Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 290 The generals are fighting all over the world, and they are really our masters! [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

In the post house.

The crowd gathered together.

Cao Ang sat at the top, with Xun Yu, Xun You and other old subordinates on his left, and three talents introduced by Xun Yu, including Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, on his right.

At the moment above the hall.

A servant brought the boiled tea soup.

It's just that Guo Jia held the tea bowl full of tea soup, took a look inside, and couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"General, do you have some fine wine?"

"Today, we were lucky enough to meet General Tianyan and the legendary General Cao Zixiu, who is famous in both civil and martial arts, and has both ability and political integrity."

"Such a beautiful thing should be cleared up, so why drink some tasteless tea soup."

Listening to such words.

Cao Ang couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Looking at Guo Jia's rather pale face, and then at the slightly swollen bags under the eyes, Cao Ang couldn't help but frowned slightly.

It's not that he can't bear to drink.

Instead, look at Guo Jia's physical weakness and discomfort, his body is obviously hollowed out, and he still has to drink heavily, what should he do if he drinks something wrong?
But now, after all, they met for the first time.

It's not too familiar to say familiar.

If it is refused, or if it is said to persuade, it will inevitably be a bit inappropriate.

So after a little thought.

Cao Ang still chose to ask someone to warm up a pot of good wine, and then poured some for everyone present, but Xi Zhicai's bowl was still full of tea soup.

This buddy is weak, but unlike Guo Jia, he will take care of himself spontaneously.

……

Although wine hurts the body.

But drinking in moderation does have a great effect on invigorating the atmosphere and bringing the relationship closer to each other.

After a few glasses of wine.

Guo Jiana's face, which looked a little pale before, now had a tinge of red light, and his whole person became much more energetic.

At the same time, he no longer talked as little as before, but instead took the initiative to reveal some information to Cao Ang.

"To tell you the truth, general, before leaving, I actually went north to visit Yuan Shao's place in Bohai Sea. I just left in a happy mood, but returned disappointed."

"Although Yuan's name is great, he is not a good person, and he is not a place for me to settle down, so I stayed there for a short time, and I set off to return."

"I just arrived at home not long ago, and I am planning to live in seclusion for a few years to recuperate, and I will go out again when the situation in the world becomes clear and major events change."

"Unexpectedly, before I lived in seclusion, Wen Ruo's letter was sent to my desk, saying that the general is a rare wise master in the world, so I rushed all the way from Yangzhai County to visit the general."

Guo Jia is like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

In two or three words, he told his situation.

And Cao Ang heard that Guo Jia had gone north and stayed with Yuan Shao for a while.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Quite curiously, he asked: "In the first half of this year, I led troops to fight in Jizhou, during which time I had many contacts with Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu."

"But I don't know that Feng Xiao was under Yuan Benchu's command at that time, otherwise why did we meet so late!"

……

Guo Jia raised his glass again and drank it down in one gulp.

The red light on his face became more intense.

Then he looked at Cao Ang with a smile, showing some meaningful expressions.

Then he said leisurely: "The general doesn't know me, but I know you so well!"

"You fought all over Jizhou, and played a few clever moves one after another. Even if you are a hero like Gongsun Zan, with a life experience like Yuan Benchu, you just let you play around. How much admiration I have for you at that time!"

Guo Jia sighed for no reason.

Immediately, Cao Ang suddenly raised his head and stared at him with piercing eyes, which really seemed to be admiring.

However, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yan and others didn't know much about Cao Ang before. They only knew some deeds of Cao Ang through rumors and rumors in the world, but they were not very clear about the specifics.

That's why Guo Jia said so.

Both of them looked at Guo Jia with their eyes, their ears were pricked up, and they waited attentively for the next sentence.

After all, there is a high probability that they will defect to Cao Ang's command and follow him.

If you can learn more about this person, everyone will have more confidence and confidence.

If not.

Then you have to run away as soon as possible.

……

"Feng Xiao made a joke. When I was in Jizhou, I just did it casually. How can I manipulate others in the palm of my hand? What about the so-called swaying comments?"

Cao Ang also wanted to test Guo Jia's ability.

Therefore, he did not admit it frankly.

Instead, he opened his mouth to excuse and cover up.

After hearing Cao Ang's response, Guo Jia, who was already a little bit drunk, smiled brightly.

"Why should the general be too modest!"

"You led your troops to the north, nominally responding to Jizhou Mu Hanfu's request, mediating the war within Jizhou, and restoring Jizhou to peace and stability."

"But in fact, according to the information I have collected and careful observation, from the time you went north to the end of the Jizhou incident, you have been gaining more along the way."

"On the other hand, Yuan Benchu, Gongsun Zan and others have changed from being determined to forge ahead to being mired in the mud. Now they are even more restricting each other. Even if they want to move, they can't move."

Speaking of it.

Guo Jia finally put down his glass.

After taking a deep breath, he continued, "When you first entered Jizhou, you received Wei Commandery from Jizhou Mu Hanfu. At that time, after I got the news, I didn't think too deeply about it."

"But after the talks in Nangong County, you won the Qinghe Kingdom again, and Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchu ​​only divided each other in half, and the territory itself is deeply controlled by them, and there is nothing else."

"It seems that everyone is in peace, but in fact, after you won the two counties, General, you easily withdrew and left the battlefield, while Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are completely bordering each other. There are constant defenses and disputes every day. Even if you want to get away and do something else, it is impossible."

"In this way, how can we not see the brilliance of the general, manipulating people's hearts like a chess piece in his hand?"

……

The voice just fell.

Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yan looked at Cao Ang with shining eyes, with admiration on their faces.

Although Guo Jia's narration didn't have too many details, they didn't know exactly how Cao Ang operated.

But only with these few words.

It can be heard that Cao Ang's strategy is superb.

Who is Gongsun Zan?
That is the famous White Horse General who has guarded the border of Youzhou for many years, beating so that the barbarians dare not go south to herd horses, and the soldiers dare not bend their bows and complain.

As for Yuan Shao, it was even worse.

Noble and famous, the son of the Yuan family, four generations and three princes, his disciples and old officials are all over the world. I don't know how many civil and military heroes have traveled thousands of miles to join him.

Such two top figures.

In the hands of General Cao Angcao, it is like a puppet clay sculpture, raising hands and feet, all under the control of silk threads, losing troops and breaking generals, but it is a wedding dress for others.

Well enough to see.

General Cao is even more clever than the above two, and he is more than a step above in terms of means and structure, and he has great potential.

Such a character, no matter how you think about it, is worth following. If you follow him to conquer the world and gallop across the borders, you must have a bright future in the future.

……

Regarding Guo Jia's words, the other two really established that they wanted to stay and serve themselves, but Cao Ang didn't know about it.

He was only after Guo Jia's voice fell.

He couldn't help but let out a burst of hearty laughter.

Having said that, there is no need for him to cover up anymore, Guo Jia has exposed his old background, and he still hides it, so he will inevitably appear petty.

"Feng Xiao is really a great talent. Yuan Shao and others didn't see through my carefully prepared plan, but unexpectedly, you saw through it."

This statement came out.

Guo Jia smiled and bowed to Cao Ang.

Immediately, it was partly recalling, partly sighing: "Actually, after discovering the general's plan, I thought about making a suggestion to Yuan Shao, asking him to go all out with courage."

"If it succeeds, it will break the deadlock and even gain the upper hand; if it fails, it will be nothing more than returning to Bohai County. In any case, it will not be worse than the current situation."

"It's just that Yuan Benchu, although he recruits talents from all over the world, imitates Duke Zhou and respects the corporals, he is cautious and never takes priority. He is good at planning and less decisive. Whenever the people under his command disagree, he often vacillates for several days. This is really not the appearance of a famous master."

"So after much deliberation, I finally chose not to say a word, bid farewell to Yuan Benchu, and returned to my hometown safely."

Guo Jia's words made Cao Ang raise his eyebrows.

have to say.

If Guo Jia really made this statement and Yuan Shao really accepted the plan, then there would definitely be a lot of trouble for him.

Not to mention the final result.

At least it is impossible for me to get out of the quagmire of Jizhou so quickly and turn to attack Yuzhou.

After all, if Yuan Shao really wants to give it a go.

No one can ignore it.

Think about it here.

Cao Ang couldn't help but glanced at Guo Jia, and nodded approvingly at random. This kid's self-display successfully aroused Cao Ang's interest.

Such talents are worthy of reuse.

……

While Cao Ang was thinking.

Another voice suddenly sounded in the ear.

"Although I don't know the specifics of what happened, but judging from Brother Feng Xiao's description, I think even if Feng Xiao submits this suggestion to Yuan Shao, it may be difficult to change anything."

"For General Cao, there will be troubles, but the failure of the plan because of this is far from impossible!"

Hearing this all of a sudden.

Everyone couldn't help turning their heads to look.

The person who spoke was Xi Zhicai who hadn't spoken much since entering the room.

He had been listening carefully just now.

And after confirming that Cao Ang is a wise master, he deserves to follow with all his strength.

Xi Zhicai decided to speak just now, and also showed off his skills in front of Cao Ang.

After all, it was a two-way choice for a subject to defect to the lord. Now that he is very satisfied with Cao Ang, it is natural that Cao Ang must approve him.

Otherwise, even if there is a heavy recommendation from Xun Yu, it doesn't mean anything, and whether it will be reused in the future depends on Cao Ang's arrangement.

This is why he jumped out to attract attention at this time.

as predicted.

Following Xi Zhicai's voice fell.

Cao Ang asked with some interest: "Why did Zhicai make such a statement, why don't you explain it in detail."

……

Xi Zhicai stood up unhurriedly, and bowed his hands to everyone present.

Then he coughed dryly or twice.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "I have never been in contact with Yuan Shao, and I don't know what kind of person he is, so I will not mention what Brother Feng Xiao said about planning without making decisions, and being indecisive when things happen."

"Just talking about the situation in Jizhou, for Yuan Shao, his biggest enemy is Gongsun Zan, who is on the side of the couch, with strong troops and horses, and strong strength."

"No matter what General Cao's plan is, for Yuan Shao who is deeply threatened by Gongsun Zan, your entry will only be beneficial and not harmful."

"With the General, you have intervened in Jizhou's affairs, at least you have completely contained Gongsun Zan's attempts to seize the entire Jizhou, and greatly relieved Yuan Shao's pressure, allowing him to maintain the current balance of power."

"Conversely, once Gongsun Zan really fights hard, the possibility of success is actually slim. On the contrary, after General Cao is forced to withdraw from the game, Yuan Shao is left alone. How should he deal with Gongsun Zan?"

Perhaps he spoke too hastily.

And with the narration of words, the whole person's emotions are a little excited.

So when it comes to this.

Xi Zhicai couldn't help coughing violently a few times.

Until Xun Yu brought tea soup for him, and the warm water moistened his throat.

Only then did he continue to state: "So in my opinion, whether Yuan Shao sees your plan or not, General, he can't change the outcome of this matter."

"Even if brother Feng Xiao really offered a plan, Yuan Shao would not adopt it, because he couldn't afford to gamble, and there was no need to abandon a peaceful and stable situation."

"Unless he wants to completely overthrow the table case, tear up the entire situation in Jizhou, and rebuild it, the general's plan will not be hindered in any way."

……

That's all.

Guo Jia couldn't help turning his head away.

He looked Xi Zhicai up and down a few times, stared at him with deep eyes for a long time, and then slowly turned his head back.

It seems that there will be one more competitor in the future!
Although everyone is Xun Yu's friend, but a friend's friend does not mean that he is my friend.

What's more, unlike the elders of the Cao family like Xun Yu, who have an unshakable status, both of them are newcomers and have not made any achievements.

belong to the same batch.

Then what kind of height can be reached in the future, what kind of treatment will be obtained, these are all to be contended for, after all, the high position in a power is limited.

Not to mention what Guo Jiazuo thought.

Just talk about Cao Ang.

At this moment, I was secretly happy.

Sure enough, just like what I thought at the beginning, the sick and weak gentleman in front of me is also a capable, far-sighted, and far-sighted person.

He and Guo Jia took different paths.

Guo Jia is good at making decisions, and he is quite open-minded. If he has an idea, he will do it to the end.

Xi Zhicai is good at deducing the general trend and discovering the real subtleties.

At the very least, the true relationship between Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and the three forces represented by him cannot be judged by anyone who is not knowledgeable.

After owning Guo Jia.

To get such a talent again.

How could Cao Ang not be happy?
……

He immediately patted the table with his hand, and then laughed loudly.

"Zhicai really has extraordinary insight. In fact, before planning this matter, I have already determined Yuan Shao's possible reaction."

"The main reason is that Gongsun Zan pressed him every step of the way. I am sure that Yuan Shao will definitely point all his spearheads at Gongsun's army."

"If it weren't for this, I really wouldn't dare to get involved in the chaos in Jizhou. After all, compared to the other two parties, my strength is still a bit weaker."

After roughly summarizing.

Cao Ang glanced at the three of them.

Then he smiled happily: "If Wen Ruo invites you to come here, I must have mentioned to you why."

"I don't know, what do you all think, are you willing to join me, and work with me to clean up the world, return the Han court, the common people, the peace and tranquility!"
