These words were like a huge stone falling into the water, causing thousands of waves in the house!
Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were all stunned.
Smart people can predict the future, but they can never see through the past.
Wang Lie's experience is something that cannot be seen through no matter what.
Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Wang Lie.
The intertwining of the three seems more complicated than imagined.
At the same time, it also made Cao Pi's eyes sparkle even more, and joy spread in his heart.
The worse the relationship between Wang Lie and Gongsun Kang, the better, and it is best not to fight to the death!
"General Wang, I'm new here and don't know much about things in Liaodong."
"If General Wang doesn't give up, I am willing to be a listener, and I can relieve General Wang's... dissatisfaction!"
While speaking, Cao Pi winked at Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi understood immediately and stepped forward with two cups and placed them in front of Cao Pi and Wang Lie.
Afterwards, they filled up their glasses with drinks.
Cao Pi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"General Wang, this is a gift from Grand Administrator Gongsun. It should be extraordinary. If General Wang doesn't mind the bad wine, please drink this cup to the full!"
Wang Lie was so moved that his facial features twisted together.
He stared at the wine glass for a long time before picking it up and drinking it in one gulp.
"ha..."
A refreshing voice came, and Wang Lie showed a satisfied look again.
"Good...good wine, really good wine!"
“It’s such a joy in life to be able to drink such fine wine!”
"My Excellency, thank you Mr. Cao for your generous gift!"
Seeing Wang Lie being moved and saluting, Cao Pi was really confused.
He had just drank this drink.
I can’t say it’s bad, but it’s average at best.
Not to mention compared with Liu Zhang's Liangguotou, even compared with Yecheng's fine wine, it is far inferior.
If he hadn't been dining and sleeping in the open for a long time, there would be no drink at all, and Cao Pi wouldn't even be interested in drinking a few more drinks.
Growing up in fine clothes and fine food, he squandered freely on fine wine and delicacies. How could he care about this kind of wine?
At this point, Wang Lie's reaction is even more incomprehensible.
After all, he is also a general in the army, why is he like this?
"General Wang, is this drink... very good?"
Wang Lie nodded repeatedly, his eyes glued to the wine glass, refusing to leave.
"To be honest, since my old master passed away, I was only lucky enough to drink it when I defeated the capital of Goguryeo."
"ah?"
Cao Pi couldn't bear it anymore and deliberately let out a exclamation.
"General Wang, this drink is ordinary at best, why is it like this?"
"If Yecheng was still here, how could I have allowed General Wang to drink until he never wanted to see this drink again!"
Wang Lie didn't care about Cao Pi's boastful nonsense, but became even more sad.
"Mr. Cao doesn't know something. Wine is an extremely luxurious thing in Liaodong. This high-quality wine is extremely rare."
"Since Grand Administrator Gongsun inherited Liaodong, he has continued to expand his army and fight wars, leading to a shortage of food."
"Fine wine like this is really a treasure! It's all thanks to Mr. Cao that I can drink it today."
"Treasure?"
Cao Pi was really speechless. Wang Lie's words became more and more exaggerated, almost to the point of being unacceptable.
It is normal that recruiting troops will increase food consumption, and Liaodong is a bitterly cold place with little food output.
Gongsun Kang restricted alcohol in order to save food, so there was no problem.
But Wang Lie is not an ordinary person, he is a brave and invincible general and an indispensable figure in the army.
How could such a person be short of wine?
Aren’t the rules all designated for ordinary people?
No matter how poor he is, he will never wrong a general like Wang Lie.
“I guess it’s Grand Administrator Gongsun who cares about the people!”
Cao Pi did not express his opinion, but excused Gongsun Kang.
Then he personally filled a glass of wine for Wang Lie.
"General Wang, you can drink as much as you want today!"
"please!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"
Wang Lie was not polite and drank down the drink again.
The satisfaction in his expression was extremely rich and wonderful, and it didn't look like he was pretending at all.
Is it so easy to express satisfaction?
"Hi..."
There was another pleasant intoxication. After Wang Lie thought about it for a long time, he reluctantly put down the wine glass.
"Master Cao is so proud and righteous, I really shouldn't hide anything anymore."
"There is actually no shortage of wine in the army, it's just... I'm the one who's short of wine."
"In other words, in Liaodong, my treatment is much lower than that of any general."
"What!"
Cao Pi's eyes widened, Cao Zhi exclaimed, and all three of them showed their shock at the news.
A general who turned the tide of the war and could be said to have made a heavenly contribution actually said this!
How appalling!
How stupid was Gongsun Kang to ignore a general like this?
"General Wang, what is going on?"
Cao Zhi couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and asked hurriedly.
"Third brother!"
Cao Pi glared angrily, stopped Cao Zhi, and then quickly apologized to Wang Lie.
"General Wang, please forgive me, third brother is ignorant!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Wang Lie didn't pay attention at all and lowered his head even more disappointed.
Cao Pi hesitated for a while and tried to ask,
"If General Wang doesn't mind, you might as well talk about it."
This time, Wang Lie nodded happily.
"I don't mind, of course I don't mind!"
"Master Cao wants to hear it, so I will tell you everything I know!"
"Actually, it's very simple. Just a little bit, Master Cao will understand."
"I... am the confidant of Prefect Gongsun Du."
Cao Pi was stunned and didn't react at first.
But after a moment, he suddenly realized.
Understood!
Looking at Wang Lie and Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Dushang could not see the problem intuitively.
But if you change your focus, for example. . .
Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Xu Chu!
