In Cao Pi's mansion, there is a touching book "Fourteen Filial Piety" on several desks.
Cao Zhi took fifty pills, and while walking away, he said: "What a fourteenth filial piety, but he still has such a trick. A mere little book not only defused our offensive, but also made that arrogant Deng Ai famous! It's really One move is missing in chess, one move is missing in chess!”
Cao Pi didn't like him walking around when they left, and frowned: "I didn't expect that we could solve the problem with such strength. Is there a master behind this uncle?"
Cao Zhi walked around for a while, then sat down again, picked up the pamphlet, patted a few cases and said: "Look, look, it's not just that little Deng Ai who is famous! He himself, he himself put it on Heng and Mao Er He is in front of a great Confucian! How can he be ranked in front of a great Confucian? A few seven-character poems were not made on the spot, and a short song was given by his father. I don’t know if it was given by his father. How can he be ranked in front of a great Confucian? Everyone will talk about it from now on. When it comes to filial piety, we must remember him, Cao Potian! But we will not remember you, Cao Zihuan!"
Cao Pi's frown deepened.
Cao Pi remembered the key question and asked, "What about Mr. Liu? It was agreed before that if the Yushitai raised his opinion, he would approve the release of Cao Wu's documents. What's going on now?"
"Mr. Liu?"
Cao Zhi became even more angry. He said: "Xian Liu has met the Fourteenth Filial Piety, and he has already knelt down to fulfill his filial piety to Cao Wu. If I ask him to approve the document again, I'm afraid it will be even harder than climbing to heaven! I will say that Jingzhou's surrender cannot be trusted." ! Fortunately, I also sent poems to Kuai Yue, and followed Kuai Yue's path, thinking that the head of Jingzhou's wealthy family could subdue Liu Xian."
Cao Pi sighed: "Then we can only wait for Chang Wen to take action. Now the censor has no power. Chang Wen should be able to convince the censor and directly convict Cao Wu. As long as Cao Wu is released, he can also let him go." Ma Chao kills people.”
Cao Zhi nodded and sighed.
How could such a good sure-kill game end up like this?
Cao Wu disintegrated their good layout with just a pamphlet. The first step of the chain plan failed because of the withdrawal of Liu Xian, the minister of Zuomin in Shangshutai.
So Cao Wu, was he really lucky, or was he a great strategist?
The two were silent when Ding Yi sneaked in and followed Cao Zhi, wanting to whisper to him.
But Cao Zhi had taken the powder and was walking around in a hot and hot state. He was not interested in listening to him.
He waved his hand and said, "Just say it here!"
Ding Yi said: "Two young masters, my people are monitoring Beifu. Today we saw that Chen Changwen, the censor of the Censor, went to Beifu with many things!"
"What?"
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were both shocked.
Especially Cao Pi, Chen Qun was on good terms with him and he had long regarded him as a counselor. He and Yang Xiu had worked out the previous plan together, but the matter was still undecided. What was Chen Qun doing in Beifu? And bring something with you!
…
"There's a conflict, there's a conflict!"
A young boy hurriedly ran into the Sima family's annex in Xudu. He originally called out, but when he saw several masters in the courtyard, his voice gradually became softer and he said with a smile on his face: "Young masters, Mr. Chen of Yingchuan and Beifu are indeed the same." There’s a conflict!”
Sima Lang, Sima Yi, and Sima Fu, the three brothers wore white ribbons on their heads. The atmosphere was depressing. After hearing his report, they all became excited immediately.
Sima Fu was the youngest and the most impatient, so he said loudly: "Tell me and listen!"
Sima Lang glanced at him and said angrily: "Why are you so unable to nourish your energy!"
Sima Fu shrank his neck, thinking that he must nourish his energy and live well in the future to avoid being criticized by his elder brother.
Sima Yi didn't say a word from the beginning, just clenched his hands into fists.
The boy said: "I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Chen went to Beifu to ask for his hand in marriage. As expected, as Master Zhongda said, he was turned away and couldn't even get in. At first, a woman came out, which seemed to be from Beifu. The person in charge said a few words, but without any result, a long arrow shot out from Beifu."
The boy gestured the length of the arrow, and the three of them looked at each other with fear in their hearts.
It's so long, it can't be a bow and arrow, it should be a powerful crossbow.
According to the law of the Han Dynasty, crossbows cannot be hidden privately. It is not surprising that there are crossbows hidden in Beifu.
In fact, they also have Sima in Hanoi.
But given them some courage, they wouldn't be able to shoot the descendants of the Yingchuan Chen family.
The Chen family is not Sima who is far away in Hanoi. As a prominent local family in Xudu, if Chen Qun dies, I am afraid that the Chen family will directly attack Beifu and demolish Beifu.
However, Cao Wu did it so openly.
At this time, Sima Lang couldn't calm down anymore.
He asked eagerly: "How does Chen Qun behave?"
"The younger one was hiding far away and couldn't hear what they were saying, but it could be seen that Mr. Chen was certainly angry. General Cao of Beifu came out and said a few words. Mr. Chen seemed quite annoyed and argued a few words, but he didn't Didn’t take action yet.”
"Sure enough, it was Cao Wu who shot the arrow himself."
Sima Yi pursed his lips.
The death of his younger brother Sima Jin moved the entire Sima family. Sima Bada became Qida, and all Sima family members felt sad and angry.
The key point is that this is really an unforeseen disaster. Beifu Cao Wu first provoked them, and they fought back.
"Beifu is really powerful."
Sima Lang sighed.
"Then let's forget it?"
Sima Fu jumped up.
Sima Lang said: "Calm down, the future will be long. What Cao has nothing to rely on is Cao... Prime Minister Cao's power, but the Prime Minister is over fifty years old and often suffers from head problems. How long does it take? Our Sima family is full of talents. Sooner or later, One day we can put things right out of chaos and restore order to the great man!"
Sima Fu said: "But the Yingchuan Chen family dares to come forward, why can't we Hanoi Sima do the same?"
Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Cao is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. When he dies, I will follow Cao Pi again. If I have the ability to follow the dragon, I will have a way to break today's situation."
Sima Lang also nodded and said: "It is true that we cannot move. Hanoi is our foundation. If we attack rashly, we may destroy the foundation. We must not imitate the recklessness of Yang and Yuan. You must know that the one who laughs in the end is the real winner."
Sima Fu said in surprise: "But the death of my younger brother is just forgotten?"
"Of course not!"
Sima Lang and Sima Yi spoke out at the same time.
Sima Yi said: "I defended Hefei, and I have done some meritorious service. I don't believe that General Beifu dares to kill me! Just bear with it, bear with it..."
Sima Fu sat down on the ground slumped.
I remember how ambitious the eight brothers were when they entered Xudu from Hanoi. But now, their ambition was blocked by Cao Wu.
That Cao Wu was arrogant and domineering, bullied others with his power, and even killed Sima Jin. He had a big grudge against them, but the two brothers actually tolerated it?
Sima Fu couldn't bear it, but he didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then we use the hiding of the crossbow machine as an impeachment, is it feasible?"
Sima Lang rolled his eyelids: "If you don't bite me when you have too many lice, he exposed the crossbow just to be impeached. It should be noted that the five-toothed ship was built by people from Beifu. When the time comes, he will come up with the title of improved crossbow. If we block it, who can do anything? We originally wanted to take advantage of the Prime Minister's absence to launch an attack, but now look at it, the Prime Minister is not here, but it is still more difficult."
Sima Fu asked again: "What should we do about Chen Qun? Can Chen Qun realize that this matter was planned by you, brother?"
Sima Yi pondered and said: "Shuda, I have said it many times, the so-called strategy is to push the boat along with the current. It must not be done by letting the mother sell her son. Instead, we must make the best use of the situation to achieve great things."
Seeing that Sima Fu was listening attentively, Sima Yi said again: "It's human nature for a young man to admire Ai. Then Chen Changwen really fell in love with Ah Wu, so I was able to push him along, mess up his mind, and make him use the impeachment of hundreds of officials as an excuse. As a bargaining chip, I went to Beifu to propose marriage. If it was too late, the impeachment of hundreds of officials would have caused a grudge between him and Beifu, making it difficult to propose marriage. Even if he found out afterwards, I could take it out and say that I was only thinking about him. , I believe Changwen will understand my painstaking efforts.”
Sima Fu nodded. His second brother Sima Yi really had a far-reaching plan. As long as he performed better, he would be able to deceive Chen Qun. Chen Qun had no evidence and could not do anything to Sima Yi.
He thought for a moment and then said, "What if they discovered this on the spot?"
Sima Lang muttered: "How is it possible? Didn't you hear that Cao Wu almost shot Chen Changwen with his arrow? Chen Changwen is such a proud man, how could he believe that Cao Wu who can't even write big characters!"
Sima Yi frowned.
If the two of them had discovered this on the spot, then the matter would have been a different matter.
Chen Qun would know that he had already planned to let him run into trouble, and that he had deliberately caused a conflict between him and Beifu.
Then he would lose an ally, and Beifu would gain a boost.
He immediately shook his head. The elder brother was right. How could it be possible? Cao Wu really shot the arrow.
…
"Kyushu Cao Family"
As soon as the four words came out, Chen Qun was stunned.
The Cao family cannot be considered a small clan. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, bought an official position and served as a Taiwei, ranking among the three nobles.
Although Cao Song's adoptive father, Cao Teng, was a eunuch, he was a good official. He served for decades, worked conscientiously, and did a lot of things.
The Cao family can barely be considered a small aristocratic family, but in any case, it can only be regarded as the Cao family of Pei State on the same level as the Ding family of Pei State.
Where did the Jiuzhou Cao family come from?
What is Kyushu? Dayu divided Kyushu into nine regions, and Kyushu is the world.
What Cao Wu meant was that his Cao family was actually the Cao family in the world?
Chen Qun ignored the blood on his forehead and pointed at Cao Wudao: "You, you..."
Cao Wu said coldly: "The Cao family fought back every inch of this world. If it weren't for the Cao family, there wouldn't be many people in the world who would be emperors and kings. You, the Chen family from Yingchuan, are worthy of making noise here!" "
"I...I just want to marry the maid of Beifu, not compete with the Cao family!"
"What's the maid's name in Beifu?"
"this……"
As Chen Qun said just now, Ah Wu is also a member of the Cao family. After marrying, Cao and Chen can get closer to each other.
At that time, he would never have imagined that a maidservant would be treated like this by Cao Wu, who would not hesitate to use Cao's name to suppress him.
Cao Wudao: "I still say what I said, young Mu Ai, it's up to you, but use your power to overwhelm others, don't overwhelm me, Beifu. Let's forget about today's matter and go back!"
Chen Qun's eyes widened, and his sonorous demeanor had long been forgotten. He said angrily: "General Beifu, don't bully others like this. I came to ask for my hand in a friendly manner. Why do you have to make such a fuss!"
His followers also had angry faces and shouted.
"My young master sincerely proposes marriage, why is Beifu so insulting!"
"Why?"
Cao Wuyi raised his eyebrows and walked to Chen Qun in a few steps.
Chen Qun glared at him and refused to take a step back.
Cao Wu whispered to Chen Qun.
Chen Qun's eyes widened even more.
What Chen Qun said was: "Don't panic because of the long article. I just acted it out for others to see. My people have long discovered that there is someone watching next to Beifu. A few hundred steps to the left, there is someone. He is a member of the Sima family in Hanoi."
…
In the distance, a white figure flashed past.
It was Cao Asan who returned to Beifu.
She had already met several dead men of the Sima family, and she could tell at a glance that one of the people eavesdropping outside just now was a member of the Sima family.
She is the only maid in Beifu who studies martial arts, and she will never make a wrong judgment about martial arts.
This is also the conclusion that Cao Wu was waiting for just now.
