    "Prime Minister, in addition to the two points mentioned by my subordinates, there are two other benefits." Sima Yi continued.

    "oh?"

    After hearing what Sima Yi said just now, Cao Cao felt much less angry. When he heard Sima Yi said there were two more benefits, he became curious and urged: "Tell me quickly."

    "The third point is that although Liu Bei asked the Prime Minister to hand over Xiangyang, he did not say that he wanted other cities. According to my subordinates, Xiangyang can be handed over to Liu Bei, but Fancheng must be firmly held in his hands. In this way, in the future, Xiangyang can be handed over to Liu Bei.  Even if we want to attack Xiangyang, we only need to cross the river from Fancheng to attack it."

    Fancheng is located in the north of Xiangyang, across the river from Fancheng.

    In the past, when Liu Biao was still here, because Xiangyang did not have much threat from foreign enemies, he still regarded Fancheng as his northern barrier.

    Before Cao Cao went south, Liu Bei used a trick to capture Fancheng against Cao Ren and persuaded Liu Biao to hand it over to Liu Bei.

    But it didn¡¯t take long before Liu Biao regretted it and tried every possible means to get it back. As a result, the rift between the two became wider and wider. In the end, when Liu Bei was chased away by Cao Cao, no one under Liu Biao agreed to send troops to rescue Liu Bei.  From this, we can see the importance of Fancheng, which made Liu Biao not hesitate to turn against Liu Bei.

    After listening to Sima Yi¡¯s words, Cao Cao¡¯s eyes sparkled.

    Xiangyang was given to Liu Bei, as long as Fancheng was in his hands.  So for Liu Bei, Fancheng's existence is like a knife pointed at him all the time.

    Cao Cao was even thinking about how to rebuild Fancheng and strengthen it.

    Hold the grass!  What am I doing?  Cao Cao immediately woke up and said, "I haven't planned to hand over Xiangyang to Liu Bei yet. Why should I consider such a thing?"

    He quickly strangled the thought of handing over Xiangyang to death, and then slowly asked, "What about the fourth point?"

    "fourth point."

    A strange light flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, and he slowly uttered two words: "Yizhou."

    "Yizhou?" Cao Cao was slightly stunned, not understanding what Sima Yi said.

    "If Liu Bei owns Xiangyang and he wants to expand, there is only one place that can satisfy him." Sima Yi said.

    "Yizhou?" Cao Cao understood a little bit at this time.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off off the top  Even if Liu Bei now has a firm foothold and can obtain the three counties of Jingzhou, his strength is undoubtedly the weakest in the world.

    Even Gongsun Zan, who only had one county, was stronger than him. After all, Gongsun Zan had been operating in Guangling for many years and had a deep foundation.

    Having gained a firm foothold, Liu Bei had no choice but to expand if he wanted to increase his strength.

    But to the north is Cao Cao's place, and to the east is Sun Quan's place. Both Sun Quan and Cao Cao are far more powerful than Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei is not crazy, he will not take the initiative to cause trouble.

    As for going south, there is Jiaozhou, but the mountains there are high and the emperor is far away, the population is not large, and the road is difficult to travel. Liu Bei will not develop southward unless he has no choice.

    There is only one last place left, and that is Yizhou in the west, under the rule of Liu Zhang, who is also a member of the Han clan.

    Although Liu Zhang is sitting in Yizhou, the world has long heard about Liu Zhang's weakness, and Liu Bei will definitely pick this weak persimmon.

    "But Cao Cao was very unhappy. Why should I give Xiangyang to Liu Bei and let Liu Bei go to Yizhou? Can't I go myself?"

    "Huh, even an orphan from Yizhou can take it." Cao Cao snorted coldly.

    "Prime Minister, the road in Yizhou is rugged and difficult to travel. If you want to conquer Yizhou, it won't take more than a year and a half." Sima Yi said tactfully.

    "You have been to Jingzhou for less than a year, and there has been trouble in Xudu. If you had been to Yizhou for a year or two, would you still want to go to Yizhou?"

    Hearing Sima Yi¡¯s words, Cao Cao also reacted and his face darkened.

    "You can send your generals there." Cao Cao continued to snort, refusing to admit defeat.  I can't go myself, but that doesn't mean my men can't go.

    "Prime Minister, if we capture Yizhou, I'm afraid we will have to confront the Taiwei." Sima Yi said.

    "What do you mean?" Cao Cao's expression changed. He was most afraid of Liu Zhe.

    "Will Liu Zhe send troops to rescue Liu Zhang?" Cao Cao asked.

    Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Hanzhong."

    As soon as he heard Hanzhong, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched and he understood.

    If Fancheng is Xiangyang¡¯s barrier, then Hanzhong is Yizhou¡¯s barrier.

    Hanzhong is condescending and can easily attack Yizhou.  On the other hand, it is more difficult for Yizhou to capture Hanzhong. The mountain roads are rugged and it is a hundred times more difficult to attack from bottom to top.

    Although Hanzhong was occupied, it would definitely be very uncomfortable for Yizhou in the hands of others.  It's as if someone is holding a knife to you at any time, and you won't be able to sleep peacefully.

    Cao Cao believed that if he captured Yizhou, he would not tolerate Hanzhong in the hands of others, and he would definitely send troops to take it back.

    But the problem is that Hanzhong is now in Liu Zhe¡¯s hands.

    Cao Cao knows his own strength and is temporarily unable to fight against Liu Zhe. Once he confronts Liu Zhe, he is most afraid that it will turn into a full-scale confrontation, and he will definitely lose in the end.

    "Damn it!" Cao Cao couldn't help but exploded.

    After thinking about it, everything was caused by Liu Zhe.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
