    "Liu Zhe killed the entire Wang family?"

    When Cao Cao received the news from the spies, he was shocked. He couldn't believe it. He subconsciously touched his forehead. His recent headache had made touching his forehead a habit.

    But when he came back to his senses and confirmed the news again and again, he couldn't help laughing.

    "Haha, God help me!"

    "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord." Strategists such as Cheng Yu and Jiang Ji also congratulated Cao Cao. They naturally understood the negative impact of Liu Zhe's killing of the entire Wang family, the first family in Bingzhou.

    First, killing the Wang family will make everyone in other big families under Liu Zhe feel in danger and be wary of Liu Zhe. If Cao Cao goes to war with Liu Zhe in the future, he can enlist the help of these people.

    Second, Liu Zhe will create a gap with Wang Yun. When Wang Yun cannot get help from Liu Zhe, Cao Cao will have the opportunity to kick Wang Yun out of the court.

    But Cao Cao was not an ordinary person after all. After he was happy, he realized that although Liu Zhe destroyed the Wang family and other families, the new policy implemented in Bingzhou would help Liu Zhe win over the lower class scholars and recruit a large number of talents.

    In this regard, Cao Cao felt a heavy sense of crisis in his heart.

    Although it is said that after Liu Zhe destroyed Yuan Shao, he acted like he was guarding the four states of Hebei and only wanted to play with himself and not with you.

    But Cao Cao understood that Liu Zhe was cultivating himself.  Especially the incident of merging states made Cao Cao even more convinced that Liu Zhe wanted to rectify his territory, eliminate all unstable factors, and consolidate his rule.

    Once Liu Zhe completes his repairs, he will definitely raise his weapons against the Central Plains. By then, a war between him and Liu Zhe will be absolutely inevitable.

    Although Liu Zhe¡¯s current period of repair is also the best time for Cao Cao to develop his strength.  But Cao Cao was extremely depressed. He could have developed well during this period, but who knew that everything would go wrong.

    His father was killed in Xuzhou, and he wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up Xuzhou under the pretext of avenging his father. As a result, he was targeted by many people. In the end, everything was in vain. Not only did he lose his strength in vain, but his reputation was also damaged.  .

    Yongzhou was pacified, but it was also robbed by others. There were four forces in one state, which made Cao Cao grit his teeth with hatred.

    Compared with Liu Zhe, Cao Cao found that his position was really bad.

    To the north, there is the Yellow River chasm and Liu Zhe, who is his biggest enemy and cannot be provoked for the time being.

    To the south, there are Liu Bei from Yuzhou, Yuan Shu from Shouchun, and to the west there are Zhang Xiu from Wancheng. These three bastards are taking advantage of the situation. If it weren't for them, Xuzhou would have been in his pocket.

    ??To the east, Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou and Liu Zhe of Qingzhou.

    After Cao Cao looked around for a week, he found that he was surrounded on all sides. It was very difficult to break the encirclement.

    And not only that, there are powerful enemies outside, and there is old man Wang Yun inside, who fights for power in the court every day, making his head hurt day by day.

    Cheng Yu frowned after seeing Cao Cao happy for a while, and he knew what Cao Cao was having a headache about.

    But Cheng Yu was a smart man and knew how to be a minister. Although he knew what Cao Cao was worried about, he couldn't be too sharp sometimes, so he asked aloud: "My lord, what's bothering you?"

    Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu and sighed: "Hey, we are in trouble both internally and externally!"

    Those present here are all Cao Cao's confidants, and Cao Cao is not afraid of hiding things from them. He said: "Now there is an old guy like Wang Yun who is against me everywhere, and there are powerful enemies around me outside."

    Cao Cao paused and continued: "Especially now that Liu Zhe is calmly reorganizing his strength in the north, while I am still stuck in internal fighting. How will I fight against Liu Zhe in the future?"

    As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's other staff were silent. Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Zhe's situation was really good.

    Liu Zhe is a man of his word, and no one can compete with him. All his subordinates obey his orders, and his territory is in a very advantageous position, with no strong enemies around him.

    "My lord, why bother?"

    Cao Hong was dissatisfied. When he saw that everyone in the audience was worried, he jumped out and said, "Can a mere old man be able to defeat my sword?"

    Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled bitterly. It would be great if he could kill Wang Yun directly with one sword. Why would there be any need to wait until now?  It is easy to kill Wang Yun, but it is difficult to deal with the consequences afterwards.

    Especially since Cao Cao's reputation has been greatly damaged now. If he kills Wang Yun again, will his reputation still be there?

    "Zilian (Cao Hong's courtesy name), please step back." Cao Cao waved his hand, not prepared to accept this suggestion.

    However, at this moment, Cheng Yu?Suddenly said: "Lord, I think General Zilian is right."

    Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu in surprise. If it was just Cao Hong who made the suggestion, Cao Cao could ignore it, but if even Cheng Yu thought this was feasible, then Cao Cao would have to take it seriously.

    "My lord, the Wang family has been destroyed by Taiwei Liu, and there is no longer any good relationship between Wang Situ and Taiwei Liu. My lord may as well send goodwill to Wang Situ and express his willingness to coexist peacefully with him."

    Speaking of this, Cheng Yu had a sneer on his face, even a hint of cruelty, and said: "However, if Wang Situ is unwilling, my lord might as well cut the knot with a quick knife. We have no time to waste with him. Wang Situ is not a fool.  Liu Zhe destroyed the Wang family and broke with him, and he lost his foreign aid. If he continues to fight with his lord, he will definitely lose."

    "But if Wang Situ is killed, the lord's reputation will be greatly damaged." Jiang Ji frowned slightly at the side.

    Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao: "Lord, it doesn't matter if you lose a little reputation. The key is to get back the time for our development. What's more, Wang Situ is not a fool. Killing him is just the last step."

    After hearing this, Cao Cao finally nodded slowly after a long while.  Awakened by Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao realized that he had been bound by too many things before. This world cannot be obtained by relying on a good reputation.

    "Well, Zi Lian, help me ask Wang Situ to come." Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong in a deep voice.  Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao's expression. He nodded heavily and understood what Cao Cao meant. If Wang Yun refused to come, he would use force to invite him.

    After Cao Hong received the order, he led his people out and went straight to Wang Yun's mansion
