Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

The most important thing is that the war is clouded and the Cao family is about to lose. Cao Cao can see at a glance what Hua Yu is thinking about sending Cao Zhang back here.

Yanzhou will be defeated. As for how long it can last, it depends on Cao Cao's ability.

There are two purposes for Hua Yu to do this.

First, persuade Cao Cao to surrender.

It's very simple, Cao's family is all in Yanzhou, surrounded by Hua Yu.

After Cao Cao's defeat, the Cao family will inevitably lose.

Originally, Cao Cao could still leave a bloodline of Cao Zhang.

But now that Cao Zhang was sent back suddenly, it was tantamount to Hua Yu hinting to Cao Cao, surrender, or you will be gone.

Second, kill them all.

Of course, this is the situation after Cao Cao refused to surrender.

After a bloody battle, both sides fought with each other. Once Cao Cao is defeated, he will inevitably lose his family.

Therefore, what Hua Yu means is that you either surrender or exterminate the clan, it depends.

Looking at the child who was less than three years old in front of him, Cao Cao felt helpless. He had to recognize his own flesh and blood.

Seeing Cao Cao's gloomy face, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu didn't dare to say anything.

Although this matter is related to major events in Yanzhou, it is more about Cao Cao's family affairs.

More importantly, since Cao Cao killed Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu had some grudges against Cao Cao.

Talking in front of Cao Cao, even the bohemian Guo Jia dared not speak freely.

"Take Zhang'er down." Cao Cao sighed slightly and waved his hand.

"Here, master." The nanny responded, picked up Cao Zhang, and backed out.

Cao Cao rubbed his temples on both sides, and said bitterly: "The Chinese bandits are so hateful, I will kill them."

At this moment, Cao Ren came over and whispered something in Cao Cao's ear.

"Impossible..." Cao Cao almost jumped up, "This is a conspiracy by the Chinese thieves, I don't believe it."

"Go, arrest those messengers immediately, kill them, and burn the letters."

Cao Ren was also taken aback, and hurriedly responded and left in a hurry.

Cao Cao was still furious. He thumped the table hard and gritted his teeth: "Hua Bandit, you can fool Lu Bu, Han Sui, and Yuan Shao with your divorce scheme, but you can't fool me."

Guo Jia couldn't help asking: "Master, what happened?"

Cao Cao glanced at the two of them, and sighed slightly: "Just now Xu Chu came to report that the shadow guard found out that there are messengers from Hua Yu entering and leaving the residence of the two of you and several generals."

"Ah..." Guo Jia and the two were taken aback.

Guo Jia immediately said: "My lord, this is Hua Ziyi's usual trick of alienation. My lord must not be fooled."

Cheng Yu also said: "Yes, we are absolutely loyal to the lord, how could we do such a betrayal."

But Guo Jia and Cheng Yu said so, but they were really scared in their hearts.

Cao Cao's mentality is far less calm than before.

The most obvious point is that Cao Cao's paranoia has aggravated a lot.

The Shadow Guard Army is a special force established by Cao Cao based on Hua Yu's Shadow Guard Army.

Originally, the Shadow Guard Army was spread all over the territory of various princes, spying on some important information.

But as the rest of the princes perished one by one, Cao Cao became more and more afraid, and became more and more suspicious of the civil and military under his command, so he transferred a large number of shadow guards back, staring at the non-Cao and Xiahou civil and military day and night. mansion.

But if there is any trouble, Cao Cao will be the first to know.

Today's incident is not only the first time it happened, it should be the fourth time.

The messenger was very cunning, he stuffed the letter through the crack of the door, turned around and left.

Naturally, the shadow guards would not let them go, and chased after them to arrest them, but the messengers always took advantage of the crowds on the street to deliver them.

After the messenger got into the crowd, the Shadow Guard would naturally be hard to catch.

Of course, there are times when it cannot be avoided, and the messenger will bite the poison pill in his mouth and commit suicide.

And every time, other letters can be found from the person who sent the letter.

For example, the messenger sent a letter to Cheng Yu. Once he died of taking poison, there would definitely be a reply letter from Cheng Yu to Hua Yu on his body.

Of course, this reply letter is fake, it was copied by Hua Yu.

But because Hua Yu's calligraphy is unrivaled in the world, the handwriting he imitated is definitely to the point where it can be faked.

Cao Cao also asked many experts to compare these handwritings, and the result turned out to be the real handwriting.

This made Cao Cao very angry.

Deep down in his heart, Cao Cao also understood that this was definitely Hua Yu's conspiracy.

But the growing suspicion made Cao Cao deeply suspicious of the non-Cao and non-Xiahou civil and military under his command.

The result of this suspicion directly led to Cao Cao's withdrawal of their power.

On the one hand, he knew that this was Hua Yu's conspiracy, but on the other hand he had to fall into the trap. Cao Cao was actually very distressed.

Generals, what they receive is military power.

For Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and the others, it was tricks.

For example, before Guo Jia and Cheng Yu offered advice, Cao Cao basically accepted every advice.

But now, if they offer a plan, Cao Cao will think a lot, use his brain cells to confirm that the plan is okay, and then use it.

Of course, this made Cao Cao very tired.

Knowing that you will die, but you can't surrender, let alone when you will die, this kind of waiting process is actually very painful.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu only knew that Hua Yu had used a scheming scheme, but they didn't know about the letter that was found after the messenger was arrested, and that Cao Cao asked someone to identify the handwriting.

Now that Cao Cao was looking for the two of them to discuss matters, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu basically spoke very little, making the situation a little dull.

The same is true of today's discussion. For an hour, basically not much was said, let alone anything discussed.

Cao Cao was in a bad mood, so he let Guo Jia and Cheng Yu leave.

When Guo Jia and Cheng Yu left, Cao Cao looked at the backs of the two, with a heavy haze.

After leaving the state pastoral mansion, Guo Jia and Cheng Yucai breathed a sigh of relief together, feeling much more comfortable than before.

Cheng Yu sighed, "My lord has changed so much."

"If my lord keeps doing this, I'm afraid Yanzhou will perish."

"Zhong De speaks carefully." Guo Jia immediately snorted, looked behind him, with a look of slight shock on his face, "Shadow guards are all over Puyang, our every move, every word and deed is almost under the control of the lord. "

"If you comment on the lord, you must never say it again, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

Cheng Yu sighed slightly, nodded, and said nothing more.

The two quickened their pace, went to their respective carriages, and went back to their homes.

Where the two were talking just now, a man in black came out from the corner of the wall, glanced at Cheng Yu's and Guo Jia's carriages, and then hurried to the State Shepherd's Mansion to report to Cao Cao.

Shadow guards are all over Puyang City, Guo Jia's words are definitely not alarmist.

There are a total of 3000 Shadow Guards, and there are 500 in Puyang City.
