Cao Chong didn't expect the darkness in Cao Pi's heart, and he was still working hard to coordinate between the two.
He held Cao Zhang with one hand and Cao Pi with the other.
"Eldest brother, you are as skilled in controlling people as Liu Bang, the king of Han, and second brother is like the general Han Xin in commanding the battlefield."
"As long as we can work together, I firmly believe that reviving the Wei Dynasty is not an empty talk!"
"Can you each step back for the sake of Wei and your father who died in the battle?"
Cao Pi said nothing, still immersed in Cao Chong's threat to him.
Cao Zhang didn't have so many ideas and responded to Cao Chong immediately.
"Brother Chong, for the sake of my father and the great Wei Dynasty, I have no shirking responsibility. But how do you ask the second brother to retreat?"
Although his tone softened a lot, Cao Zhang's eyes did not give in at all.
If taking a step back meant giving up military power, Cao Zhang would never accept it.
This is also his bottom line!
"Second brother, didn't my younger brother just say that? You are Han Xin, a general who commands thousands of troops!"
"The troops and horses will be yours to rule, of course!"
Cao Zhang was a little surprised. If you said that, why did you need to take a step back?
This fully meets my requirements.
But if Cao Zhang is willing, it means that Cao Pi is not willing.
As expected, Cao Pi immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Brother Chong, are you too brave? Did I agree?"
Cao Pi's face was extremely gloomy and he almost fell to the ground.
"You keep saying you will support me, but do you take me as your big brother seriously?"
"Brother, please calm down, I didn't mean it this way."
Cao Chong explained quickly.
"Then what do you mean? You'd better give me an explanation."
Cao Pi has made up his mind. If Cao Chong doesn't give him a reason to approve, he will never give up!
"My eldest brother is about to become the King of Wei and is responsible for the important responsibilities of Wei State. How can he have the energy to manage the soldiers himself?"
"Just like my father, weren't Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others responsible for managing the troops?"
"As long as the second brother only obeys the orders of the elder brother and obeys the orders of the elder brother, wouldn't it be fine?"
"this..."
Cao Pi hesitated and did not refuse immediately.
If you think so, it is indeed acceptable.
Cao Zhang on the side also suddenly understood. He finally understood how to take a step back.
The soldiers are given to you, but you must be constrained.
Fortunately, this is not unacceptable to Cao Zhang.
He didn't ask for soldiers and horses to covet the position of King Wei, let alone to rebel.
As a general on the battlefield, how can he behave without troops under his command?
"Eldest brother, second brother, what do you think?"
Cao Zhang nodded first.
"This request is not unacceptable and is acceptable."
Cao Zhang has said so, how can Cao Pi refuse again?
He nodded in approval immediately.
"If Brother Zhang thinks so, then no matter how many soldiers and horses I have under my command in the future, Brother Zhang can command him!"
Just when everyone was about to be happy, Cao Pi suddenly changed his tune.
"only..."
"Just what?"
Cao Chong and the three people asked in unison, making Cao Pi feel very strange.
Obviously Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi are brothers, sharing the same father and mother, but it seems like Cao Chong and them are.
On the contrary, Cao Pi seemed like an outsider.
"It's just that Brother Zhang must ensure that he listens to his words."
"Brother Wei asks you to attack, but you must not retreat. On the contrary, brother Wei asks you to retreat, and you must not move forward."
"We must obey orders absolutely and obey orders and prohibitions completely!"
This request instantly made the originally harmonious atmosphere tense.
Cao Zhang's face was gloomy. He felt that Cao Pi had gone too far.
Nothing has happened yet, he is exercising his absolute right. If he agrees to this, he doesn’t know what will happen in the future!
Cao Pi also felt the change in the atmosphere and quickly added.
"Of course, I will never have my own way as a brother. I will still discuss this matter with my brothers."
"In short, before there is no result, you must listen to my brother's words."
It seems to be an explanation, but in fact it is no different from a fart.
Colorless and odorless.
Cao Zhang couldn't even feel any sincerity from Cao Pi.
Just as he was about to refuse, Cao Chong spoke first.
"Second brother, it was the same when my father was here."
"Just imagine, if my father's military orders cannot be strictly implemented, how can the great cause of Wei be achieved?"
"Whether it is right or wrong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and others must obey it."
"If we support my eldest brother as the King of Wei, then we are ministers. Although we are brothers, we must also take into account the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers."
"My younger brother thinks that this request from my elder brother is not too much..."
Cao Pi really wanted to applaud the case and exaggerated Cao Chong.
Every word spoke to Cao Pi's heart.
Cao Pi even had the urge to re-examine his relationship with Cao Chong.
Unfortunately, this impulse was quickly killed by Cao Pi.
After all, they are half-mothers, and their hearts are separated from each other!
Not even Cao Zhi, who has the same father as his mother, Cao Zhang, let alone Cao Chong?
Cao Pi always felt that Cao Chong would backstab him at some point.
This time, it is very likely to give him a fatal blow.
Based on this idea, the gratitude and joy towards Cao Chong were completely wiped out.
Moreover, compared to Cao Chong, Cao Pi was more concerned about the reaction of his younger brother Cao Zhang.
"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
"this..."
After thinking for a moment, Cao Zhang finally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, it's Brother Yichong."
"However, I hope that the elder brother will not disappoint the younger brother."
"Brother Zhang, don't worry!"
Cao Pi was overjoyed and forgot all his worries in an instant.
That coveted position is finally, finally within reach.
At the thought of being a loner, Cao Pi was so surprised that his breathing stopped.
He couldn't imagine how he would feel after blurting out that word.
"Brother, please take the throne!"
Cao Chong was young, but his voice was extremely loud.
A roar frightened Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi at the same time.
Yes, no one is ready for this moment except Cao Chong!
"Brother Chong, for my brother... what should I do?"
Cao Pi looked confused.
Cao Chong pointed to the main position.
"Please call me King of Wei and inherit the great cause of Wei!"
