Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 139 Jia Xu, are you afraid?

While Chen Qun was crying, he secretly glanced at Jia Xu. Jia Xu lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, as if he was asleep, without any reaction.

In anger, Cao Cao accidentally injured Xiahou Dun. His mood, which was originally like charcoal, immediately cooled down, and his mind instantly calmed down.

But he is a character who will never admit his mistakes, so how can he admit that he hurt others.He just nodded and ordered Xia Houyuan to drag his brother down and treat his injuries in time.

At this moment, hearing Chen Qun cry so deeply and touchingly, I felt much calmer.He inserted the sword in his hand into the scabbard on his waist and sighed: "Changwen, please get up!"

"This is not your fault. You were sent as an envoy to Jiangdong under my order to drive a wedge between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. You have completed your task perfectly."

"The only blame is that Zhuge Wende!"

When Zhuge Wende was mentioned, Cao Cao's already calm heart suddenly became unable to remain calm at this moment.

"If it hadn't been for Zhuge Wende's plan, Zhang Liao would never have been captured with all [-] troops and horses under his command, and none of them would have survived!"

"This man outsmarts ghosts and gods, and plots like a ghost. It's simply unbelievable! If I don't kill him, I will die in his hands sooner or later!"

Xun You said: "Prime Minister, now is not the time to vent your anger. Zhang Liao has been captured by Guan Yu. The Hefei front line in Jiangdong has no leader, so it is naturally impossible to use troops. The most important thing is how to get Wenyuan out."

Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao also said in unison: "Zhang Liao is an outstanding general of our army because of his wisdom and bravery. The Prime Minister cannot risk his life!"

Among the other generals, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Zhang He, Xu Huang, etc., who usually have a very good relationship with Zhang Liao, they all knelt down in front of Cao Cao at this moment, asking to fight Jiangxia and recapture Zhang Liao.

But these people were all northern generals who were used to fighting on the fly. Not only had they never led a naval force, they rarely even built boats.

How big is the difference between asking them to unite their troops to fight against Jiangxia and Poyang's naval forces, and Wangjiang feeding the fishes in his heart?

Cao Cao was breathing heavily, his nostrils suddenly getting bigger and smaller, expanding and contracting from time to time with the rhythm of his breathing.

Although he has strong soldiers and horses, he will never allow unnecessary sacrifices.

"Report!"

"A letter from Jingzhou! It's for the Prime Minister."

Xia Houen, the swordsman carrying the sword, stood outside the big tent door and shouted loudly.

Although he is also a favored person, only a few high-level officials can participate in the meetings in the big tent. Although he is the prime minister's confidant, he cannot enter or leave the big tent at any time without being summoned.

"Bring it in!"

Cao Cao stood at the foot of the steps, took the letter from Xia Houen's hand, and opened it.He threw the letter on the ground and held the paper in both hands. However, he was so angry that he had no intention of reading it carefully. He handed the letter to Xia Houen again: "To be honest, there is no need to be cryptic. Let the generals hear what Zhuge Wende's plot is to harm him." I."

"Prime Minister Cao: Last time Chen Qun, the imperial censor, visited Jiangdong to seek benefits for me in Jiangdong. 50 stones of grain and grass arrived in Fancheng from Poyang yesterday. The food crisis in Fancheng has been resolved!"

"I know the Prime Minister's intention, and I am not far away taking advantage of the danger of others to attack Fan City. Therefore, I want to solve the food shortage problem in Fan City and have a showdown with the hungry Southern Barbarian soldiers. The Prime Minister is so high-spirited and honest, Zhuge admires him very much."

"I have let Chen Qun go, and he must have entered Wancheng by now. But Zhang Liao is brave and wants to fight with me to the death. Therefore, we raised troops in Jiangxia and captured him alive."

"Zhang Liao is indeed loyal and loyal. He refuses to surrender and would rather die for the prime minister. But I cannot bear to kill him, but I am afraid that my subordinates will not listen and execute him privately."

"If the prime minister misses Zhang Liao's great achievements with you in the past, he can send his eldest son Cao Pi or his third son Cao Zhi to Jingzhou to replace his generals."

"If I get one of these two, I will send Zhang Liao back immediately."

"But if the Prime Minister feels that all the officials are worthless, the family is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and Zhang Liao is of no importance. Then I am willing to fulfill Zhang Liao's loyalty. On a good and auspicious day, I will escort him to the riverside for execution. Let his soul never leave the water, travel thousands of miles to repay his kindness, and sooner or later his soul will die. I can also come back to you!"

"What's the matter? Please make your own decision, Prime Minister. There is no need to reply!"

"Zhuge Wende pays homage to Prime Minister Cao again!"

After Xia Houen finished reading, he gently returned the desk that Cao Cao had kicked down the stairs to its place. Then he put the letter on the desk, turned around and set up the account, and stood at the door waiting for the summons at any time.

Whoa!
The military attache was agitated, yelling and cursing angrily, and it was noisy.

Among the civil servants, the five great counselors suddenly fell into panic!

"Zhuge Wende!"

"This plan is so poisonous that the Prime Minister cannot move forward or retreat. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, it will hurt people!"

"poison!"

"It's really poisonous!"

Jia Xu silently muttered that he was becoming increasingly powerless against the powerful opponent in front of him.

It's the third watch of the night, the flags in the Wancheng camp are silent, and there is no sound from the hangings.

In the three-hundred-mile camp, there are only bonfire basins set up every few dozen feet. They are not completely extinguished at this moment, and occasionally there are sparks that flicker.

Looking from a distance, the huge camp looks like a sky covered with stars.

And in the middle of the sky is the brightest and most dazzling moon.

At this moment, Cao Cao is the moon.In his big tent, the bonfire was bright, shining like daylight.

But under such a warm and bright bonfire, Cao Cao's face looked particularly gloomy and cold.

Zhuge Wende!

Cao Cao threw the piece of paper with these four words on it to the ground and crushed it with his feet, but his hatred was still strong and it was difficult to vent it.

"choke!"

Cao Cao once again pulled out the Yitian sword that had injured Xiahou Dun during the day, and threw it with all his strength. The entire sword peak penetrated the ground, and nailed the piece of paper with "Zhuge Wende" written on it to the ground!

A few days ago, you did this, nailing my [-] soldiers sent to Hefei to death in the river and becoming your prisoners!

It's you!Combining southern barbarian voodoo to harm my son Cao Chong!

It's you!He killed Ma Teng and put the blame on me, and sent Ma Chao's army south to invade Xuchang, which made me exhausted and embarrassed!

Although Cao Cao was not sure who was responsible for Cao Chong's death or Ma Teng's death, he was accustomed to blaming one person for all crimes until the real culprit was found.

He is more accustomed to blaming these crimes on the one person he hates the most.Because in his opinion, the more he hates a person, the more he can stimulate his own potential to defeat that person!

He even regards this method as a kind of self-motivation!
Zhuge Wende!

At the beginning, he still had illusions about Zhuge Wende, hoping to recruit him under his command and use him for his own purposes.But after these events, he has become very clear that Zhuge Wende is his lifelong enemy, and it will never be possible to coexist peacefully!
It's you!Zhuge Wende!
The capture of my general Zhang Liao left me with no general available in Hefei on the eastern front, just like a useless arm.

When he thought of Zhang Liao, Cao Cao became angrier. He bent down and pulled out his sword again. He stabbed Zhuge Wende's name in jealousy with the sword. Finally, he slashed out with force, splitting the paper in half and scattering it on both sides.

As if Zhuge Wende was really cut into pieces at this moment, the fury in Cao Cao's heart was relieved. He threw the sword in his hand to the ground and stretched out his hand to hold the table.

After all this trouble, Cao Cao felt weak all over, stars were rising in front of his eyes, and he was dizzy.

"Prime Minister, if the Prime Minister can rule the world in ten years, I will try my best to help you. If he can't in ten years, I'm afraid..."

Cao Cao recalled Xun Yu's desolate words when he visited Xun Lingjun's residence before leaving.At this moment, he suddenly felt tired and old.Maybe in another ten years, I may not be able to lead the troops to fight and conquer the world like this.

No matter how heroic you are, you cannot escape the polishing of time.

The old man has his ambitions for thousands of miles, and the martyrs are full of ambition in their old age!
What's the use of being ambitious?If I don't carry the three-foot sword, conquer the world, sweep across the wilderness, and die, my soul will be unwilling!

ten years?

What if I can't fulfill my long-cherished wish in ten years?
Cao Pi is similar to me, but he lacks intelligence and is too scheming. It would be very difficult for him to inherit my legacy.

Cao Zhi had great literary talent, but was ill-informed in political affairs. He had been deeply influenced by Yang Xiu for many years. He acted wildly but was weak and could be bullied. He was a typical useless scholar.

Cao Zhang?A brave man is not enough to achieve great things...

"If the Prime Minister misses Zhang Liao's great achievements with you in the past, he can send his eldest son Cao Pi or his third son Cao Zhi to Jingzhou to replace his generals!"

Thinking of the heir, his ears suddenly heard again the mention in Zhuge Wende's letter about the exchange of horses and generals to save Zhang Liao.

Zhang Wenyuan is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, a rare talent with both wisdom and courage.

Looking at all the generals under his command, there is no one like Zhang Liao.Among other generals, Cao Ren is the only one who can be so handsome and handsome as Zhang Liao.

However, Cao Ren has more than enough courage but lacks in resourcefulness. To defend the city and lead the troops, Cao Cao still needs long-distance advice and reminders.

But Zhang Liao was not like that. He was resourceful and resourceful, and he came up with strategies one after another.Cao Cao appointed him as the coach of Hefei because he valued his extraordinary ability.

Such a fierce general is rare, so how can we not save him?

What's more, all the civil servants and generals in public have heard Zhuge Wende's letter and are aware of this matter.

If he refuses to change generals, he will see Zhang Liao killed by Liu Bei.I'm just afraid that all the generals will be saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes, and things will hurt their own kind, so they will never work for themselves wholeheartedly again.

How can the world be at peace if the morale of the army is weakened and morale is damaged?

However, if he really sends his son to Jingzhou, whether it is Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, his troops will be at the gates one day.How can we fight this battle if we throw a weapon at the enemy?
That is a way of giving someone a handle and destroying one's own life, which must not be done!

"Zhongkang, go and invite Jia Xu!"

Cao Cao hesitated and couldn't decide. He turned around and came to the tent door and shouted loudly.

"Here!"

As Cao Cao's personal guard, Xu Chu's small tent was just a few feet away from Cao Cao's big tent.After hearing Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu stood up, made a promise, went out of the tent and mounted his horse, naked, and went to invite Jia Xu without wearing any clothes.

The residence of the five great counselors is also in Zhongjun, not far away.In just a cup of tea, Jia Xu arrived at Cao Cao's camp at Xu Chu's urging.

"Wenhe, Weiye invited you here, don't be offended."

Cao Cao said apologetically while gesturing for Jia Xu to sit down.

"My lord, what are your orders? I should do my best, how can I dare to be resentful?"

Jia Xu saluted respectfully and did not dare to sit down. He stood with his hands lowered and lowered his head and said.

"Zhuge Wende's letter, you also heard it during the day, what do you think?"

Jia Xu sighed deeply and said: "This is Zhuge Wende's poisonous plan. He wants the prime minister to chill the hearts of the generals because of this incident, and to alienate the relationship between the prime minister and his ministers."

Cao Cao said distressedly: "I sent Chen Qun to Jiangdong with the intention of driving a wedge between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan. Unexpectedly, it backfired. Not only did Xiahou De fall, but my general Zhang Liao was also implicated. Now he is trapped in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang is in trouble." Wen De is reaping the benefits of being a fisherman, using this as bait to resort to alienation tactics."

Jia Xu looked calm and said with great respect: "Although Zhou Yu is young, he has gone through many storms, experienced the world, and is extremely resourceful. My lord underestimated him. I sent Chen Qun there that day, but I thought it was unacceptable, and did not dare to speak out against him. Prime Minister. As long as the news of Zhang Liao's capture is exposed, Sun Quan's doubts about Zhou Yu will be wiped away. Then Chen Qun's trip will be in vain, but he will destroy Xiahou De and Zhang Liao out of thin air."

He blamed Cao Cao in every sentence, but he did not mention Cao Cao in any sentence.His words were extremely fierce, but his demeanor was extremely respectful.It doesn't make Cao Cao angry, nor does it make him angry.

"Zhou Yu's son is capricious. Zhuge's reputation for virtue and his frequent vicious schemes make me upset."

Cao Cao did not reflect on himself and admit his mistakes. Instead, he placed all the blame on Zhou Yu and Zhuge Wende.

Jia Xu seemed to have been used to it for a long time and didn't mind. He still stood there respectfully, with his head lowered and his eyebrows lowered, expressionless.

"But how should we decide this matter? Please teach me Wen He."

Cao Cao stood up and walked gently to Jia Xu's side. The two were so close that they could even hear each other's heartbeats.

Jia Xu lowered his head and remained silent.

"Wen He, how should I deal with this matter? Please give me some advice."

Cao Cao paused and then continued: "In the dead of night, only heaven and earth are here with you and me. When it comes out of your mouth and into my ears, you and I know about heaven and earth, and we will never let a third person know."

Cao Cao was reluctant and stared at Jia Xu, waiting for his response.

a long time.

Jia Xu suddenly sighed, slowly raised his head, and looked at Cao Cao, his eyes full of desolation.

"Lord!"

"I used to follow Zhang Xiu and was an enemy of my lord. During the Battle of Wancheng, my lord's eldest son Cao Ang unfortunately passed away. I regretted it all day long and felt guilty every day."

"If it's anything else, I should make plans for my lord. Only if it involves my lord's children. I'm heartbroken. When I heard this, I felt so confused that I was in a state of confusion."

Jia Xu's face showed pain, he held his head with both hands and his brows knitted together.

Cao Cao consoled him and said: "Wen He, why do you mention him about the past? How could I ever blame you? I didn't expect you to carry such a heavy burden every day..."

Jia Xu calmed down, raised his head and said, "I can't really do anything about this matter. I hope the prime minister will forgive me..."

Cao Cao turned his eyes and looked at Jia Xu, but Jia Xu lowered his head helplessly, and his eyes no longer made direct contact with him.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I'm in trouble for you. You can go back and rest. There's no need to tell others about this."

Cao Cao sighed, turned his back, and never looked at Jia Xu again.

"Wei Chen retire."

Jia Xu bowed and bowed, then slowly withdrew.

When Cao Cao waited for Jia Xu to leave the tent, he suddenly turned around, walked to the tent door, and looked through the crack in the door.

I saw Jia Xu alone, still unhurriedly and silently like a ghost, walking on the dust to the counselor's tent.

"Why are you so upset and so regretful!"

"You just want to stay out of it and don't want to cause trouble!"
