His father-in-law was going to talk about military affairs again. What a headache!
In the morning, the two guests from Xu Prefecture had talked to him about many military affairs. Now that his father-in-law had come to visit, he wanted to continue the conversation.
Su Yi was puzzled. Why was any random person so concerned about the world's major events?
He could only smile bitterly." I say, father-in-law, let's not talk about those brain-consuming things. I'll accompany you to feed the fish, admire the flowers, and talk about how to get rich. Isn't that good?"”
Cao Cao panicked.
He was having a headache over Yuan Shu's matter and was eager to hear what his son-in-law had to say. However, he was interrupted halfway, and he could not help but suffocate.
"Good son-in-law, my Yang family also has business in Huainan. Yuan Shu becoming emperor will naturally affect my Yang family's business.”
Cao Cao could only pretend to be helpless.
Su Yi's eyes flickered as he asked with a smile,"I say, father-in-law, could it be that you took my plan again and went to borrow flowers from your friends in the government so that your friends could offer them in front of Sikong Cao to take credit?”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he wasn't offering a borrowed flower to Buddha, he was clearly offering a borrowed flower to himself.
"I don't want to expose you. As a businessman, we have to have friends in the government to do things.”
Cao Cao could only go with the flow and tactfully admit it.
He took the opportunity to glance at Cao Jie and secretly gave him a look.
Cao Jie understood and lightly elbowed Su Yi. He begged in a soft voice,"Husband, please tell father…"
His father-in-law was already so humble, and his little wife was also begging him. How could Su Yi refuse?
"Alright, alright, then I'll just say a few words.”
Su Yi could only smile helplessly.
Cao Cao's spirits lifted and he immediately listened attentively.
Su Yi took a sip of tea and slowly said,"Actually, if Cao Mengde wants to deal with Yuan Shu, he doesn't have to make a big fuss himself. He only needs to do these four words."”
"Which four words?" Cao Cao asked.
"Borrowing a knife to kill!"
Su Yi said word by word, his tone faintly revealing a trace of killing intent.
Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly as he suddenly understood.
"Yuan Shu's arrogance in claiming the title of Emperor will surely be despised by the world. Many of his subordinates will definitely oppose him.”
"As long as Cao Mengde sends out an order in the name of the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu will surely be deserted.”
As he spoke, Su Yi pointed in the south direction.
"That little tyrant Sun Ce is the son of Sun Jian. Back then, Sun Jian was a famous loyal minister of the Great Han Dynasty who wanted to take down Dong Yingxiong.”
"Now that Yuan Shu has declared himself emperor and become a traitor of the Great Han Dynasty, how could Sun Ce, as Sun Jian's son, bear the infamy of being a traitor?”
"Moreover, Sun Ce was ambitious to begin with. Now that he has conquered River East, his strength is strong.”
"Cao Mengde only needs to reward Sun Ce and order him to attack Yuan Shu. Sun Ce will gladly accept the decree and immediately fall out with Yuan Shu!”
Su Yi's words were clear and echoed in Cao Cao's ears, gradually dispersing the dark clouds in front of him.
"That little tyrant is far away in River East, but he has seen through him so thoroughly. Yes, this Sun Ce is indeed a sharp knife that can be used by me."
Cao Cao stroked his long beard and nodded.
Su Yi said a lot and was momentarily thirsty.
Seeing this, Cao Jie hurriedly served the fragrant tea."Husband, moisten your throat first."
Su Yi took the cup and drank a few mouthfuls before turning his gaze to the east.
"Let's talk about Lu Bu."
"In fact, ever since Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, Yuan Shu had been coveting it. He had even sent troops north in an attempt to take Xuzhou.”
"Right now, Yuan Shu wants to marry Lu Bu and force him to become a minister. He wants to indirectly bring Xu Prefecture into his territory.”
"That Cao Sikong only needs to use a trick to lure Lu Bu into refusing to offer his daughter to Yuan Shu for marriage. Yuan Shu will be furious and will definitely send troops to attack Xuzhou.”
"At that time, Lu Bu would naturally become Cao Mengde's knife and help him stab that traitor Yuan Shu.”
After another round of analysis, Su Yi sneered and asked,"In this case, Lu Bu and Sun Ce have betrayed Yuan Shu and attacked from the north and south. Does Cao Mengde still need to personally lead an army to attack Yuan Shu?”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed as the dark clouds in his heart dissipated. He clenched his fists and became excited.
"What a good plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Only he could think of it!”
Cao Cao secretly praised. He looked at Su Yi with even more admiration.
"Husband, what you said makes sense. However, why did Lu Bu refuse to marry Yuan Shu?”
Cao Jie, who was at the side, actually saw a trace of weakness.
Su Yi could not help but look at her again. He thought to himself that this little wife of his had some knowledge.
Cao Cao was reminded and frowned again. He couldn't help but ask,""That's right, son-in-law. Lu Bu is far away in Xiapi, so how could Cao Sikong make Lu Bu fall out with Yuan Shu?”
"I have to admit that our Sikong Cao's luck is extraordinary.”
"Previously, Dong Zhao was willing to help him welcome the Emperor back to the capital. Now, someone is willing to help him drive a wedge between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.”
Su Yi sighed with emotion.
"An insider?"
Cao Cao's eyes became more and more suspicious. He asked curiously," Back then, Sikong Cao took revenge for his father. He attacked Xuzhou several times and killed many Xuzhou people. Who would be willing to be his spy?”
"Chen Deng!"
Su Yi said a name.
"Chen Deng?"
Cao Cao frowned and asked," After Tao Qian died, Chen Deng was the one who supported Liu Bei as the herdsman of Xuzhou. After Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, he took the initiative to submit. Would he be willing to be Cao Sikong's spy?"”
