The book is picked up again.

Xuzhou, Cao Cao's office.

"Hahaha......" Cao Cao walked around the hall with a letter on his face full of ecstasy, and every few steps he would stop to look at the letter in his hand, and every time he looked at it, he would laugh happily.

"Lord, you've been smiling for almost a stick of incense, it's time to stop, right?!" Guo Jia, who was sitting on the side drinking, saw Cao Cao so out of shape, and persuaded helplessly.

"Hahaha......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he laughed out loud and said, "A certain family really can't help it!"

Who would have thought that it was just a retaliatory action, and it would be exchanged for a state of land for a certain family! ”

Speaking of this, he waved the letter in his hand like a madman, and said loudly: "That's a state!!

There are only thirteen states in the entire Han Dynasty, and just one revenge was exchanged for one state, do you think a certain family should plan this kind of retaliation a few more times?! ”

Cao Cao was going crazy after receiving the news, he was different from Li Zhi, he had never been so rich.

Originally, Cao Cao was very satisfied with Xuzhou as a base, but he didn't expect an unexpected move to double his territory in an instant, so he had the feeling of picking up a mountain of gold while walking.

"No!" Xun Yu on the side heard that Cao Cao was going to repeat his old tricks, so he quickly stood up and loudly dissuaded: "The reason why General Lu was able to successfully defeat Yuan Shao this time is because of luck!"

If it were him, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to succeed at all!

It can be said that General Lu's success is due to the right time, place, and people, plus several coincidences.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that the hussar general arranged spies under Yuan Shao's command, then Gao Ran would not have been able to fight back.

If Gao Ran doesn't turn against the water, maybe even General Lu can't come back, so how can he talk about occupying the state and county?!

All of this is a coincidence, and it is not to be taken as a routine! ”

"Wen Ruo is too careful." After Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, he pressed his hand and replied with a smile: "Of course a certain family knows this truth, and a certain family just said it just now, don't take it seriously."

Okay, now I'll discuss how to send troops. ”

Cao Cao also knew that he had indeed made some gaffes just now, which would damage his prestige, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

Everyone present was a smart person, and when they saw Cao Cao change the topic, they also knew that he didn't want everyone to mention his ugly state just now, so they tacitly agreed to keep silent about what had just happened.

"Before sending troops, please choose which state we will target?" Guo Jia saw that everyone was silent, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Hiss......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he rubbed his temples with a headache, and said helplessly: "To be honest, this is really not

Good choice, if possible, a certain family wants. ”

"......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the conspirators present rolled their eyes at the same time and ignored him.

"Hey, hey......" Cao Cao also knew that he was too greedy, so after laughing, he said: "Of course, a certain family also knows that this is impossible, let's discuss this matter together." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Guo Jia with expectant eyes.

The reason why he looked at Guo Jia instead of looking at others was because he hoped that Guo Jia could help him.

If Guo Jia opened his mouth and said that he wanted Jizhou, then Li Zhi might agree for Guo Jia's sake.

Of course, Cao Cao can also speak directly, but it is too shameless to ask for Jizhou's proposal!

Jizhou has probably calmed down now, and there is no trouble, if you ask for Jizhou, isn't it equivalent to directly picking other people's fruits? It's outrageous!

So although he wanted Jizhou in his heart, he didn't say it. just gestured to Guo Jia with his eyes, hoping that Guo Jia would bring it up.

Guo Jia also saw Cao Cao's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to Cao Cao at all.

Although he has a good relationship with Li Zhi, he really can't open his mouth.

So he pretended not to see Cao Cao's eyes, and lowered his head to look at his fingernails, as if there was a peerless beautiful article on it.

"Ahem......" Seeing this, Cao Cao coughed vigorously a few times and reminded Guo Jia.

"Alas......" Guo Jia saw that he couldn't hide, and after sighing, he was about to refuse directly, when he heard a voice from the side: "I think that Cao Gong should choose Jizhou." ”

"Huh??" After hearing this voice, everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke.

Then they were all stunned, because the person who spoke was none other than Jia Wenhe!

"This ......" Seeing that Jia Wenhe actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to give up Jizhou, everyone present looked at each other, and Cao Cao was even more at a loss.

Because everyone present knew that Jia Wenhe was not Cao Cao's subordinate at all, he just came to Cao Cao to work, in essence, he still belonged to Li Zhi.

And Jia Wenhe is speaking now, which is likely to represent Li Zhi's meaning!

After thinking about this, Cao Cao's face suddenly turned red!

He suddenly felt that he was a villain!

Li Zhi had already given him the best state, and he was still planning to use Guo Jia to plot against Li Zhi just now, now that he thinks about it, Cao Cao is a little ashamed!

Shame is shame, but business still has to be done, so after Cao Cao rubbed his face vigorously, he asked Jia Wenhe with a solemn face: "Why did Mr. Wenhe say this?"

Jizhou has been completely pacified, and this is all due to the spy of Xingzhixian's brother.

If a certain family chooses

If you take Jizhou, wouldn't you just take the fruits of others? ”

Although he is willing in his heart, he still has to pretend to be a prevarication on the surface.

It's not that he's hypocritical, but that resignation is etiquette, just like being an emperor needs to excuse himself three times.

After Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's words, he said calmly: "Cao Gong can accept Jizhou with confidence."

Because if Cao Gong doesn't accept it, my father-in-law won't dare to accept it! ”

"Why?" Cao Cao, who was originally going to be modest, frowned and asked after hearing Jia Xu's words, "Is there any secret in this?" ”

"The subordinates may have guessed what the hussar general meant?" Just after Cao Cao asked, before Jia Xu could answer, Xun Yu on the side interjected thoughtfully.

"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he said with curiosity: "Gongda has something to say, and a certain family listens to it." ”

Hearing this, Xun You nodded, turned his gaze to Jia Xu, and said calmly: "If you guess correctly, the hussar general is afraid of those families in Jizhou, right?" ”

As soon as Xun You's words were finished, everyone present showed a sudden realization at the same time.

These people are all human spirits, and after they heard Xun You's words, they immediately understood the inside story.

"That's right!" Seeing that Xun You had already guessed Li Zhi's thoughts, Jia Xu did not hide it, and after nodding, he said: "Duke Cao should know the ambition of my lord, and Jizhou has always been a rich place, so there are countless families stationed in it.

If my father-in-law occupies Jizhou, I will face endless harassment from the Jizhou family!

When the time comes, it will be impossible for my lord to calm down and educate the world.

That's why my father-in-law gave up the rich Jizhou and chose the poorer Jizhou and Qingzhou. ”

"That's right......" Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully after hearing Jia Xu's answer.

But he was still a little unsure, so he asked, "Although the number of families in the other two states is indeed small, there are still some, what does the virtuous brother plan to do with them?" ”

To tell the truth, Cao Cao is really afraid that Li Zhi will kill the ring, if he is rational and kills the ring, then the other families will definitely have a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox!

At that time, I am afraid that there will be more people who oppose Li Zhi!

As for whether Li Zhi dared to kill so many people......

He never doubted Li Zhi's ruthlessness, and the original Yellow Turban Thief was proof of this!

When he was cornered, Li Zhi's knife was faster than anyone else!

At the same time, Cao Cao knew Li Zhi's dedication to educating the world.

Therefore, if any family dares to stop Li Zhi, he believes that Li Zhi will definitely not be soft, and he will definitely try his best to kill the family that obstructs him!

Sure enough, things were pretty much the same as he thought......
