After achieving their temporary goal, Cao Pi and the other three stood up to say goodbye and went to their residence.
I wanted to take a look at Wang Lie's condition, but was told that he was being treated and could not be disturbed, so I had no choice but to give up.
There was no conversation all the way. When the three of them returned to the hotel, it was already late at night.
Cao Pi, who originally planned to find two maids to sleep with him, lost interest because of repeated twists and turns.
The three brothers once again returned to the house where the accident occurred.
Looking at the few remaining wine jars and the cups used by Wang Lie, I felt quite emotional.
Unexpectedly, everything started to change from this glass of wine.
However, the situation in Liaodong and the ultimate peak of power also started from this moment.
As long as Wang Lie gets better, Cao Pi can speak out without restraint.
In order to save Wang Lie, even the most important Youzhou Mu was handed over, and he didn't get the chance to publicly call himself the King of Wei.
How could you refuse him such a great favor?
"Second brother, third brother, this time Beiyan deliberately sought trouble, but he inadvertently did Gu a big favor!"
"Not only did it confirm for us the fact that the emperor and his ministers were at odds within Liaodong, and they were fighting openly and secretly, it also gave Gu an excellent opportunity to win over Wang Lie!"
"It can be said that there is no end to the road! God still favors our Cao family!"
"As long as we get Wang Lie, it will open the road to the revival of the Wei Dynasty!"
"Brother is wise, congratulations!"
Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi both praised and congratulated them, but they still felt a little regretful.
"It's a pity that I can't let my eldest brother ascend the throne of Wei King here. This Gongsun Kang has an impure mind!"
Cao Pi nodded slightly.
"Actually, I have already guessed this."
"Being the king of Liaodong means that he will be defeated in name only. How can Gongsun Kang, who has dominated Liaodong for many years, accept it?"
Cao Zhang's eyes hardened and he became even more angry.
"Humph, this guy is really hateful!"
"I could have taken it down in one fell swoop just now, but I was worried that it would ruin something big, so I endured it."
"Second brother, it's a good thing you didn't do anything!"
Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Since Gongsun Kang dares to wait alone in the house with me, he must have something to rely on."
"If we act rashly, we will be the ones killed in the end!"
"Any action taken in the future must be approved by Gu."
Cao Zhang did not refute and immediately accepted.
"I obey! Don't worry, brother."
Seeing the most prickly second brother being so respectful, Cao Pi felt even better.
"Well! Second brother, third brother, don't worry, the seizure of power is on the right track, just follow the steps."
"However, the most important issue at the moment is the Han army. If we don't defeat the Han army, everything is just empty talk."
Cao Zhi looked at Cao Pi with some confusion.
"Brother, isn't it the father's will that after our brothers seize Liaodong, we leave for Goguryeo?"
"Why do you have to fight to the death with Liu Zhang?"
"madness!"
Cao Pi subconsciously yelled angrily, but thinking that Cao Zhi had just returned home, he quickly comforted him.
"Third brother, one must not be without great ambitions! Father asked us to leave Goguryeo in order to stay in a corner and survive!"
"As the king of the Wei Dynasty alone, how can I inherit the legacy of the previous king? Even if I die, I will fight Liu Zhang to the end!"
Cao Zhi was slightly absent-minded, and after a moment he showed admiration.
"The eldest brother is so heroic and domineering that the younger brother admires him greatly!"
"Today we know the wisdom of the late king in choosing his eldest brother as his successor!"
Cao Pi felt secretly happy and raised his chin slightly proudly.
The once venomous opponents became convinced followers.
Is there anything more comfortable than this?
"Haha, third brother is too praised, Gu... Everything is for Wei!"
"Brother Gaoyi! It's just..."
These two words made Cao Pi frown.
What he hates the most is these two words, which are always full of doubts.
"Third brother, just what?"
"Brother, it's just that the Han army is too strong, and even the entire Liaodong force may not be able to compete with it."
"We have no way out. If we lose again, what should we do?"
Cao Pi pursed his lips, showing no displeasure.
What Cao Zhi said are all facts and there is nothing to refute.
No matter how good the current situation is, the fact that the Han army is powerful cannot be ignored.
"Third brother, you are right. The Han army is far more powerful than we imagined, and we cannot ignore it."
"But along the way, we have all seen that the terrain of Liaodong is completely different from that of the Central Plains and Hebei."
"Second brother, you often lead troops in battles, so you should have different feelings, right?"
Cao Zhang looked approving.
"Yes, Liaodong is a very suitable place for defense."
"As long as we occupy a favorable terrain, we can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Many places occupy dangerous positions, and one can even be worth ten, or one is worth a hundred!"
"only..."
Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhang in surprise and was very unhappy.
The previous words spoke volumes to his thoughts, but this one just caught him off guard.
"Second brother, just what?"
"call..."
Cao Zhang also saw Cao Pi's displeasure, but he had no choice. It was not his character not to speak out.
"Brother, there is something you cannot ignore."
"What's up?"
"Liu Zhang started his career in Yizhou! Who is more familiar with the mountains and terrain than Liu Zhang?"
"My little brother feels that no matter how steep the mountains in Liaodong are, they may not be as steep as Yizhou. We can't rely entirely on them."
These words awakened Cao Pi like an enlightenment.
If it weren't for Cao Zhang, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Liu Zhang is well-known mainly for his proclaimed government and the founding of the country.
Even the pacification of Yongliang was nothing.
At that time, Cao Cao captured Hebei and dominated the most fertile, vast and populous place in the world, and was the most shining presence.
In contrast, Liu Zhang also had to avoid his edge for the time being.
After leaving Jingzhou in the east, he began to seize the position of hegemony in the world.
It was precisely because of the battles in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Central Plains and other places that Cao Pi forgot that Liu Zhang was in Yizhou.
