Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 388 The Controversy Between the Sons ([-])
"Second son, the prime minister asked me to invite you to Dali Temple for tea, please!" Xu Chu rushed into Cao Pi's mansion with his troops, and yelled at Cao Pi directly in the hall.

Both Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu knew that Xu Chu was a ruthless person, so they didn't dare to make a sound and could only listen.

Instead, Cao Pi smiled gratifiedly, and he took the initiative to walk towards Xu Chu without any resistance.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao sat on the same level as the emperor, glaring at all the officials angrily.

"The minister Liu Ba begged the prime minister to deal with it impartially, released the school lieutenant Cao Pi, and awarded him a reward. Cao Pi has made meritorious service to the court, and he borrowed troops from Zhangxiu to raid Tianshui, so he should not be sent to the prison of Dali Temple."

"Minister Zhang Song seconded the proposal, the prime minister handled it fairly, and should not blame Second Young Master Cao."

"My minister Wu Yi seconded the proposal, and the prime minister should let Cao Pi go."

"Chen... Cai Mao seconded the proposal. The prime minister should consider the overall situation and the military spirit, release the second son and give him a reward."

"Chen Caihe seconded the proposal."

"Chen Cai Yang seconded the proposal."

……

Hundreds of court officials pleaded for Cao Pi one after another, almost all of them were courtiers of Jingzhou faction and Xishu faction.

The courtiers Cao Cao brought from the Central Plains hardly spoke, and they did not express any opinions on this.

Yuan Shao squinted his eyes, he glanced at Baiguan, he fully understood the position of Baiguan!
Officials from the Jingzhou faction and the Xishu faction accounted for half the number of officials in the court, and with the addition of his own civil servants, counselors and neutral faction, the number of officials who supported Cao Ang was less than one-fifth.

Cao Ang is the eldest son, and within two years, many officials are inclined to Cao Pi.

Although this time Cao Pi really didn't have a big crime, at most he hid armored soldiers privately, this matter can be big or small.

Loyal and upright officials naturally adhere to what they think in their hearts, but most people still support Cao Pi.

Even Cao Cao didn't realize that the situation had developed to such a scary level!
His son Cao Pi actually controlled so many courtiers behind his back, and he didn't show off the mountain or leak the water.

"Report to the Prime Minister! Minister, there is a table to play."

Xun Yu took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and stood up.

When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu, an old courtier who had followed him for so many years, stand up openly, he was shocked and stood up from his seat.

"What memorial does Xun Lingjun have, tell me!"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, he was worried that Xun Yu would now categorically support Cao Pi's release.

If this is the case, his eldest son will completely lose all possibility of competing for the position of the eldest son.

[-]% of the courtiers support Cao Pi, [-]% to [-]% of the clan support Cao Pi, and even generals who are not from the Cao family support him by [-]% to [-]%!If it weren't for Cao Pi being too active this time and exposing the number of private soldiers, Cao Cao really didn't realize this.

Xun Yu handed the bamboo slips up to the eunuch, holding the wat board in his hand, and said: "Chen Bing, the leader of Wuxi Man in Jiaozhou, is in Wuling County. Twenty thousand troops are trying to disturb Wuling. Meng Huo, the leader of Nanman, led 36 cave masters to raise [-] troops. Chen Bing Jiangling threatened to invade Yizhou."

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, the entire court was in complete chaos.

Hundreds of officials chattered, and they all started to make gestures, making the situation even more chaotic.

"My God! [-] barbarians raided the southern part of Yizhou. This is a crisis in the rear!"

"That's right, there are no generals and troops to send out in Chengdu now, and there is no food or grass! How can this be good, what should be good!"

"There are not enough troops, but there are still more than [-] recruits. There are also generals, and it is Mr. Cao Pi! Mr. Cao Pi is currently being imprisoned, and the prime minister is asked to release the second son."

"That's right! The leader of the Nanman, Meng Huo, and the leader of the Wuxi Man, Shamoke, were both suppressed by Mr. Cao Pi himself. If Mr. Cao Pi sends troops again this time, he will be able to suppress the rebellion."

"Prime Minister, let the Second Young Master go!"

……

For a while, there was chaos in the court, and Cao Cao had a headache.

"Wen Ruo, you're cruel enough! You didn't plead for Cao Pi on the surface, but you achieved the desired effect without moving like a mountain. It's amazing!"

Cao Cao sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Xun Yu to really support Cao Pi.

Perhaps it was Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao's officials who gave Xun Yu the confidence that he would assist a man who had no ambition to become emperor but could restore the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao can pacify the world, but he has great power and no one can control him.I feel that Xun Yu understands that Cao Pi has ambitions, but he has no ambition to become emperor!Starting to help Cao Pi now, Xun Yu thought it was worth fighting for.

Yang Xiu stroked his eyebrows, stood up and said, "Prime Minister, you don't have to worry about the barbarians in the south. The eldest son Cao Ang can be the commander, the third son Cao Zhang can be the vanguard, and the fourth son Cao Zhi can stabilize the logistics. I also ask the prime minister to order that the three Young Master, go south together to quell the rebellion."

Yang Xiu, who has always been resourceful, wants to turn the tide this time and restrain Cao Pi.

Cao Cao was overjoyed immediately. Just as he was about to give the order, Cao Zhen took over and shouted, "Prime Minister, I have something to say. Sha Moke and Meng Huo are both desperate people, and their martial arts are even more extraordinary. If the three sons An accident occurred during the Southern Expedition...the prime minister, please think twice."

Cruel enough, vicious enough!

Cao Zhen is so ruthless. In order to fight for Cao Pi's interests, he is not afraid to face Cao Cao.

Sima Yi secretly gave Cao Zhen a thumbs up, and Fazheng also admired Cao Zhen.

This is blatantly threatening the prime minister.

Most officials present knew well that Sha Moke and Meng Huo were Cao Pi's foreign aid forces.

The connotation of the words of Cao Zhen's heart is: If the prime minister does not let Cao Pi go, and insists on letting the other three princes lead troops south, then they will not be able to come back!

Cao Zhen directly replaced Cao Pi's vassals with a showdown to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao couldn't break out yet.

"Ha, hahaha! Hahahaha! Interesting, really interesting! Draft an imperial decree and announce to the world that the prime minister will conquer Sha Moke and Meng Huo himself. I will also bring Cao Ang, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi! I want to see, Meng What are the abilities of Huo and Shamoke? Yu Jin is the vanguard, Li Dian is the commander of the Chinese army, Cao Ang and Cao Zhi are in charge of logistics, and the troops will be dispatched in three days! Retire!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he got up and left directly.

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth, Cao Xiu also sighed helplessly, and patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder a few times.

The prime minister was angry, he wanted his son to "declare war"!
Cao Zhen and Sima Yi met each other's eyes, and their eyes showed unanimous determination.

"Sima Yi, that's ruthless!"

"Cao Zhen, you will be my opponent for life!"

It was rare for the two of them to reach a consensus because of the same thing at this moment.They smiled at each other and left the hall.

In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao secretly found Xun Yu, planning to hand over everything he had left Chengdu to him.

Now the counselors around me are only Li Ru, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu who can be absolutely trusted!
Xun Yu showed a fierce look, and said, "Mr. Cao, if the Second Young Master intends to rebel, kill him or not."

Cao Cao was expressionless, and after a while of silence, he said, "Your Majesty."

A sentence from the king is enough to represent Cao Cao's meaning.

And this sentence "the emperor himself" also made Xun Yu completely understand that it means that Cao Cao has already decided on the candidate for the position of son!
And this time the matter is serious, Xun Yu can't be biased, it must be for the overall situation, let alone Cao Pi.
