Chapter 772

Cao Cao was even more angry when he heard Guo Jia's words.

In a short time, with the help of the great righteousness of the emperor, his strength developed rapidly. But for a long time, he was greatly constrained, because the emperor intended to seize power, and those loyal to the emperor intended to overthrow him.

Even though Xun Yu and others under his command worked for Cao Cao, they were loyal to the emperor in essence. Only Xun Yu knew that only by following Cao Cao could he have a chance to reorganize the Han Dynasty.

From time to time, today's Cao Cao is constrained by the imperial court.

So, it's hard.

Cao Cao clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "in today's situation, even if we deal with a large number of people, in fact, there are still people from the emperor's family ready to move. People with the emperor inside and Zhang Xiu outside come. What do you say to do? "

Guo Jia frowned at the speech.

It's not easy to do.

If you don't pay attention, Cao Cao is even in danger of overturning, because today's Zhang Xiu is no longer the former one.

Zhang Xiu killed Yanzhou and may defeat Cao Jun.

The key is that Cao Cao lost a lot in the first World War of Xinye. It is quite difficult for him to mobilize so many troops now. Of course, Cao Cao is not unable to mobilize troops, but the deployment of troops from various places will lead to the vacancy of garrison forces.

Therefore, Cao Cao must recuperate and temporarily stabilize the situation before he can fight with Zhang Xiu again.

Otherwise, it is difficult to compete with Zhang Xiu.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "fengxiao, what do you think, but it's OK to say. Now you don't have to consider the face of my official. As long as you can withdraw Zhang Xiu's troops, it's worth it. "

Guo Jia said: "humble position on bold advice."

Cao Cao said, "but it doesn't hurt to say so."

Guo Jia's eyes were sharp and said: "after the first World War in Xinye, there is a gap between the master and Zhang Xiu. Even if the Lord's strength is to mobilize all the forces to fight against it, it will be able to resist it. But once all the forces from different places are transferred back, it will certainly cause turbulence in different places. So now, we can only be soft to Zhang Xiu again. After all, the troops of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are unreliable, they can't restrain Zhang Xiu, they can only do so. "

Cao Cao said, "how do you say to be soft?"

Guo Jiachen said in a voice: "there are two strategies in humble position."

Cao Cao said, "you say it!"

Guo Jia said: "first, you can promise to give the emperor to Zhang Xiu and let Zhang Xiu take him to Luoyang or Chang'an."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.

All of a sudden, the corner of his mouth went up, a radian was drawn up, a look of praise was revealed, and he praised: "the strategy of filial piety is brilliant! Today's emperor is beneficial to us, but he has already formed a constraint when he is with us. "

"So simply give the emperor to Zhang Xiu, let Zhang Xiu control the emperor."

"Now that Zhang Xiu is powerful and the emperor is in his hands, there must be a contradiction between Zhang Xiu and the emperor. Moreover, the people of the emperor's family will also have conflicts with Zhang Xiu. "

Speaking of this, Cao Cao continued: "of course, it's very possible that Zhang Xiu won't want this hot potato. In a word, this is an advantage for Zhang Xiu. He doesn't want it. That's his business. "

Guo Jia said: "my Lord is wise!"

Cao Cao said, "what about the second?"

Guo Jiachen said: "second, in the name of the emperor of the imperial court, he worshipped Zhang Xiu as the king of Qin. Guanzhong has been the land of Qin since ancient times. The son of heaven worshipped Zhang Xiu as the king of Qin, which is right. "

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "fengxiao, you're not giving Zhang Xiu any advantages. On the contrary, you're adding obstacles to him. According to your arrangement, it is equivalent to baking Zhang embroidery on the fire. You know, there is no king of different surnames in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Xiu is not a fool. He can certainly understand. "

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "after careful consideration, these two conditions seem to be good for Zhang Xiu. In fact, it's not good for Zhang Xiu. I think, in the absence of real benefits, Zhang Xiu can not agree. "

Guo Jia thought about it for a while, and then continued: "in that case, let's give Zhang Xiu some practical benefits."

Cao Cao said, "what are the advantages?"

Guo Jia replied: "promise Zhang Xiu that he will attack Liu Bei in Yuzhou, and the Lord will not intervene."

"Ha ha ha..."

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Guo Jia said, "what is your father laughing at?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "what I'm laughing at is that you Guo fengxiao are so unprofitable that you can't get up early. It seems that you've given Zhang Xiu the benefit again. In fact, it's not so good."

Guo Jia said: "my Lord is wrong."

Cao Cao continued: "you should know that although Liu Bei lost his troops in Xinye, he was also a fierce tiger. He is very popular in Yuzhou. To let Zhang Xiu attack is tantamount to driving away the tiger and swallowing the wolf. To use Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei to fight, we can make a profit. But will Zhang Xiu go? "

"Yes

Guo Jia nodded solemnly.

With a smile on his face, he said firmly, "my Lord, the truth is very simple. Because under this premise, Zhang Xiu has the name of directly conquering Yuzhou, which is a famous teacher. ""Zhang Xiu is not a timid person. Under such a premise, the humble official thinks that Zhang Xiu will definitely choose to take the chestnut out of the fire and will agree. "

"Even if he knew clearly, the consequences of doing so might lead the Lord to be a fisherman. However, if Zhang Xiu succeeds in destroying Liu Bei, she will have a chance to establish herself in Yuzhou. "

"This is his chance!"

Guo Jia zhengse way: "so humble expectation, Zhang Xiu may agree to the conditions.". Of course, even if Zhang Xiu doesn't agree, let's fight again. Anyway, the situation can't get worse any more. "

Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "what fengxiao said is true. According to Zhang Xiu's nature, he may agree. However, in today's situation, there are actually no actual benefits, and Zhang Xiu may not agree. "

He knows Zhang Xiu well.

That's the Lord who doesn't get up early without profit.

No good, Zhang Xiu will not give up.

"No matter what, try again," Guo said

Cao Cao asked: "who will be sent as envoy to Zhang Xiu for a while?"

Guo Jia said, "Lord, I'm willing to go in person. This time, things are unusual. The rest of us are not at ease. I'll go and persuade Zhang Xiu. "

Cao Cao frowned and said, "fengxiao, you know Zhang Xiu. This guy, he always likes to use hostages. First there were ang'er and others, then Ma Teng and Ma Xiu; then there were Yan Liang and Wen Chou; and recently, there was Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's third younger brother. If you go to Zhang Xiu's camp and are detained, it's not good. "

Guo Jia said confidently: "Lord, don't worry. After all, it's a battle between the two armies. It's just the so-called battle between the two armies. If Zhang Xiu was captured alive in the war, there is no need to say more. But now it's not, so I'm not afraid of humble duty. "

Cao Cao said, "be careful!"

Guo Jia said, "don't worry, my Lord."

After that, Guo Jia said: "during his humble duty as an envoy, the Lord mobilized soldiers from all over the country as soon as possible to prepare for the fight. If it goes well, it's no problem. If you don't succeed in your humble duty as an envoy, you have to be ready for the war with Zhang Xiu. "

Cao Cao said, "I will arrange all this properly."

"Good!"

After Guo Jia answered, he turned and left Sikong mansion. He went back to his residence first, changed his clothes, took his simple luggage, and rode away from Xudu.

Guo Jia galloped all the way away.

There was no delay along the way and he was on his way very fast. The fastest time is more than 200 miles a day. In less than two and a half days, he had entered Fucheng County on the border of Yingchuan.

At this time, Zhang Fu Xiu led the army to the border.

Guo Jia is very glad that Zhang Xiu has not captured Fu Cheng county. One by one, he quickly went to Zhang Xiu's team. When he came to Zhang Xiu's team, he reported his name directly.

The soldiers went to pass the news and soon came back, leading Guo Jia to the location of Zhang Xiu.
