Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"Cao Pi has four friends."

The concierge was anxious, but Jia Xu became more and more calm. Seeing Dong Jue starting to clear away the dishes, Jia Xu knelt down again and began to hold a teacup and enjoy a slow and delicious meal while chatting:

"Chen Changwen has a clear and elegant outlook, Zhu Yan has a quick and thoughtful attitude, and Wu Jizhong has a profound knowledge."

"The three of them also have their own shortcomings. Chen Changwen likes to be silent, Zhu Yancai is prone to anger, and Wu Jizhong is good at flattery."

"Three people like this can be said to be complete if they combine Sima Zhongda who is good at planning and making changes."

Jia Xu smacked his lips and asked:

"It's a pity that Sima Zhongda went to Yongliang and was trapped. He should have been captured by General Zuo."

Dong Jue just laughed and didn't admit it at all:

"Taizhong is serious. The Yongliang community is more than a few hundred. It is difficult to control Han Sui and Ma Chao, or it is unknown whether they will be captured and married to a Qiang girl."

Nodding, Jia Xu continued: "Then Bento must be dead."

"In short, Cao Pi's subordinates Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo are all charming people. Chen Qun is difficult to control. He has to be controlled by Sima Yi."

"Under Cao Zhi, all the Ding brothers are mediocre. Handan Chun's writing can be said to be excellent, but the rest are not worthy of mention."

"Only Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu are good at literature than talent. He is very talented and clever, but he is very humble and contemptuous of others. He often falls into frivolousness."

Dong Jue understood this.

But it’s still inevitable to be curious:

The two brothers originally just went out of the city to worship their ancestors, but in the end they ended up fighting each other with swords.

Is this Yang Xiu really eloquent?

Over there, Jia Xu had already stood up again, obviously having an idea in mind:

"I think the emperor must have been aware of the changes outside the city, and the two young masters of the Cao family must have had no choice but to go south, so..."

"I'd like to trouble Gong to take it away and give this letter to...Ma Shoucheng."

Nodding, Dong Jue did not hesitate, took the letter and handed it over to Jia Xu, and planned to go back to find Jin Yi.

Here in Yecheng, Dong Jue is relatively unknown to the major surnames in Yecheng. The most familiar person with a well-known family name is Jin Yi, a wealthy businessman from Jingzhao.

This Jin Yi’s family background is also extremely simple. His father Jin Xuan was once the governor of Wuling County and later surrendered to his lord. His ancestors can be traced back to the assistant minister of Emperor Xiaozhao. The former Xiongnu slaughtered the crown prince Jin Rizhao. A true Han official, this is why Jin Yi himself often calls himself a Jingzhao native.

Also relying on contact with his lord, and with the help of Sichuan brocade, cane sugar, papermaking and other products under Xuande Gong's rule, Jin Yi also ran a wide-reaching industry in Yecheng, including Chaling Restaurant, which is good at cooking. .

Prime Minister Cao fell in love with and killed General Yunchang in Jingyu, while Deputy Prime Minister Cao fell in love with and killed his brother outside the city.

Among the only two chief ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang must have died. The only remaining prime minister, Shi Xinpi, quickly stabilized his position with the acquiescence of the emperor's platform, the assistants of Geng Ji, the prime minister, Sizhi Weihuang, and several other surnames. The situation in the city.

So Deputy Prime Minister Cao, who was listening to the guards' announcement outside the city, couldn't believe it for a moment:

"What do you mean the city gate is closed?"

Before the dusty guard could explain clearly, an elegant scribe on a horse in the distance laughed loudly:

"Now that the young master is in such a state of killing everyone, why do you need to show off?"

"Now there are six armies outside the city listening to your orders, and the gate back to the city has been closed. My son is at the end of his rope. How dare you not even tell the truth?"

Cao Pi was furious and retorted loudly:

"I'm not familiar with Liu, and I'm not jealous of Zijian. What can I say, and why do I need to be pretentious?"

Before the scolding came to fruition, Zhu Shuo beside Cao Pi came out angrily:

"What's there to say about Yang Dezu's nonsense? If you kill this monster, you can make it clear to the Marquis of Pingyuan!"

Before Cao Pi could give the order, Zhu Shuo led his guards to kill him.

In this way, Wu Zhi, who was fighting in the front, was able to retreat. After taking a breath, he quietly suggested to Cao Pi:

"Sir, the current situation is not as good as..."

Cao Pi suddenly had a headache, and when he recalled it, the reason for his current situation was very clear.

Today, he planned to use the opportunity of worshiping his ancestors to have a clear explanation with his brother, but he was caught off guard and Yang Xiu threw out the evidence that he privately purchased southern cane sugar, Shu brocade and famous paper.

I, the dignified Deputy Prime Minister of the Cao family, can’t I enjoy my enjoyment? What a shame that Yang Xiu accused him of being unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust in front of the ancestor of the Cao family. He even scolded him for nearly half a stick of incense without taking a breath, and then started a fight.

Cao Pi could feel that something was not going right, but the situation was beyond his control.

Yang Xiu had been scolding the person he was teasing without stopping, and he was angry. What was the attitude of the three people he valued?

The impatient Zhu Shuo drew the knife faster than he could speak, and Wu Zhi had been advising him to take action earlier since last year.

And what about Chen Qun? He has always kept silent on these matters and stayed out of it.

If Zhongda could be here...Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the end, it was Jianwu General Liu Ruo who led his troops to suppress both sides of the melee, and the war was stopped.

After Liu Ruo briefly explained the situation, Chen Qun, who had been hanging around for a long time behind Cao Pi, finally came online:

"For the current plan, the only two options are to attack the city and recapture Yecheng, or to go south with General Liu. However, the military situation is urgent at the moment. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

He said this, but the situation suddenly changed and Cao Pi couldn't help but feel angry. If he hadn't been in this conflict an hour ago...

"If Zhu Shuo hadn't taken action and caused more casualties to the disciples at the slightest disagreement, why would we have returned to the city as soon as possible..."

Yang Xiu, who was talking leisurely, was tugged on his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw Cao Zhi's sincere attitude:

"Grandmaster De should say less."

Seeing his brother bowing to him again, Cao Pi swallowed the words that were about to come to his throat, asking Liu Ruo to kill Yang Xiu first, and turned to ask Chen Qun:

"Why go south? Why not go north?"

"There are only two ways to go south. One is to go to Hebei, block Liu Bei from crossing the Yellow River so that he cannot enter Hebei, and find an opportunity to break through Mengjin Pass and enter Luoyang to cut off his retreat, but this is difficult."

"Or go to Yingchuan, join the Prime Minister's army, and fight Liu Guan in one battle."

"Going north is to abandon the Prime Minister, which is the worst choice."

The quick questions and answers between the two calmed Cao Pi's thoughts, and then he turned to ask Liu Ruo:

"General, do you have anything to teach me?"

Liu Ruo bowed his hands and said concisely: "The remaining food in the army is less than one month."

Cao Pi also understood the implicit meaning. If Yecheng cannot be recaptured within a month, this place will collapse.

As the deputy prime minister, he knew more about the population, armor, grain and grass in Yecheng than Liu Ruo, and if nothing unexpected happened, the news about Yecheng would spread to all directions, and both the battlefields of Henei and Shangdang would be affected and cause various changes.

In the vagueness, Cao Pi could feel that it was time to make a choice for the foundation created by his father's gamble at Guandu.

Everyone was looking at Deputy Prime Minister Cao, and the young master of the Cao family, who was less than 30 years old and had only experienced the disaster of Wancheng, struggled for a few times, and finally the order he came up with was spread here:

"Lead all the troops, pass through Xingyang and support Yingchuan, along the way... recruit grain and recruit people! Fight the bandits for the country!"
