Shu Chen

Chapter 502
There are always ups and downs in the world, and there is never a smooth sailing.

Cao Rui, the son of Wei, who has experienced countless ups and downs since he came to the throne, although he has dealt with every ups and downs in life calmly and calmly, when the news of the defeat in Longdong came to Luoyang, he still felt exhausted.

too difficult!
He felt that God had treated him too harshly.

It didn't take long for the joy of the great victory in Shouchun in Huainan to fill his heart, but the gloomy cloud of defeat in Guanzhong dominated Luoyang Temple, the court and the public.

Yes, the performance of the princes of Dagon Dagon is amazing.

They were not filled with righteous indignation or heartbroken over the defeat, nor did they criticize Sima Yi or Hu Zun who had already died, but they were all silent.

Although Cao Rui knew that the biggest reason for these people's silence was that they knew that they couldn't do better than Sima Yi and Hu Zun even if they changed places, and they couldn't defeat Scar Pu, or even lost even worse.However, those who live in high temples and are entrusted with the prince's Yinzi, even if they have no good strategy, they should uphold the heart of worrying about the country and throw bricks to attract jade, so as to share their wisdom and efforts with the masses, express their loyalty to serve the country, and fulfill the righteousness of their officials!

How can we be silent in times of national calamity!
It was this kind of silence that made Cao Rui feel exhausted.

Because sometimes the answer is very clear, whether it is silence or an irrelevant answer.

The ministers he relied on to govern the Wei State and his confidantes were not only helpless in resisting Shu, but also lost their vigor and became pessimistic about the war.
If the war is defeated, it can be won back; if the territory is lost, it can be regained;

The wind knows the strong grass, and the sturdy knows the Chengchen.

Now the wind against Shu is strong, but there is nowhere to find the strong grass in Wei?
Cao Rui waited for a long time in the silence of the officials, but in the end he was disgruntled that the group's discussion was fruitless.

I was thinking about whether to drive the Taiwei Man Chong's house who was fortunately sick at home, and asked him if he had any countermeasures.But I didn't want to. Before the car started to drive, someone came to ask for it.

They are all people who have not reached the official position and are not old, such as Sima Shi, Xia Houxuan, and Wang Ji, who are the regular servants of Sanqi.

And rather rare, their views are roughly the same.

They all claim that at this time, the trade with Jiangdong should be increased by making a small profit, so that the officials and people on both sides can continue to maintain harmony, so that the soldiers and horses from Jingxiang and Huainan can be brought into the pass.

Yes, even though the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Luoyang Central Army had already settled in Guanzhong and were still adopting defensive tactics, they still felt that they should increase their troops.

As for whether Jiangdong is willing to live in harmony~
It doesn't matter.

The rebellion in Linhe County in Jingnan has not yet been settled, and it will not be so easy to recover after the defeat of Shouchun. Even if he wants to join forces with Nishu to invade the bandits, he is powerless.

Furthermore, although Wei State was defeated by Nishu, how could the mere thief Wu Shang not be able to defeat it? !

They feel that Sun Quan, who has always been aware of current affairs, will definitely make the best choice.

With so many soldiers and horses entering Guanzhong, how to deal with food, fodder and military resources, their suggestion is to draw on the benefits of salt and iron in Hedong County to support them, and ask Cao Rui to set an example to reduce the prohibition of the palace, so that local officials and officials can follow suit and go to the country together. .

In this regard, Cao Rui accepted almost all of them.

Because their advice almost coincides with Cao Rui's own thinking.

The only difference is that he also intends to slightly reform the nine-rank official system, and transfer the power of discussing talents for the country to the aristocratic and powerful families a little bit.

In order to win the support of these people.

Just like Wei Wen and Cao Pi also delegated a lot of power in order to proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

For the time being, he can't take care of disadvantages such as it's harder to stand out from the poor, and he can only choose to build momentum to win the appreciation of the powerful and powerful, and to attach himself to a family.What he is asking for now is to let these powerful families stabilize the prefectures and counties for the Wei state, so that the Wei state can go all out to resist the entry of the rebellious Shu into Guanzhong; the future matters will be discussed later.

With this in mind, Luoyang Temple quickly made plans to deal with the Mud Water War.

It was because there was nothing wrong with the Huainan front, so Sun Li, the governor of Yangzhou, was transferred to the army to conquer Shu, and supervised more than ten thousand Huaisi warriors to enter Guanzhong.

Wang Chang, the general who conquered the South in Jingzhou, returned to Nanyang Wancheng to rule the army. He told Sun Quan in the east of Jiangdong with practical actions that the Wei State would not take advantage of the rebellion in Jingnan to raise troops; Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, transferred to Shangyong County to garrison, and restored Weixing County (Xicheng) Set up troops and build a siege at Xunkou, intimidating against Shu Hanzhong County Golden siege, curbing the possibility of the Han army attacking Chang'an from the Meridian Valley, and relieving the defensive pressure in Guanzhong.

In addition, Pu Zhong, the general who was originally stationed in Xiangyang City, supervised [-] soldiers from the headquarters to enter the Guanzhong through Wuguan Road, and assisted Zuo Fengyi, the prefect Chen Ben, to guard the North Luoshui River Valley.

Huahedong County entered Yongzhou, with Chen Tai, who had just finished his funeral, as the governor, and took the benefit of salt and iron to support the Guanzhong army and other matters.

Chen Tai, courtesy name Xuanbo.

He is the son of Sikong and Gu Ming minister Chen Qun; and he is the grandson of Xun Lingjun (Xun Yu), who used to serve as a servant and guard Shangshutai in the past.With such an identity, and not lacking in both talents and learning, he will be able to care about people's hearts.

Yes, the defeated Guan Qiujian was transferred from Guanzhong.

Although Hu Zun was responsible for the defeat, and Xue Ti, who had a higher official position, was also responsible, but he could not escape the blame, but was transferred to Liaodong to serve as the prefect of Lelang.

It seems that the favor of two thousand stones is still unabated.

But everyone in the temples of the Wei Kingdom knew that he would have to stay in the borderlands for at least ten years before returning to the Central Plains.

The governor of Wuhuan Tuqi also ushered in a change.

With the deputy Qianhong as the main general, the original chief general Xia Houxian was transferred to Huainan to take over Sun Li's transfer: Wang Ling, the general who conquered the East, was old after all, and it was time to pre-select his successor.

Jingzhao, where Chang'an is located, also welcomes a new prefect, Zhang Ji.

His courtesy name is Jingzhong, and he was born in Zuo Fengyi, the son of Zhang Ji, a famous minister of Wei State.

Cao Rui appreciated his talents because of his military strategy and ability to reassure the people, and Zhang Ji was very prestigious in Yongliang during his lifetime, so he was transferred to Jingzhao to take up his post in order to reassure the hearts of the scholars in Guanzhong.

Xue Ti was sent back to Luoyang.

The person who succeeded him in guarding Qixian County in Xinping County and guarding the Jingshui River Valley was Wang Sheng who had returned from Yangcheng.

Wang Qi and Zhou Dang are deputy, and the combined force of the three is about [-].

This is Sima Yi's suggestion.

He felt that before Nishu began to attack Chencangcheng, Zheng Pu, who was currently stationed in Linjing County, would continue to go south along the Jingshui River Valley instead of turning to the North Luoshui River Valley to enter Zuo Fengyi.

Without him, the march from there is too far away, and the supply of food and fodder is difficult to last.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with his scheduling.

The Prime Minister has already written a letter to Zheng Pu, let him stop thinking about sending troops to make dangerous moves, so as to appease the affairs of the counties in the east of Longdong, and the whole army will perform martial arts.

Whether you like it or not, it is inevitable for a big man to enter the pass.

But Zheng Pu, who got the letter, has nothing to say.

Gein, even if he wants to make a risky move, he doesn't have the strength to do so.
