The Three Kingdoms

And standing in front of him were Prime Minister Xun Yu, Taiwei Xi Zhicai, and a young man who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome and a bit strong.

This boy became Cao Pi, the second prince of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Father, my son has already made a decision, please give me your permission!" Cao Pi knelt down on both knees and asked respectfully.

"Zihuan, do you really want to join the army?"

Cao Cao raised his head, scrutinizing his son who was growing up with sharp eyes like a cold eagle, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there another reason?"

"Father, my son has no other intentions, but now that the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty is full of flames of war, since my son has grown up, I should share my father's worries!" Cao Pi said loudly.

"Even if you want to share my worries, you don't have to go to the battlefield!"

Cao Cao was expressionless, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was cold: "You are good at government affairs, and you are not very old, so it would be inappropriate to go to the battlefield. Why bother?"

"Father, I am the son of the Cao family. Now that the world is not in peace, it is only natural for me to join the army to kill the enemy. As for the age, Sun Zhongmou, the emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, was ten years old when he fought with his father on the battlefield. What a hero. How can my son live in the capital and fall behind him, I will be the leader and inspire the soldiers!"

Cao Pi said in an agitated voice, with a bit of provocation in his words.

"Okay! Since you want to go to the battlefield, I can't stop you!"

When Cao Cao heard this, there was a touch of appreciation in his eyes.He agreed, and said: "But you have to think about it, I will not make an exception for you. There is a system in the army, and even the emperor cannot break it. If you want to become a leading general, you have to learn from a Soldiers start!"

"My son understands!"

"You go to Zuo Wuwei. General Yu Jin is a calm and capable general. You can learn from him. I will give you a general in the army. I hope you can do a good job!"

"Thank you, father, for your kindness!" Cao Pi looked a little excited.

"Zihuan, the battlefield is different from the imperial palace. On the battlefield, when the two armies are at war, those sharp knives will not avoid you because of your identity. Those who are incapable will turn into dead bodies after a big battle!"

Cao Cao said in a deep tone, "No one can guarantee safety on the battlefield. You will be in danger if you go. If you insist on going, I will not stop you, but I also have a request. You can die on the battlefield, but you must not Be a deserter, our Cao family. Deserters are not allowed!"

"Father, please don't worry, my son will never lose face to our Great Wei!" Cao Pi said firmly.

"Go!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi's delicate face, and sighed inexplicably: "Say goodbye to your mother and concubine, and don't let her worry about you!"

"promise!"

After Cao Pi saluted, he walked out of the hall.

When Cao Pi's figure completely left the hall, Cao Cao's expression became a little cold: "Wen Ruo, Zhicai, why do you think Zi Huan suddenly asked to go to the battlefield at this time?"

When Xun Yu heard the words, his expression didn't understand, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he remained silent.

"Your Majesty, the second prince has grown up, and there is nothing wrong with going to the battlefield!" Xi Zhicai said a perfunctory word silently to Cao Cao's angry gaze.

"Hmph, all of you are giving me sloppy eyes!"

Cao Cao sneered, and said calmly: "He is still determined about the position of the East Palace, he wants to control the military power!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is wise!"

The two smiled awkwardly, even if they are your absolute confidantes of Cao Cao, they don't really want to get involved in this issue.

"Forget it, I will handle this matter myself!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and didn't continue. In the end, it was all the Cao family's family affairs, and he had to deal with it himself. At this time, they got to the point. Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhi and asked, "Is there any news from Liangzhou?"

"Still waiting!"

Xi Zhicai stood up and replied, "Ma Chao is hard to convince, but I have confidence in Pang De. I believe that Jicheng will not be able to fight this battle!"

"Is there any hope of ending the fighting by the end of the year?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and his eyes flickered with worry: "I am always worried. If Sun Zhongmou really started the decisive battle between us at this time, our Great Wei may not be able to resist it. Liangzhou has been consuming hundreds of thousands of our troops, and I have no idea!"

"Your Majesty, this is the Quartet battle report!"

At this time, Xi Zhicai looked a little dignified, and handed over the files in his hand.

"Let's see, what's the fight like? Jingzhou started fighting, Tai Shici and Ju Yi jointly took the initiative to attack, the battle was stalemate, Xuzhou and Qingzhou also fought, and the flame army came out in full force? Didn't you say that Sun Wu was just bluffing?" ?”

Cao Cao frowned, put down the brush in his hand, and picked up the files to read: "Why do I feel that this battle is getting more and more intense?"

Sun Wu suddenly sent a large number of troops, and the battlefields opened up in Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and even Youzhou, the sudden battle did not make him panic.

In his opinion, it was just that Sun Quan was a little upset about losing Taiyuan, and he just regained his breath. This battle between Wu and Wei should not be able to be fought.

But now that the battle has become a little more intense, he has to wonder if Sun Quan wants to break the boat and start a decisive battle when everyone's soldiers and horses have not been rectified.

"Your Majesty, I also think something is wrong!" Xi Zhicai said.

"What's wrong?"

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the first military division of Wei Dynasty, with some doubts on his face: "Could it be that they really want a decisive battle?"

"Probably not, because their main force has not moved. Although Sun Quan is young, he is definitely not a conceited person. If he wants to fight a decisive battle, he will definitely mobilize all his troops to go north, not the current scale."

"Then tell me, what's wrong?"

"I can't tell!"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "Weichen just thinks that their dispatch of troops this time is too pretentious, and it's a bit like a big show. Usually, this kind of situation should be to cover up their real strategy!"

"Just tell me, what exactly is Sun Zhongmou thinking about now?"

Cao Cao's face was slightly dignified.

"This humble official really can't tell!" Xi Zhicai shook his head, thoughts flashed through his mind, but there were no clues: "Wu Jun has not even completely taken down the Kingdom of Shu, and the soldiers are tired and horses are exhausted, so there is not enough." I am sure that the strength will be a decisive battle with us. But more and more actions from them are telling me that their battle is not a bluff.

"Sound from east to west?"

When Cao Cao heard the words, he tentatively pointed out a direction: "Is it attacking Liangzhou?"

"It won't be Liangzhou!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "Even if Ma Chao doesn't surrender, most of Liangzhou is now the territory of our Great Wei, which is our home field. It's no good for them to invade Liangzhou at this time, and they won't do it if it's too hard. !"

"Since it's not Liangzhou, is it Bingzhou or Youzhou?"

"Not quite like that either?"

"Then what do you think they're planning?" Cao Cao put down the dossier, feeling a little annoyed.

"I just can't figure it out!" Xi Zhicai shook his head.
