Jizhou, Yecheng!

Since the alliance with Liu Xiu was finalized, Wei's war machine has also been running rapidly.

Cao 'Cao' occupies the most states in the world.

Especially Jizhou and Xuzhou, one is a granary, and the other is a commercial powerhouse.

These two places continuously provided Cao Cao's food and money to ensure that Cao Cao's rear was worry-free.

In a short period of time, Cao Cao mobilized grain and grass and an army.

Then, Cao 'Cao' ordered Chen Lin to issue a document on the crusade against Sun Quan.

In Chen Lin's essay, Sun Quan was completely turned into a 'sinister' villain, and he was also a 'traitor' thief of the Han Dynasty, and he counted Sun Quan's ten major crimes.

An essay with thousands of words sprinkled with joy can be described as hearty.

This piece of text quickly spread.

The army of Wei was ready and about to set out.

The prince Cao Pi, but at this critical time, came to Sima Yi's house.

In the study.

Cao Pi saluted respectfully, and then sat down.

Sima Yi looked up at Cao Pi and said, "Shizi, the war between Wei and Wu is about to break out, and Shizi should have a lot of things in his hands, how did he come to Xiafu?"

Cao Pi said sincerely: "I have come to ask Mr. for advice." ”

Sima Yi said, "What do you ask?"

Cao Pi's face was solemn, and he said: "What I am thinking about is that my father is sick, should I take the initiative to ask for war and go to Wu State to preside over the war." can preside over the occupation, and I am weaker than Brother Zhang in military terms. I don't want to say anything, and I'm afraid my father will be displeased. ”

Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and secretly said that Cao Pi was sensitive and 'sexual' was good.

This is the time to consider the key.

But it didn't get to the point.

Sima Yizheng said: "What the son of the world is worried about is very appropriate. In this battle, it is recommended that the prince go below. ”

Cao Pi said: "But I'm not good at military affairs. ”

Sima Yi snorted and said, "There are very few people like the king who can fight the world on the horse and govern the country when he gets off the horse. It is not surprising that the prince is deficient in military affairs. ”

"If the son doesn't understand, don't the others understand?"

"As the head of the world, you must clearly understand that as long as you can use people, everything can be solved. ”

"The prince can't fight, but there are people around him who can fight, as long as you use it well, there will naturally be someone to fight for you; the prince doesn't know martial arts, and there are people with outstanding martial arts around him; the prince can't handle government affairs, but there are people around him who understand government affairs. ”

"In short, the energy of the son of the world is only used, and it is enough to know people well!"

Sima Yi said: "Back then, Emperor Gao Liu Bang, wasn't he also a scholar who could not be a martial artist? However, Emperor Gao laid down the Han dynasty for hundreds of years. The background of the prince is much better than that of Emperor Gao, so why be afraid?"

After Cao Pi heard this, he immediately understood.

He has great respect for Sima Yi, which is his brainstorm.

"The teachings of the gentleman are taken to heart. ”

Cao Pi bowed respectfully.

Sima Yi said: "Just now, the prince wanted to take the initiative to ask for battle, and it was okay to use King Wei's body as a reason. But this reason is not enough to allow King Wei. ”

Cao Pizheng said: "What other reasons do you need?"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed with 'fine' light, and he said: "The prince only needs to say that Wu is a weak country, and if Wei and Chu join forces, Wu will be defeated." What we really have to worry about is the attack launched by the state of Chu after defeating the state of Wu. The king of Wei was wise and martial, and should sit in the center to deal with the attack of Chu. In this way, the king of Wei must agree. ”

After Cao Pi listened, he nodded solemnly.

Sima Yi's reasons are indeed sufficient.

The ultimate person of Cao 'Cao's 'Cao' is Liu Xiu, and letting Cao 'Cao' stay in Yecheng can deal with the Chu State, which is the best way to say.

Sima Yi continued: "This time when I went south, the prince watched more and listened to less command. When the time comes, the merit of the prince will naturally be indispensable. In this battle to the south, the focus of the prince is not how to command, but how to have a good relationship with the generals who go south, and further let them recognize you and support you. ”

Cao Pi said: "Mr. Teachings, understand below!"

After a pause, Cao Pi said: "Mr. is extremely intelligent, it is better for Mr. to go south together." ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "In the first battle of the southern annihilation of Wu, there is nothing to do. Moreover, it is still the long history of the palace in the next, and the king does not go south, and he will not leave in the next. ”

After Cao Pi heard this, there was a slight regret on his face.

Sima Yi said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to regret it, if you stay in Yecheng in the next place, you can also make a difference for the prince, which is not a bad thing." Just because the prince left the south can't make the prince's defense line in Yecheng empty. ”

Cao Pi arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Sima Yi said: "It's not early, let's go back early." ”

"Sir, I am going to take my leave!"

Cao Pi got up and left Sima Yi's house, and then went straight to the Wei Palace, where he saw Cao 'Cao' in the study.

Cao Pi saluted and said, "The child greets his father!"

Cao '' and said, "Sit!"

Cao Pi sat down as he said.

Cao 'Cao' asked, "What are you here for?"

Cao Pi opened the 'door' and saw the mountain and said: "My son is here to recommend himself to his father, King Mao. ”

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Cao '' a smile on the corner of his mouth and asked.

For a long time, Cao Pi has been handling government affairs steadily and steadily, and there is no place for 'Mao' and 'Mao' to be irritable. Cao Pi handles government affairs, and even Cao 'Cao' is very relieved.

Now Cao Pi 'Mao' recommended himself, and Cao 'Cao' is very curious.

Cao Pi asked: "Dare to ask my father, this time to jointly destroy Wu, is it to drive the royal conquest in person?"

Cao '' and said: "I have this plan." ”

Cao's answer is also ambiguous, there is such a plan, but it may not necessarily be necessary to go, it is only tentative.

Cao Pi said: "The son hopes to go out on behalf of his father to fight against the Wu State." ”

Cao 'Cao' asked, "What is the reason?"

Cao Pi looked sincere, and said slowly: "There are three reasons for my son. First, my father had not recovered from his illness long ago, and he was still recuperating from his body. If my father is in good health, my Wei Kingdom will be as stable as Mount Tai. Now that it has begun to enter the summer, the weather in the south is 'tidal', and my father is going south to fight, so he can't escape the heat, and he has to 'work' hard, which is not conducive to recuperating his body. ”

After Cao '' listened, his face 'revealed' a look of relief.

Cao Pi's words also make sense.

Cao '' and said, "Second?"

Cao Pi continued: "Second, Wu is a weak country, and if our Wei State and Chu State jointly attack Wu State, Wu State will be defeated. As long as the father sends generals and resourceful men to fight, the battle will be won. ”

"What is worrying is the army of the state of Chu. ”

"Once the state of Wu is destroyed, Liu Xiu is afraid that he will go to war. ”

"When the time comes, it will be necessary for my father to coordinate and plan so that he can make the fastest response. ”

"If the father is on the front line, it is not easy to coordinate. ”

"Only if my father stays in Yecheng, can he respond as quickly as possible, so as to counterattack Liu Xiu, or even attack first. ”

Cao Pi followed Sima Yi's strategy and gave the second reason.

This reason still makes Cao '' very satisfied.

Cao 'Cao' in history regarded Sun Quan as a great enemy, and said that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou.

But because of the appearance of Liu Xiu, Sun Quan has never developed and has been suppressed.

Therefore, Cao '' doesn't take Sun Quan in his eyes.

Cao '' was a little surprised by Cao Pi's analysis, and said, "What about the third?"

When Cao Pi said third, his face became serious, and he said: "Father Wang Wen can govern the country, and Wu can lead the army." As the son of his father, Pi'er did not know about war and felt ashamed. ”

"It's not difficult to attack Wu this time, so my son thought about it, and also went to the battlefield to see it, and learned a thing or two from my predecessors and uncles. ”

"Only in this kind of war can my son dare to go and see it. ”

"If it is a 'confrontation' with Liu Xiu, the war is hanging on the front line, and my son will not dare to go without permission. ”

Cao Pi said: "The son begs his father for permission. ”

After Cao '' listened, his face also 'revealed' a deep 'groan' look.

Cao Pi's request, Cao 'Cao' was also quite pleased, because Cao Pi had this heart.

Cao '' so far, the most satisfied heir is Cao Ang.

Cao Ang's civil and military skills are the most similar to Cao's 'Cao', but unfortunately he died on the battlefield in order to save him.

Cao Pi had the heart to exercise, and Cao 'Cao' had no opinion, and said: "Your request, this king has granted it." This time to attack the state of Wu, the king will appoint the chief general of the army to be responsible for the destruction of Wu. You go as the commander-in-chief, but you are not allowed to 'interfere' in military affairs. ”

Cao Pi clenched his fists and said, "My son obeys his father's orders. ”

At this moment, Cao Pi's heart was also excited, with the results of the first battle to destroy Wu, he had another stroke on his resume.

Cao Cao waved his hand to Cao Pi to retreat, and then began to arrange the dispatch of troops.
