Chapter 57: The Poisoner and the Traitor (II)

From the perspective of appearance, Jia Xu doesn't have much surprise in appearance, neither as handsome as Xun Yu, nor as resolute as Cheng Yu, let alone as delicate as Guo Jia. It's just that he has an extremely deep temperament on his body, so that Cao Cao can't see through him at all.

"What is Dr. Jia doing here?" After the two looked at each other for a moment, Cao Cao took the lead in taunting the other party, "Could it be that he Li Dao saw that he was cornered, so he specially sent you over to ask for surrender." ”

When the civil and military forces on the left and right heard Cao Cao's words, they laughed again.

However, Jia Xu ignored these ridicules, and just slowly spat out a word, leaving most of the people present stunned.

"Yes."

"W-What did you say?" When Cao Cao heard the word "ran", he was obviously stunned.

"My lord Li Dao, the special dispatch is below, and I have come to ask General Zhendong to surrender."

"Hahahaha——!" After listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao was stunned for a while, and then let out a series of bursting laughs, "Is there really no problem with Li Wei's head, why does he think that I can tolerate his life?" ”

"My lord also said that after his surrender, General Zhendong can remove him from the position of Grand Sima, but he must be conferred on his former general and retain his title of Marquis of Chiyang." Ignoring Cao Cao's words and aside, Jia Xu continued to talk to himself.

“…… Jia Wenhe, what do you mean? Hearing such an outrageous request from Li Dao, Cao Cao no longer felt ridiculous like Fang Cai, but felt completely incredible. Could it be that Li Wei's brain was really sick, or was he under too much pressure before the decisive battle, so he was stunned? The sarcastic words just wanted to blurt out, but the moment he opened his mouth, he stopped again. Of course, Cao Cao has heard of Jia Xu's reputation, and he can be said to be a rare wise man, and there are probably only a few people who can compare with the strategists under his account. Such a character would never think that he would agree to Li Dao's frivolous request, or that he would have the confidence to persuade himself to accept such absurd conditions. In this way, Jia Xu completely repeated Li Dao's ridiculous request in front of him, and his intentions did not seem to be as simple as he had seen.

"General Zhendong thinks, what should I mean?" Jia Xu didn't answer Cao Cao's question, but just asked inscrutablely.

"Jia Dou Guts, guess a thing or two about Mr.'s thoughts, if you don't win, I hope Mr. won't blame you." Cao Cao hadn't figured it out yet, and Guo Jia, who was kneeling beside him, was the first to speak.

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia's location with the voice, and saw that it was a young man in his twenties, and the surprise in his eyes flashed, only to see him say to Guo Jia indifferently: "Please also see me." ”

"If Jia's guess is correct, does Mr. want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Abandon Li Daofu and switch to my lord Meng Degong? Guo Jia saw Jia Xu looking at him, bowed his head slightly to sign, and said slowly with a smile on his face.

When Jia Xu heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, but his eyes were not big, so there was nothing abnormal in the eyes of outsiders.

And after listening to Guo Jia's words, the most excited person was Cao Cao, who was thirsty for talent. Guo Jia's judgment Cao Cao has always been trustworthy, he said that Jia Xu wants to submit to himself, it will definitely not be untargeted, and it is indeed true. And Jia Xu's reputation has already been proven, if he is willing to belong to his account, then he has undoubtedly received a great help, how can this not make Cao Cao, who loves talents, feel excited.

Of course, although Cao Cao's heart was turbulent at this time, and he had already blossomed, he would never put this emotion on the surface, and his demeanor still looked the same as before.

"Hehe, if I want to serve General Zhendong, I can come to surrender alone, so why should I hand over all the trust of my lord Li Daozhi to General Zhendong? I came to ask for surrender on the orders of my lord, and if General Zhendong allowed it, then the contemptible people would naturally fall under the account of General Zhendong, so why bother? Although his intentions were discovered, Jia Xu was not in a hurry to admit it, he wanted to hear the other party's deeper analysis, and wanted to see how high the level of Cao Cao's strategists was.

Why bother? Isn't that obvious, Cao Cao will definitely not agree to such bizarre and ridiculous conditions, then you can only run to submit by yourself. Although everyone here knows this truth, since you Jia Xu insists on pretending to be confused, no one will take the initiative to destroy the atmosphere to expose it.

"Jia Bucai, it's just random speculation. Of course, Mr.'s intentions may not be fulfilled yet. Guo Jia saw that Jia Xu did not admit what he said, he also laughed at this, and then continued to say calmly, "Rong Jia is vain, when Dr. Jia made the plan to return to obedience, he had already set a strategy for my lord to break Li Dao in his heart. And the key to this strategy lies in the matter of Li Dao's request for surrender mentioned by Dr. Jia earlier. ”

If Jia Xu was only slightly surprised before, then he was really shocked at this time. Although Jia Xu himself did not hide his thoughts too much, the young man in front of him only deduced his general thoughts through his own words and judgment of the current situation, how many capable people Cao Mengde has under his account! It seems that his decision to choose to join Cao Cao is really wise.

"Under the command of General Zhendong, it is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and I admire it. The ancients were terrifying, and they were not deceived by me. At this point, Jia Xu no longer played tricks, and generously bowed to Guo Jia, which can be regarded as admitting the correctness of the other party's guess.

"Good! Good! Good! Cao Cao was overjoyed, stroking his palms and laughing, he could get Jia Xu's help, and he was like a tiger.

And after Guo Jia's order, Cao Cao also roughly knew Jia Xu's true thoughts.

"Do you want me to pretend to agree to Li Wei's request to surrender first, and then capture and kill him in one fell swoop when he returns?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xudao.

When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's question, he smiled and said nothing.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, in terms of interests, this is indeed the best. Although his own army is above the other party in terms of combat strength and morale, with the experience of Guo Yan's past, Li Dao will definitely be more cautious when marching and arranging the formation, and he will inevitably suffer losses after the two armies start a battle. But if you allow them to surrender first and then kill them, you don't need to spend a single soldier, and you can completely capture them. But while that would ensure the maximization of the benefits of the present day, it would be a loss of morality in the long run, and the enemy who would be at war with him in the future would dare to surrender himself in front of the battle.

Jia Xu saw Cao Cao frowning, of course he knew what he was worried about, smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to agree to Li Dao's request, as long as Li Dao has the idea that the lord has agreed to his request, then the big thing can be harmonious." ”

Unconsciously, Jia Xu had changed his title for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes gradually narrowed into a line, and it seemed that he still underestimated the middle-aged man in front of him.
