I was the emperor in the Three Kingdoms

After Lu Su left, a smile appeared on his lips. This time he came, it was considered that he had completed his mission in 2016. He did not believe that Cao Cao would not agree.

Pengcheng, even if Cao Cao guessed that Wu Guo was not well-intentioned, Cao Cao would not give up Pengcheng easily.

"What do you think?"

After Lu Su left, Cao Cao asked all the men present.

There was silence below, everyone was frowning and thinking about this. You don't need to guess to know that the condition proposed by Wu Guo this time is definitely not good.

And Cao Cao now he The question was whether to do it or not.

Seeing that his men were all deep in thought and no one spoke for a long time, Cao Cao turned his attention to Yang Xiu and asked,"Dezu, what do you think?"

Yang Xiu was overjoyed. Cao Cao was the first to ask him for his opinion. This shows that he still has weight in Cao Cao's heart.

At least a little more important than Sima Yi.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have asked him first.

Yang Xiudao ,"The King of Wei, the Kingdom of Wu said that he would return Pengcheng to us. What I mean is, don't give it up for free. Pengcheng is very important to us.After taking Pengcheng, he is not afraid even if he falls out with Wu State in the future. Once he falls out with Wu State, he can still use Pengcheng to resist Wu State and prevent Wu State from entering Yuzhou. At the same time, with Pengcheng in hand, it can also be used as a springboard to seize Xuzhou. With Pengcheng in our hands, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. I feel that we should not give up."

Yang Xiu's words made many people here nod secretly.

Indeed, Pengcheng is also very important to Wei State and cannot be given up casually.

In order to win over Wu State, Pengcheng had to be given up before. Now Wu State wants to return it. Don't be a fool.

Of course some people agree, and naturally there are people who oppose it. Jiang Ji is opposed to it. He said,"King Wei, Pengcheng is very important. If the State of Wu gives up Pengcheng like this, it will definitely not be good. Moreover, Pengcheng is too close to Xiapi. When the Yan army in Xiapi wants to attack, Pengcheng will bear the brunt. This is inconsistent with the previous decision of King Wei."

Cao Cao's previous plan was to let the Wu State attract the attention of the Yan State in front, so that the Wei State could recuperate and recuperate.

But as Jiang Ji said, if Pengcheng is captured and becomes the target of the Yan Army's attack, the Yan Army's Turning his attention to himself, this was not in line with Cao Cao's previous plan.

Yang Xiu said,"Is it just like giving up Pengcheng to Wu in vain? Without Pengcheng, once Wu Guo turns against us in the future and they use Pengcheng as a springboard to attack us, what should we do?"

"That’s right, it will be extremely difficult to recapture Pengcheng by then"

"Yes, it will cost at least tens of thousands of soldiers' lives to take it back..." People who agreed with Yang Xiu spoke up one after another.

Then Yang Xiu said to Cao Cao,"King Wei, the state of Wu cannot be completely trusted. If the time comes He is stabbing us in the back and joining forces with Yan State to attack us. Without Pengcheng, we would be very passive."

Without Pengcheng as a barrier, Wu's army could easily advance into Yuzhou and seriously threaten Xudu.

"If we take Pengcheng back, we have to face the Yan army directly. Wouldn't everything we did before be in vain?"......

Some people agree, some people oppose, everyone has different opinions.

Cao Cao was also undecided and accepted Peng Cheng, but there was a possibility of confronting the Yan army and attracting the Yan army's attention again.

But if Pengcheng is not taken, it will be easy to lose the strategic initiative. Once something unexpected happens in Xuzhou, Cao Cao will be very passive.

However, Cao Cao couldn't decide after much thought. He turned his eyes to Sima Yi who said nothing and asked,"Zhongda, what do you think?"

Sima Yi thought for a while and said,"King Wei, Pengcheng is important and cannot be given up."

"Aren't you afraid of facing off against Yan Jun?"Someone asked.

Sima Yi said,"We will take Pengcheng back and control it. When the Yan army comes to attack, it doesn't matter whether the Wu army will help. As long as Pengcheng is defended, there is no need to worry about the Yan army in Xuzhou."

Yang Xiu sneered in his heart after hearing this. Isn't this my opinion?

Cao Cao asked,"But what if Yan Jun's attention is drawn back because of this?"

Sima Yi said,"King Wei, we can't hide it from Yan State if we join forces with Wu State. If Yan State wants to deal with us, it will definitely not be able to escape. Moreover, Gongsun Zan also went to Qiu Yan State for protection. When the time comes, Yan State really sends troops to help Gongsun Zan regain the lost place. Wu State is unable to do it alone. Wu State comes to ask for help. King Wei, will you send troops or not?"

Sima Yi's question made Cao Cao stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Sima Yi meant.

Now what Cao Cao planned was to get Wu and Yan to fight, so that Yan's attention would shift to Wu.

But At the same time, Cao Cao also hopes to form an alliance with the State of Wu and jointly deal with reinforcements in the future.

But if the State of Yan sends troops to help Gongsun Zan this time, the State of Wu cannot resist it. If the State of Wu comes to ask Cao Cao for help, if Cao Cao does not send troops, he will try to win over him in the future. Don't even think about forming an alliance with Wu.

But once troops are sent, Cao Cao's plan to use Wu to attract Yan's attention will also come to nothing.
