Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 68

I saw Guo Jia take out the order arrow and shouted, "Cao Ren! ”

Cao Ren stood up and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”

Guo Jia said: "Order you to lead the front team of the Chinese army, advance slowly, without my order, you are not allowed to make claims without permission, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Cao Ren glanced at Guo Jia coldly, took the arrow without saying a word, arched his hand, and returned to his original position.

Guo Jia then ordered the generals, in addition to letting Cao Ren command the front team of the Chinese army, the arrangements of the rest of the generals were: Xiahou Dun led the main team of the Chinese army, Man Zhong and Mao Jue were the rear team, and Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals were all transferred to the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Seeing Guo Jia's arrangement, all the generals were surprised, the Qingzhou army had nearly 300,000 troops, but only a few generals were left to command, and the tiger and leopard cavalry was only 8,000 people, but most of the generals were transferred.

Seeing that the generals were puzzled, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Generals, don't worry, Guo Jia's arrangement makes sense, you just need to act according to the order." ”

When everyone saw Guo Jia say this, they had no choice but to follow the order.

After Guo Jia arranged the Qingzhou army, he took all the generals to ride away, and suddenly saw Dian Wei riding a horse in front of the formation, Guo Jia went up to him and asked, "General Dian Wei, why are you here?" ”

Dian Wei smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's hard to say. ”

After a moment of silence, Dian Wei said again: "I heard that the lord said that you are now the commander of the whole army, so he asked me to follow you to protect you." ”

Guo Jia asked, "What about the lord himself?" ”

Dian Wei said: "The lord has Xu Chu's protection, he has been pardoned, and now he is serving as the lord's guard. ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions, Cao Cao ostensibly sent Dian Wei to protect him, but in fact he was monitoring his every move, if Guo Jia had any bad intentions, Dian Wei would act on secret orders.

Since Guo Jia asked Cao Cao for military power, this invisible war has begun, although the conversation between the two is only a few words, but everyone understands what the other party means, and they know each other's secrets.

Guo Jia feared that Cao Cao would massacre the people there after the capture of Xuzhou, so he took a risk for the sake of Cao Cao's reputation and the lives of the people of Xuzhou, and made a request to Cao Cao.

When Guo Jia proposed to hand over the military power to him for command, although it was only for a moment, Guo Jia obviously felt a chill, this is probably the killing intent that Xiao Yuan said, right? At that moment, in Cao Cao's heart, maybe he had already killed him, this point, Xiahou Dun on the side naturally knew that as Cao Cao's confidant, and at the same time a general with excellent martial arts, he couldn't be more sensitive to such a thing as murderous aura, and he had already noticed this unusual atmosphere, even a person like him couldn't help but sigh in his heart Guo Jia's audacity, which showed how dangerous the situation was at that time.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao readily handed over the Yitian Sword that represented the military power to Guo Jia, indicating that the two reached a private agreement, that is, Guo Jia planned the task of attacking Xuzhou for Cao Cao, and the condition was that during this period, Cao Cao should restrain his behavior, not kill the people of Xuzhou indiscriminately to vent his anger, and hand over the military power to Guo Jia's command, which shows that Cao Cao agreed to this request.

This is tantamount to forcing Cao Cao to comply, which is the most taboo thing among monarchs and ministers, if Cao Cao feels that Guo Jia is not worthy of him, he is likely to have a showdown with Guo Jia directly.

Fortunately, the worst thing did not happen, which also shows that Cao Cao recognizes Guo Jia's ability very much, otherwise he would not have made such a big concession.

And to install a Dian Wei by Guo Jia's side, this is already the lowest condition, Guo Jia is open-minded, and he is absolutely selfless, so he naturally doesn't care about such a trivial matter, so it should really be Cao Cao who sent someone to protect him.

So Guo Jia thanked Dian Wei and went to the position of the tiger and leopard rider in front with everyone.

As soon as Guo Jia and the others left, Cao Ren ordered the army to prepare for departure, watching a group of them go away, Cao Ren sneered in his heart, thinking that this Guo Jia was simply playing with fire.

"Where's Guo Jia?" At this time, Xun Yu hurried over and asked Cao Ren.

Cao Ren pointed to the smoke and dust raised in front of him, where the backs of everyone could still be faintly seen.

Xun Yu stomped his feet angrily and complained: "This Guo Fengxiao doesn't discuss anything with me, it's really arbitrary!" ”

This Xun You was originally chasing Guo Jia, but his horse was as fast as Guo Jia, he hadn't yet arrived at the position of the tiger and leopard riding, he saw Guo Jia and Xiahou Dun running back to the main formation of the Chinese army in a gust of wind, so he chased the two of them towards the main formation, and when he finally returned here, Guo Jia had already taken a group of people to the position of the tiger and leopard riding, no wonder he was angry.

Cao Ren sneered and said, "It's better that Gongda didn't discuss it with him, so as not to implicate you when you get it." ”

Xun You was taken aback and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Cao Ren said: "Gongda is rich and rich, don't you hear: soldiers, ominous weapons, things or evil, so there is a reason that the Taoist does not deal with?" Since ancient times, who has succeeded the monarch in charge of the heavy army, which one has a good end? ”

Xun You broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "Are you saying that Guo Jia's life is in danger?" ”

Cao Ren pretended not to know and said, "I don't know what you said, anyway, I didn't say anything." With that, he turned to the army and ordered, "Go!" ”

Xun Yu hurriedly said: "You, how can you be like this, it's so immoral!" ”

Cao Ren didn't care what he said, and led the front army slowly, although he was dissatisfied with Guo Jia's approach, but the military order was like a mountain, since Cao Cao handed over the command of the army to Guo Jia, he Cao Ren would still follow the order.
