    If you want to die, don't hold me back.  Yang Xiu was so angry that he had the urge to go up and sew Sima Yi's mouth shut.

    Sima Yi did not notice Yang Xiu's expression, but even if he noticed it, he would not pay attention to it. He continued: "In the past, Liu Zhe's sphere of influence was mainly north of the Yellow River, and he later captured Yongzhou and Liangzhou.  But he never reached deep into the south or attacked other places. Just like Xuzhou, even when Gongsun Zan was fighting with the prime minister, Liu Zhe did not take advantage of it. But now, Liu Zhe has taken the initiative to capture Hanzhong. Does this mean that Liu Zhe  Are you tired of waiting and start taking action on others?¡±

    "Liu Bei's strength is weak. Even though Sun Quan is in control of Jiangdong, his strength is not even as good as that of the prime minister. The two of them cannot be Liu Zhe's opponents."

    Sima Yi glanced at Cao Cao, paused, and continued: "Even the prime minister is not Liu Zhe's opponent. Once Liu Zhe sends his army south, who in the world can resist him?"

    With Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao's face became darker and darker, and he even felt that there were needle points under his buttocks, making it very uncomfortable to sit.

    Sima Yi¡¯s words made him feel like his scar was being opened, revealing the bloody flesh and blood inside, which was extremely painful.

    I have always thought that Cao Cao knew in his heart that he was not as strong as Liu Zhe. His subordinates also knew this, but few would say it.

    Now that Sima Yi said it, Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable.

    At the same time, Sima Yi¡¯s words also awakened Cao Cao. Is Liu Zhe going to take action?  In the past, Liu Zhe did not take the initiative. Even Yongzhou and Liangzhou were taken away because he wanted to test Liu Zhe, but was severely punished by Liu Zhe.

    In addition, Liu Zhe did not show any interest in the Central Plains area south of the Yellow River, which gave Cao Cao an illusion.

    Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Liu Zhe had no interest in other places.

    Now, Liu Zhe took advantage of him to go south to deal with Liu Bei, and took the initiative to lead his troops to attack and take Hanzhong into his hands.

    As Sima Yi said, what does Liu Zhe want to do next?  Have you started competing in the world?  Who is the next target?

    Is it Gongsun Zan who retreated to Guangling?  Is it Liu Zhang from Yizhou?  Or is he the one who occupies the Central Plains?

    With Liu Zhe's strength, he marched his army south. Cao Cao felt that he didn't know how to resist Liu Zhe's army unless he used the emperor as a shield.  Cao Cao still remembers the fear of Liu Zhe's army of one million.

    "So, I think"

    Sima Yi waited until Cao Cao looked much better before he continued: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan also saw this. Once Liu Zhe goes south, the Prime Minister will bear the brunt. Therefore, they must take advantage of this and actively seek peace and alliance to make the Prime Minister stop attacking them.  Take action.¡±

    Cao Cao nodded slightly, Sima Yi¡¯s analysis made sense.

    Liu Bei was beaten by him and could only retreat to Jiangxia. Sun Quan was also worried that Cao Cao would defeat Liu Bei and then cross the river to attack him.  So the two took the initiative to join forces with Cao Cao, which was actually asking for peace.

    If Cao Cao continues to attack Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and Liu Zhe suddenly sends troops to Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will be attacked from both sides.

    Cao Cao also considered this issue, and he was also very worried.  Therefore, he would not refuse to meet Liu Bei and Sun Quan outright.

    At that time, Cao Cao mistakenly believed that Liu Zhe needed a lot of supplies because Liu Xin went to sea, so Liu Zhe did not have enough supplies to send troops again, so he went south with confidence.

    As a result, after he went south, Liu Zhe sent troops to annex Hanzhong, and there was no sign of being unable to send troops due to lack of supplies.

    And now that Liu Zhe has returned to Youzhou, Cao Cao is still in the south. If he attacks Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and Liu Zhe sends troops to attack him, then Cao Cao will definitely lose.

    "Zhongda, what do you think?" Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked Sima Yi for his opinion.

    Yang Xiu felt unhappy when he saw that Cao Cao didn't ask about him, and his face was ugly, which rivaled Cao Cao's.

    "My subordinates feel that if Liu Bei and Sun Quan want to unite with the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister might as well unite with them." Sima Yi bowed.

    "Huh, if it's true that they are using the Prime Minister as you said, you actually want the Prime Minister to join forces with them? What are your intentions?" Yang Xiu asked again.

    Cao Cao looked unhappy. Before he could say anything, Yang Xiu hurriedly spoke out. This is not the attitude that a subordinate should have.

    However, what Yang Xiu said still made some sense, so he looked at Sima Yi, wanting to see Sima Yi's answer.

    "Prime Minister."

    Sima Yi originally didn¡¯t want to pay attention to Yang Xiu, but now that Cao Cao is looking at him, heHe could only answer aloud, and said: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan want to join forces with the Prime Minister. Their purpose is to take advantage of the Prime Minister, but in turn, the Prime Minister can also take advantage of them."

    ¡°Joining forces with them can make them relax their vigilance. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can take advantage of them to relax their vigilance and attack them.¡±

    "Moreover, my subordinates just now suggested that the Prime Minister return to Xiangyang and let Liu Bei and Sun Quan fight. The Prime Minister unites with them to make them feel at ease. In the future, he can win over one, beat another, and alienate the two."

    Cao Cao nodded, Sima Yi's words came to his heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
