Wang Lie surrendered.
Subsequently, the Han army came to respond and forced Wang Lie and his generals and soldiers back to the Han army camp.
Many of the five thousand troops were captured.
Wang Lie was also temporarily taken to the Han camp as a prisoner.
In this regard, Zhao Yun personally gave an exaggeration.
Cao Pi, with just over a hundred men, was able to capture Wang Lie alive and seize a fortress garrisoned by 5,000 men, which really opened his eyes.
In fact, before agreeing to Cao Pi's plan, Zhao Yun had planned to defeat a hundred soldiers, throwing away their armor, or even annihilating the entire army.
Unexpectedly, Cao Pi gave him such a surprise.
The only fly in the ointment was that almost all the grain and grass accumulated in the city were burned.
The only thing left on the soldiers was better than nothing.
Even so, Zhao Yun was in high spirits.
The fortress that even he could do nothing about was captured by Cao Pi in a matter of seconds. It was worth a surprise no matter what.
However, Cao Pi was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He did not take credit for his success, let alone be satisfied. Instead, he immediately proposed a second strategy to Zhao Yun.
Having achieved the feat of defeating Wang Lie, Zhao Yun agreed after some thought.
Cao Pi was overjoyed and respectfully resigned.
After walking out of the handsome tent, he immediately stopped covering up and his nose almost turned up to the sky.
Cao Zhang, who had been waiting outside the handsome tent for a long time, came over immediately.
"Brother!"
"Second brother!"
Cao Zhang captured Wang Lie alive, which was a well-deserved achievement.
It is also the most critical part of Cao Pi's plan.
Moreover, in the future, Cao Pi also pointed at Cao Zhang and made meritorious deeds again.
"The credit for being able to capture the right wing and make an emergency landing on Wang Lie this time is none other than you!"
Cao Zhang smiled and felt a little emotional.
"I didn't expect that our brothers' tacit cooperation would actually help the Han army."
"Brother, things are unpredictable!"
Cao Pi was shocked and quickly pulled Cao Zhang aside.
"Second brother, you must never mention such words again in the future!"
At present, they have surrendered to Zhao Yun and have made great achievements, which are enough to gain a foothold in the Han army.
Cao Pi would never tolerate a few words ruining a major event.
If someone with an intention hears it, they may think that Cao Pi has other thoughts.
"Haha, I didn't expect big brother to be so cautious!"
Cao Pi was a little helpless.
"How can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves?"
"In the future, you, my brothers, and the entire Cao family will be under the command of Liu... King of Han, so we must be careful!"
Cao Zhang looked around, made sure no one was around, and then leaned into Cao Pi's ear.
"Brother, do you really have nothing else on your mind?"
Cao Pi wanted to open his mouth to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to be blocked.
Indeed, it is difficult to say something that does not mean what you mean.
No matter how much he conceals it, ambition will never completely die.
"Hey, second brother, I don't have to hide it from you. How can I be willing to give up this great Wei legacy?"
"But now, are we still left to our own devices? To be honest, helping Zhao Yun defeat Gongsun Kang is like helping Liu Zhang crush the Wei Dynasty!"
"I'm alone... I have no way out."
"It's stupid to do something when you know it's impossible! For the sake of the hundreds of Cao family members, as a brother, I can no longer go my own way."
Hearing this, Cao Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was really afraid to hear that Cao Pi had not given up yet and was still thinking about restoring the country.
In that case, you are really seeking death.
For the sake of the Cao family, Cao Zhang had to consider annihilating relatives for justice.
You can't ruin everyone just because of one madman!
"Brother, it's great that you think so!"
"This is a blessing to the entire Cao family!"
Cao Piruo looked at Cao Zhang thoughtfully, feeling very complicated.
In fact, he heard something between the lines.
In the future, I'm afraid no one will follow his stupid actions.
"Second brother, don't worry. This time I help Zhao Yun win Liaodong, and the military merits obtained in return are enough to gain a foothold under the King of Han."
"Although the power is gone, it is not difficult to achieve a life of wealth and honor!"
Cao Zhang nodded repeatedly, letting go of his worries and his expression became natural.
"Brother, don't worry. Xiangping City has not yet been conquered, and Gongsun Kang has not been captured yet. There will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future!"
"From now on, I will definitely take the lead in every battle and be the first to get there! I will make contributions to my eldest brother and the Cao family!"
Cao Pi patted Cao Zhang's shoulder happily, very pleased.
"If you have a second brother, I will feel relieved as a brother."
It happened that there was nothing going on here, so Cao Zhang took Cao Pi to his tent.
"Brother, actually I don't understand something."
Cao Pi was in a good mood and was naturally happy to answer his questions.
"It doesn't matter, just say it."
"Brother, why did Cao Pi keep his life when he insulted our brothers so much?"
"I just killed him on the spot. I guess some of the rebels in the city didn't dare to do anything."
"Brother is not really convinced by Wang Lie, is he?"
Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Zhang with a half-smile.
"Why, do you think your brother is so easy to deceive?"
"Wang Lie has tricked us like this, how can he hide it from my eyes?"
Cao Zhang was a little confused, his brain was not good at thinking about this matter.
"Brother, why?"
"Hehehe..."
"Of course there is a purpose. Brother Wei is deliberately giving Wang Lie a step down."
Cao Pi stroked his sparse beard, feeling quite proud.
"My second brother only knows one thing, but not the other."
"Wang Lie is just a little guy who is just hanging on for a living, so why is it so difficult to kill him? On the contrary, making him a tool to help our Cao family is the most important thing!"
"Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to wait until I have squeezed out all his use value and then kneaded him wantonly?"
"Just imagine, how does Wang Lie feel when he knows that he is being used by us and helped me accomplish a great feat?"
Cao Zhang's eyes lit up.
"I must be so angry that I might not even be able to sleep at night!"
"Then what if Wang Lie knows that he has helped us and will be killed by us?"
Cao Zhang's eyes widened in shock and he couldn't believe it.
"If this is really the case, I'm afraid I won't die in peace!"
The corners of Cao Pi's mouth raised, revealing a sinister smile.
"Yes, I just want him to die in peace!"
"You must pay the price for bullying our Cao family's children!"
