My husband Zhuge Kongming

For thousands of years since human beings developed and multiplied, how to fill their stomachs has been an eternal topic between rulers and the ruled.

Therefore, when Cao Cao asked Sima Yi this question, the latter lamented that if he couldn't go home on time today, he would be hungry and scolded, and he organized some words.

"Your graceful gentleman is a rare talent for the king's assistant."

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi and said slowly, "You and Wen Ruo cherish each other's talents. Some time ago, the Japanese prime minister asked Wen Ruo what he thought of you. Do you know how Wen Ruo responded?"

Sima Yi bowed his head humbly. He didn't know, but he couldn't say bad things.

Cao Cao ignored Sima Yi's reaction and said, "Wen Ruo calls you a peerless talent."

Sima Yi sighed, even if Xun Yu praised him, even if he would sincerely plan for Cao Cao, the situation at this time is a mystery.

Can Cao Cao win?
It's possible, but the chance of winning is small.

The one to the south has a greater chance of winning.

Because of the emergence of iron armor, Liu Bei's combat power began to gradually equal or even surpass that of the north.

If there are really hundreds of millions of kilograms of iron smelted in the south a year, then apart from common items such as soldiers, armor, farm tools, etc., there must be other large iron users. If they really show up, it may cause a lot of turmoil.

The situation in the south cannot be judged by common sense.

"Of course, what you planned just now really proves that Wen Ruo's words are true." Cao Cao continued, "But, why did you refuse on the pretext of illness when I was first recruited?"

Sima Yi: Isn’t this all in the past?
At that time, weren't you aware of how bad your reputation was?Of course, the reputation is not much better now, but it is just a result of strong suppression.

He asked Cao Cao to reset the court meeting and asked Liu Xie to be a director. In fact, he gave the Han Dynasty a face and gave those veterans who were loyal to the Han Dynasty an outlet to vent.

Otherwise, it would be more difficult for this group of people to solve problems secretly.

Of course, if things develop later, Cao Cao may raise the butcher's knife again.

But so what?
Since the birth of human beings and the civilization of the five clans, has humankind ever been cut off?

No.

When someone dies, someone is born.

Even if he really wants to die, at least within the few decades he is alive, what does it have to do with him?
"At that time, I was really feeling unwell, and this is one of the reasons." Sima Yi bent down and held his hands in front of him with great respect. If he couldn't answer this question to Cao Cao's satisfaction, then he was probably not far from death.

Cao Cao nodded, "What about the second one?"

"My wife is pregnant, and I had no intention of becoming an official at that time." Sima Yi then took the initiative to expose his weakness.

Sima Yi had a good understanding of Cao Cao. After all, this man had been in the business for quite some time.

Everything he does has traces to follow, unlike the one in the south. Once his reputation becomes famous, he has the power of a flying dragon in the sky.However, I felt relieved when I thought that there was someone behind the scenes who was pushing the situation.

That person was kind, but the person in front of him was the opposite. Besides being ruthless, he couldn't escape his suspicious character.

Therefore, only by actively exposing one's weaknesses can Cao Cao trust himself more, and only this trust can support him to go further.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. He asked someone to inquire afterward, and the result was the same. Now it was wise for Sima Yi to take the initiative to explain.

"Well, since I, Cao Cao, want to use you, I will ignore the past."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

"Okay, tell me, given the current situation, what else do I need to do?" Cao Cao asked the question again.

Since he took the Prime Minister, he has actually felt that the distance between Xun Yu and him has become farther.In other words, because of the variables in the south, Xun Yu and his goals were different to a certain extent.

But he and Xun Yu couldn't discuss this issue in detail. If they did, it would lead to greater differences between the two parties.

At this stage, Liu Bei is once again playing tricks on people's hearts. Perhaps the biggest impact on him is his relationship with Xun Yu.

Liu Bei kept saying that he was a Han traitor, but he admitted that he was not.

He is good enough for the Liu Han royal family!
Could it be that with all his achievements, he still showed a trace of disrespect to the little emperor?
Is that fair to him?
Of course, it’s true that he doesn’t have much respect for that Son of Heaven, but it’s also true that he wants to calm the world!
Over the years of his development, it goes without saying that Xun Yu's importance and contributions were great, but at this stage, he needed a more satisfactory counselor.

The appearance of Sima Yi filled this position very well.

And today Sima Yi's suggestions are indeed excellent.

Not only did it resolve several aspects of Liu Bei's attack on him, it also eased the relationship between him and Xun Yu, and also gave those loyal to Liu Han's royal family an outlet to vent their emotions. It can be said that it served multiple purposes with one stone.

Therefore, he needed to know whether Sima Yi could really live up to Xun Yu's evaluation of a peerless talent, so he would leave Sima Yi alone and ask him these questions.

"Recuperate, strengthen trade, and ease the situation until we are able to destroy them in one fell swoop." Sima Yi replied, still lowering his head.

To be honest, Liu Bei was able to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop and even planned several cities in a row, which was something he had never thought of.

It stands to reason that after Cao Cao captures Yuan Shao, he will become the most powerful force in the world.

Unfortunately, not anymore.

So, the offense and defense were reversed.

As long as Liu Bei completes the integration, this war will be inevitable.

Especially, the other party has a weapon that they don't have.

Cao Cao sighed secretly after listening to Sima Yi's answer, which was exactly what he thought.

Because he had personally fought against Liu Beijun, he knew how superior the opponent's armor was.

If Liu Bei's men were all equipped, then he really wouldn't have to fight at all.

But now, it would be difficult for him to beat him.

Unless Liu Bei's main force foolishly ran to a place and was set on fire.Of course, this is currently impossible.

To recuperate and recuperate, at least the people in the North must be able to use the high-quality seeds that yield five stones per mu.

To strengthen trade, we must communicate more with Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan still has half of the county, his main force is still there. If he can attack at the critical moment, it will have a lot of effect.

To ease the situation, it is natural to ease his relationship with Liu Bei and his subordinates who protect the Han, so as to gain opportunities for his development.

He obviously knew all this, but he just wanted to ask this talented person if there was any better way to increase his chances of winning.

"Is there anything else?" So he continued to ask.

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Maybe some small measures can be added, but the big direction cannot be changed unless there is a rift in the relationship between Xinghan Trading Company and Liu Bei."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and there was a crack in the relationship. In other words, it still fell on the four words "divided and broken".

"Is there a way?"

Sima Yi nodded again, but his tone was awkward, "It's not nothing."
