Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 490

Cao Cao's palace and harem, Xun Yu and Cao Pi came to visit him together, but Cao Cao didn't want to see him.Although he didn't want to see him, he could understand Xun Yu's good intentions and had to see him.

"Zihuan, you must be well aware of your brother's affairs. I don't want tricks to become a matter of destroying family affection, do you understand?" Cao Cao turned his face to Cao Pi, which was already his biggest concession.As a traitor with the world in mind, Cao Cao asked himself that this was the first time he had made concessions in so many years.

Even in the face of Han Wu, Cao Cao asked himself whether he was humble or arrogant.Although Han Wu lost face in that new city battle, it was a battle between equals.Now Cao Cao knows that if he continues to fight with his son Cao Pi, he may end up killing Zijian.

Xi Zhicai was also on the side, but he was sitting on the side reading the book of war, seemingly turning a deaf ear to it.

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Father, I don't understand what my father means, but I know that although Zijian lost Jingzhou, he shouldn't be punished as severely as a hundred officials have said. The official pleads for Zijian and forgives Zijian's mistakes."

After Cao Cao heard Cao Pi's words, he felt a little angry, but he was punished again.

Cao Pi has never confide in himself, and this is what Cao Cao fears most.His son and himself are hiding it, that is, there are other plans. Cao Cao is worried that he will have trouble with the same room in a hundred years.

Moreover, if they fight in the same room now, at most, both sides will suffer, but if Cao Cao is in a hundred years, everyone knows that Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang will undoubtedly die.

"Ling Jun has worked so hard, and Zhicai is tired, you all go back and rest!" Cao Cao prepared Cao Pi, so he let Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai leave first.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu are people who know Cao Cao well, and they left the room and the palace one after another.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said bluntly to Cao Pi: "Zihuan, if your younger brother Cao Chong is named as the patriarch of the Cao clan alone, what do you think?"

Interviewing his son from the side, Cao Cao wanted to know whether Cao Pi valued the crown prince of Qin State, or all the power that the Cao family and Xiahou family could control.

Cao Pi smiled slightly and replied: "The Cao family and Xiahou's family are of the same spirit. Naturally, the Cao family also needs someone with high morals to be in charge. The father is such a highly respected person, and now the Cao family is the only one who looks after the father."

Cao Cao snorted coldly and asked, "Then if Gu dies one day, who should be the head of the Cao family? Is it you, Cao Zihuan, or Gu's beloved Chong'er?"

The words were quite sharp, Cao Cao wanted to thoroughly understand what Cao Pi was thinking.

Cao Pi also saw that there was no one around, so he replied: "The Cao family and Xiahou's family are just aristocratic families. Although they are the clans of the father and sons, they are not court officials after all, let alone the lifeblood of Qin. The sons support Chong. As the patriarch of the Cao Clan, I just don’t know how my father will deal with Zijian.”

Also pressing his father, Cao Pi finally began to show his edge.

"Hey! Haha! I have grown up, my wings are hardened, and I dare to confront my old man. Not bad, not bad!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, and the laughter startled Bian who was walking into the room. Cao Cao will do this.

"That's right, it really is Gu's son! It's a pity that in this troubled world, compassion does not lead soldiers, and you won! Tomorrow, Gu will let Zijian go back to the fief, and come back once a quarter, which can be regarded as letting Gu and your mother take a look at it more." Son, go down!" Although Cao Cao felt very bitter, he was also very happy.Cao Cao was naturally delighted to see that Cao Pi had the courage to face himself.But Cao Pi is so fancy about the position of the King of Qin, his ambition has surpassed the family affection around him, which makes Cao Cao even more sad.

"My son will leave." Cao Pi neither agreed with his father's actions nor expressed dissatisfaction, but was as calm as a machine.

Mrs. Bian also sighed sadly, and when she saw Zihuan leave, she said, "Ah Man, don't you really plan to save Zijian? If you let him go to the fiefdom, who will protect him after a hundred years from you and me?" hold him?"

Cao Cao also sighed helplessly, feeling a little dizzy, so he could only sit down and rest.

"Zihuan, his grand plans and ambitions are still higher than mine, but it's a pity that Zihuan failed to inherit my magnanimity. Zihuan can't tolerate people, he can't tolerate Zijian. I can still protect Zijian for seven or eight years. Whether he can save his life in the future depends on Zijian's ability." Cao Cao sighed helplessly, he had nothing to do with his second son Cao Pi.

five days later

The news of Yang Xiu committing suicide by drinking poisoned alcohol in the ancestral land of Hongnong Yang's family traveled back to Chengdu, and Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After all, Yang Xiu chose to beg for death. He would rather die by himself than drag Cao Zhi down.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that he made Yang Xiu the Marquis of Hui, and at the same time asked Xi Zhicai to go to Yang Biao's mansion to appease him.

Cao Zhi cried bitterly after hearing the news, and his whole body was completely dazed and dull.

The person who is overjoyed is Cao Zhen. He knows that Yang Xiu is the only think tank around Cao Zhi. Now that Yang Xiu is dead, it means that Cao Zhi has lost his only sharp blade.Even if Cao Zhi wanted to fight for the crown prince, no one would help him.

Sima Yi hurriedly brought the battle situation in Jingzhou to the hall, sent it to Cao Pi and said: "Your Highness, the Jin army has withdrawn from Chu, and is now stationed in Xiangfan and blocking Dangyang City Pass. Now the state of Chu and Wu are completely cut off. Now that we have traveled by land, it seems that the next step is that Jin will send troops to our Great Qin!"

When Cao Pi heard Sima Yi say that Jin State would send troops to Qin State, his heart trembled slightly, and he asked, "Why does Zhongda think so? Is Jin State going to break the agreement and go to war again?"

"Your Highness, the agreement is just a piece of paper, and the state of Jin may not care about it. Moreover, I just discovered today that the state of Jin's mobilization of troops is flexible, but they all have one characteristic in common. Pulling out Xincheng and Zhuyang is to control the lifeline of Hanzhong. Zhang Liao stationed troops in Runan in order to capture Hefei and control the lifeline of Wu State. Xiangfan is already in the hands of Jin State, and the lifeline of Chu State in the north has been controlled by Jin State. Next , Jin will definitely place its forces on the lifeline of Yongliang and Great Qin, which is Xiabian City!" Sima Yi opened the topographic map in front of Cao Pi and pointed to the location of Xiabian.

Both Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu understood the art of war, and they were shocked after hearing Sima Yi's explanation.

If it is true what Sima Yi said, the state of Jin wants to control the lifeblood of Qin, Chu, and Wu, it means that the state of Jin will launch a war at any time in the future.

Once the initiative of the war is firmly in the hands of Jin, they will be impeccable no matter whether Jin wins or loses in the future war.

"The next debate...Yongliang! Okay, tomorrow I will go to Mr. Xi Zhicai to discuss this matter. The next debate is the most important thing, and there is no room for loss." Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, and he accepted Sima Yi's suggestion.
