Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 619 Sima Yi turned over

Cao Cao was hesitant. He first asked the clan, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren. Both of them said that Cao Cao made the decision. Cao Hong strongly recommended Cao Zhi. A set of rhetoric made Cao Cao pay special attention to it.

Xiahou Dun didn't directly raise the issue of the eldest son, but first said that his eldest son Xiahou Chong was weak and embarrassing, and his second son Xiahou Mao took the military power without experience; then he sighed that Cao Zhi's son Cao Miao died early and had no heirs; His son Cao Rui is very intelligent.

This remark touched Cao Cao. Since I was hesitating between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, I should take a long-term view and look at my grandchildren. Obviously Cao Pi is more dominant, and I also like Cao Rui very much.From this point of view, it seems more appropriate for Cao Pi to be the son of the world. However, Cao Zhi is still young and may have children, so it seems unfair to make a decision based on this.Despite thinking this way, subconsciously, Cao Cao has already begun to lean towards Cao Pi invisibly.

Because Xun You did not support Cao Cao becoming king, Cao Cao had no intention of asking him. Hua Xin, Liu Ye and others resolutely refused to speak on the grounds of Cao Cao's family affairs, and Cao Cao planned to ask Jia Xu again.

"This is a matter of Duke Ming's family, why don't you ask your clan relatives?" Jia Xu still refused to accept.

"Wenhe is on the mend. Although this is a family matter, it is also a national affair. Wenhe should make it clear."

Jia Xu was silent.

"What is Wenhe thinking?"

"I'm just thinking about Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingshenger."

Ok?Cao Cao was taken aback, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao?Is this reminding me that these two people have caused chaos by abolishing the elders and establishing the younger?Are you reminding me that Cao Pi should be established when Cao Pi is older?

Registering an heir is nothing more than establishing a heir, establishing a elder, and establishing a virtuous person.The first is the respect, the second is the elder.Cao Cao's original partner, Ding, had no children and adopted the eldest son Cao Ang, so Cao Ang was considered the elder and also the descendant. Unfortunately, Cao Ang died early, and that was the second eldest Cao Pi.

Jia Xu was playing charades, but Cao Cao misunderstood him.What Jia Xu really expressed was that Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne because of the support of Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others; Liu Cong succeeded to the throne because of the support of Cai Mao.Jia Xu wanted to remind Cao Cao that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi each had wings.

In the first month of the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Cao canonized Cao Pi as his son.The battle between the sons has finally come to an end.After Yang Xiu learned about it, he was very annoyed, but he did not give up, and was still trying to find a way to make Cao Zhi make a comeback.He didn't expect that Cao Cao had already started planning to remove obstacles for Cao Pi in order to enable Cao Pi to take over smoothly.

In the same month, Minister Xun You died of illness.Cao Cao was heartbroken and gave Xun You a posthumous title.Xun You was friendly with Zhong Yao, and entrusted his family to Zhong Yao.Jia Xu claimed to the outside world that he suffered from leg problems and was unable to sit, stand and walk, and lived in seclusion. The eldest son Jia Mu seldom went out to take care of Jia Xu.

Hua Xin took over as Shangshu Ling, Chen Qun as Yushi Zhongcheng, Sima Yi and Liu Ye as servants.Set up the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Min, Ke Cao, Wu Bing, and Du Zhi Gong Wu Cao Shangshu.The Ministry of Officials, also known as the Ministry of Selection, is in charge of the selection of officials, Cui Lin is in charge of Shangshu Huanjie; Zuomin is in charge of repairing farming and salt pond gardens, Huanjie is in charge of Shangshu; Kecao is in charge of minority affairs, and Heqia is in charge of Shangshu; Bing, foreign soldiers, cavalry, other soldiers, and capital soldiers, Jiang Ji is the Minister; Du Zhi is in charge of military and state expenditures, and Fu Xun is the Minister.

Dong Zhao, who was known as Duke Wei and King Wei for Cao Cao, was unexpectedly appointed governor of Yuzhou.

In Jin Dynasty, Cao Ren was the general who conquered the South, Xia Houyuan was the general who conquered the West, Xiahou Dun was the former general, Cao Hong was the rear general, Cao Zhen was the backbone general, Cao Zhang was the Beizhong Lang general, Xingxiao cavalry general, Xiahou Shang was the Yue cavalry general; among foreign surnames, Only Zhang Liao was promoted to partial general.

Lamented by the sharp decline in the number of talents under his command, Cao Cao once again issued a recruitment order to recruit talented people from all over the world.Yang Fu, governor of Xiliang, recommended Wuqiu Lian, the son of Wuqiu Xing, the prefect of Wuwei. Liu Ye recommended Chen Tan, the nephew of Chen Qun's clan. Smart and agile, with the style of Zhong Yao, he was used as the servant of Sanqi. Sima Yi also recommended Xu Yi, the son of Xu Chu, Zhang Hu, the son of Zhang Liao, and Le Chen, the son of Le Jin, and Cao Cao was used as the Yajiang.Zhong Yao, governor of Yongzhou, recommended Fei Yao and Dai Ling from Guanzhong, saying that they were as talented as Guo Huai. Cao Cao was overjoyed and appointed Fei Yao as the captain of Shesheng and Dai Ling as captain of Changshui. For the Dianjun school lieutenant.

Grateful for Xun You's death and thinking of Xun Yu, Cao Cao made Xun Yu's eldest son Xun Yun the general of Huben Zhonglang.But Xun Yun had always been friendly with Cao Zhi, but not with Xiahou, so he was not liked by Cao Pi.Guo Yi, the son of Guo Jia, was also regarded as Cao Pi's literature.

In February of the 21st year of Jian'an, Zhou Cang moved from Xuzhou to Qingzhou, taking Jinan as the seat of the government.When the news reached Chen Du, Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat, and the headache he suffered immediately disappeared.

"Zhou Weiguo moved to Jinan, that means he intends to plot against Yanzhou. I haven't attacked him yet, but he presses on every step of the way. It's really abominable."

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, King Wei. In my opinion, this is just Zhou Cang's bluff. He moved because he was afraid that the king would send troops to attack." Cao Pi's title was confirmed, and Sima Yi began to plan.

"Why did Zhong Da say that?"

"Looking at Zhou Cangzhi's personality and previous battles, he never dared to confront the king head-on, and would often take advantage of the king's chances. This time is no exception. But Zhou Cang's changes, I am afraid there will be a battle in Hanzhong!" Sima Yi glanced at Jia Xu , seeing Jia Xu squinting his eyes and nodding slightly, Sima Yi continued: "Wen Yuan defeated Sun Quan in Hefei, so Sun Quan dared not move lightly with Wen Yuan around. The only thing to worry about is Hanzhong, which is the gateway to central Sichuan and reaches Chang'an in the north. , west to Liangzhou, advance can attack and retreat can defend, I thought Liu Bei would definitely send troops to Hanzhong, Zhou Cang expected to come to Jinan because of this, it may not be known whether he conspired with Liu Bei."

When Sima Yi spoke, everyone nodded frequently.

"Hanzhong is an important place that cannot be lost." Cao Cao mused. "When sending a general to assist Miaocai, who do you think should be sent?"

"General Zilian is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, and he can take on this important task." Chen Qun recommended Cao Hong.

"Zi Lian, I order you to command [-] troops to garrison in Hanzhong. If Liu Bei invades, report it immediately!"

"Your Majesty, since the Hanzhong army is rising, Yongzhou must also take precautions..." Sima Yi advised again.

"That makes sense." Cao Cao nodded. "Who wants to go to Chang'an?"

Xiahoudun's second son, Xiahoumao, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go at the end."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and named Xiahou Ma as General Anxi, and went to Chang'an to preside over military affairs, which can be regarded as all Xiahou Dun's thoughts.Xia Houmao said: "The final general wants to recommend Wu Zhi, the prefect of Hanoi, as a military adviser, and go together."

"allow."

After some ingenious operations, Sima Yi finally extended his hand into Guanzhong, and sent Xia Houmao, who was close to Cao Pi, and Wu Zhi, his confidant, to Chang'an. One can imagine Yang Xiu's life in the future, and Cao Hong, who was at odds with Cao Pi, was sent to Chang'an. Hanzhong front line.
