Chapter 1097 Cao Pi's Speculation

Just when Bai Feng was busy in Wuguo.

At this time, in Hanshou City.

It has been nearly two months since Cao Pi moved to Hanshou City.

In the past two months, Cao Pi has not rested and has been constantly trying to win over some small clans.

He knew that he had temporarily lost the support of the Sima family.

Under such strict control by Cao Cao, if he did not quickly win over small forces, he would probably have to be an ordinary little prince.

However, it can be said that hard work pays off.

Wu Zhi and Hua Xin, who are under Cao Pi, are also excellent.

With their eloquent tongues, they have now won over nearly a hundred nobles to join them.

Although these nobles are all small clans, most of them are small families in the local area.

Moreover, there are even some gentry in them.

But Cao Pi doesn't care.

Even if it is a gentry, as long as he is willing to help him, it is a little bit of power.

What Cao Pi lacks now is this little bit of power.

"How long has Bai Feng been in Nanzhong?"

At this time, Wu Zhi and Hua Xin had just returned from their work outside and reported the current situation to Cao Pi.

Suddenly, Cao Pi asked.

Wu Zhi and Hua Xin were slightly stunned.

This...

It has been more than two months since Sima Shi came to deliver Sima Yi's intention.

During this period, Cao Pi never even mentioned the name Bai Feng.

And Bai Feng seemed to have evaporated, and there has been no news from Nanzhong.

Although the two were relatively well-informed, it was difficult for them to reach out to Nanzhong.

After all, in their eyes, Nanzhong was just a barbarian land.

They looked down on it before, and now even if they wanted to pay attention to Bai Feng, they couldn't get in at all.

So, the two were speechless.

"About...more than two months?"

Wu Zhi said carefully.

He was afraid that Cao Pi would be unhappy because of this matter.

However, Cao Pi's face was surprisingly calm, and he said in a slightly deep voice:

"More than two months..."

"Since Bai Feng went to Nanzhong, it has been nearly three months now."

"Even when we attacked the Qiang people before, it has never been so long."

"The barbarians in Nanzhong are just some small barbarians, far less than the Qiang people."

"Why did he go for so long?"

Wu Zhi and Hua Xin were silent.

This kind of thing, only a ghost knows.

In addition, the people of Wei and the barbarians in Nanzhong have never had any contact.

Nanzhong is difficult to attack, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are not many resources, far less than Bashu.

If Bai Feng hadn't wanted to attack, I'm afraid Cao Cao might not have wanted to move the Nanman.

Just like the small foreign tribes around, there are not many resources, and the number of people is also sparse, and they are all uncivilized barbarians. Even if they get it, the income is not proportional to the cost.

"Why is Bai Feng willing to waste all his time in a place like Nanzhong that is not worth mentioning at all?"

"Do you two have any good ideas?"

Cao Pi still refused to give up and asked the two of them.

Since Cao Pi said so, the two of them could not avoid it.

Therefore, Wu Zhi spoke first:

"I think that Bai Feng's goal is not necessarily above this Nanzhong."

"I'm afraid that going to Nanzhong is just an excuse. He just wants to find a place to hide."

Hearing this, Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhi with interest:

"Oh? Why do you say that, sir?"

"With Bai Feng's current status, what is there to hide?"

"Bai Feng is now in the same status as me. As a prince, what else is there to worry about?"

Wu Zhi shook his head repeatedly and said:

"Your Majesty, think about it carefully. You two are fundamentally different."

"This Bai Feng is the first and only king of a different surname since the founding of my Great Wei."

"Although he was canonized by His Majesty, a king of a different surname is still a king of a different surname."

"No matter what, he is Bai Feng, not Cao Feng."

"Just this point alone has forced him to try every possible way to evade it."

"This is also something that can't be helped. Not to mention Bai Feng, anyone else would do the same."

At this time, Hua Xin also nodded and said:

"I second the proposal."

"After all, Bai Feng is a king of a different surname."

"In fact, your majesty gave Bai Feng such a high position, which is actually a warning to Bai Feng in a sense."

"Bai Feng's current status is already the highest among the ministers, and there is no more title to be given."

"Now that the Wei Dynasty has just been established, most of the credit comes from Bai Feng to be honest."

"And your majesty is the founding monarch, so naturally he does not want to leave the crime of killing meritorious officials."

"Therefore, your majesty promoted Bai Feng to a position that is almost unattainable by everyone, that is, a king of a different surname."

"It is not so easy to be a king of a different surname."

"If you want to stay in this position for a long time and be safe and sound, you must avoid suspicion."

"Even if your majesty directly asked Master Cao Chong to find Bai Feng for assistance, it is still the same."

"Your majesty must control Bai Feng."

"Although the king of a different surname is a king of a different surname, it is difficult for him to recruit troops and hide troops in private."

"After all, your majesty is watching everything."

Wu Zhi also nodded hurriedly and said:

"It's rare that Zi Yu and I have the same idea."

"Bai Feng is a smart man, so he naturally guessed this matter."

"Therefore, Bai Feng has been busy all this time, constantly consolidating the foundation of the Wei Dynasty."

"I guess it's to respond to your majesty's intention."

"Now Prince Cao Zhi and the prince have left the palace and have their own fiefdoms."

"He should have sensed the crisis, so he made up a random excuse and hid somewhere."

"As long as Bai Feng doesn't appear in the court, nothing will happen."

"This move, Bai Feng protects himself More than enough."

"If it were me, I would certainly do the same, but I'm afraid I might not do it as well as he does."

"And now the only place that best suits his purpose is Nanzhong."

"So, please don't worry too much, sir."

"Bai Feng is now at the end of his rope and dares not make any progress."

"Now, sir, you might as well continue to develop your own power."

"Without Bai Feng, Master Cao Chong is just a weak kid."

"And Master Cao Zhi has given up the fight for the throne."

"We still have a very high chance of winning."

At this point, Wu Zhi did not avoid suspicion at all and directly told the matter.

Now Wu Zhi and Hua Xin actually have only one purpose.

That is to assist Cao Pi to take the throne.

Now that Cao Pi is in trouble, the two of them naturally use all their tricks.
