After listening to Ding Yi's several risks, Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile at Ding Yi:

"It is because of these risks. If His Highness can lead the troops to capture Yamatai now without injuring our navy, we can make His Majesty look upon His Majesty with admiration again!"

Ding Yi sneered in his heart when he heard this.

If Cao Zhi had an accident at sea or died unexpectedly after a landing operation.

Then all is lost.

This risk was too great. He didn't think Yang Xiu's proposal was a good way to help Cao Zhi obtain the crown prince's position.

Then Ding Yi wanted to refute Yang Xiu again, but Yang Xiu did not give Ding Yi a chance to refute.

He asked directly to Cao Zhi:

"Is Your Highness determined to fight to the death for the position of Crown Prince?"

"If not, then I might as well not tell you this plan!"

In order to help Cao Zhi obtain the position of prince and not let his efforts over the years go to waste, Yang Xiu finally had to use aggressive tactics against Cao Zhi.

Although Cao Zhi agreed with what Yang Xiu said, he couldn't help but retreat after hearing Ding Yi describe the risks.

If he really died at sea or on Yamatai, then everything would really be over.

Even if he loses to Cao Pi in the battle for the crown prince, the worst he can do is be crowned king and live his life in an ordinary way.

And although Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were rivals in the battle for the crown prince, apart from this point, as brothers, the relationship between the two was still good.

Cao Zhi believed that even if he lost the battle for the crown prince, his life would not be in danger.

However, after Cao Zhi heard Yang Xiu's method of stimulating generals, he thought about the efforts he had made for the crown prince position after the Wei Dynasty unified the world, and he was really unwilling to fall short at the last moment.

"Please Mr. Yang, it doesn't hurt to say anything!"

Finally, Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and said to Yang Xiu, even if Yang Xiu's plan was to be realized at the risk of his own life.

But considering that the ultimate reward is the position of prince, for the future emperor of the Wei Dynasty, this risk is worth taking.

Ding Yi, who originally wanted to refute Yang Xiu, saw that Cao Zhi had already agreed, and immediately stopped trying to persuade him.

However, if Ding Yi feels that it is too risky after listening to Yang Xiu's suggestion, he will still work with his brother Ding Gong to persuade Cao Zhi not to take the risk.

After all, the future prospects of the two brothers have been completely bound to Cao Zhi.

If something really happened to Cao Zhi, then the good life of the two brothers could be said to be over.

When Yang Xiu saw Cao Zhi agreeing, he couldn't help but nodded happily.

Although this plan is a bit risky for Cao Zhi, how can Yang Xiu put Cao Zhi into a place of certain death?

Then Yang Xiu began to tell Cao Zhi, as well as Ding Yi brothers, Yang Jun and Jia Kui, about his plan.

"Your Highness can go with General Wen to see the Queen of Yamatai in the name of trade."

"After controlling Queen Yamatai, we must find a way to take her out of the palace, and do so without alerting the palace guards as much as possible."

".Finally, we used Queen Yamatai as a hostage to force the defenders of the port to open the port, allowing our soldiers from the Wei Dynasty to land and completely control the palace of Yamatai."

"And His Highness also wants to promise to the Queen of Yamatai that he will not harm the people of Yamatai. After becoming the crown prince, he will vigorously develop trade with Yamatai, and will still actually put Yamatai under the rule of the queen."

After Yang Xiu finished explaining all his plans, he felt a little dry. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at the reactions of Cao Zhi, Ding Yi and others.

Ding Yi, who had been refuting Yang Xiu, felt that after listening to Yang Xiu's strategy, the probability of its success was high.

Yang Jun and Jia Kui, who also judged the feasibility of Yang Xiu's plan, couldn't help but nod in approval after thinking about it carefully.

Finally, Yang Xiu locked his eyes on Cao Zhi, who was frowning and thinking, waiting for Cao Zhi's answer.

After Cao Zhi analyzed the feasibility of Yang Xiu's plan, he finally nodded to Yang Xiu and said:

"Sir's plan is very good, I decided to give it a try!"

"good!"

Yang Xiu couldn't help but said loudly after hearing this.

It is always a thousand times better to give it a try than to sit back and wait for death.

After Cao Zhi made up his mind, he set off to the palace to meet Cao Cao the next day.

Unexpectedly, I met my brother Cao Pi again this time.

After the two said hello, they did not choose to visit Cao Cao together.

Because neither Cao Zhi nor Cao Pi wanted the third person to know the answer they wanted to get from Cao Cao.

Cao Pi went to visit Cao Cao first.

After asking Cao Cao whether he could lead the troops to conquer Yamatai in the future, he received only two words in reply from Cao Cao:

Not urgent.

After hearing this, Cao Pi was determined and believed that there was a 90% chance that the crown prince position would be his.

In Cao Pi's view, since Cao Cao said there was no rush, it should mean that after canonizing himself as the crown prince, he would then allow himself to personally lead the troops to conquer Yamatai, so that his achievements would be spread throughout the Wei Dynasty.

Lay a good foundation for his future ascension to the throne as emperor.

After Cao Pi left the palace with joy in his heart, there was no look of joy on his face. He left the palace and returned to his mansion as usual.

Later, after Cao Zhi met with Cao Cao, he told Cao Cao that he would personally lead troops to attack Yamatai now, and relayed Yang Xiu's plan to Cao Cao.

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought it was feasible, but still said to Cao Zhi:

"There's no need to rush."

In Cao Cao's heart, he still didn't want Cao Zhi to take such a big risk, and he became increasingly unhappy with Yang Xiu who proposed this strategy.

Although when Cao Zhi proposed this strategy to Cao Cao, he said he came up with it, but Cao Cao heard that it was Yang Xiu's hand.

When Cao Zhi saw that Cao Cao did not immediately refuse or directly agree, he felt a little disappointed but also retained a glimmer of hope.

Then Cao Zhi also left the palace.

After Cao Zhi and Cao Pi visited Cao Cao this time, a rumor spread out somewhere in Yecheng:

That is, Wenpin, the general of the Wei navy, once again discovered the route to Yamatai on the sea, and the land of Yamatai was rich and full of gold and silver.

Among the two His Highnesses, whoever can personally lead the troops to capture Yamatai will be canonized as the Crown Prince by His Majesty the Emperor!

After Cao Cao learned of this rumor, he chuckled and ignored it.

The crown prince's position has been decided. Whether this rumor was spread deliberately by Cao Zhi or Cao Pi, it can be said to be half correct.

If the order in the rumors is changed, it will become true.
