"Zhongda, tell me, is there any chance for Great Wei to pacify... the Shu thieves?"

For the first time in his life, Cao Pi felt a trace of despair.

There were bursts of severe pain in his chest, but he forced himself to show the indifference and composure of a superior in front of Sima Yi.

After all, Cao Pi was the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Son of Heaven.

Sima Yi nodded slowly and said:

"Sun Quan will not let Liu Bei become bigger, so the emperor should not worry about it."

If Cao Zhang fails, Liu Bei's side will officially become the strongest force in the Three Kingdoms of the World.

However, this is not without danger.

Yongliang is dilapidated, bandits and Hu Qiang are rampant, and the grain output here cannot be compared with that of the Central Plains and Hebei.

Liu Chan needs to spend a lot of energy to pacify this place, so that he can rest assured of the Eastern Expedition.

During this period, if something happened to Liu Chan suddenly, Yongliang would collapse in an instant, and this land with strong folk customs would become the sad place of the big man.

Yes, there is another way,

As long as Liu Chan dies suddenly, everything will be easy to deal with.

Cao Pi was in a better mood. He suppressed his cough and said kindly:

"There's Lau Zhongda--

It's rare for Zhongda to come back this time, how about staying in Luoyang for a while, and let Li'er worship Zhongda as his teacher? "

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Yi doesn't understand the scriptures, doesn't know the articles, how to be the teacher of Duke Qin, your Majesty, why don't you choose another great Confucian...

Yi, Yi still wants to go to Jieting to fight the Shu thieves again. "

Before Sima Yi came to see Cao Pi, he had already heard from Chen Qun that there seemed to be something wrong with Cao Pi's body.

They are all old friends of Cao Pi, and at a glance, it can be seen that the emperor, who is in his prime, is indeed in poor health.

Now may be the time for a crown prince.

only……

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Pi is now tired of the bright and charming queen, and plans to make Guo Guifei his wife.

In addition, Cao Rui, the queen's own son and Cao Pi's direct son, will lose his status, and I don't know what will happen.

It was originally Cao Pi's private matter who he established as his successor-if he was not the emperor.

But now that he is the emperor of Great Wei, he cannot be allowed to run amok in this matter.

Cao Li's mother's status is low and weak. She was originally Cao Pi's maid, but now she is only a Zhaoyi.

Why did he ascend the throne as emperor, and why can he serve as the spiritual pillar for Wei to resist everyone.

The most suitable successor is only Cao Rui himself.

Sima Yi hoped that Cao Pi would figure this out early.

Seeing Sima Yi's figure slowly disappearing from his sight, Cao Pi felt very sad.

The Son of Heaven should be the ruler of the world,

You should do whatever you want.

Father Cao Cao liked Cao Rui, but Cao Pi's favorite son was Cao Li.

Could my vision be wrong?

Does the Son of Heaven make mistakes?

It really makes no sense.

I am not for my own likes and dislikes, I am for the great Wei Jiangshan!

Thinking of this, Cao Pi finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to cough violently.

With this cough, he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and he spit out blood!

not good!

Cao Pi stood up in panic, seeing several palace people around him looking at him in horror, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Not many words, whoever dares to reveal half a word, kill!"

·

Like Cao Pi, Chang Diao is also paying close attention to the battle situation in Longyou.

He also recruited his lieutenant, Zhang Te, who had made great contributions in the previous war, to talk about the confrontation between the two armies.

Although Zhang Te was very disdainful of Chang Diao's use of troops, Zhang Te was very satisfied with this general being so studious and not taking credit or pride.

Facing the map, he eloquently told Chang Diao about the current battle between the two armies,

Chang Diao nodded repeatedly, looking thoughtful, but actually didn't understand a sentence.

It's such a hassle.

This fight is too strenuous.

Seeing that Chang Diao listened very seriously, Zhang Te was very moved.

He tentatively asked:

"If the general uses troops, how should he act?"

"Huh?" Chang Diao took a long time to react,

How do I use soldiers?

It's me, I surrendered to the prince a long time ago?

He hesitated for a long time and said:

"Now that the Han army has walked out of the Shu Road, our army can't handle it. It's better to retreat the whole army to Chang'an. Why bother to fight for Longyou?"

In fact, Chang Diao also knew that once Yongliang was lost, Chang'an might not be able to hold onto it, and if Chang'an couldn't be kept up, the Central Plains might be doomed as well.

He is already thinking about the matter of welcoming Master Wang with Tan Shihu, of course he is letting himself go and talking nonsense.

Zhang Te frowned and said:

"Does the general think that Ren Chengwang has no chance of winning?"

Chang Diao smiled and said:

"Come on, you haven't met Liu Chan before,

No one in the world can match Liu Chan's ability to use troops. If he can't occupy Longyou, our army can barely compete with him.

If they occupy Longyou, there is no other way but to stick to Guanzhong. "

Well, in fact, there is still a retreat to Yecheng, but I just don’t dare to say it because I’m afraid to scare you.

Zhang Te had never experienced how powerful Liu Chan was, so of course he refused to believe it.

But General Zhendong said so, how could he, a young general, dare to refute, he could only grunt to express his understanding.

While the two were talking, the servant hurried over to communicate, saying that Duke Qin had come to borrow books again.

"Just say I'm not home!"

"Uh, general, this old slave has already said that the general is in the mansion..."

"You said you are free and have nothing to do, what nonsense!"

Since the last time he paid homage to Cao Pi with Chen Qun, Duke Qin Cao Li often came to Changdiao Mansion to borrow books.

Chang Diao, a warrior, didn't think much at first,

But after being dialed by Zhang Te, he suddenly realized that Chen Qun's constipated face was not because he was reluctant to take out the books at home.

It's just that he doesn't want to get too close to Cao Li, so as not to send wrong messages to Cao Pi and the scholars all over the world.

Now there is no prince in Great Wei. Judging from the current situation, it seems that the emperor doesn't care about Cao Rui, the eldest son.

Cao Li, born to Xu Ji, is very popular with the emperor and may become his successor.

But not to mention that the aristocratic families in the temple did not support it, even the Cao family was unwilling to let Cao Li be the prince.

Although Chang Diao's good brother Cao Ren didn't make a clear statement, he kept saying that Cao Cao liked Cao Rui very much when he was alive, and that this smart kid is the future hope of the Cao family.

All the big brothers said so, so naturally Chang Diao couldn't show being too close to Cao Li.

After thinking about borrowing books today, he made it clear to Cao Li that he had no more books at home.

If you want to see it later, please invite Gao Ming.

Chang Diao asked Ming's servants, only to find out that Cao Li went to Chang Diao's study on his own.

This made Chang Diao very angry.

This kid doesn't know any manners at all, can he enter the study room casually?

He hurriedly got up and ran to the study, Zhang Te didn't dare to get involved in this kind of thing, he could only watch Chang Diao leave sympathetically,

Chang Diao walked to the study with a heavy heart, and saw a young man kneeling on the ground, flipping through a paper book, Chang Diao had no choice but to push the golden mountain down the jade pillar, cursing inwardly, while prostrating himself to the ground.

"Chen, Chang Diao, I have seen Duke Qin."

The boy didn't seem to hear Chang Diao's voice, and was still reading Chang Diao's collection of books with great interest.

Chang Diao was about to say something more, but a female voice suddenly sounded in his ear, which made his hair stand on end.

"Li'er, General Chang pays his respects, why are you so rude and don't help General Chang up?"

Chapter 341 Chang Diao on the Thief Ship Again

Female, female?

Chang Diao raised his head subconsciously, and saw a tall figure dressed as a servant standing beside Cao Li.

Seeing that Chang Diao raised his head in astonishment, the man slowly pulled back the hood, revealing a delicate female face immediately.

"My concubine, Mrs. Xu, pay my respects to General Chang."

This, who is this?

Chang Diao was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses. He quickly knelt down on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice:

"Don't dare, dare not, Xu Zhaoyi has offended Chang."

When he recognized the identity of this person, Chang Diao quickly knelt on the ground as if he had been struck by lightning, not daring to raise his head.

He knew that when Cao Pi publicly exposed his wife, Liu Zhen was almost hacked by Cao Cao because he watched it for too long. It was dangerous to watch Cao Pi's woman.

Xu Zhaoyi was originally Cao Pi's maid, and was promoted to Zhaoyi because she gave birth to a son. She is considered to be relatively low-ranking among the noble ladies in the palace (not particularly low-level, and Cao Pi who is low-level can leave the palace freely when she dies. married) category.

She has no awareness of seeing herself as a source of great danger, and even her voice trembles a bit:

"Quick, Lier, Lier, come and salute General Chang."

"No no no!"

Chang Diao buried his head firmly on the ground, not daring to breathe, he just felt the wind blowing over his head, as if he would take away his soul just by looking at it.

Cao Li had already recovered from his concentration just now, and he hurried forward to help Chang Diao, saying "General Chang is working hard".

While standing up, Chang Diao tried hard not to look at Xu Zhaoyi beside him, it was really painful.

He secretly scolded Cao Pi in his heart for how he was looking after the house, and why he let his woman run out.

"No, I don't know why Xu Zhaoyi came to the humble house. Longer, if I knew Xu Zhaoyi was here, Chang should be well prepared."

It is true to say so, but how could the emperor's Zhaoyi go to a foreign minister's house in his spare time.

Xu Zhaoyi dressed up like this obviously because she didn't want people to recognize her identity. As for how she slipped out of the palace, that's another topic.

Seeing Chang Diao's expression of sincerity and fear, Xu Zhaoyi said slowly:

"Li'er recently read the scriptures, thanks to the gift of the general,

As a mother, I have thanked the general for coming here since now, and I am taking the liberty of visiting today, so please don't blame the general. "
