In the second year of Zhangwu of Shu Han and the spring of the third year of Wei and Huangchu, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, set up all the soldiers and horses of Jianye, with Zhu Ran as the vanguard, went up the Shuojiang River, and personally conquered Jiangxia. Commander Zhao Shi was ordered to send an envoy to Cao Wei, and two days before Sun Quan raised his troops, he set off and came all the way to Luoyang. Zhao Zhi is already the second envoy Cao Wei, the previous Sun Quan called the vassal in Wei, then he took it as an envoy, the Wei lord Jindian asked, the answer was like a stream, won the praise of the Wei lord and the ministers. This time I came to Luoyang to be familiar with the road, and I first met Jia Xu and other officials.

The next day, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi ascended to the palace, and Taiwei Jia Xu came out of the class and said: "Jiangdong Sun Quan reprimanded Zhao Shi to enter the Hajj. Cao Pi smiled and said to the ministers: "The former has to make detailed news, Wu General Lu Xun was defeated in Jiangxia, and Sun Quan has personally requisitioned it." This time the envoy came, because he was afraid that I would make the army attack after it, and I should summon it in and appease it with kind words. He was called in and soothed with kind words.

Zhao Zhichao saw Yibi and withdrew from the hall. Doctor Liu Ye came out of the class and said: "The Shu army is strong, even the battle is victorious, Sun Quan has a large army again, Wu is empty, Your Majesty should punish General Zhang of Runan to take advantage of the situation to send troops, recover the Huainan land, and then cross the river to attack it, and the Eastern Wu will be destroyed in a few days." ”

Cao Pi smiled and said: "The former Qing offered this plan, and if I don't adopt it, Wu Shu has not yet fought, but I am afraid that as soon as my army comes out, the two families will stop fighting." Now Sun Liu has a deep grudge, and I should use Qing's strategy to kill him. Shicai was kind enough to appease Zhao Zhi, and he was about to relax Sun Quan's defense. ”

Liu Ye bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Cao Pi was very proud, and said: "Quickly pass the order to Zhang Wenyuan, Zang Xuan, the second general, so that he can recover Huainan." Cao Zilie sent troops to Xu Du, and the governor of Zhulu military horses. Cao Xiu hurriedly went out to receive the order.

"At this point, the world is just around the corner." Cao Pi got up and pointed to the southeast, and said: "On the day of pacifying Jiangdong, I should personally go to inspect to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky." After laughing, he was about to retreat. The captain on duty outside the hall strode in and said, "Your Majesty, General Xu Huang is in a hurry." ”

Cao Pi was slightly surprised, Xu Huang was the right general, supervising the military affairs of Sizhou, stationed in Hanoi, the original intention was to guard against Cao Zhang, the second brother of Jinyang. Now there is a military report, could it be ...... Cao Pi hurriedly asked someone to take the military newspaper, opened it and read it, only read a few lines, and then he was full of color, and the general newspaper was thrown to the ground, and said angrily: "How dare a traitor? ”

The ministers below, who didn't know the content of the military report, saw that Tianwei was furious, and they all knelt down on the ground, attached their heads and forbade them, and they didn't dare to come out. After a while, Cao Pi's anger subsided for a while, and then he said slowly: "The discussion of the Eastern Expedition is abandoned, and the dynasty is retreated." The ministers didn't dare to reply, and shouted in unison and retreated. Cao Pi and the others retreated, and then ordered the eunuch general to pick it up and return to the palace, but while ordering to summon Jia Xu, Sima Fu, Liu Ye and Zhu Cao Jin.

Cao Pi returned to the inner hall and sat down, opened Xu Huang's military newspaper again, and inspected it carefully, but it was Cao Zhang's private soldiers and horses who moved the garrison from Jinyang to Shangdang, and his subordinate Hao Zhao's department had reached Gaodu, Zhou Yi's department had gone out of Lingchuan, and Liang Xi had come out of Huguan. Zi Wen'an has been divided for two years, and finally can't help it? Want to take advantage of the time when the Sun and Liu families have no time to look north, and come to make a settlement with me? Cao Pi slammed his fist on the imperial case in front of him, blaming himself for his kindness back then, and the return of the tiger to the mountain, which caused today's disaster, and he couldn't let him go this time.

Just as Cao Pi punched, Jia Xu had already come to the door and heard this loud noise. Although Xu Huang's military report didn't read it, he could guess seven or eight points, it must be that Cao Junhou of Bingzhou made a move, otherwise His Majesty could cancel the plan to attack Eastern Wu? He is already in his last years, and he only hopes to be in the ground as soon as possible, and he has no guilt when he sees the first emperor, but now if Cao Junhou really starts an army and makes a rebellion, how can he speak to protect him? How to be worthy of the dying trust of the emperor? Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Is it Captain Jia? Come in. Cao Pi heard the sigh outside and knew that only Jia Xu had the honor of being able to enter without a report. This old fellow is bent on my two younger brothers, and now it will be up to him to tell the difference.

When Jia Xu heard Cao Pi summoning him, he had to step in and salute: "Weichen see Your Majesty." If it was in the past, Cao Pi had already been sent to help each other, but today he sat on the dragon chair and said lightly: "Taiwei doesn't have to be polite." Jia Xu got up and looked at Cao Pi's face full of frost, the punch just now, he also knew that he had moved the killing intent, from ancient times to the present, which emperor could tolerate others watching his throne?

Cao Pi handed Xu Huang's military report to Jia Xu and said, "How about the Taiwei get an idea for me?" Let's see what the second brother wants? ”

Jia Xu took the military report with both hands, took a look at it, knew its meaning, and said: "Cao Junhou changed the place without authorization, and the old minister did not understand his meaning, and asked His Majesty to ask him to return to Jinyang." ”

Cao Pi snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that in his eyes, my edict is like waste paper." In my opinion, I am afraid that the second brother not only does not want to return to Jinyang, but wants to go south to Luoyang. And then, where does the captain go? ”

This was said very seriously, Jia Xu hurriedly bowed to the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The old minister will never dare." It's just that Cao Junhou's intentions are unclear, and he hopes that His Majesty will be good at it. ”

"Do you really have to wait until his soldiers come to the city before you know his intentions?" Cao Pi said: "In the past, I was the son of the world, and I had the help of the Taiwei, why do I want to abandon me and rebel now?" ”

Jia Xu kowtowed again and again, and sobbed: "Your Majesty and the prince are both the blood of the first emperor, and the old minister really can't bear to see flesh and blood kill each other. ”

Cao Pi sighed and said, "This is not my wish, but the second brother is too pressing." Taiwei and flat, since Taiwei has such a loyal heart, can he go to the party, if the second brother can hand over the military power, I will be crowned the king and knighted, and I will not hesitate. ”

Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi and said, "If Your Majesty has this intention, the old minister dares to resign?" He must try his best to persuade the prince. ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "If you have Captain Lao, you can return to the mansion to prepare, and you don't have to resign." Jia Xu took the order and retreated, and when he left the palace, he heard a eunuch shouting: "The great Sima Cao Ren, Liu Ye in the service, and Sima Fu in the middle concubine." Jia Xu couldn't help but move in his heart, knowing that Cao Pi was so enthusiastic that the day of chaos was not far away, so he sighed silently and retreated.

Cao Ren and the other four people entered to see Cao Pi, and the worship was completed. Cao Pi showed them one by one with Xu Huangjun's report, and asked: "Ziwen acts like this, what do the secretaries have to say?" ”

Sima Fu said: "When the first emperor was in Japan, Cao Yue rode on his own merits, and he had the intention of seizing the throne. Now to lead the army to the south, its intentions are not good, Your Majesty should use the mighty sky, send troops to rebel, in order to prevent future troubles. ”

Liu Ye hurriedly said: "No, Wu Shu has not been destroyed, and Xiao Wall is in trouble, it is not advisable." Your Majesty can reprimand the edict and blame him, and if the general of the Yue cavalry can repent, the country will be very fortunate......"

Sima Fu said coldly: "The army of the Yue cavalry generals is coming from afar, and they must have planned for a long time, and An can retreat with an edict?" Now Sun Liu is at odds, unable to look north, His Majesty is Yixing troops to crusade, if there is hesitation, the northern army will not go south, then Luoyang is in danger. ”

Cao Pi thought so, but said: "Ziwen has no edict to raise troops this time, and the reverse is clearly revealed, I can't tolerate the traitor, and today I summoned Qing and others to come, not to recruit surrender and rebellion, but to send troops to rebel." ”
