Chapter 823: Jia Xu's Suggestion
"Report! Important information has been sent out in Shu State!"
"Speak. ”
"Liu Chan, the prince of Shu, intends to surrender to our army, and has sent Xu Jing to contact our army, and at the same time, Liu Chan also ordered Fazheng to replace Ma Chao to become the official general of Yangping......"
Hearing this important piece of information, Sima Yi, who was in charge of Cao Wei's intelligence work, showed a complicated look on his face.
What does this piece of information represent just now, he knows best in his heart, he knows that if there is no big accident, the troubled times are probably coming to an end, and the time when the world will be unified is not far away, it stands to reason that every Cao Wei courtier, especially the courtier who has received Cao Pi's attention, should be happy, but he is an exception.
He was originally a member of the Sima clan in Hanoi, born in a famous family, he has been famous since he was a child, but he does not lose to anyone when he asks himself, but in this troubled era, he also has his own ambitions. When Cao Cao was alive, he was everywhere on the embankment, but he was like walking on thin ice and did not dare to show the slightest, but now Cao Pi's position is different, because before Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he continued to get closer, and made suggestions, and was a great contributor to Cao Pi's seizure of the throne, so now Cao Pi is extremely important and is in charge of Cao Wei's intelligence work, which makes him see hope, so he doesn't want the troubled times to end soon.
Although he was unwilling, Sima Yi knew that this matter did not allow him to do anything, and if he did anything, then I am afraid that he would be killed. Anyway, he can endure it, Cao Cao's subordinates have endured it for so many years, and he doesn't care about enduring it for a little longer, and he is a smart person, if he really can't do it, he won't do those meaningless things.
Therefore, the complicated expression on Sima Yi's face only flashed for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared.
"Good, that's good news. Go down and get the prize. He said to his subordinates with great satisfaction, dismissed this person, and then Sima Yi got up, came out of his house, and walked towards a hall.
"Zhongda, what are you here for?" Cao Pi received him in the main hall.
"Bixia, my subordinates have just received news that Liu Chan of Shu intends to surrender to our army. Sima Yi said with a smile.
"Is there really such a thing?" This news made Cao Pi very excited, but he would not let go so easily: "Tell me the specific content in detail." ”
"No. Xu Jing has been sent to contact our army, and at the same time, he has also issued an order to change Fazheng to Ma Chao to become a Yangping official, and also ordered Qian Zhou to control the soldiers and horses who confront Meng Da, and when he gets a response from my Cao Wei, he will immediately switch off and let my Wei army enter. In addition, the supplies were also counted......" As he spoke, Sima Yi's expression did not change, but he didn't know what it tasted like in his heart.
After a pillar of incense, in the hall, only Cao Pi was left, he thought about the information he had heard before, and analyzed them one by one.
At this moment, the door opened. A slightly chubby old man stepped in from outside. "Old minister, see Bixia!"
"Teacher doesn't have to be polite!" Cao Pi hurriedly went over to help the old man, but this person was Jia Xu.
"I don't know what Bixia is looking for the old minister?" Although Cao Pi motioned for Jia Xu to sit down, Jia Xu didn't sit down, just stood and asked.
Cao Pi smiled and said: "There is good news, Liu Chan of Shu Kingdom is willing to surrender ......"
Listening to Cao Pi explain the details one by one, the expression on Jia Xu's face remained unchanged. However, he said: "It's really a blessing to be like this, and the old minister is here to congratulate Bixia." ”
Cao Pi smiled and said, "The teacher didn't have anything else to say to me?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The destruction of Shu is already irreversible, although Hanzhong is a city known for its fortification, but now the people's hearts are in turmoil. It takes some time, and naturally it can fall into the hands of my Cao Wei, but if it is forcibly attacked, it does not need to lose many men and horses. Now it is a great good thing to be able to get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hanzhong and Shu without spending a single soldier, not only do you not need to pay those money, grain and equipment, but you can also get the money and grain accumulated in the warehouses of Shu. But the old minister had nothing to say. ”
Cao Pi said: "On that day, Lone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Lu Xun to lead troops to attack Shu, and the ministers all agreed, but the teacher advised Lone to attack Shu." If it weren't for the recent fact that Dongwu has been throwing troops into the battlefield of Shu from afar, Gu Du didn't know that Jiangdong Sun Quan still had a large number of Liliang in his hands that had not been put into the battlefield, this is close to 200,000 soldiers and horses, there is the danger of the Yangtze River, and 200,000 soldiers and horses are enough to make Gu Zhengfa Jiangdong return in vain. Even if there is a small victory, it will force Lu Xun to come back, and Shu will not be forced to such a situation, not only can Lone not be able to encounter such a good thing, but after Shu survives, it will be endless, so this matter is thanks to the teacher. ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Bixia saw the biography of the immeasurable Taoist, and only then did he change his mind to attack Jiangdong and attack Shu, and this Fazheng and others had something to do with the Wudoumi Sect back then, and the immeasurable Taoist, this time Liu Chan of Shu was so easy to surrender, and these people played such a role in it, I am afraid that there must be immeasurable Taoist people who made great efforts, and the old minister did not dare to make a meritorious effort, and Bixia wanted to thank the immeasurable Taoist." ”
Cao Pi said: "It seems that the teacher didn't immediately agree to the proposal to attack Shu Gu that day, and there is still a mustard in his heart!"
Jia Xu said: "The old minister doesn't dare, but he doesn't dare to take the credit of others." ”
Cao Pi said: "The immeasurable immortal chief reminded that the lonely attack on Shu does not attack Wu, and he can sit in the army of Eastern Wu, so that the Eastern Wu and Shu can fight to such an extent, each has great damage, and the Shu State is even more forced to a desperate situation, and directly said that Liu Chan came to surrender, which is naturally a great achievement, but the teacher's credit is not small, and the lonely will be rewarded one by one in the future." ”
Jia Xu said: "Xie Bixia!"
Cao Pi said: "Teacher, now there are only you and me, don't be so cautious, just say anything!"
Jia Xu said: "Bixia is talented and intelligent, but she is a rare Ming Jun, everything will be done very well, and the old minister has nothing to teach." ”
Cao Pi said: "The teacher is modest, but Pi still has many deficiencies and needs the teacher's guidance." No matter what, the teacher has to give some advice today. In this case, I will first ask the teacher three questions and ask the teacher to answer them truthfully. ”
Jia Xu said: "Since Bixia trusts the old minister so much, then the old minister is not good to say anything, if you are not afraid of polluting the holy hearing, Bixia can just ask!"
Cao Pi said: "Dare to ask the teacher, how should Liu Chan and the monarchs and ministers of Shu be handled?"
Jia Xu said: "I have heard that Liu Chan has no ambitions and likes pleasure, but whether it is true or a cover-up, it is up to Bixia to identify it himself, as long as it is not too different, he will give him an Anle prince, as for if he has been covering up, then Bixia naturally knows how to deal with it."
As for the civil and military affairs of the Shu State, Liu Bei is extremely knowledgeable, and there are many talents among them, such as the Fazheng mentioned by Bixia just now, Xu Jing, Jiao Zhou, Li Yan, etc. are extremely rare talents, and getting these people can fill the vacancies left in the previous purges, and can also effectively balance the courtiers left by Emperor Taizu Wu, which is very beneficial to my Wei State. ”
Cao Pi smiled and said: "Haha, the teacher should be like this, if there is anything, where do you have so many scruples." ”
Jia Xu just smiled, but didn't say anything. Cao Pi then asked, "Teacher, what good does an immeasurable Daoist do to him, or what does he want to get, and how should we treat him?"
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Lao Chen thinks that he first helped me Cao Wei to destroy the demon clan, and now he has helped Jiangdong sweep away the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan, but this person cares very much about the survival of the human race, but he is a monk who does not forget his roots, and now the Quartet is growing stronger, presumably he wants to help me Cao Wei unify the Nanzhan Continent as soon as possible, end the troubled times, and resist the foreign race."
And like such a master, there are not many things that can be seen in the world, even if Bixia gives him the throne, he will not put it in his eyes, with his kindness to Cao Wei, Bixia does not have to guard against him at all, rewards and the like can be arbitrary, just do your best. If there is really nothing to reward, then build more temples to worship, so that it can help increase its luck, and those people in the Xuanmen will like this. ”
Cao Pi nodded, and then asked: "After Na surrenders to Shu, should Gu immediately win with Jiangdong and unify the world, or should he focus on stability and send troops to Eastern Wu in a few years?"
Jia Xu said: "Naturally, it is stable for a few years. ”
Cao Pi asked, "Please also ask the teacher for advice!"
With all due respect, although Bixia is also a genius and a rare Ming Jun, he has not experienced decades of experience, but now he is not as good as Emperor Taizu Wu, Sun Quan is a figure that Emperor Taizu Wu and other characters are extremely afraid of, Lu Xun is a person who has repeatedly suffered losses even Emperor Taizu Wu.
Eastern Wu now has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, countless powerful generals, and there are two monarchs and ministers, it is extremely difficult to destroy Wu at this time, and now the Wu army is so vigorous, even if we annex Shu, if we enter the army immediately, not only can we not please it, but there may also be damage.
Anyway, my Wei territory, the population is more than that of Dongwu, and the national strength is at its peak, as long as Bixia works hard and recuperates well, the longer the time, the greater the national strength of Dongwu, why should Bixia be in a hurry?"
Cao Pi said: "This is extremely good for the monarchs and ministers, but is it really necessary for me to wait until they die before I can send troops to destroy Wu, with their age, have they waited too long?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly: "You don't have to wait too long. Since ancient times, it is a taboo to have high merit and cover the master, Lu Xun has gone through this battle, and his credit is too great, even if he is Sun Quan's confidant, Sun Quan may not be at ease with him.
What's more, he is still Sun Ce's son-in-law, but he can't let him take charge of the army, Sun Ce's son is already an adult, the Shu State is destroyed, the Wei State can't move lightly for a while, and there is no war in the world for a while, Sun Quan dares to put the military power in the hands of such a person?
Even if Lu Xun took the initiative to hand over the military power, he might be suspicious of Sun Quan. What's more, Lu Xun is now in the prime of life, and it is the time to make meritorious contributions, how can he be willing to go back to retire like this, let alone hand over military power, even if he reduces military power, he will be unwilling.
As long as Bixia doesn't put pressure on them to unite, it won't take much time, the pair of monarchs and ministers will definitely break up, and it may also make the state of Wu move, and when Bixia sends troops again, he will definitely fight and go down to Eastern Wu. ”
Cao Pi heard this, and immediately said: "Haha, with a teacher's strategy, it is better than a million male soldiers!" (To be continued......)
