Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 489 Joining the gang
The opportunity is here.

When Cao Pi closed his door and refused to see visitors and his ministers began to seek their own ways out, Zhong Yao knew that his chance had come.

Now is a good time to fish in troubled waters. The opportunity to contact everyone and secretly join Liu Bei is right in front of us.

However, just when Zhong Yao was about to contact Wei Feng first, there was another piece of news in the palace.

Cao Pi is seriously ill, and special envoys Zhang He, Xu Huang and others are requested to return quickly as there are important matters to discuss!

This made Zhong Yao tense again!
I suddenly realized that this was what Cao Pi wanted!

Sima Yi's army did not return, and this was known to everyone in Cao Wei.

Sima Yi's disobedience to orders was also the reason why everyone thought that Cao Wei was incompetent.

Cao Pi must have been thinking about this matter day and night.

Today we are plotting a plan to lure Sima Yi back.

in this case…

This Cao Pi is deliberately plotting!
Zhong Yao immediately understood what was going on, but he knew that he must not be impatient at the moment!
So when he went to find Wei Feng and wanted to recruit him into the group, his words suddenly changed.

...

"Zijing!"

"Do you know about the recent rumors in the palace?"

When Wei Feng saw Zhong Yao coming to see him and talking about the affairs in the palace, he thought that Zhong Yao had the same thoughts as himself...

He was immediately delighted and asked, "How could I not have heard of it?"

"This means that Cao Wei has reached the end of its fate! Heaven is going to destroy Cao!"

really!

Cao Pi's illness would make most people think this way!
Zhong Yao's face changed when he heard this, but he shouted: "Zijing! I told you to be careful with your words, how come you forgot again!"

Wei Feng said, "Now, everyone in Yecheng speaks like this. You are... too cautious."

When saying this, Wei Feng's tone was obviously somewhat dissatisfied, as if he really believed that Zhong Yao was loyal to Cao, which was why there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

However, such a harsh tone made Zhong Yao feel at ease.

This Wei Feng is really in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han, so he is one of us...

Zhong Yao made up his mind to develop Wei Feng into a "comrade".

Seeing his serious face, he smiled and said, "If you are really determined, you must not put your thoughts on the table. You should keep your ambitions in mind and accumulate strength so that you can win with one blow."

When Wei Feng heard this, his expression changed!
There is something to this saying!
Gather strength to defeat with one blow...

Who to hit?

The target of attack can only be Cao's family!

Wei Feng suddenly stood up, looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Lord Yuan Chang...when you say this, could it be...could it be..."

If Zhong Yao wanted to develop anti-Cao forces, his true colors would eventually be exposed.

Only by conveying trust first can you have the possibility of returning trust.

Zhong Yao knew even better that things like this were irreversible, and since he had made the decision, he had no choice but to make it clear.

So in the midst of Wei Feng's astonished gaze, Zhong Yao calmly said, "To be honest, I have already surrendered to Liu Bei. I am returning to Yecheng to serve as a spy!"

Although Wei Feng had already guessed it in his mind, when he really heard Zhong Yao say that he had surrendered long ago, he couldn't help but stand up with a look of disbelief on his face.

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

It was Zhong Yao who took the initiative to continue, "I entered Yecheng this time because of General Xing Daorong's order. I came here to gather intelligence and find like-minded people."

"Zijing, I noticed you on the first day I came here."

"Now... I have been honest with you. It is up to Zijing to decide what to do."

Upon hearing this, Wei Feng hurriedly said, "Lord Yuan Chang! I have already said that Cao Wei has lost the mandate of heaven."

"Today's defeat was all within expectations."

"Please rest assured, Zijing will stay with you and serve you regardless of life or death." Zhong Yao said, "I am not serving you, I am serving the Han Dynasty."

When Wei Feng heard Zhong Yao correcting him, he nodded repeatedly.

But he quickly said, "Lord Yuan Chang, Cao Pi is seriously ill today, it is time to attack."

"You can contact the general to send troops. When all the troops are deployed to defend against the enemy, we will respond in Yecheng, and great things will be accomplished."

"The unification of the world is just around the corner!"

Wei Feng seemed to have had this idea a long time ago.

Now that I think about it one by one, it is obvious that this is not a sudden thought, I am afraid it has been considered for a long time!
However... Zhong Yao listened and shook his head.

His face was extremely serious as he said, "Zijing! This is Cao Pi's plan!"

"They must have made preparations. If we act now, we will not succeed!"

"Not only will it implicate the entire clan, it will also ruin the general's plans."

When Wei Feng heard this, his expression changed.

He frowned, thought carefully, and then said, "It's unlikely..."

"The current situation in the city is already in chaos, and people are panicking and have their own thoughts."

"Your Majesty...If Cao Pi continues to use this strategy, he will be digging his own grave."

"How can human hearts withstand the test?"

"At first, we were still willing to follow Cao, but now that we see that he is about to give up, we are all going to defect."

"This is self-defeating. No matter how incompetent Cao Pi is, he cannot do this."

Wei Feng's words imply that no matter how stupid Cao Pi was, he couldn't be so confused.

After hearing this, Zhong Yao nodded and said, "What Zijing said is not without reason. If there were no other news, I would have believed that Cao Pi was really seriously ill."

"But he didn't hesitate to cause chaos in Ye City today. He really had no other choice."

Wei Feng heard this and said quickly, "Cao Pi has no other options left, so why does he have to resort to such a desperate method?"

Zhong Yao did not hesitate at all and said firmly: "It's because he wants to take back the military power!"

As he spoke, seeing Wei Feng's surprised expression, he continued, "Since the battle of Chang'an, there has been no news about Sima Yi. This move is the beginning of the people's uncertainty in Yecheng."

"It doesn't matter if Chang'an is lost. We still have Luoyang, Xuchang, and even Pengcheng and Yecheng. They are all important cities!"

"If we lose today, we can still counterattack tomorrow."

"But the military power has been lost, and the army does not obey Cao's orders, which is a big problem."

That's not how it's said.

Chang'an is important after all.

After losing Chang'an, Liu Bei's base camp Chengdu was no longer threatened.

On the contrary, Cao Pi's side was riddled with holes and attacked from all sides. From west to east, there was not a single pass on the front line that could be defended!

Chang'an, Wancheng and Hefei were all in Liu Bei's hands, so Liu Bei had a clear plan for advance and retreat and could do whatever he wanted.

Not to mention that Chang'an is the old capital and has extraordinary symbolic significance.

However, Chang'an is indeed incomparably important compared to military power.

Now that the military power has been lost, is Cao still the emperor?
Who listens to him!
Wei Feng listened and nodded slowly: "Indeed!"

"So, Cao Pi wants to lure Sima Yi back?"

"Yes... There have been rumors in the past few days that Zhang He and Xu Huang have returned to Yecheng."

"But there is still no news about Sima Yi and Yu Jin!"

Zhong Yao said: "We don't need to ask about the inside story. We just need to know that now is not the time to act and we must not act hastily..."
