Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 The Controversy Between the Sons ([-])

At Cao Pi's mansion in Chengdu, he wandered eagerly, not knowing what to do.

The soldiers guarding the city were his father's confidantes, but they refused to let him out of the city, but let Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu go.

Moreover, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu were still sent out to escort the hoarded grain and grass in Hanzhong to Shangyong. This purpose is obvious.

"Zidan, Wen Lie, what do you mean father? It's fine if he doesn't let me out of the city, but he won't let my brother out of the city!"

"In this way, Zijian will definitely win over Yuan Shao before my elder brother and I, and the important officials of the Han Dynasty will support Cao Zhi in the future! Cao Zhi is just a sour Confucian who is good at writing articles. How can he inherit the position of son? If I lose to my elder brother, I will bear it, but if I lose to Cao Zhi, it is absolutely impossible!"

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are also a little anxious, they both want Cao Pi to get more benefits.

But there was nothing they could do, because Xu Chu was the main defender of the city, and he was a guy who only listened to the prime minister's orders and didn't recognize his relatives.

Sima Yi knelt aside and smiled, he didn't seem in any hurry.

Cao Zhen noticed that Sima Yi and Fazheng were not in a hurry, so he angrily went over to pat their table.

"Can you still sit still? What are you all doing? Don't you know that Yang Xiu took Cao Zhi out of the city? If they were allowed to win over Yuan Shao, then the important officials of the Han Dynasty would support Cao Zijian! Yang Xiu's father was Yang Biao, and he It's too easy to win over courtiers!"

"Sima Yi, if you don't think of a way for Zihuan, I'll kill you!"

The more Cao Zhen spoke, the angrier he got, he pulled out a long sword from a guard's waist and put it on Sima Yi's neck.

Cao Pi was taken aback, and quickly shouted: "Zi Dan, don't be rude! Wen Lie, pull him away!"

Cao Xiu quickly hugged Cao Zhen's shoulders and kept him away from Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was also taken aback by Cao Zhen, he quickly stepped back to calm down.

Fazheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also worried that Cao Zhen, a reckless guy, would harm Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was blinded and drooled, so he could only quickly say: "General Cao, don't worry, it's a good thing for the Prime Minister to let Cao Zhi out of the city!"

"Even if the prime minister let Cao Zhi out of the city, so what? Although the prime minister has a good relationship with Yuan Shao, we are not children. How can a mere childhood affection compare to the interests of the court?"

"The prime minister must use Yuan Shao to control the courtiers of the Han Dynasty. Even if Cao Zhi wins over Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao still needs to act according to the prime minister's mind."

"The prime minister is just trying to shuffle the cards for the eldest son, the second son, and Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi is the weakest, so the prime minister wants to train Mr. Cao Zhi so that he can compete with the second son and the first son!"

"But as long as Cao Zhi has no military power, the two generals try their best to squeeze out Cao Zhang and win over Cao's family members. The eldest son Cao Ang's military power will be reduced, and the position of the son will naturally be in the hands of the second son! Now that the prime minister is not the gate of the city, the second son is not allowed. Going out of the city, why don't we take this opportunity to visit General Xiahou Dun who just came back, wouldn't it be better?"

Sima Yi quickly expressed his thoughts to calm down Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen glanced at Cao Pi, and after seeing him, asked him what he meant.

Cao Pi also nodded, obviously agreeing with Sima Yi's point of view.

"Okay! I remember when Uncle Xia Houyuan will come back, and they should be able to enter Sichuan within three days. When Yuan Shao comes, we have to be ready!"

Cao Zhen sighed, and threw the long sword in his hand to the guards beside him.

three days later

Cao Cao personally led some officials to wait for Yuan Shao outside Chengdu. He really hoped to see his friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Yuan Shao had already woken up on the official road to Sichuan. When he learned that Hongnong had been captured, he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

Seeing his youngest son filially preparing a handkerchief for him to wipe his sweat, Yuan Shaocai felt much more comfortable.

Yuan Shaocai couldn't help sighing with emotion when he learned from his counselors that Wuguan was conquered after he vomited blood and fell into a coma. The three counselors asked Xiahouyuan for help.

In the end he accepted the reality, and there was really no way to surrender Cao Cao.

It's just that the Wu Pass was conquered, and the three counselors asked Xia Houyuan for help, but Xu You and the others became nonsense and lied to Yuan Shao.

After all, they couldn't tell that they contacted Xia Houyuan on their own initiative and offered Hongnong City.

After crossing the plank road and about to reach the outside of Chengdu, Yuan Shao was also a little nervous.

Although he was nervous, he was not at all worried that Cao Cao would kill him.

Yuan Shao knew Cao Cao well, he knew that the reason why this guy asked Xia Houyuan to send him to Chengdu was to use him to control the veterans of the Han Dynasty!

Cao Cao asked the soldiers to line up to beat the drums and blow away the musical instruments. It was almost like a princely etiquette to welcome Yuan Shao.

Xia Houyuan rode his horse at the front of the convoy. His eyes were already darkened, and he could not close his eyes for several nights.

From the raid on Hongnong to Xingye taking Yuan Shao back to Hanzhong, and then entering Sichuan, Xia Houyuan marched in a hurry.

Although the soldiers under his command changed batch after batch in various places, he alone did not rest.

Cao Cao excitedly watched the carriage approaching him, and finally he trotted all the way to meet him.

Xia Houyuan immediately ordered to stop advancing, got off his horse and prepared to report the situation to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knew that Xia Houyuan must be very exhausted, so he immediately said: "Zihuan, take your uncle Miaocai to the city to rest, I want to meet Yuan Benchu ​​in person!"

Cao Pi and Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen behind him were taken aback for a moment, and they looked angrily at Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu in the convoy.

Obviously, they did not go to deliver food and grass to Shangyong, but to Xincheng!

And it is estimated that Cao Zhi has already won over Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao didn't even give Cao Pi a chance.

Sima Yi coughed lightly, and hurriedly said to Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu: "You two generals, don't be in a hurry. Now is the best chance to win over General Xia Houyuan. We must grasp the immediate interests and don't go after illusory things."

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi also nodded, and immediately responded to his father.

Walking to Xia Houyuan, Cao Pi said: "Uncle Miaocai, come with me into the city, I will send you back to sleep first. Tonight, my nephew will clean up the dust for you. This time uncle has made a great contribution, and I will also do it for you in front of my father." Please reward me a lot."

Cao Pi hurriedly helped Xia Houyuan into the carriage, and he and Cao Zhen drove Xia Houyuan himself.

Cao Xiu and Sima Yi got on their horses, followed the carriage, and escorted Xia Houyuan into the city.

Cao Hong also rode his horse to see Xia Houyuan off. Even Cao Ren hesitated for a moment, glanced at Meng De, and then rode his horse back to the city.

Only Xiahoudun remained by his side, and Cao Cao was shocked in his heart!
"Although Miaocai returned to the city, Zixiao made friends with him, and it's okay to give it away. I didn't expect Zilian to be so proactive. Zihuan is really capable!"

"If Yuan Rang is brought in again, I will be intimidated when I set up an heir in the future. The Cao family and Xiahou's family are my roots. It seems that I have to find a way to clear Zihuan Qing's cards!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart.

But he immediately got off his horse and ran forward excitedly.

Because Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao getting off the carriage with the support of his son, but he looked a lot older.

The only foundation was lost, and Yuan Shao looked a little old, which was normal.

After all, no prince would be willing to commit himself to others, let alone a figure like Yuan Shao who once dominated the [-] princes!
