Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and awarded the title of Three Kings. Nan Ye sent troops to Xiliang 9

Cao Pi used the plan of Sima Yi, Xun Yu and Li Ru. While sending an envoy to make peace with Liu Bei, he sent an envoy to Nanye and Zhou Yu to be king. Although Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, set a rule not to seal the king with different surnames, at this time, Liu Xie, the descendants of Liu Bang, could not make the decision, and no one held the rules.

This king is also very particular. In order to provoke the three soldiers and horses, Cao Pi appointed Liu Bei as the herdsman of Yuzhou and the king of Guanzhong. Feng Nanye as the pastor of Jingzhou, the king of Shu. Sun Quan was appointed as the pastor of Yangzhou and the king of Wu.

Among the three kings, Liu Bei's King Guanzhong has the most history. Guanzhong refers to the land of Sili Sanqin, and the geographical location is very important. Thinking of the struggle between Chu and Han, King Huai of Chu agreed that whoever captured Xianyang first would be the king of Guanzhong. As a result, Liu Bang entered Xianyang first, but Xiang Yu did not give him the king of Guanzhong.

Sima Yi believes that Liu Bei, as a descendant of Liu Bang, a Han clan, absolutely cannot refuse the title of King Guanzhong. Moreover, at this time, most of Si Li was already in Nan Ye's hands. Liu Bei only occupied a small part of the east of the Tiger Pass, which was still ceded by Cao Pi. If Liu Bei wanted to consolidate the prestige of the king of Guanzhong, he must compete with Nan Ye for the land of Si Li, which provoked a dispute between the two families. As for the canonization of Yuzhou Mu, there is no trap, mainly to show the sincerity of peace talks.

Cao Pi's sealing of Nanye Jingzhou Mu and Shu Wang is also a way to provoke discord. In Xun Yu's intelligence, two counties in Jingzhou are in the hands of Liu Bei, and Shu is in Liu Zhang's hands. There are only two Han clans left among the princes in the world. Xun Yu wants these two to join hands to resist Nan Ye. Of course, this official position is not unreasonable. After all, Nanye accounts for most of Jingzhou and occupies the four counties in the south. Externally speaking, it is reasonable to seal the magistrate of Nanye Jingzhou and the king of Shu.

Sun Quan's Yangzhou Mu and Wu Wang seem to be well-known, but in fact, the southern part of Yangzhou is also in the hands of Nanye. In this way, it provoked the relationship between Nan Ye and Sun Quan. Obviously, Cao Yingzhong has regarded Nan Ye as the number one enemy and want Nan Ye to make enemies everywhere.

Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong are not fuel-efficient lamps, and naturally they can see the mystery. However, Cao Pi is a scheming. Can he still resist the order and disobey the king by using Liu Xie's decree? What's more, the benefits are not small.

Liu Bei was the first to accept the canonization and make peace under the persuasion of Zhuge Liang, and entered Sili, blocking Nanye's eastward road. With Liu Bei's strength at this time, it is already the limit to eat a next Yuzhou, and it is necessary to rest troops to support the people and accumulate strength. Cao Pi's request for peace was right in Liu Bei's arms. Coupled with the attraction of King Guanzhong, Liu Bei had no reason to accept it.

Zhou Yu did not want to accept Cao Cao's canonization and continue to attack Xu Chang, but it was not up to him to make the decision and could only return Sun Quan for instructions. In this case, Liu Bei had already talked to Cao Pi about the truce. Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei, who was weaker than himself, had been awarded the title of king. Naturally, he refused to succumb to others and accepted the title. Zhou Yu saw that Liu Bei and Cao Cao stopped the way to march again, so he had no intention of continuing to attack Xu Chang and returned to Jiangdong.

Nan Ye may be the person who cares about the throne the most. Whether he accepts it or not is not important to Nan Ye, but it is better than nothing. Therefore, Nan Ye accepted the title but did not intend to reconcile with Cao Cao. It is estimated that even if Nan Ye wants to reconcile Cao Pi, he will not let go of the revenge of killing his father. It doesn't matter if Liu Bei blocked the road to the east. Nanye can also choose to fight to the west. Originally, Nanye's strategic goal was Xiliang.

There are Ma Chao, Pound, Ma Dai and the pioneers. Nanye's army is close to Xiliang all the way without hindrance, and wherever they go, they are surrendered. Only Wei Kang and Yang Fu, who joined the army, retreated to Jicheng and did not surrender.

Wei Kang and Yang Fu were indeed a little unlucky. When Xun Yu ordered to shrink troops to Xuchang, they also received the news. However, Xiliang Road is far away. By the time they wanted to leave, Nanye had already captured Sili and blocked the way. Of course, if they really want to leave, they can also learn from Nanye to cross the Xiongnu land, but both of them are literary ministers and do not have the courage to risk confronting the Xiongnu. So the two of them contracted their troops to Jicheng and sent envoys to the court to ask for reinforcements.

Ma Chao, Pande's Tie Futu and the abductor Ma Pingdi are unparalleled, but they have no choice but to wait for Nanye's army to besiege the city.

Nan Ye's soldiers came to Jicheng and looked up at the height of the city, which was also a headache. Although the Nanye expedition brought out 100,000 Jiaozhou troops, the garrison of Jingzhou was divided into 20,000, and the garrison Sili was divided into 40,000. At this time, there were still 40,000 available soldiers left. Of course, Ma Chao and Pound's 10,000 horsemen can also attack the city after dismounting the horse, but Nanye is reluctant to abuse it so much.

Originally, Nanye still expected that there were not many soldiers in the city, but through the careful exploration of the Dart Bureau and Ma Chao, there were 50,000 soldiers in the city, which was no less than Nan Ye's soldiers at all. In this way, Nanye naturally gave up the idea of attacking and began to discuss with the generals how to break the city.

Pang Tong looked around and saw that the terrain of Jicheng was not conducive to fire attack and could not be flooded. He said, "There are national teachers and Meng Qi in the city. Can you order them to open the city at night?"

Nan Ye had already evacuate Cao Cao's local darts bureau and Qianzhuang as early as the Battle of Red Cliff, leaving only a few details in various places. It's OK to deliver the news, but I don't have the strength to attack the gate, so I shook my head and said, "I don't know how Meng Qi is doing in the city?"

Ma Chao also shook his head and said, "All the details I used were my father's old family, or I couldn't fight anymore. Because of my loyalty to my father, I didn't spread the news until I knew that I came."

Nan Ye also expected Ma Chao to have the strength to affect the city, but he didn't expect that the people he used were all veterans. He couldn't help sighing, "It would be good if there was a Thunderbolt car."

Nanye's dispatch of troops this time took advantage of Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi and paid attention to the speed of soldiers. Naturally, he could not carry a large number of Thunderbolt cars. Although the Thunderbolt has been improved and its power and mobility have been enhanced, it is still not suitable for long-distance expeditions.

Jia Xu heard Nan Ye mention the Thunderbolt car and said, "I forgot it if the national teacher didn't mention it. During the expedition, Ma Deheng of the Academy of Sciences gave me a drawing, which is a way to improve the construction of Thunderbolt cars. Because I didn't meet a strong enemy along the way, I forgot it. It's really a sin.

Nan Ye paid attention to the drawings given by Ma Jun at that time. Now Ma Jun has inherited the position of the Mo family under Huang Chengyan. He was clever and taught by Huang Chengyan and the Academy of Sciences. He made rapid progress. Even Huang Chengyan sighed that he was blue. After Ma Jun's improvement, the power of Yuan Rong's crossbow and Thunderbolt car has been greatly improved, which has also made Ma Jun's status in the Academy of Sciences rise rapidly.

Jia Xu took out the drawing from his arms and unfolded it. He saw that the picture depicted a model of a simple Thunderbolt car. Although the Thunderbolt car on this drawing is simple, the drawing level is extremely high, not only horizontal and vertical, but also every connection, and every angle is explained in detail. With this drawing, Nanye doesn't have to worry about not having a Thunderbolt car.
