Xuchang was quiet.
However, under this calm surface, the core employees of the Cao Corporation were all worried.
On one hand, there was no news of Guo Yun after he went to Qingzhou.
On the other hand, Liu Zhang of Sichuan and Ma Teng of Liangzhou seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and were eyeing them covetously.
"Report!"
A scout ran into the Prime Minister's mansion.”
"Tell me quickly."
Cao Cao immediately stopped the meeting and asked anxiously,"Is there any news about abstruse immortals?"
The scout gulped and said in one breath,"General Bian Xi has an urgent report. General Guo Yun is suspected of treason.”
What?
Everyone widened their eyes and stood up.
Guo Yun betrayed the country?
Not only did Guo Jia not believe it, even Cao Cao did not dare to believe it.
" How, how is this possible?!"
Xun Yu, who was the most surprised, actually stepped forward and snatched the report from the scout.
Then, he frowned.
"Wen Ruo, what happened?”
Guo Jia was the most anxious and urged.
"Eight days ago, abstruse immortals transferred sixty thousand dan of grain from Xu Prefecture…"
"Right now, Bian Xi has ordered people to come to Xuchang to borrow grain from the lord…the amount is 200,000 dan.”
Xun Yu handed the urgent report to Guo Jia.
Borrow food?
If this wasn't aiding the enemy, then what was it?
Even Guo Jia couldn't find any reason to absolve Guo Yun.
Everyone looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes.
Soon, they turned to Cao Cao.
"Hahahaha, I thought it was a big deal.!”
Cao Cao closed the report, his face twitching as he laughed.
Then, he stopped smiling and his face darkened. He slammed the table and said,""Go and reply to the abstruse immortal. Tell him that we don't have any food, but we only have one life!”
Guo Jia was speechless.
Xun Yu,"X X"
Xun You:||| )︴”
Jia Xu:| (* mouth `)"
"My lord, don't be angry. Mystic Immortals might want this grain for other purposes.”
Guo Jia racked his brains but couldn't think of a reason. He comforted her first,"How precious is the lord's life? How can you joke about it like this?”
"It's not mine, it's yours."
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and said,"200,000 dans can provide food for 200,000 soldiers for three months. Fengxiao, with your brother's talent, do you think he can take down Xu Prefecture in three months?”
Guo Jia was speechless.
Hiss?
When Cao Cao said this, everyone gasped!
Three months?
Hehe!
How many days had Guo Yun been in Guandu?
In seven days, he played with Yuan Shao's 420 thousand troops.
Xu Prefecture only had 30,000 guards. Against Guo Yun, who led 200,000 soldiers, 12 hours was the limit.
"My lord…"
Xun Yu wanted to say something to persuade him, but he found that any reason was useless.
"Don't just stand there in a daze. Tell me quickly, what's the solution now?!”
Cao Cao saw that everyone was frowning even more than he was, and his mood became even worse.
What time was it?
If abstruse immortals rise up, who among you can compete with him?!
"My lord, this is actually just our imagination. The real situation might not be like this. This subordinate feels that there is no need to worry too much.”
Just as Xun Yu finished speaking, Jia Xu shook his head and said,""That being said, everyone knows what Liu Bei's 200,000 strong army lacks the most…Once they have sufficient rations, they will be like a tiger with wings, galloping through the Central Plains!”
Cao Cao sighed and shook his head in pain.
After pondering for a while, Xun Yu spoke again,""My lord, why don't you let Bian Xi send a message to the abstruse immortal? Call him back to Xuchang and ask him!”
Cao Cao did not reply, but from his expression, it was clear that he was even more dissatisfied with Xun Yu's suggestion.
Summon him back to Xuchang?
If he was willing to come back, it would prove that Guo Yun did not betray him.
And he had listened to Bian Xi's worries and suspected that a loyal minister wanted to hurt Guo Yun's heart. What if he really rebelled?
If he didn't come back, he might even lose Yuzhou, let alone Xuzhou.
"For now, the only way is for me to personally go to Qing Zhou to find Xuan Xian.”
After thinking for a long time, Guo Jiayi said seriously,"If he really dares to do something treasonous, don't blame me, as his elder brother, for enforcing the family law!”
Cao Cao,"Convex!"
Xun Yu,"(o) Convex."
Jia Xu,"Convex o(Greatest Mouth Greatest)o Convex."
Xun You was speechless.
Enforcing the family law?
What a joke!
Big brother, if Guo Xuanxian rebelled, how could you enforce the family law with just three taels of meat?!
"Fengxiao wouldn't want to escape from punishment, right?”
Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia, only to see the latter's face filled with rage."Wenhe, don't slander me. My family is still in Xuchang. Where can I run to?!”
Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled brightly." Fengxiao, you know me. It's my bad habit to consider everything."”
"I don't know!"
Guo Jia was furious.
"You guys are too concerned."
Xun You, who had been silent all this while, stroked his chin and said slowly,""My lord, if Xuan Xian really had evil intentions, why would he let Bian Xi send a message? Wasn't this unnecessary? He even specially asked us to guess his thoughts?”
"With the wisdom of abstruse immortals, how could they do such a foolish thing?”
Xun You paused and sorted out the incident.""The lord has ordered Bian Xi to cooperate fully with the abstruse immortal. He wants Xu Prefecture, and now Xu Prefecture is surnamed Guo.”
"Obviously, he didn't do that.”
"Therefore, we can basically rule out the absurd speculation that abstruse immortals are traitors.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression softened.
Guo Jia also frowned and pondered. Then, he nodded."It is indeed chaotic to be concerned. Otherwise, with my lord's intelligence, how could he not have thought of this?”
Everyone rolled their eyes at Guo Jia.
Are you talking about yourself?
He even used his lord to cross the bridge?
Cao Cao didn't care about these details. He rolled his eyes and asked,""Gongda, then tell me, what does this abstruse immortal want with 200,000 dans of grain?”
"My lord, Gongda is comparable to a Xuan Immortal. I can't guess his plans either.”
Xun You shook his head and said,""Lord, wouldn't you know if you directly let Zhongkang escort 200,000 dan of grain over?”
Cao Cao,"Convex!"
Cao Cao's mood, which had finally calmed down, exploded again. He said firmly,
"No, even if you kill me, there will be no food!”
Xun You:| (* mouth `)"
"Gongda, there's still a month before the autumn harvest. Our army only has four hundred thousand dan of rations.”
Xun Yu explained," If we give the Xuan Immortals 200,000 stones, once a war breaks out, our army will fall into a predicament of no food. You have to understand my lord on this point."”
"Alright, stop talking."
After Xun You's analysis, Cao Cao's heart calmed down and his mood improved. He said,""Stinky brat, you keep thinking about digging up the lord's secrets. Let Bian Xi reply to him. If he wants food, unless the sun rises from the west, let him think of a way himself!”
"Also, tell him to scram back to Xuchang in the next few days. Does he really think that Qingzhou is a safe haven?”
"I'm so angry!"
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, hurried footsteps came from outside."Report!"
Everyone looked at each other. Another urgent report?
"My lord, General Xu Huang has reported urgently: We don't have enough rations to support our return to Xuchang, please allocate 50,000 dan of rations…"
Cao Cao was speechless.
Guo Jia:||| )︴”
Xun Yu,"…"
Xun You was speechless.
F * ck!
Is this over?
Just as Cao Cao was about to fly into a rage, Xun You received the urgent report and said with his eyes wide open,"" My lord, the 5,000 Tiger Leopard Battalion's rations are indeed insufficient…because Xu Huang has taken in 70,000 soldiers from Qingzhou…"
Xun You said.
The entire hall was silent.
Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially Cao Cao, whose mouth was wide open.
Xu Huang?
Treason?
Could this news be trusted?
