Soldiers come to the world

Zhuge Liang put on a piece of clothing and came to the outer hall, and saw a person sitting in the outer hall, about forty years old, with a clear appearance, wearing a blue cloth gown and a flat scarf on his head, Zhuge Liang saw that this person looked familiar, but he thought for a while Sorry about who he is, smiled and asked: "Excuse me for my blindness, but I forgot who is Mr.?"

The young man bowed and saluted, "Did Zhuge Gong forget me in Xialingling Liao Li?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered that this person was Liao Li, the military adviser of the Han army. When Liu Bei occupied Jingnan, Zhuge Liang had heard that this man was very intelligent, so he specially went to visit him, hoping that he could serve Liu Bei, but Liao Li did not. He refused to agree, and finally Zhuge Liang recommended him to Liu Jing, which gave Liao Li a chance to display his talents.

"It turned out to be Liao Gongyuan. I haven't seen you for many years. I have forgotten it. Shame! Shame!"

Zhuge Liang spoke politely, but his heart was somewhat vigilant, he knew that Liao Li was a high-ranking official in the Han army, he must have come here for something, Zhuge Liang invited him to sit down, and ordered his attendants to serve tea.

Liao Li sat down and bowed his body and said, "This time the Han army is going south, not wanting to harm the people of Jiaozhou, and try not to damage the spring farming in Jiaozhou."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "Now that the outcome has been decided and Jiaozhou has returned to Han, it's meaningless to talk about it. I don't think Liao Junshi will come to me for this."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liao Li indifferently, but his meaning was very clear. If you have anything to say, please speak directly without detours.

Liao Li smiled, "Mr. is really honest. I actually invited him to take up a post in Chang'an under the order of His Highness the King of Han. His Highness said that his biggest regret was that he didn't get his help back then."

Zhuge Liang said with a faint smile: "The king of Han has done a good job, he has already occupied most of the country, the soldiers are serving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If he had won Kongming back then, I am afraid that he would not have achieved what he is today. I think His Highness the King of Han should be lucky, why not Is it a pity?"

"Mr. Zhuge is too modest. The king of Han is indeed a great talent of Mr. Jing. At present, there is still one lack of seven ministers in the political affairs hall. It is just for the preparation. I hope that Mr. can put aside the past and work together for the revival of the great Han."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and the sarcasm on his face disappeared, and he also said to Liao Li very sincerely: "The King of Han's heart is admirable, please Gong Yuan tell His Highness the King of Han for me, Kong Ming thanked him for his sincerity, but Kong Ming assisted the emperor Uncle failed, has been disheartened, has no intention of official career, and plans to return to Long's hometown to work in agriculture, and will no longer meddle in political affairs."

Liao Li was stunned, "Sir, you are not yet forty, you are still young, why are you so decadent?"

"Everyone has his own aspirations, Gong Yuan doesn't need to persuade him anymore."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang would rather give up the position of prime minister and return to his hometown to work in agriculture, Liao Li was deeply moved, but seeing that Zhuge Liang was not speaking modestly and that he really did not want to serve the Han, he could only sigh in his heart, bid farewell to Zhuge Liang, and left in a hurry .

At this time, Zhuge Liang didn't want to go back to Panyu City either, so he ordered his followers to go back and tell his wife that he could pack up the things and take the children to join him in Sihui County, north of Panyu, and then return to Xiangyanglong together.

Five days later, Huang Yueying rushed to Sihui County with her two children, joined her husband Zhuge Liang, and under the protection of several entourages, the family rode north to Luling County and headed for their hometown Xiangyang.

Ten days later, Liu Bei led his family, wives and concubines, as well as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and dozens of high-ranking military officials and their families, boarded the warships of the Han army, and hundreds of warships left Panyu City and turned around to Lingdingyang. Depart for the long return journey.

In January of the 23rd year of Jian'an, half a year after Jiangdong was destroyed, the Han army took advantage of the victory and went south to contain the main force of the Jiaozhou army in the north.

The demise of Liu Bei's power means that the Han army has completely unified the south. In March, Liu Jing ordered the establishment of the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, appointed Liu Zheng, the leader of the Eagle Strike Army, as the Jiaozhou Governor, named Zhennan General, and led an army of [-] to station in Jiaozhi. Engaged in Liao Liwei's inspection of the Minister of the Ministry of War, the observation envoy of Jiaozhou, and the inspection of the counties of Jiaozhou

At the same time when the Han army perished in Jiaozhou, Cao Cao's implementation of the Dingling also encountered unprecedented resistance. Because the Dingling was only aimed at the gentry in various places, but the dignitaries of Cao Wei were lenient, which aroused great indignation among the gentry in various places. They protested strongly, and officials from various counties and counties resigned and resigned angrily. Yang Biao even appeared in Chang'an openly, calling on the former gentry to support Han.

All of a sudden, the news of the resignation of officials from various counties and counties came to Yedu like a flood. In Hebei alone, there were more than [-] officials who resigned. This is a mess.

This afternoon, Cao Pi couldn't bear it anymore, and came to Tongque Palace in a carriage. He wanted to persuade his father to slow down the order temporarily. Cao Pi got off the carriage and walked quickly into the palace gate.

When Chen Qun saw Cao Pi, he quickly pulled him aside, and said to him, "Wei Gong is in a bad mood now, it's best not to offend him."

Cao Pi was startled, "What happened?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Qun said in a low voice, "I just got urgent news that the Han army captured Panyu City, and Liu Bei surrendered to the Han army."

This news surprised Cao Pi. Why did Liu Bei perish without any sign?

"when did it happen?"

"Just over a month ago, news came from our investigation in Chang'an that Liu Jing established the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion."

Cao Pi felt a little strange, why didn't Yang Tian report this matter to himself, and directly reported it to his father, and he became a little annoyed again. Could it be that Yang Tian felt that his wings were hardened, and he didn't bother to report to himself?

Although Cao Pixin was angry with Yang Tian, ​​the news of Liu Bei's demise made him even more flustered. No wonder his father was angry.

Chen Qun persuaded him again: "Since Shi has already entered the palace gate, it is better to go and see Wei Gong, otherwise it will make Wei Gong even more unhappy."

Cao Pi understood what Chen Qun meant, his father must know that he came to the Tongque Palace, and he would definitely be angry if he didn't see him, so he nodded, "Thank you for the news Chen Cheng, I'll go see my father right away."

Cao Pi walked up the steps, and the guard went to report for him. After a while, the guard came out and said, "Duke Wei ordered Shi to go in."

Cao Pi stabilized his mind, adjusted his clothes, and then hurried into the inner palace, until he came to his father Cao Cao's official room.

"Duke Wei, the world has come."

"Let him in!" Cao Cao's unhappy voice came from the room, and he could be heard to be in a bad mood.

Cao Pi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the room, knelt down and saluted, "my son pays homage to father!"

'Snapped! With a sound, Cao Cao slammed a piece of information in front of him, angrily reprimanded: "Look at how your subordinates do things!"

Cao Pi trembled with fright, and lowered his head even more. Cao Cao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his chest heaving violently. The arrival of his son Cao Pi aroused the anger he had suppressed just now. Incident, Liu Jing actually attacked and destroyed Jiaozhou, and he didn't even know about it in advance.

This was a major strategic mistake. Jiaozhou was attacked and Liu Jing unified the south, but he fell into a passive position. It is only March, which means that by the end of this year or early next year, the Han army will complete its preparations for war and launch The war against Cao Wei.

Of course, Cao Cao was not angry that the Han army had won time to prepare for the war, but that their intelligence organization was incompetent. Such a major military operation was not discovered in advance. Did everyone in the Changan intelligence point eat shit?

Every time Cao Cao thought of this, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Ever since the Chang'an intelligence station got a record of Pingzhangtai's proceedings a few years ago, he has never made any achievements. The information he sent was all trivial matters. Not a single piece of top-secret information.

Cao Cao's fists slowly clenched, he must clean up the Chang'an intelligence station, and stop being so confused.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao slowly suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, returned to his seat and sat down, stared at him for a while, and then said coldly: "Get up!"

Cao Pi stood up slowly, his knees were a little numb, he didn't dare to rub, and stood aside with his hands down, Cao Cao snorted and said, "Do you know why I'm annoyed?"

"Boyer knows that it's because of the lack of intelligence. We only got the news when the Han army captured Jiaozhou. Boyer was also shocked."

"Chen Qun told you?"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao's expression softened a little, and he sighed, "It's only March, no! It should have been last month, when the Han army attacked Liu Bei. With such a rapid speed, is Liu Bei's army so unbearable?"

Cao Pi felt that his father's tone had softened, and he said a little boldly: "Father, the last time the Jiaozhou army was in the northern expedition, it was also defeated by the Han army in a short period of time. My child thinks that the root cause is that the Jiaozhou army is vulnerable."

"Perhaps there is a reason for this! The farther south the army is, the weaker its combat effectiveness is. However, the Jiaozhou army is fighting in the local area, with people and geographical advantages. If Jiaozhou was so easy to attack, the first emperor would not have allowed Zhao Tuo to lead 40 Qin troops. I think there must be something wrong with the army going south, and we must find out the real reason."

"The boy will send someone to investigate this matter, and within a month, he will definitely reply to his father."

Cao Cao shook his head, "If you can't find anything in a month, it will take at least three months. I won't give you a deadline for this matter, but you have to take it to heart and send the most capable men to investigate."

"The child understands."

Cao Cao let out a long breath. Jiaozhou was destroyed and Liu Bei surrendered. He had nothing to do. The key is how should he deal with this change and how should he adjust his strategy?

After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao said to his son: "The top priority is to adjust Chang'an's intelligence organization. I think our intelligence is very incompetent and weak, and we can't get any important information. That Yang Tian is a villain who only hurts people. Don't let me know." He no longer manages foreign intelligence.

Cao Pi thought that Yang Tian bypassed him and reported to the superior without authorization, and he couldn't help secretly hating him, and immediately said: "My boy will be replaced immediately, and he will no longer be in charge of external intelligence."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth again and said, "In addition, I will also dig out the intelligence points of the Han army in Yedu. They are my confidant's trouble."
