Chapter 706: The Son of the World, Cao Pi
Fa Zheng went north with a mission, and when he left Xiangyang, he entered Nanyang. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
When he arrived at the junction between Yuzhou and Nanyang, Fa Zheng arrived at Zhang Ren's military camp.
Zhang Ren learned that Fa Zheng was going north and wanted to send troops to escort him, but Fa Zheng refused.
This time, he was an envoy of the State of Chu.
He went to Wei as an envoy, even if the people of Wei were eager to kill him, they would not do anything to him.
As soon as Fa Zhengyi entered the territory of Yuzhou, he was soon discovered by the Wei government.
He reported his identity and purpose, and the Wei government allowed him to go, but the news had already been transmitted back to Yecheng first.
When the news reached Yecheng, it was already the end of March.
After Cao Pi received the news, he didn't dare to hide it, and went directly to see Cao ''.
In the study.
Cao Pi saluted and said, "My son has seen my father. β
Cao 'Cao' put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Cao Pi, and said, "What's the matter?"
Today's Cao '' has almost recovered.
However, Cao Cao's power was not collected, and daily government affairs were still 'handed over' to Cao Pi for handling.
What Cao 'Cao' holds is only the power of the army.
Cao Pi said respectfully: "Father, I just received the news that the envoy of the Chu State is coming to Yecheng. β
Cao '' and said, "What is the other party doing?"
At this moment, Cao '', but he was a little curious in his heart.
Cao Pi replied, "It is said that he came to form an alliance with his father. β
"Alliance?"
Cao's eyes froze, and there was a touch of emotion on his face.
He and Liu Xiu fought to the death last year, and now Liu Xiu actually took the initiative to send an envoy to Yecheng.
That's interesting.
From this level, it can be seen that Liu Xiu is a mature opponent.
Don't stick to the hatred of the past.
For the sake of profit, be able to put down the sub.
Cao '' his former opponent Yuan Shao, that was an extremely proud and conceited person, if Yuan Shao was to lower his head, it would be impossible at all, but Liu Xiu was different.
Liu Xiu is cunning and more able to bend and stretch, and is the enemy of Cao's ''.
Cao 'Cao' asked, "What is Liu Xiu's alliance for?"
Cao Pi shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being!"
Regarding the alliance with Liu Xiu, Cao Pi did not agree very much.
Wei and Chu have long been enemies of life and death.
In particular, Liu Xiu poached Jia Xu and killed Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, which caused the Wei State to lose consecutive battles......
A series of hatreds have made the two sides already hostile.
Liu Xiu formed an alliance at this time, and Cao Pi really wanted to send someone to kill Fa Zheng and teach Liu Xiu a lesson.
Cao Cao Cao glanced up, and when he saw Cao Pi's look, he asked, "Pi'er, what do you think about Liu Xiu sending someone to form an alliance?"
Cao Pi said directly: "Erchen thinks it's inappropriate!"
Cao '' and said, "Why?"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Pi thought about it.
Although he was canonized as the prince of Wei, he was not the only brother who competed with him.
Therefore, Cao Pi should be cautious in his words and deeds.
Even if he doesn't approve of an alliance, there has to be a good reason.
Cao Pi said: "There are two reasons why Erchen does not approve of the alliance. β
Cao 'Cao' bowed slightly, signaling Cao Pi to continue.
Cao Pi explained: "First, the alliance between Wei and Chu, what should Sun Quan do? Jiangdong Wu was isolated, so Liu Xiu could only be cheapened. When the time comes, Liu Xiu will take the state of Wu, which will be extremely unfavorable to us. β
"Alliance with Chu State, and give up Wu State, my son thinks it is to buy and return the pearl. β
"The state of Wu is an ally, and the state of Chu is our enemy. β
Cao Pi talked eloquently and said his first reason.
This reason is a matter of business.
This is considered from the perspective of the Wei state.
Cao 'Cao' asked, "What about the second?"
Cao Pi replied: "Second, the Wei State is all hostile to the Chu State. The two Xiahou uncles both died at the hands of Liu Xiu. Jia Xu and Zhang Jaw were persuaded by Liu Xiu to surrender. I, the Wei State and the Chu State, have a hatred that is not shared by the sky. If you form an alliance with the Chu State, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"
After hearing this, Cao '' and nodded.
There is some truth in Cao Pi's analysis.
It can be seen that Cao Pi is attentive.
Among his current sons, the main ones are Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang.
It's just that Cao Zhi is biased towards literature, and he is more capricious.
Cao Zhang, on the other hand, was more martial and was not interested in government affairs.
You can fight the world right away, but you can't rule the world right away.
To sum up, Cao Pi is the most suitable.
And Cao Pi also has his own views and has certain political opinions.
Cao 'Cao' thought for a moment and asked, "Is that all?"
When Cao Pi heard this, he immediately choked.
He thought to himself, "Isn't my father satisfied?"
Cao Pi's brain was running quickly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with other problems for a while.
Finally, Cao Pi shook his head.
He couldn't 'touch' Cao's '' thoughts, and he couldn't think of other questions.
Cao 'Cao' didn't break it, and directly ordered: "Liu Xiu sent someone to form an alliance, and the order was given, not to be blocked along the way, but also to protect Fazheng and let him arrive safely." If anyone stands in the way, kill!"
Hiss!
After Cao Pi heard this, he 'pumped' in his heart.
Listening to Cao's '', is he planning to ally with the Chu State?
Cao Pi suddenly regretted it in his heart, he knew that Cao '' was thinking like this, so he was not in a hurry to put forward his ideas.
This time, it is completely contrary to Cao's opinion.
Cao Pi was dripping blood in his heart, but he didn't show any 'dew' on his face, and said respectfully: "My son will arrange it." β
Cao '' waved his hand and said, "Stand down!"
"Whoa!"
Cao Pi left respectfully.
He left the Wei Palace, and soon returned to his mansion.
Cao Pi is extremely decisive and a resolute person. As soon as he returned to the Shizi Mansion, he conveyed Cao's order to the people below to carry it out.
It's just Cao's intention to '', after Cao Pi thinks about it, it's still not clear.
In the end, Cao Pi changed his clothes and left the prince's mansion.
After leaving the house, he walked towards Yecheng East Street.
The East Street of Yecheng is not a place where dignitaries gather, but many officials of the DPRK and China are here.
Cao Pi's carriage came to a stop outside a mansion, and after he got out of the carriage, he went straight to the mansion. And the 'attendants' at the entrance of the big 'gate' did not stop Cao Pi.
Obviously, Cao Pi is a regular visitor.
Cao Pi bypassed the antechamber, walked through the cloister, and went straight to the backyard.
In the backyard, there is a pond.
At the edge of the pond, a middle-aged man in his thirties was fishing.
This person's surname is Sima, his name is Yi, and his name is Zhongda.
Today's Sima Yi, who serves in the Wei Palace, serves as the long history of Cao Cao'.
Sima Yi was wearing a black 'colored' robe, and his appearance was dignified, but his eyes were narrow and long, revealing a touch of 'gloom'.
Cao Pi came to Sima Yi's side and arched his hand: "Sir!"
After saluting, Cao Pi didn't care about Sima Yi and sat down directly beside Sima Yi.
Sima Yi squinted at Cao Pi and asked, "Why did the prince have time to come here today?"
Cao Pi said distressedly: "I have come to ask Mr. for advice." β
He has a lot of respect for Sima Yi, on the one hand, Sima Yi is talented, and on the other hand, when he was the son of the world, Sima Yi once helped him speak.
In a way, Sima Yi is his person, and his brain.
Sima Yi said: "Say it!"
Cao Pi said directly: "Today I received news that the State of Chu sent an envoy Fa Zheng to Yecheng to ally with the State of Wei. β
"My father asked me for my opinion, and I said it was not suitable for the Alliance. β
"I listed two reasons, one is that the alliance with the Chu State will give up Sun Quan, and the other is that the Wei State and the Chu State have a deep hatred, and the people below will not agree. β
But when his father heard this, he did not express his opinion. β
Cao Pi's expression was a little apprehensive, and he said: "My father directly asked me to send an order to allow Fa Zheng to enter Yecheng, and even ordered that those who block along the way should be killed." My father didn't explain it, and I couldn't guess it. Say, "What does Father mean?"
