"No!"

Before Cao Pi finished speaking, Pang Tong refused, and was straightforward and neat, as if he was not allowed to do anything.

"The prince is really worthy of being a wealthy family. He is so bold that he cuts half of it at every turn, but he still wants our master to cash in full. Has there ever been such a covenant in the world? What's the reason?"

Pang Tong was indeed really angry. When he spoke, his eyes were open, his cheeks were slightly red. Before he finished speaking, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves invisibly, and he was quite as if he was competing with Cao Pi. However, he was a literati who was well-read in history. He suppressed his anger, suppressed his hot temper, and walked in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, showing that he had reached the verge of going wild. If Cao Pi added more fire and stimulated him for a while, he would most likely turn around and leave, ending this negotiation that was related to the future and destiny of the two major vassal states.

Indeed, Cao Pi bargained too hard. He said that he had lost ten thousand war horses and cavalry equipment in just half a sentence. This bargaining method is amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a bloody throat. Not to mention that Pang Tong couldn't stand it, if anyone else was afraid that he would turn his back on the spot, and he had never seen such negotiations. These were tens of thousands of war horses and cavalry equipment, not carrots, cabbage, or street stalls everywhere. He could not speak nonsense and cut whatever he wanted.

Furthermore, this is a letter of nationality written by Liu Biao, the only orthodox emperor in the world, and the two countries' alliance was submitted in the form of an edict. Either they would not sign, and everyone would split up; if they wanted to sign, they had to follow the rules. Some increase or decrease was not harmful, and if they were to be cut in half, they would not open their mouths as soon as possible, so as not to defile the value of the letter of nationality.

Seeing that Pang Tong was really anxious, Cao Pi's expression changed in an uproar. A string of sweat beads as big as rice grains overflowed on his forehead, his breath became thicker, his nose wings slightly swelled, and two pieces of flush appeared on his cheeks. This guy had asthma, but he was hiding it so tightly. Apart from bringing him to his old close servant since he was a child, even Cao Cao didn't know. As long as he was nervous, he would sweat on his forehead, breathe heavily, and his cheeks would flush. If he listened closely, he could also hear the lung rales in his chest, which were like bubbles.

It is obvious that Cao Pi was frightened by Pang Tong's fierce actions, and was worried that Pang Tong would leave in anger. If this is the case, Cao Pi would not be able to complete the mission delivered by Cao Cao, and the consequences of not being able to complete the mission were too serious, so serious that he could not accept it at all. This was his first negotiation with Southern Han on behalf of his father Cao Cao. It was of great significance and directly related to whether he could win his father's respect and trust. Then he decided to the ownership of the prince of Wei. So he wanted to show himself, fight for the interests of Wei as much as possible, do things beautifully, and let Cao Cao look at him differently. Then he entrusted important tasks to confirm his status and identity as the heir of Wei.

Cao Pi is eighteen years old and is the only son among Cao Cao's many children who can share his worries. He is also the first son of his eldest son Cao Ang after his death. However, Cao Pi has many younger brothers, and most of them are about the same age as him. For example, his third brother Cao Zhang has also become an official and is extremely brave. He is deeply loved by Cao Cao and is currently in the military. His fourth brother Cao Zhi became famous at a young age and is good at chanting poetry and writing essays. His poetry and essays are amazing and talented. The civil officials in the court highly praised him. Therefore, as the elder brother, Cao Pi felt very stressed early on, and his martial arts are not as good as Cao Zhang, and his literary talent is not as good as Cao Zhi. The only thing that can be compared with his brothers is that he looks honest, but is very scheming, and is calm and vicious. So, when his younger brothers were still confused, he had already begun to plan his own team.

This time, following the delegation to Chang'an was a great opportunity for Cao Pi to make achievements. As long as the matter was done, it meant that he would be one step ahead of his younger brothers and one step closer to the position of the prince of Wei. Then, just use the power in his hands and seize the opportunity, he could quickly form his own team and lay a solid foundation for inheriting the throne in the future.

However, what he never expected was that Pang Tong, who looked like a good old man, had a hot temper. He was furious when he didn't say anything, and he was quite tempted to turn his head and leave. If it were other things, if Pang Tong liked to leave, he would not care at all. However, this alliance with the Southern Han Dynasty was a major event that Cao Cao repeatedly advised, and it was related to the rise and fall of the Wei State. It was only allowed to succeed and not fail.

In other words, Cao Cao meant that he had to reach an alliance, form an alliance with the Southern Han, and urged the Southern Han to send troops as soon as possible, and it would be best to lead the way to attack the Western Liang army. Only in this way can the Wei Kingdom gain the initiative and occupy a favorable position in the upcoming melee of the Three Kingdoms, so that the Wei Kingdom could increase his chances of winning, at least he could escape unify the world without any hesitation, and accumulate strength for the future unification of the world.

Therefore, Pang Tong's upcoming appearance really scared Cao Pi, which scared him out of breath, his face flushed, and his asthma attacks. In his opinion, Pang Tong was just a minister under Liu Biao's account. If the matter was done, he could leave and change to other princes. But what should he do if Cao Pi? He is Cao Cao's son. Can he still vote for other princes?

"Cough cough cough!" Covering his mouth and coughed a few times, Cao Pi stood up and walked to Pang Tong, bowed and said apologetically: "Sir, please sit down and talk. After all, you and I are in the enemy camp at this moment, so we should be careful in everything. I am young and energetic and young, and I will inevitably make mistakes in a hurry. However, Mr. is a famous scholar of the world, and the name of Feng Chu has long been famous throughout the country. No one knows anyone. Therefore, because Mr. is elegant and generous, he must not be as knowledgeable as Pi. Please take care of the rudeness of his rudeness." While speaking, Cao Pi helped Pang Tong sit down, and he himself did not sit opposite Pang Tong, but sat down next to Pang Tong.

After a pause, Cao Pi took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then continued: "Sir, think what I said just now is inappropriate, just say it directly, can you and I discuss it again? Don't get angry. So, I will take back what I said just now, and please be fair. Is the covenant formulated by the Southern Han Dynasty a little too much compared to the covenant of our Wei Kingdom? Mr. is a wise man of the age, and I will not deceive me." Another move to retreat as an advance, take back all means, and use his spear to attack his shield. This is the best strategy, at least leaving room for reversal and not going to a dead end again.

"Oh? Ziheng is so calculating. Is it better to compliment me and then let me self-destruct his shortcomings?" Pang Tong pondered, and then exclaimed sincerely: "Ziheng is young, but meticulous, polite and wise, and is extremely wise. He is actually the first young man to be young at the age of twentieth who made me Pang Tong look at me with admiration! I am bluntly, Ziheng's scheming and deep cunning are even better than Ling Zun. It can be said that his youth is better than his blue." This praise made Cao Pi very useful, and his silly smile appeared on his face. This time he was really stupid, which was completely different from the previous silly smile.

Unfortunately, he was too happy. But when Pang Tong paused, he immediately changed his mind and said with a smile: "However, Ling Zun is a master of the world who is both civil and military, and is also the only lord overlord who has defeated Li Li of Xiliang today. His civil and military skills are comparable to Li Li of Xiliang. Although I only met Ziheng, I am sure that you are far inferior to your father in commanding troops and fighting on the battlefield, and you have not even learned half of his ability. You put all your thoughts on figuring out others and are good at scheming, so you are good at interacting with others, and you can be at ease no matter who you are. In this section, even Pang is willing to give up the disadvantage and feel ashamed of himself.

But Pang advised him that now it is a chaotic world, and the world is divided into three parts. If you want to achieve the hegemony of the emperor, you must make contributions on the battlefield. Only in this way can your foundation be solid; on the contrary, it is destined to be unable to last long." This was a bit too much, and the words were spoken in a very deep way, which was not done by wise people. But this is exactly Pang Tong's unique hobby. He likes to evaluate people, play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and give people encouragement. This evaluation of Cao Pi this time is a little different from his past. Telling all his strengths and weaknesses is undoubtedly an offense, which is very unwise. Fortunately, Pang Tong and Cao Pi belong to two camps, have no interest relations with each other, and are not subordinate to each other. In addition, Cao Pi has just gotten angry with him, so he commented on Cao Pi without any hesitation, which is quite meaningful to preach in person.

Surprisingly, Cao Pi was not angry after hearing the words, but instead bowed to Pang Tong respectfully: "Mr.'s words are deafening. Pi has received his teachings. Thank you for your teachings." Pang Tong turned sideways to avoid Cao Pi's bowing, and his eyes looked at Cao Pi more sharply, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

After saluting, Cao Pi slowly sat down, turned his head to look at the moonlight, and said in a low tone: "It's getting late, you and I have little talk and come back to the covenant. Now can you tell me bluntly, can the conditions on the covenant really not be changed?"

Pang Tong nodded when he heard the sound and said without hesitation: "That's right. This is written by my emperor and it is related to the rise and fall of the Southern Han Dynasty. How can it be changed?"

"Since that's the case, we won't change it, but sir needs to agree to me two conditions." Cao Pi continued.

Pang Tong looked surprised and said in surprise: "There are additional conditions, what if I don't agree?"

Cao Pi said firmly: "If Mr. refuses to agree, the alliance will be appointed. When I go back, I will only apologize to my father. Since Mr., since he knows my father, he should know that his father's history is the only one. Even without the help of the Jingzhou army, he can still deal with the Xiliang army to the end and not be afraid of the Xiliang army. Instead, the Jingzhou army should be more careful. The Li thief is full of tricks and is very good at using troops. He also has many generals under his command, his advisers are like rain, and there are hundreds of thousands of Western Liang cavalry. I dare to assert that if there is no help from the Wei State, the Southern Han will be destroyed by the Li thief, and it will definitely perish before the defeat of our Wei State." Since he is not optimistic, Cao Pi does not have to worry about his words, his words are very straightforward and does not care about Pang Tong's face at all.

After hearing this, Pang Tong's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "The Prince of Wei really has an extraordinary vision. Pang has received teachings. Let's say what conditions are there, and if you can, you can talk, and if you can't talk, you will give up."
