Chapter 695: Vertical and Horizontal (I)

Today Cao Pi is really a little excited, I didn't expect his father to allow himself to lead troops to attack Liaodong, he knew what this meant, his father did not give this opportunity to the third brother, but to himself, which shows that his father attaches great importance to himself, Cao Pi seems to see the position of the son beckoning to him. 4

It's no wonder that Cao Pi is now in charge of government affairs for his father, and he is the deputy prime minister, if you don't think about the puppet emperor, he is worthy of the name of one person under one person, above ten thousand people, but just like this, his father still has no intention of making him a son.

Cao Pi could see that his father loved the third brother very much and sent him to take charge of Guanzhong, seeing that Chen Cang was lost, and fearing that he would lose, he took him back.

Thinking of today's discussion, Cao Pi suddenly remembered a detail, during the discussion, the third brother sat on the left and himself sat on the right. Cao Pi's excited mood was suddenly extinguished by a basin of ice water, and his heart was like a cat scratching, and he was extremely uneasy.

"Eldest son, can you go?" A guard next to him asked in a whisper.

Cao Pi waved his hand, "Wait a little longer!" ”

He pulled the curtain and looked at the gate of Tongquetai, at this time, he saw Cheng Yu walking out quickly, Cao Pi hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Go and invite Cheng Junshi!" ”

The guards rode up, and after a while, Cheng Yu hurriedly came, and Cao Pi hurriedly opened the car door, "Military advisor, please get in the car." ”

Cheng Yu was a little hesitant, but he still got into the carriage after the last minute, and he complained a little: "How can the prince let me get into the carriage in front of the Tongque Terrace, this will be known to the prime minister." ”

"I have something on my mind, please don't blame the military advisor."

Cao Pi ordered to set off, the carriage started, and slowly walked towards the city, at this time Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Congratulations to Gongzi for being able to lead troops to Liaodongβ€”β€”, rememberβ€”β€”"

"This is the credit of the military advisor, and I am grateful in my heart."

Speaking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh again, and Cheng Yu noticed that his expression was different, so he asked with concern, "What's going on?" ”

Cao Pi looked a little frustrated and said, "Didn't the military advisor find out?" Today's seating arrangement, I am sitting first on the right, but the third brother is sitting first on the left, I really don't know what my father thinks? What is he! Speaking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but be annoyed. ""Whole Site, Fast Update, No Mistakes"

Cheng Yu quickly glanced at him, in fact, he had already discovered the arrangement of the seats, obviously deliberately arranged by the prime minister, as for what kind of arrangement was made for Lu, Cheng Yu didn't know what to do, but Cheng Yu knew a little bit about it, Cao Pi valued gains and losses too much, of course, this was related to his xìng grid, yīn was cold and vicious, and narrow-minded.

Cheng Yu sighed slightly in his heart, and gently persuaded: "Maybe the prime minister feels that he has treated Gongzi a little badly, so he can give him a little comfort in some aspects, but the eldest son also has gains, didn't the prime minister let you take troops to Liaodong?" At this time, a battle that is won and not lost is of great benefit to improving the prestige of the eldest son, and a seat is insignificant in comparison. ”

Cao Pi snorted, how could he not care?

At this time, Cheng Yu continued: "I have a few points to explain to the eldest son, the first is to respect the general, the prince can ask to take Xu Huang and Mao Jue to go, appoint Xu Huang as the deputy general, Mao Jue as the military advisor, and completely trust them in actual combat." ”

"Why?" Cao Pi asked puzzled.

"The reason is very simple, the two of them lost Chen Cang, and the pressure is extremely high, if Gongzi gives them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they will be sincerely grateful to Gongzi, so they will be loyal to Gongzi."

"I know the truth, what else?"

"There is also to take Gongzi Zhang and Yang Xiu to go, give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and praise them more in front of the prime minister, this is to show your tolerance for your brother, as a father, he cares about this very much, so that he can rest assured that he will hand over the position of the son to you. ""Whole Site, Fast Update, No Mistakes"

Cao Pi was really a little reluctant in his heart, it was okay to take his brother Cao Zhang, let him take Yang Xiu, and give the credit to this person, this is absolutely impossible, Cao Pi didn't speak for a long time.

Cheng Yu saw Cao Pi's reluctance, and he didn't say more, anyway, he could do it or not, whatever he wanted!

At this time, Cao Pi remembered something again, and said in a low voice: "This time Liu Jing visited Jiangdong, and some staff suggested to me that I could use the opportunity to assassinate Liu Jing."

Without waiting for Cao Pi to finish speaking, Cheng Yu said angrily: "Whose idea is this, the son can be killed!" ”

Cao Pi was stunned, "Why is the military advisor so angry? ”

Cheng Yu held back the anger in his heart and said: "This is the villain's doing, what kind of person is the son, is he going to inherit the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the son of the Duke of Wei, his eyes must be high, his heart must be wide, he must do something and not do anything, Cheng Yu promised Liu Jing at the beginning and spared Queen Fu's life, and later Hua Xin persuaded the prime minister that he could make Queen Fu appear to die of illness, but he was angrily reprimanded by the prime minister, this is the prime minister's bearing, and the prime minister is the same as Liu Jing, he can't wait to kill him with a knife, but he wants to marry his daughter to him, is it contradictory?" There is no contradiction, those who sit in high positions should have the mind and political vision of those in high positions, but the eldest son wants to assassinate Liu Jing, what if he is not successful? Has Childe considered the consequences? ”

Cao Pi's face was red and white for a while, this was actually his idea, no one persuaded him, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence, assassinated Liu Jing, and then blamed the third brother, but he didn't expect to anger Cheng Yu, Cao Pi smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to say any more.

Cheng Yu also guessed that this was Cao Pi's own thoughts, with his heart, he was likely to do this, but Cheng Yu sighed in his heart, if Cao Pi really ascended the throne one day, it might not be a good thing!

Cheng Yu's heart was very confused, he didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, he actually had a faint trace of regret in his heart

The time gradually came to July, the hottest time of the year arrived, whether it was Jiangdong or Jingchu, the sun was like fire, the sun threw the heat wave to the earth like a fire, the air has become translucent, flowing in the fields and woods, people are hiding in their homes and do not want to come out, only occasionally can see wild dogs with their tongues scurrying through the fields.

On the Yangtze River, a fleet of 50 large ships is sailing on the river, stretching for dozens of miles, this is Liu Jing's fleet to Jiangdong, escorted by 3,000 of the most sharp soldiers.

On the 5,000-stone ship, the deck was also exceptionally quiet, not a single sailor could be seen, and the river was not only as hot as in the fields, but also more steaming, as if in a steamer.

In a transparent cabin on the fourth floor of the ship, the air flowed, and a slightly cool river breeze blew from the window, Sun Shangxiang was wearing a thin light red silk dress, lying on the floor like a cat, feeling the comfort of the cool breeze blowing through her body.

She squinted, and from time to time glanced at Liu Jing, who was reading documents at the desk in the corner of the cabin, and said in a lazy and coquettish tone: "It's not that I want to go back to Jiangdong this time, it's you who forced me to come, didn't give me food, and hit me on the head with a sword, and on such a hot day, I was covered in sweat when I moved, I was almost so hot, hey!" Did you listen to me. ”

Liu Jing stopped his pen and said a little angrily: "First, I didn't refuse to give you food, but you refused to eat because it was too hot; Second, I did not strike you on the head with the sword, but you struck me on the back with the sword; Third, this is my study, what are you doing here? ”

Sun Shangxiang's eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled and said: "Who wants to stay here, Mrs. Ben is bored and can't find anyone to talk to, or you go to my cabin, and I'll mix chilled fruit syrup for you to drink." ”

"Forget it! From Bashu to Jiangdong, when will I drink the chilled fruit syrup you concocted? ”

"It's all your own slow movements, so I can't stand the bait and drink it myself."

Speaking of this, Sun Shangxiang sat up, pulled Liu Jing by the hand, and begged coquettishly: "Come on!" Stay with me, I promise not to lie to you this time. ”

Liu Jing had no choice but to put down the pen, and as soon as he stood up, a maid reported outside the door: "Master, the Ludu Governor of Jiangdong asks to see you!" ”

Lu Su wanted to see him, Liu Jing smiled helplessly at Sun Shangxiang, Sun Shangxiang pouted dissatisfiedly, stretched his face over, Liu Jing kissed her on the cheek, turned around and left the room with a smile

Lu Su also lived on the same big ship, he and Sima Yi, who accompanied Liu Jing to Jiangdong, lived on the second floor, and the third floor was the residence of Liu Jing to deal with military and political affairs and his henchmen.

At this time, the guard outside the door said loudly: "The state pastor has arrived!" ”

Footsteps sounded, and Liu Jing walked into the cabin quickly, "Let the two of you wait for a long time!" ”

Lu Su and Sima Yi hurriedly got up and saluted, Liu Jing asked them to sit down, he came from upstairs, he was covered in sweat, Liu Jing sat down, wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled: "This weather is too hot, I'm really sorry to let the two of you run all the way to get heated." ”

Lu Su bowed and smiled: "It's similar in Jiangdong, the rivers in the south are crisscrossed, and they are hotter than in the north." ”

Sima Yi also said: "It used to be so hot in Jingzhou, and it was the same in Bashu, but I heard that Longxi is a little better." ”

"Longxi is very cool, but it is very cold in winter, so I joked to the soldiers that spending the summer in Longxi and the winter in Bashu are deeply sympathetic."

Lu Su and Sima Yi also laughed, and at this time, Lu Su said again: "In the past two days, I talked with Zhong Da about the alliance between Sun and Liu, and I heard Zhong Da say that the state pastor is ready to give up some territory, and it is estimated that Wu Hou will ask about it, so I want to confirm with the state pastor again." ”

"Indeed!" Liu Jing said with a smile: "I plan to send the two counties of Hengyang and Changsha to Jiangdong, or return the county of Qi ChΕ«n to Jiangdong, and the two are at the mercy of Jiangdong, of course, the premise is that the two families of Sun and Liu work together to attack the Central Plains, but I want to know how Jiangdong's military strength is recovering now?" Could you please tell me? ”
