Chapter 191: Favoring one and favoring others
Having said this, Sima De was already confident.

He immediately answered directly:
"The Prime Minister's previous considerations were very appropriate! This high-ranking official's generous salary is indeed timely!"

"Ma Teng is the successor to General Fubo and Ma Yuan."

"He has strong soldiers and horses, he is a powerful force!"

"And Han Sui is also from a wealthy family in Xiliang. The two of them have always treated each other like brothers when they formed an alliance!"

"Before, it was natural that we were talking about equals, and both sides were on equal footing."

"But now that Ma Teng has suddenly been promoted, the gap between the two has suddenly become wider!"

"Nature no longer has the original balance!"

Cao Cao frowned immediately after hearing this, and then asked:
"What Renda said, could it be that he wanted to give me some advice?"

"At the same time as Ma Teng was conferred, a promotion order was attached to Han Sui."

"To balance both sides?"

Sima De shook his head, smiled slightly, and said lightly:

"No. Quite the opposite!"

"In my opinion, the Prime Minister should say nothing about Han Sui."

"It's as if this person doesn't exist at all!"

Xiahou Dun on the side was dazzled when he heard it, as if he had fallen into a fog!

Looking at this cunning guy again, he feels quite unpredictable!
When Cao Cao heard this, he came back to his senses.

He asked thoughtfully:
"You mean to favor one over the other, to create a rift?"

"To make Han Sui feel dissatisfied and use this to stir up discord within Xiliang?"

Sima De chuckled and nodded:

"The Prime Minister is wise! This is exactly what my son-in-law means!"

"So not only did the Prime Minister's edict not mention Han Sui at all!"

"You can even attach a promotion order!"

"Transfer Ma Teng's former position of general to his son Ma Chao!"

"His father was promoted to the capital, so his son could take over his title and guard Xiliang!"

"Although Ma Chao has no strategy, it is difficult for him to achieve great things, but he is extremely brave."

"If this person suddenly ascends to a high position, Han Sui will be afraid of him."

"As for the position of general before Ma Chao."

"You can also take advantage of the situation and transfer it to Ma Teng's second son, Ma Tie!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened and he said in surprise:

"These 'Three Horses' from Xiliang have all been promoted through my hands!"

"Is this really the meaning of 'being in the same slot'?"

Sima De chuckled and thought to himself:

Good guy, if this old man thinks so, that’s right!
Otherwise, he would always be thinking about the strange thing about "three horses in the same trough".

He also linked this matter to his Sima family.

Then wouldn’t he have to be on tenterhooks every day?

Although he was temporarily turned away by himself just now.

However, given his suspicious character!

At every moment, it is possible to become a sharp knife hanging on one's neck!
You never know when the wind will change.

It will be chopped down towards me immediately!

Even though I am a time traveler, I still have enough brains!
But the problem is that it's not any stronger than others!
If Cao Cao's concern is not relieved early, it will at least be a big hidden danger!

The reason why he launched this plan to his boss so solemnly today!

On the one hand, it is to relieve the Lord’s worries and solve current problems!

On the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to show off your talents!

Of course, to him, none of this actually matters!
The most important purpose is actually still here!
The real important thing is to relieve the boss's concerns and save your life as soon as possible!
As a person who travels through time in later generations, in this world.

No one knows the preciousness of life better than him!
In this war-torn era, no matter when.

He will consciously put his own safety first!
If possible, he would try his best.

After researching and wearing a bulletproof vest, I felt a little more comfortable!
Now, I know clearly this strange dream of "three horses in the same trough".

It has always been a thorn in the side of my boss! That’s why I reminded you again and again as if nothing had happened!
The purpose is to arouse the boss's interest and arouse his curiosity!

Then I suddenly became enlightened and took the opportunity to completely eliminate my doubts about myself!

Otherwise, even if you can use your mind in the future.

Being rich and powerful may not necessarily be reliable!

At least you have to save your life to enjoy this glory and wealth!
Now that I saw Cao Cao taking the initiative to mention this matter, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief!

He knew in his heart that his cheap father-in-law had reached this point.

I have completely put aside my previous suspicion of the Sima family!

Only by exposing this matter can I do whatever I want in the future.
Looking at Cao Cao's doubts, I should give him a push:
"The Prime Minister's prediction is correct. It seems that this is fate!"

"Before this, although I was not talented in virtue, I also had many doubts about it!"

"Now it seems that this is probably the case too!"

"So it's better to wait and see if my son-in-law's plan succeeds!"

"Now we are safe and sound!"

Cao Cao nodded:

"In my opinion, this matter can be confirmed now!"

"The 'Three Horses' of Xiliang have been causing trouble for a long time and have long become a problem for me!"

"If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, sooner or later the confidants of Zuo Chaoting will be endangered!"

"I'm lucky to have Renda's clever plan today, so I should act accordingly!"

"Publish the edict first to calm people's hearts!"

"Continue to cause infighting and wait for an opportunity to plot!"

"I just want to wait until Xiliang is truly pacified in the future."

"This is a great plan to truly eliminate foreign troubles and achieve long-term peace and stability!"

After hearing this, Sima De couldn't help being shocked!

He quickly cupped his fists and saluted, and said sincerely:

"Prime Minister Mingjian! Before my son-in-law said anything, you already understood it in your heart!"

"He is truly a great talent in this world!"

Cao Cao also smiled and waved his hand when he heard this.

Apparently he took this compliment very seriously.

Seeing the proud look on Cao Cao's face, Sima De immediately felt relieved!

It seems that the old saying goes well, "If you wear a thousand clothes, you will never wear a flattery"!
Although he is a cheap father-in-law, he is one of the few heroes in the world!
When you really meet the right person, you can still flatter someone!

It's just that this lord is not only thoughtful, but also has amazing intelligence!

Even its gorgeous diction is at the pinnacle of the times!
Faced with such an unparalleled all-around person!
Even if it's just flattering, it's not a small thing!
You really need to use your brain!
If you want to really get the shot right, it also needs to be crisp and loud!

It’s not a very easy thing!
It definitely requires a genius like my own!

Looking at Cao Cao's face now, I know that he has mostly succeeded!
So I was happy to give it up and get back to the topic:

"Since the Prime Minister understands the essence of this plan, he naturally understands it very well!"

"This is the 'invite you into the urn' plan."

"The core is to break the internal balance of Xiliang and wait for an opportunity to provoke civil strife!"

"So after Ma Teng enters the city! The capital will be worry-free!"

"Prime Minister, just sit tight in Yecheng."

"In my spare time, I just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao remained silent for a long while before saying:

"How can Renda be sure that after this plan, there will be civil strife in Xiliang?"

What he didn't expect was Sima De, who was always calm and composed.

The reaction at this time was very different from usual!
When I heard this question, I was not as confident as I was just now!
Instead, he shook his head and said bluntly: "Of course not!"

"For the current plan, the main thing is to earn Ma Teng into the capital first!"

"Just to temporarily stabilize the situation in Xiliang."

"Stabilize the Guanzhong area first, and then we can plan for it slowly in the future!"
