"The news from Runan County is here?"

Shouchun City.

The backyard of the government.

In the room, Cao Pi was dressed thinly, and he couldn't wait for the change of clothes of the two beautiful women sent by his subordinates, so he put on a robe and walked out of the room.

Although the beauty is good, but after venting her desires, it is nothing more than that.

Now, he, Cao Pi, is here to get down to business!

"Then Gong Liu's heir has been tricked?"

Wu Zhen held the secret letter of the envoy of the King of Wei who was still in Xiyang City, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, has been tricked, or the king has been tricked." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing Wu Zhen's wry smile, Cao Pi frowned slightly.

"This secret letter, Your Highness will know it when you look at it."

Taking the secret letter in Wu Zhen's hand, Cao Pi watched it carefully.

After reading the letter, he understood why Wu Zhen had a wry smile on his face.

"This Liu Gonghei did agree to the alliance, but this condition..."

Before the envoy sent out, Cao Pi did instruct him to agree no matter what conditions the heir of Liu proposed.

But to say yes to everything is to say yes to nothing.

Just like the truth that the free ones in later generations are the most expensive.

I promised you the conditions of the alliance with Gong Liu, but I don't honor it!

Drag it out for more than ten or twenty days, and wait until the situation on my side is settled.

Alliance?

What alliance do I have with you, Gonghei Liu?

You kid also robbed my wife, and the hatred of taking my wife is not shared!

However...

This Liu Gonghei is worthy of being known for his cunning.

I don't know if I saw his delaying tactics.

You want to cut the city and ask for grain and grass?

Under such conditions, it will be difficult to delay for a long time.

"Ji Chong, what do you think about this matter?"

Wu Zhen is also thinking.

"Maybe the heir of Duke Liu knew about the king's plan to delay the army, and what he is doing now is just taking advantage of the situation to gain some benefits."

Based on a cart of 500 catties, 300 carts is 150,000 catties of grain.

150,000 catties of grain, that's a lot.

"If you can use these 150,000 catties of grain in exchange for that Liu Gonghei's not to send troops, it's worth it, I'm afraid that it will be a meat bun beating a dog, and I won't pay it back."

What if the heir of Gongji Liu just took the benefits and didn't work?

"That's what I'm worried about."

150,000 catties of grain and grass are nothing to him Wei State.

But...

It's nothing, it's 150,000 catties of grain and grass, and it's sent to the enemy for nothing, so does he Cao Pi have a hole in his brain?

"In this case, you go and call Zhongda over."

When it comes to scheming and controlling people's hearts, this Sima Zhongda may be able to give him a different answer.

"Forget it, gather the ministers, and ask the right one in the city."

Not only the Runan side, but also how to deal with the matter of the heir of Duke Liu.

On Chengde's side, the Jiangdong army intended to attack the city.

And Zang Ba's side, all parties are almost ready, but it's time to close the net and start it?

"No!"

Wu Zhen immediately retreated.

Cao Pi's eyes were gloomy, and he returned to the room, this time after he was fully dressed, he slowly walked out of the door, surrounded by the guards of the attendants, and walked towards the lobby of the house.

By the time Cao Pi arrived in the hall, basically all the people who should have arrived had arrived.

"Ask the right question today, just ask three things, and we'll come one by one. The first thing: Gu has sent an envoy to form an alliance with the crown prince of Hanzhong, but he didn't want him to ask for 300 carts of grain and grass first, you Aiqing, what do you think, how should Gu respond to this matter? ”

Before Cao Pi's ass sat firmly, the words had already begun to speak.

When it came to the heir of Liu Gonghe, the crown prince of Hanzhong, the atmosphere in the palace was not very active.

Under the account, many people have suffered Liu Chan's losses.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Pi fixed his eyes on Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, what do you think?"

When Cao Pi asked this question, Sima Yi's brain began to overclock.

At this moment, Cao Pi was named, Sima Yi held the wat board, and immediately replied:

"In the opinion of his subordinates, he can first send 100 carts of grain and grass over within five days, and then send 200 carts of grain and grass over 10 days later. If they don't want to form an alliance, we can only lose a hundred carts of grain and grass. ”

Compared with sending 100 carts of grain and grass and sending 300 carts of grain and grass, it is naturally better to send 100 carts of grain and grass.

However, there were courtiers in the court, and he said disapprerovitically: "Then the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, obviously said that he would send 300 carts of grain and grass over on the fifth day, and we breached the contract, causing his original intention to form an alliance to change, so what should I do?"

The king, there are only 300 carts of grain and grass horizontally and vertically, even if it is not successful, it is harmless, and it is done, then it is a big profit! ”

In the hall, you say a word to me:

"Yes! King, three hundred carts of grain and grass are irrelevant. ”

"That's right, my lord, why do you need to form an alliance with the crown prince of Hanzhong? I am invincible in the world, so why use this strategy? ”

"Yes, if you seek skin with the tiger, you will eventually hurt yourself, and please think twice about the king!"

...

"Enough!"

The words off the field were noisy, and Cao Pi's head was about to shout.

"What do you mean, you know alone, now, to discuss the second major event, Jiangdong wants to attack Chengde, what is your strategy?"

Liu Ye immediately got up and said: "Chengde Chengcheng is strong, and there are two generals Wenyuan and Cao Hong to guard it, in a short time, there will be no big problem, you should first clean up Zang Ba, and then deal with Jiangdong." ”

From the beginning to the end.

If you fight Zang Ba first, and then don't fight again, you will run to fight Jiangdong again.

If you continue like this, you will press the gourd and lift the scoop -- take care of this end and lose the other.

"Jiangdong rats, why be afraid? Originally, I lost Hefei, which was a great shame, and he still dared to attack me Chengde? If you don't teach him a lesson, you still think I'm easy to bully! ”

"That's right, just Jiangdong rats, the ten days can be determined, and it's not too late to deal with Zang Ba at that time!"

"The king can't, he should deal with Zang Ba as soon as possible, and then deal with Jiangdong, Zang Ba is flat, Jiangdong will not dare to attack again, at that time, not only Chengde can be guaranteed, but Hefei has the possibility of recovery, and the danger of Liu Gonghei, the king of Hanzhong, in Runan, is also swept away, and the king should distinguish the priority!"

"What is the heir of the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghe? The king, allow me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I will take the head of the heir of Duke Liu for the king! ”

...

Seeing that the style of speech is getting more and more biased, in this lobby, it is not like a meeting hall, but like a vegetable market in the middle of nowhere.

It's noisy.

"Enough!"

Cao Pi slapped the case in front of him hard.

Bang~

Under the loud noise, the hall was silent.

"What you mean by waiting, you know alone."

It seems that it is a mistake to call them here today.

There is really nothing wrong with the fact that there is great strength in numbers.

However...

After there are more people, there are more ideas, and it is necessary to distinguish the good from the bad, which is too much a test of his ability as a ruler.

When my father was there, this was not what was going on in this hall.

Ay~

Cao Pi sighed in his heart.

Or is his foundation unstable in the Wei State, otherwise, these ministers dare to speak at will?

"The third thing, Jiang Gong went to Xuzhou, there is no news yet, but Wu Dun has rebelled, Zang Ba's grain road has been cut off, and we are going to use troops against Zang Ba?"

After Cao Pi finished speaking, the following ministers began to offer plans again.

"King, we should use troops as soon as possible, now our army is racing against time, take advantage of the sluggishness of the army in Zang Ba's army, send troops as soon as possible, eradicate this scourge, Zang Ba can be eliminated, this situation can be opened."

The son of Li Tong of Wei and the brother of Li Ji, Pingyu Zhonglang stepped forward with Li Xu in his hand and said.

"This is also a risky plan!

The king, should be trapped in Zang Ba for a few more days, and so on in the lack of grain and grass in the village, its military spirit will inevitably be scattered, then the king may not be able to send a soldier, just an edict, you can take Zang Ba's head, this is the best policy! ”

"Yes, there is no news about Jiang Gong's envoy to Xuzhou, you should wait a few more days, maybe Jiang Gong will go out and persuade Zang Ai and Yili, then the general trend will be successful, and there is no need to spend elite troops, and I don't need to spend people and material resources."

"You are a corrupt Confucian, the soldiers are noble and fast, and now the situation is critical, where can our army afford to wait, king, send troops!"

...

Ay~

Looking at the ministers in the hall, you say a word, I say a word, Cao Pi is completely emo.

When Cao Cao was alive, he couldn't wait to replace him immediately and be the king of Wei himself, or even the emperor.

However...

When he really sat in this position, he realized the difficulty of this.

This King of Wei is not easy to be!

"I'm lonely, today's matter, let's discuss it another day, and disperse."

Cao Pi waved his hand, and his face was already impatient.

When the ministers saw it, they naturally didn't dare to say more, so they had to salute Cao Pi and slowly retreat.

Today's ministers have finished their deliberations, but...

These three things should still be brought out as soon as possible.

Therefore, after repulsing the ministers, Cao Pi ordered the internal officials to summon several confidants and ministers to come over, preparing to set up a small court to discuss the matter.

Since more people can't get things done, it's okay to have fewer people?

There weren't many people coming, only ten.

Sima Yi, Wu Zhi, Jia Xu, Wu Zhen, Chen Qun, Liu Ye, etc.

After there were fewer people, it was a lot quieter.

"There are only three things, what do you think, how should Lone do it?"

Cao Pi looked around at everyone, and finally looked at Jia Xu.

"What does Jia Gong think?"

Jia Xu, known as a poisonous man, has strong strategic, planning ability, and is proficient in the art of war.

In the early days, he switched sides several times, first offering advice under Dong Zhuo, then making a living in Zhang Xiujun, and later working under Cao Cao.

Jia Xu knew that he was not Cao Cao's former minister, and he never took the initiative to show others.

Later, because he chose to assist Cao Pi, he was reused by Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were competing for the crown prince, Jia Xu told a troublesome story of abolishing the old and raising the young, and suggested that Cao Cao abandon Cao Zhi and choose Cao Pi.

Jia Xu has a bad reputation at home and abroad, but Cao Pi doesn't mind, and entrusts him with important tasks, takes him with him, and asks the right staff officer at any time.

Jia Xu slowly saluted Cao Pi and said: "The prince of Hanzhong is cunning and not gullible, His Royal Highness still ordered Li Ji to repair the city and purge the soldiers to prevent the Jingzhou soldiers from sneaking up!" Although the king's strategy is good, but Liu Chanfei is a stupid person, for smart people, there must be a plan for smart people. ”

It's just that...

That Liu Gonghei is good at military strategy, what if he sends troops to attack Runan and involves my troops?

Seeing Cao Pi's eyes flickering, Jia Xu sighed in his heart, and without much persuasion, he said again:

"Jiangdong doesn't need to pay extra attention to the siege, but if you let it attack the city, won't it damage the prestige of my Great Wei Army? Why didn't the king send a thousand elite soldiers to appear outside Hefei City, then Sun Zhongmou saw that there was a Wei army cruising around Hefei City, even if he attacked Chengde, he did not dare to press the whole army, which could be regarded as supporting Chengde in disguise. ”

Surround Wei to save Zhao, and attack the west?

The battlefield is inherently virtual and real.

He sent a group of elite soldiers to Hefei, and he didn't need too much, he only needed to cause chaos, and he could make Sun Zhongmou anxious.

That's a good idea.

"As for Zang Ba's side, wait, the king can't afford to wait, but if he wants to fight, now is not the time, why doesn't the king lure Zang Ba out of the village and fight with him?"

Luring Zang Ba out of the city?

Cao Pi's eyes lit up.

"Jia Gong taught me!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The news of Wu Dunna's surrender has not yet reached Zang Ba's camp, and the king can make a plan to induce him to support Yin Ling and make it defeated. With such a two-pronged approach, in a few days, the Zang Ba Rebellion will definitely happen! ”

Ginger is still old and spicy!

Cao Pi sighed in his heart, but his face was still very calm.

He wants to listen to the plans of his confidants and ministers, and then consider them all.

Of course...

Yuan Benchu's lesson was not far away.

He Cao Pi listened to the advice, and he must listen to it all.

It can't be suggested that the strategy should be half listened to and half done, if this is the case, then the defeat of his Wei State will not be far away.

Between Sumeru.

After listening to the strategies of his ministers and strategists, Cao Pi thought for a long time and said: "The heir of Liu Gongji of Runan County is still mainly appeased, and three hundred carts of grain and grass can be given to him, but before giving him grain and grass, he needs to be sent to Runan County to attack the cavalry that disturbs the people's grain routes and withdraw, as for the land of the five cities, it can be discussed." At the same time, order Li Ji to defend himself so that he will not be attacked by the heir of Duke Liu! ”

If the three hundred carts of grain and grass can be exchanged for the Jingzhou soldiers and cavalry to return to Runan County, this transaction is actually not a loss.

It was not only the Jingzhou soldiers and cavalry who attacked and disturbed the grain road, but the bigger problem was that they plundered the population of Runan County and delayed the spring plowing of various counties in Runan County.

That's the big problem.

The sale of 300 carts of grain and grass, if it is according to his vision, it will be a great profit!

As soon as Cao Pi said this, none of the strategists in the hall spoke, as if they acquiesced.

"As for Jiangdong and Zang Ba, the strategy will follow Jia Gong's."

"The king is wise!"

The plan was set, and Cao Pi's whole person relaxed.

"It's not too early, so stand back and rest."

"No!"

After brainstorming all day, Cao Pi only felt that his body was hollowed out.

Playing with women is not so tiring.

The ministers slowly departed.

After appearing in the court, Sima Yi quickly caught up with Jia Xu, and said quietly behind him: "Jia Gong knows that the heir of Duke Liu will not conspire with the king, why didn't he persuade the king not to send grain over?" Jingzhou is short of food, and the king is so an enemy, but why? ”

Jia Xu turned around, with a kind smile on his old bark-like face, and said: "Zhongda, you are a smart person, you know that there are some things you can say and some things you can't say, which things are good for you and what you can't say.

The old plan has been fully informed to the king, and if the king doesn't listen, can I force him to fail?

If I guess wrong, wouldn't it be a sin to force the king to do what he wanted? And I guessed right, but the king didn't do what I said, and he will regret it in his heart. ”

After saying this, Jia Xu looked at Sima Yi deeply and said: "Be smart when you should be smart, you are a courtier, not a king, do you know your identity?" ”

After speaking, Jia Xu left, leaving only Sima Yi frowning and thinking.

I understand the reasoning.

It's just that...

Let the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, succeed, why is this so uncomfortable?

He hasn't avenged the revenge of the three horses that day!

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he Sima Yi will take revenge, which will be all day long.

No way!

Can't let that Liu Gonghei be so happy!

I have to do something!
