Cao Cao originally wanted to appease Zhang Liao and Zhang He, but neither of them had any objections, so he followed the flow and recorded the military sticks of the Xiahou brothers.

Guo Jia looked at the four fierce men in front of him and suddenly said, "Lord, since Sun Quan has given us a ranking, we might as well make one within us, such as Zhongkang, Miaocai, Yuan Rang, Wen Yuan, Jun Yi, etc. We can give a name called General Six Tigers, or add Mancheng, and Wen is called General Eight Tigers. It means that everyone is a peerless general, regardless of the level, so that everyone doesn't have to worry about the ranking. That can't be counted."

Cao Cao thought this idea was good, so he asked, "How about a general who sets you a certain level of superiority? Zhongkang, do you have any objections?"

Xu Chu has the highest martial arts skills here, and it is indeed a bit aggrieved by others. However, Xu Chu is very obedient to Cao Cao, and is very rough and meticulous, and said, "Lord, I am better at martial arts skills, but I am not as good as everyone in commanding wars, I have no objection."

Seeing that Xu Chu was fine, Cao Cao knew that the others were fine, so he said, "Okay, let's gather in the big tent, and we will enthrone our Eight Tiger General."

Soon everyone arrived, Cao Cao sat in the main seat and said, "The chief general, Sun Quan, made a list of peerless generals, and used the name of the emperor to publish it. This was simply a forgery. His only son Sun Quan, was like a famous general in the world, and even the original minister dared not be so arrogant. However, our soldiers were also affected by this. So after I asked the emperor, I would enthrone eight real peerless generals in our army as the Eight Tiger Generals. No matter how high or low they were, they were all for my peerless generals."

"Lord is wise." No matter whether there are any other practical benefits, you can get this name first.

Cao Cao immediately announced that he would grant Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Li Dian and Yu Jin as the Eight Tiger Generals, and promised to give exclusive swords to the Eight Tiger Generals after the war, and inform the entire army.

Then Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to appease Jia Xu who was left behind in Xudu for him, but he was actually very disappointed with Zhang Xiu, because Cao Cao's Eight Tiger Generals did not have him, but Cao Cao personally talked with him and told him his reasons: in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the Cao family with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu sacrificed some. Then Cao Cao could give the Cao family an explanation, and at the same time he could tell everyone that Sun Quan's list was nonsense. Zhang Xiu also expressed his loyalty under Cao Cao's comfort. Cao Cao was very happy and satisfied with his life.

After dealing with these, Cao Cao and Guo Jia began to discuss Sima Yi's affairs. Cao Cao was also very worried about Sima Yi's. Cao Cao had recruited several times, but Sima Yi always refused to come for various reasons. The Sima family is a large clan, and there are many people who are used by Cao Cao, so Cao Cao is not good at using force. But this time it is different. I won't say whether Sima Yi's ranking is right, but even Sun Quan of Jiangdong knows that he is so talented, so he must be a talent. Moreover, the Sima family may have a close relationship with Jiangdong, which is the one who is most worried about Cao Cao.

But Guo Jia found it difficult to believe this matter and said, "Lord, I think the Sima family should have nothing to do with Jiangdong. The thing that Sun Quan of Jiangdong is doing now is completely contrary to the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius. From style to etiquette, vernacular to system, they are separated from the Han system. Moreover, they do not suppress merchants and thoroughly clean up uncooperative families. The Sima family is a big family and has inherited the poetry and books. How can it be related to Sun Quan?"

"But we are not that able to determine how capable he has in Sima Yi. Why is Sun Quan so clear? What Sima Yi said above is reasonable and well-founded, and it doesn't seem like he is making up."

Guo Jia said: "Then let's find him and use it. The talents must not be let go."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "What if it's not used?"

"Then kill it, and a dead person will not have any effect."

Cao Cao said again: "My intuition also thinks that Sima Yi is not simple. If he is really ambitious, what should he do if he is betrayed?"

Guo Jia asked back: "Don't the lord be sure to control a scholar?"

"Haha, that's right, I'm worried about the future." Cao Cao was considering his juniors.

"It would be better if you don't give military power. And if the lord chooses a sufficiently excellent successor, don't worry about anything."

Cao Cao's doubts went all out and said, "But, Fengxiao, how should we find him? I hope he can emerge on his own, otherwise he would have to sacrifice the Sima family."

Sima Yi hid under Cao Ren as a military officer, and naturally saw the booklet on the list of the Unparalleled Advocates. He knew him so well in his evaluation and introduction. Sima Yi felt that he was a damn. How could anyone in this world know him so well besides himself? Sima Yi was very worried. One is that the ranking is too high, but this is actually an unknown junior, and the impact will not be too great. However, the introduction of his own is so clear that it makes people suspect that he has connections with the Sima family and Jiangdong, which is very dangerous.

So Sima Yi had to jump out first. Sima Yi also knew that once he jumped out, it meant that he was indeed a smart person, but if he didn't jump out, he would be his family to bet, so he didn't dare to block this. So the next day, Sima Yi directly admitted his identity to Cao Ren and then appeared in front of Cao Cao. Sima Yi and Cao Cao admitted that he was because Cao Cao already had many powerful advisers and was unwilling to have no room to display his talents, so he refused to become an official.

But what Sun Quan did not expect was that his move was originally intended to mess up Cao's camp, but Guo Jia and Cao Cao did not let Cao Cao's turmoil. Instead, they used Sima Yi for Cao Cao in advance. Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were also comforted. In the end, there was only one Yang Xiu. This was already hated by Cao Cao and would be cut off sooner or later. However, the Emperor of Han actually had little power and had little impact. If Xiliang wanted to be in chaos, he would probably wait until Chibi decided to win and lose. Ma Teng was not a fool.

After receiving the secret report from Cao's camp, Sun Quan felt very disappointed and said to Pang Tong: "Cao Cao's reaction was too fast and he had no gains."

Pang Tong said: "This is actually normal. We don't let it work at once. The key is that everyone will always leave some shadows in their hearts, and we can use them at some point."

Sun Quan said: "I just don't like the things we spent so much money to make, and I hope Zilong won't let me down."
