The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 280 No matter how hard the peach tree works, it can't bear pears

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Cheng Yuanzhi was discussing with all the civil and military personnel when the Hanzhong and Jingzhou wars would end, when he suddenly saw a servant walking quickly with a wooden box in his hand, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Lu Meng annihilated Guan Yu's tribe and captured them alive. He beheaded them and sent them to Sun Quan. Sun Quan specially sent someone to transfer the heads here."

Before the person arrived, a bloody smell came to his nostrils.

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the words, and their hearts trembled even more when they heard the anger.

The famous general Guan Yu was defeated by the unknown Lu Meng.

Who is Lu Meng?So fierce!

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the wooden box in the attendant's hand and said solemnly: "Is this the head of Guan Yu in your hand?"

The servant nodded and said, "Exactly."

After that, he opened the wooden box and showed the head to everyone.

When all the ministers in the audience saw this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they avoided looking, not daring to look directly.

Only four of them seemed relatively calm.

One is Jia Xu, the other is Yang Xiu, the other is Sima Yi, and the other is Shen Pei.

Jia Xu had already expected this situation, so he was not afraid; Yang Xiu was crazy; Sima Yi was the party involved, and he had heard about it;

Cheng Yuanzhi looked down, feeling a little nervous, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Gorgeous burial, rich burial! Take it down quickly, I don't want to see such a bloody scene!"

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials looked at each other and curled their lips.

If everyone hadn't known that the king (Cheng Yuanzhi) was both civil and military, he would often go into battle with a knife when he was young, and the lives of people who had been stained with his hands, if not a thousand, there would be eight hundred, I almost believed this sentence.

Such a king would actually say that he is afraid of "bloody scenes"?
Who believes it!
Jia Xu asked the servant, "Where is Sun Quan now?"

The attendant closed the wooden box and replied: "The Lingnan Hou Mansion has been moved to Changsha."

Jia Xu waved his hand, indicating that he had finished asking.

The servant bowed and retreated.

The smell of blood in the hall lingered for a long time.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked around the crowd and said: "Now that Sun Quan has taken Wuling, the Hanzhong war will end, and finally we can settle down for a while."

Everyone nodded.

As long as Liu Bei heard the news of Guan Yu's death, he would immediately stop attacking Hanzhong and turn around to fight Sun Quan.

Tian Feng went out and said: "Your Majesty, if Liu and Sun attack each other at that time, I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and choose the weak one to attack. If Liu Bei wins, I will go south along the Yangtze River to capture Sun Quan; if Sun Quan wins, I can Soldiers leave Hanzhong to seize Yizhou."

It's still early, and the two families will fight for at least two or three years. Cheng Yuanzhi immediately said seriously: "Sun Quan is a new descendant, if I do this two-faced three-handed move, I may lose the popularity of the world, and this matter cannot be brought up again."

These days, spies are everywhere, and even if Cheng Yuanzhi really had the intention of reaping the benefits, he would not be able to tell the public.

Like Sun Quan, conducting sneak attacks secretly is the way to go!

Tian Feng replied: "Yes."

Cheng Yuanzhi asked again: "Where is Sima Yi?"

Sima Yi responded, "The minister is here."

"Are you guilty?"

"My minister is guilty!"

Cheng Yuanzhi said in a cold voice: "You have a heavy army in your hand, but you stand guard and don't fight. You just sit and watch Fancheng and Xinye fall. If everyone is like you, my Great Wei will never stop!"

"In the hope that you will break the army and attack, I will be open to you and will not punish you for your crime of neglecting the army."

"Let's say goodbye and go home."

Sima Yi cupped his hands calmly, and said goodbye. He knew very well the truth that "the minister who doubts the emperor will die", and did not complain because he resigned from office at the age of 35.

He believes that his young self still has many opportunities, and the 53-year-old King Wei (Cheng Yuanzhi) will definitely be ahead of him.

When the time comes, hum...

In this world, there will eventually be a place for him, Sima Yi, to gallop.

After Sima Yi withdrew, another attendant hurried over and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, the siege of Hanzhong has been lifted, and Liu Bei's army has retreated ten days ago."

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Very good, the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan have contributed a lot this time, and they will be rewarded! In addition, those who made contributions in the battle of Jingzhou will be rewarded! There are strategists among the civil and military forces left behind in Yecheng, and they are also rewarded." It should be rewarded according to the custom."

All civil and military personnel bowed down together and shouted in unison: "My Wang Shengming..."

The trial matcher complied with the promise, and turned around to arrange for the merit book to serve.

"Dismiss!"

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand, watched the crowd recede one by one, looked outside the hall, thought about the situation in the world for a while, and felt very satisfied.

At this time, there were fifteen states in the world (Sun Quan divided Jiaozhou into two), and he monopolized eleven; Sun Quan occupied two and a half states, namely Guangzhou and Jiaozhou: half of Jingzhou; Liu Bei occupied most of Yizhou.

The situation is already clear.

Maybe it won't be long before they can rule the world.

In this time and space, Lu Xun, who had a feud with the Sun family, had already voted for Wei, and was no longer Sun Quan's subordinate.

At that time, if Liu Bei goes to attack with his whole country, Lu Meng, who is good at attacking but not good at defending, may not be his opponent.

The four major governors each have their own strengths. Zhou Yu and Lu Meng are good at attacking and destroying the Liu faction; Lu Su and Lu Xun are good at conquering and uniting with the Liu faction.In the original time and space, when the four people alternately came to power, their policies towards the Shu Han also changed from good to bad due to personal preferences.

Now Sun Quan is not as strong as imagined, and Liu Bei is slightly weaker than imagined.But overall, Liu Bei's strength should not be underestimated.

Because although Yizhou has only one continent, its area is equivalent to three states. Later, when the world was divided into nineteen states, Yizhou was composed of three states.

If Liu Beishe attacked Jingzhou in the Northern Expedition, and Wei Guo's army took the opportunity to attack afterward, it would not be difficult to wipe out Sun Quan.

The only uncertain thing is how long will Liu Bei prepare for the Eastern Expedition?

Two years, or three years?
While he was in deep thought, Su Gai, who had become more mature and prudent, turned from the side, and said in a low voice, "Commander, I got inside news that Sima Yi found a talent in Jingzhou."

Cheng Yuanzhi came back to his senses, and said in surprise, "Jingzhou? Talent? It can't be Deng Ai!"

Su Gai was taken aback, and asked with his eyes wide open, "How did the commander-in-chief know?"

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled slightly: "Deng Ai, whose name is Shizai, is from Jiyang, Yiyang this year. He has a stuttering disease. Although he is a cowherd boy, he has both civil and military skills, is sensitive to the art of war, and has a lot of insights into internal affairs. His real name is Deng Fan, and later changed his name to Deng Ai because he had the same name as a fellow villager."

Sugai slapped his thigh: "It's amazing! It's much more detailed than I know."

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said: "This Deng Ai is indeed a talent. However, there are still flaws and needs to be honed. Let him start from the grassroots."

Sugai let out a "huh" and asked, "Commander, we have fought for 30 years. When will the world be unified? I can't wait."

Cheng Yuanzhi's eyes flashed brightly, and he quickly hid himself, muttering to himself: "Not far, not far."

Su Gai said at a loss: "How long is it not far away?"

After that, he sighed again and said: "When I am with the commander, I always feel that I am stupid and I can't understand what the commander means. Alas!"

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Don't underestimate yourself. Compared with those people who are so smart and almost demonic, you are indeed a little inferior, but in fact your IQ is qualified, at least [-]."

Sugai asked in a daze, "What is an IQ? Is one hundred too much or too little?"

Cheng Yuanzhi was speechless, so he had to explain: "IQ is the level of intelligence of a person. The value starts from the beginning, and the upper limit is about 120. If it exceeds 150, it is considered normal. If it exceeds [-], it is considered a genius. If it exceeds [-], it is a genius. "

Su Gai nodded slowly and said, "Marshal, can you test my IQ for me?"

Seeing Cheng Yuanzhi smiling and saying nothing, Su Gai explained: "My sons don't seem to be very smart. The eldest son is 15 years old, and he can't count accurately. Eight plus nine always equals fifteen."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help laughing immediately, thinking about Su Gai's tiger-headed sons, he laughed and said, "Then tell me, what is eight plus nine?"

Sugai was taken aback, and said uncertainly, "Sixteen?"

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head: "Think again."

Su Gai was a little confused: "It's not really equal to fifteen, is it?"

Cheng Yuanzhi got up slowly, patted Sugai on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiaogai, don't force children, they are not suitable for studying."

Sugai was stunned: "Why?"

Cheng Yuanzhi turned and left, but his voice stayed in the empty hall: "It's not for any reason, because no matter how hard the peach tree works, it won't bear pears."
