Sima Yi's heartfelt words also instantly reminded Cao Pi.

"What Zhongda said is true!"

"If you didn't bring it up now, I would have missed something important."

In an instant, Cao Pi suddenly turned serious.

This is no joke!

His father was away at war, so he was specially ordered to supervise the country and act as an agent in state affairs.

If within this period of time.

From the southeast, Sun led his troops to attack.

And lead to the loss of the important town of Hefei.

Cao Pi knew in his heart that the consequences would be extremely serious!

It may make his father Cao Cao feel that he has no way to be a king.

Thereby alienating him and choosing someone else to train him as his heir apparent!

Just think of this.

Cao Pi felt a strong threat in his heart.

Even though he is now in charge of state affairs, his prestige is unprecedented.

But his position seems stable, but in fact it is still full of crises.

Cao Pi knew it very well.

My father loved his younger brother Cao Zhi very much.

Therefore, he has always been uncertain about his position as Crown Prince.

"There must be no mistakes in the supervision of the country this time."

"Otherwise, my father will be disgusted!"

While thinking about this, Cao Pi thought deeply about it and thought of various consequences.

With these random thoughts in mind, Cao Pi was not as relaxed as before, and asked seriously: "Zhongda, if the Sun family really launches an army to invade, how should our army deal with it?"

One word fell.

Sima Yi also seemed to have expected it. After hearing this, he did not think about it. He raised his hands and said bluntly: "Master Qi, Yi suggested that we should immediately send people to Hefei to order the three generals Zhang, Le and Li."

"Let them send scouts to gather at the riverside from now on to detect the true situation on the east side of the river at any time, maintain a state of martial law, and guard the city."

"Then, he issued an order and ordered Wen Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, and Pei Qian, the governor of Yanzhou, to recruit troops in their respective prefectures and counties in order to respond to unfavorable wars in Hefei at any time."

"If this is the case, Hefei will be safe!"

Just remember the words.

Sima Yi slowly revealed his plan to guard against Jiangdong.

"good!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi thought for a while and then made a decision.

Dong Zhao then turned his head to one side and said in a deep voice: "Gongren, as Zhongda said, you will be responsible for contacting the three generals and the governors Pei and Wen."

"I will obey your orders."

Dong Zhao cupped his hands and followed the order loudly.

And following Sima Yi's plans one by one.

Cao Pi once again pointed his attention at Dongsan County.

On the mediocre side.

During the time when the garrison was intimidating the local gangsters.

Mengda and Kuai Qi, the prefect of Fangling, have arrived one after another.

After Kuai Qi arrived, he began to manage the local civil affairs in an orderly manner.

The scholars and people who were a little panicked when they saw the city changing hands saw Kuai Qi coming to take charge, and they completely settled down in a short period of time!

Seeing Kuai Qi's political ability.

Zhao Tong only has two words - admire!

Really admire it.

He felt that apart from commanding soldiers, he was too poor at managing people's livelihood.

Even Ma Su is like this.

Although he was extremely intelligent, he always followed Zhuge Liang.

But Ma Su only studied military books on military strategy.

As for political affairs, I really don’t have much involvement.

The so-called "professional specialization"

There is no harm without comparison.

However, Kuai Qi was in charge.

Zhao Tong doesn't have to worry about chaos in the county.

Put civil affairs aside.

He discussed the rest with Ma Su.

"For so many days, Fancheng and Xudu have taken no action at all regarding our army's attack on the Three East Counties. They seem to want nothing to do with it at all."

"You Chang think there is something fishy about this matter?"

After a while, the words fell.

Ma Di pondered for a moment and then said bluntly: "When things go wrong, there must be a monster!"

"The three eastern counties are connected to Hanzhong, and you can go directly to the county along the Han River to the west."

"There are many resourceful people in Cao's camp, and they can obviously see the strategic significance of the three eastern counties, but they have not made the slightest move."

"That can only explain one situation."

"They are hatching a conspiracy."

"Oh? You Chang thinks so too?"

"Then based on this, it is very likely that it is related to the local wealthy family."

"Well, after all, we just used thunderous means to cleanse the armed forces among the powerful families, causing great damage to the local powerful families. These people obviously hate our army very much."

"Then, when Cao Ying secretly sends someone to meet them, there is a high probability that they will secretly plan together to help Cao Jun capture the three counties."

"And Cao Jun has not taken any action until now, so it is very likely that the two sides are still in contact."

Following Ma Su's analysis.

Zhao Tong gradually became clearer.

"Since the two parties have not yet reached a consensus."

"Then we will put on a good show and prompt the wealthy families to revolt."

This statement just fell into place.

Ma Di raised his head and saw Zhao Tong's expression full of murderous intent.

Obviously, he has already planned to kill the local wealthy family.

Ma Su understands.

It started from forcing the powerful clans to take the lead in using force.

The local wealthy families have no way out.

At this moment, it is natural to hope that they will collude with Cao Jun again.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there would be no excuse for the bloodbath of the families.

But for this matter.

Ma Su did not give any advice.

He also understood that leaving this group of families that had been entrenched in the three counties for decades would ultimately be a source of instability.

Eliminating it in one fell swoop is the solution once and for all!

Zhao Tong has always been a decisive person.

Now that it has been decided, it will be implemented immediately.

Next, Zhao Tong announced that all the ministries were slowly gathering towards the shore of the Han River, preparing to board the rafts that had been basically built and head westward against the current.
