Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 8 Welcome Cao Cao back to the city
Chapter 8 Welcome Cao Cao back to the city
Southern Expedition failed?

Could it be the legendary Battle of Chibi?

Cao Chong had just crossed over and was either busy being Diao Chan's man or quelling Lu Bu's rebellion, so he had no energy to think about Cao Cao's Southern Expedition.

Now that his health has reached nearly a hundred days, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, so he has time to think about Cao Cao's Southern Expedition.

Calculating the time, this year is the 13th year of Jian'an, and in this year, many major historical events took place.

At this time, the land of China is full of holes and wounds, and the land is full of mourners. The Han Empire has existed in name only.

In this year, Cao Cao dismissed the three officials and set up prime ministers to monopolize the power of the court.

This year, Liu Biao died of illness, Cao Cao went south, and Jingzhou changed hands.

This year, the alliance of Sun and Liu against Cao Jun opened the prelude to the tripartite confrontation.

It now appears that Cao Cao's failure in the Southern Expedition refers to the Battle of Chibi.

"Fuck, I just crossed over, and Lao Cao lost to Chibi."

The impact of the Battle of Chibi on the Three Kingdoms is well known, needless to say, Cao Chong felt a little regretful that he missed such a famous battle.

At the same time, Cao Chong's hostility towards Cao Pi became more intense.

It's no wonder that Cao Pi showed his courtesy today, delivered medicine, and asked his beautiful sister-in-law to accompany him. The purpose was to drag him to the prime minister's mansion and prevent him from meeting Lao Cao.

Just imagine, when Cao Cao just lost his Southern Expedition, he was in a bad mood. If he knew that he was chatting with two beauties in the prime minister's mansion and didn't go to pick him up, how would he feel.

Cao Pi's move was really poisonous, and it left no trace of insidiousness.

Fortunately, Zhen Ji revealed important information to herself through the decoction, otherwise she would have been fooled.

"Sister-in-law, thank you very much." Cao Chong made a salute to Zhen Ji.

Zhen Ji took the note in Cao Chong's hand and tore it up, "Brother, please don't thank me, I don't know anything."

Diao Chan is also a smart person, knowing the stakes, "Husband, there is no need to delay, you act quickly, my sister-in-law and I only know that you went to a latrine on the way, and never came back."

These words are undoubtedly to help Zhen Ji cover up and prevent Cao Pi from being unfavorable to Zhen Ji.

Cao Chong was moved in his heart, the beautiful wife is so considerate and intelligent, and the beautiful sister-in-law loves him so much, what more could a husband ask for.

"Okay, I'll come as soon as I go." Cao Chong strode out the door.

It should not be too late, since Cao Pi deliberately kept him in the mansion, it means that Cao Cao is almost at Xudu, if he is late to greet him, Cao Pi will really succeed.

"This Cao Pi really knows how to play tricks!"

"Hey, insidious villain, I despise you!"

Cao Chong cursed all the way, wishing to scold Cao Pi's eighteenth generation ancestors, but when he thought of his relationship with Cao Pi, he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Ding, the system prompts a new mission, and Cao Cao was successfully greeted."

If I go, meeting Cao Cao can be a task?
Cao Chong was quite surprised. It is not normal to welcome Cao Cao, how could it be set as a task.

Unless it is not that simple to greet Cao Cao.

Could it be that Cao Cao will not enter the city?
Impossible, Cao Cao had just been defeated in the battle of Chibi, and Lu Bu rebelled in Xudu, Cao Cao must have returned to his heart like an arrow, the team must have traveled day and night, rushing for hundreds of miles, and arrived in Xudu so quickly.

It is completely illogical to say that Cao Cao will not enter the city.

Cao Chong stroked his chin and began to think. There are four gates in Xudu, namely the east gate, west gate, south gate and north gate.

Cao Cao was defeated at Chibi, and traveled from south to north, and when he arrived at Xudu, he must pass through the south gate.

Presumably Cao Pi is waiting for Cao Cao at the South Gate at this moment.

But since the system has given the task, it means that Cao Cao's entry into the city is not that simple. It is very likely that Cao Cao will enter the city through other gates.

right!That's it!

Cao Chong's eyes lit up, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

"System, although you are usually quite stingy, I have to praise you this time. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost overlooked this point."

Cao Chong has already concluded that Cao Cao will not enter the city through the south gate.

Because Lu Bu rebelled, Xu Du had just quelled the rebellion. With Cao Cao's character, he must have felt that there were rebels in the city, and those rebels would definitely be against him.

In order to catch him by surprise, Cao Cao must not take the usual path.

Everyone knew that Cao Cao would enter the city from the south gate, so Cao Cao didn't think so, he was unexpected, and by the way, he looked at the movements of various forces in the city to know if there were any rebels in Xudu.

"Hahaha, Cao Cao must go to the north gate. The north gate is the closest to the imperial palace. In addition, no one would have thought that after entering the north gate, he can go directly to the imperial palace. First he will appease Emperor Xian, and then deal with the funeral of Lu Bu's rebellion."

"Then take the opportunity to observe the situation at the South Gate and the movements of other family forces."

"Young Master is so smart that he accidentally fell in love with Lao Cao's plan."

Cao Chong immediately changed direction and headed for the north gate.

On the way, I met Ma Teng and Xia Houba, who were escorting Lu Bu's party to the prison.

"Xiahouba, Xiahoushang, you don't want to detain any prisoners, just leave these matters to Mr. Ma, and you guys will follow me to a place."

Although Cao Chong had no intention of fighting for the inheritance, he had to be defensive. If he wanted to deal with Cao Pi's murder, he could not do without a younger brother.

And Xiahouba, Xiahoushang and the others just happened to be Cao Chong's younger brothers.

Their father wanted to go back to Xudu with Cao Cao, and took them to meet their father, just to make them owe him a favor.

……

On the other end, Xudu South Gate.

Cao Pi took Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and the officials of the Xiangfu to greet Cao Cao ten miles away.

Only without Cao Chong.

This time the welcoming team is completely headed by Cao Pi, as long as Cao Cao is greeted, then Cao Pi is a small feat.

Then take the opportunity to say to Cao Cao what he misses and to boost his morale. Cao Cao will be overjoyed and will like this son even more.

On the contrary, Cao Chong did not go out to greet Cao Cao because he accompanied the beauty, which would definitely disappoint Cao Cao.

In this way, Cao Chong's pacification of Lu Bu's rebellion will be covered up, and Cao Pi, a filial son, will shine brightly because he greets his old father ten miles away.

What Cao Pi wanted to see was that Cao Cao was disappointed with Cao Chong. For this reason, Cao Pi took advantage of his wife.

Thinking about it, Cao Pi, as the eldest son, did nothing to put down Lu Bu's rebellion. Instead, Cao Chong, who was only 14 years old, wiped out Lu Bu with one move.

Whichever eldest son is changed, he will worry about whether he can successfully inherit the family business.

Now Cao Pi has walked 99 steps in a hundred steps, and he is just short of the last step.

This time Cao Pi was confident and full of confidence, and even imagined in advance the result of his successful plan.

He was praised by his father, while Cao Chong was reprimanded by his father. The credit for calming Lu Bu was regarded as useless.

As an elder brother, he helped Cao Chong speak well, so he gave his father a good image of being sensible and taking care of the overall situation.

Haha, Cao Chong, you are doomed.

"My lord, it's not good!"

Just when Cao Pi was fantasizing, a voice brought him back to reality, "The young master is at the north gate, and he has received the prime minister."

Cao Pi: "..."
