"Liu Zhe killed the whole Wang family?"

Cao Cao was shocked when he received the news from the spy. He was really unbelievable. He subconsciously touched his forehead. Recently, his headache had made touching his forehead a habit.

However, when he came to his senses and repeatedly confirmed the news, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, God helps me!"

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." Cheng Yu, Jiang Ji and other advisers also congratulated Cao Cao one after another. They naturally understood the negative impact of Liu Zhe's killing the Wang family of the first family in Bingzhou.

First, killing the Wang family will make everyone in danger of other big families under Liu Zhe, thus becoming wary of Liu Zhe. If Cao Cao and Liu Zhe start a war in the future, they can seek help from these people.

Second, Liu Zhe will have a gap with Wang Yun because of this. When Wang Yun does not get Liu Zhe's help, Cao Cao will have the opportunity to kick Wang Yun out of the court.

However, Cao Cao was not an ordinary person after all. After he was happy, he realized that although Liu Zhe destroyed the Wang family and other families, the new policies implemented in Bingzhou helped Liu Zhe win over the lower-class scholars and recruit a large number of talents.

Cao Cao felt a lot of sense of crisis in his heart.

Although Liu Zhe destroyed Yuan Shao, he acted like he was guarding the four prefectures of Hebei and not playing with you.

But Cao Cao understood that Liu Zhe was cultivating and resting. Especially the incident of Bingzhou made Cao Cao more convinced that Liu Zhe wanted to rectify his territory, eliminate all unstable factors, and consolidate his rule.

Once Liu Zhe is repaired, he will inevitably raise his weapons to the Central Plains. By then, the war between him and Liu Zhe will definitely be inevitable.

Although the period when Liu Zhe was repairing was also the best time for Cao Cao to develop his strength, Cao Cao was extremely depressed. He could have developed well during this period, but who knew that everything was not going well.

His son was killed in Xuzhou and wanted to take the opportunity to swallow Xuzhou under the pretext of avenging his father. As a result, he was targeted by many people. In the end, he was useless to lose his strength in vain, but his reputation was damaged.

Yongzhou was pacified, but it was also robbed. One state had four forces, which made Cao Cao grit his teeth in hatred.

Compared to Liu Zhe, Cao Cao found that his position was really bad.

To the north, there is the Yellow River chasm and Liu Zhe, who is his biggest enemy and is currently unable to provoke him.

To the south, there were Liu Bei from Yuzhou, Yuan Shu from Shouchun, and to the west, there were Zhang Xiu from Wancheng, these three bastards who took advantage of the situation. If it weren't for them, Xuzhou would have been his possession.

Going east, Xuzhou Gongsun Zan and Qingzhou Liu Zhe.

After looking around for a week, Cao Cao found that he was surrounded on all sides, and it was very difficult to break the encirclement.

Not only that, there are strong enemies around him outside, and the shit-making stick of old man Wang Yun, who competes with him in the court every day, making his first pain day by day.

After seeing Cao Cao happy for a while, Cheng Yu frowned, and he knew that Cao Cao was having a headache.

As a smart person, Bucheng Yu knew the way to be a minister. Although he knew what Cao Cao was having a headache, he sometimes could not show too sharply. So he asked, "Lord, what are the worries?"

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu and sighed: "Hey, internal and external affairs are sleepy!"

All of the people here are Cao Cao's confidants, and Cao Cao is not afraid to hide it from them. He said, "Now, the old guy Wang Yun is against me everywhere, and there are strong enemies around him."

Cao Cao paused and continued: "Especially now that Liu Zhe calmly rectifies his strength in the north, and I am still trapped in internal struggle. How can I fight against Liu Zhe in the future?"

As soon as these words were said, Cao Cao's other aides were silent. Compared to Cao Cao, Liu Zhe's situation was really good.

Liu Zhe had a word of nothing, and no one could compete with him. His subordinates followed his orders and his territory was very superior, without any strong enemies.

"Master, why bother to worry too much?"

Cao Hong was dissatisfied. When he saw the crowd of people in the room, he jumped out and said, "Can an old man be able to defeat my blade?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard this. It would be great if he could kill Wang Yun directly with one knife. How could he have to wait until now? It is easy to kill Wang Yun, but it is difficult to recover afterwards.

Especially Cao Cao's reputation has been greatly damaged. If he kills Wang Yun, will he still have a reputation?

"Zi Lian (Cao Hong's name) is back." Cao Cao waved his hand, not ready to accept this suggestion.

However, at this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly spoke out: "Lord, I think General Zilian is right."

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at Cheng Yu in surprise. If it was just Cao Hong's suggestion, Cao Cao could ignore it, but if even Cheng Yu thought this was feasible, then Cao Cao would have to pay attention to it.

"Lord, the Wang family has been destroyed by Liu Taiwei. It is no longer good for Wang Situ and Liu Taiwei. The lord might as well send good intentions to Wang Situ and express his willingness to live in peace with him."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu had a sneer on his face, and even a hint of cruelty, saying, "But, if Wang Situ is not willing, the lord might as well cut the mess quickly. We have no time to waste it with him. Wang Situ is not a stupid person. Liu Zhe destroyed the Wang family and broke with him. He lost foreign aid. If he continues to fight with his lord, he must be the one who fails."

"But if Wang Situ is killed, the lord's reputation will be greatly damaged." Jiang Ji, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly.

Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao: "Lord, what is the loss of a little reputation? The key is to exchange for the time we develop. What's more, Wang Situ is not a stupid person, killing him is just the last step."

After listening to it, Cao Cao finally nodded slowly after a while. He was awakened by Cheng Yu's words. Cao Cao realized that he had been bound by too many things before, and this world cannot be obtained by a good reputation.

"Well, Zi Lian, help me invite Wang Situ to come." Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong in a deep voice. Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao's expression, and he focused his head and understood what Cao Cao meant. If Wang Yun refused to come, then use tough means to invite him.

After Cao Hong received the order, he took his men out and went straight to Wang Yun's mansion.
