Chapter 342: The Strategy of the Two Capitals
"General Cao's words are a bit exaggerated."
A Wenchen glanced at Cao Ren, looked around at all the civil and military ministers present, and said loudly: "Although Chen Du is located in the Central Plains where the soldiers must fight, but it is precisely because of this that the importance and prosperity of Chen Du are quietly explained, General Cao thinks that the capital of Chen is not good for defense, and said that Chen Du is a place that can be defended, then, I have a doubt, if the enemy army is under the city of Chen, then I don't know General Cao, where are your soldiers and horses, why let the enemy soldiers come to the city, if it really happens one day, Then a qiē is your sin! ”
"Hehe, could it be that General Cao did not hesitate to put the enemy army into Chen Bucheng in order to set the capital of Chang'an?!"
"Hmph, my Great Wei soldiers are prosperous, far away to the barbarian land in the north, Chen is located in the Central Plains, if one day if it is really attacked by the enemy soldiers, then, this official thinks it is also because of some people!"
Literati are the best at lip service, which even Cao Ren can't match, and the questioning one after another almost didn't say that he Cao Ren, holding military power, has a bad heart.
Thinking of this, Cao Ren's cold sweat came down all of a sudden, and he knelt down and hugged his fist towards Cao Cao and said: "The king clearly sees that the last general never thinks like this, and the last general is wholeheartedly for the king, for the sake of my Great Wei's thousand-year foundation!" ”
"Alright, get up, and you, all of you!"
The argument between the civil and military forces, the noisy Cao Cao can be said to be upset, and this tone is not very good, and the anger is so great that as long as he is not a fool, he can hear it.
Cao Cao is not the emperors who inherited the throne of the ancestors and became the Son of Heaven, but from the sea of corpses and blood, with a knife and a gun, he fought hard, and his prestige was not at all comparable to those emperors in later generations.
Whether it is Wenchen or the generals with a large army, they are very in awe of Cao Cao, because they know it very well. As long as Cao Cao wants to, then they will be able to go from today's people to tomorrow's people.
Taken by Cao Cao's might, the civil and military forces are no longer mocking each other. The originally noisy hall also became quiet all of a sudden, rubbing his brows, Cao Cao looked at the prime ministers of the three provinces and the six Shangshu who had been quiet, and said, "The generals support Chang'an, the capital of Dingdu. Wenchen supports the capital of Chendu, what do you think of this, is it better to set the capital of Chang'an, or the capital of Chendu? ”
"The ministers obey the king's holy judgment!"
As for what is the civil and military dispute, Xun Yu and others are like a mirror in their hearts, according to themselves, they know very well that no matter what, Chen is absolutely not suitable as the capital, and the Wei State will set up Chengdu City during the Warring States Period in the past. It was just a helpless move, if it weren't for the Qin army's soldiers, in order to avoid the Qin army's strong troops, how could Wei move its capital to the Central Plains, where there was almost no danger to defend.
However, it is clear that although the nine of them are the leaders of the civil officials and the upper class, they still have the imprint of civil officials, and they have no way to contradict the civil officials who also belong to the same camp.
Cao Cao probably understood the considerations in the hearts of the nine people. Although they secretly scolded that the nine people had become old fritters above the officialdom, they did so and gave Cao Cao a step down.
"Chang'an has a favorable location, but at this time, it is attacked by war from time to time. Although Chendu is prosperous, and it is located in the Central Plains, it extends in all directions, but it is precisely because of this that Chendu, which has no danger to defend, has encountered great changes. It is easy to be captured, because of the lonely view, it is better to do so, temporarily set Chen Du as the capital of my Great Wei, and wait until the world is unified in the future, when the four seas are leveled, and then Chang'an is the capital, the Chen capital is the eastern capital, what do you think? ”
Coughing slightly, Cao Cao thought about it and decided to come up with a compromise solution, that is, to set up two capitals, this method is undoubtedly the best in Cao Cao's opinion, after all, Chang'an is really not suitable as the capital at this time.
It is too much for a country's capital to be attacked by enemy troops in a row, even if Cao Cao doesn't care, but the people of the world care very much.
Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty, as long as its capital encounters war, then its dynasty's prestige and dominance over the world will suffer a huge blow, and the chaos in the world often begins from here, and it is like this once, if it is encountered continuously, then Cao Cao, the Wei State, will not be too long.
Temporarily set Chen Capital as the capital, wait until the world is unified in the future, and then change Chang'an to the capital, in Cao Cao's view, it is undoubtedly very good, it can be said that it is a good way to avoid the harm of the two capitals, so although Cao Cao is asking the civil and military ministers at the bottom, in fact, he has made up his mind in his heart, no matter whether there is any objection, he will continue to implement it like this.
Fortunately, the people who can survive peacefully in the officialdom account for the majority of the "old treacherous and cunning", although Cao Cao did not say it explicitly, but from his tone, they can still hear it.
Although they are a little dissatisfied, the ministers also know that Chen Du is indeed not very suitable as the capital, and this is not bad at this time, if they continue to persevere, in case Cao Cao is angry, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Cao Cao's policy of the two capitals was determined in the voice of the king's shengming, and Cao Cao, who determined the capital and the future court system of the Wei state, thought about it, looked at the civil and military ministers below, and found that there was nothing else.
Speaking of which, Hua Xin was still quite aggrieved and depressed in his heart, because he imagined that Cao Cao's valuing and rewarding himself because of the title of king did not happen, which made Hua Xin puzzled and depressed all the time.
For Hua Xin, he clearly saw hope, but he couldn't touch it, it was undoubtedly very uncomfortable, after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand why Hua Xin, after hearing that Cao Cao set up Chen Capital as the capital, after seeing Cao Cao's flashing eyes, he had a flash of inspiration, and he only thought he understood something.
Of course, if Cao Cao knew what Hua Xin was thinking, he would definitely feel very speechless, after all, the gaze he had just swept over was just subconscious, and Zhenxing didn't hint anything to Hua Xin.
However, it is obvious that Hua Xin will not know what Cao Cao thinks in his heart, but according to what he only thinks, he stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report!" (To be continued.) )
