The book is picked up again.

Jizhou, Cao Cao's mansion.

"Alas......" Cao Cao looked at the bamboo slips lined up in front of him in the shape of a mountain, let out a long sigh, rubbed his forehead, and his face was full of helplessness.

Although these things symbolize power to him, too much power is also a headache.

Because he had only acquired a lot of the territory under his command, there were countless things, big and small, and he hadn't slept a good night's sleep for days.

"That's it, who let a certain family choose this path......" Cao Cao muttered softly, then took a bamboo slip and looked at it carefully.

Although he said that he was dissatisfied, he was still very satisfied with his current life.

He just loves the feeling of being in power!

This fulfilling life made him feel a deep sense of satisfaction.

"The Lord Princess ......" Just as Cao Cao was dealing with official business, Guo Jia ran in from outside with a shout.

"Huh......" Cao Cao, who was taken aback, saw that it was Guo Jia, and after exhaling helplessly, he asked: "Fengxiao, can't you learn from your brother and be more steady?" ”

Cao Cao himself is a person who doesn't pay much attention to rules, but since he has his current foundation, he has gradually paid attention to the superiority and inferiority.

Because only when the superiority and humility are clear, can he better rule his own forces.

This is why Guo Jia dares to be here and he is not big or small, if he changes to someone else, it will be strange if Cao Cao is not punished heavily!

"Yes, yes, yes... The subordinates know ......" After Guo Jia nodded insincerely, his face changed, and he smiled strangely: "But this time the lord is wrong, because the elder brother is not necessarily better than his subordinates." ”

"Huh?" After Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, he thought of a possible change in his face and asked, "Could it be that things in Yanzhou have changed?" ”

"That's right!" Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao immediately guessed it, nodded boringly, and said, "Brother has paid so many things, but the effect is surprisingly poor!"

Not only that, but now my brother is also trapped in Yanzhou and does not dare to move. ”

"How is this possible?!" When Cao Cao heard that Li Zhi was trapped in Yanzhou, he stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

In his impression, Li Zhi has always been a very reliable person, can a mere Yanzhou be able to hold him?

Cao Cao sent Li Zhi to Yanzhou, not to attack Yanzhou, but to disturb Yanzhou!

Such a trivial matter, even if it is an unreliable person like Guo Jia, can do it, how can Li Zhi, a person who is more powerful than Guo Jia, not be able to do it?

What a reason!

After thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately stretched out his hand to Guo Jia, "Quick!" Give the information to a certain family. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't believe it, Guo Jia immediately handed over the information in his hand to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao received the information, he looked at it impatiently.

The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows furrowed, and after a long time, he put down the information and said with puzzlement: "It stands to reason that this shouldn't be, how can the virtuous brother make mistakes repeatedly?" ”

That's right, if you don't calculate the psychological situation of the forces on all sides, just from the surface, Li Zhi's trip to Yanzhou this time is indeed a repeated mistake!

For example: As soon as Li Zhi entered the city, he immediately impatiently connected with Wang Gouzi.

For example: Li Zhizai hasn't yet

With a complete understanding of Wang Gouzi's psychology, he immediately gave him such a large amount of materials, which aroused his ambition.

Another example: Li Zhi didn't understand Wang Gouzi's mind at all, so he took it for granted that Wang Gouzi would face Zhang Yan.

But when it came to the end, Wang Gouzi suddenly came to a golden cicada and played Li Zhi, so that Li Zhi had to go into battle in person!

It can be seen from all this that Li Zhi has not done a single right thing since he arrived in Yanzhou.

If it weren't for Cao Cao knowing that his intelligence department was absolutely reliable, he would have thought that this information was false!

This is very different from what he knew about Li Zhi in the past, and he is not a person at all!

"Alas......" Guo Jia sighed when he heard this, and said helplessly: "My subordinates didn't believe this information when they first received it, but after several comparisons, they found that this information was completely correct, and it was written by General Xiahou himself. ”

"......" Cao Cao was silent after hearing Guo Jia's words.

If it were someone else, Cao Cao might still doubt the authenticity of this information.

But for Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao will never doubt it!

Because Cao Cao knew that even if Xiahou Dun was caught by the enemy, he would never betray Cao Cao, let alone pass false information to Cao Cao!

So......

"This information turned out to be true...... Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand indifferently, not knowing what to say.

You must know that Li Zhi told Cao Cao before he set off that he would stand behind the scenes and provoke a duel against Zhang Yan's forces.

Now it's a good thing, the opposition forces' Jin Cicada has broken away from its shell and fled, and Li Zhi personally took action to fight with Zhang Yan, which made Cao Cao not know how to describe the matter.

"Alas......" After a long sigh, Cao Cao sat back in his seat and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Guo Jia on the side said with a smile: "Lord, this is actually a good thing." ”

"A good thing?" After Cao Cao, who was pondering, heard Guo Jia's words, he raised his head suddenly, and asked with a shocked face, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe......" Guo Jia took off the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip, then chuckled: "Lord, haven't you noticed?" The elder brother has won many battles, has never failed, and is already about to become a god of war in the army! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Cao Cao meaningfully, "But my lord, the army should be completely in your hands!"

Although his subordinates also believe that his brother will not have any other ideas, he can't bear the thoughts of others!

Therefore, this time the elder brother seems to have failed, but he has also solved a big trouble for the lord.

His defeat removed him from his position as God, and in this way, it was of great benefit to the lord and to the brother! ”

"......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he looked at him blankly and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Cao Cao suddenly chuckled, "Heh! Feng Xiao is right, this is indeed a good thing for a certain family and for the virtuous brother of Xingzhi. ”

Through Guo Jia's persuasion, Cao Cao also figured out that it was just a Yanzhou, even if it was allowed to develop, what could it do? !

Cao Cao has already occupied most of the Central Plains, just such a small area, even if it is redeveloped, what can Cao Cao do?

And for Cao Cao, the military power in his hands is indeed comparable

Just one Yanzhou is more important!

Now, as long as he pays a small price, he can make his position more secure, and Cao Cao is of course happy!

In other words, Li Zhi's defeat was not only not a bad thing for Cao Cao, but a great thing!

After figuring it out, Cao Cao's face also showed a smile, and he teased: "The so-called "Yin, overturning the boat in the ditch" refers to the virtuous brother of Xingzhi, right?

He has come over with strong winds and waves, and he has planted a heel in a Yanzhou, and when the virtuous brother comes back, a certain family must laugh at him, hahaha......"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao laughed with pleasure.

"Hehe......" Guo Jia also laughed after hearing Cao Cao's words.

Because there are not many times when he can watch his brother's jokes, if he Li Zhi comes back now, he will definitely follow Cao Cao to laugh at Li Zhi frantically.

"Oh yes!" After Guo Jia laughed for a while, he suddenly remembered the letter, so he took out a thick letter from his chest and put it on Cao Cao's table, "Lord, this is a letter written to you by General Xiahou.

I am afraid that this tells in detail all the things that happened after my brother and others went to Yanzhou. ”

"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he curiously picked up the letter and opened it.

By this time he was completely relaxed, and he didn't care what was said in the letter.

He can even accept Li Zhi's complete failure, what else is unacceptable?

Therefore, while opening the letter, he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, let's take a good look at how many mistakes the virtuous brother has made in this trip, right!" ”

Speaking of this, he paused with his hand opening the letter, and smiled at Guo Jia: "A certain family will read this letter in a while, and then I will calculate how many mistakes there are in the virtuous brother of the line."

Don't forget to remember, this is one of the few opportunities to laugh at the virtuous brothers, and we must cherish it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" When Guo Jia heard such an interesting thing, of course he would not refute it, and immediately trotted all the way to Cao Cao's desk, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and looked at Cao Cao with an expectant face.

"......" After Cao Cao completely opened the letter and read it for a while, his face, which was still full of smiles, gradually became solemn.

“？？？” Guo Jia was confused about this, and thought to himself: "What is said in this letter?"

Why did the lord's face suddenly become ugly?

Could it be that my brother did something stupid in Yanzhou? ”

Thinking of this, Guo Jia became even more curious about the content of the letter.

However, he didn't dare to peek at the letter, so he could only stand there scratching his ears and cheeks, waiting for Cao Cao to read the letter for him.

However, he waited for a long time and didn't see Cao Cao move, he secretly glanced at Cao Cao, and found that Cao Cao's face had turned iron blue at this time, and his eyes were full of anger!

Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was really angry, so he asked softly, "Lord, what happened?" ”

"Alas......" Guo Jia's words woke up the angry Cao Cao, and after a long sigh, he handed the letter to Guo Jia, "See for yourself"

After saying that, he rubbed his temples vigorously with his hands, as if he had a very bad headache.

After Guo Jia took the letter, he frowned and read it carefully.........
