Xuchang, Caofu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As Cao Cao pacified Xuzhou and Yuzhou successively, and occupied the most prosperous areas of the Central Plains, the prestige of the imperial court was gradually established, accompanied by Cao Cao's prestige becoming more and more prominent.

Xun You and Cheng Yu entered the Cao Mansion side by side.

"Two gentlemen, the lord has been waiting for a long time." At the door, Xu Chu, who had been waiting here, stepped forward and saluted the two.

Cheng Yu and Xun You nodded, their faces were a little dignified, with the unification of the Central Plains, Yuan Shao in the north has also swept away the troubles, and in the recent period, they have continued to increase troops in the Guandu and Baima areas, and the atmosphere of the big war has been shrouded, but at the moment Cao Cao is not ready to fight.

According to the predictions of Cao Cao and his strategists, if this battle is postponed for another three years, after Cao Cao calms down the rear, he can fight with Yuan Shao with all his might, and the chances of victory are quite large, but Yuan Shao obviously also saw the key and was not ready to give them three years.

Time waits for no man!

At this moment, the mood of the two of them was a little heavy, and after nodding to Xu Chu, they hurriedly walked to the conference hall.

In the conference hall, Cao Cao's face was a little relaxed, and at the left side of his hand, Guo Jia sat on the mat with drunken eyes, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he raised his glass to the two.

This guy!

Xun You and Cheng Yu shook their heads helplessly when they saw Guo Jia in such a form, not strange, it was not strange that Guo Jia, a drunkard, had arrived before the two of them, because this product was now licking his face and taking his family to eat in Cao's Mansion, I heard that a few days ago, this product had already sold the mansion that Cao Cao gave him.

It stands to reason that as one of the most important masterminds under Cao Cao, Cao Cao is not good to Guo Jia, aside from Yu Lu, Cao Cao's rewards from time to time are enough for Guo Jia's carefree family to live a few lifetimes, Guo Jia should not have been so desolate, he actually sold his house and came to Cao's Mansion to eat and drink, and it is impossible for him to be so cheeky as any subordinate, but even Cao Cao is quite helpless for Guo Jia, because compared to Guo Jia's daily consumption, that little bit of money plus Cao Cao's help from time to time is not enough for Guo Jia to squander.

As long as this guy has money, no matter how much, he has the ability to spend it in one day, even if he is the biggest gentleman in Xuchang City, seeing Guo Jia's level of loser, he has to bow down, Xun You and Cheng Yu are not counted, Cao Cao's subordinate martial arts, and now they are basically Guo Jia's creditors. It's weird.

"My lord." After the two of them saluted Cao Cao, they each found a place to sit down at Cao Cao's signal.

"Don't be busy asking yet, look at this, this is probably the best news in this time." Cao Cao handed a bamboo note to the waiter to the two of them to circulate and smiled.

The two of them were surprised when they heard this, there was basically no good news during this time, some time ago there was news that Hanoi was too guarded to vote for Yuan Shao, fortunately, there was no timely response here, Miao Shang over there had been destroyed by Lu Bu, but unfortunately, together with hundreds of thousands of people in Hanoi, they were also robbed by Lu Bu, and then most of the people received were ready to move, and Yuan Shao frequently transferred troops in the Yellow River area.

Although Cao Cao occupies the rich land of the Central Plains, the population is the largest among the princes in the world, if there are three more years, it is enough to gather a million male divisions and sweep the world, but it is also the same, surrounded by the ground, Liu Biao Lu Bu in the west, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong in the east, none of them can be relieved, and the Central Plains is also in danger to defend, Yuan Shao can now fight Cao Cao with all his strength, but Cao Cao must take care of the Quartet, which is also a reason why Cao Cao does not want to face Yuan Shao now, and now Cao Cao can take too few people and horses in his hands, It's not even a fraction of Yuan Shao's.

There are not many things recorded on the bamboo note, but it is enough to shock the two, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was assassinated by Xu Gong's doormen while inspecting a few days ago and died!

"My lord, have you ever confirmed this?" Xun Yu asked cautiously.

If you want to ask Cao Cao who has the most headache besides Yuan Shao now? It's not Liu Biao in Jingzhou, nor is it Lu Bu, who has made a lot of noise recently.

Liu Biao is old, he has no enterprising heart, and thanks to Lu Bu, the entire Nanyang was emptied, and invisibly, a separation belt was opened between Liu Biao and Cao Cao, Liu Biao was busy responding to the invitation of the Nanyang family to immigrate to Nanyang, and at the same time in order to occupy Nanyang, not to mention, Liu Biao also had to worry about Jiangdong's attack, these two things alone were enough to consume most of Liu Biao's energy, making him powerless to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains.

As for Lu Bu, he just arrived in Chang'an, and now Xiliang is not very peaceful, Han Sui killed Ma Teng and occupied the land of Xiliang, Lu Bu is probably having a headache how to fight Han Sui, and it is impossible to spare the energy to come here to make waves, but it is this little overlord in Jiangdong who gives Cao Cao the most headache.

Although Sun Ce is a newly rising prince, he is tough enough, and he has enough personality charm, and he has gathered a lot of capable people, and there are Yangtze River moats, no worries, and Sun Ce has a strong aggressiveness, which is even more than the original Lu Bu, if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao go to war, Cao Cao and all the strategists under his command are almost 100% sure that Sun Ce will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack.

Now, Sun Ce died inexplicably, and Cao Cao was so sure, the two of them invariably looked at Guo Jia, if memory serves, not long ago, Guo Jia had said that Sun Ce was light and unprepared, although there were 100,000 male soldiers, but it was tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains, and he would die at the hands of the horseman one day.

Unexpectedly, this sentence was fulfilled so quickly, and more importantly, what kind of Xu Gongmen guest was the person who killed Sun Ce? It is okay to deceive the poor, but it is not so easy to deceive them.

Xu Gong is the former Wu County Taishou, when Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu, defeated Liu Xuan, his power rose sharply, and he took the opportunity to capture Wu County, Xu Gong was defeated, and took refuge in Yan Baihu, and then Yan Baihu was defeated, and defected to Xu Zhao, Sun Ce did not pursue it again, not to mention the desperate Xu Gong, where did this ability come from, that Sun Ce is not a weak scholar, the people invited by Xu Gong, it is difficult to say whether they can get close, let alone kill Sun Ce.

"Don't look at me, Jia intended to assassinate Sun Ce, but he failed twice, but this time he was able to successfully assassinate Sun Ce, but someone else helped him." Guo Jia put down the wine glass in his hand, and when he saw the completely distrustful eyes of the two, he shrugged his shoulders innocently: "Jia's role in it is just to take advantage of the trend, make suggestions, and add fuel to the fire." ”

"Oh?"

Facing Xun You and Cheng Yu's obviously unbelieving eyes, Guo Jia was a little sad, and sighed leisurely: "The most ruthless emperor's family, sometimes, such a thing as power is very tempting, which can make father and son turn against each other and kill each other." ”

"Hiss~"

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, looked at Guo Jia in disbelief, and said in unison: "Sun Zhongmou!?" ”

Guo Jia sneered and nodded: "I didn't expect this son to be so vicious, and the depth of the city is far ten times better than Sun Ce." ”

Cheng Yu sneered: "But when it comes to threats, Sun Ce is a hundred times higher than him, and since then, Jiangdong has no worries!" What a happy event! ”
