Everyone looked around and saw that it was Guo Jia who was sitting in the back. He was holding the letter in his hand and had a confident smile on his face.

Because of the failed assassination of Sun Ce, Guo Jia has been silent recently. Unless Cao Cao asks him personally, he usually won't take the initiative to speak. At this time, he finally spoke again. Many people looked at it curiously.

towards him.

"How can Fengxiao testify for Xu You who is far away in Yuan Shao's army?" Obviously, Cao Cao was also a little curious about this matter. He had seen Xu You's letter and was doubtful about it, so he summoned everyone to discuss it.

, but seeing the confident look on Guo Jia's face again, Cao Cao was inexplicably relieved.

"I can't testify about Xu You, but I can testify that Xu You's brother was indeed tried and targeted in Yecheng, and Xu You was indeed a protector of shortcomings. He asked Yuan Shao to order his brother to be killed in Yuan Shao's army.

He was released and punished, but Yuan Shao did not agree. It is probably under such circumstances that he made such a decision out of anger."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone finally showed a look of surprise on their faces.

"In this case, there must be internal support from Fengxiao in Yecheng and Yuan Shao's army, right?"

"It is true that we have internal support, and we must have Yuan Shao's internal support in our army, but how to use internal support is a bit particular."

When Guo Jia said this, everyone understood that this was entirely a play planned by Guo Jia to force Xu You into Cao Jun's camp, and this was obviously a strategy tailor-made for Xu You to put his

Personality and relationship with Yuan Shao's other advisers were also taken into consideration.

"Okay! Since Fengxiao did it intentionally, let's accept Xu You. After all, I understand Xu You's temperament. He won't just come under my command and eat for free without making any contribution. Once he comes,

Yes, he will probably send a big gift to our army!"

Cao Cao knew what kind of person Xu You was, and Cao Cao still had high hopes for Guo Jia's design.

After this matter was discussed, everyone dispersed. In the end, only he and Guo Jia were left in Cao Cao's room. Guo Jia would normally not stay after such an occasion, but Cao Cao had given Guo Jia a

With the hint in his eyes, Guo Jia stayed.

"Fengxiao, the failure to assassinate Sun Ce before was not your fault. I will keep in mind what you did secretly for me. Regardless of success or failure, it is a good strategy."

Cao Cao understands Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia seems to be so indifferent and doesn't care about anything, once the strategy fails, the blow to him will be much greater than that of other advisers.

He is different from other counselors. Other counselors make suggestions for themselves mostly for the sake of status, but Guo Jia simply wants to use his own strategies to change the world.

A person like Guo Jia, who was so devoted to Cao Cao, naturally knew that Cao Cao could understand him.

He and Cao Cao didn't talk much, but sometimes, they would have some heart-to-heart conversations.

"Sikong, there are some strategies. It's not that I don't want to talk about them, but whether they assassinate Sun Ce or use Xu You's younger brother to force him to join Sikong, they are not good strategies. They are both desperate strategies. My abilities are not unparalleled in the world.

Yes, it’s just that I don’t care if the plan is a dead end, but if there are too many such plans, it will be punished by God. Guo Jia just doesn’t want Sikong to be implicated in some way.”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, just shook his head and remained silent for a long time.

"Sikong doesn't have to worry. As a counselor, if I can let Sikong unify the Central Plains in my lifetime, I will have no regrets in my life!"

Guo Jia smiled and comforted Cao Cao, but Cao Cao couldn't laugh no matter what.

"Fengxiao, no matter what, after this battle, you should stop making desperate measures. We can rely on military power to compete in the Central Plains. Fengxiao is only thirty years old, and he will definitely be able to unify with me.

Central Plains!”

"Fengxiao hopes so. I'm not worried about Yuan Shao. He is not the Ming Lord. Sikong's biggest enemy will definitely be Jiangdong in the future. Sun Ce is only twenty-five years old, but he has already unified Jiangdong, and Sikong ended this war.

There are still many enemies waiting to be dealt with after that. In addition... His Majesty's visit this time is strange. He probably hid with Sikong in the past few years. He probably threw Dong Cheng, Liu Bei and others out in the court.

Just to cover up Zhang Hong’s secret actions.”

Guo Jia had never said these words to Cao Cao. After all, the battle between them and Yuan Shao had not been finalized before, but now, once Xu You arrives, he will definitely bring some bargaining chips to Cao Cao.

Under such circumstances, Guo Jia also felt that he could tell Cao Cao his thoughts on Liu Xie's matter.

"What Fengxiao means is that His Majesty was not abducted to Jiangdong by Zhang Hong after being knocked unconscious, but that he himself participated in the planning of this matter?"

Cao Cao obviously didn't believe this speculation, because it had been four or five years since he took control of the Han Dynasty. He still knew what kind of person Liu Xie was, and it was obvious that Liu Xie was hiding his secrets from him.

He has been there for four or five years and still hasn't revealed anything. He obviously doesn't believe it. If this is true, this person is a bit too scary.

Moreover, Liu Xie was only eighteen or nineteen years old. If such a young man had such a deep scheming, Cao Cao would not believe it.

"I wasn't sure before, but this matter is really unreasonable. Based on Liu Xie's previous performance, he would not have done anything like telling Dong Cheng in court. From that time on, they must have been planning!

"

Cao Cao also analyzed it quietly, and then nodded involuntarily.

Obviously, looking at it from the perspective of onlookers, they were all attracted by Dong Cheng's daring to make the dress edict, but they did not notice that the key to this incident was Liu Xie's detonation.

"If I can severely injure Yuan Shao this time, Jiangdong will be my number one enemy!"

Although Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong before, Cao Cao never regarded him as his number one enemy, not even his number two and number three, because Sun Ce was a generation behind him in terms of age, even his father

Even Sun Jian and Cao Cao didn't like him, let alone Sun Ce.

But now that the country has explained this matter so solemnly, Cao Cao understands that with Liu Xie, Jiangdong will be the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty in the future. Once Liu Xie issues a proclamation to denounce him, he will become a true national thief.
