If possible, Zhang Hong would definitely not approve of ceding some places to Cao Cao, because once the land was ceded to Cao Cao, it would have a great impact on Sun Quan, and it might cause Sun Quan to suffer from the same headaches as Cao Cao.

Sun Ce's disappearance was sudden, there was no designated heir, and Sun Ce had no children.As for who succeeded Sun Ce's position, it almost caused infighting at the time.

Sun Quan took the position of Sun Ce and led Jiangdong, and not everyone agreed with Sun Quan's rise to power.

Therefore, after Sun Quan came to power, the situation in Jiangdong had been unstable, and Sun Quan knew it, so he hurriedly went to attack Jiangxia, wanting to defeat Jiangxia and use his military exploits to establish his prestige.

But Jiang Xia didn't catch it, so he went to Guangling and folded his younger brother in.

Sun Quan's two foreign military deployments came back in dismay, which greatly damaged his prestige and made the situation in Jiangdong even more unstable.

There were frequent rebellions in the following states and counties, all rising up against Sun Quan.

Now Sun Quan is relying on a group of old officials to help, and he can barely hold down the people below, so that the situation in Jiangdong can be temporarily stabilized.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan is so eager to make himself a king, and he also hopes to gain the recognition of the court, strengthen his prestige, and convince the people below him.

But if you want to cede the land, cede the city, and cede the people to Cao Cao in exchange for the title of king, this will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of more people.

I was afraid that the title of the king would have no effect at that time. For Sun Quan, it would be a loss-making business.

Therefore, Zhang Hong did not dare to be careless and did not dare to agree easily.

"Discuss what?"

After listening to Zhang Hong, Cao Cao waved his big hand: "It's okay, this king does not force it, Mr. Zigang can go back to discuss with Wu Hou, and this king can wait slowly. This king will also try to restrain the soldiers as much as possible, Mr. Zigang. You can rest assured."

your sister's.Zhang Hong cursed Cao Cao as a bastard.

Not to mention the long journey from Xudu back to Jianye, it has been more than half a year, and he is already old, running back and forth, isn't this looking for guilt?

"Mr. Jibo is also."

Cao Cao said to Yi Ji again: "You can go back to Xiangyang, discuss with Uncle Liu, and let Uncle Liu make a decision."

Zhang Hong looked at Yi Ji, wanting to see how Yi Ji would respond.

After Yi Ji was silent for a while, he slowly got up and said to Cao Cao: "King Wei, it's best for the people to have the court, since the people all want the emperor to govern them, there is no reason why my lord should be the uncle of the emperor. ?"

Zhang Hong looked at Yi Ji and had a bad premonition in his heart, this guy wouldn't agree directly, would he?

Sure enough, just as Zhang Hong had guessed, Yi Ji agreed.

"King Wei, the lord of my family can hand over the area north of the Han River to the imperial court, and the area south of the Han River will be governed by my lord." Yi Ji said to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao heard this, he didn't show much expression on his face, but his eyes flashed with ecstasy.The veins on his hand holding the wine bottle were protruding, showing the excitement in his heart. ..

2564 can only grit his teeth and promise

Cao Cao withdrew from Xiangyang before, ceding Xiangyang and other places to Liu Bei, while he firmly occupied important cities such as Fancheng and Wancheng.

However, Liu Bei relied on the foundation he left behind, followed Cao Cao's retreating ass, and regained control of Xinye and other places in his hands. Cao Cao was worried about the safety of Xudu and ignored Liu Bei's behavior of taking advantage of the fire.

Liu Bei still occupies more than ten large and small cities north of the Han River, with tens of thousands of people.

If Liu Bei definitely agreed to hand over these cities and people to Cao Cao, if nothing else, with the help of these people, Cao Cao could at least recruit hundreds or even thousands of soldiers.

"Is this true?" Cao Cao asked lightly, holding back the ecstasy in his heart.

"Naturally, it's true." Yi Ji said.

"Don't go back and discuss with Uncle Liu?"

Cao Cao asked, "Can you call the shots?"

"The lord has already explained it, as long as the king of Wei proposes, you can agree." Yi Ji said.

Cao Cao didn't believe it. If he made any other demands, it is estimated that Yi Ji would not dare to agree.

Zhang Hong hated him beside him, he wanted to throw the wine in his hand on Yi Ji's face.

Yi Ji agreed to Cao Cao and forced him to a dead end.

"Uncle Liu's benevolence and righteousness, this king admires him." Cao Cao had benefited, so naturally he would say something nice.

"King Wei."

Yi Ji's expression was indifferent, and he felt unhappy. He said to Cao Cao, "I hope the King of Wei can say something nice to the emperor for my lord."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Jibo."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "This king supports Uncle Liu's title to the king, and this king will personally submit a letter to ask the emperor to confer the title of Uncle Liu."

Yi Ji nodded and sat down with an unhappy face.

Although he promised Cao Cao for Liu Bei, he would have a headache when he went back. He had to give up tens of thousands of people. This was a very difficult decision for Liu Bei.

However, in order to be crowned king, Yi Ji felt that it was worthwhile, and Liu Bei was not to be disturbed by what Liu Bei was going to do next.Simply withdraw from the place north of Hanshui, and temporarily focus on the direction of Yizhou.

Of course, these are all Yi Ji's temporary thoughts. As for the time, Liu Bei's final decision will be made.

"Mr. Zigang, what is your opinion?"

Yi Ji agreed, and Cao Cao began to look at Zhang Hong, putting pressure on Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong's hand holding the wine bottle also burst into blue veins. He was not excited, but tangled.Looking at Yi Ji, who had already sat down and was drinking leisurely, Zhang Hong's urge to pour wine became stronger.

"Old, the old man also agrees." Zhang Hong had to bow his head.
