Hua Xin is not a fool, he can naturally hear what Cao Rui means.
But it was precisely because he heard it that Hua Xin hurriedly bowed to Cao Rui repeatedly and asked Cao Rui to think again.
"I, the great Wei Dynasty, inherited the legal system of the Han Dynasty due to my abdication, and I am the legitimate Zhengshuo of China.
As for Nishu and Jiangdong, they are just small countries separated from each other.
Although we have gained some advantages against Shu, the foundation of the Wei Dynasty has not been damaged, and the Central Plains is still under our rule.
Is there any good reason in the world for Zhengshuo to form an alliance with the small states of Qin and Jin?
This has never happened before in history!"
Hua Xin burst into tears, hoping that his words would make Cao Rui change his mind.
Hua Xin had many disciples, so he knew that Cao Pi and Cao Rui had secretly sent people to contact Sun Quan in the past.
It's one thing to just communicate privately, but it's another thing to send envoys publicly.
Especially the envoy sent by Cao Rui this time was still him.
As a Situ of Cao Wei, he ranks among the three Dukes and can be regarded as the face of Cao Wei.
Sending himself as an envoy to contact Sun Quan was a sign of Wei lowering himself in every aspect.
Moreover, although the relationship between Qin and Jin is a good story in the Spring and Autumn Period, the basis for the success of this good story is that the Qin and Jin were countries of equal status at that time.
Can Jiangdong be put on the same footing as the current Wei Dynasty? Does Jiangdong deserve it?
The most important thing is that once the world knows that Cao Wei and Jiangdong have good intentions to form an alliance with the Qin and Jin Dynasties, even if the matter does not come to fruition in the end, it will still greatly increase Sun Quan's reputation in the world.
Because as Hua Xin said, despite Cao Wei's current defeats on the battlefield, in the eyes of most scholars in the world, from a legal perspective, Cao Wei is tenable.
And what has Sun Quan been lacking?
What is missing is the word legality!
But Cao Rui's meaning is now very clear. Doesn't Sun Quan lack a name?
Then let him use Cao Wei's legal system to endorse Sun Quan. As long as they can fight against the Han together, then Cao Rui doesn't mind Sun Quan proclaiming himself emperor and establishing the country!
In Hua Xin's view, Cao Rui's behavior was undoubtedly an act of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Hua Xin could not remain indifferent to such a move.
Facing Hua Xin's tearful admonishment, Cao Rui's eyes always looked calm.
"Huaxia Zhengshuo?"
Looking at the jade lamp fragments scattered on the ground, Cao Rui's tone was very cold.
"Now that all the countries in the Western Regions can no longer pay tribute to Luoyang, is there any Zhengshuo in the world who does not want to pay tribute?"
"When Mi Yang captures Guanzhong and sweeps across the Central Plains, will he be able to defeat Mi Yang's army in the name of Zhengshuo of China?"
Could it be that Cao Rui doesn't know about Hua Xin's concerns?
No, as a descendant of Cao Cao, he knows better than anyone how important reputation is.
At that time, Cao Cao was able to sweep away the heroes, and a very important reason was that he shouted the political slogan of "serve the emperor to defeat the disobedient".
But could it be that Cao Cao wiped out many heroes just by relying on a political slogan?
If this is really the case, why didn't Li Jue and Guo Si finally come to dominate the world?
Many people over-emphasize the importance of the word name, but often overlook a more important thing.
Names must be matched with strength to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Cao Cao's personal extraordinary strategy and the dedicated support of many great talents formed the most solid foundation of strength for Cao Cao's initial struggle for supremacy in the world.
On the basis of this tyrannical strength, combined with the political slogan of "serve the emperor to defeat the unworthy ministers", Cao Cao was able to sweep away the heroes step by step and slowly establish the foundation of the Wei Dynasty.
After occupying most of the territory of China, Cao Cao, whose strength was already unparalleled in the world, was able to ignore the so-called name, brazenly proclaim himself the king, and trample the dignity of the Han Dynasty under his feet!
Without the corresponding strength, no matter how great the name, the Wei Dynasty cannot bear it.
In terms of the current situation, if the Wei Dynasty is still foolishly immersed in the beauty of "Huaxia Zhengshuo" and does not know how to adapt at all, then within a few years, Cao Rui will believe that the country's name is Wei. will completely disappear from the world.
"Don't cherish false fame but seek real benefits", this is a sentence that Cao Cao taught Cao Rui back then. This sentence is a portrayal of Cao Cao's life, and it is also the principle that Cao Rui regards as a guideline.
Cao Rui knew that his move would definitely arouse opposition from many people.
But the situation has changed. Under Mi Yang's repeated blows, the Wei Dynasty has long lost its scornful attitude a few years ago.
On the contrary, it is foreseeable that under the leadership of Mi Yang, the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei is gradually replacing the status of the former Wei Dynasty in the world.
Under such circumstances, if the Wei Dynasty does not unite all the forces that can be united, will it continue to sit back and wait for death?
From a long-term perspective, Cao Rui knew he was doing the right thing.
Moreover, what Cao Rui wanted to do was not to give up the name of Huaxia Zhengshuo to Sun Quan, which was absolutely impossible.
His purpose is to change the obscure three-legged situation in the world and bring the three-legged situation to the table.
This will undoubtedly bring about a huge change in the world's situation, and for the Wei Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty can get a rare respite from the upcoming huge change!
As long as it can get a chance to breathe, even if the Wei Dynasty loses Guanzhong, the Wei Dynasty still occupying Hebei and the Central Plains may not have the opportunity to reunify the world in the future.
History books are often written by the victors.
"Gu does not want to give up the legal system of Huaxia Zhengshuo. Gu will always strive for this and complete the unfinished ambition of Emperor Wu.
But you have to know that the legal system of Zhengshuo in China has not only belonged to the Wei Dynasty since the first year of Huangchu.
What is Huaxia Zhengshuo?
Whoever can rule the world in the future will be the real Zhengshuo of China!"
After listening to Cao Rui's words, Hua Xin's words to dissuade him were all blocked in his throat.
He knew what Cao Rui said was right.
Because after Cao Pi established the Wei Dynasty through abdication, Liu Bei also used his own bloodline advantage to reestablish the Han Dynasty in Chengdu.
In essence, the legal system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually divided into two.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Whether it is the scholars of the Wei Dynasty or the scholars of the Shu Han Dynasty, they all have their own reasons to support their own legal system.
Not to mention the scholars of the Wei and Shu Han dynasties at that time, even in later dynasties, there were many people who argued about the legal authority of the two families.
After saying these words, Cao Rui left the hall without looking back.
What Cao Rui didn't know was that in the original history, Zhuge Liang also adopted a similar approach to him.
In this life, Cao Rui finally realized the pain Zhuge Liang suffered when he was forced to make concessions due to the current situation in history.
After Cao Rui left, an edict sent by Cao Rui to Hua Xin was delivered to Hua Xin.
Cao Rui's direct departure, coupled with the actions of the chamberlain, made Hua Xin know that Cao Rui had made up his mind and there was no room for turning back.
Originally, Hua Xin was still thinking about going to see Cao Pi, hoping that Cao Pi could dissuade Cao Rui, but when he thought of the edict issued by Cao Pi before, Hua Xin gave up this idea.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, Hua Xin still sighed helplessly in the end and slowly left the hall with the edict in hand.
When did the Wei Dynasty fall to this point?
What a pity! What a sigh!
...
Mi Yang still doesn't know what huge choices Cao Rui has made in this life because of him.
Mi Yang, who had just led his army to Xiwei, was looking at an edict in his hand with a smile on his face.
The edict was naturally sent by Liu Bei.
After the in-depth talk that night in Shangjun, Mi Yang not only completely took over the military power of the Han Dynasty from Liu Bei, he also strongly suggested that Liu Bei return to Nanzheng to recuperate.
Liu Bei now placed all his hopes of seizing Chang'an on Mi Yang, so in the face of Mi Yang's advice not to back down, although Liu Bei was reluctant in his heart, he finally accepted the advice of Mi Yang, a "domineering general".
Liu Bei, who returned to Nanzheng, was never idle.
Liu Bei has been paying attention to the battle situation on the front line.
After learning that Mi Yang successfully led his army to capture Xi County, Liu Bei quickly sent an edict from Nanzheng to express condolences to Mi Yang.
In the content of this edict, in addition to cheering for Mi Yang, Liu Bei also shared something with Mi Yang that he was very proud of.
Previously, Mi Yang asked Zhang Ni to lead an army of five thousand to garrison Anding County, and ordered Zhang Ni to stabilize the situation in Anding County before further stabilizing the situation in Hexi counties.
Zhang Yi always kept Mi Yang's words in mind.
So some time ago, Zhang Yi led some Han troops into the Hexi counties and officially took over the Hexi counties on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
As we all know, the counties in Hexi have always been the main link between China and the countries in the Western Regions.
When the flag of the Han army flew again at Yumen Pass, some small countries in the Western Regions near Yumen Pass learned about this incident and quickly sent envoys to visit the current emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The envoys from the small countries in the Western Regions were quickly escorted by Zhang Yi all the way to Nanzheng.
When Liu Bei learned that there was an envoy from the Western Regions, he was overjoyed.
Although most of the envoys from the Western Regions who came to meet him now came from some unknown small countries.
But this incident has extraordinary significance for Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty - it means that the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei has begun to take on some of the Chinese Zhengshuo atmosphere.
Liu Bei, who was proud of this matter, would certainly not forget to share his joy with Mi Yang, the greatest contributor to this matter.
Feeling the joy Liu Bei expressed in his words, Mi Yang couldn't help but congratulate Liu Bei in her heart.
Apart from the congratulations, Mi Yang also felt a little sad.
In the original history, Ji Han was despised as Shu by the world. Even many people in later generations believed that Ji Han was not worthy of the name Zhengshuo.
This has always been a lingering regret in the hearts of many fans of Ji Han. I think this regret also made Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the original history toss and turn and lament again and again.
But that won’t happen in this life.
What does the pilgrimage of some small countries count?
What Mi Yang wants to do is to restore the grand scene of "the Emperor of Han frowned lightly, and all the nations flocked to Heluo"!
Thinking of this, Mi Yang's heart surged. After putting away the edict sent by Liu Bei, Mi Yang immediately led a group of confidants out of the city to explore the enemy's situation.
Xiwei is a small city not far from Wuzhangyuan. Under the protection of the generals, Mi Yang quickly arrived near Wuzhangyuan.
When he arrived near Wuzhangyuan and saw the terrain of Wuzhangyuan with his own eyes, the excitement in Mi Yang's heart was slowly disappearing.
Looking at the hillside covered with archers of the Wei army, and then looking at the dense trenches and horses below, Mi Yang felt a little bad.
How afraid of him was the Wei army that they could defend Wuzhangyuan to such an extent?
Originally, the terrain of Wuzhangyuan was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Coupled with this strict defense system, if the Han army launched a strong attack on Wuzhangyuan, they would probably not be able to defeat Wuzhangyuan, no matter how much sacrifice they made.
Not only Mi Yang frowned, but the two tiger generals Zhao Yun and Ma Chao beside him also showed solemn expressions on their faces after seeing the defense lines deployed by the Wei army in Wuzhangyuan.
It's true that they are brave enough to be brave, but after all, they are made of flesh and blood, and they can't fly.
After inspecting the enemy situation in Wuzhangyuan, Mi Yang ordered people to quickly go to investigate the situation in Weibei.
The scouts who went to investigate the situation in Weibei returned soon, but they came back wounded.
After the injured scout returned to Mi Yang, he reported something to him that Mi Yang was even more unwilling to hear.
The north bank of the Wei River has been occupied by the Wei army, and the wounds on his body were caused by the Wei army guarding the north bank of the Wei River.
After learning about this incident, Mi Yang led a group of generals back to the Western Siege City.
After returning to the city, the generals who returned with Mi Yang gave suggestions to Mi Yang.
Some suggested that Mi Yang should take advantage of the high morale to launch a fierce attack on Wuzhangyuan.
Some suggested that Mi Yang should adopt the strategy of enclosing mountains and cutting off water sources, so that the enemy could defeat them without attacking.
Some even suggested that Mi Yang might as well continue to divide his troops, and let one Han army garrison at Wuzhangyuan, and let another Han army cross Wuzhangyuan to Chang'an. This might lure the Wei army on Wuzhangyuan to come down and fight.
There were many suggestions, and each had its own merits, but in the end, none of them made Mi Yang completely satisfied.
In the end, Mi Yang could only order the generals to go down to rest, and he would think carefully about which suggestion to implement.
After the generals retreated, Mi Yang was not thinking about the suggestions put forward by the generals as he said, but quickly summoned an official.
When Si Wenli arrived, Mi Yang handed a token of his body into his hand and told him:
"Quickly go to Wugong County to contact Meng Da and tell him:
The success or failure of our army depends on you!"
After receiving Mi Yang's command, Si Wenli did not dare to delay. He put away Mi Yang's token and quickly walked out of the tent.
After Si Wenli left, Mi Yang paid attention to the map in the tent.
On the map, the terrain of Wuzhangyuan is clearly drawn.
Mi Yang's eyes followed the Wuzhangyuan on the map to the north bank of the Wei River on the map.
In fact, compared to the Wei army on the Wuzhang Plain, the Wei army stationed on the north bank of the Wei River was what Mi Yang was really worried about.
The Wei army on the north bank of the Wei River was like a sharp knife that could stab the Han army in the heart at any time, which made Mi Yang frown.
If you want to capture Wuzhangyuan, you must first devour the Wei army stationed on the north bank of the Wei River.
Just how to do it?
A slender finger kept tapping on the map:
"Weishui, Weishui."
A murmur came from Mi Yang's mouth.
By the way, the Weishui River is not the Yangtze River!
Wanting to attack halfway, did Cao really think he was Xie Xuan?
