Jizhou, Yecheng!
Since the alliance was established with Liu Xiu, the war machine of the state of Wei also operated rapidly.
Cao Cao occupies the most states in the world.
Jizhou and Xuzhou, in particular, are granaries and commercial areas.
These two places continuously provided food and money for Cao Cao, which ensured that Cao Cao's rear had no worries.
In a short time, Cao Cao mobilized grain, grass and army.
Then, Cao Cao ordered Chen Lin to issue a call against Sun Quan.
In Chen Lin's address, she denounced Sun Quan and turned him into a sinister villain. She was also a traitor of the Han Dynasty, counting Sun Quan's ten crimes.
An address, with thousands of words, can be said to be heartfelt.
This piece of proclamation soon spread.
The army of the state of Wei is ready to go out.
Cao Pi, the son of the world, arrived at Sima Yi's house at this critical time.
In the study.
Cao Pi saluted respectfully, then sat down.
Sima Yi looked up at Cao Pi and said, "Shizi, the war between the state of Wei and the state of Wu is imminent. Shizi should have a lot of things in his hand. How did he come to Xiafu?"
Cao Pi said sincerely, "I'm here to ask for your advice."
Sima Yi said, "what can I ask you?"
Cao Pi, with a solemn face, said: "what I'm thinking about is whether I should take the initiative to ask for war and go to the state of Wu to preside over the war. But I'm weaker in military than brother Zhang. I'm afraid my father will not be happy. "
Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and said that Cao Pi was sensitive.
This is the time to consider the key.
But not to the point.
Sima Yi said with a straight face: "the son of the world is very appropriate. I suggest my son go to this battle. "
Cao Pi said, "but I'm not good at military."
Sima Yi snorted and said, "Your Majesty, there are very few people who can fight the world and govern the country. It's not surprising that Shizi is deficient in military affairs. "
"Shizi doesn't understand. Don't other people understand?"
"Shizi, as the master of human beings, should clearly realize that as long as you can use people, everything can be solved."
"Shizi can't fight, but he has people who can fight around him. As long as you use them well, naturally someone will fight for you. Shizi can't do martial arts, but he has people who are brave and outstanding. Shizi can't handle government affairs, but he also has people who understand government affairs."
"In a word, Shizi can use his energy. It's enough to know people and be good at their duties."
Sima Yi said: "looking back at that time, Liu Bang, the emperor of Gao, did not become a man of martial arts? However, Emperor Gao laid a solid foundation for hundreds of years. My son's birth is much better than that of emperor Gao. Why are you afraid of him? "
After hearing this, Cao Pi suddenly understood.
He has great respect for Sima Yi. This is his think tank.
"I will bear in mind what you taught me."
Cao Pi saluted respectfully.
Sima Yi said: "just now, Shizi wanted to take the initiative to fight. It's OK to take the body of the king of Wei as an excuse. But this reason is not enough to allow the king of Wei. "
Cao Pi said, "what more reason do you need?"
Sima Yi had a flash in his eyes and said, "my son, just say that Wu is a weak country. If Wei and Chu join hands, Wu will be defeated. What we really have to worry about is the attack launched by Chu after the defeat of Wu. The king of Wei was wise and powerful, so he should be the center to deal with the attack of Chu. In this way, the king of Wei must agree. "
After listening, Cao Pi nodded solemnly.
Sima Yi's reason is indeed sufficient.
Liu Xiu is the ultimate person of Cao Cao. It is the best way to let Cao Cao stay in Yecheng to deal with Chu.
Sima Yi continued: "this time I went south, I saw more and listened less. It's time to win. Naturally, Shizi's credit is indispensable. In this war, Shizi's focus is not how to command, but how to make a good relationship with the generals, and further let them recognize you and support you. "
Cao Pi said: "Sir, I understand what I have taught you."
After a pause, Cao Pi said, "my husband is extremely intelligent. Why don't you go south with me?"
Sima Yi shook her head and said, "I have nothing to do with the war against Wu in the south. And I'm still a long history of the palace. If the king doesn't go south, I won't leave. "
After hearing this, Cao Pi expressed a little regret on his face.
"It's not a bad thing that Zhang Shizi didn't stay in this city. You can't leave Shizi's defense line in Yecheng empty just because he's going south. "
Cao Pi arched his hand and said, "thank you, sir."
Sima Yi said, "it's getting late. Let's go back early."
"Good bye, sir!"
Cao Pi got up and left Sima Yi's house. Then he went straight to King Wei's house and saw Cao Cao in his study.Cao Pi saluted and said, "son, meet my father!"
Cao Cao said, "sit down
Cao Pi sat down.
Cao Cao asked, "what's the matter with you?"
Cao Pi opened the door to the mountain and said, "my son is here to recommend himself to my father."
"Oh, tell me!"
With a smile on his lips, Cao Cao asked.
All along, Cao Pi was steady and steady in dealing with government affairs. He was very steady, and there was no place for Mao to be impetuous. When Cao Pi dealt with government affairs, even Cao Cao was very relieved.
Now Cao Pi offered himself, and Cao Cao was very curious.
Cao Pi asked: "dare to ask my father, this time the United destruction of Wu, is to drive the imperial expedition?"
Cao Cao said, "I have this plan."
Cao Cao's answer was also ambiguous. He had this plan, but he did not necessarily have to go. It was only tentative.
Cao Pi said, "my son hopes to take the place of his father and go out to fight against the state of Wu."
Cao Cao asked, "why?"
Cao Pi looked sincere and said slowly, "there are three reasons for my son. First, my father recovered from his illness soon and was still in the process of recuperation. If my father was in good health, the state of Wei was as stable as Mount Tai. Now it's summer. It's hot and humid in the south. My father is going to fight in the south, so he can't get away from the summer. In addition, he has to work hard, which is not conducive to taking care of his health. "
After hearing this, Cao Cao's face looked pleased.
Cao Pi's words are reasonable.
Cao Cao said, "what about the second?"
Cao Pi continued: "second, the state of Wu is a weak country. If the state of Wei and the state of Chu jointly attack the state of Wu, the state of Wu will be defeated. As long as my father sends generals and wise men to fight, this battle will be won. "
"What is worrying is the army of Chu."
"Once the state of Wu is destroyed, Liu Xiu is afraid to go to war."
"At that time, father and king need to coordinate and plan in order to make the fastest response."
"If father is on the front line, it is not easy to coordinate."
"Only when my father stayed in Yecheng, he could make the fastest response, so as to fight back against Liu Xiu, or even attack first."
According to Sima Yi's plan, Cao Pi gave the second reason.
This reason still satisfied Cao Cao.
In history, Cao Cao regarded Sun Quan as his great enemy, and even said that he should have a son like sun Zhongmou.
But because of the appearance of Liu Xiu, Sun Quan never developed and was suppressed.
Therefore, Cao Cao did not put Sun Quan in his eyes.
Cao Cao was surprised by Cao Pi's analysis and said, "what about the third?"
When Cao Pi talked about the third, he looked serious and said, "father Wen can govern the country and military can govern the army. As the son of his father, pi'er was not aware of the war and felt ashamed. "
"It's not difficult to attack the state of Wu this time, so my son thought about it and went to the battlefield to learn something from his predecessors and uncles. He didn't want to be proficient, but he could be proficient in military strategy."
"Only in such a war can my son dare to see it."
"If it's a confrontation with Liu Xiu, the war is on the line, and my son doesn't dare to go there without permission."
Cao Pi said, "son, please father's permission."
After listening, Cao Cao's face also showed a look of meditation.
Cao Cao was also very pleased with Cao Pi's request, because Cao Pi had this heart.
So far, Cao Cao's most satisfied successor is Cao ang.
Cao ang is very similar to Cao Cao in both literature and martial arts. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in order to save him.
Cao Pi has the mind to exercise, Cao Cao also has no opinion, way: "your request, this king has permitted. In this attack on the state of Wu, the king will appoint the chief General of the army to take charge of the war against Wu. You go as commander in chief, but do not interfere in military affairs at will. "
Cao Pi hugged his fist and said, "my son will obey my father's orders."
At the moment, Cao Pi's heart is also excited, with the results of the war against Wu, and his resume has a lot more.
Cao Cao waved Cao Pi back, and then began to arrange the dispatch of troops.
