Wang Lie was embarrassed, but still nodded.
Things are not what they used to be!
You are no longer the prince of Wei you used to be.
A year ago, Wang Lie would have believed it without hesitation.
At that time, Cao Pi was unparalleled in power and had control over the whole of Hebei. It was no problem to reward Wang Lie and the Wang family.
But what about now?
Cao Cao is dead and the country is destroyed. These are all empty words.
Wang Lie was not a fool, so how could he believe such a promise that was completely impossible to fulfill?
"It's not that Mr. Wang despises the young master, but the current situation... Hey!"
"Hehehe..."
Cao Pi chuckled, not caring at all.
"General Wang, I have always believed in one truth."
"As the saying goes, everything depends on man-made efforts! Just because I have nothing now does not mean that I will still be like this tomorrow!"
"The same applies to General Wang! As long as General Wang is willing, the future is not a dead end! Not only that, generals in the middle, generals in the side, peace and security in all directions, conquests in four towns, and generals in all directions are not the end of General Wang!"
"Now, the opportunity is right in front of us. How to make a choice and whether to seize it or not depends on General Wang himself!"
A few words made Wang Lie even more confused and his head felt dizzy.
"Mr. Cao, I am stupid and don't quite understand..."
"I wonder if Mr. Cao could explain it briefly?"
"Can!"
Cao Pi nodded, and the next two words stunned Wang Lie.
"rebel."
"What!"
Wang Lie was frightened and directly provoked Lao Gao.
"Mr. Cao, I...did I hear wrongly?"
Cao Pi looked straight at Wang Lie and shook his head seriously.
"You heard me right, it's rebellion!"
"At this point, it's almost a certain death situation! If you don't want to surrender and wait for death, the only way is to rebel!"
"While Gongsun Kang has not yet made up his mind, before Bei Yan can take action, we must strike first!"
"He who can control others can not be controlled by others! Does General Wang understand this truth?"
Wang Lie nodded subconsciously, but immediately shook his head desperately in denial.
"No... No! Mr. Cao, I will never betray you..."
"General Wang!"
Cao Pi shouted loudly.
This reaction was completely within his expectation, so he was even more confident.
"General Wang, this is definitely not the betrayal of General Wang, but the betrayal of General Gongsun Kang and Bei Yan!"
"Just imagine, when the sword and ax come to bear, will they remember General Wang's past achievements?"
Perhaps it touched the pain in Wang Lie's heart, and his expression immediately seemed extremely unnatural.
It is obvious when a person is struggling internally.
This is what Wang Lie is like.
After repeated struggles and back and forth ideological struggles.
Finally, Wang Lie sighed.
"Hey, Mr. Cao, please forgive Wang for not agreeing!"
"The late lord Gongsun Du showed great kindness to Wang. Wang would rather die than betray him!"
"If Zhou Mu insists on killing Wang, then Wang will just die!"
Cao Pi was very worried. Why did Wang Lie suddenly regret it when he was about to succeed?
"General Wang, you can't think only of yourself!"
"If General Wang is killed, will Beiyan forgive the Wang family?"
"General, you must think twice before you act!"
Wang Lie's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and it was obvious how unwilling he was.
"If the Wang family encounters this kind of difficulty, it is really God's will!"
"No matter what, Wang must not do anything contrary."
"Today, just pretend that Wang didn't hear it, Mr. Cao, don't say anything anymore!"
"this..."
Cao Pi froze on the spot, not knowing how to continue speaking.
I originally thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to capture Wang Lie in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect this to be the ending.
Don't say it anymore, you have already firmed up your attitude.
Even if Cao Pi tells the truth, Wang Lie will not be swayed.
Fortunately, Wang Lie showed favor to Cao Pi and pretended not to know.
But this is not cause for joy. Without Wang Lie's support, the uprising has no chance of winning.
At this moment, Cao Zhang stood up.
"General Wang, can you listen to what I'm going to say next?"
Wang Lie wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it he nodded.
He has a higher tolerance for those who defeat him.
"Master Cao, please speak, but if you are trying to persuade Wang to rebel, please don't speak respectfully!"
"Haha, General Wang misunderstood. In fact, my eldest brother didn't mean to make General Wang rebel."
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Pi was stunned.
That's what he obviously meant.
"What do you mean, Mr. Cao?"
"It's like this. The Beiyan traitors have harmed us, and even the soldiers of Liaodong. They will definitely harm Zhou Mu in the future."
"With such a traitor, isn't General Wang afraid that Liaodong's foundation will be destroyed in his hands?"
"this..."
Wang Lie also fell silent. He had to pay attention to the issue of Liaodong's foundation.
Loyalty and foolish loyalty are just one word apart, but they are thousands of miles apart!
"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for reminding me, but Gongsun Zhou is a wise and wise pastor, and he will not allow himself to be humble."
"Wang believes that Mr. Zhou Mu will not..."
"General Wang takes it for granted!"
Cao Zhang directly retorted without giving Wang Lie a chance to finish his words.
"Since ancient times, such a wise monarch always has traitors around him, and he will definitely miss important things!"
"No matter how obedient Gongsun Kang is, can he be worth Wang Lie's treachery? If General Wang is gone, who will stop Bei Yan's nonsense?"
"Isn't General Wang afraid that one day Beiyan will become big and harm Gongsun Kang?"
Wang Lie's eyes widened and flickered.
It was obvious that the firmness in his heart had been shaken by Cao Zhang's words!
"Bei Yan's harm is worse than that of the Han army!"
"Below...below..."
Just when Wang Lie was struggling and didn't know what to do, Cao Zhi suddenly stood up.
One sentence immediately made Wang Lie freeze on the spot.
"General Wang, aren't you afraid that Beiyan has already surrendered to the Han army?"
"He harmed us first, and then General Wang. In the end, whose turn is it?"
