Chapter 183 Chen Qun Escaped Back
Jia Xu lowered his head, carefully sizing Cao Cao skillfully out of the corner of his eye.

Cao Cao stared at Yu Jin. Although he said he was just asking casually, he stared at Yu Jin relentlessly.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and time seemed to freeze.

"Why don't you talk?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"Xu remembered something."

"what's up?"

"I think of Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingsheng."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quite strange and frightening.

Cao Cao stared at Jia Xu, and said slowly in an extremely dull voice:

"makes sense."

Both Yuan Shao and Liu Biao favored their youngest sons, causing their foundations to be wiped out as soon as they died.

After Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi and the betrayal of Yu Jin, he felt that his health was not as good as before, and finally began to think about his own affairs.

Wancheng, why is it Wancheng again?

Wancheng has always been a deep thorn in Cao Cao's heart.

When Wancheng was defeated, the best performer in the whole army was Yu Jin, but this time, Yu Jin surrendered to the enemy, and now Cao Pi, who also experienced the defeat of Wancheng, is taking care of the situation for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao disliked this son very much.

As a father, who doesn't want his majestic image to be displayed in front of his children and grandchildren? Cao Pi witnessed the great defeat back then, and the scene back then was like a sharp thorn, which pierced Cao Cao's heart fiercely, so that he would never Willing to hand over his great cause to Cao Pi.

But Cao Pi's performance is far better than Cao Zhi.

At least that's how it looks for now.

He firmly occupied Nanyang and was able to command Yunshan and Cai Mao. It is said that Cao Pi planned Yunshan's recapture of Wancheng this time.

Yunshan is loyal and courageous, but also greedy and arrogant in his character, which is very suitable for Cao Cao.

The more such a person is, the easier it is to win him over. As long as he has enough status and wealth, he can help him fight desperately. This kind of person has a good relationship with Zihuan, and he can gradually become Zihuan's team in the future. Cao Cao can guarantee himself for a hundred years After that, Cao Pi was still able to push the Cao family to the top.

However, now is not the time to stop.

Cao Cao knew that he had embarked on a road of not advancing or retreating. If he removed the title of prime minister and negotiated with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, he might not have to kill Sun Liu, and his subordinates would consciously kill him first.

Since I can't go back, I have to keep going.

The prime minister could no longer give Cao Cao a sense of security. He couldn't bear it after he had been on the defensive all year. He was determined to launch a big war to prove that he was still the most powerful force in the world.

In addition, this hero is really planning carefully for the arrangement of the aftermath.

After Chibi's defeat, he felt that his old problems became more and more serious. At first, he only felt headache and joint pain. Later, his whole body began to tremble, and his thoughts gradually became chaotic and irritable. It made Cao Cao feel that his body was getting worse and worse.

Probably last a few years.

In the past few years, I have waited to wipe out the northern gangsters as soon as possible, so that whoever takes over my position can... all...

His cloudy eyes were once again covered with a layer of blurred fire.

It was the raging fire in Wancheng that night, it was the unwilling roar of Cao Ang after he gave up his horse, and it was also the desperate look in Dian Wei's eyes when he died unyielding.

If... If it was that day, if I hadn't done that thing that day, would everything be different?
Jia Xu seemed to have seen through Cao Cao's mind, he bowed his head in silence, waiting for Cao Cao's question.

After a while, Cao Cao came back to his senses, looked at the old scribe's cautious appearance with a complicated expression, and said slowly:
"Who will be destroyed first?"

"Zhang Lu!"

Without even thinking about it, Jia Xu firmly said:
"First easy and then difficult, Zhang Lu is the weakest, Sun Quan is the strongest.

Eliminate this person first, and you will be able to deter the gang of thieves in Liangzhou. When the time comes to wipe out Sun Quan with the power of a big victory, the world can be settled! "

After the Battle of Chibi, it was the first time for Jia Xu to say so many words in front of Cao Cao. Obviously, he had thought about this strategy for a long time and had enough.

Cao Cao looked at him with a smile, then asked slowly:
"Sun Quan is the strongest? Hehe, what about Liu Bei?"

There was a trace of sadness in Jia Xu's eyes. He looked at Cao Cao, and for the first time in his life, he did not hide it, and said the truth:

"Liu Bei...Let's leave it to future generations to destroy!"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

He shook his head slowly but firmly, couldn't help but take Jia Xu's palm, and said frankly:
"Okay. Just Yiwenhe."

·
Cao Pi's feet stepped on the muddy ground outside Wancheng. He remained silent for a long time, letting the bloody mud soak his expensive cloth shoes.

Smelling the earthy smell in the air, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Thanks to Tanzhi, otherwise Huo Jun would almost push us into a desperate situation."

"The old man is ashamed." Cai Mao hurriedly apologized.

Cao Pi waved his hand, but the anxiety in his heart did not subside in the slightest.

After this battle, Huo Jun's power expanded greatly. Huang Zhongguanping was able to come and go freely in Nanyang, and he was able to coerce Yujin to the distant public security, indicating that Liu Bei's army had entered Nanyang and penetrated very deeply.

For all these, Cao Pi naturally pushed Yu Jin without hesitation, describing him as a transportation captain who did not listen to his command, beat up indiscriminately, and strengthened the thieves.

But Cao Pi knew the real situation well.

Now he is riding a tiger, it is really like sitting on a big ship with a luxurious appearance, but it will capsize at any time.

If he is not careful, his current status will be wiped out, and all kinds of crimes will be liquidated together.

Therefore, even though he felt that he could no longer completely rely on the Jingxiang family, he still had to continue to rely heavily on Cai Mao to help him rectify Nanyang, especially to gather the people around Wancheng, and by the way, put the blame on Jin.

"Young master, if you have read the prime minister's memoir, you have to hurry up and write a book to repay it." Sima Fu reminded.

Cao Pi was startled, then nodded heavily:
"Okay, after entering the city, discuss with Tan Zhi."

After listening to Jia Xu's advice, Cao Cao made up his mind to cultivate Cao Pi well.

He granted Cao Pi the title of General of the Five Senses. At first glance, this official position is far less conspicuous than a group of generals, but the so-called General of the Five Senses was one of the three generals of the Western Han Dynasty (Five Senses, Left, and Right), and he was the head of the guards.

A suspicious person like Cao Cao made his son the head of the guard, which shows his trust, and as the deputy of the prime minister, it shows Cao Cao's cultivation intention.

Cao Pi felt that the big event he had been waiting for for many years had already reaped a result, and now he was one step away. He had to wait quietly, and he must not make any more incidents.

Just wait, when I get the supreme position, I will definitely be able to change all kinds of bad governance now.

With a hero like Tanzhi, together with Zidan and Zhongda, we will definitely be able to sweep the world down.

However, what made Cao Pi uncomfortable was that Cao Cao also announced other resignations.

Chang Diao, who had shown bravery before, still served as a sacrificial wine for the military division, but unexpectedly added a terrifying title - military division Zhonglangjiang!

This title was invented by Liu Bei alone for Zhuge Liang, and Cao Cao's satisfaction and encouragement to Chang Diao is self-evident.

It is said that there are thousands of people in the school under Chang Diao, and they have gone deep into Jingxiang. This is obviously Cao Cao's way to check and balance the new general with five senses.

After making great achievements, Yunshan, who regained Wancheng, was granted the title of [-] households, but was ordered by Cao Cao to return to Nanjun immediately, which undoubtedly weakened Cao Pi's power.

Cao Cao believed that Cao Pi should have an elite army of about 2000 men, which would be enough to control the north of Wancheng and Huo Jun, who had penetrated into Funiu Mountain, although he was powerful, but he did not need to give priority to conquest.

Leaving the strong enemy at the door not to fight, this shows that Cao Cao must be planning a bigger battle.

Judging from Yunshan's dispatch, Cao Cao should have a large-scale conquest. In this battle, Yunshan must stabilize the situation in the south, and he cannot invest further troops in the direction of Jingzhou for revenge.

Either Sun Quan or Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu is the most likely.

No matter which side to attack, Cao Pi, the general with five senses in Wancheng and Xinye, will lose the opportunity to participate in the next battle, and will be forced to choose to suppress bandits in the valley.

He deserved to fight well, and he will be punished directly by Cao Cao if he doesn't play well, and Cao Zhi has also been praised by Cao Cao, and he is likely to participate in the next battle.

He still has a chance to come back.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi felt depressed again. Looking at the Wancheng city wall in the distance, he almost didn't want to go in.

Either way.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Pi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Cao Zhi's credit is far inferior to his own. Cao Zhi is not good at military strategy, and he may not have any credit for following his father. How can he convince the world?
He was wandering, when he suddenly heard a commotion in the south, as if something important had happened.

He looked around and saw more than a dozen people galloping wildly on the horizon in the distance. The speed was so frightening that Cao Pi suddenly showed a trace of displeasure.

"Who dares to gallop wildly? How can there be such a reason?"

"Maybe there is some urgent military situation." Ma Di said weakly from the side.

"No emergency military situation." Cao Pi, who was in a bad mood, slowly rode forward, ready to see what was coming, but when he took a closer look, he suddenly felt that the person was familiar.

"Long, long text?"

Cao Pi couldn't believe his eyes, and the people in the distance obviously saw Cao Pi from afar, and a beast-like whimper came from his throat, and he sobbed loudly:

"Zihuan, Zihuan, it's me!"

Chen Qun is back!
Cao Pi was surprised and delighted.

Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Wu Zhi, and Zhu Shuo are Cao Pi's iron and steel, and Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang, Wang Can, Liu Zhen, and Chen Lin constitute Cao Pi's important team.

Now that Chen Qun came back, Cao Pi was overjoyed, and hurriedly rode his horse and flew towards him.

Chen Qun wailed loudly and jumped off the horse. Cao Pi also rolled and scrambled off the horse. The two hugged each other tightly. Seeing Chen Qun's dejected expression, Cao Pi couldn't help crying with joy:

"Changwen, Changwen, you, you are, how did you escape back?"

Chen Qun cried loudly. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his long sleeves and said loudly:

"Quick, quick, grab Guan Ping."

"Guan Ping?" Cao Pi was stunned, looked around, saw everyone was horrified, and asked inexplicably, "What Guan Ping?"

"It's Yunshan! It's Yunshan! He's Guan Ping! Hurry up and arrest him!"

Cao Pi: ...
