In general, Ji Han still followed the plan of Longzhong back then, and opened up two fronts in Jingyi.

However, due to the God-given opportunity caused by Cao Pi's attack on Wu, it was possible for Liu Chan to further expand the Yizhou front.

At present, it seems that the development of the situation is still in his expectation.

Since Cao Pi gathered a large army to attack Wu, it was basically destined to belong to Longyou.

The difference is only how far the gains can be magnified in the end.

For this point, Cao Wei has so many ministers, no one can foresee this situation in advance?

Of course not, but the courtiers who foresaw this, either for the sake of Mingzhe's self-preservation, or because of their own and family interests, did not form a joint force to prevent Cao Pi from making this decision.

When they put the interests of the family first, it is difficult to think about the overall situation in everything.

The reason why Liu Chan wanted to do everything possible to prevent the local families and powerful forces from becoming bigger was to limit the intensification of this phenomenon in the future Ji and Han dynasties.

In order to stifle Zang Ba and the Qingxu Group, the biggest unstable factor, Cao Pi could rashly launch a war against Wu, and even secretly instructed Cao Xiu to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Zang Ba.

And his courtiers also considered for their own and family interests, or acquiesced in connivance, or contributed to the occurrence of this situation.

It can really be described as a model of "gentlemen and ministers......

Of course, not all smart people are mindful of the big picture.

The Great Wei Qi Gong, who was far behind Cao Wei, became worried about the current situation, but he was helpless.

Qi Gong, surnamed Cao Ming, the character Yuan Zhong.

It is the son of Cao Pi and Zhen Mi, the successor of the Cao family who was the most important in Boss Cao's lifetime, and even values this grandson more than Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to some extent.

In this era of attaching great importance to appearance, Cao Rong, who inherited Zhen Mi's handsome beauty and the Cao family's heroic martial arts, is naturally very capable of fighting.

However, unlike Lao Liu, who couldn't wait to establish Liu Chan as the crown prince after he ascended the throne, Cao Pi always seemed to have something to do after he ascended the throne, and he had no intention of establishing a prince at all.

For example, cracking down on dissidents, hunting out of the city, making laws and cutting feudal domains, hunting out of the city, formulating new policies, and hunting out of the city......

Regarding his father's thoughts, with Cao Ei's shrewdness, it is naturally clear that his father has never liked him, and even if he shows more talent, he can't get Cao Pi's love.

Compared with Cao Rong, who performed well in military, politics, literature and other aspects, Cao Pi seemed to prefer his mediocre brother.

Cao Ei can only be low-key, low-key, and low-key, trying not to arouse his father's suspicion.

Regarding this major event related to the fortunes of the country, Cao Rong was not only not qualified to enter the court to express his opinions in a grand manner like Liu Chan, but also had nothing to say to the officials in his own palace.

Cao Rong poured a sip of wine in the empty room, and silently said to himself on the map in front of him: "The anger of a soldier in Jingzhou in Eastern Wu has been discharged, and my father's attack on the south at this time will only push Sun Quan to Liu Bei......

Then he looked at the Yangtze River again, and his fingers slowly slid along the Yangtze River.

"Soochow has been operating the Yangtze River defense line for many years, and it is not easy to break through it once it is ...... I'm afraid that my father is not only eager to show his martial arts, but also to take the opportunity to solve Qingxu's trouble."

Cao Rong poured another sip of wine, and casually wiped the wine on the side of his mouth with his sleeve, which was very different from his solemn and low-key image in front of people, and looked a little uninhibited.

"To make a big move against Eastern Wu, Liu Bei will definitely take the opportunity to go on a northern expedition, there is still a Xiongguan to defend in Guanzhong, and Guan Yu in Jingzhou will attack Xiangfan again this time...... Without the sneak attack of Dongwu, I am afraid that Cao Zixiao will be difficult to resist again."

If it can't be stopped, the father can only transfer troops from the eastern front to resist, and the plan to mobilize and pull the defenders of Eastern Wu with the advantage of troops will become a joke.

Cao Rong shook his head, and then looked all the way to the west, crossed the pass, and looked at Yongliang.

"Although the western region is empty, the land is barren, the grain, grass and population are insufficient, and the Qiangqi Hu people often rebel and harass them, so in common sense, it is not a good choice for Liu Bei's Northern Expedition. It's just ......."

At this moment, Cao Rong thought of the enemy prince who was three years younger than him.

Since the Battle of Jingzhou, he has noticed his peers in this enemy camp.

After carefully studying what Liu Chan did before, during, and after the war in Jingzhou, Cao Rong was amazed at the same time, and also introduced the young man he had never met as his biggest opponent.

Since then, he has tried his best to collect all the information about Liu Chan, no matter how small it is.

It can be said that Cao Ei is the person who attaches the most importance to and understands Liu Chan in the entire Cao Wei.

"It's just that kid, but he rarely makes moves according to common sense."

Although Cao Rong did not go to the court, he was well aware of the discussion of the current situation by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Almost no one in the DPRK and China discussed the countermeasures of Yongliang to deal with Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, which was not a good thing.

Cao Rong focused his gaze on the west, and his fingers rhythmically pointed at the Hanzhong Basin.

"That guy treats his soldiers so well that he won't let the soldiers force the storm and bleed a river. Is it possible for him to propose to feint the attack and point the sword at Yongliang?"

Cao Rong almost didn't hesitate, and his mind was immediately inclined to this speculation.

"There are only more than 1,000 personal soldiers, and among them, there are cavalry accounting for one, which shows the importance he attaches to cavalry. Yongliang is rich in good horses, and he is not completely unattractive to him."

And there is also Ma Chao, if Ma Chao guards Yongliang, it seems that the Qianghu problem can also be effectively solved.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he began to simulate the plan of attacking Yongliang in his heart.

"First take the Wudu Yinping, the troops will go out of Qishan, take Xixian County to cut off the connection between Qishan Fort and Shangqi. Knowing that Liu Bei is on a large Northern Expedition, Guo Huai will definitely want to play a pivotal role and shrink in advance and retreat."

Cao Rong's eyes were shining, and the wine cup in his left hand forgot to put it in his mouth, and his right finger pointed.

"Take Ji County, nail the Shangqi defenders to Shangqi, and then either storm Qishan Fort, or enter Shangqi City, then half of the overall situation in Longxi will be controlled.

"There are few loyal generals in the counties of Longyou, and if you see the northern expedition of the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold it for a long time. At that time, the rest of the places will not be climatized...... If you want to take down Longyou, you only need ......."

Cao Rong's fingers circled for a moment, and then his eyes flashed, and he pointed at the only way for reinforcements in Guanzhong - the right entrance of Guanlong Avenue, Street Pavilion!

At this moment, the waiter's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lord, there is an important report from the court." ”

Cao Rong raised his head sharply.

Could it be that it was already called so soon?

If it is true, if resources can be mobilized and troops can be dispatched decisively in such a short period of time, then the efficiency of Liu Han's court and the efficiency of personnel and material mobilization are really terrifying......

Cao Rong put away the map: "Come in." ”

Then a young scribe came in, respectfully reported the main "news" in the court to Cao Rong, and then bowed down and retreated without waiting for Cao Rong to say anything.

There are three pieces of news that reached Cao Wei's court.

His Majesty's army was held by the enemy at Maosu, and Cao Xiu's troops and Eastern Wu won and lost each other, but they were still unable to break through the Yangtze River defense line for the time being.

Although the first news is related to His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, it is also expected that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, and the last two news are the main reasons for the shock of the Cao Wei court.

Guan Yu's northern expedition to Xiangfan, the blockade of the water, Xiangyang was in an emergency, and Cao Ren was preparing for war in Jiangbei.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led the army north out of Hanzhong and began to attack Guanzhong fiercely!

Cao Wei's ministers were shocked and frightened when they heard the news.

Not everyone has a strategic vision, and in the past two years, Cao Wei's record against Liu Bei is really not good-looking.

Of course, people of insight such as Jia Xu, Xin Bi, Liu Ye and others were not surprised, this was expected.

Cao Rong, who heard the news, sighed secretly, if what he expected was good, I was afraid that the bad news of Yongliang would come over soon......

This war was a mistake from the start.

If he had the status of Liu Chan, he could still be remedied, but now he ......

"Alas......" Cao Rong sighed, pulled a piece of cloth, and prepared to repair the book.

Whether it succeeds or not, you must take a risk, even if it arouses the jealousy of your father, you can't watch the Cao family lose your country.

……

The Duke of Great Wei Qi is busy with big things, and the King of Han Han, who is still young but has been entrusted with the task of supervising the country, is also busy with big things at this time.

"Bring the king's cinnabar forehead! Today's weather is just right, just a fight. ”

Summer is hot, but it's a good time to fight......
