Guo Jia pondered for a while, and suddenly said,

"I have an idea."

"Oh? Let's hear it! Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"We may be able to ask the Tian family for help last time." Guo Jia replied.

"How is that possible?!" Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this, "Last time, it was this Tian clan who helped Lu Bu calculate, how could he help us in turn now?!" ”

Although Cao Cao thought that Guo Jia couldn't be untargeted, even Cao Cao couldn't help but want to say to Guo Jia at this time: You guy can't sleep in his head, right?!

"It's hard to say, the so-called one time and that time. These scholars love to see the wind and steer the rudder, and they choose whichever side has an advantage, and where the interests are greater, they choose whichever side. It's rare to have a completely firm move in support of someone. Since the last time Lu Bu was ambushed, the strength and weakness of us and Lu Bu have gradually become clear, and Lu Bu is obviously in a weak position. As long as we promise not to blame the past, and promise heavy profits, the possibility that the Tian family will really help us is not small. Guo Jia analyzed.

"Moreover, whether it is Lu Bu, Chen Gong, or that Tian clan, it is impossible for them to know the situation on our side, but they are very clear about their own situation. If the grain and grass in Puyang City really can't hold on, these warriors will definitely be the first to sit still! Therefore, we secretly sent someone over and directly asked how much grain and grass there was in Puyang City. This inescapable question will definitely shake Tian's faith! Guo Jia said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao calmed down a little, Guo Jia's head really didn't break. There is indeed such a possibility, and it seems that the probability is not small.

"Then what if the Tian clan still doesn't plan to help us?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

"If Tian doesn't plan to help us. That will definitely tell Chen Gong about us finding him. And after Chen Gong knew it, he would inevitably make a plan. Let Tian reply with a number, let us mistakenly think that the grain and grass in Puyang City are still relatively sufficient. This is a blow to our confidence and morale. Guo Jia said.

"Makes sense." Cao Cao nodded, "But how can you tell if Tian's reply is true or false?" ”

"Naturally, this point is impossible to judge, but at least Chen Gong can't make it too outrageous, and we can roughly guess how much grain is left in Puyang City." Guo Jia said, "If the figure of Tian's reply is completely within our tolerance, then whether it is true or not, Puyang has almost already won it!" ”

As for why Chen Gong didn't deliberately say less? Does that make any sense? You must know that Chen Gong is now wishing that Cao Cao would retreat early, and if he said less, wouldn't he want Cao Cao to continue to hold on? Once dragged to that time. Puyang did not surrender, and there was no chaos in the city, so what was there to lose to Cao Cao?

At most, "Ah, I was deceived." "Chen Gong doesn't have such a bad taste, if it is replaced by Guo Jia, it may be about the same.

Unless Chen Gong is confident that there is more grain and grass in Puyang City than Cao Cao's side, and can roughly deduce how much grain and grass is left on Cao Cao's side, then Chen Gong only needs to say a number close to Cao Cao's bottom line, so that Cao Cao gritted his teeth and persevered. Wait for Cao Cao to find out that he has been deceived. And the grain and grass were also used up, and then Chen Gong took the opportunity to fight again. In this way, the Cao army can be defeated in one fell swoop!

If such a situation really occurs, it can only mean that there are traitors on Cao Cao's side, and Puyang's grain stock is indeed much more than Cao Cao's. Otherwise, even if there are traitors, it would not be possible. Puyang City was still in Cao Cao's hands some time ago, and the grain in it can probably be counted, and Puyang's current grain storage will definitely not be too much higher than Cao Cao's side. So that scenario can almost be ruled out.

Therefore, Chen Gong will only say it high, not low.

And after we got Tian's reply. No matter what Tian's answer was, immediately pretend that there is a shortage of food in the army. And let Tian try his best to convey the news to Lu Bu's ears. Guo Jia continued.

Cao Cao touched his chin,

"If the Tian clan is really helping us, then Lu Bu will naturally be fooled. But if the Tian clan had told Chen Gong about the matter from the beginning, wouldn't it be completely useless for us to do all this?! Cao Cao couldn't help but say.

"If Lu Bu is fooled, that is the best; And Lu Bu didn't come, it can't be said to be completely useless, first of all, it's almost certain that Tian didn't help us, and the number he replied before was also fake. Then, we lied this time, will we deceive people again in the same way after that?! Guo Jia replied.

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this,

"What do you mean......"

"That's right, if Lu Bu doesn't come out this time. Then a month later, we again pretended to be short of food. The first incident is estimated to be so popular in Puyang that everyone knows about it, and ordinary people may think that we will use the same strategy, but also a failed strategy, in a row? And the second time, we didn't secretly contact anyone to inform Lu Bu, which would definitely add a lot of authenticity. In addition, the last time we asked for food and made calculations, it will definitely give people the impression that we ourselves were already a little short of food a month ago, so this time it is estimated that we are really short of food. Also, if we don't draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, a month's time is exactly the time when we run out of grain and grass now. At that time, even if Lu Bu still doesn't know about this matter, I believe that even Chen Gong himself will think that the probability that we are really short of food is already more than eighty percent. Besides, no matter how tolerant Chen Gong is, in such a situation, can other generals also endure it? Guo Jia said one by one, the original plan was simple, just for Lu Bu's impulsive and arrogant people, but now Guo Jia's strategy is more popular. A general cannot be as calm as a real scribe in any case. It can be said that as long as there is a little impulse, it is estimated that Guo Jia's tricks will be fooled. After all, this kind of great opportunity to make contributions, and a few people will let it go. Love to fight to win!

"High! It's really high! Cao Cao couldn't help but admire, "Fengxiao, for the first time, I really found that the position of military advisor is also quite useful to me." It seems that I used to be a little too arrogant. In the future, if possible, I'll find a few more people to brainstorm. ”

Cao Cao's words made Guo Jia's eyelids jump, Nima, Cao Cao is really not an ordinary person. When ordinary people encounter this situation, they must be like Lu Bu did to Chen Gong, "With Mr. to help me, why worry about the world!" "It's enough to have you. But Cao Cao, on the contrary, the more he saw Guo Jia's power, the more Cao Cao thought that Guo Jia was not enough.

Obviously, Cao Cao is the kind of person who pursues perfection, or pursues limits. Cao Cao knew very well that no matter how smart Guo Jia was, he still had a situation of inconsiderate thinking. So, how about finding a few more people who are as smart as Guo Jia? According to the different characteristics of each person, make up for each other's weaknesses, so that you will be able to form the strongest military team in the world! (To be continued......)
