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

Cui Yan had long known Jia Xu's name.

But because Jia Xu has a bad reputation.

Therefore, Cui Yan was proud of his status and did not make friends with Jia Xu.

But after seeing Jia Xu's performance today.

Cui Yan understood that Jia Xu was trying to show goodwill to Cao Pi through him.

Or maybe Jia Xu had already defected to Cao Zhi.

"No, with Jia Xu's intelligence and character, how could Zijian control him?"

Thinking of this, Cui Yan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He knew that Cao Zhi was powerful, but he didn't think Cao Zhi could control Jia Xu.

……

In the hall.

With Cui Yan taking the lead.

At this time, there were other people in the hall.

There is no longer the previous reserve.

It was a foregone conclusion that Cao Pi would succeed to the position of Sikong.

Some people even saw Cao Pi's rebellion as an opportunity for advancement for themselves and their families.

He was so enthusiastic towards Cao Pi and Sima Lang.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Cao Pi was also very generous.

All those who worked hard for him were promoted.

All the important positions were replaced by members of the Sima family.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Yu glared angrily.

He did remember.

When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were competing for the position of heir.

The forces Cao Pi relied on were the Yingchuan gentry and the Henan gentry.

But now Cao Pi's means of consolidating his power is to rely solely on the Sima family?

What does it mean? Have you given up on the Henan gentry?

As for Xun Yu, he remained silent at this moment.

He thought of the conversation he had with Xun You before Cao Pi went on the expedition.

At this moment, he finally understood that Cao Cao was going to deal with the Sima family.

Since Cao Cao had made preparations in advance, Cao Pi's usurpation of the throne this time was a complete joke!

"Xun Lingjun, what do you think of the orders I just gave?"

At this moment, Cao Pi walked up to Xun Yu and said respectfully.

Although he is now extremely dependent on Sima Lang.

However, Cao Pi still had great respect for the Yingchuan gentry and Xun Yu.

What he wanted most, besides Cao Cao's recognition, was Xun Yu's support.

Therefore, after taking control of the situation.

Cao Pi found Xun Yu as soon as possible.

"I have no opinion!"

Xun Yu said calmly, "Excuse me, Second Young Master, where is Gongda now?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Xun. Since Military Advisor Xun is in Linzi, Qingzhou must be guarded!"

Cao Pi said.

"In that case, I will thank the Second Young Master on Gongda's behalf!"

Xun Yu said.

Cao Pi knew that Xun Yu was thanking him for not killing Xun You.

Cao Pi then bowed hurriedly and said, "Although I am now temporarily in charge of the position of Minister of Works, the operation of the court cannot be separated from the Secretariat. I still ask your Excellency to help me!"

"Of course. It is my duty to serve the court, Xun Yu. But there is one thing I want to tell the Second Young Master in advance!" Xun Yu said.

Seeing Xun Yu offering to help him, Cao Pi was delighted and said, "Xun Lingjun, please tell me."

"I understand that the Second Young Master and the Minister of State have different understandings of governing a country, but governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. After the Second Young Master takes over the position of the Minister of State, if you encounter someone who disagrees with you, please refrain from killing them!"

"This... Zihuan understands!"

Cao Pi bowed.

He knew that Xun Yu was advising him not to kill innocent people.

Cao Pi also knew that what he had to do now was to quickly turn the forces, big and small, in Yecheng into his own forces, rather than just killing people.

Therefore, Cao Pi listened to Xun Yu's valuable advice.

……

The power grab has been preliminarily resolved.

After Cao Pi handed over all matters, big and small, to Sima Lang.

He took Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and five hundred soldiers with him.

Rushed to Cao Zhi's mansion.

When I think of Cao Zhi.

Cao Pi wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Since Cao Zhi didn't come back.

Then kill Cao Zhi's most important person.

No, take all of Cao Zhi’s women away!

He recalled the humiliation he suffered in Yuan Shao's rear residence half a year ago.

Cao Pi couldn't help but quicken his pace.

……

After one stick of incense.

Outside Cao Zhi's mansion.

When Cao Zhang had just sent the last group of people who were close to Cao Zhi into the mansion.

next moment.

Cao Pi appeared outside Cao Zhi's mansion with a group of soldiers.

"You're quite clever, but this is a good idea. It saves me from having to send people all over the city to apprehend them!"

Cao Pi sneered.

"You traitor, you're not worthy enough to arrest me!"

Cao Zhang retorted.

He was never afraid of Cao Pi.

"He's got a sharp tongue. Who's going to take him down for me?"

Cao Pi said coldly.

At this point, Cao Pi paused and added: "Don't worry about life or death!"

"I come!"

Behind Cao Pi, Lu Kuang volunteered.

Unlike others who avoided Cao Pi.

After seeing how much Cao Pi valued Sima Lang.

At this time, he also wanted to become Cao Pi's confidant like Sima Lang.

How to quickly become Cao Pi's confidant?

Of course, it was to do the dirty work for Cao Pi.

Therefore, after hearing Cao Pi say the four words "don't care about life or death".

Lu Kuang knew that his chance had come.

"Okay, if you kill him, I'll make you General Anbei!"

Cao Pi said.

"Thank you, Er...Sikong!"

When Lu Kuang heard Cao Pi mention General Anbei as the first thing he did, he was overjoyed.

He then picked up a long sword and rushed straight towards Cao Zhang.

"court death!"

Seeing an unknown soldier dare to provoke him.

Cao Zhang was furious.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Lü Kuang was pierced by Cao Zhang's halberd.

He didn't even have time to say a single last word.

Cao Zhang threw the body at Cao Pi's feet like garbage.

"This is your General Anbei. He is indeed the same as you, with a silver spear and a candlestick!"

Cao Zhang taunted.

"Archers prepare!"

Cao Pi said coldly.

next moment.

Dozens of archers appeared in front of Cao Pi, and dense arrows were immediately aimed at Cao Zhang.

"屮!"

Seeing that Cao Pi was so immoral, Cao Zhang immediately wanted to retreat.

Although he is reckless, he is not stupid.

"Haha, I know I'm scared, but it's too late!"

Cao Pi said coldly.

Then Cao Pi raised his right hand.

Just as he was about to give the order to shoot.

Suddenly, the door behind Cao Zhang opened.

Mrs. Bian appeared in front of Cao Pi.

"Zihuan, do you really want to kill your own brother?"

Mrs. Bian said with great sorrow.

……

On the official road fifty miles west of Yecheng.

A large army was marching rapidly.

There were so many people that it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

How they flooded.

Just one glance is enough to make people feel terrified.

They carried a murderous aura.

It makes people understand that this is a veteran who has experienced blood and fire.

But what is puzzling is.

In such a murderous team.

There were actually women, and more than one.

This team is naturally Cao Zhi's team.

And the women in the team.

Naturally, they are Diao Chan, Lu Lingqi and Cai Wenji.

Originally according to Cao Zhi's idea.

He and others rode horses, and the three women were provided with carriages.

However, he was rejected by the three women.

According to Lv Lingqi, "Children in troubled times don't have to be so particular!"

The other two girls also agreed.

Since the three women said so, Cao Zhi naturally would not go against the women's wishes.

He just quietly shortened the distance the army advanced every day.

"The army has stopped. Let's all rest here today!"

Suddenly, Cao Zhi stopped everyone, pointed to an open space not far away, and shouted.

As soon as Cao Zhi gave this order.

The army immediately obeyed the order.

Everyone dismounted.

Some went to find water, some went to find firewood, and some took out their dry food and started to eat quietly...

At this moment, on the official road ahead.

Suddenly a galloping figure appeared.

"It's him!"

The moment I saw the figure on horseback.

The expression on Cao Zhi's face immediately became serious.
