I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Yang Xiu closed his mouth.

He knows how to figure out what he wants. He has been trying to figure out what Cao Cao thinks. Cao Cao now thinks that Sima Yi's solution is good. If he opposes it again, it will only make Cao Cao hate him. Yang Xiu will not do such a thing. .

"King Wei, what Yang Zhubo said has to be guarded against."

Kuaiyue could also hear 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, but they don't have to pay at all, that's fine. It is too cheap for them, and it will make them feel that King Wei is trying to please them."

"King Wei, Yidu is right."

Jiang Ji voiced his support for Kuaiyue's opinion. He said, "We must make Liu Bei and Sun Quan pay a little price."

No one objected to this, everyone agreed.

"King Wei."

Cheng Yu said: "Yi Ji and Zhang Hong are still in Xudu, it's time to meet them."

What Cheng Yu meant was that Liu Bei and Sun Quan's messengers were all in Xudu, and they could use their messengers to kill Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Arrange a time for this king to meet them."

Before Cao Cao was too lazy to see them, he gave them a closed door because Cao Cao had not yet decided how to deal with the matter of Liu Bei and Sun Quan being crowned king.

Now, I have an initial idea, so it is time to meet the messenger of Liu Bei Sun Quan.

"What price do you think this king should make Liu Bei and Sun Quan pay?" Cao Cao couldn't help but asked again, his tone was already relaxed.

Because in this matter, Cao Cao is in control of the advantage, as long as it is not too much, as long as it is a price that Liu Bei and Sun Quan can afford, they will definitely agree.

"Let Liu Bei and Sun Quan hand over some of the cities."

Yang Xiu was the first to speak out. He said, "Let Sun Quan hand over Lujiang, and let Liu Bei hand over Xiangyang."

idiot.

Sima Yi severely despised Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu's proposal was absolutely impossible. Lujiang was an important city controlled by Sun Quan to the north of the Yangtze River. Without Lujiang, Sun Quan could only return to the south of the Yangtze River to play on his own.

And Xiangyang is the same. Without Xiangyang, Liu Bei could only go to the south of Jingzhou to find Wuxi barbarians to play.

"Do you have a way to get them to hand over Lujiang and Xiangyang?" Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu.

If you are 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, how could he do it?This is the lifeblood of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and they are willing to hand it over easily.

"King Wei, you can ask them to hand over some of the cities and population that border it." Cheng Yu suggested.

The city is not very important, the important thing is the population.Only population is the guarantee of strength.

"Yes, they can also retreat a hundred miles, and the border between the two sides should not be too many." Jiang Ji also suggested.

The large army stationed on the border between the two sides was a great burden to Cao Cao.

If Liu Bei and Sun Quan were able to withdraw the army from the border with Cao Cao, it would reduce Cao Cao's burden.

Reducing the garrison strength can reduce the pressure on logistics.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"King Wei, why don't you ask Liu Bei Sun Quan to offer some food and money?" Sima Yi suggested.

"Okay, Zhongda's plan is very good." When Cao Cao heard it, it was exactly what he wanted.

In the previous battle with Liu Zhe, he was extorted by Liu Zhe for a lot of grain and money, which made Cao Cao feel so distressed that he wanted to cry every time he thought about it.

If Liu Zhe can blackmail him, then he can also blackmail Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and get back the money he was blackmailed by Liu Zhe from Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

"Okay, that's it."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "This king must let Liu Bei and Sun Quan know that it is not so easy to become a king."

"This king must make them bleed heavily."

"Wei Wang Yingming." Everyone present shouted in unison.

At this moment, Cao Hong flew in from outside.

"King Wei, urgent report from Wancheng!"

"what's up?"

Cao Cao saw that Cao Hong was in a hurry, and immediately said unpleasantly: "Why should you panic like this if there is something important?"

"King Wei, Wancheng urgently reports that Liu Zhe's army will go 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 the problem?"

Cao Cao simply jumped down from the direct position, took three steps in parallel, rushed to Cao Hong almost like a run, grabbed the information from Cao Hong's hand, and looked at it quickly. ..

After seven or eight breaths, after reading the information in his hand, Cao Cao angrily threw the information in his hand on the ground and roared: "Damn, damn, damn Liu Zhe, damn Liu Zhe, and damn Zhang He. …”
