As early as July, Cao Pi adopted Sima Yi's tired plan and began to lay out the Shu Han.

First of all, through the relationship of the Guanzhong family who moved inward, he contacted Liangzhou Hu Wang Zhiyuanduo, and used gold, silver and jewelry to allow it to be attached as a condition, saying that Dongzhiyuan sent troops to attack Liangzhou.

There is one thing to say, Cao Wei's trick is actually quite stupid, and these things can't be eaten, drunk, or even legal tender, so they want to buy King Hu of Liangzhou to sell their lives.

As for the condition of attaching it, it is indeed a little attractive to the surrounding alien races at this time, but now that Cao Wei is not even in Guanzhong, where is there a place to place the many departments of Hu Wang Zhiyuan in Liangzhou? !

It's just the rhetoric of a white wolf with empty gloves.

But the problem is that the Hu people in these years, after two Han Dynasty and four hundred years of suppression, are really in a bad situation.

Even if the Hu people in these years are relatively "upright", but they can achieve the position of King Hu, and the IQ and political skills of Zhiyuan Duo are not low, even if they are not as "insidious and cunning" as the Central Plains people, but the basic political literacy that should be there is still no shortage of Zhiyuan.

The conditions given by the Han people do seem a bit unrealistic, but for Zhi Yuanduo, it is really impossible for him to ask for more.

It is true that these things cannot be eaten or drunk, and they are not even legal tender, but this does not prevent these things from bringing the food that their tribe needs to Zhiyuanduo.

To the north of Liangzhou, is the famous Silk Road, although the countries of the Western Regions are not big, but there are always some countries rich in grain, and in these countries, luxury goods from the Central Plains are hard currency.

Often a pearl can be exchanged for a thousand catties of grain.

Another one, the guards and officials in various parts of the Han border pass, if they take money and bribe, if they are caught, it is a dead word, but if it is gold, silver and jewelry, at least in terms of officials, it cannot be regarded as a crime.

As the leader of a large clan, Zhi Yuanduo still has these visions.

And the attached condition is also what Zhiyuanduo needs most now.

The alien races of the Han Dynasty and even the Three Kingdoms period did not have a good time.

Since Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty chiseled through the Western Regions, that is, the Qiang people were once prominent in the Liangzhou area, and the other tribes were all beaten on the ground by the Han people.

It's not easy to have a different race.

Today's alien race, the biggest hope is to be like the Southern Xiongnu, the whole clan is attached, so that they can live a good life.

But the problem is that not everyone can enjoy this qualification.

The Southern Xiongnu were attached to the Later Han Dynasty in order to contain the Northern Xiongnu tribes, after all, the Xiongnu were the number one enemy of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty would not allow the Xiongnu to turn over again.

But if other tribes want to attach it, it's not so easy.

Just look at the former Wu Huan, when he showed off his might on the border, he was prominent for a while, but as a result, Emperor Wu of Wei went north, and his backbone was broken in the first battle, and he has not eased his breath until now, and has been in a state of fragmentation.

In today's northern grasslands of Cao Wei, there is a big power vacuum, and the tribal leaders who have a little vision want to migrate to that place, and the most resolute person is Bu Dugen, the leader of the Xianbei people.

This person passed Cao Wei's Wuhuan captain Yan Rou, mixed with the qualification of a tribute, and now the Ju clan has migrated to the territory of the original Wuhuan people, and the development is quite good.

And now, Zhiyuan has obtained the qualification of attached, which is more reasonable and legal than tribute, and after the end of this army, regardless of victory or defeat, he will lead his troops to migrate to the north of Cao Wei together.

It is much easier to grab territory with the Xianbei and Wuhuan people than with the Qiang people who have been entrenched here for more than a hundred years, as well as those Han people who are brave and good at fighting.

The two sides can be said to take what they need, so Zhi Yuanduo agreed to Cao Wei's request and began to mobilize troops and horses to prepare for a fight on the border of Liangzhou.

It's not really that he wants to play with the Han people in Liangzhou, Zhi Yuan knows more about the little combat power he has at hand, and if he goes to fight the Han people, there is a high probability that he will not be able to get benefits.

It's just pretending to be and putting on a posture. If you can get some benefits from the Han people in Liangzhou, it would be the best, if not, then move to the north of Cao Wei to survive.

Of course, Zhi Yuanduo is not a fool, he knows that he must be cautious when doing this in Liangzhou.

Therefore, he did not even have contact with the strongest Qiang forces in the local area, and simply planned to rely on the strength of his own tribe to do this.

Just kidding, those Qiang people are the most untrustworthy race.

Don't look at them now being regarded as aliens by the Han people, but the Han people themselves admit that the Qiang people were the same ancestors as the Han people in ancient times, and they, the outsiders, were the alien races.

In addition, now the Qiang people's "Shenweitian General" is an official in Qinzhou, which is newly demarcated by the Han people, and the Qiang people are migrating there.

And this is also why Ma Chao did not receive the news, but Zhao Yun and Pang De found something different.

But no matter what, as long as Zhi Yuan Duo agrees to raise troops to attack Liangzhou, then no matter whether he is acting or really attacking, it will be the same for the Great Wei court.

As long as it can attract the attention and strength of the Shu thieves to the northwest region, and empty the possible northwest reinforcements of Yongzhou, it is enough.

And the second way. Cao Pi sent envoys led by Jiang Ji to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to send troops to attack Jingzhou.

This road of military horses, in fact, is difficult.

Regardless of what Han and Wu had in mind, at least on the surface, the two were allies.

It's nothing to sneak attack the alliance, but if it doesn't succeed, the infamy that the party that betrays the alliance will bear will be great.

Sun Quan has already memorized it once, and he has accompanied a Jiangxia County for this purpose, and in the subsequent exchanges with Liu Bei Group, Sun Quan's side has always been the weak party, and he will be taken out by the envoys of Liu Bei Group at every turn.

Of course, Sun Quan nested the fire, but the problem was, who let him steal the chicken and didn't succeed, and the nest fire could only be held.

Now if you want to say that Sun Quan took the initiative to betray the alliance to attack Jingzhou, it would not be so simple.

But Jiang Ji is Jiang Ji after all, as a wise man in the middle and late Cao Wei, the only person who can break his wrists with Sima Yi, and he naturally has his own set of methods and rhetoric.

After Jiang Ji arrived in Eastern Wu, although he met Sun Quan for the first time, he did not take the initiative to mention the joint attack on Shu, but just took the work of an ordinary envoy, nominally to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

But privately, Jiang Ji visited the mansions of Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Sun Shao, and Sun Sheng, and through these people, he conveyed the true purpose of his mission.

Among these four people, Zhang Zhao is currently the oldest veteran minister in Eastern Wu, and he is also an old minister who has never been very interested in the Sun-Liu Alliance.

And Gu Yong is Sun Quan's most important minister at present, and he is obviously ready to let Gu Yong take over Zhang Zhao's position in the future.

As for Sun Shao and Sun Sheng, they are the clan generals of Eastern Wu, and they are also Sun Quan's henchmen who single-handedly pulled out to control the military power.

Through these four people, Jiang Ji expounded a truth - now Shu Han has occupied the four states of the world, and the military peak is flourishing, once Cao Wei can't withstand Shu Han's attack, then Jiangdong, which is in a corner of peace, can really be the opponent of Shu Han like a wolf and a tiger? !

Don't look at the fact that Jiangdong also occupies Huainan and Qingxu now, but in the last war, even if Jiangdong used a sneak attack, it only took half of Xiapi County, and Shuhan captured Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

Even if the Han-Wu alliance continued to be maintained, they would attack Cao Wei's Central Plains region from the east and west. How much territory can you Jiangdong snatch from Shu Han?!

Okay, even if the Shu Han really treats you as an ally and gives you half of the Central Plains, the problem is . What are you going to do next?!

Once Shu Han occupied the Central Plains, it was equivalent to occupying half of China. At that time, it was Shu who was strong and Wu Wei who was weak.

Do you want to continue to maintain the alliance and learn from Qi Wangjian to wait for death, or do you want to unite with Great Wei and fight against Shu together?!

If you want to wait for death, then when I Jiang Jibai comes.

But if you want to unite with the Great Wei, why do you have to wait until Shu Han connects all the territory and the power grows?!

Isn't this the best chance now?!

Taking advantage of Liu Bei's death, the new monarch succeeding to the throne, the power is not solid, and the internal contradictions are numerous, wouldn't it be beautiful to take Jingzhou in a war? !

Moreover, in Jingzhou today, Guan Yu is seriously injured and recuperating, and he cannot be a director in the short term, although Wang Ji has outstanding ability, his qualifications are still shallow, and he is not enough to convince the public, and there will inevitably be contradictions with an old faction like Xu Shu.

In addition, Cao Wei in the north can send Sima Yi and Wang Ling soldiers and horses to Wancheng and Xuchang to threaten Xiangyang and attract the main force of the Jingzhou army, so isn't it the best time for Eastern Wu to attack Jingzhou?!

Jiang Ji's words really moved Gu Yong, Sun Sheng, Sun Shao and others, and Zhang Zhao is not really the French strategist who will have bad ideas in Romance.

The person who can take on the heavy responsibility of Sun Cetuo can be the kind of person who does not understand military strategy.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhou Yu, the person who led the troops to the funeral at the beginning might not have been able to take away half of the decision-making power from Zhang Zhao. Zhou Yu has the qualifications to suppress Zhang Zhao, which does not mean that others can also fool Zhang Zhao casually.

When Sun Quan called Zhang Zhao "Zhang Gong", was it out of respect for Zhang Zhao's age? !

Zhang Zhao had already found the biggest loophole from Jiang Ji's words - everything was Jiang Ji talking to himself, and it had no practical significance.

Jiang Ji thought that after Liu Bei's death, the Jingzhou army would fall into the internal struggle between the Wang Ji faction and the Guan Yu faction, which was purely Jiang Ji's self-imagination, and Zhang Zhao could not predict what Jingzhou would become.

Jiang Ji claimed that Cao Wei would launch an attack on Xiangyang in both directions of Wancheng and Xuchang in response to Jiangdong's backstab. But if you don't send troops, or just send troops to pretend to be, it's not impossible to trap us.

Again, there is the difficult bastard Wenpin guarding Jiangxia, and Jiangdong wants to bypass Jiangxia's surveillance to sneak attack Nanjun, which is much more difficult than Lü Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou.

This is a plan that only exists in Jiang Ji's mind, or to put it bluntly, it is to pit Dongwu and provoke the drama of infighting between Dongwu and Shu Han.

Zhang Zhao actually saw it very clearly, but Zhang Zhao did not refuse Jiang Ji.

Because of one thing, Jiang Ji is actually right - Shu Han can't be allowed to continue to sit big.
