Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 226

Chapter 223

"How can this be easier said than done?"

Other generals and counselors were also puzzled, feeling that Sima Yi was young and short-sighted after all, and spoke too naively.

Cao Cao sat in front of the commander's desk, looking at the map in front of him with his head down, expressionless, without any sign or expression.

Sima Yi smiled faintly and waved his hand again.

"Prime Minister, can I borrow the map?"

Sima Yi turned around, looked at Cao Cao who was sitting in front of the desk, and bowed.

"Ah!"

Cao Cao was greatly surprised. He did not expect that this young man in his twenties could be so confident and unrestrained in front of him and many senior advisers.

Cao Cao stood up and nodded.

Sima Yi called in two officers from outside the door, asked them to lift up the map on the table, and hold it on the left and right. Then a vertical map appeared in front of everyone.

"Prime Minister, look down on me!"

Sima Yi pointed to the map and said calmly: "Now all the princes in the world who are fighting for the world, such as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, etc., have been destroyed by the Prime Minister."

"Among the remaining princes, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are as hostile as fire and water. They can only be enemies, not friends."

"Ma Chao of Xiliang has long wanted to invade the south, but because the food and grass were burned by the prime minister, his offensive power is temporarily weak. There is no need to worry in the short term!"

His finger pointed westward from Wancheng and landed on Shu!
"Zhang Lu of Hanzhong has been ruling for decades, combining politics and religion. His warehouses are full of food and grass, but his troops are weak and he has no generals. He can be deceived."

"Liu Zhang of Yizhou is weak and incompetent. Although he lives in a land of abundance, he has no ambitions. He only knows how to enjoy himself and wait for death."

"Now that Liu Biao of Jingzhou is dead, Liu Bei is ambitious. How can he be satisfied with just Jingzhou?"

"If the Prime Minister withdraws his troops and returns to the Central Plains, I'm afraid Liu Bei's next move will be to send troops to attack Hanzhong and Yizhou. How will Zhang Lu fight back then?"

Xun You couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Brilliant! Zhongda's words awakened the dreamer!!"

"We only focus on the Sun and Liu families, but forget that there are two spectators standing next to us with bulging pockets!!"

Sima Yi smiled faintly, as steady as a rock, pointed at Hanzhong and said, "As long as the Prime Minister sends a man who is good at speaking to Zhang Lu, he can explain his strength."

"Zhang Lu is afraid of Liu Bei's annexation, so he will naturally help us and provide us with food and grass. By then, when we have destroyed Liu Bei, captured Zhuge Wende, and pacified Jiangdong, haha..."

The next thing to do, of course, is to go back on his word, take over the territories in central Sichuan, and unify the world!
Jia Xu stroked his beard and praised: "Good move! Wonderful move!!"

Cheng Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Not only is this a good move, it's also a poisonous one!"

"Hanzhong will be in the Prime Minister's pocket sooner or later. We should take advantage of this opportunity to eat his food and tire out his troops. After we pacify the southeast, it will be much easier to deal with him!!"

All the civil and military officers below suddenly understood and praised him endlessly.

Cao Cao listened for a long time with his eyes squinting. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, clapping his hands and saying, "Zhongda! Zhongda! I really was not wrong!"

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Mount Tai in the east and said, "General Xu! If your monthly review had been held a few years later, I'm afraid Sima Zhongda would have been the first on the list of poisonous scholars!!"

When Sima Yi heard Cao Cao's praise, he was not happy. Instead, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat!

Fortunately, everyone was in high spirits at this moment, hugging and celebrating. The food and grass problem was solved, and there would be no obstacles to the subsequent war.

Zhong Yao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, there is nothing to worry about!" "When the next monthly review comes, Sima Zhongda will be able to legitimately take the top spot from Zhuge Wende for both wisdom and poison!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he lifted his beard and laughed.

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate and praised Sima Yi's extraordinary strategy.

"Report!!"

"Urgent news from Yanzhou!!"

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from outside the big tent, and then Xiahou Jie, holding a scout document in both hands, hurriedly opened the tent curtain and walked in.

"Prime Minister, urgent news from Taishan County, Yanzhou!"

Xiahou Jie quickly came to the commander's desk and presented the report in his hands with both hands.

When the civil and military officials in the tent heard the sound of horse hooves outside the tent and saw Xiahou Jie's anxious face, they guessed that the report must contain an extremely important event. They held their breath, stretched their necks, and waited eagerly.

Cao Cao had experienced a lot, but he didn't care at all. He took the report with a smile, slowly returned to the commander's desk, prepared to sit down, opened the wax on the envelope, and took out the letter.

"Uh……"

Cao Cao's body suddenly froze halfway through his sitting position, with his buttocks hanging in the air still several inches away from the seat, but it was as if someone had cast a spell to freeze him, and he could not move at all.

The atmosphere in the big tent changed from joyful and cheerful to depressing in an instant!

The joy on Cao Cao's face suddenly disappeared and gradually turned pale!

"Zhuge Wende!!"

"Why is it Zhuge Wende again?!"

Cao Cao suddenly stood up, tore the letter in his hand into two pieces, threw it into the air, held the hammer in both hands, and smashed it hard on the table, making a loud "bang" sound.

Zhuge Wende?

Isn’t Zhuge Wende in Xiangyang?

Why is Gu Ze mentioned in the report from Taishan County of Yanzhou?
A sense of foreboding suddenly flashed through everyone's mind!
Xun You stepped forward, bent down to pick up the torn piece of letter paper from under the steps, looked at it carefully, and his expression changed involuntarily!
"The next morning after the Yuedan Review was held and Xu Shao, the head of the Yuedan Review, rated Zhuge Wende as the best in both wisdom and poison, the top of both lists, he passed away on the cliff at the top of Mount Tai!"

"General Zhendong, the governor of Qingzhou, Zang Ba, led more than a hundred elites to encircle and suppress Zhuge Wende on the mountainside of Mount Tai, but failed, and Zang Ba was killed by Zhuge Wende..."

"It is said that before Xu Shao died, he had a long conversation with Zhuge Wende on the top of Mount Tai all night long..."

When the civil and military officials heard that Zhuge Wende actually appeared in Taishan County and was chatting with Xu Shao on the top of Mount Tai, they all changed color and were shocked!
The Prime Minister is marching south, and Jingxiang and Wu have become battlefields!
At the meeting at Mount Tai, even the famous scholars from Wu and Jingxiang did not dare to go deep into the Central Plains to attend.

However, as Liu Bei's think tank and the leader who controlled the overall situation and defeated Cao's army, Zhuge Wende actually did not take the vast Central Plains seriously at all and climbed Mount Tai alone.

He also single-handedly killed the famous General Zhendong, Zang Ba, a famous general under Lu Bu in the past?

The big tent fell into silence.

"I will not be able to rest in peace until I kill Zhuge Wende!!"

Cao Cao opened his eyes wide with anger, clenched his teeth, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

The generals knew that he had suffered a great blow from the defeat on the Eastern Front and his headache had just improved. They were afraid that it would recur again and wanted to persuade him, but for a moment they didn't know how to start.

Xun You turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu.
