Chapter 68

""One tiger and one unicorn" is about Sun Jian and Jiang Wei. Although Sun Jian is known as the descendant of Sun Wu, the master of military art, when he was passed down to his generation, his family background had become normal, and he had to travel far and wide with his father. Once Encountering a large group of pirates, everyone was terrified. The 17-year-old Sun Jian went forward alone, beheaded the leader of the pirates with a single blow, and repelled the entire group of pirates. He was so afraid that he was called the "Jiangdong tiger".

"Jiang Wei, known as "Youlin", inherited Zhuge Liang's legacy and made many northern expeditions to the Central Plains. Before Cao Wei invaded the Shu Han, he wrote a warning to Liu Chan in advance and suggested strengthening military armaments on key roads. However, Liu Chan ignored it and only focused on seeking Having fun and having fun eventually led to the demise of the Shu Han. After Liu Chan was captured, Jiang Wei still did not lose heart. He accumulated strength and incited the leaders of Cao Wei to rebel in an attempt to revive the Shu Han, but was eventually killed in the rebellion."

"There are countless such celebrities in the Three Kingdoms. Lu Bu, the "Red Rabbit among Horses", Zhao Yun, the "Victorious General", Guan Yu, the "Martial Saint" and other famous people throughout the ages, as well as Diao Chan, known as the "most beautiful woman", are also passed down to future generations."

Li Shimin: During the Three Kingdoms period, there were indeed many talented people, but it was a pity that all the empires built by Cao Cao were made into wedding dresses for others.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Neither can that one!If you seize the country, you will still lose to future generations.

Cao Cao couldn't sit still at this time. When Miss Zhang said that he slaughtered the city, he felt a little remorse. He killed everyone, so he had to be careful in dealing with things in the future. He didn't repent, he wanted to be king, It has to be ruthless, but what do you call a wedding dress he made for others?Could it be that if Liu Bei swallowed it, he would be able to compete with our Wei State, and Wu State is still far behind.

"What was said on the barrage is indeed true. I can only say that this person "knows how to pretend" and does it well!"

"The situation of the three kingdoms is not with Cao Cao, but after Cao Pi became emperor. Although his achievements are not as high as Cao Cao's, his achievements are also very good. Like our Hanwu Emperor Liu Che, no matter how great his achievements were in his early years, he could not stop him. His stupidity in his old age."

"However, let's return to the topic. This time we are talking about Cao Cao, not Liu Che. We will continue to talk about what Cao Pi did after Cao Cao's death."

Liu Che: ...

The topic was brought up, and my heart was in my throat, but I stopped talking.

"Before Cao Pi became emperor, although Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan had been fighting against each other, the main struggle had always come from Cao Cao and Liu Bei. In contrast, Soochow has always been either a bystander or a leader. Because of their own interests, they temporarily formed a short-term alliance with either Cao Cao or Liu Bei to deal with the other force together. There was almost never an example of a war against a certain force alone."

"However, after Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, all of this changed drastically, and the situation in the entire Three Kingdoms changed suddenly. The war among the forces of the Three Kingdoms gradually began to tilt towards Soochow. Cao Wei did not focus on the Shu Han, but instead launched a war against Soochow Another onslaught."

"In the first month of the first year of Yankang, Cao Cao died in Luoyang. Cao Pi succeeded the prime minister and king of Wei from Yecheng to Luoyang, and rebuilt the 25th year of Jian'an as the first year of Yankang. In October of the first year of Yankang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty officially abdicated the throne, Cao Pi three times After submitting the letter of resignation, he ascended to the Zen platform and proclaimed himself emperor, and changed his name to Huangchu in the Yuan Dynasty. As a result, Cao Pi officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, prompting Cao Wei to replace the Eastern Han Dynasty. After he ascended the throne, Cao Pi naturally hoped that Cao Cao’s long-cherished wish of unifying the world could be realized.”

"Then, after Cao Pi became emperor, why did he give up his confrontation with Shu Han, his old enemy, and instead put more energy on Soochow, which has always been relatively unknown compared to other countries?"

"Because of Guan Yu's carelessness, Jingzhou was lost. After the battle of Jingzhou and Yiling, the power of Soochow is on the rise. On the contrary, Shuhan is the weakest one. If this momentum cannot be curbed, Soochow The threat to Cao Wei is obviously relatively large."

"If Soochow wants to attack Cao Wei, they can either start from Jingzhou or send troops from the Jianghuai area. However, if the Shu Han wants to invade the hinterland of Cao Wei, they need to first pass through Yongliang, then attack Guanzhong, and finally go straight to Luoyang. Considering the strength of Shu Han, this is almost an impossible goal."

"Besides, the Shu Han is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Cao Cao also tried to fight the Shu Han hard before he was alive. He sent Xia Houyuan to guard Hanzhong, but was attacked by Huang Zhong, and even Xia Houyuan, the capable general, was killed."

"Although Cao Pi also understands that the Shu Han is very weak, the terrain in Hanzhong is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is not suitable for large-scale attacks. Even if the Shu Han is defeated in the end, it will definitely cost a lot."

"This is a thankless option for Cao Pi who has just ascended the throne and the situation is not stable. What's more, the Shu Han was defeated by Sun Quan at this time, and it is impossible to threaten him for the time being, so Cao Pi gave up attacking the Shu Han. "

"Especially after Guan Yu accidentally lost the battle between Jingzhou and Yiling, the Shu Han was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and couldn't protect himself. How could he have the ability to threaten Cao Wei. Therefore, from Cao Pi's point of view, the Shu Han will not be able to fight in a short time. It threatens Cao Wei, but if Soochow does not weaken, it is likely to continue to strengthen, this is a real and urgent threat."

"It's just that I attacked Wu three times, and they were all easily resolved by the opponent."

"It's a pity that after the Battle of Yiling, Cao Pi's army had the upper hand and had broken through the core city of Wu State. At this critical moment, Cao Pi actually fell seriously ill. Coupled with Soochow's defense Extremely stubborn. So Cao Pi could only shake hands with Soochow and make peace, stop fighting, and the war ended in a draw."

"The second time was when Liu Bei died and Liu Chan ascended the throne. For the sake of friendship between the two countries, Zhuge Liang personally went to the State of Wu to seek peace. The two countries shook hands and made peace and attacked the State of Wei together. This made Cao Pi very angry and sent troops to attack. Unfortunately, after arriving at Jinling, There was a violent storm and there were many kinds of suspicious walls on the road. We were afraid of an ambush on the other side, so we had to retreat."

"The third battle of Shiting was a battle between the two countries over the Jianghuai region. This battle was tricked by Wu State, and Cao Jun was fooled. Naturally, Cao Jun did not get any benefits. Cao Xiu Being surrounded by heavy siege, it was only the reinforcements from behind who were able to retreat with a group of remnants, and the battle was lost again."

"Cao Pi really wanted to complete the great cause of unification that Cao Cao did not complete. He conquered Soochow three times, but Sun Quan easily resolved them. Cao Pi sent Sun Quan too far, and he really complied with Cao Cao's words - having children should be like Sun Zhongmou!"
