But Sima Yi was not afraid. Although Yang Xiu had been targeting him, everyone had similar official positions. There was no one who was subordinate to whom. He didn't have to look at Yang Xiu's face to live his life.
Therefore, he responded unceremoniously: "Now that you have the opportunity to take advantage of them, why not give it a try?"
Yang Xiu¡¯s face was very ugly, and he wanted to say something, but Cao Cao had already spoken out. He agreed with Sima Yi¡¯s opinion, and he said loudly: "Zhongda's words are reasonable."
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Yang Xiu closed his mouth.
He knew how to figure out what he meant. He had been trying to figure out what Cao Cao was thinking. Cao Cao now felt that Sima Yi's method was good. If he objected again, it would only make Cao Cao hate him. Yang Xiu would not do such a thing. .
"King Wei, you have to guard against what Yang Zhubo said."
Kuai Yue also heard what Cao Cao meant from Cao Cao's tone, but he didn't want Liu Bei and Sun Quan to be crowned kings smoothly. He said: "Even if the King of Wei wants to support them in crowning them kings, but they don't have to pay at all, then it's okay." It would be too advantageous for them, and it would also make them feel that King Wei is trying to please them."
"King Wei, Xiandu is right."
Jiang Ji spoke out to support Kuai Yue's opinion, saying: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan must be made to pay a price."
No one objects to this, everyone agrees.
"The King of Wei."
Cheng Yu said: "Yi Ji and Zhang Hong are still in Xudu, it's time to meet them."
Cheng Yu means that Liu Bei and Sun Quan¡¯s envoys are all in Xudu, and they can kill Liu Bei and Sun Quan through their envoys.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Arrange a time for me to meet them."
Before, Cao Cao was too lazy to see them and gave them a shut-in because Cao Cao had not yet decided how to deal with the matter of Liu Bei and Sun Quan being crowned kings.
And now, I have a preliminary idea, so it is time to meet the envoys of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
"What price do you think this king should make Liu Bei and Sun Quan pay?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask again, his tone already relaxed.
Because Cao Cao has the advantage in this matter, as long as it is not too excessive and the price is affordable by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they will definitely agree.
"Liu Bei and Sun Quan should be asked to hand over some cities."
Yang Xiu was the first to speak out. He said: "Let Sun Quan hand over Lujiang and Liu Bei hand over Xiangyang."
idiot.
Sima Yi despised Yang Xiu fiercely.
Yang Xiu¡¯s proposal is simply impossible. Lujiang is an important city north of the Yangtze River controlled by Sun Quan. Without Lujiang, Sun Quan can only retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to play with himself.
The same is true for Xiangyang. Without Xiangyang, Liu Bei could only go to the south of Jingzhou to find Wuxi barbarians.
"Do you have a way to get them to hand over Lujiang and Xiangyang?" Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu.
If Cao Cao is willing to hand over these two cities, let alone the title of king, Cao Cao may agree to other more excessive demands.
Yang Xiu shut up. What could he do? This is the lifeblood of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, so they are not willing to hand it over easily.
"King Wei, you can ask them to hand over some cities and populations bordering them." Cheng Yu suggested.
The city is not very important, the important thing is the population. Only population is the guarantee of strength.
"Yes, we can also ask them to retreat hundreds of miles away. There should not be too many troops on the border between the two sides." Jiang Ji also suggested.
The large armies stationed near the border between the two sides were a great burden to Cao Cao.
If Liu Bei and Sun Quan can be allowed to retreat the army from the border with Cao Cao, it will reduce a lot of burden on Cao Cao. After all, the army stationed at the border consumes a huge amount of food and drink every day.
Reducing the number of garrison troops can reduce pressure on logistics.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Do you have any other suggestions?"
"King Wei, why don't you ask Liu Bei and Sun Quan to pay tribute to you with some grain, grass and money?" Sima Yi suggested.
"Okay, Zhongda's plan is very clever." When Cao Cao heard this, it was exactly what he wanted.
In the previous battle with Liu Zhe, Liu Zhe extorted a lot of food, grass and money from him, which made Cao Cao feel so distressed that he wanted to cry every time he thought about it.
Liu Zhe can blackmail him, then he can also blackmail Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and get back the money that Liu Zhe blackmailed from Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
"Okay, it's settled."
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "I?We must let Liu Bei and Sun Quan know that it is not that easy to become king. "
"I must make them bleed profusely."
"The King of Wei is wise." Everyone present shouted in unison.
At this moment, Cao Hong rushed in from outside.
"King Wei, urgent report from Wancheng!"
"What's up?"
When Cao Cao saw Cao Hong in a hurry, he immediately said displeasedly: "What's the big deal, why do you need to be so alarmed?"
"King Wei, there is an urgent report from Wancheng. Liu Zhe's army has come out of Wuguan to stop Wancheng." Cao Hong said loudly.
"What?"
Cao Cao jumped up again. Anyway, every time there was news about Liu Zhe, his reaction was the same.
"what is going on?"
Cao Cao simply jumped down from the direct position, took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed to Cao Hong as if running, snatched the information from Cao Hong's hand, and then looked at it quickly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
