Five days later.

South gate of Yecheng.

Cao Cao brought a group of civil and military officials to see Cao Pi off.

At this moment, Cao Pi remembered Sima Yi's last words.

Try your best to play your role well.

Facing Cao Cao, he was a good son.

Facing a group of ministers, he was the sharp-edged General of the Five Officials.

With his skillful dancing.

Some ministers actually came up with the idea that Cao Pi could rival Cao Zhi.

So they became even more enthusiastic about Cao Pi.

In response to this, Cao Pi chose to return the favor: if you give me an inch, I will give you a yard.

The fight between Cao Pi and his ministers became increasingly intense.

Cao Cao snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Only then did Cao Pi realize that he had acted too much.

So he hurried to Cao Cao and said sternly:

"Please rest assured, father. If I fail to conquer Qingzhou this time, I won't be coming back!"

"Haha... I'm very pleased that my son is so determined. As your father, I wish you success in advance!"

As he was speaking, Cao Cao asked someone to bring two glasses of fine wine.

Cao Pi took the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

……

Behind the crowd.

After seeing this scene, Cao Zhang felt dissatisfied.

Especially after seeing Cao Pi, Xun You, Cao Chun and a group of Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen all put on double stirrups.

Cao Zhang's dissatisfaction grew even stronger.

In his opinion, Cao Pi and others took advantage of Cao Zhi by switching to double stirrups.

Especially after seeing Cao Cao lend the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to Cao Pi.

Cao Zhang's dissatisfaction reached its peak at this moment.

Why did Cao Zhi only have 5,000 cavalrymen when he went to attack Bingzhou?

But when Cao Pi went to Qingzhou, he had 20,000 soldiers and 1,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

In Cao Zhang's opinion, what Cao Cao did was unfair.

Just when Cao Zhang was thinking of doing something to disgust Cao Pi.

At this moment, Yang Xiu stopped Cao Zhang who was about to attack.

"Yang Dezu, which side are you on? Are you trying to bet on both sides?"

Because he was dissatisfied with Cao Pi.

At this moment, Cao Zhang also did not give a good look to Yang Xiu who tried to stop him.

"My Third Young Master, I'm naturally on your and Fourth Young Master's side!"

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and then explained:

"I know you're unhappy with the Second Young Master, but his expedition this time is a matter of state. If you disrupt it at this time, won't the blame fall on the Fourth Young Master?"

"Yeah...you're right!"

When Yang Xiu mentioned Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang stopped talking.

But when he thought about how Cao Pi had clearly taken advantage of Cao Zhi, he felt unable to vent his anger on Cao Zhi's behalf.

Cao Zhang felt extremely aggrieved at this moment.

……

Cao Pi did not hear the conversation between Cao Zhang and Yang Xiu.

But Cao Pi felt Cao Zhang's undisguised hostility.

When I thought about how Cao Zhang was obviously his biological brother from the same mother, yet he was now standing on Cao Zhi's side, I felt really bad.

At this moment, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a nameless anger in his heart.

"Ziwen, Zijian, just wait! When I get the position of heir, I'll make you suffer!"

After secretly telling myself this.

The gloom on Cao Pi's face immediately dissipated.

After waving goodbye to everyone.

Cao Pi jumped on his horse.

He led Xun You, Cao Chun, and a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the south.

……

in the crowd.

Xun Yu watched Cao Pi's changes throughout the whole process.

After seeing that Cao Pi is now able to control his temper freely.

Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction.

But even so, Xun Yu still felt that Cao Pi was no match for Cao Zhi.

"What's wrong with me……"

When Xun Yu found that this idea inexplicably emerged in his mind, he was shocked by himself.

……

Cao Pi and others had just left.

Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's side.

"Sikong, three days ago, Sima Lang quietly left Yecheng with nineteen members of the Sima family. Judging from their direction, they headed south!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"Twenty people? The Sima family has a really big appetite!"

It seems that the Sima family is indeed using Cao Pi to strengthen themselves.

Cao Cao was filled with murderous intent.

……

Seven days later.

Cao Pi and others marched day and night.

At this moment, we finally arrived at the Yellow River.

It is also the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Just got here.

Cao Pi found Xu Huang and Li Dian and told them Cao Cao's appointment.

After hearing Cao Pi say that Cao Cao was going to send troops to attack Qingzhou, the two were immediately overjoyed.

In the eyes of the two, this was Cao Pi giving himself credit.

So the two of them became more polite to Cao Pi.

Upon seeing this, Cao Pi also lowered his status and wholeheartedly made friends with the two.

The relationship between the three of them heated up unknowingly.

Seeing that Cao Pi looked a bit like Cao Cao in his youth, Xun You nodded with satisfaction.

He then told Cao Pi that he was going back to Yingchuan County to prepare food and fodder.

Cao Pi and others can go to Xuzhou first.

After preparing money and food, he would go to Xuzhou to meet Cao Pi.

Upon hearing this, Cao Pi hurriedly bowed and escorted Xun You out of the military camp.

……

Another ten days passed.

Cao Pi brought Xu Huang, Li Dian, Cao Chun and others to Xuzhou.

Inside Xia Pi City.

When he heard Cao Pi tell Cao Cao about his arrangements.

Yu Jin and Zang Ba looked at each other and couldn't help showing bitterness on their faces.

Although the two of them are now in Xuzhou, holding both military and political power, the emperor is far away.

But when they thought about the situation around Xuzhou, they didn't dare to relax at all.

Especially after learning that Zang Ba and 20,000 defenders were about to be taken away by Cao Pi.

Yu Jin's frown deepened.

Xuzhou is no different from other places.

What if Liu Biao or Sun Quan took the opportunity to cause trouble at this time?

If something unexpected happens, you will be the one to take the blame.

It's about not hesitating during the period.

Suddenly, a servant came to report.

It is said that Sima Lang of the Sima family came to visit with a group of Sima family members.

"Sima Lang, why did he come to see me?"

Yu Jin felt doubtful.

"But Sima Boda?"

This does not mean that responses are prohibited. Cao Pi contributed the most glorious moment of his acting career at this moment.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Cao Pi ran out at a trot.

It won’t take long.

Cao Pi brought back twenty members of the Sima family, including Sima Lang.

After learning that Cao Pi was going to lead troops to attack Qingzhou.

Everyone in the Sima family volunteered, expressing their willingness to be a soldier and help the court recapture Qingzhou.

It’s amazing to see that Sima Lang, a mere scholar, has such courage.

In the end, Yu Jin did not say the word "reject".

He just kept telling Cao Pi to fight quickly and decisively.

Cao Pi naturally agreed to this.

That straightforward look made Yu Jin's scalp tingle.

Without any choice.

Yu Jin could only deploy all the remaining 10,000 troops to the south and southwest of Xuzhou.

As for Cao Pi, after he received 20,000 troops from Yu Jin.

The power of personnel appointment and dismissal in the army was immediately handed over to Sima Lang.

Sima Lang would naturally not be polite with such an opportunity.

Directly let the brothers of his own family occupy key positions.

three days later.

Xu Huang, Li Dian and Zang Ba made an astonishing discovery.

If the three of them wanted to mobilize their soldiers, they had to get Sima Lang's approval.

This humiliating scene made the three of them want to quit instantly.

Just when the three of them were about to ask Cao Chun to judge the case.

But Sima Lang got ahead of him and blocked his way.

"Three of you, when a large army goes out to war, the most important thing to avoid is discord between the generals and the commanders. You can't rely on your seniority to bully the young Second Young Master!"

Sima Lang said coldly.

"Fuck me!!!"

Seeing Sima Lang actually turning the tables.

The three of them were suddenly furious.

Just when the three were about to teach Sima Lang a lesson.

Sima Lang's attitude suddenly became very gentle.

He began to preach to the three of them and talked about how difficult Cao Pi's life was.

This is a combination of hardness and softness.

The three of them were completely out of temper.

Fortunately, the three of them realized that they would only work with Sima Lang for a month at most.

So the three of them gritted their teeth, pinched their noses, and let Sima Lang talk nonsense.

Just like that, thanks to Sima Lang's operation.

Sima Lang took control of the 20,000-strong army in the fastest possible time.

Of course, according to what Sima Lang said to Cao Pi.

Now the 20,000-strong army is under Cao Pi's control!
