Not to mention Hua Tuo.

After Cao Cao and the others left, Chen Jue left Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong behind, showing a thoughtful expression, and asked:

"Cao Cao's return this time, what do you think?"

That's a serious question.

Pang Tong groaned and replied first:

"Everyone in the world says that Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, and there is a saying that I would rather be responsible for the world than for the world. But in today's opinion, it is indeed not easy for Cao Cao to do so much for a strategist. ”

Zhuge Liang Zhengse retorted:

"What's so surprising about this, Guo Jia is not an ordinary strategist, this person is Cao Cao's rare cronies, he has a glimmer of life, he will naturally do his best, will he still watch him die?"

Pang Tong wanted to speak again, but Chen Jue was speechless.

What are these two thinking, but they are asking the right thing, how did they get to Cao Cao's life?

It was Chen Jue who interrupted directly and said:

"Stop, stop, that's not what the owner of this village is asking."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were a little embarrassed.

But they quickly reacted, and Zhuge Liang said:

"Now that Cao Cao can pull out, eighty percent of the annexed states have also been stabilized, so he just needs to go back and lead the army to collect the troops."

Pang Tong nodded and agreed:

"Hole...... Lao Zhu is right, now the Cao army is too powerful, and the high-ranking cadres in the state have no strength to fight. ”

Pang Tong almost slipped his mouth, and Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps perceiving this gaze, Pang Tong was still calm, and said:

"But this may be a good thing for the cottage."

Chen Jue sighed and asked again:

"Good thing...... How so? ”

Pang Tong gave an explanation:

"Since it won't take too long for Cao Cao to take the state, then his next target must be Wuhuan."

Zhuge Liang also interjected:

"Exactly, the Yuan brothers abandoned Youzhou and led the soldiers and horses north into Wuhuan, if the Yuan brothers were not removed, Cao Cao's goal would not be successful, so he would definitely send troops to attack Wuhuan.

When Cao Cao sent troops to Wuhuan, the battle situation between the two sides was inseparable, even if Qingyunzhai took action, Cao Cao could not take care of it. When the time comes, it may be easier for us to carry out the plan, and we don't have to worry too much. ”

After the two explained, Chen Jue's eyes lit up, and he nodded:

"I see, that's a good thing."

But then, Zhuge Liang wondered:

"It's just that the general Guo Jia stayed, if he was cured, he was Cao Cao's confidant, and he knew the reality of the cottage......"

Zhuge Liang's worries are not unreasonable.

But Chen Jue looked very confident and replied:

"Don't worry, Lao Zhu, who knows if Guo Jia will be Cao Cao's cronies in the future?"

It's a simple sentence, but it has many meanings.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, the astonishment in their eyes was indescribable, and the extraordinary self-confidence of the owner of the village was amazing.

Guo Jia is not Cao Cao's cronies, will he become Chen Jue's cronies?

It's not impossible.

Chen Jue smiled calmly and said to himself in his heart:

"This is Qingyun Village."

To cure Guo Jia's illness, it is not a day or two, and Chen Jue can do a lot in the future.

Coupled with the influence of Dianjiangtai, it is not certain who has the final say.

……

Now.

Cao Cao had already set up a large table in the palace.

Worried about Guo Jia is certain, but after being sent to Qingyun Village, Cao Cao is no longer in a hurry like before, and he is in a hurry.

Eating a hot pot is a good way to decompress.

Food is relaxing.

There were only three people present.

Many dishes on the table, such as fat cow and hairy tripe, were prepared, which was enough for Cao Cao and the three of them to eat.

It's hard to eat it once, and of course you have to enjoy it.

If the hot pot base is gone, and you haven't eaten enough, it will be too wasteful and disgraceful.

While eating, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu and said:

"Ling Jun, is there anything unusual in Yecheng recently?"

During the time when Cao Cao left, the overall situation was quite stable, and the only thing that was annoying was that Zhang Yan.

Xun Yu did not delay, and directly asked people to take the "Taiping Technique", and told Cao Cao about the matter.

Although the two have already told it in their letters, it is too brief to describe it in too much ink and paper.

After Cao Cao listened, he nodded slightly and said:

"I see, this Zhang Yan is bold enough."

Now Zhang Yan is still in prison, but Cao Cao didn't see his interest, and just took over "Taiping Technique".

He started from the Yellow Turban, has some knowledge of Zhang Jiao, and is quite curious about the legendary Taiping technique.

After briefly turning a few pages, Cao Cao was a little disappointed and muttered:

"There seems to be nothing peculiar about this book, it is the same as the "South China Sutra" circulating outside."

Xun Yu nodded and replied:

"This is also something that Weichen is puzzled about, this book is too ordinary."

Cao Cao groaned and asked:

"Is that Zhang Yan deceiving?"

Xun Yu hesitated a little, but still said:

"Probably not, this book has no effect in his hands, maybe there are some specific conditions for opening."

Cao Cao thought about it, and it seemed that there was some truth.

But there is no way at the moment, Cao Cao calmly put it away, ready to take it back to collect, and look at its reality in the future.

Xun Yu had no objection.

Strictly speaking, he was originally collecting it for Cao Cao.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao asked:

"Besides this, is there anything else abnormal in Yecheng?"

Xun Yu frowned, quickly remembered something, and arched his hand:

"If it's something different, Weichen does think of something, and this matter has something to do with Qingyunzhai, which has always been puzzling."

Cao Cao was instantly aroused by his curiosity and said:

"Tell me about any strange things."

Xun Yu nodded and said directly:

"For some reason, Qingyunzhai has recently purchased a large number of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and other things, and I don't know what the purpose is."

Cao Cao was also very surprised when he heard it, the combination of these three things was inevitably a little peculiar, and it was even more difficult to guess.

In addition, Cao Cao had never seen gunpowder, so he couldn't imagine it at all, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:

"Regardless of Chen Jue's reason, Ling Jun, you can also send someone to prepare some, which may come in handy in the future."

Cao Cao's choice was wise.

Although I don't know what Chen Jue is going to do, it won't be wrong to follow the preparation, what if it is something that is beneficial to his side?
