Cao Shuo said that his official rank was not small, and Cao Cao said: "It's not okay to assassinate Yangzhou, you have to be a state pastor." ”

"I don't think there's any difference between the state pastor and the assassin." Cao Shuo said: "It's all the ...... of the leading party."

"Of course it's different." Cao Cao said: "The assassin only supervises the locality, and the governor really controls the military and political power in his hands. ”

"Actually, I've always felt that Dahan's official title is just a false name." Cao Shuo said: "No matter what official I am, as long as I have soldiers in my hands, I will have real power." It will not be because I am the state pastor to add more soldiers and horses, and I will not be able to deploy the army under my command because I am a thorn. ”

"You can see it." Cao Cao said: "If Zihuan can think like you, it would be good. ”

Cao Shuo didn't say anything.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's not early, you go down and rest first, and let's talk about these things when we go back to Yecheng." ”

After saying goodbye, Cao Shuo left Cao Cao's tent.

At this time, in Cao Pi's tent, Wu Zhen was standing beside him.

"The assassination of the eldest brother thought it was seamless." Cao Pi said to Wu Zhen with some annoyance: "I didn't think that even my father could see it." ”

"Actually, Cao Gong didn't see it at first." Wu Zhen said: "It was the eldest son who made a fuss, and Cao Gong suddenly woke up. ”

"I know that the eldest brother is deliberately trying to make a big deal out of it." Cao Pi said: "In this way, he will be more favored in front of his father, but I will not be treated by my father because I tried to kill my brother." ”

"Actually, Childe is not completely out of chance." Wu Zhen said: "As long as the son forbears, sooner or later we will still be able to find the shortcomings of the eldest son." ”

"What if you find your shortcomings?" Cao Pi said: "What my father hates the most, you should know as well as I do. ”

"Of course I do." Wu Zhen said: "The last thing Cao Gong wants to see is nothing more than the princes fighting each other, especially fighting for their lives. ”

"Now that you know, do you think I'll have a chance?" Cao Pi asked.

"Of course there is." Wu Zhen said: "As long as the son stops a little over the years, he will always find an opportunity to frame the eldest son." ”

Looking at Wu Qian, Cao Pi first frowned, and then lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think I should do to seize the opportunity?" ”

"Now Gongzi doesn't seem to be favored by Cao Gong." Wu Zhen said: "Duke Cao also took Yuzhou and Xu back, if a son of the Cao family dies, who will be the most beneficial?" ”

"Not me, anyway?" Cao Pi said: "I am probably the one who will not benefit the most. ”

"Childe is right." Wu Zhen said: "However, in this world, the one who seems to be the least likely to get benefits is the one who can get the most benefits. ”

Understanding the meaning of Wu Qian's words, Cao Pi asked, "What do you mean......?"

"Getting Yecheng is precisely the most beneficial to Gongzi." Wu Zhen said: "What the son has to do now is to rein in first and find an opportunity." ”

"I see! Cao Pi said: "Chen Qun, Zhu Shuo, you don't have to be negligent, we still have to use people to achieve great things in the future." ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Wu Zhen said: "I have a sense of proportion in these things. ”

The matter was handed over to Wu Qian, and Cao Pi could rest assured, but he had lost too much when he came to Wuhuan.

Not only did Cao Cao no longer trust him, but even Xu Du and Yuzhou were taken back by Cao Cao.

When the army returned to Yecheng, it did not follow the path it had come, but chose the road closest to Liaodong.

When Cao's army passed near Liaodong, the entire Liaodong was on alert.

Gongsun Du has long since passed away, and now it is his eldest son Gongsun Kang who has taken over Liaodong.

Gongsun Kang's martial arts are not bad, but his mental resourcefulness is a little worse than that of his younger brother Gongsun Gong.

Fortunately, Gongsun Gong did not mean to take over Liaodong, and assisted his brother wholeheartedly, and Liaodong was quite stable.

The Cao family's army is not far from Liaodong, and they may turn around and take Liaodong at any time.

Gongsun Kang hurriedly invited Gongsun Gong to the front.

There were only two brothers in the room.

"Cao Cao led the army not to take the original road, nor to take the coastal road." Gongsun Kang asked Gongsun Gong, "What do you think Cao Cao wants to do?" ”

"I feel that Cao Cao is showing us force." Gongsun Gong said: "The army of 200,000 people, even the Wuhuan people can't resist it, our Gongsun family and Wuhuan have been fighting for many years, how many powerful brothers they have should know very well." ”

"It is precisely because I know the strength of the Wuhuan people that I called you over to discuss." Gongsun Kang asked, "What exactly does Cao Cao want?" ”

"What more could he want?" Gongsun Gong said: "He just wants Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's heads. ”

Knowing that the Yuan family and the Cao family had already become a fire and water, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were not dead, Cao Cao would definitely not be at ease, and Gongsun Kang still couldn't make up his mind.

"The brothers of the Yuan family came to vote for me, if I kill them...... Gongsun Kang hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I will be laughed at by the people of the world......"

"Shame?" Gongsun Gong said: "Who dares to laugh, let him try to deal with the Cao family's army by himself." Father handed Liaodong over to his brother, and his brother must not lose it. ”

"Of course I don't want to lose Liaodong......" Gongsun Kang still couldn't make up his mind, he asked Gongsun Gong, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Could it be that my brother still has affection for Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang?" Gongsun Gong said: "When these two people arrived in Liaodong, they didn't do much work. ”

"What are they doing?" Gongsun Kang asked.

"Recruit soldiers and horses, and plan to be enemies of the Cao family." Gongsun Gong asked, "What does my brother think is the first thing they need to solve before they attack the Cao family?" ”

guessed what Gongsun Gong was going to say, but Gongsun Kang didn't respond, just looked at him in amazement.

"To be enemies of the Cao family, first of all, they must have a piece of territory." Gongsun Gong said: "Now that Liaoxi has been broken by the Cao family, and Wuhuan Dadan Yu has also fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, it is definitely impossible for the Wuhuan people to provide them with a place to recuperate." Living in Liaodong for a long time, and being controlled by his brother all day long, is it possible that his brother thinks they will be able to stand it? ”

"What do you mean......" Gongsun Kang finally couldn't help it, and asked Gongsun Gong, "Will the Yuan family brotherhood be bad for our Gongsun family?" ”

"What does my brother think?" Gongsun Gong replied: "For the Yuan brothers, it is much better to take Liaodong than to be bound by the elder brother. ”

Originally, he didn't feel that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang would be any threat, but Gongsun Kang never took them very seriously.

After Gongsun Gong reminded him like this, he came back to his senses and said to Gongsun Gong: "If it wasn't for your reminder, I would have almost made a big mistake." ”

Then Gongsun Kang asked, "How can we get rid of the Yuan brothers?" ”

"I have a way, but I want to trouble my brother." Gongsun Gong replied.
