Chapter 106 Like an Eagle
Summer, June.

Sima Yi, who was promoted to General Hussars of Wei after defeating Wu Zuo General Zhuge Jin last year, entered Wancheng.

Moreover, Cao Rui added to supervise the military forces in Jing and Yuzhou, and officially became the commander-in-chief.

The obvious reason is that Wei You General Xu Huang died of illness, and only Wei Zuo General Zhang Yun was stationed in Jingzhou, with few troops and it was difficult to resist Sun Wu's attack.

The actual reason was that Shen Yi, the prefect of Wei Xing, made repeated appearances to Luo Yang, claiming that Meng Da had a different heart with Bashu.

Cao Rui didn't believe it.

Because Cao Pi used to treat Meng Da very kindly.

Just for the merit of coming to vote, the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng (Weixing) were merged into Xincheng County, and all of them were granted to Mengda.

Not to mention, even the honor of the courtiers carried by the car has been there.

In terms of emotion and reason, it is difficult for Cao Rui to question that Cao Pi had a wrong view of people in the past.

In particular, the intention of Shen Yi's above statement was not out of loyalty and dedication to the longevity of Cao Wei's foundation!

The Shen family was originally a wealthy family straddling the two counties of Shangyong and Xicheng.

When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he gathered thousands of families of refugees from the two counties and Nanyang County, and lavished them in the east of Hanzhong.

In the past, when Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, was alive, he sent envoys to express his friendship; when Su Gu was killed by Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, he secretly communicated with Zhang Lu.Wei Wu Cao Cao pacified the north, and the Shen family sent envoys.Shen Dan, the head of the Shen family, was given the title of general and led the captain of Yongdu.

Later, the first emperor Liu Bei attacked the three counties in the east, and the Shen family led the people to surrender to Bashu.

When Meng Da voted for Wei, Xiahou Shangdu Xu Huang came to attack the three eastern counties, and the Shen family voted for Wei again.

It can be called capricious.

Therefore, Cao Pi transferred Shen Dan to General Huaiji, moved to Nanyang, let his younger brother Shen Yi lead Wei Xing prefect, and returned to Meng Da's control.

Now that Shen Yi has repeatedly reported on Meng Da, Cao Rui can hardly believe it.

He felt that the intention of the Shen family was to expel Meng Da and occupy the three eastern counties all by himself!
However, Cao Rui didn't believe it, and Sima Yi, who was assisted by the imperial edict, thought Shen Yi's words were credible.

Moreover, Cao Weixun, who was dissatisfied with Cao Pi's generous treatment of Meng Da in the past, all expressed Chen Mengda's rebellion, so Cao Rui followed suit.

Let Sima Yi lead the army into Wancheng, Jingzhou, just in case.

When Sima Yi went to Wancheng, he frequently sent envoys to appease Meng Da, but secretly collected signs of Meng Da's rebellion.

Meng Da didn't notice this at all.

The Prime Minister Zhuge Liang heard that after Sima Yi supervised Jingzhou, he wrote to Meng Da, claiming that Niwei had already understood his heart and asked him to return to Han to protect himself.

Of course, it's a pity.

Meng Da still felt fine.

Therefore, the prime minister completely gave up his intention of surrendering to him.

According to Zheng Pu's advice in the past, Wei Yan, who was stationed in Chenggu County, was asked to pay close attention to the actual situation in the three eastern counties.

And let Jufu and Wang Ping each lead the Banchuman in their headquarters, enter Badi along the Micang Road, take the Bajun Trail into the Daba Mountains and lie dormant, waiting for Mengda to be attacked!

Well, when Shen Yi spied on Meng Da's plot with the prime minister, the prime minister also took advantage of the correspondence with Meng Da, and privately ordered the messenger to send his followers to find out where Shen Yi was stationed in Weixing County (Xicheng).

It is worth mentioning that Guan Xing, the Central Supervisory Army.

He was trained by the prime minister as a superintendent when he was young, and now he is authorized to be the chief general of Jufu and Wang Ping's two divisions, and it is his first time to oversee an army expedition.

And Ma Su was also granted military power and led three battalions of soldiers and horses.

Let the senior generals in the Han army faintly realize that the prime minister may use juniors to fight more in the future.

As for Zheng Pu, who was the first to set up counsel and should not be absent from the battle of the three eastern counties, the prime minister originally planned to grant him the right to join the army and temporarily send him to assist Weiyan in dispatching the war.

However, just after the appointment, another accident occurred.

Fuzhang, the king of Wudu who lived in Yinping County, sent his eldest son Fu Jian to knock on Baishui Pass alone, claiming to respond to the surrender of Zheng Pu in the past.

When General Li Shou of Baishuiguan sent someone to deliver a letter, the prime minister was very surprised.

Because Zheng Pu did not mention it when he reported on the battle of Jinggu Road in the past, there is still a private book about recruiting Di Wang Fuzhang.

When the prime minister brought him in for questioning, Zheng Pu himself was astonished.

In the past, he let the great tribal chiefs of Yinping go back, and wrote a letter to the talisman, but he just wanted to drive a wedge between Yinping and the people of Wudu, so that there would be discord among Qiangduan, and he didn't want to harass Baishuiguan with troops!

How could he have expected that Fu Zhang would send his son to ask for his surrender?

Moreover, Fu Zhang claims that he is willing to encircle Yinping Bridge and surrender!

As a result, Zheng Pu, who was summoned by the prime minister, listened to it, explained it in detail, and then left the table to make a big obeisance and plead guilty.

It is also!

It's unbelievable, sorry!
According to common sense, now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, there are Qiangdi tribes affiliated with the Wei Dynasty, and it is a matter of great joy for everyone to offer a narrow pass to vote for.

And as the person who contributed to this matter, he will also be rewarded heavily.

Even if Zheng Pu's surrender was done in private, he would not be held accountable.

Of course, that moment, this moment also!

It was too embarrassing when Di Wang Fuzhang asked to surrender, which put the big man in a dilemma.

Unlike the three eastern counties, which are tasteless places, the Yinping Bridge, which has always been the throat of Longshu, has always been surrounded by Yinping Bridge, which is of great significance to the land of Bashu.

If it is based on it, the front line can be threatened to Longxi County, which rebelled against the Wei Dynasty.

However, if the bridgehead is occupied, how can Ni Wei not lead the army to fight?
Once the war came suddenly, the prime minister spent several years of hard work to make Ni Wei feel that Bashu was not a threat. Wouldn't it be that he exposed his intention of the Northern Expedition for the mere siege of Yinping Qiaotou?

Moreover, if Longyou can be captured smoothly, how can the Wudu and the Di people of the second county of Yinping, supported by Wuni Wei, be able to fight against the big Han?
At that time, it will be just something in the bag that you can get at will!

Why be greedy for a while?
In particular, the big Han needs to be cautious about Di Wang Fuzhang's sudden surrender.

For example, was it sent against the Wei Dynasty to pretend to surrender in order to find out what happened in Bashu?

After all, after the battle of Jinggudao, the Wei army in Yongliang planned a plot to find out the situation of the Bashu army for the sake of caution, which is understandable.

Under such circumstances, it is the best policy not to accept it for the current consideration.

However, it is not good for the future of Dahan,

In Yongliang and Liangzhou, counting the population, there are more Qianghu and Di people than the Han family!
Moreover, the Qiang and Di tribes come from the same origin, rejecting the talismans that come to attach themselves automatically, which also cuts off the way for other Qiang and Hu tribes to come to attach in the future.

Let me ask, how can they survive between Ni Wei and the big man, rely on them to avoid a fierce battle with Ni Wei, and dare not accept the big man who is encircling Yinping Bridge?

Not to mention, those who are ignorant of literature have always respected the strong!
Therefore, it is only natural for Zheng Pu to bow his head and plead guilty.

A message from his past completely disrupted Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's plan for the Northern Expedition that had been deployed for several years.
The prime minister, who was sitting in front of the desk, looked at Zheng Pu who was bowing his head, his eyes were full of helplessness.

He has always been as fair as he is, so he will not blame Zheng Pu for this.

After all, the starting point of Zheng Pu's plan of alienation in the past was for the benefit of the big man.

But if it is said that there is no annoyance in my heart, it is impossible.

Years of hard work!
The Northern Expedition plan related to the Battle of National Fortune!

To be touched by this son's upper and lower lips, and to speak casually, he was forced into a corner!

The prime minister is also a human ear, how can he not be angry and evil in his heart for a while!

"Get up."

The prime minister who thought about it for a long time, finally sighed inaudibly, and said in a light tone, "You also made an unintentional mistake, and the matter has come to this point, and there is no benefit in pleading guilty."

"Pu, Prime Minister Xie is not responsible."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu respectfully thanked him, got up and walked into the seat.

But I didn't want to, the words of the prime minister came again, "For the current plan, you should make up for it. Zijin has always been resourceful and eloquent. If you give me the right to do things cheaply, you can hold back Nadi Wang Fuzhang for a year." Half a year?"

It also made Zheng Pu raise his head in astonishment in an instant when he heard the words.

When there was a hint of affirmation in the prime minister's eyes, he was filled with guilt.

What the prime minister meant was to let Zheng Pu go, and give him some military equipment, cloth and silk to appease the talisman Zhangxu and Wei Snake first, and postpone the matter of surrendering until the troops leave Longyou.

In this way, neither the plan of the Northern Expedition will be revealed, nor will the reputation of the court be damaged.

As for after the soldiers left Longyou.
If Longyou can be captured, Fu Zhang dare not not surrender.

If not, when Fu Zhang sees the defeat of the Han army, he will also choose to forget what he once wanted to join.

Look no further.

Naturally, hypocrisy and submissiveness are helpless actions.

If King Di Fuzhang is willing to move his family to the land of Hanzhong and add households and soldiers to the Han, that would be the best solution.

Because of the Qianghudi tribe in the northwest, their nature is like an eagle. When they are full, they spread their wings and leave, and when they are hungry, they seek attachment.

Submission and rebellion, back and forth, are the norm.

This is true whether against the Wei or the Han.

Di Wang Fuzhang initially responded to Ma Chao's army, but when he saw that he was defeated in the battle of Xiabian, he abandoned it halfway.

Now it is inevitable to abandon Wei and return to Han. What is so novel about it?

As long as the Han army does not occupy the garrison at the head of the Yinping bridge, after Cao Wei learns that Fu Zhang has moved inward, he will not think about the great Han's move to gather strength for the Northern Expedition.

However, it is by no means easy to migrate the talismans into Hanzhong.

Since Yang Ji, the king of Baiqing, was defeated and scattered, and the family of Dou Maoju, the king of Hechi, was slaughtered, Di Wang Fuzhang, who had [-] young men and more than [-] women and children, became the most powerful Di tribe in Wudu.

How can you be willing to move to Hanzhong County like the wish of the great man?

If he enters Hanzhong County, he will be reduced to a fish!
He was arbitrarily awarded a noble position by a big man, and then sat back and watched his clansmen slowly being eaten away by the government and incorporated into the household registration, and the power disappeared from then on.

Furthermore, for hundreds of years, in addition to the forced relocation of the tribes that surrendered in the Han Dynasty, the Qiang and Hudi tribes in the northwest have always had a restraint policy: the leaders of the tribes were named princes, and only annual tribute was taken.

Di Wang Fuzhang sent his eldest son here to ask for "attachment".

What they plan to do is to seek the support of the big man and become another "strong end".

But the big Han can use the tribes of Fuzhang as a frontier barrier to buffer Cao Wei's soldiers from attacking.

The relationship between the two is to take advantage of each other!
That's why, when I heard that the prime minister didn't take any advantage from the Di people, Zheng Pu, who gave money and food to the court, couldn't he feel ashamed?

The incident started because of him, and he is also duty-bound to deal with the aftermath.

How can the prime minister damage the court's money and grain?
After thinking for a while, Zheng Pu cupped his hands and replied respectfully, "Prime Minister, Di chieftain's talisman is capricious, and its nature is like an eagle, so it is untrustworthy. If the prime minister allows his son Fu Jian to lead the Di people, Pu or They can be forced to move into Hanzhong County!"

"Is his son leading the obedience?"

The prime minister raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered slightly, "Yes."
