It was winter.
The battles in various places were suspended one after another. Even Li Jue and Guo Si of Chang 'an were no longer fighting.
At the end of October.
Guo Jia had already appeared in Juan City.
Cao Cao pointed at the camp in the distance and said,""Fengxiao, the military camp has been divided into five camps. The conflict between the commander and deputy generals is unprecedented.”
"Oh?"
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with surprise.
Cao Cao didn't know whether to laugh or cry." An empty title. The title of Yanzhou's First General and the position of the First Battalion's Chief and Deputy General!"”
"Smart!"
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with brilliance as he sighed,""In a chaotic world, one either seeks fame, profit, or the lives of the people. The Duke of Cao is now in a corner and has nothing to offer. An empty name can arouse the fighting spirit of a general.”
"Xin Zhi!"
Cao Cao said with a complicated expression.
"Did the Cao Family allow this kind of military reform?" Guo Jia was slightly taken aback.”
"Not bad!"
Cao Cao nodded and sighed," And this is only the beginning. After recovering Yanzhou, the army will welcome a huge revolution. I'm afraid that it will become my military strategy in the future. Therefore, all the generals have no choice but to submit to the new!”
"Interesting!"
"What kind of government affairs does this person manage?" Guo Jia asked curiously.”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said helplessly,""Xinzhi joined the army and the government, but he didn't care about the major matters. Thus, Wen Ruo, Zhicai, Zhongde and the others were in charge of the internal affairs and military funds. He would eat and drink in the residence every day, waiting for the war to come!”
"Hey!"
Guo Jia grinned.
His personality was undisciplined, similar to Xiao Nan's, so they should be a good fit.
Not too long later.
The two of them appeared in front of the Xiao Manor.
On the left and right sides of the mansion gate, two rows of armored soldiers emitted a ferocious aura.
Cao Cao explained," These are the Tiger Guards. They were originally formed by the young men of the Xu family in Qiao County. They are led by Tiger General Xu Zhongkang. Their existence is to protect Xinzhi's safety. Moreover, Zhongkang and Xinzhi are close friends!”
"Private soldiers?"
Guo Jia was puzzled.
Cao Cao shook his head and stepped into the hall.
The hall was filled with smoke, and the fragrance of roasted meat was so delicious that it made people salivate. The warm green plum wine also emitted a wisp of fragrance.
"Xinzhi!"
Cao Cao casually sat at the side.
"Sit!"
Xiao Nan sized Guo Jia up.
He placed the meat skewers on the wooden plate and wiped his hands.
Guo Jia's gaze swept across the hall and asked in confusion,""Duke Cao, just the three of us?"
"Yes!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Xiao Nan lifted his robe and sat on the main seat, smiling lightly: "Wen Ruo and the others are still working hard on the military and political situation. Today, I hosted a banquet for the lord and filial piety mainly to prove your talent for the lord. I will grant you the authority to idle and perhaps you will become the second military advisor chancellor besides me!”
"A Feast at Hongmen!"
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with seriousness.
No wonder Cao Cao was alone at the city gate to welcome him.
Not only was it a matter of courtesy, but it was also a matter of consideration for the future. If he succeeded, he would be the military advisor, but if he failed, he would probably only be an ordinary counselor.
"Filial piety!"
Xiao Nan looked at this genius who was praised by later generations and asked,""What do you think the world will become in the future, or how many dukes will be left in the world in ten years? Who are our enemies?”
"Hmm?"
Guo Jia looked to the side.
Cao Cao was also looking at him expectantly.
Xiao Nan stroked the skewers and smiled lightly." My lord has a tolerant heart. If you have extraordinary talent, as long as you don't violate the taboos, my lord will not let you down!"”
"Phew!"
Guo Jia took a sip of the hot green plum wine and said in a deep voice," In fact, the general situation of the world is already clear. The emperor is just a bird in a cage. Even if he can escape Chang 'an, he will be controlled by the other vassals. Then, he will serve the emperor to punish those who don't obey him. If he can take back Yanzhou, this person may be Cao Gong, one of the vassals in the world!”
"Continue!"
Xiao Nan's gaze was indifferent.
Guo Jia continued," North of the Yellow River, Kong Rong will not be able to withstand a single blow. Liu Yu will not be able to compete with Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan is too reckless and has no civil and military officials under his command. Therefore, Yuan Shao may become the overlord of the Central Plains in ten years!”
"And then?"
Cao Cao said anxiously.
Guo Jia thought for a while and smiled bitterly."The South is in chaos. Shi Xie doesn't want to fight. Whoever conquers the world can be recovered with a single imperial edict. Yizhou is a dangerous place with strange mountains. If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Zhang will be the king of Shu. Liu Biao of Jingzhou will be the one to defend himself. As for Yuan Gonglu's future, it will depend on Sun Bofu!”
"Sun Jian's son?"
Cao Cao's face was filled with suspicion.
Xiao Nan took a sip of wine and said lightly,""Back then, Sun Jian fled with the Imperial Jade Seal and died in the hands of Liu Biao. Sun Ce must have had a dispute with him. Now that this person is fighting in Yangzhou, if he wants to rebel against Yuan Gonglu, he will definitely sit firmly in Jiangdong!”
"Not bad!"
Guo Jia nodded.
Xiao Nan's opinion coincided with his.
After all, he didn't think that Sun Ce would be able to stay under Yuan Shu's command.
"Are you done?"
Cao Cao said solemnly.
Xiao Nan shook his head and said indifferently," This world is like a sea. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimps. If the dukes don't grow up, they will definitely be swallowed up by us in the future. The situation is constantly changing, and no one can tell what will happen in the future. We have to first plan for Yanzhou, then the emperor, then attack Xuzhou, and then swallow Yuzhou and Si Li. This way, the lord will also be the ruler of the four provinces!”
"Haha!"
Cao Cao burst into laughter and said,"Listen to Xin's words, the world will be peaceful!"”
