Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"Does Ziyu mean that the Bian family intends to support his son and compete for the throne of Wei?"

Old Liu heard this meaning from Deng Mu's words.

"As everyone knows, Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao, and he was also appointed by Cao Cao as the heir apparent of the King of Wei."

"But as far as Mu knew, Cao Ang was originally born to Cao Cao's concubine Liu. Although he was the eldest son, he was not the legitimate son, let alone the legitimate eldest son."

"Cao Ang became his legitimate son because Cao Cao's wife, Ding, had no children. After Liu died of illness, she adopted Cao Ang."

"In this way, the son is more valuable than the mother, and Cao Ang becomes the eldest son of the Cao family."

"Therefore, Cao Ang was able to be established as the crown prince, largely because of the status of Ding's wife, rather than his status as the eldest son."

Deng Mu revealed Cao Ang's life experience like a treasure trove of family treasures.

"As for the Bian family and the Liu family, their status as concubines is below the Ding family."

"This also means that before Cao Ang was adopted by the Ding family, his status was the same as that of Cao Pi and other Bian family members. They were all concubines."

"Cao Ang is just the eldest son of a concubine."

"If the Bian family is Cao Cao's first wife, even if Cao Ang is older than Cao Pi, according to the order of succession, his status will be lower than that of Cao Pi."

"In that case, Cao Pi would be more qualified to be established as the Crown Prince of Wei."

After some analysis, Deng Mu continued:

"Looking at it this way, would Mrs. Bian be willing to let a person who is a common son like her son step on her son's head and be made the prince by Cao Cao just because he was lucky enough to be adopted by his wife?"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he suddenly realized it.

If Cao Ang was born as the eldest son and destined to be the crown prince of Cao Wei, Bian would naturally be convinced and there would be nothing to argue about.

But Cao Ang is not the case!

Bian would think, you are Cao Ang's. My mother and I were just lowly concubines.

Why are you so lucky that you can be the crown prince of Cao and Wei just because Ding adopted him?

You can be the crown prince, why can’t my son?

Everyone is. As a concubine, no one is more noble than anyone else. Why should you be the King of Wei in the future and my son can only be your minister?

"Well, what Zi Yu said makes sense."

"From this point of view, it is not surprising that Bian is indeed dissatisfied and wants to support his son in fighting for the throne."

Liu Bei stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing with Deng Mu's judgment.

At this time,

Zhuge Liang reminded him:

"As far as the disciples know, the Bian family has not only one son, Cao Pi, but also two sons, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang."

"I heard that Cao Zhi was talented in literature and Cao Zhang was superb in martial arts. They were both very popular with Cao Cao."

"Compared with Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, Cao Pi's talents seem a bit mediocre."

"If the Bian family wanted to support their sons in fighting for the throne, they could support Cao Zhi or Cao Zhang. Why would they have to betray Cao Cao in exchange for Cao Pi?"

Zhuge Liang's words reminded Liu Bei, and his eyes suddenly became suspicious again, and he turned back to look at Deng Mu.

"Cao Zhi is indeed an amazing literary talent, but he is frivolous and indulgent."

"As for Cao Zhang, although his martial arts are superb, he is no more than a general and has no strategy for the city."

"With Cao Cao's wisdom, how could he not see that both Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang are not worthy of their responsibilities and are not the talents of kings?"

"Although Cao Pi was inferior to Cao Zhi in writing and inferior to Cao Zhang in martial arts, he was the most powerful among the scholars."

"For kings, strategy is obviously more important than literary talent and martial arts."

"From Bian's point of view, it can be seen that among his three sons, only Cao Pi has a chance to compete with Cao Ang for the position of the heir apparent of Cao Wei!"

Deng Mu revealed Cao Pi's advantage.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's suspicions were all cleared up at this time, and the two officials suddenly understood

"Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister knew the Bian family and Cao Cao's sons so well!"

Liu Bei clicked his tongue in admiration, with no doubt in his eyes.

So he waved his hands happily:

"Okay, according to the plan of the Prime Minister, quickly send a secret message to Yecheng to see the Bian family!"

…

Ten days later.

Yecheng Palace, a secret room.

Mrs. Bian frowned deeply and studied the letter written by Cao Pi in her hand.

Her hands were shaking slightly, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Pi'er, I still hope to see Pi'er~~"

Mrs. Bian's voice was hoarse as she revealed the reason for her excitement.

After Cao Pi was captured in the battle of Shangcai two years ago, Mrs. Bian was greatly shocked.

Later, after many inquiries, Mrs. Bian finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Liu Bei had not killed Cao Pi, but had only imprisoned him.

But thinking that Cao and Liu were in the same boat, even if Liu Bei didn't kill Cao Pi, he might never be alive to see his son again.

So Mrs. Bian was depressed for two years.

Who had been there? Yesterday Liu Bei's envoy arrived in Yecheng secretly and handed her this autographed letter from Cao Pi.

In the letter, Cao Pi reported to Mrs. Bian that he was safe, and asked Mrs. Bian to reveal to Liu Bei the secrets of Cao Cao's sentry deployment on the Suiyang front line.

In return, Liu Bei would release him and return him to Wei.

How could Mrs. Bian not cry with joy when she thought that her son, whom she thought she would never see again in this life, could come back to her alive?

"Chen Qing, Wu Qing, and Liu Bei, do you think I should agree to this condition?"

Mrs. Bian showed Cao Pi's handwriting to Chen Qun and Wu Zhi. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

These two people are Cao Pi's friends, and they are also Mrs. Bian's confidants in Wei Guozhong.

"'Of course I have to agree, this is the only chance for the second young master to come back alive!"

Wu Zhi said without hesitation.

After Chen Qun hesitated for a moment, he cupped his hands and said:

"Let’s not talk about whether Liu Bei will keep his promise and release the second son as promised."

"Even if Liu Bei keeps his word, this sentry defense is a military secret and is related to the safety of my 150,000 troops!"

"Speaking more broadly, it is also related to the success or failure of the king's dominance in the world."

"Does the madam really want to save the second young master and put the lives of the frontline soldiers and the king's hegemony at risk?"

Mrs. Bian was already interested in getting back Cao Pi, so she asked the two of them just to make herself feel more at ease.

When Chen Qun asked, Mrs. Bian trembled and fell into silence..She hesitated

"What Brother Chen said is too serious, right?"

"Although the secrets are secrets, even if the big-eared thieves get these secrets, they may not pose a fatal threat to our army. (The king is good))"

"As for the hegemony that you said affects the king's unification of the world, that is even more exaggerated."

Wu Zhi said disapprovingly.[]

Chen Qun looked solemn and said seriously:

"Liu Bei had 150,000 soldiers at his disposal, and he also had sage-level counselors like Deng Mu."

"If he gets this secret, no one can guarantee that Deng Mu will use this secret to offer Liu Bei some tricks!"

"Brother Wu, can you guarantee the risks involved?"

Wu Zhi was speechless when asked and had to look at Mrs. Bian.

At this time, Mrs. Bian could only make the decision. Mrs. Bian stood up and walked in the secret room. She did not make any move for a long time. Shengzi.

After a long time, she suddenly stopped. The hesitation in her eyes was gone, only Yu Sen was cold and determined.

"If my son cannot be the crown prince of Wei, even if he rules the world and conquers thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, it will mean nothing to me!"

"I agree to Liu Bei's conditions!".
