After the generals dispersed, Cao Pi stretched himself.
He was in a good mood this time and couldn't help but said to the servant beside him: "Are there any beauties in the city?"
Queen Guo is not with her, and her wives and concubines are not with her either. When this feeling comes, there is no place to vent it.
The chamberlain quickly said: "I will find it for His Highness."
Cao Pi nodded. Seeing the servant hurried away, Cao Pi stopped him again and added: "Don't force others. There are other people's widows, and I don't want them."
Cao Pi knew exactly how his father fell in love with women and how his eldest brother died.
Women are just for venting, and it would be bad if they miss important things because of this.
The chamberlain immediately understood. He bowed to Cao Pi and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, she must be a woman with an innocent family background."
After making these instructions, Cao Pi let the servant go with confidence.
"Lord."
Sima Yi and Wu Zhi saluted Cao Pi.
"You two haven't left yet, are you ready to share your beauty with me?"
Be a like-minded person...
It doesn't seem impossible.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say, but I just didn't think of it."
Sima Yi looked very calm.
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Cao Pi looked quite curious.
"I'm afraid I won't be strong enough to send envoys to Yinling and Xuzhou."
"What does Zhongda mean?"
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, murderous look on his face.
"It should be accompanied by thunderous means. Yin Ling is a hundred miles away from Zang Ba's camp. Wu Dun guards Yin Ling precisely to protect the rebels' food route. Why doesn't the king order the leader, General Cao Xiu, to lead the tiger and leopard mounted guards to attack the food route? Let the rebels' food routes be blocked.
The tiger and leopard cavalry are the best in the world, and Wu Dun will not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field. At that time, we will spread rumors along the way that Wu Dun has rebelled, and we will drive a wedge between Zang Ba and Wu Dun. If we go out again, we may have unexpected results. "
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are among the most elite soldiers in the world.
Almost invincible in field battles.
It's so easy to do something like disturb the grain road.
It can even involve Zang Ba's army.
If Zang Ba really can't stand it anymore, come out of the camp and eliminate him in the field!
"This plan works!"
Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi with approval in his eyes.
"In order to cooperate with Jiang Gong who is on an envoy to Xuzhou, we should spread rumors along the way. The rumors about Xuzhou are: Wu Dun has returned to Wei, Zang Ba has become a turtle in the urn, and his defeat is not far away. As for the rumors about Zang Ba, It’s: Yi Li has rebelled, and Zang Ai is dead!”
On the battlefield, the game is psychology, and the game is intelligence!
Cao Pi nodded.
"Just do as Zhongda says!"
On the battlefield, you can win by killing head-on, but you can also win by playing with psychology!
"But to achieve the effect, the connection between Xuzhou and Zang Ba must be severed."
If you want to spread rumors and make them believe it, you will naturally beat them to deafness and muteness.
otherwise...
Once the messengers are sent and the two sides are in communication, no matter how beautiful the rumor is, it will be self-defeating.
"With tigers and leopards riding on them, they are invincible in the field and intercepting messengers will be easy."
By cutting off contact, blocking food routes, and under high pressure, Zang Ba might be able to be forced out!
When the time comes, it will be decided in one battle.
Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help laughing.
My mood was so good.
"Ji Zhong, do you also have a report?"
After Sima Yi retreated, Cao Pi turned to look at Wu Zhi.
"Your Majesty has indeed reported."
After Wu Zhi left the hall just now, he immediately received some reports about the crown prince of Hanzhong in Runan, and hurried to see Cao Pi again.
"Liu Gongsi used troops in Runan. Although he did not attack the city and plunder the territory, he sent troops to plunder the territory of Runan. A total of 50,000 to 60,000 people were moved to Jingzhou by him. All counties and counties in Runan were affected by it. Without spring plowing and sowing, the losses will be even greater, especially since he sent an elite cavalry into the hinterland of Runan County and plundered our army's food teams again and again. Now, our army's food routes are not very smooth."
After hearing this, Cao Pi's face suddenly darkened.
The good mood I had just now disappeared completely.
"Is this happening?"
A look of surprise appeared on his face at first, and then his anger rose, and he snorted coldly and said: "Is it possible that the defenders of the cities in Runan County are just a display? With tens of thousands of people, how can Jingzhou soldiers roam freely in the county?" Is it even threatening the food road?"
He could threaten Zang Ba's food road, because Zang Ba went deep into enemy territory and only had one food road.
If it is cut off, food and grass will be in danger.
In his own territory, although there are many food routes,...
Hundreds of thousands of people chewed and swallowed the horses, and the consumption was an astronomical figure. Without a food road, it would be difficult to operate.
In addition, more than half of the food and grass in front were burned by Jiangdong Sun Quan's sneak attack.
After going back and forth, the problem of food and grass became more prominent.
When two armies are fighting, food and grass are the most important thing.
If food and grass are not supplied and something goes wrong, the morale of the army will be unstable.
Even though he has more than 100,000 people, as long as there is a problem with food and grass, millions of people will be useless.
"Your Majesty, Liu Gongsi has come with his elite troops. It is understandable that the Runan County defenders will not leave the city. If they go out to fight and lose, the city will not be protected." Wu Zhi is the Runan County defender. absolve.
"Then you huddle in the city and watch the Jingzhou soldiers plundering Runan? Or even threaten the grain route?"
Cao Pi's eyes were sharp. He looked at Wu Zhi and asked, "Ji Chong, what should I do about this matter?"
An adviser has the role of an adviser. He can't think of a way to deal with it in a short period of time, so he naturally needs help from professionals.
"Why doesn't your Majesty form an alliance with Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong?"
Alliance?
Wu Zhi's words were too out of the ordinary.
Even Cao Pi was used to seeing strong winds and waves. He couldn't turn his head and was stunned for a while.
After a moment, Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhi with a shocked expression and asked:
"Ji Zhong, are you kidding me? Alliance? It's not that I don't want alliance, it's that he doesn't want to listen!"
Cao Pi had also sent envoys to Jingzhou before, but nothing happened.
At this critical moment, Zang Ba wanted to unite the three parties and strike a fatal blow with him. How cunning a man Liu Gongsi was, he would not agree to the alliance.
"Send the envoy over and make a gesture. Whatever Mr. Liu wants, we will agree to it."
After hearing Wu Zhi's words, Cao Pi gradually came to his senses.
"What Ji Zhong means is that Gu sent the envoy there and did not sincerely form an alliance?"
Wu Zhi nodded and said: "The prince of Hanzhong, Mr. Liu, is very cunning. It doesn't hurt that Kuang Zai sells his land. The king cannot grant the benefits that Zang Ba can promise him. The king has no leverage to persuade Liu Chan. "
certainly...
There is another reason that Wu Zhi didn't say.
Your Majesty, your wife has been robbed by him, are you willing to form an alliance with that Liu Gongsi?
"My intention is to pretend to form an alliance with Liu Gongsi, hold him back, and buy ten days and a half for His Highness. As long as Jingzhou can be separated, Jiangdong and Zang Ba are nothing to the king. !”
"good!"
Wu Zhi's words touched Cao Pi's heart.
What do Zang Ba and Sun Quan count?
His biggest enemy has always been Mr. Liu!
If Jingzhou does not participate in the war, Zang Ba and Sun Quan can be destroyed with a flip of his hands!
"Just follow Ji Zhong's arrangements!"
Wu Zhi nodded lightly and said, "I would like to be an envoy to Xiyang."
Go on a mission in person?
Cao Pi frowned and said, "It's too risky to send an envoy. If it doesn't work, send someone else."
Although the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy, there are exceptions to everything.
Wu Zhi was his loyal minister, and he did not dare to take such a risk.
"Your Highness, please go ahead and show your sincerity, and then Mr. Liu will trust you. Please think again, Your Highness."
The legendary Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Gongsi, Wu Zhi, also wanted to see what kind of person he was.
He was able to stir up the world with his youthful appearance.
"My most important minister, you are the only one who has the ear!"
Cao Pi still disagreed.
"No big deal, just bring more gold, silver, and silk."
Wu Zhi is his arm, Cao Zihuan, and cannot be allowed to be involved in danger.
"In this case, Your Highness should finalize this matter as soon as possible. In addition, you can also spread the news that Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has made an alliance with the king to disturb Zang Ba's army!"
Wu Zhi was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered and began to offer suggestions for Cao Pi.
I can't see Liu Gongsi today, but one day I will be able to see him.
The king's old enemy, he naturally wants to meet for a while!
"Let's make arrangements now!"
Under multiple blows, can this Zang Ba remain undefeated?
....
Xiyang City.
The backyard of the government office in the city.
With a violent gasp, the earthquake that shook the earth seemed to have ended.
The wooden bed stopped squeaking, and even the cold wind outside the window seemed to have stopped.
Phew~
Liu Chan slowly exhaled a breath.
After waiting for several months, we finally took down Zhen Mi’s big car!
A luxury car is a luxury car, and once you sit in it, it feels really different when driving!
"Your Highness, you will still call me Mi'er or Madam from now on. Cao Pi, King of Wei, has long since drawn the line between concubine and me. There is no need to call me Princess Wei."
Before entering the room, Zhen Mi still wanted to use her experienced room skills to let Liu Chan keep her in mind.
After knowing the taste of the marrow, I can never do without her, I want to be happy every day!
For this little boy, she is in the age of tiger and wolf, but she still can't win?
result...
Her seemingly experienced skills in the room are not as many as a hair in Liu Chan's nine bulls.
It is really...
Too perverted.
Even the title is always Mrs. Cao, Princess Wei.
Zhen Mi had never seen such a scene before.
Even when he speaks now, he is a bit cowardly, and a look of weakness is evident in his words.
She was really tired.
I have never been so tired in my life.
certainly...
Tired and happy, but really.
This was also a feeling she had never experienced in her life.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit it.
She was getting deep into it.
"Madam, let's take a rest for the time being. I still have business to do."
How could he not know Zhen Mi's thoughts?
After being gentle with Zhen Mi for a while, Liu Chan got up and changed his clothes.
When you put on pants, you become tough.
Fortunately, several of Hua Tuo's disciples followed him and nursed him back to health, otherwise...
Today's tough battle, my physical strength can't keep up.
Liu Chan had only felt this feeling with Mrs. Bu.
The Year of the Tiger and the Wolf is indeed no joke.
In comparison, Guan Yinping's moves can only be described as desserts and appetizers before a meal.
From the backyard to the lobby of Fuzhong.
Liu Chan sat on the main seat.
"Is there any news from the front?"
After sitting up straight and drinking a cup of hot tea, Liu Chan began to get into working mode.
"Your Highness, there is no news from General Zhang Bao. I guess there shouldn't be much of a problem. The scouts who went to Shouchun came with news that Zang Ba was indeed stationed on the east bank of the Fei River, holding back Cao Pi's ten troops. Wan Dajun..."
Fei Yi briefly explained the situation to Liu Chan.
"Even if the cavalry led by Zhang Bao goes deep into enemy territory, as long as they move fast enough, there should be no danger."
The city guards in Runan County all acted like cows. Seeing them like this, Liu Chan also became aggressive.
Immediately sent Zhang Bao as the military envoy and Han Yao as the military envoy Sima, leading 3,000 cavalry deep into Runan. While plundering the population, they also raided the Wei army's food routes in order to draw out the troops in the city.
only...
At present, it seems that it has only achieved the purpose of plundering the people and disturbing the grain roads, but it is still far from the point of drawing out the defenders in Runan City.
but...
If you can't occupy the city and gain some valuable people, it won't be a loss.
Fifty or sixty thousand people have already moved to various counties in Jingzhou.
With these plundered people joining the spring plowing, Jingzhou's recovery speed will be further accelerated.
"Your Highness, now that we have found out that what Zang Ba's envoy said is true, and that the grain and grass will be transported to Jiangxia County through the Jiangdong waterway, your Highness is going to send troops?"
send troops?
This soldier is not so easy to produce.
How many soldiers' lives would it take to attack hundreds of miles and visit more than ten cities along the way?
"Is there anyone in the cities along the Huai River who is willing to surrender?"
Now that everyone is in Runan, Liu Chan's housekeeping skills are naturally put to use.
Public opinion offensive!
I, Liu Chan, am a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and I will fight against Cao Ni on behalf of your majesty. Now that the army has arrived, if you follow the general trend, quickly bring order to the chaos and open the door to accept surrender!
certainly...
Cao Wei in Runan County has been in business for many years, and the oppression is not as severe as in Nanyang County, so his rebellion is not strong in his heart.
In addition, Cao Pi had to send his confidants into the city to control the situation along the way, which also made it difficult for Liu Chan to achieve his goal.
"There was a response from Xinxi City, but there was no movement from the other cities."
If he could obtain the cities along the Huai River, Liu Chan could use the Huai River to go down the river and reach Shouchun in three to five days.
This is naturally the most radical way.
They only controlled the cities along the river without consolidating the grain roads. Once the cities fell, they would be trapped in a tight siege.
He, Liu Chan, would definitely not make dangerous moves.
"I don't believe that we should make the battle bigger and ask Zhang Bao to make more noise in Runan County. These generals in Runan County are willing to be cowards. Can Cao Pi bear it?"
In fact, for Liu Chan in the current situation, it is best to stay stable.
Now, while Wei Guoteng is unable to take action, he is frantically sucking the blood of Wei State.
Next time, there will be no such opportunity.
However, blindly sucking blood is definitely not possible, this little sharp ear!
Let Zang Ba gain power and let the power of Wei fall. This is what Liu Chan wants to do.
Small things are easy but big things are difficult!
"Your Highness, if you wait a few days, when reinforcements from Hanzhong arrive, there may be a way to break the situation."
After Liu Bei withdrew his troops from Hanzhong, more than ten thousand soldiers in Hanzhong, led by Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, entered Xiangyang through the trails of the three eastern counties. After a few days, they could reach Xiyang.
There is no need to say more about Zhao Yun.
Back then, the person who could take Liu Chan, a baby like him, out of an army of millions, entering and exiting seven times, was one of the most powerful generals in the world.
In a battle between generals and enemies, who dares to defeat Zhao Zilong?
And Kongming's military advisor was even more of a think tank, known as Wolong, and the scholars called him Yi and Luye of the time!
He has the talent of Wang Zuo!
In the current situation, perhaps Zhuge Liang can provide himself with different suggestions.
