    Before Lu Rui could enjoy the happiness of having an heir, he was summoned to the Wei Palace by Cao Cao.  "Bufan, this is the battle report from Xiliang. Chang'an Zhong Yao has led his troops to Tianshui." Cao Cao didn't waste any time this time and threw a bamboo slip directly to Lu Rui.  This was the first time Cao Cao had talked to Lu Rui like this. He didn't even have an opening statement, which shows how serious the matter was.  Things started a month ago. Not long after Lu Rui's baby was born, Cao Pi also received a secret report from Cao Cao. According to Cao Cao's wishes, Cao Pi decided to go to the Qiang people in person to meet the pigs so that he could feel their condition.  Secondly, it was to appease the foreign leader and let him understand the situation and not support Liu Xie.  "What are you thinking about, Second Young Master?" Jiang Juan came to the tower, looked at Cao Pi who was looking in the distance, and brought up a jug of wine.  "Prefect Jiang, don't call me Second Young Master anymore. Cao Pi is no longer a member of the Cao family." "Second Young Master, the title is just a nickname. Why should Second Young Master care about it? Since Second Young Master is no longer a member of the Cao family, why do you still care about Second Young Master?  Title? If you care, how can the second young master dare to say that he is not from the Cao family?" Jiang Juan smiled and handed the wine to Cao Pi.  "It's because Governor Jiang understands Pi and brings wine!" Cao Pi smiled slightly. Jiang Juan was right. Although he was expelled from the clan, his blood relatives are still there. Second Young Master, he must be the Second Young Master of the Cao family again!  "Prefect Jiang, are you at ease with She? King Wei is not in Tianshui and has no idea what's going on here. I'm afraid She can't wait any longer and is about to take action." Cao Pi shook his head. Cao Pi didn't dare to say no to Cao Cao's decision.  Well, after all, Cao Cao was far away in Xudu and didn't understand the situation here. According to Cao Pi, She didn't want to negotiate at all, but wanted to cede territory and become king. This was contrary to Cao Cao's philosophy and not the philosophy of the entire Han Dynasty.  Without common understanding, peace talks are impossible.  "I'm even more worried about Pig. I'm also a Qiang. To be honest, there is such a scheming person in the Qiang people and the people in the city are worried about me. I'm afraid the future of the tribe will be destroyed in the hands of this person." Jiang Yanyao  He shook his head, if an ambitious person like Zhi unified the Qiang people.  Then the Qiang people may be facing the danger of extinction. Jiang Taigong's words back then were to prevent the Qiang people from perishing. Although the Central Plains is good, it is a pity that it is too bloody.  "Prefect Jiang, since this is the case, Pi has decided to do something, please support the prefect!" Cao Pi nodded and vomited.  Since Jiang Juan had the same idea as himself, Cao Pi decided to risk it all.  "Second Young Master wants to?" "I want to do what Jing Ke did. Is Governor Jiang willing to help?" Cao Pi smiled slightly and glanced at Jiang Yan.  "This?" "Second Young Master, you must not do this!" Jiang Juan was knocked unconscious by Cao Pi's bodyguard before he could say a word.  "Prefect Jiang, of course Pi knows that you will not agree. But this is what Pi should do as a member of the Cao family." Cao Pi signaled his guards to remove Jiang Juan's token, and ordered his guards to lock Jiang Juan in prison.  In the middle, only one person left the city.  After leaving the city, Cao Pi went to meet She as Cao Cao's envoy, and also performed a feat of assassinating She. Unfortunately, She failed to let Cao Pi succeed.  Instead, Cao Pi was detained.  Instead of executing Cao Pi, Zhi raised the banner of supporting Cao Cao as emperor.  Sending troops to the Di tribe could break all the balances in Xiliang.  Some Qiang leaders who believed that Han was the most noble and sincerely submitted to the Han Dynasty rebelled. First, they surrounded the city with a large army and captured Tianshui County. Jiang Juan died in the battle.  Now the Tianshui area has fallen into the hands of the Qiang people. The banner of these Qiang people is to help the Han Dynasty!  On the other hand, it is very interesting. When Zhi sent troops to the Di tribe, some generals who supported Cao Cao actually let go of their defenses.  Let Zhi bypass the rear of the Di people and raid the Di people's stronghold. Zhi quickly completed the attack and became the new leader of the Di people. At the same time, he announced his lineage and re-established the Di kingdom.  "Father Zhong, this? Is everything in chaos?" Lu Rui was stunned when he saw the battle report. This pig is not ordinary powerful. Now that the situation has become like this, it is really difficult to deal with it.  .  Even his own army couldn't tell whether the pig was an enemy or a friend.  "I didn't expect that Zhi's plan turned out to be like this. It seems that the king really underestimated the aliens. I'm afraid Zhi's strategy is still higher than that of the lonely king." Cao Cao shook his head. He originally thought that Zhi just wanted to use Liu Xie, both internally and externally.  Collusion, plotting to gain independence.  I didn't expect Zhi's tricks to be so clever. As soon as he made a move, Cao Cao was in a dilemma.  ¡° First, She sent people to announce the benevolence of the Han Dynasty among the Qiang people. This was not to prepare for rebellion, but to gather all the pro-Han people within the Qiang people. This was just a pretext.  When everyone gathered together, Zhi suddenly changed his story and said that he supported Cao Cao. He disappeared and went to attack the Di tribe instead.  This made a group of pro-Han Qiang people angry, and they were completely taken for granted by Pig and Cao Cao.The monkey acted.  Of course, the pro-Han Qiang people would not miss this opportunity and decided to attack Cao Cao. They sent troops to occupy Tianshui County and the surrounding counties.  Cao Cao was originally fine, but because of Zhi's scheme, he became Zhi's accomplice. This is hard to explain.  "Bu Fan, these are the letters sent by the generals from all walks of life. Take a look, they all want to be promoted to the rank." Cao Cao pinched his forehead and made this move. Cao Cao's people thought they had smelled politics.  Aura, some generals who received the news early have written letters asking Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor.  Some people also punished the pro-Han officials and families under their rule, making Cao Cao dumbfounded.  "I didn't expect it. I, Cao Cao, was already disgusted with blood, but now I have to pick up the sword again." Cao Cao was very angry now. After what he did, those idiots under him started to have a celebration banquet.  Now, Cao Cao's rule has become unstable. In order to stabilize the political situation, Cao Cao is going to kill again.  "Father Zhong, we must proceed with caution in this matter. If we use force, we may lose the support of the people. We" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. If there is a large-scale killing under the rule, coupled with the addition of foreign enemies,  The invasion of Cao Wei will probably shake the foundation of Cao Wei's regime. Even if the country is established by then, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time.  "Bu Fan, do you think that anyone in the world will believe that this king is telling the world that he framed Yu Gu? The princes in the world are all people who want to strive for hegemony, and they will never let go of this opportunity. However, this king's  The means are not arbitrary, and force may not be enough to stabilize the political situation. As long as the king's successor is wise, the Cao family's foundation will not collapse!" Cao Cao glanced at Lu Rui.  Now this is the best way that Cao Cao can think of. He will make mistakes and replace Han with Cao in advance.  Lu Rui was blocked by Cao Cao's words. Indeed, if Cao Cao told the world now that pigs are not helping him, but are here to frame him, who would believe it?  Could it be that Pig is an idiot?  Is it false to send tens of thousands of troops to help Cao Cao attack the Di tribe?  Will others do it with real swords and guns?  Not to mention that others didn't believe it, Lu Rui thought about it for a while and found it extremely ridiculous.  Now Cao Cao is forced into a corner by Zhi. Cao Cao's middle and lower-level officers have already determined that Cao Cao will replace Han with Cao Cao. So if Cao Cao doesn't take action.  What his subordinates would think was also a blow to Cao Cao's prestige.  "Bufan, it is no longer possible for me to be a minister of the Han Dynasty. As for the foundation of the Cao family in the future, it will still require the efforts of Bufan and the Cao family's children. I have invited Bufan here just to hear Bufan's views on the current situation.  What's a good suggestion?" Cao Cao emphasized the word suggestion.  Just want to know what Lu Rui is thinking. It seems that Cao Cao has thought of some solutions, but they are still pending.  Lu Rui lowered his head and thought about the current situation. Now Cao Cao has been labeled as replacing Han with Cao Cao. This step must be continued and cannot be stopped.  The problem is to deal with the hidden dangers left by replacing Han with Cao, and how to deal with the original aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty.  In order not to endanger Cao Wei's regime.  Maintain stability!  A word that often appears in later generations is the problem Lu Rui wants to solve.  The only way to stop the aristocratic family from causing trouble is to give the aristocratic family greater benefits and power.  Now there are not many aristocratic families under Cao Cao's rule. The area around Yanzhou and Qingzhou is either the Cao family or the Xiahou family.  The area around Xuzhou consists of the Chen family and the Mi family. The Mi Zhu brothers followed Liu Bei and their power in Xuzhou has been weakened. Chen Deng was still obedient and kept weakening the strength of his clan to show his loyalty to Cao Cao.  The aristocratic families in Jiangdong and Jingzhou did not have deep roots in Sun Ce.  Under the repeated invasions of Sun Quan and Cao Cao, the family has become extremely weak, and there will be no big resistance even if Cao Cao replaces the Han Dynasty.  What's more, there is Cai Mao's support in Jingzhou, and there are more than 100,000 barbarian troops in Wumanxi.  The South shouldn't be a problem.  Yongzhou, Xiliang, and Sili are basically all aristocratic families.  Now all the threatening families in the Han Dynasty are in Hebei, and there is only one Sima family in Hanoi under Cao Cao's rule!  "Sima family? Father Zhong wants to use the prestige of the Sima family to appease the aristocratic families under our army?" After his own analysis, Lu Rui suddenly discovered that the situation in Cao Wei was very different from that in history. The four states in Hebei were no longer in the hands of Cao Wei  , the threat from the aristocratic family is also reduced.  As long as the Sima family can express its position, it will be much easier for the aristocratic families under Cao Cao's rule to appease them. As for those who are stubborn, they will have to use the butcher's knife.  "Yes, Bufan has also thought of it. Now the Sima family is the only chess piece that the king can use. But Sima Yi is always a thorn in his side, so the king has to be careful!" Lu Rui heard it from Cao Cao's tone.  Helplessness and melancholy.  If Cao Cao relies on the Sima family this time, then Cao Cao will not be able to easily attack the Sima family in the future. This is an obvious signal for Cao Cao to compromise. Compromise to the Sima family in exchange for the stability of the regime.  "Father Zhong, although this is a last resort, according to Rui's opinion, Sima Yi is not terrible. As long as the monarch is wise, Sima Yi can only be a capable minister." Lu Rui smiled slightly and understood.Xue, everything is easy to handle. Although Sima Yi is powerful, he has his own restraints and is confident that he will not let Sima Yi disrupt the government.  At worst, we will fight for life to see who lives longer.  "Yes, as long as my sons from the Cao family are wise, I have nothing to fear from Sima Yi. However, I have been suspicious all my life. This is both a shortcoming and an advantage. I know the hidden dangers but cannot remove them. I am unwilling to do so. I am old and powerful, and I have scruples.  There are too many. If he were young, Sima Yi would have already been dead." Cao Cao sighed, Sima Yi's problem is really difficult to solve, making people love and hate him.  "Does Bufan have any other suggestions?" "Father Zhong, my child is stupid, so I can only come up with this solution." "There's no need to blame yourself. As a father, think about this matter carefully. You can step back." See Lu Rui.  Without any good suggestions, Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Lu Rui to retreat. He would have to think more about this matter.  Outside the General¡¯s Mansion in Yecheng, after Liu Bei heard about Zhi¡¯s actions in Xiliang, he hurried from the plains to the General¡¯s Mansion in Yecheng and knelt outside the manor, waiting for Yuan Xi.  Liu Bei's kneeling caused Yuan Xi, who had just pacified the north, to leave the brigade and hurried back to Yecheng with his guards and Tian Feng.  "Your Majesty, please get up quickly. Why is your Majesty kneeling outside my general's residence?" Yuan Xi rode a fast horse back from the front line. Liu Bei had been kneeling here for three days and three nights.  "General, the traitor Cao is trying to replace the Han Dynasty with Cao Cao, and the Han Dynasty will perish. General, please allow me to send troops to Xudu to rescue Your Majesty!" When Liu Bei saw Yuan Xi, he immediately started crying. His shouting to the heavens and the earth was very touching, and the core of his words was  Just one, Cao Cao is going to replace the Han, so he asks Yuan Xi to send troops to fight against the thieves.  "Your Majesty, please hurry up. This general has discussed this matter with the military advisor. Please return to the plains to organize the army. After three months, this General and your Majesty's troops will divide into two groups and attack Xudu." Yuan Xi helped him up.  Liu Bei expressed his decision.  "The general is wise, be prepared to do your best!" After hearing Yuan Xi's answer, Liu Bei immediately stood up and held Yuan Xi's hands tightly.  "Come here, prepare a banquet. I will get drunk with Uncle Liu before we retire!" Yuan Xi smiled slightly and took Liu Bei into the house to have a banquet.  After the banquet, Yuan Xi sent Liu Bei out of the house and returned to his study.  "Military advisor, this foreign pig gave us a great gift. I didn't expect that the pig would actually pull this trick. If Cao Cao is in trouble, Liu Bei will not be easy either." Yuan Xi smiled slightly. Of course Yuan Xi understood Liu Bei's thoughts.  , If you want to take the opportunity to expand your strength, Yuan Xi will not let Liu Bei succeed.  "Don't worry, my lord, Feng has made arrangements for Liu Bei to send troops. As long as we keep all his capable generals in Yecheng, no matter how powerful Liu Bei is, his strength will be greatly reduced. Whether Liu Bei can escape Cao Cao's army then depends on God's will.  ." Under the mask, Tian Feng showed a sinister smile.  "Okay, I'll leave everything to the military advisor. I'm tired. I need to take a rest." "No!" "It hurts so much. Why is this happening? Am I already at my end?" After Tian Feng left, Yuan Xi covered his hands with his hands.  The heartache in my chest returned again.  I didn¡¯t expect that the illness I had when I was young would relapse. It had obviously been cured, so why did it recur?  !  PS: Thank you for your great support!  !  !  !
