Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 290
"But, but ......"
Mao Jue naturally knew that what Cao Ren said was the truth, but now they were cornered, and in order to win, they could only do whatever it took to win, but Mao Jue believed in the Confucian concept of governing the world with benevolence, and such a brutal and unkind behavior was very different from his philosophy, and he really couldn't accept it.
"Military advisor, you also persuade General Cao Ren, please don't let the people of Xuzhou bleed anymore!"
Mao Jue couldn't bear it, and saw that he couldn't persuade Cao Ren to give up this ruthless idea, so he could only turn to the resourceful Guo Jia, hoping that he could stop this cruel thing from happening for the sake of God's virtue of a good life.
I saw Guo Jia say: "General Cao Ren's method is really good, with the greedy personality of the Qingzhou army, if they are given benefits, maybe they can really break through Xuzhou City." โ
Hearing Guo Jia say that, Mao Jue was startled.
I saw Mao Jue stunned and said, "Fengxiao, you, how can you say that!" โ
For Mao Jue, Guo Jia is the person he pins his hopes on, he is not as realistic and cold as others, and he is the most likely person to stand on his side and speak, but now as soon as Guo Jia speaks, Mao Jia even has the last hope, he actually has the same idea as Cao Ren, and they both think that as long as they are willing to give benefits to the Qingzhou army, they can take Xuzhou City.
Just when Mao Jue was at a loss, Guo Jia said again: "But, even if we take Xuzhou City, what's the use of us wanting a worthless city?" โ
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, everyone except Cao Cao and Xun You was surprised, because his answer was too surprising.
Cao Ren said: "What are these words? Isn't the purpose of our coming here to take Xuzhou City and avenge the Lord Gazette? โ
Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "At this time, at that time, if it was a few months ago, it would have been a valuable thing for us to take Xuzhou City, but now, this Xuzhou City is like a piece of gold, worthless. โ
Guo Jia explained: "Now Xuzhou is full of devastation, the countryside is ten rooms and nine empty, and there is only one Xuzhou city left, and the Qingzhou army has to loot to take it.
What's more, there are Gongsun Zan and Kong Rong in the north, and Yuan Shu in the south, their armies are already close at hand, if we occupy Xuzhou, it is necessary to expel these armies to ensure the stability of Xuzhou, so that we have to spend a lot of time and money to be able to defeat them all, but for us, they are the most lacking, so I said, even if Xuzhou City is taken, it is worthless. โ
"Moreover, if we want to take revenge, we killed so many people in Xuzhou, it's enough, right?"
Hearing Guo Jia suddenly say the last sentence, everyone's faces changed, even Xiahoudun, who had always respected him, couldn't help but take a step in front of him after hearing Guo Jia say this slightly mocking words, and asked with a stern face: "Military advisor, what do you mean by this?" โ
Guo Jia smiled and said: "It's not interesting, I'm telling the truth, and besides, with Cao Song's life alone, isn't it a big profit to exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou?" โ
"Guo Fengxiao!"
Xiahoudun couldn't bear it, he was a person with an upright personality, love and hate, and he had great respect for Guo Jia in the past, because he knew that Guo Jia was talented and loyal to Cao Cao.
But now, Guo Jia is ridiculing Cao Song, how can this make Xiahou not angry?
This Cao Song is Cao Cao's father, Xiahoudun is related to the Cao family, Guo Jia ridiculed Cao Song so bluntly, Xiahoudun was even more angry than Cao Cao, even if he knew that Guo Jia was usually a person who would not say such a thing, but when he heard this from Guo Jia's mouth with his own ears, he still couldn't control his anger, and walked towards Guo Jia with a fist in a menacing manner.
"General Yuanrang, please control your emotions!"
Seeing Xiahoudun walking towards Guo Jia so angrily, Dian Wei, who sensed that he might do something to Guo Jia, walked up in time and blocked between the two of them.
Even Dian Wei, who usually gets along well, stood in front of Xiahoudun at this time to persuade him, Xiahoudun still didn't listen, only to see him say coldly to Dian Wei: "You get out of the way!" His expression was still angry.
Dian Wei said: "I can't let it go, the lord has instructed me, no matter what, I can't let the military advisor suffer a little damage, even if my life is not there, I can't let you make a move on the military advisor!" โ
In the face of Dian Wei's resolute obstruction, Xiahou was even more furious, his fists crackled, his eyes glared at Dian Wei, gritted his teeth and said, "You have to figure out who you are doing things for!" โ
Xiahoudun is warning Dian Wei not to forget who his lord is.
But Dian Wei was not confused, he said seriously: "I know who my lord is, and it is precisely because of this that I have to protect Guo Junshi, because only he can save us from a desperate situation!" โ
Hearing Dian Wei's words, Xiahoudun was slightly stunned, and then he heard Cao Cao behind him laughing.
"Hahaha, it's not Dian Wei, you can still be so calm in this situation!"
Cao Cao said, stood up from his position, he walked up to Xiahoudun and Dian Wei, glanced at the two of them, and then held Xiahoudun's clenched fist, and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang, Dian Wei is right, now only Fengxiao can rescue us from this desperate situation." โ
Xiahoudun said unwillingly: "But he dares to speak disrespectfully to Taigong, you can bear this anger Mengde, I can't bear it!" โ
Seeing that Xiahou Xuan's anger had not subsided, Guo Jia walked up and said, "If General Yuan Rang thinks that I, Guo Jia, are wrong, just beat me, General Dian Wei, don't stop you." โ
"But ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Seeing Guo Jia standing in front of Xiahoudun fearlessly and saying such things, not only Dian Wei was not at ease, but even everyone present was worried about him.
In the Cao army, no one dared to talk to Xiahoudun like this, if it weren't for Cao Cao and Dian Wei to protect him, Xiahoudun would probably have started beating people at this time, and with Guo Jia's thin body, if he was beaten down by Xiahoudun with a punch, he would probably pass away.
Everyone didn't understand why Guo Jia suddenly said such disrespectful words to the late Cao Cao's father Cao Song, although what he said was the truth, but after all, Cao Cao was his lord, and if he said it so bluntly, I am afraid that only Cao Cao in the world could tolerate Guo Jia speaking so arbitrarily.
Seeing Dian Wei's hesitant expression, Guo Jia glanced at him with a smile.
