"Cao Cao... Mr. Cao, he really meant that." Li Jue looked uncertain, as if he was struggling in his heart.

Jia Xu sighed secretly, this Li Jue is really muddy and can't support the wall, since he decided to surrender, he still couldn't bear to call the other party the lord, but called him Cao Gong.This person is so narrow-minded, but has no great talent, he deserves to be used as an outcast.

In fact, when Li Jue asked Jia Xu to ask for the result, Jia Xu only said one sentence to Li Jue: "Mr. Cao wants to send troops to attack Zhang Ji's department tomorrow. He doesn't expect my lord to lead the army to help him, but I only hope that my lord can stand on the sidelines then." view."

This sentence was spoken very well, and it sounded like an order given by the superior to his subordinates after Cao Cao allowed Li Jue to surrender, so Li Jue also subconsciously thought that Cao Cao had already agreed to his request to surrender.But in fact, Cao Cao did not make any commitment to surrender.

Therefore, Li Jue was inevitably tragic.

Li Jue was hesitating, he and Zhang Ji were both generals under Dong Zhuo's command in the past, although the friendship between them was not very deep, it was not shallow.Zhang Ji's army was not many, only a few thousand men. If Cao Cao's nearly [-] army wanted to destroy it, it would be easy, if not easy.Should I really just watch from the sidelines and not offer any help?

"Wenhe thinks, should I follow Duke Cao's instructions?" Li Jue looked at Jia Xu, wanting to hear his opinion again.

"Should." Jia Xu said bluntly without raising her head.

Li Jue didn't expect Jia Xu to answer so simply, and judging from his tone, his attitude towards him now can even be said to be a little casual.Li Jue was quite dissatisfied with this, wouldn't he just recognize Cao Cao as the master in the future, and he would be unwelcome so soon?

Of course, Li Jue also knew that since he chose to submit to Cao Cao, he should not have other thoughts.However, perhaps out of instinct, Li Jue always felt that this matter was not as simple as what he saw so far, and there was always a sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart, which could not go away.

"Perhaps, we should send someone to inform Zhang Ji. It's a moral act. Wen He, what do you think of this?" Sending troops to help Zhang Ji resist Cao Cao is definitely not an option, so should we remind the other party in advance and let him retreat first? Run away, it probably won't be a problem.If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Ji and Cao Cao had a grudge against their nephew, Li Jue would even have thought about sending someone to Zhang Ji's camp to persuade the other party to surrender with him.After all, I don't have many acquaintances in Cao Ying, so it would be nice to have one more person to take care of each other.

"Former general, Chi Yanghou." Facing Li Jue's question, Jia Xu just spit out these six words from his mouth.

Hearing these two nouns, Li Jue was immediately discouraged.Jia Xu is obviously advising himself that if he wants to keep the official title he seeks, then don't meddle in his own business.

"However, if my lord is interested, I would like to go to the camp of General Zhang Ji, state my interests, and persuade him to surrender." Just when Li Jue felt a little discouraged, Jia Xu said again, "If you can say that you will submit , Cao Gong must also be overjoyed."

"Wen He can really persuade Zhang Ji to surrender to Duke Cao?" Li Jue, who was a little disappointed before, immediately cheered up when he heard Jia Xu's words.

"I would like to try it." Jia Xu said with a very confident tone, which made Li Jue feel relieved.

—————————————————————————————————— "Li Jue, is it really so hateful!?" The deputy gritted his teeth, obviously hating to the extreme in his heart.

However, there was still a hint of doubt in his resentful face, obviously he did not fully believe what Jia Xu said.

"Everything Xu said is true." Jia Xu said calmly.

"You, what proof do you have?" Zhang Ji thought about it, but still felt that what Jia Xu said to him seemed unreliable.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, the general. When Cao Cao's army arrives, you can just wait for your own death." Jia Xu's tone was extremely calm, without any waves at all.

Facing such a calm Jia Xu, Zhang Ji panicked, and his mind was unavoidably a little messy.

Jia Xu suddenly ran over and said to himself that Cao Cao would send troops to beat him tomorrow.Under this situation, the ally Li Jue abandoned himself again, and in order to preserve his power and life, he chose to surrender to Cao Cao.When Cao Cao came to attack, it would be good for Li Jue to just sit back and watch, maybe he would step in and help Cao Cao deal with him.

Hearing such bad news, how could Zhang Ji not feel flustered.The combined strength of Cao Cao and Li Jue is as many as [-] troops. If they fight against him together, with only [-] soldiers under his command, they may not even be able to cause a wave on the battlefield. .In that case, how can I survive tomorrow?

"If General Zhang doesn't believe it, why don't you go and ask my lord for proof?"

"For proof? Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhang Ji said with a hesitant face at this time, "If Li Zhiran has the intention of throwing himself at Cao, if I go to see him right now, wouldn't that mean giving him the head to chop off in vain? ?”

"The general why worry so much, let's pretend to be the general." Seeing Zhang Ji's frightened expression, Jia Xu laughed and said, "If the general wants to see my lord, he must maintain a relaxed demeanor. If my lord wants to kill the general, the general will lie to my lord and say that he has surrendered Cao."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Ji's uneasiness subsided slightly.But later, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stared at Jia Xu and asked, "You are Li Jue's minister, why did you tell me what he was planning?"

In fact, Zhang Ji's attitude towards Jia Xu recently is not friendly, and the reason lies in his nephew Zhang Xiu.At first, Zhang Ji and Jia Xu had a little friendship, but when Dong Zhuo fled west to Chang'an, Zhang Ji followed Jia Xu's suggestion and asked his nephew Zhang Xiu to follow Xu Rong in ambush and pursue the soldiers in order to make meritorious deeds.Poor Zhang Xiu not only failed an inch in that battle, but was eventually killed by the fierce generals under Cao Cao's tent and died tragically on the battlefield.Since this result is quite different from Jia Xu's previous analysis of himself, Zhang Ji believes that Jia Xu should also bear a share of responsibility for his nephew's death.So since then, Zhang Ji has always had a grudge against Jia Xu in his heart.And it was after this battle that Jia Xu had to start to take Cao Cao seriously.

Staring at Jia Xu, Zhang Ji thought of the nephew who died on the battlefield because he followed Jia Xu's advice, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Looking at Zhang Ji's reddish eyes, Jia Xu didn't feel nervous at all, and said calmly, "I'm here to report this purely because I don't like what my lord has done. If General Zhang believes it, please come here early." Make preparations so as not to become a fish on someone else's board. If General Zhang doesn't believe me, he can tie me up and send me back, and let me be punished. If General Zhang thinks it's too troublesome, I won't be able to kill me with that sword. No."

Zhang Ji stared at Jia Xu for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to meet Li Zhiran and see what tricks he can come up with!"
