Wu Zhi is a person who has no reputation but can never get around.
As one of Emperor Wen’s four friends, Wu Zhi made great contributions to Cao Pi’s fight for the crown prince. At this point, even Sima Yi did not have much credit for him. After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, when Sima Yi was still struggling with civil servants, Wu Zhi was already showing off his power.
The general, the general, was in charge of the military commander of Hebei, and was in control of heavy troops.
Hebei is the foundation of Wei State. Wu Zhi held the throne to govern the military of Hebei, which shows how trusted Cao Pi was. Not only was he unique among the four friends of Emperor Wen, but even compared with royal families like Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, Wu Zhi was also an important general.
Of course, having such a status is inseparable from Wu Zhi's own talent, but on the other hand, it is also because Wu Zhi is an isolated minister.
The so-called lonely minister means that no one is close to him except the emperor.
Wu Zhi is from Jiyin, but his family is weak. He is arrogant and wants to gain wealth. He is not close to the villagers and has a bad reputation. Among the four friends of Emperor Wen, Sima Yi and Chen Qun are from a noble family, and Cao Pi uses it.
It was also a warrior; Zhu Shuo was a Pei person, but unfortunately he was a martial artist, only loyal but not very talented. Wu Zhi was both a poor family and talented, and he possessed both strengths, so he was trusted by Emperor Wen. After the sudden honor
Wu Zhi didn't like anyone, and once said to his fellow villager Dong Zhao, "I want to pee at those people's faces." It would be strange if such a person can be accepted by his colleagues."
The other three, who were dissatisfied with their colleagues and were the four friends of Emperor Wen, also disliked Wu Zhi very much. Sima Yi and Chen Qun are children of aristocratic families. Even if there are conflicts, they would not be exposed to him. They just stayed away from him.
Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo were both dissatisfied, and had conflicts in public. Of course, this was a little bit of a word for Wu Zhi. He even made fun of Cao Hong and an important royal official like Cao Zhen, let alone a small Zhu Shuo.
The reason why Wu Zhi's death surprised Xiahou Xuan was that Sima Yi took the initiative to show his favor to Wu Zhi the year before yesterday and married Wu Zhi's daughter for Sima Shi. Two people who had never had much contact became a marriage family. The superficial reason was of course because Xiahou Hui was
Wei Ba snatched it away. Sima Shi reached the age of marriage and had to marry. But if he couldn't marry a daughter from a family, he insisted on marrying Wu Zhi's daughter, there was an article here.
Of course, Xiahou Xuan knew the problem. Although he was in Jiaozhou, some of his thoughts were still placed in Luoyang. Now Cao Xiu is dead, Cao Zhen is seriously ill, and the strength of the Cao family and Xiahou family in the army is getting weaker and weaker. Sima Yi and Wu
He knew very well what threats the qualitative alliance would be.
Wu Zhi's death is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is because Sima Yi lacks a helper, and the bad thing is that Sima Yi lacks a person who can balance him. The relationship between Wu Zhi and him is originally a matter of checks and balances over cooperation.
"I heard from the news from the palace that before Wu Zhi died, he wrote a letter to His Majesty, praising Sima Yi, and even belittled Chen Qun. The next day, His Majesty issued an edict to blame Chen Qun." Cao Fu told the situation he had asked for inquiries.
Once again, he sighed at last: "In my opinion, it is no surprise that Sima Yi and his son were reused. Yuanrong was snatched by Wei Ba. I really don't know if it was a blessing or a loss."
Xiahou Xuan was stunned for a moment. Hearing Cao Fu's words, he couldn't help but sneer: "That's a question, of course it's a blessing. Sima Yi and his son have a ill-intention, and it's obvious that my family is linked to their father and son, and I can have it again
What good result?"
"That's what I said." Cao Fu shook his head: "If you stay in Jiaozhou with peace of mind and never go back in the future, then there is no problem. But if you want to go back, I don't think it's easy to do it."
Xiahou Xuan said nothing, led Cao Fu into the car and drove towards the prefect's mansion. Along the way, short and dark-skinned locals passed by them, and various rare things in the Central Plains were everywhere. Cao
Fu was very curious, looking around and looking around. Compared with Luoyang, this place is undoubtedly a wild place, but the wild place also has the wildness of a wild place, especially those young women with dark skin but very delicate faces.
Not afraid of strangers. When he saw Cao Fu looking at them, he not only did not retreat, but instead boldly threw his eyes, which made Cao Fu feel itchy.
"Taichu, you are so lucky."
"Can you give General Cavalry some face?" Xiahou Xuan said angrily: "You only have women in your eyes?"
"Of course not. I came here to make money, so I picked a few beautiful women to take them back. You know, I'm good at this too." Cao Fu said with a smile: "We are not outsiders, you
Don’t be flirting with that famous scholar’s face, I don’t know your background.”
Xiahou Xuan frowned. It is true that he is a famous scholar, but he is not the kind of famous scholar who only talks about the mystery. He knew very well about Wei Ba's purpose of arranging him to the south of the country, even better than Wei Ba himself.
Understand it more clearly. He also knows what Wei Ba wants to do. Don’t think that it is a good thing that Wei Ba secretly sells grain to Wei. He is not a good person. The cost of transporting grain from thousands of miles is unimaginable.
.While the State of Wei and Shu Han competed for Guanzhong, grain reserves were the top priority. Wei Ba was on the ground and the price was raised. In a few years, the treasury of Wei was emptied and there was no money available.
Unfortunately, Cao Fu only focused on whether he could make money himself, and never thought about these issues related to the survival of the Wei Kingdom. Xiahou Xuan also knew that there must be people from Wei Ba around him, and he could not speak so clearly.
It will not be beneficial to him or Xiahou Hui when it reaches Wei Ba's ears.
It is not a blessing for the great Wei Dynasty to have a Wei tyrant in Shu Han. There are strong enemies outside and treacherous ministers inside, so the great Wei Dynasty's fortune is worrying.
...
Fei Yi rushed to Yanguan and he also received a letter from Zhuge Liang.
"Fei Jun, you are here just in time." Wei Ba came out and said without waiting for Fei Yi to speak: "I was about to send someone to invite you, and you came."
"You have something to ask me for?"
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "What I asked you is the same as what you asked me for."
Fei Yi smiled awkwardly and agreed to Wei Ba's statement. "The Prime Minister is under great pressure in Guanzhong. If there is no sufficient food supply, Guanzhong may be lost, and years of hard work will be wasted."
"I know." Wei Baheshou echoed: "So I want to ask you to discuss with the King of Wu to see if he can fulfill his responsibilities as an allied country and send troops to threaten the Jianghuai area. As long as you put some pressure on the Jianghuai area, I think Wei will be
The country can't hold on for too long."
"I think so too, but if Sun Quan agrees, you have to make concessions first."
"What concessions do you want me to make?" Wei Ba leaned back, picked up a jade Ruyi on the table, and stretched it into his neck, tickling it. "Don't say you asked me to cede the land, this matter
I don't even think about it."
I was puzzled and laughed: "I said, can you have the majesty that General Zhennan deserves?"
"What's wrong?" Wei Ba disagreed, "It's not polite. I treat Fei Jun as my own, so I don't stick to those polite rituals. By the way, the Chen Zhi you recommended is good, I'm going to let him be Yu Lin
If he does well, he may be allowed to replace Liao Gongyuan as the governor of Jiaozhou in the future."
The supervisor is a relatively old official position. In the Qin Dynasty, there were magistrates, magistrates, and magistrates. The guards were in charge of full-time, and the supervisors were responsible for supervision. The supervisors were responsible for supervision, which was the same as the governors of the state and was equivalent to the later discipline inspection commission, but at that time the powers were comparable.
Pure discipline and supervision are much broader, and when necessary, they also have the right to lead the military. Later, the Han Dynasty emphasized the power of the prefect, and the supervision was abolished. Wei Ba took over Jiaozhou, weakening the military power of the prefect. However, the position of supervision was reset. On the one hand, the
Arrange more people, and it is also a check and balance against the prefect.
Wei Ba said what he had made to Chen Zhi at this time, of course, to give Fei Yi face. It was not as simple as rashness.
"I recommend people, but how to use them is your business." Fei Yi was also very slippery and blocked Wei Ba directly. "The most troublesome thing Sun Quan has now is the princess Sun Dahu and Ziyu. You see, it's
no……"
"What does this matter to me?" Wei Ba laughed and cried: "Sun Dahu's child is Zhao Tong's seed, and he has no connection with me. He wants to give his daughter to Zhao Tong. He just wants to ask Zhao Tong if he is willing to accept it.
Why ask me?"
"That's what you said?"
"I said it." Wei Ba smiled: "However, if Zhao Tong could not withstand the pressure, I would feel that he was not worthy of taking on the important task of Wuling Prefect."
Fei Yi suddenly lost his energy. Who is Sun Dahu? Can she be a concubine for Zhao Tong? Sun Quan circled a circle and asked him to come to find Wei Ba Tong. Isn’t it just that Wei Ba wants Zhao Tong to marry Sun Dahu as his wife.
, turn Pan Ziyu into a concubine, even if he becomes a flat wife, anyway, the position of the wife must be given out. Wei Ba said that he didn't care about this, but in fact he opposed it, so how could he talk about it?
"I will make a solemn statement, I am not against it." Wei Ba said with a smile: "You also know that I don't take wives and concubines so seriously. I just think that Zhao Tong should not succumb to Sun Dahu's pressure. That woman is
A naughty man, you have to be more ruthless to cure him. If she succeeds this time, Zhao Tong's family will definitely be uneasy in the future. Besides, I don't believe that Sun Quan will ignore the interests of his daughter for the sake of his daughter."
"That's true." Fei Yi breathed: "He asked you to withdraw Jin Dongliu to Chen County, to withdraw Zhao Tong to Chenyang, and to relieve the threat to Changsha, so that he could transfer Zhang Cheng back to Ruxu
.”
Wei Ba thought for a while: "It's that simple?"
“It’s that simple.”
"Okay, in principle, I agree." Wei Ba laughed: "You can talk to Sun Quan about the details. According to convention, Wei Xing will accompany you, you are a good person, he is a bad person. In addition, you tell Sun Quan if he is a good person.
If you tell me one thing, do another, and don’t work hard, then I will go by myself.”
"Ziyu, can you give Sun Quan some face?" Fei Yi said helplessly: "He is a king after all..."
"He is the king of Cao Wei, not the king of my great Han Dynasty. I only recognize his rank of Marquis of Wu. I will not admit it." Wei Ba pointed to his nose: "He is
Leju, I am also Leju, why should I give him face?"
He laughed and said, "Fei Jun, we have agreed that you are good people, and I will be the evil ones. If I am polite to him, what's the point of you, a good person? Don't worry, Sun Quan is the man
If you eat hard but not soft, you can have a good negotiation with me, a villain, sitting next to you. Otherwise, he will not talk to you honestly."
Fei Yixin nodded with the same feeling: "Although you say this vulgarly, it is also the truth. I just hope you can control your position and not anger Sun Quan and make things worse. Sun Quan is very angry recently and can't arouse him anymore.
