In order to let Liu Qi send troops to support Liu Bei to take Yuzhou, Zhuge Liang came up with the idea of borrowing troops from Nan Ye to defend the second county of Jingzhou, to put it bluntly, he gave the second county to Nan Ye, but he changed it to a nice way for Liu Qi to accept. This has three advantages: First, it can persuade Liu Qi to send troops to take Yuzhou with all his might. The second is that after getting Yuzhou, the subordinate relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Qi will be reversed, and Liu Bei's dependence on Liu Qi in Jingzhou at that time will be changed to Liu Qi's dependence on Liu Bei in Yuzhou. The third is that you can sell your favor to Nan Ye, so that Nan Ye can get the whole territory of Jingzhou, and I am embarrassed to fight with Liu Bei for Yuzhou.

Nan Ye knew that although Xiangyang County was called a county, it was not large in area, mainly a Xiangyang City, and Jiangxia County together was not as large as Wuling County, and the so-called two counties were actually similar to one county. Zhuge Liang's exchange of a county for Yuzhou can be regarded as a good deal. However, Nan Ye was worried that as soon as Zhuge Liang returned the troops afterwards and wanted to go back to Jiangxia and Xiangyang, he would lose a lot.

Pang Tong felt that there was really a possibility when he heard Nan Ye say that he was worried, after all, Zhuge Liang's apparent reason was to borrow troops to defend the city, and he didn't say that he would send the two counties together, so he could naturally ask for it again. However, since Nan Ye has taken it into account, he can ask Zhuge Liang to add an additional confidential gift agreement after the superficial loan agreement. Jiaozhou officials often deal with businessmen, and many materials are purchased through Jiaozhou volunteers, and they are most proficient in various contract agreements.

Since the two sides decided to cooperate, Nan Ye asked Pang Tong, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Jin to talk to Zhuge Liang about the specific details. Perhaps none of the three of them are as smart as Zhuge Liang, but Nan Ye believes that these three think tanks will only be stronger than Zhuge Liang when added together.

Zhuge Liang's visit to this trip can be regarded as an eye-opener, although Sun, Liu, and Nan were alliances before, there was no specific contract stipulating rights and obligations. But this time, Nan Ye moved out the cooperation agreement. Zhuge Liang has not dealt with official documents, but most of the ancient official documents are concise and concise, how can they be as detailed and specific as modern contracts? However, the legal system is implemented in Jiaozhou, and all kinds of documents are formulated very carefully like modern contracts, so as to avoid mistakes and bad judgments of rights and responsibilities. Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded when he took the agreement drafted by Pang Tong, he didn't know who Party A and Party B were above, not to mention professional terms such as force majeure.

Pang Tong was also very relieved to see Zhuge Liang deflated, in the past, Zhuge Liang watched him deflated, but this time Pang Tong finally raised his eyebrows and began to explain the content of the agreement to Zhuge Liang. In fact, these things on the agreement were all newly learned by Pang Tong after he arrived in Jiaozhou, even if Feng Xiao Pang Tong wanted to govern in Jiaozhou, he had to study first and then take up his post.

The more logically rigorous the rules, the fewer loopholes in the contract with detailed rules, and the less ambiguous interpretations there are. Zhuge Liang's tongue and Confucianism's argument lost its role in the face of the detailed agreement, and in the end, Pang Tong and the three had to sign the agreement and leave.

As soon as Zhuge Liang left here, Nan Ye immediately sent troops and ordered Zhuge Jin and Huang Zhong to lead 20,000 Jiaozhou troops to take over the two counties. The rest of the men and horses were divided into two routes, one was led by Zhang Liao, Jia Xu, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai to take Chang'an. On the other hand, Nanye, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others led troops to take Luoyang and Science City. After many years, Nan Ye is finally back.

Nanye sent the troops to the division, Liu Bei sent the soldiers to Yuzhou, Sun Quan sent the soldiers to Xuzhou, and the land under Cao Cao's jurisdiction was full of smoke, and at the same time, the news of Cao Cao's death also spread to Xuchang, and the civil and military officials of Cao Ying were all in chaos. The people under his rule were also unstable due to the closure of the dart bureau and the money bank, and the money tickets could not be exchanged, and many people moved south.

Cao Cao's wife, Bian, saw that the courtiers were in chaos and there was no one in charge, so she ordered someone to invite Xun Yu out of charge. Previously, Xun Yu was alienated by Cao Cao because of his opposition to Cao Cao's public throne, so he did not go south to Chibi but escaped. At this time, Cao Cao and his subordinate military ministers were served by Nan Ye, and the only one who could be qualified to govern was Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's first order after his comeback was to abandon Sili, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, and shrink his forces to defend Xuchang. Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi not only cost him his life, but also buried the civil and military generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If Xun Yu wants Xuchang not to lose, he must transfer troops from other places, and then exchange space for time, and strive to stabilize the situation.

When Cao soldiers from all over the country received military orders and rushed to Xuchang, Cao Ying's civil and military forces were slightly stable. Immediately afterwards, Xun Yu borrowed the emperor Liu Xie to pass on the holy decree, Jiaozi, money tickets, and Jiaozhou Tongbao continued to circulate, and if you need to exchange it, you can go to the government to exchange five baht money. As soon as this holy decree came out, the people's hearts were immediately stable, and what the people were most afraid of was that the Cao and Nan families would fight each other, and the Jiaozi and money tickets in their hands would become waste paper. Now that the currency can continue to circulate, the people are not in a hurry to exchange it, and how to spend it and how to spend it.

After the hearts of the army and the people were a little calmer, Xun Yu gathered the generals in the hall and said: "The lord is unfortunately in Chibi, and Nan Ye, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei are not dead and send a large army to attack. For the sake of today, we should set up a new lord, and then think about avenging the lord. What do you think? ”

When all the generals heard this, they all said: "What Xun Gong said is extremely true! ”

Xun Yu continued: "Although the lord hurriedly abandoned the world and left no legacy, the so-called grandson has a successor, and there is no grandson. Cao Ang, the eldest son of the lord, unfortunately died in Wancheng at an early age. Today, Cao Pi is the eldest son-in-law, and he foolishly thinks that Cao Pi should succeed to the position of prime minister. Do you have any other intentions? ”

Due to Nan Ye's relationship, the Battle of Chibi was advanced by several years. Now Cao Cao's sons are not yet adults, and they are all born to the Bian family, and there is no such thing as fighting for power with each other. Therefore, as soon as Xun Yu mentioned Cao Pi, all the civil and military forces seconded the proposal.

Xun Yu saw that the major event had been decided, so the news of Cao Cao's death was officially announced, and the whole city mourned, and all the civil and military officials mourned. Because Cao Cao's body was sacrificed to Ma Teng by Ma Chao, he was later buried by Nanye. Cao Ying's generals had no choice but to use gold coffins and silver coffins to put Cao Cao's clothes into the funeral.

After Cao Cao was buried, Cao Pi ascended the throne on the same day, and Li Ru forced Emperor Liu Xie to confer Cao Pi as the Duke of Wei and Prime Minister, leading the Jizhou Pastor, and being congratulated by bureaucrats of all sizes. Cao Pi also named Xun Yu as Shangshu Ling, in charge of political affairs. The rest of the civil and military forces have their own rewards.

After the hundred officials finished congratulating, they all looked at Cao Pi, waiting for Cao Pi to give an order. But Cao Pi was only thirteen or fourteen years old at this time, where could he compare with Cao Cao? Seeing the hundred officials looking at him, Cao Pi also looked at the hundred officials, not knowing what to do.

Just when Cao Pi and the hundred officials were staring at each other, the soldiers outside the palace came into the palace to report: "Prime Minister Qiqi, Nan Ye has taken the place of division and is attacking the Tiger Prison Pass." Liu Bei took Yuzhou, and the soldiers and horses came to Xuchang. Sun Quan took Xuzhou, and the soldiers and horses also came to Yanzhou. ”

When Cao Ying's generals heard this, they blew up and talked about it, and everyone was in danger. Cao Pi was eight years old and could write for the text, although it was difficult to compare with Cao Cao at this time, but he also understood the reason, and when he heard that the soldiers and horses of the three roads came together, he was shocked and said: "How is this good?" ”

Xun Yu came out of the class and said: "Prime Minister doesn't need to panic! The soldiers of Xuchang are full of food, and they have the benefits of the city, even if the three thieves of Nanye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan come together, it is difficult to break through. What's more, all the civil and military forces are here, and there must be a good way to break the enemy. ”

Cao Pi asked everyone after Xun Yu mentioned it: "What is the good strategy of the princes to break the enemy?" ”

Cao Chun was defeated by Zhou Yu and returned to Xuchang only to learn that Cao Cao had died, and his heart was grief-stricken. ”

Han Hao came out of the class and said: "The three thieves are fierce and not suitable for battle, and the first general is quite commander and guards the city." ”

Cui Yan said: "There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, according to my opinion, Cheng is quite moving the capital to Yecheng with the Son of Heaven, and Xuchang can abide by the rules, but cannot retreat from the rules." ”

Liu Fu took a step forward and said, "What Ji Jue said is reasonable! In addition to moving the capital, the prime minister can also return the public position to appease the anger of the three soldiers and horses, and temporarily make peace with the three families. Wait for the next day to raise troops and horses again to avenge today's revenge. ”

Cao Zhen said eagerly: "The prime minister must not move the capital!" We are willing to live and die with Xu Du. ”

Cao Pi's audience was full of nonsense, wanting to fight, and his head was bigger, and he couldn't help but look at Xun Yu and asked, "Does Mr. Wen Ruo have a clever plan to break the enemy?" ”

Seeing Cao Pi's inquiry, the generals were silent and looked at Xun Yu. Xun Yu came out of the class and said: "The words of all the generals are reasonable. As for whether the capital will be moved or not, it depends on whether the capital can be kept. Liu Bei's soldiers were outnumbered, so it was difficult to get Yuzhou, and the soldiers were just bluffing. Sun Quan's soldiers and horses are still in good shape, but if he wants to fall into battle and attack the city, it is still far away, and the prime minister does not need to worry. Only Nan Ye's soldiers and horses are very worried, if he joins forces with the other two roads, Xuchang is in danger, and I have no plan to break it. ”

As soon as Xun Yu's voice fell, someone said: "I have a plan to rival the national teacher." ”

When everyone heard it, it was the strategist Li Ru. Although Li Ru had a strategy, because he had previously been out of Dong Zhuo, he was very excluded by General Cao, and the Chinese military forces did not want to associate with him. Li Ru has a bad reputation and is also very low-key, but at this time, everyone has nothing to do, and he can't keep a low profile, so he bowed forward and said: "The prime minister can quickly send someone to make peace with Liu Bei, cut the subordinate land east of the Tiger Prison Pass to Liu Bei, and then send a detailed work to inform Nan Ye of this matter." If Nan Ye goes out of the Tiger Prison and enters Xuchang, he must first pass through Liu Bei's land, and Liu Bei has already made peace with the prime minister, how dare Nan Ye pass by? Nan Ye either didn't dare to send troops because of Liu Bei, or fought with Liu Bei, and Xuchang was safe. ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this: "This plan is wonderful! But what if Liu Bei doesn't want to make peace? ”

At this time, another person came out of the class and said: "Prime Minister don't need to worry too much, I have a plan to make the three families quit." ”

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, and they looked for prestige, only to see that the person who spoke was very young and looked like an eagle, it was Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said: "The right talent Yuan Ying Yancheng is quite retiring from the public position to calm the anger of the public, I thought otherwise. The three thieves are angry at the prime minister's public position, only because the prime minister has it and the three people don't, and the prime minister is better than returning the public position to make the quartet have nothing, it is better to seal the three people and order all four parties. If it goes further, the prime minister can crown three people as kings, and as long as one of the three is crowned, the other two will inevitably accept peace with the prime minister. After the three of them were crowned kings, it was only natural that the prime minister would be promoted to the throne subsequently. ”

Cao Pi also knew that the "king" was bigger than the "duke", and he was a little unhappy when he heard Sima Yi say that the three people were kings, but he was happy again when he heard that Sima Yi was planning to be crowned king for himself. But he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Xun Yu: "What does Mr. Wenruo think?" ”

Xun Yu smiled: "This plan is very good! If it is used properly, it can not only make the three families retreat, but also make the three families enemies, and the prime minister can act in this way......"
