Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 177 Sima Yi Hiding in the Dark
After Cao Cao's order was issued, Cao Ren was a little embarrassed to be honest.

Cao Ren didn't want to take this muddy water anyway.

But it is impossible for him not to obey Cao Cao's order.

He was very low-key and ready to go, but there was something that surprised even him.

Before Cao Ren left, Cao Pi came to find him.

It goes without saying that Cao Pi is Cao Peng's deadly enemy, and he must have some crooked ideas in his heart now.

"My lord, long time no see." Cao Ren said.

He had indeed not seen Cao Peng for a long time.

Since the last time Cao Pi was implicated because of Xu Tian's incident, he was grounded by Cao Cao until now.

In Cao Cao's eyes, he was just a child less than 10 years old.

So Cao Cao can forgive all these mistakes he made.

Now, he studies diligently every day, but he has gained Cao Cao's favor.

Cao Cao's control over him is not as strict as before.

Without the danger of his life, Cao Pi naturally wanted to fight for the big position.

There is no suspense that his elder brother Cao Ang has the best chance of inheriting Cao Cao's mantle.

What's even more frightening is that Cao Peng, who plays intimately with Cao Ang, is so powerful that even he has to be afraid of it.

If you can take the opportunity to kill Cao Peng, then it is definitely an opportunity.

So he felt that Cao Ren could take advantage of it this time.

Cao Pi not only called Cao Ren, he also called Li Dian.

After the three exchanged pleasantries for a while, Cao Pi began to express all his thoughts.

Cao Pi said: "General, there is one thing you must think about clearly. If Cao Peng is allowed to intervene in the war in the south this time, his influence in the army will overwhelm you and you will no longer be able to hold your heads up!"

After Cao Ren heard this, he wanted to laugh a little, he is not stupefied now.

How could he be fooled by such an obvious attempt to use him as a gun?
Seeing that he was unmoved, Cao Ren continued to talk about other things.

In the end, Cao Ren remained expressionless in the end!
As for Li Dian, who made up the numbers, he kept a low profile as a leader on weekdays, and followed Cao Ren's attitude in everything he did.

So Cao Ren did not express his opinion, and Li Dian did not speak either.

Cao Ren also knew that he couldn't do without talking.

So Cao Ren cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I know about this matter. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"

Cao Pi did not expect Cao Ren to have such an attitude. It seems that Cao Ren no longer intends to continue targeting Cao Peng.

Now that he was sure that Cao Ren was not his friend, Cao Pi's expression turned cold.

After leaving Cao Pi's tent, Li Dian looked a little wrong.

Cao Ren knew at a glance that this guy must have some ideas.

What Cao Pi said just now really almost moved Li Dian.

He felt that it was necessary for him to educate Li Dian.

"Li Dian, I advise you, don't make enemies with that lord!" Cao Ren said earnestly.

Li Dian frowned and nodded.

Although he didn't know Cao Ren, why was he so afraid of Cao Peng.

But he knew his own weight, he was not as good as Cao Ren, so he didn't plan to cause trouble.

Cao Pi didn't know what Cao Ren and the others thought.

But he has his own business to do.

After sending Cao Ren away, Cao Pi sneaked to the most secret place of his house.

In this hidden place, he met a young man.

This person is hiding here, standing behind the scenes and knowing everything for Cao Pi.

This person is Sima Yi, who comes from a famous noble family, the Sima family.

Before, Cao Cao heard about this person's talent, and sent people to look for him, but found nothing.

Unexpectedly, this person was hiding in Cao Pi's house.

In fact, it was not that Sima Yi was unwilling to take refuge in Cao Cao, but that he was suffering.

The reason why he hid in Tibet was because Jin Yiwei was hunting him down.

At first, the members of the Sima family thought it was Cao Peng who wanted to kill him, but later they found out that was not the case.

Sima Yi's father, using various connections, finally learned that the person who wanted to kill him was Cao Peng.

Cao Cao didn't specify Jin Yiwei to kill him, but Cao Peng gave the order.

I don't know why Cao Peng has always had such a strong hatred for Sima.

But Sima Yi could only run one step first.

By chance, Sima Yi met Cao Pi and became Cao Pi's staff.

Has been hiding in his mansion.

Cao Pi knew that this was his only chance to stand up, so he treated Sima Yi very respectfully.

Almost regarded Sima Yi as his teacher.

After saluting Sima Yi respectfully, Cao Pi began to ask for advice.

"Sir, Cao Ren is uncharacteristically, it seems that he doesn't want to join us in targeting Cao Peng again!"

When Sima Yi heard this, he frowned, and then said: "It seems that the most complicated thing in this world is the human heart. It is impossible for Cao Ren to become our friend. You don't need to have too much contact with him in the future."

Cao Pi cupped his hands, "I would like to follow Mr.'s instruction!"

Now that Sima Yi has told him to give up Cao Pi, he doesn't plan to make any more small moves.

……

Cao Ren and Li Dian set out from Xudu, while Cao Peng set out from Xuzhou.

It took some time for Cao Peng to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to set off, so the 3 elite soldiers led by Cao Ren and Li Dian came to the front line first.

Xia Houyuan saw it, and immediately went to meet Cao Ren when he arrived.

As if he was looking forward to the rain, he thought about sending troops to rescue his elder brother Xiahou Dun every day.

But Cao Ren was very cautious this time, and did not intend to send troops immediately.

Xia Houyuan had no choice but to say: "General, please send troops quickly to save my elder brother. The Xiahou family and the Cao family are of the same spirit. I hope the general will not forget."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ren knew that Xia Houyuan thought of him as that cowardly person.

Cao Ren said: "What are you talking about? I just think the timing is wrong now, and I never said that I would not rescue him."

Xia Houyuan was very anxious at this moment, how could he understand what he said.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A young woman walked in.

"Thanks to you guys, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Cao Ren looked at the girl in surprise, and it took him a while to recognize who this girl was.

This angry woman is Xiahou Dun's daughter.

Xiahou Dun has many sons, but only such a daughter, who has always been regarded as the apple of his eye, and has an excellent relationship with her daughter.

Therefore, when he was captured by the enemy this time, his daughter was very anxious.

Cao Ren could understand her feelings, but he would not delay military affairs because of personal feelings.

"Niece Xiahou, things on the battlefield must not be willful, because he is related to the life and death of many soldiers, please understand me!" Cao Ren could only say in an apologetic tone.

"The general always talks about timing, but I would like to ask, what exactly is timing?" Xia Houyuan asked.
