Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Zijian!

Cao Zhi!

Cao Pi was shocked and suddenly realized what he was doing.

Although Cao Ang is dead, Cao Zhi is still here.

Moreover, Cao Zhi's literary talent surpassed his own, and it was also known to everyone that Cao Cao liked Cao Zhi far more than him.

Why couldn't Cao Cao make Cao Zhi the prince instead of making him?

Cao Pi shuddered, and a sense of crisis immediately surged into his heart.

"Wen He's words make sense, Wen He's words make sense"

"Zijian is deeply loved by his father and is indeed a great threat. I can still take it lightly."

Cao Pi nodded in agreement repeatedly.

And the Wenhe he spoke of was the poisonous scholar Jia Xu.

After taking control of Chang'an, Cao Pi used his power to win over a large number of officials and generals in Guanlong.

Sima Yi took the initiative to come to get close to Jia Xu. He personally won over Xu Ze. Now these two people have become his confidants.

And they both have one thing in common, that is, they are disliked by Cao Ang.

"So from Wen He's point of view, what should I do to compete with Zijian and win this crown prince battle?"

Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu, as if he was asking for advice humbly.

Jia Xu stroked his white beard and said one word unhurriedly: filial piety!

"filial piety?"

Cao Pi was at a loss and couldn't understand.

Sima Yi rolled his eyes and immediately understood the meaning behind Jia Xu's words.

Without waiting for Jia Xu to explain, he said first:

"Mr. Zijian has extraordinary literary talents. He will definitely give full play to his advantages and work hard to show his literary talent to His Majesty, hoping to use his talents to win the throne."

"But for the emperor, talent has always been the main reason for choosing to be the prince."

"There are only two things the prince has to do, and that is to do things and perform filial piety."

Sima Yi added the word"doing things" on the basis of Jia Xu's

"The so-called doing things means doing practical things"

"Mr. Zijian likes to call friends, recite poems and compose poems, and do things that are illusory and have no practical use~"

"The Wei Dynasty is currently in a critical period. Reciting poems and writing poems is of no use to the country. Only hard work can benefit the country."

"Young Master, just keep your head down and work hard, and let Mr. Zijian recite poems and compose poems to his heart's content and show off his talents."

"And with His Majesty's pragmatic temperament, it is natural to see who is suitable to be the crown prince."

Hearing Sima Yi's analysis, Cao Pi benefited a lot and nodded repeatedly.

Sima Yi took a sip of tea and then said:

"In addition to doing practical things, all the prince has to do is to perform filial piety"

"I would like to ask, throughout the ages, which father does not like his son to be filial?"

"A filial son must also be a loyal son. Only such a son will make the king feel more at ease."

"I would like to ask, when Mr. Jian was enjoying the day and night, writing those flashy words, Mr. Master, you were immersed in political affairs, and at the same time you did not forget to greet His Majesty and show your filial piety before the Emperor."

"Not to mention your majesty, even if it were any emperor, they would all know that making you the prince is the wisest choice."

Hearing this analysis, Cao Pi was enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

Jia Xu stroked his white beard and glanced at Sima Yi, with a hint of approval between his eyebrows.

He seemed to have recognized in his heart that this young man The strength of counselors

"Bang!"

Cao Pi hit the table, a confident sneer appeared on Cao Pi's face

"I have two think tanks, Wen He and Zhong Da. What qualifications does Cao Zhi have to compete with me?"

"I understand what to do"

"Let my smart brother show off his talents to his fullest"

"I will concentrate on doing practical things and fulfill my filial piety to my father!"

…

Jingzhou, Yiling.

Seventy thousand Shu troops are still confronting the Jingzhou Army commanded by Guan Yu.

Shu army camp, Chinese army tent

"Lord Shu, our army has been blocked in Yiling for more than two months."

"Guan Yu's defense line was built to be impeccable and indestructible."

"I think that continuing to waste this time is not an option, so we should withdraw our troops and return to Shu as soon as possible."

Huang Zhong persuaded again with worry.

Liu Zhang frowned and his eyes were hesitant.

Ever since he led an army of 70,000 out of Shu upon Cao Cao's edict, things had been going very smoothly.

After the army left the Three Gorges, they joined several other counties including Pozigui. It can be said that it was smooth sailing.

Guan Yu's troops retreated all the way to the Yiling line.

As long as they passed through Yiling, the road ahead would be smooth and they would enter the hinterland of Jingzhou. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu novels Net!)

The military front could be pointed directly at Jiangling!

But when they reached Yiling, they hit the iron plate.

Guan Yu no longer retreated, and only commanded 40,000 Jingzhou troops. They held deep ditches and high bases and stood firm without fighting.

70,000 Shu After attacking for two months, the Shu army failed to advance even half a step forward.

As time went by, the originally strong morale of the Shu army was gradually exhausted.

Liu Zhang also became less and less confident.

"｀Shu Gong, we must not withdraw!"

"The current confrontation between the two armies has reached the most critical moment"

"The morale of our army is gradually depleting, and the Yan army is not much better. The morale and morale of our army are also declining."

"As long as we persist for another month, I am confident that we will be able to defeat Yiling and enter the hinterland of Jingzhou!"

Zhang Ren jumped up again and opposed Huang Quan's proposal to withdraw his troops.

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly:

"Justice, in one month, do you really have the confidence to break down the Yiling barrier?"

"How dare I speak nonsense!"

Zhang Renyi cupped his hands and said:[]

"But before that, I asked the Duke of Shu to send people to the four counties in Jingnan to persuade the Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke to lead the Wuxi Barbarians to the north to attack the Yan army's flank and rear."

"In this way, we can force Guan Yu to send troops south to defend the rear and put down the Wuxi barbarians (Li Hao)."

"Then the Yan army on the front line of Yiling will naturally be greatly weakened."

"If we take advantage of the situation and attack fiercely, we will surely break the Yiling barrier!"

Zhang Ren came up with a plan.

As soon as the plan came out, Huang Quan had nothing to say and couldn't help but fell silent.

Liu Zhang's eyes cleared away the clouds, and with a smile on his face, he praised:

"Okay, okay, justice, this is a great plan."

"Why didn't I think of using Wuxi barbarians to attack Guan Yu's flank and force him to deploy Yiling troops?"

"Well, according to your plan, immediately send an envoy to Wuling with a lot of money and gifts to induce Nashamoko to attack Guan Yu's rear!"

The plan was decided.

The words came to nothing.

The bodyguard hurried in and presented a piece of silk information.

"Report to Duke Shu, urgent report from Hebei!"

"Cao Cao has proclaimed himself emperor and committed regicide, abandoned Hebei, and fled west to Guanzhong!"

Liu Zhang suddenly changed his color...
