Seeing Cao Cao's actions, Xi Zhi understood that Cao Cao had already had murderous intentions towards the potters, but one was that Yuan Shao was in front and did not dare to make a mistake, and the other was that the potters were strong and not under their own, so it was not easy to succeed.

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "In the battle of Guandu, if we can really defeat Yuan Shao, this northern land will be dominated by Sikong and the pottery merchant in the future, but now that the pottery merchant wants to go deep into the hinterland of our army to find his own death, how can we let him go?" It is impossible to say that after taking the opportunity to kill him, Sikong will be able to dominate the north. ”

Cao Cao was very comfortable when he heard this, and Xi Zhicai's words could be said to be in his arms.

After Cao Cao listened to the potter's request, his first thought was this, but he felt that it was too despicable and shameless.

If one person does bad things, it is called shameless, and many people do bad things together, that is the will of God!

Just when Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were talking energetically, his subordinate Lion Tiger came to meet Cao Cao, saying that the general Cao Ren asked to see him.

As the first general of the Cao clan, Cao Ren's status in Cao Cao's mind was naturally extraordinary, and Cao Cao immediately let him in.

Cao Ren entered the tent, and when he saw Xi Zhicai, he was stunned at first, and then showed a hesitant look on his face.

How smart Xi Zhicai was, he naturally saw that Cao Ren came over to make a small report to Cao Cao to hit someone, but because it was inconvenient for him to say it next to him, he immediately took the excuse to say goodbye to Cao Cao.

After Xi Zhicai left, Cao Ren walked outside the tent again, carefully examined the outside for a moment, and only after confirming that there was no one before turning back.

Cao Cao was stunned by Cao Ren's actions and said, "Zixiao, what do you want to tell me, to be so careful and solemn?"

Cao Ren then said to Cao Cao: "It's not that the general is careful, but it's really a big matter, and it's not good for others to hear it, and it's even more inappropriate for people from Yingchuan to hear it."

Cao Cao frowned: "What the hell is going on?"

Cao Ren said to Cao Cao: "Sikong left the military camp and led his troops to attack Wuchao, and the last general and Xun Yu and others were ordered to guard the official and cross Dazhai...... During this period, when the last general was patrolling the camp, Xun Shizhong had a period of solitude with the pottery merchant. ”

Cao Cao's face changed suddenly when he heard this.

With a gloomy face, he continued, "Go on."

Cao Ren continued: "The last general had a careful eye at that time, and he sent his personal guards to stay outside the commander's tent to eavesdrop, which can be regarded as protecting the safety of Xun Shizhong."

Cao Cao praised Cao Ren's shrewdness and said, "What did they say?"

Cao Ren said: "According to the report of the guards, the voices of the potters and Xun servants are too small, and the specific things are not real, but what can be heard vaguely is only about the Han family...... The matter of the emperor. ”

Cao Cao was silent for a while when he heard this, and only after a while did he say to Cao Ren: "You go and do your own business first, don't mention this matter to anyone."

Cao Ren received the order and went down, leaving Cao Cao alone in the handsome tent and sighed helplessly.

"Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo, the Son of Heaven is dead, for the sake of these two Han family babies who can't even speak, what do you still want to do? The Han family is long gone. Don't you understand? ”

……

The potter returned to his tent, where Guo Jia was waiting for him.

"Told Cao Cao?" Guo Jia said with a smile.

The potter nodded and said, "It's all according to what you taught, and it's not bad for a word."

Guo Jia said very happily: "Then Cao Cao promised to let you go to Yangzhai?"

The potter shrugged slightly: "He has no reason to refuse, right?" And he also praised me for my love and righteousness. ”

"Don't listen to that old thief fooling people!"

Guo Jia flicked his sleeves as if driving away flies.

The muscles in the potter's face twitched.

Listening to the meaning of the surname Guo, he is not a person who values love and righteousness?

Guo Jia continued: "He wants to kill you from the bottom of his heart, Guo dares to bet with his life, if you really go to Yangzhai, Cao Cao will immediately send troops to cut off our return route and put you to death." ”

The potter touched his chin and said: "Of course I understand this, of course we won't really go to Yingchuan Yangzhai, just to show Cao Cao and let him focus on this side, and when the time comes, it will be easy for Cao Cao to ignore the division of Li and Guo's war horses."

Guo Jia said hesitantly: "Cao Cao attaches great importance to you, and your every move will arouse his suspicion, so Guo's strategy will succeed nine times out of ten, among the people in Yingchuan, the only one who can see through Guo's plan is the old dog who is loyal to him, but I estimate that he can't react for a while."

The potter quietly looked at Guo Jia bragging and said, "Don't you think it's too much for you to bury your former classmates and best friends like this?" He's also your classmate, so it's not authentic to say that he's an old dog. ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "What is this?" When I was in the academy, the bastard still scolded me by name for being a live donkey? ”

When the potter heard this, he couldn't help grinning and said with a smile: "The quality of your Yingchuan students...... It's really not ordinary...... It's a fitting description. ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said: "You don't come to harm us, since ancient times, the great sages of the world have not done things according to the rules, and they are different from ordinary people, so what's so strange?"

The potter touched his nose and said, "Daxian does things differently from ordinary people? According to you, I feel that I can also be a great sage, and I can be born with it. ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Are you different from ordinary people?" You're a demon! ”

The potter smiled and said: "Let's talk about business, now that we can't seize the grain and grass of Wuchao, I feel that the defeat of Yuan Shao is even more far away, and I don't know how long this battle will drag on?"

Guo Jia pondered carefully for a while and said, "It's almost there!"

The potter said strangely: "Why?"

Guo Jia said lightly: "Yuan Shao's several designs have failed, although he has abundant grain and grass, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are too large, and too many soldiers and horses in Hebei have been transferred, Zhang Yan and Li Dao in the rear, Guo Yan and others have been teasing him, and his patience is far lower than that of you and Cao Cao."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia took out the gourd he was carrying, poured it and said: "According to Guo's opinion, the abilities of you, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao can be regarded as evenly matched, and they are opponents of each other, and when you are calm, it is difficult for you to find flaws in each other, but now Yuan Shao is in a hurry, and there will inevitably be flaws between actions, and the more anxious you are, the greater the omission, and the more miserable the defeat will be."

……

Yuan Shao's camp.

Yuan Shao's face was very unsightly at the moment.

Han Meng died, and the sneak attack on Xuchang completely collapsed all the way, and the soldiers and horses of Wuchao and Guandu Dazhai did not make any progress.

In this battle, it took so many sacrifices and layouts, but in the end, not only did not get anything, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses and a general.

Whoever it is replaced by will not be happy in anyone's heart at the moment, and Yuan Shao is naturally no exception.

But when Yuan Shao was in a bad mood, there were still people who made moths.

Gao Ran and Liyi ran to Yuan Shao and asked the general to comment on it.

Gao Ran said that Koji Yi did not listen to good words, and insisted on letting many soldiers and horses force officials to cross Dazhai, but he did not get any benefits, and he lost a lot of money.

Koji Yi just sneered when he heard this.
