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

Chapter 88

Many people came to Cao Pi's house!
In addition to the royalist ministers headed by Fu Wan, there were also some nobles from Yanzhou who came.

Among the people from the gentry, there were people from the Xun family, the Guo family, the Li family, the Le family, and the Xiahou family. Although they were not important figures in the clan, they represented the family behind them and the few under Cao Cao's tent. a key general and conspiracy

They were bewitched by the royalists, and they came here as a temptation.

Now the whereabouts of the eldest sons Cao Ang and Cao Cao are unknown, and Cao Peng is ready to tear himself apart with the royalist ministers. Most of the gentry are inclined to Cao Pi.

It's not that they are trying to consolidate the position of Cao Cao's direct lineage, but they have other plans.

The rationale for this is very complicated.

Cao Peng is a ruthless character. If he is Cao Cao's heir, he will treat Cao Ang as a puppet.

Then under his iron and blood rule, it is naturally impossible for these gentry to want greater benefits.

And Cao Pi is just a child, at best he knows a little superficial tactics.

If Cao Pi is used to clean up Cao Peng, and then Cao Pi is used as a puppet, then Cao's control over the family behind them will collapse.

Therefore, the royalists and the gentry hit it off because of their sloppy interests.

As the organizer of this time, Fu Wan first started to say:
"That little Cao Peng is really unreasonable. He dared to arrest Master Dong Cheng and torture him for no reason. Poor Master Dong is so old, but he is still humiliated by this yellow-mouthed boy!"

"It's pathetic!"

"Hey, with such a virtuous person, what qualifications does he have to temporarily lead the Sikong Mansion on behalf of Cao Sikong?"

The ministers who came with Fu Wan exploded at one point, denouncing Cao Peng one after another.

Cao Pi's face remained calm, although he was a child, he showed a calmness beyond ordinary people.

"How could I be free to intervene in such a major national event, I'm afraid you adults have come to the wrong place."

Fu Wan smiled lightly and said: "My son's words are wrong. Cao Peng's tyranny is not only a disaster for the court, but also a disaster for your Cao family."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Cao Pi asked.

Fu Wan felt that Cao Pi had already taken the bait, so he continued to bewitch:

"Just imagine, my lord, this Cao Peng only took a token, and said that he was ordered by Sikong to take over the Sikong mansion temporarily, but after so long, Sikong didn't come back for so long, and there was no order to send back, don't you think it's strange?" ?"

Cao Pi's eyes were as deep as water, and he still had a noncommittal attitude.

At this time, an old man from Xiahou's family spoke up: "This is not only the worry of Lord Fu, but also the worry of our Yanzhou gentry.

I'm afraid it's Mr. Sikong, if there is any accident, this Cao Peng wants to take the opportunity to seize power! "

After Cao Pi heard this, he still didn't express his opinion, but said: "Even if something happened to my father, my elder brother Cao Ang will support it, and the overall situation will definitely not be chaotic."

Fu Wan immediately pretended to be excited and shouted: "My lord, what time is this? You still have to be confused. I am afraid that Mr. Ang has been controlled by Cao Peng. The fear of life."

Cao Pi looked at the crowd, he knew that the royalists and he were already grasshoppers on the same rope, but he couldn't figure out why these Yanzhou gentry would lean towards himself instead of hugging Cao Peng's thigh.

However, since people's hearts are already on his side, he might as well follow the trend!

Just as Fu Wan said, even if he wants to keep silent, it is very likely that Cao Peng will attack him.

Cao Pi sighed, "Hey, I am very grateful for your trust, but we have no soldiers in our hands. How can we fight against Cao Peng?"

Fu Wan smiled lightly, if he hadn't arranged everything early, how dare he come to Cao Pi?
"Don't worry, Mr. Pi, I have convinced Xiliang Ma Teng that he is willing to help us!"

Cao Pi still shook his head, "Ma Teng brought only a few hundred people, how can he compete with Cao Peng?"

At this moment, the gentry spoke up: "This time, the troops under Sikong's tent will only stay outside the city and keep their camps separately, and will not be mobilized by Cao Peng."

Hearing this, Cao Pi was really moved.

If Cao Peng can't mobilize the army, then what else is he afraid of?

Seeing that Cao Pi was on the verge of being persuaded, everyone knew the reason to add fire, and a minister in the crowd took the lead in shouting, and then more and more people began to encourage Cao Pi.

"My lord, please stop Cao Peng from disturbing Chao Gang!"

"As long as you stand up and raise your arms and shout, the army will definitely respond!"

"Young Master Pi should be the one who inherits Sikong's great lineage. We, the Yanzhou gentry, swear to support Young Master Pi to the death."

"..."

Cao Pi was flattered by these people, knocking down his last bit of vigilance and reason.

He laughed wildly and said arrogantly: "Okay, since this is the case, please rest assured, in order to prevent Cao Peng from messing up Chao Gang, I am willing to advance and retreat with you, my lords!"

At this time, he was full of ambition and really thought that he could kill Cao Peng and take control of the Cao family.

After the rhetoric, Cao Pi calmed down again.

"It will take a little time at this time, and we must not rush it."

Fu Wan said: "Naturally..."

Just when Cao Peng was colluding with these people, the news had already been sent back to Sikong's mansion by the spies.

Man Chong took the information sent back by the spies, and hurried forward to report to Cao Peng:
"General, Cao Pi has colluded with the gentry and royalist ministers!"

After hearing such a result, Cao Peng smiled with satisfaction, this is exactly what he wanted.

"Zhongkang, Bo Ning, everyone has begun to doubt me now, aren't you afraid of following the wrong person?"

Xu Chu scratched his head and smiled foolishly. Until now, he really hadn't thought of doubting Cao Peng.

Man Chong said: "What did your lord say? I am willing to die for you!"

He has already regarded this incident as a big gamble. As long as he wins the gamble, he will definitely be able to follow Cao Pengfei and Huang Tengda, and his future is limitless.

Cao Peng smiled lightly, he knew that these two people were really on the same line with him sincerely.

He said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, you don't need to wait here anymore, you lead the tiger and leopard riders, go outside the city, give the blood edict to the lord, and let the lord come back!"

Xu Chu hurriedly waved his hands, "How can this be done? If I take all the tiger and leopard riders away, there will be no one around you, and those Xiao Xiaoxiao will take the opportunity to make trouble, how will you deal with it?"

Cao Peng patted him on the shoulder and explained: "Don't worry, it will take a day or two for them to actually do it. It's enough for you to go back and forth quickly!"

"Besides, if you and the tiger and leopard rider stay by my side, they will never dare to do anything!"
