In case of another defeat, how can he bear the destiny and replace Han as emperor?

I'm afraid that those big and pure ministers will eat pots and milk to welcome Master Wang, and there will not even be one who actively persuades himself to ascend to the position of supreme.

Xiahou Dun shook his head, feeling that the headache was getting worse today, and the symptoms of chest tightness became more and more obvious, so he hurried back to the room to rest.

Xia Houshang returned home safely, and his wife Cao Ying and a pair of children finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole family complained about the pain of parting, and they ate together again,

Xiahoushang first asked his son Xiahouxuan and daughter Xiahouhui their homework, and then ordered his servants to bring books to test Xiahouxuan's art of war.

Xia Houxuan, who was only 11 years old, had been obediently reading the books of saints at home since he was a child. Although he had read a little bit of the art of war, it was very superficial, let alone actually talked about marching and deploying formations.

He was dumbfounded by Xia Houshang's question, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xia Houshang shook his head regretfully, and said:

"It's my father's fault. I will teach you the art of war in the future."

Xia Houshang's wife, Cao Zhen's younger sister, Cao Ying, couldn't bear to see her studious son's frustrated face.

She complained unhappily:

"You just came home, why did you say these things at home?

Xuan'er is only 11 years old, he knows the art of war, don't embarrass him! "

Xia Houshang said with emotion:

"Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Chan, swept the world at the age of 12. Ten thousand people are invincible, and he will be a big trouble in the future.

If Xuan'er is the son of Qianshou, it's fine, but he is the son of my Xia Houshang, he must study hard in military art, and fight Liu Chan to the death in the future! "

Seeing her husband's proud face, Cao Ying sighed:

"Did Mr. Lang say today that he will visit my brother tomorrow and ask him to send troops to the south to attack Jingzhou?"

"It's natural!"

Cao Ying waved her hand to let the pair of children leave, then held Xia Houxuan's hand again, and said solemnly:

"Don't talk nonsense! My brother is planning big things these days, is it time to use troops?"

"Zihuan wants to..." Xia Houxuan came to his senses,

He knew that Cao Pi was about to realize his long-cherished wish for many years and climb to the top of the world.

Now, Cao Wei's loyal ministers have begun to create public opinion and auspiciousness, propagating everywhere that the man is about to die.

There must be no pause or reversal in this process.

Before Cao Pi takes the throne, there must be no further complications.

Xia Houshang opened his mouth and was speechless in a daze. He could only sigh and remained silent.

That night, Xia Houshang was not in the slightest interest to discuss the meaning of life with his wife who had been away for a long time.

This made Mrs. Cao, who had been waiting for a long time, very angry.

She waited for a while, then lay on Xia Houshang's body in dissatisfaction, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and said angrily:

"Our mother and son hoped for you to come home day and night, why did you return home, but you looked like a dead person?"

Xia Houshang didn't hear his wife's complaints, his mind was full of all kinds of Jiangling——

Now Cao Wei generally holds a concept, that is, he still has an absolute advantage, and he has one more Liangzhou than before the Battle of Chibi.

Our own side is still the most powerful force in the world, occupies the most fertile land in the world, and has more gentlemen and celebrities to support it.

Although Liu Bei and the others won for a while, it is impossible to shake the foundation of Cao Wei.

As long as you take a good rest for a period of time, and wait for the Central Plains, Hebei, and Guanzhong to have enough food and grass, and enough soldiers and food, there will be no problem in sweeping the world.

After all, the level of development in the south is far inferior to that in the north these days, and the most important grain-producing areas are Hebei and the Central Plains.

This determines that Cao Wei will have a huge advantage in food and population.

In wars in the era of cold weapons, more people are effective.

But Xia Houshang knew that going on like this would be very dangerous.

It is said that Liu Chan is promoting a high-yield crop,

The output is not as good as that of the prosperous Central Plains for the time being, but with the development of Jingxiang, a large amount of land can be filled with these crops, and the barbarians in the mountains have also been moved out by Liu Chan for farming.

This Jingzhou is getting stronger every year, and the more difficult it is to eliminate them in the future.

Moreover, Liu Chan has a lot of pictures, and he developed the engraving printing method early on, so that a large number of articles can be promoted, and the price of books will also drop significantly.

The most frightening thing is that only a few people know what the original version of many books looks like because of the fallacies that have occurred in many years of copying.

And the final right of interpretation rests in the hands of these wealthy families in the north.

But now Jing Xiang's manuscripts have begun to come out in large numbers, and have even been sold to the Central Plains and Wu.

In a few years, these manuscripts will become the correct solution, firmly imprinted in the general impression of the people, and people in future generations will also interpret them according to these manuscripts.

The books in the hands of these wealthy families...

So many fallacies, let's keep it for myself in the future.

When Xia Houshang left, even the lowest level Guishou and the barbarians in Jingzhou began to learn characters with the help of stories widely circulated in the market.

Xia Houshang's scalp tingles when he thinks about facing an army that is literate per capita like when the Han Dynasty was in its heyday.

The engraving method is not difficult. Liu Chan's papermaking and ink methods should be able to figure it out slowly.

The immediate strategy is how to persuade Zihuan to send troops to suppress Liu Chan's momentum and destroy Liu Chan's deployment.

As long as Jingzhou can't develop with peace of mind, it can...

"You speak a word!"

When Cao Ying saw her husband's eyes were blank and he was muttering words, she couldn't help being even more furious.

"You should say something, you should say something!"

Xia Houshang was in a bad mood and said casually:

"I'm tired today, let's rest early!"

Cao Ying was stunned on the spot. Seeing Xia Houshang turned sideways, she gritted her teeth and said viciously:

"Do you think that I am old and my appearance is not as good as those coquettish girls?

You are in Jingzhou, do you have someone who understands you? "

Xia Houshang rolled his eyes, thinking what kind of nonsense this is.

Lao Tzu was captured and went to Jingzhou, he was captured.

But thinking of the days when she was captured, Madam must have been terrified and moved around to rescue herself.

He turned around and hugged Cao Ying, comforting him softly:

"Madam, you've worked hard, rest early today, let's discuss tomorrow if you have anything to do!"

Although Cao Ying was annoyed, seeing her husband comforting her softly, she could only sigh.

She rested her head on her husband's arm and sighed:

"When I see my brother tomorrow, don't talk nonsense, let alone talk about the Southern Expedition, remember it."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again, waiting for Xia Houshang to answer,

But after a while, Xia Houshang's uniform snoring slowly rang in his ears.

Cao Ying was very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. She thought that she must tell Xia Houshang in front of her brothers some other day.

·

On the second day, Xiahou Shang went to see Xiahou Dun early in the morning, and wanted to go to see Cao Pi with Xiahou Dun.

But Xiahoudun actually took the lead in entering the palace early in the morning, leaving Xiahoushang very speechless.

He knew that Xiahou Dun had communicated with Cao Pi in advance.

Sure enough, when he saw Cao Pi, Cao Pi, who grew up with him, didn't show any smile on his face, but just looked up and down at Xia Houshang solemnly.

"What about Wenpin?"

"..."

"Where's Xu Huang?"

"This……"

"None of them came back, only you came back, do you know why?"

Xia Houshang never expected that Cao Pi would suddenly attack him, so he quickly bowed down and pleaded guilty.

Cao Pi sighed slowly and rubbed his temples wearily.

He always believed that Xia Houshang's defeat was not entirely his fault,

Originally, his attack on the three eastern counties was a dangerous move. Even if he lost, it was not entirely Xia Houshang's fault.

But Xia Houshang had just been released, and he was going to go to the south again, which made Cao Pi very unhappy.

Southern expedition?

What southward march?

Even if Liu Chan is not there, Guan Yu has already crossed the river.

Abandoning the dilapidated Fancheng has already represented Cao Pi temporarily giving up the fight for Xiangyang, and fully preparing for usurping the Han Dynasty.

How come you, Xia Houshang, can't understand the situation like this?

Fortunately, Xiahou Dun ventilated in advance,

Otherwise, when Cao Pi received Xiahoushang beamingly and heard the news, he must be annoyed to make gestures with Xiahoushang with sugar cane.

"My lord is guilty!"

Xia Houshang pleaded guilty on the ground in great panic, which made Cao Pi feel better.

"Okay, it's hard for you to come back, let's rest for a while.

When you are ready, I will also make you a general, let's talk about it then. "

originally,

originally.

According to the emotional intelligence of normal people, the leader's words have reached the end of this point, and they can go home and have a long vacation happily.

But Xiahou was still unwilling.

He is in a hurry.

"I am guilty, but when I was in Jiangling, I saw that Jiangling was prosperous and Liu Chan was able to govern the army well.

The barbarians in the mountains gladly surrendered and planted sweet potatoes and rice widely. In less than two years, Jingzhou will be rich and the bandits will be powerful. Don't..."

"shut up!"

Cao Pi was furious.

Xiahoudun who was behind him felt a chill, and quickly got up to salute:

"Your Majesty calm down, Boren, this is..."

"It's because you are useless!" Cao Pi roared angrily.

"You credulously believed in Meng Da and buried the entire army. In order to return you, I have to declare Guan Yu as Jingzhou shepherd! Jingzhou shepherd!

You also know that Guan Yu is strong, why is Guan Yu strong?It's not that you are unwilling to pay attention! "

"I have high hopes for you, I never imagined that you, Wenpin and Xu Huang would fight like this!

If it hadn't been for Chang Juying to stick to Xinye, Guan Yu would have hit Luoyang by now! "

Cao Pi said while coughing repeatedly.

He kicked the desk in front of Xia Houshang, grabbed the seat and threw it at Xia Houshang.

Seeing the table case fall, Cao Pi was still puzzled, he strode up, grabbed the table case, and slammed it on Xia Houshang's face non-stop.
