Unexpectedly, Guo Jia gave the first order, and someone stood up against it, this person is still Xiahoudun's younger brother Xiahouyuan, it seems that he not only has an opinion on Guo Jia's order, but also wants to save some face for his brother Xiahoudun.

Guo Jia smiled and asked, "Why did I frame you?" ”

Everyone thought that Guo Jia would immediately get angry in the face of Xiahou Yuan's questioning, because he was so strict in front of everyone before, and now as soon as the order was given, Xiahou Yuan stood up against him, Guo Jia's sword was in hand, and Cao Cao supported him, if he wanted to give Xiahou Yuan a dismount, it would be an easy matter.

But what he didn't expect was that Guo Jia did not suppress Xiahou Yuan domineeringly, but calmly asked him the reason, which Guo Jia smiled angrily, which was really confusing.

I saw Xiahou Yuan say: "You know that those Qingzhou soldiers do not obey discipline, even if we give orders, they may not necessarily obey, in case these Qingzhou troops are like last time, wantonly and indiscriminately killing people, then don't we have to take the blame for them?" ”

The question raised by Xiahou Yuan is also a matter of doubt in everyone's hearts, indeed as he said, these Qingzhou army was originally an army composed of undisciplined exiles, after being absorbed by Cao Cao, it was not trained for a long time, and it went to the battlefield, and the Qingzhou army was wild and untamable, so it caused a catastrophe, and finally led to the dilemma of today's Cao army outside Xuzhou.

Guo Jia understood their difficulties, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to be nervous, since I, Guo Jia, have given the order, I naturally have taken this into account, and when the time comes, the generals only need to arrange their troops according to my requirements, so as to prevent the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army from doing anything wrong." ”

Hearing Guo Jia say this, although Xiahou Yuan didn't know his plan yet, since he said that there was a way, he couldn't ask any more, so he chose not to speak out.

Guo Jia saw that no one raised any more opinions, so he said: "Then I will continue to talk about this second thing, that is, if anyone I give an order is not resolutely implemented, no matter whether the result is good or bad, it will be severely punished in accordance with military law!" ”

"Hmph, if it is clear that we are sent to death, do we also have to die?"

The person who spoke was Cao Ren, and he had been silent before, and he didn't speak until this time.

Guo Jia knew in his heart that although he had Cao Cao's support, it was still a little difficult to make these relatives and generals completely obey him, if he didn't convince them one by one here, there would definitely be chaos later, rather than being difficult to clean up at that time, it was better to spend more time here to settle things down, although time was precious, but he couldn't help but do it.

I saw Guo Jia reply: "General Cao Ren is right, if there is really that need, then whoever I want to let die, he must die." ”

After Guo Jia calmly answered Cao Ren's question, the people below were in an uproar.

Cao Ren's eyes widened and he said angrily, "What did you say? ”

Seeing this situation, Guo Jia was still not in a hurry, and explained calmly: "If the army is opened, the road is unpredictable, once it encounters danger, someone is bound to come forward to resolve the crisis for the Cao army, since it is a dangerous thing, it must be unpredictable life and death, are you not ready for this kind of consciousness when the generals are fighting on the battlefield for the lord?" ”

Facing Guo Jia's rhetorical question, Cao Ren snorted coldly and replied: "Hmph, you still need to say it, if it is really Cao Jun in danger, even if you don't say it, how can we all sit idly by?" Being born and dying on the battlefield has long been our daily routine, unlike some people, who sit in the rear and play majestic, but they are more powerful than anyone else! ”

Cao Ren's implication was naturally to satirize Guo Jia for not going to the battlefield in person, but pointing fingers at them, the generals who were born and died on the battlefield.

At this time, Xun You suddenly stood up and spoke, only to see him arch his hand, and said to Cao Ren: "General Cao Ren, I don't agree with this, we are the advisors of the lord, it is our duty to make suggestions behind the scenes, and it is natural for the generals to charge in front, everyone shows their strengths, and the difficulties can be solved. ”

Everyone didn't expect Xun You to suddenly stand up and speak for Guo Jia at this time, in this sensitive time, Xun You's actions are undoubtedly on Guo Jia's side, although everyone is Cao Cao's subordinates, but partisan disputes will occur whenever and where, as long as there is power, there will be disputes, and where there are disputes, gangs are indispensable, this is the essence of human beings, and it is also the basis of power struggle

Under this condition, a person who fights alone, no matter how strong his ability is and how high his status is, even if he is an emperor with great talent, if he does not have the help of his cronies, he will be alone and unable to speak, and eventually attract disaster, in today's Cao army, this situation is no exception.

Cao Cao's relatives and generals have always held their own special status, and their status in the Cao army is superior, even if Xun Yu and Xun You are famous people from famous families, in the Cao army, they also have to look at the faces of their relatives and generals, so in order to consolidate their status and prestige, the strategist group centered on Xun Yu and Xun You's two uncles and nephews, as well as the generals with foreign surnames, spontaneously organized together to form a group and support each other.

But in general, even if the strategists and the generals with foreign surnames formed an alliance, they still had to keep a low profile in front of the relatives generals, because no matter how enlightened Cao Cao was, his attitude towards his own family members should always be closer, just like this time Cao Hong's dereliction of duty, which led to the reinforcements entering the city of Xuzhou, although he made a mistake, but in the end it was not over, which is a privilege that other generals with foreign surnames cannot match.

And this time, Guo Jia openly clashed with the generals of his relatives, and they, people with foreign surnames, should have remained united and supported Guo Jia, but until now, only Xun You dared to stand up and speak for Guo Jia.

Seeing Xun You refute him, Cao Ren turned his head and glared at Xun You, and said coldly: "Gongda, this is a joke that we martial artists haven't read many books?" ”

Cao Ren's face was as cold as ice, he was usually a difficult person to get close to, but now he was angry, which was even more chilling.

"It's not us, I've read a lot of military books!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more solemn, Cao Chun suddenly appeared and said something in a gag.

Cao Ren glared at him and reprimanded: "Zihe, don't make trouble!" ”

was reprimanded by Cao Ren, Cao Chun stuck out his tongue and retreated.

At this time, Xun You arched his hand and said: "General Cao Ren misunderstood, I don't mean that the generals have less reading, but everyone has their own strengths, and the generals can fight habitually, which is incomparable to us and other scholars, but giving advice to the Lord is what we are better at." ”
