Chapter 98 Kong Ming's upper position

Lu Su knew that Liu Bei was taking care of his face. He has only been the prime minister for four months, and now he is so sick that it is not appropriate for Liu Bei to set up another prime minister for a while. Only then did he come up with such a compromise method, which not only took care of his face, but also took into account the handling of court affairs.

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words. The two candidates were still relatively appropriate, but then he frowned and said, "The Yuan sigh is a lieutenant, and Kong Ming is Sima, one is Jiuqing, and the other is San Gong. If the two of them are the prime ministers, who will take over the original positions?

Lu Su thought about it for a time, and finally said, "The position of Ting Wei is in charge of the criminal law. The Han law was compiled by Zhuge Kongming and Qin Zizhi, and can be taken over by his people. As for Da Situ," Lu Su also paused a little at this point, and finally cautiously said, "The position of Da Situ can be taken over by Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu."

"Zi Jing's discussion is very good!" Liu Bei nodded and agreed. Although Situ is the third prince, he has relatively no real power, and it's okay to let Xu Jing take it. Seeing that Lu Su's expression was very uncomfortable, Liu Bei did not allow him to disturb him more. He just comforted him and asked him to take supplements, so he left immediately.

After counting, Liu Bei made some adjustments to the personnel according to Lu Su's proposal. When he was transferred to Xichuan under the appointment of Qin Mi, Zhao Feng was also stunned. It seemed that Lu Su's health was really bad. It was time for him to think of a way to see if he could live a few more years than in history.

"I didn't expect that Qin Ziji is now among the nine ministers!" It was Zhang Ren who said this, and there was a trace of envy in his words. Qin Mi was able to be ranked among the nine ministers at the age of less than 30, which has caused a lot of sensation in Xichuan. On the contrary, Zhang Ren's appointment as a general in the west was not very eye-catching. As a member of the Dongzhou faction, although Fa Zheng has also been an official in Xichuan for many years, Zhang Ren really has no identity with him, so he is not interested in Fa Zheng as Ren Jiuqing at all.

"Yongyi, you'd better call me general, don't call me prince." Zhao Feng was a little helpless. Since they were crowned to the throne, these people no longer call themselves generals, but change their names to princes. He has been called a general for more than 20 years since his debut. I suddenly changed my words, and I really didn't get used to it. Besides, I'm still a cavalry general now.

"Your Majesty, you are the prince now. I can't scream casually!" Zhang Ren said with a smile that he was in a good mood and rarely made a little joke. Hearing this, Zhao Feng was even more uncomfortable. Looking at Zhang Ren, who smiled like a cramp on his face, Zhao Feng also changed the topic and said, "Now the lord asked me to eliminate Sima Yi. I don't know what a good strategy you have?"

"Si Ma Yi is in the middle of the Han Dynasty, which is not enough to worry about. Although Yangpingguan is in danger, if you march from the three eastern counties to avoid this danger, you can break the enemy in one fell swoop!" Zhang Ren took it for granted. Not only him, but also Huang Quan and Lu Xun nodded in agreement. If Zhan Hanzhong does not occupy the three eastern counties, it is like the lack of front teeth, which is really not tight enough. The three counties of Shangyong have been merged into one by Liu Bei to set up Xincheng County. Naturally, the governor is Zhang Xiu. Although Zhang Xiu's talent is not as good as Sima Yi, he can still stick to the new city and not seek merit but no fault. If he marched from the three eastern counties, then Sima Yi did not have too many dangers to defend, and his troops were at a disadvantage, so he could only be slowly crushed to death by himself.

"It's just strange. When did Sima Yi defect to Cao Pi and was actually awarded the title of Prince?" Wang Lei suddenly said at this time that it was not just him, but almost everyone was surprised by it.

"I don't think Cao Pi's move is necessarily a good intention. He just wants to use Sima Yi to consume our energy." Zhao Feng curled his lips and said. Cao Pi's move was really fierce enough, and he immediately pushed Sima Yi to the forefront of the storm. Just with Sima Yi's strength, how much energy can he consume? And what's more spoof is that Sima Yi was actually awarded the title of King of Hanzhong. God, this is Liu Bei's throne in history. Is Sima Yi going to become Liu Bei? As soon as this terrible idea appeared in my mind, it was automatically deleted.

"Cao Pi should have this idea, but in this way, don't we have the opportunity to take advantage of it?" Lu Xun suddenly said, Zhao Feng frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then signaled Lu Xun to make it clear.

"Now Cao Pi wants to use Sima Yi's hand to consume the strength of our army. Why don't we take the initiative to lure Cao Pi to attack us and get things from it?" Lu Xun smiled and then explained in detail: "We can pretend to transfer troops from the Central Plains and Jingzhou to enter the customs, causing a false appearance of emptiness in the Central Plains, and then induced Cao Pi's army to go south to fight in the Central Plains, and then let your majesty lead his army out of the customs to attack Hebei. In this way, once Hebei is calmed down, Cao's foundation will inevitably be completely cut off, and the world will be calmed down!"

"That's good!" Zhao Feng nodded and said that this proposal is very bold and novel. Although it is only a conceptual framework now, the surname is still relatively strong. Moreover, after all, Cao Pi is not Cao Wei, and it is indeed relatively easy to deceive him. It's just that I'm in Xichuan now, and I have to deal with Sima Yi, which is really helpless. Fortunately, after I conquered the pass, I have made enough contributions, so I don't care who to give this credit to anyone else.

At present, Zhao Feng wrote a book to reply to Liu Bei, saying that he would send troops to fight against Sima Yi in Hanzhong at the beginning of spring. At the same time, Zhao Feng also put forward Lu Xun's proposal. How to make a decision is still waiting for Liu Bei to make a decision by himself. With Zhuge Liang and others here, there should be no need to make their own suggestions. Moreover, Zhao Feng vaguely felt that his historical mission was almost completed. At most, it is to clean up Sima Yi again.

In such a messy atmosphere, AD 213 became the past, and the time came to AD 214. In this year of history, after three years of hard struggle, Liu Bei won Xichuan and obtained the capital of a corner of security. Nowadays, he has ascended to the throne of the ninety-five supreme, and even unifying the world is just around the corner. Cao Wei, his first enemy in the world, has returned to the dust. And Sun Quan, a blue-eyed child who should have divided the world, has been dead for ten years. History is on a road that no one knows in the future.

After the beginning of spring, Guan Yu, the pastor of Jingzhou, the king of Xiangyang and the general, claimed that the new soldiers in the Central Plains had been properly trained and could lead their troops to the north at any time to eliminate Cao Pi's forces in Hebei. At the same time, Ma Chao, the general of Cheqi, Pang De, the general of Zhenxi, and Ma Dai, the general of Pingxi, also jointly mentioned that 50,000 Xiliang iron riders were on standby at any time and ready to march to Hebei. Next, Zhang Liao, Li Yan, Wei Yan and other local officials all requested the imperial court to lead the army in the northern expedition to unify the world. Zhao Feng of Yizhou informed him directly, saying that he was ready to enter Hanzhong and wipe out the new Hanzhong king Sima Yi and eradicate it.

Looking at a positive and enthusiastic letter of invitation, Liu Bei knew that it was almost time for the last battle to unify the world, and immediately summoned the ministers to discuss. Even Prime Minister Lu Su, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was forced to participate in the court meeting.

"Youqing, after entering Guanzhong the year before last, Zhongqing adjud me to temporarily suspend the military reform on the grounds that Guanzhong was abandoned and the people did not attach to it, so I had never marched to Hebei. Now that the soldiers of the Central Plains have been trained and skilled, I intend to wipe out Hebei in one fell swoop and unify the world. I don't know what you think? Looking at everyone, Liu Bei also asked.

"Your Majesty is very serious. Now that everything is ready, it is the time to enter the army!" Prime Minister Lu Su agreed, and then Chen Qun and Zhuge Liang all agreed. Liu Bei nodded and then said, "I don't know how to enter the army?"

"Your Majesty, although Cao Wei's strength is slightly inferior to that of my big man, it is also not far from each other. Nowadays, the Yellow River is separated from each other in Hedong County, which is difficult to capture for a while. Why don't you let the Xiliang riding general march from Liangzhou, take Bingzhou directly, and then take a detour to attack Hedong County? Such a large army will enter Hebei and fight against the main force of Cao's army, and you will be able to kill Hebei in one fell swoop!" Shaofu Law is the first to play.

At first glance, Fa Zheng's proposal is reasonable, and the strategy is also relatively clever. But the discerning people present can see that his proposal is more for the performance opportunities of Ma Chao of Guan Long's faction. Unlike history, although Ma Chao is still in an important position under Liu Bei, almost all of the first two Northern Expeditions were made of soy sauce. He was far less important than Zhang Fei and other five tiger generals in history, and even worse than Zhang Liao and Wei Yan. If it hadn't been for the appeasement of Guan Longshi and the most elite iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei would not have made him a cavalry general. And what this riding general can mobilize is just the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou. Although according to the customization of the Han Dynasty, he should lead the soldiers and horses of Yongliang. Unfortunately, the governor of Yongzhou is Lieutenant Zhang Fei. No matter how qualified Ma Chao is, he also ordered not to move Zhang Fei.

Seeing that the world is about to calm down, if you don't find a chance to show it to Ma Chao, the yellow cauliflower will really be cold, so Fa Zheng now proposed to let Ma Chao enter Bingzhou to make a contribution. Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything.

A smart man is far more than one law. As soon as he said this seemingly reasonable word, someone couldn't sit still. At present, Chen Qun said, "Your Majesty, Cao Pi occupies Hebei, and the army is no less than 400,000. If you only rely on 50,000 Xiliang iron riders alone, how can you enter the land of Hebei? Now the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains are also ready. Let's march from the Central Plains, fight steadily, and annihilate Cao Pi in one fell swoop!"

Chen Qun's words are also very reasonable. Liu Bei's strength is superior now, and it's better to act safely. Liu Bei still didn't say anything when he heard the words, but his eyes were looking at Lu Su. For so many years, Lu Su's overall view is the most trusted by him. Whenever and no matter what, he will listen to Lu Su's advice and make a decision.

But this time, Lu Su didn't say anything, but just looked at the young right Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. The latter felt Lu Su's vision, but he was not modest at the moment. He stepped forward directly and said calmly, "Your Majesty, what Changwen and Xiaozhi said makes sense. In my opinion, why don't we do it together?

"Two-pronged?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard the words, and then signaled Zhuge Liang to make it clear. Zhuge nodded, and then stood up and talked to the huge sand table on the table, and his tone was full of confidence.
