The Three Kingdoms: The filial son of the Cao family, please ask the father to ascend the throne

Chapter 314 Plotting Yizhou
After showing off his skills, Sima Yi successfully gained Cao Ang's trust.

"Young Master Zixiu, since Mr. Cao sent me to Jingzhou with you, he must be asking for my help.

Which do you think is more important to Master Sikong, Jingzhou or you? "

Cao Ang tentatively said:
"I?"

"wrong."

"Jingzhou? It doesn't look like it."

"Nor."

Sima Yi said with an inscrutable expression:

"Without you, it is very important to Lord Sikong."

Cao Ang: ? ? ?
"Young Master Zixiu, this matter is actually very simple.

You have only one threat to Lord Sikong.

That is who you are.

As long as you are not the eldest son of the Cao family, you will not have any influence on Lord Sikong.

After all, your power is too weak to have any effect at all. "

Cao Ang asked distressedly:
"How do I resolve my identity?

Tell Lao Cao that you want to sever ties? "

"There's no need to sever ties, Mr. Zixiu, which state do you think is the best among the thirteen states in the Han Dynasty?"

Cao Ang said without hesitation:
"Xuzhou!"

"No, it's Yizhou!"

Sima Yi analyzed in detail:
"Yizhou is a land of abundance, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, fertile land and rich products.

Hanzhong is an important military route, the terrain is dangerous and solid, and it is an important strategic position for the north-south communication.

The Qinling Mountains are barriers in the north, the Ba Mountains stretch in the south, and the Han River runs through them.

In the north, there are ancient roads such as Chencang, Baoxie, Wenchuan, Tangluo, and Ziwu, as well as passes such as Xianren, Wuxiu, Dasan, Xiegu, Luogu, Yaoling, and Ziwu;

In the south, there are ancient roads such as Jinniu, Micang, and Lizhi, and passes such as Yangping, Wuding, and Bailao that can be guarded.

Food and grass are plentiful, dangerous barriers are sheltered, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

If Mr. Zixiu gave up his status as an heir in exchange for the territory of Yizhou, I believe Lord Sikong would not refuse. "

Cao Ang felt something was wrong.

After Sima Yi's analysis, isn't this Yizhou a proper base for mobilizing troops, recharging energy, developing power, and expanding territory?

What is he going to do?

"Mr. Zhongda, I have no intention of competing with Ziyou for the world. It is useless for Yizhou to ask for it."

Sima Yi sneered in his heart.

His biggest characteristic is that he is good at forbearance.

Cao Ziyou is very powerful, and Sima Yi knows that after he goes in, he won't be able to get into the inner circle.

Fortunately, he defected to Cao Ang and became the most important adviser under Cao Ang's command.

After the death of Cao Ang and Cao Ziyou, he will support Cao Ang's son and send troops out of Yizhou to compete in the world!

As long as Cao Ziyou is not around, no one in this world can hinder him!
Of course, he couldn't tell Cao Angming.

"Mr. Zixiu, because Yizhou is so important, you have to occupy it.

Think about it, Yanzhou is located in the center of the Central Plains, who is Yanzhou Mu?

It is Duke Cao, the father of Lord Sikong.

Yizhou is an excellent location to recharge your batteries. If you hand it over to a general with a foreign surname, will Sir Sikong be relieved?

Will your Cao family feel at ease? "

When Cao Ang thought about it, it was indeed the truth.

It is indeed more reassuring than outsiders to have people from their old Cao's family guarding these vital places for Ziyou.

"Okay, Mr. Zhongda, as you say.

Then let's meet Liu Jingsheng tomorrow, what should we say?
Should he hand over Jingzhou to Ziyou? "

"Ha ha ha ha."

Sima Yi laughed.

"Young Master Zixiu, you are still thinking about Jingzhou?
You can ask Liu Jingsheng tomorrow, if my guess is correct, Liu Jingsheng hopes to be Lord Sikong's ally more. "

"Allies? How about that!"

"Don't worry, Liu Jingsheng is already old, and Lord Sikong is very young, just wait a little longer."

"it is good."

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Jingsheng entertained Cao Ang quite grandly.

"Zixiu, you really look like Lord Sikong!"

"Hahaha, Lord Shepherd of Jingzhou also looks a lot like your son."

After the friendly greetings from the two, Liu Jingsheng cut to the point.

"Zixiu, why did you come to Jingzhou?"

Cao Ang said sincerely:
"I am about to take up the post of Yanzhou pastor, and as a state pastor, I have no corresponding experience.

After thinking about it, only Lord Shepherd of Jingzhou has been in charge of Jingzhou for many years and has sufficient experience!
I wonder if Lord Shepherd of Jingzhou can teach some? "

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and asked curiously:

"Where's Cao Mengde? Isn't he Yanzhou Mu?
Could it be that the old rascal is dead? "

"Ahem! My father is in good health, but Zi You thought he was old, so he allowed him to enjoy the blessings."

"I see."

In the face of Cao Ang's advice, Liu Biao did not hide his secrets.

I picked some practical experiences and talked to him.

At the end, I did not forget to ask Cao Ang:
"Zixiu, do you know how Lord Sikong plans to deal with Jingzhou?"

"Well, I really don't know. But Ziyou is a very honest person. As long as the Lord Shepherd of Jingzhou gives him some benefits, maybe Xuzhou will establish a deep friendship with Jingzhou?"

"Ugh."

Liu Biao let out a long sigh.

"In recent years, I have been at odds with Yizhou.

Recently, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Yizhou. Liu Zhang was killed, and the master of Yizhou was replaced by the big traitor Liu Xuande.

Then Liu Xuande sent envoys to Jingzhou and tried his best to invite me to form a double Liu alliance to fight against Xuzhou together.

And my Jingzhou has not been as good as before in recent years, I am really worried about Liu Xuande's wolf ambition, and want to take this opportunity to plot against Jingzhou. "

Cao Ang was taken aback. He didn't expect such a big change in Yizhou.

No wonder he didn't know.

The spheres of influence of Yizhou and Cao Ziyou are not adjacent, and the main energy of the Cao family is on the Battle of Chibi.

Even with news from Yizhou, it was too late when troops were sent to support them.

It can only be said that Liu Bei's vitality is really strong.

Along the way from north to south, from the emperor to the traitor, and finally able to occupy Yizhou, he is indeed a legend.

"Master Jingzhou Mu, don't worry. After I go back, I will go to Ziyou to explain the situation as soon as possible.

As long as we win Hanzhong, we will be able to send troops out of Yizhou to deter Liu Xuande, and then Jingzhou will be in danger. "

Liu Biao nodded.

"I know Zhang Lu in Hanzhong quite well.

As long as Lord Sikong can go there in person, this person will surrender, and Hanzhong will naturally be captured without bloodshed. "

"It's not right..."

Sima Yi said at this moment:

"Master Shepherd of Jingzhou, why don't you let Mr. Zixiu stay in Jingzhou temporarily and learn from you how to govern the state?"

"Of course I'm fine, but Zixiu stays here, where is Cao Mengde?"

"I believe Mr. Cao also very much hopes that Mr. Zixiu can increase his knowledge and improve his ability."

Sima Yi had already talked about this, so Liu Biao had no choice but to agree.

Regarding the information on Yizhou and Hanzhong, another envoy was sent to Xuzhou.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know that Cao Ang chose to stay, and was waiting for Jingzhou's surrender in Wancheng.

In the end, instead of waiting for Jingzhou's surrender letter, Cao Ziyou came instead.
