Back then, for the sake of the Cao family, the Xiahou family took the initiative to weaken Xi Yu's achievements and tried their best to attack Xi Yu's future, which eventually led to Xi Yu's rebellion.

He also knew that this scene was his retribution, the retribution of his Xiahou family, the circle of cause and effect.

Taking a deep breath, Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Pi and nodded.

"What Xi Lingjun said is true. This matter started because of me and should be solved because of me."

Seeing that Xiahou Dun agreed, Cao Pi also nodded. Now in Cao's camp, only Xiahou Dun has the prestige to guard Youzhou.

Besides, Xiahou Dun is only in his forties this year and is still in his prime. Moreover, he has been guarding the Northland for many years and has such a strong prestige in the Northland. He is the best choice to guard Youzhou.

After nodding lightly, Cao Pi looked at Xi Zhicai again and asked:

"The matter in Youzhou has been resolved, what should be done next?"

After a moment of silence with his eyes closed, Xi Zhi said slowly:

"Next, our army can send a large army into Hanzhong to force Zhang Lu to surrender with great power. If Zhang Lu surrenders, he can secretly help our Cao family seize Xichuan."

"The most important thing is that with Zhang Lu's help, our army can capture Xichuan much faster than Liu Bei's capture of Xichuan."

"The capture of Xichuan must be done very quickly. We must not fall behind Liu Bei. If Liu Bei is allowed to capture Xichuan, it will be even more difficult for our army to capture it again.

And if our army possesses Xichuan, we can sustain it for another ten years in the future war against Xi Yu..."

When Xi Zhicai said that he could survive for ten more years, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but show an extremely bitter look on his face. It was really extremely sad!

I think back when he followed the late lord Cao Cao, he could be said to be invincible across the world. No one in the entire Central Plains could withstand the former lord's offensive. At that time, everyone believed that the one who would unify the world in the future would definitely be the late lord.

But it had only been a while, and now they had planned for a long time to obtain the land of Yizhou, and the purpose was just to survive under Xi Yu's hand for ten more years.

In fact, Cao Pi also had certain thoughts about this kind of thing. He naturally knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat his uncle, but in his heart he was strong and refused to admit defeat.

So after Xi Zhicai took off the last fig leaf of the Cao Wei Group, his heart was filled with endless sadness.

Xiahou Dun also knew about this, so after Xi Zhicai finished speaking, his face was very ugly, but when he thought about what he had done back then, he didn't feel any regret at all.

All that is left in my heart is a little bit of regret, lamenting that people are different, lamenting that after a hundred years of Duke Cao, I will not only be unable to watch his descendants unify the world, but maybe I will also have to watch Duke Cao.

The inheritance he had worked so hard to build was taken away by his former good brother.

After a moment of sadness, Cao Pi began to recall the plan Xi Zhicai had just mentioned.

"Being on guard against Liu Bei? Are you kidding me? Liu Bei is all alone at the moment and is a lost dog. Even if he enters Yizhou alone, what's so scary about him? Is it possible that he is still afraid of this lost dog biting someone?

?”

In fact, no matter who it is now, Liu Bei and everyone are extremely contemptuous. Moreover, for Cao Pi, even if he cannot defeat his uncle, he can still be regarded as a prince.

His subordinates now have hundreds of thousands of troops. What does he, Liu Bei, have? He, Liu Bei, has nothing. Why should he still be afraid of this man? Do he still have to compete with him for time?

Hearing what Cao Pi said, Xi Zhicai frowned slightly and said:
Chapter completed!
