"Da da da!"
At nightfall, dozens of envoys, holding talismans, rushed out of the imperial city gate on horseback, went straight to the residences of important civil and military ministers, knocked on the doors, and conveyed their wishes.
When the emperor called, no matter who dared not to come, the ministers, whether they were resting or discussing the origin of life with their wives and concubines, all jumped up from the bed. After dressing up, they either took a car or rode a horse and went straight to the palace. !
At the same time, he was secretly thinking about what happened that caused the emperor to gather his ministers late at night. Could it be that the one from the west took action?
" If this is the case, should I run away with my wife and children, or should I change into white clothes, kneel at the gate of Luoyang City to welcome him? As for sending troops to fight, there is no chance of winning!
¡¡¡¡
"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
"Everyone is safe!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Half an hour later, the civil and military ministers gathered in the Tai Chi Hall, including Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Xia Houcheng, Chen Qun, Hua Xin, Wang Lang a total of forty or fifty people, and the one at the end was Sima Yi!
More than three years have passed. Others have been promoted step by step, either by getting promoted to a higher position or by adding more households. Only Sima Yi remains where he is, still an admonishing official with no real power!
However, Sima Yi¡¯s official position has not changed, but his identity has been completely different. He has become the head of the Sima family and has an influence that cannot be ignored!
It turns out that three years ago, because of the dispute over the relocation of the school, Taifu Sima Fang was so angry that he vomited blood and passed away soon. He made a will before his death, letting his eldest son Sima Lang inherit the position of head of the family, and the other seven sons will help him wholeheartedly!
Another year later, a plague broke out in the Yanzhou area. As the governor of Yanzhou, Sima Lang personally led people to inspect the disaster and sent doctors and medicines to the people. The plague was quickly controlled, but he did not expect that he would be infected with the disease. He died soon after, at the age of forty-seven.
Sima Lang had no heirs, so the position of head of the family fell into the hands of his second brother Sima Yi. The Sima family has become prosperous in recent years and has become the leader of the gentry group. Therefore, despite Sima Yi's low official position, he has He has the power to control the world!
After circulating the news about the Jiangdong typhoon, Cao Pi and the civil and military ministers began to discuss matters.
"Thousands of achievements, the first is to unify. This is the principle that remains unchanged throughout the ages. The territory will never be divided into pieces, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment!"
Emperor Taizu Wu spent his entire life in the army. Wherever the banner went, the princes restrained their hands and the barbarians surrendered. Only then did they level the Central Plains and create the foundation of the Wei Dynasty. The only ones who have not surrendered yet are Western Shu and Soochow!
Since I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, I have been committed to fulfilling Emperor Taizu Wu¡¯s last wish and realizing the great cause of unification as soon as possible. However, I cannot bear the suffering of the people in war. Therefore, I have implemented benevolent policies and promoted education for several years, intending to replace war with etiquette!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of mind that Soochow went against the grain and caused disasters to come from the sky, hurricanes passed by, not a blade of grass was left, people's fields were destroyed, and there were countless casualties. As the co-owner of the world, how could I sit back and ignore it?
"I have made up my mind. I will send my troops southward today, flatten Jiangdong, save thousands of people from the fire and water, capture the blue-eyed children alive, and bring them to justice before the imperial court. You are all my loyal ministers. What good strategy can I use to conquer Jiangdong?" "
Cao Pi¡¯s words were very humble, but his tone was extremely firm. This is to tell the civil and military ministers that I have called you here tonight not to discuss whether to attack Soochow, but how to attack Soochow. This battle will undoubtedly be fought!
"Your Majesty has spread his virtues all over the world, and his benevolence extends to all things. Although Tang and Yu were unable to surpass this, now that you have established a benevolent and righteous army to attack the sinful country, the people of Jiangdong will eat pots of pulp to welcome your Majesty's royal army. It will be as easy as turning your hand to flatten Jiangdong. , I wish to congratulate Your Majesty in advance - Long live, long live!"
The ministers were all "smart people" and all agreed to send troops to attack Soochow, and this battle was also a must-fight!
" First, the opportunity is too rare. Taking advantage of the storm to attack Soochow will get twice the result with half the effort. If it takes a year or two to wait for Soochow to calm down, the chance of winning may be much smaller.
Secondly, now that the Wei Dynasty is divided into the east and west, Chang'an has the upper hand everywhere and will eat up Luoyang sooner or later. At that time, the throne of the Cao family will be difficult to protect, and the noble group will also be unlucky!
If you want to survive from death, you must send troops to defeat Soochow, and then go up the river to destroy Xishu. In this way, the world has two-thirds, so there is no need to fear the Xiao family, and there is a 60-percent chance of winning when swordsmen meet!
Therefore, it is true that Cao Pi had conflicts with the gentry group, but they were extremely unanimous in their opinions on sending troops, and decided to have a good "sincere unity"!
The crusade against Soochow has been decided, and the next step is Shang.Three big things:
First, how many soldiers and horses were dispatched to attack Soochow?
Second, when will troops be sent to attack Soochow?
Third, who will lead the troops to attack Soochow?
The first problem is difficult to solve. Although Soochow Wu's vitality is severely damaged, there are natural dangers of three rivers outside and six counties inside. There is a heroic commander like Lu Xun at the top, nearly 300,000 elite soldiers and horses, and thousands of soldiers at the bottom. A large or small warship, its strength should not be underestimated!
Cao Pi discussed with his ministers that at least 500,000 soldiers and horses, 2 million civilians, and a large amount of money, armaments, grain, and warships must be recruited to have a chance of winning this battle!
Logically speaking, the Wei Dynasty has a large population, sufficient treasury, and millions of elite soldiers and generals. It is not difficult to recruit these soldiers, horses, money and food!
The problem is that this battle is fought by the east, and the west may not help. Even if Xiao Yi intends to send troops to help, Cao Pi and others will not agree, because the fruits of victory cannot be divided!
?????????????????????????????????????????? With half of the Wei State in the crusade against Soochow, the pressure has doubled. We must recruit troops, collect taxes, and requisition food, and even emptied our entire family fortune, risking our lives to fight this war!
Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but hesitate. This kind of gambling on the fate of the country was too risky. It was easy to win, but if he was unfortunately defeated, Cao Wei would be in ruins.
But there is a great opportunity right in front of you, and it would be a pity to miss it. What¡¯s more, once you have said that you will send troops, as the king of a country, you can¡¯t go back on your word, right?
"Your Majesty is an act of great benevolence, righteousness and great love in order to punish the people and save them from the fire. I am not talented, so I am willing to do my little bit to help your Majesty achieve this feat!"
???????????????????????????? All the troops, money, food, and materials in the country, my brother, are willing to obey the orders of the imperial court and spend all they have, no matter what! "
¡¡
"Haha, with the help of the king brother, I don't have to worry about the big thing failing. After I conquer Jiangdong, I will make you the King of Wu, make the capital of Jianjian City, and take over the six counties. Your descendants will inherit it hereditary!"
¡°Brother, thank you for your kindness!¡±
When people are indecisive, even a little bit of spiritual support can be of great help, let alone the power of an entire feudal country!
With Cao Xiong's strong support, Cao Pi finally made up his mind to fight this battle with all his strength. After all, his chances of winning were still very good, at least about 80%. God protected Soochow once and would not bless it a second time. Bar?
In addition, in line with the rule of reciprocating love, Cao Pi drew a big pie for his younger brother. As for whether he can fulfill it in the end, only God knows!
The second problem is more difficult to solve, because there is no preparation in advance, and it will take Cao Wei at least four months to complete the war mobilization!
It is now late October, which means that half a million troops and two million civilians will be assembled in February next year at the earliest, just in time for spring plowing, when labor is most needed in the fields!
If we send troops in February, it will inevitably affect the spring plowing work. Not only will the soldiers and the people be resentful, but next year's grain production will be significantly reduced, which will directly affect the government's tax revenue!
However, by delaying the dispatch of troops for one day, Soochow will recover a little more and be ready to fight. This will be extremely detrimental to Cao's army going south. Don't forget that the weather in the south is warm and spring comes earlier, while the north is still plowing. , the south has finished sowing!
¡°I order all states, prefectures, and county officials to have all their troops, food, vehicles, and ships ready before February next year. If anyone dares to delay the Southern Expedition, I will chop off his head as a sacrifice to the flag!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? again??????????????? again???????????????????????? again? "
"According to the order!"
Cao Pi dared to bet on the fate of the country of Wei. Naturally, he did not care about a few people's scoldings and made a decision on the spot. In February next year, he sent troops south. The ministers looked at each other and no one dared to object!
The third question is the most difficult to solve, and it is also the key to the success or failure of the Southern Expedition. Who will be the commander-in-chief of the army?
War is a contest of comprehensive national strength, as well as a contest of commander's ability. An excellent commander can often defeat more with less and reverse an unfavorable situation!
Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangdong, was a man of both civil and military skills. He was skilled in water and land warfare. He showed his talents in the battle against Shanyue. He achieved ten battles and ten victories in one month and conquered fifty-two tribes. His abilities were by no means comparable to those of the past. Under Zhou Gongjin!
Looking around at Cao Wei, I am afraid that the only one who can defeat Lu Xun is Xiao Yi. But in this situation, Xiao Yi cannot be allowed to lead the army. As for the other generals
Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are more than loyal, but unfortunately they lack ability. They are only generals, not commanders. They cannot bear the heavy responsibility of uniting the army and destroying the country. Forcibly appointing them will only ruin the lives of innocent soldiers!
Sima Yi is a man of literary and military skills, and his skills are not as good as those of Lu Xun, but the city of this 'tombing tiger' is too deep, and it is really uneasy to give him an army that will overwhelm the country!
"My dear friends, there is no need to be suspicious, I have already decided that I will go on a personal expedition to attack Soochow!"
"Your Majesty?"
"Um!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Soon, the Imperial Decree of Crusade was officially promulgated, and all the states and counties in the eastern part of the Wei Kingdom including Henan, Yan, Xu, Qing, and Hebei were mobilized to recruit troops, collect taxes, and requisition food The people were unable to live in peace and were filled with complaints!
