Yu Ban said: "If it is a member of the Langya Zhuge clan, then it is not surprising that they are prescient, after all, there is no shortage of talented people in the Langya Zhuge clan, and they are a big clan that can be on a par with the Yingchuan Xun clan." ”

Guo Jia sighed and said: "Alas, the loss of the Zhuge clan is more painful than the loss of the entire Xuzhou, if we can take Xuzhou peacefully, then we can easily recruit the celebrities of the Zhuge clan, and the talented people around the lord will also be stronger, now not only have lost the heart of the Xuzhou clan, but also have a hatred with the Zhuge clan, and the celebrities of this clan will become our fierce enemies in the future." ”

Li Dian said: "In this case, why didn't the military advisor get rid of them earlier? ”

Guo Jia said: "The Qingzhou army plundered in Xuzhou this time, has ruined the name of the lord, if we destroy the Zhuge clan of the Xuzhou wang clan again, not only the world's celebrities will be afraid, even the scholars around the lord will feel cold, and then it will really be the heart of the people from all over the world." ”

Xiahou Yuanleng said: "So serious? ”

Yu Ban said: "It's not, the world's famous people have the same hatred of the enemy, in the past, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, what a great achievement, but because he did a book burning and pit Confucianism, he was written by the scribes, describing him as a murderous tyrant, and was scolded by later generations, if we really kill these people, the lord will inevitably leave a stench for 10,000 years." ”

Guo Jia sighed: "Even if you don't kill the Zhuge clan, is the lord's reputation still good?" The actions of the lord are probably only Dong Zhuo in the past and Guo Yan and Li Dao today. ”

Xiahou Yuan paused and said, "Meng De, why are you so confused and do such a bastard thing!" ”

Guo Jia dissuaded: "General Xiahou, don't be impatient, the matter has come to this point, and the only way to prevent the situation from deteriorating further is to do your best." ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at Guo Jia and said loudly: "Military advisor, you are resourceful, you outwitted Xuzhou with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, I Xiahou Yuan really admires it so much, so you must have a way to do it this time, tell us what to do!" ”

Guo Jia said: "There is a way, but the good luck is unpredictable, I don't know if you are willing to take this risk with me?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd.

Cao Hong laughed and said, "Do you still need to ask?" As long as you can help Meng De, even if you want my Cao Hong's life, it is incumbent on you, military advisor, you can go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and let me Cao Hong be the first to go! ”

Although this Cao Hong is usually rude and reckless, but very righteous, every time he hears that Cao Cao has something, he is often the first to jump out, not to mention Xiahou Yuan, in addition to Xiahou Yuan, the most trustworthy general in the army belongs to Cao Cao, when he was young, Xiahou Yuan also went to prison for Cao Cao's guilt, which shows that Cao Cao trusts him for a reason.

Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction, and then he looked at the others, only to see Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu all bowing their hands together and saying: "We are all willing to go to the soup for the lord, and the military advisor will give orders!" ”

The last one to speak was Dian Wei, he didn't talk much these days, he seemed to be preoccupied, he said lightly: "Fengxiao, do I still need to ask?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then I will say it." ”

After that, Guo Jia beckoned to everyone, and everyone was a little strange, not knowing what Guo Jia wanted to do.

They approached Guo Jia with puzzled expressions, and Guo Jia waited until they were all close before whispering his arrangement.

After listening, Cao Chun first raised a question and said: "Military advisor, I don't understand, at such a critical moment, why do you exclude me and Cao Xiu, as well as General Yu Ban, speaking of which, Cao Xiu and I are not only subordinates of the lord, but also brothers of the same clan, not letting us go together at this time, it's too much!" ”

Cao Xiu also said indignantly: "That's it, that's it!" ”

This Cao Xiu is a newcomer who has just joined the Haw Par Riding not long ago, and he is also the youngest among the crowd, so he usually does things with trepidation, and he doesn't even dare to say much, for fear that he will do something wrong and drag everyone back, but this time, even he couldn't help it, and stood up with Cao Chun and protested to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia had already guessed that they would have opinions, so after speaking, he quietly waited for a few of them to complain.

But after Cao Chun and Cao Xiu complained, the rest of Yu Ban had no complaints, which was beyond Guo Jia's expectations.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Guo Jiacai smiled and explained: "Don't be suspicious, my arrangement is naturally reasonable, and the success of this matter depends on your performance." ”

Cao Chun was suspicious: "Really? Don't lie to us, Strategist! ”

Guo Jia smiled: "How come, I guarantee with my head, if you deceive anyone, you can take my head." ”

Hearing Guo Jia's guarantee, everyone no longer questioned his decision.

Therefore, Guo Jia will stay behind to command the tiger and leopard cavalry of Ban, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu, and the others will march with Guo Jia in the direction where the Qingzhou army is located.

The further they walked back, the more shocking the sight became: all the villages and towns they passed through had been burned, mutilated corpses could be seen everywhere, not only the elderly, the weak, women and children, but also the poultry and animals.

Xiahou Yuan trembled angrily and said, "Is this really what Meng De ordered to do?" ”
