"Report, Cao Cao's army is less than thirty miles away from Zhongmu and is coming towards us."

This news, for Yuzhou Thorn Shi Guo Gong, is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, he and Cao Cao have always had a bad relationship, but with Zhao Yun has a close friendship, this time Cao Cao raised 100,000 troops to crusade against Zhao Yun, Guo Gong also received a text, in a dilemma, from the bottom of his heart, he did not approve of Cao Cao doing this, and even wanted to help Zhao Yun, but he was small, weak, and Cao Cao, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, it was not enough to plug Cao Cao's teeth, and in desperation, he had to help each other.

Guo Gong didn't want to provoke Cao Cao, it didn't mean that Cao Cao would let him go because of this.

Getting closer and closer to Zhongmu, Cao Cao was in high spirits, his expression was leisurely, and he believed in the reins all the way, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to march.

"My lord, Zhongmu is not far ahead." Mao Jue reminded.

Cao Cao glanced up at the front, smiled faintly, suddenly turned his head to look at Cao Pi, and asked, "Pi'er, do you know how the former Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong died?" ”

Cao Pi thought for a while, "He was killed by Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger." ”

"Why did Sun Jian kill him?"

"For revenge."

Cao Cao shook his head, turned his head and looked at Guo Jia again, Guo Jia has been worried about the affairs of Xuzhou until now, he always feels that Liu Bei is not reliable, let Liu Bei go to Xuzhou to help the car, undoubtedly the tiger returns to the mountain.

"Bong-hyo? What are you thinking? Seeing Guo Jia's sad face and a preoccupied look, Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"Huh?" Guo Jia came back to his senses at this time, "Lord, what did you just say?" ”

"Bonghyo, what are you thinking?"

"Lord, I'm worried about Liu Bei, this person is loyal on the outside, always kind, polite, humble and friendly, but since he came to Xudu, I found that I couldn't see through this person at all, but you let him lead the troops to Xuzhou, which is really reassuring."

Cao Cao smiled, "Fengxiao, you are too worried, I think Liu Bei is very good, he is also honest, and he is relatively low-key and calm, not to mention that his wife and children are still in our hands, Mi Fu and Mi Fang Ke both stayed in Yanzhou, one is Ren Chengxiang, the other is Peng Chengxiang, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang Although they are in important positions, they have no military power in their hands, they want to leave, but it is not so simple, if Liu Bei dares to betray me, his relatives will immediately be in a different place. ”

Since Liu Bei arrived in Xudu, Mi Fang and Mi Zhu were sent by Cao Cao to take foreign appointments, Cao Cao on the one hand wanted to use high-ranking officials Houlu to win over the Mi family brothers, and also for the sake of the family They held in their hands as hostages, this time Liu Bei led troops to Xuzhou, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were still in Yanzhou, so Cao Cao was not very worried that Liu Bei would get out of his control.

Although Cao Cao's statement was very reasonable, Guo Jia was still relieved, beckoned a personal guard, whispered a few words, and the man rode away from the team and galloped away in the direction of Xu Du.

"By the way, Pi'er and I mentioned Sun Jian and Feng Xiao just now, what do you think?"

Guo Jia was so smart, he immediately guessed Cao Cao's intentions, he wanted to kill Guo Gong, just like Sun Jian killed Wang Rong back then.

"Lord, Wang Ei is stubborn and ineffective, and he is innocent of death, when Sun Jian sent troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, Wang Ei as a party to assassinate history, eat the king's lu, and be loyal to the king, he should try his best to help and support Sun Jian, but he made it difficult in every way, even if he didn't send troops, he didn't even give food, which can't be said."

Since following Cao Cao, Guo Jia has repeatedly offered strange schemes. He has a free and easy personality, acts recklessly, admonishes without committing crimes, welcomes but does not flatter, is smart and does not hide the master, and is deeply liked by Cao Cao, and the relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, and it is very intimate.

Don't look at Guo Jia's position as just a military advisor, but his status is not inferior to Xun You, the number one person in charge of the military.

Before Cao Cao seized Yanzhou, he relied most on Xun Yu, Xun Yu was not only in charge of the government, but also in charge of the military, almost everything was pressed on Xun Yu alone, and it was not too much to say that Xun Yu was the indispensable manager of Cao Cao's side; When Cao Cao gained a firm foothold, especially when the Han Emperor 'settled' in Xudu, Cao Cao stripped the right to be in charge of the military from Xun Yu's hands and gave it to Xun Yu.

"What a stubborn one." Cao Cao's heart was happy, and he was worried that he couldn't find a reason to deal with Guo Gong, but Guo Jia gave him a wake-up call.

In fact, what Sun Jian did back then was not authentic, Sun Jian committed the following crimes, and killed his boss by communiquating his personal vendetta on the occasion of sending troops.

But Sun Jian was not only not punished, but became a hero in the eyes of the people, the reason is that he joined the army to fight against Dong, and with this great merit, it was enough to cover up the mistakes he committed.

Wang Rong is good or bad, even if he is a good official and a clean official, at least he did not participate in the fight against Dong, no matter how bad Sun Jian is, if he is the victim, at least he dares to stand up and fight against Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao is also 'Fengtian rebelling' now, and he doesn't dare to tell the truth, at least he has the edict issued by the Han Emperor himself in his hand.

Coming to the outside of Zhongmu City, Guo Gong took people to wait outside the city early, the roadside was full of wine and food, Guo Gong was uneasy, just looking forward to sending this 'plague god' away as soon as possible, who knows, Cao Cao waved his hand, directly ordered people to be stationed in place, and insisted on going into the city to have a look.

Guo Gong was helpless, and accompanied Cao Cao in a low manner, let Cao Cao and his party into the Assassin's Mansion, and put the banquet on the table again, so as to wash the dust for Cao Cao.

The time is not long, the banquet is well prepared, the water and land are complete, there is everything, the animals in the mountains, the geese in the clouds, the cattle and sheep on the land, the fresh under the sea, the flying in the sky, the running on the ground, and the swimming in the water, everything is available.

Cao Cao was very interested, chatting while eating, shouting and asking for warmth, just like chatting with an old friend, and when the food was almost over, Cao Cao's expression suddenly became serious, "Guo Thorn History, the old man is rebellious in Fengtian, where the duty lies, the text sent before, I believe you have seen it, as the so-called, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and there are many soldiers and horses around you, I don't know how many troops you want to send this time?" ”

Guo Gong didn't expect that Cao Cao would turn the problem to this all of a sudden, and he was not prepared at all, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say, after a while, Guo Gong came back to his senses, and hurriedly found a reason to refuse politely, he said that his troops were limited, and he was negligent in training, and those soldiers were useless even if they went to the battlefield.

Cao Cao's face sank immediately, "The country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, you are dignified and a state assassin history, you actually pushed back and repeatedly resigned, do you think that the edict of the Son of Heaven is a child's play, Zhao Yun colluded with foreign races, caused chaos in the Central Plains, the crime cannot be punished, everyone has to be punished, you should not fornicate Zhao Yun behind your back, right?" ”

Fornication with Zhao Yun?

Guo Gong sneered in his heart, Cao Cao really had a sharp mouth, yellow mouth and white teeth, and the white one could also be called black by him.
