Chapter 189 The Yuan family’s old script

Yuan Shao is dead...

Not to mention Cao Cao, even Cao Chong, who was being teased by Cao Cao, and Cao Pi, who was about to follow Xun Yu and others, were also stunned on the spot.

Originally, Cao Pi planned to come over and get acquainted with these important officials and counselors of Cao Cao, but when he heard the news of Yuan Shao's death, he no longer had such interest.

While Cao Cao didn't see him, Cao Pi immediately greased his feet and rode his war horse to Hewu to look for He Yan.

"He Yan! He Yan!"

Cao Pi still didn't get over his habit of being the first to impress others. When he saw He Yan's figure from a distance, he started shouting, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't be able to see him.

After being called, He Yan calmly raised his head and glanced at Cao Pi, then lowered his head and continued to teach Cao Zhi next to him——

"If you like beautiful flowers, you can cultivate them yourself. You don't have to spend a lot of money to buy them. Otherwise, it won't be worth it if you make your father angry! Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The two of them talked to each other, completely ignoring Cao Pi's voice and concentrating on studying the gadgets in their hands.

"Hey! He Yan! Did you do this on purpose?"

Cao Pi finally rode his horse to He Yan's side. As soon as he got off the horse, he used his hoarse voice to question He Yan fiercely.

He Yan then shook his head in confusion: "No! I really didn't hear anything! Cao Zhi, do you think so?"

Cao Zhi nodded quickly: "Brother He Yan is right! I only heard the sound of the wind just now, but nothing else?"

When Cao Pi saw Cao Zhi here, he suddenly thought of Cao Jie who was "led out" by He Yan, and unconsciously felt an ominous premonition.

"What are you doing here?"

"Learn from Brother He Yan!"

"study?"

Cao Zhi cheered up and introduced what he had learned to Cao Pi: "Brother He Yan is teaching me how to plant flowers!"

Cao Pi:???

I saw Cao Pi looking at He Yan strangely. After confirming that the He Yan in front of me was a real person, he cautiously approached He Yan's ear and asked, "He Yan, are you playing tricks on Cao Zhi?"

He Yan shook his head.

Cao Pi refused to give up and continued to ask: "No! Let's have fun together! Talk to me! Don't tell me that you really want to teach Cao Zhi how to play with those flowers and plants!"

He Yan sighed: "Cao Pi, Cao Zhi is a real literary and artistic young man. Unlike you, a pseudo-artistic young man, he really likes this! You need to have a bigger picture!"

Cao Zhi also said: "I have realized something since Brother He Yan asked me to have a bigger picture last time."

Cao Pi asked curiously: "What happened?"

"When a man is alive, he can't just like women!"

Cao Pi:???

After reacting, Cao Pi took a breath of air, hurriedly distanced himself from Cao Zhi, and once again lay on He Yan's shoulder and asked: "He Yan, have you given Cao Zhi the habit of Long Yang?"

He Yan pushed Cao Pi away in disgust: "Compared with him, you are more like Long Yang, okay?"

"What Cao Zhi means is that as a human being, you should always discover some interesting things! Look at other people's consciousness! You, the elder brother, don't blush?"

"cut!"

Cao Pi waved his sleeves indifferently: "What I want to do is much better than playing with flowers and plants!"

He Yan rolled his eyes: "Don't be poor! What do you want from me? After that, go home and start your great career!"

Only then did Cao Pi remember his purpose of coming to He Yan, and he shouted excitedly to He Yan——

"Yuan Shao is dead!"

"oh."

"..."

On the way here, Cao Pi had imagined countless possible reactions from He Yan.

Whether it was shouts of excitement or stunned silence, none of these reactions would surprise Cao Pi.

But in the end, He Yan's unusually cold "Oh" made Cao Pi's expectations all dashed.

"He Yan."

Cao Pi thought He Yan didn't hear clearly, so he said to He Yan again: "Yuan Shao is dead! Yuan Shao! General Yuan Shao! That Yuan Shao from Hebei! He is dead!"

"I know."

This time Cao Pi made it very clear, but He Yan's attitude remained the same, which made Cao Pi feel a deep sense of frustration.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Anyone can die, even if the person who dies is named Yuan Shao."

"Then you're not excited?"

"Who gets excited about the dead? Did you see the excitement on your father's face when you came out of Sikong Mansion?"

Cao Pi was speechless for a moment and hesitantly said: "I, I didn't pay attention."

However, Cao Pi's ability to adjust his mentality was too powerful, so he just started to have fun on the spot by himself: "Yuan Shao is dead, and Hebei is still at your fingertips!"

"As long as Hebei is captured, the north will be completely pacified! He Yan! Do you know what this means?"

Cao Pi's naive face burst out with an unprecedented expression: "It means that the troubled times are about to end!"

"..."

He Yan saw that Cao Pi was as happy as a two-hundred-pound child, and did not disturb him until he had passed the excitement and asked him: "Who told you that once Yuan Shao dies, Hebei will be pacified?"

"Although Yuan Shang's ability does not require Yuan Shao, it was extremely stable during the transfer of power in Hebei. The strength of the entire Hebei has not suffered much loss. How dare you say that Hebei can be easily pacified?"

Cao Pi's expression, which had been excited just now, suddenly turned cold.

"Also, even if the north is pacified, there are still Qiang and Ma Teng and Han Sui's gang in the west who have plagued the Han Dynasty's border areas for two hundred years. Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south are not fuel-efficient lamps...Liu Zhang and Shi Xie are not enough.

They are afraid of each other, but they can completely separate themselves by relying on geographical advantages. Who told you that troubled times can end easily?"

Cao Pi longed for peace, and He Yan understood this.

But if peace can be obtained so easily, how can people cherish it anymore?

It is true that Yuan Shao of Hebei died, but Hebei's strength was not damaged.

In history, Cao Cao completely pacified Hebei. In fact, he mainly took advantage of the Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers to fight against the enemy. In addition, in the ninth year of Jian'an, a large-scale famine broke out in Hebei, so that he could successfully conquer Hebei.

Just like that, it took Boss Cao nearly six years, both inside and outside! If everyone takes Yuan Shao's death as lightly as Cao Pi, who knows how long it will take to pacify Hebei.

As for the rhetoric that unifying the north will end the troubled times... this is even more tragic! After all, when Boss Cao ran into Red Cliff, the entire land of China began a period of troubled times that lasted for more than four hundred years.

"Don't be too ambitious, just do your own thing slowly."

"Even if Hebei can be recaptured immediately, it won't be your turn to lead the army, right?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Pi immediately retorted when He Yan said this: "I will lead the army to go on an expedition this time!"

Huh?

He Yan looked at Cao Pi in surprise.

Is it possible that this guy's psychological shadow has healed?

The last time Cao Cao went on an expedition, he followed Boss Cao to Wan County to conquer Zhang Xiu. After Cao Ang died in battle, he was left with a huge psychological shadow.

Now Cao Pi actually wanted to take the initiative to go on an expedition, which really surprised He Yan.

"What's that look in your eyes? It's not like I've never been on the battlefield!"

Cao Pi was very dissatisfied with being looked down upon: "And this time, I want to win back my eldest brother's share!"

…

The more righteous and correct what Cao Pi said, the more He Yan felt that something was wrong, so he squinted his eyes and stared at Cao Pi.

After a long time.

Cao Pi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he reluctantly told another reason——

"I heard from Wei Zhen that Yuan Xi's wife is extremely beautiful. If Yecheng is captured, He Yan, do you think I can kiss Fangze?"

He Yan:......

Now He Yan just wants to pray silently and let Brother Cao Ang's spirit from heaven come down and beat Cao Pi hard.

There was just that moment, really just that moment! He Yan actually thought that Cao Pi had changed his gender and wanted to become a real eel... Looking at it now, haha!

Looking up at Cao Pi again, He Yan's eyes were full of contempt: "Are you willing to risk your life just for beauty?"

"Hey~ you see what you said!"

Cao Pi jumped skillfully in front of He Yan, and helped He Yan straighten the wrinkles on his collar as if to please: "Even if I go to the battlefield, I will still have you! You can kill the enemy generals! With you protecting me, I will

...It should be okay, right?"
