In the hotel, the three brothers sat together, with anxious looks on their faces.
"Brother, it's been more than a month, why is there still no news?"
Cao Zhi was the first to speak, and he repeated this sentence countless times.
If asked once a day, it would be at least twenty times!
"How do you know?"
Cao Pi hesitated impatiently.
He also replied like this countless times.
This is the disadvantage of living in seclusion and being very closed to information.
They only knew that the Han army had begun an attack, but they had no way of knowing what happened.
"Second brother, didn't you say that Beiyan's arrangement can only last for ten days at most?"
"It's been so long now, why is there still no news?"
Cao Zhang's face was twisted and he had no clue at all.
Normally this is true, but now it is obviously abnormal.
"Brother, just wait a little longer..."
Cao Pi was very helpless. He heard this sentence so much that his ears felt like calluses.
It’s okay to wait, but when exactly should we wait?
"Second brother, I'm not anxious alone, but worried."
"What should we do if the Han army loses?"
Cao Pi accepted the loss of the Liaodong Army to attack, which is also the fact he has always believed in his heart.
But he never accepted a bet that failed.
What if the Han army is really defeated and Bei Yan forces him to abdicate?
Even if there is no force, cynicism is inevitable.
How could Cao Pi endure it?
"Why..."
Cao Zhang lamented and had no way to reply.
The current situation was completely beyond his understanding, and he really didn't know what to do.
"Brother, wait a little longer. Don't you know how powerful the Han army is? Even my father can't defeat it. How can Beiyan win?"
"Wait patiently. I estimate that there will be news in a few days at most! And it is definitely not news about Bei Yan's victory!"
Cao Pi nodded helplessly.
"As of now, that's all it can do."
"hope..."
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door, interrupting Cao Pi.
"Mr. Cao! Is Mr. Cao in the house?"
Cao Pi and the other three stood up quickly, and the sound shocked them.
Not particularly familiar, but very familiar.
When he opened the door, there was no doubt that it was Wang Lie!
"General Wang! Please come in quickly!"
Cao Pi cordially greeted Wang Lie into the house.
Wang Lie was extremely moved, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"
The four of them returned to the house and sat down separately.
"General Wang, have you recovered from your injuries?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lie stood up again and bowed to Cao Pi.
"Without Mr. Cao, Wang Lie would have been a withered bone in the grave!"
"I came here today to thank Mr. Cao for saving my life!"
After saying this, he kowtowed to Cao Pi when he walked out.
In order to show his righteousness, Cao Pi quickly stood up and grabbed him.
"General Wang, you and Gu are brothers, why do you need to be so polite?"
Wang Lie refused and insisted on bowing down.
"Master Cao's kindness is no less than reincarnation. I must accept this great gift from Wang!"
"No!"
Wang Lie was persistent, and Cao Pi was even more persistent.
The more this happens, the more magnanimous he must be as a master.
"If General Wang is so polite, it will actually make Gu Han feel heartbroken!"
Wang Lie held Cao Pi's hands and froze immediately.
"I heard that Mr. Cao paid a heavy price for Wang, I don't know..."
"What General Wang said is true."
Before Cao Pi could speak, Cao Zhi stood up and replied.
This issue cannot be spoken by Cao Pi, it is more appropriate to say it from his mouth.
"General Wang doesn't know something! After you were taken away that day, my eldest brother immediately took our brothers to the prefect's mansion."
"Facing the difficulties faced by Grand Administrator Gongsun and General Bei, the eldest brother argued hard and refused to give in. It can be said that he would rather die than let General Wang be killed."
"But even so, Grand Administrator Gongsun and General Bei are still unwilling to give up, and they are determined not to give up until they kill the general!"
Wang Lie was in a depressed mood, which completely showed on his face.
"Master Cao, I was beaten to a pulp at that time, and I can vaguely feel this. But the process is not clear."
"I didn't expect that I would be so humiliated!"
"Hey, who says it's not!"
Cao Zhi tilted his head, full of dissatisfaction.
"To be honest, I am very surprised as to why Grand Administrator Gongsun and General Bei insist on putting the general to death."
"But fortunately, the eldest brother's desire to save the general is more important than the two of them's desire to kill the general!"
"The eldest brother did not hesitate and offered the position of state pastor that Grand Administrator Gongsun wanted most. Only then did Grand Administrator Gongsun change his mind and forgive the general."
"For this reason, eldest brother also lost the opportunity to openly claim the throne in Liaodong. The loss is not ordinary..."
"Third brother!"
Cao Pi scolded angrily and glared at Cao Zhi fiercely.
Then, he smiled warmly at Wang Lie.
"General Wang, there is no need to listen to third brother's nonsense."
"The position of state shepherd belongs to Gongsun Grand Administrator sooner or later. If it is given early and late, there is no difference."
"General Wang, please don't feel any psychological burden because Gu saved you. Gu did it all of his own free will."
Cao Pi was extremely smart and used another way to make Wang Lie grateful.
To directly claim credit would inevitably be to take advantage of someone else's situation.
Only by showing generosity can we show greater righteousness.
The fact was completely within Cao Pi's expectation. Wang Lie's gratitude was almost in tears.
After all, without Cao Pi, he would have been separated and passed away!
"Mr. Cao, although I am a rough man, I also know that it is hard to thank you for your great kindness!"
"In the future, Mr. Cao will be able to gain access to Wang Lie, but I will say it bluntly. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will never frown!"
Cao Pi was overjoyed, and his hands shook slightly with excitement.
After putting in so much effort, aren’t you just waiting for this day?
Now, it’s finally here!
