"Your Majesty, is it too early to send troops? With the cunning level of the heir of Duke Liu, I am afraid that there is fraud in it, no matter how bad it is, we will have to wait for the Han State to send troops to attack Wu, and we can attack Xuzhou. ”

Seeing Cao Pi make a decision, Sima Yi showed hesitation on his face.

That Liu Gonghei is a natural bad seed, his stomach is full of bad water, and he must think about the worst side when he does anything.

It was definitely not because of the reason why Liu Gonghei said the three-horse trough in front of Cao Cao before, so he said this sentence more.

He Sima Yi is standing upright, and he is definitely not the kind of person who will repay him.

"I know the worries in Zhongda's heart, however, if my Great Wei doesn't send troops to attack Xuzhou first, then how can Liu Gonghei send troops to attack Wu? On both sides of us, there is always one person who has to back down. ”

Cao Pi's words made Sima Yi stunned for a moment.

"That being the case, Your Majesty, the soldiers who stayed in Suiyang can't be too few, otherwise, Jingzhou may have an accident, in addition, Liu Xuande's illness, maybe there is also a cat, not afraid of 10,000, really afraid of this in case, therefore, between the subordinates, my army will open Xuzhou, one is to leave heavy troops in Suiyang, and the other is to let Guanzhong Cao Zhen Zhong Xuan always guard against the Northern Expedition of the Han Kingdom."

The first article Cao Pi still has some recognition, but what is the second one?

"Liu Bei is seriously ill, this news can't be fake, even if it's fake, with the national strength of Shu, it is impossible to go on a northern expedition at the same time as cutting down Wu. If I really follow Aiqing's words, then my Great Wei can't take Xuzhou as quickly as possible, and if Xuzhou can't be defeated, how can I profit in the chaos? ”

What Sima Yi said, in Cao Pi's view, there is some unfounded worrying in it.

"Your Majesty, everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, that is, in case, Your Majesty also has to consider it, not to mention, the enemy we are facing is the heir of Duke Liu, with the treacherous degree of this person, no matter how much you take precautions, it is not too much."

Liu Gonghei, Liu Gonghei!

"Humph!"

Cao Pi snorted coldly, and immediately said: "I admit that the Han State has today's prestige, and Liu Gonghei has contributed a lot, but now that I am here, it is that Liu Chan, and I have to give me concessions obediently, and now and now, I am obligated to recast the glory of my Great Wei!"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi's confident appearance, and was speechless in his heart.

Once upon a time, his Ming Gong seemed to have this kind of self-confidence, but the ending was ......

Sima Yi shut up in amusement.

In fact, everything that should be said has been said, and it is useless to say anything more.

And......

Some of his remarks are indeed too unfounded.

But no matter what, he has fulfilled the obligations of a courtier, in case he is really right, he is prescient, if the matter is not said by him, it doesn't matter, this is a normal thing, I am also for Your Majesty to share worries, for Dawei to do my best!

In short, the good thing is that Sima Yi wants it, but the bad thing is that he doesn't want it at all.

"Needless to say, let's get started!"

If you don't take advantage of this window period to take Xuzhou down, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity next time.

Don't look at Cao Pi's mother-in-law selling melons, boasting about herself, and saying that she is very profitable, but in his heart, he attaches great importance to Liu Chan.

He despised and even despised him in his mouth, but in his heart, he regarded Liu Chan as his long-cherished enemy.

With the current development speed of the Han Kingdom and the harmonious relationship between the monarchs and ministers, the next time may be a big war between the Han and Wei countries.

When the time comes, the civil strife in Wei has not subsided and the war has resumed, isn't it an opportunity for Zangba in Xuzhou to bargain?

Cao Pi's eyes flickered.

The shame he has had since he succeeded to the throne will be taken back little by little in his lifetime!

……

Half a month later.

Gangneung.

Hua Xin returned to Gangneung, and he clearly felt the future changes of the war.

The feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, it is so real.

The dark clouds of war have hung over the head of Jiangling, or between the Han and Wu kingdoms.

The most obvious change that can be seen is that the originally lively Gangneung business district has gradually cooled down.

Only a small number of the boats that came and went through Gangneung were for merchants, and most of them were for transporting military supplies.

When there is a war, it is a merchant and a merchant ship, and they must prepare for war.

"It seems that Sima Zhongda's worries are too much, and the Han State is indeed raising a war."

Hua Xin shook his head and looked at the gate of Jiangling Xingyuan.

This time, the covenant can be drawn up, take back Xuzhou, and watch the Han and Wu fight to the ground.

He won twice in Dawei.

……

At this moment, in the Gangneung Garden.

Liu Chan's face was both happy and hesitant.

Happily, the situation did develop as he expected, and Cao Pi believed it.

What hesitated was to completely convince the Wei State, and even let the Wei State attract all its attention, so he had to go to war with the Wu State.

But once the war started, it was difficult to stop.

In the past, when Liu Chan fought a war, he only needed to think about how to win, but now it is different.

When you fight, you have to fight, and you have to fight again, and you want the army not to be too involved, that is, when you can't really fight and want to leave, you can leave.

To achieve this level is undoubtedly a test of Liu Chan's ability.

"Strategist, it seems that a big war is inevitable."

Pang Tong shook his head and nodded again.

"Although the Wei army began to march towards Xuzhou, there was still a large army left in Suiyang, and although the soldiers in Chang'an were mobilized, they were not mobilized much."

Although it is now creating conditions for Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, the conditions created are obviously insufficient.

First, if the Northern Expedition had begun, Cao Pi would have reacted, and the time given to Liu Bei would only be two months, or even a month.

And in a month's time, if you want to lay down Chang'an, it is too difficult.

There is no advantage in troops, and there is no geographical advantage, and after the defeat of Guanzhong, it is even more difficult to meet the counterattack of Wei.

It's hellish level of difficulty.

The longer Liu Chan was able to delay Liu Bei, the more likely the Northern Expedition would be successful.

Second, the more powerful Zang Ba in Xuzhou was, the greater the pressure on Cao Pi from Liu Chan in Jingzhou, and the more likely Wei would be to transfer Guanzhong's army to the south.

In this way, it can not only leave more time for the Han Northern Expedition, but also create a troop advantage for the Han army in the Northern Expedition.

Although he Liu Chan is a plank road that is cultivated, this plank road is not so easy to cultivate.

"Maybe there will be a battle, Your Highness, now that we have gathered fifty or sixty thousand troops in Jiangling, it is better to give it a try and see if we can really defeat the state of Wu."

There are more people, and even Pang Tong's courage has become bigger.

Originally, he said that it was a fake Vat Wu, but now he actually wants to fight it.

The Han State is now fighting on both sides, which is actually barely feasible, as for the reason, it is very simple.

The whole Badi was swallowed by the Han Kingdom.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Badi, hundreds of years of inheritance, just wasted a lot, barely supporting a war, that is no problem.

Of course......

If you can't go to war on both sides, try not to.

If you win, it's okay, but if you lose, the originally thriving Han Kingdom may be in a slump.

"It's basically impossible to cut down Wu." At this time, Liu Chan was still relatively sober.

If Wu was so easy to defeat, as for Cao Cao, he returned from several attacks on Wu in vain?

Later, Cao Pi and Wu also returned in vain?

Wu Guo is indeed a lot of rats, but there are also a lot of capable people.

"It's just that the army is assembled, people chew and swallow it, and the consumption is already there, since the capital has been paid, it is natural to take some things over, otherwise wouldn't it be an empty waste of military funds?"

Pang Tong belongs to the character of a thief who does not go empty.

"It's a pity that the people of Wu were looted like poor ghosts by Wu State, and there is no oil and water to squeeze, as for bringing the people of Wu to Jingzhou, the journey is long, and with the support of Wu Guo's water division, it will be difficult to succeed."

Now the most attractive thing about Wu to Liu Chan is the common people.

Population is the primary productive force in this era.

But this most useful thing, for Liu Chan, is the most difficult to reach.

To do this, it is necessary to defeat the State of Wu, but if he can defeat the State of Wu, then it will go directly to Jianye, and he still needs to rob the population?

It's also a dead knot.

"How do you know if you don't give it a try?"

Pang Tong did not give up.

In his opinion, there is still a certain possibility of success in attacking Wu. Now that the army is massed, the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount.

How can you be willing not to give it a try?

"The army is gathered here, in fact, it is not useless, it can build fortresses, build ditches and even settle fields."

That's right, the Wei State in the north is something Liu Chan must guard against.

If you provoke Wei in the future and don't want to fight, strong fortifications are essential.

At the very least, it must be able to block the Wei State soldiers.

For the state of Wu, it is also the same.

When the news of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition reached Wu State, Sun Quan must have reacted.

Damn, we were all deceived by Liu Gonghei.

He beat us up for a while, and his wife and son were going to get in, but you told me that you were pretending to be an uncle?

How can I bear Sun Quan?

Sun Quan will definitely be unconvinced and send a large army over.

At that time, it is also very important to hold the offensive of Wu at no cost.

"Your Highness......"

Pang Tong wanted to say something, but Liu Chan's eyes were very firm.

"Determined to be willing!"

Looking at Pang Tong's regretful expression, Liu Chan said, "Let Hua Xin come in."

"No."

After Pang Tong left, not long after, Liu Chan summoned Hua Xin in the lobby.

In the lobby, it can also be seen that this time is much more solemn than the last time.

"The foreign envoy pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Hua Xin bowed to Liu Chan dignifiedly.

"Get up."

Liu Chan helped Hua Xinxuan up with an expressionless face, and then asked, "Can your lord agree to Gu's request?"

Hua Xin immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's request, my Great Wei Emperor agreed, and, when His Majesty set off, the Wei army marched towards Xuzhou, and soon attacked the city, and now my Great Wei's posture has been made, that is, the merchants have agreed, so what about the sincerity of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

I really agreed.

Liu Chan's face immediately showed a slight smile.

"The Wei Kingdom abides by the covenant, and I am the Heavenly Empire, so naturally I must also keep the covenant, so let's follow what we said before."

Celestial Empire......

Hua Xin slandered in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so refreshing, the foreign envoy is relieved. However, His Royal Highness always has to give an accurate time when he sends troops to attack Wu, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the foreign envoy after he returns. ”

This is to force him to make a statement.

Liu Chan pondered for a moment and said, "Three days later, I will go to Jiangxia County to take charge of the overall situation of Wu."

Liu Chan did not say when he would attack Wu.

But when he went to Jiangxia three days later, he already showed his attitude.

"In this case, the foreign envoy will know in his heart."

……

Three days later.

Jiangxia County.

The county governs Xiling City.

Liu Chan hurried over.

It's cold at the moment, because it's the time when the snow melts, and it's wet everywhere, which makes people feel very wrong.

"The last general will meet His Highness, long live Your Highness!"

It was muddy on the ground, but Yu Ban still knelt on the ground with a cadre of Wenchen generals from Jiangxia County, describing it as very humble.

Liu Chan immediately stepped forward and helped him up.

"The prince is a lonely hero, without the prince, why is Jiangxia County monolithic? I am afraid that the Jiangdong Wu State is going to be harassed every day, and Jiangxia Tuntian is successful, and the prince and marquis really have a lot of credit. ”

Yu Ban was helped up by Liu Chan, and when he heard what Liu Chan said, he was very moved in his heart.

"Your Highness said this, the last general of the sect is very ashamed, and the minister will ...... general"

Before Yu Ban could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Chan.

"Lone here, there is no so-called surrender of ministers and generals, in Lone here, there are only Hanchen, only loyal ministers, in the eyes of Lone, the prince has always been a Hanchen, and has always been a loyal minister of my Han."

Yu Ban had tears in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Wen Ping, the deputy envoy of the Guiyi Army, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Prince, the outside of the city is muddy, the cold wind is raging, Your Highness is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you suffer here?" Let's welcome His Highness into the city first, and then talk about the rest. ”

Wen Ping's words made Yu Ban react immediately.

"Yes the last general, not Your Highness, please."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Liu Chan entered the city with a smile, and everyone ate and drank well.

The dishes have five flavors, and the wine has passed three rounds.

Liu Chan looked at everyone in the hall, ready to get down to business.

"This time to cut Wu, it is a matter of national fortune, not to seek speed, but to seek stability, I don't know who has the strategy to cut Wu?"

Not fast, but stable?

Wen Ping's face immediately showed a look of disappointment, and his strategy was to seek speed, not stability.

But......

I'm so unwilling!

After hesitating, Wen Ping still stepped forward, saluted Liu Chan, and said: "The last general is clear about Wu Guo's arrangement in Xunyang, so the last general has a plan, but this is a risky plan."

Seeing that Liu Chan didn't shut him up, Wen Ping continued: "With the plan of his subordinates, screen three thousand elite soldiers in the army, bring three days of grain and grass, and take advantage of the gap when the main force of the Wu army is attracted, or bypass or break the Wu army's Xunyang defense line, and go straight to Jianye, and the soldiers are fast!"

The more Wen Ping spoke, the more excited he became, and his neck was already red.

"Sun Quan, the king of Wu in Jianye, would never have expected that there would be an army that would suddenly appear in front of Jianye City, if he could break through the palace of King Wu and capture Sun Zhongmou, then the state of Wu would be easily broken."

Capture the thief and capture the king first.

If Sun Quan is captured and killed, it will indeed be difficult to resist without a leader.

But......

It's too risky.

"How to solve the problem of grain and grass?" Liu Chan asked.

"Because of the food of the enemy." Wen Ping replied.

"Can't find food and grass?"

"Eat horse meat." Wen Ping replied calmly.

"Have you finished eating the horse meat?"

"What you eat, if you even eat the horse meat, it proves that the plan has failed, and it doesn't matter what you eat."

It's dangerous enough, but if it succeeds, you'll get enough of it.

Originally, Liu Chan didn't plan to agree.

But......

Somehow, Liu Chan thought of four words at this moment: international outlook.

There are some battles that are difficult to win, or there will be heavy losses, but they have to be fought.

Why?

Because I want to show it to others!

He wanted to give Cao Pi an excuse and confidence to attack Xuzhou.

……

On a business trip.
