Chapter 609: Cao Cao's Entry into Xuzhou (Part I)

The book is picked up again.

Ten days is enough.

"......" Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he sighed and said to Guo Jia, who had been following him: "Brother Xingzhi is really a great talent, and this information of his can be described as extremely detailed!"

Even Zang Ba likes to drink and eat is very clearly recorded, and this information can be worth 100,000 troops! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao's face was full of emotion.

Since then, although Cao Cao is on the march, in the process of marching, he often takes out the information given to him by Li Zhi and looks at it carefully.

Every time he watched it, his admiration for Li Zhi increased by one point!

He really couldn't imagine how Li Zhi understood everything about Zang Ba so thoroughly.

After Guo Jia on the side heard Cao Cao's words, he pursed his lips and said with disdain: "What's the big deal?!"

When we arrive in Xuzhou, you give me some money and manpower, and I will also get you an intelligence force, which is guaranteed to be no worse than my brother! ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment after hearing Guo Jia's words, and then he turned his head sharply, looked at Guo Jia with ecstaty, and asked eagerly: "What does Feng Xiao mean by this?"

Do you know the inside story of the intelligence department under the command of the virtuous brother? ”

"Hehe......" Guo Jia heard this, and after chuckling, he said with a better face: "Jia not only understands, but understands very well!" ”

"Hiss......" Cao Cao gasped and asked with a puzzled face after hearing Guo Jia's words: "Could it be that Brother Xingzhi revealed all the things in the intelligence department to Feng Xiao?" ”

When Cao Cao asked this, his face was a little weird.

You must know that there is a good saying, if the king is not secret, the king will lose his ministers if he is not secret, and if the ministers are not secret, he will lose his body!

It can be seen that no matter what you do, it is best to keep it as confidential as possible.

Cao Cao couldn't understand why Li Zhi was so careless, and he actually told Guo Jia the secret under his command in a grand manner, which made him a little stunned and very puzzled at the same time.

It is said that Li Zhinai is a rare talent in a hundred years, and it is absolutely impossible for him not to know this truth, so why did he do this?

Just when Cao Cao was puzzled, Guo Jia on the side took a sip of wine with a nonchalant face, and said lightly: "Brother Meng De doesn't need to be suspicious.

The reason why Jia knows these secrets is because the intelligence department under his brother's command was originally forged by Jia! ”

"......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Guo Jia, his eyes full of disbelief.

In the past, Guo Jia gave him the impression that he was a very talented person, but he took the wrong path.

The reason why he agreed to Li Zhi to take Guo Jia away was that he wanted to take care of Guo Jia.

On the one hand, it is to leave a great talent for himself, and on the other hand, it is also to strengthen the connection with Li Zhi.

In other words, from beginning to end, he didn't think Guo Jia was a useful talent.

Of course, he does not deny that Guo Jia is very smart, but he feels that Guo Jia's personality is prodigal, and he is afraid that he is not suitable for being an official.

Therefore, he felt that after he transferred and taught Guo Jia, Guo Jia would be regarded as a real talent.

And now, Cao Cao knows that he was wrong!

How can a person who can control an intelligence department be a mediocre talent?!

Although Cao Cao has such and such mistakes, he has another advantage, that is, he knows his mistakes and corrects them!

Therefore, after learning about Guo Jia's talent, he immediately bowed solemnly to Guo Jia and said, "Please forgive me!"

In the past, Brother Wei always felt that although Brother Feng Xiaoxian was talented, he lacked experience and was useless!

Now that I know that Brother Feng Xiaoxian is not useless, but a real person who does not show his face! ”

"What a real person doesn't show his face!" After Guo Jia shook his head, he said bitterly: "The reason why Jia became the leader of the intelligence department under my brother's command is also forced to be helpless.

At the beginning, the elder brother used quitting alcohol as a threat, so that Jia became the hateful leader, but Jia was not lightly tormented.

If it weren't for being forced to be helpless, Jia would definitely not have coordinated another intelligence department. ”

"Uh......" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he asked with puzzlement: "Then why does Fengxiao still want to cast an intelligence department for his brother?" ”

"Isn't it impossible!" Guo Jia, who was riding on a donkey, scratched the back of his head, pointed to a carriage behind him with a bitter face, and said, "The night before we left, my brother came to look for Jia.

He hoped that Jia Neng would forge an intelligence unit for Brother Mengde.

At first, Jia refused.

But Jia can't stand the temptation of her brother!

He tempted Jia with a wagon of aged wine, and after taking a sip, Jia could not resist the temptation, and had no choice but to accept his brother's order. ”

"......" Cao Cao's expression froze after hearing Guo Jia's words, and he shook his head helplessly.

He didn't doubt what Guo Jia said, because he knew that Guo Jia was such a person!

However, he was also a little crying and laughing now, he didn't expect that for Guo Jia, Li Zhi's order was not as useful as a carriage of wine.

After being speechless for a while, Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, since you were originally the intelligence leader under the command of Xingzhixian Brother, who took over your class after you followed Brother Wei?" ”

After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, he glanced at Cao Cao with a smile and said, "Brother Meng De, the intelligence department under Brother Dignity was cast by Jia.

But months ago, his brother gave him to someone else. ”

"Hiss......" Cao Cao's face was full of shock after hearing Guo Jia's words.

He knows Li Zhi, and he knows that Li Zhi is a person who knows how to make good use of people.

Since Li Zhi replaced Guo Jia with someone else, it proves that that person is more suitable to take over the intelligence department than Guo Jia!

Although Cao Cao didn't know what Guo Jia's methods were, he understood that since Guo Jia could cast an intelligence department, his methods must not be bad!

And Guo Jia, who has such means, was actually replaced, which Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised.

Therefore, he asked Guo Jia with curiosity: "Fengxiao, who replaced you?" ”

After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's question, he replied: "This person's surname is Jia Mingyu, the character Wenhe!" ”

"Jia Wenhe?" Cao Cao fell into deep thought when he heard the name.

However, he thought about it for a long time and didn't think about who Jia Wenhe was.

Helpless, he could only raise his head and ask Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, please forgive me for being my brother's loneliness, I really haven't heard of this person." ”

"It's weird if you can know" Guo Jia said with a weird smile on his face: "Jia Wen and this person are very interesting.

Although he is talented, he puts his life first, appears to be very low-key, and does not try to be famous in anything.

If it weren't for his brother's discerning eyes, he would have seen through Jia Wenhe's disguise at once.

I'm afraid that my brother will be like Dong Zhuo and miss this person! ”

"This ......" Cao Cao couldn't cry or laugh after hearing Guo Jia's words.

He didn't expect that there would be such a person in the world, obviously he was a great talent, but he didn't seek fame and fortune, and he didn't show himself, he was really a weird one!

After ordinary talents have achieved success, they will inevitably show off their talents everywhere, just like when Confucius was successful in learning and sold his knowledge everywhere.

However, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and there are many people who read, and there are always a few freaks, and Jia Wenhe is one of them.

After being stunned for a long time, Cao Cao came back to his senses, and asked Guo Jia with curiosity on his face: "Fengxiao, you mentioned Dong Zhuo just now, could it be that this Jia Wenhe was originally Dong Zhuo's subordinate?" ”

"That's right" After Guo Jia nodded, he told Li Zhi how to win over Jia Wenhe from Dong Zhuo, how he ordered him to be the intelligence department, and how Jia Wenhe behaved after becoming an official.

After Cao Cao listened to Jia Wenhe's past, his eyes flickered.

Just listening to Guo Jia's narration, he could perceive that Jia Wenhe was a talented person!

"It's a pity......" After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head with regret on his face and said: "It's a pity that such a talent was co-opted by the virtuous brother of Xingzhi!" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao clapped his hands bitterly and said, "Such a talent should join this glorious world!"

I really shouldn't follow Xingzhi to be an ordinary teacher, it's too wasteful of talents! ”

"Hehe......" After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's heart-wrenching words, he chuckled twice, shook his head, and said, "There is nothing to waste or waste."

The reason why Brother Meng De felt that it was a waste was because Brother Meng De was standing in a different position.

From Brother Mengde's point of view, it is indeed a waste for such a talent to be with books all day long!

However, from the perspective of my brother, a talent like Jia Wenhe is the right person for a university teacher!

Besides, he not only has to be a university teacher with his brother, but also has to control the intelligence department for his brother and monitor the movements of all forces in the world.

In this way, it is not a waste of talent. ”

After saying this, Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao with a smile and asked, "The reason why Brother Meng De is so distressed is probably not only because he feels that he has wasted his talents, but also because you have a mind for Jia Wenhe, right?" ”

"That's right!" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he didn't quibble, nodded calmly and said: "If you want to dominate the world, you need countless talents!"

Although Xingzhi Xian also needs talents, the talents he needs are just some ordinary Confucians.

For example, Jia Wen and such talents who are good at the way of wisdom and resourcefulness are indeed a bit wasteful in the hands of the virtuous brothers. ”

After saying this, Cao Cao raised his head and looked into the distance and muttered, "No! After arriving in Xuzhou, Brother Wei found ten or eight Confucians and replaced Jia Wenhe.

Not only that, but Brother Wei also wants to replace all the generals under the command of Xingzhixian Brother one by one.

They should have been all over the world, and it was a pity to stay with the virtuous brother as a guard! ”

After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's muttering, he thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Maybe it's really good!"

As long as Brother Meng De prepares more talents who can teach people to read and write, maybe the elder brother may really be able to hand over the Wencheng military general under his command to Brother Meng De. ”

"Uh-huh?!!!" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he turned his head with a stunned face, looked at Guo Jia, and stammered, "Feng... Fengxiao, my brother was just talking angrily just now, how can you ......?"

After saying this, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with hope and excitement.

The words he just said were just angry words because he cherished talents.

After all, Li Zhi had no intention of dominating the world at all, but the military generals under his command were even more powerful than Cao Cao's subordinates who planned to dominate the world.

This kind of comparison, how can Cao Cao be embarrassed? !

That's why he said that he wanted to replace all the civil and military generals under Li Zhi's command.

But he didn't expect that when it came to his momentary angry words, Feng Xiao took it seriously and gave a positive answer!

This made Cao Cao surprised and a little scared at the same time.

He was afraid that what Guo Jia said just now was a joke!

And the reason why Cao Cao is like this, the reason why he suffers from gains and losses is because the military generals under Li Zhi are too tempting!

No matter who it is, as long as you get these people, you can instantly become one of the few forces in the world!

As long as Cao Cao gets these people, then he can point to the noses of all the princes in the world and shout loudly: "You are not vulnerable!" ”

That's right, if Cao Cao gets the people under Li Zhi's command, he will dare to say this!

Because Li Zhi's command got a general, all of them were strengthened by Li Zhiwei.

Therefore, if you go head-to-head, I'm afraid there will be no big general at all to match these people!

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was very popular for generals to go heads-up, and the losing side would often lose a big fall, while the winning side would have a big morale!

If you increase and decrease in this way, the gap will be huge.

For example, when Lu Bu took an ordinary army to fight against Xu Rong with the same number of elite troops.

As long as Xu Rong dares not to fight Lu Bu alone, then after Lu Bu wins, the ordinary army under Lu Bu will instantly surpass the elite troops under Xu Rong because of morale!

It is precisely because of this that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes would attach so much importance to the brave generals.

Because a brave general can turn defeat into victory at a critical moment!

And it is precisely because of this that there is a saying that thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general.

This sentence is not flattery, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, the role of a brave general could really be worth thousands of troops!

Therefore, if Cao Cao really got those generals under Li Zhi who were strengthened by Li Zhi, I am afraid that his tail would really be cocked!

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao looking at him with blank eyes, and asked with a smile: "Brother Meng De, although your words just now are angry words, it is not impossible to realize. ”

"Oh?" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he grabbed his sleeve and asked with a sincere face: "If Brother Feng Xiaoxian can bring the Wencheng martial arts general under Brother Xingzhi to the command of Brother Wei, no matter what Brother Feng Xiaoxian wants, as long as he has it, he will never refuse!" ”

"Hehe......" After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, the thief laughed and said, "Jia doesn't have any other requirements, as long as in the future, Brother Meng De doesn't restrain Jia too much." ”

"Okay, good ......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's request, he was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and said: "As long as this matter can be successful, even if you burn down Brother Wei's mansion, Brother Wei will never say a word!" ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, who was full of anxiety, and didn't take it seriously, and said directly: "Brother Meng De, you really care about it!"

You don't want to think about it, my brother doesn't compete for hegemony in the world, why did he attract so many civil ministers and military generals? ”

"Huh?!" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked thoughtfully: "Brother Feng Xiaoxian means that the reason why Brother Xingzhi has attracted so many civil ministers and military generals is all for his brother?" ”

After saying this, he shook his head again and asked himself, "But it doesn't make sense."

If Xingzhi's virtuous brother is really for his brother, then why doesn't he just hand over these civil and military generals to his brother? ”

After saying this, Cao Cao suddenly seemed to think of something, his face changed, and he looked at Guo Jia with a blue face and asked: "Brother Fengxiaoxian, you honestly tell Brother Wei, is it to prevent Brother Xingzhi from attracting so many people?" ”

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao with a surprised face, he didn't expect that Cao Cao would guess Li Zhi's thoughts just by this clue.

Now that Cao Cao had guessed it, Guo Jia no longer concealed it, nodded and said, "Brother Meng De is right, brother is indeed guarding against Brother Meng De." ”

"......" Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly after receiving this definite answer, his face was pale, and he had a feeling of betrayal at this time.

He regarded Li Zhi as his own brother, but Li Zhi was guarding him behind his back, which really made him sad!

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, who was full of iron, and was not afraid, and asked with a smile: "Does Brother Meng De feel sad?" ”

"Huh......" Cao Cao is not a stupid person after all, after he was sad for a while, he let out a long breath, shook his head, and said bitterly: "Although I am really very sad for my brother."

But after thinking about it, the elder brother understood why the virtuous brother of Xingzhi was like this. ”

"Oh?" When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"Alas......" After Cao Cao sighed bitterly, he said helplessly: "Brother Xingzhi's move is not to guard against his brother Cao Mengde, but to guard against the overlord Cao Cao!"

As his elder brother, of course he is willing to block the difficulties of the world's families for him.

That's as the overlord of one party, but you can't do everything on your own.

In the process of competing for world dominance, it is inevitable that it will temporarily form alliances with certain forces.

And in the world, the other princes are all members of the family!

If the brother insists on going his own way, and blocks the people of the family for the sake of the virtuous brother, I am afraid that no one will be willing to form an alliance with the brother.

At that time, my brother can only face the world alone!

If it's just for the brother, it's okay to fight the world alone for the virtuous brother!

However, after the brother becomes the overlord of one side, the brother needs to consider the countless people under his command.

When the time comes, for the sake of the interests of the people under his command, it is inevitable that he will form an alliance with the people of the family!

And the virtuous brother of the line and the people of the world's family are mortal enemies, and when the time comes, the brother will have to stand on the opposite side of the virtuous brother of the line! ”

"Alas......" After Cao Cao said this, he sighed again, looked into the distance and muttered: "It is precisely because of this that the virtuous brother of Xingzhi still left a large number of soldiers and horses and military generals.

His power is to guard against his brother!

After his brother and he were opposed, he could still withstand the pressure of the family and continue to carry out his plan by relying on his own power!

In the final analysis, it's still for my brother to lose his trust!

At the beginning, the elder brother promised the virtuous brother to block the family's difficulties for him, but ......"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao sighed with a melancholy face and looked into the distance......
