Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 825

The Wei army could not form a joint force in Yongliang. Cao Zhen retreated to Anding County due to the supply of troops and food. Most of the counties under the jurisdiction of Sanfu were taken by Liu Bei.

Yongliang's military deterrence affected Luoyang, and there were rumors in Luoyang that Liu Bei was the real emperor, saying that Liu Xie originally wanted to pass the throne to his clan relative Liu Bei, but the ministers of Wei State forced him to abdicate to Cao Pi.

The rumors appeared in the form of nursery rhymes and street stories, and then the Yangtze River newspaper spread throughout the Central Plains. The newspaper once again denounced Cao Pi's wrong background, and his act of usurping the throne would be infamous for thousands of years. The Wei State could only passively ban the newspaper in various cities.

External confrontation has intensified and internal rumors are frequent.

Cao Pi was upset every day when he heard the report, and Jia Xu's condition had deteriorated in the past two months, so it was difficult for Cao Pi to find anyone to ask for advice.

One night in mid-May, Cao Pi was sitting lonely on the stone steps outside the hall with Cao Xiu's memorial in his hand, not in the mood to call a beauty to attend his bed.

Recently, Guan Yu moved all the troops east of Yushui to the west, stationed more than [-] elite troops of Guan Ping and Pang De in Xinye to threaten Wancheng, and the rest of Jingzhou's main force fought against Liu Feng, Huang Quan, and Meng Da's troops in Nanxiang. Cao Xiu, Xu Huang.

The Jingzhou Army is dominated by infantry, and its total strength is only [-]% of that of Cao Xiu's Army.

Guan Yu did not cause a disadvantage in the entire battle situation because of the inferior number of people. He concentrated the Jingzhou cavalry at Pang De, and cooperated with the Jingzhou navy to harass the Wei army's grain team for a long time. It made it impossible for Wei Jun to find the main force in Jingzhou for a decisive battle.

Cao Pi looked at the incomplete moon in the sky, and he missed the days when he followed Cao Cao to fight. Although Cao Cao was often defeated at that time, Cao Pi didn't have to bear such pressure at all. No matter what, Cao Cao will arrange it properly, just like when Cao Cao first broke through Yecheng, Cao Cao needed to reward the soldiers of the three armies and deal with those who should be killed, such as trial and appointment, but Cao Pi could enter Yuan's mansion first and take away the treasures that should have belonged to his father. The spoils of war (Zhen Ji).

"Sigh..." Cao Pi sighed towards the moon. When he was young, he had Cao Cao as his backer, but now he can't rely on anyone. The emperor's throne is really not for everyone.

"Your Majesty, Chen Lingjun is asking to see you outside the palace." The servant Gao Miao reported in a low voice.

"What is Changwen doing here late at night?" Cao Pi muttered and stood up, then ordered Gao Miao: "Send him into the palace."

"only."

Not long after, Chen Qun followed behind Gao Miao, walked quickly to the main hall and saluted.

"Is there something wrong with Changwen?" Cao Pi squinted his eyes halfway, as if he hadn't slept, and his voice was laziness.

"Wu Wang Sun Quan sent a plan to defeat the enemy, and the old minister Kui Ye came to disturb His Majesty." Chen Qun said and handed the secret letter to Gao Miao.

"Huh, Sun Quan can also offer advice? Although he pretends to be Zhongmou, he may not really have a plan, otherwise he would not have fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly. Changwen is a big fuss. It is late at night, so you should go home early. "Cao Pi shook his head lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Great Wei is currently at a disadvantage in Yongliang because of the stalemate in the war in Jingbei. To break Liu Bei's conspiracy, it may take a dangerous move, and Sun Quan's plan, I think it can break the game." Chen Qun Zhengse said.

"Oh? Xiao Gao, quickly show me." Cao Pi had to pay attention to this.

Gao Miao hurriedly handed over the letter. Cao Pi couldn't help but change his face when he saw the content on the paper. After reading it, he patted it on the table and stood up. Then he stared at Chen Qun and asked, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Although it's dangerous, it's not necessarily a solution." Chen Qun nodded slightly.

"The first emperor once said, 'Being a child should be like Sun Zhongmou'. If we were in the Taiping era, Sun Quan must be an outstanding person, but this strategy is too vicious, and he has no good intentions in doing so. If the Cao and Liu families lose in Jingbei, both will suffer. Soochow can continue to live on." Cao Pi snorted coldly.

Chen Qun reminded: "This plan is against the way of heaven. If you really want to use it, you must do it in secret. It must not be discussed by the court."

Cao Pi nodded lightly, "How can I not know such a simple truth? You go back to rest first, and I have to think carefully about it."

"Only other things" Chen Qun hesitated to speak.

"Say something quickly." Cao Pi stared at the other party with doubts on his face.

"Zhongda's two sons have lived in Jiangdong for several years, and the case of their family has been basically investigated. The Lu family has been completely wiped out now. Should the two children be brought back?" Chen Qun asked in a low voice.

"If I don't mention it in the long text, I almost forgot about it. What happened to those two children? Didn't they suffer in Jiangdong?" Cao Pi was very clear about the Sima family being punished. Although he didn't want the two disasters to come back, he didn't know what to do at this time To refute, I had no choice but to change the topic first.

"Sun Zhongmou is still taking care of him, let his confidant Yu Xiu take care of the adoption." Chen Qun looked relieved.

"Yu Xiu? I haven't heard of it." Cao Pi returned to his seat and sat down.

Chen Qun explained: "It is said that this person came from a poor family, but he married the daughter of the Zhang family in Jiangdong. He is currently the governor of the left department of Xiefanwei, and he has won the trust of Sun Quan."

"So that's the case." Cao Pi nodded as if he had suddenly realized, but he didn't continue the topic.

Chen Qun wanted to take Brother Sima back, so he went on to say: "Brother Sima was very young, so he was easily instigated by outsiders. It is easy for Sun Quan to control the two brothers, and it will not be good to become the enemy of Wei State in the future."

"Uh, that's the truth. I really want to take back Zhongda's orphan. It's just that the Central Plains is not peaceful now, and tens of thousands of soldiers have died from the epidemic. What if they catch the plague on the way back?" Cao Pi frowned and expressed embarrassment. Difficult.

"It's really impossible to make a detour? Sun Quan gave them a sign last month, but it seems that they are meant to be cultivated. Maybe it was because of the Huainan war that the number of staff was reduced too much." Chen Qun continued to fight.

"It's too troublesome to make a detour, right? I remember that the two children should not be weak. What did Sun Zhongmou say to them?" Cao Pi asked nonchalantly.

"It's like Marquis Wen and Marquis Wu, they are so straightforward." Chen Qun smiled leisurely.

"What word? Say it again in the long text." Cao Pi stood up excitedly as if he had been electrocuted.

Chen Qun looked at Cao Pi suspiciously, and repeated word by word: "Is there anything wrong with the writing of the article, the martial arts of martial arts, and the feudal lord?"

Marquis Wu appeared, and the gift Cao Cao left for Cao Pi before his death was said to be a virtuous official who could help the country in the prophecy. Unexpectedly, he could not visit him for several years, and it turned out to be the son of Sima Zhongda, and it was Sun Quanbiao's name.

"I thought about it just now. How could Zhongda's son stay in Wei Guoyang? You immediately send someone to contact Sun Quan and bring Brother Sima back to Luoyang." Cao Pi ordered excitedly.

"Uh, I will make arrangements immediately." Chen Qun didn't understand Cao Pi's changes, but he was very excited that his old friend's orphan was back.
