Chapter 673

Only Cao Pi, who played the part of a filial son, won easily and was named heir by Cao Cao!

Upon receiving the news, Cao Pi was so overjoyed he lost his composure, hugging Xin Pi by the neck,

"Mr. Xin, do you know how happy I am?"

When Xin Pi returned home, he told his daughter, Xin Xianying, about the matter.

The talented woman sighed,

"Father, the Wei Wang is now critically ill. As the heir, he should be acting with a heavy heart on the King's behalf, yet he is so joyful—this is not the behavior of a wise ruler..."

Upon hearing this, Xin Pi lamented that his daughter had greater insight than he did, yet it was a pity she was a woman!

"Daughter, the heir's wife, Lady Ren, lacks patience, is not gentle enough, and often quarrels with the heir. The heir intends to divorce her, and regarding you..."

Xin Xianying hurriedly waved her hand and said in a low voice,

"Father, you must not. You are a renowned scholar with an excellent reputation. Even if Lord Xuande comes in the future, you will be highly valued, and our Xin family will be safe. If I were to become the heir's consort, I would inevitably be dragged into the vortex."

Xin Pi sighed,

"Daughter, you are not young anymore; it is time to find a husband."

Xin Xianying, however, had many thoughts in her mind,

"I intend to write a biography for Lord Xuande; naturally, I must ask him for guidance in person, right?"

Xuxian,

Liu Bei listened to the latest intelligence from Yecheng,

"Everyone, I did not expect so many things to happen in Yecheng in such a short time."

"Cao Ang actually used Guo Tu's strategy? Has this boy not seen how much Yuan Shao suffered because of him?"

"I did not expect that after I cured Cao Chong once, he would fall victim to foul play again."

Liu Ye cupped his hands,

"My lord, Cao Cao has lost his way. Now that he is critically ill, all previous hidden dangers will be exposed."

Guo Jia stepped forward,

"My lord, Cao Cao is critically ill and Cao Ang has been deposed. Hebei is currently in a state of turmoil; it is time to mobilize troops against Hebei!"

Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and others echoed the sentiment,

"My lord, the scholars of Hebei are currently unsettled. If our army moves out, many will have the intention to surrender. If we utilize this well, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Liu Bei nodded. Everyone understands the principle of striking while the enemy is ill.

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to wait a few more years,

But plans cannot keep up with changes.

Within the Cao army, because Cao Cao is critically ill, so many things have happened; now is the time to give it a push! Yi.
