"It's just that Sun Zhongmou is the first rat at both ends, and Hefei is in his hands, after taking Xuzhou, the next step is to knock Hefei and even Yushukou down."

The loss of Hefei is a stain on Cao Pi's politics.

After all, when he succeeded to the throne, Cao Cao left him a world in which Hefei was under the rule of Wei.

On the contrary, after he led his troops to the south, this Hefei was lost.

For him, this is a great disgrace.

And if he can take Hefei, and then take down Mixukou, his Cao Pi's prestige in Wei will reach a higher level.

What my father didn't do back then, I did, he wanted to see, who dares to say that he is not as good as the first king!

"Don't believe it, but you can also use it, I heard that Wu Guo set up an assassination tun, with Er Qiao as a beauty, assassinated the prince of the Han State, Liu Gonghei, the assassination failed, the Han State has already asked Wu Guo for the guilt, maybe it can provoke the relationship between the Han State and the Wu State, if the two countries attack each other, then my Great Wei will definitely take advantage of the fisherman."

The idea is good, but whether these two will fight or not, it is Cao Pi, and he has no bottom in his heart.

"Now that the talents of the clan are withering, I hope that Uncle Zixiao will select more talented children in the clan and have a good life and experience for future needs."

Cao Pi looked at the old man on the main seat on the side of the general.

This person's beard is white, although his body is strong, but the twilight is thick, and he is also at the end of his life, it is Cao Ren.

"Among the Cao family and the Xiahou family, there are a few people who are talented and learned, and their ministers are about to recommend them to Your Majesty!"

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Cao Wei's internal factions were hierarchical.

Wei Wu is the master of entrepreneurship, and it is difficult to fight. The status of his subordinates depends on the size of his merits; In other words, the subordinate position is completely subordinate to the "functional" perspective.

That is, Wei Wu's so-called "valuing the virtuous and ignoring the name".

The reasons for the formation of factions within Cao Wei varied.

There is the Cao family formed through "blood relationship".

There are also Xiahou clans formed through "marriage relations".

There are also strong clans formed according to "regional relations" and "local clan forces", such as the Qian Pei line, the Ru Ying line, the Hebei line, and so on.

In a word, in the Wei Wu era, the factional status of the Cao Wei camp is roughly as follows:

Cao's ≈ Xiahou's > Qiaopei> Yingchuan> Yanzhou> Hebei > others.

As the successor, Cao Pi naturally wants to follow Cao Cao, and the general direction is still closely following the pace of Cao Cao's life.

Now among the Cao clan's relatives, among the people who are still alive, there are only a few influential people left:

Cao Ren was an official in the Wei Wu Dynasty to a chariot general, and an official in the Wei Wen Dynasty to a general, increasing the rank of Sima.

Cao Hong was an official in the Wei Wu Dynasty to the general of the capital protection, and the Wei Wen Dynasty was a tired official to a hussar general, and he was a special advance.

Cao Zhen was Cao Chun's successor after his death, and he served as the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" riding governor. Officials lead the army in the middle.

Cao Xiu also led the army. Pawn in the army.

Xiahou and Cao's family are married, and they are close to the old heart, which is more precious than the time.

The Xiahou clan is the in-law of the Cao family, and his status within the Cao Wei camp is second only to the Cao family.

And because of intermarriage, the second and third generations of Xiahou and the Cao family are mostly middle cousins, and their blood is thicker than water, and they are each other's inside and outside. As a result of the Wen and Ming dynasties, the Xiahou clan gained almost the same political status as the Cao clan of the clan.

But with the successive deaths of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, the remaining second generations of the Xiahou clan are not as influential as before.

Those who can get their hands on it are Xiahou Nan, the leading army of the army, as well as the general of Zhengnan, Du Jing, and the military Xiahou Shang of Henan.

Compared with the first generation of Xiahou clan, it is already very inferior.

Qian Pei is an old man and is Cao Cao's hometown. The third echelon in Cao Wei's camp.

There is a saying that "when a fellow sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears".

Under the agricultural civilization, the productivity is low and the ability to resist disasters is poor. If the local clans don't want to be starved to death by natural disasters and killed by bandits, they can only huddle together to keep warm. The clan forces formed by blood relations and the township party forces formed by geographical divisions lasted from the Three Kingdoms era to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Even in the 21 st century, the power of the township party can still be manifested.

Qian Pei is a fellow countryman, and it is the group that Cao Cao relies on the most under his clan and relatives.

Not only Cao Cao, but also the warlords of the Three Kingdoms Han Ji.

Yuan Shao reused Hebei celebrities (especially Han Fu's old people, all from Hebei); Sun Quan reused the Jiangdong Hao clan (Zhu, Zhang, Gu, Lu, Yu); Liu Xianzhu Guijing Chu celebrities, Liu Houzhu promoted Sichuan and Shu talents, all of them are like this.

The Yingchuan system is the base camp of Cao Cao's think tank. It is the fourth echelon in Cao Cao's camp.

Zhu Xiahou Cao and Qian Pei were in charge of the soldiers; The Yingchuan system is in charge of diplomacy and money and food.

The talents that came out in the meantime do not need to be repeated.

Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Zhong Hui, etc

Too much, too much.

As for the Yanzhou and Hebei systems.

Cui Yan and Xu Yi, who were virtuous for a while, were all faithful to the Wei Dynasty; Ding Yizhi, Xu Yi lost his position and Cui Yan was executed.

Yanzhou and Hebei, these two families were raised by their stepmothers.

Originally, there were also local Overseer factions.

For example, Zang Ba, Wenpin, etc.

However, Zang Ba opposed Wei, seized Xuzhou, Wenpin was defeated by Liu Chan, and now he is guarding Jiangxia with Yu Banzhen, and this force has disappeared.

This is the pattern of the Wei Wu Dynasty, and when it comes to Cao Pi, it is different.

With the implementation of the Jiupin Official Law, the Yingchuan family has gradually risen, and the Cao family and Xiahou family have gradually been overtaken because there are too few capable people in the second generation.

The Yanzhou system and the Hebei department were associated with Cao Pi before, and after Cao Pi took the throne, they finally got rid of the situation of raising their mothers, but they were still inferior to the Yingchuan system in the court.

Cao Pi, who was originally alienated from his close relatives and the Cao family's clan because of Cao Zhang's rebellion, had to continue to rely on the clan and vigorously promote talented scholars in the clan, hoping that the balance of power would be reached between the clan and the family.

It's just that

I don't know how long this fragile balance will last.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family, after all, there are only two families, and they are pampered, and there are more and more generations of chickens and dogs, on the contrary, the talents of those families are an endless stream of output.

This balance will naturally be broken soon.

Now Cao Pi is also thinking about how to suppress the power of the scholars.

After all, this world is the world of his Cao family, not the world of the family.

While Cao Pi was thinking, an internal official outside the hall stepped forward to pay tribute.

"Your Majesty, Sima Zhongda in the imperial history asks to see you."

Sima Yi?

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, but on the side, the smile on Wu Zhen's face, who was originally with a smile on his face, gradually disappeared.

This Sima Yi, who didn't die, came back at this juncture?

"Let him in."

Sima Yi invited himself to Badi, originally to make meritorious service, but now it seems that this meritorious service is gone.

Cao Pi calculated the time, could it be that so quickly, this land was pacified by the heir of Duke Liu?

Aliens, I'm afraid it's not that easy to deal with, right?

The originally happy banquet was a little dull because of Sima Yi's arrival.

Cao Pi waved his hand and repelled those excellent beauty girls.

It didn't take long for Sima Yi, who had a dusty face, to arrive in the hall.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

Sima Yi's current appearance is indeed not good.

His face was pale and thin, and his deep-set eye sockets revealed the bitterness of months of arduous trekking. The hair had grown to the waist and hips, scattered at the back of the head, and trembling hands brushed through the hair. The clothes on his body were already ragged, and there seemed to be traces of coal dust and mud in the folds.

Only those eyes are still bright, which can be described as bright.

Wu Zhen saw Sima Yi's appearance, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

They all entered the temple to see them, and they were dressed so shabby, who are they going to show it to?

Hypocrisy!

And Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi's down-and-out appearance, and his heart was slightly shaken.

"Aiqing is flat."

Seeing Sima Yi standing up tremblingly, Cao Pi's heart was even more touched.

At that time, when it was learned that the prince of the Han Kingdom, Liu Gonghei, was preparing to use troops against Badi, although there were people in the court who offered advice and could not let the prince of the Han State succeed, no one was willing to take risks.

At the critical moment, it was Zhongda who disregarded his personal safety and invited himself to Badi.

Now it seems that this is really exhausting in the few months of Badi.

Not only did he lose dozens of pounds, but even the description began to wither.

This is my Great Wei Zhongchen!

Cao Pi sighed in his heart.

"Aiqing went to Badi, I don't know what the situation is in Badi?"

What's going on in Badi?

Sima Yi looked ashamed and said: "The heir of the Han prince Liu Gongzi entered Ba, all the way like a bamboo, and he pacified the Badi people in two months, and in half a year, he completely controlled Badi, and Badi became familiar to the Han people from the original place of bondage!" ”

Two months to pacify the people of Badi, and half a year to control the entire Badi?

You must know that Badi is thousands of miles wide, and there are many mountains and rivers, and the woods are luxuriant.

No matter how strong your Han army is, people hide in the deep mountains and old forests, what can you do?

But in this case, it will be able to defeat and subdue the people in two months, and control Badi in half a year.

Is Liu Gonghei really a god or a man?

Cao Pi boasted that if he went to Badi, even if he could pacify Badi, he would not be able to pacify Badi so quickly.

Where is this the heir of the Han prince Liu Gong, this is clearly the heir of the Han superman Liu Gonghe.

Cao Pi's face changed drastically, and after a while, he asked, "I don't know how the damage of the Han army is?" ”

Half a year to control Badi, compared to through many wars, right?

The loss must be extremely heavy!

Cao Pi thought to himself.

"The losses of the Han army are only a few hundred people."

Hundreds?

Cao Pi had a look of shock on his face.

"It can't be!"

How can it be possible to lose hundreds of people when you take the huge Badi?

Could it be that Gong Liu's spell can't be successful?

Even Wu Zhen couldn't help but sneer on the side: "Could it be that Zhongda hasn't been to Badi?" It's just a random arrangement, saying that Liu Gonghei is like a god to intimidate His Majesty? ”

Sima Yili ignored Wu Qian, and continued to Cao Pi: "What the minister said, every sentence is true, then Liu Gonghei attacked Yi with Yi, compiled three books, brainwashed the people, became the Wei people, let the Yan people charge for the Han people, and the Han army didn't need to shed blood at all."

Sima Yi told Cao Pi everything Liu Chan had done in Badi, and he still had three books in his hand.

"These are the three books, namely "The Prince's Words and Deeds", "The Hanba Family", and "Down with the Opposition of the Soldiers", and please accept it from Your Majesty!"

The internal official sent the three books to the case in front of Cao Pi, and the latter couldn't help but open the record of the prince's words and deeds.

It didn't take long for me to frown.

Then he opened the Hanba family, just read the preface, and couldn't help but sigh, and finally picked up and defeated the opponents.

The look of doubt on his face before was all gone.

"That Liu Gonghei is good at agitating people's hearts, and the military division under his command, in the border of my Great Wei State, just a few words will make people's hearts float, I don't know how many people I have killed, and I have not stopped this trend of thought. The Naba people are just barbarians, how can they be the opponents of the heirs of Liu Gonghe? It seems that this is the secret of its control of Badi for half a year. ”

It's a pity that Liu Gonghei is dealing with the Ba people.

And what he has to deal with is Zang Ba, otherwise this Liu Gonghei's method can also be used for reference.

There is no shame in learning the merits of your opponents.

But

Dividing people's hearts, this trick can indeed be used in Xuzhou.

After all, although Zang Ba has a reputation in Xuzhou, he Wei is also influential in Xuzhou.

If you can take Xuzhou without troops, it will be the best.

Then Liu Gonghei killed Xu with raze, can I, Cao Zihuan, kill Xu with Xu people?

It doesn't seem impossible.

Cao Pi was thinking about how to use Liu Chan's method to recover Xuzhou, but at this time, Sima Yi's voice came.

"Your Majesty, the State of Wu sent Er Qiao to assassinate the heir of Duke Liu, maybe this matter can be used to sow discord between the State of Wu and the State of Han."

Assassination?

Wu Zhen immediately said: "I have already talked to Your Majesty about this matter just now. ”

"And what does Your Majesty think?"

"It can be used, but neither country is a fool, and it is difficult for the two countries to really go to war with an assassination."

Sima Yi immediately gave up his hand and said to Cao Pi: "The Han country is powerful, not in terms of national strength, but in terms of legitimacy.

His Majesty is willing to be a messenger and send an envoy to Eastern Wu, if he can let Wu and Han meet each other, this is the best, the worst, and can also provoke relations between the two countries through the assassination of Han by Wu, and form an alliance with Eastern Wu by the way, using Guangling County as a bait, so that Wu and my Wei can enter the army and collect Xuzhou! ”

The idea is good.

Now Cao Pi is having the ambition to take over Xuzhou.

But seeing Sima Yi's thin appearance, he was a little worried in his heart.

"Zhongda is running around, and he has already lost his vitality, if he goes to Wu Guo again, I am very worried about your body under the fatigue of traveling and traveling."

Sima Yi immediately said: "Running around for Your Majesty, serving the Wei State, your subordinates will never give up!" ”

That voice, that tone, is really the first loyal minister of the Wei State!

"Good, good!"

With such a courtier, why worry about my Great Wei hegemony?

It's just that

He looked at Sima Yi and said: "After all, after the beginning of spring, if you use the military again, there are still a few months to go, so you will go home for the New Year, accompany your family, and recuperate for a few days, and then go on an envoy." ”

"This"

Sima Yi was about to refuse, but Cao Pi had already waved his hand, and he said: "You don't have to say it, this time you have made meritorious contributions to Ba, promoted to two levels, and specially entered the palace, followed me around, and then rewarded a thousand brocade horses and ten palace maids as a reward." ”

Special entrance to the palace.

Thousands of brocades.

Ten palace maids.

Wu Zhen was so envious that his face turned purple.

Your Majesty, I am your favorite courtier.

This Sima Yi, where did he come from, Your Majesty, don't let your heart get lost to him!

Wu Zhen roared in his heart, and the expression on his face seemed to say:

Obviously, I came first, why did he get His Highness's favor?

I am the real loyal minister of the Great Wei, he Sima Yi looks at the wolf Gu and is born with a backbone, why can't you see it clearly, Your Majesty?
