Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 722
Jia Xu finished speaking slowly, causing Cao Pi to fall into deep thought. This seemingly kind-hearted old man in front of him has a sharp and unique vision, which is much better than those who are fighting for power and profit in the court.

"The Taiwei guessed it was Liu Bei's conspiracy?" Cao Pi frowned.

"Several of Liu Bei's advisers are still alive. The tactics may come from Pang Tong and Fazheng. The strategy should be Zhuge Liang, right? After all, he was the one who proposed the Longzhong Opinion." Jia Xu guessed.

Cao Pi was a little sad when he heard that Cao Wei had all his strategic and tactical advisers, but unfortunately they have passed away one by one, and even Jia Xu, who could rely on him in the end, is now very old.

Why did you kill Zhongda?Cao Pi wanted to ask Cao Cao very much.

When encountering difficulties, Cao Pi can always think of this old friend, and every time he thinks of it, he feels ashamed of Sima Yi, but it's a pity that the grave of Sima's family is covered with grass.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were in Jianye, so Chen Qun and others secretly tried to help them. Cao Pi also turned a blind eye. After so many years of friendly cooperation, he believed that it was impossible for the Henan gentry to switch to Sun Quan.

"According to Zi Yang's suggestion, I sent Xiahou Zilin (Xiahoumao) to break the Qishan grain road, maybe Zhang Fei can retreat?" Cao Pi asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled wryly: "Xiahou's son-in-law has never fought before, and you let him deal with Zhang Fei in the first battle. I'm afraid you think too highly of him."

"Zhang Fei has only three to five thousand cavalry, and they have harassed the counties in Tianshui like bandits for the past two months. Even if they plundered some food and grass on the way, they couldn't hold on for too long. Everyone guessed that Qishan Road was continuing to supply food. Zilin led [-] troops out of Chang'an, maybe he gave him a great service." Cao Pi explained with a smile.

"Great contribution? Difficult." Jia Xu sighed and continued to add: "Zhang Fei has followed Liu Bei for many years, and his rich combat experience is incomparable. I am afraid that Wei Guo can match him now, and I am afraid that he can count it with one hand."

"The so-called boxing is afraid of the young, so you should give it a try. The generals around Luoyang want to guard against Guan Yu, and they really can't find a suitable person." Cao Pi's expression was solemn.

Jia Xu said: "It's a pity that General Anyuan (Yu Jin) died of illness in Yecheng, otherwise this person can still be used."

Cao Pi sneered: "Yu Jin? No, no, this man was scared out of his wits in Jingzhou, and asked me to be wary of Lantian's twelve or thirteen-year-old son. It's really ridiculous."

Yu Jin suffered a blow in Jingzhou. After returning from Jiangdong to Wei, his beard and hair were all white. No one in China's young generation is its opponent.

Cao Pi felt as if someone had poured cold water on him, feeling that his good intentions had been exchanged for Yu Jin to flatter the enemy. Taking advantage of Yu Jin's opportunity to visit Cao Cao's tomb in Yecheng, Cao Pi specially ordered someone to paint "Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Yu Jin knelt down and begged for surrender." ', the scroll was sent to Cao Cao's tomb to be burned, and Yu Jin died of shame and anger after returning home.

"Yu Wen was a lonely minister of the first emperor, so he should not exaggerate the enemy. The Seventh Army was wiped out by water before, and it was not a result of a war attack. Your Majesty should be wary of his loyal words. It is rumored that the talents of Lantian are not inferior to Kong Ming, and he can cultivate a general. It's not surprising." Jia Xu recalled Yu Jin's past and couldn't help sighing, he had been a lonely minister all his life, but in the end he had a bleak end.

Cao Pi nodded, "Taiwei reminds you that if you turn the clouds to see the sun, you should not only remember your mistakes and forget your merits. I will treat the descendants of the ban more generously. Now Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to invade Liangzhou, and Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty has the heart of disobedience. If the widow To unify the world, who should Sun Quan and Liu Bei ask first?"

"Your Majesty is good at accepting advice. In the prosperous age, he must be a generation of Mingjun, but now the world is uncertain. Liu Bei and Sun Quan divide the territory and split the land, coveting artifacts. These two people can compete with the former king. They are definitely not idle people. Wei Guo owns the land of the Han Dynasty and Kyushu. , the people are numerous and the products are rich, so I suggest that you prepare armor and support men to wait for the right time. If you rush to attack, it may not be beneficial to the great Wei Jiangshan." Jia Xu gave the answer indirectly.

In the early years, Cao Pi followed Cao Cao to conquer the Quartet. He thought that he was not inferior to Cao Cao in martial arts and martial arts. He longed for the great feat of unifying the world. Even the respected Jia Xu poured cold water on him, which made the Wei emperor unhappy.

"Is the so-called time of day really that important?" Cao Pi frowned.

"In the past, the late emperor broke the yellow turban, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, defeated Yuan Shao, and established Liu Biao. He was in the midst of turbulent waves. If he hadn't benefited from the timing and people's schemes, it would have been very difficult for His Majesty to lay the foundation for the Kingdom of Wei." Jia Xu frowned. Take Cao Cao as an example.

Cao Pi asked: "The first emperor did have a chance, but the Taiwei also said that he needs to be recruited. I just need a good minister to assist the Prime Minister. How dare I ask when will I wait?"

"Although Sun Quan of Eastern Wu is weak, he is backed by the natural moat of the Yangtze River. Wei's navy is unable to compete with him; as for Liu Bei, the hero of Chengdu, who has already occupied the land of three states, and has many talented generals under his command. At this time, if he competes with him for the world, both sides may lose. ;The time Wei Guo has to wait for is the death of Liu Bei and the civil strife in Soochow." Jia Xu replied.

"Liu Bei is over sixty years old, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are about the same age, but Zhuge Liang and others are in their prime. If they can live like Huang Zhong, how can I afford to wait? As for the civil strife in Eastern Wu ?” Cao Pi asked like a cannonball.

Jia Xu replied calmly: "Your Majesty has just passed his thirties. Even if Liu Bei lived another 20 years, he would not be able to live longer than you; there are too many internal conflicts in Soochow. The generals of Huaisi and Jiangdong gentry are naturally opposed. Now that Lu Xun has replaced Lu Meng as the governor, the veterans think that Huaisi generals complained a lot; hearing that Han Dang and Lu Meng's descendants were at odds, Han Zong believed that Lu Meng had killed Han Dang on the surface, but in essence it was that the Huaisi Group had been reduced in military power. The two families are fighting for profit; Your Majesty can send agents to go deep into the land of Wu to bring out all these contradictions. As long as Sun Quan can't handle it well, he will be in chaos. In serious cases, he may be guilty of murdering the lord. It will not be too late for His Majesty to send troops to take Wu at that time."

Although Cao Pi was very upset just now, he still admired Jia Xu's analytical ability in his heart, but life is determined by God, who can be sure that he will live a long life?But when Jia Xu mentioned the detailed work just now, it reminded Cao Pi of something.

"Taiwei, the late emperor asked Qing to use rumors to deal with Liu Bei. Why didn't there be good news from Shu? Liu Bei instead asked Zhang Fei to go to Liangzhou to cause trouble?"

"Hey, the situation was urgent at that time. Although there were many secret agents sent by the veterans, they were not necessarily capable people. The small flames kept burning the big trees, not because the flames were careless, but because the big trees were too strong." Jia Xu was a little old and out of control Don't worry, I told Cao Pi too many real thoughts, but honest words are easy to hurt people. Jia Xu heard the dissatisfaction in Cao Pi's words, and at this time he could only find a way to withdraw.

"Small flames can't do it. Taiwei might as well throw away the torches, including the torches used by Soochow. If there is no fire to extinguish these places, won't they come to my Great Wei to find trouble?" Cao Pi squinted his eyes.

"Uh, it takes time to make a torch." Jia Xu looked helpless, thinking that there is no such thing as instant success.
