Cao Cao, who was worried by Xi Kang, was working in the prime minister's mansion at this time. Xuchang City hadn't had any major issues recently, and the only thing Cao Cao needed to worry about was the letter from Jiangdong asking for help from Jia Xu.And the few prisoners he held were not obedient.

Xu Chu, the leader of the guards, reported to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shao has not lived a peaceful life since Yuan Hou was eyeing him, and he has no time to think about how to escape. inside."

Yuan Hou refers to Yuan Shu who was raised at home. Cao Cao gave him a false title that cannot be passed on to future generations, so he looks better.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yuan Shao's courtyard is big enough, send those literati to be with their lords as companions!"

Just like after Yuan Shu compromised, his original team members all followed Cao Cao, captured the thief first, captured the king, and took Yuan Shao in, and other outstanding talents naturally followed.

Xu Chu agreed, and he said again: "Sun Ce, the little overlord, this month he has escaped for the seventh time and was arrested."

Then Sun Ce is not honest at all, he can still make weapons without weapons, exhaust all the materials he can get, and he still hurts people!

Jumping away is like a rabbit, and there are all kinds of ways to escape. Only you can't think of it, and he can't do it without him.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Last time I dug a dog hole and dug a tunnel in the ground. What is it this time?"

Xu Chu explained: "This time he knocked out the maidservant who was going to deliver the meal, put on the maidservant's clothes and tried to sneak out, but was finally caught and taken back by the man who was hiding in the dark and staring at him."

Cao Cao: ...

"In order to escape, he really does everything. Just tell him, if you are not honest, you will put him in prison. I really won't kill him now, but I can grind him up and make him eat bad food and drink bad food." Living in a prison in water, sleeping in thatch, and being with mice day and night."

Xu Chu then called someone to come, and the subordinate took the order and went away, carrying out Cao Cao's order meticulously.

Since Dian Wei's "death", Cao Cao has promoted a new guard general, and it is this Xu Chu.

He has a majestic appearance and extraordinary courage. He is a standard tall and strong man. He has a good wife in his family who is good at weaving and sewing.

The duty of the leader of the guards was originally to follow Cao Cao and be responsible for protecting the personal safety of the lord. Unlike Dian Wei's loyalty, Xu Chu had to be more flexible.

Because of his good performance and loyalty, Cao Cao granted him the right to manage private guards. Those private guards who monitored and detained prisoners for Cao Cao and collected intelligence are now under Xu Chu's management.

People often ask Xu Chu: "General Xu is one of the best generals in the army. If he goes on the battlefield, he will have a bright future. Now he is transferred to the lord's side, but he can only do what a 'guard' does. He is just the leader of the guards. Do you think it's worth it if you can't be named a high-ranking official for your military exploits?"

Xu Chu said: "There are a lot of strong generals in the army! One more than me is not too many, and one less than me is not too many. I led the villagers to join the lord not for the sake of high officials and rich salary." Protecting the lord's safety is more important than going to the battlefield.

Xu Chu used to be a meticulous guard for Cao Cao, but he still had some concerns when Cao Cao sent him away. Then Cao Cao demonstrated it himself, what is called force against the sky, suppressed and beat him once, and Xu Chu felt relieved to be Cao Cao. Scheduled tasks.

Xu Chu vowed, "Judging from my experience of fighting against General Lu, General Zhao, and General Xiahou, my lord is much stronger than them all!"

Ever since he fought with the master, he had a thought. He only hoped that he could fight with the master again in the future. He felt the oppression of a higher force value when he was pressed and beaten, and made him surround Cao Cao like a loyal dog. It's a chance to ask the lord for advice twice, and he can become stronger after being beaten one by one, how wonderful!

Even the safety of the entire prime minister's mansion is under the jurisdiction of Xu Chu, which shows that Cao Cao trusts him.

Xu Chu came back not long after he went out, and he reported to Cao Cao: "My lord, the military commander's sacrificial wine is here."

Cao Cao said casually, "Let him in."

Xu Chu hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "My lord, it's a bit strange for a military officer to sacrifice wine."

"Huh? What's so strange about Fengxiao?"

Xu Chu was serious: "In the past, he would flirt with his subordinates when he saw him, but today he went straight to the lord without being verbose, and even asked his subordinates a few strange questions."

Cao Cao sat up straight and became serious: "Please repeat, what question can you comment as strange?"

"Jijiu asked my subordinates, is the second son at the lord's place? Has the lord been home recently? These questions, I have never asked before Jijiu," Xu Chu scratched his head, even though he is a rough person, he is not careful , but he has a beast instinct!

Xu Chu's reminder awakened Cao Cao's vigilance. He thought of Guo Jia's dark history in the past, and his curiosity like a cat when he was young, and always felt that Guo Jia would give him a small surprise.

Although Guo Jia never explored his vest after "getting older", Guo Jia and many Cao Ying officials also saw Cao Cao appearing with "Mrs. Anyone with a heart can feel the loopholes in his body, and the strange violations around him.

Xun Yu didn't tell the truth, Cao Cao accepted this kindness, and thought of Xun Yu's kindness in his heart.He thought that Guo Jia would also follow Xun Yu's example and be a tacit confidant who cared about him.

Not long after, Guo Jia came over. He first greeted Cao Cao's body, and then handed over Cao Pi's job certification with the seal of sacrificial wine to Cao Cao to add to the file. With this seriousness, Cao Pi can not only learn from the generals, You can also learn from the military divisions.

"Zi Huan has already gone to the barracks, isn't it too late for you to hand it in now?"

"It's not too late, my lord has made arrangements, and it's just a name to come here," Guo Jia said with a smile. Seeing that Cao Cao was not very interested in chatting, he restrained his cynical smile and came to Cao Cao's case Sit down, and face to face with him, said: "My lord, civil strife has already appeared in the three states in the north, but there is still a lack of fire. I have a plan to make my lord subdue Hebei three years earlier."

Seeing Cao Cao's serious face and listening carefully, Guo Jia said: "Before, the minister and the lord analyzed the internal disagreement between Yuan Shao's three sons, but today I want to talk to the lord about the relationship between Yuan Shao's literati and clan, and the local literati clan in Jizhou. fight."

As early as when Guo Jia traveled in Jizhou, he had already seen that the literati divided themselves into camps based on regions. The literati and clans from the same place would help each other, and even different regions would even exclude each other.

Yuan Shao has many talents under his command, and his bureaucratic style is obvious. He is an alliance of big families. Therefore, even though he wins over people from poor families, he looks down on them.

After analyzing so much for Cao Cao, Guo Jia said again: "Yuan Shao himself can't figure out the intricate relationship here, does my lord think that his three sons who are fighting among themselves will know how to balance these forces?"

They can gather for profit, and naturally they will abandon Yuan Shi for profit.

Cao Cao was thoughtful: "So Feng Xiao wants to promote the internal struggle between the three sons of Yuan Shao through the rivalry between the Northern Clique and make the North completely chaotic?"

Guo Jia nodded and told Cao Cao several strategies that he had come up with.

First, because Cao Cao sent troops across the Yellow River to intimidate Hebei, the other side of the river must be alerted and the army mobilized.The interests involved in the transfer of military power always trigger everyone's nerves.Cao Jun only needs to retreat with a little intimidation, and Hanoi can be changed without much loss.

Second, create a threat of public opinion, recruit Yuan Tan with the emperor's edict, order him to bow his head and proclaim himself a minister, and give him an official position.Because in Hebei, Yuan Tan seems to occupy the city of Ye, and most of the big family interest groups formed by the Yuan family and Yuan Shao's stepwife and mother support Yuan Shang. Yuan Tan is in danger of being overthrown at any time, so Cao Cao needs to be mentally Give him encouragement and let him persevere for a while.

This method is like training a dog. Every time Yuan Tan gets into trouble, Cao Cao will help him. Over time, when he is about to be cornered by the other two brothers, he will take the initiative to seek Cao Cao's help.

Third, if doing these things is not enough to cause chaos in Hebei, then we will take the action of dredging the bottom and recruit famous scholars and students from poor families in Hebei to take the "imperial examination". You can get the official position conferred by the imperial court.In addition, students who came to study in Hebei were recruited into the hall, and the paper books that had been popular under the rule were transported to Hebei for sale, breaking the pattern of literati in Hebei.Let the talents over there gradually flow to Henan.

Finally, and the most burning guide, fire, and cable—send assassins to assassinate Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi!After the assassination, there were traces of what Yuan Tan did, no matter whether it failed or not, as long as Yuan Shao's other two sons felt that they would never die with Yuan Tan, then the goal would be achieved.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands in praise: "Feng Xiao has comprehensive considerations, detailed strategies, and strong feasibility! It's just that the actual execution of these things will test the delegator's handling skills."

Guo Jia smiled confidently: "I beg my lord to give me a chance to show my strength. The main lord will support me in government orders, and then allocate enough manpower to me. I can turn Hebei into a mess within two months!"

Just as Cao Cao had this intention, he thought about it for a second, then hesitated again: "There are a lot of manpower borrowed by Jia Xu to go to Jiangdong, and if we take out manpower now, there will be chaos inside Xuchang."

Guo Jia hurriedly explained: "What I need is a master who is good at concealment and assassination. My lord trains so many private guards and scouts. There must be suitable candidates."

In the Cao camp, there are generals everywhere, and any camp can pull out a row of brave and good fighters. Cao Cao thought of a person, and said to Guo Jia: "There is a fierce general named Le Jin in Yuan Rang's account. He is flexible and tall. A group of tall generals stand out from the crowd! He is good at charging into battle, using small weapons, and hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to kill the enemy leader."

Standing out among a group of tall people is of course because he is short and small.

Even though he was just a school lieutenant, Cao Cao was deeply impressed by him. He had a natural affection for men who were smaller than himself.

Guo Jia said happily: "That's him! Please also introduce this person to the minister!"

After talking about this, Guo Jia began to list the resistance that may be encountered during the implementation, and the difference between the weather in Hebei and Henan, and asked Cao Cao to collect the cotton that has been popularized in recent years to prepare for the upcoming battle northward.

Guo Jiadao: "Two months later, the weather will turn cold. No one would have thought that we would choose to attack the cold north in the middle of winter. By that time, Yuan Shao's three sons must have competed with each other for several rounds. The fighting spirit will be reduced to the lowest level, and my lord can't let them have a chance to recuperate in winter."

After Cao Cao seriously thought about what was feasible and agreed, Guo Jia finished his business and started chatting with Cao Cao.

Guo Jia looked out the window at the end of summer, saw the birds in the sky, and said melancholy: "In a blink of an eye, Zhicai has been dead for four years. The old man's voice and smile seem to be right in front of him, as if he has passed away."

Cao Cao closed his mouth. At this time, he had already forgotten Xu Chu's previous reminder.

Seeing Guo Jia's look of nostalgia and sadness, he comforted him with a guilty conscience.

Guo Jia stared at Cao Cao with clear eyes, his domineering face was reflected in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "Kang'er is becoming more and more like his 'father'."

Cao Cao: "..."

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't respond, Guo Jia murmured: Why doesn't the lord show his flaws?

Cao Cao comforted in a warm voice: "Zhicai would not want to see you feel too sad for him. When a person dies, his ambition is still there, and the living still need to live. Because we are here to fulfill his wish, if he sees , will feel very gratified, at least his heirs will be able to enjoy the fruits of his long-cherished wish in the future."

Guo Jia laughed lowly, and complained: "My lord is too cunning, just seeing me sad like this, and I don't want to tell me the truth."

Cao Cao: "..."

The sudden act of acting like a baby made him tremble in fright!

"The truth? What truth?" Cao Cao refused to admit it.

Guo Jia raised his hands to support his cheeks, and put his elbows on the desk in front of Cao Cao, with an expression of "I'm just watching you pretend to be stupid".

"Of course it is the truth that Zhicai is still alive."

Guo Jia, who spoke amazing words, got his wish and saw their lord change his face!

The author has something to say: Tomorrow is May Day, so be a good pigeon who loves labor!
