Cao Zhi couldn't wait any longer, so he called out and took the initiative to move forward.
"Brother Chong, let's go"
Ignoring Cao Pi, Cao Zhi entered the city.
This made Cao Pi extremely embarrassed and his face became extremely gloomy.
At this moment, Cao Chong walked to Cao Pi.
"Brother, let's go into the city."
What a warm call, but in Cao Pi's heart it was naked irony.
"snort!"
With an angry snort, Cao Pi rolled his sleeves and left.
Cao Chong was left with a helpless face, unable to let go for a long time.
He obviously valued this eldest brother the most, but the eldest brother just didn't treat him as one of his own.
This made Cao Chong feel very tired.
After Cao Cao died, these four of the Cao family's descendants were the only ones left.
If four people cannot unite, what else can they expect?
In Cao Chong's heart, the hope of reviving Cao Wei became increasingly slim.
As a city connecting two counties, Wu End City is not particularly large, nor is it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's just a very ordinary city.
The population is sparse, soldiers are few, and food is scarce.
When they occupied the entire city and captured the county magistrate, they discovered that there were only two hundred defenders in the city.
The one hundred armored soldiers were brought by Tian Yan himself.
There was no military rations in the city, and the people were pitifully few, with only a few thousand people.
How can this be called a city? It is not even as good as a prosperous village in the Central Plains!
Cao Pi had no choice but to enter the county government to rest for the time being and ordered the army to rest in the city.
It's said to be an order, but actually it's a negotiation.
After all, the army now listens to Cao Zhang, not Cao Pi.
This also made Cao Pi deeply resentful.
What's this?
Who is the lord?
Who is the leader?
Who is the King of Wei?
The soldiers and horses didn't listen to him, and the brothers didn't listen to him either.
What does it mean that the King of Wei is acting inappropriately?
The more Cao Pi thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. In a rage, he called for his three younger brothers.
He wants a showdown with them!
From today on, if we can work together, we can do it. If we can't, we should break up as soon as possible!
It's really boring to be idle all day long.
But before Cao Zhang and the others gathered together, Cao Pi regretted it.
His anger only lasted for the moment when he asked the three people to be summoned.
Before the three of them arrived, the anger had almost dissipated.
When the three of them arrived again, they were completely speechless.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and the King of Wei will always be the King of Wei.
Even if he has no rights, he is still the King of Wei!
Cao Pi had to change his strategy.
But Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were unwilling to pay attention to Cao Pi. They had cold faces and wanted to give Cao Pi a look.
This embarrassed Cao Pi.
Anger cannot be vented, lest the relationship become even more rigid.
It’s even more impossible to give in on your own initiative!
This time Cao Pi gave in. Will he still have status in the future?
Fortunately, there is a lubricant between the three of them.
Cao Chong always thinks of his brothers.
"Brother, what do you want from us?"
Cao Pi pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"Just now at the gate of the city, Brother Wei was a little impulsive and did some stupid things."
"I have learned a lot from my brother's experience, and I know that what I did was not right, so I brought you here to prepare..."
"what to prepare?"
Cao Zhi interrupted with a sneer.
"Are you ready to give up the throne of King Wei?"
"you!"
Cao Pi's anger rose instantly. The position of King of Wei was his bottom line and his rebellion!
Absolutely no one is allowed to touch it, no one!
For this reason, he doesn't mind working hard!
"Cao Zhi, don't go too far!"
"My father has just passed away, are you going to disobey my father's orders? Don't forget, I am your father..."
"Okay, okay."
Cao Zhi didn't want to hear Cao Pi's nonsense, so he stretched out his hand to interrupt.
"Don't make trouble against your father, he is already dead!"
"Also, I don't like the position of King Wei, so you don't have to be so nervous!"
I have to say that these words made Cao Pi's anger disperse instantly.
At the same time, it also became awkward.
"Uh, haha... Being a brother, being a brother is not what I mean."
"Now that my father is in mourning, Cao Wei is in danger of being overrun! If you and I don't work together, how can we accomplish great things?"
"If we go down there in the future, how will our brothers face our father?"
Cao Zhi didn't say anything more, as he accepted Cao Pi's words.
"Brother, needless to say these things, our brothers will definitely follow your lead!"
Cao Chong stood up and immediately expressed his stance on behalf of Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi.
Cao Pi liked hearing this and nodded repeatedly.
This Cao Chong finally played some role.
The current dissatisfaction with him outside the city has also reduced a lot.
"Brother Chong, just now I refused to kill Tian Yan because of my brother, but you said that he must be killed. Why?"
Cao Pi asked questions deliberately to give Cao Chong a chance to speak.
In fact, he has malicious intentions!
He wanted Cao Chong to explain and then refute, so that Cao Chong could understand his stupidity and the wisdom of his elder brother!
Through this matter, show your talents in front of your brothers.
It also lays the groundwork for a key step to be proposed later.
Who would have thought that Cao Chong actually shook his head helplessly.
He looked very speechless.
Cao Pi was a little unhappy.
"Brother Chong, what's your expression?"
"Brother, why are you so confused!"
"I'm confused? How dare you say I'm confused!"
Seeing that Cao Pi was in a hurry again, Cao Chong quickly explained.
"Brother, think about it, Tian Yu has surrendered! Even the governor of Youzhou has surrendered. Do we still have a foothold in Youzhou?"
“Let’s not talk about being able to integrate You Beiping’s resources. Even if it is possible, will it be useful?”
"Tian Yu can arrange Tian Yan to be the prefect of You Beiping, but can't he arrange others to be the magistrates of the counties in You Beiping?"
"To put it more simply, how many resources does the entire Youbeiping have? Even if they are all handed over to Big Brother, can they resist the Han army?"
After a pause, Cao Chong was helpless.
"Brother, from the moment Tian Yu surrendered, I couldn't stay here any longer."
"We are resting here, and we must leave immediately!"
Cao Pi was a little confused, he had never thought about these things.
He is even dreaming of flexing his muscles in Youbeiping, defeating the Han army first, and then capturing Liu Zhang!
Cao Chong's words shattered all his illusions.
"Brother Chong, let's go? Where can we go?"
Cao Chong pointed to the east.
"Liaodong!"
