After briefly telling Cao Pi the entire defeat, Wang Lie chose to leave on the grounds of military emergency.
He didn't say too much, and Cao Pi didn't ask too many questions.
From his face, he could see how anxious Wang Lie was.
Being able to take the time to reveal the news to him at this time can be said to be a profound friendship!
The 20,000-strong army was destroyed, a large area of territory was lost, and most of the dangerous places fell into the hands of the Han army.
How urgent is it when these messages are put together?
Cao Pi could imagine and understand Gongsun Kang's mood at this moment.
It seemed like a bolt from the blue.
There are quite a few people sitting in the house who feel like disaster is coming from the sky.
After Wang Lie left, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and laughed loudly.
Originally, Cao Pi wanted to scold the two of them, but adding insult to injury was just a villain's behavior.
But thinking of Bei Yan's arrogance before, he couldn't blurt it out no matter what.
Not long after, he also joined in the wild hustle and bustle.
For a full quarter of an hour, the three brothers laughed until they were on their backs, and then they gradually stopped.
"Second brother, third brother, enough is enough!"
Cao Pi was the first to recover.
After all, this is Xiangpingguanyi, Gongsun Kang’s territory.
It’s hard to explain why the Liaodong Army was so excited after its defeat.
"Hahaha! Big brother, let the little brother laugh for a while!"
"That Beiyan was so rampant and ended up like this! It's really God's foresight!"
Cao Zhi has a bohemian character and doesn't hold back on his words.
This is the time to vent, how could he be polite?
"This defeat has completely humiliated him. Let's see how he can still have the dignity to meet his eldest brother!"
"However, I still admire my second brother for having anticipated today!"
"Second brother is worthy of being a general on the battlefield, with extraordinary knowledge!"
This compliment made Cao Zhang feel a little proud.
Although the development of things was actually different from what he expected, the result was no different.
Adhering to the principle that the result is always greater than the process, it is completely okay to be proud.
"My second brother deserves a lot of credit this time!"
Cao Pi also affirmed and praised him in a timely manner.
If it were before, he would definitely be dissatisfied and even jealous.
Today, not at all.
The two brothers have returned home long ago, what is there to be dissatisfied about?
"Thank you, big brother, third brother!"
Cao Zhang slightly cupped his hands, showing some humility.
"I am also lucky this time. Otherwise, the result would be hard to say."
"Fortunately, fate favors our Cao family!"
"Um!"
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi nodded in approval at the same time.
This ordeal is no worse than before.
To survive smoothly, you must not ignore the factors brought by luck.
After a while, all three people recovered, and Cao Pi was the first to straighten his expression.
"Although the defeat of the Liaodong Army will not do us any good. But beating Bei Yan hard is enough to make him dare not scream in front of Gu. From this point of view, it is still worth it."
"It's just that troubles from the Han army are coming one after another, so we must be careful!"
Cao Zhang's expression darkened for the second time and he became very serious.
"What the elder brother said is absolutely true!"
"I didn't expect that Liu Zhang would be so cautious and send Zhao Yun here..."
"Also, that four-stone bow... tsk tsk..."
Having just heard Wang Lie talk about the whole process, Cao Zhang actually felt mixed emotions.
It was a pity that Bei Yan was defeated, but the appearance of Zhao Yun put Cao Zhang under great pressure!
Especially when I heard the power of the four-stone bow, I was so frightened that I couldn't sit still.
Four-stone bow, how many people in the world can shoot a four-stone bow?
How many people are there in the past and present?
Cao Zhang clearly remembered that during the competition in Chang'an, Zhao Yun's arm strength was only a three-stone bow. Unexpectedly, after his old age and strength weakened, he could shoot a four-stone bow.
This is not the most terrifying thing, that one person shot five generals in a row, which proved his strength as the number one in the sky list.
Cao Zhang is indeed conceited, but he thinks he is still inferior to Zhao Yun.
This Zhao Yun is the same Zhao Yun who competed in Chang'an a few years ago.
I always thought that after so many years, the strength of the generals would decline.
Now, he needs to revisit the idea.
"It is a fact recognized by the world that Zhao Yun is strong. However, my second brother's bravery cannot be easily compared!"
Cao Pi patted Cao Zhang on the shoulder with a look of trust on his face.
"I wonder if my second brother can compete with Zhao Yun at this time?"
Cao Zhang's eyes twitched and he didn't know how to answer.
Frankly speaking, it certainly doesn't work.
But this answer was sorry for Cao Pi, who was full of expectations for him.
In desperation, he could only nod his head without conscience.
Fortunately, Cao Pi only talked about competing, not defeating Zhao Yun.
"Don't worry, brother, I will do my best to prevent Zhao Yun from doing whatever he wants!"
"good!"
Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction.
"As expected of my second brother, Gu is absolutely at ease with you!"
For Cao Pi, it is not as simple as competing with Zhao Yun, but more importantly, having the power to compete with Zhao Yun.
In the entire Liaodong, who can symbolize Zhao Yun?
If Zhao Yun comes to kill him in the future, who will dare to go out of the city to fight?
In this case, Cao Zhang is particularly precious.
Whoever Cao Zhang listens to will control the famous families in Liaodong!
"Brother, Beiyan is defeated, what should we do now?"
"Is it time to leave the mountain?"
I almost got sick from holding it in for so long.
Cao Zhi really couldn't wait to go to the street and relax.
It would be best to meet Bei Yan on the street and see what face he has to face them.
However, Cao Pi refused this request.
"There's no rush yet."
"This is a time of turmoil, and it is also the time when Gongsun Kang is most at a loss. We cannot give him a chance to meet us."
Cao Pi's eyes flickered, and he had already made a plan in his mind.
"When he is desperate, he will definitely beg us."
"As long as he asks for help, he can take advantage of the situation and put forward conditions. This is what is most beneficial to us!"
Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi suddenly realized it and quickly worshiped him.
"Brother is wise!"
