Jia Xu had a smile on her face, but the bitterness in her heart had already spread to her throat.He raised his hand and made a bow: "In short, if you need someone from Jia in the future, just come and look for it."



In the brightly lit conference hall, hundreds of officials gathered under the hall.

Cao Cao, who sits above the first seat, wears a red robe with unicorn pattern, and the cuffs reflect the auspicious grass pattern designed by the craftsmen with great pains.Although he has passed through a long period of life, it has not affected that handsome face in the slightest.

"The defeat in the Battle of Chibi was indeed my mistake, and I would like to apologize to all the generals in advance."

Although he has become the prime minister, Cao Cao has always been rewarded and punished clearly, even if it is related to him, he is willing to plead guilty.

Now that Cao Cao is sitting in the chief position, the appearance of raising his hands in apology, not only did not bring the slightest damage to his image, but on the contrary reflected a trace of manly mind.

Under the seats, the soldiers raised their hands and clasped their fists one after another: "Your Excellency is serious. Although the battle of Chibi was severely damaged, we still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands. Do we want to go all out and kill Jiangdong again?"

Cao Cao looked at the map in his palm, shook his head and said, "No, it can be seen from the Battle of Chibi that Jiangdong soldiers have been familiar with water since they were young, which is not comparable to our Cao army. Now, it is better to change direction and attack Xiliang."

"Xiliang? Are you going to fight on the west frontier?"

"That's right. Dong Zhuo raised soldiers from Xiliang back then. The horses here in Xiliang are strong, and the warrior Xiao Yong. Ma Teng, the prefect of Liangzhou, had a little friendship with me back then. It would be great if we could win without fighting."

Cao Cao's analysis immediately won the approval of many officials.

"With Liangzhou's soldiers and horses, there is no fear of Wu soldiers coming to attack. They have navy troops, and we have cavalry!"

"Then it's decided. Who should we send to the expedition?" Cao Cao asked as he rolled up the map.

Although Cao Jun has a large number of people now, his morale has dropped a lot because of the Battle of Chibi.For a while, no general dared to accept this military order alone.

After a long while, Xiahou Dun stood up and said, "The last general is willing to take the order. It's just... that the last general is a general, I'm afraid it's not enough. I also hope that the prime minister will give the last general a counselor."

As soon as Xiahou Dun's voice fell, the purple figure stood up from the seat without hesitation: "Mr. Prime Minister, among the civil servants, my ministers recommend Sima Yi. Lord Jia Xu and Lord Xun Yu are busy pulling Hanzhong and Jiangling, I have no time to avatar and leave without authorization, I am afraid something will change on the way."

Cao Cao looked up at Sima Yi who was sitting not far from Cao Pi.Sima Yi's intelligence is indeed undeniable. Based on years of experience, he always felt that Sima Yi was not simple.

As if seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Sima Yi said with a smile without hesitation: "Your Excellency, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, and I will not exceed my military power in the slightest."

"Well, I'll leave the matter of Liangzhou to you and Yuan Rang. What else is going on these days?"

After the silence, a civil servant stood up obediently.

"Report to the Prime Minister... I am an official, I have something to report."

Seeing the terrified appearance of the civil servant, Cao Cao was a little puzzled, and motioned him to speak.

"Yes... it's a severe plague in the Youzhou area. Now the imperial court has not sent officials down, and the people's hearts are loose...Because the prime minister was busy attacking Soochow before, the lower officials didn't report it. Now it seems... it's getting worse."
