Cao Cao looked at the letter in his hand, his hands were already trembling unconsciously, this was something that had not appeared in him for a long time, although his face was only a little pale, but Guo Jia and others standing beside him saw the importance of this matter.

They cast an inquiring glance at Cheng Yu, but all they got was Cheng Yu's slight shake of his head.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao's hands fell, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, if this was a normal situation, he should have handed the letter to Guo Jia and the others behind him, but this time, the letter was still in his hand.

For a short period of time, no one dared to disturb Cao Cao, although everyone's hearts in the room were sinking a little bit.

"Fengxiao, take a look."

Finally, Cao Cao raised the letter in his hand a little tiredly and handed it to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia and Xun You and the others beside him immediately looked intently at the contents of the letter, they had never seen anything that could affect Cao Cao's emotions to this extent.

After a moment, several people looked at each other as if they were several motionless statues, and finally once again focused their eyes on Cao Cao's face.

"I did underestimate Sun Ce, underestimated Zhang Hong, he stayed in Xuchang for nearly two years, at first I did think that he had another purpose, to send people to monitor, but he still survived this opportunity."

When Cao Cao said this, his eyes did not look at anyone, as if he was talking to himself.

Indeed, although the person ran out in the hands of Xun Yu and Cao Ren, he understood that this had nothing to do with Xun Yu and Cao Ren.

"Sikong, although Your Majesty can't play any role in our big battle with Yuan Shao, once the news of Your Majesty's absence in Xuchang spreads, it will have a big impact on the morale of our army, and those princes who were attached to us before, I'm afraid they will all be shaken, how about this battle, Sikong should have prepared early!"

Because Cheng Yu was the first person to know about this matter, although he didn't say anything about it these days, he was always thinking about the countermeasures to this matter in his heart.

It is certainly a big deal that the current emperor has been robbed, but the bigger thing is the battle with Yuan Shao.

The emperor is gone, Cao Cao can at least be a big prince on the side of the famous town, but if this battle is lost, the current Liu Bei will be tomorrow's Cao Cao, but these morale-hurting words can't be said on such an occasion.

And Cheng Yu still has a pity in his heart now, that is, they had obviously expressed their worries about Sun Ce before, but they all let Guo Jia block them back.

Now Liu Xie just let Sun Ce rob him, Cheng Yu wants to see how Guo Jia arranged Sun Ce.

"Fengxiao, what do you think about Sun Ce's matter?"

Obviously, Cao Cao asked this question to ask Sun Ce to explain the previous matter, maybe for him, or for Cheng Yu and others.

Seeing this letter, Guo Jia's brows furrowed imperceptibly, obviously, some things deviated from his expectations, and before, this was a very rare situation.

"Sikong, Feng Xiao couldn't say anything before because this matter was not suitable for discussion in front of the public, but for Sun Ce, the minister has indeed planted a small team of men and horses in the depths of Wu County, and he is completely sure that they can assassinate Sun Ce in Wu County!"

"What, assassinate Sun Ce?"

"Yes, in the past few years after Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce's momentum has indeed been a little too violent, the Jiangdong realm has been pacified by him, if he doesn't die, even if he can't get involved in the Central Plains for the time being, it will definitely not be a role that can be easily destroyed in the future, it is better to solve him first when he has just gained a foothold in Jiangdong and the enemies are all over the place."

Guo Jia finally told the truth at this time, indeed, between their princes, even if they play conspiracy, they should also play in war and diplomacy, and it is not impossible to send assassins to assassinate other princes, but if everyone follows suit, it is not actually a situation that Cao Cao wants to see.

Guo Jia did this, if the other princes of the Han Dynasty knew, it would almost definitely attack Cao Cao, after all, everyone wants to have a good night's sleep before they die, right?

This kind of behavior in this era can be evaluated by a sentence from an unborn master in later generations: young people do not speak of martial virtues.

But this time is obviously not the time to talk about martial virtues, but the time to study how to solve this matter without the emperor.

"According to your plan, when will you be able to assassinate Sun Ce?"

"It's early spring this year!"

Although I don't know what kind of person Guo Jia is looking for, from his firm answer, everyone can see his confidence.

"In this way, the plan to kidnap His Majesty, I'm afraid that Sun Ce has already arranged it with Zhang Hong, just waiting for us to start a war with Yuan Shao."

"Exactly, but if Fengxiao's assassination can be successful, when Zhang Hong returns to the territory of Jiangdong with His Majesty, Sun Ce is afraid that he has already died, and his younger brothers will not be worth mentioning, and they will never have Sun Ce's ability and courage, they are all under the age of twenty, even if they get Your Majesty, it will be a hot potato for them!"

Everyone, after such an analysis of what you say and I say, I think the situation is not so bad.

"Feng Xiao, how do you know if Sun Ce was indeed assassinated?"

Cao Cao is not a person who is willing to guess at will, what he wants is indeed the result,

"Regardless of the success or failure of the assassination, as soon as they act, someone will come back and inform me that since things have changed, I will go to the people of Jiangdong to verify the matter."

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao nodded slightly, at least Guo Jia's thinking is still quite clear, the current situation must be to see if Sun Ce has been successfully assassinated, and then talk about other things, if Sun Ce dies, even if Liu Xie is robbed to Jiangdong, Cao Cao is not afraid, but once Sun Ce is not dead, they will really have to start preparing for something.

"Okay, then let's continue to prepare for the battle with Yuan Shao, defend Guandu, and consume Yuan Shao's army, as for Sun Ce's situation, Feng Xiao informed me after getting the news, before that, this matter should be regarded as if it had not happened."

After everyone listened, they all nodded slightly, obviously, everyone knew that they had to be cautious about this matter, and if they leaked the rumors a little, once Yuan Shao knew, their plans would be completely disrupted, so this matter must be hidden.
