"Cao Cao...... Cao Gong, he really meant that. Li Dao's expression was uncertain, as if he was struggling in his heart.

Jia Xu sighed secretly, this Li Wei really can't support the wall, since he decided to surrender, he still can't pull his face and call the other party's lord, but call him Cao Gong. This person is so narrow-minded, but he has no great talent, he deserves to be used as an outcast.

In fact, when Li Wei asked Jia Xu about the results of his surrender, Jia Xu only said one sentence to Li Wei: "Duke Cao wants to wave his troops to attack Zhang Jibu tomorrow, but he doesn't expect the lord to lead the army to help him, but only hopes that the lord will be able to watch from the wall at that time." ”

This sentence is very level, and it sounds like an order given by the boss to his subordinates after Cao Cao allowed Li Dao to surrender, so Li Dao also subconsciously thought that Cao Cao had agreed to his request to surrender. But in reality, Cao Cao did not make any promises of surrender at all.

Therefore, Li Dao is inevitably tragic.

Li Ji was hesitating, he and Zhang Ji used to be generals under Dong Zhuo, and although the friendship between them was not very deep, it was not shallow. Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses are not many, only 10,000 or a few thousand, if Cao Cao's nearly 50,000 army wants to destroy it, if it is not easy, at least it is easy. Should I really be watching from the sidelines and not helping in any way?

"Wen He thinks that I should follow Cao Gong's instructions." Li Wei looked at Jia Xu and wanted to hear his opinion again.

"Yes." Jia Xu didn't raise his head and said bluntly.

Li Wei didn't expect Jia Xu to answer so simply, and judging from his tone, his attitude towards himself now can even be said to be a little casual. Li Dao felt quite dissatisfied with this, wouldn't he recognize Cao Cao as the master in the future, and he would not be treated well so soon?

Of course, Li Dao also knew that since he had chosen to submit to Cao Cao, he should not have other ideas. However, perhaps out of instinct, Li Dao always felt that this matter was not as simple as what he saw so far, and there was always an uneasy feeling lingering in his heart, lingering.

"Perhaps, you should send someone to inform Zhang Ji, which can be regarded as doing your best. What do you think of this? "It will definitely not work to send troops to help Zhang Ji resist Cao Cao, so whether to warn the other party in advance and let him retreat or escape first, this will probably not be a problem. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Ji and Cao Cao had a feud for killing their nephews, Li Ji would even think about sending someone to Zhang Ji's camp to persuade the other party to surrender with him. After all, he doesn't have any acquaintances in Cao Ying, so it's good to have one more person to take care of each other.

"Former general, Marquis Chiyang." Faced with Li Dao's questioning, Jia Xu just spit out these six words from his mouth.

Hearing these two terms, Li Dao was immediately deflated. Jia Xu is obviously advising himself that if he wants to keep the official title he wants, then don't meddle in his affairs.

"However, if the lord is interested, he is willing to go to General Zhang Ji's camp, state his interests, and persuade him to surrender." Just when Li Wei felt a little disheartened, Jia Xu spoke again, "If you can say that you are obedient, then Cao Gong's side must also be overjoyed." ”

"Can Wen He really convince Zhang Ji to surrender to Duke Cao?" Li Wei, who felt a little disappointed before, immediately lifted his spirits again when he heard Jia Xu's words.

"I'm willing to try." Jia Xu said in an extremely confident tone, which made Li Wei feel relieved.

————————————————————————————————

"Li Dao, is it really so hateful!?" Zhang Ji gritted his teeth at this time, obviously hating it to the extreme.

However, there was still a trace of doubt in his resentful face, obviously not believing Jia Xu's words.

"What you say is true." Jia Xu said calmly.

"Y-What proof do you have?" Zhang Ji thought about it, but he still felt that what Jia Xu said to him didn't seem to be very reliable.

"It's okay if the general doesn't believe it now, when Cao Cao's army comes, he can wait for his own death." Jia Xu's tone was extremely stable, and there was no trace of turbulence at all.

Facing such a calm Jia Xu, Zhang Ji panicked, and his mind couldn't help but be a little messy.

Jia Xu suddenly ran over and said to himself that Cao Cao was going to wave his army to fight him tomorrow. In this situation, his ally Li Dao abandoned himself again, and in order to save his power and life, he chose to surrender to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao attacked, Li Wei sat back and ignored it, and maybe he would intervene and help Cao Cao clean himself up.

Hearing such bad news, how could Zhang Ji not feel flustered. The combined forces of Cao Cao and Li Wei were as many as 100,000 troops, and if they came together to deal with them, with only the 10,000 thousands of people under their command, they might not be able to make even a little wave on the battlefield. In that case, where will I have a way to live tomorrow?

"If General Zhang doesn't believe it, why don't you go and ask my lord for confirmation in person?"

"Verify? Are you stupid to me? Zhang Ji said with a hesitant expression at this time, "If Li Zhiran has the idea of throwing himself into Cao, and I go to see him at this time, wouldn't it be in vain to give him the head of Xiang Shang's head to be chopped?" ”

"Why should the general worry a lot, and listen to the blame for the general's plan." Seeing Zhang Ji's panicked expression, Jia Xu smiled and said, "If the general wants to see my lord, he must maintain a relaxed demeanor. If our lord wants to kill the general, the general will lie to my lord that he has already surrendered. ”

Zhang Ji listened to Jia Xu's words, and the uneasiness in his heart subsided slightly. But later, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stared at Jia Xu and asked, "You are a minister under Li Wei, why did you tell me what he was plotting for?" ”

In fact, Zhang Ji's attitude towards Jia Xu has not been friendly recently, and the reason is his nephew Zhang Xiu. At first, there was still some friendship between Zhang Ji and Jia Xu, but when Dong Zhuoxi fled to Chang'an, Zhang Ji followed Jia Xu's advice and asked his nephew Zhang Xiu to follow Xu Rong to ambush the pursuers in order to establish meritorious service. Poor Zhang Xiu not only failed to achieve an inch in that battle, but was finally killed by Cao Cao's fierce generals and died tragically on the battlefield. Because this result is very different from Jia Xu's previous analysis of himself, Zhang Ji believes that his nephew died unexpectedly, and Jia Xu is also responsible. So since then, Zhang Ji has always had a problem with Jia Xu in his heart. And it was precisely after this battle that Jia Xu had to begin to face up to Cao Cao and his people.

Staring at Jia Xu, Zhang Ji thought of the nephew who died on the battlefield because he followed Jia Xu's advice, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Looking at Zhang Ji's reddish eyes, Jia Xu didn't have a trace of nervousness, and said unhurriedly: "It's purely because I can't get used to what my lord does, so I'm here to greet you." If General Zhang believes it, please prepare as early as possible, so as not to become a fish on other people's boards. If General Zhang doesn't believe me, he can tie me up and send me back, so that my lord can send me down. If General Zhang thinks that this is too troublesome, it is okay to kill me with that sword. ”

Zhang Ji stared at Jia Xu for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go see Li Zhiran and see what tricks he can do!" ”
