Chapter 54: Tricks will end their lives
Everyone followed the prestige, and it was Guo Jia who was sitting in the back, holding the letter in his hand, with a confident smile on his face.
Because of the failure of the assassination of Sun Ce, Guo Jia has been silent recently, unless Cao Cao asks in person, otherwise he will not take the initiative to speak, and at this time he finally took the initiative to speak again, and many people looked at him curiously.
"How can Feng Xiao testify for Xu You, who is far away in Yuan Shao's army?" Obviously, Cao Cao was also a little curious about this matter, and when he saw Xu You's letter, he was also suspicious of the letter, so he called everyone to come to discuss, but seeing Guo Jia's confident look on his face, Cao Cao was inexplicably a little relieved.
"I can't testify about Xu You, but I can testify that Xu You's younger brother was indeed targeted by the trial in Yecheng, and Xu You is indeed a person who protects his shortcomings, he asked Yuan Shao in Yuan Shao's army to order his younger brother to be released and punish the trial, but Yuan Shao did not agree, I am afraid that it is under such circumstances that he made such a decision in a fit of anger."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone's faces finally showed a hint of abruptness.
"In this way, I am afraid that there is already an internal response of Fengxiao in Yecheng and Yuan Shao's army, right?"
"There is indeed an internal response, and there must be an internal response from Yuan Shao in our army, but how to use the internal response is a bit particular."
When Guo Jia said this, everyone understood that this was completely a play planned by Guo Jia to force Xu You into Cao Jun's camp, and this was obviously a tailor-made strategy for Xu You, taking into account his personality and relationship with Yuan Shao's other advisers.
"Good! Since it is intentional to be filial piety, then we will accept Xu You, after all, Xu You's temperament, I still understand, he will not come to my command to eat white food without making a single contribution, once he comes, most of them will send a big gift to our army! ”
What kind of person Xu You is, Cao Cao understands, and Cao Cao still has expectations for Guo Jia's design.
After this matter was discussed, everyone dispersed, and finally only he and Guo Jia were left in Cao Cao's house, originally Guo Jia would not stay after such an occasion, but Cao Cao had given Guo Jia a look before, and Guo Jia stayed.
"Fengxiao, the failure to assassinate Sun Ce before was not your fault, what you did secretly for me, I keep it in my heart, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is a good policy."
Cao Cao understands Guo Jia, although Guo Jia has always been so pampered and unfazed and doesn't care about anything, but once the strategy fails, the blow to him is much greater than that of other strategists.
He is different from other strategists, other strategists give advice for themselves, mostly for status, but Guo Jia simply wants to change the world with his own strategies.
A person like Guo Jia can be so desperate for Cao Cao, and naturally understands that Cao Cao can understand him.
There are not many words between him and Cao Cao, but sometimes, there will be some heart-to-heart words.
"Sikong, there are some strategies, it's not that I don't want to say it, but whether it is assassinating Sun Ce or using Xu You's younger brother to force him to join Sikong, it's not a good strategy, it's all a desperate strategy, my ability is not unparalleled in this world, it's just that I don't care if the strategy is extinct or not, but if there are too many such strategies, it will be punished by God, and Guo Jia just doesn't want Sikong to suffer a little involvement."
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, just shook his head, and was silent for a long time.
"Sikong don't have to worry, as a strategist, if I can let Sikong unify the Central Plains in my lifetime, I will have no regrets in this life!"
Guo Jia smiled and comforted Cao Cao, but Cao Cao couldn't laugh at all.
"Feng Xiao, no matter what, after this battle, you don't have to come up with those desperate strategies, we just rely on military strength, we can compete in the Central Plains, Feng Xiao is only thirty years old, and he will definitely be able to follow me to dominate the Central Plains!"
"Feng Xiao also hopes so, I don't worry about Yuan Shao, he is not the master of Ming, Sikong's biggest enemy, it will definitely be Jiangdong in the future, Sun Ce is only twenty-five years old, he has already unified Jiangdong, and Sikong still has many enemies to deal with after the end of this battle, plus...... His Majesty went this time, most of the time he had been clumsy with Sikong in the previous years, and he had thrown Dong Cheng and Liu Bei and others out of the court before, mostly to cover up Zhang Hong's secret actions. ”
Guo Jia had never said these words to Cao Cao, after all, there was no certainty in the battle between them and Yuan Shao before, but now, once Xu You arrived, it was bound to bring Cao Cao what bargaining chips.
Under such circumstances, Guo Jia also felt that he could tell Cao Cao what he thought about Liu Xie's affairs.
"What does Feng Xiao mean is that His Majesty was not abducted to Jiangdong after being stunned by Zhang Hong, but that he himself participated in planning this matter?"
Cao Cao obviously didn't believe this speculation, because it had been four or five years since he controlled the court of the Han Dynasty, and he still knew what kind of person Liu Xie was, obviously saying that Liu Xie had been hiding with him for four or five years, and he hadn't revealed anything at all, he obviously didn't believe it, if this was true, this person would be a little too terrible.
And Liu Xiecai is only eighteen or nineteen years old, just such a young man, if he has such a deep scheming, Cao Cao will not believe it.
"I can't be sure before, but this matter is really unreasonable, with Liu Xie's performance before, he would not do such a thing as saying Dong Cheng in the court, from that time on, they must have been planning!"
Cao Cao also quietly analyzed a wave, and then nodded involuntarily.
Obviously, from the perspective of onlookers now, they were all attracted by Dong Cheng's daring to make an edict, but they didn't notice that the key to this matter was Liu Xie's detonation.
"If I can hit Yuan Shao hard this time, Jiangdong will be my number one enemy!"
Although Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong before, Cao Cao never regarded him as his number one enemy, not even the second and third, because Sun Ce was inferior to him in terms of age, and even his old son Sun Jian Cao Cao didn't look at him, let alone Sun Ce.
But now that the country has explained this matter so solemnly, Cao Cao understands that if he gets Liu Xie, Jiangdong will be the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty in the future, and once Liu Xie publishes an article to denounce himself, he will become a real national thief.
At this time, the situation in Wu County was not as Cao Cao thought, and the secret competition between Sun Ce and Liu Xie had just begun.
