Guo Jia never imagined in advance that the better he performed, not only did he not occupy the only position, but instead found some competitors for himself.

In the past, Cao Cao always thought that he didn't need a military advisor, just like Cao Cao himself said, he was a little too arrogant. Of course, Cao Cao is not actually arrogant, but can only be said to be confident. is like Zhou Yu, did you see that Zhou Yu, as the commander, was looking for another military advisor?

Cao Cao didn't think that he was invincible, but that Cao Cao thought that he was almost able to do this on his own. Therefore, it is better to put such talents in other places as military advisors, so that the talent effect can be brought into play more rationally and the talent will not be wasted. Think about it, if the advice made by this so-called military advisor is exactly the same as Cao Cao's own thoughts, and Cao Cao is not an indecisive person like Yuan Shao, then hasn't this military advisor been doing useless work all along? !

Therefore, Cao Cao has always wanted no military advisor, and the reason why he made Guo Jia into a military advisor in the first place was to let Guo Jia be the commander of the first army, and did not let Guo Jia directly assist him Cao Cao.

But then the incident of Xi Zhicai happened, so Cao Cao had to keep Guo Jia by his side for the time being, so as to avoid any more accidents. It was from that moment that Cao Cao finally gradually realized the necessity of the existence of military advisors. And this kind of thinking, developed to the present, Cao Cao suddenly had the feeling that there were not enough military advisers!

It's really ironic to think about it, Guo Jia's exclusive position of "one person under ten thousand people" was broken by his own excellent performance...... So, who are your future competitors? Xun Yu? Probably not. There is no one in Cao Ying who can replace Xun Yu. At present, Xun You and Cheng Yu will become Guo Jia's direct opponents!

And judging from the five great strategists in the early part of history. The future Jia Xu is also a full military figure. However, Jia Xu evaluated Guo Jia's understanding of him and how much he knew about it. If the operation is good, you may be able to take in the command one step earlier!

A day later,

The Tian clan really sent someone to Cao Ying to reply to the letter. Cao Cao and Guo Jia hurriedly opened it and took a look,

"Three months?!"

"Impossible! This must be Chen Gong's exaggeration! Cao Cao suddenly said, they have been fighting for more than a month before, can they hold out for another three months, is there so much food in Puyang City?! Except for the ones in Puyang City itself, and those brought by Lu Bu, from the start of the war. Lu Bu has never carried out external supplies!

Therefore, Cao Cao decided that these three months were exaggerated, that is, Tian really told Chen Gong about the matter.

Just when Cao Cao and Guo Jia were about to follow the plan, pretend to be short of food, and tell Tian's people about the matter, and let the other party find a way to inform Lu Bu, at this time, they were stunned to receive Tian's second letter.

Cao Cao hurriedly opened it to take a look, then turned to Guo Jia and asked.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?"

It turned out that the above said that the matter was accidentally known by Chen Gong, and the previous letter was Chen Gong asked him to reply, and now this letter is the real situation in Puyang City. Tian said that the grain and grass in Puyang City were only enough for them for two months.

"Two months...... It's somewhat realistic, but it can't be ruled out that this is Chen Gong's conspiracy. At first deliberately said three months. And then another month or two, let's be convinced that those two months are real. Guo Jia speculated.

"Two months." Cao Cao grabbed his beard and thought about it. "Barely should be able to hold on. Then we'll limit it to two months, if the time of two months is up. If Puyang has not fallen and has not surrendered, we will retreat! Cao Cao decided.

Although the situation has changed slightly, it has not affected Guo Jia's plan. It's just that there is still a little change to follow.

Since there are two letters from Tian's side, then Cao Cao's side should naturally reply to two letters. It will be calculated according to the content of Tian's second letter!

In the first letter, he asked Tian to help burn the grain and grass in Puyang City.

The second letter said that the previous letter was specially returned to Chen Gong and should not be ignored. After that, Cao Cao found that the grain and grass in Puyang City had not been burned, so he would pretend that the army was in chaos and that the grain and grass were not enough. Let the Tian clan be responsible for finding a way to inform Lu Bu of this news, let Lu Bu know about it, and lead Lu Bu to send troops.

Then, if Tian's second letter was also Chen Gong's ghost, these two replies would naturally make Chen Gong see a joke. And if the second letter is true and valid, the method of replying to the letter in this way is also feasible.

When Chen Gong got the first reply, he would inevitably think that Cao Jun was short of food and grass, otherwise he would not have wanted to burn grain frantically. So after Lu Bu got the news of Cao Ying's rebellion, and then combined it with the letter in Chen Gong's hand, it was strange that he was not sure that this was the truth!

Similarly, because of this feasibility, even if the two letters were made by Chen Gong, he would definitely not have any doubts when he saw such two replies to the letters, and maybe he would proudly think that his own plan had succeeded in deceiving Cao Cao!

As a result, this first time to lure the enemy, Lu Bu did not kill it, and it really failed. Although it is a pity to be busy in vain, this is still in the plan, and the real show is yet to come!

"Haha! Presumably Lu Bu is watching our jokes right now. Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Yes, such a good opportunity to persuade and educate, it's strange that Chen Gong doesn't tell Lu Bu!" Guo Jiaying said.

You don't have to think about it to know that Chen Gong will definitely take advantage of this incident to let Lu Bu take a good look, Cao Cao just wants to lure him out, so he resolutely can't go out no matter what. To go out is to be fooled, and to go out is to be as Cao Cao intended!

"In other words, this incident can be regarded as letting Lu Bu know."

"Then, next time Chen Gong wants to hide the same thing, it is estimated that it will not be so easy."

"Hah!" Guo Jia smiled at Cao Cao.

I feel more and more that this plan will go very smoothly. It seems that Yanzhou is coming back, and once Yanzhou comes back, will Xuzhou be far away? Cao Cao felt that he was finally going to take a big step and go uphill!

At the same time, Xuzhou, Xiapi, and Tao Qian were seriously ill.

On this day, Tao Qian called Liu Bei to the side alone,

"Xuande, I feel like I'm dying."

"Tao Gong must not say such unlucky words, the people of Xuzhou still need Tao Gong!" Liu Bei suddenly exclaimed.

"Ahem, I know my body. Now there are only two of us here, Xuande, you tell me the truth, what do you want in Xuzhou? Or don't?! Ahem, ahem, ahem. Tao Qian asked loudly.

Liu Bei was slightly stunned, but still didn't answer directly, but asked,

"Tao Gong has two sons under his knees, why don't you pass on the throne to them?"

Tao Qian shook his head,

"The eldest son is Shang, the second son Ying, if it is in a peaceful and prosperous world, then there is no problem, in this troubled world, the old man has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that Xuande you can take care of one or two more in the future, so that they can live well." Tao Qian sighed. (To be continued......)
