At that time, Cao Cao withdrew from Jingzhou, just to let Liu Bei know that Cao Cao had the intention to form an alliance. At that time, the alliance had not yet been formally formed.
Even Cao Cao's support for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to be crowned kings in the future was out of the intention of forming an alliance in the future.
As for the delay in forming a formal alliance, it is because the time has not yet matured.
Of course, Liu Bei and Sun Quan also knew what Cao Cao wanted to form an alliance. They had no objections. After all, there were many benefits to forming an alliance with Cao Cao.
The question raised by Deng Zhixu is telling Cao Cao that if Cao Cao does not send troops to help and reduce Liu Bei's pressure, once Liu Bei loses Yizhou, Liu Bei will not form an alliance with Cao Cao in the future.
The proposal to form an alliance was proposed by Sima Yi. Naturally, Cao Cao wanted to ask Sima Yi for his opinion on what to do now.
Facing Cao Cao¡¯s questioning gaze, Sima Yi understood very well that the reason why Cao Cao kept rejecting Deng Zhi and refused to send troops was because Cao Cao was not prepared and had no intention of provoking Liu Zhe at this time.
Although Liu Zhe went to Hanzhong to engage Liu Bei in Yizhou, Cao Cao believed that Liu Zhe would not go to Yizhou directly. He must have made arrangements.
Cao Cao doesn¡¯t want to provoke Liu Zhe now, but he also doesn¡¯t want to disappoint Liu Bei and make it difficult to form an alliance in the future.
Faced with this problem, Sima Yi could only speak out and said, "King Wei, why don't we discuss it for a while and then reply to the envoy?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao was very satisfied with Sima Yi's proposal. He said to Deng Zhi, "Since you came the same way, sir, you might as well rest for a few days and let me discuss it with my ministers before making a decision."
After hearing this, Deng Zhi felt reluctant, but this result was currently the best result for him.
At least there is hope. As long as Cao Cao decides to send troops after discussing with his men, he will undoubtedly be able to achieve the purpose of Deng Zhi coming here.
It¡¯s better than rejecting his request now and sending him home.
"Then I'll take my leave first," Deng Zhi said.
"Here come, sir!"
Cao Cao ordered people to lead Deng Zhi down.
After Deng Zhi left, Cao Cao looked around and asked his ministers and generals calmly, "My dear friends, what do you think?"
"King Wei, I feel that we should not send troops."
Yang Xiu was the first to speak out. He said, "Now King Liu Zhe of Yan has gone to Yizhou. Although he is no longer in Youzhou, it does not mean that his troops are no longer in Youzhou."
"If the King of Wei sends troops, although it can help the King of Chu Liu Bei reduce the pressure, it will undoubtedly offend the King of Yan Liu Zhe. Once the King of Yan Liu Zhe does not get any benefits in Yizhou, then he will definitely take advantage of our Wei State. Take advantage.¡±
Yang Xiu¡¯s words made Cao Cao¡¯s heart skip a beat. Liu Zhe¡¯s advantage was no small advantage.
Once Liu Zhe wants to take advantage of himself, he should be prepared to bleed.
It¡¯s not like Cao Cao hasn¡¯t tried it before.
Yang Xiu¡¯s words made many ministers and generals present nod in agreement.
These people have personally experienced Liu Zhe's power, and in their hearts they are actually afraid of Liu Zhe.
For them, it is of course best not to provoke Liu Zhe.
Seeing many people nodding in agreement with his words, Yang Xiu felt satisfied.
For Yang Xiu, beating Liu Zhe is a must, but not now.
Now Cao Cao should recuperate and increase his strength. Only when he is strong enough can he fight Liu Zhe, otherwise he will definitely lose.
At the same time, it is even more impossible to provoke Liu Zhe now for the sake of Liu Bei and undermine Cao Cao's current strategy.
"If you refuse to save the King of Chu, how can you win the trust of the King of Chu in the future? Or even the King of Wu?"
Sima Yi frowned and expressed a different opinion.
For Sima Yi, he believed that it was difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Liu Zhe alone. If he wanted to defeat Liu Zhe, he must unite powerful princes and kings like Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Only when everyone unites can they have a chance.
"Winning the trust of the King of Chu and the King of Wu?"
When Yang Xiu saw that it was Sima Yi who spoke out, he immediately became dissatisfied and said, "What do you think we can do by sending troops now to help King Liu Bei of Chu? In addition to getting the anger of King Liu Zhe of Yan, what else can we get?"
idiot!
Sima Yi couldn't help but look at Yang Xiu like an idiot.
Sima Yi knew that sending troops now would arouse Liu Zhe's anger, but for Liu Bei, it was like nectar from heaven, which would definitely make Liu Bei feel???If Cao Cao needs to form an alliance with Liu Bei in the future, Liu Bei will definitely not hesitate too much.
Sima Yi despised Yang Xiu from the bottom of his heart and hated Yang Xiu.
Of course, I hate Yang Xiu because Yang Xiu is always arrogant and arrogant, and often targets him.
Yang Xiukong has a smart mind, but his political awareness is pitifully low.
This is also the reason why Sima Yi looks down on Yang Xiu. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
