Chapter 822 What Do You Think?

"What made the lord so angry?"

A gentle voice came from outside the door, and then a handsome man walked in.

"It's Wen Ruo!"

Seeing that it was Xun Yu, Cao Cao forced a smile.

"My lord, if you are too angry to hurt your body, it's better not to get angry, and be careful not to get angry!"

Xun Yu has a clear mind, and he can see through Cao Cao's state at a glance.

What's more, Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's roar from the moment he entered the gate of Sikong Mansion.

Hearing the word head wind, Cao Cao's eyes immediately flashed a trace of fear.

Having a headache really made his life worse than death.

"Hey!"

"Wen Ruo, Liu Zhang is really abominable. Is it easy for Sikong to live frugally? Let him cheat 200,000 shi of food and grass at once!"

Cao Cao still couldn't help complaining to Xun Yu, he really couldn't swallow this breath.

Xun Yu nodded with a smile, without much resentment.

"My lord, these grains were originally seized from Runan, so if you give them, just give them!"

"If the lord really can't let it go, you might as well regard it as Liu Bei's gift to Liu Zhang!"

Xun Yu, who is the logistics manager of the Cao Group, is obviously more enlightened than Cao Cao.

Seeing that Cao Cao's mood has eased, Guo Jia hastened to speak.

"My lord, it's not appropriate to have any grudges with Liu Zhang at the moment. Our main energy must be on Yuan Shao in Hebei."

"If the 200,000 shi of grain and grass can buy a few years of peace, it will be very worth it!"

Cao Cao nodded helplessly. Now that things have come to an end, it is impossible not to comfort himself like this.

"Feng Xiao, Liu Zhang knows that we are sponsoring Xianbei to fight against him, will he let it go?"

"Especially this time Xianbei was wiped out without bloodshed!"

What Cao Cao was most worried about was that Liu Zhang would go east again with a victorious army.

In fact, at the beginning, Cao Cao didn't expect the Xianbei people to do anything to Liu Zhang.

Although Liu Zhang's defeat by the Xianbei was the best result, Cao Cao's initial expectation was that both Liu Zhang and the Xianbei would suffer losses.

Guanzhong can be given to Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang cannot be given the power to move eastward after occupying Guanzhong.

It's a pity that the result is just the opposite. Guanzhong belongs to Liu Zhang, even without paying any price.

At this time, Sima Yi, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"Cao Sikong, I feel that Liu Zhang will not go east, and his footsteps will definitely stop in Guanzhong."

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi sullenly, and became even more bored.

"What do you think? Do you still have the face to think so?"

"Then how do you think Ben Sikong will deal with you?"

If it wasn't for Sima Yi's self-assertion, how could the situation in Guanzhong be in such a state of desperation?

Sima Yi immediately fell to his knees and put his head on the ground.

"I am guilty, please punish Cao Sikong!"

"My lord!"

Just as Cao Cao was about to speak, Guo Jia stopped him immediately.

"My lord, I don't blame Zhong Da for this incident. If my lord wants to punish him, I will punish him."

Guo Jia did not shield Sima Yi, and the strategy against the Yizhou Army was indeed approved by him.

"Feng Xiao, how can you blame this?"

Guo Jia still bowed his hands and bowed, as if he would not give up until he forgave Sima Yi.

"Forget it! You go down!"

Cao Cao waved his hand irritably, not wanting to look at Sima Yi again.

"Thank you, Cao Sikong!"

Sima Yi felt relieved, and quickly walked out with his head down.

It's just that no one noticed the trace of resentment in his eyes.

After Sima Yi left, Cao Cao helped Guo Jia up.

"Feng Xiao, don't blame yourself for everything!"

How could Cao Cao have the heart to blame Guo Jia, how could he be today without Guo Jia's credit?

Guo Jia pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

Cao Cao has already given him the steps, so Guo Jia will naturally not be tense.

"My lord, I think Sima Yi's words make sense, and the chances of Liu Zhang going east are not high."

"No matter how rich Yizhou is, it is just a state. How can it support Liu Zhang's endless wars?"

"If Liu Zhang puts all his eggs in one basket and insists on going eastward, I will definitely give him a head-on blow!"

Guo Jia comforted Cao Cao so much, but he still had some expectations in his heart.

An opponent like Yuan Shao is too weak, and only when he fights against Liu Zhang can he truly reflect his value.

From the current point of view, it is estimated that only Cao Cao and Liu Zhang can compete for hegemony.

After defeating Liu Zhang, there will be no obstacles for Cao Cao to unify the world.

"Ahem, my lord, Fengxiao, I will interrupt you."

Xun Yu coughed lightly, and took advantage of the gap to interject quickly.

"Liu Zhang probably won't go east, he sent an envoy to meet His Majesty."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at Xun Yu with some dissatisfaction.

"Wen Ruo, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Liu Zhang sent an envoy again, and made it clear that he would have an audience with His Majesty, so naturally he would no longer raise troops.

Cao Cao didn't think Liu Zhang would take off his pants and fart.

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this to be his fault.

The key is that Cao Cao didn't ask, nor did he give him a chance to speak.

"My lord, didn't I say earlier that Liu Zhang sent the heads of Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan to Xuchang?"

Cao Cao frowned, and his dissatisfaction became stronger.

"This Sikong thought that Liu Zhang just sent someone here at random. Who knew a special envoy came here?"

Xun Yu sighed secretly, and did not argue with Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao knew his mistakes and corrected them but did not admit them. He got into a dead end and no one could do anything about him.

Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly opened his mouth to change the topic, so as not to make the atmosphere awkward.

"Wen Ruo, did Liu Zhang's envoy reveal what's going on with Liu Zhang?"

A person was specially dispatched, and he also asked to see the emperor. Anyone could guess that it would not be a simple pilgrimage.

After all, Liu Zhang just sent a group of missions to pay tribute last year, and it is impossible to come again in the past six months.

Xun Yu shook his head lightly, and then showed a not-so-happy smile.

"Fengxiao, what else can Liu Zhang do? Isn't it all your fault?"

Guo Jia smiled and immediately understood what Xun Yu meant.

It must be the reward for luring Liu Zhang into a decisive battle with the Xianbei people.

Guo Jia smacked his lips and muttered something to himself.

"The position of Lord Qin? How dare this Liu Zhang...!"

Guo Jia's generosity was not forgiven by Xun Yu, but made Xun Yu even more angry.

"Why not? Didn't you give Liu Zhang an imperial edict to reward him with a duke?"

"Now that Liu Zhang is stationed in Chang'an, the imperial court can't do without it!"

Cao Cao's face on the side also sank, and Xun Yu's reaction was too intense.

Even though Liu Zhang is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he showed such dissatisfaction, let alone in the future...

"Wen Ruo, Gao Zu cut off the white horse and made an oath. Anyone with the surname of Liu cannot be called king."

"Liu Zhang is the successor of King Lu Gong, and he did not violate the precepts of his ancestors."

There was indeed nothing wrong with Cao Cao's remarks, but it still couldn't make Xun Yu feel relieved.

"My lord, since the implementation of the Tweeting Order, has there ever been a non-prince named king in the world?"

In Xun Yu's view, Liu Zhang is a clan member of the Han family, which cannot be used as a reason for being named Duke.

Everything can only be blamed on the Tweeting Order, if it weren't for the Tweeting Order, there must be as many princes in the world now!

Cao Cao knew that he could not argue with Xun Yu, so he quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, Wen Ruo, who did Liu Zhang send as an envoy?"
