"Hehehe!"

When everyone in the hall was still immersed in contemplation, Li Li smiled and praised: "Feng Xiaoxiao is thoughtful, everything he says is reasonable, and he is straight to the point." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, Weichen is ashamed." Guo Jia smiled humbly.

Li Li shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Fengxiao doesn't have to be humble. I heard that Feng Xiao and Cheng Yu have known each other for a long time, and they were still classmates and friends in the past, and they had a very close personal relationship. Since an old friend is visiting, I won't see Cheng Yu tonight, and Feng Xiao will receive him on my behalf and handle the alliance with full authority. Is Feng Xiao willing to take on this responsibility? ”

"Ugh!" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said in a hurry: "No, my subordinates receive orders." It's just 、、、that if Cheng Yu wants to get back the generals of the Cao Army who were captured by our army, how should he deal with it? ”

"Well, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome, and some people can't let it go." Li Li groaned, and then turned his gaze to Jia Xu: "The matter of prisoners of war will be handed over to Wen He to deal with, just act when he sees the opportunity, presumably Wen He knows it." Let's do it, and when it's late at night, go back and rest. ”

Seeing Teng Xiao, Bo Cai and Gao Shun leave, Li Li got up and walked to the hall and said to Guo Jia and Jia Xu: "I heard that Cheng Yu is Cao Cao's trusted confidant, but an alliance requires sincerity; Especially if Cao Cao wants to form a secret alliance with us, he needs enough sincerity. How to discuss, you two grasp the balance, there is one point I declare in advance. Even if there is no Cao Cao as an internal response, there are our allies among the allies, and the most important thing is that I will destroy Cao Cao sooner or later. ”

Between words. Li Li patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said with a smile: "The cold night is heavy, and you have worked hard tonight." ”

"This is a matter within my own part, how dare I speak bitterly." Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, and said respectfully.

"Yes, very good. So I went back and rested. The two of you stay here to meet Cheng Yu. ”

After speaking, Li Li smiled and nodded at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and strode towards the inner hall of the back tent.

After Li Li leaves. The smile on Jia Xu's face quickly faded, and he turned to look at Guo Jia calmly, and said softly: "It seems that you and I don't want to rest tonight, this matter seems easy." It's actually quite tricky. ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this. Puzzled: "Why did Brother Wen He say this?" This matter can be discussed, if Cao Cao's sincerity is insufficient, just give up, what's the trick? ”

Jia Xu shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Didn't Fengxiao hear the meaning of the lord's words? ”

"Ugh!" Guo Jia's expression was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and he said suspiciously: "What does Brother Wenhe mean??? Cheng Yu? ”

"Exactly. The lord just said that Cheng Yu is a confidant and strategist who is deeply relied on by Cao Cao, and the weight of this sentence is not light! ”

"Ahh Don't??? Since ancient times, the two countries have not fought each other, how should this be good? May Wenwen and brother see each other. ”

"It's not a high opinion. I hope Cheng Yu is prepared this time, otherwise??? Just act when you see the opportunity. Jia Xu wanted to speak and stopped, and after speaking, he turned around and walked into the curtain at the back of the lobby, hiding behind the scenes.

Guo Jia stood in the center of the hall stunned, shook his head helplessly after a while, and ordered a banquet to be held in the pro-soldier hall and bring Cheng Yu to the banquet.

——————

The cold wind howled outside the tent, dripping into ice; The charcoal fire in the tent is blazing, warm as spring.

The two cases were placed together in the center of the main hall, and Guo Jia and Cheng Yu sat opposite each other.

Old friends will inevitably set up a banquet to entertain when they meet, reminisce about drinking, talk very happily, raise a glass and put a lamp, and an hour passes quietly.

After being full of wine and food, Guo Jia waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to withdraw the wine and food and replace them with the fragrant tea that had already been prepared.

"The tea is fragrant, the fragrance is strong, and there is a lingering fragrance in the mouth after entering the stomach, it is really good tea!" After taking a sip of tea, Cheng Yu praised it.

Guo Jia nodded and smiled: "This tea is the pre-Ming tea specially ordered by the lord to pick it, and the person who picks the tea must be a cardamom girl, and then the lord himself teaches the tea-making skills, so there is such a rare fragrant tea in the world." Hearing that Brother Zhongde is coming tonight, the younger brother naturally wants to bring out the best tea to entertain the elder brother. If the elder brother doesn't give up, you can bring some tea cakes back and enjoy them slowly. ”

Cheng Yu's brows moved slightly after hearing this, he looked at Guo Jia with a smile, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's disrespectful to be a brother." It's just that??? I take the liberty of asking, can my brother still get out of this magnificent handsome tent tonight? ”

"What do you mean by Brother Zhongde, do you think that the foolish brother will harm you?"

"Fengxiao naturally won't harm me, but your lord may not be able to let me go. I'm not mistaken, right? ”

Guo Jia shook his head lightly when he heard this, and said with a calm smile: "After a few years, Brother Zhongde has not changed at all, and he is still so suspicious. Don't you hear that the two countries are still fighting each other, not to mention that you and I are still classmates and old friends. As long as Brother Zhongde comes with sincerity and does not deceive my lord, and the foolish brother dares to guarantee with the head of the item, Brother Zhongde will be able to leave safely, and no one will embarrass you. ”

"Is it sincere, I don't know how to be sincere, and how can I satisfy the general? Feng Xiao might as well tell him bluntly. Cheng Yu asked solemnly.

"Since Brother Zhongde inquired about each other, Brother Fool naturally told the truth and never concealed it." Guo Jia nodded happily, the smile on his face quickly faded with these words, and he was replaced with a stern and serious face.

Unconsciously, the two directly skipped unnecessary greetings and politeness, and went straight to the topic, which was the core of this secret discussion at first glance.

After a pause, Guo Jia took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and said in a calm tone: "At present, your lord Cao Cao is in a difficult situation, the foundation of Yanzhou has been lost, most of the soldiers and horses have been lost, and the generals under the account are either dead or wounded, or defeated and captured, as if the destruction is imminent, and now it is just a matter of survival." Two months ago, in the battle of Feiyundu, Cao Cao was able to escape and survive under the heavy encirclement and suppression of our army, which was really unexpected by my lord, and made my lord appreciate Cao Cao's talent very much.

For this reason, our lord intends to accept Cao Cao, give him the post of General Wei, and entrust him with important tasks, and will definitely not wronged him. If he is not willing to go to war, he can also enter the court as an official. The three princes and nine kings are left to his choice, which is enough for him to show his ambitions and indulge in his talents. Of course. All the civil and military generals and soldiers of the Cao army were given preferential treatment, and the generals and civilian officials who were willing to continue to serve in the army were all promoted to one level, and the number of people increased accordingly. If you can't answer for your lord Cao Cao, don't worry, we'll send someone to ask for his opinion. With such an arrangement, I don't know what Brother Zhongde wants? ”

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yu laughed out loud. It was as if I had heard a big joke, and I laughed so much that tears came out.

"Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. Who of the former classmates of Yingchuan Academy didn't know that you could be eloquent and skillful, but I didn't expect you to repeat your old tricks in front of me Cheng Yu tonight, and you said such nonsense! Do you think I, Cheng Yu, am so deceitful that I actually deceive me with wild words? ”

After Guo Jia heard this. The face does not change color and the heart does not beat. Said solemnly: "Why did Brother Zhongde say this? Tonight, I, Guo Jia, am discussing major matters with you on behalf of my lord, why is there nonsense, and where can I start with my wild words? With the situation Cao Cao is facing now, in addition to relying on other princes, what is in front of him is a dead end!

Since sooner or later he will lead his troops to attach himself to others, why not choose the most powerful prince overlord in the world today, but beg to surrender to the other princes at the end of the day? It is self-evident who is the most powerful overlord in the world. I'm afraid that children will know that the overlord of the world is my father-in-law Li Li Wenchang! ”

"Humph!" Cheng Yu snorted coldly angrily: "Feng Xiao should know that the enmity between my lord and your lord Li Li is as deep as the sea. It is really an invincible enemy of life and death, and even if my lord dies, he will not bow down to Li Li. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if my lord leads his troops to surrender, how can Li Li be compatible, and he will definitely harm my lord's life??????"

"Brother Zhongde's words are wrong." Without waiting for Cheng Yu to finish speaking, Guo Jia interjected: "The broad-mindedness of my family is known to the world. In the first battle in the southern suburbs, my lord won a complete victory, and then gave up the power of the government and the opposition to take care of filial piety; In the first battle of Hanyang, our lord ignored his past suspicions, let go of Ma Teng, who was repeatedly an enemy of my lord, and treated his family well; In the battle of Jincheng, our lord buried Han Sui, the great enemy of his life, with the gift of a prince; Under Wuguan City, my lord of the family released Lu Bu in righteousness. There are so many things to mention, even Situ Wang Yun, who died at the city gate, praised my lord for his clear grievances and grievances, and he is a masterpiece in the world and a strange man in the world. Brother Zhongde is also a well-read person, you ask yourself, what is the mind of my lord, but is that person who will repay and has no room for others? ”

"It's ??? The general is indeed the hero of the world, broad-minded, and benevolent and righteous. Cheng Yu hesitated for a long time, but finally said what was in his heart.

After a pause, he shook his head helplessly and said, "To tell you the truth, I respect General Dà very much, but these are useless to my lord, and he will never bow down to the general." Therefore, Feng Xiao does not need to say much, if the condition proposed by the general is that the lord of my family leads his troops to surrender, then I have nothing to say, I just want to die quickly. ”

After saying this, Cheng Yu's expression was decadent, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes, as if he had given up the purpose of this trip, and was completely dead to Cao Cao's secret alliance with Li Li.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, and Cheng Yu was about to collapse if it burned again, a smile flashed in the corner of Guo Jia's eyes, and then said solemnly: "Brother Zhongde, it's not that the younger brother deliberately makes things difficult for you, it's really Cao Cao's repeated desire to cause the death of my lord, and he has bad intentions!" Let's talk about it, what preparations did Cao Cao make for this alliance with my lord? ”

"Huh? What does Feng Xiao mean by this, could it be that you are the one who is alarmist and intimidating, and there is still room for maneuver in the matter? Cheng Yu was stunned.

Guo Jia nodded lightly, and said with a dumb smile: "Of course, otherwise why would the younger brother set up a banquet to entertain the elder brother, do you think the banquet just now was a severed head wine?" Hehehe! ”

Cheng Yu was surprised and delighted, and patted Guo Jia's arm heavily, as if taking the opportunity to vent. Immediately, he was not verbose, and bluntly said four things to show Cao Cao's sincerity in forming an alliance. The first thing was that Cao Cao recommended Sun Ce to garrison in Hedong, the second thing was that three days later Liu Bei would lead 50,000 Xuzhou troops to secretly enter the Allied camp, the third thing was that a month ago Yuan Shao sent Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers to carry heavy money to persuade the other two princes to send troops to attack Xiliang with the allies, and the fourth thing was to present a detailed map of the Allied camp.
