Soldiers come to the world

After the end of the original war, the local officials of Yuzhou and Xuzhou counties heard the news and expressed their allegiance to the Han Dynasty. For a while, all counties and counties lowered the Wei flag and replaced it with the Han flag.

After the victory of the original war, the Han army was divided into two groups. One was led by the general Zhao Yun and led an army of [-] to besiege Luoyang. Staring at the north of the Yellow River.

As a backup, Huang Zhong led [-] troops to station in Xuchang. At the same time, he was also responsible for the collection of [-] surrendered troops from Cao's army.

In the following two months, Liu Jing inspected the people's conditions in the original counties, received officials, appointed the captain of the garrison, consolidated the occupation of the original by the Han army, and stabilized the original situation at the same time.

The time gradually approached the beginning of the month, the summer heat subsided, and there was a hint of coolness in the morning and evening. Liu Jing had already inspected most of the plains, and the last stop was to inspect Dongjun. The reason why Dongjun was arranged as the last battle was because of Dongjun's strategy. Location is extremely important.

Dongjun is close to the Yellow River, and on the other side of the Yellow River is Weijun, where Yedu is located. It is also the northern gate for the northern army to attack the original south. When Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, the army crossed the Yellow River from Baimajin and went down. Hu led an army of [-] troops to station in Dongjun, pushing the battlefield of Han and Cao to the front line of the Yellow River.

This morning, Han King Liu Jing, accompanied by more than a dozen generals of the Han army, inspected the defense of the Yellow River in Baimajin. Baimajin is an ancient ferry of the Yellow River. The mighty Yellow River flows eastward from the large hills and mountains.

The high-ranking officials who accompanied Liu Jing to inspect the ferry were Sima Yi of Xiangguo and Cheng Rui, the prefect of Dongjun. They stood on a platform on a mountainside, overlooking the boats on the ferry and the rolling waves of the Yellow River. The other end of the Yellow River.

Beside Pin said: "Your Highness, Cao Jun has only deployed [-] troops on the other side of the Yellow River, distributed in Baimajin and Yanjin, and the defense is weak. I think this is an opportunity."

Liu Jing smiled, and said to Pin: "Don't eat too fast, or you will easily choke, don't worry, let's take our time, stabilize the original, and give the soldiers enough rest and training before we send troops north. "

There was a look of disappointment on Pin's face. He originally thought that the [-] troops stationed in Dongjun was preparing to cross the north, but he didn't expect that the king of Han had no plan to go north.

At this time, Sima Yi laughed again and said: "The general's mood is understandable, but Luoyang has not yet been taken, and Qingzhou is still in a confrontation. We should take Qingzhou and Luoyang first, and then consider crossing the Yellow River to the north. Wait a few more months!"

Pin also felt that he was in a hurry, and said apologetically: "The humble post is only for military considerations, and it is a bit shallow, please don't blame it, Your Highness."

Liu Jing read the head, he didn't mean to blame the hire, he asked Cheng Rui, the prefect, "Cao Pi crossed the Yellow River from Baimajin twice, I want to know how he crossed the Yellow River?"

Cheng Rui hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, when Cao Pi crossed the Yellow River, the water was relatively calm. He used a large leather raft. A single leather raft can cross a hundred cavalry. The momentum is quite spectacular."

"Sure enough, it's a raft!"

Liu Jing was somewhat vigilant. It seems that Cao Jun has done a lot of hard work in the technology of crossing the river with leather rafts. When Cao Cao crossed the Han River with leather rafts, it was a small matter. Now he can use leather rafts to cross the cavalry , I underestimated them.

Liu Jing thought for a while, and said to Pin: "For the sake of prudence, build a sentry tower every fifty steps around the ferry to prevent Cao Jun from sneaking across the river with rafts."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Liu Jing asked to hire a few more words, and then he finished inspecting the ferry and returned to the barracks. As soon as he returned to his tent, a guard came quickly and presented a piece of information to Liu Jing, "His Royal Highness, Ye has Emergency information sent!"

Two consecutive months of inspections made Liu Jing really a little tired, so that he inspected Baimajin today just by looking at the flowers, and he couldn't cheer up, but the emergency information from Yedu lifted his spirits. Waiting for the information from Li Fu.

Liu Jing hurriedly typed up the information, read it hastily, couldn't help laughing, and immediately ordered the guards, "Please come here quickly, Sima Xiangguo."

Not long after, Sima Yi walked into the big tent led by the guards, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is looking for a humble minister for the matter of Yedu!"

Sima Yi was in charge of intelligence, and Li Fu's situation was given to him first, and he wrote it down and then handed it over to Liu Jing. Of course he knew that a major event had happened in Yedu, and the King of Han would definitely consult with him.

Liu Jing asked Sima Yi to sit down, ordered the guards to serve tea, and said with a smile: "It's really unexpected! Xiahou Dun led [-] troops to Yedu. Is this forcing the palace?"

Sima Yi took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Actually, this is also expected. Cao Cao controlled the military power for too long, and it was already too late when he handed over the military power to Cao Pi. Cao Zhang held [-] Youzhou troops, and Cao Zhi got With the support of the Xiahou Clan, Cao Pi could only rely on Cao Ren. In this original war, Cao Ren’s power was completely wiped out, which greatly weakened Cao Pi’s army. How could Zhang Zhi and Zhang Zhi not take the opportunity to join forces? Unless Cao Cao personally came out to clean up the mess, but according to According to the news I got, Cao Cao has lost his mind, and it is difficult to stand up for Cao Pi, and I think Xia Houdun is very aware of this reading, so he dared to lead the troops back to Yedu from Bingzhou."

After a pause, Sima Yi said again: "The more important thing is that this fiasco caused Cao Pi's prestige to fall to the bottom, and it also gave Zhang Zhi and Xiahou Dun a chance to attack. Someone must come forward to take responsibility. If Cao Ren is captured, then all All the spearheads are aimed at Cao Pi, after all, he is the planner of this original war, and he cannot escape this disaster."

"Zhongda is right. After the Chibi War, Cao Cao was secretly blamed by all parties, which made him silent for many years. Even if Cao Cao is like this, let alone Cao Pi, who is in an unstable position. , will definitely be spurned by the Cao family, and if he takes responsibility, I am afraid he will have to step down, no matter what, he will be sad."

Liu Jing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then slowly said: "Cao Wei still has about 18 troops, Xiahou Dun has 11 Bingzhou troops, Cao Zhang has [-] Youzhou troops, and the remaining [-] troops, [-] were killed. Besieged in Luoyang, [-] were in the hands of Cao Xiu, and another [-] were actually Youzhou Army, which was temporarily controlled by Zhang Liao, and another [-] were deployed on the north bank of the Yellow River. But Zhangzhi has [-] troops. It seems that Cao Pi's situation is not good!

"Your Highness is right. I feel that the key now lies in the Ten Thousand Cao Army in Qingzhou. Zhang Liao is loyal to Cao Pi, but the [-] troops under him are Cao Zhang's Youzhou Army. Cao Pi will never dare to transfer him back to Yedu. The only possibility is Cao Xiu's [-] troops, which is Cao Pi's only force to balance Zhang Zhi. Cao Pi ordered Cao Xiu to give up Xuzhou and return to the north, just to keep the [-] troops. I boldly speculate that Cao Pi may transfer Cao Xiu back to Ye All."

Liu Jing thought more about how to get the most benefit from the civil strife in the Cao family. First of all, Qingzhou, he smiled meaningfully: "If Cao Pi really transfers Cao Xiu's army back to Yedu, how will Cao Zhang respond? Zhongda thinks Can Zhang Liao still control [-] Youzhou troops?"

Sima Yi immediately understood Liu Jing's meaning, and he said excitedly: "Qingzhou is not Youzhou, Cao Zhang won't care about its gain or loss, he will definitely take back his military power from Zhang Liao, if we add fire from the side, my minister It can be guaranteed that Qingzhou is at your fingertips."

Liu Jing read the head, "Qingzhou is only the first step. If we don't make good use of the internal strife among the three brothers, we will be really stupid."

When the two were discussing, a personal soldier reported in a low voice at the door of the tent: "Your Highness, Cao Pi sent an envoy to see him."

"what?"

Liu Jing didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "Who sent an envoy to see you?"

"It was Cao Pi, the eldest son of Wei, who sent his special envoy Hua Xin to ask for an interview."

Liu Jing and Sima Yi glanced at each other, they both smiled knowingly, and actually sent Hua Xin as an envoy, which shows how serious the crisis Cao Pi is facing now.

"Bring him to see me!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Hua Xin was nervously led into the king's tent by the guards. This was the second time he came to see Liu Jing. The last time he was in Chang'an to seek the support of the Han Dynasty for Cao Pi's ascension. But this time, Cao Pi was facing a serious crisis of trust. No longer represent Cao Pi to ask Liu Jing for help.

Even Huaxin did not expect that Yuan's defeat would lead to such serious consequences. Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi joined forces with Zhong Yao, Sima Lang and other important ministers to ask Cao Pi to explain the reasons for Yuan's defeat and take responsibility. The position of deputy prime minister, and the most serious thing is that Cao Pi announced his abandonment of the position of son.

As Xiahou Dun returned to Yedu with [-] Bingzhou troops, Cao Pi faced the danger of a military coup. In desperation, Cao Pi had to secretly order Hua Xin to come to see Liu Jing and seek Liu Jing's help. Although the two countries are currently hostile, But Liu Jing married Cao Xian after all, to some extent, they still have room for peace talks.

Hua Xin saw that Liu Jing and Sima Yi were sitting on the seats. In this situation, he couldn't stand and salute. He knelt down and saluted, "Wei Guo Huaxin pays homage to His Highness the King of Han!"

"Hua attendant, please sit down!"

Liu Jing's attitude was very polite, and he did not put on a cold attitude. Of course, we can talk about it. The key is that Cao Pi needs to show some sincerity.

Hua Xin calmed down and sat down. Before he could speak, Liu Jing asked with a smile, "I still want to know, how does Hua Shi know that I am in Dongjun?"

"This one……"

Hua Xin hesitated for a while and said: "In fact, we have been paying attention to the movements of the Han army in Dongjun, and we just know that His Highness is in Dongjun."

The implication is that they deployed a spy in Dongjun. In fact, Liu Jing also guessed that Cao Jun had arranged a spy in Dongjun. It seems that this spy is quite effective.It has to be unplugged.

At this time, Hua Xin was anxious again and said, "This time, I came to see Your Highness by order of your son, and I want to make an exchange with Your Highness."

Liu Jing smiled lightly and said, "I'm just meeting Hua Shi. As for specific matters, Hua Shi might as well talk to Sima Xiangguo in detail."
