Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 266
Cao Pi finally sat on the throne he had dreamed of, but his life as a king did not seem to be as easy as he thought...

Wang Lang, the former imperial censor and Marquis of Anlingting, was appointed Sikong after Cao Pi became emperor.

At this time, he was holding up his hands and saying: "Your Majesty often goes out for hunting in autumn, and even returns to the palace in the middle of the night. Today, the Sun and Liu families still occupy the land of Jiangdong and Jingyi. The world is not yet settled. Your Majesty should not be so greedy for hunting."

Cao Pi looked impatient, "Of course I know that the world is uncertain, so why don't I come to you to discuss countermeasures?"
My father has fought all his life, so why can't I be happy now that I'm the emperor?What happened to hunting?

Of course, it is impossible to say this directly.

Cao Pi smiled and said: "I also know that the world is uncertain, so I call all the ministers to discuss it. The fun of hunting on weekdays will not interfere with state affairs..."

Before he could finish speaking, the attendant Xinpi stood up again.

"Hunting is very enjoyable for Your Majesty, but very painful for others."

Cao Pi: "..."

When he was the prince, he never thought that he would be subject to so many restrictions as the emperor, not even when he was the king of Wei.

Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, these ministers have been admonishing him one after another to correct his words and deeds, just like chicken blood.

If he said something inappropriate, he would be scolded for a long time. This is not being an emperor, but being a grandson.

"I won't go on frequent hunting trips in the future. If I go out for a trip, I should return early." Cao Pi waved his hand, too lazy to dwell on this kind of thing.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Lang and Simpi said in unison.

Then Wang Lang spoke again: "Your Majesty, the people have experienced many wars and life is very difficult. Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne. It is appropriate to reduce the prison sentence and support the young and weak, so as to help all the people recuperate and recuperate."

Cao Pi nodded: "According to your words, I will order the chief minister to discuss the matter and reduce the sentence as appropriate."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

If you all follow you, you are a sage, and if you don't follow you, you are a fool?
Cao Pi was angry in his heart, but kept it secret. After all, there were important matters to be discussed today.

There is no way you can stand in the way of this.

"I summoned your ministers to come today because we have important matters to discuss." Cao Pi calmed down his emotions and then said, "In today's world, Sun Quan is occupying Jiangdong and Liu Bei is crossing Jingyi. Both of them have the intention of helping me in the Central Plains. , we should send out troops to capture it as soon as possible to bring peace to the world."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at His Royal Highness Wenwu, and asked again: "However, both Jiangdong and Jingzhou have the danger of the Yangtze River, and Western Shu has the solidity of mountains. But I don't know what Qing and others think, where should I take it first?"

Simpi stood up again at this time: "Your Majesty, the new dynasty has just been established, so it is not appropriate to start a war rashly. Our great Wei Dynasty has experienced the defeats of Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Shangyong. Although the military strength has been restored, the burden on the people is heavy. We should not continue to raise troops and farm fields. , and people's livelihood.

"My Great Wei has a vast territory, and I only need to rest for ten years to feed enough soldiers. Then I will send troops south, how can Wu Shu resist?"

Cao Pi was unhappy when he heard this.

Ten years of rest?

I am the first emperor to ascend the throne in the Wei Dynasty!

As a result, he did nothing in the ten years after he ascended the throne and just rested here?What a joke!
What Cao Pi, who is young and powerful, wants to do is to make great achievements after ascending the throne, and be famous in history, which will be higher than that of his father!

At first Cao Cao was not optimistic about his son, but now he is eager to prove himself.

Let the world see that Cao Pi is a wise and mighty emperor.

Cao Pi, who was unhappy at first, immediately used the topic to explode: "You don't want to make progress, it's an outdated opinion! Now that the alliance between Sun and Liu is broken, if I don't take advantage of the situation, do I have to wait for them to unite again and frequently harass me?!"

People like Sima Yi and Jia Xu could tell what Cao Pi was thinking just by looking at his expression.

In fact, in their opinion, Xinpi's strategy is actually remarkable.

Wei State now has the largest territory and the most resources. Although it has suffered several defeats and seems to have suffered heavy losses, in fact it has almost replenished its resources.

Time is Wei's strongest reinforcement. The longer it takes, the greater their advantage.

The longer it is delayed, the less people will miss and regret the big man. Giving them a stable and prosperous life is the most important thing for ordinary people.

Although there is nothing wrong with the strategy, the problem lies in not looking at the target when mentioning it.

They also understand the overall situation, but they understand Cao Pi better...

Jia Xu is already over seventy years old and has no pursuit for a long time, but he only wants to have no fault. Therefore, he lowers his eyebrows and lowers his eyes at this moment, pretending not to hear the conversation in the court.

Sima Yi was only forty, and his official position was only Shangshu, so he was determined to make progress.

He took the initiative to stand up at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since there is a rift between Wu and Shu, it is better to send some eloquent people to lobby Liu Bei and invite him to send troops to attack Wu together. After the agreement is completed, the land of Wu will be divided equally.

"Your Majesty can give the several counties of Jingzhou to the west and the barren Jiaozhou to Liu Bei, and monopolize the richest Yangzhou. This may seem fair, but it is actually beneficial to your Majesty. Without Jiangdong, Liu Bei will be unable to survive alone. How can he last long?"

Cao Pi nodded slightly, this is also a feasible way.

"Your Majesty, the Jiangdong envoys request an audience, and want to submit a statement to His Majesty." While discussing, a guard outside the palace came to report.

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, Jiangdong surrendered?
Sun Quan surrendered?

What a coincidence, isn't it? It's great now. Don't worry about where to fight anymore. You don't even have to fight for the time being.As soon as he ascended the throne, Jiangdong surrendered. This would be very meaningful to be written into history books in the future.

Cao Pi was overjoyed: "Oh? Quickly send him to the palace!"

Jiangdong's envoy, Zhao Zi, then went to the palace and read out Sun Quan's flattering and disgusting surrender.

After reading and presenting the surrender form, Zhao Zi bowed and said: "My Lord heard that His Majesty has ascended the throne and cannot bear the suffering of the people in the world anymore. Now he sincerely surrenders to Wei. I hope that Your Majesty will appreciate my Lord's sincerity and treat the people of Jiangdong kindly."

Although he was happy in his heart, Cao Pi still wanted to test it.

Let's see if Sun Quan really surrendered, and secondly... if he is too weak, he can still send troops to take him, and never suffer from rebellion.

Cao Pi smiled and said: "Your lord is quite knowledgeable?"

This remark is meant to be ironic, but it is a satire of Sun Quan's classic articles and no achievements.

Zhao Zi held up his chest and said: "My lord has thousands of ships on the river, and millions of armors. He appoints talents and envoys, and is determined to have a strategy. Although he has some spare time, he has read extensively in books and history, borrowed and picked up strange things, and it is useless to search for chapters and extracts from them." Just a sentence."

This is a very clever answer. If Jingzhou is defeated and loses its troops and generals, Cao Wei will definitely know it.

Surrendering at this time, it is easy to think that it is to prevent the Wei army from marching south, so first blow the troops.

By the way, I also come back to Cao Pi's question. My lord Sun Quan has many soldiers and generals under his command. He is so busy that he still studies tirelessly whenever he has time. He just doesn't like to seek fame and fame like ordinary people.

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows after being tactfully dismissed. Unexpectedly, this man answered appropriately and had extraordinary courage. Although he was speaking up and down, he was not servile.

Cao Pi asked again: "Can Jiangdong be conquered?"

Zhao Zi smiled and replied: "The Wei Dynasty has troops to conquer, and Jiangdong is well prepared for defense."

"Is Jiangdong difficult for Wei?"

Does this mean that Jiangdong is afraid of Wei?

"With a million men in armor, and Jiang and Han as pools, why is it so difficult?" Zhao Zi showed no fear at all, as if he was not afraid of Cao Pi attacking in anger.

Anyway, you won’t have to pay taxes if you brag, just brag.

Naturally, Cao Pi would not believe in the theory of wearing armor worth millions, but looking at Zhao Zi's completely unafraid attitude, he could not figure out the reality of Jiangdong for a while.

If you conquer Soochow by yourself, it's okay if you win, but if you lose...it's not glorious after all.

It would be safer to accept Sun Quan's surrender...

Thinking of this, Cao Pi asked: "How many people in Jiangdong are like doctors?"

"There are eight or ninety smart people in the world, who are as good as ministers, and their carriage capacity is innumerable."

Cao Pi nodded: "Doctor has been working hard all the way. Here, let's take Dr. Zhao to rest temporarily in the post house."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the envoys retreated, Cao Pi said cheerfully: "What do you think, gentlemen?"

Liu Ye, who had been promoted to the rank of servant, came out and raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I thought Sun Quan asked to surrender, but in fact I lost my army and generals in Jingzhou and was defeated by Xi Shu. My strength has not recovered to this day, so I have no choice but to do it. I don't mean it. I agree. Sima Zhongda's brilliant plan."

Cao Pi waved his hand disapprovingly: "Well, since Sun Quan has come to ask for surrender, he should be polite. If instead of refusing to accept it, he sends troops to attack him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of those who want to surrender?"

"This……"

Before Liu Ye could say anything more, Tingwei Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty, most of our country has been pacified just now. Sun Quan's surrender should be a shock to His Majesty's power. I don't think he has any intention of fisting. Two hearts, because I know that the fireflies cannot compete with the bright moon."

Cao Pi smiled and said: "This statement is very suitable for me! Xing Taichang."

Taichang Xingzhen came out and held his hands: "I am here."

"I now order you to send an envoy to Soochow to worship Sun Quan as the general, to confer the title of King of Wu, and to add Jiuxi." After speaking, Cao Pi looked at the ministers and said, "This matter does not need to be discussed further."

Xing Zhen was dumbfounded: "...Huh?"

Cao Pi glared: "Huh?"

"Ah, yes, Your Majesty."

Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Liu Ye: "..."

Several people looked at the delighted Cao Pi with their mouths open.

It doesn't matter if you accept the surrender or promote him to an official position. Anyway, he can't command the troops of Wei, and we can't pay him a salary.

The question is, why do you want to confer him the title of King of Wu and add Jiuxi? !
Sun Quan wants to conquer the world, but what he lacks most is his identity!
Even with the extraordinary ingenuity of a few people, they still can't figure out what the Emperor of Wei is thinking at this time...
