Three Kingdoms: The Crown Prince of Wei, betrothed to Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

"Zhongda, something is bad..."

Looking for his boss Ma Yi again, Cao Pi informed him of the matter in detail without hiding anything.

"Zhongda quickly thought of a way, can't let Cao Chong succeed like this." Cao Pi was like an ant on a hot pot, bumping into each other.

"Gongzi, don't worry." Sima Yi soothed: "Don't let the tripper destroy, once you are caught again and stabbed in front of Si Kong, the prince is really doomed." "

"Is it possible to sit back and watch Cao Chong succeed?" Cao Pi hurriedly said, "That's the Western Liang Army!" My life is dead! "

Seeing that Ma Yunlu and Cao Chong had decided to marry, Cao Pi couldn't sit still at all.

First, the Bian family was degraded, Cao Chong and the Ma family became in-laws, and the successive blows made the gap between the two bigger and bigger, and even made Cao Pi fearful.

"Gongzi, strengthening yourself is the last word." Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

"How to grow?"

"Meritorious service!" Sima Yi continued: "Cao Chong can participate in the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan and thus make military merits, and Gongzi can also make meritorious contributions with the army. "

"And Gongzi has a close relationship with the second generation of the sect, and the merits they have made will also be counted on Gongzi's head."

"This year is going to march south to Jingzhou, why don't Gongzi take this opportunity to make meritorious achievements?"

Competing for heirs is nothing more than two paths.

Strengthen yourself and weaken your opponents.

Cao Chong has been working hard to strengthen himself, taking military merits in the Northern Expedition, winning over Zhang Liao, befriending Guo Jia and Xu Chu, winning the hearts of imperial doctors and wounded soldiers, and befriending Cai Yong's disciples, which has always expanded his influence.

Cao Pi's side was diametrically opposite, taking the path of weakening the other side, that is, attacking Cao Chong.

Cao Pi does not need to become stronger, what he wants is to make Cao Chong weaker, then it is equivalent to Cao Pi becoming stronger.

Therefore, he always wanted to step on Cao Chong, strike at Cao Chong's reputation, calculate Cao Chong, and weaken Cao Chong.

Cao Pi and Cao Chong chose different paths, in addition to personality reasons, but also because of the differences in their identities.

Cao Chong is neither a concubine nor the eldest son, and if he wants to rise to the top, he must show his excellence.

Only by showing the talent of crushing "210" can we get the effect of standing out.

And Cao Pi is the eldest son, he is the first heir to the throne, and he does not need to be sharp, he only needs to win steadily.

However, with the repeated failures of Cao Chong, Sima Yi advised Cao Pi to change the course and stop thinking about weakening Cao Chong, but to strengthen himself and make merit.

"It seems that this can only be the case, I must win it next time!" Cao Pi immediately made up his mind.

The thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), spring.

Liu Xie, the son of Tian, issued an edict to abolish the two-hundred-year-old system of three dukes, restore the chancellor system, and canonize Cao Cao as prime minister and lead the pastor of Jizhou.

In the same year, news came from the south.

Jiangdong once again sent troops to attack Jiangxia, and finally conquered, killing Huang Zu and slaughtering the city to vent his anger.

In the land of a county, only Xiakou is still in Liu Biao's hands.

After this matter spread to the north, it successfully attracted Cao Cao's attention.

This first prince of the world, who had just become prime minister, cast his eyes on the entire south, and finally fell on Jingzhou.

This also means that the prelude to the Battle of Chibi has quietly begun.

Prime Minister's House, school grounds.

Cao Chong gestured with a wooden stick, and Ma Yunlu concentrated on imitating in the back.

After the marriage was decided, Ma Yunlu went directly through the door and moved to live in Sikong Mansion, to be precise, it is now the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Before Ma Yunlu passed the door, Cai Yan first took Sun Shangxiang out of Yecheng and went to Yu County to accompany Mrs. Ding.

This also allowed Cao Chong not to face the Asura Field, and he could accept it when Sun Shangxiang returned.

"Finish the work!" Cao Chong turned to look at Ma Yunlu, "Have you learned?" "

"Almost." Ma Yunlu said brightly: "I didn't expect ah, you are so poor, there are so many things." "

"I just don't want to practice, otherwise there would be something wrong with Lu Bu and Guan Yu." Cao Chong stinked fart said.

"Just blow it." Ma Yunlu obviously did not believe it.

"Those who work hard rule people, those who work hard rule people, and the world is righteous!" Cao Chong spoke eloquently: "I, the laborer, play with the brain; You, laborer, make the strength. "

"I'm a kind of person who uses my brain, and I specialize in treating you people."

"Cut~" Ma Yunlu held a long knife and pointed at Cao Chong with a smile, "Just you still treat me?" I think it's been treated by me, right? "

"You look back."

"I'm not fooled." Ma Yunlu thought Cao Chong was lying to him.

"Young lady, please don't do this, so as not to misunderstand in the next step."

Ma Yunlu was taken aback, and quickly looked back to find Xu Yi and Dian Man standing behind her.

"Do you believe it now?" Cao Chong said proudly: "If you can fight again, I will have a trap camp guard." "

Ma Yunlu was embarrassed and did not open his mouth to refute again.

"No problem." Cao Chong waved his hand and said, "We're joking, the two generals don't have to worry." "

The two hugged their fists and bowed and retreated.

"By the way, this set of knife techniques is quite powerful, where did you learn it?"

"This General Zhang Liao's sword method is also." Cao Chong said with a smile: "I have the ability to never forget, I will know the skills of many martial generals under Awen, and you can learn as much as you like in the future." "

"I didn't marry you in vain." Ma Yunlu said happily.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came.

"Chong Gongzi, the prime minister has an order, and the main hall is deliberating."

"Got it." Cao Chong agreed, looked at Ma Yunlu and ordered: "You practice by yourself, I have to go to the discussion, and when I am tired, go back to the courtyard to rest, or go to accompany my mother." "

"Hmm." Ma Yunlu nodded in agreement.

Main hall.

When Cao Chong arrived, the people had already arrived, and they sat down at the table, and Dianman and Xu Yi stood behind him like an iron tower, not leaving an inch.

The people present, except for Cao Cao, Cao Chong had this card.

"People have arrived, start." Cao Cao immediately ordered.

Xun Yu refused to get up and said:

"Lord, the Xuanwu Pool has been excavated, and after the Thaw of the Spring Zhanghe River, water is diverted through the Xuanwu Pool, and now it is full, and the water army drill can be launched."

"Forbidden."

"The end is coming."

"This matter is left to you, you will train the water army." Cao Cao ordered.

"Oh."

The power to lead troops is not thought of by military generals, but the power to lead troops and train troops, Cao Cao will still give appropriately.

Cao Chong below was stunned after hearing this, this was the first time he had heard about Xuanwu Pond.

In fact, it is not surprising, after all, Cao Cao is the father, Cao Chong is the son, and there is no need for Cao Cao to report everything to Cao Chong.

"Awen." Cao Chong immediately raised his hand and said, "Xuanwu Chi can't train a real water army. "

"Oh? Why? "

His own Lin Er knew astronomy and geography, and seawater could be made into fresh water, and Cao Cao naturally would not ignore Cao Chong's opinions.

"Swimming in a bath is the same thing as swimming in a river?" Cao Chong continued: "The Xuanwu Pool is manually excavated, the depth inside the pool is the same, there is no flow rate, and the hydrology remains unchanged throughout the year, which is equivalent to a pool of stagnant water. "

"The water army that came out of the Xuanwu Pond arrived on the real big river, the river was rippling and flowing fast, and the soldiers would definitely not be able to adapt, resulting in seasickness."

"It makes sense!" Cao Cao immediately paid attention, "Is there a way for Lin'er?" "

"Sea." Cao Chong immediately said: "Hebei is bordered by the Bohai Sea, and if the soldiers can adapt to the waves, they can naturally easily control the rivers. "

In Cao Chong's view, the water army is too backward, and it is completely possible to skip it directly and go to the navy.

"Gongzi's idea is very good, but unfortunately it doesn't work." One person suddenly spoke during the banquet.

"Ji Jue?" Cao Cao was puzzled: "I think what Chong Er said makes sense, why not?" "

"It turned out to be Duke Cui." Cao Chong hugged his fist and saluted, "Please also point out, I would like to hear about it." "

The person who opened his mouth was Cui Yan, a famous scholar in Hebei, who was born in the Qinghe Cui clan, a first-class gate valve family.

"Qinghe County is close to the sea, I know a little about this." Cui Yan spoke: "Chong Gongzi's idea is good, the reason why it doesn't work, the key point is the ship. "

"The wind and waves at sea are far more terrifying than the river, and a single wave can smash a small boat, so it takes a large ship to sail."

"And the North... You can't build big ships. "

Cao Chong was stunned when he heard this, he never expected that the problem was on the ship, or that the hardware could not be satisfied.

In fact, it is normal, the development of things depends on the environment.

South ship and north horse, according to local conditions.

The largest river in the north is undoubtedly the Yellow River, but the Yellow River is not navigable.

Due to the silt at the bottom of the river, the depth is not enough, and the entry of large ships is the result of running aground.

Because the north does not need large ships at all, it has no relevant construction experience.

In such an environment, the scientific and technological tree of the big ship in the north has not developed at all.

The barrenness of shipbuilding skills in the north is like the lack of equestrianism in the south.

Black tent boats, bamboo rafts, and leather rafts can meet the civilian needs of the northern people, and medium-sized ships can meet the needs of official and military purposes.

Before the advent of the Grand Canal, the mainstream transportation in the north was still by land.

Since it cannot be used, there will naturally be no development.

Just like the people south of the Yangtze River today, it is difficult to pick out a person who can ride a horse out of a hundred people.

The southern expedition is imminent, and it is obviously impossible to master the process of building large ships in a short period of time.

The most direct way is to go to the south to rob, but this kind of talent is in the south, and it is definitely controlled by various princes.

What's more, this is only a big ship, to sail in the sea, a big ship is not necessarily good, a more advanced sea ship is needed, and the north is even more impossible.

"One more point." Cui Yan continued: "There are no excellent sailors in the North, and even less sailors who can sail. "

Cao Chong's heart sank when he heard this, and this was even more fatal.

Eight out of ten in the south cannot ride a horse, and eight out of ten in the north have seasickness. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

In this case, even if a large ship can be built, how to sail is a big problem.

"Cui Gong is really insightful, to the point, it is my whims." Cao Chong bowed his hand.

Cui Yan stroked his beard and smiled, "I heard that Gongzi is smart, dare to think that ordinary people can't think of it, and now it's very difficult." "

"Gongzi's method is good, but the shortcomings in terms of facilities cannot be blamed on Gongzi."

"This water army is really difficult to get." Cao Cao was also embarrassed, "If you follow what Cui Gong said, it is better to go from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult." "

"Start acclimatizing from the Xuanwu Pond, and then enter the river to acclimatize." Cao Cao spoke: "Do not seek to train a mature water army in a short period of time, but at least ensure that the soldiers do not get seasick." "

"The last general is in command!" Yu Ban hugged his fist and agreed.

Speaking of which, in the end, you have to use the Xuanwu Pool to practice the water army.

From easy to difficult, let the soldiers have an adaptation process.

Come up and sail directly, the difficulty of hell, I am afraid that the pawn will not be able to bear it.

After the discussion of the matter of the water army, several people sat down one after another, and the discussion continued.........

It was Guo Jia who got up this time, and he spoke: "Lord, there is news from the south that Jiangdong has defeated Jiangxia, killed Huang Zu, and has the heart to covet Jingzhou. "

"Sun Quan Xiaoer, not very old, not small in ambition." Cao Cao snorted coldly: "I have a crush on this place in Jingzhou, how can I allow Sun Quan to get a piece of the pie?" "

As early as last year, before the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, Cao Cao had already been worried about Jingzhou.

Even Sun Shangxiang's marriage to Cao Chong had this consideration.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao first went to solve Wuhuan in the north, and before he could make a move on Jingzhou, Sun Quan would have to strike first.

"Master." Xun Yu immediately spoke, "Jiang Dong obviously wants to occupy Jingzhou in advance and achieve the goal of completely occupying the Yangtze River Heavenly Graben. "

"The Jiangdong Water Army should not be underestimated." Cheng Yu followed closely and spoke, "Jiang Dong obviously wants to use the Yangtze River to cooperate with the water army to create a defensive line. "

"Sun Quan tried to divide the southern kingdom and resist the pace of the lord going south." Jia Xu concluded.

In a few words, the strategist Tiantuan analyzed Sun Quan's intentions.

"Lord, Jiangxia is the gateway to Jingzhou." Guo Jia spoke, "If you don't interfere, Jiangdong may drive straight in. "

"Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are both young and handsome, and Liu Biao is definitely not an opponent."

"Wen Ruo." Cao Cao realized the seriousness of the matter, looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Right now..."

"Not enough." Xun Yu said without hesitation: "The northern expedition to Wuhuan cost a lot, and the harvest of grain and grass last autumn was not enough to support the army's southern expedition, at least after this year's autumn harvest." "

In short, one year's harvest was not enough to supply the army, and at least two years of grain and grass were enough for Cao Cao to launch his southern expedition.

Previously, the northern expedition to Wuhuan had consumed too much, which could be regarded as consuming Cao Cao's heritage.

A year before the Northern Campaign against Wuhuan, Cao Cao had just attacked Hezhou.

The year before, it was just laid down in Hebei...

Three years forward, the war never stopped, and Cao Cao kept fighting.

Naturally, there is definitely not enough surplus food.

For a while, there was silence above the hall.

He could not watch Jingzhou fall into the hands of Jiangdong, if so, Jiangdong grew stronger and dominated the Yangtze River, and Cao Cao would be blocked by the Yangtze River defense line if he wanted to go south.

Cao Chong did not panic at all, and spoke:

"Awen, you don't have to worry too much."

"Does Lin'er have a plan?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"There is no magic plan, but we can think about it from another angle."

"What angle?"

"Suppose, right now, Koto is our ally." Cao Chong said half of his words and did not continue to speak.

The people here are smart people, and there are definitely people who can understand the meaning.

"Gongzi is wise!"

"Gongzi great wisdom!"

"Admire and admire!"

"Wonderful!"

Except for Xun Yu, the other four spoke almost at the same time.

"Hahaha~" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw this, "Lin Er made a little dial, how many of you will get the hang of it?" "

"Hey!" Guo Jia joked: "Lord, Chong Gongzi is extremely wise, as we all know, you restrain a little, and you are deliberating." "

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed.

"Say it." Cao Cao raised his hand to signal.

Guo Jiaxian spoke: "According to the meaning of Chong Gongzi, Jiangdong is regarded as our ally, then Jiangdong's attack on Jingzhou can actually be regarded as helping us weaken Jingzhou." "

"Not only that." Xun 2.4 followed and spoke, "Jiangdong attacked Jiangxia, killed Huang Zu and slaughtered the city, which can be seen as helping us attract firepower." "

"The Jingzhou side must have drawn together forces and went to Jiangxia to resist Jiangdong's attack." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, "In this way, the rest of Jingzhou must be empty. "

"Since it is empty, it can be taken advantage of." Jia Xuan said: "With Jiangdong involving Jingzhou's energy, our army can easily open a breakthrough by attacking from Wancheng to the south." "

If Jiangdong is regarded as an enemy, then Jiangdong is grabbing territory, grabbing food from the mouth of the tiger, and wants to occupy Jingzhou in advance.

Treating Jiangdong as an "ally", then Jiangdong is weakening Jingzhou, attracting Jingzhou's main army, and creating opportunities for the Cao army to launch an attack.

Looking at the problem from a different angle will give you completely different results.

As Cao Chong dialed, Wumou explained, and everyone suddenly felt that the clouds were clear after hearing it.

"Or Lin Er has a way." Cao Cao was very happy, looked at Guo Jia and joked: "Fengxiao you military master sacrifice wine, I think it is better to abdicate early and make way for Xian." "

"That's not okay, just count on this bit of money to support your family."

"Hahaha~"

Guo Jia's answer made everyone laugh again, and the big guys were in a good mood, except for Cao Pi and his group.

Previously the "navy" did not work, and the group is still gloating.

Turning around, Cao Chong once again offered a strategy to see results, and this group of people couldn't wait to sew Cao Chong's mouth shut.

Cao Cao pressed his hand, and the hall quieted down, "In this way, if we send a vanguard army, we may be able to kill Jingzhou." "

Jiangdong contained Jingzhou's energy and troops, and the sudden attack of the Cao army was indeed promising.

And there is not enough food and grass for the army to dispatch, but it is still no problem to burden a vanguard.

"The last general please fight!"

"The last general please fight!"

“......"

All the martial generals stood up, wanting to seize this rare opportunity.

"Father, the child is willing to lead the army to battle!"
