However, Sima Yi was not afraid. Although Yang Xiu had been targeting him, everyone's official positions were similar. There was no subordinate of who was who, so he didn't have to live a life by looking at Yang Xiu's expression.

So, he retorted without hesitation: "Now you have the opportunity to use them, why not give it a try?"

Yang Xiu's face looked very bad and he wanted to say something, but Cao Cao had already spoken. He agreed with Sima Yi's opinion and said, "Zhongda's words are reasonable."

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

He knew how to figure out the best intentions, and he had been trying to figure out Cao Cao's ideas. Cao Cao now felt that Sima Yi's method was good. If he spoke out again, it would only make Cao Cao hate him. Yang Xiu would not do such a thing.

"King of Wei, what Yang Zhubo said must be guarded."

Kuai Yue could also hear what Cao Cao meant from Cao Cao's tone, but he did not want Liu Bei and Sun Quan to be successfully awarded the king. He said: "Even if the King of Wei wants to support them in awarding the king, they don't have to pay at all, which would be too cheap for them, and it would make them feel that the King of Wei is pleasing them."

"King of Wei, Yidu is right."

Jiang Ji spoke out to support Kuai Yue's opinion, and he said: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan must pay a little price."

No one objected to this, everyone agreed.

"King of Wei."

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

Cheng Yu means that Liu Bei and Sun Quan's envoys are all in Xudu, and they can use their envoys to slaughter Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Schedule a time to let me see them."

Cao Cao was too lazy to see them before, so he turned them off because Cao Cao had not decided how to deal with Liu Bei and Sun Quan's title of king.

Now, I have initially thoughts, so it is time to meet Liu Bei and Sun Quan's envoy.

"What do you think I should ask Liu Bei and Sun Quan to pay?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking again, his tone had already relaxed.

Because in this matter, Cao Cao controlled the advantage. As long as it was not too much, as long as it was a price that Liu Bei and Sun Quan could bear, they would definitely agree.

"Liu Bei and Sun Quan should be asked to hand over some cities."

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

idiot.

Sima Yi despised Yang Xiu fiercely.

Yang Xiu's proposal was simply impossible. Lujiang was an important city controlled by Sun Quan to the north of the Yangtze River. Without Lujiang, Sun Quan could only retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to play with himself.

The same is true for Xiangyang. Without Xiangyang, Liu Bei had to go to the southern part of Jingzhou to find the barbarians in Wuxi to play.

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

If you are willing to hand over these two cities, let alone be the king, Cao Cao may agree to other more excessive requests.

Yang Xiu shut up, how could he have a solution? This is the lifeblood of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, so how could he trade it easily?

"King of Wei can ask them to hand over some cities and populations that border them." Cheng Yu suggested.

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

"That's right, they can also retreat a hundred miles. There must be no too many troops on the border between the two sides." Jiang Ji also suggested.

The army stationed in the border areas of both sides was a great burden for Cao Cao.

If Liu Bei and Sun Quan could retreat the army on the border with Cao Cao, it would reduce Cao Cao a lot of burden. After all, the army stationed at the border is on the border, and the daily consumption of food and drink is a huge number.

Reducing the garrison forces can reduce the pressure on the logistics.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Are there any other suggestions?"

"King of Wei, why not ask Liu Bei and Sun Quan to pay some tribute to food, grass and money?" Sima Yi suggested.

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

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

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

"Okay, that's it."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "I must let Liu Bei and Sun Quan know that it is not that easy to be crowned king."

"I must make them bleed."

"Wang Wei Yingming." Everyone present shouted.

At this moment, Cao Hong rushed in from outside.

"King of Wei, Wancheng urgently reported it!"

"What's up?"

When Cao Cao saw Cao Hong in a hurry, he immediately said unhappily: "What big thing is there, why should you panic like this?"

"King of Wei, Wancheng urgently reported that Liu Zhe's army was out of Wu Pass 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 almost the same.

"what is going on?"

Cao Cao simply jumped down from his direct position, took two steps at a time, rushed to Cao Hong almost like running, snatched the information in Cao Hong's hand, and then looked quickly...
