Hearing that Guo Yu had agreed to leave the mountain, Cao Cao was overjoyed. He went up and grabbed Guo Yu's arm with a face full of emotion.
"I heard that Liu Xuande went to recruit Kong Ming three times! I reckon that Teacher might have to invite him two or three more times before he's willing to come out! Now that Sir suddenly agreed, it was really a pleasant surprise.”
Guo Yu thought about leaving, but he felt a little sad."I swore to be in mourning for my eldest brother for three years, but now I've come out of seclusion for the Prime Minister and broken my oath. I hope it won't bring about a disaster.”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Cao Cao's heart tightened. Even if there is another disaster, I will invite Wuzu to come and offer a sacrifice to the heavens. I will lose ten years of my life in exchange for your safety!”
Guo Yu could not help but feel touched when he saw his serious expression.
"After my eldest brother left, my old friends became estranged because of my efforts for the Prime Minister. Now, there are very few people close to me. My clan brother Guo Tai is one of them.”
"I will remember Prime Minister's heart today for the rest of my life. From now on, even if the mountains collapse and the earth collapses, I will still be loyal.”
Seeing Guo Yu like this, Cao Cao felt as if Guo Jia had returned. Not only did he know Guo Yu, but he was also extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. He was so excited that tears rolled down his face.
The relationship between the two became much closer.
Cao Pi was very smart. He immediately approached Guo Yu. Although he was only a few years younger than Guo Yu, he was still trying to establish a relationship with Guo Yu as a junior.
"In the past, Father wanted to use Military Advisor Chancellor as our teacher, but unfortunately, Military Advisor Chancellor died early. Now that Sir is willing to come out of the mountain, I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to broaden my horizons with Sir Chang Ban?”
Guo Yu glanced at Cao Pi and saw the ambition on his young face. Although he tried his best to hide it, it could not escape Guo Yu's eyes.
If Cao Pi followed him, even if he did not choose to stand on his side in the future, Cao Pi would still take the initiative to pull his tiger skin.
It was not a good thing to fall into the battle for the throne early on.
Guo Yu smiled and said,"Young Master, you have a body of ten thousand gold. You can't take risks easily." I'm going to Shouchun soon, and I'll probably have to fight Sun Quan from River East. Young Master wasn't good at swimming. If he accidentally fell into the water, the sharp-toothed beasts on the river would be very interested in Young Master.”
A greedy and ambitious person like Cao Pi cherished his life very much. As soon as he heard that there was danger, he immediately smiled embarrassedly and retreated.
Displeasure flashed across Cao Cao's eyes when he saw Cao Pi's reaction. However, he did not say anything in front of everyone.
Xun Yu sensitively caught a trace of disharmony, so he came up to interrupt,""Mister is the younger brother of Fengxiao and is even more resourceful. I think Prime Minister might as well let Mister take on the position of Fengxiao and let him be the military advisor in the future. With this, the soldiers in the army would be happy and their morale would be boosted!”
Cao Cao smiled again. In the past, the officers and soldiers had always respected Feng Xiao. If Sir was willing to take on the position of Military Advisor, then the officers and soldiers in the army would definitely be happy.”
Guo Yu smiled." It's my wish to be able to take charge of the position of elder brother.”
Cao Cao was even happier. I will listen to your words!”
Following which, Cao Cao led everyone to pay their respects to Guo Jia and left Yingchuan.
On the way, Cao Cao, Guo Yu, and Xun Yu sat in the same carriage and listened to Guo Yu's recent plans.
"I just heard from you that you want to go to Shouchun and start a war with River East? But I heard from Wen Ruo that Mister originally wanted to take Jingzhou first? Why did you suddenly attack Jiangdong?"
"This trip to Shouchun is only to deploy an ambush and coordinate with the surrendered generals of River East. It is not to officially start a war with River East.”
"Someone in River East wants to surrender? There was such a good thing? Why don't I know?"
Cao Cao was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
"Prime Minister, do you know the mighty general of River East, Ling Cao?”
"I've heard of him. If I remember correctly, he died a few years ago?”
"That's right. A few years ago, he followed Zhou Yu to attack the land and was shot to death by Gan Ning, the general of the Yellow Ancestor. The one who is coming to surrender is his son, Ling Tong, Ling Gongji.”
"His son? Ling Tong?" Cao Cao was puzzled." He's just a nobody. Why is it worth it for you to personally receive him?"”
Guo Yu smiled.
"Ling Cao was Sun Ce's general, Gan Ning, who killed Ling Cao.”
"When Zhou Yu broke through Jiangxia, Gan Ning killed Patriarch Huang himself! With this contribution, Sun Quan was quite protective of Gan Ning and deliberately suppressed the matter of Ling Cao.”
"Now that Sun Quan is using young generals like Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang have long been dissatisfied. Although Ling Cao wasn't Sun Jian's old subject, he had followed Sun Ce on expeditions. His great hatred was suppressed by Sun Quan, so how could Huang Gai and the others be convinced?”
"Although Ling Tong is an unremarkable general, if he can submit to the Prime Minister, he can greatly incite the hearts of Huang Gai and the others. In the future, the internal conflicts of the higher-ups in River East will definitely be even greater! In the future, if Sun Quan were to do something that made these old bones unhappy, they might follow Ling Tong's example and directly cross the river north to join him! In this way, the hearts of the people in River East would gradually disperse, and it would be easier for them to plot against River East in the future.”
Cao Cao was mesmerized by Guo Yu's words and admired him so much that his face turned red and he started dancing in excitement.
"I didn't expect a small figure to be able to move the entire River East! If it wasn't Mister, who would have thought of such a heavenly plan! My teacher alone is truly better than a million soldiers!”
Guo Yu waved his hand." The Prime Minister is the center of attention in the world. He is so happy because of a simple plan. If outsiders see it, what will happen?" Moreover, the Prime Minister had many strategists under him. He had seen all kinds of schemes, so there was no need to be so surprised.”
Cao Cao smiled embarrassedly and muttered,""I've had many strategists, but I've never seen such a stroke of genius! Putting everything else aside, who would pay attention to a nobody like Ling Tong? It's not my fault for being ignorant. I only blame Sir for being intelligent!”
Guo Yu no longer bothered with him about this problem and immediately started talking about Ling Tong.
"There are many fierce generals under the prime minister, but the prime minister also knows that they are all heroes on horseback! We're about to start a war with Jing and Yang provinces. If we don't have a few powerful water generals to lead the troops, we'll suffer a great loss.”
"Ling Tong might not be famous, but if he's used well, he'll be as brave as Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Taishi Ci! If he comes, the Prime Minister must not underestimate him! To be honest, I've already bragged that as long as he comes, he will be appreciated and reused by the prime minister. At that time, the prime minister can't ruin my stage!”
Cao Cao laughed,"I'll do whatever you say!" Teacher said that he has the talent of a general. Then from now on, I'll hand over our navy to him!”
"There's no need for that. Ling Tong doesn't have the talent to be a commander. I will arrange for the Prime Minister to be the Navy Commander in the future.”
Xun Yu, who had been silent all this while, felt his heart tighten." Sir was a little rash. How could he arrange such things for him? Wouldn't he be making the Prime Minister a figurehead by doing this?
However, when he glanced at Cao Cao, he saw that Cao Cao was not worried at all. Instead, he looked relaxed and expectant. From the looks of it, it was just as he had said when he invited Guo Yu to come out of the mountain. Cao Cao listened to Guo Yu's words!
