Cao Pi did not report Sima Yi's matter to Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao smelled that Cao Pi did not know how to answer. Liu Ye was still smart. Seeing that Cao Pi's expression was wrong, he quickly said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, the general Sima colluded with the Xianbei people to harass the Han Dynasty. The evidence is conclusive.
I am already a commoner by voluntarily resigning, and now I, the Great Sima General of the State of Wei, am temporarily vacant, waiting for a more suitable candidate!"
"Collude with the Xianbei people?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu nodded. Cao Cao was the one who originally sent Sima Lang and Sima Fu to contact the barbarians outside the Great Wall to deal with Long Fei. During Cao Cao's illness, Cao Pi made his own decisions on all the things that happened. Now it is normal for Cao Cao to ask. As for Sima Yi, he is also involved.
Among them, it seemed a bit far-fetched. Although Cao Cao was ill, he was still not confused, so he asked Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu said: "The Xianbei people invaded Youzhou, and the general sent Sima Lang to deal with it. Sima Lang handed over the Youzhou governor Du Shu, who attacked the Xianbei people to defend our country, to the Xianbei people for execution. This caused dissatisfaction among the people, and people everywhere protested.
Sima Lang is the brother of the general, so the general resigned to avoid domestic turmoil!"
"So it seems that the general gave up his position for the sake of Wei?" Cao Cao could hear his regret for Sima Yi from Cheng Yu's words. To be honest, Sima Yi was a good general, but he was too ambitious.
There were many people in the court who did not like him. Cao Cao's evaluation of Sima Yi was regarded as an affirmation of Sima Yi, and those who followed suit began to murmur in their hearts.
When Cao Pi heard what Cao Cao said, he began to feel a little scared, worried that Cao Cao would blame him for this. Cao Pi glanced at him, and Cao Pi hurriedly lowered his head. Cao Cao shook his head: "Now that the general has resigned, what else can he do?
Who can stop Long Fei?"
No one dared to speak. Cao Pi stood up in a hurry and said: "Father, the Grand Governor Yu Jin has led his troops to capture the King of Xianbei. Yu Jin is an old minister of our Wei State and has made many military exploits. I think that Yu Jin can take on this important task."
Dong Zhao also said: "Even if we have no one in Wei, is it possible that only Sima Yi can stop Long Fei? I can't see it. The defeat of Luoyang and the defeat of Hulao Pass are inseparable from Sima Yi. I'm afraid Sima Yi is not the same."
Long Fei’s opponent.”
Everyone sighed, the state of Wei was withering, and Sima Yi was the only one who could take advantage of the dying wounds. However, he was too ambitious and out of control. If Sima Yi was allowed to take power, who knows what the result would be. But Wei Wei
The country has no one, and no one can recommend a capable person.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the last person stood up and raised his hand to Cao Cao: "I am a weak general. I would like to ask for orders to go to the river. Maybe I can stop Long Fei for a while."
Everyone turned around and saw that it was none other than Sima Yi's son-in-law Du Yu. Cao Pi and others immediately felt that something was wrong. It was because of Du Shu's incident that Cao Pi did not dismiss Du Yu's official position. But after all, Du Yu was also Sima Yi's son-in-law.
What should they do if Sima uses Du Yu to seek power in Wei again? Perhaps Du Yu is a pawn left by Sima in the court.
"You don't have all the hair on your mouth, how can you stop Long Fei?" Liu Ye was the first to stand up and object. None of them had ever seen Du Yu use troops. It would be good for everyone if it worked, but if it didn't, it would be the pain of ruining the country.
Even Cao Cao felt it was inappropriate to place the fate of Wei State on a child, not to mention Liu Ye.
However, Du Yu said: "Your Majesty, although Du Yu is not talented, he has read a few military books. I pledge my life at full price, just to contribute to the country. If I fail, your majesty will kill Du Yu's family!"
There is no one in Wei who has such courage. Even Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others did not dare to make such a bet. Cao Cao nodded secretly: "I didn't expect that there are such loyal and patriotic people in my court. Anyway, really
I will leave the defense of the Yellow River in your hands. If things go well, there will be great rewards. Your family will stay in Yecheng for now. I will take good care of it, so you can defend yourself against Long Fei with peace of mind!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao said. No one dared to say anything more, and the matter was settled.
Back at the Prince's Mansion, Cao Pi was so angry that he threw things, and everyone in the house was trembling with fear. No one dared to come near. Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao came to the Prince's Mansion for the first time and saw this situation. Dong Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Hey
! Why is the prince so angry? Apart from Du Yu, who took the initiative to ask for help, only Sima Yi can fight against Long Fei. Is it possible that the prince hopes that your majesty will re-appoint Sima Yi? "
Seeing that it was Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao, Cao Pi quickly restrained himself, angrily scolded his servants to clean up quickly, and took Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao to the back garden. The back garden of the Prince's Mansion was almost the same as the one in the palace, but a little smaller.
Sitting down in a pavilion, a servant served tea. After taking a few sips, Cao Pi sighed: "I don't know what my father is thinking, but he entrusts the life and death of our country to a child."
Dong Zhao said: "Prince, don't worry. I still know something about this Du Yu. This man is young and eager to learn. He is called Du Wuku. It is said that he has an arsenal in his chest. He has everything. Maybe he can really stop Long Fei. Now I, Wei
The country's talents are withering, but Yu Jin is still outside the Great Wall. I don't know when he will come back. Even if he comes back, he can't stop Long Fei, so we can only let Du Yu try."
"What I'm worried about is not this, but Sima Yi. This Du Yu is Sima Yi's son-in-law!" Cao Pi said.
Cheng Yu shook his head: "Didn't the prince hear what Du Yu said? Du Yu left all his family members in Yecheng as hostages, including Sima Yi!"
"Oh?" Cao Pi was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, the worries on his face disappeared and he smiled. Yes, Du Yu's family members certainly include Sima Yi. According to the nine tribes, Sima Yi is Lu Xun's wife. If Du Yu fails,
Sima Yi will undoubtedly die.
Du Yu took a big risk this time, and he had no confidence in defeating Longfei. Asking Cao Cao for orders was Sima Yi's plan. Sima Yi took the initiative to resign as General Sima, partly to appease the people's resentment, and partly to preserve the Sima family.
. Because I did not check for a while, I gave Du Shu to the Xianbei people, which led to the current situation. I not only offended the Xianbei people, but also offended the Wei people.
It took Sima Yi three days and three nights to get his good son-in-law Du Yu to his side. Du Yu was talented, and Sima Yi knew it. Because of this, he married his daughter to him. Du Shu's death had a great impact on the Du family and the Du family.
The relationship between the Sima family was a heavy blow. Sima Yi finally brought Du Yu back with all his good words. Sima Yi withdrew from the court, but Du Yu's General Jianwei was still there.
In order to regain the power of Wei, Sima Yi first asked Du Yu to volunteer and control the defense along the Yellow River. This was to seize the lifeline of the Wei State. The life and death of the Wei State was in Du Yu's hands. As long as Du Yu let go, the Long Army would
You can easily read the Yellow River. Then Sima Yi comes forward again. Even if Cao Pi doesn't want Sima Yi to come back, he probably won't be able to do it anymore.
Long Fei received information that Yu Jin, the governor of the Wei State, had captured King Xianbei and Lian, and the Xianbei War came to an end. In this case, the war between the Tianlong Empire and the Wei State was put on the agenda again, in order to keep people's words.
With this impression, Long Fei rejected the suggestion made by Xu Shu and others to break into Wei State and cross the border. Since they wanted to fight, they had to fight openly and openly. It was not that they could not defeat Wei State, so why engage in such sneaky things.
I don’t know much about Du Yu and Long Fei. It can be said that even hearing this name feels unfamiliar. Li Ru is a little clearer and introduced Du Yu to Long Fei in detail, starting from his ancestor Du Yannian and describing Du Yu.
The family gave a thorough explanation. Finally, Li Ru said: "Du Yu is quite talented and learned. If he can use it for himself, then your Majesty will have another handsome man under his command!"
"Oh? Is this Du Yu really that powerful?" Long Fei was a little surprised. Li Ru never praised anyone. Among the children around him, Li Ru was only more optimistic about Lu Xun and Deng Ai, such as Dian Man, Xu Yi and Li Ru.
They all scoffed. Unexpectedly, Du Yu was said to be a famous handsome man. This was far beyond Long Fei's expectation.
"So, we must use this Du Yu for our own use?" Long Fei chuckled: "Then do you guys have any good ideas?"
Xu Shu said: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Du Yu is Sima Yi's son-in-law. Now Cao Cao has reused him. Both parties are very optimistic about him. It's not easy to pull him over."
Guo Jia smiled: "What's so difficult about this?" He waved his hand and called Jiang Gan to his side. He gave a few instructions and asked Jiang Gan to leave first. He called Wei Yan over and said a few more words. In the end, it was Xian Yuyin and Yan Rou.
After all these people were sent away, Guo Jia looked at everyone's doubtful eyes and smiled slightly: "Within one month, I guarantee that Du Yu will kneel at His Majesty's feet!"
Du Yu was ordered to rush to the banks of the Yellow River. He was not at ease with his family members who stayed in Yecheng. As Sima Yi's son-in-law, he was used by Sima Yi in every possible way. First, it was his father. Sima Yi had promised to protect him, but in the end, Sima Lang handed his father over.
He killed the Xianbei people and now exchanged the lives of his whole family for these soldiers and horses. Du Yu had some idea of how powerful the Dragon Army was. Especially the Dragon Army's cannons, which could destroy even a fortified city.
In the Yellow River, there are also the Dragon Army's naval forces, which are watching eagerly. I heard that troops cannot be stationed within three or five miles of the north bank of the Yellow River. Those Dragon Army's naval forces are extremely ferocious and flexible. As long as they are Wei's troops and horses, they will harass them endlessly.
What's more serious is a massacre.
Du Yu had just received the battle report when he was still in Chaoge. The Dragon Army, which had just been dormant for three months, had become more and more active recently, and there were more and more naval forces in the Yellow River. These naval forces would land at every turn.
Going to the north bank of the Yellow River is either to fight against the Wei army or to plunder the people. The strange thing is that the people seem to welcome this kind of plunder. Sometimes as long as the dragon army comes ashore, many people will immediately flock to it, hoping to be captured by the dragon army.
Taken away by the military.
The same goes for the army. Many soldiers will surrender immediately when they see the Dragon Army, waiting for the Dragon Army to accept it. In just half a month, the number of troops on the bank of the Yellow River was reduced by 20%, and countless people were plundered. It can be said that the north bank of the Yellow River is ten miles away.
Except for a small number of Wei troops, it was completely deserted. It was only after Du Yu realized that he had overestimated Wei's defense and also overestimated someone's resourcefulness.
