Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 477 Cao Pi Awakens

The Jin army retreated so quickly that even the Chu army in Nanjun couldn't react.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't realize it until the Jin army withdrew to Xiangfan.

When Zhuge Liang learned of the rapid retreat of the Jin army, he was gloomy again, feeling the caution of the Jin army coach.

"Teacher, now that we have solved the crisis in Nanjun, why are you still frowning?" Ma Di was very happy when he heard the news of the Jin army's retreat. After all, this was an unpredictable thing.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and sighed: "Youchang, you are still too young, how can you know the difficulties? The Jin army can directly hit Nanjun this time, and it will be able to conquer Nanjun next time! It will take less than two years , Jin’s 30 troops will go south again, will Cao Pi and Lu Xun still have a chance to send troops to help?”

Hearing the teacher's explanation, Ma Su remained the same, not so worried.

Cao Pi Camp
"What? The fucking Jin army just retreated with their tails between their legs? And they knew they couldn't hold a large piece of land, so they gave up all the land south of Xiangfan. What a fucking trouble! They wanted to preserve their strength. Let's send troops for nothing this time!" Cao Zhen almost died of anger when he heard the news that the Jin army had quickly retreated for a hundred miles.

Sima Yi also squinted his eyes. He didn't understand why the Jin army was able to put aside their immediate interests and not be greedy. They were able to withdraw their troops now, which showed how difficult the Jin army leader was to deal with.

Cao Xiu was also very angry about this. They are generals, and they know more about the trouble of Jin's sudden withdrawal of troops.If Wuxi Man and Nan Man soldiers were dispatched like dogs and then expelled, it would be no less than a war of war with the princes.

Cao Pi calmly sat in the large tent of the Chinese army, and said: "Jin suddenly withdrew its troops, and now we seem to have hit cotton with a heavy hammer. Even if we withdraw now, it will affect the morale of the soldiers."

"No matter what, attack Xiangfan by force! Even if you can't win, you have to pretend. It's too embarrassing to return to Chengdu like this!"

Cao Pi poured hot drinks to Sima Yi, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu respectively, and made a decision.

Sima Yi nodded, and now he also thinks that there is no good way.If there are still two ways to go, that one is to attack Xiangfan for a show, and then withdraw the troops.The other is the way of the traitor!

With the strength of Cao Pi, he turned his troops to the Chu State, and the tired army in Nanjun and Jiaozhou didn't care about resisting Qin's elite at all.

Sima Yi didn't dare to say the second strategy rashly, because after all, Cao Pi is Liu Bei's son-in-law, which is very important.

While drinking, Cao Zhen suddenly saw something from Sima Yi's frowning face, and said suddenly, "Oh? Zihuan, since the Chu army no longer has the strength to resist the Jin army next year, why don't we just transfer our troops and conquer Jiaozhou? In this way, if Liu Bei is willing to surrender, you, as a son-in-law, can keep your father-in-law's name, right?"

Cao Xiu's heart was shocked by Cao Zhen's words, and the wine cups in his hands fell to the ground.Sima Yi was also surprised, but he knew that this sentence could only be said by Cao Zhen.

Cao really looks like Cao Cao. He grew up with Cao Pi since he was a child, and they basically have nothing to say between them.

Cao Pi was also taken aback, but he didn't feel much discomfort.Although Liu Bei is his father-in-law, but when it comes to the interests of the two countries, this kind of kinship status is not enough to influence anything.

"Zidan is reasonable, but it's a pity that Zhuge Liang is a monster and extremely intelligent. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts are even more astonishing. How can our army go south in one fell swoop?" Cao Pi squinted his eyes. He was really interested in Cao Zhen's proposal. .

When Sima Yi heard that Cao Pi was interested in this, he was overjoyed, and said: "Your Highness, if you are willing to send troops south to capture Chu, that would be the best. With Chu as the foundation, even if Yang Xiu plots against His Highness again, Mr. Cao Zhi It also lost all opportunities to compete for the crown prince!"

"Occupy the land of Chu... Zhong Da thinks it is feasible to disobey the order of the father?" Cao Pi was still a little hesitant about this matter. Make yourself king.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, the current situation is not very good for you. If you want to avoid disobeying the king's order, then withdrawing troops is the best way. But for Meng Huo and Sha Moke If you lead troops to capture the land of Chu now, not only will your Highness be able to make your strength stronger, but no one in the court would dare to say a word. But... if the king prefers Mr. Zijian, it is nothing more than His Highness It’s just a dilemma.”

Hearing Sima Yi's explanation, Cao Pi calmed down and said, "I still need to discuss this matter with Mr. Li Ru. He is the person my father sent to supervise me. Let's ask him!"

Although Cao Pi had gradually begun to compete with his father, he did not dare to disobey his father's orders in terms of foreign military affairs after all.

In Li Ru's military tent, Cao Pi personally came to visit with drinks and food, while Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and others were waiting outside.

"The dignified prince of the Qin Kingdom, do you still come to ask me for advice? Mr. Cao asked me to assist you. Now that the Qin army is not in danger, the old man thinks that many decisions are better handled by the young master himself." Li Ru was quite tactful, Although he drank the wine and ate the dishes Cao Pi sent, he still didn't intend to give him some clear advice directly.

Cao Pi maintained his humble and submissive attitude, and said: "Mr. is a counselor in Xiliang. Although many ministers in the court do not know it, the younger generation admires him very much. At the beginning, Mr.'s mere trick was to disintegrate the [-]th princes. , the world's counselors should be led by Mr. Shu."

When Li Ru heard that Cao Pi respected him so much, he was naturally very happy, but he didn't show it on his face.

But seeing Cao Pi's obedience, Li Ru sighed helplessly, and said, "Young master, I shouldn't talk too much, but I can remind you. If Han Pengju has a younger brother, and Han Fu still likes that little brother Son, what will Han Pengju do at this time? Mr. Cao said that you should be like Han Pengju and Sun Zhongmou when you give birth to a son, so what is the meaning behind it? You should not talk too much, son, let's leave!"

Li Ru narrowed his eyes. He already thought that he had talked too much, so he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Cao Pi, filling it up.

Tea is full to see off guests, Cao Pi knows that Li Ru is letting him leave, so he doesn't want to say more.

Cao Pi respectfully withdrew from Li Ru's camp, but such a polite attitude made Li Ru even more helpless and could only sigh.

"Hey! Cao Zihuan, after all, is not as domineering as Han Pengju! If you can't be better than Cao Cao, how can you be Han Pengju's opponent? Perhaps, you need the help of someone like Yang Xiu more than Sima Yi! Current events make heroes, and heroes also need to conform to the general trend of the world. Without a domineering monarch, it is impossible to lead Qin out of Yizhou." Li Ru thought to himself.

Xichuan and Yizhou, here allowed the Qin State to recuperate, avoiding the time when the Jizhou Army was at its sharpest.Now Qin State has the strength to compete with Jin State, but what is lacking is a monarch who can make the soldiers radical to die!

Although Cao Zhi did not have such abilities, Li Ruke also pinned his hopes on Cao Pi.

Leaving Li Ru's camp, Cao Pi has been muttering to himself, thinking about what Li Ru said to himself just now.

"If Han Wu had a younger brother...if Han Wu had a younger brother, what would he do?" Cao Pi muttered to himself, he wanted to find out what Li Ru meant as soon as possible.

Sima Yi listened intently, just in time to hear these few words, combined with the few words he had just eavesdropped outside the camp, he stared in shock and stood there.

"Your Highness, please follow me!" Ignoring Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, Sima Yi directly dragged Cao Pi to the side with an extremely serious expression.

"Your Highness, just now Senior Li Ru asked you if Han Wu had a younger brother, what would he do? Just now I heard the saying that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, right?" Sima Yi had to figure out what Li Ru said just now, he We must find out what is in the heart of King Cao Cao from Li Ru.

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, nodded, and added: "Senior Li Ru said that this was a reminder to me just now, but he seemed very unhappy. He also filled the teacup when he sent me out. polite!"

He was very dissatisfied with Li Ru's behavior towards him, but he didn't dare to reprimand Li Ru in person.After all, Li Ru is a counselor that even his own father respects, and his status is no less than that of Xi Zhicai.

Sima Yi squinted his eyes and thought carefully, and then said: "Your Highness, I thought you must lead troops south! Chu land is His Highness's territory! If Yang Xiu dares to reprimand His Highness in the court, when your commander returns to the court, he will directly lead The army has entered the city! It is meritorious to capture the land of Chu, and the king will never reprimand the ministers who have meritorious service!"

"General Zidan, please come here!" Before Cao Pi could react, Sima Yi called Cao Zhen over.

"General Zidan, His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to take advantage of the vacancy and capture the land of Chu! But the King has not given orders. Although His Highness the Crown Prince can make meritorious service, it is a private soldier. If Yang Xiu and others dare to slander His Highness the Crown Prince in the rear , I hope that when the general returns to Chengdu, he will lead his troops into the Yang Mansion immediately, without leaving anyone behind!" Sima Yi showed a ruthless expression, and even Cao Zhen was taken aback, he did not expect Sima Yi to have such a ruthless side.

"I'm good at killing people, but killing one Yang Xiu would add up to that? If it's for Zihuan's crown prince, I would even have the guts to kill Cao Zijian directly!" Cao Zhen snorted coldly, very domineering.

Only then did Cao Pi react, but just when he was about to reprimand Sima Yi and Cao Zhen, Sima Yi immediately said: "Your Highness, you need such arrogance as General Zidan! Mr. Li Ru said that you are not as good as Han Pengju. Learn from Han Pengju! In troubled times, you need to be ruthless, otherwise you will not be able to surpass the king, so how can you rest assured? General Zidan, send an order for His Highness to send troops to Nanjun!"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, he wanted to make another decision for Cao Pi, and secure the crown prince.
