Chapter 454: Making Peace
Although Sima Yi is talking about a way out, it is said that the current situation is as dangerous as an egg, morale is low, and it is necessary for the soldiers to unite and resist the enemy, for the sake of morale, it is not the time to talk about the way out at all, but Cao Cao also knows that what the other party said is the truth, if there is no way out, just relying on the courage of blood and courage to stick to it, in the end it is also a dead end.

"But now Liu He is aggressive, even if we want to negotiate peace, I'm afraid Liu He won't agree", Cao Cao sighed and said slowly: "Besides, if we ask the other party for peace like this, how will we save face in the future?" ”
"Lord, now, let's not talk about the problem of face, as for whether the other party will agree, it is not difficult at all, as long as the lord hands over Liu Yu to Liu He, and then sends the subordinate to negotiate, it will definitely be successful."
"Liu Yu? Zhongda, you're not kidding? Surrendering Liu Yu's body now will undoubtedly add fuel to Liu He's fire. When Cao Cao heard Sima Yi's words, he immediately said with a wry smile.
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Cao, and then said in a deep voice: "It's all now, the lord doesn't have to hide it, I already know from the son, Liu Yu is not actually dead now, the Liu Yu who was killed at the beginning is actually a death row prisoner with a similar appearance you are looking for, Yi knows that the purpose of the lord leaving Liu Yu is to blackmail Liu He to withdraw from the army, but the lord really underestimates Liu He, because Liu He is a generation of heroes, he only cares about his own power position, and does not care about his father's life and death. Otherwise, Liu Yu would not have been sent to Xudu, and the lower officials dared to guarantee that as long as you threatened Liu Yu, he would definitely lead his troops to attack the city under the pretext that loyalty and filial piety could not be both, which would have fulfilled his name of loyalty. Moreover, according to the cold eyes of the lower officials, this Liu Yu is really loyal to the Han family, let him live, and still have some restraint on Liu He, once he is dead, Liu He will be even more unscrupulous, and at that time, I am afraid that we will not even be able to move the capital. ”
When Cao Cao heard Sima Yi's words, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, thought silently for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, then I will entrust Zhongda with full authority to represent me and make peace with Liu He Xiao'er, I can promise to move the capital to Xuzhou, and only keep Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Huainan, and Qingzhou south of the river." ”
"The lord wants to keep Yuzhou, I'm afraid it's not easy, because the current Liu He army is estimated to have directly conquered most of Yuzhou, Xuzhou he can not want, but Huainan and Yuzhou must be determined, because only in this way can they be completely connected with his Jiangxia and Lujiang. So, my lord, let's be realistic, only what we can fight for, and don't fight for what we can't. ”
"That's all there is to it, everything is left to Zhongda." Although Cao Cao is unwilling, but the situation is stronger than people, now there are only seventy or eighty thousand remnants in the city of Xudu, and they are not Liu He's opponents at all, if they don't negotiate, I'm afraid they will be wiped out, and now they can win Qingxu Erzhou, which is also lucky, it's better than perishing, right?
"Please listen to the good news from the lower officials." After Cao Cao finished repairing the book, Sima Yi bowed to Cao Cao, took the letter and left calmly.
"Hehe, although Liu Yu threatened, Liu He had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but in this way, Cao Cao's loss is not big, how should I rise in the future? Therefore, I want to find a way to make Cao Cao lose his fundamental land, move the capital to Xuzhou, Xuzhou is a newly annexed territory, Cao Cao's foundation there is not stable, I am there to recruit good talents, buy the hearts of the people for my use, when the time is ripe, I will apply to lead an army to cross the country eastward, learn from Xu Fu, build a country there, there is always a place to survive, but it is no better than sitting in Xuzhou and waiting for destruction. ”
Sima Yi made up his mind, and then went out of the city to ask to see Liu He.
When Liu He heard that it was Sima Yi who asked to see him, he really wanted to see this person with the mandate of heaven, so he immediately agreed and ordered Sima Yi to be invited in.
"Under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, the military division sacrificed wine, and Sima Yi has seen the Duke of Qin." Sima Yi's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, judging from this bearing alone, he is definitely a very excellent talent, but it is a pity that such a talent is definitely unwilling to live under others for a long time and cannot be completely taken into possession of himself.
Liu He's system scanned Sima Yi's attributes, and he immediately knew Sima Yi's ability, but he knew that some things couldn't be completely based on data, so his intuition was that Sima Yi still had something he couldn't see through.
Liu He politely asked Sima Yi not to be polite, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. is doing in my camp?" ”
I saw Sima Yi say: "Xia Guan is here to congratulate the Duke of Qin, to celebrate that the Duke of Qin is about to get the Central Plains, and at the same time to celebrate Lord Lingzun's 'resurrection from the dead'......"
"You, what did you say? What comes back from the dead? When Liu He heard this, he suddenly became excited, and even his breathing was a little short, and he asked Sima Yi.
"That's the case, in fact, Lord Ling Zun is not dead, the reason why my lord of my family hyped up killing Lord Ling Zun was actually to provoke Duke Qin, so that Duke Qin attacked my lord in righteous indignation, and then my lord calmly defeated Duke Qin, alas, but unfortunately I didn't expect Duke Qin to launch an attack with an army of 300,000, and he also adopted the means of encircling but not attacking, but the result changed from passive to active, and finally led to the defeat of our army. Needless to say, Lord Ling Zun was not actually executed by my lord at the beginning, the one who died was actually a death row prisoner similar to Lord Ling Zun, and today my lord sent a subordinate to come, one is to negotiate the return of Lord Ling Zun, and the other is to negotiate the relocation of the capital of the Son of Heaven......"
"What? The Son of Heaven moved the capital? Haha, so far, Brother Meng De still wants to continue to hold the Son of Heaven hostage? My 300,000-strong army Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, is about to completely sweep away the Central Plains and welcome back the Son of Heaven, how can I let him go at this time? Liu He's eyes were full of mockery, and he sneered: "At this time, Cao Cao is still dreaming. ”
"This is not necessarily a dream, Duke Qin, please think about it, now our army still has nearly 100,000 people in Xudu City, if these 100,000 people are dispatched to fight a decisive battle with your army under the city, even if they will be defeated in the end, what kind of losses will it bring to your army? I'm afraid it can't be counted in thousands, right? Yi Su heard that the pension of the noble army was very high, and if tens of thousands of casualties were killed or injured at once, or tens of thousands, the pension alone was enough to set back the economic development of the Duke of Qin for several years. ”
Sima Yi looked around cautiously and asked Liu He to retreat left and right, then he lowered his voice and continued to Liu He: "What's more, the current battle between Sun Quan and Liu Bei Jingzhou will soon be decided, no matter who wins, the next target must be Qin Gong, if Qin Gong you lose tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops when you fight with my lord, how should you continue to fight with Sun Quan or Liu Bei at that time?" There is another point, Yi thought about it for a long time, and felt that welcoming back the Son of Heaven was a good thing for Duke Cao, but for Duke Qin, I am afraid it may not be a good thing, but it is a big trouble, after all, Duke Qin, as a clan member of the Han family, has always been under the banner of respecting the king, once the Son of Heaven is welcomed, should the power in his hands be returned to the Son of Heaven? Qin Gong also understands people, so there is no need to talk about all kinds of interests and disadvantages, right? ”
