The Three Kingdoms

"Sun Zhongmou's wedding is coming soon, the king should express his heart." Xi Zhicai said thoughtfully: "Although Wei and Wu are not on good terms, Sun Quan's wedding is to show that Wei is willing to befriend Wu. The eldest prince came to congratulate me in person, it makes sense!"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao slapped his thigh and laughed, he is also a smart person, he immediately understood Xi Zhicai's thoughts, and said loudly: "This is a good plan, if people in the world only recognize Sun Zhongmou and not Sun Bofu, Sun Bofu, a tyrannical and unparalleled lion, should be furious too, let's just see what he, Sun Zhongmou, will do?"

This is called flattery, it is a conspiracy, and it is open and aboveboard to provoke the relationship between their brothers.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't talk too much about the royal family. It's just that when Your Majesty plots against the Sun brothers, there are also people who plot against the Cao brothers. The Eldest Prince is very good, and the Second Prince has grown up too. Your Majesty should take care of it." Backyard!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao in joy, and could imagine Sun Jian in helplessness, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly said.

Most people would be very angry if they said this, even if Cao Cao didn't behead him himself, but when Xi Zhicai said it, Cao Cao's face changed slightly.

If something hadn't happened, Xi Zhi wouldn't have said that.

"Zhicai, there are only you and me here, so we have something to say!"

Cao Cao's complexion turned cold, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

Xi Zhicai shook his head, and said: "This matter should not be said by the minister. When the king personally investigates, it will be in line with the Wei royal family. The minister just advises the king. The Cao family belongs to the royal family of Wei. The house is not peaceful, and the state affairs are not safe! "

When Cao Cao heard the words, he immediately understood that it was not the dispute between the two princes Cao Ang and Cao Pi, but that someone in his harem wanted to plan for Cao Pi.

Cao Pi is less than ten years old this year. In the battle of Nanyang, he joined his elder brother Cao Ang for the first time.

"I will personally investigate this matter!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked: "By the way, Zhicai, Jia Wen and this person, what should I do alone?"

Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu's counselor, the sneak attack he planned almost caused him a big fall in Nanyang. Fortunately, Guo Jia found out early, and now this person has been brought back to Xudu by him.

But how to deal with it made Cao Cao a little worried. He wanted to use it, but he was a little afraid.

Every top strategist, if he has his heart, will be a great help, if he is not, he will be a sword that can hurt himself.

"The heart of a king, can you tolerate this person?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

"If he can be used by Gu, why can't Gu tolerate it!" Cao Cao said with a hot light in his eyes, exuding a majestic demeanor.

"Zhang Xiu has already surrendered. There is General Cao Ren in Nanyang. He can't make trouble. Jia Xu is available. If the Lord is willing, let him go to the ghost pawn!"

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, his eyes flickered with a sharp light, and said in a low voice: "I have seen this person's experience and way of doing things, and he likes to take the edge of the sword. He doesn't move, but he moves like a thunder. He is decisive in killing, and his methods are very sophisticated, he is more suitable for ghost pawns than Feng Xiao."

"Ghost soldier?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, a little hesitant, this is a great weapon of the Wei State, so he must be cautious.

"Your Majesty, the ghost soldiers have always been inferior to the Jinyiwei of the Wu Kingdom. They have been beaten by the Jinyiwei in several confrontations, and this time the stronghold of the ghost soldiers of the Chu Kingdom has almost been dominated by the Jinyiwei."

Xi Zhicai added a sentence, saying: "Although the Jinyiwei was established a few years earlier than the ghost soldiers, why the ghost soldiers have not been able to keep up with the Jinyiwei? After all, it is not that our ghost soldiers are inferior to their Jinyiwei, but that Fengxiao is not as good as Li nirvana!"

"Feng Xiao has extraordinary talents and unique wisdom. How can he be inferior to Li Nie, a son of Liaodong?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, very unclear.

Both Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are confidantes he can absolutely trust, and Guo Jia's knowledge and strategy are definitely not inferior to Xi Zhicai.

"It's not that Feng Xiao's wisdom is not as good as him, but...it's not as cruel as him!"

Xi Zhicai said lightly: "The confrontation between the two countries involves the lives of thousands of soldiers and millions of people. It is only for the sake of winning or losing, and it does not use any means. That's why there are ghost soldiers, Jin Yiwei, and the wisdom and strategy of filial piety. , are all top-notch, not inferior to anyone, but he is not as good as he is in charge of ghost pawns!"

"Who is this Li Nie?" Cao Cao was silent for a while when he heard the words, and said with a sigh that he acquiesced to Xi Zhicai's statement.

"Someone is also investigating his roots now."

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, and there was always a cold light in his eyes. Li Nie seemed to come out of nowhere. Even Liaodong didn't have much news about him, which made him very puzzled.

This person is talented, resourceful, and ruthless. He is by no means an idle person, and it is impossible for him to remain unknown all the time.

"Liu Bei, what do you think?" Cao Cao was no longer worried about Li Nie since he had the will to play. He changed the subject and asked.

"Your Majesty fought in Xinye, he must have specially helped him!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"Gu just thinks that with him in Chu State, there is no need for Gu to call in elite troops to guard against Chu State!" Cao Cao said indifferently.

"I think I can give him a little help!"

Xi Zhicai agreed with Cao Cao's thoughts, and said softly: "With him making trouble in Chu, Liu Biao is absolutely powerless to go north. We can wholeheartedly prepare for the battle against Lu!"

"Wu Guo is also eyeing Lu Guo, this battle is not easy!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed softly.

[Chapter 334 of the big wedding]

The seventh day of May.

Jinling City, when the darkness torn by the rays of the morning sun poured over this majestic city, this giant beast crawling beside the Yangtze River seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.

At this moment, the whole city boiled.

As the royal capital of Wu State, Jinling City has never had a curfew. The thirteen city gates are open all year round, day and night, and never closed. This is the self-confidence of Wu State and the arrogance of Wu Wang Sun Jian.

He didn't think anyone could hit Wu's capital.

Today, the weather is sunny, the sky is high and the air is crisp, the temperature is neither high nor low, and it is very peaceful. Before dawn, long queues have already appeared at each city gate, which is very crowded.

Sun Quan got married, Wu Guo was excited, and the world congratulated him.

The congratulators came from all directions, carrying heavy gifts in carriages, forming a congratulatory team, and walked into this majestic city.

……

"Uncle Zhong, the magnificence and grandeur of Jinling City are beyond my reach!" Under the Zhengyang Gate, a young man, carrying a congratulatory gift, rode a horse and walked into the city gate. After leaving this city, his eyes lingered on this majestic city, the light was invigorating, and he sighed.

"Zixiu!"

Zhong Yao rode an ordinary steed, walked behind Cao Ang, smiled lightly, squinted his eyes slightly, and examined the city, with a gleam of contempt flashing across his eyes.

He said calmly: "The scale of this Jinling City is comparable to that of Luoyang in Chang'an, and it was built in less than three years. One can imagine the money it spent. It is very unwise to go to war and deplete the treasury of the State of Wu. The country just wastes the people's taxes on appearances, you don't have to care too much!"

He had also been to Moling City in the past, but it was just a small city. The scale of Jinling City today is indeed beyond his imagination, and he can even imagine the money needed in it with his toes.

He saw that it was unwise for Wu Guo to mobilize the treasury and waste taxes for such a capital city. Now that the world is in chaos, all countries are focusing on military training. With this financial resources, it is better to train more elite soldiers to unify the country. world.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the state treasury of the Wu State had never paid a dime for this city, and Sun Jian was just sitting back and enjoying it, so he was naturally happy.
