The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 832 Collusion ([-])

Then, he consulted Zhong Yao and Sima Yi for their opinions.The words have been finished by Cao Zhen, and the views of the two of them will naturally not be much better than this, and at the same time they seconded Cao Zhen's views.

But Sima Yi still had something to add, and then he suggested to Cao Pi: "My lord, although General Cao Zhen's opinion is correct at the moment, we cannot rule out any unexpected situation in Yongzhou. After all, Wei Yan He is an arrogant person, so maybe he will do something unexpected. Governor Zhang himself is definitely top-notch in internal affairs, and he is also skilled in military affairs, but he may not be Wei Yan's opponent."

Cao Pi nodded and said, "What Zhongda said is not unreasonable. It seems that you are going to suggest sending a general to Yongzhou alone to help Zhang Ji, right?"

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise!"

Cao Pi smiled and said, "If that's the case, you might as well send General Zhang Jaw there. The troops under his command are also near Luoyang, and they can enter Guanzhong and Yongzhou areas as quickly as possible to fight."

It should be said that Cao Pi is indeed a monarch who knows people and makes good use of them.Zhang Jah, a famous general, has always played a very important role in the Cao Wei camp.Modesty and prudence prevail in this person, and he seldom loses battles in his life.With such a famous general to compete with Wei Yan, the weight must be enough.

But at this time, Cao Zhen stood up and said to Cao Pi: "My lord, the last general invites you to fight. Please allocate an army for the last general, and let the last general go to deal with Wei Yan's fellow. The last general promises that he will definitely fight." Bring Wei Yan's head back to Luoyang City!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.He likes Cao Zhen's aggressiveness, and he looks a little cute.

Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "No need, you general guarding the army should stay in Luoyang City and defend the city for me."

Cao Pi suddenly remembered that Cao Xiu, the Central Guard who died in Nanyang County the year before last, was gone, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Cao Zhen didn't do it, and said: "My lord, what is there to defend in Luoyang City? We have stationed a large number of troops here, and no one can attack it! You should let the last general go to Yongzhou for a visit?"

Cao Pi still refused to agree.But Cao Zhen's character is also stubborn, and he refused to give up. In the end, Cao Pi had no choice but to really agree to Cao Zhen's request, and even handed over the command of the Yongzhou front to Cao Zhen, and let Zhang Jaw Lead the army to join Cao Zhen's command.

Not only that, but Cao Pi also dispatched an army of 1 people from around Luoyang to defend Luoyang and handed it over to Cao Zhen for use.

It should be said that Cao Pi really cared for Cao Zhen.

Cao Pi then told Cao Zhendao: "The situation may become dangerous, so take care of yourself."

Cao Zhen nodded movedly, and said: "Don't worry, my lord. We have already prepared a plan to deal with this. Wei Yan and Ma Dai's troops came from a long distance, and the road in the middle of Sichuan is the most difficult, and the logistics supply must be extremely difficult. I will Even if they can't hold on, it's enough to make Wei Yan and the others exhausted from hunger, and they can only retreat hastily in the end!"

As soon as Cao Zhen said this, Sima Yi beside him couldn't help but gasped.He originally thought that Cao Zhen had an impetuous temperament and could only succeed with the help of Zhang Jaw, but he didn't expect that this person really had a strategy in his chest, and the countermeasure he thought of was exactly the same as what he thought in his heart!

Then, after Sima Yi's shrewd eyes swept across Cao Zhen's body, he immediately retracted it without being noticed, and just said: "General Cao Zhen's countermeasure is indeed very good, my lord, You can give this plan a try!"

When Cao Pi saw what Sima Yi said, he immediately agreed.

Now that the matter in Yongzhou has been settled, then the most troublesome thing in Soochow will be next.

Among the three important ministers here, Zhong Yao has the highest status and the highest official position. He first said: "My lord, the matter in Jiangdong is urgent. I feel that we must not let the Shu Han army eliminate Sun Zhongmou and annex him." took Jiangdong's territory."

Cao Pi asked, "What's the reason?"

"When Jiangdong is destroyed, the power of the Shu Han will grow stronger. At that time, the situation in the world will change from three powers fighting for hegemony to two tigers fighting. It is not a good thing for us, Great Wei."

Cao Pi nodded and asked Sima Yi his opinion on this matter.

Sima Yi said: "Judging by the current situation of the battle between the Shu Han Army and the Jiangdong Army, the current Shu Han Army should be unstoppable."

Zhong Yao frowned, and asked, "Does Zhongda mean that Jiangdong is bound to be destroyed by the Shu Han army?"

Sima Yi said humbly: "Maybe that's the case. This time it is no longer Guan Yu who leads the Jingzhou army, but the young Liu Adou. The army under this man has almost no experience when facing the Jiangdong army. Defeat. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that his army can wipe out a large number of Jiangdong Army's troops every time it fights, instead of conducting defeat battles one after another."

Cao Pi and the others immediately changed their expressions.

Sima Yi continued to explain: "If the Shu Han army only fought against the rout, Sun Zhongmou should still have a large number of troops under Sun Zhongmou's command until now. But since Liu Adou used the Yangtze River waterway as his troop transport route, he landed in Yuzhang County and fought. Zizi encircled and wiped out tens of thousands of Jiangdong Army. As a result, the Jiangdong Army was already seriously injured. Now, the Shu Han Army will definitely continue the previous annihilation battle, and the Jiangdong Army will continue to be reduced. In my opinion, Sun Zhongmou now The strength of the army is already stretched."

Cao Pi sighed, agreed with Sima Yi's point of view, and then asked: "Since we can't stop it, we can't save it, how should we deal with it?"

Sima Yi said: "Maybe, my lord, you can let General Le Jin lead the army of Nanyang County to attack Xiangyang County. In this case, maybe Liu Adou will suspend the attack on the Jiangdong Army and win a chance for Sun Zhongmou. In autumn, I suffered a loss at the hands of Brother Guan Xing, so I must be very willing to carry out this order."

Perhaps this strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao can really be tried.I just don't know if the final effect will be good.Cao Pi had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

On the same day, the secret envoy of the Shu Han suddenly came to Luoyang and sent a letter of credence from Liu Bei.

Cao Pi suddenly felt very surprised. When he got the letter of credence and read it, he was very surprised by the content inside.

It turned out that Liu Bei actually came to seek cooperation from Cao Pi—these two families are absolutely deadly rivals!Liu Bei asked Cao Pi not to interfere with the Shu Han army to destroy Jiangdong.Of course, he will also pay a corresponding price, that is, continue to use the navy to cut off the Yangtze River route. In this case, Jiangdong County north of the Yangtze River will be isolated and cut off from food and grass in the future.

At that time, Cao Wei's men and horses will be able to launch an offensive to take the two large counties north of the Yangtze River and Ruxukou, and bring all the Huaisi area into their own territory.

The condition Liu Bei gave was very much to Cao Pi's liking.

Cao Pi immediately summoned Zhong Yao and Sima Yi.Sima Yi actually supported Cao Pi and Liu Bei's collusion to destroy Wu, because once Zhu Zhi's army in Ruxukou lost the Jiangdong regime, Cao Wei might be able to recruit them to surrender.

At that time, Cao Wei will not only get a group of Jiangdong generals, but the most important thing is to get Jiangdong's elite navy from Ruxukou!
When Cao Pi was told by Sima Yi, there was no reason for him not to agree.

He immediately picked up his pen to show his literary talents, and returned a letter of credence to Liu Bei, and he agreed to the cooperation between the two parties!
This is the most realistic politics. For the sake of profit, even if the two parties are killing their fathers and enemies, they can still share the same bed, not to mention that they are just working together!
