    Of course, this is not surprising. As for Chen Gong's wisdom, Cao Cao was convinced, but the other party broke out from him because of the issue of side concessions and Xuzhou.  This also makes it difficult for Chen Gong to look back. Even if Cao Cao has admitted his mistake, after all, "there was a time when the sea was difficult to overcome." With Chen Gong's integrity, it is impossible to bow down. If Chen Gong does not bow down, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun will turn to Cao Cao.  The possibility is incredibly low.  In addition, Lu Qiling seems to be still clinging to Zhao Yun. Cao Cao has basically given up hope on these two guys. But even if he doesn't give up hope, Cao Cao should be unwilling to give in, and now there is a chance that I can't get it, and you can't get it either.  , Cao Cao was still happy to take action.  "Is that so? I originally thought Mr. Cao meant that one of the three of us would be one of the three." Chen Xi said with a hint of teasing. Cao Cao's expression basically didn't change when he heard this.  "It seems that Cao Cao will not agree. Well, if General Zhang and the others agree, we will not refuse." Seeing that Cao Cao's expression did not change, Chen Xi made a helpless look and shook his head and said, "It's just us.  In addition to this wave, other people will be sent, Mr. Cao, won¡¯t you send some people? " Cao Cao looked hesitant when he heard this. He had been teased by Chen Xi before, but his expression remained unchanged. His original intention was to be teased by Chen Xi.  And he himself had no real losses, so he didn't expect that Chen Xi would still be unreasonable and unforgiving.  "I plan to send Kong Ming to the Western Regions to coordinate on my behalf. What do you think, Mr. Cao?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Although Chen Gongtai is powerful, after all, someone needs to be in charge." Cao Cao sneered when he heard this. Although what Chen Xi said was indeed good,  But in this current situation, it is indeed a bit aggressive.  "But after all, Liu Bei's forces have already done this in front of him. If he doesn't take a step back, Cao Cao also knows that what he talked about before will basically go away.  "How about Sima Zhongda? I sent Sima Zhongda and Cao Zidan to the Western Regions." Cao Cao thought for a moment and made up his mind. Since it is impossible to pretend that he can't see it, the most correct thing to do is to find a way to stop the loss.  "Hey, it's really a good idea." Chen Xi said with a hint of sarcasm. This time it was a real sarcasm, because Cao Cao's words were too obvious. To put it bluntly, he was trying to cash in on the unstable chess piece of Sima Yi.  Get rid of Zhuge Liang, and then use Cao Zhen, a relatively good second generation, to lure Liu Bei's even better second generation.  "Let Chang Wen go. Chang Wen and Kong Ming have a tacit understanding of each other. The two of them can be compared to half a military spirit army. The Western Region is not that easy. To ensure safety is the first priority." Liu Bei, who was holding tea at the side, said slowly.  "In this case, it can't just be us, Sun Bofu should also be included." Chen Xi asked with squinted eyes. Cao Cao hesitated and nodded. After all, they invested so many resources, how could Sun Ce  Standing aside.  "Including Sun Bofu, how can we favor one over the other?" Liu Bei couldn't help but have another look on his face. Chen Xi was really not trying to trick Cao Cao, but also Sun Ce and the others.  "What about the troops sent?" Chen Xi stared at Cao Cao and began to pursue him fiercely. "At least there should be one legion. Otherwise, I really feel sorry for it." Cao Cao thought about it while silently calculating, for fear of being beaten by Chen Xi  He was caught taking advantage of himself, but overall it was good. At least from Cao Cao's perspective, it could block the opportunity for Chen Gong and others to defect to Liu Bei, and he could rely on the unstable Sima Yi and the immature Cao Zhen.  Cao Cao actually felt it was worth it to hold Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan.  "But in this case, Liu Xuande actually invested three inner Qi detached bodies, two wise men with spiritual talents, and even one and a half military souls in the Western Region. What is the significance of such a large investment?  ¡¿Cao Cao inexplicably began to think about this aspect.  "Actually, I'm curious, Zichuan, is it worth investing so much in the Western Region?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Xi thoughtfully, but Chen Xi's expression was unmoved.  "It's not a question of whether it's worth it, but because I want to plan further and for a longer period of time. The Western Regions to us now is like Baiyue in the time of the First Emperor. We obviously don't have the half-million-strong army like the First Emperor.  "The ability to achieve even-level transformation." Chen Xi said with a calm expression, "And if you want to make it local, the investment must not be small." Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, although he still felt that the investment was a bit too high.  Thinking about the investment of the First Emperor in Ping Baiyue, Chen Xi's current investment is indeed nothing, and what Chen Xi is doing now is indeed planning for the future.  "But you are sure to invest like this. These manpower and material resources are not a joke. If you invest like this, we will be the ones who get the advantage in the end." Cao Cao suddenly changed his tone and said in a complacent tone, but found that Chen Xi's expression  usual.    [Although Chen Zichuan can be arrogant at times, he has never lost his reputation of being prepared for a rainy day under any circumstances. In other words, he has absolute confidence. Will the chess he plays now be used by me?  It's really arrogant.  ¡¿Cao Cao cursed secretly in his heart.  "Hmph, are you so confident? I, Cao Cao, am not a vegetarian. Even if I lose the first move, even if I can't defeat you, I will definitely make it difficult for you to defeat me.  ¡¿Cao Cao couldn't help but make up his mind.  "You don't need to worry about these things, Duke Cao. Duke Cao should be more concerned about how Duke Cao will deal with us in the coming year when we leave Chang'an in three months." The corner of Chen Xi's mouth twitched. He had already seen Cao Cao and Sun Ce who would have no choice but to let go next year.  .  "Do you think I don't know that you are collecting intelligence from all over the place? We are also taking advantage of now to collect your intelligence, because recently we will summon senior officials from various states and counties to Chang'an for a court meeting, and it is much easier for us to collect your intelligence than before.  "Cao Cao said casually, now these things are on the surface.  "We can change three times a day under our rule, but I believe Xun Wenruo definitely doesn't have this ability. Although he is indeed powerful, he is not as good as me in this aspect." Chen Xi spread his hands with an indifferent expression, "And I know  The more you read, the more afraid you are. Sometimes ignorance is what supports you in fighting. " Cao Cao's face turned dark when he heard this. Such ridicule really made him unhappy, but Cao Cao still held back. He just thought that his previous move was too dark, which made him feel uncomfortable.  Chen Xi was unhappy and didn't delve too deeply into it, but he didn't know that Chen Xi's words were not just words, they were true!  "Okay, okay, Zichuan's two squeezes are enough." Liu Bei calmed things down expressionlessly, and Cao Cao's expression became even more unhappy.
