Tian Yan

Cao Pi lowered his head and hurriedly walked through the long corridor, his brows were deeply furrowed, but he had no time to pay attention to him.

The Red Cliff of the Wei State was defeated. Although there was a rift between Wu and Shu because of Jingzhou, Liu Bei has always been hypocritical. Although he didn't take the matter seriously, it also made it difficult for the Wu State to turn against him. He only wanted to borrow Jingzhou.Now the Kingdom of Shu has Xichuan again, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with Jingzhou as the gateway, it is eyeing the Central Plains covetously, becoming the biggest threat to the Wei Kingdom.

The state affairs are already like this, and Cao Zhang sent an additional [-] troops to guard Fancheng today, to stand against the Shu army.Cao Cao allocated him [-] without saying a word, and gave him the right to freely dispatch soldiers and horses from the eight counties.Cao Zhang's power in the army can be described as monstrous for a while.

Cao Pi knew that Wei Guofang was defeated, and it was time to employ people.Cao Zhang was able to fight and kill with outstanding military exploits. Giving such attention is also to show the generals, let them know that as long as they are brave and good at fighting, they will have a taste of sweetness.

In contrast, civil servants are much more desolate.

Cao Pi was in a mess, he knew what an expedient strategy was, but after Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao didn't immediately decide on the position of prince. He thought that if he got rid of Cao Chong, he would be able to take the position, at least he was the No. 1 choice.But I didn't expect that the world was unpredictable, and the martial artist Cao Zhang took the opportunity, but he was useless instead!

He has always been a military general in troubled times. He can't be a martial artist if he can't write well. Cao Cao has someone who can make suggestions.

Absolutely not... But, what can I do?

Cao Pi seemed to be bitten by ants in his heart, and he couldn't find where he was going.After returning to the mansion, the left and right were depressed, and smashed a jade lamp with his hands.

Someone heard the sound, Cao Pidao was a servant, and shouted directly: "Get out!"

The man still entered the door silently, Cao Pi turned around and glared and found that it was Wu Zhi who was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient. It's a good thing that Cao Zhang is willing to fight against Shu."

Cao Pi sneered: "Where is it good, tell me."

"Your Highness thought, although the Battle of Chibi was said to be a joint battle between Wu and Shu, the battle was fought on the border of Wu State, and the troops were basically all from Wu State. Shu State reaped the benefits of being a fisherman and even cheated Jingzhou. But What does the attitude of the State of Wu show? It shows that they have lost their vitality and can only make friends with the State of Shu in order to protect themselves. Now that the State of Shu is strong and the State of Wu is weak, I think that there is no difference in terms of military use or diplomatic strategy. It’s time to gnaw at the hard bone of Shu Kingdom.”

Cao Pi's complexion gradually eased: "You mean, we should go to make friends with Wu Guo?"

"It's not just friendship. I heard that Sun Ce, the regent of Wu, and Sun Quan, the emperor, have a delicate relationship." Wu Zhi smiled meaningfully.

Cao Pi also smiled: "Okay, I will go to the palace to play father right away, and explain clearly the pros and cons of each."

But Wu Zhi grabbed his arm, and Wu Zhi shook his head again and again: "Your Highness is going, but not to analyze the current situation, but to recommend himself as an envoy to the country of Wu."

Cao Pi paused, Erqing nodded slowly: "Yes, you have to work hard."

Wu Zhi lowered his eyes: "Your Highness, you know why His Majesty is so wise, but he didn't see this?"

"Why?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Wu Zhiqingjun's face, and finally he said slowly: "I dare not take credit, all of this is Mr. Sima's intention."

"Zhongda?"

"Sir, this is the best strategy to help His Highness win the game, and you must not let it down."

Cao Pi was struck by lightning. It turned out that what he said that day that he would help him seal the border and become emperor was not a lie.

It's just...the so-called couch policy is definitely not as honest as the allusion.

Cao Pi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was neither sad nor happy.

From the moment he pushed Sima Yi to take the blame, Sima Yi must have hated him to the core, and helping him now is just getting what he needs.

So, why not use this handy weapon?

"Wu Zhi, how did I realize that your intelligence is not inferior to Sima Yi's."

Wu Zhi bit his lip, and there was a moment of self-mockery on his face: "How dare I compare with Mr. Sima..."

Cao Pi turned around and smiled at him, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Wu Zhi, I think you are better than him."

After Cao Chong's death, Sima Yi was thrown into the Imperial Academy and given a idle job.In Cao Cao's words, it is most appropriate to read sage books during the day and do sage deeds at night.

Sima Yi didn't comment on this comment, but just revised the book every day, and now it's all gray.

There are many civil servants in Taiyuan Academy, some are low-key, and some are flamboyant.Sima Yi sat in a corner by himself and never listened.

Until that day, I heard a sentence: "You really don't understand what His Majesty means..."

Sima Yi's eyelids twitched, and he silently looked in the direction of the voice. He was a thin man with a look of madness in his eyes.

Sima Yi chuckled inwardly, Yang Xiu is just a self-righteous man with a bad fate.

As wise as a fool, the tip of a silver-like wax gun is always shiny.What's more, people who try to figure out what they want, but don't know how long they can keep their heads.

Sima Yi chuckled, Master Yang Xiu, Cao Zhi's entourage.

This person is available.

Chibi was defeated in the first battle, but the rumors still did not stop.

First, there was a raging wind across the river. Although the flames of war were extinguished, waves of dark waves hid in the turbid river in autumn, silently accumulating strength.

The Wei State was defeated, but the disaster was successfully directed to the two countries of Wu and Shu. It was a pity that the fat of Jingzhou was stuck in the throat, and it was a pity that it could not be vomited.

Cao Pi stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. The wind from the river blew his wide robe sleeves, making a rustling sound.

Negotiations are secondary to going to Wu State, and now Shu State is full of arrogance.He, the envoy of Wei, chose this opportunity, although he would not be killed, he would certainly not live comfortably.

But he must accept this errand.His writing is not as good as Cao Zhiwu's and Cao Zhang's is not as good as Cao Zhang's. He only has a face and a tough bone that can endure, so he wants to make a way out for himself.

And... Sima Yi.

Cao Pi's heart twitched, and he lowered his head to look at the vast river. Wave after wave beat against the ship's side, and the waves reflected the faint light of the sky.

Yang Xiu sat in the bright place, idly flipping through the fragments of scrolls in Sima Yi's hand.

Sima Yi buried his head, the remnants of the previous dynasty were basically lost due to the war, and it was really tedious work to restore the original appearance from the scattered records of various manuscripts and then copy them.

"Master Yang, I want to use that book in your hand."

"Oh?" Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows, raised the book in his hand, and the thin old paper made a shocking crisp sound in the air, "But I haven't finished it yet."

Sima Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyes were still lowered slightly: "Master Yang, I'm going to finish the manuscript today, and this book is on my desk for future use."

The corner of Yang Xiu's mouth twitched into a smile: "Did I remember wrongly, the books of the Tai Academy, not officials can borrow them at will?"

"My lord is right, but these books are placed on my desk by the subordinates..."

Yang Xiu cleared his throat: "Based on what you're saying, as long as you want to use the entire Library Pavilion of Taiyuan Academy, no one else can use it?"

These words were full of gunpowder, Sima Yi raised his eyes, took a deep breath, and said nothing.

Cao Zhi is casual, and also likes to make friends with people with different abilities. Yang Xiu is a bit crooked, so he probably became Cao Zhi's disciple.It's just that this person doesn't know how to restrain himself, and sooner or later he will cause trouble for his master.

Yang Xiu's voice was quite loud, and seeing the civil servants looking at him one after another, Sima Yi smiled uncomfortably: "My lord, this historical treatise on the former dynasty was requested by His Majesty to read, and the Second Highness also set a deadline before leaving." In order not to affect the reading of the adults, the lower officials have sorted out the books to be quoted, and returned them to the shelf immediately after they are finished."

These words were to the point, not only stabilized the civil servants, but also successfully angered Yang Xiu.

Sima Yi knew in his heart that Yang Xiu was a person who couldn't hold his breath, and he was eager to stand up for Cao Zhi, but he slapped the wrong target.He is a small editor, and only others can play with him, and he himself can never affect any situation.

It can be seen that this person's intelligence is all small intelligence.

"The book your lord is reading is about the cost of salt and iron in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties." Sima Yi glanced at Yang Xiu, "Your Majesty often says that if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government. Your lord must be going to be promoted. The next official first congratulates your lord." .”

The crowd who had been listening with their ears upright let out a chuckle, and Yang Xiu was stunned, his face turned blue and red, and he threw the book heavily on the desk with his hands.

With a snort, the corners of Sima Yi's eyes twitched. The book was already old, but it fell apart after such a fall, and the yellowed pages flew all over the place.

Sima Yi's eyes dimmed, and the next moment he swung his fist at Yang Xiu's head.

Yang Xiu didn't expect the book to be so vulnerable, and he didn't expect that Sima Yi, who looked weak and easy to bully, would make a move. He received a real punch immediately, and the corner of his mouth was split and bleeding.

"you!"

Before Yang Xiu could react, Sima Yi turned around and ran away after beating him. Yang Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, picked up an inkstone and chased him out.

Sima Yi was about to open the door of Zangshu Pavilion, but he didn't want the door to open by itself, and immediately threw him to the ground on his back.

Yang Xiu was still holding the inkstone, he was startled when he saw the person coming, and immediately knelt down and bowed his head.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and without looking at the civil servants who were hiding in the bookstore and poking their heads to watch the excitement, he bent down and picked up Sima Yi's collar: "What are you doing?"

This question was warmly asked, but it made people feel cold sweat. Cao Cao smiled, but his eyes were cold and piercing. He glanced at Yang Xiu, who was kneeling and anxious: "Yang Xiu, who beat you to death?" Such?"

"Yes..." Yang Xiu peeked at Sima Yi, not knowing what Cao Cao was thinking, so he replied truthfully, "It's him."

"Oh," Cao Cao nodded, and forced Sima Yi to raise his head with two fingers like pincers. "Your face is clean. It seems that there is no question of who will strike first. Come!"

A team of guards came in quickly outside the door, Cao Cao turned his head sideways: "Drag him out for me and beat him with twenty army sticks."

"...Yes." The guard looked at Cao Cao's face, but found no signs of lightening, so he took the order and carried the expressionless Sima Yi out.

All the ministers were startled by this battle and hurriedly dispersed.

This cannonball hit people's hearts thoroughly. The revision of history theory was Cao Pi's method to curry favor with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao didn't appreciate it and instead blamed Sima Yi. Cao Pi's status can be seen.

Yang Xiu lowered his head and showed a knowing smile where no one could see.
