Xiangyang.
"Yueying, have you thought about what your uncle said?”
Huang Chengyan looked at Huang Yueying and asked for her opinion.
Unlike other families, Huang Chengyan respected Huang Yueying's own thoughts more.
If it was in an ordinary family, it would be the parents 'orders and the matchmaker's words. However, in Huang Chengyan's case, it was Huang Yueying's own decision.
Huang Yueying blushed.
"Humph, that Mister Zhuiyu himself has never come to visit, so why should I think too highly of myself?”
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something interesting and started laughing unconsciously.
Huang Chengyan could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this. It seemed that he, this girl, had most likely fallen in love.
However, he did not know when the other party had flirted with his daughter.
He was getting more and more curious about Guo Jia.
On the other side, Guo Jia and Boss Cao were walking towards the Xiangyang Prefecture, accompanied by Liu Cong and Cai Mao.
Just as they arrived at Xiangyang, the two of them led the crowd to welcome them outside the city gate.
After they entered the meeting hall, Liu Cong respectfully let Cao Cao sit on the main seat.
"I've long heard of the Prime Minister's great name. Now that I've seen you, you're indeed the backbone of the Han Dynasty!”
"Therefore, I am willing to lead the nine counties of Jing and Xiang to join the Prime Minister.”
Liu Cong didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.
Liu Cong, Cai Mao, and the officials of Jing and Xiang all looked at Cao Cao, wondering how he would respond.
As for his deeper thoughts, he wanted to see what they could get.
Boss Cao had expected this and was not surprised at all.
"I understand your intentions, but Jing Xiang is a place of trouble. It's a good thing that you can get away as soon as possible.”
"Now that the northern part of the Central Plains is at peace, I will report to His Majesty that my nephew will be the governor of Qingzhou and can set off on the same day.”
Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged, and with a single sentence, he sent Liu Cong away from Jingzhou.
Liu Cong's expression changed as he stood up.
"I was born and raised in Jingzhou and am unwilling to leave my homeland. I hope that Prime Minister will retract your order!”
Liu Cong then looked at Cai Mao, hoping that he would plead for mercy.
However, Cai Mao was looking down at his nose, mouth, and heart at this moment. His current position had not even been settled, so how could he be willing to cut off his future because of Liu Cong?
"Nephew, there's no need to say anything else. I'm sending you to Qingzhou for your safety!”
"Wen Ze, you will be responsible for escorting Young Master Liu to Qing Zhou!”
Cao Cao directly said his piece, and Yu Jin also stood out.
"Young Master Liu, please!"
Hatred flashed in Liu Cong's eyes, but he had no choice but to follow Yu Jin down.
However, before Yu Jin left, Boss Cao gave him a look.
"General Cai has made great contributions in offering Jingzhou. From today onwards, he will be the Jingzhou Navy's Grand Commander-in-Chief and the Marquis of Zhennan!”
"General Zhang…"
……
After the rewards were given, everyone left, leaving only Guo Jia and Cao Cao in the meeting hall.
"Zhuiyu, now that the Jing state has been pacified, we only need to send an army to subdue the counties. I believe no one will dare to resist our army.”
Although Boss Cao was asking a question, Guo Jia could clearly see the ambition in Cao Cao's eyes.
"Prime Minister already has an idea in his heart, why ask me?”
Guo Jia shook his head.
Rationally speaking, he did not want Cao Cao to attack Dongwu now.
After all, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu weren't easy to deal with.
In addition, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would definitely go to Dongwu to help. It would not be so easy for Cao Cao to win the Battle of Red Cliff.
However, with him around, he would definitely not easily repeat the same mistake!
"Haha, I want to take down River East in one fell swoop, so that the world can be settled and return to peace and prosperity!”
Cao Cao didn't hide his thoughts and said loudly.
"Zhuiyu is willing to serve the Prime Minister!”
He knew that even if he tried to persuade Cao Cao, he might not be able to listen.
Therefore, Guo Jia simply went along with Boss Cao's words.
As for Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu?
He could take this opportunity to witness the other party's methods!
"Oh right, Prime Minister, I have something else.”
"Zhuiyu, feel free to speak!"
"This is related to Zilong. This expedition to Jiangdong will definitely face that big-eared thief Liu Bei, so I'm afraid Zilong is unwilling to fight.”
Guo Jia greeted Boss Cao in advance. After all, he knew Zhao Yun's temper quite well.
Although he had joined them, it was impossible for him to attack Liu Bei.
"That's not difficult. In that case, General Zhao will follow Zhuiyu during this period of time and protect Zhuiyu's safety.”
Cao Cao frowned and thought of a solution.
"Thank you for your understanding, Prime Minister!"
……
When Guo Jia came out of the meeting hall, it was already late at night.
However, when he passed by a pavilion, Guo Jia stopped in his tracks.
Huang Yueying was sitting on the stone bench with a frown on her face, drawing something with her hand.
The moonlight was bright and clear, making Huang Yueying's pretty face look even more alluring.
Even Guo Jia's heart thumped!
"Is Miss Yue Ying drawing a sketch of a repeating crossbow?”
Guo Jia walked to the back of the other party and took a closer look. He could vaguely make out the outline of the crossbow.
Thinking of the famous Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, Guo Jia had a plan in his heart.
"Ah!"
" Ah!" Huang Yueying cried out. She turned around and looked at Guo Jia angrily.
"That's right, but Mister's actions don't seem appropriate, right?”
"I called out to Young Lady a few times from afar, but it must have been Yueying who was engrossed in it and did not notice!”
Huang Yueying's face flushed red when she heard that. It was unknown whether it was because of her embarrassment or the way she addressed him.
Guo Jia hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to speak.
"I wonder what Yueying thinks of me?”
He couldn't let the girl speak first about this kind of thing…
The bright moon hanging high in the sky seemed to be hiding shyly.
