The three hundred and twentieth chapter Lao Cao's gift

Once Yuan Shao died, the huge Hebei would no longer be a whole, and there would be no opponents from Cao Cao. As for Yuan Shao's two sons Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, in Cao Cao's opinion, they were just native chickens and treacherous dogs, and they were just wastes like Tao Qian's two sons. Otherwise, Tao Qian would not have given up Xuzhou Daye. In this way, Hebei would fall into Cao Cao's hands. Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

"I don't know if Military Advisor Guo thinks Xu You's right!" Cao Cao was laughing over there, and Xu You began to target Guo Jia on the side again.

Guo Jia was slightly stunned. He had been taking a break just now. Guo Jia was a prodigal son. He would never think about the problem where he could take a break. When Xu You came to Cao's army, the happiest person was Lao Cao, and the second person was probably Guo Jia, because someone could help Guo Jia share the burden. Guo Jia had more time to go to the romance and drink fine wine, so he was naturally very happy. But he didn't expect Xu You to turn his target to himself. "Hehe, Mr. Ziyuan said so much!" Guo Jia called out and wanted to reveal this section.

But it is obvious that Xu You didn't want to let him go. Xu You arrived at Cao Cao's command because there was no future in Yuan Shao's place. He was appointed as a lie. Yuan Shao was furious. If he was not good, he could kill Xu You. Xu You naturally would not stay anymore. He came to Cao Cao. Xu You in Yuan Shao's army may be just an optional role in Yuan Shao's view. That is because Xu You was only greedy but did not want to join the battle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and was naturally unwilling to be the two brothers. Now that he came to Cao Cao's command, Xu You was very proud of his talents. He and Cao Cao are friends, so he naturally wanted to be the first person under Cao Cao's command. Now Guo Jia is the first person under Cao Cao's command and the military advisor of the army. Xu You will naturally point the finger at Guo Jia. "You still have many shortcomings. I wonder if the military advisor can solve the doubts for You!"

"Mr. Ziyuan has done a good job, and Jia has no other opinions!" Guo Jia is just a lazy person. He is too lazy to go to compete with Xu You and Xu Ziyuan for the first place in civil servants. Cheng Yu has been playing against Guo Jia, but Guo Jia ignores it. If you want it, take it. He wants to be a little free, so he will teach Cheng Yu to do it. Cheng Yu can't stand Guo Jia's casual attitude, so he makes trouble for Guo Jia again and again, and Guo Jia! Only when he can't stand it can he fight back, and every counterattack can make Cheng Yu unable to come to Taiwan.

"Haha, Military Advisor Guo is too awarded!" Xu You looked at Guo Jia very proudly. He just wanted to show his performance in front of others. He showed that he was better than Guo Jia. The most important thing was to tell Lao Cao that he was better than Guo Jia, and let Lao Cao remove Guo Jia and then let himself become a military advisor!

But Xu You didn't understand Cao Cao anymore. It should be said that he didn't understand Cao Cao now. Cao Cao was no longer the Cao A-man. Now he is not only Cao Cao but also a hero. He is almost the overlord of Hebei.

What Xu You still doesn't understand is Guo Jia. Guo Jia doesn't like to fight with others at all. Xu You looks like he suppressed Guo Jia, but those who stayed in Cao Cao's military camp will know that Guo Jia's inconfrontation is actually a big fight. If you fight with a person who doesn't fight, in other people's eyes, the concession and your aggressiveness are so offensive. Old Cao frowned and looked at Xu You's performance, and for some reason aroused aversion. Xu You is not Guo Jia, Guo Jia can be very casual with Cao Cao. You can even get along with Cao Cao's friends.

It was because Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was a prodigal son. This person didn't care about high-ranking officials and generous salaries, nor did he have ambitions. What's important is that this person would not show off in front of others. However, Xu You was different. Although Xu You was very smart, this person was very greedy for money and had reached a certain level. If he was too greedy, he was caught by the courtesy, which led to Xu You's defection. This person regarded Cao Cao's politeness to him as convincing him. Cao naturally would not say much. Once it was useless or unnecessary, then Xu You would be really miserable.

Xu You felt the disgust of Cao Cao, and Guo Jia's inconvenience was regarded as a kind of concession or a feeling of being willing to give in, making him feel that the road to becoming the number one person under Cao Cao was not far away, so Xu You let Guo Jia go.

Cao Cao also asked another question for the sake of Xu You's good feeling of self-continuing, "Have you sent the food and grass from Shouchun?" Cao Cao's words stunned Xu You. Shouchun? Shouchun is in Yangzhou. Now if Xu You remembers it correctly, it should be Lu Bu's territory. Lu Bu and Cao Cao were once mortal enemies. Why did he transport food and grass there? Only then did he take down Wuchao some time ago in his memory, Cao Cao got a total of more than 200,000 grain and grass, but Cao took out half of the 100,000 stones from it without saying a word and transported it away. Xu You thought that the 100,000 stones were sent to Xu Du, but now he found that he was wrong and was very wrong. He was sent to Shouchun.

"Report to the lord! It has been sent over!" Guo Jia hugged Cao Cao and said, "If it were in private, Guo Jia would have drunk wine and shouted that he had already sent over. Now in front of others, Guo Jia gave Cao Cao enough face. This is Cao Cao's favorite strategist.

"Okay, that's good, that's good!" Cao Cao nodded. The first thing he thought of when he got the food was Shouchun.

"Ah! I wonder why you gave the hundreds of thousands of grains and grass for free! And it was Shouchun, which was the territory of Lu Bu?!" Xu You was puzzled. You said that the hundreds of thousands of grains and grass are of great value, and your own expenses are barely enough, but you can do it for 100,000 yuan at one time. Which great prince can withstand such a gift? "Is this what the military advisor does?" Xu You glanced at Guo Jia. Guo Jia was shot for no reason and was considered a prodigal son by Xu You.

"Haha, Ziyuan, you don't know! My 100,000 grains and grass are not scattered in vain!" Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile. "These hundreds of thousands of grains and grass have already paid the average price!"

"Reconcile this?!" Xu You asked, not understanding.

"Fengxiao, please explain it to Ziyuan!" Cao Cao directly pointed Guo Jia's name, just to use Guo Jia's name to damage Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, which means that you, Xu You, think you are extremely intelligent! But you didn't even think of this, so what else can you call yourself?

"Lord!?" Guo Jia was stunned. He looked at Cao Cao's eyes. How could he not know what Cao Cao thought? They have been working together for so many years and have already figured out Cao Cao's intentions. They have to continue to vent their anger. But didn't he know that Guo Jia didn't want to slap Xu You in the face at all! In other words, Guo Jia didn't want to offend Xu You. There was no need for this. Cheng Yu had already made Guo Jia very upset, and Xu You would let people live, but Cao Cao personally ordered Guo Jia and Guo Jia had to stand up.

"Mr. Ziyuan, you don't know anything!" Guo Jia said to Xu You, "My lord said that Lu Bu had paid for the food and grass, one of which was the battle of Guandu!" Guo Jia said and looked at Cao Cao on the stage. That look was a way to let me go, because he knew that Xu You would really be cruel to him. But Cao Cao seemed to have not seen it, which made Guo Jia speechless. He could only drive the ducks to the shelves.

"Mr. Ziyuan, this is what I said to have paid the average price!" Since it is not easy to refuse, let's slap it in the face! Anyway, Xu You and Guo Jia look very uncomfortable. Although Cheng Yu is against Guo Jia everywhere, Cheng Yu is an old stubborn person. Although this old stubborn person is stubborn, there are many things for Guo Jia's goodness. For example, when drinking, Guo Jia is very weak, and drinking only has no benefits for him. Cheng Yu banned alcohol because he wanted to make Guo Jia healthy, but Guo Jia is used to it and doesn't want to change it, but Xu You is different. He wants to step on his own head. Guo Jia doesn't care about him, and he doesn't want to spend time. But now he is forced, so it's no wonder Guo Jia.

"The Battle of Wuchao is actually half the price sent by the Lu Bu army in Shouchun!" Guo Jia threw out such a blockbuster bomb without hesitation...

"What?!" Xu You was not calm because he joined Cao Cao's army. He was so proud and so proud because he thought he had great contributions! He was so proud! But he still remembered that Cao Cao heard that he was coming, and he was so proud that he had come out to greet him, and said happily: "Ziyuan is here, great things can be accomplished!" Then he asked himself to sit down and talk. Xu You asked, "How long can the military rations be used for your army?" Cao Cao replied, "It can still be supported for a year." Xu You said again: "How many are there?

To be honest!" Cao Cao replied again, "You can support it for half a year." Xu You said, "Don't you want to defeat Yuan Shao? Why don't you tell the truth?" Cao Cao said, "Just kidding you, in fact, the military rations are only the amount of this month." Xu You offered his advice and said, "Now Meng De's army is alone, without reinforcements or food, which is a critical survival. Now the Yuan army has food in Wuchao. Although there are soldiers, they are not prepared. As long as you send light troops to attack Wuchao and burn its food and grass, Yuan's army will be defeated in just three days!"

Such a great contribution, Guo Jia is now saying that this is Shouchun Lu Bu’s plan, and you have to say something decent even if you lie!

"Haha, I don't know where You offended the military advisor. Let the military advisor have such an objection to Xu You, and even Xu You's credit has become someone else's!" Xu You was a little dissatisfied and said coldly. When he came, this was just Guo Jia suppressing him, and he couldn't stand his ability than him!

"Oh!" Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that this bad guy had settled down. Well, okay, since he did it, let's fight a little louder. "Mr. Ziyuan, I can tell you that when you were still under Yuan Benchu ​​as a counselor, Shu King Liu Mang told us! But at that time, my lord and I were not sure, and Mr. Ziyuan's arrival made us believe in this attack on Wuchao!" Guo Jia meant that we had known about your surprise attack on Wuchao for a long time. Your appearance was just to make us more certain. The real credit was not yours at all.

"Haha, do you think Ziyuan will believe it? Before the confrontation between Guandu, why didn't the military advisor say that there were people in this world who knew five hundred years and five hundred years!" It was like a god. It was just a legend. Even first-class strategists made mistakes. How could there be someone who had thought of flaws before the battle?

"Mr. Ziyuan, I don't want to believe it, but you can ask your colleagues below, and you can also ask your lord!" Guo Jia waved his hand and said. Xu You and Xu Ziyuan were afraid that he would not be embarrassed enough, so he insisted on asking the truth. After Wuchao took it, Cao Cao gave Xu You a lot of rewards. These rewards simply did not match Xu You's credit.

"Yes, yes, I knew it before I waited!" The group of strategists below, as well as several of Lao Cao's confidant generals, were nodding, but Xu You didn't believe it. He thought these people were all jealous of him. Or because he was considering the position of Guo Jia's military advisor, he also heard what Cao Cao said. When Cao Cao saw that Xu You was not giving up, he had to slap him.

"Ziyuan, don't be discouraged. This Shu King is a very human being. Even Fengxiao and the others can think of it!" Old Cao seemed to be comforting on the surface, but in fact he was finishing off the attack. He directly told you Xu You, you should not compare with others. In fact, you are just a suggestion. You are just a person who drinks soup!

"This, this, this!" Xu You didn't want to believe it, but Cao Cao didn't seem to be telling a lie. Xu You could only grit his teeth and snorted coldly. He was always proud. He was always practicing because he believed that without him, Xu You, there would be no such achievements as Lao Cao now. If it weren't for Xu You, the current Cao might have fled to death. He was even seriously injured and waited to die like Yuan Shao. Lao Cao would have been driven out of Yanzhou by Yuan Shao. How could he be so proud of himself now? But now someone tells him that all this has nothing to do with you. You are just one of the supporting roles. This kind of supporting role really makes Xu You feel ashamed of.

"King of Shu Liu Mang, King of Shu Liu Mang! I want to see what kind of person you are!" Xu You secretly gritted his teeth. Liu Mang didn't know that he had offended such a first-class adviser inadvertently. Xu You had no face to stay in the camp, and said a headache to Cao Cao and left.

Xu You left, and the plan for Yecheng came out. Cao Cao waved his hand and asked these generals to leave to prepare to take Hebei, leaving Guo Jia alone.

Everyone said goodbye and left, only Guo Jia was left. Seeing that there was no one, Cao Cao no longer had to hold it in his arms and laughed. Fortunately, Xu You had already left a long way, otherwise Xu You would regret that he had joined Cao Cao's army.

"Lord, lord! You are so cruel to Fengxiao!" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and laughed, but his smile was a bitter smile, because today he became this enemy. With Xu You's personality, there should be no possibility of reconciliation with Guo Jia. Cao Cao was completely used as a knife. Even if Guo Jia saw it, he refused unreasonably.

"Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao, don't behave well when you get a bargain. Do you really don't want to see Xu You's black face? I don't believe it, you don't smile in your heart?" Cao Cao was also joking about Guo Jia, "You're not going to say it. After Cao Cao said this, Guo Jia remembered Xu You's face, first a normal yellow, that was proud, and that looked annoying. After that, it was a trendy red, that was shameless, and then it was purple and black. That was not believed, it was impossible, and in the end it was pale, that was embarrassing. Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile.

"Lord, lord, no matter what, I will not leave without compensating me!" Guo Jia was regarded as a knife by Cao Cao no matter what. Although this knife was very pleasant, and Guo Jia was also very excited, but being plotted was plotted, so although Guo Jia would not be angry, he would naturally blackmail Cao Cao.

"How about a good jar of aged Du Kang wine!" Cao Cao stretched out a finger and said.

"A jar of haha, lord, I can't walk anymore!" Guo Jia did not say directly, but said directly that I can't walk anymore, which means I can't walk anymore. What do you think about it? Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Two jars are OK!"

Guo Jia did not reply, but told Cao Cao with his actions. He directly did what he wanted to take off his shoes and rest on the couch beside Cao Cao.

"Three altars, three altars are not enough!" Cao Cao stretched out another finger, but it was obvious that Guo Jia was still not satisfied. "Okay, Fengxiao, how many altars do you want!"

"Haha! Lord, don't do this. What do you mean by how many jars of me? This is what you compensate me!" Guo Jia stretched out his hands.

Five fingers on one hand are five jars, and ten fingers on the other hand are ten jars. "No talk, no talk, ten jars? You sleep here!" Cao Cao also acted like a rogue. This old wine is not an ordinary wine. He, Cao, just got some ten jars from the homes of those gentry, basically all his wine.

"Tsk!" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao disdainfully, and just sleep! Others don't know Cao Cao. How can Guo Jia not understand? What is Cao Cao good? First, good power, second, good writing, third, that is lustful! Good power, Cao Cao is Sikong under the command of Emperor Han. He is under one person and above ten thousand people. In fact, except for the nominal Emperor Han who can command him, the Han Emperor is actually looking at Cao Cao's face and good writing. Lao Cao is the leader of the seven sons of Jian'an. His words are really good. But articles are not something you can enjoy. Articles are naturally a master of a skill, and the remaining lust is the norm. He is a man's normal state, but Cao Cao has just magnified this a little. It has been several months since the Battle of Guandu, and these few months have passed.

Lao Cao couldn't even sleep well, and his expression was in a state of tension. Not to mention women, he couldn't sleep well, but now it's different. He won the battle of Guandu. After a brief analysis just now, Yuan Shao, his land was about to die. It can be said that relying on two Yuan family kids, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, if they united, they could still give Cao Cao a headache, but these two would be harmonious! Obviously, it was incompatible, so the overall situation in Hebei was determined, Cao Cao was the overlord of the north, and now he took Chaoge again, so he should have a rest. Lao Cao's lust gradually became more and more insufficiency. Of course, he had to release it. How could Guo Jia not see it! There are naturally people who prepared beautiful women for Lao Cao in Chaoge.

If he stayed in the tent, this old Cao would not be able to block Guo Jia’s face and have a romance!

Guo Jia directly took Cao Cao's seven-inch key points. Cao Cao would naturally compromise. "My good filial piety, good Guo Jia, seven altars, and there is no more than the altar."

"The Heaven?!" Guo Jia licked his lips. He continued to watch Cao Cao not speak and played psychological tactics. These strategists were the best at it.

"If you want it again, then you can sleep here!" Cao Cao was helpless. He only had ten jars of old wine in total. I don't know where Guo Jia learned about it. Giving seven jars is the limit. It's not that he doesn't give it, but during the celebration banquet, Cao Cao must not be used to entertain him with fine wine! Cao Cao had no choice but to play helpless with Guo Jia.

"Okay, seven jars are just seven jars!" Guo Jia said this on the surface, with a very regretful expression, but he was already happy in his heart. His bottom line was only half of five jars. He stretched out ten fingers just now to remind Lao Cao that he knew that you had ten jars of fine wine in your hand, but Lao Cao thought that he wanted ten jars. How could Guo Jia be unhappy if he had two jars of fine wine for no reason? This smile from the heart could not be hidden, and he was caught by Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew that he had been fooled by Guo Jia's psychological tactics. Cao Cao gritted his teeth, "Okay, you Guo Fengxiao, you are even planning to lord!" Although Cao Cao gritted his teeth, the water he poured out of the words he said could only let the sergeant give Guo Jia seven jars of good wine.

"Okay, Fengxiao, we should talk about some serious business. What should Lu Bu army give to this remaining ordinary food and grass money?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia. Although Lao Cao transferred 100,000 stones of food and grass without blinking, Lao Cao was still very distressed. 100,000 stones of food and grass, this is a lot of taxes, but Lao Cao had no choice but to transfer it. Cao Cao was not a kind person. He really gave food and grass to the words of King Liu Mang of Shu? Let's joke! In the original history, Xu You said Wuchao, but what did Lao Cao give to Xu You to what he said to Xu You?

Then, in the end, he killed Xu You, what is a hero and a treacherous hero? One thing that can be called these two words is that they are thick-skinned. Only when they are thick-skinned can they survive in troubled times. Lao Cao used the guise of Emperor Han to command the princes. Liu Bei was even more loyal to the people under the guise of loyalty. If Lao Cao was really a loyal minister, why did he finally take the Han and replace him? If Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle and a loyal minister, then why did Emperor Han not command the army to abdicate by Cao Pi, Liu Bei did not command the army to attack the north, but directly proclaim himself emperor in Chengdu!

So none of these people can really get right. They are all people who are right and wrong. A gentleman has long died in the grave.

Lao Cao gave Lu Bu food and supplies to Shouchun. Do you really think he was a charity! He was guarding against Liu Bei. Although Lao Cao took Guandu, it would take a long time to truly pacify Hebei. He now has a total of 100,000 troops. It is no problem to pacify Hebei, but it is not possible to guard against the Central Plains areas of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. He would not know who Liu Bei was. This time, the three families besieged Lu Bu, so that Sun Ce could fight against Liu Biao in Jingzhou and take Jingzhou with all his heart, and Liu Bei could remove the last enemy in the Central Plains. He would occupy Yuzhou in Yangzhou after a difficult time.

He even attacked Xuzhou and Yanzhou and Zhili. He didn't want to take Hebei and look back. There was a hegemon in the Central Plains. When would he fight? So Lao Cao could not let Lu Bu's army be destroyed. At least it is not possible now. He asked Lu Bu's army to delay Liu Bei's army and Sun Ce's army, so that the Central Plains would be a piece of loose sand, not a hard board. Lao Cao's own troops were not enough and could not directly send troops to help, so he could only rely on food and grass. He knew that Shouchun had millions of people, and what he lacked was food and grass, so Lao Cao sent 100,000 food and grass to the opposite side of the Huaihe River, the capital of Yangzhou, Shouchun.

"Lord, I have sent someone! I believe Lu Bu will not refuse!" Cao Cao and Guo Jia's 100,000 stone of food and grass were not only to keep the Central Plains loose, but also to get the sharp weapon crossbow. Although this thing was not flowed from Lu Bu's army, but the simple version made by Liu Ye, it made Lao Cao happy to the extreme and also saw the power of this crossbow. In the battle of water war, Lao Cao could actually win Yuan Shao's 100,000 waters with 30,000 ordinary sailors with 30,000 ordinary sailors, but he could actually win Yuan Shao's 100,000 waters. In the battle of water war, Lao Cao could actually win Yuan Shao's 100,000 waters with 30,000 ordinary sailors.

Although the navy on both sides were half-baked, the battle loss ratio was simply surprising to Lao Cao. There was also the scene when the enemy could not touch him when he was at the beginning of the station. Lao Cao would never forget it. If it weren't for Lao Cao's bed crossbow that could only fire two, it might not have been wiped out. It was because the bed crossbow was not supported enough, so it was because the crossbow was broken and the battle was broken. If the crossbow could be fired continuously, then there might not be Yuan Shao's 100,000 naval troops at the bottom of the Yellow River, but even Yuan Shao himself could be fed to the turtle!

In the Yangtze River Basin, the crossbows there are the kind that Lao Cao was worried about that he could shoot continuously. If Lao Cao encountered it, wouldn’t he be unlucky! The crossbow can not only fight water on warships, but also use it to defend the city. Therefore, Lao Cao was eager to get those crossbows. Lu Bu’s army did not sell them before, and Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Liu Biao from Jingzhou were even more wary of Lao Cao, just like he was guarding against bandits, and he turned the crossbows tightly into his hands. He even tacitly agreed on the battlefield where he had been beaten. Everyone sent water ghosts to the Yangtze River to collect the crossbows one by one. In this way, Cao Cao could not get the method of making crossbows, and now he could only turn to Lu Bu’s army for help.

Everyone says that adding icing on the cake is worse than giving timely help. Cao Cao, under the predicament of Lu Bu's army in Shouchun, Yangzhou, sent 100,000 stones of food and grass under the siege of three families. This is a real timely help. He doesn't believe that Lu Bu's army, Shouchun and Lujiang will not be moved. As long as he is sent to the manufacturing method of the crossbow, he will make a profit, and may even use these crossbows to help him accelerate the unification of the entire Hebei!

PS: I'll go! It seems like I'm going to have ten thousand words missing! I'll wipe it!
