The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 896 The world changes hands ([-])

In Moling City, the detailed information compiled by Ruxukou was also sorted out and sent to Liu Chan.

The surrender of Zhu Zhi and his son really made Cao Pi very happy.Of course, Xu Sheng left with more than half of the army, which was somewhat unexpected by Cao Wei's side, and it has to be said that it is a pity.

But being able to get talents like Zhu Zhi and his son, and a fierce general like Dong Xi, especially these people filled the vacancy of the generals of the navy in Cao Wei.Therefore, such a result has already made Cao Pi feel very satisfied.

Therefore, in order to show the generosity and importance of the new lord, high-standard rewards are of course indispensable in everyone's expectations.However, in fact, Cao Pi's rewards for Jiangdong's descendants were somewhat delayed.When Liu Chan got the relevant information, nearly a month had passed, and Cao Wei hadn't added officials to Zhu Zhi and others.

At this time, the war north of the Yangtze River had long since ended.Cao Ren entered Shouchun City as the governor, but the navy was still handed over to Zhu Zhi's father to command.

As for the father and son Sima Yi and Sima Shi, because Sima Yi joined the army with Cao Ren, now that the combat role has been completed, he has already left the army first and returned to Luoyang City to deliver the mission to Cao Pi.

Sima Shi acted more sadly this time. Originally, he wanted to go to Zhu Zhi's side to perform well. After all, the danger is limited, but the credit that can be made is huge, so it is worth taking the risk. .But what he didn't expect was that he was caught by Xu Sheng's men and was almost killed.Even though he was released later, he almost fell ill from fright.He was also unwilling to stay in Cao Ren's army, so he followed Sima Yi to Luoyang.

In order to cooperate with Liu Chan to achieve peace with Cao Wei's army, Quan Cong has completely given up the aggressive combat strategy and just continued to use superior naval forces to block the waterway from Ruxukou into the Yangtze River, but he did not easily provoke Zhu Zhi's navy .

In addition, Zhu Zhi's side had just surrendered, and the gap between his own military strength and Quan Cong's side was very large, so of course he didn't want to take the initiative to provoke Quan Cong's troops.In this way, the two armies have temporarily formed a "low-intensity" military confrontation state, and conflicts will not easily break out.

From Zhuge Qiao's report, Liu Chan read and read the above news one by one, and felt that some of the situations in it were unavoidable to make people feel strange.

So Liu Chan summoned Xu Xiang, an intelligence officer who is still in charge of intelligence collection.When Zhuge Qiao was injured and bedridden, Xu Xiang worked very hard and efficiently, so even after Zhuge Qiao came back now, Liu Chan had no plans to dismiss Xu Xiang.Liu Chan just asked Zhuge Qiao to continue to organize the paperwork, while Xu Xiang's final collection of information was still Zhuge Qiao's.

Liu Chan immediately consulted Zhuge Qiao and Xu Xiang for their opinions on the contents.

Then, Liu Chan suddenly discovered that among them, Cao Pi had been slow to add officials to Zhu Zhi and others, which revealed a strong political atmosphere.

Xu Xiang has a lot of experience in the officialdom. After thinking about it, he said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, could this be because Cao Pi saw that Zhu Zhi and his son allowed Xu Sheng to leave safely with the army without stopping him, so In fact, he had a deep distrust of Zhu Zhi and his son in his heart. So why did he delay rewarding Zhu Zhi and his son, Dong Xi and others?"

There is indeed some truth in what Xu Xiang said, Liu Chan nodded and looked at Zhuge Qiao.

After Zhuge Qiao got the instruction, he said: "With Cao Pi's naturally suspicious character, it may be possible to make such suspicions. But such a statement is actually not without problems. Zhu Zhi and others are newly surrendered now. General, whether it is to conquer the morale of the army, or to make that event have enough political influence, no matter how much he suspects Zhu Zhi now, he must first express his trust in Zhu Zhi and create a generous personality for himself. The image of a magnanimous monarch. It is obviously unreasonable for Cao Pi to delay awarding the reward."

Hearing what Zhuge Qiao said, Liu Chan's heart moved, and he said: "A Qiao's analysis will be more sensible. Therefore, the reason for this may be because of Luoyang. Xu Xiang, you should report Luoyang immediately. Condition."

After Xu Xiang finished his report, Liu Chan found that the spies obviously didn't collect enough information there.However, Liu Chan can already faintly feel that a month or two has passed since Cao Pi traveled from Yecheng to Luoyang, and the war north of the Yangtze River has ended. According to his past style, he can't wait to go back to Yecheng for a long time. Happy.

Therefore, Cao Pi has continued to stay in Luoyang City until now, and he must still be secretly planning some conspiracy.

conspiracy? !If it weren't for the big conspiracy, there would be no one with Cao Pi's status to personally participate in it.

But now that the war is over, Zhu Zhi's men have surrendered, and the situation has stabilized.It is absolutely impossible for Cao Wei's army to continue to attack south again when it lacks the navy as the vanguard to break through the control of the Yangtze River waterway of Quan Cong and Zhou Cheng's two fleets.

What's more, Sima Yi had already left Cao Ren's army and returned to Luoyang City by himself.This is the signal that Cao Wei's army wants to cease fighting.

Liu Chan's heart was moved again, and he immediately ordered Xu Xiang to check the construction situation of Luoyang City immediately.

Although Xu Xiang didn't know why Liu Chan suddenly switched from major events like Cao Pi and the war to the construction of Luoyang City.Luoyang City has been undergoing reconstruction work. Many people know about these things, but no one seems to be paying attention to the process.

However, since the son had already given the order, Xu Xiang could only work on it.

Ten days later, Xu Xiang finally sent Liu Chan a message.The work efficiency of the governor of Hedong County and Cao Wei Shangshu Du Ji is astonishing. It took only a few years to restore most of Luoyang City, which was almost burned to ruins.

Therefore, Xu Xiang concluded and told Liu Chan that it might be because the revival project of Luoyang City was completed very well that Cao Pi lived comfortably in Luoyang City, so he was not in a hurry to go back to Yecheng.

Hearing this, Liu Chan couldn't help but glared at Xu Xiang.Such Zhu Tou San's conclusion would actually come from his intelligence officer's mouth?Although Cao Pi is lustful, he is not a person who only knows how to seek pleasure. Xu Xiang's conclusion is really impossible to hold.

Xu Xiang was so stared at by Liu Chan that he didn't dare to speak any more.
