Chapter 154

Jia Xu was controlled by Shi A, and he had no chance to resist at all. The opponent was definitely a master of swordsmanship who would kill people without blinking an eye.

Different from the general barbarians, Shi A is more like a killer without any emotion, unmoved by words.

Immediately seeing Shi A's characteristics, Jia Xu swallowed, and didn't waste any more time trying to plot against Shi A.

Since Shi A belonged to Cao Cao, Jia Xu also understood that they probably didn't want his own life, at least Shi A wouldn't hurt himself now.

Jia Xu narrowed her eyes, showing an old-fashioned look, thinking to herself: "This assassin belongs to Cao Cao, so according to someone like Cao Cao who often takes risks... he is probably in the city!"

"Han Fu in Jizhou in the north keeps expanding his territory, but Cao Cao can't take down the land under the jurisdiction of Wancheng. It seems that he wants to use me as a breakthrough."

"I will definitely not lose my life for mere Zhang Xiu, but now it seems that I must find a way."

Following Shi A in the alley and walking towards the city, Jia Xu was trying to find a way for the patrolling soldiers to see him along the way.

But Shi A seemed to have grasped the patrol route of those soldiers and avoided them completely.

Seeing that Cao Cao's assassin knew so much about the situation in Wancheng, Jia Xu directly dismissed his escape plan.

"Since we can't get away with resourcefulness, we must find a way to catch Cao Cao. Although Yanzhou, where Cao Cao is located, has a bad geographical location, it is a hero."

Jia Xu was taken by Shi A to a very secluded courtyard, which is almost the most remote place in the entire Wancheng.

Shi A pushed Jia Xu into the courtyard, looked around the courtyard, and closed the door after confirming that no one was following her.

There were two strong men at the door of the house in the courtyard. Although they only carried plain knives, they were not enough to conceal their murderous intent.

Jia Xu tidied up her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked straight to the house in front of her.

The two warriors at the door of the house did not stop Jia Xu, because they believed that Jia Xu did not pose any threat to their lord.

There is also a fierce general guarding the house, and Cao Cao sitting on the seat inside also wears a cloak to cover his face.

After Jia Xu saw Cao Cao, he took a deep breath and changed his momentum in an instant.

Jia Xu bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and at the same time bowed his hands in salute, and said unhurriedly: "Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, a counselor under the prefect of Wancheng, has met Cao Sikong."

Cao Cao didn't find it strange at all when he saw Jia Xu salute to him and recognized his identity.

If Jia Xu can't guess his identity, Cao Cao will feel disappointed, thinking that he came to Wancheng to see Jia Xu for nothing.

Cao Cao took off his cloak, took a deep breath, and revealed a serious and majestic face.

Although his stature is relatively short and his face is dark, it is not enough to conceal Cao Cao's intimidating temperament.

Cao Cao showed a slight smile, and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, you are indeed the number one counselor in Xiliang, but you couldn't show your talents when you were under Dong Thief's command."

"Although the current Zhang Xiu is not as violent as Dong Thief, he is far inferior to Dong Zhuo, and you can't even use your skills."

"And smart people, I, Cao Cao, never talk nonsense. I hope that Mr. Wen He can be my adviser and help me persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender."

Jia Xu had already guessed Cao Cao's purpose, he narrowed his eyes, wanting to test Cao Cao's true attitude towards him.

Jia Xu showed a gloomy look in his eyes. Although it was only for a second, he was caught by the keen Cao Cao.

Cao Cao likes Jia Xu's eyes very much, because what he needs under his command is someone like Jia Xu who is good at playing tricks.

Cheng Yu is good at military affairs and conspiracy, Xun Yu is better at internal affairs, and Xi Zhicai is all-rounder, but not particularly outstanding in conspiracy.

Since Jia Xu was able to defuse his attacking forces against Wancheng by means of tactics, Cao Cao made up his mind to draw this person under his command.

Jia Xu took a deep breath and said tentatively, "Lord Sikong, all the scribes in Xiliang come from poor families and have experienced too many wars."

"People like us are better at self-protection. The same is true for Li Wenyou, for example. Dong Zhuo defeated Chang'an, and Li Wenyou disappeared after that, just to protect himself."

"I am not as capable as Li Wenyou, but I know how to protect myself better than him. Mr. Cao came to see me in person, and I am also sincere and fearful."

After Cao Cao heard Jia Xu's words, he frowned slightly, but he liked Jia Xu even more in his heart.

Cao Cao swallowed, and asked, "Li Wenyou? Is that the Li Ru under Dong Zhuo's command who used the strategy of burning Luoyang to resolve the alliance of the eighteen princes?"

"He didn't die in Chang'an City. It seems that you still have contact with Li Ru. Then, can you dig him out again?"

For Li Ru, an old Yin man, Cao Cao yearned even more.

Even though Li Ru's reputation is very bad, he helped the tyrant and abused him.

When Jia Xu saw that Cao Cao still wanted to recruit Li Ru, he felt a little excited in an instant. After all, he and Li Ru had a very good relationship.

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, and tried again: "Mr. Cao, Li Ru burned Luo Yang. He is a sinner of the Han court."

"If Mr. Cao recruited Li Ru, it would be a matter of damaging his own reputation. Mr. Cao can really accommodate him. Can he, Li Wenyou?"

Seeing that Jia Xu was still testing himself, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and laughed loudly, the laughter shocked Jia Xu's mind!
"Hahaha! I, Cao Mengde, don't doubt people, but don't doubt people! If a talented person is worthy of me, Cao Cao, how can I tolerate it?"

"Ning teach me to betray the world, don't teach the world to betray me! So what if Li Wenyou burns Luo Yang, his talent is worthy of doing that, so I can tolerate him naturally!"

Cao Cao's momentum made Jia Xu's heart tremble. He got to know Cao Cao again and changed his perception of Cao Cao slightly.

Jia Xu took a deep breath, his thoughts were running fast, and he wanted to calculate what advantages he would have if he followed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also looked at Jia Xu, and at the same time sat back on his seat and poured Jia Xu a cup of tea himself.

The attitude is obvious, he is telling Jia Xu that if he is willing to join him, he can come and sit down.

If he doesn't want to, Jia Xu also knows that he probably won't be able to make it out of this courtyard.

Jia Xu swallowed, ready to give it a go, and deal with Cao Cao again: "Mr. Cao, if you really want to recruit me, then please let me say something more."

Seeing Jia Xu with cold sweat on his forehead, Cao Cao smiled and pointed to the teacup.

The meaning is obvious, Cao Cao is telling Jia Xu, as long as you sit next to me, you can say anything, but it doesn't matter!
Jia Xu took a deep breath, glanced at the broad-shouldered general standing beside Cao Cao from the corner of her eye, and did not hesitate any longer.

Going straight to Cao Cao, Jia Xu and Cao Cao sat down across the table and expressed their willingness to surrender to Cao Cao.

Seeing that Jia Xu is very knowledgeable about current affairs, Cao Cao showed a bright smile and said, "Mr. Wen He, it's okay to say what you have to say, Cao will not care."

"If it can be beneficial to Cao, then don't mind, please!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly to Jia Xu, expressing his respect, and at the same time hoping to give Jia Xu a sense of security.

Jia Xu hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Mr. Cao, Yanzhou is not suitable as a base. The north will be unified within ten years."

"I have a strategy of swallowing snakes and swallowing elephants. This strategy was conceived together with Li Wenyou, and it is also speculated that the world will be full of power 15 years later!"

Jia Xu was outspoken, and Cao Cao was shocked when he heard it, because Xi Zhicai had also said these words, but they were just one of the speculations about the situation in the world.
