My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 216 Guo Jia's Mission

In [-] AD,
In the third year of Jian'an, the end of October in winter.

Cao Cao killed Lu Bu and pacified the counties in Xuzhou, but Chu Feng failed to rescue him. So far, Cao Cao has completely controlled all parts of Xuzhou, and his power is unprecedented.

Even Yuan Shao from Hebei could hardly suppress his sharpness.

Of course, the Central Plains are dilapidated, slightly worse than Hebei, but the Central Plains is the foundation of the world, once Cao Cao is allowed to recuperate, Yuan Shao will be invincible.

The news of Cao Cao's murder of Lv Bu became known to the world in a blink of an eye. Coupled with Cao Cao's righteousness of coercing the emperor, countless powerful families came and went to join him.

----

Xiapi, inside the general's mansion.

Half a month has passed since the Battle of Xiapi,
Cao Jun is also in good shape, and even Zang Ba has already gone to the north of Xuzhou first, and is ready to start to seek Qingzhou. As for Cao Jun, he is also planning to return to the court in two days.

At this moment, everyone in the mansion is gathered together.

They were all discussing some details of governance, among them, Chen Deng spoke the most, and this place will be his domain from now on, and he has to work hard to manage it properly.

"Report~, my lord, the Chu army, the Chu army has gone to the southeast!" The scout rushed in and shouted anxiously.

"What did you say? He went to the southeast? Isn't he in the southwest?" Cao Cao frowned suddenly, and then his pupils shrank: "Guangling?"

Chen Deng was also nervous, his father was still in Guangling, if Chu Feng went to Guangling, wouldn't that mean
"My lord, it seems that Chu Feng doesn't want to return to Shouchun in peace. This time Yuanlong is in Xiapi, Guangling is empty, and his troops will surely surrender."

Guo Jia's expression tightened, he stroked his beard and said.

As soon as Chu Feng left, they were wary that he would go to get Guangling, but they didn't expect Chu Feng to really dare to go to get it. Isn't he afraid that the logistics supply will not be enough?

Cao Cao nodded, looking worried.

As for the generals under his command, they are filled with righteous indignation at the moment.

"My lord, Chu Feng doesn't know how to live or die. We have already let him go, but he has made an inch of progress. The last general will call for a fight. I am willing to lead my troops to Guangling to take his head!"

Xia Houyuan immediately clasped his fists and shouted angrily.

"The last general invites you to fight and kill Chu Feng." Le Jin also shouted angrily.

"The last general invites you to fight."

For a moment, all the generals rebuked angrily.

Cao Cao lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
As the leader of the three armies, Cao Ren thought for a while, and immediately said: "My lord, the army's heart is available, but the general thinks it's better to take Yuan Shao slowly and take Shouchun urgently."

"Yuan Shaoshang made peace with the lord, so it's not appropriate to rush for it. On the contrary, Chu Feng and the lord are enemies of life and death. Now he wants to take the opportunity to seize Guangling. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

"The last general asks for orders, and his troops are willing to take Shouchun directly. In addition, Xu Du can send people to support him, and Sun Ce can go all three ways. I want to see what Chu Feng will do!"

Cao Ren spoke with a bit of anger,

Obviously, he was very aggrieved the night before.

"That's right, what General Cao Ren said is absolutely true!"

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Xu Huang also said.

Forget about Chu Feng being awesome, he fled like a bereaved dog at this moment, and dared to seek their territory, he simply didn't pay attention to them.

Tolerable or unbearable!
Cao Cao also raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he really wanted to kill Chu Feng. One was that this person beheaded many of his generals, and the other was that he had ruined his good deeds many times!

From any angle, I have a reason to kill myself.

Immediately, he looked at Guo Jia and the others, and asked in a deep voice: "Feng Xiao, Gong Da, Yuan Long, what do you think should be done? Do you want to capture Shou Chun?"

Several people looked at each other. Chen Deng was a little humble. After all, he joined Cao Cao's camp later, so it's not suitable for him to talk at the moment. Guo Jiaxunyou glanced,

Xun You came out with a light smile and said, "May I ask you generals, even if you are brave enough to defeat Shouchun, how will you cross the Yangtze River?"

"Chu Feng is not like Lu Bu. Even if the lord gathers all his strength to fight against him, at most he can win the north of the Yangtze River, and he will retreat to the south of the Yangtze River."

"And this battle is destined to be protracted. Once our army gets into the quagmire in Shouchun, it will be impossible to retreat and fight Yuan Shao again."

Speaking of this, Xun You said earnestly: "My lord, although the two Yuans are capable, you must clearly distinguish who is the main enemy at present."

"Chu Feng just lives in a corner, a land of several counties. And once Yuan Shao breaks through Yijing, he will occupy Qingyou and Jizhou, with millions of armor, how can he let him go?"

"You think that you should take the initiative to make peace with Chu Feng and make him a marquis general. As for the mere Guangling, which is sparsely populated, it is better to cede it to him as a favor."

"And my lord, while Gongsun Zan is still alive and the two wings are approaching, when the time is right, you can go straight to Yecheng with thunderous momentum and fight Yuan Shao to the death!"

"Yuan Shao is destroyed, the world has [-] states, and the lord monopolizes eight states. When the time comes, the lord will lead the world, and I am afraid that Yangzhou, Jingzhou, etc. will surrender without a fight!"

Xun You's words are sonorous and powerful!
And after he finished speaking, all the generals of Cao Jun bowed their heads in shame. Xun You was right. They were brave enough to take down Shouchun, but they were expecting to cross the river?
Guo Jia stroked his beard and nodded. Judging from his expression, it should be quite different from what he thought.

Cao Cao lamented that his subordinate Er Xun was really awesome, a talented person who helped him stabilize the rear, and was invincible in strategy and tactics.

Tsk tsk, awesome!
But the only bad thing is that they are all from the Yingchuan faction, and almost all of the clerks under my command are from Yingchuan.
But it will also become a burden in the future!
This is what worries those in power the most.

The birds are all hidden, and the rabbits and dogs are never absent. Otherwise, the faction in Yingchuan will be too big. Cao Cao even planned in his heart to wait for the opportunity to move the capital to Luoyang or Yecheng after taking Yecheng.

At the very least, it can reduce the control of the Yingchuan faction and support some new factions by the way.

"Gongda's words made me suddenly come to my senses." Cao Cao laughed heartily, "It's just a mere Chu Feng, let him develop, it's just a corner, nothing to worry about!"

"Then cede Guangling and Chu Feng, and send someone to negotiate peace with them."

"Isn't he lecherous? If he's still worried at that time, I can send my third daughter Cao Hua to Shouchun. It's better for Qin Jin than all of them!"

Cao Cao was not stingy. Cao Hua's appearance was taken seriously by his daughter, but she was famously beautiful.The Book of Later Han specifically recorded Cao Hua's beauty,

The teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, the skin is like creamy fat, and she smiles sweetly.

"My lord is wise!"

All civil and military officials spoke together.

"My lord, since Gongda has already stated the strategic layout, why not send Chu Feng as an envoy on this trip?" Guo Jia said with a light smile and stroked his beard.

"Feng Xiao, the traitor of Chu is treacherous, I am worried that he will harm you!" Cao Cao hesitated, somewhat guilty.

"My lord, Chu Feng was born in a famous family, and he is also a vassal. If I meet him in the name of an envoy, how would he dare to harm me? Will you not be afraid that people in the world will laugh at you?"

Guo Jia disagreed,

It is an agreement that the two armies will not be beheaded when they fight.

He even had to send someone to protect the envoy's safety, not to mention that Chu Feng was from a famous family, if he did some shady deeds, his face would be shamed!

"Forget it, then Feng Xiao will be your envoy this time. Remember, don't be careless!" Cao Cao said to the side after finishing speaking, "Le Jin, you will protect the military adviser during this trip!"

"No!" Le Jin responded immediately.

"Feng Xiao, you go on this trip, rehabilitate Chu Feng's crimes, make him a general of Wei, be compared to Sangong, make Shouchun county marquis, lead Jiujiang prefect, and Yangzhou governor!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, then said immediately.

Huqi, Cheqi, and General Wei are three generals who rank higher than Sangong, and giving Chu Feng can be regarded as giving him face. What's more, Shouchun County is really a ten thousand household lord.

Of course, it's just a false name!
"Jia understands, but my lord, if Chu Feng raises some other demands, can Jia make a decision?" Guo Jia tried to ask, he had to grasp his own bargaining chip in this kind of negotiation.

"As long as it doesn't go too far, you can handle it all!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, he was still very assured of Guo Jia's ability to handle affairs.

"Since that's the case, Jia packs his bags and goes after him!" Guo Jia didn't want to linger, so he cupped his fists and said.

Because of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao chose to negotiate peace with Chu Feng. Historically, before Guandu, he also used his daughter to win over Sun Ce.

"Be careful on the road!" Cao Cao said something concerned, followed Guo Jia out of the mansion, and said: "Come here, go and bring my unique shadow, Feng Xiao, you ride it."

Guo Jia didn't say much, but he was very moved by what Cao Cao did to him.

You know, although Jueying is not as good as Chitu, it is still a good horse, a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights, the only thing I can do is to talk about this matter.

----

In a blink of an eye, it was noon two days later.

Guangling, where the later generations of Yangzhou are located.Located in Jianghai, the land is vast and rich in resources, but the population is sparsely populated. In the prosperous age, there were only a few hundred thousand people. After many wars, Guangling is not what it used to be.

At this moment, Guangling City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Gui was looking at the ancient books, but seeing the butler hurrying over, he couldn't help but put down the ancient books and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Patriarch, something is wrong, Chu Jun, Chu Jun is here, just outside the city!" The butler said anxiously with a nervous expression.

"What did you say? Chu Jun? Didn't the Chu Jun withdraw to Shou? Didn't Chu Feng not withdraw, but came directly to my Guangling?" Chen Gui narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"It must be so, Patriarch, what should we do now?" The steward was in a state of anxiety, and most of the soldiers and horses in the city were taken by Chen Deng to help Cao Cao.

There are only three thousand county soldiers in the city, how can they be the opponents of the Chu army.

"What are you panicking about?" Chen Gui shook his sleeves and shouted, then squinted his pupils and began to meditate. He was still not sure about Chu Feng's purpose for coming here.

But sticking to it is obviously the worst policy!

"In this case, you immediately send someone to inform Chen Deng, and ask him to try his best to get Cao Cao to send reinforcements. I will meet this Chu Feng at the top of the city right now!"

Chen Gui said decisively.

Then, he took the county soldiers from the city to the city.

He and Yuan Shu were good friends, but because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and wanted him to assist him, he refused. Since then, they have turned against each other, and they have some grievances with the Yuan family.

Among them, the most famous one is that he and Chen Deng persuaded Lu Bu to kill Yuan Shu's envoy's head.

In a few moments, on the top of the city.

Chu Feng stood in front of the army, holding a war halberd.

Next to him, Yan Xiang said in a deep voice: "Master, there are absolutely not many defenders in Guangling City, but Chen Gui and Yuan Gong are old acquaintances, and they even have a lot of grievances!"

"Is there a grievance? Hehe, then it's easy to deal with, then use this as an excuse to ransack his house!" Chu Feng looked gloomy. He is not a good person.

Leaving aside Chen Deng's support for Cao Cao, Chen Deng has outstanding abilities. Although he is not well-known in later generations and mostly looks like a wretch in film and television dramas, this person is absolutely outstanding.

If you let it go, what is your prestige?
"My lord, don't be reckless. Chen Yu and his son Chen Deng are the strongest family in Xuzhou. If the Chen family is wiped out, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for my lord to settle in Xuzhou in the future."

Yan Xiang quickly explained.

"That's true!" Chu Feng pursed his lips in embarrassment. It's a pity that he couldn't kill the Chens and his sons, but killing them didn't seem to be a good thing.

After all, Chen Deng was in Xiapi. Wouldn't he be completely united with Cao Cao by killing Chen Deng himself?
"Nephew, you really make me want to see you. Ever since I knew Brother Gonglu has you as the eldest son, I've wanted to see you for a long time,"

"Seeing you today, it really is a boy born from a hero." Chen Gui was over half a hundred years old, and he was the kind of person who talked to people when he saw people, and shouted with a smile on his surface.

"Hehe!" Chu Feng chuckled lightly, and continued, "My little nephew has already arrived at the city, wouldn't Uncle Chen open the city gate to welcome him?"

"Nephew, the fine armor behind you makes my heart tremble. If you are alone, Uncle Chen will definitely entertain you today!" Chen Gui said with a light smile.

"If Chen Bo thinks, then my nephew will enter the city alone!"

Chen Gui: "???"

The corner of his mouth twitched, he couldn't fix it!
Good guy, don't play the cards according to the routine, aren't you afraid of being alone?But thinking of all kinds of Chu Feng's rumors, plus his halberd,
Chen Gui shrank his head, a little timid at first!

There is no way, Chen Gui is afraid that the group of miscellaneous soldiers behind him will not be able to do anything if he often single-handedly rushes into battle, kills hundreds of people, and single-handedly defeats the enemy!
"Cough cough, Xian, nephew, it's so good!"

"Counsel!" Chu Feng shouted loudly in front of countless people.

He thought that Chen Gui would dare to try his own words, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even dare to keep himself alone.

"Listen to the defenders in the city, Chen Gui is a member of the Chen family, no one can do anything to him, but you are as cheap as ants, you can be punished at any time, if you want to live, you should go back to the camp and wait!"

Chu Feng raised his halberd, pointed and shouted angrily.

As the words came out, countless soldiers showed a bit of panic.

"Decree, all the ministries set up camp, build siege equipment, and break Guangling for me in three days." Chu Feng turned his head and looked at the armored warrior behind him.

Chu Feng could see the exhaustion and weariness on the faces of these people. He had to seize the time to take down Guangling and go back for repairs. If he went on like this, he would definitely lose.

"Promise!" All the generals responded in unison.

Immediately, the generals of the various ministries began to settle down their subordinates and set up simple camps, focusing on building siege equipment.

However, every move of the Chu army was orderly, and it also made the county soldiers on the top of the city beat their hearts when they saw it. It would be useful for them to hang a bandit.

To really fight against these elite divisions is like hitting a stone with an egg, and they will definitely be vulnerable.

The heat outside the city was in full swing, and the inside of the city was also busy. They began to move all kinds of rolling logs and rocks for defending the city. Obviously, Chen Gui wanted to defend Guangling to the death.

And for a long time, not far outside the city.

A group of dozens of riders came, and the leader was Guo Jia. At this moment, he looked at the Chu army standing in the distance, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and finally caught up.

"Go, report to Chu Feng, and tell Cao Cao's envoy, Guo Jia, to see him!"
