Chapter 115: The Counterattack of the Jiangdong Family

Guan Ning retreated, but at this time Cao Rui had the urge to beat someone up.

When Guan Ning came to see Cao Rui, in addition to some praise, he mainly expressed one meaning, that is, Liaodong was willing to sell 30,000 war horses to the top Youzhou of Wei.

Youzhou was originally Cao Rui's territory, but now Gongsun Yuan actually wanted to sell Cao Rui to Youzhou war horses, which made Cao Rui feel ridiculous and even more unresentful. If it weren't for the two countries' wars and the fact that Guan Ning was a famous scholar in the world, maybe Cao Rui would really have to directly push Guan Ning out and behead him.

"Gongsun Yuan, you're too bullying! I'll definitely want you to look good in the future!" Cao Rui yelled angrily.

Next to him, Cao Shuang's face was also as gray as it was ugly. However, compared to Cao Rui, Cao Shuang was much calmer.

After a long time, Cao Shuang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Gongsun Yuan should be killed, but I think this horse should be bought! Now that the country is in its survival, everything should be led by resisting the enemy. With the war horse, I can train a large number of cavalry, at least against the Eastern Wu."

Cao Rui took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then he thought about it carefully and felt that this horse should be bought. Although Cao Rui's treasury is not very rich, it is not poor. Besides, if the country dies, it will be useless no matter how rich you have.

Cao Rui gritted his teeth viciously, and then said with a little clanging voice: "Okay, just buy it!"

...

Shangdang.

After Ma Qiu entered Huguan, he received an edict from Adou and immediately rode a fast horse back to Shangdang.

When Ma Qiu arrived at Shangdang, Adou had already arrived at Shangdang.

When Ma Qiu arrived at the lobby, a huge Bingzhou map was spread flat on the ground, next to it, Guo Huai was explaining to Adou.

"Your Majesty, please see, most of the defenders of Jizhou are concentrated in various counties and counties. In addition to Yecheng, there are many garrisons in Chaoge, Handan, Julu, Xindu, Bohai, Nanpi, Gaoyang, and Zhongshan." Guo Huai pointed to the map and said.

"What about the military camp in the military farm? After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao should have been in Daxing, Jizhou. When I was in Runan, there were hundreds of thousands of military farm soldiers in the entire Runan. There were much more fields in Jizhou than in Runan, and there should be more military farm soldiers!" A Dou asked.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that there were a lot of military farms in Jizhou back then, but most of them were abolished after Cao Pi ascended the throne. Now there are almost no military farms in Jizhou." Guo Huai answered.

"Among these cities, Yecheng should have the most defenders, right?" A Dou continued.

"What Your Majesty is said is that in addition to Yecheng, Nanpi, Bohai and Xindu are also important military places, and there are also many defenders. In addition, Leling is near the mouth of the Yellow River, so there are also many main garrisons." Guo Huai continued.

Adou waved to Ma Qiu next to him, signaling Ma Qiu to come over, and then pointed to the map and said, "Ma Qiu, look at the map of Hebei, east of Taihang, north of the Yellow River, and south of the Great Wall, there is a plain that is suitable for your cavalry to fight."

"What Your Majesty said is that this Hebei area is a plain and there is no big river to block it. Our cavalry can indeed be unobstructed."

"Ma Qiu, there is something to leave to you, but I will feel wronged." Adou continued.

"I will do my best! Please give me the order."

"Ma Qiu, this time I will let the Liangzhou cavalry under your command be broken into pieces, pretend to be a horse thief and scatter them all over Jizhou, looting villages and towns, robbing more and burning more, killing less, and disturbing Jizhou." A Dou continued.

"I obey the order, I don't know when Your Majesty will let me set off?" Ma Qiu agreed without any hesitation.

"Let your Liangzhou cavalry rest for a few days first. Thank you for your hard work in attacking Youzhou." A Dou said, and then said to Guo Huai: "Guo Huai, you should immediately gather people and sneak into all parts of Jizhou. After Ma Qiu led his troops into Jizhou, he would spread rumors and disturb the hearts of the people in Jizhou."

"I will obey the order!"

...

Shouchun.

Sima Yi and Lu Xun met again.

Every time Lu Xun saw Sima Yi, Sima Yi would bring a lot of surprise to Lu Xun. Before, when he was in Jingzhou, Sima Yi repeatedly blocked Lu Xun's progress. Later, when Lu Xun saw Sima Yi, Sima Yi had surrendered and offered Xuzhou. This time when Lu Xun saw Sima Yi, Sima Yi not only captured Qingzhou, but also controlled the navy.

In terms of power, although Lu Xun is not as good as an old fox like Sima Yi and Zhuge Jin, it does not mean that Lu Xun is an idiot.

Once Donglai Dagang was established, Lu Xun lost control of the navy. Judging from Sun Deng's attitude, the center of attacking Jizhou in the future will be placed in Qingzhou, which means that Sima Yi will also control a large number of army.

Generals of the Jiangdong Group were surprised to see something was wrong. People with a little power consciousness could see that there would be a new situation in Jiangdong's political arena. The xenophobia of the Jiangdong family is well known. At this time, officials of all sizes of the Eastern Wu had already begun to consider the issue of taking sides, but most people still took a wait-and-see attitude. After all, the war on the front line is still continuing, and the two factions in the court and China are still having little friction and have not really made very extraordinary actions. Some officials with calm personalities have not intervened in the fight.

Sun Deng slept very peacefully these days, and got three states in succession, and talents like Sima Yi defected to him. Sun Deng didn't have to worry about the dominance of the power in the court.

After thinking about it carefully, Sun Deng envied his cousin. A Dou seemed to have never been worried about the fact that his subordinates would do their best to shock the master.

"Oh..." Sun Deng sighed. Thinking about the reputation and achievements that A Dou had established in his teenage years, and thinking about what A Dou did in the past few decades, there is indeed no need to worry about any great achievements that shocked the Lord. What's more, the influence of Guan, Zhang and Zhao is so huge. With these three people, even if someone has the intention of being unjust, he can only hide it.

"Hey, Father, why haven't you found such sworn brothers? Otherwise, the child wouldn't have to be suspicious all day long!"

...

Gu Yong Mansion.

All ministers from Jiangdong, including Lu Xun, gathered here.

"This Sima Yi is very fast. Once the port is built in Donglai, the navy will fall into Sima Yi's hands." Kan Ze said.

"Boyan, what do you think?" Gu Yong asked.

"I have fought with Sima Yi for many years. Sima Yi is very scheming and must not be underestimated!" Lu Xun said.

"Now it seems that Your Majesty favors Sima Yi. It seems that he must be determined to hand over the navy to Sima Yi." Gu Yong sighed and said.

"It doesn't matter. The navy is full of our children from Jiangdong. Even if Sima Yi is the governor of the navy, we just need to send someone to send a message and ask them to give Sima Yi a lip service. Sima Yi has no choice. It's just that the army is in trouble." Lu Xun said.

"What I mean is that the army recruited by Huainan are not from Jiangdong. As for the Shanyue people, they are already in conflict with me Jiangdong people, and they may be controlled by Sima Yi soon."

"Oh, I think it's better to think about it before! At that time, Your Majesty was the only one in Jiangdong, so I could only rely on me. Now, Your Majesty's territory is too big, so we don't need us anymore!" I don't know who said this later.

"Boyan, I have a way." Gu Yong suddenly spoke.

"What's the solution?" everyone asked hurriedly.

"Since Your Majesty is preparing to let Sima Yi lead the troops, what's wrong with letting him be the Grand General of the Waterway!" Gu Yong said.

"How did that happen!"

"Absolutely not possible!"

"Mr. Gu Yong, how could you say that!"

The people in the hall were in chaos and expressed their opposition to what Gu Yong said.

"Everyone, calm down! Let Yuantan continue to talk." Lu Xun signaled everyone to calm down.

Gu Yong waited until everyone calmed down and continued, "Everyone, your Majesty's will is not something we can decide. Your Majesty favors Sima Yi, and everyone has seen that Sima Yi will also make a contribution to seizing the two prefectures of Qingxu. If we stop Sima Yi from being the Grand Commander of the Waterway, it would be equivalent to disobeying the holy will, and it would make me feel uncomfortable."

"Now that the war in Jizhou is about to begin, this battle will definitely not be resolved in a short time. In my opinion, it is possible at least three to five years or seven to eight years. So Sima Yi was the Grand Commander and commanding the three armies, and he had to stay on the front line of Qingzhou and was not allowed to come back!"

Lu Xun nodded suddenly and said, "I understand. Sima Yi is not in the capital. After a long time, Your Majesty will not think about him every day. Then we will say more about Sima Yi in front of His Majesty. Sima Yi is not by His Majesty's side and there is no way to refute it. In this way, Your Majesty and Sima Yi will definitely have a gap over time! Sima Yi is no longer favored by His Majesty, so it will be much easier!"

"Boyan is right!" Gu Yong nodded and then said, "Boyan, you can take this opportunity to stay in Shouchun. You and I will be together, and the court will have the upper hand in front of Zhuge Jin."

"But since this, Sima Yi has soldiers in his hands. If he wants to be unfavorable to me, it will be very easy!"

"I thought of this too. Sima Yi has soldiers in his hands, which is a threat to us. So we can find ways to keep Sima Yi's young wife and daughter in Shouchun, so Sima Yi dare not act rashly. Besides, the navy has always been managed by you Bo Yan, and you have many trust in it. We can select some people from it and take this opportunity to approach Sima Yi and gain Sima Yi's trust. If Sima Yi really has abnormal movements, we can use the trick!" Gu Yong continued.

Lu Xun nodded, frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Yuan Tan, this plan is feasible, what do you think?"

Everyone below looked at me, and I looked at you, but they did not object.
