Cao Cao withdrew from Xiangyang before and gave Xiangyang and other places to Liu Bei, while he firmly occupied Fancheng, Wancheng and other important cities.
But relying on the foundation he left behind, Liu Bei followed Cao Cao's retreat and regained control of Xinye and other places. Cao Cao was worried about Xu Du's safety at the time and ignored Liu Bei's behavior of taking advantage of the situation.
Liu Bei still occupies more than ten large and small cities north of the Han River, with tens of thousands of people.
If Liu Bei definitely agrees to hand over these cities and people to Cao Cao, among other things, with these people, Cao Cao can recruit at least hundreds or even thousands of soldiers.
"Is this true?" Cao Cao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked calmly.
"Of course we take it seriously," Yi Ji said.
"You don't need to go back and discuss it with Uncle Liu Huang?"
Cao Cao asked: "Can you make the decision?"
"My lord has already told me that I can agree to whatever the King of Wei proposes," Yi Ji said.
Cao Cao didn¡¯t believe this. If he made some other requests, Yi Ji might not dare to agree.
Zhang Hong was so angry next to him that he wanted to throw the wine in his hand at Yi Ji's face.
Yiji agreed to Cao Cao's offer and forced him to a desperate end.
"I admire Uncle Liu Huang for his benevolence and righteousness." After Cao Cao got the benefit, he naturally had to say something nice.
"The King of Wei."
Yi Ji's expression was indifferent, and he felt unhappy. He said to Cao Cao: "I hope the King of Wei can say more kind words to the emperor for my lord."
"Mr. Ji Bo, please rest assured about this."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "I support Uncle Liu to be crowned king. When the time comes, I will personally submit a letter to ask the emperor to confer Uncle Liu on the throne."
Yi Ji nodded and sat down with an unhappy expression.
Although he agreed to Cao Cao on behalf of Liu Bei, he would still have a headache when he returned. He would have to give up tens of thousands of people. This was a very difficult decision for Liu Bei.
However, Yi Ji felt that it was worth it for the title of king, and what Liu Bei was going to do next would not allow Liu Bei to be disturbed. Simply withdraw from the area north of the Han River and temporarily focus on the direction of Yizhou.
Of course, these are Yi Ji¡¯s temporary thoughts. As for what will happen then, Liu Bei will have to make the final decision.
"Mr. Zigang, what do you think?"
Yi Ji agreed, and Cao Cao began to look at Zhang Hong, putting pressure on Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong¡¯s hand holding the wine bottle also had veins popping out. He was not excited, but confused. Looking at Yi Ji who was sitting down and drinking wine leisurely, Zhang Hong's urge to drink became even stronger.
"Old, I agree." Zhang Hong had to bow his head.
Yi Ji agreed to cede territory to others. If he objected, it is estimated that Liu Bei would be crowned king this time, and he would return empty-handed.
"What are you agreeing to?" Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask. He wanted Zhang Hong to say exactly that he wanted to hand over the land and people.
There was one more person Zhang Hong wanted to throw wine at. He glared angrily at Cheng Yu and was about to speak.
Cheng Yu spoke up again: "Mr. Zigang, the area from Lujiang to Liyang is where the conflicts between our soldiers and yours are taking place."
After Zhang Hong heard this, he wanted to throw the wine but couldn't, so he just drank it in one gulp.
The range Cheng Yu mentioned was too large, far more than twice the area Liu Bei wanted to hand over.
"The King of Wei."
After Zhang Hong finished the wine in the wine bottle, he hurriedly said: "Wuhou is willing to hand over Shucheng, Chaoxian and other places to the imperial court to send people to manage them."
Zhang Hong was worried that if he spoke too slowly, he would have to hand over more places.
But even so, if what Zhang Hong said is true, Sun Quan's loss was much larger than that of Liu Bei, and his city might be less than that of Liu Bei, but his population was much larger, at least tens of thousands more. .
"Is this what Wu Hou means?"
Cao Cao wanted to laugh out loud to vent his anger. He held back the ecstasy in his heart and asked calmly without surprise or joy on his face.
"Yes." Zhang Hong almost broke his own teeth.
"Wu Hou only hopes that King Wei can help more when the time comes." Zhang Hong said.
"Don't worry, I have an old relationship with Wentai, and the Marquis of Wu is a junior to me. How can I not help my nephew?" Cao Cao laughed.
Zhang ?I despised him in my heart for being so obedient even though I got an advantage, and even took advantage of Sun Quan.
"Don't worry, you two."
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he got what he wanted. With a smile on his face, he said to Yiji Zhang Hong: "I will definitely ask the emperor to confer Liu Huangshu and Wu Hou as kings. When the time comes, the angels will go to Xiangyang respectively after receiving the emperor's order. With Jianye.¡±
cunning! Yi Ji and Zhang Hong despised Cao Cao in their hearts.
This means that Liu Bei and Sun Quan must hand over what Cao Cao wants before the imperial envoys canonize them as kings.
But no matter what, at least Cao Cao agreed, and Yi Ji and Zhang Hong had temporarily completed their mission.
Yi Ji and Zhang Hong looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
However, Yi Ji found that Zhang Hong had some other meanings in his eyes.
Before Yiji had time to figure out what it meant, Zhang Hong spoke up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
