The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 502 Cao Pi's ambition
"Hahahahaha," the boss also laughed, "How do you know my true identity?"

"I often heard that the lord has several sons, among which Cao Ang, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are the most outstanding. Cao Ang is older than you, and he came from the army. Your temperament does not match him. Cao Zhi is younger, and his figure is definitely not as tall as yours, so you It must be Cao Pi." Li Yuan expressed his conjecture.

"It seems that Deputy Commander Zhao is not only strong in martial arts, but also powerful in resourcefulness. I have not misjudged the man." Cao Pi praised, and he has Cao Cao's demeanor in every word and deed. This kind of bearing is really rare, and it is worthy of being the famous Wei Wendi in "history".

Li Yuan asked: "Mr. Cao has a mysterious identity and never meets outsiders. Why did he agree to my request to meet?"

"That's because of the special status of Deputy Commander Zhao, so I agreed to meet. Even if you don't come to me, I will go to you." Cao Pi had long wanted to meet Li Yuan, "I will tell you, that day you competed with Dian Wei. I was secretly watching from the sidelines at that time, and I was shocked by your martial arts at that time. You must know that Dian Wei is the number one fighter under my father's command. Even if he is as strong as Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, he is not his opponent, but you can fight He played evenly, proving that your strength is not inferior to his. "

"Thank you Mr. Cao for your praise. The reason why I was able to fight on par with Dian Commander that day is luck. If I fight again, I don't have the confidence to be able to draw with him. Dian Commander's martial arts are superior to mine." Li Yuan Modestly said, the fact is also the same, he and Dian Wei are already at the same level, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in another fight.

Cao Pi was even more happy to see Li Yuan being so modest, and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Zhao is highly skilled in martial arts, but he is still neither humble nor overbearing. Nothing is impossible."

"Hahahahaha, Mr. Cao is really flattering and killing me. I am just a reckless man. When it comes to martial arts, I am not bad. When it comes to commanding the three armies, I am far inferior to the generals under the command of the lord." He looked like he didn't understand anything, he didn't want to make himself too sharp, otherwise it would attract suspicion.

"Deputy Commander Zhao, I wait for the wise to keep secrets. Although you don't have much contact with me, what kind of person do you think I am?" Cao Pi suddenly asked a very abrupt question.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Cao Pi asked such a question. He thought for a while and replied, "Judging from his appearance alone, Mr. Cao is a very magnanimous person, and he can always be the boss of Liuxiang Pavilion. Living in seclusion behind the scenes proves that you have considerable talent, and from the conversation just now, it can be seen that you are a good talker." Li Yuan gave a pertinent evaluation, because he didn't have much contact with him, so he didn't know Cao Pi's personality very well.

"Your evaluation is very pertinent. Are you wondering why I have to ask such a question?"

"That's right." Li Yuan nodded.

"I also think I have good talents. Since a year ago, I wanted to train myself, so I established Liuxiang Pavilion with the help of my father. Now the business of Liuxiang Pavilion is getting better and better, but I have never realized it. I always stand behind the scenes and do things because I don’t want to be too aggressive and arouse suspicion, after all, I am still young, if I behave too well, it will definitely arouse suspicion.”

"But you are the son of the lord, with a noble status, who dares to talk about your affairs casually?" Li Yuan thought that with Cao Pi's status, many people should respect him.

"Deputy Commander Zhao, you are not me so you don't understand my situation. It is precisely because I am the son of Cao Cao that you have to be modest and cautious. The so-called respect of others is only superficial, especially my father's men. They respect me. Not from the bottom of my heart, but because of my father, I am respectful, but this kind of superficial respect is not what I want, what I want is that they respect me from the bottom of their hearts." Cao Pi said here with a twinkle in his eyes. At the same time, he exposed his ambition in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't expect the young Cao Pi in front of him to have such big ambitions and city power. He is a humble person in front of others. In fact, he wants to get more, but he has never shown it.

"Why did Mr. Cao tell me this?" Li Yuan asked cautiously, feeling a little bad at the same time.

"Because I want to get the support of Deputy Commander Zhao," Cao Pi said directly, "You also know that my father has several sons, and his wives and concubines are countless. There must be more heirs in the future, but the most outstanding one today There are only Cao Ang, Cao Zhi and I. Simply put, my competitors are only the two of them. If I want to inherit my father's great cause in the future, I must defeat them first, so I need talented people to assist me, Deputy Commander Zhao It is a very suitable candidate.”

Li Yuan had already expected that Cao Pi wanted to win him over just now, so he asked: "Your Majesty, there are countless talented people under his command. Guo Jia is far-sighted and resourceful, and he is a genius in this world; Xun You is full of schemes and has the talents of the world; I am far inferior to them in terms of resourcefulness. .Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are good at fighting and have a good command of soldiers. They are all veterans in the battlefield. I don’t think it’s better to send troops in rotation; Trust, why choose me instead of them?"

"The people you mentioned are all people with great talents, but there is one reason why I can't choose them, and that is loyalty. They are all old subordinates who have followed Dad for many years. They are loyal to Dad. Although they have great talents, they all I am under my father's subordinates. In their eyes, I can only be regarded as a young boy. How can they think highly of me and use me, so I must personally choose my own team. Deputy Commander Zhao, you are very special The right person."

"Is that because I haven't been serving the Lord for a long time?" Li Yuan immediately thought of the important point, and at the same time felt that Cao Pi was really smart. What Cao Cao left behind, it is no wonder that he can inherit Cao Cao's great cause in the future. Because of him, Sima Yi did not dare to act rashly after Cao Cao's death.

"You are right. It is because you have served my father for a short time, so I choose you. My father has a master guard like Dian Wei. I also hope that you can become my 'Dian Wei'. I don't know what you want." How?" Cao Pi threw an olive branch to Li Yuan, and he said so much to Li Yuan tonight, which shows that he really hopes to get Li Yuan.
