Chapter 440 Natural Enemy?

But this person looks very strange, with the eagle watching the wolf's steps, and his eyes can take care of himself. For some reason, Zhuge Liang just doesn't like this guy who is about two years old.

Simply ignoring him, he said: "This time Zhou Yu's memorial is a bit strange. First, it is the point that Mr. Xun You mentioned. The second is that besides Liu Yan, there seems to be another matter mentioned in the memorial."

Cao Cao glanced at the man who had answered the conversation before. He had the same feeling as Zhuge Liang about this man, and he didn't like him at all.

"Apart from Zhou Yu's intentional targeting of Yuan Shu, what else is going on?"

Zhuge Liang said: "There is something in Zhou Yu's words. He vaguely mentioned that besides Liu Yan and Yuan Shu, there seems to be another force involved."

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he said: "That's right, Zhou Yu mentioned in the memorial that some reckless people with ulterior motives supported Liu Yan, which directly led to Liu Yan becoming emperor."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, as I mentioned just now, Zhou Yu doesn't have the ability to shoot left and right. Although Liu Yan is nothing to worry about, Yuan Shu and his own situation are already exhausted, so what?" Can it be done at the same time? It is very likely that the ulterior motives mentioned here are his first goal."

Cao Cao suddenly realized, and said: "So Zhou Yu will design to lure Yuan Shu to conflict with these reckless?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Maybe, maybe not, but one thing is for sure, Zhou Yu believes that he already has the strength to go north, and within half a year, he will definitely fight Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, but said, "But Wu Ming probably won't take the initiative to make things difficult for me."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Of course he won't, he still wants to use the Lord's soldiers to resist the Wanyan's soldiers, how can he be trapped?"

Cao Cao had an idea: "I see, Wu Ming has never thought about conflicting with our army now, nor has Zhou Yu thought about it, his goal is Tao Qian!"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "That's right, if Zhou Yu wants to move Yuan Shu, it will inevitably involve the interests of the surrounding princes. My lord has a quarrel with him, and Yuan Shu will naturally not ask for help. Only Tao Qian, who is worried about Yuan Shu's destruction, Zhou Yu will take advantage of the situation to kill his If Xuzhou is captured, troops will definitely be sent to support it!"

Pang Tong saw that it was almost done. After all, Zhuge Liang had just been recommended, and it was already against the rules to sit under him, so it was better not to show too much edge.

He hurriedly said: "From this point of view, this matter is likely to be true."

Cao Cao hummed, thought for a while and said, "Let's have a discussion about how we should go next."

At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly said: "Wu Ming acts wildly and unconstrainedly, but every time he sends troops there is a reason. Zhou Yu naturally knows this, so he planned to pull Tao Qian down. But in order to avoid conflicts with our army, why not disrupt his plan ?”

Xun You said: "It's a good idea. We can send lobbyists to Xuzhou to tell Tao Qian how powerful he is. Tao Qian has some scruples, so he probably wouldn't take the risk to support Yuan Shu."

Suddenly, Sima Yi stood up and said, "Instead of persuading Tao Qian, which has an uncertain end, it is better to send troops directly and take Xuzhou as our own."

"Keep it your own?"

Sima Yi's words completely blew up the pot. For a while, everyone whispered to each other, discussing the strength of it.

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Do you know that our army has just entered Luoyang, if we point our troops at Xuzhou again, how will the people of the world talk about our lord, this civil and military official?"

Sima Yi sneered and said, "Even if Tao Qian didn't support Yuan Shu and gave Zhou Yu an excuse to send troops, wouldn't there be another way? In the Spring and Autumn Period, how many people asked the monarch for his opinion when sending troops?"

Zhuge Liang said anxiously: "But the reputation of the lord will definitely be affected. Tao Qian is a great sage in the world, and Wu Ming has the support of great scholars such as Zheng Xuan. Naturally, he will not be jealous and hated by the disciples of the world, but the lord is different!"

Sima Yi stared at him and said, "Different? What's the difference? All you need is a transfer order. Tao Qian is already old and can be transferred to Luoyang as one of the three princes. It just so happens that Yuan Shu's criminal evidence is not mentioned in Zhou Yu's memorial, so you only need to seal it." The former general Yuan Shu is the governor of Xuzhou, and the overall situation is settled."

Zhuge Liang pretended to be hesitant and said: "But Yuan Shu has no achievements in recent years, how can he be awarded? His Majesty will not agree..."

Sima Yi's murderous intent disappeared in a flash, and he said: "The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world. Just give him a mere governor, and he can't sit still. Why bother to be indecisive? Besides, Zhou Yu wants to move Yuan Shu, so naturally he has to do it." There is evidence, when Xuzhou is in Yuan Shu's hands, and Zhou Yu helped us collect evidence, Zhou Yu may not be the only one who sent soldiers to Xuzhou!"

"This this……"

Zhuge Liang had two beads of cold sweat on his forehead and retreated obediently. Only Pang Tong glanced at him meaningfully.

Cao Cao saw that Zhuge Liang retreated, and said, "What do you guys think of Sima Yi's proposal?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Xun You, the military advisor, came out and said, "You can give Yuan Shu the title of governor of Xuzhou. Even if Zhou Yu doesn't do anything, he can't grow up. The expansion of Yuan Shu's garrison can just strengthen the embarrassing situation between our army and Wu Ming. It's cheap..."

Cao Cao waited for a while and saw that he had no other opinions. In fact, he also wanted to attack Yuan Shu. Undecided.

However, seeing that most of the people kept their heads down and said nothing, if they didn't veto it, it meant they had acquiesced. In the shogunate, usually any objection would be raised in time. In a situation like this, it was tantamount to a unanimous vote.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I will go to the palace immediately to meet the Holy Majesty. The imperial decree will be issued soon. Where is Xia Houyuan?"

Xia Houyuan stepped forward with his fists clasped: "The end is here."

"I order you to dispatch your troops and horses to station at the edge of Yuzhou to monitor Yuan Shu's movements at any time."

"The order of the last general."

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi again, but after hesitating for a while, he turned to look at Zhuge Liang.

"Zhuge Kongming, when Shi Yuan recommended you, he said that you are strategizing, proficient at deploying troops, and have the talent of Guan Zhongleyi. This time, you will be dispatched as the army commander of Xiahouyuan's headquarters, accompanying the troops!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly clasped his fists together: "I obey my orders."

But when he bowed his head and retreated, Sima Yi frowned.

From his perspective, he could clearly see the smile on the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth. Not only did he give Zhuge Liang a bad feeling, Sima Yi also smelled an inexplicable smell from Zhuge Liang's body, which penetrated people.

Wisdom is like an evildoer, smart to the point where they are, every move...or every smile!It's not as simple as it seems on the surface! !
