Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 364 Cao Zhi's Choice

"Who wants your company?"

Cao Zhi was very unhappy when he heard this!

Even he knew about Sun Quan's defeat!

Hearing what Lu Fan said, he just smiled and said, "Even if we have some disagreements, it is just a dispute between brothers, not like the one between the Marquis of Wu, which is a fight of life and death."

Cao Zhi was still quite young.

Although he was smiling when he said it, who couldn't see the nervousness on his face?

Lu Fan said, "Master Cao! Today is a fight of life and death, why bother to be so brash and speak bluntly!"

"Why don't we be honest? Maybe our two families can unite and find a way out!"

Please help me survive!

When Cao Zhi heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

His expression changed, but he said, "I wonder what you have planned?"

Lu Fan said: "Today, you and my master are both weak, so we must unite when we are weak."

As he spoke, he took out the seal of Marquis Wu from his arms and said, "Master Cao, this is the seal of Marquis Wu. Marquis Wu is sincere. What do you think, Master Cao?"

Cao Zhi did not expect that this encounter with Lu Fan would present him with a choice in his life.

just
How can I make a decision on my own in such a short time?
Naturally, I am still hesitant.

When Lu Fan saw this guy's condition, he knew that this was the time to pursue the victory!
Then he called out, "Master Cao, I have come to see the King of Wei. He has not seen me for several times, so I know that he is seriously ill."

"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid you won't be alive for many days!"

This is indeed a harsh statement!

How could it not be unpleasant to say in front of others that your father won't live long?
Cao Zhi's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Fan say, "The King of Wei is dead. Master Cao, your death is coming!"

These words were like a devilish sound in his ears, directly penetrating Cao Zhi's mind.

What I was about to say just now went right back into my stomach.

Seeing Cao Zhi was silent, Lü Fan started to strike again: "This time we are working together to save the Marquis of Wu and you, my son!"

When Cao Zhi heard this, his expression changed slightly again. He thought for a long time without saying anything.

Lu Fan knew that forcing him would not work, so he could only let Cao Zhi figure it out himself.

Finally, when the sound of rain outside gradually subsided, Cao Zhi finally asked: "Tell me, what should we do?"

Lu Fan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he shouted: "Hefei, Master, if you can lead a part of the army to Hefei, you still have a chance to survive!"

Hefei
Cao Zhi understood that Lü Fan wanted to go to Hefei by himself, contact Sun Quan first, and then find a way to form an alliance with Sun Quan by relying on Hefei to see if he could fight Cao Pi again.
But if this is the case, wouldn’t it be a split?
After hearing Lu Fan's idea, Cao Zhi hesitated for a moment.

On the one hand, he didn't feel that he was really killed by Cao Pi, but on the other hand, he felt that the fight between brothers was exactly the same as what happened in Yuan Shao's family back then.

Finally, I felt that Sun Quan was definitely not a person I could trust.

With the lessons learned from the past in mind, do you really want to take the next step?

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to explain it clearly.

But he said, "I still need to think about this matter carefully. I am not strong enough to drink today, so let's talk about it later."

After saying that, he hurriedly took his leave.

Lu Fan watched and thought to himself that Cao Zhi must be unreliable.

I sighed in my heart, but felt that my last chance was about to be lost.
If I lose this opportunity again, I'm afraid I will have no other choice!
Lu Fan felt that Cao Zhi would not agree, but he never expected that the situation would turn around so suddenly.

However, Cao Cao, who was in a coma and seriously ill, was unaware of Cao Zhi's every move in Wancheng, but Jia Xu, who was in charge, knew it clearly!
After learning that Cao Zhi had met with Lu Fan, he waited in front of Cao Zhi's camp.

When Cao Zhi left Lu Fan, he was very nervous. When he saw Jia Xu and others in front of him, he was really shocked.

But he asked, "Why is Lord Wenhe waiting here?"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Zhi, who was obviously very nervous, and sneered, "Third Master, you are quite busy. The King of Wei did not meet the envoy from Wu, but asked you to meet him?"

Cao Zhi was feeling uneasy, and naturally knew that this was not what he should do.

But he swallowed and said, "The Wu envoy came to find me, saying that he knew my talent."

But when he said this, Cao Zhi had no idea how awkward his expression was.

His face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his inner panic.

Beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his fingertips turning white, revealing his nervousness at the moment.

His breathing was rapid and shallow, like a flame about to go out in the cold wind, and he could be swallowed up by the tense atmosphere at any moment.

Just like this, how can there be no ghost?

There is definitely a ghost!
Not to mention Jia Xu, even Mi Fang and Bao Long, standing there and looking at Cao Zhi, knew that there was something wrong with him.

Seeing this, Jia Xu sneered a little, but said: "Is that so? Then I will go find Lu Fan to confront him and see what he said to you, young master!"

When Cao Zhi heard this, his heart beat faster.

Especially the way Jia Xu stared at him made Cao Zhi feel scared.

I just subconsciously said: "Every word someone said is true"

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that he was too guilty, and he puffed out his chest and said, "Just go and question them, and don't tell them a lie."

Actually, I could have said this in a more firm tone. After all, Lu Fan couldn't possibly tell anyone what was going on between him and me.

However, Cao Zhi was still a little naive. He was weak at first and then tough. He had already been completely seen through, so it was naturally useless.

Seeing that Jia Xu just chuckled twice and turned away, he immediately felt something was wrong!
If I were really exposed, I would definitely have no way to survive!
Originally, Cao Pi might have been concerned about the inappropriateness of brothers killing each other and did not dare to take action. But if he knew that I was in contact with Eastern Wu, I would be doomed!

That was like handing the knife to Cao Pi, leaving him with no way to survive.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi made up his mind to go to Hefei!
just
The current problems are: how can he get to Hefei smoothly, and whether Sun Quan can survive.

After all, he knew that Sun Quan had been surrounded in Moling, and it was unknown whether he could survive.

"Hey!"

"Lü Fan."

"You've hurt me!"

Cao Zhi let out a long sigh in his heart and felt anxious. He spent several hours in the camp thinking about it but could not find a solution. He had no choice but to go find Zheng Hun.

Zheng Hun was also shocked when he heard what Cao Zhi said.

Although he was fighting for power, Zheng Hun was actually a "medium-risk investment".

According to his status, if Cao Zhi came to power, he would definitely be one of the Three Dukes, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and perhaps even the prime minister.

If not
His identity can also provide him with a safety net.

If, as Cao Zhi said today, we go to Hefei and start a new business,
If this fails, there will be nothing to cover him.
So after listening, I just kept silent.
