For several days, the Chu army kept shouting and cursing outside the Wei army's camp. Cao Pi ignored this and ordered the entire army many times not to fight.
This situation did not change until the third day.
"call out!"
"jump!"
Arrows were shot one after another, with strips of cloth tied to the arrows.
The Wei soldiers stepped forward and took off the feather arrows to inspect, unfolded the cloth strip, and there were two lines of words written on it: The emperor pretended to be sick, and the blood edict is to get rid of the thieves! Cao Cao is dead, you will come down quickly!
Li Dian, who was patrolling the camp, took a look and immediately yelled, "Everyone, listen! Don't look! Collect these arrows and burn them immediately!"
"promise."
"General!"
A soldier came over and saluted Li Dian, holding a piece of cloth in his hand.
Li Dian took it and looked at it, he almost couldn't stand still. It was a blood edict, written on it was Liu Xie's edict to eliminate thieves, as well as the big seal engraved with the square jade seal!
"You guys watch here, I'll report it to the Crown Prince."
"promise."
In the past few days, Cao Pi grew up a lot, and gradually accepted the military life outside where Chu soldiers and soldiers yelled and scolded him every day.
Cao Pi was writing something on the desk, "Well, let's issue this military order. The soldiers are uncomfortable holding it back in the camp, so let's give them a half-day holiday."

Dong Zhao and Chen Jiao looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are benevolent and righteous."
Cao Pi smiled briskly, "How can I be benevolent and righteous? Compared with my father, I am far worse."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Li Dian stumbled into the tent, "Your Majesty, it's not good!"
Cao Pi frowned and said, "General Li, don't worry, what happened?"
Li Dian did not speak, but stepped forward and placed several wads of cloth in his hand on the table in front of Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty, it's better to see for yourself."
Cao Pi picked up a piece of cloth and looked at it doubtfully. He quickly put it down and then picked up another piece. Until he saw the blood edict, Cao Pi could no longer calm down.
His eyes widened, "No...impossible...Father, my father is invincible, how could he..."
"Ahem..."

Jia Xu coughed twice, and Cao Pi stopped being so panicked. He stared at Li Dian and asked, "General Li, how many people in the army have seen these banners?"
Li Dian reluctantly held up his hands and said, "The general has ordered that the whole army is not allowed to watch, but before the general gave the order, many people still watched it."
"Well done General."
"Oh, that's not good."
As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, Jia Xu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if the soldiers are allowed to watch, we can still say that this is a trick of the Chu army. Now if we ban it, we will not be able to stop those messages. The soldiers will think that we are serious."
I feel guilty. And it’s true that they haven’t seen Jun Shang for many days.”
Li Dian was very anxious after hearing this, "What should I do? Is it possible that I can go out and give orders to let them see enough?"
Jia Xu rolled his eyes at him, "First calm the soldiers, and then make plans."
"I'll go right away."
Li Dian left, and everyone who stayed in the tent also circulated and read the blood edict and the cloth strips.
Dong Zhao was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, this must be a trick of the Chu army. Your Majesty has dominated the world for many years, and many princes have been defeated by your Majesty. I have never seen anyone who can scheme against him."

"How could the puppet trapped in the palace plot against you?"
Chen Jiao and Dong Zhao had different views, "Your Majesty, no matter what, you must first determine the situation in Xudu. Your Majesty is not here, and the soldiers have their own thoughts. If something happens again, it will be really troublesome."
"
Cao Pi nodded in agreement, "Then according to your opinions, should we withdraw our troops now?"
To be honest, Cao Pi wanted to leave, even though he had vowed a few days ago that he would persist until Cao Cao came back. But now he was afraid, he was afraid that something would really happen to Cao Cao.
If he goes back later and something happens in the rear, Cao will really die without a burial place.
"this?……"
Hearing Cao Pi's words, the two of them choked on their words. How could they dare to make the decision on such a big matter?
"You must not retreat, Your Majesty, if you retreat now, our hundreds of thousands of troops will be in vain!"
At the critical moment, Yang Xiu shouted out.
Cao Pi stared at him and asked, "What does Chief Yang mean? There are changes in the rear and the army's morale is unstable, so it doesn't matter if the battle is defeated?"

Yang Xiu's idea was very simple. Neither Cao Pi nor Cao Zhang was in the north. If something happened to Cao Cao, only Cao Zhi in Yecheng would be left to clean up the mess.
As for the defeat of Huainan, it doesn't matter. No matter how powerful the Chu State is, it is impossible for them to annex all the Cao family's territories at once.
It would be better for Cao Pi and Cao Zhang to die in Huainan. Hundreds of thousands of troops will wish themselves well. Cao Zhi ranks fourth. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Cao Zhi!
Yang Xiu didn't say anything else, he just cupped his hands to Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty, please think again!"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
There were many people who did not agree to withdraw the troops, and they all agreed with Yang Xiu.
Cao Pi was a little embarrassed. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "What do you think, sir?"
Just by catching Cao Pi's gaze, Jia Xu understood Cao Pi's thoughts, "The morale of the army is turbulent, and there may be changes in the rear. It is best to retreat."
Jia Xu actually had the same idea as Dong Zhao. With Cao Cao's shrewd character, how could he be plotted by Liu Xie?
But at this time, he could only say this, if he didn't retreat, Cao Cao and Cao Pi would be dissatisfied with him afterwards.

Cao Pi was worried that something would happen to Cao Cao. He was even more worried that he would be defeated and captured. He was even more worried that Cao Zhi would take the opportunity to ascend to the throne in his absence!
"Retreat? Impossible, I will never agree to retreat!"
"Brother Ziwen, put your clothes on first!"
Outside the camp, Cao Zhang's shouts were heard, as well as Xia Houshang's shouts of eager pursuit.
Cao Zhang broke into the tent, his face was red, he had obviously just drank wine, and he was not even dressed properly. To be precise, he didn't wear much clothes at all, his chest was bare, and only a robe covered his finely dressed body.
.
"Second brother, who just said he was going to retreat? I'll kill him!"
After drinking, Cao Zhang became even more arrogant and did not care that the people present were all Cao Cao's important officials.
Cao Pi glared at him and said, "Ziwen, don't talk nonsense. The people here are our elders. You must not be rude!"
Cao Zhang went straight to Cao Pi and said, "Second brother, we finally raised our troops to go south and crossed the Huaihe River with great difficulty. Now we have just established a foothold in Huainan. How can we retreat?"
Facing this overbearing younger brother, Cao Pi was quite helpless, "Ziwen, don't be anxious first, aren't we discussing this with everyone?"

Yang Xiu seemed to be unafraid of serious trouble, and said angrily to Cao Zhang, "Third Young Master, none of us want to retreat, but some people do. You know, the prince just executed an official who wanted to disrupt the morale of the army a few days ago.
Now, someone actually dares to openly disobey the Crown Prince’s military orders!”
After hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Yang Xiu with squinted eyes, and finally closed his eyes without saying anything else.
Cao Zhang was anxious, "Second brother, tell me who wants to retreat?"
"Bang!"
Cao Pi slapped the table hard, "It's me!"
"Do you want to kill me as well?"
