Because at this time, on the stage in front of them, there were already piles of leftovers and cups and pans as high as a hill.

Behind this "hill", there are two people who are still eating and drinking, but at this time, Xu Chu has begun to sweat on his forehead and look embarrassed.

"I, I'm not comparing!"

Finally, Xu Chu threw away the half-gnawed pork leg in his hand, and surrendered with a belly that was about to explode.

"Huh?"

The crowd involuntarily let out exclamations at the same time, no one expected that the final winner would be Guo Jia, who was thin and looked weak?

Xu Chu sat down on the ground and said, "Strategist, you must be cheating, otherwise, after eating so many things, how could your stomach not change at all?" ”

Xu Chu spoke to the person who was Guo Jia, who had just woken up not long ago, and saw that he was holding a huge bowl bigger than his head at this time, hula hula and sweeping the soup noodles in the bowl.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that this Sven man, who usually couldn't even eat half a bowl of food, would now eat so many things, and the empty bowl in front of him was almost as tall as a person.

That's why Xu Chu questioned that Guo Jia was cheating.

After Guo Jia ate the big bowl of noodle soup, he put the bowl down, and everyone saw his face.

Don't look at Guo Jia eating wolf, but there is no soup and oil stains on his face and clothes.

After he saw Cao Cao in the crowd, he slowly got up, then bowed to him and said, "Lord, I've kept you waiting." ”

Guo Jia's words have two meanings, one is on the surface, that is, Cao Cao is waiting for him to finish eating, and the other is that he has lived up to Cao Cao's expectations before, and it was not until this moment that he finally woke up.

How did Cao Cao not know the meaning of Guo Jia's words?

I saw him laugh and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Taigong is looking forward to being seventy years old and Zhou, and Fengxiao you haven't even reached thirty yet, even if I have to wait for another ten years, what's the matter?" ”

With that, both of them burst out laughing.

It can be seen that they are laughing heartily, because Cao Cao can see at a glance that today's Guo Jia is not only sober, but he also feels that today's Guo Jia is no longer the restrained, pedantic and conservative corrupt scholar.

Guo Jia really did not live up to Cao Cao's expectations, and it was not in vain that Cao Cao waited patiently for so long, it was Cao Cao's enough trust that allowed him to grow up in this troubled world, fade away the innocence and ideals that young people inevitably have, and become a person who recognizes the cruelty of reality.

After a tacit conversation between the two, the haze of the past disappeared, and there was no longer a barrier between the monarch and the minister.

After laughing, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Although the lord is not in a hurry, but now some people are in a hurry, I received news that Yuan Shao of Hebei seems to want to take advantage of our attack on Xuzhou, when the rear is empty, to make some movements." ”

Guo Jia said, took out a secret letter from his sleeve, this secret letter was left to him when Caiyun came, needless to say, the information in this letter is indispensable to the power of Linxian Lou, as long as they are still in Hebei, then as long as there is a little wind and grass there, they can't hide from Guo Jia's eyes.

Cao Cao took the secret letter given to him by Guo Jia, opened it and glanced at it, and then quietly handed it to the civil officials and military generals beside him to read it together.

After everyone saw it, they were all surprised, and Mao Jue first asked: "Isn't this Yuan Shao our ally?" How can you do it behind your back? ”

Man Zhong sneered and said: "In this troubled world, there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends, the reason why Yuan Shao will form an alliance with Ming Gong is nothing more than that he doesn't want to be attacked by the north and south, his real enemy now is Gongsun Chan of Youzhou, as long as Gongsun Chan is not extinguished for a day, this alliance will exist for one more day, but if there is no Gongsun Chan, hehe!" ”

Man Zhong said, sneering again, in his opinion, Mao Jue, as Cao Cao's adviser, couldn't even see such an obvious thing, it was really ridiculous.

After Mao Jue was secretly ridiculed by Manzhong, he didn't get angry, and patiently explained: "Berning misunderstood what I meant, I know that Yuan Shao is not an honest person, and I also know that once he defeats Gongsun Zhan, the next target will be us, but as Berning said, such as

Now we are in a delicate relationship with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wants to pacify Hebei first, so he doesn't want their enemies to appear behind him, and we urgently need time to expand our power, so during this time, if everyone is safe, it will be the best result, but if something happens to us, can he Yuan Shao guarantee that the south can still be as safe as it is now? ”

It turned out that Mao Jue was thinking about something deeper, and after listening to it, he regretted that he had not considered it and judged too early.

At this time, Xun You spoke, he gently twisted his slender beard, and said thoughtfully: "What Mao Xiaoxian said is right, we and Yuan Shao each have their own plans, but at present, the two sides are safe, which is the most in everyone's interests, if something happens to us, how can he guarantee that this place in Yanzhou will not become their enemy?" ”

Thinking of this, Xun You suddenly looked at Guo Jia and shouted: "Unless! ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded.

A group of generals couldn't understand what they were saying, showing a blank expression, only Yu Ban seemed to understand what they said, so he arched his hand and said: "Gongda didn't want to say that the people who are making trouble behind Yanzhou are also their people?" ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, he patted Yu Ban's back and praised: "It's worthy of Yu Wenze, I can hear what they are talking about!" ”

After seeing Cao Cao's praise for Yu Ban, Cao Hong was first unconvinced, and he said with a disdainful face: "What's so strange about this, Yuan Shao and they are doing ghosts behind their backs, of course they are their own people, isn't this nonsense?" ”

After Cao Hong finished speaking, everyone laughed and said nothing, and Xiahoudun shook his head.

At this time, Li Dian stood up and said to Cao Hong: "General Zilian may have misunderstood, although the person who wants to make a ghost is Yuan Shao, but their people are not enough to shake Yanzhou, which has Xun Yu in the rear. ”

After hearing this, Cao Hong looked dazed and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Le Jin on the side smiled and explained for Li Dian: "What Li Dian means is that Yuan Shao's people are all preparing for Gongsun Zan in Hebei, not to mention that they can't spare people to make trouble in Yanzhou, even if someone comes from Hebei, so many spies we have planted in Hebei will not know any news?" ”
