Not long after seeing Guo Yu's letter, Xun Yu was dismissed from his post.
After Cao Cao restored the Prime Minister system, the court no longer had the position of the three dukes, and Xun Yu temporarily replaced the Great Minister of Agriculture.
When Cao Cao was at war, Xun Yu had always been in charge of the country's taxes, including money and grain. The officials in the court would not be too suspicious of this arrangement.
In the future, if Cao Cao were to accept the title of Duke and Xun Yu was not in his position, he could pretend to be deaf and dumb and live in peace with Cao Cao.
After receiving the transfer order, Xun Yu was overjoyed.""I have a good relationship with the Prime Minister, but if I help the Prime Minister, I will lose the righteousness of the monarch and minister. If I help the emperor, I will destroy my relationship with the Prime Minister, and I will be in a dilemma every day! Now that he was the finance minister, he no longer had to worry about this problem!”
After Dong Zhao took up the position of Shangshu Ling, he was also very happy. When he came to thank Cao Cao for his help, he started to hint wildly.
"The Prime Minister destroyed the Yuan family, recovered the north, wiped out the Wuhuan, and recovered Liaodong. Now, he has awed the four seas and made great contributions. Even the ancient Duke of Zhou cannot compare! In my opinion, the emperor is heartless to the prime minister, and there is no clear reward and punishment. With the Prime Minister's achievements, in ancient times, he should have long established a country and become king! I will speak out for the Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao was stunned and overjoyed!
"No wonder Mister recommended this person! It turned out that this Dong Zhao was really suitable to be the Shangshu Ling!”
From then on, Cao Cao and Dong Zhao became close.
……
In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed, and it was the year 208.
In Jiangdong, Governor Zhou Yu often led the navy to attack Jiangxia, but Ancestor Huang was not an ordinary person, so Zhou Yu made little progress.
At the same time, he also sent people to keep an eye on Cao Cao. Not long after, he found Cao Cao building a dock and ships.
Therefore, Zhou Yu suggested to Sun Quan," The north is already settled, and the Cao rebels have the help of that demon Guo Yu. I think that he will soon attack Jingyang in the south! Jiangdong has a natural barrier, enough to stop Cao Cao. I'm afraid Liu Biao is weak and Cao Cao will attack Jingzhou, threatening the west of Yangzhou! Lord, please give me more elite soldiers so that I can break through Jiangxia and seize Jingzhou for you!”
"Cao Cao has started building ships? He really wants to attack me! Then, go out and leave Sun Jing's troops to guard Jiangdong. The other navy, Gan Xingba, Taishi Ziyi, and the other generals will all be under your command!”
With Sun Quan's help, Zhou Yu once again sent out a large number of troops and headed straight for Jiangxia!
……
Guo Tai walked into the thatched cottage with a letter in his hand.
"As per your instructions, I have already sent people to gather information in the Jing Yang area. Recently, I heard that the Jiangdong Governor Zhou Gongjin has received Sun Quan's support and is leading a large navy to attack Jiangxia once again!”
Guo Yu took the letter and read its contents. He had a better grasp of Jing Yang's situation.
"It looks like Patriarch Huang is doomed. Gan Ning is going to kill him!”
"A few years ago, when Gan Ning was still a subordinate of Patriarch Huang, he shot and killed the Krupp Breaking Lieutenant Ling Cao. Now, Ling Cao's son, Ling Tong, has inherited his father's position and continues to be the Krupp Breaking Lieutenant.”
"If Gan Ning kills Patriarch Huang, he'll be able to make a great contribution. Sun Quan will definitely protect him! If he didn't let Ling Tong take revenge for his father's death, what would Ling Tong think? Ha…"
Guo Yu chuckled and wrote a letter.""I'll have to trouble elder brother to send this letter to Sun Quan's subordinate, Ling Tong and Ling Gongji.”
"Who's Ling Tong?" Guo Tai was shocked. Why did Second Brother write to him? If the people in the court knew that Second Brother had dealings with Sun Quan, they would definitely criticize you!”
"It's fine. Just do as I say.”
Guo Tai had no choice but to send someone to deliver the letter.
However, as the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and a red person is hated. Guo Tai's people had just crossed the river by boat when a report flew into the Prime Minister's residence.
"Guo Yu sent someone to cross the river and go south with a letter.”
It was just a few words, but it contained infinite mystery.
What was the content of the letter? Who were they going to meet in River East? What was Guo Yu trying to do?
This was the hidden meaning of the letter.
Cao Cao thought for a while and suddenly laughed,""Sir is determined to fulfill his filial will and help me establish my foundation. If I doubt him, what difference is there between me and a beast?”
Therefore, the letter was burned by him. However, he was still very interested in what Guo Yu had sent people to do in River East.
……
As Guo Yu had expected, Zhou Yu's heavy army descended. Huang Zu could not withstand it and was directly wiped out in one wave!
When Huang Zu tried to escape, he was ambushed by Gan Ning and killed by him.
In order to reward Gan Ning, Sun Quan held a banquet at Chaisang's residence to celebrate.
During the banquet, Sun Quan toasted Gan Ning and boasted to show his attitude toward meritorious officials. Gan Ning was so proud of himself that Ling Tong was furious.
His colleagues knew that Gan Ning was going to be promoted, so they all toasted him. Only Ling Tong lowered his head and drank.
After a few drinks, Ling Tong's head began to heat up. Blood rushed to his brain, and he finally lost his mind. He suddenly stood up and drew his sword, stabbing at Gan Ning!
"Gan Ning! You killed my father, so I'll give you my life today!"
Ling Tong was strong, but he had been drinking and his limbs were weak. He was surrounded by fierce generals, and Gan Ning was no weakling. Not only did Ling Tong not get his revenge, but he was also lectured. He felt so aggrieved that he almost killed himself with his sword.
"General, someone outside requests an audience." Just as Ling Tong was feeling extremely furious, a trusted aide came to report.
"No! I won't see anyone!" Ling Tong immediately roared.
"But that person claimed to have come from the north and had an important letter for the general.”
"North? I don't know anyone there, so why would they send a letter?”
The north was Cao Cao's territory. Ling Tong, who had failed to take revenge, was furious. At this moment, he even had the thought of joining Cao Cao. Therefore, he suppressed his anger and decided to meet this uninvited guest.
After Guo Tai's men entered, they looked at Ling Tong and asked him to dismiss everyone before taking out the letter.
After opening the letter, Ling Tong saw what Guo Yu had written for him.
"Your father was killed by Gan Ning. He died with grievances for many years, and he has been waiting for you to avenge him! Gan Ning killed Huang Zu and became famous. Sun Zhongmou wanted to show his gratitude and reward Gan Ning. How could he let you avenge your father?”
"Revenge for your father is only right and proper. If you don't take revenge, even Sun Zhongmou will secretly look down on you. Unfilial person, Sun Zhongmou will definitely not put you in an important position!”
"You are destined to be unable to avenge your father in River East, and you will never be able to stand out. You will also be laughed at and live a mediocre life!”
"I know that you are brave and outstanding. You are a hero of your life. You have the ambition to avenge your father, and you also have the wish to make contributions and glorify your family! Your situation today is the same as when I first heard that my brother Guo Fengxiao died in the north. I want to avenge him and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Guo family for him!”
"Prime Minister Cao is a wise ruler of the world. He is about to lead his army south, and the only commander in the army is the Water War! If you are willing to come, you will definitely be put in an important position by the Prime Minister. Just like me, you will be able to take revenge and achieve success!”
