2564, I can only grit my teeth and promise
Cao Cao had withdrawn from Xiangyang and gave up Xiangyang and other places to Liu Bei, while he firmly occupied important cities such as Fancheng and Wancheng.
But Liu Bei relied on the foundation he left before and followed Cao Cao's retreating butt and took Xinye and other places again. Cao Cao was worried about Xu Du's safety at the time and ignored Liu Bei's behavior of taking advantage of the situation.
Liu Bei still occupied more than ten cities and large and small, with tens of thousands of people north of the Han River.
If Liu Bei certainly agreed to hand over these cities and the people to Cao Cao, not to mention anything else, with these people, Cao Cao could recruit at least hundreds or even thousands of soldiers.
"Are you serious?" Cao Cao asked faintly, holding back the ecstasy in his heart.
"Nature takes it seriously." Yiji said.
"Don't you have to go back and discuss with Uncle Liu?"
Cao Cao asked, "Can you make the decision?"
"The lord has already told me that as long as the King of Wei proposes it, you can agree." Yi Ji said.
Cao Cao didn't believe this. If he made some other requests, Yiji would probably not dare to agree.
Zhang Hong was so angry that he wanted to pour the wine in his hand on Yi Ji's face.
Yiji agreed to Cao Cao and forced him to a dead end.
"I admire the benevolence and righteousness of Emperor Liu." Cao Cao naturally had to say something good when he got the benefits.
"King of Wei."
Yi Ji had a cold expression, and he felt unhappy. He said to Cao Cao: "I hope the King of Wei can say more good things to the emperor for my lord."
"Mr. Jibo please rest assured of this."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "I support the title of Uncle Liu. I will personally write a letter to the emperor to enthrone the Uncle Liu."
Yiji nodded and sat down with an upset expression.
Although he agreed to Cao Cao for Liu Bei, he would have a headache when he returned. He wanted to give up tens of thousands of people, which was a very difficult decision for Liu Bei.
However, in order to be the king, Yiji felt it was worth it, and Liu Bei would not be disturbed by what Liu Bei had to do next. He simply withdrew from the north of the Han River and temporarily focused his energy on the direction of Yizhou.
Of course, these are Yi Ji's temporary ideas. As for what to do then, Liu Bei will finally make a decision.
"Mr. Zigang, what are your opinions?"
Yiji agreed, and Cao Cao's eyes began to look at Zhang Hong, putting pressure on Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong's hand holding the wine bottle also swelled up. He was not excited, but entangled. Looking at Yi Ji who had already sat down and was drinking leisurely, Zhang Hong's impulse to pour wine became stronger.
"Old, I agree too." Zhang Hong had to bow his head.
Yiji agreed to cede land and give it to others. If he objected, he would probably be able to be king this time, but he would return empty-handed.
In addition to the gold and silver I had previously paid off, I returned at a loss.
"What do you agree with?" Cheng Yu couldn't help asking. He wanted Zhang Hong to say exactly what land and people were to hand over.
There was another person Zhang Hong wanted to pour wine. He glared at Cheng Yu angrily and was about to speak.
Cheng Yuze spoke again: "Mr. Zigang, Lujiang to Liyang area are places where the soldiers of you and me conflict."
After hearing this, Zhang Hong wanted to pour wine but couldn't, so he simply drank it in one sip.
The range Cheng Yu said was too large, which was much larger than the place Liu Bei wanted to hand over.
"King of Wei."
After finishing the wine in the wine bottle, Zhang Hong hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu is willing to hand over Shucheng, Chao County and other places and let the court send people to govern."
Zhang Hong was worried that he would hand over more places if he said he was slower.
But even so, if Zhang Hong said, Sun Quan lost much larger than Liu Bei's, and the city might lose less than Liu Bei's, but the population is much larger, at least tens of thousands more.
"Is this what Wu Hou meant?"
Cao Cao wanted to laugh and vent his vent. He held back the ecstasy in his heart, and asked indifferently.
"Yes." Zhang Hong almost bit his teeth.
"Mr. Wu only hopes that King Wei can help more then." Zhang Hong said.
"Don't worry, I have an old age with Wentai, and Mr. Wu is a junior to me. How can I not help my nephews?" Cao Cao said with a laugh.
Zhang Hong despised him in his heart. He had to behave himself when he got the advantage, but he even took advantage of Sun Quan.
"Don't worry, two."
Cao Cao was very happy when he got what he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face. He said to Yiji and Zhang Hong: "I will definitely ask the emperor to enthrone the emperor's uncle Liu and Wu Hou as kings. At that time, when the emperor's orders, he will go to Xiangyang and Jianye respectively."
Cunning! Yi Ji and Zhang Hong despise Cao Cao in their hearts.
This means that only after Liu Bei and Sun Quan had to hand over what Cao Cao wanted, the envoys of the court would enthrone the two as kings.
But no matter what, at least Cao Cao was willing to agree, and Yiji and Zhang Hong completed the task temporarily.
Yiji and Zhang Hong looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
However, Yi Ji found that Zhang Hong's eyes had some other meanings.
Chapter completed!
