When Cao Cao heard the two choices given by Guo Jia, he was immediately silent! Guo Jia didn't urge God to drink tea on the side, and after a while, Cao Cao raised his head and asked, "Feng Xiao, do you think Han Fei is bluffing?" I don't believe that Liu Bei is ready for a decisive battle with me. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "What the lord said is right, then Han Fei is bluffing, but do we really dare to bet?" Cao Cao was speechless, he carefully tasted Guo Jia's words, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, yes, he really didn't dare to bet, he would rather teach the world to bear me than to teach me to bear the world, this is the true portrayal of his Cao Cao. So he obviously felt that Han Fei was bluffing, but Cao Cao would still take it very seriously.

With a sigh of relief, Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia's eyes and said, "Fengxiao, which strategy do you think I should choose?" ”

Guo Jia put down the teacup and looked at Cao Cao, and replied with a straight face: "Lord, Jia is just a strategist, and he is always a strategist. As for how to decide, it is the Lord's business! Cao Cao nodded approvingly, and then said, "Let me think about it for a night!" Tomorrow I will give you a clear answer! Guo Jia listened to it and then got up to say goodbye, out of the house couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat on his forehead, although Cao Cao's question just now was not much, but Guo Jia actually heard the smell of killing from it, so he hurriedly opened his mouth Mingzhi, he was really afraid that Cao Cao would attack him, and he was so shocked that his vest was soaked with cold sweat. Through today's conversation, he felt that Cao Cao's mind was getting deeper and deeper, and he was developing towards the realm of being alone, maybe he had already begun to aim for that position! Therefore, Guo Jia warned himself that in the future, he must remember not to figure out Cao Cao's intentions at will, let alone make decisions for Cao Cao without authorization, otherwise he is likely to worry about his life!

There was nothing to say all night, but the lights in Cao Cao's room never went out. At very high in the morning, Cao Cao was pretending to sleep, at this time, a guard heard the silence in the house and came into the house to check, and saw Cao Cao sleeping at the desk, so he turned off the lights and took a cloak and wanted to drape Cao Cao on his body. Just as he came to Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao suddenly rose up and withdrew the Heavenly Sword he was carrying, stabbing the guard to death on the spot with one sword. After the killing, Cao Cao threw away his sword, and then fell asleep at the desk again! At this time, the guards outside the tent heard the movement and rushed in, only to see the body that had fallen to the ground and a bloody sword beside him. And Cao Cao was still sleeping at his desk, and snoring was heard from time to time.

The guards looked at each other, and some people thought that the lord Cao Cao had fallen into evil, so they hurriedly invited Guo Jia to ask. Guo Jia still knew it in his heart when he heard it, but he pretended not to know: "You don't need to panic, just keep the room." Everything is decided when the Lord wakes up. "All the relatives and guards should be at the moment, all guarding outside the room and waiting for Cao Cao to wake up. About half an hour later, Cao Cao woke up from his "sleep". When he saw a dead body on the ground, he hurriedly called someone in to inquire about it.

A guard replied, "This man was killed in the sleep of the lord!" Cao Cao then said bitterly: "Woohoo! Alas! I will kill people in my sleep, and I must remember not to come within three feet of me in my sleep, otherwise I will kill again! After speaking, he wiped his tears and ordered someone to bury him. Since then, when Cao Cao was sleeping, no one dared to approach him. Because everyone is afraid of being killed by Cao Cao in his dream!

Maybe it was because he killed someone in his dream and wiped out all the anger on his body, and when Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia again, Guo Jia could clearly feel that something was different on Cao Cao's body. When Cao Cao saw Guo Jia coming, he said: "Fengxiao, I thought about it for a long time last night and finally decided to use the first strategy!" And regardless of whether Han Fei is bluffing or not, it's better not to fight Liu Bei before I am sure of defeating him! ”

Guo Jia immediately responded: "The lord is wise! Is the lord ready to give up this giant deer city? ”

"Humph!" Cao Cao heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "Since I can't get Julu City, there is no need to keep it!" After my army withdrew, I was going to set fire to the city, and I wanted to see how Han Fei would feel when he saw the scorched earth of Julu City. "Cao Cao's thoughts Guo Jia can understand very well, don't think about what I can't get. However, this practice does hurt Tianhe, Guo Jiagang wanted to open his mouth to admonish, but he couldn't help but stop when he thought about it. So he spoke: "My lord, I think it's better for you to take the first step, as for this matter of setting fire to the city, you can leave it to others to handle it!" ”

"Oh! Is there a recommended candidate for Fengxiao? Cao Cao asked when he heard this.

"Lord, I think Sima Zhongda is very suitable." Guo Jia smiled and said. Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, Zhongda is indeed a suitable candidate, but he is probably not right alone, and he needs to be equipped with a general." By the way, let that Bian Xi and Han Fu set fire with him! "The two people Cao Cao said are both newcomers, and this time it can be regarded as their name. Although it will leave infamy if it is done well, it will be appreciated by Cao Cao. If it is not done well, then it is impossible to say that Cao Cao will consider one or two when employing people in the future!

After arranging the people, Cao Cao began to discuss with Guo Jia about the withdrawal of troops. Three days later, Cao Cao raised his army and went straight to Handan City to kill. Gao Lan, who had already captured Handan, fled when he heard the news, and fled out of the city with his men and horses early, but before leaving, they not only emptied Handan's treasury, but also gave all the grain that could not be taken away to the people in the city. This trick is very vicious, if Cao Cao comes to forcibly requisition food, it will definitely anger the dissatisfaction of the people in Handan City. But if he doesn't levy food, the food of the army will be a problem.

Here, Gao Ran returned from Handan City with a full load, but on the other hand, Han Fei was about to scold his mother! The reason was that Cao Cao actually ordered the burning of the city after the withdrawal of the army, and for fear of leaking the news, the people in the city were not evacuated at all, and in the face of the crying and shouting, Han Fei had to order the fire! Thus giving up the preparation to catch up with Cao's army. With the addition of Liu Beijun, the fires in the city were somewhat controlled, and the fires around the Taishou Mansion were the first to be extinguished. Bao Yan, the Taishou of Julu City, sat on the stone steps in front of the Taishou Mansion with a sluggish face at the moment, as if he was dead.

Han Fei came to Bao Yan and squatted down and asked, "Bao Taishou, why don't you run away with Cao Cao?" Why are you so embarrassed to stay here? See what sins have all the people of this city suffered because of your thoughts? After asking three questions in a row, Bao Yan's face turned even paler, and he said to Han Fei: "It's all my fault, you kill me!" After speaking, close your eyes and prepare to die!

"Good! Since Bao Taishou begs for death! Then I will fulfill you! Knives are coming! Han Fei shouted. Immediately, a guard handed over a steel knife. Han Fei took the steel knife and immediately put it on Bao Yan's neck.
