At the moment when the atmosphere was so tense that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, Xiahoudun slowly withdrew his hand, looked directly at Guo Jia, and said coldly: "Xiahoudun doesn't dare!" ”

As he spoke, Xiahoudun took two steps back and kept his distance from Guo Jia.

Seeing that Xiahoudun was finally willing to back down, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if Xiahoudun really got angry, got carried away, and killed Guo Jia regardless of the consequences, it would really be irreparable.

But fortunately, Xiahoudun still restrained his impulse and made concessions at the critical moment, not that he was afraid of Guo Jia, but that he was very loyal to Cao Cao, and the relationship between them was not only between master and slave, but also between brothers.

Although as long as Cao Cao ordered him to stop, Xiahoudun would also obey, but in that case, Cao Cao's prestige among the relatives and generals would be damaged, especially Cao Song has always been loved by the generals of the Cao family, although it is not their biological father, but everyone's feelings for Cao Song are the same as a family.

Now Guo Jia ordered Xiahoudun to retreat with the Qinghong Sword granted to him by Cao Cao, even if Xiahoudun was furious, he had to give up, because if he insisted on going his own way and turned a blind eye to the sword that Cao Cao gave Guo Jia, although he could succeed for a while, Cao Cao's prestige would be gone.

It was precisely because of this that Xiahoudun held back his anger and retreated.

Seeing that Xiahou retreated, Guo Jia said: "Since General Xiahou has approved this sword of the lord, is it that I, Guo Jia, am I qualified to negotiate terms with General Xiahou?" ”

Xiahoudun didn't say a word, and glared at Guo Jia fiercely.

Guo Jia continued: "Since General Xiahou doesn't speak, it means that he has acquiesced. ”

Guo Jia said, standing in front of everyone holding the Qinghong sword and said: "Listen, everyone, since the lord has awarded me the sword Guo Jia, as long as the lord does not take back this sword, then the whole army must obey my unified order, even if it is the lord, you can't command without authorization, if you disobey, regardless of your status and position, you will be dealt with by military law, and there will be no mercy!" ”

Guo Jia said in a loud voice, everyone had never seen this polite scribe, such a majestic side, they even suspected that the person in front of them was not Guo Jia.

But since the order came from him

mouth, as long as Cao Cao does not object, it is recognized, but Cao Cao's relatives and generals are not very convinced that this young military advisor is so domineering to take over the army, even if he has made great achievements twice before, but these generals still can't accept a person with a foreign surname to be in charge of the entire army.

I saw that at this time, the generals all looked at Xiahoudun, Cao Cao's relatives and generals, in addition to obeying Cao Cao's orders, were looking forward to this big brother, and now although Guo Jia is holding the Qinghong Sword that represents military power, as long as Xiahoudun has not yet expressed his position, this group of people is still wavering.

Xiahoudun blushed, and after being silent for a while, he finally arched his hand and said, "Xiahoudun obeys the orders of the military division!" ”

Seeing that Xiahoudun had expressed his position, the others did not dare to disobey anymore, so the other relatives and generals also shouted: "I am willing to listen to the orders of the military division!" ”

And after the relatives and generals expressed their positions, not to mention the rest of the people, they all expressed their obedience to Guo Jia.

Seeing that everyone recognized his status, Guo Jia put away the Qinghong sword, turned around and apologized to Cao Cao: "Guo Jia is entrusted by the lord, and he should do his best, and when this is an extraordinary time, he must do extraordinary things, and if he trespasses, please don't blame the lord." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Since I have given you the sword, the affairs of the army will be managed by you, and you can make a decision on anything, and you don't need to ask me again." ”

Cao Cao said this to Guo Jia, but at the same time, he also said it to others, since he said so, he expressed his great trust in Guo Jia, and when other people heard Cao Cao's words, they would no longer have the idea of asking Cao Cao to intercede privately and make him change his mind.

After getting Cao Cao's support, Guo Jia's position is more stable, even if some people are not convinced, they dare not disobey Guo Jia's orders in person, because now Guo Jia is holding Cao Cao's sword, in charge of the command of the army, including the power of life and death, if anyone dares to openly disobey him, it is equivalent to disobeying the military order, no matter how high his status is, whether he is Cao Cao's relatives and brothers, Guo Jia can completely follow the military law to correct the disobedient on the spot.

The generals who usually rely on Cao Cao's brothers have always been a little unscrupulous in the army, so there will be a situation where Cao Hong's position was broken through by a night attack, and Cao Cao is afraid of the relationship between his brothers, and he can't really kill Cao Hong, which makes him under the prestige of the army

It seems that as long as the brothers of Cao Cao's relatives make a mistake, no matter how serious the result is, they can avoid death, so that the tension of these relatives and generals is bound to relax, and there may be another omission, which Guo Jia cannot tolerate.

Because what happens after that will be a major event related to Cao Jun's life and death, there will never be any more mistakes.

Guo Jia said to everyone: "Everyone has heard the words of the lord, in the future, everything in the army will be under my command, if anyone makes a mistake, don't blame this sword for being ruthless!" ”

Guo Jia said, suddenly took out his sword and slashed at the table on the side.

Everyone's eyes were on the table, but after Guo Jia swung his sword, the table was still intact.

Just when everyone thought that Guo Jia's technique was so bad that he couldn't even cut the table next to him, there was a sudden crisp sound, and the table broke in response.

It turned out that the Qinghong Sword was too sharp, and after cutting the table, it still kept the section intact, so that the table collapsed after a while.

Seeing that the Qinghong sword held by Guo Jia was so sharp, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, if this was cut on the body, even if it was protected by armor, it would not be able to stop such a sharp sword.

Seeing Guo Jia's demonstration, everyone had no choice but to obey, so they said in unison: "Obey the orders of the military division!" ”

After Guo Jia succeeded in establishing his authority, he had no worries, so he said to everyone: "The generals will listen to the order, from today onwards, the whole army must no longer kill innocents indiscriminately, and the captured prisoners and civilians must be dealt with after my decision, if this order is violated, they will be beheaded immediately!" ”

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia's first order was not to allow Cao Jun to kill the people indiscriminately, which was a very difficult thing for the generals in the Xuzhou battlefield, because most of the people in the army were Qingzhou soldiers, they were unruly, and they had just rebelled, and it was a very difficult thing to want them to completely obey the order, even if the general gave an order, they would not necessarily obey it, and when the Qingzhou Army killed the people without authorization, the leading generals were implicated, and it was really wronged.

I saw that Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but say: "Military Division, if you want to cut off our heads, just say it directly, but if you use this reason to frame us, I Xiahou Yuan will not accept anything!" ”
