Chapter 100 Tom Cao Pi
"There are many talented people under Cao's command." Kong Ming shook his head, his words full of undisguised envy.
Liu Bei also remembered the talented man who recommended Kong Ming to him at this time:
"I wonder how Yuan Zhi is doing now?"
"I remember Guangyuan went to Cao's camp with Yuan Zhi?" Pang Tong asked in a low voice.
Shi Tao, whose courtesy name was Guangyuan, had frequent contacts with Kong Ming and Pang Tong when he was in Jingzhou, and was also a close friend of Xu Shu.
"Guangyuan is a righteous man." Kong Ming was also depressed when he thought of his old friend.
But he immediately cheered up: "The talents of the two are no less than Liu Ziyang, and I think they should be able to be used in Xudu."
"That may not be the case!" Jian Yong interrupted.
"When Yongliang was on the road before, an envoy of Cao came from Xudu. I inquired about Mr. Yuanzhi's whereabouts in the name of a relative or friend."
"The envoy spoke contemptuously, calling Yuanzhi and Shitao "disciplined doctors", which was overrated."
"This..." Kongming and Pang Tong looked at each other. The two old friends knew each other's talents very well. After looking at each other, they had a plan in mind.
[At this time, Cao Pi didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He asked righteously:
He surrendered and you asked me to beat him. Isn't it tarnishing my reputation? Why don't I help Sun Quan to fight Liu Bei?
Liu Ye suppressed the urge to kick Cao Pi in the face and patiently explained:
Yizhou's natural barrier is still far away. If we send troops there, Liu Bei will withdraw directly. What can you do?
Now Liu Bei has lost his mind for revenge. If we fight Jiangdong, Liu Bei will definitely come up and stab us instead of helping Sun Quan to resist the enemy. This is a great opportunity!
The reason is sufficient and the prospects are good, but unfortunately, "the emperor does not listen" and "appoints Quan as the King of Wu".
Liu Ye still wanted to do something, so he jumped out to object:
If he is made the King of Wu, the people of Jiangdong will naturally become the people of Sun Quan, and then we will not be justified in attacking him.
It is better to make him a general, and wait for Sun Quan to do something beyond the etiquette, and then we can attack him.
Although it makes sense, "the emperor doesn't listen", there is nothing we can do. 】
"Hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed:
"The thief Cao actually gave birth to a Duke Xiang of Song?"
Liu Bei temporarily suppressed Xu Shu, who he was thinking about, and planned to have a good discussion with Kong Ming in the evening.
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, he shook his head and said, "Although Duke Xiang of Song is pedantic, he is also kind and righteous."
"Cao Pi just likes fame."
Pang Tong even felt a little sympathy:
"He does not accept wise advice, but is tyrannical and stubborn."
"Such a monarch has caused Liu Ziyang's talent to become a laughing stock for all ages."
Everyone then understood why Guangmu said that Liu Ye became famous because his strategy was not adopted.
Jian Yong also wanted to laugh:
"After Hanzhong, Liu Ziyang may think that Cao thief is not his wise monarch, so he worked hard to perform under Cao Pi."
"If he can help Cao Wei unify China, he may become a famous minister for all ages."
Zhang Fei said, "Unexpectedly, Cao Pi is indeed the offspring of Cao thief!"
Everyone laughed in the hall.
[The reason why Liu Bei was evaluated as gambling with fate in the Battle of Yiling was because he was dragging Sun Wu to perish together, thereby luring Cao Wei to take action.
As long as Cao Wei takes action, Sun Wu will be attacked from all sides and trapped inside and outside, and will certainly be unable to resist.
In Liu Bei's script, Sun Quan must bow his head and seek peace again in order to survive.
Cao Wei's troops pressed Jiangdong, and at that time, the survival of Sun Wu would depend on the choice of Emperor Zhaolie.
This script is a typical step-by-step approach, full of many uncertainties.
Liu Ye understood that Liu Bei was gambling, so his advice was to attack Jiangling directly.
Taking Jiangling can not only prevent Liu Bei from taking advantage of the chaos to get involved in Jiangdong, but also use Jiangling as a springboard to penetrate the heart of Jiangdong.
Liu Ye's plan is very feasible. If Cao Pi adopts it, the situation of the Three Kingdoms will most likely end decades earlier.
Liu Bei's plan is a gamble at the end of his life, because Cao Wei has usurped the Han Dynasty at this time, and the two sides are essentially at odds.
Cao Wei will neither open up the situation for Shu Han nor make wedding clothes for Shu Han, and after the demise of Sun Wu, Shu Han will find it even more difficult to resist Cao Wei.
But Liu Bei would never have thought that Cao Cao's successor would be like this. This bet was really a wink to the blind.
This probably also answers the previous question. What was Liu Bei waiting for after a stalemate of half a year?
He was delaying time to the maximum extent so that Cao Wei could send troops, but Lu Xun's precise attack ended the Battle of Yiling ahead of time, cutting off all Liu Bei's ideas. 】
"This strategy is too risky!" Kong Ming shook his head.
"This is the only strategy to restore the Han Dynasty!" Pang Tong disagreed.
Kong Ming glanced at him sideways. You are actually playing a counter-play with me, right? Let me see what you say.
"Please let Shi Yuan speak!"
Pang Tong was not afraid:
"The two cities of Jiangling are natural barriers built by General Yunchang. It is difficult to go down Jiangling even if you leave Yiling."
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said nothing. In his heart, he thought of Mi Fang. If there had been no such rebellion, ε=(ο`*))) Alas!
Pang Tong continued: "When Cao Cao occupied Jiangling, Lord Sun did not mention it, but General Guan claimed it as the lifeline of Jiangdong, as if the rebellion in Xiangfan was forced. Shameless!"
"Why didn't Lord Sun tell Cao Cao that Hefei is the gateway to Jiangdong and ask Cao Cao to give up Hefei? So he just took advantage of the alliance to launch a sneak attack."
"Yizhou has no main roads, so it is inconvenient to send troops. For the lord, if Jiangling is available, Yizhou's resources can be transported downstream to Jingzhou, which is a key place to restore the Han Dynasty."
"After the rebellion in Jiangdong, two cities were occupied, and it is impossible for Yizhou's troops to capture them. It is better to lure Cao Cao into the game and seek Jiangling City in the chaos."
"Otherwise, even if they can capture the pass, Jiangdong will be in danger of occupying Jiangling. If Cao Wei weakens, Jiangdong will repeatedly control the Shu Han."
"If you win Jiangling, Yizhou will live. If you don't win Jiangling, Yizhou will die slowly."
Kong Ming frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "This strategy is tantamount to trying to feed a tiger."
Pang Tong sneered: "I saw this picture and understood how important Jiangling is to Yizhou. Kong Ming, with your talents, couldn't you understand during the battle of Yiling?"
"You just think that the restoration of the Han Dynasty is the most important thing and you cannot lose your allies. However, a cunning and rebellious person like Sun Hou will definitely rebel. Since the left and right are bound to rebel, it is better to grasp his lifeline first and make him surrender."
Kong Ming stopped talking. Of course he understood, but he also understood that it was difficult to control the Cao thieves by one party alone.
Could it be that he really tolerated Jiang Dong too much? Kong Ming was a little unsure.
"And in this light curtain, since Marquis Sun has won the victory at Yiling, he will not fulfill the promise of surrender."
Pang Tong pointed at the light curtain and vowed.
[After the Battle of Yiling, Cao Pi polished his jade charms and re-embroidered his emperor's robes, preparing to wait for Sun Quan to surrender as promised.
At this time, Cao Pi was like a young man who was about to marry a well-known young lady from all over the country. He was excited and nervous. This was something that even his father had not accomplished!
I, Cao Pi, will never be weaker than Cao Cao in my life, and I will finally honor the old Cao family!
But poor Cao Pi was completely manipulated by Sun Quan.
After the victory at Yiling, Sun Quan took Jiang Biao to the toilet.
In view of the previous congratulations from the ministers, Liu Ye was right, the atmosphere was heightened to this point, and Sun Quan stopped cooperating.
At this moment, Cao Pi couldn't help but look like an innocent boy who was toyed with by a romantic woman and then abandoned. Anger took over his heart!
send troops! send troops! He will make Sun Quan, a capricious villain, pay the price! 】
