Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 651 Old Fox and Little Fox

"Jiangdong and Sun Ce were the most noisy at yesterday's banquet, but their purpose is also the easiest to see. The solution is also within the scope of the Han Dynasty. But the Cao and Liu families... what they want most is Xuzhou's fat And I have the weakest control over Xuzhou, but Taishan County..."

Finally, when it came to the core problem of today's secret meeting, Liu Xie's expression could not conceal his sorrow and helplessness, and he simply spread his hands and asked Sima Yi: "Among my advisers, you are the youngest and most daring, you Is there a good way to relieve the sorrow in my heart?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. It is true that I am the youngest minister, but if it is said to be bold, I dare not compete with the bright moon with the light of fireflies..." After saying this rare humble statement, Sima Yi still had intentions. Tilting his head slightly, he gestured to Jia Xu who was about to snore beside him, his intentions couldn't be more obvious.

Liu Xie was very satisfied that Sima Yi was still so afraid of Jia Xu.Historically, Sima Yi dared to make waves in Wei Guo, which had already withered its talents, only after Jia Xu kicked his legs.At present, the Han Dynasty is full of talents, and there are many people who are wary of Sima Yi, so even though Sima Yi is highly valued by Liu Xie at this moment, he dare not be too perverse and presumptuous.

As a result, Liu Xie just smiled slightly, not intending to wake up Jia Xu who was pretending to be asleep, and said lightly: "It's okay, I just let you give advice. Maybe or not, I make my own decision."

Sima Yi's dexterous fingers flipped, and his eyes couldn't help turning. When he looked up at Liu Xie again, he became more cunning: "Your Majesty, I have three strategies..."

"Bullshit!" Liu Xie became angry when he heard this. He knew the methods of these counselors to show their IQ best, so he cut off Sima Yi's words and reprimanded him: "What you said is a bad strategy, but it's just temporarily delaying the open and secret fight between Cao and Liu. It is not beneficial to the overall situation in the future at all; and the so-called middle strategy is to make both Cao Cao and Liu Bei gain advantages on the surface, but the only one who suffers is the Han Dynasty; the last best strategy must be a slanted sword. Everyone benefits, if you don’t do well, let’s play with each other!”

The arrogance on Sima Yi's face suddenly withered like a golden chrysanthemum in the cold wind. He was stunned for a long time, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then reluctantly admitted: "Your Majesty is wise, there are three tricks in the middle, which caused the The result was indeed as His Majesty expected..."

Liu Xie snorted coldly, and his anger seemed to rise a little: "I will venture to guess again," Liu Xie deliberately bit the word "daring" very hard, and the meaning of sarcasm jumped out immediately.

"Your so-called bad strategy is to expect the Han Dynasty to imply that Liu Bei will submit to Cao Cao. The most likely thing is that you want me to transfer the Taishan county to Cao Cao. Therefore, within a year or two, Cao Cao will indeed not return For Liu Bei's trouble, I am also grateful to the Han Dynasty. And for Liu Bei, I also got a year or two of recuperation."

"The so-called middle strategy should be to let the Han Dynasty transfer Yuzhou to Cao Cao. In this way, within three or four years, Cao Cao will concentrate on recuperating. Liu Bei is also very happy. After all, Cao Cao, a greedy snake, has digested Yuzhou, and he will be in Xuzhou. I no longer have to worry about Cao Cao's covetousness all the time. But the Han Dynasty will fight Yuan Shao in a few days, and your single plan will cause the Han Dynasty to lose a whole state. How can the Han Dynasty compete with Yuan Shao in the future?"

"Finally, I'm not sure about the remaining best strategy, but if I have to guess..." Liu Xie gradually leaned forward when he said this, and at this critical moment, his sharp eyes were even more condescending Staring at Sima Yi intently, he said, "Your best strategy is to make me agree to Cao Cao's threat and give Xuzhou to Cao Cao!"

After Liu Xie finished these three sentences, every sentence pierced deeply into Sima Yi's defenseless mind like a sharp knife and dark spear.For a while, this young man who had walked out of Hanoi and had always been smooth sailed suddenly looked at Liu Xie with an unbelievable look.Those eyes were as fierce and cunning as a wolf, and as sharp as a falcon, but they lasted less than a moment before being forced back by Liu Xie's majestic eyes.His back was wet immediately, and he replied in embarrassment: "Your Majesty is wise."

"It's not my sage, it's just that when you reach a certain level of wisdom, anyone can see through the situation in front of you. The corresponding solutions are just the same, but since your thoughts are only general ones, then step back. Zhen and Jia The general and Zijing have a discussion to see if they can check the omission of the addendum." After saying this, Liu Xie waved his hand to let Sima Yi go out without waiting for Sima Yi's reaction.

Sima Yi finally raised his head and took a deep and cautious look at Liu Xie. He bowed to the ground and stood up straight again. The expression on his face had disappeared, and he showed a calm look with some luck, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and you are very wise. The minister will close the door and think about the past."

After saying this, Sima Yi retreated angrily.And just after he closed the door of the side hall, Jia Xu slowly opened his eyes, and said leisurely: "Young man, as expected, he still can't cultivate his energy well enough. For such a big event in the world, he still wants to be with His Majesty." Showing off in front of you is really losing the importance."

Liu Xie looked a little tired at this time, and after lying back to the comfortable and non-aggressive position before, he replied to Jia Xu: "That's not the case, Sima Yi is still a man who can be made." In this chaotic world, there are those who are just trying to gain fame or are really talented, some are peaceful, upright, modest and courteous according to the principles of Confucius and Mencius; If I want to control the wisdom of the world, I need some rules."

Smart people talk, and they stop at the point, and that's all Liu Xie can tell Jia Xu.

After all, he couldn't tell Jia Xu that Sima Yi had a history of usurping the country.In fact, even if Liu Xie didn't say anything, Jia Xu could see that Sima Yi's heart had become more and more arrogant recently. How could he not know, why didn't Sima Yi want to take this step in his heart?
Only Jia Xu knew that Sima Yi was already searching for Jin Yiwei, and seemed to be at a loss.Jinyiwei is the shadow of Liu Xie. Even Jia Xu has adopted the principle of "three nos" to this institution, which is not to reject, not to deny, but never to take the initiative.What's more, Sima Yi was at the time when he was young and energetic. Once he overstepped the threshold, he would have other thoughts in his eyes, and it would not be beautiful for Liu Xie to suppress him at that time.

After all, it is better to prevent problems before they happen.This is like taming a beast, when the wild beast is still young and frivolous, it gives a heavy blow, leaving a mark on its heart.In the future, even if the ferocious beast dared to roar and wreak havoc at others, it would still be afraid of that person back then and be used by that person.

Therefore, even though Liu Xie had seen through Sima Yi's arrogance these days, he had been hiding it all the time, waiting for Sima Yi to throw money suddenly when Sima Yi was full of ambition and defenseless, in order to attract surprise soldiers.

Fortunately, Jia Xu knew Liu Xie well, and knew what role he should play in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after talking about Sima Yi, Jia Xu's thoughts returned to the previous situation, and before Liu Xie asked, he said: "Sima Yi's three strategies, the upper, the middle, and the lower, are all exaggerated, but as your majesty said, When wisdom reaches a certain level, so does the corresponding solution. If we look at it this way, Sima Yi's best strategy can still be refined and perfected."

"Mr. Jia's words are justified," Lu Su on the side also said at the right time, obviously following Jia Xu's profound and fragmented thinking: "There are two kinds of strategies in the world. There are two kinds of conspiracy and conspiracy. When it comes to whether it is wise or not, it is the It depends on whether the strategy is meticulous and rigorous, and whether the implementation is feasible. Sima Yi's best strategy has some unexpected charm, if we deepen it, it might not be possible for all three parties to benefit."

"It's just that it's really difficult..." Liu Xie finally said sadly: "Yesterday to now, I have thought about this matter thoroughly. It is not impossible for me to exercise the orthodox power of the Han Dynasty and transfer Xuzhou to Cao Cao." , and at the same time, I also have a way to make Liu Bei feel at ease. But only one of them is really difficult for me to solve."

Jia Xu and Lu Su couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, and suddenly they both sighed and said in unison: "Is it a matter of the people's hearts in Xuzhou?"

"Exactly." Finally, Liu Xie couldn't help but rubbed his neck, sighed and said: "Since I took charge of the Han Dynasty, I have always governed with righteousness and benevolence. If Xuzhou is handed over to Cao Cao for no reason, then how can I make the people of Xuzhou feel uneasy?" Resentment?"

However, Liu Xie still underestimated Jia Xu after all.This person who was almost promoted to the altar in later generations just closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes again, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, it is not the heart of the people. The strong enemy of Yuan Shao in the north is on the side, and the Han Dynasty is not full. Be sure that you can fight with one another. What's more, Yuan Shao slandered you as not the son of the first emperor, and never honored the Han family Zhengshuo. The relationship between Yuan and Cao is well known, and today Cao Cao is threatening His Majesty with secret words..."

Jia Xu stopped suddenly when he said this, and didn't say anything more. He hung his shoulders down, hid his eyes in layers of wrinkles, and could hardly see whether they were open or closed.Lu Su was still frowning and thinking hard, but when Liu Xie heard this, he first laughed out loud, then his smile faded away, and he pointed at Jia Xu's nose and said, "You old fellow, you are really too dangerous."

Jia Xu was noncommittal, kneeling on the spot like a Weng Zhong.
