Although Cao Pi was surprised and couldn't believe the news that Cao Cao suddenly fell critically ill, he was able to accept it in the end, and from a certain point of view, this point was still somewhat beneficial to him.

If Cao Cao wasn't his father, he should actually be happy and happy at this time, after all, at this critical time, Cao Cao's sudden fall was actually beneficial to him.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, the only one who could arbitrate him was Cao Cao.

Cao Cao fell, that is to say, no one in the Great Wei Dynasty can arbitrate him Cao Pi, and the matter of Youzhou can even be erased, he is still the second prince of the Great Wei.

However......

Cao Zhang's prison country?

For this, Cao Pi not only couldn't accept it, but also felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Cao Zhang?

What is a little child!

If Cao Cao falls this time, and the world is the crown prince Cao Ang, he Cao Pi will admit it, after all, the crown prince Cao Ang is above him in terms of both the prestige of the court and the generation of his brothers.

But why is it Cao Zhang, who is in charge of the country?

The prince of the prison country, that is the identity of a prince, once Cao Zhang's identity of the prison country is secured, he will not be equal to the crown prince in the future, at that time, Cao Zhang's desire to compete for the throne is also justified.

This naturally made Cao Pi indignant, even if he and Cao Zhang were brothers of the same mother and had a good relationship, but in the face of the position of the Ninth Five-Year Honor, it was the one who should turn his face.

He Cao Pi is the second line, and Cao Zhang is only the third line.

Even if Cao Cao is seriously ill, it is he Cao Pi who is in charge of the country, when will it be Cao Zhang's turn?

"The old third eunuch must be instructed by those ministers in the court, not necessarily the intention of his father. By the way, on the prince's side, do you have any moves? Cao Pi took a deep breath, forced his mood to stabilize, raised his head, and looked at Wu Qian. Asked.

Cao Zhang's supervision of the country, I'm afraid the biggest influence is the crown prince Cao Ang.

This directly affects his position as the crown prince.

"Nope!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhen shook his head gently, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the report given by our spies in Yuzhou, now the crown prince Cao Ang is bent on preparing for the battle in Yuzhou, and he has no intention of returning to Luoyang!" ”

"So, he accepted the matter of the old third prison country?"

Cao Pi's forehead was blue and bumpy, and he gritted his teeth. His face became more and more difficult to look at: "Damn, if I had known the current situation, I would not have squeezed my head out of the sun in the first place, so that I would have lost the best opportunity now!" ”

At first, he thought that there was no hope of staying in Luoyang, because his father was in full health, and it was impossible to have a chance to succeed to the throne in a short period of time, but no one thought that his father would suddenly fall.

If he had chosen to stay. did not leave Luoyang, is it the one who is now in charge of the Great Wei of the country, Cao Pi.

The identity of the prince of the prison country actually represents this prince.

Only the prince. Only then can they have the right to supervise the country.

Once he is the one who is in charge of the country, then his identity is equivalent to standing side by side with Cao Ang, and if he wants to compete for the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor in the future, he is also famous, but ...... Without ifs, the current situation is already a foregone conclusion.

One son made a mistake. The whole game is different.

"Your Highness, Luoyang City is now out of our reach, we should think about it, and now it is the most important thing to deal with it!" Wu Zhi said calmly: "Your Majesty is critically ill, this news should be true." Once this news is confirmed, it will inevitably affect the turmoil of the entire Great Wei world, and it will soon affect our Jizhou, Jizhou is now a mess, if this news comes, it will inevitably make us even more chaotic, and then we should be so self-contained! ”

"Ji Chong, you say, will this be a good opportunity?"

When Cao Pi heard this, he quickly calmed himself down, thought about it for a while, and then narrowed his eyes lightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Maybe!"

Wu Zhen looked at Cao Pi and said: "Your Majesty is the biggest obstacle to Your Highness, now Your Majesty is suddenly critically ill, saying a big disrespectful word, for Your Highness, it is a good opportunity, Your Highness at this time, want to take advantage of the fire to rob, take Jizhou, it will be much easier, because at this time for the imperial court to be stable, and we want Jizhou, as long as we are willing to support the imperial court, I believe that the imperial court will compromise at this time, after all, even if Jizhou is led by His Royal Highness, it is still the territory of Great Wei, and it is not a big problem for the imperial court!" ”

"That's right, your analysis is very reasonable, capturing Jizhou at this time is indeed a good opportunity, but is a mere Jizhou comparable to the Great Wei Dynasty? If you just take Jizhou, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity, if you say ......"

Cao Pi thought for a while, and then asked, "I want to return to Luoyang, is there any hope?" ”

Be a human with a big appetite.

As a prince, his vision is even more long-term, and he can't be limited to one place, if he divides Jizhou and the Great Wei of the Prison State, he will choose the latter, because he is only in the position of the Great Wei Emperor.

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

When Wu Zhen heard this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly arched his hands, and said loudly against it: "My subordinates think that you really shouldn't return to Luoyang at this moment, Your Majesty is critically ill, Luoyang City has already been under martial law at this time, we have lost the first hand, and there is no chance for the latter to come first, because although the strength of Luoyang is not much, it is more than enough to block us, and the most important thing is that although Your Highness is the second prince, you have no foundation in Luoyang, at this time, who do you think will support you to ascend to the throne, Prime Minister, General, Or Bian Guifei? ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid they won't support a certain family!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Because of a battle in Youzhou, he has already offended the Manchu civil and military ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty, whether it is a civil official or a military general, his senses will be reduced, Prime Minister Xun Yu will definitely not believe him, and the general Zhang Liao wants to eat him alive.

If these two giants at the head of the imperial court want to oppose him, it is easy to do so.

And his biological mother Bian Guifei, although she is the second only concubine in the harem to the queen, good at management, her foundation in the court is not weak, and she has a great influence, but she is her son, and Cao Zhang, who is now in charge of the country, is also his son.

The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and Cao Pi is not sure that she will definitely stand on her side.

"Your Highness, in fact, this opportunity has been lost. If you think about it again, it is useless, we need to grasp the present and stand firm in the footsteps of Jizhou! ”

Wu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As long as we take this opportunity, we will take the position of Jizhou Assassin in one go, and then solve the problem with General Yu Ban." Respect Jizhou alone, stabilize the foundation, you still have the opportunity to return to Luoyang in the future, this idea, whoever has a soldier, who is the king! ”

"You're right!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he was in high spirits, nodded, and suppressed the slightest bit of unwillingness. His mind began to be invested in the battle for Jizhou.

Jizhou, although the forces in his hands have gained the upper hand.

But Yu Ban Xu Huang them, it is difficult to deal with.

"At this time, the imperial court should need the support of Jizhou very much to stabilize the Chaogang Rebellion, so it is the time when we and the imperial court pay attention to the conditions, and pass on my order to let Cui Zhouping cease fighting. Let them go! Cao Pi thought for a while and said.

"Let them go? Your Highness. What if they return to Luoyang, but the court does not admit it? Then we won't lose much. Wu Zhen said worriedly: "Also, after they led the army south, they didn't leave Jizhou, wouldn't we have become a loss of advance and retreat?" ”

"I know you're worried, but here and there!"

Cao Pi shook his head: "If it was before." I was really afraid of this, so I asked Cui Zhouping to lead his troops north, stop them at all costs, and use them to meet the imperial court. But now, I'm not afraid that they will choose to stay here, Xu Huang and Cao Hong are a burden to us in Jizhou, but if they return to the imperial court, it will be a big help, they can help Xun Yu stabilize the dynasty, and most importantly, I, Cao Pi, do want to dominate one side, but I didn't want to go against the imperial court, now the Great Wei Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, Your Majesty is critically ill, and in addition to the strong enemies of Eastern Wu, the situation is already precarious. We can't sit still in Jizhou! ”

"Your Highness's righteousness!"

When Wu Zhen heard this, he trembled, and hurriedly saluted Cao Pi respectfully.

"In this way, you let people give Luoyang a word, I, Cao Pi, am willing to guard Jizhou, guard the northern frontier of the Great Wei, protect the territory of the Great Wei without losing, and never lose the Great Wei!" A smile rose at the corner of Cao Pi's mouth and said.

He believed that Xun Yu could understand his words.

"I see!" Wu Zhen nodded.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, a guard outside walked in in a hurry and handed over a secret letter to Cao Pi's head: "This is a secret letter sent by the capital, and the person who came instructed him to send it to His Highness in person!" ”

"Who's?"

"I don't know!" The guard replied: "The messenger is very strong, and after delivering the letter, he left immediately!" ”

"Go down!"

Cao Pi took the letter with some doubts, and after sending the guards to retreat, in front of Wu Zhen, he opened the letter directly, looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and there was an inexplicable struggle in his expression.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Wu Zhen looked at it and hurriedly asked.

"See for yourself!"

Cao Pi handed him the letter and said faintly: "I'm dead, but he has stirred up my mood!"

"It's ...... Xiahou Ling's letter, the deputy general of the Imperial Forest Army, the Xiahou Mausoleum, who is known as the leader of the younger generation of the Xiahou family? ”

After Wu Zhen glanced at the payment, after carefully reading the contents, his face became more and more solemn, and after half a ring, he raised his head, looked at Cao Pi, and asked: "Your Highness, can you be sure that this letter is really from him?" Could it be someone else's fake! ”

"The seal should be right, and I left Luoyang in the past, and he had an agreement, correspondence, a unique logo, his last payment, the last word, missing half a pen, I am sure, this is his own handwriting!"

"Does His Highness believe him?"

"He is a child of the Xiahou family, my brother, in my heart, is the most outstanding child of the Xiahou family, he has taught me a lot of knowledge, we have a good relationship, why don't I believe him!"

Cao Pi didn't have a trace of doubt, and said very firmly: "I may not believe what other people say, but I believe what he says." ”

"If there is a Royal Forest Army to help, then ......" Wu Zhen looked at the letter and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "He drew a big cake for His Highness!" ”

"You also think that if the Guards help you, there is a good hope for a certain family, right?"

Cao Pi's eyes burst out with a scorching light: "The Imperial Forest Army is the most elite soldiers and horses around my father, and it is also the most powerful soldiers and horses to defend Luoyang City. ”

"......"

Wu Zhen gritted his teeth. forcibly calmed himself down and said: "Your Highness, the danger in this is too great, he Xiahou Ling is only a deputy general in the end, and the main general will be General Dian Wei, the first fierce general of Great Wei." Your Highness think twice! ”

"Dian Wei, I'm worried that he will only be loyal to his father and won't get involved in these things, as long as Xiahou Ling supports this prince, then this prince has a great chance to seize the power of Great Wei from the third child before the prince returns to Luoyang!"

Cao Pi said word by word.

"Your Highness, I still advise you, think about it, the danger is too great. Once there is an accident, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not even have a chance to return to Jizhou, either he will be killed or imprisoned, and he will have no chance to come out in the future! ”

Wu Zhen's eyes sank, and he said admonishingly.

"I naturally know that the danger is great, but there is no chance to be lost, and it will never come again!"

Cao Pi thought for a moment. smiled a little bitterly: "A Jizhou is insignificant to me. But dominating the court is equivalent to the prince, which is very important to me, I want to gamble! ”

"Your Highness, why don't you summon Mr. Cui back to discuss!"

Wu Zhen knew Cao Pi's mentality. But he still thinks that it is unwise to return to Luoyang at this time.

But Cao Pi was already moved, and he couldn't convince Cao Pi.

Although he is very hostile to Cui Zhouping, Cui Zhouping is more trusted by Cao Pi than him. And Cui Zhouping is extraordinary, if he is willing to persuade Cao Pi, Cao Pi should consider it.

"You're right, you still have to discuss this matter with Mr. Cui!"

Cao Pi nodded and said, "You immediately send him a secret letter, eight hundred miles to expeditious, let him give up all the things at hand, and rush back to Yecheng as soon as possible!" ”

"No!"

Wu Zhen nodded.

——————————————————

Julu County.

Fucheng.

At this time, in the confrontation between the north and the south, Cao Pijun and Xu Huang were between the forbidden Cao Hong coalition army, the two armies faced each other, the city was up and down, the battle flag was flying, the war horse was neighing, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Above the lobby of a mansion in the middle of the city.

Cui Zhouping was obviously a little nervous, although this was not his first time marching and fighting, but it was the first time he was the main general, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he did not dare to relax at all.

Luckily, he also had a Ligne by his side.

If it weren't for Li Ne's help, he was afraid that he would have just led his soldiers and horses into Julu, and he would be surrounded and annihilated by Yu Ban and Xu Huang.

"Dadu Governor, Fucheng can't hold on for a long time, even if they hold it, they can go south from Anping County, enter Qinghe County, and then enter Yanzhou from Qinghe, which can be regarded as getting out of trouble!"

Cui Zhouping raised his head, looked at Li Nie, who was sitting in front of the marching chart, and said in a low voice.

"They won't go south from Anping, they can only storm Fucheng and capture the giant deer!"

Li Nie opened his mouth, his voice was calm, but he firmly stated a fact: "Defend Fucheng, it's okay!" ”

"Why?"

"Zhou Ping, you don't think that they led the army south, just want to leave Jizhou, right?"

Li Nie raised his head, his eyes crossed a glin, glanced at Cui Zhouping, and said: "For a war, the purpose determines their marching strategy, and their purpose is actually a giant deer from the beginning to the present, not to leave Jizhou, for them, to capture the giant deer in order to stand firm in Jizhou!" ”

"What does the Metropolitan Governor mean that they never thought of leaving Jizhou, but retaking Jizhou?"

"Otherwise, you think Jia Xu is full of food and is here to play!"

Li Nie sneered: "This guy wants to fight the strong with the weak and swallow Jizhou in one go!" ”

"In this way, a big battle is inevitable!"

Cui Zhouping was a little worried: "But most of our soldiers are young and strong, not as good as their elite soldiers, although they don't have many soldiers and horses, but they can escape from Youzhou, they are definitely first-class elite soldiers in a hundred battles, one can be compared to the three of us, and the combat effectiveness far surpasses us!"
