Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 249 Discussing the quarrel between scholars in Northern Jing and Wei Dynasty (66 pursuit)

Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Liu Ye arrived first. Seeing Cao Pi's face looking angry, they didn't know what Cao Pi was angry about, so they each stood silently.

Waited for half an hour.

The seventy-seven-year-old Jia Xu arrived belatedly.

At such an advanced age, Jia Xu is still full of energy.

Apparently, Jia Xu's daily life of cultivating his health without anxiety made him live a long life.

Just when the car arrived in front of the main hall, Jia Xu's eyes instantly turned from bright and bright to cloudy, as if he had presbyopia.

Even when he gets out of the car and walks, he has to be supported by his eldest son Jia Mu.

Seeing Jia Xu's appearance, Cao Pi's anger disappeared again.

After holding back for a moment, Cao Pi changed his words and said, "Jia Taiwei, I summoned you today to ask about something."

"I intend to choose a concubine for the King of Pingyuan. The daughter of the Yu family, a wealthy family in Hanoi, is quite virtuous and should be a good match."

Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Liu Ye all looked at Cao Pi in shock.

You summoned four of me early in the morning just to choose a concubine for Pingyuan King Cao Rui?

Your Majesty, do you think I am just here for fun?

Jia Xu was neither surprised nor surprised, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

"The King of Pingyuan is a dragon and a phoenix among men. It's time to choose a concubine."

"The veteran also believes that the daughter of the Yu family, a wealthy family in Hanoi, is quite virtuous and can be a good match for the king of Pingyuan."

This old fox.

Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Liu Ye came up with a word one after another.

What virtuousness?
Do you know how old the Yu girl is, what her appearance and conduct are like?

Your Majesty really dares to say it, and you dare to agree with it?

Cao Pi laughed loudly: "What the Taiwei said makes sense!"

"I, Zhongda and others still have some government affairs to discuss, so I won't disturb the Lieutenant."

"Captain Jia, please take the prince back to his residence and take good care of him."

Although Jia Mu's expression remained unchanged, his heart was already in turmoil.

what's the situation?
Does this kind of thing require a call from the Huangmen?
Jia Xu thanked the emperor for his kindness, then tugged on Jia Mu's sleeves and left the hall tremblingly.

It wasn't until he got on the carriage that Jia Xu's eyes regained their clarity and his body stopped shaking.

Jia Mu looked at Jia Xu who changed his face in shock: "Father, what on earth is going on?"

Jia Xu's eyes were bright: "Don't ask too much, it's not a good thing anyway; sometimes, knowing less can help you live longer."

"Go home quickly."

In the main hall.

Cao Pi's face returned to a sulky look again, and he said in a deep voice, "You must be wondering why I summoned the Taiwei to only ask Prince Pingyuan about choosing a concubine."

"I will tell you the current situation: Guan Yu in Jingzhou has raised his troops for the Northern Expedition!"

"Sun Quan's son from Jiangdong, I think too highly of him."

"Jiangxia County has been robbed by Guan Yu, and he is actually a coward in Jianye!"

"We even arrested a large number of alchemists who were forging auspicious signs and killed them in the name of deceiving the public with their evil words."

"Now Guan Yu is raising troops in Xiangyang, claiming that a hundred thousand people are vowing to take Luoyang."

"The thief bullied me too much!"

Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Liu Ye's expressions changed.

Liu Ye even secretly exclaimed: No wonder His Majesty suddenly asked Pingyuan King to choose a concubine just now, because he was afraid of hurting the Taiwei.

If the Taiwei becomes seriously ill because of this news, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Liu Ye more or less used himself to save others.

Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Liu Ye, Jia Xu lived seventy-seven, Sima Yi lived seventy-three, and Chen Qun lived eighty-four.

Liu Ye was the shortest, living only fifty-five years.

Just now they didn't understand the reactions of Jia Xu and Cao Pi. When Cao Pi said this, Sima Yi and Chen Qun instantly understood. Don't look at it, Jia Xu doesn't seem to have much time left, it's all just an act!

While secretly admiring Jia Xu, Sima Yi also guessed what Sun Quan was thinking: "Your Majesty, Sun Quan is as timid as a rat. He will hide in the rat hole as soon as there is any disturbance."

"He must have seen that Guan Yu's army was strong and knew that it was difficult to make an enemy; so he chose to abandon Jiangxia County and show his favor to Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei has always been interested in wooing Sun Quan, and he even went so far as to violate the ancestral precepts of the Han family and make Sun Quan king."

"It's just that I think that although this plan didn't take full credit, it also made Sun Quan hate Liu Bei more."

"So I think Sun Quan will not raise troops in Jiangdong to respond to Liu Bei like last year."

"Even if they respond, they won't do their best."

"Liu Bei frequently used troops in Yongliang. The division veterans were exhausted and lacked food and grass. It was difficult for him to raise troops to respond to Guan Yu."

"Guan Yu's northern expedition alone will not last long."

"Just order the generals in the north of Jing to guard the city passes and retreat naturally when their supplies are exhausted."

Sima Yi carefully reviewed the current situation and did not panic.

The greatest advantage of the Wei Dynasty is that it has many soldiers and generals.

What about wheel battles?
During the battle between Yongliang and Liang, the troops and horses in Jingbei did not consume much.

Cao Pi was unwilling to give in: "Want to defend again? This year Guan Yu will attack, next year Liu Bei will attack, and the year after that Guan Yu will attack again."

"How can the Wei Dynasty make a truce to support its people if it goes on like this?"

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Guan Yu and Liu Bei are good at fighting. This is an indisputable fact!"

"If your Majesty insists on fighting with Liu Bei's army, he will not be able to show his ability if he wins with a large number of enemies. If he loses, he will lose his authority."

"This is a thankless job!"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember how Yuan Shao was defeated by the late Emperor?"

Cao Pi was silent.

As a party with vested interests, Cao Pi naturally knew how Yuan Shao was defeated.

If Yuan Shao had not insisted on marching south, he would not have been defeated in Guandu.

As long as the truce is maintained to support the people, the victory can be guaranteed, and Cao Cao is forced to complete the counterattack.

"Guan Yu is not a fool. He knows that we can win with certainty as long as we stick to it. Why does he want to go to the north?"

"What's more, if you defend it for too long, you will lose it."

"Zhongda, you must be cautious."

Liu Ye put forward a different idea.

Cao Pi's silent heart was stirred again: "Zi Yang's words are not unreasonable."

"General Cao Ren is quick-tempered and irritable. If he falls into Guan Yu's tricks and we fail to respond, it could easily lead to disaster."

"Zi Yang, what's your clever plan?"

Liu Ye suggested: "The general of the upper army (Cao Zhen) can be allowed to garrison Yishui, which can not only prevent the rebels in Luhun, Liang and other places from responding to Guan Yu again, but also provide timely response to the war in Nanyang."

Sima Yi frowned: "The rebels in Lu Hun, Liang and other places can be conquered by a county captain, so why bother asking the general of the upper army to mobilize troops?"

"Although Guan Yu claims to have a hundred thousand troops, the number of troops he can use will not exceed 50,000."

"With 50,000 troops to lead 100,000 troops from Jingbei, you already have all the advantages. If you make Luoyang's soldiers and horses tired for this, how can your majesty make a truce to support the people?"

Liu Ye argued with reason: "That being said, Wuguan has been captured by Liu Bei."

"If Liu Bei takes the opportunity to enter Nanyang through Wuguan, how can the general stop him?"

"At that time, if we go to Luoyang to mobilize troops to support us, water from far away will not be able to quench our thirst nearby."

"If Nanyang is lost, Luoyang will become a place for trapped animals!"

Seeing that Sima Yi and Liu Ye had different opinions, Cao Pi suddenly felt very worried: If he had known better, he would not have allowed the Taiwei to leave.

Although Jia Xu's prediction was wrong, the proposal at that time was approved by Cao Pi, Sima Yi and others.

No one expected that Sun Quan would be as timid as a mouse. He would rather lose Jiangxia County than become Liu Bei's enemy.
