Cao 'Cao' has been busy sorting out the battle situation in the north recently, and under his continuous suppression, the situation has finally gradually calmed down. As long as there is a period of time, the place where the movement is 'swinging', it can be stable. Then, he can stabilize Youzhou and then attack Xiliang. Once he had swept through these places, he could go south again.
In particular, Cao 'Cao' received the news of Cao Ren's defeat of Zhang Ren, and he was also happy for a long time.
Fighting with Liu Xiu, he failed repeatedly.
Cao Ren defeated Zhang Ren, although it was only a battle to siege and defend the city, but to be able to win, it was also a victory.
For this reason, Cao's '' special 'door' was rewarded.
In the study, Cao 'Cao' is annotating "The Art of War".
This is what he likes to do in his spare time, the art of war and strategy, which is Cao's favorite thing.
"Knock! knock!"
The sound of knocking on the 'door' sounded outside the study, and the 'attendant' reported: "Prime Minister, Xun Junshi asks to see." β
Cao Cao' put down the pen in his hand and ordered, "Please come to the study." β
"No!"
The attendant outside the door replied, and then turned and went down to give the order.
After a short time, Xun You came to the outside of the study, knocked on the 'door' of the room, and said, "Prime Minister!"
"Come in!"
Cao '' and commanded.
Xun You entered the study, sat down and handed over a document, saying: "Prime Minister, this is the battle report that General Cao Ren just sent back and the news of Nanyang County, this time the matter is a bit serious. β
Cao '' when he heard this, and his heart chuckled.
Xun You is a person who has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his 'color' remains unchanged, he is very bold, and the news can shock Xun You, then something terrible must have happened.
Cao 'Cao' picked up the paperwork and read it carefully.
The first thing I saw was the news that 3,000 soldiers had been burned in a fire.
Seeing this situation, Cao's heart sank, his face was even more tense, and his mood was very unhappy. It's only been a few days of comfortable days, and it's really sad to encounter something like this.
It's just that Cao '' saw the content behind and was immediately furious.
There are two follow-up documents, one is about Cao Ren's judgment that Jia Xu colluded with Liu Xiu, and Cao Ren was imprisoned. The other document is an eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, which means that Jia Xu has escaped from prison.
The continuous news made the expression on Cao's '' face also 'revealed' a trace of paleness.
How is that possible?
How could Jia Xu collude with Liu Xiu, this is simply ridiculous. Jia Xu escaped from prison, which is even more impossible.
"'Bastard' account!"
Cao 'Cao' directly threw the paperwork in his hand to the ground, and he was already angry. It has been nearly ten years since he subdued Jia Xu, and in the past ten years, he thinks that Jia Xu has already submitted to him, and it is impossible to have two hearts.
Xun Youzheng said: "Prime Minister is angry, now that the matter has happened, we must consider a remedy." β
Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, how do you think it should be remedied?"
Xun You replied: "First, immediately check Wen He's family and see if his family is still in Xu County?"
Cao '' took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Someone, please come and see Xu Chu!"
Cao 'Cao' was not a hesitant person, and he gave the order directly.
"No!"
Outside the study, the soldier replied.
After a short time, Xu Chu came to the study and saluted with his fists.
Cao 'Cao' ordered: "You immediately lead the troops to Jia Xu's residence to see if Jia Xu's family is at home." β
"No!"
Xu Chu had doubts and confusion in his heart, glanced at Xun You, and saw that Xun You also had a solemn look, and knew in his heart that something big must have happened this time. But he couldn't ask, so he turned and retreated, then took the soldiers and went straight to Jia Xu's residence.
Xu Chu arrived outside the big 'gate' of Jiafu and sent someone to knock on the 'door'.
After a while, the 'door' of the room opened, and the 'door' room poked out his head, saw that it was Xu Chu, and hurriedly bowed.
Xu Chu asked in a deep voice: "Ben will be ordered to come to Mr. Wenhe's family, and also invite Mrs. Jia to come out to meet." "He didn't say that Cao '' to confirm that Jia Xu's family was still there, but directly said that he was ordered to find Jia Xu's wife, so that he would not fall into the hands of others.
The 'door' room said: "Mrs. went out of the 'door' and is no longer in the house." β
After hearing this, Xu Chu immediately frowned and said, "Since the lady is no longer there, then, what about the eldest prince of Jiafu?"
The 'door' room said: "The eldest prince is no more!"
Xu Chu's heart moved, even Jia Xu's wife and eldest son were not in the mansion, so could it really be that something happened to Jia Xu? Xu Chu said in a deep voice: "In Jia's mansion, who else can be in charge? Who is still in the mansion." β
The 'door' room replied: "Madame and all the sons have gone out to look for relatives, and now there is no one in charge in the house." β
When Xu Chu heard this, he said, "When did Madame go out?"
The 'door' room replied, "It's been about seven days." β
"Seven days?"
Xu Chu's face showed a heavy look, and he turned around and left with the soldiers. The 'door' room looked at the strange Xu Chu, shook his head, turned around and closed the 'door'.
Xu Chu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and came directly to the study, and reported: "Prime Minister, seven days ago, Jia Xu's family said that they went out to look for relatives. Now, there are just some miscellaneous servants left in the house. β
"'Bastard' account!"
Cao '' with anger, and his eyes showed an angry look.
Jia Xu is gone!
Jia Xu's family has also disappeared!
What's going on?
Xun Youzheng said: "Lord, the second thing I want to talk about next is about Jia Xu. Jia Xu and his family must be in Liu Xiu's hands. It is even inferred that Jia Xu's family was also taken away by Liu Xiu. As for Jia Xu, I am afraid that he was robbed by Liu Xiu, and I don't think Jia Xu will surrender. Regarding the matter of Jia Xu, I believe that it must be thoroughly investigated. There should be a judgment as to what is going on. β
These words went to Cao's heart.
Until now, Cao 'Cao' still can't believe that Jia Xu will surrender, this is absolutely impossible.
Cao 'Cao' nodded and ordered: "Gongda, you immediately investigate this matter thoroughly." Inquire carefully, what happened to Jia Xu in Wan County, and why he and his family suddenly disappeared. β
"No!"
Xun You nodded, his face was slightly solemn.
Xu Chu finally knew what was going on, and it turned out that Jia Xu was missing.
No wonder the presentation is so furious.
Xu Chu stood respectfully and kept silent, when it came to such a thing, he was very sensitive, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would get involved in it, so he didn't want to mix.
Cao 'Cao' thought for a while, looked at Xu Chu again, and instructed: "Xu Chu, you send a tiger and leopard rider to inform Xu Huang immediately, let him go back to Xu County, and the prime minister wants to understand what happened." β
"No!"
Xu Chu got the order, turned around and left.
Cao 'Cao' arranged two lines, one line was Xun You's thorough investigation, and the other line was for Xu Huang to come back and explain the matter.
After Xu Huang returned to Xu County from Wan County, Xun You also verified it. After Cao 'Cao' questioned Xu Huang, he carefully considered the whole thing, and finally came to the conclusion that the other party was aimed at Jia Xu at all, and Cao Ren was in it, completely playing an accomplice and pusher, prompting Jia Xu to be robbed.
Cao 'Cao' had his own conclusions, so he asked Xu Huang to return to Wanxian, and then asked Xun You.
Similarly, Xun You also came to the conclusion of this Wanxian 'confrontation', and the other party was clearly aimed at Jia Xu, that is, to take Jia Xu.
After some summing, Cao '' couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Xun You sat next to Cao 'Cao' and asked, "Prime Minister, it is already an established fact that Jia Xu was taken down by Liu Xiu. How should this matter be handled?"
Cao 'Cao' sighed lightly: "What else can be done? When this matter is really discussed, Cao Ren has to bear most of the responsibility." This matter is not easy to handle. β
Xun You said: "If the truth is announced, it will have a great impact on General Cao, and it will also affect the current overall situation." Therefore, in the next opinion, for the time being, it can only be claimed that Jia Xu betrayed. β
"But ......"
Cao's '' eyes showed a trace of embarrassment.
Xun Yu said: "Prime Minister, the lesser of two evils, Jia Xu's family has been taken away." Now, it is definitely impossible to make Wenhe submit to obedience. So, he had to be sacrificed. β
After Cao '' listened, he still hesitated.
This way of dealing with it is not in line with Cao's original intention.
But the current situation and situation can only do this, and it is impossible for him to punish Cao Ren for a Jia Xu who is impossible to work for him. Cao 'Cao' sighed lightly and said, "Gongda, you have full authority to deal with this matter." β
"No!"
Xun You nodded in response, then turned around and left.
