I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Maybe, after finally gaining Cao Cao's trust and favor, it will be in vain again.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi didn't even bother to read the scroll.

It's not that he didn't plan to target Cao Xiong.

From the plan to assassinate Cao Cao, to secretly uniting with the Jiangdong plutocrats, to Guo Zhao leading the army in Yingzhou.

There are more or less his handwriting in it.

Unfortunately, God's luck was never on his side.

He is a loser.

Every time he corrected Yecheng affairs late at night in Tongque Terrace, Cao Pi would always go to the corridor to look at the Zhang River.

The room belonging to Empress Fu was already dark, and there was no new owner in it.

Whenever he thinks of Empress Fu, Cao Pi feels a little suffocated.

Cao Pi stood up, went to the basin next to the ice cubes, and stretched his hand into it.

The biting cold made him wake up a little bit.

Maybe it's time to ask Jia Xu for advice.

This teacher of his might be able to give him some ideas.

After dinner in the evening, Cao Pi took the carriage again and went to Jia's mansion.

Knowing that Cao Pi is coming, Jia Xu is still waiting for Cao Pi in the kiosk.

"Sir, Cao Xiong is going back to Yecheng soon, I hope you can give me some advice."

"Come back as soon as the fifth son comes back. What does the fifth son's return have to do with you?"

"Cao Xiong, after all, is the eldest son appointed by his father himself. This time, Yingzhou's final appointment is another great achievement...Sir, I managed to gain some status among the princes of Yecheng. Now Once Cao Xiong comes back, I'm afraid I'll be on the bench again."

Jia Xu ate green plums, sweet and sour, which suits his taste.

"This time, I have nothing to teach you, you can just act as you please."

Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu, his face did not have the slightest fluctuation.

It was as if Cao Pi's affairs had nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, Cao Pi regarded him as his husband, but he was not willing to help Cao Pi at all.

Chapter 1623 Jia Xu's plan

"Cao Pi knows." Cao Pi had a cold face, unwilling to smile at Jia Xu.

Cao Pi stood up and watched Jia Xu reach out to touch a green plum to eat.

Cao Pi snatched the green plum from Jia Xu's hand, "The green plum is too sour, sir, if you have bad teeth, you'd better eat less."

Jia Xu's outstretched hand stopped, and he looked at Cao Pi with his mouth pursed.

Cao Pi was looking downcast.

Cao Pi also looked at Jia Xu, wanting to see what he wanted to say.

"Shortly after the return of the Fifth Young Master, he will be sent to Yongliang again, so what is there to worry about, Young Master?"

"Are you afraid that the fifth son will not be able to move the capital of Yecheng to Chang'an?"

When Cao Pi heard this, he immediately felt that Jia Xu was a very thoughtful person, and everything should have been thought through.

He quickly sat down, rubbed his hands on his thighs, and planned to lick his face and ask Jia Xu again.

"Mr. Foresight, Cao Pi was rude!"

Cao Pi hurriedly pushed the plate containing green plums to Jia Xu, "Sir, please use it."

"Cao Pi is blunt, if there is something offensive, please forgive me...Cao Pi is blunt, there are some things, please explain in detail."

"Why was Cao Xiong sent to Qingzhou?" Jia Xu asked.

"The Japanese plague is rampant in Donglai County, Qingzhou, and the people are in dire straits, so Cao Xiong was sent to fight the Japanese plague."

"Then why didn't the throne of Wei send you there?"

Cao Pi grinned awkwardly, "I'm not good at fighting, and I can't compare with Cao Xiong in commanding troops. You are making fun of Cao Pi, sir."

"Young Master is not good at commanding troops. Naturally, there are things you are good at, such as handling the affairs of Yecheng." Jia Xu looked at him, "Young Master must be the first to know about the war in Yongliang. What happened to the battle in Yongliang? ?”

"The battle in Yongliang... Now, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as critical." Cao Pi said with eyebrows furrowed.

"Ma Chao and Cao Zhang were brave enough to lose Tianshui a few days ago. As a result, almost all of Longxi fell into Zhuge Liang's hands."

"Ma Chao and Cao Zhang finally took back Anding City with their army, so they took refuge in the city."

"I estimate that Zhuge Liang is sending the generals of Shuzhong to attack Anding day and night."

When Cao Pi said this, Jia Xu didn't even eat green plums.

Jia Xu put his hands on the table and looked at Cao Pi.

"Zhuge Liang was extremely cautious in using his troops all his life. Now, in order to win an inch of land in central Shu and Xiliang, it is considered a risky move."

"When Tianshui is lost, Zhuge Liang controls Badong County and Badong County at the same time. In this way, Hanzhong is in danger again."

"I think, if Sima Yi hadn't guarded Hanzhong, King Wei would have been unable to sit still."

"Do you understand now?"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi.

Cao Pi said thoughtfully, "That is to say, in order to understand the danger in Hanzhong, Cao Xiong will be sent to Yongliang immediately?"

"Nowadays in the court, all the generals following King Wei are guarding the important places in each state, and there is no one who can deal with Zhuge Liang."

"Besides Cao Xiong, I can't think of another person who can solve Yongliang's crisis."

Having said that, Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu with a sudden realization.

"That's why, sir, he told me that this time when Cao Xiong returns to Yecheng, let me do my own thing."

Jia Xu then ate the green plums and nodded silently.

"Mister is a great talent! Cao Pi has been taught." Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu convinced.

At this time, in Cao Pi's eyes, Jia Xu's talent was no less than Xun Yu's.

At least, he has another reliable person who can help him deal with Cao Xiong.

There is such a person in Yecheng, even if there is no help from God, Cao Pi is not afraid that he will be trampled down by Cao Xiongnei in a short time.

Chapter 1624 Weak Cao Cao

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Cao Xiong led tigers and leopards into the city from the east gate.

The news of Cao Xiong's return had reached Yecheng three days ago.

Cao Pi was in charge of various affairs in Yecheng, so naturally he went to the east gate to meet Cao Xiong in person.

"Fifth brother has made another great contribution, what a joy to congratulate!" At the east gate of Ye City, Cao Pi smiled and congratulated Cao Xiong.

"Second brother is really polite." Cao Xiong also stretched out his hand to pat the back of Cao Pi's hand, "However, what do you mean by sending Guo Zhao to Yingzhou?"

"Guo Zhao? Yingzhou?" Cao Pi looked at Cao Xiong in surprise, "Have you met Guo Zhao?"

"Second brother doesn't know?"

Cao Pi shook his head resolutely, "Guo Zhao disappeared from the prison not long after he was put in prison. I searched hard for half a year, but there was no news of him."

"Oh~" Cao Xiong gave a strange oh, and then patted Cao Pi's arm.

Cao Xiong's hands were so strong that he almost knocked Cao Pi down.

"That really bothered the second brother." Cao Xiong gave Cao Pi a white look, and then went into the city with Dianman.

When Dianman was about to leave, he also gave Cao Pi a blank look.

Although Cao Pi was angry in his heart, he still smiled silly on the surface.

Looking at Cao Xiong's back, Cao Pi made a strong memory of these two people in his heart.

In the middle of the court, in the mansion where Cao Cao lived.

Outside, Cao Xiong was quickly walking up the steps step by step.

Cao Xiong was originally Yecheng who returned quickly.

Originally, he wanted to rest for half a day before going to Cao Cao's mansion to see him.

However, as soon as Cao Xiong returned to his mansion, the housekeeper told him that King Wei had been waiting for him for a long time.

After Cao Xiong heard about this, he thought for a while, turned around and left the mansion, heading towards Cao Cao.

The door on the mansion terrace was open.

Cao Xiong came in cautiously from the outside, and saw Cheng Yu waiting in the outer room.

"Hello sir." Cao Xiong saluted Cheng Yu.

"Fifth Young Master is back." Cheng Yu greeted Cao Xiong.

"Where's the father?" Cao Xiong looked at Cheng Yu with an uneasy expression.

Cheng Yu looked at him, "Wei Wang has a headache again...he's not in good spirits, go in and see him."

Cao Xiong nodded, then went into the back room, and saw Cao Cao sitting on the couch.

Cao Cao lowered his head halfway, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Cao Xiong almost doubted whether Cao Cao had fallen asleep.

"Father?" Cao Xiong tentatively called Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't answer.

Cao Cao knelt on the ground and looked up at Cao Cao.

Just as he was about to call out again, Cao Cao spoke suddenly.

"Xiong'er." Cao Cao said in a hoarse voice.

"Father, it's the baby, the baby is back!" Cao Xiong kowtowed to Cao Cao.

"How about the battle in Qingzhou?" Cao Cao still kept his eyes closed.

"Returning to my father, the Japanese plague in Qingzhou is over, and it has been two years since Yingzhou came to Yecheng to pay tribute." Cao Xiong said, "I have sent back to Yecheng the specific battle reports."

"Other things, I will sort them out and submit them to you."

"Xiong'er." Cao Cao said without moving, "I remember when I gave birth to you..."

"At that time, you were weak, your limbs were weak, and you were infected with diseases."

Cao Xiong was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Cao Cao suddenly said this, "Father Wang said so."

"The child was not in good health when he was young, but after his body became stronger, that was a later thing."

Cao Cao opened his eyes slightly and looked at Cao Xiong, "At that time, besides Mrs. Bian, I was the one who cared about you the most, besides Mrs. Bian."

Chapter 1625 Mrs. Bian is also sick

Cao Xiong looked at Cao Cao's eyes, even though he was obviously not in good spirits, there was still a light in his eyes that could read people's hearts.
