Chapter 159 You Are Harming Me
A few days later, Cao Cao in Xudu suddenly received a very strange report.

Seeing that it was written by Cao Pi, Cao Cao subconsciously threw it into the corner of the wall—if he thought about it, he knew that his careless son could do nothing more than say hello to himself and talk about his achievements, or say hello to himself and say something about it Brother's not.

To be honest, as his own flesh and blood, Cao Cao really loves Cao Pi, but Cao Pi has a very perfect elder brother.

Cao Ang has a gentle temperament, dares to make decisions in times of crisis, and doesn't show his face, has a heart and a wrist, and knows how to maintain himself in the flattery of a group of people, and stay away from those aristocratic families, so that he will not be swallowed by them.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi will not work.

These two people are surrounded by children of great families, and neither of them can change their arrogance, and they will be swallowed if they are careless.

As soon as he thought of the bragging in Cao Pi's letters, Cao Cao began to get up.

He has been very busy recently, and he has no time to deal with such nonsense, so he just forgot about it when he turned around.

A few days later, Yu Jin, who was stationed in Wancheng, and Le Jin, who was stationed in Xiangyang, successively made memorials, saying that Huo Jun was rampant, and now he has moved to the vicinity of Wancheng, and Cao Pi is trying to round up Yunyun.

Rebellion under Cao Cao's rule is simply too normal, and it is not normal not to rebel. Cao Cao didn't care about it at first, but when he saw Cao Pi's name in the battle report, he was quite unhappy. He actually got to Yu Jin's place, this time he had to be beaten.

At this moment, he finally remembered that Cao Pi had written a letter to himself before, and he wanted to see what this kid was boasting in the letter, but when he opened the letter, he was surprised to find that Cao Pi did not use exaggerated rhetoric, but simply described it. Several battles between myself and Huo Jun in Xinye.

Cao Pi said with lingering fears that Huo Jun was different from ordinary thieves. He was brave and good at fighting, and he was good at managing territory.

The third attack used the strategist Ma Di's strategy to secretly summon the warriors from the county. Taking advantage of Huo Jun's underestimation of the enemy, he was lucky enough to win and beheaded more than fifty levels. However, Huo Jun was not harmed. meaning, please father to inform Yu Jin to take precautions.

Cao Cao was covered in cold sweat, secretly cursing himself for being impulsive.

He hurriedly summoned Wang Bi and Sima Yi, and studied Cao Pi's letters together. Both of them felt Cao Pi's progress, and also felt Huo Jun's difference from the lines.

If Cao Pi described the battle situation in the letter with the gorgeous rhetoric of a great writer, Cao Cao would definitely scold Cao Pi for nonsense while publishing the letter.

But in this letter, Cao Pi was uncharacteristically, and actually spent a lot of space describing his two defeats, and also reviewed his rash advances underestimating the enemy, which made Cao Cao feel very relieved.

The son has finally grown up, finally grown up.

Being able to admit one's own shortcomings is the beginning of progress, which made Cao Cao look at Cao Pi with admiration.

"Well, this Huo Jun...what is his origin, how many soldiers and horses are there under his command?"

Wang must have been prepared a long time ago, and immediately spoke in eloquence.

"Huo Jun is from Zhijiang in South County, he was originally a mighty general under Liu Biao, but he followed General Yunshan for a short time.

But when General Xiahou was in Jingzhou, General Yunshan chose to support General Xiahou to abandon the Jingzhou people, which aroused Huo Jun's displeasure, and then he got rid of General Yun and led more than [-] infantry into Xinye as thieves. "

"300 people."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

What can 300 people do?
300 people can do it against Xinye, which is unprepared, but it is a dream to fight against Wancheng, where Yu Jin is in charge.

Sima Yi talked about Huo Jun's tactics again, and Cao Cao laughed when he heard that Huo Jun didn't go around looting to supplement his own military resources.

At first, he wondered if Yunshan was using some means to ask for conditions, but after hearing Huo Jun's behavior, he really couldn't urinate in the same pot as the greedy and arrogant Yunshan.

In this case……

It's not that you can't give your son a chance to practice.

"Let Zihuan be in charge of suppressing this bandit. If he can wipe out the bandit, well, I will give you a reward!"

Sima Yi and Wang Bi exchanged a look of surprise, Qi said "only".

"Also, send someone to find out if Zihuan committed crimes by committing crimes!" After being excited, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that there was still this section, "Let the school officials check it out. Forgive me."

·
Xinye, Cao Pi is really not in a good mood these days.

He had been defeated by Huo Jun in a row before, and he had lost the courage to fight outside the city.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to use Ma Di's strategy - kill the good and pretend to be meritorious.

When talking about doing this kind of thing, Cao Pi felt uneasy. He is striving for the goal of the future emperor, and he must have some basic moral concepts. Killing good people to fool his own father seems to be much worse than massacring the city. This is clearly Dig a grave for Cao Jun.

But if he didn't do this, wouldn't Cao Pi's hard-earned reputation be ruined overnight? Cao Cao must have felt that he couldn't even beat a few bandits, so how could he be his heir.

Ma Su is very optimistic. He said that Cao Pi has amazing talents. As long as he can overcome the current difficulties, he will get better in the future. He can talk to Huo Jun and promise to find a psychologically acceptable solution for Cao Pi.

Cao Pi thought that there is no psychologically acceptable solution to such a thing as killing a good man and taking meritorious deeds, but he did not expect that Ma Liang sneaked into Huo Jun's barracks when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and after a simple discussion with Huo Jun, he actually found out the truth. a suitable solution.

A few days later, as stated in the letter to Cao Cao, Cao Pi served wine to entertain the nobles in Xinye and asked them to recruit warriors to attack Huo Jun.

The nobles in Xinye regretted fighting Huo Jun, but now that it is hard to get off the tiger, they can only give Cao Pi advice.

Some of them mentioned that he had a tacit relationship with the water bandits in the Feishui area. As long as Cao Pi was willing to recruit those water bandits and forgive their sins, they would be willing to help the court and crusade against Huo Jun.

Cao Pi was overjoyed, and personally pointed at the water and swore to pardon the crimes of these people. As long as they were willing to attack Huo Jun, no matter what unconscionable business they had done before, they would all be cancelled.

These water bandits were all overjoyed when they heard the words.

Who doesn't want to give himself the name of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Jun soldiers may not be greener than these thieves. After joining the Cao Jun, they can legally rob it, which is too attractive.

So, they came to Xinye one after another, kowtowed to Cao Pi, and accepted Cao Pi's inspection.

They were very relieved to accept the condolences from Cao Cao's son. Just when they were dreaming of a bright future and getting drunk, they were going back to the water village to recruit brothers to gather to fight against Huo Jun. Without the power to fight back, he was easily captured alive.

Huo Jun showed no mercy to them, immediately began to torture them, and soon found out where the water bandits' lair was and their collaborators in Xinye.

That night, Huo Jun pressured the water bandits to open the door of his house, bloodbathed the water bandits' lair when they were unprepared, and then returned to Xinye City overnight to disclose the confessions of the water bandits and the red and black accounts in their hands. Huo Jun's murderous reputation has been resounding throughout Xinye since then.

"Youchang, Youchang, you are hurting me."

Thinking of the red-eyed Huo Junjing's naked upper body, wielding a knife to kill people at will, and his whole body drenched in blood, Cao Pi felt lingering fear, and couldn't help complaining about Ma Di again.

Ma Di smiled gently:
"Young master, I'm doing this for your own good."

"Why is it for me again?"

"Huo Jun's kill, how can anyone in Xinye dare to say that he is not? From now on, if the young master says a big victory, it will be a big victory.

I know that the young master is kind-hearted, and I don't want to see such a miserable scene under the rule. Don't worry, the young master, I have already agreed with Huo Jun to let them go to Wancheng.

I promise, wherever the young master goes in the future, Huo Jun will definitely avoid the young master! "

Cao Pi: ...

Although, it feels a little weird.

Cao Pi had a splitting headache and didn't know how to describe this weird feeling.

His vision is not bad, and he has already felt Huo Jun's strength.

If this person is given a certain amount of space to display, he may be the enemy of Cao Jun in the future.

Logically speaking, I should quickly recruit General Yun and Yu Jin to destroy him.

but……

"If General Yu and General Yun eliminate this person, how can you show your son's ability?

If you want the prime minister to pay attention to the young master, you must win the battle, and you will never return to the court without meritorious service. "

"As for how to do it, I believe...you don't need to say too much?"

Cao Pi's teeth trembled a few times.

Not only is he not stupid, but he is quite shrewd and knows many things in the ranks.

Ma Su is clearly telling him to support the bandits, not only not to destroy Huo Jun, but to create an image that no one else can do anything to him, and only I can defeat him.

If you are a general of one side, it is probably okay to do so, whoever guards one side has to have some calculations of his own.

But Cao Pi regarded himself as Cao Cao's successor. He was ambitious and wanted to ascend to the supreme position in the future. This world is said to be the foundation of Cao's family.

He raises bandits in Cao's confidant, isn't this shaking his family's lifeblood?
He was silent for a moment, but he thought of his father who was far away in Xudu.

Cao Cao doesn't like Cao Pi, this is a well-known thing, otherwise he wouldn't scold Cao Pi for fake crying at Cao Chong's funeral, which made Cao Pi very embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a while.

Cao Pi has been working hard since he was a child, trying to get Cao Cao's approval, but how can the living compete with the dead?The eldest brother and Cang Shu gave his father a very good impression. No matter how hard Cao Pi tried, it was nothing more than that in Cao Cao's eyes.

That's right, if I don't grasp this opportunity, it might be Zijian who ascends to the supreme position in the future.

At that time, Huo Jun might become my self-protection force.

If I am the one who wins in the end, I can also order Huo Jun to surrender to the court.

I am for the Cao family, I am for the Cao family...

His fists were slowly tightened, but the expression on his face became more and more complacent and stable.

"What Xiaochang said is that in the future... I will ask Xiaochang to persuade you a lot in the future."
