Chapter 479: Yuan Shao's Meeting
So at this time, even Sima Yi had to admit in his heart that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were stronger than him! Of course, it's just this time, and what the future will hold is not clear!
Hehe, I'm so lucky! Such a person worthy of learning can actually meet him so early, God really favors him Sima Yi! Learn from others' strengths and make up for your own shortcomings. Sima Yi has always firmly believed that sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters. Whether it is a friend or an enemy, when others keep shining brightly, he Sima Yi only needs to hide in the dark and study with an open mind! Of course, what Hu Zhao said also makes sense, when the tree is at its weakest, even if the knife has not been sharpened, if you go forward to cut it, it can have a miraculous effect.
But the ups and downs of the world, the withering of plants and trees, and now that the troubled times have risen, there are many opportunities. He Sima Yi only needs to continue to sharpen the knife, not this time, then wait for the next time, one day, there will be him Sima Yi sharpened the knife, and the trees are the weakest moment! Even if there are no absolutes, Sima Yi believes that it will be better at that time than now!
A really good disciple will never fully receive everything from the teacher. Sima Yi is already out of school!
Just when Sima Yi admired Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in his heart, Zhou Yu also commented on Sima Yi in his heart. In just a moment, he can grasp our true intentions, and he must have thought more than he said. Such a character will inevitably not be a thing in the pool in the future, but unfortunately, it has been invested in Guo Jia's hands.
Sima Yi, yes, if you want to come to Cao Ying, there will soon be a new star rising. And this Sima Yi is Guo Jia's cronies, and it seems that Guo Jia's position in Cao Ying will definitely become more and more stable. Put a long line and catch big fish. Today's events don't seem to be a loss at all.
"Oh. That's right. Since I want to pretend that the old family in Xiabangqiao successfully transferred to Juancheng, but I came here this time. The manpower brought is limited, it is better to go to Lujiang City first, if you can borrow some strength, it is better to explain to the generals and others in Yuan Shu. Sima Yi said suddenly, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, cough cough, in short, since there is no danger here, it is even unexpectedly smooth. Then Sima Yi naturally thought about solving Liu Ye's matter as well.
Although going back to the business like this is enough to satisfy Guo Jia, but just like what Sima Yi thought in his heart before, Sima Yi himself has a somewhat perfectionist character, and since he has the opportunity to do it, Sima Yi is naturally willing to give it a try.
And it's a very natural thing. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, Cao Cao is the enemy of Yuan Shu, and now Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Lujiang. Then Sima Yi entered the Lujiang River, persuaded Liu Ye, and then took Liu Ye out of the city, and then took Qiao Xuan's family. Return to Yanzhou. In Yuan Shu's eyes, it would be Lujiang who colluded with Cao Cao, and then he couldn't hold it. ran to Cao Cao, and by the way, snatched Guo Jia's fiancΓ©e back from Sun Ce.
"This ......" Zhou Yu looked at Sima Yi seriously. Sima Yi suddenly brought up this kind of thing at this time, and it would definitely not be as simple as he said. He must have some secret mission when he went to Lujiang, and Guo Jia should have explained some other things for Sima Yi to do. However, it is obviously impossible for Zhou Yu to ask directly. Moreover, Sima Yi will come out of Lujiang to take the Qiao family with him later, and it is absolutely impossible for him to run to help Lujiang.
Since it shouldn't have much impact on their war, there was no need for Zhou Yu to care too much. So Zhou Yu nodded and said,
"It's okay, but since Sima Gongzi is going to enter Lujiang, can you help us with some small favors by the way?"
"Although Lord Zhou speaks, he will do his best!" Sima Yi replied, it should be nothing more than asking him to help find out the information, or pass on the information
Jizhou, Yecheng, Yuan Shao's internal meeting,
"I'm going to send troops to aid Cao Cao again, what do you think?" Yuan Shao said.
Feng Ji stepped forward and said,
"The subordinates believe that there is no need at all. Since we didn't do it before, why should we help now? At this time, Cao Cao will not remember much of our affection at all, and it is not worth sending troops at all. β
Tian Feng also seconded the proposal,
"The subordinates also believe that this is simply a waste of money and labor. Instead of wasting manpower and material resources in vain, it is better to take the opportunity to build the interior of Jizhou, how many of us were affected by the previous locust plague. β
Guo Tu next to him suddenly disdained in his heart and said: Two fools! Didn't you see that the lord showed his own attitude from the beginning! is still directly opposed! Feng Ji is just that, and his words are more or less tactful, especially that Tian Feng, who actually opened his mouth to work hard and hurt money, isn't this scolding the decision-maker of the lord!
So Guo Tu immediately stepped forward and said,
But his subordinates disagreed. According to our subordinates, this time we can not only send troops, but even need to send troops! β
"Oh? Let's hear it! Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.
Guo Tu was proud for a while, look, look, although Yuan Shao's face didn't change just now, he didn't have any reply at all, and now Yuan Shao immediately spoke, which is better and which is worse, isn't it clear at a glance!
Seriously, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's insistence on his balanced strategy in his heart, Guo Tu would definitely have overpowered Tian Feng and the others by now!
"Perhaps, as the two of them said before, even if we go to help this time, Cao Cao may not be grateful to us in his heart. But this can block the mouths of the world, if we don't help all the time, won't it be considered a vain for the feelings of the allies! And if we help this time, it will let people know that we really couldn't spare our hands last time, not that we didn't want to help. β
Guo Tu said,
"Moreover, now that Gongsun Chan has won Liu Yu, after our battle with Gongsun Zhan, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not encounter some accidents, maybe there will be some trouble in the rear, and then Cao Cao may send troops to help us. For these two reasons, I think it is possible to send troops. β
"Oh? In other words, is there any better reason for 'the need to send troops'? Yuan Shao asked curiously, in fact, the two points Guo Tu said above are exactly what Yuan Shao thought, you must know that Yuan Shao is a person who likes fame very much, so for the first consideration alone, Yuan Shao has almost decided to help Cao Cao.
"Actually, judging from the current situation, as long as Cao Cao didn't take Xuzhou, we don't have to worry about Cao Cao's threat at all! But is that Liu Bei in Xuzhou really Cao Cao's opponent? Apparently not! Moreover, Liu Bei also stupidly fell for Cao Cao's tricks and occupied the treasure land of Xuzhou in vain, but there was no chance of development and growth. In this way, after Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, then Xuzhou would soon fall into Cao Cao's hands. Would the lord like to see such a situation?! Guo Tu asked loudly.
The people present were all smart people, and naturally knew that Guo Tu had something to say, and no one would stupidly run out and ask: In that case, why do you still want to help Cao Cao? (To be continued......)
