Chapter 428: I'm Such a Genius!
"Attacking Wu is not a trivial matter, and all parties must be well prepared before they can act."
Liu Chan thought for a while, and immediately said: "Now the soldiers, grain, grass, and ordnance are not ready, and there are still more than a month, it is the time for spring ploughing, and it is too early to raise troops to fight." ”
It's still early?
Guan Ping didn't think so.
"I heard that Lu Xun is on the front line of Xunyang, building a fortress, the longer the time drags on, the stronger the defense line of the Wu army will be, and the greater the price paid by our army to break through the defense line of the Wu army. Our army should be swift and send troops as soon as possible to take the Xunyang defense line. ”
Or seeing that the expression on Liu Chan's face had not changed, Guan Ping added another sentence later.
"Your Highness, if our army can fight Jianye within a month, even the Wei State will not be able to react, on the contrary, if the war with the Wu State lasts too long, how can the Wei State not intervene?"
Before Wei Guo could react, the matter was resolved.
The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the big man.
Liu Chan naturally understands this truth, but his attack on Wu this time is not true in itself, so he naturally will not be stupid to really attack.
Besides, kill Wu in a month?
Is it true that Liu Chan is a superman?
But......
Liu Chan also understands that now he must give a reason to convince his subordinates.
Otherwise, this play will not be able to continue.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Chan said slowly: "Before the Wei army attacked Xuzhou, Gu would not send troops."
Liu Chan's meaning is obvious.
Do you want to steal chickens?
It's simply impossible.
"This ......"
Liu Chan's words made Guan Ping speechless.
My Highness is obviously very strong, but he is overly cautious.
Guan Ping still wanted to persuade Liu Chan, but when he saw Liu Chan's firm eyes, he immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.
With his understanding of His Highness, once His Highness made a certain decision, it would not change it easily.
Let's go!
It's not bad to be cautious.
Guan Ping had to comfort himself like this.
……
And hundreds of miles away.
Xu Du.
The palace where Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty once lived has now become Cao Pi's palace.
Looking at the objects in this temple, it is both familiar and strange.
At that time, he had visited Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty many times, and only then did he understand why his father rarely stayed in Xudu, either to Yecheng or Luoyang.
Even if the emperor loses power, he can easily kill the ministers.
Before Cao Cao planned to go to conquer Zhang Xiu, according to the rules to ask the emperor for instructions, when Cao Cao met Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian let the guards on both sides of the road drive a halberd to press Cao Cao's neck, historical data called "cross-halberd fork neck".
This incident frightened Cao Cao's face, and Emperor Han Xian wanted to let Cao Cao understand that he was the emperor through this operation.
Cao Cao was stupid because of this time, and never dared to see Emperor Han Xian again, he was afraid that Emperor Han Xian would kill him directly, so he "stopped pilgrimage", and even moved his office camp to Yecheng.
After the age of forty, he never saw Liu Xie again.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he also thought about how to get along with Emperor Han Xian.
Pity.
This obedient puppet emperor is already buried in the soil, and the grass on the grave is quite high.
It saves him from doing the follow-up finishing.
"Queen...... Oh no, Duchess of Sanyo, where is it now? ”
"The Duchess of Shanyang is still guarding the soul of the Duke of Shanyang." Chen Qun immediately stepped forward and said.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was stabbed to death, and in order to eliminate the influence, Cao Pi buried Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Xian Emperor with the specifications of the emperor.
As wives and concubines, Cao Jie and others are still in the period of filial piety.
"The Duke of Shanyang has died, if the Duchess of Shanyang can't stand the loneliness, it may not be impossible to choose a good match for her."
For this relative of his own, Cao Pi still has some guilt in his heart.
The three sisters of the Cao family married into the royal family for the wealth of the Cao family.
Needless to say, the grievances suffered during this period are needless to say.
Although Liu Xie didn't dare to do anything to Cao Cao, he had the courage to do it to women, and it was very big.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from people with a heart, and the identity of Shanyang Gong is ...... special."
That Shanyang Gong is now a taboo in the Wei State.
You, the emperor, don't want to eliminate the influence, so why do you want to expand the influence.
Duchess of Shanyang.
Who would dare to marry?
Cao Pi also knew that he was thinking too much, so he had to sigh lightly.
"If the Duchess of Shanyang has any requirements, they must be satisfied."
That's all he can do now.
After sorting out his thoughts, Cao Pi sat on the main seat, waved his hand at Chen Qun, and said, "Let them come in."
"No."
Shangshu ordered Chen Qun to leave the hall immediately, and not long after, the civil and military ministers stood in two columns in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."
"Get up."
Cao Pi helped everyone up, and immediately asked, "Tell me about the situation in Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Wu."
As soon as Cao Pi's words fell, Hua Xin took a step forward with the wat board in his hand.
"His Majesty sent an envoy to Jiangling and has some understanding of the situation in Jingzhou."
Cao Pi nodded and said, "Then I will ask Wang Situ to tell me about the situation in Jingzhou."
Hua Xin immediately said: "The heir of the prince of the Han Kingdom, Liu Gonghe, is now in Jiangling, and tens of thousands of Han troops have gathered around Jiangling City, and this number is rising every day, and the grain and grass are heavy, and they are gathered from all directions.
Vawu ......
Although Cao Pi already believed part of it in his heart, he still had a lot of questions.
"The Han State attacked Wu, this matter is really too strange, the national policy of the Han State has always been to unite Wu to resist Wei, and suddenly want to send troops to Wu State, so I have to be suspicious."
Cao Ren stepped forward and said: "The prince of the Han Kingdom has won a hundred battles, and it is inevitable that he will be arrogant in his heart, coupled with the weakness of the Wu State, perhaps in the eyes of the heir of that Liu, the killing of Wu is just a matter of effort, and it is not incomprehensible to make a move to kill Wu."
Somebody always wins, but no one can win all the time.
People who win a lot will inevitably breed pride and arrogance in their hearts, and this pride and arrogance will often lead them into the abyss of failure.
"But the prince of the Han Kingdom doesn't seem to be a person who can be arrogant."
There was one sentence that Chen Qun did not say.
He's a man with a destiny!
"People are all changeable, so in the final analysis, Liu Gonghei is still a human."
Seeing that the ministers were about to quarrel with each other, Cao Pi finally spoke.
"What about the situation in Nanyang and Xiangyang?"
Cao Pi opened his mouth, and his subordinates naturally couldn't continue to argue.
"The situation in Xiangyang is not clear, but in Nanyang, because the subordinates have a lot of connections, they have a lot of news. First, some of the Nanyang soldiers were transferred to Gangneung. The second is that the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is now not engaged in conquest, but the main note of the military book. ”
Transferring troops to Jiangling, plus Guan Yu went to the army book, it shows that this Guan Yu really didn't want to attack Xudu.
Actually, it's easy to understand when you think about it.
Last time, Guan Yu rushed into Yingchuan, and almost gave up his life, and lost 20,000 elites, which can be described as a nerve-wrack.
This time, I'm going to get smarter.
"The soldiers are treacherous, the virtual and the real are elusive, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is a brave general, a wise general, and he cannot be underestimated, not to mention, there is still Xu Shu in Wancheng, it is difficult to attack, and he can't relax his vigilance."
Speaking of Xu Shu, Cao Pi had some itchy teeth.
When he met Xu Shu in Yecheng in Xudu, he asked him for advice, but this guy didn't say a word, and he looked like he didn't know anything, but he returned to Jingzhou and directly became a great talent, not only governing Nanyang in an orderly manner, but also becoming the commander of the military division in Jingzhou.
There is no doubt that the turmoil in the Wei State in the past two years is inseparable from this.
"In Xudu, the army of the Han army in Wancheng will not move at all."
Nanyang was lost, and it was already a heavy loss for the Wei State.
If Yingchuan is lost again, then the Wei State will collapse.
"I already know the situation in Jingzhou, what is the situation in Xuzhou?"
The person in charge of the specific affairs of Xuzhou is Jia Xu.
Jia Xu held the wat board in his hand, stepped forward to salute Cao Pi, and then said: "The situation in Xuzhou is as it is, and there are three more Haoqiang who are willing to communicate with us, except for Pengcheng, Xiapi and other important places, basically all over Xuzhou, there is the help of my Wei State, if Your Majesty sends a large army to go, it will respond."
Cao Pi's method for Xuzhou was to lure it to join him, claiming to be a soldier who surrendered without a fight, and now it seems that the effect is still there.
But Pengcheng and Xiapi are important towns in Xuzhou, and if these two cities can't be taken, Xuzhou can't be said to have been taken.
"Pengcheng and Xiapi, what's the situation, my Great Wei can't buy people's hearts?"
Jia Xu said slowly: "These two cities are all guarded by Zang Ba's father and son, and the people used are also cronies among cronies, so it is difficult to say that they surrender."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Pi also had some understanding in his heart that if he wanted to take Xuzhou, it was not enough to buy people's hearts.
At the critical moment, we still have to fight.
And this battle has to be fought well, if this battle is fought, the whole Xuzhou will not have to move more troops, but if the first battle is not good-looking, I am afraid that if you want to take the entire Xuzhou, it will not be a thing that can be successful in a short time.
Cao Pi recalled how his father Cao Cao took Xuzhou.
Well......
It relies on the internal response of the Xuzhou Shi clan.
But the current situation is that there is no Xuzhou Shi clan with a scale and a climate.
In addition to the strong man who holds the army, it is still the strong man.
These heroes are much more difficult to speak than the scholars.
Much dumber too.
In this matter, Cao Pi wants to cooperate with smart people, but there are not so many smart people in Xuzhou now.
"To attack Xuzhou, not only to slowly figure it out, but also to use thunder means at critical moments!"
There are only Huairou means, so the people of Xuzhou still think that he Cao Pi only has benevolence and righteousness!
Don't forget, my old Cao family has slaughtered the city in Xuzhou!
really annoyed him, Cao Pi didn't mind slaughtering the city again in Xuzhou!
"From the perspective of his subordinates, if you really want to take Xuzhou, you must attack this road." Jia Xu said to Cao Pi on the side.
Not all methods can be won at the lowest cost.
When it's time to give, you still have to pay.
Cao Pi pondered for a moment, but did not immediately answer Jia Xu, he turned to look at Sima Yi.
"What's going on with Wu Guo?"
Running back and forth, Sima Yi's mental state was worrying, but at this moment he still beat his spirit, saluted Cao Pi, and said: "The situation in Wu is complicated, the monarch and the minister are not in harmony, the prince is in bad health, the second son is worried about the heart of seizing the heir, the people are in turmoil, and the Han power is strong in the territory of Wu. ”
Is the problem so serious?
Wouldn't that give the heir of Liu Gong a chance to kill Wu?
"Then in your opinion, if the Han State attacks Wu, the Wu army can stop it?"
Sima Yi thought for a moment, nodded immediately, and said: "For a year and a half, the state of Wu can definitely be stopped, although the situation in the state of Wu is chaotic, but the king of Wu's control of the army is still very stable, and the people in Jiangdong are still relatively active in defending the territory, and the morale is not too low." ”
If you can keep it for a year and a half, that's fine.
Cao Pi asked again: "Wu State has now placed its army on the border between Han and Wu?" ”
All placed on the border of Han and Wu?
Could it be that His Majesty means that he wants to take this opportunity to take the State of Wu?
"Most of the Wu army is gathered on the Han and Wu borders, but there are still nearly 20,000 elite Wu troops in Hefei."
Hearing this, Cao Pi's expression was a little pity.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.
It seems that Sun Quan also didn't give him the opportunity to be this fisherman.
Otherwise, Hefei can be taken back and then supported by Wu Guo, and at that time, Sun Quan will not dare to say anything.
A powerful state of Wu is not what Cao Pi wants to see.
The weak Wu State, the easy to deal with Wu State, is what Cao Pi wants to see.
"Does the school government have any news from the Han Kingdom?"
After learning about the situation in Wu State, Cao Pi turned his attention to Liu Ye.
The latter stepped forward and saluted Cao Pi, and then began to say: "People from all over the Han Kingdom were dispatched to gather in Jiangzhou and Chengdu, and the secret agents of the school government got very secret news in Chengdu. ”
People are heading towards Jiangzhou and Chengdu?
Cao Pi's attention was first drawn to this question.
But when he heard the secret news that Liu Ye said, he hurriedly asked, "What is the secret news?" ”
Seeing Cao Pi's impatient appearance, Liu Ye didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and immediately said: "Liu Xuande is seriously ill and his life is short. ”
Short-lived?
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and he was suspicious at first, but when he thought that Liu Bei was unwell many times when the school government came to pay tribute, the doubts in his heart were removed little by little.
In fact, calculating the age, plus Liu Bei's southern expedition to the north, it is almost time to return to the west.
Now there are not many people of the older generation who are still alive.
"The big-eared thief is seriously ill, which is not good news for the Han Kingdom, but it is good news for the Wei Kingdom."
Liu Bei was seriously ill, so it was impossible for him to go on a northern expedition.
The safety of the desolate land is preserved.
In fact, after believing that the Han State attacked Wu, Cao Pi eliminated the possibility of the Han Kingdom's Northern Expedition.
After all, with the current Han family, it can only support a large-scale war at most.
Van Wu had already emptied the savings of the Han Kingdom.
Still want to go on the Northern Expedition?
Do you really think that money, food, and people's power are blown by the wind?
"Is there any other news?"
Liu Ye continued: "Some people say that the reason why Liu Chan, the prince of the Han State, has not launched a war to attack Wu is that he saw that the army of Wei was sluggish in Suiyang, and he was afraid in his heart, so he did not dare to attack Wu. ”
Chen Bing Suiyang, Cao Pi does have the meaning of judging the situation.
But now, it doesn't seem to have to be a choice.
"Looking at the situation in the world, now is a good time to crusade against Xuzhou!"
Cao Pi's eyes have never been so bright.
"Send the soldiers of Suiyang, crusade against Zangba in Xuzhou, transfer 20,000 Chinese troops, replace the defense of Yingchuan, and the defenders of Yingchuan will be transferred to Suiyang as a mobile army!"
Regain Xuzhou.
However, taking advantage of the bloody battle between Han and Wu, the losses were heavy.
Wouldn't he Cao Pi take whoever he wanted?
Hefei.
I'm going to!
Runan.
I want it too!
Hey!
What a genius I'm a genius! (End of chapter)
