Chapter 412: The Battle of the Heirs

The doorman only described Zhuge Liang's appearance, and Cao Cao easily guessed his identity.

"What? just one person?" Cao Cao's little eyes flashed with coldness, his face was full of anger, and he sneered, "Hmph, Shi Xin's people are really courageous, and every time they come, they are alone." Zhao Yun is like this, Zhuge Liang is also like this, is there no one to bully me Cao Ying?"

The Xiahou brothers and the others couldn't help but bow their heads in shame, although Cao Cao didn't mean to say them, but as the party involved in Zhao Yun's camp, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

Xu Chu stepped out of the ranks and said loudly: "Why should the lord have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige? That time we were unprepared and fell for Zhao Yun's tricks. Today, unlike in the past, we have all cultivated Mengde's new book, and our cultivation has risen greatly. The lord sent me out and cut off Zhuge Liang's little white-faced head with a knife. ”

Dian Wei said seriously: "Zhong Kang, at that time, we were indeed inferior to Zhao Yun, how could we say that we were treacherous? ”

Xu Chu's face turned red, and he automatically ignored Dian Wei's words, and raised his voice: "My lord, please send me out and cut off the head of the little white face." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was indecisive, Yang Xiu stood up silently, "Xu Zhongkang, the lord has his own opinions, you are shouting, don't disturb the lord's thoughts." ”

Xu Chu glared at Yang Xiu, and said angrily: "What is shouting, Yang Dezu is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't dare to fight." ”

said so, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, and his voice had already come down.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed, and stroked his thick hair with his hand, "Zhong Kang is a little restless, don't be impatient, sit down first." As the saying goes, if the two armies are fighting and not killed, Zhuge Liang can't be killed. What's more, he is the number two person in the Qingzhou Army, he dares to break into our Cao camp alone, and we can't fall into the prestige, otherwise it will spread as if we are afraid of him. ”

He thought for a moment and asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia sat casually on the left side of Cao Cao, listening to everyone with his eyes half-closed. He is the only one in the entire Cao camp who has this qualification, no matter how Yang Xiu tries to please Cao Cao, the treatment is too far from him, and he often envies him. Of course, this is only in front of internal acquaintances, and Guo Jia does better than anyone else outside.

Seeing Cao Cao's question, Guo Jia didn't stand up, and said casually: "The lord is right, just punish him a little." His subordinates thought that Zhuge Liang must have come to listen to our true thoughts, and we only need to insist that we will fight to the death, and he will return in a huff. As for the future, there is no need to say too much in a hurry, and we must not let him guess our bottom line. ”

Yang Xiu's heart froze, what is the bottom line? What is Cao Cao's bottom line? Looking at everyone's reactions, only Cao Cao and Guo Jia should have talked about this matter, and even Xun You didn't know.

Based on Yang Xiu's understanding of Cao Cao, this bottom line should be the most critical point in the entire battle.

"What the hell is it?" Yang Xiu fell into deep thought for a moment.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a smile, "I know, I know." Since that'......" He put away his smile and showed a touch of coldness on his face, "Gongda, Wenyuan, Zixiao, Dian Wei, Zhongkang, you go to pick Zhuge Liang in, you must give him a look, understand?"

The five of them didn't know the reason, one by one, and walked out of the big tent excitedly.

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Lord, I also want to go out to see the excitement." ”

The two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, glanced at each other, and didn't want to let go of this excitement, so they asked Cao Cao for instructions together.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, "Let's go!"

When the three of them came out of the big tent, Cao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked uncomfortable, "Oops, suffocate me." My father insisted on bringing me to the barracks, which was so boring. ”

Yang Xiu heard him complain about Cao Cao, but he didn't dare to answer, and his attitude became more respectful.

Cao Pi didn't fall in love with this younger brother, and he didn't usually talk much, so he didn't think much of his words at this time, and said unhappily: "Zijian, my father looks up to you, let you participate in such a big battle, and even lead an army of 1,000 people, I have begged my father for a long time, and I have only as much as you." ”

Cao Zhi has no grudge against Cao Pi, but he feels that his teenage boy has a dark face all day long, and he is more serious when he faces his father, and he is less intimate between father and son. He also said Cao Pi a few times, but Cao Pi just sneered and looked at him carefully, and every time he brushed his sleeves away. After a few times, Cao Zhi lost his patience, thinking that this person's personality was like this, it was difficult to change, so he left it to him.

Hearing that Cao Pi was interested in the 1,000 soldiers, Cao Zhi said happily: "Big brother likes to march and fight? Then I'll tell my father, and my 1,000 soldiers will also be distributed to you." ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed and was about to agree, when he suddenly saw Yang Xiu shaking his head at him, which was quite meaningful. He thought to himself: Yang Dezu is the person who knows his father best, does he have something to teach me?

"What kind of joke is Zijian, that is the soldier assigned to you by your father, how dare I come here privately? Cao Pi behaved righteously.

"What? It's just talking, why did you pull your face down again?" Cao Zhi muttered, "Don't want it, don't bother to pay attention to you, I'll go see the excitement." ”

After Cao Zhi left, Cao Pi pulled Yang Xiu to a place where no one was around, and asked Yang Xiu in a low voice, "Sir, do you have something to teach me?"

Yang Xiu pretended to be stunned, "What do you say about the eldest prince?" was dumbfounded, didn't know what to say, and was about to leave.

Cao Pi pulled Yang Xiu's sleeve hard, and didn't let him go.

Yang Xiu had no choice but to stop and explain: "The eldest prince thinks, since the lord brought the two princes out and sent a thousand soldiers and horses to you to command, it is nothing more than to let you familiarize yourself with military warfare in advance and learn from it." In this respect, the Lord treats you equally. If you ask for the second son's soldiers and horses, what does the main guild think?"

Yang Xiu looked serious and continued: "That's a way to suppress my brother and rush for quick success." To put it bluntly, this is a big taboo for heirs!"

The three words "heir" shook Cao Pi's body, his face changed greatly, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, "Sir's words are equivalent to saving my life." ”

Yang Xiu waved his hand, "I'm just telling the truth, I don't want the lord to affect his thoughts for something before the army starts, so the eldest prince will pay attention to it in the future." "After that, I raised my feet and left.

Since the words have been spoken, how could Cao Pi let Yang Xiu go away easily, blocking the way, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. is right, I, Cao Pi, have always put the position of heir in the first place since I was sensible." I'm confident that I can do this role well. But in the face of Zijian, I ...... I was scared. ”

Cao Pi sighed heavily, and said bitterly: "His cultivation talent is higher than mine, his poetry and singing are far better than mine, and he is more enthusiastic about people, with a pure heart, and his brain turns quickly, I can see that my father likes him more than me." ”

Yang Xiu said: "But the second prince doesn't seem to have much interest in military affairs, and he has no intention of competing with you for the throne, is the eldest prince too sensitive?"

"I have to be sensitive, I am determined to be the heir. Mr. knows his father well, and even Guo Jia and others are ashamed of themselves, Mr. taught me, how can I get my father's attention?"

Yang Xiu was forced to be "impossible" by Cao Pi, so he had to say with a bitter face: "After I say it, the eldest prince can't tell others, otherwise Yang Xiu's head will fall to the ground." ”

"If I can inherit it, my husband should remember the first merit, and he will be the greatest meritorious hero, and then he will be added to the rank and knighthood, and he will be honored and rich. ”

Yang Xiu sneered in his heart: Who wouldn't make empty promises? I believe that you have a ghost, but since you are going to bump into it, I have no reason not to catch it, maybe there will be a credit to you for the fall of Cao Ying in the future. Well...... I must push Cao Pi up, and then use his hand to eradicate Cao Cao's capable ministers one by one.

Having made up his mind, Yang Xiu didn't run away anymore, and only said one word seriously, "Filial piety!"

"Filial piety?" Cao Pi frowned and followed.

"Yes, the lord is a male lord of the generation, Wen Cheng Wude, and he is a person who has the ability to win the world. Such a person does not need his descendants to help him fight the world, he only needs to help him defend the world. The lord loves poetry and songs, but he knows in his heart that this is not one of the abilities to become a hegemon; his brain turns quickly, but he also has to use it in the right place, such as military talent, good at internal affairs, etc., if he uses his wisdom and talent in the wrong place, he will not do his job properly; if his cultivation talent is high, he may not be very high, right? Compared with Shi Xin, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others, there is still a little gap, right? To be honest, the lord really does not need such a person. ”
