Half a month later, Huchuquan, Kebineng, Budugen, Suli and other leaders arrived in Liaodong one after another.
These people gathered together to discuss matters with Cao Pi.
For three consecutive days, all parties proposed different conditions, but Cao Pi did not agree. There was no progress in sending troops to Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan.
The two sides argued for another half a month before reaching an agreement.
Cao Pi agreed to give some food and weapons to Xianbei, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and the three parties finally agreed. In November, Cao Pi left Liaodong and returned south to Yecheng.
At the same time, the leaders of Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan all led their soldiers southward. Xianbei attacked Bingzhou, the Xiongnu attacked Liangzhou, and Wuhuan attacked Youzhou. As a result, the northern front of the Shu army was all in a hurry and faced a huge challenge.
Pressure. The first to be captured was Yanmen County, which was closest to Xianbei and was captured by Xianbei.
Not long after, news spread that Cao Pi had united with Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan.
…
Hulao Pass, Wei army camp.
Cao Cao got the news from the north very early, because after Cao Ang reported the news of Cao Pi going north, Cao Cao sent people to pay close attention to the matter. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi actually persuaded the foreign tribes from the north to invade south, and it was also the Xiongnu, Wu
Huan and Xianbei marched south together, their momentum was overwhelming and irresistible.
Cao Cao was furious and ordered Cao Pi to come to Hulao Pass immediately.
Cao Pi had only returned to Yecheng for a few days, and before he had time to catch his breath, he had to continue heading south.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Cao Pi stood respectfully in the tent without saying a word.
Cao Cao sat above, with cold eyes, and sneered: "Pi'er, you have really grown up. You have such courage and courage to persuade Xianbei, Wuhuan and the Xiongnu to go south. It's amazing. I admire you! I am not as good as you as a father.
,a lot!"
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Pi bowed his head, not daring to look into Cao Cao's eyes.
The more this is the case, the more angry Cao Cao is.
At this time, Cao Cao stood up, strode to Cao Pi, patted Cao Pi's face, and said in a deep voice: "Pi'er, you are very smart, you are really smart. Xianbei, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan went south, and the Shu Kingdom
The northern front is in danger. You saved the Wei State. You are a hero of the Wei State and your father should reward you."
Cao Pi raised his head and said calmly: "I don't dare to take credit."
"Snapped!!"
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao raised his palm and slapped Cao Pi in the face.
This slap made Cao Pi dizzy and fell to the ground. He looked at Cao Cao and touched his painful cheek, knowing that Cao Cao was angry.
However, Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao stubbornly, with no intention of begging for mercy.
He believed that what he did was right and not wrong.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Pi'er, you did the right thing, but you also did the wrong thing, so I still have to beat you. I defeated the Wei State with my own hands, and I don't want it to be destroyed. No one is willing to let it be destroyed."
.”
"However, you have forgotten one thing: we are Han people."
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. Han people and foreigners do not know what they are capable of. You let the Huns, Xianbei and Wuhuan people interfere. Although you temporarily saved the country's prestige, you only attracted the wolf into the house. If the wolf comes, you want to drive it away.
It’s not easy.”
"My fight with Wang Can is a matter between Han people, an internal fight. He and I can fight to the death, but there is a bottom line. We cannot let the Huns, Xianbei and Wuhuan people interfere. Even if I lose
After marrying Wang Can, I don’t feel any regrets, it’s just a success or failure.”
As Cao Cao spoke, he showed an awe-inspiring look on his face, which made the civil servants and generals in the tent admire him.
However, everyone looked solemn.
Cao Pi shook his head and said: "Father, if you think so, will Wang Can understand you?"
Cao Cao snorted, stood in front of Cao Pi, condescended, and said proudly: "I am fighting with Wang Can. I have my own persistence. I don't need Wang Can's consideration. If I lose, I lose. I don't need sympathy or sympathy."
Compassion. You can do things unscrupulously, you can be thick-faced, but you have to have your own bottom line."
Cao Pi saw that Cao Cao was stubborn and knew that it was impossible to persuade Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and said in a deep voice: "You have made a big mistake. From today on, you will be expelled from your home and the Cao clan. Okay, go pack your things and leave the camp."
"ah!!"
Cao Pi opened his eyes wide with an incredible expression.
Expelling him from his home and the Cao clan is equivalent to kicking him out of the house.
Cao Pi was unwilling to give up, so he ran away, hugged Cao Cao's thighs with both hands, and said: "Father, my son has devoted himself to planning for the Cao family and the Wei State. He has done nothing wrong. He should not be expelled from the house. I am unwilling to accept my son.
disagree."
Cao Cao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, with a look of sadness on his face.
Immediately, he shouted: "Someone, pull Cao Pi out."
Everyone wanted to plead for Cao Pi, but Cao Cao scared them back and did not dare to speak.
Two soldiers came in and took Cao Pi out of the tent. Cao Cao waved his hand and asked all the civil servants and generals in the tent to leave the tent and sit alone in the tent in a daze.
After Cao Pi was taken out of the camp by the soldiers, he cried and made a fuss and was extremely angry.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Cao family, but was expelled from the Cao family. He was unwilling to accept it. Cao Pi thought about it and decided to go to Cao Cao to argue. If he didn't make it clear now, he would have no chance in the future. When Cao Pi just walked outside the camp
, but saw Manchong standing not far away, waving to him, as if she had something to say to him.
Cao Pi walked towards Man Chong, bowed and asked, "Mr. Boning, what can I do?"
Man Chong said: "Second Young Master, Your Majesty will not change his mind."
Cao Pi's eyes turned red and he said: "Mr. Boning, it's not a question of whether or not we will meet. If we don't make it clear in front of my father now, we will have no chance in the future. We must go."
Man Chong sighed and said: "Second Young Master, you don't understand His Majesty's thoughts! His Majesty expelled you from the Cao family, severed ties with you, made you hate him and blame him, but made you stand on the opposite side. This is
To protect you is to truly recognize your son. Your Majesty does this for your own good..."
Cao Pi looked puzzled and asked: "Mr. Boning, why is this?"
Man Chong explained: "Your Majesty can definitely think of using external force, but he is unwilling to do so. Now that you have done it, Your Majesty will not change it, and he will admit it when facing Wang Can. Perhaps, Your Majesty,
Foreseeing the crisis in Wei State, I found a way for the Second Young Master, so that after the Second Young Master leaves, he does not need to be buried with the Cao family."
Cao Pi was stunned, not expecting such an explanation.
He thought for a moment, then glanced at Cao Cao's central army tent, but ultimately did not enter.
…
Shu army camp, Chinese army tent.
Wang Can looked solemn, as did the civil servants and generals below. The news of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan going south immediately caused the Shu army to be unable to continue the attack. If Wang Can insisted on attacking Cao Cao, he might be able to destroy Cao Cao, but Wang Can was definitely not
The result I want to see is that it will cause the people in the north to fall into misery.
Wang Can looked at everyone and asked: "The Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan led their armies southward. What do you think?"
Wei Yan cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should concentrate all our efforts to defeat Cao Cao. After the Cao family is destroyed, we can then send our army north to kill the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes."
Zhang Xiu retorted: "Your Majesty, the general believes that we should temporarily stop attacking the Wei army and wipe out the aliens first. The people in the north have a difficult life. They have been facing threats from aliens all year round. Now they are being attacked on a large scale and they have to save them."
Pang De said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the general also believes that we should go north. Although it will delay the time to defeat Cao Cao, your Majesty defeated the Huns, Xianbei and Wuhuan people and protected the safety of the people on one side, and will definitely win the support of the people.
On the other hand, Cao Cao used the power of the foreign tribes in the north to harm the people. His reputation plummeted and he must be despised by countless people. In this way, Your Majesty won the hearts and minds of the people and also undermined the morale of the Wei army. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"
