Theoretically, Liu Ye's suggestion is actually reasonable.

As far as Gongsun Yuan's virtue is concerned, now must be the time of arrogance and arrogance, and he will definitely not think that the imperial court will complete the mobilization of the northern expedition so quickly, and he will definitely be unprepared.

At this time, he suddenly sent troops to recruit Gongsun Yuan, and Gongsun Yuan was bound to be defeated if he was not well prepared.

And in that place in Liaodong, there are few people in the land, Gongsun Yuan can't afford to fail a few times, and the two forces that Gongsun Yuan cites as support, Xianbei people are just the first rats at both ends, although the power of Dongwu is okay, but it is too far away from Liaodong, and it is impossible to support Gongsun Yuan in time.

In other words, as long as Gongsun Yuan is defeated once, most of his power will collapse, and the rest is just some finishing touches, which is not difficult at all.

And to defeat Gongsun Yuan, a famous general in the court, there are people who can do this.

So, theoretically, Liu Ye's suggestion is correct. But this suggestion should not come out of Liu Ye's mouth.

If the representative of the Hebei family stood up and said this, Chen Qun would still have an understanding, but Liu Ye. Although Liu Ye is a member of the former dynasty, he is also an old minister of the three dynasties of the Great Wei.

Moreover, Liu Ye was born in Huainan and is a member of a proper Central Plains family, so there is no reason to speak from the perspective of a Hebei family.

You are not afraid that there will be some accidents in the middle, Si Li's side will be lost, with Sima Yi's ability, it is indeed impossible to lose Heluo in just a few months, but the problem is that if Si Li is disabled and scrapped, it will not be good for our Central Plains family.

The most important thing now is that it shouldn't be to keep the division?!

Chen Qun was so stunned that he didn't have time to think of a rebuttal. The Hebei families also stood up one after another and echoed Liu Ye's statement.

No matter what you Liu Ye thinks, but since you took the initiative to say what we want to say, it's polite or something, hurry up and keep up.

The war in the Sili area will affect the interests of your Central Plains family, and the war in Liaodong will not affect Hebei?!

The lesser of two evils. Dead friends don't die poor!!

Chen Qun was stunned, and was caught off guard by the Hebei family, and lost the opportunity to speak for a while.

And Cao Rong is also weighing the pros and cons and thinking about decisions that are in line with his own interests.

The Shu thief is indeed a big trouble, and Cao Rong still has a clear understanding of this, and there will be no idea of indistinguishing between the important and the severe.

But the problem is that Liu Ye is right.

In the past two years, Luoyang's financial power, military power, and personnel appointment and dismissal power have all been delegated to Sima Yi, the purpose is to let Sima Yi defend Luoyang for himself. Giving so many concessions is even equivalent to acquiescing in the embezzlement of the rights and interests of the Central Plains family in the imperial court, you Sima Yi can't even hold on for a few months, right?!

Yes, the Shu thieves are powerful, but now the total number of troops used by the Shu thieves in the Northern Expedition is only more than 70,000 people, which is not a little worse than the more than 200,000 troops in the last Northern Expedition.

And you Sima Yi also said in the recital that you have restored seventy percent of the combat strength of Si Li, and there are more than 70,000 combatable soldiers in total. You have equal troops, so you shouldn't be defeated, right?!

You, Sima Yi, are recognized by officials in the imperial court, and you are a general who knows soldiers and knows soldiers.

From this point of view, the Sili area can be delayed for a while, but Gongsun Yuan's side. Cao Rong really couldn't swallow this breath.

These days, what thing dares to ride on your head?!

If you don't use the momentum of thunder to quickly quell Gongsun Yuan's rebellion, where will Cao Rong's face go? !

can't beat Eastern Wu, it's understandable, after all, Emperor Taizuwu has said, "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", Sun Quan is a promising monarch in the end, and there are also famous generals like Zhou Yu and Lu Xun under his command, and they have the support of Jiangdong families.

can't defeat the Shu thief, and it's also said in the past, after all, whether it's Emperor Taizuwu or the first emperor, there are times when you can't kill the Shu thief. The first emperor reigned for six years, and even lost Guanzhong, and he only lost a Nanyang until now, which is really nothing.

But if Gongsun Yuan is allowed to sit on the throne and cause instability in the interior of the country, then this matter will be troublesome.

Cao Rong must prove to the world that Dawei is still the Dawei, even if he is trapped for a while, it is not a cat or a dog that can shake the rule of Dawei.

This is a question of the majesty of the imperial court, and it is also the basis of the rule of a political regime.

One more. Cao Rong looked at his uncle Cao Zhen.

This means to ask Cao Zhen if he is sure that he can quickly pacify Gongsun Yuan.

Cao Zhen stood up directly, and promised Cao Rong with his hand, "Please give your majesty two months with the minister, and the minister will break the grandson thief and behead him at the bottom of the steps." ”

Forget about others, Gongsun Yuan is such a thing, if Cao Zhen can't beat it, then it is better to disarm and return to the field directly.

Moreover, since the Son of Heaven asked himself so, he must give a positive answer Moreover, after losing the battle all these years, Cao Zhen also needs to have such an opportunity to prove his ability.

As soon as Cao Rong heard Cao Zhen say this, he immediately had the confidence to do it, and now he only has this clan uncle to rely on.

Xiahou Shang died of illness shortly after returning to Yecheng, in the middle of this year, Cao Xiu was sick in bed, and now it is good and bad, so you can't let such a person go into battle again, right?!

Among the clan generals, only Cao Zhen can still lead the troops to battle, Cao Rong doesn't rely on Cao Zhen, who does he rely on?!

A general with a foreign surname?!

It's really not that he Cao Yi is cautious, he can give Sima Yi such a big right, he is already very generous, but now how many generals with foreign surnames in the court have this ability and are loyal enough?!

Even Tian Yu, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, was defeated, and sent those who were not even as good as Tian Yu to conquer Gongsun Yuan, which was not to ask for thieves, but to deliver food.

Therefore, Cao Rong could only rely on Cao Zhen, and immediately issued an edict to let Cao Zhen set off at a certain time, go straight to Liaodong, and encircle and suppress Gongsun Yuan.

After the encirclement and suppression were completed, he immediately went south to support Sima Yi, who was fighting in Luoyang.

Cao Zhen led the troops, and after going down to the court, he just went home to pack up his clothes, and then settled in the military camp overnight.

Early the next morning, Cao Zhen directly led the troops to the battle.

It was not that Cao Zhen was in a hurry, but in order to have a surprise effect, Cao Zhen had to rush to Liaodong as soon as possible and launch an attack while Gongsun Yuan was careless, so that it was possible to defeat Gongsun Yuan and pacify the Liaodong Rebellion in the shortest possible time.

This is the so-called soldier noble speed. Cao Zhen just can't beat Zhang Xi, Zhuge Liang and others, it doesn't mean that he is really incapable.

But the problem is that less than ten days after Cao Zhen led his troops to the expedition, Sima Yi from Luoyang sent someone to send a report.

Pubanjin was lost, and Hongnong County surrendered to Luoyang without a fight.

Okay, Cao Rong directly copied his father and turned his back on the spot.

Finally, under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, Cao Rong woke up slowly, but he still couldn't swallow this breath, and despite the dissuasion of Chen Qun and others, he almost changed all the furniture in his palace!!

Now, Cao Rong is really anxious to get angry with your Sima Yi, Lao Tzu gave you such a big right and so much trust, but in less than a month, you let the Shu thieves beat Luoyang City?!

Actually, Chen Qun really wanted to remind Cao Rong that the Shu thieves had only captured Hongnong County, and had not yet reached Luoyang City. But what's the point?!

Even Chen Qun didn't expect that this Sima Yi would be so useless, and let the Shu thief get into Hongnong, the heart of Si Li, so easily.

So if I had listened to myself, no matter what Gongsun Yuan was, and went south directly to support Luoyang, the army would have almost reached the Yellow River by now.

Can. Now that Cao Zhen has led his troops to the boundary of Youzhou, he can't call people back anymore.

If you really want to call it back, that's child's play.

Therefore, Chen Qun could only find a way to comfort Cao Ei, and at the same time, persuade Cao Ei not to lose his coolness.

If even the Son of Heaven loses his composure, the people below don't know what to do.

Moreover, Sima Yi did not leave a back hand in Luoyang, he left Xin Bi and Sima Zhao in Luoyang to defend the city, and also left a reserve of 10,000 soldiers in Luoyang.

With the solidity of Luoyang City, if 10,000 soldiers hold on, it may not be impossible to hold it.

Again, according to the military newspaper, the Shu thieves entered Hongnong County through the Yellow River waterway after breaking through Pubanjin, and the number of troops was only about 10,000. This army may be able to play a surprise effect, but it is still a little difficult to capture Luoyang by relying on this army alone.

In addition, although Hongnong surrendered without a fight, Wang Chang of Tongguan still had 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and Hedong County was not lost. In addition, Sima Yi's main force has not been lost, if he can return to Luoyang in time to defend it, Si Li may not be lost.

At least for a short time, it may not be lost.

Well, saying this, Chen Qun himself has no confidence, after all, he is not on the front line of Sili, and all he can draw can be concluded by relying on military reports.

And the military report, not to mention the question of whether it is trustworthy or not, let's just say that the amount of information it contains is too small, and Chen Qun can't completely judge the whole picture of the battle of Sili.

After all, in the place where Si is subordinate, military warfare is one thing, and the exchange of political interests is another battlefield.

If it is only a defeat at the military level, then Si Li still has the possibility of holding on.

But if there is even a problem in terms of political interests, then the subordinate is really unable to hold on.

These things are not directly controlled by Chen Qun in Yecheng.

Now Chen Qun can only comfort the Son of Heaven Cao Rong while hoping that Sima Yi can stabilize the situation. Don't let the Son of Heaven down.
