Chapter 458: Cao Xiu returns
The news of Cao Pi's death swept away like a storm, and in less than half a day, almost everyone already knew about it.
Under Liu Bei's intentional arrangement, the version of this matter was characterized as Liu Bei caught Cao Pi, but was assassinated by the Chu army!
Such news also appeared in Sima Yi's ears.
At this moment, Sima Yi is about to reach the front line in Hanzhong.
They are now only a few dozen miles away from their destination.
I thought that my reaction was fast enough, but I didn't expect to get the news of Cao Pi's death before I came back.
Sima Yi locked himself in the big tent and didn't come out for half a day.
Although many generals were in a hurry, they had no choice.
It was at this time that Cao Xiu appeared outside the camp like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
"General Cao, can you come back....." Many generals instantly surrounded him.
It's just that Cao Xiu didn't pay attention to them at all, and walked straight towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
Without reporting or speaking, Cao Xiu walked straight into the big tent.
His expression was always cold, even when he saw Sima Yi, he looked like this.
"You know everything?"
Sima Yi, who was sitting in the tent, saw Cao Xiu, who was full of murderous energy, and asked quietly.
"I'm only concerned about one thing, what are you going to do now?"
Cao Xiu took a deep breath and stared at Sima Yi with his eyes.
In his opinion, the current supreme commander of the Wei army is Sima Yi.
His words and deeds now represent the attitude of Da Wei.
And the most important thing he should do now is to immediately raise troops and avenge Cao Pi!
"Rest for the day and go back!" Sima Yi's voice was very calm, as if this incident had not happened.
"What did you say?" Cao Xiu's face became even more gloomy.
The murderous aura emanating from him became more and more intense.
"What's your opinion?"
"I'll give you a chance, say it all over again!" Cao Xiu's right hand slowly touched the saber on his waist.
As long as this Sima Yi dares to say more, he promises that he will make a move.
"Presumptuous!"
Sima Yi slapped the table in front of him and stood up suddenly.
"Cao Xiu, do you know who you're talking to right now? With your attitude, can I kill you believe it or not? ”
"I don't care what your identity is, I only know one thing now, Your Majesty is dead, as the first priority of a courtier, I want to avenge him!"
Cao Xiu's eyes were red, and the knuckles of his right knuckles, which were tightly gripping the sword, had turned white.
"I don't want to tell you more, and I don't bother to tell you! You want revenge, feel free ...."
"You wait!"
Cao Xiu glared at Sima Yi fiercely and left angrily.
Until Cao Xiu left for a long time, Sima Yi still stood in place.
He didn't know how to tell Cao Xiu, and he couldn't understand what he said.
Sima Yi only knows now that Cao Pi is dead, and the country is about to start to turmoil.
And whether it was Xu Tian behind him or Liu Bei in front, they were very happy to see this scene.
This is their most dangerous time, if he impulsively goes for revenge at this time, once there is any mistake, it will really be difficult to recover.
He didn't dare to gamble!
The only thing that can be done now is to bring this small remaining army back to Great Wei in its entirety.
Only in this way can we ensure the unshakable foundation of Wei to the greatest extent.
Cao Xiu will not understand these truths.
He had been blinded by anger, and even if he did, it would be in vain.
As for the news that Liu Bei deliberately disseminated, Sima Yi would not care about it.
This childish method is not worth mentioning at all in his seriousness, and is even ridiculous.
Taking a deep breath, Sima Yi slowly walked out of the big tent.
This half a day was enough time for him to think about some things clearly.
But.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he was taken aback.
Cao Xiu, who was originally angry and left, was standing quietly in front of the big tent at the moment, silently looking ahead with his hands behind his back.
Looking at him, he was very calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
"You...."Sima Yi hesitated, he felt as if he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.
"Do you think that now I should be leading people and rushing to the Han army camp frantically?"
Cao Xiu slowly turned his head and looked at Sima Yi very calmly and said.
At this moment, Sima Yi didn't understand it even more, this was not like Cao Xiu's style at all.
"It seems that the King of Chu really understands you, and so far, everything he said has come true!" Cao Xiu looked at Sima Yi's gaze, looking a little playful.
"You were arrested by the King of Chu?" Sima Yi's eyes flashed.
"Yes! Later let me come back! ”
"You surrendered?" Sima Yi suddenly pulled out his long sword and put it directly on Cao Xiu's neck.
"Do you believe it?" Cao Xiu's face did not change and his heart did not beat, he still looked like he was smiling.
Sima Yi was silent.
After a long time, he slowly put down the long sword in his hand, and looked at Cao Xiu's gaze, which was not so sharp.
"Isn't it possible that if I had been explaining just now, you would have killed me right away?"
"This is also what the King of Chu told you?"
"Yes!"
Sima Yi is as calm as water on the surface, but his heart has already set off stormy waves.
He really didn't expect that this Xu Tian would be so terrifying.
The two of them had met once, and it was when they were in Xudu many years ago.
Sima Yi even remembered that at that time, Xu Tian rode on a horse and said to himself: "Do it yourself!" ”
Unexpectedly, now they have already started to fight.
"Tell me, what does he want?" Sima Yi didn't plan to ask Xu Tian how he designed all this.
Now knowing this, it doesn't matter anymore.
"Deal with Liu Bei!" Cao Xiu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"I see!" Sima Yi nodded and took a deep breath: "Originally, this Xu Tian was taking advantage of the contradiction between us and Liu Bei to design to capture His Majesty.
As a result, I didn't expect that this Liu Bei would directly kill His Majesty and lead the disaster to him.
At such a time, Liu Bei has become his biggest threat, and at the same time, he also understands that His Majesty's death is a great hatred for us.
That's why the King of Chu released you back and asked us to join forces with him, right? ”
This whole process is also something that Sima Yi has just figured out.
In fact, when Cao Xiu appeared, he was already thinking about this problem.
It's just that he didn't understand the reason why this Xu Tian wanted to join forces with them before.
"Things are basically the same as you said, this Xu Tian is now in the same boat as us!
So, there shouldn't be any problems with this matter! Cao Xiu nodded and said.
In fact, both Sima Yi and Xu Tian made Cao Xiu feel frightened.
They are always able to reason out everything that is reasonable when they seem to know nothing....
