This is not to wronged them, Cao Cao did tomb robbery in his early years in order to raise military funds. Lao Tzu can rob tombs, and the son has inherited this bandit gene, maybe he will really rob the army. Therefore, the rich families had to take out part of their family wealth to give Cao Pi for military expenses.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei's finances can still hold on. The government and the opposition did not dare not give face to the emperor, and they all donated some military funds to a greater or lesser extent, but Cao Hong, the Chinese version of Grande, still did not give Cao Pi face, he still looked like a dime a dime, and refused to lend a penny to Cao Pi.

Not only did he not borrow money, but he also took the lead in transferring property and disturbing the morale of the army. Originally, Cao Pi did not plan to move the capital to Chang'an, he wanted to stick to Xuchang and fight to the death with Shu Han. However, when the Han army was still far away, Cao Hong began to sell off the fields and houses near Xuchang on a large scale, and successively transferred his property to the Guanzhong area.

The amount of his property is huge, and such a big move naturally can't be hidden from people with intentions, and his actions have caused an uproar in the government and the opposition~ waves, even the emperor's uncle is transferring his property, can this emperor still be able to keep it?

The Wei army lost again and again in the war, the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China were fluctuating, and Cao Pi was trying his best to calm the people's hearts.

Therefore, Cao Pi was furious, and the new and old accounts were counted together, and immediately ordered Cao Hong to be arrested and put in prison, and planned to kill him to vent his anger. However, he wanted to kill Cao Hong, but many people did not agree, and many ministers came to dissuade him, and even the Empress Dowager Bian prevented him from killing Cao Hong.

Empress Dowager Bian angrily reprimanded Cao Pi and said: "Between Liang and Pei, there is no such thing as Zilian today. ”

What does Empress Dowager Bian mean by this? It turned out that she was talking about an incident a long time ago, in February 190 AD (the first year of Chuping), Cao Cao ~ raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and when he arrived in Xingyang, he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

In the meantime, Cao Cao lost his mount, and Dong Jun pursued very urgently, Cao Hong jumped off the horse when he saw this, and gave the mount to Cao Cao, Cao Cao refused, Cao Hong said: "The world can do without me Cao Hong, but not without you!" ”

So he followed Cao Cao on foot to the edge of the Bianshui, but the Bianshui was deep and rapid, and he could not wade across the river, so Cao Hong searched along the river and finally found a ferry, so Cao Cao was able to cross the river and return to the county.

That is to say, Cao Hong had a life-saving grace for Cao Cao, if it wasn't for Cao Hong's rescue back then, Cao Cao would have died at that time, then there would be no King Wei who was powerful in the world, and of course there would be no Cao Pi as the emperor today. That's why Empress Dowager Bian scolded Cao Pi for not remembering the old feelings and not knowing how to repay the favor.

Empress Dowager Bian not only scolded Cao Pi, but also said to Empress Guo: "If Cao Hong dies today, I will let the emperor depose you tomorrow." Empress Guo, who was lying down and was shot, couldn't, so she had to cry repeatedly and beg Cao Pi to pardon Cao Hong.

Cao Pi is out of line, he can ignore the persuasion of the ministers of the court, who made him the emperor, but the old lady in the family scolded, and his wife cried and made trouble and hanged himself every day to annoy him, so he had to issue an order to pardon Cao Hong.

After Cao Pi pardoned Cao Hong, he felt uneasy, there is a way that sins can be forgiven, and living sins are unforgivable, so he ordered Cao Hong's official position, title, and fiefdom to be all stripped away. But Empress Dowager Bian quit again, and she came out to intercede for Cao Hong again, so helpless, Cao Pi had to return Cao Hong's family wealth.

After all, this world still has to talk about filial piety, although he is the emperor, he does not dare to disobey the old lady, otherwise the whole world will point at his nose and scold, and he will scold for thousands of years, so although Cao Pi is very unhappy in his heart, he still has to obediently comply.

Although he finally let Cao Hong go, however, the impact of this incident has happened, Cao Hong is the life-saving benefactor of Taizu (Cao Cao), and he has also made many military exploits, which is considered a great hero, but Cao Pi treated him like this, which made many people complain a lot about him, thinking that he was cold by nature and was not a master who could be entrusted with his life.

Another effect of this incident is that the ministers changed from being indecisive at the beginning to resolutely supporting the relocation of the capital, because everyone did not want to accompany this cold-natured emperor to burn all the jade here.

Because of Cao Hong's leading role, the wealthy households of the people also swarmed to transfer their assets to Guanzhong. As a result, the relocation of the capital has become an irreversible trend.

Cao Pi was forced to have no choice but to give up the large ~ territory outside the Guanzhong and move all his forces into the Guanzhong. It can be seen how much Cao Pi hates Cao Hong. But it was useless to hate, Cao Hong still lived his rich life leisurely after moving into Guanzhong.

Although his property has shrunk a lot in the process of migration, he can't bear the large base of his wealth, even if he loses a lot this time, he is still rich and rivals, and he is still the richest man in Wei.

For this person he hates, Cao Pi naturally will not be reused, so Cao Hong is still at home. However, the good times did not last long, although Cao Pi moved the Wei court to Guanzhong, relying on the topography of the four places in Guanzhong, he wanted to be in a corner of peace, but Liu Hou did not give him this opportunity.

The 300,000 soldiers of the Han army were harassing day and night outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and according to the scouts who stayed outside the pass, the Shu Han country had been intensively mobilizing for war, the war machine was running non-stop, and the Han army was ready to rush into the pass at any time and destroy the Wei State.

In fact, as long as they are not stupid~ Zizi, they understand that Shu Han will not stop the pace of war, and their next target is undoubtedly Wei. Under this situation, the clouds of war have been hanging over Guanzhong, and Wei has to mobilize with the whole country and make full preparations to deal with the invaders.

However, now the problem comes, in the past, the Wei State occupied a vast territory, although the burden on the imperial court was very heavy, but there were also advantages, the advantages are: a wide source of soldiers, a large number of talents, and a large amount of grain that can be collected.

Now that it has shrunk into Guanzhong, although it has thrown off a lot of burden, lightened the burden on the imperial court, and reduced the area of defense, it is also facing problems such as insufficient troops, insufficient talents, and insufficient food. Let's not talk about how Cao Pi solved the problem of military resources and food, but only about the problem of talent.

Due to the repeated defeats of the Wei army, a large number of generals were either killed or captured, and now Cao Pi is also facing the problem of lack of leading generals. Although the Guanzhong region has produced talents since ancient times, it is impossible to recruit talents who can take charge of themselves in the short term, especially trustworthy talents.

For Cao Pi, if you want to talk about the most trustworthy, of course, it is the clansmen of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, as the situation becomes more and more tense, Cao Pi almost sent out the people of these two clans, even Cao Hong is no exception, and he was also conscripted to lead the troops.

Of course, Cao Pi was still very unhappy with him, and he didn't trust him very much, and he was naturally not allowed to go to such an important place on the eastern front, so he sent him to the north to guard Xiao Pass. According to the analysis of several bigwigs in the Wei court, the north is the most unlikely place to have a war.

It is possible that the army of Shu Han will attack from the direction of Tiger Pass in the east, or it may be killed from the direction of Hanzhong in the south, because these two places have already fallen into the hands of Shu Han, and it is natural for them to attack the enemy from their own territory~ .
