But as soon as he said these words, Cao Hong and others on the other side immediately glared at Xi Yu.

The gap between the general and Sikong is not the slightest bit.

There is a world of difference between the two.

The general has the power to open a government, but Sikong does not.

When Cao Cao was able to open a government, all of his Cao Ying generals would benefit from it, especially Cao Hong and others who were Cao Cao's relatives.

This is related to the interests of Cao Hong and others.

As soon as Xi Yu finished speaking, these people couldn't sit still.

"Brother, this is not allowed!"

"How can you give up the post of general to others easily? What's more, this is my brother's effort to protect the emperor and please him. What does it have to do with Yuan Shao?"

"Having the position of Sikong has already given Yuan Shao face!"

Cao Hong spoke up, and Xiahou Dun and others behind him followed suit.

Xi Yu didn't say anything, he just put forward the suggestion, and Cao Cao needed to consider the rest.

As for how to choose, it is Cao Cao's business.

But at this moment, Xun Yu beside him couldn't help but speak out.

"Lord, what Feng Yi said makes sense!"

Some things, in the final analysis, are actually not complicated in nature.

For Xun Yu, it didn't actually matter whether Cao Cao was a general or not.

The important thing is that with the Emperor by his side, Cao Cao can do much more than before.

Whether he is a general or not, what difference does it make!

Yuan Shao disliked the post of Sikong, partly because Cao Cao served as general and had a higher status than him.

On the other hand, with Yuan Shao's current power, Sikong's position is simply not worthy of the other party's power.

Cao Cao said that the other party was Sikong, which meant that he did not give Yuan Shao any face.

Cao Cao, who came back to his senses, naturally understood the truth.

The main hall fell silent.

Cao Hong and others still had some resentment on their faces, but Xun Yu and the other counselors didn't say much.

After a while, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and looked at Xi Yu.

Then, he smiled.

"This is reasonable. Tomorrow I will announce that Yuan Shao is the general!"

It’s just the position of a general. Cao Cao is not a fool after all.

This discussion is over!

Regarding Cao Cao's final choice, Xi Yu had already anticipated it, but he himself had no feelings at all.

It's just that Cao Hong and others felt a little unhappy about Xi Yude's suggestion.

……

In mid-November, Cao Cao retired from the post of Sikong and arrived at Yecheng with an edict to declare Yuan Shao as general.

"Congratulations, lord!"

After receiving the imperial edict conferring Yuan Shao the title of general, Guo Tu and others quickly congratulated Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shaozhen looked at the letter sent to him by Cao Cao, and his eyebrows raised unconsciously.

"Mengde is still the same Mengde!"

Cao Cao's attitude of bowing his head was very sincere. Not only did he repeatedly praise Yuan Shao in his letters, but he also sent envoys to deliver a lot of property.

After reading the letter, Yuan Shao felt particularly comfortable.

"My lord, Cao Mengde's move is nothing more than worrying that my lord will attack Yanzhou in the spring!"

"My Lord must not be deceived!"

Seeing Yuan Shao's attitude at this moment, Ju Shou felt a little bad in his heart.

Hearing this, Yuan Shaodao hesitated.

Without this edict from the general and the letter from Cao Cao, this battle would have been fought.

But now, Cao Cao has just sent something, and it would be too inappropriate to turn around and attack the opponent again!

"This!"

Yuan Shao hesitated

Xu You on the side suddenly raised his hands and said:

"My lord, now that Cao Mengde has respected my lord as a general, I think this battle is unnecessary!"

"Now that my lord is in control of the three continents, the most important thing right now is to unify the northern border. If my lord can annex the land of the merged states, great things can be expected!"

Xu You spoke, and Yuan Shao nodded unconsciously.

The other party is right, the current goal of the entire Jizhou is to merge with the state.

At the moment, he really has no time to pay attention to Cao Cao.

Moreover, Yuan Jun recently received news that Lu Bu, who had fled from Xuzhou before, seemed to have appeared in Bingzhou with his men.

And Lu Bu's own prestige in Bingzhou is extremely good.

Now that we have returned to Bingzhou, everyone in Bingzhou turned their backs on hearing the news of Lu Bu. Bingzhou, which was originally a mouth-watering one, is now about to become a hard nut to crack.

"Let's put aside the attack on Cao Cao next year for now!"

"I want to capture the land of Bingzhou!"

Yuan Shao spoke, and all the advisers and generals below him echoed.

Jushou was a little helpless. He knew that although Cao Cao had given in, judging from the current situation in the world.

In the entire north of the Han Dynasty, the most important people were Yuan and Cao.

There will definitely be a battle between the two in the future.

Whoever wins will dominate the entire north.

Now if we can take the opportunity to suppress Cao Cao, that would be the best thing.

However, Yuan Shao had already decided that his persuasion would not have much effect.

Jushou just sighed, but didn't look at him at this time.

……

"Yuan Shao has stopped his troops!"

Xu County, inside the actor's house.

After receiving the news, Xun Yu immediately came to notify Xi Yu.

Hearing this, he was extremely amused. The only difference was that after Lu Bu fled from Xuzhou, what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu would return to Bingzhou.

Having seen the prosperity of the Central Plains, Xi Yu thought that Lu Bu would probably not return to Bingzhou.

However, the facts are somewhat unexpected.

"Fengyi, your previous suggestion should have been made in private!"

Seeing that Xiyu looked alright, Xun Yu said something leisurely.

Since that day when Xiyu Zhengtang took the initiative to advise Cao Cao to give up his position as general, Cao Cao did not make any statement.

However, the generals of the Cao family were already dissatisfied with Xi Yu.

"Just say it, it won't be a problem!"

Xi Yu naturally felt the attitude of Cao Hong and others, but he didn't care much about it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The situation today is no longer the same as it was in Yanzhou.

As Cao Cao's territory grows bigger and bigger, his interests naturally grow bigger and bigger.

And his existence will eventually make those in the Cao family feel afraid, Xi Yu naturally understands this in his heart.

It's just that he is used to being casual.

He doesn't really care what Cao Hong and others think of him.

"Since you think so, I won't say anything more!"

Seeing Xi Yu's attitude, Xun Yu sighed softly. He also knew some things.
