Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 42 Ye Fan despises: The Prime Minister is such a fool!
  Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and calmed down a bit. The more he thought about Zhuge Liang's previous words, the more he felt that there was something in his words.

"It doesn't look like he's here to form an alliance, but rather to urge me to surrender... No, how could he do this? Is it a way to provoke the generals?"

Lu Su quickly added: "It must be so. Liu Beijun hopes to join forces with me, Jiangdong. How could he want Jiangdong to surrender? He must be trying to let the lord see clearly the consequences of Jiangdong's surrender and force the lord to make a decision."

"Hmph," Sun Quan snorted coldly, "Even so, what he said was too unpleasant, and he almost reduced me, Jiangdong, to nothing!"

Lu Su felt happy, and then he understood Zhuge Liang's brilliance. With such excitement, Sun Quan would definitely suppress the various voices of surrender from the Jiangdong family and firmly oppose Cao Cao.

"Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you are so smart, why don't you discuss this with me in advance?" He complained silently in his heart.

Knowing that Sun Quan was angry at this time, Lu Su quickly changed the subject.

"My lord, when I went to find Liu Bei, I heard from Liu Bei that Feng Chu Pang Tong showed up in Jiangxia."

"Pang Tong? Is he as famous as Zhuge Liang?" Sun Quan's anger dissipated for the most part, and he even couldn't help but smile, "Okay, quickly send someone to look for him. I, a high-ranking official in Jiangdong, am waiting for a generous salary, and I must find him!" "

In addition to the fact that Pang Tong is really a talented person, Sun Quan also wants to find someone as smart as Zhuge Liang to overpower Zhuge Liang!
  The news that Ma Teng left for Xuchang soon reached Cao Cao's ears.

After all, this was the plan he agreed to. After seeing Ma Teng take the bait, he was naturally a little proud. Once Ma Teng was controlled, Xiliang would no longer be a threat.

"It seems that Ma Teng didn't see through the doorway."

Cheng Yu on the side nodded: "This is all due to the wisdom of the Prime Minister. It is reasonable and reasonable for the emperor to issue an imperial edict. Ma Teng regards himself as a loyal minister and will definitely not refuse."

"Cheng Yu, I asked you to look for Pang Tong. Have you heard any news after so many days?" Cao Cao asked casually about this matter. After all, Pang Tong was always on his mind.

Cheng Yu looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly came to Cao Cao, bent down and said: "Prime Minister, I am incompetent. I didn't find any trace of Pang Tong."

"But as long as he is in Jiangxia, his subordinates will definitely find him and bring him to the lord!"

Cao Cao sighed and rubbed his head: "It's really frustrating to have such a great talent right in front of me but not being able to use it for me."

At this time, he thought of Ye Fan, and also wanted to show off in front of Ye Fan, so he turned away everyone and came to find Ye Fan with wine and meat.

"I asked you why you are so idle and come to me every two days. If Prime Minister Cao finds out, you will be the one to watch!"

Although Ye Fan likes the fair and meat that Cao Cao brings, he is also afraid that Cao Cao will really be punished. After all, he is the only fair and square friend in Cao's camp.

And compared to others, Cao Cao was very respectful and polite to him, which was treatment he had never received before.

Cao Cao smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.

"It's okay, I came here secretly anyway, no one will know."

The two exchanged glasses, and after a long time, Cao Cao mentioned Ma Teng's matter intentionally or unintentionally.

"In order to solve the hidden dangers in Xiliang a few days ago, the Prime Minister has asked Ma Teng to go to Xuchang to report on his work. When Ma Teng comes to Xuchang, he will be placed under house arrest. Then the Xiliang army will not dare to act rashly!"

"Sir, do you think this plan of the Prime Minister is very clever?"

In his words, he was vaguely proud. After all, it was a clever plan to control the Xiliang army without using a single soldier.

Therefore, he also wanted to hear Mark's words of praise for him.

But who knew that after Ye Fan listened, instead of praising Cao Cao, he looked at him as if he were a fool. "Brilliant? I think it's just nonsense. You are also a fool."

Cao Cao was very unconvinced: "Isn't it good to do this? You can solve the hidden dangers in Xiliang without spending a single soldier. When Jiangdong is eliminated, you can turn around and eliminate Xiliang with peace of mind."

Ye Fan sneered: "Do you really think that people in Xiliang are also a bunch of fools? Ma Teng is not too smart, but he is not an ordinary person. Since he dares to come, he must have thought of a way to deal with it. "

Cao Cao frowned: "Xuchang is the hometown of the Prime Minister. Although the main force is in Jingzhou, there are still a lot of troops left. Once Ma Teng enters Xuchang, won't he be captured without mercy?"

"What if the Xiliang army cooperates with the outside?"

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly.

"The inside should be coordinated with the outside?" Cao Cao was stunned, "Then what ability does Ma Teng have..."

"hiss!"

Before he finished speaking, he figured out the pros and cons.

Ma Teng seemed to have only brought a thousand men with him, but these thousand men were all veterans who were good at fighting, and each one was worth ten, so they should not be underestimated.

And if Xiliang's army follows suit, if Ma Teng is captured, Xiliang's army will definitely press on to capture Ma Teng.

At this time, Cao Jun could not spare any effort to deal with them, and would be in a dilemma.

"If I kill Ma Teng, the Xiliang army will definitely attack my rear. But if I let Ma Teng go, Ma Teng may take away all the emperors. In this way, I will be even more passive."

"No matter what the situation is, Zhou Yu is happy to see it anyway!"

After Cao Cao figured this out, he was sweating profusely and his face was extremely ugly. Before, he only thought that the plan was brilliant, but now it seemed that it was full of loopholes.

They originally thought that Ma Teng would become a bargaining chip in his hands, but now it seems that he is a hot potato. They had underestimated Xiliang before, thinking that without Ma Teng, Xiliang would not dare to act rashly.

But they ignored that Xiliang has been dealing with foreign races. They are strong and daring people. If one of them fails, they may cause chaos in their rear!
  Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly stood up and hurriedly raised his hands to Ye Fan and said: "Sir, I need to report this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be terrible!"

Ye Fan waved his hand, looking indifferent.

Soon Cao Cao returned to the military tent and summoned the civil and military forces again late at night.

Everyone knew clearly that this must be what the great sage Cao Cao said had said to make Cao Cao so nervous.

"Prime Minister, don't you know what happened?"

Cao Ren saw Cao Cao's panic and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's not our place, it's Xiliang!"

"Did something happen in Xiliang?" Jia Xu was shocked and asked quickly.

"Xiliang is fine, but something is going to happen in our rear area!"
