So Yu Yi got out of the car and walked. He was very familiar with Kong Ming's mansion, but now he was worried about his identity and the ministers around him, so he couldn't go in directly. When he came to the third door, he saw Kong Ming leaning on a bamboo stick and walking Fish were being fed by the pond. Yu Yi observed from behind for a long time and found nothing unusual in the pond. He chuckled and said, "Is the prime minister's health okay?" Kongming heard the sound and turned around to see that it was the Lord of Shu. , was very flustered, threw the stick aside, and said: "I deserve to die!"
Yu Yi stepped forward to help him up and said: "You should know the recent events. I didn't expect that Cao Pi suddenly divided his troops into five groups. It was said that the military situation was urgent. I didn't want to disturb the prime minister, but the ministers were worried, so I had no choice but to come. I stopped by. look at you!"
Kong Ming laughed loudly after hearing this, led everyone into the inner room to sit down, and said: "I naturally know about the five-way attack. In fact, I am not looking at the fish, I am thinking about how to deal with it!"
Yu Yi said: "So that's it, I'm willing to listen to the Prime Minister's opinion!"
He replied: "Qiang King Ke Bineng, Barbarian King Meng Huo, counter-general Meng Da, and Wei general Cao Zhen, I have already retreated. Even Sun Quan and his troops, I have a preliminary idea, but I need someone who can An eloquent person will serve as an envoy. I don’t know who to send yet, so I am thinking about it. Your Majesty does not need to worry.”
In fact, Yu Yi also had an idea, but after listening to Prime Minister Kong Ming's words, he knew that the matter had been settled, so he praised: "I have long heard that the first master gained the world when he got you. Looking at it now, it turns out that there are ghosts and gods." You know the secret, I hope you can continue to tell me the specific method of retreating."
Kong Ming smiled and said: "The late master has great trust. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is about to get married. How could I neglect such a thing? All the officials in Chengdu don't know the art of war, so the only person who can discuss it with me is you, your Majesty." I didn't want to be disturbed by them, and I was also afraid that Cao Pi would take the lead and leak my thoughts to others, so I couldn't get out of my illness. I had always known that King Ke Bineng of Xifan led his troops to attack Xiping Pass. , I know that Ma Chao is very familiar with the situation there and has a good relationship with the Qiang people. Because Ma Chao is very brave, he became General Tianwei. I have sent a person to send Ma Chao to guard Xiping Pass. Four groups of strange troops have been ambushed, and they will be returned every day and blocked directly, so there is no need to worry about this route. In addition, Meng Huo of the Southern Barbarians marched to attack the four counties. I have also sent Wei Yan with a group of troops to go out from the left and enter from the right as suspected soldiers. The barbarian soldiers Although the horses are brave, they have no strategy. If they see suspicious soldiers, they will definitely not dare to attack. There is no need to worry about this journey. Besides, the traitor general Meng Da led his troops to attack Hanzhong. Meng Da, Li Yan and I are a matter of life and death. Hand in hand, when I returned to Chengdu, I left Li Yan in Yong'an Palace. I have written a letter in the name of Li Yan and sent it to Meng Da. After Meng Da received the letter, he would definitely excuse himself because of his illness. Out, then there is no need to worry about this journey. In addition, Cao Zhen led troops and horses to attack Yangping Pass. This place is very dangerous and can be defended. I have sent Zhao Yun with a team of troops to guard the pass and will not leave the station. Cao Zhen saw If we don't come out, we will retreat soon. So there is no need to be afraid of these four groups. I am afraid that there is no guarantee that everything will be safe. I also sent Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to station 30,000 troops to rescue each group in critical places. These transfer orders did not pass through Chengdu, so no one in Chengdu was aware of it, and it was even less likely that there was news from Cao Pi. Currently, there are only the Soochow troops, and there is no other way. If the Fourth Route Army wins, then Central Sichuan will be in danger. Soochow will definitely attack us. If all four armies are retreated, Soochow will not move. I speculate that Sun Quan must still be resentful of Cao Pi's three armies attacking Soochow, and may not necessarily agree to attack us, but still I need someone who can speak eloquently and go to Soochow to lobby, so that there will be no hidden dangers along the way to Soochow, and there will be no problems on the other routes. But I didn’t get anyone who can go to Soochow, so I I was hesitating, but now that His Majesty has come in person, it’s really..."
Yu Yi smiled helplessly and said: "Originally I didn't think of it as anything, but the Queen Mother went to my place, and all the officials came to advise me. There was really no other way, so I came here. I didn't expect that you had already thought about retreating." The enemy’s method is really clever.”
Kong Ming bowed and said: "Now that you are the emperor, as a minister, you should share your worries."
Yu Yi sighed and said, "If I were not a member of the Shu Kingdom's national army, I would definitely go to the front line."
So Kong Ming ordered his servants to prepare a banquet, and the two began to drink. Yu Yi said: "The prime minister has considered the issue very carefully. I am afraid that Cao Pi's five-pronged army will not be able to take advantage at all. They are really my subordinates. The situation in Jingzhou is relatively stable now. I want to give Huang Shumin and others the dispatch power." for you!"
After hearing this, Kong Ming stood up, shook his head, and said: "They are all old men who follow His Majesty. It would be better for Your Majesty to lead them personally."
Seeing that Kong Ming refused to accept it, Yu Yi changed the topic and said: "In the past, the first lord made Chengdu his capital, and further ahead, Liu Zhang was also the lord of Chengdu. According to the geography, Chengdu is very safe, but our purpose It’s not that we want to live a comfortable life. Setting the capital in Chengdu is also announcing to the outside world that we want to live in one place. This is not in line with the political vision, so I want to move the capital with simple conditions. I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?”
Kong Ming said: "The matter of moving the capital needs to be handled with caution. Your Majesty can raise it at the Chao meeting and let everyone discuss it."
Yu Yi raised a second question and said: "Nowadays, the talented people of the previous generation have passed away, and there is a large outflow of talents from central Sichuan, which is not conducive to our training of talent teams. Conspiracy in the Central Plains is not a temporary thing, we need to lay the foundation. I don't know Kong Ming What are your thoughts on talent?"
Kong Ming said: "I am also thinking about this issue and want to cultivate some talents."
Yu Yi said: "I think it is feasible. Otherwise, the Prime Minister will be responsible for planning all matters, which will be very tiring and detrimental to the Prime Minister's health."
Kong Ming was very moved after hearing this. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will die with dedication."
Yu Yi quickly stepped forward to help Kong Ming up and said, "There is one last question, which is, should we attack Soochow first or Cao Wei first?"
Regarding this issue, Kong Ming was very determined and said: "We adhere to the mission of reviving the Han Dynasty, so naturally we will attack Cao Wei first and then destroy Soochow."
Yu Yi smiled and said: "According to Longzhong's idea, Xichuan and Jingzhou sent troops from two directions. Now Jingzhou only has half of the land. At that time, Guan Yu attacked Cao Wei, but was attacked by Soochow. This lesson is profound. At the same time, Xichuan has mountains and rivers. Blocking is an innate advantage for defense, but it is also a weakness for us in attacking Cao Wei. How can we get food and grass across mountains and ridges?"
