What kind of temperament Cao Pi is, Cao Cao naturally knows it, but what Cao Pi said this time is also true, Zhuge Liang's army is only one-tenth of Cao Cao's, but he has captured several counties in the south of Cao Cao twice in a row, if Cao Cao is so indifferent, it will make the princes of the world have a lot of speculation about Cao Cao, especially on the occasion of Cao Cao's sixty years old.

In Cao Cao's heart, although he was no longer able to go to the conquest in person, whether it was to pass on the Wei state he had established in half his life to Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, he wanted to leave a stable regime for his son, rather than a shrinking Wei state.

"The reason why Zhuge Liang took the risk of attacking my mediocre land at this time is probably a helpless move......" Cao Cao thought about it, sighed softly, stood up and slowly walked to Cao Pi's side, Cao Pi, who was still on the ground with one hand, helped him up, and then sat directly on Cao Pi's side and explained to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi looked at his father who walked to his side from the opposite side, and for a while his heart was also full of mixed feelings, he felt for the first time that his father was really old, and his previous straight posture was now gone, and the once powerful palm on his body was also weak, before, Cao Pi had been looking forward to his father aging soon, because in the struggle between him and Cao Zhi, he had always had an advantage, but this time, he didn't know if there was no Cao Cao by his side, like Zhuge Liang, Liu Feng, Even a strong enemy like Sun Quan, can he resist it?

"The son doesn't know what his father means, and he hopes that his father will solve his doubts for the son." Finally, Cao Pi no longer cared about the impact of his previous failures on himself, nor did he try to change the topic, but really began to analyze why Zhuge Liang did this, but although he had some vague ideas in his heart, he still couldn't grasp the key to it, so he had to ask again.

Cao Cao saw that Cao Pi's eyes finally showed a trace of solemnity and clarity, and couldn't help but bow slightly, and then replied solemnly: "Then Zhuge Liang captured my Nanyang and other three counties before, in case of emergency, Zhang Fei was already sent to guard, and now there is only one Zhao Yun left under his command, and he should have guarded Xiangyang in case Liu Feng made a move, but Zhuge Liang was afraid that he could not expect that Liu Feng could suddenly get the land of Yizhou, Liu Feng won Yizhou, and then he could send troops from Badong or Fushui Pass, Both roads can take Xiangyang directly, but Zhuge Liang can only defend the city of Xiangyang, so that the initiative is all in the hands of Liu Feng, with Zhuge Liang's talent, how can he sit so still, at this time can sit in the land of Longwang Shu, only the mediocrity, if he gets the mediocrity, Zhuge Liang may be able to seize Hanzhong in the future, and then form a big threat to Liu Feng, but for Zhuge Liang, he is such a risky move, if he learns that Liu Feng has taken Hanzhong at this time, I don't know how he will feel......"

"Zhuge Liang is so jealous of Liu Feng, but my Wei State has an army of millions, why is Zhuge Liang not as jealous of us as Liu Feng?" Cao Pi listened to Cao Cao's words, although Cao Pi already had a lot of understanding of Liu Feng's ability at this time, but between not offending Cao Jun and fortifying Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang chose the latter, which made Cao Pi quite incomprehensible.

"Then Zhuge Liang must be gambling at this time that not only will I not be able to go out in person, but time is running out......"

"Smack!" After Cao Pi heard this, he slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and then stood up angrily and said to Cao Cao: "Zhuge Liang, how can he be so self-righteous, this time he didn't work for his father to go in person, and his son still led the remaining 60,000 horses to Shangyong, and if he didn't take Shangyong back, he swore not to return!" ”

This time, Cao Pi is no longer to escape the responsibility of his defeat, but really wants to regain Shangyong in the hands of Zhuge Liang, Liu Feng has brought so much shame to Cao Pi, he is already determined to find it back in the hands of Zhuge Liang.

"It is not difficult to recapture the mediocrity, but the mediocre land, even if it is recaptured, now Xiangyang and Nanyang are all obtained by Zhuge Liang, and the mediocrity is left to Zhuge Liang and Liu Feng to compete with each other. Cao Cao rejected Cao Pi's request at this time.

"Then you are so conniving with Zhuge Liang? If he gets the mediocrity today, what if he goes to the land of Yongzhou tomorrow? Obviously, Cao Pi did not recommend letting Zhuge Liang conquer the territory of Wei like this.

"I only said that I can't work hard for a mediocre place, but the land of Nanyang and Runan can't let Zhuge Liang get it for a long time, at this time, Zhang Feizheng under Zhuge Liang is leading an army of about 30,000 to guard Nanyang, I don't know about this, Zihuan is interested?"

Cao Cao smiled slightly at this time, said what he thought in his heart, and looked at Cao Pi with some interest, waiting for his answer.

Obviously, this is another test for Cao Cao for Cao Pi, Cao Pi is also clear in his heart, if an enemy like Liu Feng is too strong, Cao Zhi just guessed Liu Feng's toughness, if Cao Zhi really let the army go to Hanzhong, Cao Zhi will probably not be able to capture Hanzhong, but if he leads an army of 60,000 and several generals to face Zhang Fei's 30,000 horses, and he has no intention of calculating and can't win, Cao Pi's ability to command the army is really a problem.

"Erchen should do his best!" Although in his heart, Cao Pi had some complaints about Cao Cao's never asking Cao Zhi to lead the army to the battle, but he did not express it, but only responded in a deep voice.

"Zihuan is wondering in his heart, why Zijian can be free in Yecheng every day, but you can't help but lead the army to recruit, once defeated, you will lose power in the army." Suddenly, Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi with very sharp eyes and asked this.

Cao Pi never thought that Cao Cao would ask each other like this when there were only father and son, and shook his head again and again: "Erchen never thought like this, it is the fate of Erchen to lead troops to make contributions to my Wei State, and it has nothing to do with others!" ”

"Such assurances are easy to say, but do you know why I have learned so much about you?" Cao Cao didn't pay attention to Cao Pi's words, and asked again.

"Erchen, I don't know ......"

"Everyone knows, among the many children, only Zihuan is the most similar to me, since it is the most similar, what you think, I can naturally know that if Zijian becomes the lord of Wei in the future, it is likely that you can ensure your glory, if Zihuan becomes the lord of Wei......"
