Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

At the same time, in Xuchang City.

The entire city of Xuchang is still as prosperous as before. The vendors on the streets are selling vigorously and seem to be enjoying themselves.

However, on the street, a young man in a gorgeous white robe was running hurriedly down the street.

This person is none other than Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu came to Cao Zhi's house almost in a panic.

At this time, Cao Zhi was holding a writing brush and thinking thoughtfully in front of the stone table.

It seems that he wants to write some poems.

"Dezu?"

Seeing Yang Xiu panting, Cao Zhi couldn't help but said doubtfully:

"Could it be that Jiang Wei came back from Jingzhou?"

Yang Xiu nodded heavily, and Cao Zhi put down his brush:

"What's the result? Has he been given to..."

Before Cao Zhi finished speaking, Yang Xiu sighed and sat opposite Cao Zhi:

"Sir, we failed."

"What?!"

Cao Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief on his face:

"How can this be?"

"Didn't you send out five hundred assassins?"

"The number of guards around Jiang Wei is only a hundred or so at most. How could this possibly fail?"

Yang Xiu shook his head slightly.

In fact, Yang Xiu didn't know what happened.

Because, among the five hundred assassins, not one came back alive!

Yang Xiu knew about the failure because he had made an agreement with the assassin that one day later, regardless of success or failure, they would meet in a broken Taoist temple outside Xuchang City.

However, Yang Xiu waited for a whole day and didn't see anyone coming.

What does this mean?

The assassins have been wiped out!

Therefore, in order to confirm it, Yang Xiu specially sent people to Hanzhong to investigate.

Jiang Wei has arrived in Hanzhong safe and sound!

Not a single one of the more than a hundred people who followed him died!

After informing Cao Zhi of this situation, Cao Zhi's face suddenly became extremely ugly:

"Impossible! Even if there are more than five hundred people facing each other head-on, no matter how powerful the guards sent by Bai Feng are, there is absolutely no way they can stop them from killing someone!"

"Dezu, is there something wrong with your dead soldiers?"

"After the last failure, maybe they don't dare anymore!"

Yang Xiu shook his head heavily:

"Sir, this is absolutely not the case."

"At first, I thought it was those dead soldiers who betrayed me."

"However, the spies I sent to Hanzhong said that they saw Jiang Wei coming back with several horse-drawn sacks, and it looked like there were people inside!"

"However, they should all be corpses."

"So, these dead soldiers did not betray me, but they are all dead..."

Cao Zhi couldn't help but stand up, take a few steps back, and accidentally collapsed on the ground.

This was simply unacceptable to Cao Zhi.

The most important thing is that neither Cao Zhi nor Yang Xiu knew how Jiang Wei escaped.

Five hundred assassins!

He was able to survive under the siege of five hundred assassins. Could it be that Jiang Wei had hundreds of lives?

Cao Zhi didn't know this clearly, but there was one thing that Cao Zhi knew very well.

Bai Feng will definitely become suspicious!

To be able to let the dead soldiers besieged here so accurately shows that it was premeditated.

Most of the people in the world who are enemies of Bai Feng are among the Sun and Liu coalition forces.

It was too late for the entire people of Cao Wei to support Bai Feng!

As for the rest, except for Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, the rest are the major noble families.

But which nobleman has the courage to attack soldiers who are executing orders? !

Doing this is no different from rebelling against Wei!

Thinking about it this way, the only ones who dare to do this are Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi is now very reasonably convinced that he has been suspected!

If Bai Feng becomes wary, it will be extremely difficult to do something to him again!

"Dezu, what should we do now?"

Cao Zhi had no choice now and turned his attention directly to Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu frowned and whispered:

"There is still a way, but it depends on whether the young master is ruthless enough."

When Cao Zhi heard this, he frowned and said:

"What do you mean by this?"

Yang Xiu's eyes were as bright as a torch and he said solemnly:

"Young Master should know that the most suspicious persons in this matter are me and Young Master Cao Pi."

"If you want us to have nothing to do with this matter, we can only evade all suspicion."

Although Yang Xiu didn't say it out loud, Cao Zhi still understood, narrowed his eyes and said:

"What Dezu means is to put the blame on Zihuan?"

Yang Xiu nodded slightly.

Although Yang Xiu has been fighting openly and secretly with Cao Pi for Cao Zhi, after all, Cao Pi is the son of the Cao family, and Yang Xiu would not dare to disrespect him no matter what.

But now I can’t control that much anymore.

If Cao Pi was not pushed out as a scapegoat, the two of them would be the ones to be retaliated against by Bai Feng.

Nowadays, Bai Feng's strength is completely beyond the comparison of the two.

Whether it's reputation among the people, prestige in the court, or status in Cao Cao's eyes, Bai Feng is almost at the top.

Let alone Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, no one in the entire Cao family can compare with Bai Feng.

But although Cao Zhi and Bai Feng already had some dissatisfaction with each other, they had not yet reached the point of breaking out.

But the movement this time is really big, and Bai Feng will not sit idly by and ignore it.

Five hundred assassins, assassinate one person!

Moreover, he is still the person Bai Feng reuses now. How could Bai Feng not be angry?

However, before executing this decision, Yang Xiu had already made complete preparations.

It would be great if it succeeded, and everything would be fine.

Even if Bai Feng wanted to take revenge, he couldn't find anything at all.

And his goal has been achieved.

But if it fails, there is only one way.

That is to throw the blame directly on Cao Pi's head.

As long as Cao Pi is pushed out to fight Bai Feng, it will have nothing to do with Cao Zhi at all.

At that time, the situation will be favorable to Cao Zhi.

After all, Cao Zhi could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watch the fire from the other side, and watch them fight.

Moreover, Cao Zhi also had an innate advantage, which was the love of King Wei.

As long as he persists and waits until King Wei decides to proclaim himself emperor and then crown prince, everything will be settled.

Although it was such an idea, Yang Xiu didn't intend to tell Cao Zhi at first, or until now.

He knew that Cao Zhi might not be so cruel.

Moreover, Cao Zhi also knew that the possibility of failure was very small.

However, the current situation is urgent.

No matter how reluctant Cao Zhi is to choose, he must make a choice.

Either, completely push Cao Pi out as a scapegoat, or have no choice but to fight Bai Feng on his own.
