When He Yan saw Cao Cao, he bowed to him politely, and then stared at Cao Pi with an expression that said, "You are dead."
Cao Pi flinched a little at first, but when he thought of Cao Cao being by his side to support him, he straightened up immediately.
"Yulang, Pi'er said that you and he had a fight in the courtyard today. Is this true?"
He Yan nodded generously and even took the initiative to tell the reason for beating Cao Pi: "Because the kid was really depressed today, so I beat him up."
Cao Pi: "..."
He originally thought that He Yan would tell him that he called He Yan a "fake son".
In that case, although Cao Pi was at fault first, He Yan's beating was wrong.
Unexpectedly, He Yan didn't mention the "fake son" at all, but directly said that he only beat Cao Pi because he was in a bad mood.
This reason will undoubtedly make Cao Cao even more unhappy, but Cao Pi doesn't know why, but he can't be happy...
After hearing this, Cao Cao's blood was indeed boiling, and his face was inexplicably flushed.
"Just because you were in a bad mood, you beat Pi'er?"
"Um."
After asking again, he still got the same answer, which made Cao Cao a little sad.
After all, he regarded He Yan as his own son.
But He Yan uncharacteristically attacked Cao Pi when he was in such a desperate situation, which made Cao Cao wonder if He Yan did not regard him as someone to rely on.
The loneliest time for a person is never when he is alone, but when he is not needed.
At this moment, Cao Cao felt the chill that penetrated into his bones.
However, Cao Cao still may not want to believe it, so he asked more: "Why is that so?"
Regardless of the answer to this question, the relationship between father and son probably ends here.
"Father."
He Yan's small figure stood upright.
"The child is worried about his father's worries, worried about his father's worries!"
"oh?"
One sentence seemed to pique Cao Cao's interest again.
"Yan'er, tell me what I'm worried about?"
He Yan didn't hide it at all, and talked eloquently to Cao Cao: "Although my father is in a high position now and even controls the government, my father's situation is not very good."
"In the past, the emperor joined forces with Dong Cheng and Liu Bei wore secret edicts, putting his father in danger."
"Later, Yuan Shao invaded on a large scale, and Liu Bei resumed rebellion in Xuzhou, causing the Central Plains to fall into war from all sides again."
"In a situation like this, if the slightest mistake is made, one's body will be broken into pieces. How can a child not feel anxious?"
After hearing He Yan's words, Cao Cao felt the frustration he felt just now disappeared.
On the contrary, his eyes were particularly bright at this moment!
"Yu Lang actually has such insight!"
While other children were still reading and having fun, He Yan actually started to care about world affairs!
Especially the look of giving guidance to the country actually reminded Cao Cao of his late old boss He Jin.
"Yan'er, don't worry!"
Cao Cao was very happy after clearing up the misunderstanding. His previous depression was gone, and he even comforted He Yan in turn.
"Back then, Zhang Miao and Lu Bu joined forces to seize Yanzhou from me. When I was in the most critical situation, I only had three cities left. Didn't I still survive?"
At this moment, Cao Cao was extremely domineering: "At that time, I only had three cities, so I wasn't afraid. Now that I have three states, what should I be afraid of!"
He Yan looked at Cao Cao in slight surprise.
The Cao Cao in front of me seems a little different from the Cao Cao in the book?
Cao Cao turned to Cao Pi with a straight face again: "Pier, too! Can you learn from your brother? He is working on state affairs, but you only care about playing in the courtyard! I deserve a beating!"
Cao Pi:???
"I……"
"Father!"
Before Cao Pi could speak, he was interrupted again by He Yan.
"Father, I'm telling you the truth."
"After beating my brother, I suddenly had a flood of ideas and thought of a way to break the situation for my father!"
Cao Cao just smiled slightly and said nothing.
How many counselors did he have at this time?
Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao...
Who among these people is not talented in running the country? Even they can't think of any way to break the situation, let alone He Yan?
Hearing He Yan's words, Cao Cao just thought it was a child's joke.
But Cao Pi seemed to have seized the opportunity and began to attack He Yan: "Since my brother has a plan to break the situation, why don't you quickly offer your words to relieve my father's worries?"
He Yan looked at Cao Pi's impatient look, and couldn't help but feel a bit of contempt in his heart.
Cao Pi, who has not yet experienced the training of the two poisonous men Jia Xu and Sima Yi, seems a bit too naive at this moment.
Even Cao Cao was thinking about turning big things into trivial things. Why are you jumping out of here?
However, given the opportunity to show his holiness in front of this person, He Yan took advantage of the situation and finished the play.
"Of course! Please ask my father to send someone to my room to fetch the papyrus I have there, and let me give you some advice!"
Cao Cao was also in a difficult situation at this moment.
Originally, he thought of forgetting it, but in the end, Cao Pi insisted on causing trouble over nothing.
However, seeing that He Yan was so confident, Cao Cao sent an envoy to the house to bring the things.
When the thing arrived in Cao Cao's hands, his brows gradually furrowed.
At this time, everyone used bamboo slips to record text.
But what He Yan used was straw paper, and as soon as the ink got on it, it would smudge and become very blurry.
In addition, He Yan used simplified Chinese characters when writing, so everything seemed a bit messy.
"Father, please look."
He Yan also blushed when he saw his ugly handwriting, but soon turned a blind eye quite shamelessly.
He spread out some pieces of straw paper and explained to Cao Cao——
"To the north is naturally Yuan Shao, who dominates the four states of Hebei, Bing, You, and Qing."
"He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers at his disposal. Wen Tian Feng, Ju Shue and other wise men, military good looks, and Wen Chou is a mighty general. In addition, he has just wiped out Gongsun Zan and seized the pastures in the north. He has a large number of war horses under his command.
It can be said that it is not strong!"
"Then there is Liu Bei in the east. He himself is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and he was the former Xuzhou Mu. He has deep support among the people in Xuzhou. In addition, he has Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other ten thousand enemies under his command. If left unchecked, it will cause serious trouble.
!”
"As for the other Ma Teng, Han Sui, Liu Biao, Zhang Lu and others, my father must know better than me, and among these princes, Sun Ce from Jiangdong is the most difficult to deal with!"
"Although this is a situation full of crises and facing enemies on all sides, as long as my father has a good grasp of the situation, they will have no time to cause trouble!"
"But before that, please ask father to drive out the rest of the people in the house to avoid being leaked!"
Originally wanting to see He Yan make a fool of himself, Cao Pi, who was fascinated by what he heard now, suddenly became wary.
"Is there anyone else waiting here?"
I looked around, but there was no one in the huge palace.
Soon, Cao Pi came to his senses and shouted to He Yan angrily: "Who are you?"
