Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 654
The Jiangdong Assassin case was solved by Lei Ting, and the northern regions were indeed stable again, but the interests left by the Sima family still had vacancies, and the various forces continued to suppress Sima Yi in the process of fighting for it.

Sima Yi's good friend Chen Qun saw that the situation was not good, worried that Sima Shi and Sima Zhao would be persecuted, so he went to Cao Pi and complained: "Your Majesty, the bones of Zhongda's whole family are not cold, and now there are still people pouring dirty water on him. This matter should end here." , just based on Zhongda's past achievements, he wouldn't be treated like this."

"Changwen (Chen Qun) let's go back, I'm alone to find a way, don't worry"

Cao Pi sent Chen Qun away and immediately called the old fox Jia Xu into the palace.

During this period of time, Jia Xu saw the tense situation in Wei, but never said anything, because he secretly felt that it was related to the Cao clan, and furthermore, it was involved in the struggle between the major noble families, so he didn't want to go into this muddy water.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" Jia Xu pretended not to know.

Cao Pi stepped down from his seat, came to Jia Xu enthusiastically, grabbed his hand and said: "The Taiwei has always had a plan, and now the political situation is turbulent, and it will not benefit the Wei State in the long run. Why don't you offer a plan to Gu?"

"Er, let me think about it." Jia Xu originally thought it was Cao Pi who killed the donkey. After observing for such a long time, he realized that there must be someone else. After thinking about it, it might be other important ministers. Hi, the style of genocide is also in line with the habits of the old boss.

"Now it's not Zhongda's problem. Some people use this incident to provoke courtiers to confront each other. Isn't this the Taiwei's way of dealing with Liu Bei? How could it appear in the court of Wei State?" Cao Pi's political cultivation has also improved, and he knows that it is not Jia Xu who is here. Participating in it, saying this deliberately is to prevent him from prevaricating.

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly bowed his watch heartfeltly: "This matter has nothing to do with the old ministers. The secret works sent to Jingzhou and Yizhou are all selected by the king himself. It is absolutely impossible for them to incite the courtiers."

"I know it's impossible, I just played with the Taiwei just now, but you have to teach me how to break the game." Cao Pi frowned.

Jia Xu nodded and said good guy, the king in front of him is no longer what he used to be, it seems that he has to face it squarely, he twisted his beard and analyzed: "I heard that the sheep died on the grassland, and the blood will immediately attract the wolves to share the food. , Of course, there are also snakes, insects, rats and ants, if we want to restore the tranquility of the grassland, we can only wait for the sheep to be eaten."

"But I don't know who to eat meat, I don't like being forced to make a decision." Cao Pi frowned.

Jia Xu replied: "Your Majesty, you can distribute it evenly for the time being, and then redistribute it after you think about it. If you don't like one of them, you might as well reward him with the whole sheep. He may not be able to eat it, but the contradiction will never change." You have moved out here"

"Wonderful, the Taiwei is really the chief planner." Cao Pi praised the case.

Although Jia Xu offered a plan to get away, Cao Pi's actions made him feel bad. He thought he would weaken the gentry through this matter, but in the end, most of the Sima family's power was vacant, and he was assigned to the close subjects of the guard general Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was one of Cao Cao's Tuogu ministers, and after Xiahou Dun's death, he was the only important military minister among the three remaining. Cao Pi directly blocked those sons of noble families who had ideas.

The matter of the Sima family's extermination finally subsided, but Cao Pi obviously felt that the cohesion of the courtiers was not high, so he called Liu Ye to ask for advice: "Zi Yang, when you were the first king, you had a lot of tricks, what can you do to help the lonely state of Wei?"

Liu Ye said without hesitation: "Since the king came to the throne, there have been many ups and downs in the court, and it is normal for the courtiers to be somewhat decadent. If you want to change this situation, why not try to launch a foreign war? Not only can it help the king establish prestige, but also divert the attention of the people and officials. "

Cao Pi was good at bowing horses when he was young, and he often went out with Cao Cao when he was young, so he was not afraid of war, and even had the ambition to dominate the world. At this time, Liu Ye aroused his desire, and he became interested instantly.

"The former king asked me to stabilize the frontier, recuperate and recuperate, and start a war rashly, which may be contrary to the former king's intentions. Besides, the country has just settled down, will there be any problems with the Daxing swordsman?" Cao Pi asked.

Liu Ye remonstrated and said: "It's not that the king wants to take the initiative to attack, but Sun Quan sent assassins to provoke. If you don't fight back, the world may laugh at you. Besides, when you ascended the throne as King Wei, Sun Quan didn't send anyone to congratulate you. It's time to give him some advice." Check out the color."

"Qing asked me to attack Jiangdong? But the navy in Xuanwuchi" Cao Pi wanted to say that the navy could not defeat Jiangdong.

"Last year, Sun Quan was defeated in Jingzhou, and his warships and navy suffered countless losses. Liu Bei was willing to give up after ceding E County. Now it is Jiangdong's weakness, and God has given the king the opportunity to send troops to show his prestige. If you can go, I can go too." Liu Ye clapped his hands and answered.

"It's a good one, 'If you can go, I can go'." Cao Pi slapped the table excitedly, and then came to his senses after being excited, "Uh, a small number of soldiers cannot suppress Sun Quan, but if troops are transferred from Yongliang, Guanzhong, and Nanyang, I'm worried that Liu Bei will take advantage of the situation."

Liu Ye nodded: "If we try our best to destroy Jiangdong, Liu Bei will definitely not sit idly by. Your Majesty only mobilizes the garrisons in Huainan and Xuzhou, but Liu Bei may not dare to send troops to contain them. You can rest and recuperate, if you can destroy Sun Quan this time, then you can destroy him, if you can't destroy Liwei."

"Zi Yang's words are very kind. Gu originally wanted to call Zhang Wenyuan to join the army, but now it seems that he is still allowed to defend Guan Yu in Nanyang. He ordered the general of chariots (Cao Ren) and general of Zhendong (Zang Ba) to gather in Shouchun. Gu wants to personally conquer Huainan I will meet Sun Quan." A stern look flashed in Cao Pi's eyes.

Cao Pi was thinking about becoming emperor in the Han Dynasty, and he happened to find some sense of presence in Sun Quan, so when he announced that he would send troops, no one in the court objected.

In August of the first year of Yankang, Cao Pi stayed in guard general Cao Hong to guard Yecheng.

The news of Cao Pi's dispatch of troops spread to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan urgently summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Because of the large amount of compensation, the people in Jiangdong who were plundered were full of grievances. Sun Quan was very speechless when he received the information, thinking that it would be fine if he was bullied by Guan Yu and Liu Bei.

When I was young, all the civil and military men in Jiangdong stood on the left and right of the hall, and everyone's face was dignified.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Quan said, "The national crisis is at hand, why don't you say a word?"

Gu Yong was the first to come out of the squad and replied: "My lord, if you are not a minister, don't say anything. Jiangdong has few soldiers and a shortage of money and food. It is really powerless to fight."

"What can I do? Are you waiting to be destroyed?" Sun Quan slapped the table angrily.

Gu Yong lowered his head, didn't stand up in time, but glanced at Xicao Kanze next to him.

Kan Ze knew how to straighten his body and walked into the hall, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the position of the governor has not been decided for a long time, Jiangdong's soldiers are not at ease, and some generals will come up with their own strategies to defeat the enemy."

Sun Quan frowned and closed his eyes, thinking that you are waiting for me here?
