Cao Pi killed Yuan Tan and met with Yecheng.

Already knowing the whole process, Cao Cao was very satisfied with his leading troops this time.

The back house of Yecheng originally belonged to Yuan Shao's study.

Holding a book and looking at it casually, Cao Cao didn't raise his head, and asked Cao Pi who was standing in front of him, "Who killed Yuan Tan?" ”

"It's General Cao Chun." Cao Pi replied: "I killed my eldest brother and mother-in-law earlier, and if I kill his wife and uncle again, I am afraid that he will hold even more grudges." In order to avoid the brotherly relationship being affected, I can only let General Cao Chun do it. ”

"I told Cao Chun before you set out on the expedition that you don't need to leave a living mouth to capture Yuan Tan." Cao Cao said: "Yuan Tan has been broken, and the areas around Jizhou and Yanzhou have also belonged to our Cao family. ”

"And Qingzhou." Cao Pi said: "Although the eldest brother occupied it, after all, it still belongs to the Cao family. ”

"You're right." Cao Cao asked, "You have a meritorious service in defeating Yuan Tan, how do you plan to reward me?" ”

"Children dare not ask for a reward." Cao Pi said very well-behaved: "As long as I can follow my father and share my father's worries at all times." ”

"It's rare that you have this mind." Cao Cao nodded: "I plan to write to Your Majesty and ask him to make you a general with five senses." ”

"The middle general of the facial features?" Cao Pi was stunned.

Cao Cao continued: "General Wuguan Zhonglang leads the Tiger Ben Army, and he is the direct guard of His Majesty's side. You don't have to be by my side, you will go to Xudu, and you can do whatever you have to do. ”

"Father means ......" I never thought that Cao Cao would give him such an important position, Cao Pi asked in amazement.

"I mean, you'll have to learn from the son." Cao Cao said: "Zirong has been crowned king, you are also my son, I don't ask you to be crowned king, let alone accumulate the military merits of a feudal marquis." ”

"Father, rest assured, the child will live up to expectations!" Cao Pi hurriedly responded.

Leaving Cao Cao's study and returning to his residence, Wu Zhen was waiting there.

Seeing Cao Pi coming back, Wu Zhen stepped forward and said, "How is the son?" What reward did Cao Gong give? ”

"There is no gold, silver, pearl and jade." Cao Pi said: "My father just promised to give me a general with five senses, and let me take on Xu Duquan." ”

"The middle general of the facial features?" Wu Zhen was very surprised and asked, "Such an important position, Cao Gong actually gave it to Gongzi?" ”

"I also wonder how my father would give me this position." Cao Pi said: "Even if I have military merits, I will not be able to be the commander of the military guards around His Majesty." ”

"Aren't the commanders of the military guards around Your Majesty all soldiers of the Cao family?" Wu Zhen said disapprerovingly: "It doesn't matter if you're by Your Majesty's side or not. The important thing is that Xu is the foundation of the Cao family, Cao Gong recruited troops in Chenliu back then, and later welcomed His Majesty to Xudu, and since then he has regarded it as a foundation. Now that Cao Gong has handed over Xu Du to Gongzi, it can be seen that he has the intention to support Gongzi. ”

"What do you mean......" Cao Pi asked uncertainly, "I may ...... with my eldest brother"

"Childe thinks too much." Wu Zhen said: "Gong Cao's support for you is nothing more than one purpose, which is to tell the eldest prince that he should act more restrainedly. ”

"The eldest brother doesn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary." Cao Pi said: "How could my father have such thoughts? ”

"Although the eldest son hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, after all, he is too powerful now." Wu Zhen asked Cao Pi: "Dare to ask Gongzi, is there a map here?" ”

"Where do you want a map?" Cao Pi asked.

"Preferably a map of the entire Central Plains." Wu Zhen replied.

"Earlier, my eldest brother gave my father a map, and my father asked him to copy it and gave me a copy." Cao Pi said: "I'll let people get it." ”

He commanded outside the house, "Fetch my map." ”

The guards outside the door answered, and it didn't take long for them to arrive with a map in hand.

Unfolding the map, Cao Pi asked Wu, "What does Duke Wu want the map for?" ”

"Tell me about the world's major events for my son." Wu Zhen smiled slightly, took the map and unfolded it on the table.

He asked Cao Pi, "Does the prince know what the eldest son's territory is now?" ”

"Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Huainan and Lujiang counties." Cao Pi replied.

"Huainan and Lujiang belong to the Yangzhou Thorn History Department." Wu Zhen said: "Now Yangzhou is mostly in the hands of the Sun family in Jiangdong, and it is unlikely that Yangzhou will be annexed within three or five years." If the eldest son wants to sit firmly in the east, there is still a place to take. ”

"Where?" Cao Pi asked.

"Here!" Wu Zhen pointed to Youzhou on the map and said, "The eldest prince will definitely ask Cao Gong for this." ”

"Youzhou connects Liaodong and Qingzhou." Cao Pi said: "In this way, the eldest brother's territory will surround the Central Plains. ”

"This is the intention of the eldest son." Wu Zhen said: "Once he gets Youzhou, it will not be easy for the son to achieve great things in the future." ”

"So I can't let him get it?" Cao Pi asked.

"Quite the opposite." Wu Zhen said: "It's better not to be easy than not having a chance at all." ”

"I don't quite understand what that means?" Cao Pi was a little confused.

"How much strength does Childe have to compete with the eldest son now?" Wu asked.

Cao Pi replied very simply: "Not at all, the eldest brother wants to pinch me to death, it's as simple as pinching an ant to death." ”

"There's a saying that Childe may not like it." Wu Zhen said.

"Just say anything." Cao Pi said: "We are not outsiders, there is no need to hide it. You know, your accomplishments are linked to me. If you don't help me, no one else will be able to make you soar. ”

"I understand what Childe means." Wu Zhi responded.

He then said to Cao Pi: "What I want to tell Gongzi is that you must not offend the eldest prince now, he wants Youzhou, and Gongzi not only can't be hindered from it, but should help him." ”

"Why?" Cao Pi asked.

"The reason is simple." Wu Zhen replied: "Just because we are not the opponent of the eldest prince now, if the prince assists him in getting Youzhou, and when the prince returns to Xudu to lead Yuzhou, will the eldest prince still be difficult with you?" ”

"The eldest brother should remember the eldest lady the most." Cao Pi said: "I am in charge of the military affairs of Yuzhou, and the eldest lady is in my hands, so he has to ......."

"Childe still thinks too much." Wu Zhen shook his head and said, "Although Duke Cao will not bring His Majesty to Yecheng, the family members of the Hou Mansion will all be brought here." As the head of the back house, the eldest lady will of course come to Yecheng. ”

"Then what's the use of me asking for Yuzhou?" Cao Pi was a little disappointed.

Wu Zhen replied: "The eldest son has today, and he also left Xudu to go to Huainan at the beginning. Cao Gong gave Gongzi Yuzhou, can't Gongzi gather strategists and fierce generals with the power of a state, in order to compete with the eldest son in the future? 2k reading network
