Five days later, Xiangping City.
After receiving the news about Wang Lie, Cao Pi and the other two people were even more afraid to shine.
There is no way out of the door, completely isolated from the world, so as not to cause a sense of presence in public.
There is no way around this.
The situation in Beiyan ahead is unknown, and it is very likely that the Han army will be repulsed.
Under such circumstances, how could Cao Pi and the other three dare to show their faces?
If you are too ostentatious, aren't you waiting to be punished?
The less present he is at this moment, the better. It would be best if the whole of Liaodong forgets his existence.
The three of them stayed in the hotel and were never idle, always thinking about the next strategy.
Unfortunately, there is no solution even after racking one's brains.
Unless Beiyan is defeated, what awaits them will be unacceptable consequences.
Early in the morning, the three of them sat together again and started a new day of discussions.
It's just that the whole morning has passed, and it's still a wasted time.
"Oh, it's such a torment."
After many days, Cao Zhi had already exhausted all his strength.
Even if he is forced to death, nothing can be done.
Sitting around and discussing is just a symbolic formality.
There can't be three people sitting around doing nothing.
"Third brother, do you have a plan?"
"No."
Cao Zhi shook his head.
He answered as many times as Cao Pi asked.
The words and actions used in each answer are exactly the same.
Cao Pi's face sank.
There is no strategy, what nonsense are you talking about here?
At this time, Cao Zhang also spoke.
"Brother, continuing like this is not the way to go. It's better to try to get the battle situation ahead."
How could Cao Pi not know that this matter is extremely difficult?
If you want information, you need to go out.
It's not enough to just go out, you have to go to the state pastoral office.
How can one get such secrets as the battle report from the front casually?
You have clearly decided to reduce your presence, so why do you still take the initiative to deliver it to your door?
"Second brother, I think there should be no progress, otherwise how could Xiangping City be so peaceful?"
Cao Zhi glanced at him in surprise.
"Brother, I have been here all day and have never left. Even if Xiangping City is turned upside down, there is no way to know."
"In my opinion, staying like this is not the answer. We need to find another way."
Cao Pi also glanced back angrily.
It’s easy to say, but extremely difficult to do!
"Third brother, if you have any good ideas, please tell me as soon as possible."
Cao Zhi heard that Cao Pi was not angry, and felt a little unhappy.
"If I have a solution, can you not tell me?"
"However, now that things have happened, there is really a way."
Cao Pi and Cao Zhang looked over at the same time.
"What?"
"Look for Wang Lie."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant's voice sounded outside the door.
"Mr. Cao, General Wang Lie is asking for an audience outside the post office."
What to say, what to say.
Cao Pi was very shocked and looked at Cao Zhi with eyes full of suspicion.
Could it be that Cao Zhi made deliberate arrangements in advance?
Cao Zhi quickly shook his head in denial.
"Big brother, it has nothing to do with little brother."
Some things can be faked, and some things can't be done at all.
This matter is absolutely impossible.
"I know."
Cao Pi snorted lightly.
"You stay with Gu all day long, how can Gu not know what you are doing?"
"I just want to ask you, what are you going to do after you find Wang Lie?"
Cao Zhi just mentioned it casually, without any specific plan.
Now, I can only bite the bullet and answer.
"Brother, please ask Wang Lie for the latest situation."
Cao Pi guessed that he didn't have any feasible suggestions and didn't bother to pay attention.
He turned his head and gave orders to the servants outside the door.
"General Wang, please come in."
"As you command!"
There was a lot, and there was a knock on the door.
"Master Cao, Wang Lie would like to see you."
Cao Pi opened the door himself and welcomed Wang Lie in.
"General Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel so lonely!"
Wang Lie's eyes flashed with emotion.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cao! If I were not busy with military affairs, I would have come to see Mr. Cao long ago."
"No problem, please come in!"
After Wang Lie entered the room, he, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi nodded and finally took their seats.
Cao Pi was not idle, he spoke directly and jumped into the topic.
"I don't know if General Wang is here today, but do you have any advice?"
Wang Lie's face straightened and he nodded slightly.
"Exactly!"
This move made Cao Pi's heart thump.
Judging from the look, it's definitely not a good thing.
Thinking of the future, Cao Pi had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Could it be Bei Yan..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Lie nodded again.
"Sure enough, Mr. Cao knows things well. He is none other than Bei Yan!"
"The battle ahead has ended. After I learned about the situation, I rushed over as soon as possible. I want Mr. Cao to be prepared!"
"this..."
Cao Pi's heart became heavier and heavier as he raised his voice.
The war is over, but how to make preparations?
What should he do when he thinks about Beiyan's return soon?
"Hey, I really regret it!"
Cao Pi slapped his thigh, feeling unspeakable regret.
Although regret is useless, it does not affect the heart of regret.
When Cao Zhang saw this, he couldn't sit still.
"Brother, this whole matter happened because of my younger brother. If there is any investigation, I will bear the responsibility alone!"
"No big deal, I just have to pay for Beiyan's life!"
Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhang briefly but did not reply.
Can he sacrifice Cao Zhang in front of Wang Lie?
"General Wang!"
Cao Zhi also stood up, raised his hands and looked at Wang Lie.
"The general has also seen it. We have a deep friendship as brothers and we will live and die together!"
"General Wang, please save my life for the sake of what happened before!"
"ah?"
Wang Lie, the second monk, was confused and had no idea what Cao Pi and the others were doing.
Especially the red eyes, the endless regret and the look of reluctance.
He was even more curious about Cao Zhi's prayer to him.
"Mr. Cao, you... what are you going to say? I don't understand."
"never mind!"
Cao Pi waved his hand.
"Third brother, the matter has come to this, why bother General Wang?"
"This...is the fate of being alone!"
