On the official road of Liaodong County, a group of soldiers and horses were advancing rapidly.
A dazzling banner with the word Cao is fluttering in the wind.
The person at the head was tall and straight, his eyes were tenacious, and he naturally exuded a terrifying aura.
It was Cao Zhang who led the army to Fuli City with Gongsun Kang's permission.
Cao Zhang was not happy at all to lead his army on an expedition again and enjoy this dream scene.
It would be fine if he didn't go to war, but when he goes to war, it's to avenge his elder brother.
How sad?
If possible, Cao Zhang doesn't want this opportunity.
"Second brother..."
Cao Zhi stepped forward, his face very solemn.
"I always feel like something's not right?"
"My eldest brother is cautious by nature and never likes to take risks. Why did he lead the troops alone this time to burn food? Is there possible conspiracy in this?"
Cao Zhang looked forward and was silent for a long time before shaking his head.
"Third brother, I thought so too at first, but after thinking about it this night, I rejected this idea."
"Do you still remember the handwriting that Big Brother wrote before? Every line is full of heroism!"
"If you want to command an army, it's not enough to just get Wang Lie's approval. You must get the approval of the soldiers!"
"I can't charge into battle, big brother, but there's no problem in burning food and grass. You can also take advantage of this opportunity to show your majesty."
“This time it’s in line with my elder brother’s style of doing things!”
Cao Zhi was quite enlightened.
"I see, my little brother is not thinking clearly."
"It doesn't matter."
Cao Zhang didn't blame Cao Zhi. Faced with such an unexpected situation, it was inevitable that his thoughts would be confused.
"Third brother, you still remember that Gongsun Kang found us in advance, right? If he knew about this in advance, would he still do this?"
"I estimate that Gongsun Kang must have received a report that he discovered the Han army's grain and grass hoarding area and was about to win a great victory, so he asked me to go there to discuss the invasion of troops."
"I just didn't expect that a sudden defeat would disrupt everything..."
Cao Zhi kept thinking about this information in his mind.
It was nothing at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense, and I couldn't help but feel convinced by Cao Zhang.
"They say that the second brother is brave but not wise. It's a joke. In my opinion, the second brother is the wisest and bravest!"
"The eldest brother is gone. The future revival of Wei will fall on the second brother!"
Cao Zhang was not interested in these impassioned words.
To be honest, Cao Zhang's obsession with the revival of Wei was far less intense than Cao Pi's.
In other words, he is not worthy of being compared with Cao Pi.
Rights and status are more important to Cao Pi than life.
What Cao Zhang values is fighting on the battlefield and charging into battle.
Fighting to avenge Cao Pi is more interesting than becoming king and restoring the country.
"Third brother, the Han army is strong and Liu Zhang is treacherous. How can we easily defeat him?"
"This time, if I can avenge my eldest brother, it will be very difficult. As for the rest, it is still..."
Cao Zhang didn't say anything further, but Cao Zhi already understood completely.
I am also dissatisfied with this negativity.
"Second brother, is this the end of Wei Dynasty?"
"if not?"
Cao Zhang didn't hide it anymore and spoke directly.
"How powerful was the late king? If he unified the Central Plains and Hebei and became a king, wouldn't he also end up dying somewhere else?"
"You and I, brothers, are far less talented than the late king, and our prestige is even less than that of the late king. How can we talk about restoring the country?"
"Besides, who is Liu Zhang?"
Cao Zhi wanted to refute, but seeing Cao Zhang's sincere eyes, he couldn't say anything at all.
Indeed, who is Liu Zhang?
The world was almost peaceful, leaving only the tiny land of Liaodong.
Without even showing his face, one of his generals is enough to completely pacify them.
How to bridge this gap that can never be bridged?
The previous grandiose ambitions were nothing more than delusions in the final analysis!
"Second brother, then we will..."
Cao Zhang shook his head. He was even more confused about the future than Cao Zhi.
Even if he could defeat Zhao Yun, even kill him, avenge Cao Pi and avenge his hatred, what would happen?
Will we continue to fight against the Han army?
Why does personal bravery mean nothing in the face of the general trend of the world?
Moreover, for confrontation, we must rely on Gongsun Kang.
Wouldn’t that mean he became a general under Gongsun Kang?
As the prince of Wei, do you want to serve Gongsun Kang?
At least Cao Zhang would rather die!
"Third brother, don't think so much now, we still don't know what exactly happened."
"Then Zhao Yun is number one on the Heavenly Ranking. How powerful is his martial arts? I... have no confidence in defeating him."
Cao Zhi was shocked. He knew Cao Zhang well.
I don’t have confidence in this, so I’m afraid I’m just trying to force it out.
What I'm thinking must be that I can't defeat others.
"Second brother, if that's the case, why do you still have to..."
"For revenge!"
Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly became firm and fierce.
"This decisive battle involves death!"
"Even if I die, I will never let Zhao Yun have an easy time! Liu Zhang killed his father, and Zhao Yun killed his eldest brother. How can we not avenge such a blood feud!"
After a pause, Cao Zhang's tone softened again.
"Third brother, if you fail to be a brother, you will have to fend for yourself..."
Cao Zhi said nothing more and nodded lightly.
He knew very well what Cao Zhang meant.
Gongsun Kang, you can’t believe it!
Once Cao Zhang died in battle, Gongsun Kang could not go back.
When I go back, I will just get a blank look.
If you are not careful, your life will be at risk!
"Third brother, I heard that Liu Zhang treated the Cao clan well in Yecheng..."
"Second brother!"
Cao Zhi angrily stopped Cao Zhang.
"The late king died at the hands of Liu Zhang. If the eldest brother and the second brother were killed by Zhao Yun's gun one after another, can the younger brother still surrender to Liu Zhang?"
"The worst deal... The worst deal... The worst deal is that the younger brother will accompany the elder brother, and the second brother will go to hell together!"
Cao Zhang opened his mouth, but in the end not a single word came out.
In his view, surrender may not be a way out.
Of course, if Cao Zhi decides, it will be hell. . . There’s nothing to be afraid of!
