Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"Sikong has decided to make the Fourth Young Master his heir. No matter how you behave in Qingzhou, you are only helping the Fourth Young Master!"

These short thirty or so words were written on a palm-sized piece of paper.

When Cao Pi saw this, he felt like he was struck by lightning!

"Boda, where did you get this news? Tell me it's not true!"

Cao Pi stared at Sima Lang and said in a deep voice.

Seeing Cao Pi's behavior, Sima Fang seemed to have expected it and said seriously:

"Does the Second Young Master know Shuda?"

"Sima Fu?" Cao Pi frowned.

"Yes, Shuda is now the literary official of the Sikong Mansion. Ever since my Sima family decided to join the Second Young Master, Shuda has been gathering information for him!"

"Not long ago, Sikong and Guo Jijiu got very drunk. From their drunken conversation, Shuda discovered that Sikong had long considered making the Fourth Young Master his heir!"

"The reason why we sent the Fourth Young Master to recapture Bingzhou is to allow him to gain military merit and establish his prestige in the army!"

"When the Fourth Young Master returns to Ye City, the Minister of State will announce this!"

"This is impossible! Since Father wanted Zijian to be his heir, why did he send me to Qingzhou? Not only did Father give me 20,000 men, he also sent Uncle Chun to support me with a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Cao Pi retorted.

That blushing look.

He is just like an unfavored child who shows off his toys to outsiders to prove that his parents still like him.

"Hehe... May I ask, Second Young Master, was the expedition to Qingzhou given to you by Sikong, or did you ask for it yourself?"

"As far as I know, the food for this expedition was provided by the Yingchuan nobles. If I were the prime minister, I would be happy to see someone volunteer to help me fight!"

Sima Lang retorted.

"This, this... Boda, what should I do? Please teach me!"

At this point, Cao Pi also knew that arguing was pointless, so he turned around and placed his hopes on Sima Lang.

"There is a way, but—"

Sima Lang hesitated to speak.

“But what!!!”

Cao Pi grabbed Sima Lang's arm tightly and said in a trembling voice.

"I just don't know if the Second Young Master is willing to do this!"

Sima Lang said coldly.

As he spoke, Sima Lang told his plan.

That is, he returned to Yecheng with an army of 20,000 and forced Cao Cao to give up his throne to him.

As for Cao Pi, he was unusually silent after hearing Sima Lang's plan.

After a long while, Cao Pi asked:

"Do you really want to do this?"

"If the Second Young Master wants to be the heir, he must do this!"

"Of course, if Second Young Master doesn't want to, then today, we will just pretend that nothing happened. Second Young Master, go back and continue drinking. After Fourth Young Master takes the throne, Second Young Master can also live a life of leisure and wealth!"

"Rich, noble, idle, people!"

Seeing Sima Lang said this.

For no reason, Cao Pi felt a surge of murderous intent in his heart.

My current position is only one step away from the peak.

Giving up at this time is nothing but wishful thinking.

Furthermore, since Cao Ang's death.

In Cao Pi's heart, everything Cao Cao owns will belong to him in the future.

In this case, then I will take action this time.

It's just taking what belongs to you in advance, it has nothing to do with rebellion!

"Yes, I'm taking what belongs to me in advance, not rebelling!"

After silently hypnotizing myself in my heart.

Cao Pi's face was serious at this time, and his whole body revealed murderous intent.

"Boda, as long as your Sima family helps me this time, then the former Yuan family will become the future Sima family!"

Cao Pi said in a deep voice.

At present, he only has the Sima family as his support, so Cao Pi is naturally generous in giving gifts.

The Yuan family is the most aristocratic family in the Han Dynasty, excluding the royal family.

Three generations of officials have been appointed as high officials, and their students and former officials are spread all over the world.

Even the royal family can claim to be on par with him.

Cao Pi used the Yuan family as an analogy at this moment.

It has been proved that what he was after was not only Cao Cao's position as Sikong, but also the position of Emperor of Xu Du.

The thought that Cao Pi dared to tell me such a sensitive topic made me feel uncomfortable.

This is enough to prove that Cao Pi regarded the Sima family as his absolute confidants.

Sima Lang then immediately performed the etiquette of a subject to Cao Pi and said respectfully:

"The Sima family is willing to serve the lord!"

"good very good!"

Seeing that Sima Lang understood what he meant, Cao Pi laughed.

Then he sent Sima Lang to mobilize troops.

He himself returned to the hall to calm Xun You and others down.

Looking at Cao Pi's receding back, Sima Lang couldn't help but sneer.

The note Sima Lang just handed to Cao Pi was deliberately written for Cao Pi to read.

exactly.

There were two letters in the envelope that came from Yecheng.

The first letter was written by Sima Fang to Sima Lang.

The content specifically states that Sima Fang spent a large sum of money to bribe one of Cao Cao's personal maids, and learned the secret of the "Three Horse Trough" from the maid.

Especially when I learned that Cao Zhi personally interpreted Cao Cao's dream.

When the "three horse feeding troughs" referred to the Sima family, Sima Fang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Recalling everything that happened in Yecheng during this period.

Sima Fang finally confirmed that Cao Cao was planning to kill the Sima family.

Since this is the case, Sima Fang will naturally not sit idly by and wait for death.

He told Sima Lang in a letter.

Let him deceive Cao Pi, return to Yecheng with a large army to kill Cao Cao and his entourage, and then support Cao Pi to take the throne.

Cao Cao can use the emperor to control the princes.

Naturally, his Sima family could use Cao Pi to control the ministers.

In order to lure Cao Pi into the trap.

Sima Fang specially added a note for Cao Pi to read in the envelope.

It seems that the note is quite effective.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Cao Pi returned to the hall.

Cao Pi asked the singing girls to leave.

When everyone was confused.

Sima Lang brought hundreds of soldiers and surrounded the hall inside and outside.

Seeing Sima Lang actually dared to lead troops to defend this place.

At this time, the generals in the hall.

For example, Xu Huang, Li Dian and Zang Ba had already drawn their swords.

"Sima Lang, what are you doing?"

Zang Ba said angrily.

Zang Ba was very unhappy about Sima Lang abusing his power for personal gain, beating him with thirty sticks and taking away his position as general.

In response to Zang Ba, his neck was cut by Sima Lang's sword.

"boom!"

Zang Ba's body fell heavily to the ground.

The fishy smell of blood also began to spread around at this moment.

This action instantly frightened everyone present.

"Zihuan, what exactly happened? Are you planning a rebellion?"

At this moment, Cao Chun spoke.

He called Cao Zhi Zihuan instead of Second Young Master.

The meaning is already clear.

In other words, I am now questioning you as your uncle.

However, Cao Pi ignored Cao Chun's question.

Instead, he looked at the people in the hall.

After a long while, Cao Pi drew his sword from his waist and said calmly:

"Submit, or die!"
