Chapter 1099 Cao Pi Is Furious

However, Cao Pi was not aware of the discussion between Hua Xin and Wu Zhi.

Cao Pi never expected that the two would actually go to find Bai Feng.

Although Cao Pi had always thought about encouraging Bai Feng.

However, now is obviously not a good time.

Not for anything else, but because Cao Pi now has a correct understanding of himself.

To put it bluntly, Cao Pi's current strength is far from reaching the level of being able to recruit Bai Feng to serve him.

Although Cao Pi is now a prince, the gap with others is not a little bit.

Don't look at the fact that Cao Zhi has lost the support of the Yang family now.

However, Cao Zhi owns Qingzhou.

Although Qingzhou is not an important prefecture, it is vast, rich in resources and has many wealthy merchants.

Once they support it, Cao Zhi's strength will definitely not be weaker than before.

It may even be strengthened.

As for Cao Chong, although only Bai Feng is supporting him now, there is also Cao Cao's bias.

However, whether Bai Feng sincerely wants to help Cao Chong or not.

As long as Bai Feng supports them, big families such as the Yang family and the Xun family will choose to fight against Cao Chong.

As for other princes, there is no need to compare.

Some are too young, and some don't even plan to think about the succession.

Therefore, among the three princes who are now competing for the succession, only Cao Pi is no different from a commander without troops.

Although Wu Zhi and Hua Xin are also officials.

But Hua Xin is not from a famous family, he can only be regarded as a mediocre gentry.

As for Wu Zhi, he is from a poor family, not to mention any background.

However, the talents of these two are indeed good, and Cao Pi is now in need of people.

These two have always been loyal to him, and Cao Pi will definitely not treat them unfairly.

Therefore, Cao Pi will not think about recruiting Bai Feng at all.

This is simply impossible.

Even if there is a slight chance, it is probably impossible to succeed.

What's more, Cao Pi does not think that Bai Feng will not know about the little tricks he secretly did with Cao Zhi.

The two major families in Xuchang are now all attached to Bai Feng.

What information can't be obtained?

Cao Pi now only wants to use his position in Jingzhou to recruit some small nobles.

If there are big nobles willing to follow him, it would be great.

Not only nobles, merchants, and even gentry, Cao Pi almost accepts everyone.

Apart from the fact that water drips through stones, Cao Pi has no other choice.

Now, he has accumulated the support of more than a hundred wealthy families and small nobles.

Cao Pi's power has begun to take shape.

Moreover, although Hanshou City is only a small city.

But its geographical location is not bad at all.

Jingzhou!

Now, Jingzhou has the most resources and talents in the south of the world.

As long as he tries to recruit as much as possible, he will sooner or later make his own world.

Of course, the current situation is not a dead end for Cao Pi.

Even if he doesn't go to Bai Feng, Cao Pi will not be too weak compared to Cao Zhi and Cao Chong.

Cao Cao has never been partial to anyone and has always been fair.

Especially in the fight for the throne.

Now that the door of the Sima family has been closed, there will definitely be another way out for him.

Not to mention that the three people's forces are completely the same, but Cao Cao will certainly give the three people a starting point to keep a balance as much as possible.

As long as the fight for the throne is successful and he becomes the prince, all these are in the past.

The first prince of Wei is absolutely unprecedentedly valuable.

At that time, there is no need to worry about no one coming to surrender, but to find them little by little.

Therefore, Cao Pi suddenly decided that he must not hide his shortcomings anymore.

If he continues to endure like this, I am afraid that he will not be able to be the prince, let alone the position of the prince.

If he is really like Cao Zhi and is named the King of Freedom, then there is really no hope.

"I hope these guys will not disappoint me."

Cao Pi murmured in a low voice while looking at the list of people willing to surrender to him.

Now what Cao Pi has to do is to wait.

What Cao Pi is waiting for is not Bai Feng.

It was the actions of Cao Chong and Cao Zhi.

As long as these two people take action, he can proceed to the next step based on what they do.

Whether to continue to recruit or to confront them directly, it all depends on them.

To be honest, Cao Pi is still very passive now.

Although Cao Zhi has become the King of Freedom now, he has half given up the fight for the throne.

However, no one can say whether Cao Cao will give Cao Zhi a chance.

As long as Cao Zhi wants to fight for the throne, Cao Cao is likely to give him this opportunity.

And now Cao Zhi owns the entire Qingzhou!

Qingzhou is definitely not small, after all, it was the territory of Qi and Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

With such a large territory, is there still a lack of talents and resources?

Isn't that a lot?

Moreover, Cao Zhi is not without people around him.

For Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu did not hesitate to leave the Yang family's shadow and join Cao Zhi.

Who said that Yang Xiu was a little arrogant, but in any case, he was really talented and practical.

With such a counselor around him, plus Cao Zhi always liked to make friends widely.

There are also many small nobles who are willing to follow Cao Zhi.

If so, he will become even more terrifying than Cao Chong.

However, he should not move at present.

After all, he has just been named the King of Freedom. Even if he has ideas, he can only do some small actions in secret.

If it is announced at this time, and Cao Cao will definitely not be happy to recruit nobles to fight against Cao Chong.

After a simple analysis of the current situation, Cao Pi stood with his hands behind his back and whispered:

"Come here, invite Mr. Wu Zhi and Mr. Hua Xin."

"Just say that I have something important to find them!"

Hearing this, the guards outside the door were stunned at first, and then whispered:

"Yes!"

"But..."

"Your Majesty, the two adults have been here just now, and they heard that Your Majesty was resting, so they didn't come in."

"They just left this letter, saying that they would give it to Your Majesty, and then left in a hurry."

Cao Pi was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Letter?

What are these two doing?

Thinking of this, Cao Pi could not help but open the letter.

After seeing the content above, Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed:

"Absurd, stupid, and ignorant!"

"How can these two people go to find Bai Feng at this time?"

"And they are still heading to Nanzhong?"

"Go, send someone to bring them back!"

"Tell them not to make such a decision for the king!"

The guard was stunned at first, and then immediately understood and said:

"Yes!"

After that, several guards around hurried to the stable to get Hua Xin and Wu Zhi back.
