[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

"I don't know." Cao Cao hurriedly sat down opposite Guo Jia, without even looking at the map that Guo Jia handed him on the desk before sending troops to Xuzhou, "Even if Lu Bu captured Puyang, the key But it is Zhencheng, with Yuan as the general, Wen Ruo and Zhongde guarding it, Yanzhou cannot be lost."

"Since Minggong is clear, why are you in such a hurry? Just pack up and urge the horse back. Tao Qian is seriously ill and won't live for a few more days." While talking, Guo Jia slowly picked up the clay pot in front of the bottle, The hot boiling tea was poured into the teacup, and the dense mist immediately formed, "Minggong, let's have a cup of tea and calm down."

Cao Cao looked at the steaming tea being handed to him, raised his eyebrows lightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

Guo Jia's casual expression finally showed some cracks due to surprise.

After drinking a cup of scalding tea, Cao Cao still looked at ease. He squeezed the teacup, which was still radiating heat, until there were some cracks in the cup before he stopped his strength.After a long silence, he took out a silk book from his sleeve and handed it to Guo Jia.

The content of the silk book is very simple, but also very speechless.First, he expressed his sorrow for the murder of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and then said that Tao Qian was not responsible for the crime, but that his subordinates were greedy for property.Now that this person has been punished by Tao Qian, and Cao manipulated him into mourning, he should still give priority to the people of Liming, withdraw his troops immediately, and return Xuzhou to peace.

For this, Guo Jia just wanted to sigh with emotion. Fortunately, Cao Song is still alive and healthy. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not only not retreat after reading the content of this letter that turned black and white and shirked responsibility, but would be angry again. The idea of ​​​​attacking Xuzhou Tucheng once before.

Or, the person who wrote this letter was not to understand the siege of Xuzhou, but to anger Cao Cao?

The advantage to him is--

The answer seemed to be on the verge of coming out, Guo Jia was about to return the silk scroll to Cao Cao, but when he looked down, he saw the signature on the silk scroll, and his expression changed drastically.

"Minggong, kill this man." Without hesitation, Guo Jia pointed to the word "Liu Bei" on the silk script and said sharply, his eagerness was completely different from the laziness of the past.

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment. Although he was annoyed at this person named "Liu Bei", he also thought of the purpose of sending him this letter.But at the same time, it also aroused some of his heart to cherish his talent. If this person uses it well, it might be a help.If it doesn't work well, it's just a matter of laughing it off. There's no need to kill such a small person.

And why did Guo Jia get so emotional?

After all, Cao Cao is not Guo Jia who knows the general trend of history.Seeing the doubt in Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia immediately reacted to his gaffe, calmed down, and explained: "The purpose of this person is Xuzhou. If we leave him now, even if Tao Qian dies, it will be difficult for Xuzhou to let him go in secret." Our guys take over."

"Leave this Xuzhou to Tao Qian for the time being. Or - Liu Bei."

"Ming Gong?!"

"Lü Bu came prepared, and there are many people in Yanzhou responding. Even if we were prepared, we can only avoid their edge," Cao Cao said while pointing to the map to Guo Jia, "First break the siege of Zhencheng, Take the city as the base and attack Puyang. If Puyang is not broken, then Dingtao and Yongqiu will be broken instead. In addition to the internal consolidation time of Yanzhou, it will take at least a year."

"And a year later—"

Halfway through Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia leaned forward and sighed. When he heard Cao Cao's next words, his brows moved slightly.

"So, Minggong's intention is——"

Cao Cao nodded and smiled knowingly with Guo Jia.

Getting up to send Cao Cao out of the tent, in the bitter cold wind, Guo Jia tucked his hands into his sleeves, paced, and just happened to see Xun You who was also outside, so he went up to meet him.

"What's the matter today, my lord?"

"Huh?" Xun You asked suspiciously, "What did the lord tell you, you said that?"

So, Guo Jia recounted what happened just now, and Xun You was also surprised when he heard it:

"These lords have just talked to You, and the military order to return to the division has been issued to all armies."

"So," Guo Jia shrugged, "Since Duke Ming and you have finished discussing these matters, what are you doing here? Jia thought it was something unexpected at first, but in the end he only said these things. "

"Perhaps, it is not an accident, but something that is expected but unwilling to believe."

"...?"

"Feng Xiao, you have always been curious, what kind of person is the lord in your eyes?"

Guo Jia's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he replied in a deep voice: "There is no one other than the lord who makes peace with the world."

"What about other than that?"

"What else should there be?"

Looking at the doubts in Guo Jia's eyes that didn't seem fake at all, Xun You sighed.Shaking his head helplessly, he said: "Fengxiao, the lord is the master of the Ming Dynasty, the overlord, but also, he is also an individual."

This kind of thing, Guo Jia, who is familiar with people's hearts, should be clearer than Xun You, but facing Cao Cao, Guo Jia is slow in some aspects.

"Let's not talk about this, how is the situation in Zhencheng?"

"How does Jia know?"

"Come on." Xun You glanced lightly at Guo Jia, and said, "Are there no octopus guards in Lu Bu's army and in Zhencheng City? Can't there be any news?"

"So?" Guo Jia said, "It seems that Jia can't spread anything about the guard. Unless——you finish what you just said." Cao Cao came to him so strangely, what is the reason?

"Fake the public to benefit the private." Xun You scolded with a smile.

"To each other." Guo Jia chuckled, and raised his hand to Xun You and Zhang Jinbo, "I know you are worried about your uncle. To be honest, sometimes Jia doesn't know who is the elder between you two sons, uncles and nephews. Look. It appears that Wen Ruo is protecting you, but secretly you are taking care of him."

"Uncle is upright, but there are some things..." As he spoke, Xun You read the content on the brocade at a glance, and his brows relaxed, "If this person goes, there will be no worries in Zhencheng with Uncle here."

"Of course, you think you are the only one who is worried about Wen Ruo's failure? By the way, why is the lord—"

"Zhang Miao, Chen Gong."

After finishing speaking, Xun You turned and left, leaving Guo Jia alone, frowning in the cold wind and thinking.After a long time, he slowly walked back to the tent again, looking at the empty teacup on the desk, his eyes were dark and he couldn't see what was going on.

At this time, Zhencheng, thousands of miles away, was already covered with defensive equipment. Standing among the soldiers lying behind the wall, Xun Xun looked at the army approaching the city with a solemn expression, his fists clenched, and his robes were blown by the strong wind. Blow up.

Puyang has been lost, and other cities in Yanzhou have also fallen one after another. This city of Zhen must not be lost again.

This great trust was given to him by the master before the expedition, and he must not let it down.

"Wen Ruo." At this time, Cheng Yu, who had gone to the south gate of Zhencheng to arrange and command the guards and equipment, walked to Xun's side, "The person who came is Guo Gong."

Xun nodded.As the governor of Yuzhou, Guo Gong was the former official of Yanzhou before Cao Cao came. He was capable enough to stay in the post, but because he was not Cao Cao's aide, it was expected that he would play the rudder at this time.

However, this kind of person could have surrendered to Cao Cao after he entered Yanzhou, and now he can be sent by Lv Bu when his army comes, so it is not possible to persuade him to fight back against Lv Bu after he has obtained enough benefits.

Even if it doesn't work, this kind of life-saving person can still remain neutral.

Suddenly there was commotion under the city, the voice of tens of thousands of people shouting in unison pierced the sky, shaking Xun's eardrums ached, but he didn't show the slightest bit of discomfort, he just watched the scene of soldiers approaching the city with calm eyes.

However, Xiahou Ci, who was standing beside him, pulled away fortunately, but Xun just shook his head, and his sleeves moved slightly, forcing Xiahou Jinji Luao

The arrow pierced through the air and roared, but in the end, in Xun's calm and deep eyes, it landed on the ground only a few inches in front of him.

There is silk on the arrow.

Immediately, a soldier trotted forward and took off the silk cloth on the arrow and handed it to Xun. There were only a few lines of writing on the silk, but Xun completely calmed down the frown that had been secretly frowned for a long time just now.

"Guo Gong wants to see you."

"Mr. can't." !

"The general is here, so how can the general be lost? Besides, if there is an emergency, the city Zhongde is guarding is only a few miles away, and if he takes care of each other, it will not make Zhencheng unsafe, and..."

Thinking of the information that people told him intentionally or unintentionally before the army went to Xuzhou, it was just to prepare him for today's situation.It's just that he didn't expect that the person who came was actually this Guo Gong as expected, and this Guo Gong, who was really worried, proposed to meet him.

Even though there is a reason for this prophet to hold all the information in his hands, if he hadn't guessed people's hearts to the point of treachery, how could he dare to discuss with himself and use this dangerous and dangerous strategy.

Tightening the sable fur on his shoulders, Xun Wen gently smiled at the worried crowd, and then walked down the tower slowly.

"By the way, General Xiahou might as well send a message to the lord.

Zhencheng's death situation has been resolved. "
