Cessing the land is tantamount to cutting flesh on Liu Bei, which makes his heart ache, it hurts. However, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, cutting off a piece of meat can solve the dilemma in front of him, which is better than hurting the whole body, not to mention that he is really not at ease with Guan Yu in Jingzhou.

The reason why Liu Bei agreed was that he understood this truth in his heart, but he still had a sensitive guess that Zhuge Liang was consistent with his thoughts on the matter of Jingzhou, but this time he knew his intentions, but he did not propose a proposal that satisfied him.

And for this arrangement, Zhuge Liang almost blurted out that he should have thought about it in advance, in order to protect his brother. Alas, the affection between monarchs and ministers for many years is not as deep as the flesh and blood of others, so Liu Bei once again became suspicious of Zhuge Liang, and even rejected it a little.

Although Zhuge Jin failed to complete all the tasks, he finally gained something, and he didn't mention any safety issues for the whole family, said goodbye happily, and then returned to Sun Quan, so he reported it this time.

Sun Quan was very happy, but the ice that had been strong for many years began to melt and the situation had developed, so he rewarded Zhuge Jin again, and at the same time sent Lu Su to immediately take back the three counties of Jingnan.

If Liu Bei is eliminated by Cao Cao, Sun Quan is also in danger. Since Liu Bei is sincere, Sun Quan can be regarded as paying attention to his work, and after the three counties arrived, he immediately studied sending troops to attack Heqi again to solve the danger of Xichuan. At that time, there were no cars, and the distance was long, and by the time Sun Quan was busy with these things, he had already delayed for a long time.

Going back to Cao Cao, on this day, he set up a banquet and gathered the civil and military ministers to discuss the next plan.

Wang Baoyu still sat on the upper seat with Cao Cao, he knew what Cao Cao was thinking, and he never spoke. And Cao Cao always peeked at him, hoping that Wang Baoyu would be able to speak, and it was best to take the initiative to say that he would raise troops to attack Xichuan. As long as Wang Baoyu is willing to follow him, Cao Cao is willing to give him anything except his own life.

Everyone got together and it was very lively. During the banquet, Cao Cao talked about some of his past in a homely manner, couldn't help but talk about the concept of friends, and also mentioned a person, that is, Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are small, and the two often get together to be naughty and mischievous, and the relationship can be described as good. Later, the two opposed Dong Zhuo together, and they were once as close as brothers.

As for why Yuan Shao was later destroyed by Cao Cao, of course, it was because Yuan Shao wanted to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to come and rob Emperor Xian of Han. Cao Cao didn't say that, only said that Yuan Shao had the ambition to be the emperor, and even if he was a friend, he would never tolerate such a rebellious thing.

Cao Cao said this, the main purpose is to point Wang Baoyu, Liu Bei was also his guest, and now he has Jingzhou and Yizhou, and it is a matter of time before he becomes emperor.

Wang Baoyu has been with Cao Cao for so long, of course he knows what Cao Cao wants to express, but he just doesn't say anything about it. The three-point world is an unstoppable situation in the future, and it is not something that can be changed by his consent or disagreement.

However, Cao Cao thought that Wang Baoyu valued love and righteousness, and couldn't bear to turn against his sworn brother, and while sighing, he was also very depressed.

Jia Xu is scheming and knows that the matter is important, so he doesn't say much. Yang Xiu Mingzhe protected his life and persuaded Zhang Lu to surrender, so he was not treated well by Cao Cao, and he did not speak much.

Sima Yi picked up the wine glass and put it down, hesitated again and again, and finally got up and said: "Lord, Liu Bei defrauded Xichuan, the people's hearts have not yet been surrendered, and today he has won Hanzhong, you can quickly march to attack Liu Bei, and you must not miss the opportunity to come again!" ”

This is exactly what Cao Cao wanted to say, his heart was happy, and he glanced at Wang Baoyu again, but he bowed his head and said nothing, Cao Cao sighed and said: "People's hearts are not satisfied, they have Long, look back at Shu, when is the end?" ”

Sima Yi was stunned, he never thought that Cao Cao would say such a thing, obviously with the taste of beating him, from this point of view, Cao Cao is still not at ease with him!

Seeing that Sima Yi had introduced this sensitive topic to the beginning, Yang Xiu finally couldn't help but say: "Lord, what Zhong Da said is extremely true, if it is slow and Shuzhong is stable, it is not advisable!" ”

"Soldiers have worked hard from afar, and they should be compassionate, and this matter will be discussed later." Cao Cao waved his hand.

Everyone was surprised, this was not Cao Cao's style of doing things, everyone was smart, and they all glanced at Wang Baoyu and stopped mentioning it.

A stone in Wang Baoyu's heart fell to the ground temporarily. However, after the banquet was dispersed, Cao Cao still left him, did not beat around the bush, and said very seriously: "What Sima Yi and Yang Xiu said makes sense, Baoyu, what do you think?" ”

"Lao Cao, you are asking knowingly, I have a lot of acquaintances over there in Xichuan, Liu Bei is my eldest brother, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also my brothers, and other generals such as Zhao Yun and Guan Ting have a good relationship with me. Zhuge Liang is equivalent to my own brother-in-law, how can I be ruthless to help you attack them? If that's the case, I'll really be Lu Bu. Wang Baoyu said bluntly.

"Liu Bei's momentum today is even better than that Yuan Shao, if he is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will be difficult to protect the holy country." Cao Cao said patiently.

"You know who I am, I can't help it if you're unhappy, even if you kill me, I still have this attitude."

"Alas, Baoyu is serious, how could I ever have the idea of killing you. I just hope that Baoyu can focus on the overall situation and put personal grievances aside for the time being. ”

"Lao Cao, if you want to fight Ma Chao, I can follow, if you want to fight Zhang Lu, I fully support it. But Liu Bei, I will never do what you want, which will make me fall into the infamy of being unkind and unjust. If Zhuge Liang makes any mistakes because of this, I will also lose a good sister. Wang Baoyu sighed with an ugly face.

"I am old, if I lose today's opportunity, I am afraid that in my lifetime, it will be difficult to calm the southwest." Cao Cao said.

"If you have to fight, I don't care, let me go back to Xu Capital first!" Wang Baoyu said.

"If you don't have Baoyu's help, how can you get Xichuan?" Cao Cao said regretfully.

"Jia Xu, Yang Xiu, and Sima Yi are all very smart, they will definitely do their best to help you."

"None of them are as good as you, let's discuss this matter again!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he got up and went to the bed to lie down, curled up in a ball, this look like a wronged child.

Wang Baoyu was touched, but in the end he still left firmly, even if he didn't care about Liu Bei, he also had to take care of Yiling, to this day, it is still Liu Bei's territory, I am afraid that he has just participated in the attack on Xichuan, and the Yiling side will ignite the flames of war.

After another half a month, Cao Cao finally announced that the army was heading westward towards Jiameng Pass, preparing to attack Liu Bei.

Wang Baoyu once again proposed to return to Xudu, but Cao Cao did not agree with a cold face, saying that Wang Baoyu did not need to make suggestions, but he must stay by his side and wait for the matter to go together.
