Sima Yi's analysis was correct. No matter who becomes the crown prince, as long as he is a prince with imperial materials, he will more or less cut off the power of the people around him in order to ensure the unshakable power of the emperor.

In fact, Cao Pi was also doing this, so why didn’t Zhou Yang feel it?

Just about the tiger and leopard cavalry, he often mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally in front of Zhou Yang, using it as a hint.

Unless it is a mediocre leader like Liu Chan who is at the mercy of others, Zhou Yang and Empress Guo can truly control it, but they also have to face many pressures of external and internal troubles.

Moreover, Zhou Yang has always hoped that the dream of unifying the world can be realized in Cao Wei's hands.

In history, the Sima family took power and seized the throne according to their own style, which is a fact that Zhou Yang could no longer change.

Now that he has such a good opportunity in front of him, he has to persevere and fulfill his dream that Cao Cao and Cao Pi cannot accomplish is also his own dream.

So on the next day when he was recognizing his relatives, Zhou Yang decisively ordered the blood of Cao Pi and Cao Rui to merge.

At the same time, in order to prove the reliability of this method, he also separated the sons of some Cao family brothers who are not parents but have the same blood relationship.

In the end, Cao Pi finally showed joy and believed that Cao Rui was his son.

As for whether Concubine Zhen had an affair with Cao Zhi, and whether Cao Rui was the illegitimate son of the two of them, it was no longer important for Zhou Yang.

Because when he made this choice and put it into practice, he also made plans for his future.

If Cao Rui decides to cut off his power one day, or he will make up his mind to take revenge on his mother and kill him and Queen Guo, then he can also try his best to make use of today's affairs to prove that he is controlled by his blood-recognizing relatives, and Cao Rui's position as the crown prince is also promoted by him, hoping to get Cao Rui's forgiveness.

To take a step back, even if Cao Rui's desire for revenge is unshakable, he also made a retreat for himself as Sima Yi's arrangement and arrangements, and made all the worst plans for himself early.

So Zhou Yang can be said to be the most at ease at this time. The only thing that needs to be considered is how to explain to Queen Guo.

After proving that Cao Rui was Cao Pi's biological son, Cao Pi no longer had time to wait and wrote an edict on the spot without hesitation, and ordered Zhou Yang to announce the great event of the world's successor to establish a crown prince on the same day.

First, it can consolidate the hearts of the country and the people, and second, it can stabilize the ups and downs of the country.

Sure enough, after the news was announced to the world, Empress Guo immediately sent Zhang Ju to find Zhou Yang.

However, Zhou Yang had already expected it, but Sima Yi had already suggested that he was not suitable to meet Empress Guo now, so it would be better to talk about it later.

So he used the excuse to go to Mianchi to temporarily leave Luoyang.

So when Zhang Ju came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Yang, Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua had already embarked on the road to Mianchi.

Of course, Zhang Chunhua among them insisted on keeping up.

I saw Zhang Chunhua's natural appearance in the carriage, and even excitedly hoped that the Western Qiang army would go to war with the Wei army, thinking that there would be another good show to watch.

Zhou Yang has long been used to this, but he will never let this happen.

The real war should be left to conquer Wu and Shu and unify the sky, rather than killing and suppressing the border tribes.

"Although this time I went to Mianchi, I was related to the Western Qiang army, I would definitely not go to war with them." Zhou Yang smiled, "So Sister Chunhua should not hold too many expectations."

"Really?" Zhang Chunhua looked at Sima Yi, who nodded silently.

"Zhongda's suggestion is to go to Mianchi to organize a battle-capable army." Zhou Yang explained, "but it is not to resist the Western Qiang army, but to prevent the Shu side from invading the borders of our Great Wei."

"Zhuge Liang's purpose is to sneak out of Qishan to attack Ziwu Valley, Xigu, Shanggu and other border areas when we resisted the fierce attack of the Western Qiang army," Sima Yi said. "The Chang'an, which provides these border support, is the main output. In order to avoid taking into account the situation, Mianchi must become a transportation point for Chang'an, and then it will be the urban supply in Luoyang. With such endless transportation, Chang'an can provide resources for the border for a long time."

"Liangzhou can also focus on dealing with the Western Qiang army." Zhou Yang continued, "In this way, Zhuge Liang will not easily move troops to the border and waste war resources."

"It's too complicated." Zhang Chunhua could no longer listen, so he turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the car window.

"Mianchi's residence is a large part of Baibo thief who was born in the past." Zhou Yang ignored it and continued to the topic, "But agricultural development is far inferior to Luoyang, and it can only become a grain storage warehouse for Chang'an and Luoyang."

"The land of this place itself is not as fertile as Shandong and Henan, but as a transportation transfer station between Luoyang and Chang'an, or a food station in Hougang is an excellent place." Sima Yi said, "If you have to develop a land without potential into a major commercial and agricultural town, it will only be half the result with twice the effort, so what you lack the most now is a garrison."

"Does Zhongda mean that he intends to use the Baibo army in the past?" Zhou Yang asked in confusion.

"If this is the case, then wouldn't my brother agree to their promise to join the army that he was willing to join the army? "Sima Yi analyzed, "The people in the world do not like war more, and only a small number of them have to join the army to conquer their homes. If anyone can reduce the war, then who will undoubtedly become the object of support from the people."

Back then, Zhou Yang rescued more than 100,000 people in Luoyang who were abandoned by Dong Zhuo, most of whom were from Shanggui, and some were even children of officials or prominent families in Henan.

Later, under Zhou Yang's rule, he only experienced one forced battle.

That was Dong Zhuo's plan to continue to bring horror to the people of Luoyang, so he naturally received support and help from Liu Bei, Sun Jian and the people of Luoyang.

After decades of development and spread, coupled with the economic growth brought by the Handing Money House, Shang Gui, who should have died in the war in the past, became rich again like a dream.

This undoubtedly made Zhou Yang a god-like existence in their minds, and the villages and towns around Luoyang were also rumored to be rumored.

If he forcibly conquers the civilians and the small soldiers, his original glorious and beautiful image will inevitably be ruined in an instant.

Sima Yi continued to analyze: "Whether it is Shu Kingdom or Eastern Wu, we have our own detailed works, and the same is true in our Great Wei Kingdom. We know each other's internal information well, and the competition is only for who can grasp more thorough information. Therefore, Zhuge Liang of Shu Kingdom will never be unaware of the arrangements we made between Chang'an and Luoyang. This has also achieved our goal, so that they will not act rashly and can concentrate on dealing with the Western Qiang coalition forces."

Zhou Yang continued: "When the Western Qiang coalition forces saw that there was no movement in Shu, they would naturally not be stupid enough to fight with the Wei army and both sides were injured. They only allowed Shu to reap profits, which also gave us more bargaining chips for negotiations with the Qiang people."

Sima Yi said: "But we have to be careful of Zhuge Liang. As early as in Hanzhong, we have seen this person's power, so he is very likely to bet on the heavy bet of defeat, so that he can win the Western Qiang coalition's profit."

Zhou Yang said in horror: "Are you saying that Zhuge Liang might send his soldiers to the battlefield and die for nothing?"

Sima Yi said: "It is not a waste of death. Instead of letting us sit and watch Shu and Qiang do nothing, and being able to calmly solve the problems in front of us, it is better to kill a thousand enemies, damage one hundred of them, and use some of the casualties to exchange for the more severe four defeats in Wei State. In this way, Eastern Wu will also rebuild confidence in Shu State, thereby increasing greater pressure on the Wei State and other Wei fields."

Zhou Yang took a deep breath. He had read so much information about Zhuge Liang and his style of military use and administration.

All I know is that this wise man had never seen many great victory on the battlefield. Instead, he was more futile and was blocked by Sima Yi for many attacks, but he achieved his political goals.

Just as Zhuge Liang mentioned the "Autumn of Survival and Death" when he was in his role in the army.

Since the defeat in the Battle of Yiling and Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City, the conflict between Shu and the gentry has become more severe because of this.

Although the Eastern Wu side also tried to re-establish friendly diplomatic relations, facing Liu and Guan, the two bloody hatreds, can only restore mutually beneficial superficial friendship. It is impossible for Sun Quan to support Liu Bei at that time, to be said to have made every effort to help Liu Bei. Otherwise, how could Liu Bei achieve what he has achieved today?

So what Zhuge Liang urgently needed was a war, a focus on the fight against Cao Wei.

If you can win this way, it is naturally the best. Even if you are defeated, you can at least continue to point the finger at Cao Wei.

In addition, the three kingdoms are now in power, and what is competing between Wei and Shu is not the victory or defeat of several wars, but the entire national strength.

An obvious problem is that if Shu's national strength continues to be exhausted for a long time, it will definitely be farther and farther than Wei's powerful resource gap, and will eventually face the fate of a destruction of a country.

Therefore, regardless of success or failure, war has become Zhuge Liang's only choice.

Sima Yi's analysis is extremely likely, and history has proved this, because Zhou Yang does know that after Zhuge Liang was defeated in Qishan, he continued to use troops against Wei.

Until he died, his heir Jiang Wei continued to follow this policy.

"So the garrison we arranged in Mianchi is not just for Shu Kingdom to show it." Sima Yi said, "but it is a backup army that really intends to fight against Shu and Qiang at the same time."

"It's better for Brother Zhongda." Zhang Chunhua turned around with great interest, "If you have a fight, you can have a chance to watch. It seems that they are following the right way again!"
