Regarding Liu Xie's humble inquiry, Cao Cao bowed slightly, and then said in a cold voice: "This time, Sun Quan is still a small Huiji Taishou, if he is allowed to crusade against Liu Bei, the pseudo-king of Hanzhong, it is indeed a little too difficult for him."
Therefore, it is better to make him the general of the chariot cavalry, lead the Jingzhou herd, and let him gather troops and horses as soon as possible to fight against Liu Bei with our army. ”As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, the people in the lobby, except for a few people, the rest of the people all showed a trace of surprise, when even someone stood up to Cao Cao and said: "King Wei, that Sun Quan jumped from a small Huiji Taishou to a general of the chariot cavalry, I am afraid that many people are not convinced."
It is better to give other official positions first, and after Jiangdong sends troops to attack Liu Bei, it is not too late to give such a high reward. ”This person is Cao Wei's heavy minister Hua Xin.Listening to Hua Xin's words, Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked curiously: "Then according to your meaning, what official position should be given to Sun Quan?"
Hua Xin immediately responded: "Back to the King of Wei, Liu Bei seized Yizhou and claimed to be in the west of Jingzhou.This time, the Son of Heaven ordered Sun Quan to send troops to attack Liu Bei was to conquer the west, so the minister thought that Sun Quan could be named the general of the expedition to the west and ordered him to conquer Liu Bei. ”"Well, General Zhengxi" Regarding Hua Xin's proposal, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully, and then turned to the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Hua Xin's proposal is very good, you can first give Sun Quan as the general of Zhengxi, and then order Sun Quan to raise troops to march into Yizhou." ”"Well, according to the words of King Wei and Lord Hua Xin, Sun Quan was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west and ordered him to march into Yizhou."
After Liu Xie finished speaking, he couldn't help frowning again, looked at Cao Cao again and said, "King Wei, this matter of Sun Quan has been resolved, I don't know what to do with King Zhao."
Now that he has officially ascended to the throne of King Zhao after King Wei, and King Zhao is personally bestowed by me, there is no other greater official position in the future. ”Liu Xie's question can be said to have stopped Cao Cao immediately, although Jia Xu said that Zhao Yu would not do anything to himself when the Second Army marched into Liu Bei.But if he can't do something, Cao Cao is still a little jealous in his heart, just like Sun Quan, even if he gives him a reward, so that Sun Quan's heart can be somewhat stable.Now Liu Xie's words were thrown over, so that Cao Cao was speechless for a moment, so he had to throw the question to Jia Xu again, and asked: "Lord Jia doesn't know what good plan there is for this" "Back to the King of Wei, the minister does have an idea, but the minister is worried that if he says it, he will be opposed by the King of Wei and the generals present, so Weichen does not dare to say it." ”Regarding Cao Cao's doubts that he could also be said to be the Son of Heaven, Jia Xu naturally made a decision in his heart, but Jia Xu responded very smartly.In this way, everyone is looking forward to Jia Xu's words even more.I saw Cao Cao straighten up, face Jia Xu, put on a serious expression and said: "Master Jia has anything to say, just say it, here I Cao Cao is here, and I Cao Cao let you say it, no one will blame you."
Even if you say something wrong, the Son of Heaven and I will not condemn you. ”After Cao Cao's words, the Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair couldn't help but stand up and greet Jia Xu is and said: "Jia Aiqing also heard it, with me and King Wei in charge of you, no one will accuse you."
What's more, you solved the dilemma in my heart just now, and I haven't had time to thank you yet, so how can I blame you. ”With the personal words of Cao Cao and Liu Xie online this time, Jia Xu naturally won't worry about anything, in fact, with Jia Xu's cleverness, how can he worry about others.It's just that Jia Xu deliberately released these words in advance to confuse everyone first, and then threw out his own embarrassment, asking Cao Cao and the world to stand up and drop two talismans for themselves to speak.With Cao Cao and the world's early pardon, who else dares to accuse themselves.This is also Jia Xu's way of self-preservation, and it can be regarded as the most basic self-preservation as a strategist.I saw Jia Xu suddenly come out of the ranks, greeted the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao and said: "This time, King Zhao took advantage of the battle between our army and Liu Bei, and made an alliance with Jiangdong Sun Quan to attack the city of our army.and informed the traitor Liu Bei of his great rebellion, and sincerely invited King Zhao to send troops to recruit Liu Bei.Presumably, when Liu Bei ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, King Zhao must also publicize Liu Bei's sins in the counties under his jurisdiction, and the people up and down the city must also be hateful to Liu Bei's trip. ”"Lord Jia Xu, do you know what you are talking about Zhao Yu attacking our state city, but you let us admit that the state city is his, what is the difference between this and giving it to people for nothing."
As soon as Jia Xu's voice fell, before Liu Xie and Cao Cao could speak, a general on one side stood up and objected.Although the Son of Heaven and the King of Wei stood up and promised that they would not question Jia Xu, as generals, they should think about the army and would rather offend the monarch than express their opinions.Immediately, other ministers retorted: "If we admit that those cities are Zhao Yu, if our army wants to take them back in the future, won't it become plunder." ”Not only that, but even some generals began to be indignant and said: "If Zhao Yu is driven to send troops by using this state city as a me, he would rather lead his troops to fight with him, and he will not hesitate to recapture the city at the cost of throwing his head and spilling blood." ”As for the opposition of everyone's discussions, Jia Xu did not hear them, and he did not refute them when he appointed everyone to discuss with each other.After half a ring, he suddenly saw Cao Cao step forward and stretched out his hand to stop everyone, looking at the red-faced ministers who were arguing, only to see Cao Cao first face those ministers and slowly said: "Since you think this method is inappropriate, then you can think of other good strategies." ”Then he looked at everyone silently, and then turned to the generals on the side and asked: "Then the generals have the ability to repel Zhao Yu and regain the lost city" Cao Cao's two questions made everyone present speechless, seeing that no one answered, Cao Cao once again greeted Jia Xu and said to everyone: "As far as I am concerned, Lord Jia Xu's strategy is really good."
Although these cities used to belong to our army, but now we are not as good as others, and we have been taken away by the other party, even if we are tough and don't admit it, what can we do, the other party will return those cities to us Now that the situation of our army is grim, it is better to take this opportunity to give the other party a favor and let the other party send troops to help us attack Liu Bei, isn't it wonderful.If you have that ability, you still have to think about how to drive Liu Bei out of Hanzhong first. ”Cao Cao's words can be said to have woken up everyone, and being tough on empty lips will undoubtedly have no effect, but will only add trouble to himself.Seeing that everyone was not talking, Cao Cao turned to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, you have already made it clear this time, so let King Zhao and Sun Quan be notified by your edict, and invite the two to send troops to attack Liu Bei together." ”In the face of Cao Cao's words, of course Liu Xie would not refuse, and hurriedly said: "King Wei doesn't have to worry, I will give an order and let people start drafting the holy decree." ”When Liu Xie's two holy decrees were sent to Zhao Yu and Sun Quan respectively, there were two different shocks.No one thought that the Son of Heaven would order a holy decree and invite the two of them to jointly send troops to attack Liu Bei.With the holy decree in his hand, Sun Quan had to set an example, otherwise he would ignore the holy decree.Holding the holy decree in his hand, Sun Quan couldn't help but hold back the joy in his heart, "Gong Jin, you said that the Son of Heaven suddenly made this holy decree, whether it is good or bad, and should we send troops to help the Son of Heaven conquer Liu Bei." ”Gong Jin smiled slightly and said: "Back to the lord, Weichen thinks that this can be said to be a rare good opportunity for the lord, of course, it may also bring a little trouble to our army, it depends on how the lord understands this matter." ”In this regard, Sun Quan couldn't help but be a little confused, and asked Zhou Yu with a curious face: "Gongjin, don't sell Guanzi, I really don't know what's wrong with this." ”"This time, Liu Bei ascended to the throne of Hanzhong and wanted to report to the Son of Heaven to ask for promise, but before the Son of Heaven came down, Liu Bei had already opened the altar and set up incense to hold the enthronement ceremony, and he really didn't put the Son of Heaven in his eyes.In addition to Cao Cao's others, it will definitely anger the power of the Son of Heaven, although the Son of Heaven is just a puppet in Cao Cao's hands, even so, but what the Son of Heaven said is still majestic. ”After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help pausing slightly, and then looked at Sun Quan again and said: "I don't know if the lord still remembers that at the beginning, the lord and King Zhao talked about the alliance and marriage on the river" Hearing Zhou Yu suddenly divert the topic, Sun Quan couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "Of course I remember, then Zhao Yu and my Jiangdong alliance and marriage, intending to share the world with me." ”Zhou Yu affirmed Sun Quan's words a little, and then smiled again: "Since the lord knows that he has formed an alliance with King Zhao to divide the world equally, then King Zhao's biggest enemy at present is Cao Cao, and the biggest enemy of our army is Liu Bei.If in the future, King Zhao and Cao Cao are at war and have no time to take care of Liu Bei, relying on our army to fight Liu Bei alone, for example, it will lose troops and sacrifice a lot.This time the Son of Heaven ordered Liu Bei to conquer Liu Bei, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for the lord. ”Sun Quan immediately said excitedly: "Then later, I will ask people to reply to the Son of Heaven, assemble the army, and prepare to conquer the thief Liu Bei." ”Zhou Yu immediately stopped: "The lord must not be too panicked, if the lord dares to attack Liu Bei directly, I am afraid that he will be on fire."
The lord can write to inform the Son of Heaven that when Cao Cao's army attacks, our army will respond to the siege of Liu Bei from the side, so as to cooperate with Cao Cao's army to annihilate the rebels. ”:
