Chapter 487 Reverse Persuasion

After Xu Shu heard the news of Liu Bei's full-scale northern expedition and Wei's defeat in Hanzhong, he drank wine and got drunk for three days, rejoicing for the upcoming event.

At the same time, he also started his own plan.

Xu Shu was alone in Luoyang, most people wisely kept a certain distance from him, and there were very few people who could help him, but what he had to do was a very important thing.

He has been stepping up his plans these days, just waiting for the arrival of the last time.

These days, many people in the court of Wei State have suggested that the emperor withdraw to Yecheng, and that Luoyang and the surrounding areas should be guarded by the Grand Sima Cao Ren and others, so as to avoid the dangerous situation where Luoyang was besieged and the emperor could not escape.

This plan was firmly supported by Liu Ye, the servant. He believed that the defense of Yecheng was strong, and the aristocratic families in Hebei had a good relationship with Cao Wei over the years. With the favorable terrain of Yecheng, they were not afraid of the impact of the Han army.

Chen Qun was very dissatisfied with Liu Ye's suggestion.

Cao Wei started his career with the support of the Yingchuan family.

Now that the situation is rotten, the emperor can run away, but Chen Qun and others can't abandon their hometown and run to Hebei together, and let the Hebei aristocratic family manipulate them.

Chen Qun, who is Sikong, came out and anxiously analyzed the pros and cons to Cao Rui.

"Since ancient times, those who occupy the Central Plains are the orthodox in the world. The Shu bandits are rampant. They have already occupied Guanzhong and are about to invade Chang'an.

If our dynasty withdraws from the Central Plains, we will hand over the world to the Shu bandits.

If His Majesty is really like this, the group has nothing else to say. "

Chen Qun had already talked about this, so naturally no one dared to talk about moving the capital.

But what he said is also reasonable. Now that Cao Wei occupies the Central Plains, it can still be said that it is the orthodoxy of the world.

If he fled to Yecheng, I'm afraid Gongsun Gong would call him——

Yandi can dispatch at least [-] troops on foot and cavalry. With Cao Wei's current strength, it would really take a pot to resist the attack of these [-] troops.

and……

Your family's relationship with the big clans in Hebei is barely passable, but don't you have any idea what the people in Jizhou and Youzhou have been treated by you?

Many people in Youzhou and Jizhou would rather go to the Hu people as slaves than continue to be under the rule of Cao Wei.

A few days ago, Ke Bineng sent back five hundred fleeing households in Dai County to show his friendship.

If these common people knew that Wei was dying, they might rise up in an instant. Can you really sleep in that kind of place?

Chen Qun's face was great, he calmed down everyone with a single word, and no one dared to sing against him easily.

But one dares.

"I also thought that the Son of Heaven should patrol the city of Ye in the north!"

It's Xu Shu!

He seldom speaks in the court, but Xu Shu, the biggest bastard in the court, actually speaks!

Chen Qun looked at Xu Shu in astonishment, but didn't realize what this guy was going to do for a while.

Xu Shu calmly said:

"Now that the kingdom of Shu is coming to attack, and Sun Quan is rampant, the two thieves are coming fiercely. We can't compete with them. We can only avoid the front for a while, let Da Sima and Zhang Wenyuan stand firm in the city, and then lure Wu and Shu to attack each other and wait. opportunity.

Hebei is rich and rich, with sufficient soldiers and food, and can train [-] soldiers.

The emperor can patrol Yecheng in the north, persuade farmers to cultivate mulberry, cultivate military equipment, and train tens of thousands of elite troops to conquer the exhausted divisions of Wu and Shu. "

Xu Shu's words sounded a little bit reasonable.

When Cao Cao first occupied Yecheng, he told Cui Yan excitedly that he had looked through the household registration book and felt that the land of Jizhou could still train 30 troops.

At that time, Cui Yan was very speechless, and told Cao Cao that now Hebei is like this. After you came, you didn’t understand the customs and treat people with sincerity.

This is more than 20 years ago.

In the past 20 years, although the people in Youzhou, Jizhou lived very painfully under the scholar-family system, the aristocratic families in Jizhou were still well mixed.

As long as they are willing to support Cao Rui, Cao Rui simply doesn't want the people's livelihood to explode quickly, and then train tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

It's hard to say whether he can defeat the big man, at least he won't be wiped out by Gongsun Gong.

It stands to reason that if Xu Shu came out to sing the opposite tune, even if Chen Qun didn't lose his temper, he would definitely turn pale.

But when Chen Qun looked at Xu Shu, a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face, but Liu Ye, who advocated moving the capital to Yecheng, turned very ugly.

Sure enough, Cao Rui, who was still hesitant, snorted and said with a sneer:

"Great Wei obeyed the destiny of heaven and was admired by the gentlemen of the world, how could he easily give up the important land of the Central Plains?

I have made up my mind, I will personally guard Luoyang, and you don't need to persuade me any more. "

If someone persuades him, Cao Rui has a high probability of listening a little bit, but the person who persuaded him was Xu Shu...

Liu Bei is about to call, and Xu Shu will be able to meet his old master and old friend immediately. Will he make it more difficult for the old master and old friend at this time, and make himself feel uncomfortable?

Isn't this stupid?

Liu Ye's face changed drastically. He stared at Xu Shu firmly, unable to speak for a long time.

Chen Qun was ecstatic in his heart, he even nodded to Xu Shu slightly, and the corners of Xu Shu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.

become.

Both goals were achieved.

Cao Rui couldn't leave.

If he moves the capital, what will happen to the Yingchuan nobles?

What about Chen Qun's status in the court?

If he left, he would definitely throw Xu Shu in Luoyang, and it was not easy for this big man and pure minister.

Cao Rui can also think of this.

He looked coldly at Xu Shu who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was already ready to kill.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu seemed to be ignorant and continued to die.

He actually bowed in front of Cao Rui again, and said loudly:

"Since Your Majesty is willing to personally defend Luoyang, please also appoint a crown prince to secure the foundation of the country!"

There was silence all around.

Even Chen Qun and Sima Yi were trembling, not daring to breathe.

Cao Rui looked coldly at Xu Shu who was worshiping in front of him, and forced himself to calm down as much as possible, the ferocious expression on his face gradually calmed down, revealing a calm and calm smile.

"Yuan Zhi's words are quite reasonable, but who does Yuan Zhi mean?"

Send a proposition!

If Xu Shu dares to answer, then he is really a talent.

Cao Rui, like his father Cao Pi, had a restless harem.

Before he was established as a prince, he married his wife Yu Shi from a famous family, but he didn't like this woman from the bottom of his heart. When he became a queen, he appointed the coachman's daughter Mao Shi instead.

This made the Yu family very angry, and even said in front of Queen Mother Bian that your Cao family has always liked to appoint people from humble backgrounds as queens, and has never been able to establish anyone with virtue and righteousness.However, the queen is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and the emperor listens to the affairs outside the palace. The two complement each other.If it is impossible to have a good beginning, then it is impossible to have a good end.I am afraid that the funeral ceremony for the subjugation of the Great Wei will start here!

This remark made the Empress Dowager Bian, who was born in Kabuki, very angry. She told Cao Rui exactly what she said. Although Cao Rui did not act as cruelly as his father, he still drove the Yu family to Yecheng, and now he has no heirs.

It is also natural for the emperor to personally sit in a dangerous place like Luoyang, so he must arrange a successor to sit in Yecheng just in case.

Cao Rui faintly sensed that Xu Shu's persuasion to move to Yecheng was false, and he took the opportunity to persuade him to establish a crown prince. But now that Cao Rui has no heirs, who should he establish...

Others would definitely not dare to take up the topic of setting up a prince.

But who is Xu Shu?

He smiled lightly and said very politely:

"Both King Yongqiu and King Jingzhao can be conquered to become the unification. As for who to choose, it depends on His Majesty's own idea."

How dare you say that.

The king of Yongqiu is Cao Zhi, and the king of Jingzhao is Cao Li.

Cao Rui didn't want to see either of these two people.

You still want to make them princes...

"Xu Shu, you dare to talk about the important matters of the Tian family, what is your intention!" Liu Fang had already seen that something was wrong, so he quickly scolded Xu Shu.

Xu Shu smiled lightly:

"It was His Majesty who asked me. As a subject, I naturally know everything and say everything. Do I still dare to lie to Your Majesty?"

If Cao Cao or Cao Pi were sitting on the throne, he would have been furious and wanted to kill Xu Shu by now.

But Cao Rui calmed down a little after all,

He already felt that Xu Shu had other plans, and might even want to sacrifice himself to make the already precarious Wei even more dangerous.

So, he didn't fall for it.

"Yuan Zhi is old enough to seek the country, there is nothing wrong with this matter, anyway, I will think about it a little bit."

As he spoke, he winked at Liu Fang who was on the side.

Liu Fang nodded and said loudly:

"Jingzhou just sent the military report. Jingzhou has won a great victory, and Liu Bei has returned to Wancheng."

Xuzhou is basically on the verge of losing control, and it is not unacceptable if Chang Diao suddenly becomes self-reliant one day.

But Cao Rui in Jingzhou was unwilling to give up. He received a large number of reports from different eyeliners for comparison every day, and finally he was able to learn some real information.

He deliberately mentioned it here, just to temporarily deter the pure officials of the big Han in the court, so that they will not be too rampant, and Liu Bei is not invincible.

Their current offensive rhythm has been held back by the revived Cao Wei's famous general Xia Houshang, and the Central Plains is still dominated by the Great Wei!

As Cao Rui spoke, he unabashedly cast his eyes on Xu Shu.

Seeing that Xu Shu was still calm and calm, and even nodded slightly with a smile, Cao Rui became murderous, and cast a look at Liu Fang, Liu felt relieved to understand.

·

After being imprisoned for a long time, Cao Wei's famous general Xia Houshang finally recovered as General Zhennan. In order to stop Liu Bei, the strongest opponent, Cao Rui even sent Xia Houshang a luxurious combination of Jiang Ji and Zang Ba.

Zang Ba didn't expect that he could still lead the army in his lifetime, and he also fully cooperated with Xia Houshang when he was in a good mood.

Before Xia Houshang arrived, he had heard that the Han army went northward very smoothly, and had successively broken through Fancheng and Xinye.

Xia Houmao was at a loss for what to do, and was so frightened that he was about to cry.

He was going to station in Wancheng, but he just arrived in Ye County and found that Xia Houmao was also here.

Seeing Xia Houshang, he rushed forward as if grabbing a life-saving straw, crying loudly:

"Boren, Boren, it's all up to you, it's all up to you!"

Xia Houshang was very speechless to this clan brother, and could only sigh:

"You are the governor, why are you here, take me to the front of the battle quickly."

Xia Houmao gave a hey hey in embarrassment, and muttered:

"Here... this is the front of the formation."

Xia Houshang: ...

During Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Xia Houmao had [-] pure combat troops, but he did not divide his troops properly and did not dare to go to the front to command. As a result, tens of thousands of troops accompanied Ding Feng to hide and seek everywhere. They could not resist Liu Bei's entire army during the Northern Expedition. Hold on, get beaten to the crap.

but.

Xia Houmao, who has always been known for his family affairs, showed his genius side in this battle.

Although his army has been played by Ding Feng, beaten by Liu Bei, and basically lost the entire Jingzhou, he still has [-] soldiers.

This finally gave Xia Houshang a little more confidence.

"Hey, that's good. Report this general's name to the Shu army. After hearing this general's name, the Shu army will retreat."

Xia Houshang did not think that his name could scare the enemy back, but through analysis, he found that the Han army was advancing too fast, the supply line was stretched too long, and the rear was not stable.

If they knew that Wei Jun's coach had changed from Xiahoumao to Xiahoushang, they would have slowed down their advancement a little just in case.

This can make Wei Jun breathe a little easier, and the rest of the matter can only be taken one step at a time.
