Liu Ye was so angry in his heart.

The last time Dongwu was a minister, it was clearly because of its internal emptiness, and Xishu had just launched the battle of Nanzhong, which was the best time to conquer Jiangdong in the south.

At that time, you were asked to fight and you didn't fight, but now that the Western Shu soldiers are full of food, Jiangdong is afraid that its strength has also recovered, but you are determined to march south......

Liu Ye, who retreated into the team, didn't say anything, as soon as Cao Pi was afraid that he was angry at this time, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he could only turn around and go to Jia Xu, Sima Yi and other people who were closer to Cao Pi to discuss it to see if he could persuade him again.

Second...... He only felt that his brain was buzzing now, and he really didn't know what to say.

Sima Yi and others also think the same way, and now Cao Pi's state can't be persuaded at all, so it's better to discuss it privately.

The emperor has his own boundaries that he should not cross, and so do his courtiers, and it is always the emperor who makes the decision on things like this.

The courtiers can give opinions, but they can't make decisions for the emperor, which is also one of the rules of the game that everyone silently maintains.

Especially Cao Pi, who was already usurping power, was extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, after all, the Cao family is now powerful, and it is very dangerous to arouse Cao Pi's suspicion at this time.

Therefore, when Cao Pi made a decision on this matter, the ministers tacitly agreed not to say anything more, and turned to other things.

The establishment of a new country naturally requires many new measures and new atmosphere.

In general, Cao Pi still did some practical things, and many measures also have their own positive significance.

In addition to prohibiting the harem, eunuchs, and relatives from interfering in politics, he also took the opportunity of attacking his brother Cao Zhi to cut the power of the vassal king, so as not to cause chaos among the princes.

However, this set of combination punches down, the steps are a bit big, so that the hidden danger of being unable to prevent the foreign ministers from seizing power is buried......

In addition to this, the economy continued to develop Tuntian, and for severe inflation, Cao Pi directly ordered to encourage a return to the essence of trade - barter.

Grain and cloth were used as hard currency, and bartering was encouraged.

Although this method was simple and crude, it at least stabilized the chaotic social order in the north and gradually solved the inflation caused by the war.

It's better than continuing to over-issue inferior five-baht money.

At the same time, he advocated thrift among officials, and issued an edict prohibiting thick burials.

The policy of encouraging the resumption of production, removing bans, light tariffs, and relaxing criminal punishment policies has shown signs of gradual stabilization in various parts of the north.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Sima Yi found Cao Pi again.

"Your Majesty......"

It's just that this time, before Sima Yi could speak, Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "If Qing wants to persuade me not to attack Wu, then don't say it!" ”

Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Cao Pi to not even give him a chance to speak.

"Yizhou is blocked by heavy mountains, and it is not easy to get. If Jingzhou is attacked, Yizhou reinforcements will go down the river and rush to help very quickly. Jiangling City is strong, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou of Eastern Wu cannot be attacked for a long time, and it is not a good choice......

"Now that Sun Quan's pretended surrender has been seen through by Lonely, he is just using this to kill Wu. Now that the Sun-Liu alliance is broken, even if Liu Bei has the heart to help, he will no longer advance and retreat as he did when he was in Chibi......"

Cao Pi said a lot, although Van Wu had missed the best opportunity at the beginning, but Sima Yi at least knew that Cao Pi was not an impulsive decision made by a hot brain, he also had his own thoughts.

Cao Pi must also regret his decision to give Sun Quan the title of king, but as an emperor, he can't pull his face to admit it.

Sima Yi, who realized this, no longer looked so urgent, and his thoughts of persuading Cao Pi also faded.

Cao Pi finally stared into Sima Yi's eyes: "Zhongda, I also know that it is the safest policy for Tuntian to be guarded for more than ten years...... But I am the first emperor of this Great Wei! ”

"Minister, I will do my best to help Your Majesty cut down Wu!" Sima Yi respectfully saluted to the ground and expressed his position directly.

Needless to say, Sima Yi also understood everything.

Not tossing is indeed a kind of wisdom, but Cao Pi can't do it.

No matter how complete the formalities are, in the eyes of many people, his Cao family is still a thief of the country.

Unless he forces Liu Xie's position after pacifying the whole country, it may be much better.

But now that the matter has been done, he can only use his "performance" as an emperor as soon as possible to prove that he is the one to whom the destiny belongs.

Martial arts are indispensable.

This is also why as soon as he heard that Sun Quan had surrendered, he was still willing to give the other party a chance knowing that something was wrong, and even did not hesitate to crown Sun Quan as the king of Wei Wu, because the temptation was too great......

Because of this, he found out that he was being tricked, so he couldn't wait to kill Wu.

Sima Yi has already extracted the thoughts of the new emperor of the Great Wei from Cao Pi's words, and it is useless to persuade him, it is better to think about how to win the battle.

Cao Pi saw that Sima Yi was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and couldn't help but feel happy: "Hahaha, good! Those who know me, Sima Zhongda also. Let's go, and talk about Wu in detail with me. ”

After that, he walked with Sima Yi affectionately, talking and laughing while walking, but it was a good scene of a monarch and a minister......

……

In March, Xing Zhen was once again sent off as an envoy, and Sun Quan had already sensed the threat of war.

This time, the other party came, with a very different attitude from before, refusing all his rewards and putting on a posture of single-mindedness for the public.

Xing Zhen had a tough attitude and urged Sun Quan to send his son north as soon as possible, and not to make mistakes.

Between the words, there is a great sense of giving an ultimatum.

"I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to delay and perfunctory this time, judging from this Xing Zhen's attitude, maybe Cao Pi will take the opportunity to attack Wu." Sun Quan's expression was heavy and serious, but he couldn't say that he was flustered, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

After this period of recovery, Soochow's military strength has basically recovered.

Although the cost is a significant reduction in the quality of life of the people...... But at this time of life and death, how can you take care of this.

At least he still restrained the good people under his rule, and it was the mountains and mountains in his territory that were really plundered and oppressed by blood.

Now that the army has recovered, the grain and grass are more than enough to at least defend, and it is not enough to say how afraid Sun Quan is.

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan's gaze swept over him, and he opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but he finally swallowed it back.

He subconsciously wanted to "initiate surrender" just now, but the current situation is that he has already voted, but Sun Quan is unwilling to send his eldest son over.

If he persuaded Sun Quan not to resist, what was the difference between persuading him to kill his heir? He just wasn't optimistic about the war with Cao Wei, and it wasn't that he had a problem with his brain.

"Cao Pi's move does have the intention of persecution, if the king does not comply, he will inevitably wave his army to attack, and we need to prepare early." Gu Yongdao.

Sun Quan nodded: "Yuan Si has a good plan?" ”

"The minister thinks that in addition to actively preparing for war, the king also needs to invite one person out of the mountain to resolve the disaster in front of him."

"Oh? Who is Yuan Si talking about? Sun Quan's eyes lit up.

Gu Yong stretched out his hand and pointed out the hall: "Zhang Wen, Zhang Huishu." ”

"This ......" Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, and when he heard this name, he understood what Gu Yong meant.

If Cao Wei waved his army south to conquer Wu, then there would naturally be only one foreign aid they could find - Liu Bei.

But...... But he's aggrieved, so aggrieved.

Jingzhou and Nanzhong, two plans against Liu Bei were foiled, and now they have to sue for peace with their faces.

What's the difference between that and pumping your own face?

Do you want to invite Zhang Wen, who was sent home by himself?!

"King, Cao Wei Xinli, if you really attack Wu, it is inevitable to win as the first battle." Gu Yongzheng said, "The king must not miss a major event because of a momentary emotion. ”

Sun Quan's expression changed several times, and finally he took a deep breath and sighed.

"Lone knows. Come! ”

"In!"

Sun Quan couldn't see any unhappiness on his face at this time: "Bring a generous gift to Zhang's house, invite Mr. Zhang for the lonely general, don't slack off." ”

"Yes!"

Gu Yong smiled and arched his hand: "The king is wise, it is the blessing of my Dongwu." ”

For the sake of interests, he can always put down his personal emotions, honor and disgrace, which is what he admires most about King Wu.

Zhang Zhao's face was a little unpleasant, and he was very embarrassed by the junior last time.

But it is not a wise choice to openly contradict King Wu at this time.

He could see that although Sun Quan was reluctant, he had actually decided in his heart to join Liu Kangcao again......
