Xu county, Prime Minister's residence.
Recently, Cao Cao was busy sorting out the war situation in the north. Under his constant suppression, the situation gradually eased down. As long as there is a period of turbulence, stability can be achieved. Then, he can stabilize Youzhou and attack Xiliang. Once he has swept these places, he can go south again.
In particular, when Cao Cao received the news that Cao Ren had defeated Zhang Ren, he was very happy for a long time.
Fighting with Liu Xiu, he failed many times.
Cao Ren defeated Zhang Ren. Although it was only a battle to attack and defend the city, if he could win, it was also a victory.
For this reason, Cao Cao sent special orders and awards.
The art of war is being annotated in Cao sun Cao's study.
This is what he likes to do in his spare time. Military strategy is Cao Cao's favorite.
"Dong! Dong
The knock on the door rang out outside the study, and the attendant reported: "prime minister, Xun Junshi asked to see you."
Cao Cao put down his pen and said, "please come to the study."
"No!"
The attendant outside answered, and then turned down to pass the order.
After a short time, Xun you came to the study, knocked on the door and said, "prime minister!"
"Come in!"
Cao Cao gave orders.
Xun you entered the study, sat down and handed over a letter, saying: "prime minister, this is the war report that general Cao Ren just sent back and the news of Nanyang County. This time, it's a bit serious."
When Cao Cao heard the speech, he felt a thump in his heart.
Xunyou was a man who had never changed his appearance after the collapse of Mount Tai. He had great courage. If the news could shock Xunyou, something must have happened.
Cao Cao picked up the document and read it carefully.
The first news we saw was that 3000 soldiers were burned by a fire.
Seeing this, Cao Cao's heart sank, his face was even more tense, and he was in a bad mood. It's just a few days since I had a comfortable life. It's really frustrating to encounter such a thing.
However, when Cao Cao saw the content in the future, he was furious.
There are also two subsequent documents. One is about Cao Ren's judgment that Jia Xu colluded with Liu Xiu and was jailed by Cao Ren. The other one is the 800 Li urgent letter. It is Jia Xu who has escaped from prison.
Continuous news, so that the expression on Cao Cao's face, also reveals a pale look.
How is that possible?
How can Jia Xu collude with Liu Xiu? This is ridiculous. Jia Xu's escape from prison is even more impossible.
"Son of a bitch!"
Cao Cao directly threw the documents in his hand to the ground. He was already furious. It has been nearly ten years since he accepted Jia Xu. In the past ten years, he thinks that Jia Xu has been submissive to him and can't have two hearts.
Xun you said: "prime minister calm down, now things have happened, we must consider the remedy."
Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, how do you think it should be remedied?"
Xun you replied: "first, immediately check Wen he's family to see if they are still in Xu county?"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Come and see Xu Chu!"
Cao Cao was not a hesitant person, he gave orders directly.
"No!"
Outside the study, the soldier called back.
After a short time, Xu Chu came to the study and saluted.
Cao Cao ordered: "you immediately lead the troops to Jia Xu's house to see if Jia Xu's family is at home."
"No!"
Xu Chu had doubts in his heart. He took a look at Xun you and saw that Xun you also had a solemn look on his face. He knew that something important had happened this time. But he couldn't ask, so he turned back, took the soldiers and went straight to Jia Xu's house.
Xu Chu went outside the gate of Jia's house and sent someone to knock on it.
After a while, the door opened, the porter put out his head, saw that it was Xu Chu, and quickly bowed.
Xu Chu asked in a deep voice, "Ben was ordered to come to Wen he's family, and asked Mrs. Jia to come out to meet him." He did not say that Cao Cao wanted to confirm that Jia Xu's family was still there. Instead, he said that he had been ordered to find Jia Xu's wife, so that no one would be in charge.
The Porter said, "my wife has gone out. She is no longer at home."
After hearing this, Xu Chu immediately frowned and said, "since the wife is no longer there, what about the eldest son of Jia family?"
The porter then said, "the eldest son is no longer here!"
Xu Chu's heart moved, even Jia Xu's wife and eldest son are not in the house, so, is really Jia Xu out of something? Xu Chu said in a deep voice: "who else can be in charge of the Jia family? Who is still at home
The porter replied, "my wife and all of you have gone out to look for relatives. Now there is no one in charge of your family."
Hearing the speech, Xu Chu said, "when did madam go out?"
The porter replied, "about seven days."
"Seven days?"With a heavy look on his face, Xu Chu turned and left with the soldiers. Looking at the strange Xu Chu, the porter shook his head, turned and closed the door.
When Xu Chu returned to the prime minister's house, he went directly to his study and reported: "prime minister, seven days ago, Jia Xu's family said that they had gone out to look for relatives. Now, there are only a few handyman left in your family. "
"Son of a bitch!"
Cao Cao's anger rose and his eyes showed anger.
Jia Xu disappeared!
Jia Xu's family also disappeared!
What happened?
The second thing xunzu wanted to do about Jia zhengse was to say. Jia Xu and his family must be in Liu Xiu's hands. I even infer that Liu Xiu sent someone to take Jia Xu's family away. As for Jia Xu, I'm afraid he was robbed by Liu Xiu. I don't think Jia Xu will surrender. As for Jia Xu, I think we must make a thorough investigation. There should be a judgment as to what is going on. "
These words are in Cao Cao's heart.
Up to now, Cao Cao can't believe Jia Xu will surrender, which is absolutely impossible.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Gongda, you should investigate this matter thoroughly immediately. After careful inquiry, what happened to Jia Xu in Wan county and why he and his family suddenly disappeared. "
"No!"
Xun you nodded, his face slightly dignified.
Xu Chu finally knew what had happened. It turned out that Jia Xu had disappeared.
No wonder it's so outrageous.
Xu Chu stood respectfully and kept silent. He was very sensitive when it came to such things. If he didn't pay attention, he would involve himself in them, so he didn't want to be involved.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and said, "Xu Chu, send a tiger and leopard rider to inform Xu Huang immediately and let him return to Xu county. The prime minister wants to know what happened."
"No!"
Xu Chu got the order, turned around and left.
Cao Cao arranged two lines, one is Xun you's thorough investigation, the other is to let Xu Huang come back to explain things.
After Xu Huang returned from Wan county to Xu county, Xun you also found out. Cao Cao inquired about Xu Huang and carefully considered the whole matter. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the other party was aimed at Jia Xu, and Cao Ren played an accomplice and pusher in it, which made Jia Xu robbed.
When Cao Cao had his own conclusion, he asked Xu Huang to return to Wan county and then asked Xun you.
In the same way, Xun you also came to the conclusion that this time Wan County confrontation, the other side is clearly aimed at Jia Xu, that is to win Jia Xu.
After a total, Cao Cao could not help sighing.
Xun you sat next to Cao Cao and asked, "prime minister, it is an established fact that Jia Xu was taken by Liu Xiu. How should we deal with this matter? "
Cao Cao sighed: "what else can we do? Cao Ren is responsible for most of the discussion. It's not easy to deal with this matter. "
Xun you said: "if the truth is disclosed, it will have a great impact on general Cao and the current overall situation. Therefore, I think that for the time being, I can only claim that Jia Xu has betrayed us. "
"But..."
Cao Cao's eyes, showing a trace of embarrassment.
Xun you said: "prime minister, the two evil prime ministers have the least power. Jia Xu's family has been taken away. Now, it must be impossible for Wenhe to be submissive again. So, we have to sacrifice him. "
After listening, Cao Cao still hesitated.
Such a way of handling does not conform to Cao Cao's original intention.
But the current situation and situation, can only do so, he can't for a can't play for him Jiaxu punish caoren. Cao Cao sighed and said, "Gongda, you are in charge of this matter."
"No!"
Xun you nodded and left.
