Yang Xiu's words brought Cao Cao back to his senses.

Cao Cao looked at his men, and then roughly said what Liu Zhe said to him today.

After hearing this, Cao Cao's men were shocked at first, and then became furious.

"Why does he want Pengcheng?"

"no. Absolutely not?

Then his subordinates said to Cao Cao,"King Wei, Pengcheng is extremely important to us. We must not give up.""

Cao Cao glanced at this subordinate and said,"I know everything you said, but Liu Zhe said that he only wants Pengcheng. What do you think I should do?"

"Damn it, he bullied people too much, we fought with him."Some generals shouted angrily.

Immediately afterwards, someone poured cold water on them,"How to fight? Can you beat him?"

"Is there no other way?"

Cao Cao said again,"Liu Zhe said that he doesn't need Pengcheng, but he wants me to send the emperor to Youzhou, which means that he wants to hand over the emperor to him."."What, this is even more impossible."More people on Wenchen's side immediately called out

"King Wei, the emperor is much more important than Pengcheng. If you hand it over, you might as well hand over Pengcheng."

"Yes, the emperor absolutely cannot leave Xudu."Without the Emperor, Cao Cao would still be considered useless.

"Is there really no other way?"Some of his men's faces were full of worry. Liu Zhe put too much pressure on them. And now Sun Quan has withdrawn, leaving them alone to face Liu Zhe. Whether it is in the direction of Pengcheng or here, it is difficult for them to fight. If Liu Zhe is defeated, no matter where he misses, the Yan army can march straight in, fight to the gates of Xudu, and threaten Xudu.

Many of Cao Cao's men want Cao Cao to see Liu Zhe and pay a small price to make Liu Zhe retreat, but Liu Zhe wants Pengcheng, which will be difficult to handle.

Pengcheng is very important to Cao Cao and cannot be given up easily. After giving up Pengcheng, Xudu will be in instability.

"Damn it, we can't give Pengcheng to Liu Zhe. If we give it to him, we won't be able to defend ourselves in the future."

Cao Cao said at this time,"Liu Zhe said that Pengcheng can be handed over to Gongsun Zan, but it is not in our hands anyway."

"This is not appropriate. If it is handed over to Gongsun Zan, given Gongsun Zan's current reliance on Liu Zhe, what is the difference between leaving it to him and Liu Zhe?"

"The abominable Liu Zhe has deceived people too much..."

Seeing his men filled with indignation and public outcry, he asked,"What do you think?"

The subordinates who had been having a heated discussion just now and yelled at Liu Zhe fell silent. They looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke.

Yang Xiu asked,"King Wei, did Liu Zhe just put forward such a condition? No other conditions?"

Cao Cao nodded and said,"Yes, I just put forward such a condition. What do you think? Yang

Xiu thought about it and said with an ugly expression,"Back to King Wei, Chen hasn't thought of a good solution yet.""

At this time Jiang Ji asked,"King Wei, King Yan, will he really hand over Pengcheng to Gongsun Zan?"

"That's right, and he also said that he would not deal with me through Gongsun Zan's hands, but I couldn't believe him."

Jiang Jidao,"King Wei, if we don't have a good way to repel the Yan army, Chen thinks we might as well hand Pengcheng over."

"What?"

"Do you know what you are talking about?"As soon as Jiang Ji said this, Cao Cao's men spoke out one after another, accusing Jiang Ji.

If he hadn't known that Jiang Ji would not betray him, Cao Cao would have couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang Ji had been bribed by Liu Zhe.

After Cao Cao stared at Jiang Ji for a while, he said in a deep voice,"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know"

"Then you still dare to say that? Don’t you know that Pengcheng is very important to me?"

Jiang Jidao,"I also know that, but King Wei, the advantages of handing over Pengcheng to Gongsun Zan outweigh the disadvantages for us."

"So tell me how the pros outweigh the cons?"

Cao Cao and his men all looked at Jiang Ji to hear what he had to say. Jiang Ji asked Cao Cao,"King Wei, can we defeat the Yan army now?"

Cao Cao looked ugly. Isn't this nonsense? If he can win, why would he worry here?

Cao Cao asked unhappily,"What do you mean by this?"

Jiang Jidao,"King Wei, we can't defeat the Yan army, so what's the benefit to us if we continue to confront him here?"

Cao Cao didn't say anything. Indeed, the confrontation with Liu Zhe here would not do him any good.
