Then again, although this plan to destroy Wu is exquisite, it also has some concerns:

What if Lu Xun sees through the trick and doesn't lead the main force to fight in Chaisang?

What if Sun Quan defends Jian'an City to the death, and Cao Xiu's men and horses are unable to attack for a long time?

The most worrying thing is, can Cao Zhen's troops stop Lu Xun's rescue team? Water warfare is Cao Jun's weakness!

"How is the drill of the Huainan navy, can they compete with the Wu army?"

Wei's cavalry and infantry are very strong, only the navy is weak, but if you want to conquer Wu, you must cross the Yangtze River and defeat Wu's elite navy!

Therefore, Cao Pi ordered the officials of the counties in Huainan to recruit sailors and build warships, and to build a powerful navy in the shortest possible time!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the local officials have reported that more than 3 sailors and more than 1000 ships of all sizes have been recruited, and they are stepping up training day and night, but it may take some time to compete with the Wu water army.

Why not... why not send an order to Master Taishi to quickly mobilize the Jingzhou navy to assist in the battle. Jingzhou has 2000 sailors and more than [-] large and small warships. Wenpin, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun are all proficient in water warfare. With this strong support, our army will have a better chance of winning! "

Several counselors showed distressed faces. Most of the soldiers of the Wei army were from the north, and few were proficient in water skills. They could only recruit water troops in the Huainan area.

In addition, most of the ships collected by the Wei army are small and slow merchant ships and fishing boats. How can they compete with the giant ships of the Wu state and the Yuhuang boat?

The most important thing is that although there are many counselors and generals like rain in Wei State, there are few who are proficient in water warfare, and there is no one comparable to Lu Xun. Food?

The only way in front of him is to transfer the Jingzhou navy to join the battle. This is equivalent to making Cao Pi bow his head and beg Xiao Yi to help. Will the Emperor of Wei be willing to put down his pride?

"My decree: all the counties and counties in Huainan, all men over the age of 16 and under the age of 60 will be recruited into the navy, and those who dare to resist the call--cut!

Then order officials in Huainan to collect and supervise the construction of [-] warships within a month. If one is missing, I will also chop off their heads!

After the collection of sailors and ships is completed, they will be assigned to the left and right governors. There is a saying that fierce tigers are afraid of wolves, and ants kill elephants. Even if you use three to fight one, five to fight one, I will fight for them all Wu Guoshuijun! "

Cao Pi repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, gritted his teeth and rejected the suggestions of the counselors, and refused to ask Xiao Yi for help. This was not only a matter of the dignity of the Wei Emperor, but also worried about being picked peaches.

Once the Xiao family intervenes in the Southern Expedition, the achievement of destroying Wu is likely to be taken away. Wouldn’t all my hard work be in vain? The reason why I arranged the fourth group of troops is to monitor Guan Yu’s army, but also to monitor the Jingzhou navy !

"But Your Majesty..."

"Don't talk too much, let's pass the decree!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Several counselors wanted to persuade again, but Cao Pi's attitude was firm, with murderous intent in his eyes, so scared that no one dared to speak more!

Next, everyone continued to discuss the matter of the Southern Expedition, and also carried out a deduction of the battle situation. Every detail was repeatedly deliberated, trying to be as foolproof as possible... until the third watch!

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Your Majesty, please send a message to the imperial doctor!"

"Oh, I don't need the imperial doctor... pills... quickly bring my pills!"

"Your Majesty, Jin Dan!"

During the discussion, Cao Pi suddenly changed his face, his hands and feet were trembling, and his clothes were soaked in sweat instantly, but the important officials were frightened, thinking that Cao Pi had some kind of emergency, and he would summon the imperial doctor for treatment!

Knowing the situation, several eunuchs quickly took out a small golden gourd, poured out a few pills from it, the size of broad beans, glittering with gold, stuffed them all into Cao Pi's mouth, and used tea to help him obey!

It turns out that in recent years, Cao Pi has worked day and night on government affairs, coupled with excessive intimacy with women, and his body has been exhausted. Relying on ginseng soup and medicinal wine for nourishment is no longer effective, and he refuses to let go of his power or distribute it to others!

I had no choice but to imitate my father's practice in the past and summon a group of warlocks to enter the palace to make alchemy, so as to forcibly stimulate the potential of the body, so as to cope with the heavy military and political affairs, as well as the beauties in the harem!

Cao Pi knew in his heart that taking Jindan was a dead end, so he tried his best to restrain himself and began to take one pill a day. Counted grains.

Moreover, Jindan has become addicted, if he does not take it after a meal, or if he takes less, Cao Pi will sweat like rain, his hands and feet will keep shaking, and his bones will feel as uncomfortable as worms eating ants!

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!"

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart, that's all for today!"

"According to the order!"

After taking the golden elixir and panting for a while, Cao Pi's body stopped shaking, and he became a little more energetic, but it was impossible to continue discussing, so he had to go back to the bedroom to rest!

The officials did not dare to say anything about such a taboo of the emperor, so they sighed and respectfully sent Cao Pi away. Among them, Cao Xiong was the most thoughtful, and sent his elder brother back to the bedroom before returning to his residence!

…………

"The next official sees Your Highness!"

"Oh, so it's Master Jijiu, what's your intention here?"

"The lower officials have prepared some food and wine, and I would like to invite His Highness to have a few drinks. I wonder if it would be a favor?"

Cao Xiong was preoccupied, and led several personal guards back to the residence. Unexpectedly, when he passed a corridor, a figure suddenly flashed beside him. It was the newly appointed military officer offering wine - Sima Yi!

An important official of the court invited a prince and king to drink late at night. It was such a strange way that one could figure it out with his toes. It must be more than just drinking!

Logically speaking, it is a political taboo for princes and kings to make friends with important court officials. Cao Xiong should politely decline, return to his residence immediately, and find an opportunity to report the matter to Cao Pi!

But Cao Xiong pondered for a moment, then looked around the corridor, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, he and Sima Yi looked at each other for a moment, then nodded slightly, and the two quickly disappeared into the darkness...

Chapter 1687 'Emperor Qi Huan' and 'Guan Zhong'!

"The humble house is so simple, I really wronged the king!"

"Haha, the room is full of scholarly atmosphere, why talk about the word simple?"

"I'm ashamed, I'm just looking for chapters and excerpts, how can I be more knowledgeable than the king, but it's an honor to be able to drink with the king tonight!"

"Master Jijiu is resourceful and resourceful. His reputation as a virtuous minister is well known in the world. This king is also like thunder, and he has long wanted to make friends. Today, he finally got his wish!"

……

Sima Yi's residence is very simple. Except for some simple daily necessities, there are boxes and boxes of books. There are probably thousands of volumes. It has been read countless times.

There is also a set of stainless steel chain armor and a green sword in the corner, which proves that the owner of this room is not only full of economics, but also has a strong martial spirit and good martial arts skills!

After the host and guest were seated, the servant brought some side dishes and a pot of fine wine, and then obediently retreated out. Only Cao Xiong and Sima Yi were left in the room.

"This is Huainan's specialty plum wine. It has strong, sour and sweet flavors. Your Majesty needs to taste it carefully to appreciate the 'taste'!"

While probing with words, Sima Yi observed Cao Xiong, and four words couldn't help appearing in his mind--a strange thing to live in!

Cao Pi is worried about his health, and it is bound to be difficult for a long time. This is something that everyone in the Wei court knows. Therefore, the ministers with more active minds are quietly observing and speculating, who will become the second emperor of the Great Wei. Make political investment in advance, and make him a huge profit!

According to the rule of succession from father to son, the new emperor must be born among the princes, and Cao Pi's internal skills are good, and he gave birth to ten sons in a row:

The eldest son Cao Rui, 15 years old, was named Pingyuan King!

The second son, Cao Jie, died two months after he was born (short-lived ghost).
