Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 502 The sky is falling!
My heart is broken!

When Cao Pi saw Cao Zhi die in front of him, close his eyes and say "I'm sorry", his heart was truly broken.

How miserable!

My brother died in front of my eyes... Even though I always wanted to kill this brother, we have just "reconciled" and our brotherly love is so deep that I cannot remain indifferent when seeing his death in front of my eyes!
Besides...

It would have been fine if the arrow was shot from the opposite formation, but now everyone saw that it was shot from their side.

Under this fact, even if Cao Pi was the emperor, he would not be able to explain himself!

Just when Cao Pi realized that there was a traitor around him who did not want him well, Sima Yi on the opposite side reacted even faster.

Seeing this unexpected change, he turned from surprise to joy, and shouted to Cao Pi: "Cao Pi! You are so shameless!"

"Trick the brothers into coming forward and then shoot them with cold arrows!"

"In this whole world, throughout history, is there any emperor more brutal than you?"

"You are really no different from King Zhou of Shang. Everyone should rebel against you for the sake of justice!"

These shouts stunned Yu Jin and Zhang He who were fighting desperately on the sidelines.

The two men turned around and saw that Cao Zhi had really died in Cao Pi's arms. They stopped fighting and just stared blankly at the changes in the scene.

Cao Pi naturally knew the consequences of having this "shit pot" put on his head!
You can kill Cao Zhi.

After all, he rebelled against me back then, and could be considered a traitor who committed heinous crimes!

However, even if you want to kill Cao Zhi, you definitely can't do it this way.

First he used his mother to coax his brother, then he acted like a loving brother, but in the end he shot an arrow into his brother's chest!

This kind of behavior will certainly be despised by the world.

Even if Cao Pi cried out that it was injustice and that he did not do it, who would believe him?

Seeing that Sima Yi was already putting the blame on him, Cao Pi quickly replied, "Sima Yi! You are so vicious that you arranged for someone to shoot my brothers among my troops!"

"Today you are still confusing right and wrong, making me bear the name of being unkind and unjust!"

Sima Yi laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Cao Pi, Cao Pi, what are you talking about!"

"If I could really ambush someone around you, why would I shoot Cao Zhi? Killing you... wouldn't it be best?"

"Today you killed your own brother and you want to blame me for it. This is unjust!"

"Everyone... now that you have seen the face of this tyrant, will you help me kill him?"

Following Sima Yi's words, the morale of his troops seemed to have returned, and they shouted, "Kill! Kill!"

Cao Pi really didn't expect that, when he was about to recover these troops and horses, such an unexpected change happened!
I was very anxious and wanted to figure out what was going on, but I knew that now was not the time to do that.

Let's quickly withdraw our troops and avoid Sima Yi's attack.

Sima Yi took advantage of the situation and attacked all the way to the main camp, but he retreated temporarily under the pressure of crossbows.

Cao Pi suffered a defeat and was branded as the man who had killed his brother, so naturally he looked very unhappy.

At this moment in the big tent, Cao Pi had a gloomy look on his face, but he shouted: "Who! Who shot that arrow?"

The people around were silent. They all knew that the matter was serious, but no one dared to speak.

Cao Pi asked angrily, "Where is the man? Has he been caught?"

Seeing no one answering, Wu Zhi stepped forward helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, we have not yet found out who did this."

Cao Pi was furious when he heard this: "Ridiculous!"

"Could that person disappear?"

"Or is there someone who is helping me and deliberately deceiving me?"

Only someone like Wu Zhi could say a few words in the face of Cao Pi's anger. If someone else was frightened by Cao Pi's attitude, he would probably not dare to say anything.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi was still able to say a few words at this time, so Cao Pi did not completely lose his mind.

But he heard him say: "Your Majesty... I'm afraid the inside story is not as simple as Your Majesty thought..." Hearing this, Cao Pi's face suddenly became colder!
The meaning of Wu Zhi's words was clear; this matter was clearly done by one of his own people.

It is not just for insiders, but should be done for close people.

If not for this, it would be impossible to kill Cao Zhi with the hidden arrow method.

This is a big problem inside!

Cao Pi's face became colder as he listened, but he said, "All of you leave. I need to think carefully about how to deal with this matter."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

No one could stay in this atmosphere, so when they heard what Cao Pi said, it was as if they had found a life-saving straw and they all ran away quickly.

Cao Pi looked extremely cold, with a ball of anger in his heart. He finally managed to control it and said, "Ji Zhong, slow down. I have something else to discuss."

In fact, Wu Zhi didn't leave at all.

He seemed to have expected that Cao Pi would keep him, so he didn't move at all.

He just nodded silently and waited for everyone to disperse.

After a while, when everyone had left, Cao Pi asked, "Ji Zhong, were there any hidden meanings in what you said before?"

"Who among us is the spy?"

Wu Zhi heard this, but he just shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who is responsible for this matter at the moment."

"But this must have been premeditated!"

Cao Pi talked about this matter with Wu Zhi, whom he trusted the most, and finally he calmed down.

Hold back your anger and start thinking calmly.

But he said: "Ji Zhong is right, this matter has been planned for a long time, maybe it has been planned since I asked the Queen Mother for help!"

Wu Zhi nodded for a while, and seeing that Cao Pi had calmed down, he also said seriously: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true."

"But there are many people in the army who know about this. If we start from them, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this person."

"The key is... time is too tight to allow us to investigate thoroughly!"

"Right now... I have to give an explanation to the people of the world first!"

Cao Pi understood.

He used his mother to lure his brothers on the battlefield and then attacked their lives!

If this matter gets out... no... it can be said that it will definitely get out!
Once it gets out... your reputation will definitely be ruined!

Not only was morale low within the group, but Liu Bei's reputation was already better than his own externally. By doing this, he was really handing the blame to others.

Time is indeed urgent and we need to give people an explanation first.

Of course…

Cao Pi knew very well what this meant. If he had to give an explanation in such a short time, wouldn't it be easy to cause false charges and wrongful convictions?

even…

Just to wrongly accuse someone...

Cao Pi thought about it, and finally said: "If there is no other way, then say it was a soldier who made his own decision."

Cao Pi thought simply.

But could things be covered up so easily?

As soon as he made the suggestion, Wu Zhi shook his head slightly: "No... If there is no one instructing them, how could the soldiers do this?"

"Your Majesty, please think carefully about who...had an affair with Sima Yi and used such a vicious scheme!"
