Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 548 Drag Him to Death

Yecheng.

Zhong Yao has been very low-key recently.

Logically speaking, after Cao Pi had peace talks with Sima Yi and went to Luoyang to help, it should have been the time when old man Zhong was causing chaos in Yecheng.

Who would have thought that Zhong Yao suddenly realized that Wu Zhi had been paying close attention to him recently!
Even began to investigate himself secretly.

Apparently…

He didn't know where he had made a mistake that caused Wu Zhi to pay so much attention to him.

However, although Wu Zhi has not come to him yet, Zhong Yao decided to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, when victory is just around the corner, you must not fall down at the very moment before victory.

However, although it was low-key, the war in Luoyang still attracted a lot of attention.

Zhong Yao got the first-hand information from all sides.

...

"Mr. Yuan Chang!"

"Cao Pi was in Luoyang and was defeated by Xing Daorong!"

"I even heard that Cao Pi was seriously injured!"

On this day, Zhong Yao was just sitting there with nothing to do when he saw Wei Feng running towards him excitedly, telling him some shocking news.

When Zhong Yao heard this, he did not have time to respond. He just stood up and ran quickly, closing the door tightly.

Turning back, he looked at Wei Feng and said with a wry smile: "Zijing, you better be careful, the walls have ears!"

"In recent days, Wu Zhi has been testing and investigating me. I wonder if anyone in this mansion has been bribed by him."

Upon hearing this, Wei Feng hurriedly bowed his hands and said earnestly, "Mr. Yuan Chang is right. I am grateful for your advice."

"It's just that the news is really exciting, that's why."

Zhong Yao waved his hand.

In fact, most of the people in this mansion are confidants, so it is not so easy for them to be bribed by Wu Zhi.

It's just that Zhong Yao has always been cautious, and Wei Feng's personality is too carefree, so he took this as an excuse to give him another warning.

Then he asked, "Zijing said Cao Pi was seriously injured. Is that true?"

Wei sarcastically said, "It's almost certain! This can't be groundless."

As he spoke, he took another step closer and whispered, "It is said that the palace has summoned the imperial doctors and made various preparations for Cao Pi's return."

"I think... he was seriously injured."

Zhong Yao nodded after listening to this, and after a moment's thought, he said, "So... Cao Pi should be coming back?"

Wei Feng immediately responded, "That's right... I'm seriously injured and I can't stay in the military camp. I can only return to Yecheng."

"Should we... prepare?"

Zhong Yao raised his hand again to stop Wei Feng from continuing, and said, "Let's not do anything, just wait for the news."

"Waiting for the general's letter..."

Wei Feng listened and said immediately: "Okay, okay, let's just wait."

Zhong Yao said, "Zi Jing, don't worry. I think the news from the general will come in a few days."

Wei Feng naturally believed in Zhong Yao.

Although he had never met Xing Daorong, Wei Feng really admired the great general of the Han Dynasty.
He can win on the battlefield and make plans in the palace!
It's really amazing!

...

However, Zhong Yao waited in Yecheng for a while, and soon he really received news from Xing Daorong.

Just because the correspondence could not be long, Xing Daorong's letter contained only a few words.

"Cao Pi was seriously injured, so he was left on the battlefield and not allowed to return to Yecheng."

After seeing this, Zhong Yao understood.

As expected...as expected, Cao Pi is really no good!
He said happily: "Great! Today is the day to win!"

"It seems that as long as Cao Pi is held back, the world will be settled!"

Zhong Yao said to Wei Feng, "Zi Jing, come and have a look. The general has sent a letter!"

Wei Feng was also overjoyed and excited, thinking that the day of destroying Cao was just around the corner. Unlike Ma Chao, Wei Feng had no hatred towards the Cao family.

However, he was loyal to the Han Dynasty and hated Cao's rebellion. Although his goals were different, he was still determined to kill Cao!

Seeing that the Cao family is about to be destroyed today, I am overjoyed.

But he called out, "Lord Yuan Chang, why don't we ask Cao Pi to come back?"

Zhong Yao was also feeling a little troubled.

The emperor is leading his troops outside, so it would be easy to lure him back.

Just think of any way to get Cao Pi back.

But if the situation is the other way around, and the emperor wants to come back but you don't let him, it would be difficult to think of a solution.

However, despite the difficulties, Zhong Yao still came up with a solution in a short time!

Close the door and catch the thief!

...

If Cao Pi is not called back, then Yecheng will have to be closed.

However, it is not easy to find an excuse to close Yecheng.

Zhong Yao could only simulate a thief for Cao Pi... a thief who needed to be fought by closing the door!
And this thief... must be someone Cao Pi cares about enough to make him care so much that Cao Pi is willing not to return to Yecheng for the time being.

And such a person can only be the thief who shot and killed Cao Zhi!

...

It was Zhong Yao and his gang who killed Cao Zhi.

It is indeed easier to compile.

But how can we just say that we can keep Cao Pi and others in the army and not let them come back without revealing any concrete information?
So Zhong Yao could only release some solid information!
That letter, the order to kill Cao Zhi...

...

"If Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were to make peace, the internal strife within the Cao family would be quelled immediately."

"Now that Cao Pi has sent his biological mother to join him in the battle, Cao Zhi will surely be touched and will surrender immediately."

"There are only two options left. One is to not let Madam Bian go with the army, and the other is to take the opportunity to shoot Cao Zhi!"

This letter was originally written by Xing Daorong to Zhong Yao.

Fortunately, there is no target in this letter, so Zhong Yao can make use of it now.

As for who to recommend it to...

Zhong Yao, who did not want to harm others for no reason, could only feel wronged and left Yecheng and moved his family to Chang'an City with Changlin.

However, it was the letter found in Chang Lin’s mansion that showed that Cao Zhi’s death must be related to Chang Lin.

However, Chang Lin had already left, and it is still unknown whether other people were implicated.

The purpose of sending this letter now is, on the one hand, to inform Cao Pi of this matter, and on the other hand, to ask Cao Pi to return as soon as possible so that he can personally supervise this matter!

Zhong Yao was an old hand and he knew that if he told Cao Pi directly that he wanted to close the door and catch the thief, he would most likely be suspected.

It is better to retreat in order to advance and ask Cao Pi to come back.

If Cao Pi really comes back, the clues will end here and let Cao Pi figure it out on his own.

Normally, the Lin family had died a long time ago, leaving no evidence.

If Cao Pi doesn't come back...then the task of closing the door and catching the thief will not be accomplished in a short time.

The gate of Yecheng...it's not certain how long it will be closed.

The benefits far outweigh the risks. After Zhong Yao came up with this idea, he started to implement it without any hesitation.

And it must be said that Zhong Yao's letter arrived just in time!

However, Cao Pi had already made up his mind that day. He would secretly return to Yecheng and let the two generals fly under his banner and pretend that he was still here, so that Xing Daorong would be afraid to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, he received a letter from Zhong Yao, asking him to return to Yecheng early!
Cao Zhi’s death has always been a pain in Cao Pi’s heart!

It was not only a fight between brothers, but also greatly affected the course of the entire war.

The person behind the scenes is a thorn in Cao Pi's side!

Today we finally have news, and we must investigate it thoroughly!
