Cao Xiong finally got the secret letter, opened the binding rope and looked at the contents above.
His brows became tighter and tighter.
Could it be that Cao Pi really didn't do anything and never stopped, and he also did Wei Wang Cao Cao?
"Is Cao Pi really such a tiger?"
Gan!It is really possible that this person is such a tiger!
Especially with Jia Xu, the black-bellied originator, by his side, it's no surprise that anything happens!
"Cao Xiong, what's the matter?" Sun Shangxiang came out from the back room, staying behind for a long time.
"I'm afraid we have to change our plan!" Cao Xiong turned his head, "Cao Pi did something bad in the city!"
After a day of rest in Luoyang, at dawn, the east gate of Luoyang opened!
A familiar cavalry rushed out of the city gate, and tens of thousands of cavalry rode away in smoke and dust!
General Huang Zhong carried the red and blue double-sided flag on his back and led the troops at the front.
The news of Cao Xiong leaving the city was immediately spread to Yecheng.
On the banks of the Zhang River.
Jia Xu is sitting by the wooden platform fishing, the willows are swaying by the river, and the wind blows the catkins, flying all over the sky.
"Sir." Cao Pi sat down on the edge of the wooden platform, propped his hands on the ground, "Cao Xiong is coming back!"
"Cao Xiong, the world-famous heir of the Cao family, led [-] elite soldiers and cavalry, and his general Huang Zhong rushed back to Jizhou from Xiliang within a month!"
"Now, he is going back to Yecheng to get back what belongs to him!"
Jia Xu squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the white fluff on the surface of the river, like snow falling into the water.
"Second Young Master, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, but I'm not afraid!" Cao Pi looked up at the sun, "I even killed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty! What else is there to be afraid of?"
"It's just that I feel excited inside!"
Cao Pi straightened up and clapped his hands, "Since I was a child, I have watched my fifth brother grow up."
"He rises slowly like a star, getting brighter and brighter!"
"I remember when I was a child, my fifth brother was weak and sick, and was about to die of illness at one point."
"At that time, I went to see him every day, and felt that the two of us had the same fate, and our fate was bitter."
"I always thought that Cao Ang would be my eldest brother, but then Cao Ang died; Cao Chong would become the smartest person, and then Cao Chong also faded out of everyone's sight; That son!"
"Only the fifth brother, I can't hate him at all, but he has targeted me in the general court time and time again."
"It's like fate. From the very beginning, it was doomed. One of us will be the one who will be the last person on the stage of life and death."
"Sir, who do you think will win between the two of us?"
"The old man can't figure it out." Jia Xu said in a leisurely tone, and continued to fish, "Second Young Master only knows what it is, but not why."
"As a person who has experienced the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, the old man can see it a little more clearly."
"Second son, you know why, among the many sons, military, government, calligraphy and painting each have their own specialties, but in the end it was you and Mr. Xiong who came to the end? Why did the King of Wei acquiesce in the end and give you a chance?"
Cao Pi frowned, took a deep breath, and pondered for a moment with small eyes, but he couldn't figure out why.
Cao Pi got up on his knees, eagerly faced Jia Xu, and bowed his hands!
"Please advise sir!"
Jia Xu glanced sideways at Cao Pi's respectful expression, but still turned his gaze to the river.
"Because of loving the people."
"Aimin?"
"Among all the sons of King Wei, Zhi and Chong are the most intelligent, but they are just some cleverness read from the book. They think that they can compare with the saints by reading Yan Ruyu and the golden house from the book. , benefiting the world; although the two young masters, Ang and Zhang, are not lacking in tactics on the battlefield, they are only warriors after all."
Chapter 1860 Throughout the ages, winners and losers!
"Only the two sons, Pi and Xiong, have the hearts of the people in their hearts and the opinions of the people in their hearts. This is the foundation of being an emperor!"
"There are some things that fall from the world and have been there since birth."
"If you can't learn it, you can't give it up!"
Cao Pi felt suddenly enlightened after hearing this speech!
He is exhausted and blunt, struggling to improve himself, although he is no better than Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, but his father always has a special expectation for him!
Since childhood, in fact, the only one who really connected with each other was his fifth younger brother.
It wasn't until today that Cao Pi understood why Cao Zhi and Cao Chong were so smart, but they couldn't make it to the end after all.
He is inferior to Cao Xiong in every way, but Cao Cao still cultivates generosity better than him in every way!
"Sir, Mana... Mana..."
"If you can't think of words, don't sue."
Jia Xu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "However, reading is still useful. After Cao Zhi and Cao Chong realized this, it's not about you two sons competing for the throne, and they started to choose sides."
"They chose to side with Cao Xiong!" Cao Pi exclaimed!
Jia Xu nodded.
"Then what should I do?!" Cao Pi's flustered temper was revealed again.
Jia Xu turned her head this time and looked directly into Cao Pi's eyes sternly!
Cao Pi swallowed immediately and calmed down!
"Cao Pi is rude!" Cao Pi apologized and bowed again.
"Cultures have civility, martial arts have martial arts, sons of Xiong have Zhi and Chong to help, sons of Pi have their own strengths, son Cao Zhang, Zhang Liao of Hefei, Cao Ren of Fancheng, Yu Jin of Jingzhou, relatives Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, these people, But they are all relying on you!"
"Compared to Zhi and Chong who only have the title of son and have no real power, son, do you still have to worry?"
Jia Xu didn't care about the princes in Yecheng at all, what he was really worried about was outside.
"Sir, it is true." Cao Pi was reassured, but still worried, "Then..."
"What I really need to worry about is Cao Xiong, who holds a heavy army in his hands and will conquer the world!"
"That's right!" Jia Xu picked up the fishing rod, and a long fish broke through the water, "Master, you only need to worry about Cao Xiong!"
"The real duel! It's still the duel between Mr. Pi and Shizi!"
Cao Pi helped Jia Xu take back the fishing line and took the fish off the hook.
"This is exactly what I came to ask for advice today!" Cao Pi offered the fish with both hands, "How should I deal with Cao Xiong!?"
"Hasn't Mr. Pi already done it?"
Cao Pi raised his eyes in astonishment, "Mr. mean?!"
"Young Master Pi has already done the last step to the throne of God!"
"Sir, you mean...killed the crown prince?!"
"No matter what method is used, assassination, poisoning, deception! As long as Cao Xiong is killed, Mr. Pi will be the final winner!"
"Then how do I explain to my father, how to explain to the world, and how do future generations comment?!"
Jia Xu stood up angrily and kicked down Cao Pi who was kneeling on the ground!
"Throughout the ages, winners and losers! Doesn't Mr. Pi even understand this truth?"
"What a good method, what a bad method! If you don't kill Cao Xiong, Cao Xiong will kill you! The more you care about your reputation, the more you will be burdened by it, and the more you try to cover it up, the more likely you will make mistakes!"
"Mr. Pi, why don't you just do it, and don't stop!"
"This important matter is completely over!"
"Cao Pi, remember! There are only two candidates to succeed King Wei, and it is either you or the son Cao Xiong!"
"Unless both of you are dead!"
Chapter 1861 What's the point of three betting on one!
Zhanghe River looks north, in the city of Ye.
In Cao Zhi's mansion.
Cao Zhizheng took back a carrier pigeon, and the carrier pigeon stayed in his hands with news from hundreds of miles away.
"Good pigeon, good pigeon~"
Cao Zhi stroked the white pigeon lightly, and took down the letter.
"What did Cao Xiong say?" Cao Chong and Cao Lin were sitting beside them drinking sake.
"Within seven days, Cao Xiong will return to Yecheng with [-] elite cavalry." Cao Zhi threw the note to the two people, "You can see for yourself."
"How did you two plan, are you sure you don't want to participate in the emperor's struggle?" Cao Zhi raised the jug, looking at the wine pouring from his mouth.
"How did you participate? Wiping both Cao Xiong and Cao Pi at the same time?" Cao Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, "This is too absurd."
"I don't want to be involved in the dispute over the throne either." Cao Chong shook his head, "I'm not suitable to be emperor, at least, compared to others."
"What about you?" Cao Chong and Cao Lin looked at Cao Zhi at the same time.
"Me~" Cao Zhi looked up at the sky with bleary drunken eyes, the white clouds and blue sky were still pure, "Brother Xiong is willing to give me a sip of wine, I will be very proud, why bother to snatch those breathtaking things?"
"Then we have reached an agreement? Neither will participate in the struggle for the throne?"
"We are responsible for setting up the arena and setting up the scene. The next thing is to leave it to Cao Xiong and Cao Pi to fight openly and secretly."
"Who do you think can win?" Cao Zhi asked the two of them.
Cao Chong thought for a moment, "Cao Xiong."
Cao Lin glanced at Cao Chong and nodded, "I also think Cao Xiong can win."
"Oh? Are you all so optimistic about the fifth brother?" Cao Zhi laughed while holding up the flagon, "Then I will put my bet on Cao Pi."
"You will suppress Cao Pi?"
"There will be a lottery if there is a struggle!" Cao Zhi picked up the ink pen and waved it, "What's the point of three betting on one person!?"
Mo Hao waved!
On the delicate white paper is the word 'Emperor'!
"I bet those relatives and noble generals will fight again for Cao Pi! Slash their swords at Cao Xiong!"
"From now on, the thirteen states of the Eastern Continent will start fighting again! Never die!"
After seven days.
Under the leadership of Huang Zhong, [-] cavalry slowly entered Yecheng!
Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang rode side by side and slowly entered Nancheng!
Sure enough, the streets of Yecheng were deserted, as if after an epidemic!
Not to mention the welcome ceremony, there is not even a receptionist.
"Let's go, go directly to the military camp!"
Sun Shangxiang has been vigilant!
Yecheng is dangerous, and what happened to the school that has been training Xuanjia soldiers?
In the pavilions by the street, the windows were quietly opened one by one.
