Great Wei Nengchen

The banquet was immediately withdrawn, and a huge military map was hung on the main hall. According to the information from the front, the situation of the enemy and the enemy was re-marked. Cao Pi stepped down from the dragon chair. Enemy strategy!

In fairness, the Cao Wei Empire has a vast territory and a large population. As long as the war machine is fully activated, it is not afraid of any challenges. However, there are three major difficulties in front of it:

One is countermeasures. Since the Shu Han sent troops to the Northern Expedition, it must not only go to Jingzhou, but Bashu will also take action, but the road there is too far away, and the news did not reach Xuchang for a while!

The Shu Han sent troops to the Northern Expedition in two ways, did they go hand in hand, or was one false and the other real? Which one was false and which one was real?

Sun Wu is famous for his grass on the wall and falling with the wind. Now that they see Bashu sending troops to the north, will they make trouble and send a team north to form a pincer attack from east to west?

Facing the complicated situation, how to fight against the outside world and secure the inside, and how to arrange troops, this is the first battle after the founding of the Great Wei, and it is absolutely unbearable to lose!

The second is time. To deal with the full-scale Northern Expedition of the Shu Han, and to prevent Sun Wu from falling into trouble, Cao Wei must mobilize at least 40 troops to defend the enemy from outside the country. But for this war, Cao Wei was not prepared in advance!

It will take at least three or four months to assemble a 40 army, millions of civilians, and enough ordnance, food, mules, vehicles, and ships. However, Xiangyang City is in dire straits, and I am afraid it will not be able to support it for half a month.

When Cao Wei is ready, I am afraid that the army of Shu Han will drive straight in, and Xuchang and Luoyang may not be able to defend it. Once this happens, where will the monarchs and ministers in the hall be safe?

The third is the commander-in-chief. What is fought in war is strength, but also the ability of the commander-in-chief. One general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops, and the other commander is incompetent and the country changes hands!

Even if Cao Wei is ready, who will command hundreds of thousands of athletes? Zhuge Liang has no plans, and Guan Yunchang will win the three armies bravely, but they are not easy to provoke!

Cao Pi and his ministers frowned, thinking about these three problems. If they can’t be solved, there will be no chance of winning the first battle of the founding of the country, and the consequences will be even more serious. Subsidence!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the enemy army is approaching menacingly, and we are unprepared. If we rush into the battle, the chances of victory are not great. Therefore, I suggest retreating to advance!"

"How to advance with retreat?"

"Your Majesty can move the capital to Yecheng, take advantage of the natural danger of the Yellow River, block the advance of the Shu Han, and lead the army to launch a counterattack when the veterans of the division are exhausted and the food and grass run out, and we will definitely win a big victory!"

"The small state of Shu Han has a very limited population, food and other materials. As long as it lasts for a year or so, even if we can't win the battle, we can win with energy consumption. Moving the capital is indeed a safe way!"

…………

After pondering for a while, some noble officials from Hebei suddenly proposed to move the capital, even Xin Ping and Xin Pi were among them. First, for the sake of the country, they crossed the Yellow River to avoid the soldiers of the Shu Han. After all, they left if they could not win. , It is also one of the common sense of military strategists!

The second is for my own consideration. Xuchang City is the site of the Yingchuan and Runan gentry, Luoyang City is the site of the Hanoi and Hedong gentry, and Yecheng is the site of the Hebei gentry. Whoever owns the site is the master, and the politics are the same!

The rest of the ministers kept silent, and they were all thinking about moving the capital, which is good or bad for the country, good or bad for themselves, and the latter is far more important than the former. A country can last for a few hundred years at most, while a gentry group can last for thousands of years !

How did Cao Pi react to such a proposal of moving the capital to Yecheng and retreating to Hebei?

"Xuchang City is the place where Emperor Taizu Wu has been running for many years, and Luoyang City is the capital city I officially announced to the world as the chosen capital of the Great Wei!

Now that the enemy army has not seen the front, you propose to move the capital to Hebei. Do you want me to be the second king of Zhou Ping? Pass on my will, and anyone who dares to move the capital-behead the head to show the public, and destroy the whole family! "

……

"Your Majesty is terrified, I have made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

I saw Cao Pi's complexion changed drastically, he pulled out the Emperor Sword from his waist, and stared murderously at the ministers who proposed to move the capital. These people were so frightened that they knelt down and pleaded guilty, kowtow like a chicken eating broken rice!

The rest of the courtiers were shocked, and they all became respectful. It seems that although the emperor of Wei is not as talented as his father, he is not easy to be compared with, and he is not comparable to the fatuous King Ping of Zhou!

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, King You of Zhou was fatuous and immoral, abolished Empress Shen and Crown Prince Yijiu, made his beloved Bao Si the Queen, and Bo Fu the Prince.

Shen Hou's father, Marquis Shen, was dissatisfied, so he colluded with the dog army to break through Haojing. King Zhou You lit a beacon to ask for help, but the princes ignored them because they were teased by the beacon before. As a result, King Zhou You was killed in Lishan, and Bao Si was also killed The Quanrong people snatched it away, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished!

Haojing was destroyed by the war and threatened by tribes such as Rong and Di. Therefore, in the second year after King Zhou Ping ascended the throne, under the protection of Zheng, Qin, Jin and other princes, he moved the capital to Luoyi, which was later Luoyang. Just sit back and relax.

However, after King Ping moved to the east, all the territories under the direct control of the west were lost, the royal power declined rapidly, and the power of the princes continued to grow, which finally turned into chaos in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, which also laid the groundwork for the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty!

Remembering the past is the guide for the future. Xuchang and Luoyang are the foundation of the Cao family. Abandoning these two strategic places and fleeing to Hebei for refuge in a hurry, wouldn't it be self-destructive?

Besides, in just a few months after the founding of the country, there has been no emperor who moved the capital and fled since ancient times.

At that time, not to mention the counterattack came back, I am afraid that Hebei will be difficult to defend, either being emptied by the gentry group, or being replaced by others. Cao Pi is also a quick-thinking person, so naturally he would not do such a stupid thing.

Since he refuses to move the capital, he has no choice but to fight, but how to arrange it?

"Xin Pi listened to the decree, and immediately went to Jiangdong with generous gifts, lobbying Sun Quan, Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao and others. Taking advantage of Guan Yu's northern expedition and the empty rear, he sent a team to attack Jiangling City. After the incident, the four counties in southern Jingzhou all It is owned by Sun Wu, and I will add the title of Sun Quan to the side-by-side king, and I will be equal to me in the future!

Taking a step back, even if Sun Wu refuses to send troops to help the war, as long as he remains neutral, I will still reward you heavily. We must not allow Sun Wu and Shu Han to form an alliance and send troops together to deal with our great Wei!

You start today. If you can't do this, just follow Qu Yuan's example and commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river. Do you understand? "

"I obey the order, and I will live up to your majesty's will. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Xin Pi stumbled and ran out of the hall, his face was as pale as paper, and his clothes were drenched with sweat. Because he proposed to move the capital, his status in Cao Pi's heart plummeted, and he might not have any good results in the future.

"The two generals Xu Huang and Yu Jin listened to the order and immediately dispatched [-] armored troops from the garrison around Xuchang City to help Xiangyang City in the starry night. They must block Guan Yu's offensive!"

"I will obey your orders!"

"Wang Lang and Hua Xin listened to the decree and ordered all states, counties, and counties in the world to enter a state of war, gather soldiers, horses, civilians, ordnance, grain, and vehicles as quickly as possible, and prepare to face the Shu Han!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Cao Pi stood proudly in the hall with his sword in his hand, continuously issuing imperial edicts, all civil and military officials were moved by the news, and no one dared to slack off in the slightest. The chariots of the Cao Wei Empire finally started to move...

To be fair, Cao Pi is worthy of being the king of a country. When the crisis came, he did not avoid it cowardly, but took the responsibility bravely. Wisdom, courage, and courage are all remarkable, but that’s all for his performance. That's it.

In the event of an invasion by foreign enemies, if Cao Cao was still alive, he would definitely lead an army to attack the invading enemy; Cao Pi wanted to imitate his father and create a great martial art, but unfortunately his heart was too strong but his strength was insufficient!

Cao Pi has practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he is familiar with military books. He also went out with his father many times and experienced on the battlefield. Wan Dajun.

He commanded the six armies, marched in person, and fought Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu to the death. After weighing repeatedly, Cao Pi thought that he had no chance of winning. This was the first battle of the founding of the Wei Dynasty. The world is falling apart!

It is not advisable for the royal driver to go on a personal expedition, who will be sent in command, and who will be sure of victory?

Chapter 1661 The highest-level political game!

The most suitable candidate to be in command is naturally Xiao Yi. Since his debut more than 20 years ago, he has been invincible and invincible. He has rich experience in commanding large armies and is more than enough to deal with the crisis in front of him!

The most unsuitable candidate to be in command is also Xiao Yi, who has the power to overwhelm the world and has great achievements. If he is allowed to make new military exploits and further strengthen his strength, who can restrain Xiao Shi?

After thinking about it, Cao Pi still hopes to send a clan general to go out to firmly control the military power, so as to restrain the two major groups of the Xiao family and the gentry, and ensure that the great Wei Dynasty will last forever, but who should be sent?

Among the first-generation clan generals, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan have all passed away, and there is only one Cao Hong left. Because he was on the wrong team at the beginning, he was treated coldly after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and only one general who had a position but no authority was appointed. So depressed that he became sick, it is said that he was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.

Even if Cao Pi is willing to let go of his prejudices and reappoint this clan uncle, Cao Hong may not be able to fight on the battlefield. As for the second-generation clan generals, there are very few people who can be entrusted with important tasks!

"Generals Wen Lie and Zidan, the Shu Han invaded our territory, and the battle ahead is tight. What do you think of this?"

Cao Pi's eyes fell on Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen. One was a general and the other was a general of hussars.

More importantly, these two people are not only clan generals, but also took refuge in themselves very early on, helping to fight for the position of the son, succeeding the Great Wei King, and usurping the Han Dynasty to become the emperor. They are very reliable politically. As for the abilities of the two ……

"Nowadays the country is in trouble, and it is the responsibility of the generals. The ministers are willing to die for His Majesty, lead the troops to Jingzhou, and fight Guan Yu to the death!"
