Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 294
Seeing his subordinates arguing, Cao Cao finally spoke at this time.
"You don't have to fight anymore, you are all indispensable talents of my Cao Mengde, the top priority is how to rescue Yanzhou, not everyone quarreling with each other, since I have handed over the sword to Fengxiao, you should respect Fengxiao's decision, I believe that Fengxiao must have a way to resolve this crisis."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone who originally wanted to continue arguing could only stop arguing and said to Cao Cao in unison: "Obey the lord's order!" ”
Then they said to Guo Jia together: "Listen to the orders of the military division!" ”
It seems that Cao Cao is always the most authoritative person here, and when everyone is arguing, he only needs one sentence to calm the dispute.
But at the same time, everyone also knows that this contradiction is only temporarily resolved, once the war is over, the dispute between relatives and foreign surnames will inevitably break out again, if Cao Cao can not handle it properly, the contradiction between the two sides is bound to become more and more intense, which will test Cao Cao's skill of checks and balances as the monarch.
However, at the moment, favoring Guo Jia's side is what Cao Cao must do, because only by letting him play well can Cao Jun be rescued from the crisis.
With Cao Cao's support, Guo Jia was also unceremonious, and ordered everyone: "The generals will listen to the order, immediately set off from the camp and march to Xuzhou City!" ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, before they were obviously still arguing about whether to attack Xuzhou City, Cao Ren's relatives and generals advocated attacking Xuzhou City, and listening to Guo Jia's tone, it seemed that he didn't plan to attack, but now, when everyone thought that Guo Jia was about to order the whole army to retreat, he suddenly ordered the army to march to Xuzhou City, which had to make everyone dumbfounded.
Without waiting for others to ask, Guo Jia first said: "If you have any questions, I will talk about it later, now that the time is pressing, the generals will immediately lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and be sure to set off before dark. ”
Guo Jiajun gave an order, and everyone had to follow the order, and after responding, they all returned to their respective positions to gather troops and horses.
After seeing everyone leave, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia curiously: "Fengxiao, do you really want to march to Xuzhou City?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Back to the lord, that's exactly the case." ”
Cao Cao said with some concern: "But what should Yanzhou do? ”
Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and said, "The lord can rest assured, Guo Jia has his own magic method and will definitely be able to keep Yanzhou." ”
Seeing Guo Jia's mysterious appearance, and refused to tell himself the strategy, Cao Cao could only give up helplessly, sometimes, even he, the lord of the monarch, didn't know what this Guo Jia was thinking in his heart, but what he knew was that this young man's chest was full of strategy, and he could often come up with unexpected schemes, so that the enemy and his own people were scared into a cold sweat, this is Guo Jia, a world wizard who made Cao Cao, who was proficient in all aspects of conceited Wen Taowu and martial arts, willing to hand over military power to him.
Naturally, the movements of the Cao army could not escape the eyes of the spies, and soon after the Cao army began to pull out the camp, the news soon spread to Xuzhou City and the other princes.
The first to get the news was naturally Chen Qi and his son in Xuzhou City, their spies had long been closely watching Cao Jun's every move outside the city, and when Cao Jun just started to act, their spies flew to report to Chen Qi and his son.
However, after the father and son learned the news of Cao Jun's action, they did not immediately tell Tao Qian about it, but quietly watched the changes in the situation, waiting for the best time to make a move, which is really a good plan.
And Tao Qian also learned about this from Mi Zhu's mouth not long after, it seems that their Mi family is also very nervous about Cao Jun's movements, so they do not hesitate to use their family's strength to obtain Cao Jun's information.
In today's Xuzhou City, wealthy people want to get the latest information about the war, in order to protect themselves, so when the Cao army is about to attack Xuzhou, there are intelligence dealers who sell these information at the price of real money, and for the chaebol wealthy families in Xuzhou City, these information is exactly what they need, in case the situation is unfavorable, they can also escape from Xuzhou City as soon as possible, so selling intelligence has become the most profitable business in Xuzhou City today, those intelligence dealers, in order to get the latest information, Do everything, and the spies who are responsible for collecting intelligence are also in order to get it
To the latest and most accurate information, he risked his life and risked his life to collect intelligence on the front line of crisis.
It was through these intelligence dealers that Mi Zhu bought the latest information from them with a lot of money to learn the news of Cao's army's operation.
When Mi Zhu learned the news of Cao Jun's start of action, he immediately informed Tao Qian.
Compared with his subordinates, as well as the active collection of intelligence by those chaebol wealthy families in Xuzhou City, Tao Qian, who is the pastor of Xuzhou, always knows it later, and after everyone knows the news, he is the last to know the information, and often at that time, it is too late.
Now when he learned the news of Cao Jun's actions from Mi Zhu at the banquet, the cup of wine in his hand couldn't help but fall.
Seeing this, Liu Bei asked with concern, "Why is Tao Qiangong panicked?" ”
Tao Qian thought about it for a while, and did not say the news of Cao Jun's actions first, but expressed his worries, he said: "Dissatisfied with Xuande Gong, the old man is old and faint, and he feels more and more powerless to govern Xuzhou, and now he is looking for a candidate to replace the old man to take over Xuzhou, so coincidentally, Xuande Gong you are here." ”
"The old man has heard for a long time that Xuande is a relative of the Han family, and he is heroic and benevolent, and he is the most suitable person to succeed the old man as the pastor of Xuzhou! If you take over the position of Xuzhou Mu by Xuande Gong, you will definitely be able to save the people of Xuzhou from danger, which is much better than me, an old immortal thing, I hope Xuande Gong will not shirk. ”
Tao Qian suddenly said such a thing at the banquet, which surprised everyone, including Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei had revealed this meaning when he first entered the city, it was still a little surprising to say it clearly in front of everyone.
After Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Liu Bei is not talented, he is not qualified for the post of Xuzhou pastor, Tao Qiangong has governed Xuzhou in an orderly manner for many years, and there is no need for anyone to take your place, let alone Liu Bei." ”
Tao Qian shook his hand, frowned and said: "No, I'm already old and confused, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have caused Cao Cao to lead troops to invade Xuzhou, causing such a tragedy." ”
