There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Ang asked doubtfully, "That's it?"

Jia Xu didn't answer, just looked at Cao Pi with a smile, his smile was very easy-going, but it made Cao Pi feel numb.

Cao Pi bowed his hands to Jia Xu, and muttered something casually in a low voice, but no one heard it clearly.

Jia Xu didn't care too much, he stroked his beard, said something casually to Cao Ang, then slowly turned and walked back.

At this moment, Cao Pi's clothes were completely wet, and he turned over and over in his mind about what Jia Xu said just now.

What does it mean to get out of a catastrophe without escaping your life under Sikong's hands?

Could it be that other than my father, there are other people who could kill me?

If so, who was that person?

Cao Pi pondered left and right, and finally he suddenly realized that it is possible that the person he was referring to was himself?

But why did this old guy take my life?

"unless"

Cao Pi was talking to himself, and suddenly came to his senses, as if he had figured out something.

Cao Zhang looked at him from the side: "Second brother, what are you thinking of?"

Cao Pi came back to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, Second Brother can rest assured."

Cao Ang nodded, and said: "Second brother, although you have made a big mistake, I will treat you as a brother no matter what. I hope that from now on, you can reflect on me three times a day, and don't worry about the past. You did something unnatural."

Cao Pi said to Cao Ang: "Thank you for your concern, brother. My brother will remember his teachings."

"Okay, you can rest in my camp temporarily. If there is a chance in the future, I will advise my father to find a job for you in the army. It will be better than wasting your life like this."

Cao Pi seemed very moved. He bowed his hands respectfully to Cao Cao and said, "Thank you brother for begging for me in front of my father today. From now on, I will only obey my brother's order."

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, you just need to do what you should do."

"promise."

On that day, Cao Pi was ordered to live in Cao Pi's camp in Jiange.

That night, Jia Xu came to Cao Ang to bring some information about Tao Jun brought by the Eagle and Snake Mansion. When he was leaving Cao Ang's command tent, he happened to meet Cao Pi walking in from the outside.

Jia Xu nodded at Cao Pi and didn't say much, but Cao Pi hurriedly stopped him.

"Stay with Mister."

Jia Xu turned to look at him: "Second Young Master, is there something I need to do with this old man?"

Cao Pi looked around and said, "May I have a chance to talk to you sir?"

Jia Xu was not unreasonable, and immediately followed Cao Pi to a corner not far from the handsome tent, where no one was around.

Cao Pi seemed a little hesitant, he grabbed the corner of his clothes with his hands, he seemed a little hesitant, he didn't know how to speak.

Jia Xu raised her eyebrows: "Why did the Second Young Master ask me to come here?"

Cao Pi made a long bow to Jia Xu: "Thank you Mr. He for saving your life."

Jia Xu said indifferently: "This is strange. When Mr. Cao wanted to deal with the Second Young Master, the old man was not there, nor did he intercede for the Second Young Master. How can he say that he is saving his life?"

Cao Pi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Jia has high eyes and can see everything. The younger generation dare not pretend to be big in front of Jia Gongming."

Jia Xu nodded secretly, thinking that Cao Pi is really smart, able to guess what he said during the day, and see clearly the puns in his words, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

"Don't tell the truth if you see through it. This is the old man's code of conduct. The second son doesn't have to worry about it. The old man just doesn't have that habit."

Cao Pi hastily said: "Mr. He's habit has indeed saved my life, but, after all, you are my father's subordinate, why do you not?"

"Second Young Master, do what you should do well, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you know?" Jia Xu smiled and said, "In this troubled world, it's not a good thing to know something you shouldn't know."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Pi nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely remember what Mr. He said."

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "The old man's camp is not far from you. If you have anything to ask, you can ask me. Few people usually pay attention to the old man. Just ask if you have anything to say."

Cao Pi quickly nodded in agreement.

At the same time, the Jinling Army began to attack Jiange on a large scale.

Jiange Pass is extremely dangerous. After arranging Cao Pi to enter the pass, the potters did not want to attack in order to reduce losses, but Guo Jia advised him.

What Guo Jia meant was that in the current situation, Cao Pi had already entered the pass. If Cao Pi hadn't been killed by Cao Cao, then his side had to attack the pass by force.

After all, our side has just been attacked by surprise, and we have lost Zhang Fei, Cao Zhang, Cao Pi and others. If we don't seek revenge and fight back, let Cao Cao and Liu Bei take a look, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion.

The pottery merchant considered Guo Jia's suggestion, and immediately ordered his generals to take turns shouting and attacking at Jiange Pass.

Xu Chu, Zhang He, Ji Ling, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others took turns to attack, but Jiange Pass was too steep and it was really difficult to take it down.

Both sides of the pass are high mountains, and ordinary people can't climb them at all, and the narrow pass can arrange the attacking forces to fight against each other, which is very difficult for the Jinling army.

After such a delay for a period of time, the Jinling army did not advance an inch.

During this period of time, Cao Pi did not send any news.

Jinling army commander's account, potter's account.

"We've been attacking for so long, but Cao Pi hasn't moved. Prime Minister, didn't he play tricks on you?" Xu Chu hesitantly expressed his suspicions to the potter.

The potter leaned on his chin and fell into deep thought.

When he was young, he raised his head, sighed, and said, "If it's true, then Tao has lost the bet and miscalculated Cao Pi."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "If you really miscalculated him, it is also the fate of the lord. It is really helpless."

The Tao merchant sighed, and said: "If Cao Pi can't respond internally, how to get through the Jiange pass, if it is a hard attack, I'm afraid it will be too difficult."

"The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. If there is no good opportunity, just confrontation, I am afraid that it will consume extremely huge material and financial resources."

While everyone was discussing, they saw Pei Qian running in in a hurry, and said to the pottery merchant, "Prime Minister, there is news from Jiange Pass, and it is a letter to the Prime Minister."

Chapter 998 Cao Cao's Chance

As soon as the pottery merchant heard that there was a letterhead, he immediately asked Pei Qian to hand him the letterhead.

Pei Qian hurriedly presented the letterhead to the potter.

The potter opened the letterhead and saw that there were neat rows of small characters written in it. The characters were not beautiful, but they were very neat.
