Shuhan

Chapter 181 Sima offered a plan, capture the thief first and capture the king first!

"These are all obedient, but how many are disobedient and have not joined the business alliance?"

Xu Shu said slowly: "There are ten companies that can be admitted to the Hall of Elegance, and there are even more for those who are powerful and powerful."

Although Liu Chan's prestige in Nanyang is high now, it has not really reached the level of universal response.

This time, he hosted a banquet in Wancheng, killing chickens to warn monkeys, using the head of Beixiang Hou Ren'an, coupled with the lure of huge profits from the business alliance, this has achieved the current results.

But there are still more cautious gentry.

"Mingjian Military Commander has found out the situation of these ten families, whether there is corruption and perverting the law, and whether there are hidden populations."

The vast majority of people have joined the business alliance, but you don't?

Caution may be an excuse, but this excuse alone cannot convince Liu Gongsi!

In the future, if you want to make an example of others, don't you use your ten families as a knife?

Then who will take the knife?

"promise!"

Xu Shu immediately took the order.

Among the gentry, how many are clean?
On weekdays, domineering in the village, hiding people, corrupting the law with corruption, that's standard!
You can check any gentry at will, and they all have this problem!

No matter how good the tutoring is, the branches and leaves are scattered, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, it is too difficult for the gentry to clean up!

Your Highness is trying to establish prestige again!

Pull a batch, hit a batch.

Most of the gentry in Nanyang have already been united by His Highness.

These ten families refused His Highness's invitation, and His Highness took action against them, and the other gentry had nothing to say.

After all, at this time, they were wearing the same pair of pants as Liu Chan.

"Although it's winter now, the business that needs to be done can start. Let's give these gentry some sweets to eat first. I can give them another month for the ten gentry!"

If you see the benefits and don't attach them?

Then don't blame him Liu Gongsi!

You gentry want to be alone?

I, Liu Chan, understand.

But since Nanyang County is under the control of my Liu Gongsi, he will absolutely not allow anyone who disobeys him.

If these ten gentry families are not dealt with, other gentry families will follow suit, so what?
It's okay in normal times, but in wartime, these ten gentry families may become the factor of chaos in Nanyang!
Regardless of whether it is out of public interest or selfishness, Liu Chan will not let them go easily for these ten families!

"I will arrange it now."

The two talked about some details of the business alliance, and Xu Shu found an excuse and left.

After Xu Shu left, a gentle body leaned against Liu Chan.

"Your Highness, would you like to share the same table with my concubine?"

Good guy!
Isn't this Boss Cao's line?

Liu Chan held the beauty's slender hand and joked, "You are so brave!"

When this woman took the initiative, she simply didn't have anything to do with a man.

Especially this milf!

"There is still a bigger place on this concubine's body. Doesn't Your Highness want to find out?"

Compared with Guan Yinping's pure and hot style.

A mature woman like Zhen Mi, who cannibalize people without spit out bones, offered her goodbyes and hugs, which was really hard to refuse.

Next, it was a battle with both hands and mouth.

Liu Gongsi did what he said, and within three months, he would never eat Zhen Mi.

As for how the beauty vents her anger, that's up to her.

Luoyang.

In Wei Palace.

At this moment, Wei Wang Cao Pi, of course, does not know that his wife Zhen Mi is having fun under Liu Chan.

Even if he knew, he was not in the mood at the moment.

Cao Pi was exhausted physically and mentally after transporting Cao Cao's coffin all the way to Luoyang.

In addition, there was chaos in the land of Qingxu, Hefei Jiangdong Sun Quan wanted to raise troops, Huang Xuer Cao Zhang led troops from Guanzhong to "King Qin", Liu Xuande of Hanzhong spied on Guanzhong, and Prince Liu Gongsi of Jingzhou Hanzhong secretly planned a business alliance.
All these piles, one by one, really messed him up.

"My lord, the former king passed away. Ba Suo's troops and Qingzhou soldiers thought that the world would be in chaos, so they all beat their drums and went away. There was a change in the Qingxu land, and General Wenyuan also cut off his supplies in Hefei for a while. Jiangdong Sun Quan was eyeing him covetously, and almost attacked Hefei. meaning."

These things are always connected.

If the state of Wei is settled down, Sun Quan in Jiangdong will never dare to attack, and Liu Bei in Hanzhong will spy on Guanzhong, and he will not be afraid, but there is chaos in the state of Wei!

The fact that Qingzhou soldiers went away without permission made Cao Pi think of an allusion:
During the Western Han Dynasty, drumming also occurred in Zhou Yafu's army.At that time, Zhou Yafu's purpose was to inform the princes and expand their influence.

By analogy, Qing Xu's soldiers beating the drums may also be announcing to the world that the world will be in chaos.

When Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, how could the world be in chaos?
It should be peace in the world!

"Everyone thinks that the land of Qingxu is in turmoil, how should I deal with it?"

Facing the mutiny, Cao Pi, the ruler of Cao Wei, was naturally very flustered.

This is a consideration of Cao Pi's political ability. If it fails, there may be real chaos; if it succeeds, Cao Pi will be able to subdue this group of Qingxu forces like his father Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty."

In the hall, the middle-aged scribe with a wat board slowly stepped forward.

This person has the appearance of a wolf, and can turn his face backwards, but his body shape remains the same.

If not Sima Zhongda, then who?
When he was in Kunyang that day, he escaped from death and survived by defiled himself, so as to escape and save his life.

In less than two months, he finally got his head out.

Wei Wang passed away!
He immediately wrote a letter to Cao Pi to offer a plan, and the latter recruited him into the shogunate as he had imagined.

Since he was specially recruited, Sima Zhongda did not show any difference from ordinary people, how could this be worthy of Cao Pi's kindness?
"Does Zhong Da have a plan?"

Holding the wat board in his hand, Sima Yi nodded lightly, narrowing his eyes, and immediately said: "Fang's funeral is in progress, and the heir has not yet been established, so it is appropriate to caress him."

At this time, Cao Cao had just passed away, and his internal situation was unstable, so it was not suitable to mobilize troops immediately.

Cao Pi nodded slightly, which actually coincided with his thoughts.

Although there is turmoil in the land of Qingxu, judging from the news from the land of Qingxu, it is just a strong and self-reliant one.

Let them know that the world is not chaotic, and the Wei country is still stable, calm down, and the chaos will resolve itself.

of course
The chaos is solved, but if the land of Qingxu is as obedient as his father Cao Cao when he was alive, it depends on Cao Pi's ability and skills.

"Since this is the case, I will serve as a long-term report to give him granary food. We will be grateful that he does not know the situation and will not pursue his faults."

Issued a call to appease the Qingxu soldiers, and then distributed them food to appease their mood.

The first is to fight against the enemy, the second is to fight against the enemy, and the second is to attack the city.

If you can avoid wars, it is better not to fight!

"Your Majesty Yingming."

Sima Yi hurried forward to compliment Cao Pi.

"I don't need to say more about the compliments. As for the matter of Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Gongsi's business alliance in Nanyang, in the Kingdom of Wei, if someone wants to collude with him and do business for him, how do we deal with it?"

In Cao Pi's mind, Liu Bei in Hanzhong is indeed an enemy, and Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong is also an enemy.

But in his heart, there is only one enemy.

That is Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong in Jingzhou!
of course
There is naturally a bit of personal grievance in it.

His wife was robbed, do you think he is angry?

Cao Pi always sent people from the school affairs office to Nanyang to inquire about news and pay attention to Liu Chan's movements.

If there is any disturbance, you must report to him!

The matter of the business alliance is going on in Nanyang vigorously, and the secret agents of the school affairs office don't need to investigate much to know the situation.

"Liu Gongsi's business alliance is only beneficial. As long as the main roads are strictly controlled and no business travelers are allowed to enter and leave, it will be difficult to understand. Why do you need to worry?"

Cao Hong didn't care about it.

Doing business is the cheapest, every businessman is soft-boned, easy to deal with!
Merchants must follow the commercial road. If the commercial road is blocked, how do they do business?

It's hard to understand!

Cao Pi was not satisfied with Cao Hong's answer.

"My country of Wei also has business travellers. If the commercial roads are blocked, domestic business travellers will not be able to do business?"

"Then just don't allow Jingzhou business travelers to pass."

Cao Pi said angrily: "Then Liu Gongsi is very cunning, when he pretends to be a businessman from Yuzhou and Xuzhou, how can you argue?"

"This"

Cao Hong frowned, for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

He originally thought that this matter could be resolved very simply, but after hearing Cao Pi's words, he knew that it was not a simple matter to cut off the trade route of Liu Gongsi's business alliance.

"Then Liu Gongsi contacted the domestic tycoons earlier, and the most contacted ones are the tyrants from the land of Qingxu. To deal with Liu Gongsi, you have to deal with the tyrants of the land of Qingxu. This matter is not that simple."

Cutting off people's wealth is tantamount to killing their parents.

Cao Pi naturally knows the way of business travel and the amount of money that can be earned.

This is also where he is in trouble.

To attack Liu Chan's business alliance is to fight against the power of Qingxu Land!
But now, he wants to appease the tyrants of Qingxu Land.

But not deal with?

Wouldn't it be better to just sit back and watch Liu Gongsi make profits through the business alliance?
Even transporting food, ironware, war horses and other military supplies from the country of Wei?

With the strength of the Wei State, the enemy is only exchanged for five baht.

He, Cao Pi, can't stand this grievance!
"My lords, do you have a plan to defeat that child's plan?"

That Prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong is really too cunning!

If he doesn't want to find a way to stop his conspiracy, can he lose his anger?

"If you want to deal with the Merchant Alliance, you should first deal with the tyrants in the Qingxu Land. If the disobedient people in the Qingxu Land can be suppressed, the matter of Liu Gong's heir to the Merchant Alliance will be easily resolved."

Is the business alliance of the crown prince of Hanzhong difficult to deal with?
Not difficult!

It's just that he took advantage of the tyranny of the Qingxu land in Wei State, which made Cao Pi be afraid.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple to deal with the tyrants of Qingxu Land."

Cao Pi is also thinking about how to deal with the tyranny of Qingxu Land.

"The minister has a plan, but... he can only talk to the king alone."

Sima Yi stepped forward mysteriously and said at this moment.

Have a plan?
Do you want to report it alone?

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi who was bowing his head, nodded slightly, and said, "That's good."

He looked around at His Highness and said, "Since you have a plan?"

Cao Pi asked, but His Royal Highness' counselor did not speak.

He frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "If you have no plan, just retreat."

"promise."

The rest of the ministers and workers resigned one after another, leaving only Cao Pi sitting on the throne and Sima Yi standing in the hall of Wei Palace.

"Zhongda, now that everyone is gone, you can tell your plan."

Holding the wat board in his hand, Sima Yi immediately said, "It's not difficult for your majesty to deal with the tyrants of Qingxu land."

Not difficult?

Cao Pi's eyes lit up.

"The land of Qingxu has tens of thousands of powerful troops. If they rise up, they can bring out [-] soldiers. Is it not difficult to deal with this force?"

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. As long as the king captures Zang Ba and controls Zang Ba, the rest of the mighty powers in Qingxu Land will have nothing to fear. At that time, they will not dare to rebel if they are allowed to be manipulated by the king!"

Catch the thief first to catch the king?
After Cao Pi heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help clapping his hands.

"That's right, to capture the thief first, capture the king, why didn't Gu think of that before?"

There is an old saying in China that goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king".

To eliminate this Qingxu force, Cao Pi naturally wanted to eliminate the leader of this Qingxu force, and this leader was Zang Ba.

Zang Ba has been running Qingxu for a long time, his power is deep-rooted, and he is also a veteran of Cao Wei.

If Cao Pi pushes too hastily, it will inevitably arouse Zang Ba's resistance and various opinions from veteran officials in the court.

Capture the thief first and capture the king, this strategy is good.

But how to implement it is a problem.

"Then how can we catch Zang Ba?"

Zang Bayuan was in Xuzhou, with tens of thousands of soldiers.

Can he really make Zang Ba obey with a king's order?
If Zang Bazhen was so easy to deal with, Cao Pi would not have to worry about the rebellion in the land of Qingxu.

Sima Yi smiled lightly. He dared to offer advice, so he naturally had a plan in his heart and a gully in his chest.

"Don't worry, my lord. Capture Zang Ba. This matter is easy. The minister's strategy can be roughly divided into three steps. First, divide Zang Ba's power, then transfer Zang Ba out of his old nest Xuzhou, and then seize Zang Ba's military power in one fell swoop."

"Then how to do these three steps?"

Seeing Sima Yi's appearance of winning, Cao Pi simply sat upright and came to listen to Sima Yi's specific strategy.

"The first step is to divide the power of Zang Ba. In the spring of the next year, the king can say that he will attack Soochow, so he transferred the clan to the Qingxu area to prepare for attacking Wu.

The king can seal his relatives as the governor of Qingxu and order him to take charge of military affairs in the Qingxu area to prepare for the destruction of Wu.

In this way, Zang Ba and others thought that the king came to destroy Wu, but they didn't know that the king had placed the governor of Qingxu on top of their heads to control and destroy them. "

Using the extermination of Wu as an excuse?

Sima Yi's words behind him also came out slowly.

"The second step is to transfer Zang Ba out of Xuzhou. Since the goal is to destroy Wu, it is natural to mobilize Qingxu troops, and let Zang Ba act as one of the main forces in this battle."

"The third step is to seize Zang Ba's military power. At this time, Zang Ba has left his hometown Xuzhou, and it can be said that he is in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Regardless of whether Zang Ba wins or not, the king can take the opportunity to take away Zang Ba's military power under the pretext of coming to Zang Ba's army to reward the army. "

"After the incident of seizing soldiers, Zang Ba was taken to live in Luoyang, and he was not allowed to return to Xuzhou for the rest of his life. In this way, there may still be turmoil in the land of Qingxu, but this turmoil is just a small one, and the king can destroy it with a snap of his fingers!"

After hearing Sima Yi's strategy, Cao Pi couldn't help applauding, and he said emphatically: "If Zhongda's strategy is followed, the land of Qingxu will be in turmoil, which can be settled in an instant!"

Kill Wu?

There is an excuse at this time!

This Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou is gathering troops in Lujiang County to prepare for the attack on Hefei!

He summoned Zang Ba to attack Wu, and he would not be suspicious.

If this plan succeeds.

The turmoil in the land of Qingxu can be eradicated, so can Liu Gongsi's conspiracy of the business alliance!
"Zhongda is bright and wise, and just broke Yingte, which is beyond the reach of Gu."

Before Cao Cao died, his father told him that Sima Zhongda should not be reused about the three-horse trough.

But Cao Pi doesn't use such a talent, isn't this a waste?
Three horse troughs?

snort!
As long as he Cao Zihuan is around, Sima Zhongda will be the minister of his Wei State, serving his Cao family from generation to generation!
"Your Majesty is absurd. In fact, the policy of the subordinates is just to express what the King thinks in his heart. I dare not take credit for it."

Seeing Sima Yi's compliment, Cao Pi just laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! Zhongda, between you and me, there is no need to be like this. I entrust you as the Marquis of Hejin Ting, and transfer to the prime minister's history. You don't need to report to the palace to be stabbed in the face and offer advice for the orphan."

Fenghou!

Appointed the post of prime minister and long history?
Prime Minister Chang Shi is a senior official who mainly assists the prime minister in managing documents and other affairs, with a rank of Qianshi.

Qin Shi was an official of the prime minister. For example, Li Si once served as the chief historian, which was equivalent to the secretary-general of the prime minister.After the Han Dynasty, he became a general subordinate officer and the chief of staff.

Such an appointment shows how much Cao Pi values ​​him!

Sima Yi immediately knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and bowed again.

"Your Majesty is so trustworthy, the ministers will be heartbroken to repay your kindness!"

At this moment, Sima Yi's heart was full of joy.

Cao Mengde?
You don't want me to be an official?
Want me to hide in the mountains?
My Sima Zhongda can be an official by himself!
loyal minister?

If Cao Pi treats me like a national scholar, I will treat him as a national scholar!

If not, Sanma Manger!
I, Sima Yi, made him a reality!
