Hua Xin was ordered to invite Cao Pi over, although Cao Pi was only fourteen years old at this time, he had been appointed as the general of the five senses, and there were Hua Xin, Wu Zhen and others around him as teachers to teach at any time, and they were completely trained as successors.

But now Hua Xin does not have the demeanor of being a teacher at all, but tearfully asks Cao Pi to help him hide the truth, don't tell the fact that he didn't care about killing Xun Yu in a panic: "Gongzi only said that it was not good for the subordinates to do things, and let Xun Yu go without authorization, and then secretly absconded, as long as the son saved the life of the official, the next official will definitely repay him with death in the future, and help the prince win the position of heir......

Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of his younger brother Cao Zhi, although this son was only nine years old, but now Cao Cao has always liked him very much, seriously threatening his status, if Cao Zhi takes the position of heir, then he will have no fun in the future.

Although Cao Pi is only fourteen years old, due to his background and the teachings of those teachers around him, he has a belly full of conspiracy calculations and tricks at a young age.

"The old fairy also said, the current situation is different from my original fate, I have to find a way to fight hard, so that it is possible to get the position I deserve, once I retreat at this time, I am afraid that it will be nothing in the future, the third brother wants to be quick to think, I am not as good, and I am praised by my father, if I don't have a few cronies around me, how can I get the position of heir?"

Cao Pi thought about it, and then agreed to Hua Xin's request, but he handled the matter very satisfactorily, showing a very embarrassed look, and said to Hua Xin: "According to the teacher, since the teacher has instructed this matter, the student should agree, but this matter is hidden from the father, I am towards filial piety to rule the world, my father and teachers have been teaching when the students are young, to students, filial piety to parents, not to lie and deceive, now the teacher teaches students to deceive their father, this is really embarrassing, However, the student couldn't bear to watch the teacher being punished, and the distress in his heart was no less than that of the teacher, so the student let go this time and deceived his father once, so as to save the teacher's life, but this is only this time, and if there is such a thing, the student will never dare to obey his fate. ”

"Thank you Childe, I will definitely not disappoint Childe in the future." Hua Xin is now grateful to Cao Pi, and hurriedly agreed.

Next, because of Cao Pi's testimony, Cao Cao could only believe that Hua Xin carried out his orders very seriously at that time, but because several of Cao Pi's guards did not carry out the order, Xun Yu did not have forty percent in the end, and those guards also knew that they had committed a capital crime, so they fled on the occasion of moving the capital.

"I think the news that Xun Yu is not dead must have been told to Liu He by these fleeing guards, these thieves sacrificed Xun Yu in order to invite merit and reward, alas, this is all to blame on me, I was not able to kill Xun Yu at the beginning, resulting in the current use of Liu He, which is a big threat to me. Forget it, since this is the case, let him go. ”

Cao Cao knew that this matter could no longer be pursued, so he had to wave his hand and say.

"Liu and Xiao'er's strength is far stronger than me, and now I have Xun Yu and Xu Chu, so that the gap between me and him will be bigger and bigger, with this Xun Yu as Henan Yin, plus Zhao Yun, Lu Yi and other world-class generals guarding Yu Yan Erzhou, I want to restore the homeland is as difficult as ascending to the sky, now it seems that I have to hope that Liu Bei can defeat Sun Quan, so that I have the opportunity to seize Jiangdong, and strive to divide the world with Liu Bei and Liu He, alas, I Cao Cao Hero I, But I didn't expect that in the end, I would decide my future development by praying for others to defeat, which is really a shame......"

However, just when Cao Cao smiled bitterly, he suddenly heard Cao Chun, the general of his own army, step forward and say: "Lord, according to the report of the spies, the competition between Liu Bei and Sun Quan is over, and Zhou Yu, the general under Sun Quan, burned down Liu Bei's camp on the other side of the river, burning the camp for seventy miles, Liu Bei's army was defeated and returned, and the army under his command lost more than seventy percent, how tragic and tragic the situation is, this Liu Bei left us at the beginning, and he deserves this retribution today, haha......"

Then Cao Chun found that Cao Cao's face was a little wrong, so he immediately stopped and said cautiously: "Lord, this, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Humph! Naturally, as soon as Liu Bei is defeated, Sun Quan's strength will be further enhanced, in this case, not only will I not be able to attack Jiangdong, but I will have to guard against him leading his army to attack my Guangling! Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a deep voice.

Cao Chun realized the negative impact of Liu Bei's defeat on his side, and the smile on his face was long gone, replaced by deep worry, and muttered: "I really didn't expect Liu Bei's defeat to have such an impact on us, this, what can we do?" ”

At this time, Cao Cao suddenly asked: "You just told me that Zhou Yu set fire to the south bank and burned Liu Bei's camp in Jiangbei?" ”

After Cao Cao did not wait for Cao Chun to answer, he snatched the information in Cao Chun's hands from Cao Chun's hands, and then read it, only to see that it was written: "The Shu army is not accustomed to water warfare, so the war often loses, and then someone offers a series of schemes, Liu Bei gladly accepts, but the warship is connected with iron cables, and then the Shu army is on the big ship as if walking on the ground, the combat power has increased greatly, the fifth winter of Jian'an, the tenth day of the first month of the lunar month, the Jiangdong military department will Huang Gai to Liu Bei with bitter meat tricks, Liu Bei is not guarded against fraud, and leads the public to welcome, but never thought that Huang Gai will be prepared to light the fireboat, As a result, Liu Bei's warships and camps were ignited, and the company camp was burned for forty miles, causing Liu Bei to return in defeat, and the army under his command lost more than seventy percent......"

"Yes, that's what the spies say, is there anything wrong?" Although Cao Cao looked at the information again, Cao Chun still replied as usual.

I saw Cao Cao think for a moment, and then said: "This shouldn't be, it's a cold winter and a moon, but the northwest wind is blowing on the river, and the Jiangdong Army is in the southeast direction, which is the downwind, if you set fire, it should be burned directly to yourself, but why did it burn to Liu Bei in the north of the river?" ”

"Huh? Yes, if the lord didn't say it, the last general really couldn't think of this, and it was really strange at this time. When Cao Chun heard this, he was also surprised and said.

"Hmph, it's also vain to ask you about this matter, I believe that in my court, maybe only one person knows the reason." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he went straight to Sima Yi's residence, although Sima Yi is nominally a lieutenant of Si Li, but because Cao Cao is also a pastor of Xuzhou, it is actually just a fictitious position, which is mainly Cao Cao's deliberate attempt to prevent Sima Yi.

However, Cao Cao knew that Sima Yi was the most intelligent person in his army, and even Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai, whom he had always relied on, were no exception, not to mention that Xi Zhicai was seriously ill now, and he was afraid that he would die soon, so now he could only consult Sima Yi.
