Xudu City, a wine shop, a private room on the third floor.

——"The rooster is so beautiful that it is as far away as the edge of the roar. I wish to show my might and fight against this mid-Tang."

A young man in his twenties, carrying two chickens in his hand, sang poems and walked into the Accord.

The poem he recited was called "The Poem of Fighting the Rooster", which combines the description of the distance, eyes, tail and wings of the chicken with its movements of standing, stepping, sprinting, and jumping.

It not only describes the heroic spirit of a chicken, but also implies the intense battle scene.

His name is Liu Zhen, whose courtesy name is Gonggan, was from Ningyang, Dongping. He was the grandson of Liu Liang, one of the seven sons of Jian'an in the past and the former Shangshu Ling.

Seven years ago, because he avoided military chaos, he hid in Xudu with his mother and brothers, and met Cao Pi and Cao Zhi in the inn.

Later, he served as the chief lord under Cao Cao's command.

During this period, Guangfa sent letters and invited Wang Can, Shanyang, Xu Gan, Chenliu, Ruan Yu, and Runan to Xudu at the invitation of Yan and others, forming a special literary group and reshaping the Hongdu Literature Museum.

Outside Xudu’s Imperial Academy, another place for scholars all over the world.

He had a tacit understanding with Cao Pi and treated him as his brothers.

Now, Cao Pi invited him to talk to him, and he came with two chickens from his hometown in his hand.

Cao Pi had been waiting in it for a long time, and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing him entering the door, Cao Pi subconsciously raised his head, but his expression was a bit complicated, as if he was worried. "The sharp claws were used to explore the jade, and his eyes were filled with fire. The long raised wind was rising, and the strong beak was spreading.

, the electric shock returns to the sky!”

Cao Pi chanted the second half of Liu Zhen's poem "The Poem of Fighting the Cocks", and immediately ordered his servants to take the two chickens and send them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After the servants left, Cao Pi opened his mouth.

"Brother Gong Gan wrote this "Cock Fighting Poem". The chicken must be a good chicken, but the two chickens fight together are so fierce. What if it were... the prince's dispute? I guess it is ten times more dangerous than this cockfighting?"

Obedient and listen to the sound...

When Cao Pi blurted out this sentence, Liu Zhen thought about it and thought it out.

certainly.

He didn't know that Cao Pi secretly heard the conversation between Cao Cao and Cao Ang.

I learned that Cao Ang was basically out of reach for the position of prince because of his "benevolence and filial piety and kindness", and because of this, Cao Pi's heart was surging.

Cao Ang was eliminated, does that mean that he has a chance?

"Are the second young master considering the dispute over the princes of the Yuan clan in the northern border?"

Liu Zhen slapped his mouth and asked tentatively. "The Yuan family's foundation deserves to be destroyed, and the eldest son was abandoned and the youngest son was established, and the way to cause disaster, let alone the youngest son was passed on to the youngest son, but the army was left for the eldest son? Yuan Benchu

I'm really confused!"

this…

Answering the question is not the question!

Cao Pi held his eyebrows. "Brother, I invite you here today, not to discuss the dispute between the prince of the North, but...but..."

When the words came to the mouth, Cao Pi felt a little difficult to speak...

He doesn't know what to say.

"But what?" Liu Zhen asked anxiously.

well…

Cao Pi sighed and simply told the conversation between his father Cao Cao and his brother Cao Ang at noon.

Speaking of which, Cao Pi only heard this for two hours, and it was freshly released, and it was like a thorn in his throat!

He could only discuss with those who could trust.

The only two people who could make him trusted by Cao Pi were Liu Zhen, and the other was Qin Yilu and Madam Du's son, Qin Lang, the adopted son of his father Cao Cao!

They are what Cao Pi calls his own people!

hiss…

After Cao Pi said that, Liu Zhen's eyes turned repeatedly, and finally... he quickly got up and closed the window and door of the elegant room.

Then he narrowed his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, and knelt down next to Cao Pi carefully.

"Does the second young master want to fight for this prince?"

this…

Cao Pi was a little embarrassed. If he said he didn't want to fight, it would definitely be against his will. But if he wanted to fight, no one could tell if he had a discerning eye. His father loved his younger brother Cao Chong the most...

In addition, Cao Chong is indeed extremely smart. When it comes to wisdom, he is more agile than Cao Pi.

If you enter the Imperial Academy again, follow Zijian and get Lu Yu's advice and make great contributions... It is hard to imagine who else has a chance to be assisted by Lu Yu in the future?

Therefore... Cao Pi was silent and didn't know how to answer.

Liu Zhen seemed determined to break the casserole and ask to the end. "If the second young master doesn't even dare to say it, then... how can he fight?"

"Who doesn't want to fight?" Cao Pi finally spoke. "In the current situation, fighting for the prince is like fighting for the world. Opportunities are in front of you. That position is so... so tempting!"

Cao Pi couldn't say this even if he was two years older.

Forbearance is Cao Pi's biggest feature, but... Now that he is young, in addition to forbearance, he still has a sense of impulse!

Hearing this, Liu Zhen paced left and right, he squinted his eyes, as if thinking...

It seems that it is completely revisiting the whole thing.

Including Cao Chong, Cao Ang, and Cao Pi.

"Tread..."

"Tread..."

Continuous footsteps kept coming, and these sounds made Cao Pi feel confused.

"My dear brother, brother, you...you're going to give me an idea!"

tread…

Liu Zhen stopped and his eyes must have figured it out. "If, if the second young master really wants to take this step, he needs another person, not... it's the other two people's.

Help.”

Before Liu Zhen finished speaking, Cao Pi replied immediately. "I know one of them, Lu Ziyu. Now his father trusts the most. Which young master he stands on, which young master has more than doubled his chances of winning!"

"Not bad!" Liu Zhen nodded.

No matter which young master wants to compete for the prince, he can't get around Lu Yu's link.

Lu Yu is the censor, in charge of the school affairs office and supervising all officials.

It is no exaggeration to say that he holds the lives of all officials in his hands, and lives and death.

In addition, his Long Xiao Camp is the most elite soldier in Cao Camp. His "big brother" Xiahou Dun holds the largest number of infantry in Cao Camp, while his "qualified father-in-law" Xiahou Yuan holds the "Leopard Cavalry" in his hand.

Having said that, the key is... He is also Cao Cao's closest clan brother!

Not to mention Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu...

These officials from the Shangshutai have a close relationship with him.

There are countless generals in Cao's camp who are involved with him!

And Hanting...

How sensitive is the position of the prince of the Cao family? The support of the Hanting is also crucial, and the Hanting princess will soon become his wife of Lu Yu.

There is also the Imperial Academy, the leader of scholars in the world!

There is also the Forging Shop, the leader of the world's craftsmen!

There is also the Medical Department and the title of Medical Immortal. This is the leader of doctors in the world and the beacon in the hearts of patients with typhoid fever who have been rescued!

Even the Han Dynasty's financial power is in his hands!

Once he gets his support, it will be smooth and smooth on the issue of money and food!

It is no exaggeration to say that in Liu Zhen's opinion, if Lu Yu's surname is not Lu, Cao, or Xiahou, he would be sure to be the prince.

Of course, this assumption does not exist. Then, if the second prince Cao Pi wants to compete for the crown prince, the first thing he needs to win is his support.

Cao Pi and Liu Zhen knew this very well.

"Brother, who is the second person's help?"

Cao Pi couldn't help but continue asking.

Liu Zhen's eyes narrowed for a moment, "I'm one of my old friends. If you want to accomplish great things, your help is bound to be yours!"

"How is this talent compared to a businessman?"

Cao Pi continued to ask.

"Ten times better than me!" Liu Zhen whispered. "As smart as Mr. Cao Chong, I'm afraid I'm sure I can't beat him!"
