In order not to break up with Gongsun Kang, who had just eased the relationship and was close to him, Cao Pi could only show his embarrassment.
He sighed softly, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head.
"Gongsun Zhoumu, I'm afraid this won't work."
"Second brother's military training method is a top secret of the Cao family! The late king has already spoken it, and it must not be spread outside!"
"It's not that I'm unwilling, I really can't disobey the late king's order!"
For the sake of the relationship between the two parties, Cao Pi deliberately found a peaceful reason.
If you put the responsibility on a dead person, you won't be blamed, right?
Moreover, it involves the late Wei King Cao Cao.
"Gongsun Zhoumu, please remember the long-standing friendship between the Cao family and the Gongsun family and please bear with me!"
Gongsun Kang originally wanted to fight with Cao Pi, but after hearing this, he had no choice but to do so.
Even if you say it in such a low profile, how can you fight for it?
There are only two options right now.
Either agree and give Cao Zhang three thousand men, or refuse and ignore the consequences, even if the negotiation fails.
Time passed little by little, and Gongsun Kang was still thinking.
Giving to people, and giving it to three thousand people, was obviously full of reluctance.
I'm afraid it's impossible to agree unless it's absolutely necessary!
Cao Pi waited quietly, not looking anxious, but in fact his heart was already shaken.
This is an excellent opportunity, and it can also be regarded as the only opportunity.
It is unacceptable to seek military power on the grounds of defeating the Han army, and it is even less likely that military power will be touched in the future.
What better reason than this moment?
I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to speak.
No matter what, Cao Pi could not give up, and even for the sake of military power, he could have a little quarrel with Gongsun Kang.
With the weapon to defeat the Han army in his hand, Cao Pi was confident!
After a long time, Gongsun Kang breathed out gently.
Just when Cao Pi thought that Gongsun Kang had bowed to reality and was about to reluctantly agree, Gongsun Kang unexpectedly shook his head.
Refused?
This did not occur to Cao Pi.
If you reject yourself, what can you do to defeat the Han army?
"Lord Zhou Mu!"
Just when Gongsun Kang was about to shout out his words of rejection, Wang Lie spoke first.
"Lord Zhou Mu, I have some superficial opinions. I wonder if you can tell me?"
Gongsun Kang was annoyed and didn't want to hear it.
But he didn't make up his mind, so he agreed.
"Tell me about it."
"As you command!"
Wang Lie secretly glanced at Cao Pi and gave him a reassuring look.
Cao Pi felt inexplicably energetic, and a feeling of peace of mind flowed in his heart.
It seems that with Wang Lie's help, it will be successful.
"Lord Zhou Mu, Master Cao made a bet with Bei Yan before, and it was Lord Zhou Mu who testified."
"Today, Beiyan's defeat is an indisputable fact and cannot be disputed. Regardless of whether the force of the horns has any effect, it has been defeated."
"The general felt that Mr. Cao could have used the bet to ask Mr. Zhou Mu for 3,000 troops, but Mr. Cao did not have it. Instead, he wanted it for the overall situation of Liaodong and to defeat the Han army. This move was already a act of great benevolence, justice, wisdom and courage! "
"Master Zhou Mu is true to his word, and he is the most trustworthy in his life. I have never heard of Master Zhou Mu breaking his promise."
"I think Mr. Cao was also worried that Master Zhou Mu would be difficult to do, and he didn't want to ruin Master Zhou Mu's reputation, so he didn't mention it."
"Since Mr. Cao is so benevolent and righteous, I will have the courage to make a request to Mr. Zhou Mu on Mr. Cao's behalf. These three thousand troops are nothing to Liaodong, but if they can be used as a surprise force to defeat the Han army, it will be of great significance!"
"Master Zhou Mu, please think again!"
Gongsun Kang looked depressed when he heard this, and frequently glared with unkind eyes.
Wang Lie turned his elbow outward, who could not be angry?
"General Wang, I listen to your wishes. If I don't agree to Mr. Cao, will I become unkind and unjust?"
"The general never meant this!"
Wang Lie quickly bowed his hands.
"Lord Zhou Mu, the general just feels that the three thousand men should belong to Mr. Cao. What if Mr. Cao wants to defeat the Han army and asks for more troops?"
"Now there are only three thousand people, which shows the sincerity of Mr. Cao! The Han army is strong, so we should work together. Sir, please think twice!"
Gongsun Kang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.
After all the reasons have been explained, if he refuses again, it would be really unkind on his part.
In desperation, he could only nod his head reluctantly.
"In that case, how can the Honshu Mu refuse?"
"Bei Yan happens to have a battalion of soldiers and horses under his command, with 3,300 people, the pastor of this state..."
After a pause, Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth and finally stamped his feet before making up his mind.
"The Honshu Muyi was given to Mr. Cao!"
Cao Pi was so happy that he almost couldn't help but jump up to celebrate.
"Thank you Gongsun Zhoumu!"
After thanking him, he pulled Cao Zhang in front of him.
"Second brother, why are you still standing there?"
Cao Zhang also bowed his hands.
"Thank you Gongsun Zhoumu for your trust. I guarantee that we will train the soldiers into elite soldiers to defeat the Han army!"
At this point, Gongsun Kang could no longer refute anything.
In addition to accepting, there is no other choice but to accept.
"Okay, I'll wait and see what Mr. Cao is capable of!"
"Don't worry, Gongsun Zhoumu!"
After everything was discussed, everyone in the house was naturally happy.
Although he spent more than 3,000 people, he still got a way to defeat the Han army. Gongsun Kang could also comfort himself with the blessing of a blessing in disguise.
It didn't take long for me to accept this fact and become normal.
Originally, things ended successfully and everyone was ready to leave.
But when he was saying goodbye, he was stopped by Gongsun Kang.
"Master Cao, General Wang, the Han army is currently stationed in Changli City, waiting for the reply from Benzhou Mu."
"Once they learn that Bei Yan has been captured and that Benzhou Mu refuses to submit and hand over Mr. Cao, they will definitely attack immediately."
"We have been defeated for a while, so we must not lose the next battle! Otherwise, not only Mr. Cao, but also the Honshu Mu will die without a place to bury him!"
