After Zhuge Liang left, Sun Quan's envoy also came to inquire.

After saying the same thing to the messenger, he sent the messenger away at will, and Li Yi began to wait for the last guest.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan's envoys came, and it was impossible for Cao Cao's not to come, even if this was Yangzhou, Cao Cao's lobbyists were everywhere.

Time is like water, Li Yi extinguished the oil lamp for the third time, and lay on the bed again and counted the numbers.

When he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock at the door.

"Dangdangdang" knocked on the door three times, and Li Yi suddenly became energetic.

Zhao Yun, who was beside the bed, opened his eyes and came to the door to invite the people outside the door in.

The third time he lit the fuel lamp, it illuminated the darkness and allowed Li Yi to see the faces of the people who came.

I saw that the person who came looked ordinary, and even a little ugly, but if you look closely, you will find that the eyes of the person who came are full of wisdom, and it is a typical wisdom and foolishness, looking at his vaguely familiar face, Li Yi guessed who the person who came was, that is Sima Yi Sima Zhongda.

In his previous life, he became the biggest winner, and it was his Sima family who sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven.

"You are?" Li Yi asked deliberately.

Now that Sima Yi has just come out, not many people have seen his face, and if he says his name, it will give people a bad feeling.

"In the lower Sima Yi, the word Zhongda, see the day of the state pastor." Sima Yi bowed respectfully, and then said his name.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Zhongda, I don't know why I came here late at night?" Li Yi nodded and asked directly.

"I came to inquire about it on the orders of the lord, and I wonder if the governor can answer?" Sima Yi explained.

In his heart, he appreciated Li Yi's caution and boldness, even if it was late at night, he dared to invite people he didn't know in, which was enough to show his boldness, he was a state pastor, a high and powerful position, and once he died, it would have a great impact on Youzhou.

Of course, seeing Zhao Yun behind him, Sima Yi knew that Li Yi had no fear, and in Cao Cao's information, there was a portrait and detailed information of Zhao Yun, knowing that he was a top general of the red grade, one of the few strong men in the world, one-on-one, few people could beat him.

"But Cao Cao sent you?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

This question made Sima Yi a little surprised, but he didn't expect Li Yi to guess this, he is worthy of being the governor of Youzhou, it seems that he came to Yangzhou and calculated well.

"Exactly, one day, Zhou Mu's eyes are like torches, and he has already guessed and admired without opening his mouth." Sima Yi said respectfully.

"Okay, I know what you're going to ask, I'm not going to talk nonsense, tell Cao Cao, on April 15, I will declare war on him, let him be careful, you go." After Li Yi finished speaking, he lay down and slew.

Sima Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Li Yi to say the answer so quickly, he hadn't asked yet. Just about to say something, he was stopped by Zhao Yun.

Looking at Zhao Yun's gesture, Sima Yi knew that this was sending off guests, and if he didn't leave, he would be kicked out by Zhao Yun, which would be a shame.

"Say goodbye below." Although he was unwilling, Sima Yi only had to retreat.

After sending Sima Yi away, Zhao Yun came back again and stood beside Li Yi's bedside, waiting for Li Yi's order.

"Zilong, you should also go and rest, there will be no guests today." Li Yi's voice sounded.

As soon as the voice ended, Zhao Yun's figure disappeared without a trace, and even the oil lamp was directly extinguished.

Lying on the bed, Li Yi recalled the information of the three envoys, among which the arrival of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi showed the importance of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, as for Sun Quan's envoys, it was obviously too much worse, it seemed that Sun Quan did not attach much importance to himself, thinking that there was no danger to the Yangtze River?

In this way, Sun Quan is not as good as the other two, and he is very deficient in the overall situation.

The night was like ink, making people drowsy, but Liu Bei and Cao Cao couldn't sleep, because the return of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi brought Li Yi's words back directly.

After Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed, once Li Yi launched an offensive in Youzhou, it would inevitably make Cao Cao unable to take care of both sides, or go all out to deal with Li Yi, but the war in the south would be delayed, and Jingzhou would be lost if it was not done well, but an all-out attack on Jingzhou would inevitably allow Li Yi to take advantage of the situation.

It's really worthy of Li Yi, the timing was so good, it happened to be stuck on Cao Cao's neck, and he died left and right.

"The lord should not be careless, the time of the attack was not stated that day, and it is not good to wait until the battle is over, although this is the best time to attack, but one day may not be like this." Zhuge Liang's reminder was like a basin of cold water, which woke Liu Bei up.

Hurriedly summoned Pang Tong to listen to his opinion, and asked the two strategists to quickly think about it and see if there was a countermeasure.

His first advisor, Xu Shu, was in Yizhou to deal with related matters, and this time he only brought two of them.

The two strategists are very different in terms of opinions, one is obviously optimistic about Li Yi's attack, and the other is not optimistic, which makes Liu Bei even more big.

I had to settle down, wait patiently, and now I should deal with how to return to Yizhou.

On Cao Cao's side, when Sima Yi came back, it was already midnight, and he had been waiting for the exact news without a trace of sleepiness.

After Sima Yi returned, he told Li Yi's words truthfully, and then waited for Cao Cao's order.

Looking around, except for Xun Yu, many of Cao Cao's strategists gathered together, and no one spoke, waiting for Cao Cao's opinion.

After a long time, the atmosphere present was very depressing, making people feel breathless.

"Hehe, he's finally going to war." Smiling slightly, Cao Cao exuded a sense of relief, as if something important had finally been put down, and he was as light as a swallow all of a sudden.

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, the faces of many strategists were stunned, some smiled, and some were confused.

"Okay, let's talk about it, let's give up on that side." Cao Cao asked suddenly, making many strategists look straight and look at Guo Jia, he is Cao Cao's first strategist, and he should speak first.

If Guo Jia's words were wrong, they would change their rhetoric so that Cao Cao would not be displeased.

"Abandoning the south, compared with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the threat of one day is greater, I suggest giving up Jingzhou and going all out to deal with Youzhou." Guo Jia's speech was like thunder, and the strategists present were really trembling.

As Guo Jia's words were, it was to give up half of Jingzhou, which had been fought hard, but once so, it would definitely suffer a setback in morale, and Si Li would be attacked by the enemy on his back, and it would be difficult to defend.

"Oh, what about Chung-de? What do you think? Cao Cao nodded, indicating that he understood, but there was no expression on his face.

made many strategists shake their heads secretly, not seeing Cao Cao's thoughts.

"I think we should send a large army to delay Youzhou, and then attack Jingzhou with all our might, and after crippling Liu Bei and Sun Quan, we should turn around and kill Youzhou, this method is the best policy!" Cheng Yu's words can be said to be a supplement to Guo Jia's suggestion, and to a certain extent, it can reduce losses.

But the key point is how to block Youzhou's attack, so as not to be taken advantage of by it, and not to lose Si Li when Jingzhou is fighting, which is not good.

Once Si Li is taken by Youzhou, Cao Cao's army cannot be trained into one, and the mobilization of the army will be in trouble, once Liu Bei and Sun Quan go all out, Liangzhou and Yuzhou will be lost, and the surrounded Jingzhou will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy, so that most of the land will be lost, and once it will return to the beginning.

"What about Gongda? What do you think? Cao Cao nodded slightly and continued to roll call.

Question the top-ranked strategists one by one, listen to their opinions, and everyone's answer is nothing more than two points, one is to attack Youzhou, destroy Youzhou first, and delay in the south.

One point is to drag Youzhou, attack the south with all your might, destroy Liu Bei and Sun Quan first, and use the power of the world to destroy Youzhou.

The two can't say which one is good and which one is bad, which makes Cao Cao quite embarrassed.

As soon as he wants to choose which one, another point will pop up and make trouble for him, making Cao Cao's headache split.

"That's it, that's it, let's discuss it tomorrow, let's go back and rest." In the end, Cao Cao waved his hand, dispersed many strategists, and announced that they would discuss again tomorrow.

I really can't think of which one to choose, and Cao Cao is also in a quandangle.

……

The next day, Cao Cao did not mention yesterday's topic, but sent a large army to stop Liu Bei's long journey, which was bound to stop Liu Bei in Jingzhou and prevent him from returning to Yizhou.

A large number of troops were deployed on the Yangtze River, and once they found ships, they all stopped, which caused Cao Cao's prestige to be greatly damaged in Jingzhou, because the Yangtze River is the most important economic route in Jingzhou, and once blocked, it will damage the interests of Jingzhou, Yizhou and Yangzhou.

However, the passing ships dared not speak out, and Cao Cao made it clear that he would not let Liu Bei go to Yizhou through Jingzhou, and forced him to use the teleportation circle, so as to make him lose face.

In the face of Cao Cao's difficulties, Liu Bei went the opposite way, interspersed from the center of Jingzhou, and went to Yizhou as quickly as possible.

Liu Bei's move slapped Cao Cao in the face, since you block me, then I will go from the place where you have the strongest defense and see if you can stop me.

In this regard, Cao Cao had no choice but to kill him.

Countless armies began to attack Liu Bei's army, countless generals came on the field, and a large number of skills were used, killing Liu Bei's army unspeakably miserable, and he was finally surrounded and annihilated by Cao Cao under hiding in Tibet.

But when Cao Cao came to the battlefield, he found that there was no Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang inside, and then he knew that he had been tricked.

It turned out that Liu Bei was sending a large army to swagger through the city in Jingzhou, and in order to attract Cao Cao's attention, he even handed over his royal banner to this army and ordered them to flee in Jingzhou.

And he followed the waterway, went all the way, settled in the southwest of Jingzhou, quickly went to Yizhou, and finally arrived in Yizhou safely.

Liu Bei's smooth return greatly boosted the morale of Yizhou, and the people's hearts rose, showing a color of prosperity.

On the other hand, Cao Cao, although he won Liu Bei's royal banner, but with Liu Bei's personality, where would he admit it, he would only say that Cao Cao spread rumors and made trouble, so he had to write it down depressedly.

At this point, Liu Bei's marriage was completely over, and the general trend of the world fell into a stalemate again.

No one dares to do it at will, and they are all waiting for Youzhou's strength.

If Youzhou doesn't make a move, no one dares to send troops, and once he becomes a bird, he will become the target of the opponent's priority attack, which will cause huge losses.
