That night, Jiang Wei invited Yu Yongqi to have a drink at the hotel. During the day, he saw Yu Yongqi was in a bad mood in the court hall. After receiving the invitation, Yu Yongqi happily went to the appointment. Yu Yongqi was sent to Chang'an by Yu Yi to assist Jiang Wei in the late Northern Expedition, also to train him. However, Jiang Wei thought that Yu Yongqi was sent by Yu Yi to monitor him, so he became very wary. After several Northern Expeditions, he He found that although this young man was the son of the prime minister, he had no selfish motives. He ate and lived with ordinary soldiers and was at the forefront on the battlefield, so he changed his impression. After a communication, he found that Yu Yongqi was a handsome man. It happened that Wu Hou had nothing to teach, so he set Yu Yongqi as his target. The two were similar in age and became best friends.
Yu Yongqi entered the hotel, bowed, and began to sit down. He picked up the wine glass, apologized to Jiang Wei, and said, "My father made such a decision and caused you trouble. I will first express my apology on my behalf."
Jiang Wei was a little puzzled and asked, "Since you knew this decision was unreasonable, why didn't you persuade me?"
Yu Yongqi smiled and said: "Above the court, I really want to have a seizure, but I think there is something in what my father said."
Jiang Wei thought about it and felt that it made sense, and said: "Based on my understanding of Your Majesty, it is true that you will not ask us to retreat when we are victorious."
At this moment, there was a sound outside the door, and at some point, Yu Yi came over. He had already heard the conversation between the two of them, praised Yu Yongqi, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My son has matured a lot." After that, he also sat in the banquet.
Jiang Wei was still stunned on the spot. When Yu Yi saw this, he smiled and said, "Why, don't you welcome me?"
Jiang Wei regained his composure and said, "When Your Majesty comes, it is really a sin for me not to greet him from afar."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "You're welcome. You have made many northern expeditions to the Central Plains for Shu Han, and this time you were even more successful. How should I reward you!"
When Jiang Wei heard this, his expression was a little bad, but he just said modestly: "It's embarrassing to say that the Northern Expedition was blocked by Deng Ai many times and did not achieve any achievements. The Northern Expedition is not mentioned at all."
Yu Yi looked at Yu Yongqi and said, "You can just continue."
Yu Yongqi spoke bluntly and said: "General Jiang Wei and I were fighting on the front line, why did my father recall us!"
Yuyi nodded and didn't come back immediately. He just drank some wine and said with a smile, "I'm here to solve your doubts."
The atmosphere at the scene seemed very quiet. Yu Yi smiled and said, "Actually, I have control over the matter of Deng Ai sending the envoy. Now I have a big plan." So how will Yu Yi let Huang Lei pretend to be , and also talked about Zhou Qiao.
After all, Jiang Wei had obtained the true biography of Marquis Wu, and he thought about the problem from a similar perspective. He quickly understood the implication and asked, "Is your Majesty preparing to fight on two fronts?"
Yuyi smiled, pulled off his clothes, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Jiang Wei paid his respects and said: "Wei has Deng Ai, who is a very difficult opponent. Our Northern Expedition is not sure of victory. Now we will be in a confrontation. If Your Majesty launches another battle in Soochow, if we do not establish achievements, , making the alliance between Wei and Wu, then we, Shu, will be in danger, not to mention that Wu is our ally, so we have no reason to attack."
Yu Yi nodded and said: "Your analysis is correct. However, Wei is a big country, and although Wu is an ally, it can never be of the same mind as us. If the stalemate continues, after a hundred years, Shu Han will fall into decline and will be conquered by Wei sooner or later. If so, will Soochow still be an ally at this time?"
After hearing this, Yu Yongqi thought for a while and said, "This must be the reason why father called us back this time."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "Yes, now the Wei State must have thought that our rulers and ministers were not getting along, so they took it lightly. I watched the sky at night and found that the Wei State might also change its owner. This means that the Cao family will soon be replaced by the Sima family. Besides, Soochow has just completed its political power. Alternately, the people in the country are unstable, and Zhou Qiao represents my will, but is bullied by Soochow for no reason. This is stepping on the majesty of our Shu Han. In summary, I think now is the best time to send troops on two fronts. "
Jiang Wei also understood his good intentions after hearing this. He had been on the Northern Expedition for many years, and he knew that Xishu, as a hinterland of mountains and rivers, was still far behind the Central Plains in terms of population and economy. If this continued, he would inevitably resort to force.
Hou's old path and many years of duels with Deng Ai reminded him of the old duel between Wu Hou and Sima Yi. He really wanted to fulfill Wu Hou's legacy, so he took out the map, bowed and said, "I hope your Majesty will teach you." I."
Yu Yi pointed at Chang'an and said: "Luoyang is the foundation of the Wei State. If we can capture Luoyang, the Wei State will definitely be in chaos. As for Soochow, you should write a letter and tell Soochow to send troops together. I will If I personally lead a team of troops, mobilize all the troops in Jingzhou, raid Jiangxia, and then capture Kuaiji with lightning speed, then the soldiers of Soochow will be brave, and it will be easy to unify Soochow."
Yu Yongqi said: "Please ask father to take me with you to attack Soochow. I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Yu Yi waved his hand and said: "You'd better help Jiang Wei. I think you can start from Chang'an, Jiang Wei will lead the way, and you will lead the way to the Weinan camp, and then cross the Yellow River to attack the local Yanzhou."
After Jiang Wei heard this, his eyes lit up and he sighed: "In the past, Marquis Wu proposed the strategy of dividing the world into three parts in Longzhong, which had a great influence. Now, Your Majesty has proposed the strategy of two-pronged warfare. If we attack the city, it will definitely go down in history." !」
The three of them drank heavily that night, and Jiang Wei's view of Yu Yi further changed, and Yu Yongqi also admired his father very much.
Besides, Dangjun returned to the Weinan camp and reported the matter to Deng Ai. Deng Ai said to Sima Wang: "There must be civil strife if the emperor and his ministers are not in harmony." So he asked him to go to Luoyang to report the situation.
In Luoyang, Sima Zhao had just absorbed the evil power and was gradually digesting it. He was very happy to hear the news of the victory on the front line. He paid attention to the protective shield set up by the ancient books every day. He was also very happy to know that the light was fading. , with the intention of plotting Western Shu. Although he could not use magic, ordinary soldiers could still attack Western Shu, so he asked Jia Chong, the central guard, "How about my attack on Shu now?"
He replied: "It's not possible for the time being. Now the emperor has some doubts about the lord. Once he wants to attack Shu, he will come out and find a way to stop it. Huanglong appeared in Ningling Well twice before, and all the officials were congratulating them, thinking it was auspicious. But the emperor said that it was not auspicious. He said that the dragon represented the king. It neither flew to the sky nor went to the fields, but was hidden in the well, which was a sign of trouble."
After hearing this, Sima Zhao was very angry and said to him: "I think this person is planning to imitate Cao Fang. If he didn't make a plan earlier, he might also come to harm me."
Jia Chong said: "I am willing to plot for my lord sooner or later."
It was the summer and April of Ganlu's fifth year in the Wei Dynasty. Sima Zhao went to the palace with his sword. Cao Mao stood up to greet him. The officials said: "The general has great merits and virtues. He should be promoted to Duke of Jin and be awarded nine tins."
Cao Mao lowered his head and did not answer. Sima Zhao was very angry and said sternly: "We, father, son and brother, have made great contributions to the State of Wei. Now as the Duke of Jin, what is inappropriate?"
He replied: "Then do as you wish."
