Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

Su Chen hurriedly went to pour Cao Cao a bowl of warm water and sent it to Cao Cao.

It seemed that he felt someone beside him. Cao Cao, who was in a drowsy state, suddenly opened his eyes. The blood-red eyes were full of killing intent. At the same time, he also subconsciously stretched his right hand under the pillow.

There was the seven-star knife he obtained from Lu Bu, cutting iron like mud.

Cao Cao, who held the sword with one hand, finally recovered a bit of a heroic demeanor.

However, Su Chen was not afraid, but smiled gently: "Prime Minister, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Cao Cao had time to carefully look at the person in front of him with his cloudy eyes. After seeing clearly that it was Su Chen, Cao Cao threw the seven-star saber in his hand and grabbed Su Chen's arm.

"Master, you are finally back." Cao Cao said with some fluctuations.

"I'm back!" Su Chen said loudly and forcefully in a heavy tone.

"Just come back, give me the water." Cao Cao nodded, and quickly calmed down his emotions, then took the water bowl from Su Chen's hand and drank it with a big gulp.

Although his hands were shaking, Cao Cao did not ask Su Chen to help.

After drinking a bowl of water, almost half of it spilled out, wetting the shirt on his chest.

But Cao Cao didn't care. After handing the bowl to Su Chen, he raised the pillow by himself and lay on it.

Su Chen went over to put the bowl away, and Cao Cao said, "Master, come and sit."

As he spoke, he patted the bedside.

Su Chen went over and sat down.

"Cough cough..." Cao Cao coughed, Su Chen hurried over and patted Cao Cao's back lightly.

"I'm fine." Cao Cao waved his hand, then looked at Su Chen and said, "Master, you have seen the situation now."

"Chong'er died. He was only nine years old."

Cao Cao said with a sad expression on his face, his eyes full of nostalgia, "Every teacher who has taught him always praises him for being smart, sensible, and talented, but why...why..."

Cao Cao didn't finish his sentence, but he actually had some guesses in his mind, but before the investigation, he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to believe that guess.

"Prime Minister condolences."

Su Chen glanced at Cao Cao sympathetically. At this time, Cao Cao was not a big Han Prime Minister, but just an ordinary father.

Speaking of which, Cao Chong is indeed a genius, his talent is even higher than that of Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang.

"There are also Zhi'er and Pi'er, and now..." Cao Cao choked, but soon returned to normal, with a wise look in his eyes.

"The two of them are being treated now, and I don't know who will survive. My heart aches."

Cao Cao struggled, and there was pain in his eyes.

Su Chen instantly understood.

Don't look at Boss Cao's painful expression and the expression of hopelessness on his face, but in fact, Boss Cao has a clear heart.

Boss Cao is waiting.

Of the two sons, who is alive and who is the real murderer behind the scenes.

Because Boss Cao is not stupid, and now only these three young masters are most qualified to inherit the position under his ass.

And Cao Chong was already dead, and the remaining Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, the one who survived would be the biggest beneficiary.

Naturally, it is the biggest suspect.

I have to say, Cao Cao is really smart.

But this result was too cruel for Cao Cao. The only son who survived was probably the real murderer. Who could stand it?

"Prime Minister, the two sons and auspicious people have their own celestial signs, so nothing will happen." Su Chen replied.

"Well, I hope so." Cao Cao nodded, then closed his eyes.

Su Chen didn't speak.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

Su Chen saw that Cao Cao frowned, thinking that he was waiting for him to speak, but after all, this was Cao Cao's family affairs, and Su Chen didn't want to interfere, so he didn't say much.

And Cao Cao seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and looked at Su Chen with half-open eyes again: "Counselor, what do you think about this matter?"

"Until the matter is investigated clearly, I think it's okay to wait and see." Su Chen shook his head and said.

There was a look of disappointment in Cao Cao's eyes.

He knew that Su Chen wanted to get out of the business, but he also understood, but for a while there was a sense of loss that no one could talk about.

Those words in his heart, there are really few people who can tell them now.

"Forget it, let's wait until the two of them wake up." Cao Cao shook his head and did not force it. Su Chen really couldn't be involved in such matters, and if he was a little bit involved, he would be worried about his life.

And in the future, he will rely on Su Chen to help take care of Cao's foundation.

Now the younger generation, Su Chen is worthy of his trust.

"By the way, strategist, how's the Battle of Xiliang?" Let's not mention the matter of Xuchang, but the situation of the battle in Xiliang still needs to be concerned about a thing or two.

"The prime minister can rest assured that Xiliang will have no worries."

Su Chen explained everything that happened after Cao Cao left. After Cao Cao heard it, his mood finally improved, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Cao Cao grabbed Su Chen's arm and kept slapping: "Fortunately, the military advisor is there, otherwise I'm afraid I don't know how to deal with internal and external troubles."

"The prime minister is joking, but without me, then Xun Lingjun, Cheng Zhongde and other people can do better than me, what's more, the prime minister, don't forget, there is a hermit in Xuchang City, and with him, Cao's There will never be any problems with the foundation." Su Chen said with a faint smile.

"Oh, who can get such praise from the military advisor." Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Even though his body was weak at this time, a rosy color appeared on his face.

"Sima Yi is the one who joins the army in the son's house of Cao Pi." Su Chen smiled and dug a hole for Sima Yi without leaving any traces.

"Sima Zhongda!" Cao Cao frowned.

He naturally knew this person, and he was the leader of the Sima family.

He had asked Sima Yi to become an official in the court several times, but he was rejected by Sima Yi with various excuses. Later, he was forced to let this person go out, but he still did not dare to show his ability, otherwise he would not be able to join the army. official position.

But Cao Cao knew very well that when Sima Yi did this, he was judging the situation and looking for opportunities to come out of the mountain, and he was sure that once Sima Yi came out of the mountain, he would definitely be a blockbuster.

Cao Cao is both looking forward to and preventing Sima Yi from going out, because such a genius is so forbearing, he must have plans.

This can be guessed just by thinking about Gou Jian during the Warring States Period.

After many years of forbearance, even his wife was given away, and finally he took this opportunity to destroy the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop and become a generation of overlords.

Cao Cao did not want to become the king of Wu himself.

Seeing Cao Cao frowning in thought, Su Chen knew that Cao Cao had Sima Yi in his mind, so he continued, "Prime Minister, Sima Yi has been with Young Master Pi for three or four years, right?"

"Well, it's been three or four years." Cao Cao replied, and then he was stunned.

Three or four years?

He quickly sensed something was wrong.

It seems that it was when Sima Yi followed Cao Pi that Cao Pi became elusive and low-key and reasonable.

Everything he explained, he could handle everything in an orderly manner, which made him extremely satisfied.

And more importantly, compared with Cao Zhi who was a few years younger, Cao Pi was quite mature and prudent, which gave him the idea of ​​​​training Cao Pi as a successor.

Could it be that all of this was planned by Sima Yi in secret to fuel the flames?

When he thought that the future heir of Cao's foundation was in the planning of outsiders, Cao Cao's heart was suddenly shocked, and then a strong murderous intention emerged.

He was always the only one who calculated others, and there were still people who dared to calculate him.

Unexpectedly, after many years of hunting, he was pecked by a falcon.

"What a good Sima Yi, but I missed it." Cao Cao sneered, remembering Sima Yi in his heart.

He wouldn't kill Sima Yi. After all, Sima Yi is a member of the Sima family. There is no excuse for him not to kill casually. What's more, Sima Yi is indeed very talented. If you think about being able to keep a low profile for a few years and train Cao Pi, you will know Sima Yi's ability.

If such a person were killed, Cao Cao would feel a pity instead.

Might as well make good use of one or two.

Cao Cao thought, and he had an idea in his heart.

"Let Sima Yi follow Pi'er, so that Pi'er can also be looked after." When Cao Cao said this, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Su Chen instantly read out what Cao Cao meant.

This is the plan to finally remove the grind and kill the donkey.

I couldn't help but mourned for Sima Yi.

"The prime minister said it very well." Su Chen agreed.

Cao Cao nodded, and then continued to brainstorm, "Pi'er has Sima Yi by his side, and Zhi'er has Yang Xiu by his side, one from Runan's Sima family, one from Hongnong's Yang family, and the two great families are playing chess."

"But they're just playing chess. It's really a good idea to use my two sons as chess pieces."

Cao Cao said with a sneer, and he no longer likes Yang Xiu.

Su Chen suddenly felt helpless. When Boss Cao's suspicion came, no one could stop him.

It was true that Sima Yi planned Cao's foundation, but Yang Xiu was really wronged.

Because Yang Xiu did not harm Cao Zhi once until his death, and Hongnong Yang did not pose any threat to Cao's foundation.

It can only be said that Yang Xiu suffered a disaster.

In this regard, Su Chen has nothing to sympathize with. After all, Yang Xiu has an eccentric personality and claims to be smart. Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of Cao Cao.

"Cough cough..."

After some thought, Cao Cao suddenly felt a splitting headache, he coughed a few times, and his face became pale again.

"Prime Minister, your head is ill and your body is weak, don't think too much, just have a good life and recuperate." Su Chen quickly supported Cao Cao and persuaded.

"Ah."

Cao Cao nodded, but did not refuse.

He is very aware of his physical condition and can't stand the toss.

"I'm going to call the doctor for the Prime Minister." Su Chen said and was about to go out.
