"My lord, that's definitely not what I meant. I just wanted Fengxiao to avoid suspicion.”
Cheng Yu explained and winked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of shrewdness.
Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu had a dispute, and now Guo Jia had one too.
Dian Wei and Li Yuanba had a close relationship.
How could Cao Cao ignore it?
Cheng Yu took the risk of offending Guo Jia, which aroused Cao Cao's suspicious personality.
However, even if Cao Cao was suspicious, he did not ignore Guo Jia.
"Leave this matter to Fengxiao. Zhongde, don't interfere.”
Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said,"Yes."
He had achieved his goal.
As expected.
After returning to Cao Cao's camp, Dian Wei did not continue to be Cao Cao's personal guard.
Instead, he became Li Yuanba's deputy general!
Another valiant general, Xu Chu, was promoted by Cao Cao.
After being alienated, Dian Wei didn't feel unhappy.
If it wasn't for the teacher's instructions, he wouldn't have stayed in the Cao camp.
He might as well go back to serve his teacher and chop wood to feed the horses.
Following Senior Brother Li Yuanba seemed to be a good idea.
A day later, Cao Cao's army set off once again towards Rang City.
Rang City was about 400 miles away from Xuchang.
It was a flat land!
This was also the reason why Cao Cao had always wanted to conquer Nanyang.
With Nanyang County as a barrier, they could better defend against Liu Biao's army.
He wouldn't be attacked the moment the battle started.
Since ancient times, Rang City had always been a strategic location!
Surrounded by mountains.
It is adjacent to Si Li, Yuzhou and Jingzhou.
To the northwest were Crouching Bull Mountain and Bear Ear Mountain.
It was connected to the Qinling Mountains in the west, and Wudang Mountain and Daba Mountain in the southeast.
The south was close to the Han River.
To the southeast is Tongbai Mountain.
Rang City is the gateway to the south!
Nanyang County was known as the number one county in the Three Kingdoms.
At its peak, the population reached more than 2.4 million, and the land was fertile.
It was comparable to a prefecture!
This was also the reason why Zhang Xiu dared to challenge Cao Cao and Liu Biao.
Zhang Xiu had stored a large amount of grain in Rang City, enough to feed the army for a year.
So after Jia Xu suggested Zhang Xiu retreat to Rang City, he agreed without a second word.
The city was sturdy.
Liu Biao was also sent as reinforcements.
Zhang Xiu was not afraid of Cao Cao at all.
Not only that, Yuan Shao, who was far away in Jizhou, wrote a letter to Zhang Xiu.
Supporting Zhang Xiu!
Big brother can't give you any help, but big brother can give you spiritual support.
Zhang Xiu was quite touched.
As soon as Cao Cao's army reached Rang City, Li Yuanba was about to attack the city.
Cao Chun was very embarrassed.
He couldn't persuade her or not.
Why did he have to encounter such an awkward situation?
"General, you should consult the lord!"
Li Yuanba hurriedly went to the commander's tent, but he was chased out by Cao Cao.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Cao Cao pretended to be angry.
Li Yuanba timidly retreated.
He was happy that Dian Wei had returned, so he didn't mind.
Guo Jia also started to contact Jia Xu.
When Dian Wei was released, Jia Xu had already made arrangements.
Thus, it was not difficult for the two of them to secretly contact each other.
In a recent letter, Jia Xu had faintly mentioned "Sir".
Guo Jia finally understood!
No wonder Jia Xu was so outstanding. So he was one of them?
Guo Jia quickly pulled Dian Wei over and scolded him.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?”
" I forgot…" Dian Wei felt wronged.
Guo Jia was instantly disappointed!
He had almost ruined his big plan.
"Sir, why are you taking in disciples everywhere?”
"They're actually on the same side!”
"No wonder Zhang Xiu surrendered before. It was Jia Xu who helped him from behind.”
In this way, it made sense.
However, all of this was ruined by Cao Cao.
"No matter what, I'm still a senior brother. Even if Jia Xu comes, he can only be a junior.”
Guo Jia was happy again.
The next day, Li Yuanba shouted to attack the city again and was taught a lesson by Guo Jia.
"Attack the city, attack the city, all you know is to attack the city. Don't delay the Headmaster's important matter!”
Li Yuanba was baffled.
However, he listened to Guo Jia.
Of course.
This was all thanks to Lin Fan's " orders ".
The arrival of Cao Cao's army gave Zhang Xiu a lot of pressure.
"Yuan Shao's letter has the intention of recruiting me. Wen He, tell me, should I join him?”
Jia Xu shook his head.
"Yuan Benchu is narrow-minded. He can't even tolerate his own brother, so why would he care about an outsider like the lord?”
Why did all the dukes care about reputation?
This was one of the reasons.
If Yuan Shao's reputation was excellent, Jia Xu also would not be able to pick out such a big flaw.
"It's not that serious, right?" Zhang Xiu said in surprise.
Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.
"Then what about our army?" Zhang Xiu continued to ask.
"Why don't we surrender to the Imperial Court?" Jia Xu blurted out.
Zhang Xiu hesitated.
Now that Yuan Shao had invaded Qingzhou and Bingzhou, he had the potential to dominate Hebei.
As long as he defeated Gongsun Zan, there would be no more obstacles.
As for Cao Cao?
At most, they would occupy two states.
As the saying goes, Yuan is strong and Cao is weak.
Furthermore, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao had a blood feud!
Could Cao Cao accept him?
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said," Cao Gong serves the Son of Heaven and commands the world. He has a righteous cause. My lord, you will not suffer if you rely on him."”
"In addition, Cao Gong is weaker than Yuan Shao. If my lord defected to him, the favor would be greater and it would be easier for him to be put in an important position.”
"Duke Cao has the ambition to pacify the world, so why would he be entangled in personal grudges?”
Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement.
Jia Xu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Master, Wen He must end this chaotic world as soon as possible!
Lin Fan sneezed out of nowhere.
Who was so sour?
