I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

When Yang Xiu saw that it was Sima Yi, he was immediately dissatisfied, and said, "What do you think we can do to help King Liu Bei of Chu by sending troops now? Besides the anger of King Liu Zhe of Yan, what else can we gain?"

idiot!

Sima Yi couldn't help but glanced at Yang Xiu with the eyes of an idiot.

Sima Yi knew that sending troops now would provoke Liu Zhe's anger, but for Liu Bei, it was a nectar from the sky, which would definitely make Liu Bei grateful. If Cao Cao needs to form an alliance with Liu Bei in the future, Liu Bei will definitely not hesitate too much. .

Sima Yi looked down on Yang Xiu from the bottom of his heart, and hated Yang Xiu very much.

Of course, I hate Yang Xiu because Yang Xiu is always arrogant and often targets him.

Yang Xiukong has a bright mind, but his political awareness is pitifully low.

This was also the reason why Sima Yi looked down on Yang Xiu. ..

3174 , Cao Cao's Worries

Although now sending troops to attack Liu Zhe, it will provoke Liu Zhe's anger, and seems to be asking for trouble to help the irrelevant Liu Bei.

But this is for consideration in the future, sending troops to deal with Liu Zhe to help Liu Bei relieve the pressure, the alliance between the two sides will gain mutual trust because of this in the future, and the alliance between the two sides will be stronger.

Don't fall apart when you encounter failure.

It can be said that helping Liu Bei now is also helping himself, for a better future.

Facing Yang Xiu who couldn't see this, Sima Yi was too lazy to speak to Yang Xiu. He felt that if he spoke out, he would only make himself as stupid as Yang Xiu.

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't say anything, Yang Xiu felt proud, thinking that he was so embarrassed that Sima Yi had nothing to say. He was about to say something, but someone next to him said, "King Wei, this minister thinks we should send troops..."

Yang Xiu was furious. Anyone else dared to object?

Didn't see that Sima Yi's servant didn't dare to make a sound.

Yang Xiu immediately followed the prestige, he wanted to see who dared to speak out against him?

However, when Yang Xiu saw the person who spoke out, he opened his mouth, and finally closed his mouth, and all the words he wanted to hate were swallowed back in his stomach.

Because the person who spoke was Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu can say without exaggeration that his qualifications can be regarded as the oldest in the audience.

He was also the first group of people to mix with Cao Cao, and he helped Cao Cao a lot and a lot.

Even Cao Cao's Cao family and Xiahou family's main family did not deserve as much credit as Cheng Yu.

Therefore, Cao Cao trusted Cheng Yu very much and relied on him very much.

Yang Xiu saw that it was Cheng Yu who agreed to send troops to deal with Liu Zhe, so he knew that most of his thoughts about making Cao Cao not send troops were going to fail.

So Yang Xiu was silent for a while, he wanted to see what Cheng Yu said.

If you ran out to oppose Cheng Yu casually, it would easily provoke Cao Cao's dissatisfaction.

One sentence from Cheng Yu was worth ten sentences from Yang Xiu.

"Zhongde, what do you mean?"

Cao Cao immediately looked at Cheng Yu and asked what Cheng Yu meant.

Yang Xiu saw that Cao Cao attached so much importance to Cheng Yu, and his attitude towards Cheng Yu was very good, which made him envious.

"King Wei."

Cheng Yu agreed with Sima Yi's opinion. He said: "Since he plans to deal with the State of Yan together with the King of Chu in the future, he must continue to show his sincerity today. If he refuses directly, I am afraid that he will have a gap in his heart in the future, and it will be difficult for him to truly unite. ."

"But if you send troops, if you are not careful, it may cause a war between the two countries of Wei and Yan." Cao Cao said worriedly.

Cao Cao is still a little self-aware. Now the strength of Wei State is far less than that of Yan State. Even if he sends more people to gather grain and grass, Wei State's current strength is still inferior to Liu Zhe's Yan State.

If Liu Zhe was angered by the dispatch of troops this time, let Liu Zhe use the excuse of dispatching troops to deal with him, and send troops across the Yellow River from the north to deal with him.

Cao Cao couldn't help shivering when he thought of the overwhelming force of Yan State coming from the north.

How far is his capital from the Yellow River?

Once the troops of the State of Yan crossed the Yellow River, Xudu could be declared half lost.

Although it is said that Cao Cao hopes to form an alliance with Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the future, and then kill Liu Zhe.

But it does not mean that he is willing to bear Liu Zhe's wrath in advance and bring destruction to the Wei state.

He, Cao Cao, was not great enough to put himself in danger by helping Liu Bei.

"correct."

Yang Xiu saw that Cao Cao had this concern, and his confidence was immediately relieved, and he said, "The state of Yan is strong, and now what the state of Wei needs is to recuperate and accumulate strength. Only by accumulating enough strength can we have a chance to defeat it. Yan Kingdom."

"If King Yan occupied Yizhou, how long would it take us to defeat him?" Cheng Yu asked Yang Xiu.

Although this question was asked of Yang Xiu, Cheng Yu's eyes were on Cao Cao.

A state, especially Yizhou, is a big state, and the strength it contains is unimaginable. Population, resources, etc. are the most direct enhancements to strength.

Once Liu Zhe got Yizhou, it would undoubtedly be even more powerful.

On the contrary, the time for Cao Cao to accumulate strength will continue to be delayed, and it is even difficult for Cao Cao to accumulate enough strength in his entire life to fight against Liu Zhe.

Because by then, Liu Zhe had already accounted for more than half of the thirteen prefectures in the world.
