"No!"

Before Cao Pi's words fell, Pang Tong refused, simply and neatly, as if he would not give an inch.

"The prince is really worthy of being born in a wealthy family, and his courage is amazing, and he often cuts off half of it, but he still wants my lord to cash in all the money and food. Has there ever been such a covenant, and what is the basis for that? ”

Pang Tong really moved the real fire, his eyes opened angrily when he spoke, his cheeks were slightly red, and he stood up before he finished speaking, rolled up his sleeves without any image, and had the posture of going into battle shirtless to compete with Cao Pi. However, after all, he was a literati who had read history books, and he held back the anger in his heart, suppressed his fiery temper, and paced in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, showing that he had reached the verge of going berserk. If Cao Pi adds another fire and stimulates him again, he is very likely to turn around and leave, ending this negotiation that is related to the future and fate of the two major vassal states.

Indeed, Cao Pi bargained too hard. A sentence of halving the number of 10,000 war horses and cavalry equipment is gone, this kind of bargaining method is very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is to see blood and seal the throat. Mo said that Pang Tong couldn't stand it, and if he was someone else, he was afraid that he would turn his face and flip the table on the spot, and he had never seen such a negotiation. This is tens of thousands of war horses and cavalry equipment, not radish and cabbage, not to mention the stalls that can be seen everywhere.

Moreover, this is the letter of state written by Liu's cousin, the only orthodox emperor in the world to submit the two countries in the form of an edict. or don't sign, everyone will break up; If you want to sign, you have to follow the rules. A little increase or decrease is harmless, and words like breaking in half at every turn should be avoided as soon as possible. It has tarnished the value of the national letter.

Seeing that Pang Tong was really anxious, Cao Pi was in an uproar. Strings of sweat the size of rice grains overflowed from his forehead, his snort became heavy, his nose fluttered slightly, and two flushes appeared on his cheeks. This guy has asthma, but he hides it to death, except for the personal old servant who brought him up since he was a child, even Cao Cao doesn't know. As long as he is nervous, when he is excited, he will sweat on his forehead, breathe heavily, and his cheeks will flush; If you listen closely. You can also hear the lung rattles in his chest, gurgling like bubbles.

Obviously, Cao Pi was frightened by Pang Tong's drastic actions, and was worried that Pang Tong would leave in anger. If this is the case, Cao Pi will not be able to complete the mission delivered by Cao Cao, and the consequences of not being able to complete the mission will be too strict, and he will not be able to accept it at all. This was the first time he negotiated with the Southern Han Dynasty on behalf of his father Cao Cao, which was of great significance and was directly related to whether he could win his father's respect and trust. Then it was decided that the crown prince of Wei would be. Therefore, he wanted to show himself, strive for the interests of Wei as much as possible, and do things beautifully, so that Cao Cao would look at him differently. and then entrusted him with an important task to confirm his status and identity as the heir of the Wei State.

Cao Pi is now eighteen years old, and he is the only son among Cao Cao's many children who can share his worries. He is also the step-eldest son after the death of his eldest son Cao Ang. But Cao Pi has many younger brothers, and most of them are about the same age as him. For example, his third brother Cao Zhang has also come out of office, and he is brave and brave. He is deeply loved by Cao Cao and is currently training in the army; The fourth brother Cao Zhi became famous at a young age, and he was good at reciting poetry, and his poetry talent was amazing, and the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty highly respected him. Therefore, Cao Pi, as an elder brother, felt a lot of pressure early on, his strength was not as good as Cao Zhang's, and his literary talent was not as good as Cao Zhi's, the only thing that could be compared with his brothers was that he was honest in appearance, but he was very scheming, calm and vicious. So, when the younger brothers were still ignorant, he had already begun to plan his own team.

This time to follow the mission to Chang'an, it was an excellent opportunity for Cao Pi to make contributions. As long as things are done well, it means that he will be a big step ahead of his younger brothers, and he will be one step closer to the position of the crown prince of Wei. Subsequently, as long as you make good use of the power in your hands and seize the opportunity, you can quickly form your own team and lay a solid foundation for inheriting the throne in the future.

However, what he never expected was that Pang Tong, who looked like a good old man, was actually a fiery temper, and he would get angry if he didn't agree with him, and he had the posture of turning his head and leaving. If it was something else, Pang Tong would not care about it or not, and he Cao Pi would not care at all, but this alliance with the Southern Han Dynasty was a major event that Cao Cao repeatedly told him, and it was related to the rise and fall of the national fortunes of the Wei State, and only success was allowed without failure.

In other words, Cao Cao meant that he must reach an alliance with the Southern Han Dynasty, and also urge the Southern Han to send troops as soon as possible, and it is best to take the lead in sending troops to attack the Western Liang army. Only in this way can Wei win the initiative and occupy an advantageous position in the upcoming melee of the three kingdoms, so that Wei can increase its chances of victory, or at least retreat with its whole body, and accumulate strength for the future unification of the world.

Therefore, Pang Tong's appearance of being about to go berserk really scared Cao Pi, so scared that he was panting, his face was flushed, and his asthma was attacking. In his mind, Pang Tong was just a courtier under Liu Biao's account, and if things were messed up, he could just leave and switch to other princes, but what should he Cao Pi do? He is the son of Cao Cao, can he still switch to other princes?

"Ahem, ahem!" Covering his mouth and coughing lightly, Cao Pi got up and walked in front of Pang Tong, waved his hand, and said apologetically: "Sir, please sit down and talk, after all, you and I are in the enemy camp at the moment, and we should be careful in everything." I am young and vigorous, immature, and it is inevitable that I will make mistakes in a hurry, but my husband is a famous man in the world, and the name of the phoenix chick has long been famous in the sea, and no one knows who knows. It is to be elegant and elegant with Mr., and he must not be seen with Pi in general, and he is also asked to bear with Mr. if he is rude. While speaking, Cao Pi sat down with Pang Tong in his arms, and he himself did not sit opposite Pang Tong, but sat down next to Pang Tong.

After a pause, Cao Pi took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then continued: "Mr. thinks what I just said is inappropriate, just say it, can you and I discuss it again, don't get angry." In this way, I will retract what I just said, and please be fair, sir, is the covenant drawn up by the Southern Han Dynasty a little too much compared to the covenant of my Wei state? My husband is a virtuous man in the world, and he will not prevaricate and deceive me. "Another move is to retreat into advance, withdraw all means, and instead attack the other's shield with the other's spear, which is the best policy, at least leaving room for both sides to turn around, so as not to enter a dead end again.

"Oh? Ziheng is calculating, complimenting me, and then letting me blow myself up? Pang Tong groaned, and then praised from the bottom of his heart: "Ziheng is young, but he is thoughtful, polite and courteous, and wise, and he is really the first young man of the age of a weak crown who impressed me Pang Tong!" With all due respect, Ziheng's scheming is high and the city is deep, which is better than Lingzun, and it can be said that the blue is better than the blue. This praise made Cao Pi very useful, and a simple smile appeared on his face again, this time it was really simple, which was completely different from the previous smile.

It's a pity that he rejoiced too soon. But seeing Pang Tong's voice paused, then the words changed sharply, and he said with a smile: "However, Ling Zun is a masterpiece in the world who is both civil and military, and he is still the only one who has defeated Xiliang Li Li today, and his cultural and martial arts are comparable to Xiliang Li Li." Although Ziheng and I are only on the same side, I can be sure that you are far inferior to your father in terms of commanding troops and fighting on the battlefield, and you have not even learned half of his skills. You put all your mind into figuring out other people, working on scheming, so you are good at interacting with people, and you can be comfortable with whoever you are. In this section, even Pang Mou was willing to bow down and feel ashamed.

But Pang Mou has a word of persuasion, now it is a troubled time, the world is divided into three, if you want to become an emperor and hegemony, you must make contributions on the battlefield, only in this way can the foundation be stable; On the contrary, it is destined not to last. These words are a bit excessive, and they are shallow and profound, and the wise do not do it. But this is precisely Pang Tong's unique hobby, he likes to evaluate characters, promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give encouragement. This evaluation of Cao Pi this time is a little different from his past, and he will tell all his strengths and weaknesses, which is undoubtedly offensive and unwise. Fortunately, Pang Tong and Cao Pi belong to the two camps, have no interest in each other, and do not belong to each other; In addition, Cao Pi provoked him just now, so he did not hesitate to judge Cao Pi, which was quite preachy to his face.

Surprisingly, Cao Pi was not angry after listening to the words, but respectfully waved his hand to Pang Tong: "Mr.'s words are deafening, Pi has been taught, thank you Mr. for his teaching." Pang Tong turned sideways to avoid Cao Pi's hand-waving salute, and looked at Cao Pi's gaze becoming sharper and sharper, and a solemn color flashed in his eyes.

After giving the salute, Cao Pi slowly sat down, turned his head to look at the moonlight, and said in an indifferent tone: "The hour is not early, you and I will gossip and return to the covenant." Now the gentleman can tell him bluntly, is it true that the terms of the covenant cannot be changed? ”

Pang Tong nodded when he heard this, and said without hesitation: "Exactly." This is a handwritten letter written by my emperor, and it is related to the rise and fall of the Southern Han Dynasty, how can it be changed? ”

"That being the case, then it will not be changed, but the gentleman still needs to promise me two conditions." Cao Pi answered.

Pang Tong looked surprised and said in surprise: "What if I don't agree?" ”

Cao Pi said resolutely: "If Mr. doesn't allow it, the alliance will be stopped, and I will only ask my father for guilt when I go back." Since Mr. knows my father, he should know that his father has always said the same, even if he does not have the help of the Jingzhou army, he can still deal with the Xiliang army to the end, and he is not afraid of the Xiliang army. On the contrary, the Jingzhou army should be more careful, Li Thief is scheming, very good at using soldiers, and his generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, and there are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen. I dare to assert that without the help of our Wei State, the Southern Han Dynasty would have been destroyed by the Li Thief, and it would have perished before our Wei State was defeated. Since the words are not speculative, Cao Pi has no scruples, and speaks very straightforwardly, without taking into account Pang Tong's face.

Pang Tong's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he said in a deep voice: "The prince of Wei really has an extraordinary vision, and Pang has been taught. Say, if there are any conditions, you can talk about it, and if you can't talk about it, you will stop it. ”
