The one hundred and eightieth episode of Cao Cao's plan
"My lord! This is Xun Gang's strategy, and we must not be fooled! ”
As soon as Guo Jia left, the entire conference hall instantly became lively, especially Cheng Yu's tone was the most intense. www.biquge.info With his talent, he can completely see what tricks Xun Gang has, but he just can't tell what Xun Gang is for.
If it was for the sake of turf, then why did he come here to talk to himself? If it is said that it is for Cao Cao's resources, then the loss of troops will be greater?
Seeing Cheng Yu's tough attitude, Cao Cao reassured him and said, "Why is Zhongde so impatient? We need to discuss what Xun Gang is for. ”
Cheng Yu was silent, and his subordinate Cao Hong said: "My lord, after thinking about it, I really can't think of any conspiracy at all; Since Xun Gang intends to help us kill the Yellow Turban Thief, why don't you accept his kindness? 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves are too large for us, and we have nearly a million family members; Even if I want to eat, how long will I eat? ”
Cao Ren on the side also said: "What Zilian said is very true, since he intends to help us and others, why not put away his kindness?" ”
Cheng Yu immediately refuted: "The vision of the two generals is too narrow, Xun Gang and us have been allied but have always suffered losses, how can they grant favors for no reason now?" Now that Chen Liu is in the hands of Xun Gang, if he gives him favors again, we will definitely be constrained by him in the future! ”
Cao Ren and Cao Hong stopped talking, and Cheng Yu's argument was indeed above them, so that they had no way to refute it.
Cao Cao looked around, and there were different opinions in the hall, some said to accept it, some said to refuse, and there was no consensus. But what made Cao Cao more concerned was that Xiahou Xuan, his closest confidant, had been muttering on the sidelines, looking thoughtful.
"Yuan Rang, what are you thinking?" Cao Cao got up and asked.
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and then came out and said: "My lord, what both sides in the hall said makes sense, why don't you invite the previous person to ask carefully?" If this person leaks a little, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort? ”
As soon as Xiahoudun said this, Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "General Yuan Rang thinks too simply, I have also heard of this Guo Fengxiao, and he is not such an easy person to deal with." ”
Cao Cao sighed lightly: "You actually know this person, it seems that it is really not simple!" Zhongde, hurry up and talk to us! ”
Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "This person's name is Guo Jia, he is a person from Yingchuan Yangzhai, his ancestors are famous, and his royal father's generation is gradually declining, but he can still get acquainted with many famous nobles, and he has a very good relationship with Xun Yu of the Xun family." At the beginning, he had taken refuge in Yuan Benchu and was treated with courtesy, and now he is taking refuge in the Xun family, which is not small. This person is good at using soldiers, eloquence, formations, etc., and makes treacherous moves, which are unguardable; If you want to get any news from him, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
"Zhongde knows so many things!"
Cao Cao was a little surprised, and only after hearing him say this did he realize that Xun Gang's subordinates were really capable of producing people; There are not only bears and tigers, but also commendable strategists, what a lucky person!
But Cao Cao looked at the person named Guo Jia before, and for some reason felt more cordial in his heart; He always felt that he and he should have a lot of common topics: "Zhongde, don't worry, this person will be left to me to meet for a while." I want to see how capable this military advisor is of sacrificial wine! ”
………………………………
As a result, this meeting did not discuss anything, but for Cao Cao, the next thing is the most important.
Under the guidance of his subordinates, Cao Cao found the building where Guo Jia stayed; The scenery of the building is pleasant, there is a courtyard, pavilions, pavilions, and lakes to wander, in which Guo Jia is playing alone. Suddenly, seeing Cao Cao's arrival, he hurriedly got up and said, "I don't know that Cao Fujun is coming, and I have missed the distance, and I am guilty of sin!" ”
Cao ** Lang smiled and said: "It's okay, your Excellency is the envoy of Uncle Xun Fang, and there is no difference between you and me, so you don't have to be so restrained." After that, Cao Cao walked straight to the place where Guo Jia was sitting, and was shocked: "Guo Junshi is still so elegant, Meng De has a little knowledge of Go, and I hope Guo Junshi can give advice!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
The two sat opposite each other, looking respectful and sincere. There are many differences between the rules of Go in the Han Dynasty and the current rules: for example, the white son goes first, and the grid has seventeen columns; Even the chess pieces are squares made of wood.
Cao Cao took Baizi first, and Guo Jia went back and forth, fighting for more than 20 rounds, but did not get the advantage. Perhaps gradually immersed in the world of Go, the two of them were extremely harmonious and did not speak. There is no business, no strife, only the passing sound of the waves and the crisp chirping of birds.
When he reached the fifty-eighth hand, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he was not here to play chess, but to work! But at this time, is it too abrupt to talk about business and arouse suspicion?
Cao Cao coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "How many springs and autumns has Master Guo served Uncle Xun Fang?" ”
Guo Jia actually expected Cao Cao's intention, but he didn't know why he didn't open his mouth all the time, and he was awkward and panicked when he sat all the time. Now that Cao Cao finally spoke, Guo Jia's hanging heart was also relaxed.
"Since the lord has not left the mountain, I have served him for three spring and autumn."
Cao Cao nodded, and left a son: "Xun Fangbo is a powerful person, he was famous all over the world at the age of three, and he was appointed as the Marquis of Yuzhou at the age of four; Now he is only six years old, and he has taken care of Yuzhou very properly, and he can even defeat Sun Jian, which is admirable! ”
Guo Jia knew that he was tempting, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to "leak" some information to Cao Cao, so he deliberately showed his heart: "The lord mansion is kind-hearted, and he is kind and powerful to the people of Yuzhou. Even the first battle in Xingyang...... The lord didn't mean to blame Cao Fujun! ”
As soon as the battle of Xingyang came out, Guo Jia could clearly feel a slight embarrassment in the atmosphere, and this embarrassment obviously came from Cao Cao. Guo Jia smiled faintly, and said again: "Don't hide it, Cao Fujun picked up the advantage of Yuan Shu's war at the beginning, my lord was really angry, I didn't expect Zunjia to do such a thing again." But it didn't take long for the lord to put the matter aside. I heard that Cao Fujun Yanzhou was in trouble, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was beheaded in battle, and my lord was worried that Your Excellency would lose, so he specially sent him down. ”
Cao Cao never expected that before he could say a few words, he was confused by Guo Jia's big words. Guo Jia is really not a mortal, even Cao Cao can be bluffed by his words.
But Cao Cao should not be underestimated, although he can't tell the truth of what Guo Jia said, but with what Cheng Yu said before, this person must be difficult to deal with. Let's just assume that he is half true and half false!
"Xun Fang Borende, Meng De is ashamed! If it weren't for Uncle Fang's help this time, I was afraid that most of Yanzhou would have been snatched away by Yuan Shu's gang. Cao Cao really had no intention of playing chess, so he pretended to be ashamed and put the chess pieces back in the chess basket, "It's no exaggeration, without Xun Fangbo, there is no Cao Mengde today!" It's just that Fang Bo is so active in sending troops this time, I'm afraid there is another purpose......"
Cao Cao's fruit is not simple...... Guo Jia couldn't help but think a little higher about this opponent in his heart: "My lord really can't bear the suffering of the people of Yanzhou, and I hope that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can be relieved and returned to the field, and be an ordinary person, so as not to have another incident in the future!" If there is chaos today, it is still the common people who suffer; If it were because of me and others, so many leaders died one by one, wouldn't they be sinners for the ages? ”
What Guo Jia said was almost completely true, but he concealed an important point - Xun Gang wanted population.
When Cao Cao heard this, his fingers tapped on the chessboard, thinking. He could hear that what Guo Jia said was basically true; If so, Xun Gang helped himself, just because of morality?
Is there such a perfect person in the world?
Cao Cao didn't dare to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it; Because in this case, Xun Gang is standing on his head. He is as proud as he is, and no one is allowed to step on his head; Just like now, although he is subordinate to Yuan Shao, he is absolutely unwilling to submit to Yuan Shao.
"When you're here...... I'll see what you have in your arsenal! ”
At this point, Cao Cao has no reason to refuse, not to mention that he is indeed a little weak: "Tell Xun Fangbo on my behalf and say that I, Cao Mengde, thank him!" ”
Guo Jia's eyes changed, and he said this, the plan seemed to be successful.
But why...... Why can't I be happy?
