Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 466

Chengdu city
Cao Pi has already won [-]% of the officials and soldiers. Although he has not confirmed the crown prince yet, he has basically controlled the hearts of the soldiers stationed on the frontier.

"Young master, this is the battle situation in Yongliang sent by General Cao Ren. Xu Rong is currently transporting the siege weapon. I am worried that the Jin Dynasty will use a thousand crossbows to attack the city." Fazheng sent Cao Ren's private letter to Cao Pi, and hoped that Cao Pi Can borrow troops to Cao Ren in the name of son.

Sima Yi and Cao Zhen knelt aside, and they had their own views on this matter.

"Zhongda, Zidan, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Cao Pi couldn't make up his mind, after all, he still needed to let his father and king handle the matter of mobilizing troops.Although he could persuade his father to send troops after some persuasion, he still had to think clearly.

Cao Zhen was very clear about this matter, and he shouted: "Zi Huan, this Uncle Cao Ren is our own uncle, there is no reason not to help him. Xia Houba is guarding Shangyong, and our troops have already been divided. If we don't Winning over Uncle Cao Ren, instead, let Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu take advantage, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

Sima Yi frowned, he didn't quite agree with Cao Zhen's plan, but he didn't dare to speak out directly.

Cao Pi was very curious about what Sima Yi was thinking. After all, he had a feud with Jin who killed his son, and some things could be analyzed more carefully.

"Zhongda, tell me what you think." Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and asked Sima Yi what he was thinking.

Only then did Sima Yi take a deep breath, and said, "I think that the Jin country's thousand-machine crossbow was only used against Ma Teng after all, and among the generals, only Ma Chao and Pang De knew about the thousand-machine crossbow. Can this thousand-machine crossbow be broken?" City, or how powerful he is, the young master needs to ask to know. If the thousand-machine crossbow can easily break through the city gate, it must be such a power that no matter how many troops are sent, it will not be able to defend the city of Tianshui County. I think it is better to send troops Tell General Cao Ren to withdraw his troops, you have to try it before you know!"

Hearing that Sima Yi did not agree to send troops to reinforce Cao Ren, Cao Zhen immediately stood up and wanted to reprimand him.

Cao Pi waved his hand, telling Cao Zhen not to be impatient, after all what Sima Yi said was reasonable.

"Zidan, sit down! This afternoon, follow me to visit General Pound. Ma Chao is guarding Hanzhong and is not in the city. At present, he can only find Pound. Pound will leave Chengdu the day after tomorrow. This afternoon is the best time. "Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, ready to follow Sima Yi's suggestion first.

In the evening, Cao Pi came back drunk from Pang De's house, and his wife Liu quickly helped her husband back to the room to rest.

Cao Pi's Liu family is naturally Liu Bei's daughter, and he is very fond of his wife.On the one hand, the identity of Liu Bei's daughter gave him a good reputation, and on the other hand, this woman is really diligent and thrifty in managing the family.

"Go and prepare me hangover soup. As soon as the sun breaks, I will go to visit my father and report something important!" Cao Pi also tried to stay sober as much as possible, and asked his wife to prepare soup to hangover quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Pi was full of alcohol, and immediately went to the palace to meet his father.

Although Cao Cao was woken up, he got up and changed immediately when he knew what his son was coming for.

Cao Zhi had already come to him yesterday, and his proposal was to send troops to reinforce Cao Ren to break the siege of Tianshui.However, Cao Cao had no choice but to let go of this strategy. After all, this strategy was not the best strategy.

"My son pays homage to my father! Good morning father! Good morning mother!" Cao Pi walked into the palace and greeted his father and mother.

Cao Cao sat behind the table, chuckled lightly, and half-sarcastically said: "Zihuan is calm, your uncle's request letter arrived yesterday morning, and Zijian finally explained it to me yesterday. It's very interesting, I went to drink with Pound yesterday, and came to see me so early this morning. Is it because of Qianjinu?"

Cao Cao knew his son very well, and he also had an eyeliner in Chengdu, so he could understand what his son was doing yesterday with a simple guess.

In this regard, Cao Pi is better than Cao Zhi. He knows what it means to know oneself and the enemy.

"My son is indeed going for the matter of Qianjinu, so I didn't think about it this morning. My son is not as smart as Zijian, but he also thought of a best way." Cao Pi narrowed his eyes. Use the speaking method taught by Sima Yi, and every time it can make the father speechless.

Hearing that his son was so self-effacing, Cao Cao really didn't want to suppress him with words, so he could only listen to his own opinions.

"Oh? You can tell what Zihuan thinks. Your uncle Cao Ren is currently trapped in Tianshui. Will the father send troops or not?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, wanting to know Cao Pi's exact thoughts.

"My son thought that with Uncle Cao Ren's strength, he should be able to guard for more than ten days. If Xu Rong used the Jin Kingdom's thousand machine crossbow, Uncle Cao Ren could take the initiative to give up Tianshui County. The loss of Tianshui is not Uncle Cao Ren's fault. The details of the machine crossbow allow Qin to plan for a rainy day. What’s more, Cheng Yu’s army division guards Xiabian, and Qin’s northern borders are safe, so there is no need to worry about it.” Cao Pi’s words are well versed in the art of war. .

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, first smiled, and then smiled a few times, feeling both surprise and fear in his heart.

Fear is because Cao Cao has seen Cao Pi's growth, and his son has gradually grasped the tactics just right.Surprisingly, Cao Cao saw that Cao Pi was so perfect and cautious in considering things.

"Good! Good, very good! Gu understands what you mean, let's go down!" Cao Cao waved his hand to make Cao Pi retreat.

Squinting his eyes, Cao Cao began to get to know his second son gradually, he was so similar to himself when he was young!If the world can be unified in his own hands, Cao Cao will pass the throne to Cao Zhi no matter what.But now Cao Cao knew in his heart that he was incapable of defeating Han Wu.

If he wanted to defeat Jin and Han Wu, Cao Cao had to cultivate a heir who was better than himself and more resourceful.Cao Pi happened to sit at these two points!

"Come on! Send an order to let Ling Bao reinforce Cao Ren. If Xu Rong breaks the city with a sharp weapon, allow Cao Ren to withdraw his troops and defend Xiabian City to the death!" Cao Cao's plan influenced the opinions of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, and won Seek stability.

When the news from the palace reached Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu immediately narrowed his eyes, feeling very strange.

Yang Xiu didn't know about Qianji Nu, so he thought the king shouldn't let General Cao Ren withdraw because Xu Rong couldn't break through the city.

"This matter is indeed strange! Zijian, you can go to the palace again this afternoon, or go to find Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Benchu ​​has lost his edge now, he is the king's childhood friend after all. The king only accepted us. It is generally a strategy, and the proposal to withdraw the army must have come from Cao Pi. Cao Pi chose to let Cao Ren withdraw, it seems that there is something we don't know about it." Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes, he couldn't understand why Cao Pi chose to let Cao Ren withdraw the army .Once the army is withdrawn, although it will have little impact on the northern border, it will eventually reduce Qin's reputation a lot.

"My lord, there is news from my eyeliner that Cao Pi and Cao Zhen went to General Pang De's place last night. I don't know what happened." The servant told Yang Xiu the news.

"Pound? Dezu, it seems that the problem lies with Pound. Why don't we go to him right away, it is said that he will leave Chengdu in two days, so we have to ask about the situation anyway." Cao Zhi asked.

Yang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay! Zijian, Pang De is a general and he doesn't like money. Didn't you just get a hard bow? Give it to him this time! Come, prepare the frame, and go to Pang De German General's Mansion."

Taking Cao Zhi out of the compound, Yang Xiu wanted to find out what could scare Cao Pi, so he chose to let Cao Ren withdraw.

five days later
Cao Ren received a secret letter from the king in Tianshui City, and understood that once Xu Rong used the Thousand Machine Crossbow, he could withdraw his troops.But if this is the case, he must figure out the power of the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

"Decree that the city gates will be locked all day from today. The east and north gates will be blocked with sandbags, and the army will gather at the west gate." Cao Ren made a decision. They immediately retreated to the next debate.

Xu Rong's army is transporting siege equipment, but he has decided to start withdrawing troops.After all, the Qianji Crossbow was not a sharp weapon that a Yongliang soldier could use at will, and Tianshui City could not be taken overnight.

In Xudu City, the people still live and work in peace and contentment, as if the battle on the front line has nothing to do with them.However, compared to the war in the Yongliang area, Xudu's tax revenue is basically four or five times that of the frontier.

And even so, most people still hope to live in Xudu and Jizhou. After all, no matter how high the tax is, it is only a little bit harder and tiring, and there is no fear of life.

"Feng Xiao, I heard that during this period of time, many people from Chu State have come to settle in Jin State, and many aristocratic families from Chu State have moved north?" Han Wu narrowed his eyes. What he actually cared about was not the increase in population. It's why the people of Chu State want to go north.

Once there is a large-scale population transfer, a lot of materials and culture will be exchanged.Sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, which are easy to carry crops, can easily be taken back by Chu spies.

Moreover, this point cannot be prevented, Han Wu knew it from the beginning.

However, even if the state of Chu got sweet potatoes and began to plant them on a large scale, it would take at least five years to adapt.And the state of Jin wants to overcome the time difference of the five-year adaptation period, and dominate the world with more troops and stronger national power.

Guo Jia also narrowed his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "What His Royal Highness said is true. Presumably within five years, sweet potatoes and corn will no longer be the unique crops of Jin. However, in the previous three years In addition to the five years of development of Chu State, the population of Jin State can crush the three southern countries in eight years. After five years, His Royal Highness must send troops to the south, even if there are heavy casualties, he must conquer Jingzhou of Chu State!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Han Wu narrowed his eyes, obviously agreeing with this.
