The next day, the Cao Army was already packing their luggage and preparing to return.
After all, since they had reached an agreement with River East, there was no need to keep all the troops here.
One had to know that the daily rations of this nearly 300,000-strong army was an astronomical figure.
Therefore, they only needed the Jing State Army to take over Lujiang County.
As for Qichun County, it was basically occupied by the Cao army.
"Is the Prime Minister worried about Liu Xuande?”
Guo Jia looked at Boss Cao's solemn expression and guessed what he was thinking.
Now that everything was in place, the only person who could make the other party worry was Liu Bei.
"The one who knows me is Zhuiyu!"
Cao Cao did not deny his thoughts.
After all, pretending to be stupid in front of smart people would only show his stupidity.
"Prime Minister, you don't have to worry. Liu Bei won't be able to do anything. At least for the next five years, Liu Bei would not pose any threat to the Prime Minister.”
"Five years later, the Prime Minister will have unified the northern part of the Central Plains and Liangzhou will have been pacified.”
Guo Jia shook his head. He had already considered this problem.
"Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up as he asked.
Now, he had formed an inexplicable trust in Guo Jia. As long as the other party spoke, his heart would calm down.
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Boss Cao relaxed a lot, but he was still puzzled.
"Liu Bei went to occupy Luling. I don't know if Sun Quan will attack Liu Bei when he has time.”
"Just this geographical location alone makes it impossible for Liu Bei to develop.”
"The left side of Luling County is the Jingzhou that the Prime Minister occupies. As long as Liu Bei is not crazy, he will not dare to attack Jingzhou. On the right side is Sun Quan, and Liu Bei is also no match for him.”
"The only area of influence that can be expanded is Jiaozhou.”
"Putting aside the fact that Jiaozhou Shixie has been in power for many years, even if Liu Bei takes over Jiaozhou, the ethnic groups in Jiaozhou will be able to delay Liu Bei for a long time.”
Guo Jia spoke tirelessly. At least in his opinion, Liu Bei was not a threat at the moment.
Boss Cao also reacted after sorting out his thoughts.
"Zhuiyu is right!"
Seeing that Boss Cao had already figured it out, Guo Jia did not say anything more.
He had not even settled his own matters yet.
……
"Come, husband, eat a grape!"
Huang Yueying obediently peeled off the grape skin and fed it to Guo Jia.
However, Guo Jia's expression was ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth under the other party's murderous gaze.
Ever since he left Boss Cao's place, he had been eating grapes and cherries for the whole afternoon.
Don't ask why, it was because these two people kept stuffing things into his mouth…
The other person was Sun Shangxiang.
Yesterday, when Zhang Zhao left, he did not take Sun Shangxiang with him and ran away immediately, as if he was afraid that Guo Jia would reject him.
Sun Shangxiang had gone crazy and stayed with him obediently.
Most importantly, Huang Yueying had been following him in the army!
In the end, the two of them met.
Fortunately, Huang Yueying was a person who knew the big picture. Coupled with the influence of the social environment, she was used to it.
However, this did not mean that she had nothing to ask for.
At the very least, she would continue to show off her affection in front of Sun Shangxiang to prove her status as the eldest son of the family.
How could Sun Shangxiang be afraid of Huang Yueying's provocation?
"Husband, you should eat more cherries. This is a good thing to replenish your vital energy!”
Sun Shangxiang then placed the cherry in front of Guo Jia's mouth.
Don't misunderstand this form of address. The two of them hadn't had the chance to do anything yet.
However, Sun Shangxiang was so angry that she followed suit.
Looking at the other party's expectant gaze, Guo Jia could only open his mouth again...
Thinking of the two people waiting for him in Xuchang, and that they would definitely meet in the future, Guo Jia felt a headache coming on.
In the following period of time, Guo Jia also returned to Xuchang with the army in pain and joy.
On the other side, Liu Bei was about to face his first test.
That was how to face Sun Quan's censure!
After all, everyone had agreed to it before.
We were brothers, and we fought Cao Cao hand in hand, but the moment Sun Quan turned his back, he stabbed him.
It was unreasonable.
If Cao Cao insisted on continuing to attack River East, Liu Bei could also take the opportunity to muddle through.
But once Boss Cao retreated, Liu Bei had nowhere to run!
Right now, Sun Quan had also sent Lu Su to reprimand him. If he didn't handle it well, the two sides might directly start a war.
"Kong Ming, what do you think we should do next?”
Liu Bei's expression was unsightly. He had not expected Cao Cao to abandon River East and return to Xuchang.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang had expected this and waved the feather fan in his hand.
"My lord, don't be anxious. Everything is going according to Liang's plan.”
"I'm willing to use my glib tongue to speak about Luling County for my lord!”
Hearing this, Liu Bei was relieved.
After all, the only person he could rely on now was Zhuge Liang.
"Then I'll have to trouble Kong Ming on Zijing's side.”
"Don't worry, my lord!"
After the two of them finished their discussion, Lu Su also arrived outside the meeting hall under the guidance of the soldier.
"Kong Ming, you've made me miserable!”
Lu Su's voice was transmitted from outside before he entered the meeting hall. It sounded extremely sorrowful.
He had been standing on Zhuge Liang's side, but Zhuge Liang had actually played this trick on him.
If it wasn't for Sun Quan knowing his temperament, he probably wouldn't be able to resist killing him right after the battle ended!
Therefore, no matter how good Lu Su's temper was, he was still filled with resentment towards Zhuge Liang.
