Guo Jia looked at Guo Yun's back as he left and asked in puzzlement,""My lord, is it really okay to put abstruse immortals in the military position?”
Up until now, Guo Yun's talents were all inclined towards strategists.
However, Cao Cao followed Cao Ren's advice and let him lead the eight lieutenants.
This made Guo Jia very worried.
"Fengxiao, Xuan Immortal talents are indeed unpredictable…"
Cao Cao's eyes shone with wisdom as he said,""It is precisely because of this that I entrusted the heavy responsibility of military affairs to him.”
"External affairs have you, internal affairs have Wen Ruo.”
"However, there is no one in the three armies who can truly command the overall situation.”
" Xiahou Dun is brave but lacking in strategy…"
"Cao Ren is cautious but not radical…"
"Cao Hong, Yue Jin, Li Dian, and Yu Jin are even weaker than the two.”
"After thinking about it, only a Mystic Immortal is the most suitable. Moreover, he has the help of a fierce general like Zhao Yun under his command. Fengxiao doesn't have to worry too much.”
Guo Jia looked enlightened when he heard that."My lord is wise."
" Most importantly, I've observed that Mystic Immortals are very resourceful. Even a small kitchen foreman can develop a method to refine salt. If it's put in the army, it might bring me unexpected surprises!”
Cao Cao was full of confidence and said solemnly,""Fengxiao, once we start a war with Yuan Shao, the military rations and strategies are secondary. The most important thing is to lead the troops! If there were no undefeated soldiers, no matter how many schemes they had, they would all be empty talk!”
So that was how it was!
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with reverence.
In terms of strategy, Cao Cao was far inferior to him, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu.
As long as he talked about knowing people and making good use of them, and reading widely, Guo Jia was deeply impressed.
At this moment, Cheng Yu rushed over.
"My lord, I've found it."
"Before the incident, Dong Cheng went to see Liu Bei!”
"It is said that it is an order from His Majesty.”
Cheng Yu reported the situation.
"Dong Cheng from Cheji General? Consort Dong's father?"
When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.""My lord, it seems that it is indeed Tian Zi's intention.”
"You really don't know what you're doing!"
Cao Cao angrily slammed the table, his eyes filled with killing intent."Mystic Immortal is right. Our emperor has grown up and has his own ideas.”
"Alright, this time, it's time to properly clean up these old ministers who don't know death.”
"Otherwise, once we start a war with Yuan Shao, it's hard to guarantee that these people will be a burden.”
"Zhongde, how is Jia Xu?"
Cao Cao thought of his plan to dig up the poisonous salt and regretted it.
Liu Bei had run off with Zhang Fei.
If the 'poisonous salt' were to erupt on the other side, he would most likely have to face the Liu Yuan alliance army.
"The men of sacrifice have entered Qingzhou," Cheng Yu replied in a low voice.”
"Forget it, forget it. You guys go back and rest first.”
Cao Cao's interest waned as he said," Zhongkang, put Guan Yu in prison first. During this period, no one is allowed to see him. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"”
"Here!"
Everyone left.
It was not until noon the next day that the pursuers gradually returned.
Zhang Liao and the others didn't find anything.
"Red Hare and Vanishing Shadow are rare horses. It's not your fault that we can't catch up.”Cao Cao sighed and said,"I can only say that Liu Bei's life is not over. Xu Huang, Li Dian, follow me."”
Cao Cao was filled with killing intent. Even if it was his fault for gifting the horse, it was ultimately Liu Xie's idea.
Liu Xie could not be killed.
In that case, he could only vent his anger on Dong Cheng.=
Under the protection of Xu Huang and Li Dian, Cao Cao led his troops into Dong Cheng's residence and killed all the living people in the residence.
Xu Huang carried a bloodstained head and walked in front of Cao Cao."My lord, no one survived. This is Dong Cheng's head!”
"Good!"
Cao Cao's robe was stained with blood as he went straight to Liu Xie's bedroom.
Bang!
The door of the bedroom was blasted open.
"Minister Cao, you…"
Liu Xie's entire body trembled. Before he could finish speaking, he heard Concubine Dong's scream!
"Ah!"
"Hehe, Concubine Dong, don't you even recognize your own father?”
Cao Cao was expressionless, his eyes filled with killing intent. He placed Dong Cheng's head on the table and said sinisterly,"Your Majesty, Dong Cheng colluded with the rebels and kidnapped Liu Bei. His crimes are heinous and his entire family should be executed!”
"Cao, Minister Cao…you, you, do you have any evidence?!”
Liu Xie felt a chill down his spine as he looked at Cao Cao, whose clothes were stained with blood. As the emperor, he had never seen such a scene. The huge head was in the bedroom, and Dong Cheng's pale eyes were wide open, as if he had died with grievances.
"Evidence?"
"Liu Bei's escape is evidence!"
Cao Cao sneered,"Your Majesty, would you rather believe a thief who escaped from prison than a minister who holds the world's soldiers?"
"This…"
Liu Xie understood what Cao Cao meant.
"Your Majesty, save me…"
Concubine Dong's face was pale as she begged for her life in fear.
"Cheng, Prime Minister, Concubine Dong is in the depths of the palace and doesn't know about Dong Cheng's rebellion. Moreover, Concubine Dong already has my flesh and blood. Please spare her life, Prime Minister…"
By the end of his sentence, Liu Xie was already crying and begging for mercy.
Dong Cheng was a scheming old man. Geng Ji attacked him and wiped out all the evidence. Even if Cao Cao wanted to investigate, he wouldn't be able to do so.
However, how could they have expected Cao Cao to be so ruthless?!
He directly acted first and reported later!
"Since Your Majesty has spoken, I will definitely follow!”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said," But Guan Yu is a righteous person. He has abandoned the dark and turned to the light to report his meritorious deeds. Your Majesty must reward him well during tomorrow's court meeting!"”
"If I let the meritorious minister's heart turn cold, I will be very disappointed.”
After saying that, Cao Cao turned around and left, leaving behind a huge head and trembling Liu Xie and Concubine Dong.
Liu Xie trembled like a cicada in the cold and murmured in a daze,"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Zhen, zhen, zhen, I will definitely protect you!”
