Chapter 477 Two-pronged approach
"Prime Minister, I happen to know some Taoist priests!"
"Not only do they know how to observe the sky, but they also have some accomplishments in alchemy!"
"You can write to recommend them to serve the prime minister!"
Cheng Yu said quickly.
"Of course, I also know some of them!"
"Many of the Taoist priests in the Taoist temples are hermits. If they can be found to work for the prime minister, the prime minister will definitely be able to become even more powerful!"
Jia Xu said next to him.
"Haha. So good!"
"Leave this matter to Wen Ruo to deal with!"
"Those who know Taoist priests can also write letters and recommend them on their behalf!"
"As long as it is able to serve the country, the truth will definitely be rewarded!"
Hearing what the ministers said, Cao Cao was in a good mood.
Cao Cao also knew about those Taoist priests who hid in the Taoist temples in the deep mountains. Some of them really had real skills.
They just practice Taoism secretly in the mountains, and some Taoist priests have a fanatical pursuit of refining elixirs.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Several people hurriedly bowed their hands to Cao Cao and saluted.
"In that case, do you have anything to add?"
Cao Cao felt that he had achieved his goal, and he could not slack off for a moment in the fight with Jiang Chen, otherwise he would easily be pushed too far away by Jiang Chen.
At that time, if he wants to fight for world hegemony, he may lose his final qualification.
Cao Cao is not a person who just sits and waits to die. Now that he has discovered such a disadvantage, he must work hard to overcome it, and he must not be pulled down by others.
"Prime Minister, I have another idea!"
Sima Yi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and added.
"Oh, let's hear it!"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and looked at him. During this period, as long as it was not too confidential, Cao Cao would accompany Sima Yi to show that he valued him.
After all, in the eyes of many ministers, Sima Yi made a great contribution this time, winning Cao Cao a high-yield potato seed and a lot of money for lease.
With such credit, if he is left out in the cold again, it will chill the hearts of many people.
In order to let other ministers understand that Cao Cao treats meritorious officials preferentially, Cao Cao must pay more attention to Sima Yi even if he is pretending.
In this way, those talented courtiers will not have to worry about not being reused.
As long as you have the ability, you will be reused in front of Cao Cao.
This time, Sima Yi actually came up with another idea, which surprised Cao Cao. This Sima Yi was really becoming more and more difficult for him to see through.
"Prime Minister, what I mean is that you might as well consider those barbarians in the North!"
"Although they don't know how to teach, their fighting power is quite powerful!"
"If the prime minister can give them food, weapons, etc. as rewards, they will surely become a knife in the prime minister's hands, incarnate as executioners, and slaughter the people in Hanzhong!"
"In this way, not only will the people of the Han land panic, but Jiang Chen's unbreakable image will also be completely destroyed, breaking the myth of his invincibility!"
"Even if we can't defeat Jiang Chen, we can still curb Jiang Chen's development, so that Hanzhong can only deal with the barbarian attacks and has no intention of developing anything else!"
"Then the gap in weapons between the Prime Minister and Jiang Chen will be further narrowed, and after a few years, Jiang Chen will no longer be the Prime Minister's opponent!"
Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao sincerely.
He was sincerely giving Cao Cao countermeasures, but he was actually playing a secret game with Jiang Chen. He would definitely become Jiang Chen's opponent in the future.
Sima Yi had to get to know this opponent in advance and get as much information about him as possible.
Only after he cooperated with Jiang Chen to deal with Cao Cao, he was able to become invincible in the battle with Jiang Chen, but now he is constantly consuming Jiang Chen's strength.
For Sima Yi, there are all benefits but no harm.
The stronger the enemy, the greater the threat to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi wasn't worried either, Jiang Chen could be defeated by Cao Cao so lightly, if that was the case, it wouldn't be worth him to cooperate with Jiang Chen.
It was precisely because of such considerations that Sima Yi secretly used the knife behind Jiang Chen's back.
He didn't want Jiang Chen to become too invincible. This would create a powerful enemy for himself, and he would have to constantly consume his strength, using the power in Cao Cao's hands.
"Zhongda's words are very reasonable!"
"Those Huns and other barbarians have been defeated by the truth now, and they are very afraid of the truth. If they can promise benefits, under threats and lures, they will definitely become a sharp knife!"
"I don't know how many of you think?"
Cao Cao nodded, but didn't show his heart, but looked at Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao understood that Sima Yi was always a big hidden danger to him. If this kind of person is used well, it will be of great benefit to Cao Cao.
But if it is not used well, it is likely to be backlashed.
He is like a wolf, if you are always a tiger, then Sima Yi will definitely obey you, but if one day you suddenly become weak.
For example, if you suddenly get a certain disease, the wolf will not only stop listening to you, but will even stretch out its sharp claws to kill the tiger and replace it.
Sima Yi is such a person.
"Prime Minister, I think that you must be cautious when contacting foreigners such as the Xiongnu!"
"If you are not careful, it is very likely that you will be doomed!"
Xun Yu thought for a while and replied.
"Yes, this matter should not be done in public!"
"It should be done secretly, and some people who usually do things very well must be sent to deal with it!"
"Otherwise it's easy to backfire!"
Cheng Yu nodded and agreed.
"Prime Minister, I think that General Sima is very suitable for contacting the Xiongnu and other tribes!"
"He is brave and resourceful, and he will definitely be able to deter those Huns and other alien races!"
"Secondly, General Sima seldom attracts everyone's attention. Even if something goes wrong, it is because outsiders deliberately smeared the prime minister, and the prime minister can deny it at all!"
"In this way, this matter can be accomplished!"
Jia Xu was more straightforward. He looked at Sima Yi with a sinister face, intending to trick him to the end.
The last time I went to contact Jiang Chen, it went so smoothly. This time, it depends on how you do it!
Jia Xu didn't like Sima Yi, because he found that the two had something in common, they were both famous for poisonous tricks, and Sima Yi tended to overwhelm him.
This made Jia Xu feel somewhat threatened, and this Sima Yi was also good at leading troops to fight, which was even stronger than him!
Such hidden dangers must not be kept, otherwise it will inevitably add obstacles to one's future.
Jia Xu wanted Cao Cao to make up his mind to get rid of Sima Yi as soon as possible, and keeping him would be a future trouble.
