Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Hu Ke clasped his fists and asked: "Your Majesty, the Luoyang side urgently reported that Wei Guo withdrew the army from Huainan to the Central Plains. Because of the plague on the way home, many soldiers died. They are currently stationed in Mopi in Runan, and they are not allowed to go up. Fighting Guan Yu on the front line..."

"The big-eared thief and the red-faced thief, what kind of luck did they get? Cao Ren fought Jiangdong so hard, but before he could fight Guan Yu, the whole army was infected with the plague?" Sun Quan found it inconceivable.

A few months ago, Soochow defeated Huainan. Sun Quan promised that after Cao Ren returned to the battlefield in Jingbei, Soochow's army would attack Wuchang and Jiangxia. Until Guan Yu was consumed.

Only when the Jingzhou Legion was emptied by the Wei State, Jiangdong would have a chance to take revenge in the future. However, God did not fulfill his wish, and he wondered if this was a sideways fight?

"Your Majesty, Cao Ren also died of the plague, and even Wen Hui, who went to Huainan to negotiate, also died..." Hu Ke reminded.

Sun Quan slapped the table with his palm, and teased with bared teeth: "It's a good death. It seems that God is fair. As many Jiangdong children as he killed me in Huainan, he should be buried with him..."

Hu Ke nodded and sighed: "If the plague is not properly controlled, the number of deaths in the end will range from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands to 10,000+..."

Is God helping Jiang Dong to avenge, or is he helping Guan Yu?Sun Quan hastily asked: "Didn't Liu Bei take Chang'an in the first month of the month? It's been several months now, how is the situation in Guanzhong? Cao Pi didn't dare to use the soldiers transferred from Huainan. Has he spared troops to go to Guanzhong?"

"Because Cao Ren's soldiers did not dare to use them, Cao Pi only took [-] troops from the Jingbei battlefield to go to Tongguan. Guan Yu is currently shrinking his troops to fight Nanxiang. Cao Xiu is not Guan Yu's opponent at all, and there is bad news from Yongliang..." Hu Ke straightened Shake your head.

Chapter 821 Sun Quan's Poison Plan Helps Wei Guo

"You won't tell Gu that Cao Zhen was also defeated by the plague, right?" Sun Quan asked excitedly.

Hu Ke shook his head and replied: "After Liu Bei's army conquered Chencang and occupied Chang'an in the first month, Empress Cao Zhen led his army to bypass Chang'an from Longshan Road, but was stopped by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in Weishui River. During the confrontation between the two armies, Zhang Fei led his troops to repel Liangzhou Inspector Zhang Ji captured Wangyuan, Jixian and other big cities in Tianshui County, but Cao Zhen had to retreat to Anding because of the interruption of the food road at Jieting..."

"Hehe..." Sun Quan let out a strange laugh, and then showed an unbelievable expression, "What kind of waste is Cao Pi deploying on the western front? I remember that Zhang was also a famous minister of Wei State, and he did a lot for Cao Cao to calm Yongliang. Great contribution, but according to the defense of the city, it is no match for Zhang Fei? How many people does Liu Bei have in Guanzhong? The troops stationed in Tongguan don't know how to get out of the pass?"

"Uh...Although Zhang Fei doesn't have many troops, he has a few insiders who have broken the city under his command. In addition, Ma Chao, who is so powerful in Xiliang, is here. Zhang Ji was finally defeated and retreated to Longxi County. In addition, Wei general Zhu Ling came out of Tongguan to support Cao Zhen, but Zhao Yun stopped him in Huayin..." Hu Ke's voice became weaker and weaker.

Internal response, mutiny?Sun Quan thought of Lu Xun again, and said to himself that it was fortunate that Sun Bu escaped back, otherwise Jiangdong might also have a major incident. Why does Liu Bei like to play provocative so much?

"Cao Zhen retreated to An Ding, Zhang retreated to Longxi, Zhao Yun blocked Tongguan and Zhu Ling, wouldn't Liu Bei stand in Guanzhong? As long as Guan Yu can restrain Cao Xiu, Yongliang will be lost sooner or later. Liu Xuande is coming fiercely, this is unstoppable Already?" Sun Quan frowned.

"Wei State stopped the war with killing in Yongliang, so the Qiang and Hu people rebelled constantly. Now that Zhang Fei occupies Tianshui, with Ma Chao's prestige in the hearts of the Qiang and Hu people, it is only a matter of time before Liangzhou is completely conquered..." Hu Ke nodded in agreement.

"No... no..." Sun Quan stood up and paced in place. Liu Bei's strength made him restless.

Because of the constant rebellion in Wei State, and the presence of the Yangtze River and the elite navy in the east of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan was not very worried about Wei being able to destroy Wu. On the contrary, Liu Bei’s side has accumulated a lot of money, and now he is also in danger of occupying the Yangtze River. If he completely breaks with Soochow, he is worried about resisting Can't live.

"I have to help Cao Pi, otherwise my lips will die and my teeth will be cold..." Sun Quan made up his mind.

Hu Ke asked curiously: "Jiangdong's soldiers have just defeated Huainan, and they have recently been mobilizing defense areas. I'm afraid they don't have the energy to help?"

"Has Jiaozhou made any moves? What happened to the entrapment army? The Shijia easily lost Jiaozhi. Lantian won't let the entrapment army rest?" Sun Quan brought the topic back to Lantian.

"According to what was mentioned by the merchant ship returning from Guangzhou, last month the entrapment army boarded the ship in Panyu Port, and the fleet went to the north along the Yushui, perhaps to support the Jingbei battlefield." Hu Ke replied.

"It must be." The corner of Sun Quan's mouth slightly raised, and then he said confidently: "Three years ago, when Guan Yu and Cao Cao fought in Nanyang, Lantian sent an army to support them. Guan Yu's pressure now is not easier than last time, especially According to the information that Cao Ren Huainan's troops are going to support, even if Lantian doesn't want to send troops, Guan Yu will probably write a letter to ask for help. Liu Bei is now in Guanzhong, and the only thing he can count on is Lantian."

"It should be like this, but Cao Ren died of illness after all, and the soldiers and horses in Huainan did not participate in the battle. Are we going to take advantage of the emptiness of Guangzhou and gather troops to attack Guangzhou?" Hu Ke asked curiously after finishing speaking.

Sun Quan shook his head slightly, "This guy from Lantian is too cunning, Gu can't fail this time, so we have to wait for the evolution of the Jingbei battlefield."

"Uh...then..." Hu Ke was at a loss.

"Zecheng, you wait for Gu for a while, and give Cao Pi a letter of Guxiu's letter. If he can boldly adopt it, he will definitely be able to defeat the red-faced thief, and he may even leave behind the army."

After saying that, Sun Quan threw his robes away, and Sun Quan knelt down in front of the desk, ready to write a letter. Hu Ke had a good eye for people and things, and when he saw this, he immediately followed him to pass paper and study ink. He wanted to know what kind of scheme Sun Quan had, but he was so loud .

Sun Quan mentioned the writing with a brush, and Hu Ke was terrified when he read the letter. He said that Cao Pi really dared to use his tricks, and it was really possible to win, but it was hard to say whether Cao Pi would agree.

Sun Quan suggested that all the soldiers infected with the epidemic in Huainan be sent to the front line of Jingbei to die, and the plague was passed on to the other side through the war. Because the combat effectiveness of the infected soldiers was low, in order to successfully infect Guan Yu's army, Cao Pi had to give up a considerable number of normal soldiers. End the fight with a lose-lose situation.

Wei's army had more soldiers than Guan Yu's, and the Jingzhou army could collapse completely as long as the same number of casualties were controlled.

"Zecheng, what do you think?" Sun Quan asked proudly, pointing to the letter paper.

"Your Majesty's plan is too heroic, and the power of Wei State will be greatly reduced because of it. Cao Pi may not adopt it..." Hu Ke replied with cupped fists.

Sun Quan frowned and said solemnly: "This is called dying and rebirth. Cao Pi doesn't even have the courage. What can he do to defeat Guan Yu and Liu Bei? Wei Guo will be defeated by him sooner or later. If he encounters this kind of problem alone, Absolutely no doubts."

Hu Ke nodded in agreement on the surface, but he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. In short, standing up and talking does not hurt your back. If Cao Pi asked you to fight, I am afraid it would be a different tone.

After the ink on the letter on the case was dry, Hu Ke folded it and put it in an envelope, only to hear Sun Quan's instructions: "Zecheng, send someone to send the letter to Luoyang as soon as possible, and secretly contact Chen Qun to make this happen. If Chen Qun hides his unwillingness to help, you can threaten him with Brother Sima, we have taken care of him for long enough."

"Uh... the general wanted to ask for instructions, because he has been in Jiefanwei for a long time and has no time to supervise the Sima brothers. They have grown up now, and staying in the Yu's firm will mislead their children. The two of them bear a bloody feud. Transferred to the camp to practice, he will be used to attack Wei Ke as a vanguard." Hu Ke clasped his fists and said.

Sun Quan had to answer: "The enemy of the Sima family must be in the state of Wei, and the suzerain of the Cao family is the most suspected. Zecheng's proposal is quite good. Pay attention to instilling hatred between the two brothers, and it is not in vain to eat Jiangdong for a few years."

"Wei." After Hu Ke finished speaking, he added, "Brother Sima came from a famous family, and although they are not yet in their prime, since the two of them were allowed to join the army in advance, the general suggested that they should be given letters to show the king's love for them. "

"Good." Sun Quan nodded affirmatively, and then said to himself: "It's just Shi and Zhao, what should I say..."

"Uh..." Hu Ke hesitated to speak.

Sun Quan pointed to Hu Ke and ordered, "If Zecheng has a good suggestion, you might as well share it and refer to it..."

"After getting along with them for the past two years, although the Sima brothers come from the same mother, they have completely different personalities. If you train them well, you may become a great weapon. Sima masters martial arts, and Sima Zhao appreciates literature. Why don't the king show them with literature and martial arts?" Hu Hu Ke clasped his fists to make a suggestion.

"Shangwu, Shangwen?"

"How about Marquis Wu and Marquis Wen? The connotation of being a Marquis based on civil and military governance is quite good. Chen Qun should like it very much."

Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "Although it's a little blunt, but the meaning is very good, so it's decided, and I sincerely send a big gift to Brother Sima, he should recognize you as a foster father..."

"Brother Sima came from a prominent family, but how can the general come from a humble background? I will tell the two brothers that these two names were given by the king." Hu Ke waved his hands quickly.

"Zecheng, don't talk about the poor family. The Zhang family in Jiangdong is a big family. Now you are the governor of the left division of Xiefanwei. Sooner or later you will be the backbone of the Zhang family. You must seize the right to speak in the Zhang family and affect other gentry families." Sun Quan is serious. Said.

"only."

Chapter 822 Marquis Wu is alive Cao Pixi

The Wei army could not form a joint force in Yongliang. Cao Zhen retreated to Anding County due to the supply of troops and food. Most of the counties under the jurisdiction of Sanfu were taken by Liu Bei.

Yongliang's military deterrence affected Luoyang, and there were rumors in Luoyang that Liu Bei was the real emperor, saying that Liu Xie originally wanted to pass the throne to his clan relative Liu Bei, but the ministers of Wei State forced him to abdicate to Cao Pi.

The rumors appeared in the form of nursery rhymes and street stories, and then the Yangtze River newspaper spread throughout the Central Plains. The newspaper once again denounced Cao Pi's wrong background, and his act of usurping the throne would be infamous for thousands of years. The Wei State could only passively ban the newspaper in various cities.

External confrontation has intensified and internal rumors are frequent.

Cao Pi was upset every day when he heard the report, and Jia Xu's condition had deteriorated in the past two months, so it was difficult for Cao Pi to find anyone to ask for advice.

One night in mid-May, Cao Pi was sitting lonely on the stone steps outside the hall with Cao Xiu's memorial in his hand, not in the mood to call a beauty to attend his bed.

Recently, Guan Yu moved all the troops east of Yushui to the west, stationed more than [-] elite troops of Guan Ping and Pang De in Xinye to threaten Wancheng, and the rest of Jingzhou's main force fought against Liu Feng, Huang Quan, and Meng Da's troops in Nanxiang. Cao Xiu, Xu Huang.

The Jingzhou Army is dominated by infantry, and its total strength is only [-]% of that of Cao Xiu's Army.

Guan Yu did not cause a disadvantage in the entire battle situation because of the inferior number of people. He concentrated the Jingzhou cavalry at Pang De, and cooperated with the Jingzhou navy to harass the Wei army's grain team for a long time. It made it impossible for Wei Jun to find the main force in Jingzhou for a decisive battle.

Cao Pi looked at the incomplete moon in the sky, and he missed the days when he followed Cao Cao to fight. Although Cao Cao was often defeated at that time, Cao Pi didn't have to bear such pressure at all. No matter what, Cao Cao will arrange it properly, just like when Cao Cao first broke through Yecheng, Cao Cao needed to reward the soldiers of the three armies and deal with those who should be killed, such as trial and appointment, but Cao Pi could enter Yuan's mansion first and take away the treasures that should have belonged to his father. The spoils of war (Zhen Ji).

"Alas..." Cao Pi sighed towards the moon. When he was young, he had Cao Cao as his backer, but now he can't rely on anyone. The emperor's throne is really not for everyone.

"Your Majesty...Chen Lingjun is asking to see you outside the palace..." the servant Gao Miao reported in a low voice.

"What is Changwen doing here late at night?" Cao Pi muttered and stood up, then ordered Gao Miao: "Send him into the palace."

"only."

Not long after, Chen Qun followed behind Gao Miao, walked quickly to the main hall and saluted.

"Is there something wrong with Changwen?" Cao Pi squinted his eyes halfway, as if he hadn't slept, and his voice was laziness.

"Wu Wang Sun Quan sent a plan to defeat the enemy, and the old minister Kui Ye came to disturb His Majesty." Chen Qun said and handed the secret letter to Gao Miao.

"Huh, Sun Quan can also offer advice? Although he pretends to be Zhongmou, he may not really have a plan, otherwise he would not have fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly. Changwen is a big fuss. It is already late at night, you should go home early... ..." Cao Pi shook his head lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Great Wei is currently at a disadvantage in Yongliang because of the stalemate in the war in Jingbei. To break Liu Bei's conspiracy, it may take a dangerous move, and Sun Quan's plan, I think it can break the game." Chen Qun Zhengse said.

"Oh? Xiao Gao, quickly show me." Cao Pi had to pay attention to this.

Gao Miao hurriedly handed over the letter. Cao Pi couldn't help but change his face when he saw the content on the paper. After reading it, he patted it on the table and stood up. Then he stared at Chen Qun and asked, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Although it's dangerous, it's not necessarily a solution..." Chen Qun nodded slightly.

"The first emperor once said, 'Being a child should be like Sun Zhongmou'. If we were in the Taiping era, Sun Quan must be an outstanding person, but this strategy is too vicious, and he has no good intentions in doing so. If the Cao and Liu families lose in Jingbei, both will suffer. Soochow can continue to live on..." Cao Pi snorted coldly.

Chen Qun reminded: "This plan is against the way of heaven. If you really want to use it, you must do it in secret. It must not be discussed by the court..."

Cao Pi nodded lightly, "How can I not know such a simple truth? You go back to rest first, and I have to think carefully..."

"Only... besides..." Chen Qun hesitated to speak.

"Say something quickly." Cao Pi stared at the other party with doubts on his face.

"Zhongda's two sons have lived in Jiangdong for several years, and the case of their family has been basically investigated. The Lu family has been completely wiped out now. Should the two children be brought back?" Chen Qun asked in a low voice.

"If I don't mention it in the long text, I almost forgot about it. What happened to those two children? Didn't they suffer in Jiangdong?" Cao Pi was very clear about the Sima family being punished. Although he didn't want the two disasters to come back, he didn't know what to do at this time To refute, I had no choice but to change the topic first.

"Sun Zhongmou is still taking care of him, let his confidant Yu Xiu take care of the adoption." Chen Qun looked relieved.

"Yu Xiu? I haven't heard of it..." Cao Pi returned to his seat and sat down.

Chen Qun explained: "It is said that this person came from a poor family, but he married the daughter of the Zhang family in Jiangdong. He is currently the governor of the left department of Xiefanwei, and he has won the trust of Sun Quan."

"So that's the case." Cao Pi nodded as if he had suddenly realized, but he didn't continue the topic.

Chen Qun wanted to take Brother Sima back, so he went on to say: "Brother Sima was very young, so he was easily instigated by outsiders. It is easy for Sun Quan to control the two brothers, and it will not be good to become the enemy of Wei State in the future."

"Uh... That's the truth. I really want to take back Zhongda's orphan, but the Central Plains is not peaceful now. Thousands of soldiers have died from the epidemic. What if they catch the plague on the way back?" Cao Pi frowned. Said it was difficult.

"It's really impossible to make a detour? Sun Quan gave them a sign last month, but it seems that they are meant to be cultivated. Maybe it was because of the Huainan war that the number of staff was reduced too much." Chen Qun continued to fight.

"It's too troublesome to make a detour, right? I remember that the two children should not be weak. What did Sun Zhongmou say to them?" Cao Pi asked nonchalantly.

"It's like Marquis Wen and Marquis Wu, they are so straightforward..." Chen Qun smiled leisurely.

"What word? Say it again in the long text." Cao Pi stood up excitedly as if he had been electrocuted.

Chen Qun looked at Cao Pi suspiciously, and repeated word by word: "Is there anything wrong with the writing of the article, the martial arts of martial arts, and the feudal lord?"

Marquis Wu appeared, and the gift Cao Cao left for Cao Pi before his death was said to be a virtuous official who could help the country in the prophecy. Unexpectedly, he could not visit him for several years, and it turned out to be the son of Sima Zhongda, and it was Sun Quanbiao's name.

"I thought about it just now. How could Zhongda's son stay in Wei Guoyang? You immediately send someone to contact Sun Quan and bring Brother Sima back to Luoyang." Cao Pi ordered excitedly.

"Uh... I will start making arrangements right away..." Chen Qun didn't understand Cao Pi's changes, but he was very excited to see his old friend's orphan come back.

Chapter 823 Jia Xu wakes up Wei Wendi

In the years before and after Cao Cao's death, the talents of the older generation in Wei State gradually withered. Sima Yi, whom Cao Pi trusted and relied on the most, was also secretly exterminated by Cao Cao with his last plan, leaving only Jia Xu, who was not a high-ranking man, to discuss.

The emperor often visited the Taiwei's house, causing jealous courtiers to gossip. Jia Xu was cautious for half his life and did not dare to make mistakes. Since then, he used old age and sickness as an excuse to avoid disasters. If he met Cao Pi, he must summon him. Jia Xu Let the servants carry him to the temple.

It may be because of old age, or it may be that Jia Xu pretended to be sick. Since last year, his physical condition has taken a turn for the worse. This year, he can't go to the fields directly after Qingming, and he has gradually been unable to eat much.

When Jia Xu was awake, he was already beginning to explain what happened after his death. Cao Pi sent to the imperial physician many times for diagnosis and treatment, and the diagnosis results were very pessimistic.

It's hard for Cao Pi to imagine Jia Xu's death, who else can he turn to for advice, but Huang Tian pays off, and the "Marquis Wu" he has been looking for for several years finally appears.

It turns out that the person who is more powerful than Sima Yi is actually his own son. Why didn't he think of it at the beginning?

"Xiao Gao, let's have a good time..." Cao Pi felt that it was inappropriate before he finished speaking, so he immediately changed his words: "Forget it, let's leave the palace now and go to the Taiwei's Mansion."

"Ah? Only..."

Gao Miao was stunned by Cao Pi's "sharp turn". Except for some of Cao Pi's elderly concubines who lived in Yecheng, all the other concubines were taken to live in Luoyang, and Xue Lingyun, Chen Shangyi, and Duan Qiaoxiao lived in Hehuan Palace. Ji, Cao Pi must have been passionate when he mentioned Huan Dian, but the conversation turned to Taiwei's Mansion.

The terminally ill Lao Jia is so attractive?Unexpectedly more attractive than His Majesty's three concubines, Gao Miao went to prepare chariots and horses with puzzlement, and asked Xu Chu to arrange tiger guards to accompany him.

Cao Pi secretly went out of the palace at night, Xu Chu's tiger guards opened the way ahead, and soon came to Taiwei's mansion to call for the door.

The Jia family were all asleep at this time, the porter yawned and opened the door to inquire, but found that it was Yu Huan who came to the door, and soon the Taiwei's mansion was lit, Jia Mu took a few brothers out, and welcomed Cao Pi into the mansion in fear.

When Cao Pi landed in the main hall, Jia Mu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when you come here at night, you must be looking for my father to discuss military affairs. However, my father is seriously ill and cannot stay here. Please forgive him for being rude."

"I already know about the Taiwei's condition, and I don't care about bothering you late at night. Has the Taiwei rested?" Cao Pi's face was kind, and there was no sign of blame at all.

Jia Mu replied: "Just now I barely fed some porridge. Although I have been asleep for a while, I think it is still not heavy. I will wake him up now..."

"If it weren't for the urgent situation, I would never be so rude. You quickly lead the way." Cao Pi got up and pointed to the door.

"Wei." Jia Mu bowed down, and then led Cao Pi to go.

When they came to Jia Xu's dormitory, Cao Pi ordered Gao Miao and Xu Chu to wait outside the door, and Jia Mu woke up his father and retreated.

Jia Xu was lifted up and half-lyed on the couch. At this time, his old eyes were slightly open and his face was full of fatigue. When he saw Cao Pi, he only blinked.

Cao Pi sat on the side of the couch, held each other's hand, and said with a moved face: "Since I came to the throne, every time I have a decision, there is a public plan. Now Wei Guo is in big trouble. Someone offered a plan or it may break the situation." , but I was still hesitant after thinking about it, so Kui Ye came to the mansion for consultation..."

At the end of Cao Pi's words, Jia Xu nodded slightly in agreement, and Cao Pi revealed Sun Quan's poisonous plan.

"No..." Jia Xu pondered for a while, before uttering two words with certainty.
