Jia Xu finished speaking slowly, causing Cao Pi to immediately fall into deep thought. The seemingly kind-faced old man in front of him was far more sophisticated and unique than those who were fighting for power in the court.
"The captain guessed it was Liu Bei's plot?" Cao Pi frowned.
"Several of Liu Bei's great advisers are still alive. The tactical level may come from Pang Tong and Fazheng. The strategic level should be from Zhuge Liang, right? After all, it was he who proposed the Longzhong pair." Jia Xu guessed, stroking his beard.
Cao Pi felt a little sad when he heard this. Cao Wei once had strategic and tactical advisers, but unfortunately they have passed away one by one. Even Jia Xu, who he could rely on in the end, is now old.
Why do you want to kill Zhongda? Cao Pi wanted to ask Cao Cao.
When encountering difficulties, Cao Pi could always think of this old friend. Every time he thought of it, he felt ashamed of Sima Yi. Unfortunately, the graves of Sima Yi's family were covered with grass.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were relying on others in Jianye, so Chen Qun and others secretly tried to find ways to help. Cao Pi also turned a blind eye. After so many years of friendly cooperation, he believed that it was impossible for the Henan nobles to switch to Sun Quan.
"According to Ziyang's suggestion, I sent Xiahou Zilin to cut off the grain road in Qishan. Maybe Zhang Fei can be asked to retreat?" Cao Pi asked.
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiahou's Prince Consort has not yet fought, so you let him deal with Zhang Fei in the first battle. I'm afraid you are a little too high on him..."
"Zhang Fei only has three to five thousand cavalry. He has been raiding the counties of Tianshui for the past two months like rogue bandits. Even if he plundered some food and grass on the way, he cannot hold out for too long. Everyone speculates that Qishan Road is continuing to provide food. I asked my son to Lin led 30,000 troops out of Chang'an, which may have given him a great achievement." Cao Pi explained with a smile.
"A great achievement? It's difficult..." Jia Xu sighed and continued to add: "Zhang Fei has followed Liu Bei and traveled around the world for many years. His rich combat experience is not comparable to that of ordinary people. I am afraid that the number of people in Wei who can match him now can be counted with one hand. Of..."
"The so-called boxing is afraid of young people, so you should give it a try. The generals around Luoyang want to guard against Guan Yu, and we really can't find a suitable person." Cao Pi looked solemn.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "It's a pity that General Anyuan died of illness in Yecheng, otherwise this man can still be used."
Cao Pi sneered: "Yu Jin? No, no, this man was frightened out of his wits in Jingzhou. It's really ridiculous to ask me to be wary of Lan Tian's twelve or thirteen year old son..."
Yu Jin suffered a blow in Jingzhou. After returning to the Wei Kingdom from Jiangdong, his beard and hair were all white. He had long lost the spirit of commanding the army at that time. Cao Pi comforted him with kind words and even named him Anyuan General. However, Yu Jin was very excited and told Cao Pi to be wary of Lan Ji and threatened Wei. The country's young generation has no rival.
Cao Pi felt like someone had poured cold water on him. He felt that his good intentions were rewarded by Yu Jin for praising his enemies. When Yu Jin went to Yecheng to visit Cao Cao's tomb, Cao Pi specially ordered someone to draw a painting of "Guan Yu flooded seven armies, and Yu Jin knelt down to beg for surrender." ' In the scene, the scroll was sent to Cao Cao's tomb to be burned. After Yu Jin returned home, he died of shame and anger.
"Yu Wenze is a lone minister of the late emperor, so he should not exaggerate the enemy. The seven armies were previously destroyed by water, not due to losses in battle. Your Majesty should be wary of his advice. It is said that Lantian is as talented as Kong Ming and can train a general. It's not surprising." Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Yu Jin's past. He had been a lonely minister all his life, but in the end his life was miserable.
Cao Pi nodded, "The Taiwei reminds me that we should not just remember our faults and forget our merits. I will treat Yu Jin's descendants favorably. At present, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to attack Liangzhou, and Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty has a disobedient heart. If I don't If they want to unify the world, who should Sun Quan and Liu Bei seek first?"
"Your Majesty is good at accepting advice, and he will be a wise king in the prosperous times. However, the world is uncertain now. Liu Bei and Sun Quan are dividing the territory, splitting the land, and coveting the artifact. These two people can compete with the previous king. They are definitely not ordinary people. The Wei State owns the land of the nine states of Han Dynasty. The people are numerous and the products are rich. I suggest you to prepare armor and soldiers to wait for the right time. If you are impulsive and raise troops to attack rashly, it may not be beneficial to the Wei Dynasty..." Jia Xu indirectly gave the answer.
In his early years, Cao Pi followed Cao Cao in conquests from all over the world. He believed that he was not inferior to Cao Cao in martial arts and martial arts. He longed for the great feat of unifying the world, even though the respected Jia Xu poured cold water on him.
It also made the Wei emperor unhappy.
"Is the so-called timing really that important?" Cao Pi frowned.
"In the past, the late emperor defeated the Yellow Turban, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, defeated Yuan Shao, and defeated Liu Biao. He was in a turbulent sea. If he hadn't benefited from the timing and people's plans, it would have been difficult for His Majesty to lay the foundation of the Wei Kingdom." Jia Xu Nian said Take Cao Cao as an example.
Cao Pi asked: "The late Emperor did have an opportunity, but the Taiwei also said that he needs people to plan. I just need good ministers to assist me. May I ask how long I can wait for?"
"Although Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty is weak, he has the natural chasm of the Yangtze River at his back, and Wei's naval forces are unable to compete with him. As for the hero Liu Bei of Chengdu, he has occupied the territory of the three states and has many capable men and generals under his command. At this time, fighting with him for the world will probably hurt both sides. "What Wei has to wait for is Liu Bei's death and civil strife in Soochow..." Jia Xu replied.
"Liu Bei is over sixty, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are about the same age, but Zhuge Liang and others are in their prime. If they can live like Huang Zhong, how can I afford to wait? As for the civil strife in Soochow, what is the explanation? ?" Cao Pi asked in rapid succession. uuread a book
Jia Xu replied calmly: "Your Majesty has just passed his thirtieth year. Even if Liu Bei lives for another twenty years, he will not be able to outlive you. There are countless conflicts within Soochow, and the Huaisi generals and the Jiangdong gentry are naturally in conflict." , now that Lu Xun has replaced Lu Meng as the governor, the veteran believes that the Huaisi military generals have a lot of complaints; hearing that Han Dang is not getting along with Lu Meng's descendants, on the surface it is Han Zong who believes that Lu Meng killed Han Dang, but in reality the Huaisi Group has been reduced in military power. The two families are vying for advantage. Your Majesty can send detailed troops to go deep into the Wu area to draw out all these contradictions. If Sun Quan can't handle it well, he will be in chaos. In serious cases, he may commit regicide. At that time, it will not be too late for your Majesty to send troops to capture Wu. ..."
Although Cao Pi was unhappy just now, he still admired Jia Xu's analytical ability in his heart. However, life span is determined by God. Who can be sure that he will live a long life? However, when Jia Xu mentioned fine work just now, it immediately reminded Cao Pi of something.
"Taiwei, the late emperor asked you to use rumors against Liu Bei. Why has no good news come from Shu for a long time? Instead, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to go to Liangzhou to cause trouble?"
"Hey, the situation was urgent at that time. Although the veterans sent out a lot of help, not necessarily all of them were capable people. The small flames kept burning the big tree, not because the flames were careless, but because the big tree was too strong..." Jia Xu is a bit old. Unable to control himself, he told Cao Pi too many of his true thoughts, but loyal words can easily hurt others. Jia Xu could hear the dissatisfaction in Cao Pi's words, so he could only find a way to keep it inward.
"Small flames are not enough. The captain might as well throw a torch, including the torches used by Soochow. If there is no fire to extinguish in these places, won't they come to the Wei Dynasty to cause trouble?" Cao Pi raised his eyes.
"Uh...making torches takes time..." Jia Xu looked helpless, thinking that careful work can't be done quickly.
