Chapter 731: Cao Rui's Choice
"Weichen see Your Majesty!"
Cao Rui turned his head to look at Jiang Ji and asked, "Jiang Ji, you went and returned, what happened?" ”
Jiang Ji gritted his teeth and took out the letter from his arms: "Your Majesty...... This is a letter sent by Sima Yi! ”
"Sima Yi?" Cao Rui sat up from the bed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and said, "Quickly take the letter to me!" ”
Jiang Ji got up when he heard this, and trembled and handed the letter to Cao Rui.
Cao Rui took the letter, opened it and read it.
"Hahaha!" After reading the letter, Cao Rui suddenly burst out laughing.
Cao Rui's face turned red and said: "Okay, okay, if this plan is successful, my Great Wei will have a chance to defeat Shu!" ”
Jiang Ji's face turned pale when he saw this, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this plan hurts the peace of the heavens, you still need to think twice, during the Wang Mang period, the Yellow River was originally in the south, and suddenly swung north, which directly led to the collapse of Wang Mang's regime."
And the Yellow River south swing, the water into the Huaisi, will lead to the collapse of the entire Huaisi water system, the harm is greater than the north swing, dozens of hundreds of years difficult to recover, please think twice! ”
Cao Rui waved his hand and said: "The country will not be a country, so what's the matter with just a flood?" Besides, after moving north, the people will be taken away, and those places will be left to Shu as a headache. ”
Jiang Ji was surprised when he heard this: "Your Majesty has decided to move north?" ”
Cao Rui nodded and said: "What you said is right, there are no soldiers and horses available in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, if you force it to defend, it will only bury the soldiers and horses in vain, and then the soldiers and horses will be exhausted, and the land of Hebei will not be able to hold it."
It's just a few states, and it's really hard for me to give up, but Sima Yi's plan has strengthened my determination to move north, if the strategy can be successful, and I can annihilate Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun Chen Zhi and other generals, then it will not be difficult for my Great Wei to counterattack Shu. ”
"Okay!" Seeing that Cao Rui had made up his mind, Jiang Ji didn't say anything.
Cao Rui thought for a while and said to Jiang Ji: "A court meeting will be held tomorrow, and you will propose the matter of moving north, and you will be communicating with a few officials later." ”
"No!" Hearing this, Jiang Ji surrendered his orders and withdrew from the main hall.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Ji went to find the officials according to Cao Rui's instructions and told them about the northward move, so that the ministers would not oppose it early tomorrow.
Following.
In the main hall of the Luoyang Imperial Council.
"At today's court meeting, I want to tell you a big thing." Cao Rui looked at the ministers below and said, "Guan Yu is dead, I originally thought that Liu Chan had returned to Chang'an, and my Great Wei would be able to be at peace for a while."
But he didn't want Liu Chan to leave Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang had already led the army to capture Jiangxia a few days ago. Let's talk about it, what should we do now? ”
"What can I do? Didn't Jiangxia have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, why did they lose it? ”
"The north of Jiangxia is Yuzhou, surrounded by Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, these places are all plains, there is no danger to defend, and there is no garrison, Jiangxia is gone, then these states and counties can't hold it!"
"So what are you waiting for? Quickly resist Zhuge Liang, it's too late. ”
"Leading the troops? Where are the soldiers and horses available now! ”
The ministers in the palace also understood the consequences of Jiangxia's fall, and after listening to Cao Rui's words, they were all very panicked.
Seeing this, Cao Xiu thought that Cao Rui was planning to send troops to resist Zhuge Liang, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the army to resist Zhuge Liang!" ”
However, Cao Rui didn't have a chance Cao Xiu, and looked at Jiang Ji: "Jiang Ji, you have always been resourceful, but what is your strategy?" ”
When Jiang Ji heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Yuzhou and Yanzhou are all plains, and there are no soldiers and horses available.
Weichen thought that it was better to give up Yuzhou and the land of Yanzhou, move the imperial court to the north of the Yellow River, and rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to fight against Shu.
As for Yangzhou, the land of Xuzhou can be given to Jiangdong, on the one hand, it can enhance Jiangdong's strength and let them attract the attention of Shu, on the other hand, our Wei State can still border Jiangdong, and there will be opportunities to unite Jiangdong to continue to fight against Shu in the future. ”
"Moving north?" Cao Rui seemed to fall into deep thought when he heard this.
An official came out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Jiang Shi said is very true, and the only way to do this now is to move to Hebei." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The ministers seconded it!"
………………
For a time, about half of the officials in the palace agreed to move north, and in addition to the officials who passed the gas in advance by Jiang Ji, there were many other officials who took the initiative to agree.
Seeing this, Cao Xiu was furious, pointed at the ministers and scolded: "You ...... You are a group of cowards, how difficult it is for Taizu to start a business, not to mention the land of several states, it is an inch of land, and you can't let it. Your Majesty, let me lead the army to the expedition, I can't move north! ”
Cao Rui looked at Cao Xiu and asked, "Leading the army to go on the expedition, where are the soldiers and horses?" What kind of soldiers and horses are used? ”
"I ......" Cao Rui's question can ask Cao Xiu, because Wei has no extra soldiers and horses available, if you want to use troops, you can only mobilize the soldiers and horses in Tongguan, Luoyang, Xuchang and other places, but the soldiers and horses in these places cannot be easily used.
Seeing that Cao Xiu was speechless, Cao Rui waved his hand and said: "Jiang Ji is right, now that he is a confidant, he has to move to the north." The land south of the Yellow River can only be temporarily abandoned.
Zhong Aiqing thinks that after moving to the north, where should the national capital be located? ”
Jiang Ji arched his hand and said: "When Taizu was named the king of Wei, the capital of the country was Yecheng, the city of Yecheng was high and deep, and the palace was readily available, no less than the scale of Luoyang, and His Majesty could move the capital to Yecheng." ”
"Good!" Cao Rui nodded and ordered: "Since this is the case, move the capital to Yecheng." The land south of the Yellow River will be abandoned, right? Officials from all over the country were ordered to move young men and women from all over the country to Jizhou and Youzhou to live. Sima Yi commanded the soldiers and horses of Xuchang to resist Zhuge Liang and delay time.
In addition, he sent an envoy to Jiangdong to tell Sun Quan that after I gave up Yangzhou and Xuzhou, let him lead his troops to occupy it, and continue to keep our Great Wei bordering Eastern Wu, so as not to divide the territory and make it difficult to contact. ”
Cao Xiu listened to Cao Rui's words, and suddenly became anxious, strode forward to the front steps of the hall and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty can't, I think it was so difficult for Taizu to start a business back then, I can't give up, I implore Your Majesty to take back your life!" ”
Cao Rui waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade me anymore." ”
"I beg Your Majesty to retract your order, otherwise Weichen will not be able to kneel for a long time!"
Cao Rui said in a deep voice: "If I don't move north, my Great Wei will be in danger of losing the country." This is a helpless move, and after moving north, there is no chance of fighting back in the future. In the future, I will let you command the army, you should rise first! ”
Cao Xiu insisted: "The ancestral inheritance, not an inch of land, I implore Your Majesty to take back your life!" ”
Cao Rui's face turned cold when he saw this: "Hugh doesn't know what to do, if you want to kneel, kneel, you Aiqing quickly went to prepare for the relocation of the capital and the transfer of the people." ”
