The brief debate between the idiot and several of Cao Cao's advisors came to an end. And Zhao Yue glanced at Cao Cao from time to time, thinking that he would be eager to propose the delivery of Wancheng to himself, but what Zhao Yue didn't expect was that after he revealed that he could hand over Wancheng, Cao Cao didn't mention it directly, as if waiting for Zhao Yue to speak first.

Zhao Yue looked at Cao Cao's cunning appearance, and secretly complained in her heart.

He couldn't show that he couldn't wait to give up Wancheng's intentions, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make any other demands. But Zhao Yue saw what Cao Cao meant, just sat on the spot and observed the wine glass on the table, as if he didn't care about this matter.

The entire hall fell into a lifeless silence, and many people felt embarrassed, only the idiot sat upright and faced everything peacefully. He wished that the matter of giving up Wancheng would come to naught, so that Zhao Yue's power could extend to the northern part of Jingzhou and continue to grow bigger and stronger.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly spoke, but he still didn't mention Wancheng, "Changjiao, I see that this general under your command is born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, extremely powerful, and I feel familiar, I don't know who it is?" ”

Zhao Yue looked at the person Cao Cao said and found that he was referring to Wang Qian, so he hurriedly explained: "Ah, Meng De doesn't know, this person is a fierce general I found in Xiliang, because he was born poor and did not have a name, so I gave him the name of Wang Qian, the general of the previous dynasty. As for what you said is familiar, don't hide it from Meng De, I also think that he is somewhat similar to Hua Xiong, who fought against Sun Jian in the Tiger Prison in the past. ”

"Oh, I see." Cao Cao squinted his eyes slightly and smiled, and secretly said that Zhao Yue had no silver three hundred taels here, but he was not ready to break it, because Zhao Yue's forces were currently beneficial to him and harmless, and there was no need for him to do such a meaningless thing. On the contrary, you can help a group of people, so that the former Huaxiong can completely dissociate himself from the incompetent Dong Zhuo, "Changjiao, when you say this, I really think that General Wang Jian and that Huaxiong are a little similar!" ”

"Exactly, the minister thinks so too." Guo Jia bowed slightly in the seat next to him.

Cao Cao and his advisor looked at each other. Smiled tacitly. Cao Cao laughed thanks to Guo Fengxiao's fact that when he was about to fight, he told him that Zhao Yue might not have the original heart, so he was not in a hurry to ask for the city at the moment; And Guo Jia's laughter is because his judgment is accurate and he is not wrong.

After all, Cao Cao and his advisers are not vegetarians, as early as when Zhao Yue sent troops to help Cao Cao instead of helping Yuan Shu, Guo Jia saw that Zhao Yue's intention to send troops this time was to win people's hearts, otherwise, why should only 2,000 men and horses mix in a war that has nothing to do with him?

And the premise of winning people's hearts is that the person who is being collected has no conflict of interest with himself, and Zhao Yue found Cao Cao. proved that he would not fight the Central Plains in a short period of time, otherwise, he would definitely not help Cao Cao, who blocked his eastward march to the Central Plains.

After learning that Zhao Yue's background was a descendant of the royal family of the Qin State in the previous dynasty, Guo Jia once again confirmed his opinion.

Come to think of it, no matter how strong Zhao Yue's background is, at least he is from a flat-headed ordinary person in this life, and he has just come out of the house, and he has not really experienced the changes in the world. I haven't felt the customs of all parts of the world. Therefore, Guo Jia expected that Zhao Yue's obsession with the world would not be the world, at least not now.

As for what exactly. Guo Jia's guess in his heart was that it should be the hometown of the pre-Qin Dynasty in a corner of peace, which made sense from the perspective of Zhao Yue's position and the strategic choice of marching operations.

Cao Cao was not a scheming person, although he may have considered it a little later than Guo Jia, but at this time he had already sensed something from the attitude that Zhao Yue showed when he first entered the city.

He knew what Zhao Yue meant. He was also ready to accept Zhao Yue's harsh conditions; And the reason why he did this was because he accepted in his heart that this smart enough, but somewhat naïve lord of the emerging forces, Zhao Yue.

Cao Cao decided to treat this man to his west as an ally.

The Central Plains is also a place of great chaos, so why not have such a person act as a barrier to the west? Even if he Zhao Changjiao unified the West. And he, Cao Mengde, can't unify the Central Plains?

At that time, no matter what the situation in the world is, the population of the Central Plains and even the density of counties and counties will be several times that of remote mountainous areas such as Xiliang Shudi.

In the extremely luxurious Wancheng Palace, it is comparable to the splendor of the palace, but Zhao Yue is not nostalgic.

It cannot be denied that he has indeed grown from a simple boy to the current young master of Great Qin, and he also has some wisdom, but at present, he cannot be compared with the resourceful Guo Jia, let alone the same day as the cunning and treacherous Cao Cao.

It will take him a long time to digest what he has learned.

After a long awkward silence, Zhao Yue finally spoke, "Meng De, how do you see that this Wancheng is governed by Yuan Shu?" ”

Cao Cao smiled heartily, since Zhao Yue had already made such a concession, he was ready to give a few thin noodles and let go of this child who had just come out of the mountain, "Well, Yuan Highway has no way, and he has governed Wancheng like this, there is no money and food in the warehouses in the city, and the people are also displaced, and they take their families with them, it is really a miserable scene!" ”

When Zhao Yue heard this, she couldn't help but snicker in her heart: there was no money and food in the warehouse, so he scattered it to gather people's hearts; And there were no people in the city, so he used the hearts of the people he had just gathered to transfer the people to Luoyang. The reason why he dared to do this, without worrying about Cao Cao's accountability, was because Yuan Shu was extremely poor and luxurious in Japan, and he didn't know how to save it.

In this way, out of common sense, all the uninformed people in the world will think that all this is the result of Yuan Shu's evil cause, and they will never suspect him.

Cao Cao never expected that Zhao Yue, whom he underestimated, actually left a brush.

These two nominal allies, in fact exploiting each other, each won in this covert confrontation. Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's strategic analysis, guessed Zhao Yue's strategic intentions, and won in strategy; Zhao Yue used his ingenuity to almost empty Wancheng and other cities in Nanyang County, Jingbei, so that even if Cao Cao won the city, it was only an empty city, and Cao Cao also mistakenly thought that Yuan Shu did it, which was Zhao Yue's victory in strategy and tactics.

"Mengde, what you said is right...... It's a pity that I want to make a good life and govern here, so that this place can become a home for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, just like Luoyang, but I can't do anything. ”

Zhao Yue glanced at Cao Cao with a sad face, and the idiot who was sitting below raised his pale head slightly, and glanced at Zhao Yue secretly, feeling that this was like a pretend...... Thinking of Zhao Yue's ignorant appearance when she first went to Songshan, she couldn't help but smile softly.

Cao Cao pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh? Where did Chang Jiao say this? ”

While asking, Cao Cao moved his slightly chubby figure, and even stretched out his hand to stroke his short beard, two thick black eyebrows skimmed, it really looked like that.

Zhao Yue sighed, crossed her fingers and said: "Meng De, you don't know, Zhao Yue's soldiers are only 2,000, and the people of Luoyang are only tens of thousands. So...... Yuan Shu's territory in the Jingbei area, and he also hoped that Meng De would work hard to take over the governance. ”

Cao Cao slapped his head, as if he had suddenly realized, and kept saying in his mouth: "Ah, yes, so it is, so it is, since this is the case, it is really not easy to grow bright." But this time it was not me who captured Wancheng, but Changjiao, how dare I go beyond my bounds and rashly accept this city? What did this make General Wang Jian and the Mengzi military division think, and how did this make the soldiers under Chang Jiao feel? ”

Zhao Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart Since Cao Cao was polite, then he was not polite, so he pretended to be reluctant, and said: "Indeed, Zhao Yue has just started an incident, and the morale of his subordinates is still unstable, once this happens, I am afraid it will cause criticism; It's better to ......"
