Now, the meaning in Yiji's words is very obvious. Liu Bei can recognize Cao Cao's identity as prime minister, but Cao Cao also wants to recognize Liu Bei's identity as emperor uncle.

Cao Cao naturally understood what Sima Yi understood, and Cao Cao thought more than Sima Yi.

Did Liu Bei send Yi Ji here just to make his name clear? He and Liu Bei are still in a state of hostility, so Liu Bei would not be so stupid and came to ask Cao Cao to correct his name.

If you recognize Liu Bei's identity as the emperor's uncle, then will Cao Cao still attack Jiangxia? What are the benefits of Cao Cao doing this? Unless Liu Bei has a suitable and sufficient reason to get Cao Cao to agree.

"Liu Bei called himself the emperor's uncle, but he was actually rebellious." Cao Cao spoke, but his tone was full of murderous aura.

Liu Bei did not give him a suitable and sufficient reason. How could Cao Cao correct Liu Bei's reputation?

Yiji's face changed.

"General Cao." At this time, Gu Yong next to him spoke out.

Gu Yong is now the Zuo Sima of Sun Quan and is highly trusted.

He bowed to Cao Cao and said, "I heard that the Taiwei was not named as a court and sent troops to Hanzhong to attack the court ministers at will. If General Cao was really the prime minister, why not care?"

Gu Yong's words made Cao Cao want to beat him. If he could control Liu Zhe, would he have to come here to bully Liu Bei?

However, Cao Cao seemed to understand the purpose of Yiji and Gu Yong coming here.

"What's your intention when you come to see the orphan?" Cao Cao, who had a headache, simply stopped going around with the two of them and asked directly.

Yi Ji and Gu Yong looked at each other, and they said in unison: "My lord hopes to meet Prime Minister Cao."

At this time, the names of Cao Cao changed.

"Do they want to see the orphan?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised. He didn't even care about his name changing. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"Prime Minister, it's about the north side." Gu Yong said lightly.

North? Only Liu Zhe refers to the north.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he stared at the two of them and asked again: "Is it really for the north?"

"That's right."

Yiji also said: "My lord hopes that everyone will let go of their prejudices and join forces..."

Yiji didn't finish his words, what did everyone do together? What else would he have other than joining forces to deal with Liu Zhe?

"How do Liu Bei and Sun Quan want to meet?" Cao Cao asked bluntly.

If it was a joint fight against Liu Zhe, then Cao Cao would be interested in meeting Liu Bei and the others.

"Ten days later, Wulin." Yiji said the time and place.

Wulin is a stretch of hilly areas, opposite the Red Cliff on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

"My lord only brought three hundred guards to him." Gu Yong said.

"So are my lords." Yiji said.

"snort."

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "If Liu Bei and Sun Quan have sincerity, I will also go there with sincerity."

This is undoubtedly a temporary agreement.

After Yiji and Gu Yong looked at each other again, the two saluted Cao Cao together again.

"So, let's say goodbye."

The two left after a few words, but Cao Cao didn't care whether he was rude. He had fallen into the intentions expressed by Yiji and Gu Yong.

It was obvious that the two of them were here to pass on the message for Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan want to work with him to deal with Liu Zhe?

What should I do? Should I join forces with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, or refuse?

Cao Cao fell into deep thought for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao spoke and asked his two subordinates: "Dezu, Zhongda, what do you think about this?"

"Prime Minister, be careful of fraud." Yang Xiu was the first to speak out again.

"Liu Bei and Sun Quan are not as strong as the Prime Minister. Maybe this is Zhuge Liang's trick."

Yang Xiu continued: "I deliberately used a meeting to deceive the Prime Minister into Wulin and ambush the heavy troops..."

"There is also a possibility." Cao Cao nodded and agreed.

"But as long as the Prime Minister is careful, even if Liu Bei and Sun Quan have any tricks, there is no need to be afraid."

Yang Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Maybe this is a good opportunity."

"What good opportunity?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

"If Liu Bei and Sun Quan really want to ambush the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister can use the tricks and defeat the two of them, and eliminate them." Yang Xiudao.

"Prime Minister."

Sima Yi spoke out, and he said to Cao Cao: "I think Liu Bei and Sun Quan may really have the sincerity to meet and talk to the Prime Minister this time."

"Why?" Yang Xiu asked in dissatisfaction with Sima Yi's words.

"Nothing for anything else, it's because of Liu Zhe."

Sima Yi said: "Liu Zhe's acquisition of Hanzhong was much beyond everyone's expectations. We did not expect it, Liu Bei did not expect it, and Sun Quan did not expect it."

Yang Xiu next to him suddenly turned dark.

In order to go south, Cao Cao sent Yang Xiu and Sima Yi to test Liu Zhe, and got the result that Liu Zhe would not interfere. Then Cao Cao went south and Liu Zhe also attacked Hanzhong.

For Cao Cao, he would rather not have Jingzhou than allow Liu Zhe to seize Hanzhong. Therefore, if it is really necessary to pursue it, both Yang Xiu and Sima Yi will be responsible.

Now that Sima Yi has spoken out on his own initiative, it means he has exposed his scars, which makes Yang Xiu particularly unhappy.
