Therefore, Sima Yi respected him very much and did not dare to be disrespectful at all.

Zhuge Liang responded with a faint salute, and then smiled slightly and said: "Although I have just returned from Xuzhou, I have a guess, sir, is it possible that you are here to receive a title for your lord?"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Xi Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "As expected of Kong Ming, who is so clever and calculating, he can see it at a glance."

"More than that, when I come here, I also want to ask the lord to agree to be granted this title!"

"oh?"

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Why is this? Did you know that I wanted to cook this Sima Yi just now?"

Why do you still bring this up?

Sima Yi was shocked. He felt that if the other party mentioned it a few more times, he might really not be able to go back.

"You must not cook it, my lord!" Zhuge Liang immediately put away the feather fan and said: "This is a sour rotten scholar, and his meat must be sour and smelly. Dong Zhuo was not willing to eat it at the beginning, so why did you try it yourself?"

"Don't try, don't try."

While Xi Yu was putting rice into his mouth, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Then what do you mean? Just tell me!"

"In my opinion, you can be made Duke of the country. In addition to accepting the land of the state and county, we can also allow the army and even the local people to have a good rest. However, before that, there are still several conditions that need to be completed.

"

There's drama!

Sima Yi didn't take the second part of the sentence seriously at all. Anyway, as long as things work out, it'll be fine.

"Please also ask Mr. Kong Ming to explain it in detail. As long as I can solve it, I will definitely agree!"

"Come to think of it, there are really some things that you, Zhongda, can decide!"

Zhuge Liang lightly fanned his feather fan twice and said with a smile on his face. Then he looked at Xi Yu. The two looked at each other and both knew what was going on.

"You also know that we have many banks in Qingxu, and Shopkeeper Qian controls the lifeblood of the entire chamber of commerce. There are also many caravans in those chambers of commerce. What I need you to do is not to stop those caravans from going to Yanzhou.

, Bingzhou and even Liangzhou!"

He walked to the first seat on the lower left side of Xiyu, sat down slowly, and continued to say slowly: "Not only that, you must also respect him, arrange the best inns and meals along the way, and at the same time reduce taxes.

."

Zhuge Liang's explanation is very detailed and complete. At the very least, I can't find anything that needs to be added in Xi Yu.

As long as the business roads in these places can be opened, the economic lifeline of the entire Cao Wei territory will be in his own hands!

A truce is good for the Cao family, as well as for themselves.

Once the war ceases, the two sides will enter a very calm and rapid development space. It is not long before the war situation will undergo earth-shaking changes.

By then, on the surface, it seems likely that the Cao family and he will share the world with Xiyu, but in fact, both sides probably want to destroy each other deep down.

Therefore, when war breaks out again, both sides will definitely fight to the death. If the relationship between the two sides can be eased during this period, even on the surface, they will definitely be able to gain opportunities for development and growth in a few more years.

Maybe Jizhou can be easily captured without a fight!

Sima Yi didn't understand the profoundness of this. He frowned and thought for a long time, and finally nodded blankly and said: "I agreed to this matter. I think Wei Gong will not refuse it. After all, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

."

"I wonder if Mr. Kong Ming has any other requests?"

"It's natural."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and continued: "Now that the first thing is over, let's talk about the second thing. I want you to make Luoyang the capital and rebuild the Luoyang Palace!"

Rebuilding the Luoyang Palace?

This time, Sima Yi was stunned for a long time.

As early as when he was still a boy, he had been to Luoyang. At that time, Luoyang was the capital of several dynasties and was quite prosperous. Although it has come to an end in recent years, it has always been the city he had always longed for when he was young.

The yearning place is full of legends, dragon energy, destiny, and even rumors that Luoyang is the Feng Shui eye of the imperial capital!

If such a legendary place could be rebuilt, it would be a great achievement!

He tried to comfort Cao Pi with the reason that the Han Dynasty was destined to reunite and the emperor was the one everyone expected, so there would be no big problem.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and nodded immediately: "This is feasible, and I agree -"

"good!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang stood up, then bent down and clasped his fists, smiling and saying: Thank you sir, since you agree, then go back and order Cao Jun to withdraw from the ceded land in Jizhou!"

"Huh? Brother Kong Ming, how did you know they had ceded the land?"

"If they can't even do this, do they still have the sincerity to seek peace? How can they lie dormant if they don't cede territory?"

The first half of the sentence was fine, but when he heard the second half, Sima Yi was shocked and felt completely bad.

But it's okay, because he hid it in time, and it was just a momentary change that didn't attract anyone's attention.

After returning the gift, he suddenly didn't know what he should do. He just lowered his head humbly, not knowing whether he should leave.

Xi Yu glanced at it from the corner of his eye and asked a little strangely: "Do you have anything else?"

"Ah? No, no, it's just..."

Sima Yi took two steps forward with a confused look on his face and whispered: "You...are you still cooking...cooking me?"

"How come? You want to die so much?"

Xi Yu glanced at him playfully, and Sima Yi was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said repeatedly: "Thank you so much for your mercy. I congratulate you again. I am really lucky to have a good relationship with Mr. Cao this time."

!”

"In Zhongda's opinion, no matter whose surname is chosen in the end, as long as the surname is not Liu from Jingzhou or Sun from Jiangdong, as long as the Han Dynasty lasts forever, you and my lord will be the heroes of the world regardless of success or failure!"

As Sima Yi spoke, he lowered his head and quickly backed away.

He would never forget the way Cao Cao looked at him with Xi Yu before his death.

At that glance, it was as if he had no clothes on, including the many thoughts deep in his heart.

"What do you think of this person?"

After Sima Yi was gone, Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang.

“It’s interesting!”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "He can endure it and hide it, but I wouldn't be able to do this."

Xi Yu's eyes flickered when he heard this. He still vaguely remembered that Sima Yi's nickname seemed to be Zhonghu?

Tsukatora, as the name suggests, is the person who buried the tiger.

This man endured the death of many heroes in the world, and finally won the world.

He seems to be a small person whose life is always controlled by others, but one day, when this little person shows his fangs, it becomes unbearable for many big people.

This guy is not a good guy at all.

Xi Yu doesn't have any good impressions of him at all.

As far as he knew, Sima Yi ended up stealing the victorious political power of others, and finally he sat on the emperor's chair and became Emperor Xuan of Jin Dynasty.

It is precisely because of his attempt to seek power and usurp the throne that he rewrote the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the entire world. Loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, wisdom, and trust were all in danger because of him. Even the people of the world believed that as long as they were talented, they could become emperors and generals without fear of other moral principles.

Mutually.

"To be honest." Xi Yu put down the bowl in his hand and said, "I actually had murderous intentions towards him several times just now."

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't feel it at all just now.

Aren't we all discussing a problem? In just a few words, murderous intentions arose several times?

"Then... how do you get..."

"Because the time has not yet come!"

Xi Yu smiled and shook his head, and continued: "If I don't kill him now, the Cao family will be separated from and even conflict with the Sima family, which is becoming more and more important. This is a good thing for us."

"As for killing him, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"Right now, we still need to take steps step by step. The most important thing is to first consider how to bring the emperor back to Xiapi!"

"Speaking of the Emperor, the third request I just wanted to say is actually to let them return the Emperor. At the very least, the Emperor cannot be trapped in Yecheng, just..."

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "It's just that I can't say it."

Xi Yu was not surprised by this. After all, Zhuge Liang was a very smart man and he certainly knew the importance of the emperor.

"What are you afraid of?"

Dian Wei wiped the corners of his mouth nonchalantly and said, "It's one thing to say it or not, but it's another thing to do it or not. At worst, we can steal the emperor back!"

While he was speaking, Xi Yu had already unfolded the topographic map of Jizhou.

This map depicts the topography from Yecheng to Chang'an.

Now it seems that Xuchang and Yecheng will not be regarded as capitals by Cao Pi. After all, these two places are not far from his territory.
