"Zian, don't talk nonsense!"
Cao Cao naturally noticed the change in Jia Xu's expression and waved his hand,""Father has Wen He's help, just like Gaozu has Zhang Liang, a thousand horses are nothing.”
Although these words were a true reflection of Cao Cao's current heart, Cao Yun knew that Jia Xu was definitely worthy of this evaluation.
He wouldn't even trade ten thousand warhorses, let alone a thousand.
In fact.
The five strategists under Cao Cao each had their own strengths, but Jia Xu was always the one who hit the nail on the head.
During the battle of Guandu, it was Jia Xu who strongly advocated a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
During the Battle of Red Cliff, it was Jia Xu who strongly advocated that they should not mobilize the army to attack Jiangdong. Unfortunately, Cao Cao did not listen and suffered a serious defeat.
When the situation in the north was in danger, it was Jia Xu's plan to sow discord between Ma Chao and Han Sui, allowing Cao Cao to pacify Guanzhong in one fell swoop. This opened up a bright future for Great Wei.
"My lord, you praise me too much. I'm afraid."
Jia Xu hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands in obeisance." Second Young Master's schemes are profound. I am ashamed of my inferiority. It is already a great fortune to be able to gain the Lord's favor. I definitely dare not compare myself to Zhang Liang…"
"I believe that Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, have never been on good terms. The lord can ban Qiao Mao from taking over Dongjun and conspire against Yanzhou and Hebei.”
Hebei?!"
"Jizhou?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Cao Cao had his own plans for Yanzhou, but he had never thought about Hebei.
"That Yuan Bohai has the reputation of being one of the three dukes for four generations, and now he calls himself the Cheji General…"
"Xu thought that this person was an ambitious person and would never submit to a small county like Bohai.”
"Xu once observed the situation of the four northern provinces. Bing Province is complicated and is adjacent to the South Xiongnu and the Central Plains. With Yuan Bohai's current military strength, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to gain a foothold!”
"Gongsun Zan has a strong army in Youzhou and is located far away in the north of the desert.”
"With that, only Qingzhou and Jizhou are left.”
When Jia Xu said this, he confidently stroked his small mustache and said,""From Xu's point of view, Yuan Bohai will definitely plot against Jizhou…"
"If my lord can establish himself in East County, you can have a share of the profits.”
Hearing this.
Cao Cao's pupils dilated.
The Bohai Sea was adjacent to Hejian. Yuan Shao was originally the prefect of Jizhou. Now that the 18 vassals were meeting, Han Fu was suppressed by Yuan Shao.
The fatuous nature of this man can be foreseen.
However, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were old friends. They knew that Yuan Shao was ambitious and would not yield to a small county.
This was proven by the fact that he had initiated the alliance.
"Good!"
Cao Cao gave Jia Xu an affirmation. Then, he glanced at Cao Yun and asked,"Zian, what do you think of what Wenhe said?!”
Cao Yun shrugged indifferently."
"Father, I think…"
"What Wenhe said makes sense."
Jia Xu was speechless.
Why did these words sound so familiar?
That was not right.
Often, when he said something reasonable, there would always be some mistakes.
Thinking of this…
Jia Xu revealed what he thought was a warm smile and asked shamelessly,""Second Young Master, did Xu say something wrong?"
"You're right."
Cao Yun rubbed his chin and pondered."However, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a share of Yuan Shao's profits.”
"Moreover, even if he wanted to plot against Jizhou, I'm afraid Yuan Shao wouldn't choose father.”
"Why?"
Cao Cao asked.
Cao Yun rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily,
"Would Yuan Shao be interested in your soldiers?!”
Cao Cao,"(#) Convex."
Jia Xu was speechless.
They had only brought a portion of their troops, rations, and supplies.
You, Cao Cao, came to the alliance meeting and even took out your underwear.
Without Wei Zi's support, they would only have 3,000 soldiers at most. Even if they doubled it, it would only be 6,000.
"That was then and that is now!"
Hearing Cao Yun's ridicule, Cao Cao did not give up. Instead, his eyes were burning with passion as he said firmly, Zian, you might not be able to imagine the impact of this feat…"
He was weak now, but that was only limited to his current stage.
Cao Cao believed that as long as the imperial court rewarded him, many talents would join him. It was only a matter of time before his strength increased.
Hearing this.
Cao Yun immediately laughed and rolled his eyes at Cao Cao,"Father, beating up Dong is a heroic act of the 18 dukes. Do you think you did it alone?”
"You're not the only one who's famous!”
"What are you thinking about?"
Cao Cao was speechless.
Cao Cao, who was originally full of vigor, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head when he heard Cao Yun's words.
That's right.
He could use the reputation of attacking Dong to strengthen his troops, but so could the other dukes!
In terms of strategy, he was far inferior to Gongsun Zan and the others.
In terms of status, he lost even more.
That was not right.
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up as he slowly looked at Jia Xu. He stroked his beard and smiled,""There's always a difference."
"Otherwise, why would Wen He seek refuge with me?!”
"Right, Wenhe?"
Jia Xu was speechless.
Don't you know why I came to you?!
With Jia Xu's arrival, Cao Cao naturally could not avoid a banquet. He originally wanted to meet Cai Yan.
However, considering that most of the soldiers in the camp were boorish, Cao Cao dismissed this idea.
Cao Yun didn't like to attend such banquets. When he was about to return to the military camp, Xiahou Yuan came up to him and whispered,""Zian, everything has been arranged."
"That Cai Yan's tent is right next to yours. I've already transferred the guards away for you, don't worry!”
Cao Yun: "????!"
The corner of Cao Yun's mouth twitched fiercely at that time, and he said in a bad mood,
"Uncle Miao Cai, who do you think I am?!”
"Men!"
Cao Yun was speechless.
Alright, there was nothing wrong with it.
