After Cao Pi sat down, Cao Pi's face showed a look of inquiry.

"Jia Gong, how is Wu Dehou?"

The Wudehou that Cao Pi was referring to was his eldest son, Cao Rong.

Hearing Cao Pi ask about his opinion of Cao Rong, Jia Xu opposite Cao Pi put on a groggy look, as if he couldn't hear Cao Pi's words.

But Cao Pi knew that Jia Xu was a human being, so he continued to speak: "Back then, Jia Gong helped me ascend the throne of the crown prince, so after I succeeded to the throne, I immediately worshiped Jia Gong as a lieutenant to show my gratitude. ”

"If Jia Gong can appoint three generations of kings for Great Wei today, I guarantee that the future kings of Great Wei will definitely take care of Jia Gong's descendants."

When he heard Cao Pi make such a promise, Jia Xu immediately opened his cloudy eyes and said to Cao Pi:

"Wu Dehou is talented and knowledgeable, and his achievements in the future will be limitless!"

Jia Xu's words made Cao Pi a little surprised, he didn't expect Cao Rong to be so highly rated in Jia Xu's heart.

It's just that he knows Jia Xu's intelligence, and of course he trusts Jia Xu's judgment.

After getting the answer he wanted, Cao Pi was speechless for a while.

Then he let Jia Xu leave.

And when Jia Xu got up and walked to the door tremblingly, Cao Pi's words suddenly reached Jia Xu's ears.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Yanlong to draw up an edict, and crown the Marquis of Pingyuan as the Duke of Qi, and worship the Duke of Jia as the Duke of Qi."

Cao Pi's words made Jia Xu's footsteps stop.

Although Jia Xu is old, in this silent hall, he heard Cao Pi's words very clearly.

But Jia Xu only hesitated for a moment, and then took heavy steps again.

Jia Xu understood the deep meaning of Cao Pi's words.

This is Cao Pi's new reward for him, and it is also a task given to him by Cao Pi.

Maybe it was the successive defeats that made this first-time son of heaven realize something.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Pi got up alone in the empty hall, his expression had returned to indifference.

Cao Pi rubbed his fingers against the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his sword was the Heavenly Sword that had followed Cao Cao for decades.

The Heavenly Sword followed Cao Cao for decades, and as Cao Cao's status and power continued to increase, the Heavenly Sword was gradually regarded as a symbol of Cao Cao.

In Cao Cao's later years, he once taught his sons at a banquet, and the question of the exam was based on the word "Yitian" in his sword, expressing his own aspirations.

At that time, the ministers were also present, and among Cao Cao's sons, two of them were the most gratifying.

Cao Pi, who was still the prince of Wei at the time, replied: "The long sword Geng Geng leans on the sky, and he is willing to use the square land as the car and the round sky as the cover, and hold the sword to crusade against the Quartet." ”

Although Cao Pi's answer at that time was already amazing, Cao Zhi's answer, which was better than Cao Pi's style, was even more amazing.

"Annexing the four provinces, drinking the dry rivers and seas; Trekking over Kyushu, there is no place for it;

Zhi Da Si Sai, sorrow can not be long. Leaning on the sky in hand, the whole world worships. ”

Cao Pi still can't forget the satisfaction and appreciation in Cao Cao's eyes after hearing Cao Zhi's answer.

He knew that he had never been the ideal heir to Cao Cao's mind.

Because he knew this, after he succeeded to the throne, he always wanted to prove that he was the best among the sons of Emperor Wu of Wei by establishing great achievements.

But the two defeats undoubtedly made him realize something, and at the same time made his mental strength even more exhausted.

Cao Pi's fingers rubbed against the hilt of the Heavenly Sword faster and faster, and Cao Pi, who was in deep thought in the past, seemed to see the majestic figure standing in front of him, showing disappointment on his face.

Is the Heavenly Sword entrusted to a non-human?

If Cao Pi had this kind of hallucination in the past, he would have panicked because of the fear of Cao Cao in his heart, but now that Cao Pi has become the Son of Heaven, his mentality has changed a lot.

His reverence for Cao Cao had faded, replaced by an urge to prove himself more and more.

In the end, Cao Pi just said firmly in his heart:

Father, the clan is no longer useful.

Next, the son will follow his own ideas and lead Da Wei to a new path.

Now he, Cao Pi, is the helmsman of Dawei!

...

After claiming to be the emperor and founding the country, Cao Pi, who suffered two defeats in a row, attached great importance to Zhang Liao's expedition.

Because of the importance, Cao Pi could not hesitate to hand over the command of the 30,000 Chinese army to Zhang Liao.

Because of the importance of it, on the day of Zhang Liao's expedition, Cao Pi, who was the Son of Heaven, personally came to Wancheng to see him off.

Before Zhang Liao led the army to leave, Cao Pi held his hand tightly many times, and also gave Zhang Liao imperial clothes in public, constantly exerting favor on Zhang Liao.

The current Great Wei needs a victory too much.

Even if it is impossible to win, as long as Zhang Liao's reinforcements can respond from the side, so that Guan Yu cannot take Fancheng, then such a result will still be beneficial to Great Wei.

Therefore, the current Cao Pi can be said to be responsive to Zhang Liao's needs.

And Zhang Liao faced Cao Pi's favor to him, and naturally showed gratitude.

After all, although Cao Cao also valued his talent when he was alive, he had never been so kind to him.

As for why Cao Pi was so favored to him, the intelligent Zhang Liao certainly knew it, so Cao Pi's performance undoubtedly increased his attention to the next journey.

And when the time for the expedition had arrived, Cao Pi let Zhang Liao leave with great expectations.

As Zhang Liao led the army farther and farther away from Wancheng, Cao Pi's gaze gradually became sudden.

If the destiny of heaven is in Dawei, I hope that God will help Dawei again in this battle.

Cao Pi, who had never believed in ghosts and gods in the past, has become more and more superstitious since he usurped the Han Dynasty and became emperor.

And when Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of troops completely disappeared on the horizon, several messengers quickly left Wancheng and headed for Yizhou.

...

Tens of thousands of infantry troops did not move as quickly as cavalry troops, so when Zhang Liao led tens of thousands of Cao Wei's troops south, there were spies from the Han army who found out the news for the first time.

They then quickly went south and reported the news to Guan Yu outside Fancheng.

And when Guan Yu learned the news, Rao was not excited about the big victory before, but at this time, he clapped his palms excitedly in the big tent.

It's a big deal.

Everything was as he expected, in addition to the rout of tens of thousands of Wei cavalry, Cao Pi would definitely send the backbone of Great Wei to support Fancheng again.

The foreign army in Nanyang has been defeated in the previous battle of Xicheng and has not yet recovered.

【Mi Han】 【】

As for the state and county soldiers and Tuntian soldiers, it is okay to defend the city, but if you want to rely on them to resist the Han army, which is currently full of morale, it will be a little unrealistic.

The backbone that Cao Pi can use at present is, of course, the only one that Cao Wei has always been proud of is the Great Wei Central Army.

Although it can be known from the intelligence that the Cao Wei Chinese army brought by Zhang Liao this time is no more than 30,000, and there is still a big gap between the number of Cao Wei and the overall Cao Wei Chinese army, this has already made Guan Yu excited.

It's just that why would Guan Yu be excited about Zhang Liao leading his army south, instead of feeling tricky?

It was because all of Guan Yu's previous actions were to lure Cao Wei's Chinese army south.

And as long as Cao Wei's army goes south, no matter who the general is, Guan Yu will not feel tricky.

The moment he learned that Cao Pi personally went south, Guan Yu found out that most of the tens of thousands of troops led by Cao Pi this time were Cao Wei's central army.

After knowing the news, a plan appeared in Guan Yu's heart.

This plan is that he wants to try his best to eat the tens of thousands of Cao Wei Zhongjun brought by Cao Pi.

As early as the moment Liu Bei took Yizhou, the entire Liu Bei group was preparing for the Northern Expedition.

Among the generals under Liu Bei, everyone had different ideas about the strategy of the Northern Expedition.

Some people said that they should seize strategic points as much as possible and gradually encroach on Cao Wei's territory.

Some people proposed that the main direction of the Northern Expedition should be placed in Jingzhou, and various ideas were different.

But Guan Yu had his own idea, that is, instead of seizing land, it was better to kill Cao Wei's living force as much as possible.

Because in Guan Yu's opinion, Cao Wei's area is too vast.

What is the use of using all of your national strength to capture one or two cities, even if those one or two cities are strategically important?

Take today's Fancheng as an example, after taking Fancheng, there are more than 30 large and small cities in Nanyang County.

The geographical location of Fancheng is very crucial.

However, the reason why Fancheng can become a bridgehead to resist the Han army is because Cao Wei used the national strength of the entire Nanyang County to build a complete defense system with Fancheng as a bridgehead.

One Fancheng is not enough to withstand the pace of tens of thousands of Han troops, and it is this perfect defense system that makes tens of thousands of Han troops dare not directly cross Fancheng and go deep into Nanyang County.

Taking Fancheng can certainly destroy this defense system, but with Cao Wei's national strength, they can choose another city as the new "Fancheng" in a short period of time, and then rebuild a complete defense system.

Even with Cao Wei's national strength, they can build a new city out of thin air.

The key to Nanyang lies in Wancheng, and in front of Wancheng, there are many cities, do you have to uproot those cities to hit Wancheng?

The amount of grain, grass, troops, and time spent was astronomical, and most importantly, a county like Nanyang, Cao Wei had a lot.

In such a situation, it is not feasible to just think about attacking the city and occupying strategic points.

The best way is to kill and wound as much as possible the foreign and Chinese troops that Cao Wei shocked the enemy.

Once Cao Wei completely loses these two powerful weapons in the world, then after a long time, there will definitely be drastic changes in the north.

【Mi Han】 【】

At that time, the probability of victory in the Northern Expedition of the Great Han will be greatly increased!

This method will not consume too much national strength for oneself, and can cause maximum damage to the enemy for them, which is a necessary strategy for defeating the strong with the weak.

Guan Yu's strategic idea did not come out of thin air, but was slowly formed by his experience over the years he had been in the army.

Therefore, during the Battle of Xiangfan last year, from the perspective of the art of war, Guan Yu should not have ventured across the Han River to attack Fancheng if Xiangyang was not taken.

Because of the blockage of the Han River, the reinforcements from the north could not rescue Xiangyang, and Guan Yu could calmly capture Xiangyang.

And if the troops are divided and then go to capture Fancheng, so that Guan Yu's back road has Xiangyang, there is undoubtedly a certain risk.

Many people think that Guan Yu is eager to win and wants Cao Ren's head, but thinking like that undoubtedly thinks too shallowly of Guan Yu, an excellent commander.

At that time, Guan Yu's real purpose was to surround Fan and send reinforcements!

Regarding this strategic idea, Guan Yu has also discussed it privately with Mi Yang, and Guan Yu's strategy undoubtedly coincides with Mi Yang's inner thoughts.

Guan Yu's strategic thinking is to use a sentence of later generations to say: the land is lost, and the people and the land are lost; If you save people and lose land, you will gain all people.

Among them, the people are specifically the living forces of the enemy.

And Mi Yang, who is a traverser, also knows that not only does he have similar views to Guan Yu, but Zhuge Liang after the completion of tactics and strategy in history is also the successor of Guan Yu's strategic ideas.

Historically, when Zhuge Liang began his Northern Expedition, the obvious strategic policy was to seize Longxi.

He mainly occupied territory, so he deliberately took advantage of Cao Wei's empty army in Longxi to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

But later, under the successive setbacks, Zhuge Liang immediately adjusted the corresponding strategy.

After that, the direction of his northern expedition was to Cao Wei's heart in the Yongliang area, and his purpose was to take the initiative to lure Cao Wei's Chinese army in Chang'an to fight with him in the field, so as to consume Cao Wei's vital force to the greatest extent.

Even during the last Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang didn't even go to Longxi, and directly camped the camp at the gate of Chang'an, forcing Sima Yi to come out and fight him.

It can be said that if Ji Han wants to really defeat Cao Wei, he must not gnaw at the city head one by one, but according to the strategic concept of Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang in the later period.

This may not be effective for a few years, or even a decade, but in a decade or so, the situation is likely to be reversed.

And it was precisely because Guan Yu and Mi Yang, the son-in-law, had discussed privately, so for a period of time after Guan Yu sent out the army, Mi Yang's actions had been a little silent.

Because Guan Yu and Mi Yang's plan was to do everything possible to attract Cao Wei's Chinese army to a decisive battle outside Fancheng.

Compared with Wudang, the terrain outside Fancheng is conducive to a decisive battle between large corps.

That's why Guan Yu besieged Fancheng but did not attack, and Mi Yang used the memories of later generations to let Guan Yu reappear in the Moon Formation.

At the beginning, Guan Yu and Mi Yang, the son-in-law of Weng, planned to eat Cao Wei's tens of thousands of Chinese troops.

Now seeing the development of the situation step by step towards his and Mi Yang's vision, Guan Yu will of course feel happy.

【Mi Han】 【】

After realizing that Zhang Liao's army was about to arrive in the near future, Guan Yu immediately sat down to write a letter.

His letter was addressed to Mi Yang, and the content was to ask Mi Yang to immediately lead a large army south to join him.

may be because he was a little emotional, so Guan Yu covered his head again when he wrote the letter.

It was during this period of time that the headache that tortured Guan Yu was committed again.

And at this time, in the big tent, in addition to Guan Yu, there was also a doctor who accompanied Guan Yu.

This doctor's name is Fan A, and he is a senior disciple of Hua Tuo, a famous Chinese doctor at that time.

Among Hua Tuo's disciples, Fan A is good at acupuncture and surgery, and it was Fan A who scraped Guan Yu's bones to heal his wounds.

After all, during the Three Kingdoms period, even if Guan Yu dared to ask the doctor to scrape his bones, except for Hua Tuo, who had the confidence to perform this kind of surgery, I am afraid that only Hua Tuo's apprentices were the only ones.

In order to treat the arrow wound, Guan Yu visited famous doctors everywhere, and Fan A was practicing medicine in the Xiangfan area at that time, and after hearing Guan Yu's search, he took the initiative to come to Guan Yu to treat him.

Later, Guan Yu's self-sufficiency not only convinced his subordinates, but also made Fan A admire the five-body throw, and since then Fan A has been willing to stay by Guan Yu's side as a personal medical officer.

After Fan A saw that Guan Yu had a headache again, he immediately got up and came behind Guan Yu, took out the silver needle on his body and pierced the acupuncture points on Guan Yu's head.

Under Fan A's acupuncture, Guan Yu's headache gradually eased.

And after seeing that Guan Yu no longer had a headache, Fan A, who stopped administering the needle, saw that Guan Yu began to write a letter again after the headache was slightly relieved, and he couldn't help but persuade:

"The general has a stubborn illness in his head, so he should recuperate well, and he shouldn't spend his mind anymore."

Similar words, Fan A persuaded Guan Yu many times.

But Guan Yu's reaction today was the same as in the past, and he didn't care.

Seeing Guan Yu's reaction, Fan A could only sigh helplessly.

Guan Yu quickly finished writing the letter to Mi Yang, and then immediately summoned a personal guard and asked him to deliver the letter to Mi Yang's hands as soon as possible.

After the guard left, Guan Yu leaned on the soft table beside him and closed his eyes to rest.

If he didn't know about his physical condition before, but under the more frequent headaches recently, he had already found Fan A to understand everything.

It is precisely because of his understanding that he will let Fan A stay by his side all this time.

Under Fan A's diagnosis, he came to the conclusion that the reason why he had frequent headaches recently was because he had not recuperated from the arrow wound on his forehead, which left the root of the disease.

But the situation was as it is now.

The city defense of Fancheng was strong, and the enemy's two generals, Yu Ban and Pang De, led tens of thousands of Wei troops to eye.

And their own army depends on their own alone to fight against the enemy without falling behind in the case of inferior troops.

In that case, what time and mind would he have to rest?

After understanding the root cause of Guan Yu's disease, Fan A gave Guan Yu a suggestion: "The brain disease is difficult to cure, and the general has not recuperated before, and now it has become a stubborn disease."

If a general can give up his military duties, rest his mind and rest assured, he may be able to prolong his life. ”

After Fan A said this, he also told Guan Yu many times not to waste his mind, otherwise it would aggravate his symptoms.

【Mi Han】 【】

But at that time, Guan Yu couldn't help laughing after listening to Fan A's words.

Maybe Fan A is completely thinking about himself from the perspective of a doctor, but how can he be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?

Just like Fan A's early warning when he scraped his bones to heal his wounds, at that time, he still resolutely chose to let Fan A go under the knife for the sake of military affairs.

Similarly, Guan Yu is now making this choice.

Guan Yu knows that in today's world, if Fan Adu can't cure his brain disease, then even if he listens to Fan A's words and lives and recuperates, I'm afraid that what will be left in the world is no longer a general Guan Da with a sword, but a great Han father who lingers on the sickbed.

But how could Guan Yu want to be like the latter?

Now Guan Yu closed his eyes, all he was thinking about was how to eat the tens of thousands of Cao Wei Zhongjun in the coming day, and he didn't worry about his life at all.

The terrain outside Fancheng was constantly reproduced in Guan Yu's mind, and everything that might have been deduced from the battle of the Japanese army in the coming day was deduced under Guan Yu's imagination.

After a long period of contemplation, Guan Yu, who felt a little tired, opened his eyes and looked at the map on the table in front of him.

He stretched out his calloused hand and stroked it towards the location of Fancheng on the map.

Last year, because of the safety of Jingzhou, he abandoned Fancheng and had no choice but to retreat to the south bank.

But this year, he will definitely not retire!
