Three Kingdoms: Damn Liu Daer, dare to steal my horse!

"Just now, I received the news that Zhou Yu was determined to lead the rest of the troops to attack Jingzhou."

"The situation is urgent, and I would like to invite you all to discuss this matter together today."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, all the officials whispered.

"Zhou Yu is so courageous! Jiangdong is about to fall, how dare he lead a group of soldiers with low morale to attack Jingzhou?"

"Little Zhou Yu, it's ridiculous!"

"Prime Minister, why should I be afraid of him? Let him attack, even if he leads those soldiers, he may not be able to break through Jingzhou's defense!"

"Yes! General Cao Ren is guarding Jingzhou!"

……

Hearing these people's words, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning slightly.

These people who speak are really short-sighted.

Zhou Yu is ridiculous?

Zhou Yu is not funny at all.

He made an extremely correct decision.

At this time, it is really difficult for me to lead the army back to the south.

There is only one reason, and that is Ma Teng.

Therefore, Jingzhou is in a state of no reinforcements.

Cao Ren had only 10,000+ soldiers under his command. If Jingzhou soldiers were instigated to rebel, Jingzhou would most likely be lost.

The loss of Jingzhou is not unacceptable to Cao Cao, but the price is too high.

"Everyone, is there a way to retreat from the enemy?"

Cao Cao spoke slowly, interrupting everyone's discussion.

In fact, Cao Cao planned to ask Bai Chuan first to see how Bai Chuan viewed this matter.

But if you think about it carefully, you're actually not that anxious.

It's just that today, Cao Cao asked the opinions of the ministers by the way.

After all, Zhou Yu's soldiers had just lost a battle. Even if they led the army to leave, they knew very well that Jiangdong would fall completely within a month.

With these soldiers, it is really difficult to break through Jingzhou's defenses.

Moreover, Zhou Yu has no ability to instigate the Jingzhou soldiers in the city.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou can be described as feuds.

After all, Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong, was killed by Liu Biao.

Because of this, people on both sides have constant small frictions, and they are extremely jealous, so how could they help each other?

At this moment, Cheng Yu slowly stepped forward and said:

"Reporting to Duke Wei, I think that there is no need to worry about Zhou Yu for the time being."

"Now our biggest enemy should be Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui and others who marched to besiege Xudu before."

"There are also potential hidden dangers such as the Huns."

"If the focus is placed on the south again, I'm afraid the north will not live in peace."

As soon as Cheng Yu's words came out, many ministers immediately joined in the discussion.

This is what Cao Cao is thinking at the moment.

Perhaps, there is no need to worry about that Zhou Yu.

However, at this moment, Jia Xu stood up and said:

"Wei Gong, the minister's idea is different."

"I think that just after taking the land of Jingzhou, our army only left [-] soldiers to guard the city, which is a great hidden danger."

"Although General Cao Ren defends the city well, the Jingzhou army is not trustworthy."

"With such a hidden danger, if Jingzhou is at fault, then Sun Quan and Liu Bei will be very close to Xudu."

"This matter should not be underestimated!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao's face moved slightly.

I have to say that Jia Xu hit the point.

This is the only thing Cao Cao is worried about.

The Jingzhou Army cannot be trusted.

Even if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are credible, they cannot command all Jingzhou troops.

Cao Ren can defend the city, but if there is an internal support in the city, no matter how good Cao Ren is, it is impossible to resist.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun slowly stood up and said in a deep voice:

"The general thinks that what Wen He said is reasonable, and the general is willing to lead an army to help Zixiao!"

After Xiahou Dun stood up, Xiahouyuan and others immediately stood up one after another and asked soldiers to support Jingzhou.

But Cao Cao didn't move at all, he looked at Bai Chuan, Sima Yi and the others in a blink of an eye and said:

"Zhongda, Jingming."

"Why don't you two say a word?"

1 Chapter Fifty

In fact, Cao Cao originally planned to only ask Bai Chuan for his opinion.

But at this moment, he just saw Sima Yi.

Cao Cao still had a deep impression of Sima Yi.

He was reluctant to become an official at the beginning, although he still came in the end, but he was not very willing to give advice.

It seems that he is unwilling to integrate into the court.

But Cao Cao is very accurate in seeing people.

Sima Yi is not a thing in the pool.

Although he was given to Cao Pi as an aide at this time, Cao Cao still pays attention to Sima Yi all the time.

Now all the ministers are discussing this matter, but Sima Yi has not said a word.

This made Cao Cao curious about what Sima Yi was thinking.

Seeing this, Sima Yi had no choice but to stand up, bowed and saluted:

"Reporting to Duke Wei, I think that Zhou Yu may not be able to win Jingzhou then."

"Moreover, Zhou Yu is not the only one coveting Jingzhou, but also Liu Bei."

"Jingzhou is a battleground for military strategists. If the two are fighting, you might as well give up one or two cities and let them fight."

"This alliance between Sun and Liu is not reliable in my eyes."

"In this way, at least they can be delayed for a long time."

"If you want to completely win Jingzhou, it will take at least a year."

"Since Ma Teng is right in front of you in Xiliang, our army should still focus on Ma Teng."

Hearing this, Cheng Yu couldn't help shaking his head frequently and said:

"What Zhong Da said is wrong."

"It's hard for Jingzhou to be conquered immediately, but how can Xiliang be conquered at will?"

"Xiliang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are many cavalry, and before that, they were able to bring out an army of 30 to Xudu!"

"Such power cannot be underestimated."

"If we attack Xiliang, I'm afraid one year may not be enough!"

"At that time, if Jingzhou is captured, what should we do?"

But Sima Yi argued hard:

"Master Cheng, you might as well think about it. Jingzhou originally belonged to Liu Biao. Our army just took Jingzhou, and the morale of the army and the people are not stable."

"If you risk Ma Teng's surprise attack on Xu Du and defend Jingzhou."

"But it's hard to get back in a short time."

"By then, wouldn't it be worth the money to steal the chicken?"

For a time, there were different opinions, and the officials insisted on their own opinions, arguing endlessly.

The entire hall was bustling with people, and it was difficult to make a final decision for a while.

Jingzhou and Xiliang are equally important, but they can only choose one of them now, and it is really difficult now.

But Bai Chuan looked at the crowd without saying a word.

There is some truth to what these people say.

But regarding Jingzhou, they ignored the most important point.

Sima Yi saw that Liu Bei also wanted to win Jingzhou, but he thought Liu Bei was not as important as Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu, or even Jiangdong as a whole, has absolutely no bargaining chip to compete with Liu Bei!

The biggest hidden danger in Jingzhou is Liu Bei!

Moreover, if Liu Bei starts to fight for Jingzhou, let alone a year, I am afraid that it will take less than half a year to get all of Jingzhou in his pocket.

One of the reasons is Liu Bei's surname.

Liu Bei's surname is Liu.

Another reason is Liu Qi in Liu Bei's hands.

This is the most important factor that can bring Jingzhou home.

If more than 20 troops from Jingzhou turned against the water together, the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing that the ministers were arguing endlessly, Cao Cao frowned slightly, waved his hands and said:

"OK OK!"

"Everyone is right, don't quarrel!"

After saying that, the ministers immediately fell silent.

Cao Cao did not make a decision, but turned to look at Bai Chuan:

"Jingming, why don't you express your opinion?"

"How do you feel about this matter?"

Hearing this, all the officials couldn't help but focus their eyes on Bai Chuan.

With so many courtiers in the court, Cao Cao did not make a choice, but instead asked Bai Chuan for his opinion?

Bai Chuan could clearly feel that some gentry and courtiers cast malicious eyes on him.

In their eyes, they wished they could get rid of themselves now.

Now seeing Cao Cao attaching so much importance to himself, I couldn't help it.

However, Bai Chuan did not intend to pay attention to them, but nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Duke Wei, I've just been thinking about a question."

Cao Cao couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and immediately said:

"what is the problem?"

Bai Chuan said without thinking:

"My lords, do you really think that Zhou Yu is the biggest enemy of Jingzhou?"
