Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 548 Pi Chong's Resoluteness (Part [-])
A few days later, in Guandu's Cao camp, countless rumors spread inexplicably.

"Have you heard? The Wu army in Xuzhou has been completely defeated."

"Yes! I also heard that the Shu army was also defeated by the Xiliang Tianshui generation, and suffered heavy losses."

"No way! If it's not the five kingdoms, then there are only three kingdoms left."

"It's not the Three Kingdoms, there are only two countries, and the Zhao Kingdom in Hanzhong is not worth mentioning at all."

I saw the soldiers in the camp discussing in low voices in groups of three or four, all with a bit of uneasiness in their eyes, the five kingdoms were defeated one by one, how can they stop Wei Qi now.

"There is another news. It is said that King Qi is critically ill, and he wants to summon the army of Qi to go back quickly." At this time, another soldier broke out an astonishing news, which immediately set off a bigger storm.

But at this time, in Cao Ying's king's tent, I saw Cao Cao lying on the couch, crying with pain all over his face: "The lonely head seems to be about to explode!"

A medical officer next to Cao Cao held a bowl of decoction in his hand and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it might be better to drink it."

Cao Cao immediately took it and drank it in one gulp, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and he still had a headache.

Not far away, Cao Pi, Cao Chong, and civil and military officials at all levels showed deep worries. Ever since he received Xu Huang's letter, the defeat of the Shu Kingdom, and the news that Liu Biao was about to die of illness, Cao Cao suddenly had a headache and became more and more worried. It is so serious that it has almost reached the point where the medical stone is useless.

They all knew that Cao Cao was forced into this situation by the situation in front of him, especially Wu and Qi were the strongest supporters among the five countries, but now Wu was defeated, Qi was in chaos, and the alliance of five countries The situation seems to be falling apart.

After "Gongda" was in pain for a while, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and shouted with difficulty.

"The Great King" Xun You immediately knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

"Quickly go and see, Qi State must not withdraw its troops. Once it withdraws, everything will be over. Yuan Xi will surely sweep across the Central Plains, and even reach the Changjiang River. It is impossible for Qi State to survive," Cao Cao said anxiously.

"promise!"

"Father" Cao Chong stood up at this time and said seriously: "In this situation, I feel that besides this, we must prevent the Kuai and Cai clans from joining Yuan Xi."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

Cao Cao's pupils shrank. Cao Chong was right. Both the Kuai and Cai clans were big clans in Jingzhou. Even Liu Biao couldn't underestimate their rights. If Liu Biao was still alive, they could still be suppressed. They took it into account, because in their hearts, the status of the family was far higher than that of the dynasty. Now that Dayan has the absolute upper hand, the two of them are very likely to rebel, and the whole family will submit to Dayan to keep their glory and wealth.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao coughed violently.

"Father" Cao Pi and Cao Chong shouted worriedly.

"Gongda, go and stabilize them!" Cao Cao shouted.

"No!" Xun You rushed out immediately.

"This can't go on like this, Your Majesty must rest, otherwise" the medical officer on the side hesitated to speak anxiously.

"Rest..." Everyone was stunned, how could they rest at this moment, Yuan Xi pressed on every step of the way, and wanted the king's life!

Everyone in the world knows that the only one who can stop Yuan Xi a little bit is the king. Once the king leaves, there will be no one in the whole world who can stop Yuan Xi's progress.

Seeing this scene, Cao Chong suddenly clenched his fists tightly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

When everyone left the king's tent in confusion, Cao Chong suddenly dragged Cao Pi to a secluded place.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Cao Pi asked suspiciously.

"Second brother, now that my father is seriously ill, the situation has reached the point where my Cao family lives and dies. If we don't do anything, our Cao family's great career will definitely be wiped out!" Cao Chong said seriously.

"Of course I know this, but I can't help it!" Cao Pi sighed.

"Second brother, I just said frankly today that I really wanted to fight for the position of the son, but if Yuan Xi wins, then everything is meaningless. I decided to use all the masters in the school office under my second brother's hands to assassinate Yuan Xi. "Cao Chong said resolutely.

"What?" Cao Pi was startled, and quickly said, "How is this possible?"

"Now I can only take a risk. Ordinary generals probably don't have the guts. But father's important general must not sacrifice in vain, because only my younger brother will go," Cao Chong said firmly.

Cao Pi's face froze, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Fourth brother, don't go, you are smarter than the second brother, this time I will let you go."

"No! Second brother, you must not go, because you are the eldest son of the Cao family. If the younger brother fails, what the Cao family needs is not grand plans and great achievements, but to preserve as much as possible, and this is far better than that of the younger brother. I love you, because I have too many so-called ambitions in my heart, which will really harm the Cao family," Cao Chong said sincerely.

When the "fourth brother" heard this, Cao Pi showed surprise on his face, as if he couldn't believe that this was said by his extremely smart fourth brother.

"Second brother, in fact, my younger brother's intelligence is based on the great cause of the Cao family. Because our father is the king of Wei, everyone will take a high look at it. Without this, my younger brother is nothing at all. Seeing my father Now that I am like this, my heart feels distressed, thinking about what a hero my father was, but I never thought that I would be forced to this point. My brother is willing to use his life to make the last fight for his father. As long as Yuan Xi dies, Daddy Even if Yan is strong, it will surely fall apart," Cao Chong said with tears in his eyes.

Cao Pi's eyes were fixed, and then he grabbed Cao Chong's arm and said softly, "Fourth brother, the life and death of the Cao family cannot be entrusted to you alone. Second brother will go with you."

"Second Brother" Cao Chong said in surprise.

"Fourth brother, there is one thing you misunderstood, that is, Yuan Xi will never show mercy to the Cao family, whether it is brother or you. The Cao family is even more so, so if he does not die, we will never live," Cao Pi said seriously.

"Second brother, why are you so sure?" Cao Chong said unexpectedly.

"Because if it's the second brother, he will definitely do this," Cao Pi said directly without hesitation.

Cao Chong's heart trembled, the second brother who was hiding finally showed his fangs.

"Fourth brother, you and I will fight for the great cause of the Cao family and for the father. Let's sit down and fight for the last time. Although the country is heavy, filial piety must not be forgotten," Cao Pi said softly.

"Okay" Cao Chong nodded heavily.

The two brothers immediately walked towards the distance hand in hand, their backs looked so firm and desolate.

And on this day, in the distant Jiaozhou Bay of Qingzhou Prefecture, hundreds of seafalcon warships had already set sail, and a huge number of soldiers stood on the deck, on top of a huge warship at the front. , Ma Zhong stood proudly, and said with a serious face: "Send the order, advance at full speed, and within three days, you must resist Langye."

"promise!"

Ma Zhong immediately looked at the blue sea in front of him, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I will live up to my trust, break through the state capital, assist the marshal, and recover the entire Xuzhou."
