It is already very strange that Guo Jia dared to say that, and what is even more strange is: Cao Cao dared to believe it.

Cao Cao: I will not tell you that I am an orphan. Feng Xiao has been anonymous since he was a child, secretly befriended heroes, and has a lot of connections in Jiangdong.He got the news: Jiangdong gentry wanted to kill Sun Ce, and they would do it soon.

Sun Ce exploited Jiangdong by force, and his methods were too tough, which offended many famous families.For example: Wujun Taishou Xu Gong and others who were directly killed by him.

There are also some gentry who were indirectly weakened by Sun Ce.For example, Sun Ce attacked Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, and besieged the city for two years, causing the local gentry to suffer from starvation. Half of the Lu clan in Jiangdong alone died of chaos, famine, and distress.

After the city was broken, Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, also died of illness. (Later, Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu who defeated Liu Bei in Huoshao Lianying, was Lu Kang's grandson.)

Therefore, the news that the Jiangdong gentry wanted to kill Sun Ce should be credible.

Xun You looked at Guo Jia meaningfully, as if trying to see flowers from his face.

Xi Zhicai nudged Guo Jia lightly with his elbow, leaned into his ear, and whispered in a low voice: "Feng Xiao, if you don't become a military adviser in the future, you can go to divination for others and get the title of a fortune teller. Leave a name through the ages."

Guo Jia smiled casually, and lowered his voice: "Send your will first, and then give a hexagram. No money will be charged."

Guo Jia's voice was too soft, and Xi Zhicai got closer to hear him say: "You, tonight, I'm afraid you need to appease Ziyang (Liu Ye), you're welcome."

Then, Xi Zhicai followed the direction Guo Jia's folding fan was pointing at, and saw Liu Ye who was pursing his lips tightly.

Even using a fan to secretly point at others is quite rude.

Xun You noticed that Liu Ye's expression was not right, so he stretched out his hand and pressed Guo Jia's fan: "Feng Xiao, don't make trouble." It is a serious matter to invite Liu Ye to participate in this military meeting.

Cao Cao: "Fengxiao, Zhicai, Gongda, why are you talking about it in a low voice?"

Guo Jia: "Duke Ming, Zi Yang has a plan to break through the earth mountain archery tower."

Cao Cao immediately recovered his spirits and talked with Liu Ye in detail.

It turned out that Liu Ye had a lot of research on organs and equipment, and he improved the Gongshu-like catapult.Catapults are usually used for defending and sieging cities. They are relatively heavy and require the joint efforts of multiple people to operate, and their accuracy is not very good.The catapult transformed by Liu Ye is very simple to use, and can flexibly adjust the direction. The throwing distance and accuracy have been greatly improved, and it can be pointed at where to hit.

This thing can deal with those enemy troops who are shooting arrows on the Tushan Arrow Tower.

Cao Jun's camp has been harassed by random arrows. It has been a while, and everyone is extremely depressed when they go in and out of the camp with shields on their hands every day.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "Zi Yang, starting from now on, how many days can we build a batch of new-style catapults?"

Liu Ye: "Ye has already built fifteen catapults, please review them by Duke Ming."

Cao Cao took people to see, and asked the soldiers to try to throw stones on the earth mountain, only to see the boulder bounced high, drew an arc in the air, and flew towards Yuan Jun's earth mountain on the opposite side.The sound was like thunder.

Cao Jun first tried throwing a few stones, and then adjusted the range.All of a sudden, the rocks flew together like a thunderbolt.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the sky, more than a dozen black dots flew across the sky, getting bigger and bigger, covering the light.It wasn't until the companion was smashed into a flat mass that Yuan Shao's soldiers could clearly see that the flying object was a huge stone.

The scene was horrific. The boulder falling from the sky not only collapsed the watchtower and took away countless lives, but also made a terrifying roar like a thunderbolt.

Yuan Shao's soldiers didn't believe that the catapult could have such a powerful destructive power. They called this new type of catapult "Thunderbolt Chariot".

The battle situation changed again. Cao Jun used thunderbolt chariots to create panic and destroy the watchtowers. Generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun took the lead in charging and destroyed all the Tushan watchtowers.

Cao Cao pulled back a round, and the crisis was temporarily lifted.Soon after, good news and bad news came from Guangling County, Xuzhou.

The good news is: the army of Soochow Wu crossed the river and besieged Kuangqi City.Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, calmly ordered the city gates to be closed, and the flags and drums to be silenced.Let ten times as many enemy troops stare at the outside of the city, let's fight hard, I really can't take this strong city with one heart and no shortage of food in a month or two.Back to Jiangdong?Sun Ce was not reconciled.

It took a while, and at dawn, Chen Deng sent Bu Qu to open the city gate.He beat the drums himself, and the old and young men in the city who could wield weapons rushed out with the defenders to kill the enemy bravely.

When the Soochow Army was in chaos and retreated, everyone learned a lot.Chen Deng personally led the troops to pursue him. His martial arts were quite mediocre and he was not very good at fighting, but the soldiers in Guangling dared to fight with all their might when they saw a scholar.

Many soldiers from Soochow did not have time to run into the boat, and fell into the Yangtze River and were swept away by the waves. Sun Ce was defeated and returned.

The bad news is: Sun Ce refused to accept it, and was rectifying his troops, preparing to fight Chen Deng again when Zhou Yu finished killing Huang Zu.Chen Deng sent Chen Jiao to ask for help, but Cao Cao had no soldiers to send.

Since Sun Ce couldn't be persuaded with fists, he had no choice but to reason with him.

Cao Cao felt that it was necessary to send someone to Jiangdong. As long as he could temporarily stabilize the Sun family in Jiangdong, Cao Cao could accept marriage or something. (In the official history, Cao Cao's niece married Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Kuang, and Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang married Sun Ben's daughter.)

Guo Jia offered to serve as an envoy.

These days, being an envoy is not a good job.Before arriving at the destination, it is very common to be detained and killed by other irrelevant princes, and to encounter robbers on the way.

Even if you can reach your destination safely, it is not safe.For example: Zhang Fei's envoy had his ears and nose cut off by Yan Yan.When Deng Zhi was sent as an envoy to the state of Wu, Sun Quan originally planned to serve him in a frying pan, but was persuaded by his subordinates.Liu Bei wanted to behead the envoy, but in order to cut off Wu's feelings, all the officials persuaded him for a while, and the envoy Cheng Bing held his head and strangled rats, and he survived.

The envoys in the above-mentioned novels were miserable, but the envoys in reality were even worse: Hu Muban was sent to Hanoi, and Yuan Shao ordered Wang Kuang to imprison him first and then kill him.Yuan Shu killed the envoy Yin Xun.

So Guo Jia returned to Xudu and received the talisman belonging to the envoy, Xun Yu was very worried.

The lingering fragrance lingered all over his sleeves, Guo Jia raised his chin slightly, and smiled a little awkwardly: "Don't worry, Jiasheng is prettier than them." Being an envoy really depends on your face and luck.

Xun Yu was amused by such an unscrupulous reason, and after laughing, he still looked uneasy.

Guo Jia took out the copper coin and took out a hexagram: "If you look at Wen Ruo, it is the hexagram image of water and sky, 'benefits and great rivers', and it will be meritorious. It indicates that although there are dangers ahead, as long as you wait for the opportunity and prepare well, you will be ready You can be safe and sound. Wading across the river will benefit you. If I go to Jiangdong, isn't that just 'wading across the river'?"

However, there is another variable in this hexagram-"It needs to be in the mud, and it will lead to bandits." It implies that you may encounter bandits by the water.But it is not necessarily a disaster. Respect and caution can eliminate disasters.Guo Jia did not intend to speak out.

Guo Jia's divination was always very accurate, Xun Yu was a little relieved.

Zuo Jian and his three apprentices, that is, Xu Gong's three disciples, have been carefully preparing for several months.

First of all, if you practice archery hard, although you can't reach the goal of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, it should not be a big problem to penetrate people with a hundred steps.

Secondly, the arrows and weapons of Xu Gong's three disciples were all poisoned.The place where Dantu is most suitable for hunting and having fun is called Shili Changshan.They are also very familiar with the topography of the Ten Mile Mountain.

Finally, during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Guo Jia began to deploy manpower in Jiangdong.Now, these people can keep track of Sun Ce and Sun Quan's movements at any time.

Zuo Jian also learned an authentic Jizhou dialect, mixed in the caravans in Jizhou, and brought the

Tokens and joint codes, go to Jiangdong to carry out the assassination first.

As a "court envoy", Guo Jia was unhappy because envoys usually carried property and were easy targets for looting.He had to avoid areas where Yuan's protégés and old officials were making trouble, and avoid routes where a large number of bandits were entrenched.Although there are Dianwei guards, it's just a novel or a game for a fierce general to sweep away thousands of troops, so don't play to your death.Moreover, Guo Jia planned to take the water route, first take a boat to Baqiu, and meet Zhou Yu.

On this day, Guo Jia was waiting for a boat by the river when he suddenly saw a big boat with golden sails sailing through the wind and waves, and it suddenly came from far to near.

There were many light boats behind the Jinfan ship, and a group of non-mainstream teenagers wandered over with bows and arrows, strange clothes, and frivolous behavior.The leader was a young man in brocade clothes, with bright feathers in his hair crown and a bell on his body, looking majestic and cool.

Guo Jia noticed that after the young man got off the boat, he asked people to use brocade as the rope to tie the boat, and there was a brilliance in the extravagance and roughness.
