When there was nothing left to hit, Cao Cao sat down and asked:
"How to deal with it?"
Dongyang Hou is victorious!
If Cao Cao steps forward at this time, wouldn¡¯t Sun Tzu¡¯s pretense be in vain?
"However, Cao Cao knew very well what it meant to agree to Dongyang Hou's conditions.
Let others slaughter you!
Cao Cao felt that his life was too difficult. He originally thought that after Dongyang Hou's victory, he would be quiet for two or three years. Unexpectedly, as soon as he withdrew his troops and returned to Yangzhou, the troubles began.
"My lord, my subordinates don't have any good ideas. You might as well ask Zhongda." Sima Lang said.
Sima Yi was very talented, but Cao Cao always thought he was ambitious and refused to reuse him.
But at this juncture, how can we still control so much.
"Let Zhongda come to see me." Cao Cao said.
By the time Sima Yi came to Cao Cao's study, Cao Cao had calmed down.
What he needs most now is a solution.
"Zhongda, what do you think about this matter?" Cao Cao said.
"Lord, we don't have the strength to refuse, so we might as well agree to Marquis Dongyang." Sima Yi said.
Cao Cao frowned, if things are so simple, what do you need to do?
"Tell me."
"My lord, the Marquis of Dongyang is so powerful now that it would be unwise to make an enemy of him." Sima Yi said.
"Continue talking," Cao Cao said.
"Since my lord wants to paralyze Dongyang Hou, why not paralyze him to the end? Moving the capital to Xu County is the best plan!" Sima Yi said.
"I'm not willing to accept it," Cao Cao said angrily.
"My lord, if you think about it carefully, does Xiandi have any role now?" Sima Yi said.
"The so-called coercion of the emperor to command the princes, there are not many princes left now.
Who else can you give orders to?
Needless to say, the Marquis of Dongyang began to collect tribute.
Sun Ce is aloof and has not listened to the imperial orders for a long time. If he did not have a common enemy with Cao Cao's army, he and Cao Cao would not have a common topic.
Liu Zhang was the same, hiding in Shu and enjoying the blessings. From the time of Liu Yan, the court's orders could not control Yizhou.
As for Han Sui and Ma Chao Haha, if you don't stand up and make Cao Cao angry to death, you are doing a good thing.
So Emperor Xian is no longer as valuable as before!
¡°Lord, we can still take advantage of this opportunity to strive for enough benefits and make conditions that we normally wouldn¡¯t dare to make,¡± Sima Yi said.
Want to move the capital without paying tribute?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
"What conditions do you think are suitable?" Cao Cao asked.
"My subordinates see that Xin Pi is confident. With just one deception, he can guess the bottom line of Marquis Dongyang." Sima Yi said.
Cao Cao also thought it made sense. He was so angry that he didn't consider this.
The mere condition of exempting tribute would not impress Cao Cao at all.
Xin Pi must have more than one bargaining chip in his hand.
"Then please leave it to Zhongda." Cao Cao said.
¡°Leave this matter to my subordinates,¡± Sima Yi responded.
Cao Cao¡¯s eyes flickered and he nodded.
Afterwards, Sima Yi visited Xinpi who was resting in the post house.
"Sit down!" Xin Pi said politely.
Sima Yi sat down magnanimously and said: "People in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. The conditions given by Yangzhou are too few. We cannot agree to move the capital."
So direct!
Xin Pi was not prepared at all, but he remained calm and said, "What else do you want, Prime Minister?"
"There is no danger to defend Xu County. If the Marquis of Dongyang reluctantly cedes Runan County and Chen County, the Prime Minister agrees to move the capital to Xu County." Sima Yi said.
Xinpi¡¯s eyelids twitched, obviously shocked. Do you dare to make such an excessive request?
Aren¡¯t you afraid of your lord¡¯s wrath?
But then I thought about it, moving the capital to Xu County is also an excessive thing.
"Could it be that Cao Cao is planning to make a request to make us retreat in spite of the difficulties?"
Probably!
Unfortunately, Cao Cao overestimated his own strength.
"Huh." Xin Pi snorted coldly and said, "It is impossible to hand over the territory that has been taken to others. I, the millions of soldiers in Yangzhou, will not agree."
Xinpi originally wanted to emphasize the strength of the Yangzhou Army and asked Sima Yi to reconsider.??, but Sima Yi caught the loophole and said:
"In this case, except for Runan County and Chen County, the rest of Yuzhou will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court!"
Hearing this, Xin Pi knew that he had been fooled, so he had to give up this trump card and said:
"Yangzhou has no objection."
Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he guessed it right.
"Yangzhou's armor is famous all over the world. We need 50,000 new armors to arm the city guards and defend the capital." Sima Yi said even further.
If Xinpi agrees to this condition, he will be a fool.
"I can make the decision regarding the five objects."
Sima Yi was speechless, what can the five tools do? But he also knew that this request was beyond the scope.
The two parties bargained for a while and gradually finalized the matter of moving the capital.
¡°I have to report to the lord, so I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Sima Yi said with cupped hands.
By the time Sima Yi left, Xin Pi's back was already covered in cold sweat.
This guy is difficult to deal with!
After Sima Yi came out of the posthouse, he smiled brightly and reported to Cao Cao overnight.
"That's right, I won a Yuzhou, and finally my efforts were not in vain." Cao Cao said.
"My lord, Zhang Xiu is okay, but Liu Bei is not easy to deal with." Sima Yi said.
"What's wrong with Liu Bei? He's just a small prince, how dare you resist me?" Cao Cao said.
"Of course I don't dare, but Liu Bei has Jingzhou standing behind him. My lord will still cooperate with Jingzhou in the future. This matter cannot affect the relationship between the two parties." Sima Yi said.
"What suggestions do you have?" Cao Cao asked.
"We can let Marquis Dongyang solve this problem for us!" Sima Yi said.
"That's right. Tomorrow's talks can be added to the conditions." Cao Cao said.
The reason why Sima Yi did not propose it today was because he was afraid that Xin Pi would not be able to bear it and would cause trouble.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao knew the profound meaning of Sima Yi's move. Liu Bei was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty and was close to Emperor Xian. The Marquis of Dongyang could take action to alienate each other.
There are many benefits.
The next day, Cao Cao summoned Xin Pi again and highlighted Liu Bei as an obstacle.
"Liu Xuande is the emperor's uncle recognized by His Majesty himself. It's not easy for me to expel him. When will Liu Xuande leave Yuzhou and when will the imperial court move the capital to Xu County?"
"No!" Xin Pi refused and said, "The prime minister will move the capital first, and then Yangzhou will solve Liu Bei's problem for you."
For Cao Cao, there was nothing to lose, so he agreed.
The two parties signed the document in black and white.
"Prime Minister, I have to go back and report this matter to the lord, so I'll say goodbye." Xin Pi said.
"Bon voyage." Cao Cao said politely.
When Xin Pi left, Cao Cao sighed.
"Why do you sigh, my lord?" Sima Yi asked.
"From now on, I have to live under the nose of Dongyang Hou." Cao Cao said helplessly.
"This is also the Lord's chance to stand up, isn't it?" Sima Yi said.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao finally showed a smile.
