Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 363 Lü Fan and Cao Zhi

But when Xing Daorong reached the city of Moling and Sun Quan had lost the support of his people, Lü Fan had already reached the north.

After going through so much hardship to reach Wancheng, he still couldn't see Cao Cao!

This made Lu Fan very anxious!
He kept delaying and refused to meet Lu Fan.

Lu Fan was naturally anxious, and hurried to find Jia Xu, who was in Wancheng to take over the overall affairs on behalf of Cao Cao.

When Jia Xu met Lu Fan, he knew that he was very anxious.

But Cao Cao has been seriously ill, so there is no point in being anxious.

Seeing that Lü Fan had come to him several times, he could only say, "Ziheng, the King of Wei has many affairs to attend to. I can't do anything about it."

"I can't force the King of Wei to see you."

Lu Fan was very anxious when he heard this!
What could be more urgent than the fact that Soochow is about to be conquered by Liu Bei!
But he called out, "Duke Wenhe! I came here with sincerity, and I have already handed over the seal of the Marquis of Wu to you. Why are you still dragging your feet?"

When Lu Fan arrived in Wancheng, he also heard the news that Cao Cao was seriously ill.

But I didn't expect that he was so seriously ill that he didn't even have time to take care of Sun Quan's seal.

After saying this, seeing that Jia Xu still had no reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable!
Then he cried out, "Could it be that the King of Wei has fainted? That's why we can't meet?"

Jia Xu thought to himself, "Lü Fan, you have finally figured it out," but he still cannot reveal Cao Cao's situation to others.

This is a secret of Cao Wei and naturally cannot be disclosed.

Besides, Cao Cao is in a coma, and there are undercurrents in the society.

Cao Pi, who was originally in Wancheng, returned to Yecheng, while Cao Zhi, who was in Yecheng, came to Wancheng.

Jia Xu was a staunch supporter of Cao Pi. In his mind, deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son would lead to his downfall.

Originally he thought that most people felt the same way, but he never expected that there would be people who went against the trend!
Who?
It was Zheng Hun, the Jingzhao Yin, the great-grandson of the famous Confucian scholar Zheng Zhong and the younger brother of the famous scholar Zheng Tai.

It turned out that this person followed Cao Zhi to Wancheng, and everyone knows what he was thinking!
Upon hearing the news, Jia Xu was concerned about the fight between Cao Cao's two sons for the throne, so naturally he didn't care about Lu Fan.

Seeing that Lu Fan told the truth, his expression changed and he said, "Ziheng, making groundless speculations is not a good thing!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for sending you away mercilessly!"

When Lu Fan heard that Jia Xu looked like he was going to chase him away, his face suddenly changed!
But he looked at Jia Xu with a cold face and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that all my hard work to come here today is in vain!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Lu Fan himself knows it very well!
Even though he had said so much and even brought the seal of Marquis Wu, Jia Xu still made all kinds of excuses. The matter was already unsuccessful.

It’s just that my failure is the least of my worries; the bigger problem is the one with Marquis Wu!

"What should I do now?"

Although Lu Fan left resolutely, he was very confused in his heart.

Feeling depressed, he walked out of Jia Xu's camp. Not far away, he saw a young man with a sad face walking quickly in the camp.

The two of them were both in a bad mood and walked fast. They didn't notice each other and bumped into each other hard.

Lu Fan felt a little pain, but subconsciously tried to hold the man. Unexpectedly, the man seemed extremely angry and shook his hand away, saying, "You bastard! Who are you?"

"But seeing that I was not liked by my father, he deliberately contradicted me!"

Lu Fan felt his brain tighten when he heard this!

I looked up at the young man and saw that he had a handsome face and must be from a wealthy family.

He stood up, patted his body, and saluted politely, saying, "I am Lü Fan from Jiangdong. I wonder which son of the King of Wei you are."

As soon as these words were spoken, the person in front of him obviously changed his expression, and he also responded politely: "I am Cao Zhi." Cao Zhi!

Of course, Lu Fan knew several sons of Cao Cao.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were his two most important sons.

“Not pleasing my father”

Thinking about what Cao Zhi said before, Lü Fan didn't know what was going on.
Cao Cao is seriously ill!

Cao Zhi lost power!

Isn't this just passing on the throne?
Lu Fan made a judgment in a flash!

Subconsciously, I felt that the turning point of my trip was about to come!
However, Lu Fan had not figured out where this turning point was.

He subconsciously said to Cao Zhi: "Master Cao, it is fate that we meet today. I have heard of your great talent. If you are free, maybe we can go have some wine together?"

Cao Zhi was originally driven out when he asked to see his father.

That's why he was furious and extremely annoyed all the way!
did not think
He did not see his father, but he did see Lu Fan from Jiangdong.

When he heard him asking him to drink, he immediately nodded in response.

The two of them each had their own guilty conscience, but they hit it off immediately and found a place to have a drink.

"Boom!"

The rain came down with a thud.

Cao Zhi and Lu Fan stepped into Cao Zhi's camp. Inside the big tent, the dim lights cast mottled shadows. Simple dishes and full wine jugs were placed on the wooden table.

The two men sat opposite each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward at first. Only the crisp sound of wine glasses clinking together could be heard, echoing in the room.

Cao Zhi picked up the cup, looked at the drizzling night rain outside the window, his thoughts drifting.

Looking at Cao Zhi's expression, Lu Fan knew that the second - no, the third - son of the Cao family must have a lot on his mind at the moment.

Lu Fan was actually very anxious.

But the more anxious he was, the more calm he became.

He was willing to give everything when facing Cao Cao, but not when facing Cao Zhi.

So Lu Fan picked up a piece of tofu that was rolling in the oil until it was golden, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and savored the mellow aroma of the wine and the simple appearance of the dish.

Seeing that Cao Zhi didn't speak, he even said, "I have always known that Master Cao is talented in writing. Today is a good time. Would you like to take a look?"

But Cao Zhi had no such idea!
What time is it now? Are you still interested in writing?
In fact, Cao Zhi did not necessarily have to seize the throne and inherit the position of King of Wei. He was just afraid that Cao Pi would take action against him after he succeeded to the throne!

This is how things are. Either you don't fight at all. Once you have the intention to fight and have fought before, it will be a fight to the death.

Whoever gets on stage can’t let the other one go!
This is a life-and-death struggle!

Cao Zhi saw that he didn't say anything and Lu Fan didn't want to say anything either. Finally, after three rounds of drinking, Cao Zhi started to talk more.

But he said: "I will talk about your talent for writing later. I just heard that Jiangdong was defeated by Liu Bei one after another. I didn't expect you to have some free time, so I came here!"

"But you're here for help?"

These words really touched Lu Fan's heart, but Lu Fan naturally couldn't show his fear. He immediately relaxed his brows and smiled, saying, "That's right. I just don't want our Dongwu situation to be critical, while your situation is even more critical."

"Ah, we are in the same boat, how sad!"

"Who knows, we may still be companions in life and death in the future."
