What he said made sense, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Cao Cao also found it very interesting, and he was very curious and nodded to signal Sima Yi to continue.
"Oh, it's interesting. It's really interesting. Sir, please continue. I'm all ears!"
"It seems that Cao Cao took the bait. If this is the case, then Sima Yi will no longer be polite, and there is no need to continue to ink!"
Seeing the performance of Cao Cao and everyone else, Sima Yi looked very proud and sighed quietly in his heart. Then he spoke in astonishing words in front of Cao Cao and in front of his subordinates and generals without any hesitation.
"In view of this, Wei Chen suggested that the lord personally lead an army to attack Yuzhou, cut off Liu Bei's return route, hold Yuzhou in our hands, further accumulate strength, and finally have a showdown with Yuan Shao!"
"What, to sneak attack Liu Bei, attack Yuzhou, and cut off Liu Bei's retreat?"
"Liu Bei is not our ally? If we do this, won't we kill each other?"
"This is a stupid move. If you do this, wouldn't it make the enemy laugh?"
After hearing what Sima Yi said, there was not much movement among the generals. After all, for them, attacking Yuan Shao and attacking Liu Bei were the same. They were both enemies anyway, and they could attack anyone. As long as Cao Cao gives the order, they can go up the sword mountain or go down the frying pan.
As for the civil servants, except for Xun You who frowned, they did not speak immediately, as if they were thinking about the pros and cons of doing so. Cheng Yu, on the other hand, had shiny glasses and seemed a bit like-minded. It's just that Cao Cao hasn't spoken yet, and he can't say much. He just waits quietly.
As for Cao Cao, he didn't know what he was thinking. He just watched this scene happily. He was not in a hurry to express his opinions and attitudes. Instead, he seemed to be on the sidelines, waiting to hear the discussions among his subordinates.
The remaining civil servants naturally did not disappoint Cao Cao. After Sima Yi's suggestion came out, they started talking about it. There were those who agreed, and even more those who objected. Anyway, there was a huge crowd and it seemed very lively.
The most opposed ones are Jiang Ji, the successor of Xi Zhicai, Jiang Ji and Jiang Zitong, who are known as the geniuses of the world. He strongly disagreed with Sima Yi's suggestion. Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, he stood up and spoke out to express his own opinions.
"No, this plan is never feasible. Today, the person competing with the lord for the identity of the northern hegemon is Yuan Shaoye of Jizhou, and Liu Bei is also an ally. Now in the period of alliance, the lord leads an army to sneak attack on Yuzhou, which is equivalent to giving Liu Bei To stab someone in the back is unethical and unethical, and is something that a wise man would not do. If I object to this, my lord, please don't listen to me!"
"Besides, we may not gain much benefit from this move, and it will offend Liu Bei of Yuzhou, which is equivalent to losing this ally. This is not cost-effective, and it is not in line with etiquette and morality. It will also be ridiculed by the people of the world, and it must not be done. Okay. Please don't listen, my lord, this is a good plan!" After saying this, Jiang Ji bowed to Cao Cao again to show his attitude. The fastest updated Qiqi /
"What Mr. Jiang Ji said is absolutely true. Such words are indeed unreasonable and will give people the appearance of taking advantage of someone else's misfortune. Please give me a holy judgment, my lord!"
"What Brother Zitong said is absolutely true, but the ministers are also opposed to it. This is definitely not possible. Please don't listen, my lord!"
"That's true. Not only does this move have no benefits, it will also put our army at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion. It will benefit the enemy but not us. This is absolutely not allowed!"
"Haha, it seems that the new Jiang Ji is nothing more than that. He is said to be Xi Zhicai's successor. However, as for these counselors who have spoken out against it, they are just making up their words and are not a threat at all!"
Hearing these objections, Sima Yi became even more disdainful. He glanced at them with disdain, including Jiang Jilai, the genius of the world, and couldn't help but laugh with great contempt.
After that, Sima Yi had no intention of speaking, let alone explaining. He just turned his attention to the remaining two Xun You and Cheng Yu, waiting for their answers. This was also a challenge to them. After all, they were ministers of letters. However, Sima Yi still wanted to test their quality first.
"Haha, I hope these two gentlemen will not disappoint Zhongda. If they are too disappointed, it will be meaningless at all!"
"Hahaha, the next step will be interesting, let's wait and see!" After taking in all these, Cao Cao felt even more interesting, but he still said nothing and continued to watch these with interest.
The scene came to a standstill for a while. If no one spoke, it would be really embarrassing, and it would completely destroy the previous harmonious atmosphere, which is not conducive to the unity of the Lord's subordinates, not to mention the subsequent discussion.
It was precisely because of such worries and to ease the atmosphere that Cheng Yu, who hated evil and was outspoken, couldn't sit still. After Jiang Ji finished speaking, Cheng Yu stood up and objected.
"Mr. Jiang Ji's words are wrong. Cheng Yu objects and will never agree to this!"
"Ah, what?"
"Mr. Cheng Yu objects, what's going on?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's obvious objection, not only did Jiang Ji not expect this, but everyone else also looked in disbelief. No one, including Cao Cao, expected that Cheng Yu would agree with Sima Yi's opinion.
As if seeing everyone's surprise and trying to clear up the doubts of his lord Cao Cao, Cheng Yu continued to explain his attitude without any delay or hesitation. Qiqi's first release on the entire network
"My lord Mingjian, in this world, the only one who can compete with Yuan Shao is the lord. As for Liu Bei and Lu Bu, they are just rubbish. We can't count on them in the first place, so we might as well collect some benefits first. If we wait for Yuan Shao's army to react, after After defeating them, we will seize these territories. If we go to conquer them again at that time, not only will we not get any benefits, but we will also lose our troops and generals, which is something that a wise man will not take!"
Having said this, Cheng Yu paused for a moment and saw that everyone was looking thoughtful, especially the Lord Cao Cao, who kept nodding his head. It was obvious from a glance that he was very satisfied, otherwise, he would definitely not be like this.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu was naturally overjoyed and struck while the iron was hot. He heard Cheng Yu continue to explain, "Therefore, after having these reasons, the minister also suggested that the lord go to harass Yuzhou and capture Yuzhou in one fell swoop while Liu Bei was busy with himself. . Then after the battle between Lu Bu's army and the Qingzhou army ended in defeat, the lord's army simply brought Xuzhou under the lord's command, and finally integrated the power of the three states, and relied on the power of the three states to compete with Yuan Shao for the world. So. What a waste of time!"
