Chapter 614    Each has its own plans (25)

The Tibetan barbarians left Qingxu and Xuzhou, and their confidant troops were all dispersed and reorganized by Cao Pi.

He was already a tiger without teeth and no longer had any threat to Cao Pi.

But he was the former overlord of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and his influence in Qingzhou is quite large!

He has been in Qingxu for many years, cultivated a group of his own trusted forces, checked and balanced forces from all sides, and formed a delicate balance.

After the Tibetan barbarians left, many of their confidants were still protected by him. Other forces were mixed together and they had to fight openly and secretly, fighting for power and profit.

After settling in Luoyang, on the surface, Tibetan tyrants were content with the status quo and were in line with the rules.

In fact, no one of his old subordinates obeyed each other, and often caused various disputes, so they had to mediate with him, his old boss.

It was just a piece of cake for the scheming Tibetan tyrants to mediate some disputes.

But Tibetan Ba ​​is not as simple as mediating disputes. He also wants to keep his cake in Qingxu to the greatest extent, and he also enjoys this sense of existence very much.

His old subordinates showed kindness to him and reciprocate his favor. He also attached great importance to and cared for these subordinates, and expressed his deepest miss the intimate relationship he had before.

The subordinates of the Tibetan Ba ​​were the most powerful, including Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Kang and others, and they had already followed him during the Yellow Turban period.

They have a very shallow foundation in Qingxu Prefectures and have almost divided most of the rights and interests of Tibetan tyrants.

They have always maintained a good relationship with the old boss of Zangba, and are very proud of Zangba, so Zangba’s mediation is very effective.

They also care very much about the off-topic words of Tibetan people, which brings them unlimited imagination space.

The reason why these old subordinates of the Tibetan Ba ​​are very concerned about his old boss's situation is that the current situation of the Tibetan Ba ​​is likely to be their tomorrow.

The Tibetan barbarian wanted to spend his old age in peace, but his old subordinates were very heartwarming and often sent people to send gifts to greet him. He was very moved and spared no effort to mediate disputes between various forces in Qingxu.

Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others were not really concerned about Zangba’s health, but about how to take over the power in his hands smoothly.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Qing Xubing immediately rioted and gave him a warning.

At that time, he was very angry!

Because he had just succeeded to the throne, he had to adopt a policy of appeasement as the main force due to the situation.

But Cao Pi had already made up his mind to solve the problem of warlord separatism in Qing and Xuzhou.

After Cao Pi discussed with Jia Xu and Sima Yi, the so-called snake cannot do without a head, so he decided to start with the Tibetan domineering first.

The first step for Cao Pi to solve the problem of separatist rule in Qingxu was to take advantage of the opportunity of attacking Wu from three groups, and let the Tibetan Ba ​​lead most of the elite troops of Qingxu army to follow Cao Xiu and Zhang Liao send troops to Dongpukou to attack Sun Quan.

This army is the only way to win the victory, and the Tibetan barbarian's performance is remarkable.

After the war, Cao Pi took the opportunity to be promoted to the position of Tibetan tyrant, but Cao Pi accepted the troops in his hands with a smile.

After the transfer of Tibetan dominance, although Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others were in charge of Qing and Xu provinces, their troops were reduced by half and their combat effectiveness was much worse.

Cao Pi was not in a hurry to solve the military power problem of Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others, but he had created good conditions and could not give up halfway.

If Cao Pi wanted to remove their military power, he had to first transfer their troops and transfer their troops without any obstacles. He needed to be famous and had to go to war with Jiangdong.

After the failure of the five routes to attack Shu, Cao Pi decided to send troops to attack Wu despite the opposition of some important officials.

And the location of the troops sent was set in Guangling. It was necessary to transfer their troops to his own command in a legitimate manner.

Although Guangling can also cross the river to attack Jiangdong, because the river is wide, it undoubtedly brought great difficulties to crossing the river to the Wei army, whose combat power is far inferior to that of Jiangdong.

Cao Pi insisted on doing this, but in fact he had his own purpose, and he could even say that he had done his homework.

This time he went on the expedition, he changed his past practice of bringing his confidant Sima Yi with him, and instead asked Sima Yi to stay in Xuchang.

In addition, Cao Pi also issued an order to transfer Sima Yi to the general of the Fu Army. He led 5,000 troops to the ministers and recorded the ministers' affairs.

Although Cao Pi and Sima Yi had a long-term plan, in order not to arouse other people's dissatisfaction, Sima Yi pretended to give in, and Cao Pi also made excuses:

"I have to keep up with the common affairs at night and day without any rest. This is not to be proud of, but to share my worries."

In fact, Sima Yi stayed in Xuchang and led 5,000 troops. Cao Pi had a different meaning.

Since Sima Yi took over Jiangdong Intelligence Network from Cheng Yu, he has made great achievements.

First, he instigated Emperor Jinzong to serve as the prefect of Qichun, and became the vanguard of attacking Jiangdong.

Unfortunately, the military talent of Jinzong was very average, and he was captured alive by He Qi, which was also a main excuse for Cao Pi to attack Wu this time.

Sima Yi used Jiangdong Intelligence Network and successfully supported Peng Qi to rebel this time, and persuaded the local families to stand by and watch. Peng Qi was able to successfully rebel.

In order to allow Peng Qi to successfully occupy Panyang County, Cao Pi hurriedly sent troops to Guangling, in order to pull Sun Quan's main force over so that Sima Yi can act calmly.

In fact, Sima Yi's first plan was very successful. Sun Quan transferred most of the troops to the Guangling front line, and his troops were in short supply.

Although Peng Qi's rebellion had already occurred, it did not attract enough attention from Sun Quan. It only sent Zhou Fang and Hu Zong to lead more than a thousand troops from the headquarters to quell the rebellion.

Because of the loss of the best period of quelling the rebellion, Hu Zong and Zhou Bree did not quell the rebellion quickly, and Peng Qi had become a climate because the local family did not send troops.

Peng Qi led his troops to capture Panyang City and several surrounding counties, with tens of thousands of people.

Sima Yi wrote to Peng Qi in the Royal Palace, asking him to fight steadily, just waiting for Cao Pi to gain the upper hand in Guangling, and the situation in Jiangdong was critical.

Sima Yi agreed that he quickly sent troops from Xuchang to Jiujiang, cooperated with Peng Qili to break through the Yangtze River defense line, and then threatened the capital of Sun Quan Wuchang.

After Cao Pi sent troops from Luoyang, he brought only more than 10,000 imperial guards, plus the local army he joined along, and before he arrived in Guangling, his troops were only tens of thousands.

Cao Pi claimed to be 300,000 troops from the Southern Expedition. Although it was a bit exaggerated, the number of people who transported food and grass was nearly 200,000.

With the troops transferred from Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others, Cao Pi's main combat army in Guangling had exceeded 100,000.

It would be very likely that Cao Pi would like to pacify Jiangdong and cross the Yangtze River.

Cao Pi wanted to transfer all the troops from Qing and Xu to attack Jiangdong, and asked Sun Guan and others to continue to preside over local government affairs. Their troops were all allocated to Cao Pi's confidant generals, and his intention to regain military power was very obvious.
