Chapter 90: Night Talk
Chen Xun and the others only brought 4,000 soldiers and horses when they went, but when they returned, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Cao Cao had long known the intelligence, and in order to show his attention, he took Guo Jia out of the camp to greet him. This made Xu Huang very moved.
Xu Huang was worshiped as General Zhaoyi, and together with Wang Shuang, he commanded his old troops, and even those troops of the Xiliang Army who had just returned to Shun were lost to Xu Huang by Cao Cao. This is a general with real power, unlike those generals who only have a false name but no soldiers and horses of their own.
"The lord can't, how can Xu Huang command such a huge team without merit in the army." Cao Cao gave Xu Huang about 6,000 soldiers and horses, which made Xu Huang a little flattered and hurriedly excused himself.
"I've heard about Gongming's talent a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that you just surrendered, I would have wanted to give you more troops and horses." Cao Cao made a big deal of affection for Xu Huang, but he didn't mention Guo Huai. It seems that Guo Huai has not appeared.
"Boji, at the banquet, Cao Gong didn't say a word to you, your plan to discord failed, but Cao Gong is so unpredictable, maybe he has become jealous of me, maybe he is really magnanimous and truly believes me, he is always so unpredictable, but this is also one of the important reasons why I am willing to work for him." Chen Xun is in front, Guo Huai is behind, Chen Xun said with a smile.
"I originally thought that after Cao Gong heard that I only wanted to return to the general, he would be jealous of the general, and then revoke the general's military power, which has achieved my goal of separation, and it can be regarded as a reward for General Guo Yan's promotion of me. But now it seems that no matter what Cao Gong thinks in his heart, he is still a master. ”
Chen Xun quipped: "Boji regrets it, why don't I go to intercede with Cao Gong now and fight for a position for Boji that is not inferior to Xu Huang?" ”
Guo Huai's face turned straight and said: "Since I promised to become a subordinate of the general, then I will never betray, and An Neng will switch to others again." ”
Chen Xun nodded with a smile and said, "Boji is loyal, to fight with my general Gao Shunyou." ”
"General, please don't compare me with Gao Shun, I, Guo Huai, am definitely not someone who switched to others for the sake of the title."
"How does Boji think that General Gao switched to Cao Cao like that." Chen Xun snorted and said with a smile.
As soon as Chen Xun returned to his camp, someone invited Chen Xun to meet him in Cao Cao's camp.
Chen Xun came to Cao Cao's tent, only to see Cao Cao looking at the documents sent by Yanzhou, and Guo Jia was standing behind Cao Cao.
Looking at such a pair, Chen Xun felt a little tired in his heart.
"Why are these two people together every time I come."
"Assisted, you're here, sit down." Looking at Chen's arrival, a smile appeared on Cao Cao's face.
Chen Xun sat down, and Cao Cao said slowly: "This battle is thanks to Fuzhi, otherwise my thousand tiger and leopard horsemen will probably be buried in the hands of Guo Huai, a soldier of Xiliang." ”
Chen Xun smiled and said: "This battle is thanks to General Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, if he hadn't taken the lead in rescuing and made the enemy relax their vigilance, my soldiers and horses would not have been able to achieve such a big victory." ”
Guo Jia chuckled and said: "There are reinforcements behind the reinforcements, General Chen is really a person who is familiar with military books, so he can catch the enemy by surprise, but the enemy general Guo Huai is also a talent." ”
"Come on, here comes the topic, Cao Cao is not good at poaching people in front of Chen Xun, so he sent Guo Jia to do this offending thing." Chen Xun said secretly in his heart.
"Lord, General Guo is a great talent, but he wants to ......"
"Is it a divisive plan, this point has long been thought of by Feng Xiao and I."
Chen Xun was speechless for a while, he knew that the surrender of Guo Huai had made Cao Cao scruple about him, but if Guo Huai and others gave up, this was not Chen Xun's style.
Looking at Chen Xun with such a look, Cao Cao laughed and said, "I got General Xu Huang's arm, how can I take Guo Huai away from you again." ”
"However, Guo Huai is also a general, and you now control too few soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you can't let him play to his heart's content, so I plan to wait until I take Luoyang, and then I will send you to guard and become the governor of Luoyang, as for Luoyang Baguan, I plan to let my brother Cao Ren guard it." Cao Cao changed his words.
Chen Xun muttered in his heart, guarding Luoyang turned out to be an excellent errand, but Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to garrison Luoyang Baguan, which means that in addition to Luoyang, he Chen Xun no longer has any territory, and Cao Ren was sent by Cao Cao to monitor Chen Xun, as long as Chen Xun has any abnormal movements, then the soldiers of Luoyang Baguan will come at dawn and evening, and he can be wiped out at any time.
"Lord, the eldest prince's studies have not been completed, I don't want to give up halfway, this is my talisman, please take it back." Chen Xun knelt on the ground, his expression was very serious.
"Auxiliary, if you make a great contribution this time, if I let you go back to be a teacher, I'm afraid that the world will laugh at me Cao, what I said just now was just a little joke I made to you, my original intention was to let you stay by my side, and Ang'er is not too young, I plan to let him join the army and be a halberd under you."
"Thank you, Lord." Chen Xun immediately knelt on the ground, this is a means of Cao Cao, in order to tell Chen Xun that if you are disobedient and want to develop your own power, I will leave you idle, and I will not be able to use you for the rest of your life.
Cao Cao seemed to remember something, and then asked, "By the way, Fuzhi, how is Luoyang." ”
Chen Xun said respectfully: "In Luoyang, Mr. Jia has persuaded Li Dao and Guo Yan to retreat from Chang'an and give Luoyang to us. ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Mr. Jia is a great talent in the world, and his talent is no less than that of Wen Ruo, and I will definitely entrust him with important tasks when he comes back this time." ”
"Lao Cao, if I accept a Guo Huai, you will poach Jia Xu from me, but you really don't want to suffer." Chen Xun said secretly in his heart, but his face was silent.
"Mr. Jia is indeed a great talent in the world, and the lord can use him like the ancestor uses Chen Ping." Chen Xun compared Jia Xu to Chen Ping, and also compared Cao Cao to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, which is a kind of sycophant in disguise.
"It's also appropriate to compare Mr. Jia to Chen Ping, but what if I want to take Xiang Yu." Cao Cao looked at Chen Xun with a gleam in his eyes.
Hearing this, Chen Xun broke out in a cold sweat, and only after a while did he say: "Although Xiang Yu is brave, he has no ambition, otherwise he would not have moved the capital to Pengcheng and divided the princes, so that Gaozu has an opportunity." Throughout Xiang Yu's life, even when he was at his strongest, he did not claim the title of emperor, in the next shallow view, Xiang Yu just wanted to end the troubled times, and then return to his hometown, so Xiang Yu can be a general, or he can be controlled, just need you to give him enough glory. Make him brilliant all his life. ”
Cao Cao's face became serious, and then he said, "Supplement, since this is the case, then we will make a decision." ”
When Chen Xun heard this, he didn't know whether he should answer Cao Cao's words, so he had to laugh on the spot.
When Chen Xun was about to leave, Cao Cao's voice sounded again.
"Supplemented by what I said to Feng Xiao, Qing will not live up to me, I will not live up to Qing, and now I will give you this sentence."
