Chapter 979: The shocked Cao Cao
The book is followed last time.
Jizhou, Cao Cao's mansion.
"Oh..." Cao Cao looked at the bamboo slips that looked like a mountain in front of him, sighed a long time, rubbed his forehead, and his face was full of helplessness.
Although these things symbolize power to him, too much power is also a headache.
Because he has a lot of territory under his command, he has countless big and small things, and he hasn't had a stable sleep for several days.
"Forget it, who made a family choose this path..." Cao Cao muttered softly before taking down a bamboo slip and reading it carefully.
Although he was dissatisfied with his words, he was still very satisfied with his current life.
He likes this feeling of power!
This fulfilling life made him feel a strong sense of satisfaction.
"Lord, Princess..." Just as Cao Cao was handling official duties, Guo Jia ran in from outside with a loud shout.
"Hu..." Cao Cao was startled and saw that the person coming was Guo Jia, and then he let out a helpless sigh and asked, "Fengxiao, can't you learn from your brother, can you be more steady?"
Cao Cao himself is a person who does not value rules much, but since he has this foundation, he has gradually paid attention to the superiority and inferiority of the superiority.
Because only when the superiors and subordinates are clear can he better rule his own power.
This is why Guo Jia dares to be neither big nor small here. If someone else was replaced, it would be strange if Cao Cao didn’t punish him heavily!
"Yes, yes, yes... I know..." Guo Jia nodded in sincerity, his face changed and he smiled strangely: "But the lord was wrong this time, because the elder brother may not do better than his subordinates."
"Hmm?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and thought of a possible change in his face and asked, "Is there any change in Yanzhou?"
"That's right!" Guo Jia immediately guessed it when he saw Cao Cao, nodded boredly, and said, "Brother has paid so much, but the effect is surprisingly poor!
Not only that, now my brother is trapped in Yanzhou and dare not move.”
"How is this possible?!" Cao Cao suddenly stood up with disbelief when he heard that Li Zhi was trapped in Yanzhou.
In his impression, Li Zhi has always been a very reliable person. How could a mere Yanzhou be difficult for him?
Cao Cao sent Li Zhi to Yanzhou not to attack Yanzhou, but to disturb Yanzhou!
Such a small thing can be done even if he sends Guo Jia, an unreliable person, but why can't Li Zhi, a person who is more powerful than Guo Jia, do it?
What is the reason for this!
After thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately stretched out his hand to Guo Jia, "Hurry! Give the information to a certain family."
"Now" Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao didn't believe it, and immediately handed over the information in his hand to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao received the information, he looked at it impatiently.
The more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned. It took him a long time to put down the information and said in confusion: "In theory, this is not what should be done. How could Brother Xingzhi make mistakes repeatedly?"
That's right, if we don't calculate the psychological conditions of all forces, on the surface, Li Zhi's trip to Yanzhou has indeed made many mistakes!
For example: Li Zhi immediately hurriedly met Wang Gouzi as soon as he entered the city.
For example: Li Zhizai hasn't
When he fully understood Wang Gouzi's psychology, he immediately gave him such a large amount of supplies, which aroused his ambitions.
For example: Li Zhi didn't understand Wang Gouzi's thoughts at all, so he took it for granted that Wang Gouzi would face Zhang Yan.
But when things came to an end, Wang Gouzi suddenly got rid of his shell and tricked Li Zhi, so that Li Zhi had to go into battle himself!
From all this, we can see that Li Zhi has not done anything right since he arrived in Yanzhou.
If Cao Cao hadn't known that his intelligence department was absolutely reliable, he would have thought this intelligence was fake information!
This is very different from what he knew about Li Zhi in the past, and he is not alone at all!
"Oh..." Guo Jia sighed after hearing this, and said helplessly: "I didn't believe it when I first received this information, but after several comparisons, I found that the information was completely correct and was written by General Xiahou himself."
"..." Cao Cao was silent after hearing Guo Jia's words.
If we talk about others, Cao Cao may still doubt the authenticity of this information.
But Cao Cao would never doubt Xiahou Dun!
Because Cao Cao knew that even if Xiahou Dun was caught by the enemy, he would never betray Cao Cao, let alone convey false information to Cao Cao!
so……
"This information is actually true..." Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand indifferently, not knowing what to say.
You know, before Li Zhi set out, he told Cao Cao that he would stand behind the scenes and provoke a confrontation against Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan.
Now, the opposition forces escaped and Li Zhi personally fought with Zhang Yan, which made Cao Cao wonder how to describe this matter.
"Oh..." After sighing a long sigh, Cao Cao sat back in his seat and fell into deep thought.
Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Lord, this is actually a good thing."
"Good thing?" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and asked in astonishment, "How can he explain this?"
"Haha..." Guo Jia took off the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip, and chuckled: "Lord, haven't you noticed it? My brother won many battles and never failed. He is almost becoming the war god in the army!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Cao Cao with great meaning, "But lord, the army should be completely in your hands!
Although my subordinates also believe that my brother will not have any other ideas, they can’t keep others thinking!
Therefore, the elder brother seemed to have failed this time, but he also solved a big problem for his lord.
His failure this time moved him from the position of God, and this will be of great benefit to the lord and brother!”
"..." After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao looked at him blankly and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Cao Cao suddenly chuckled, "Ha! Fengxiao is right. This is indeed a good thing for a certain family and Xingzhi brother."
Through Guo Jia's persuasion, Cao Cao also figured it out. Just Yanzhou, what can he do if he let it develop?!
Cao Cao has occupied most of the Central Plains, and it is just such a small area. Even if it develops again, what can Cao Cao do?
For Cao Cao, the military power in his hands is indeed more important than
A mere Yanzhou is even more important!
Now, as long as you pay a little price, you can make your position stronger, and Cao Cao is of course happy!
In other words, Li Zhi's failure was not only not a bad thing for Cao Cao, but rather a great thing!
After thinking it through, Cao Cao also smiled on his face and joked: "The so-called "silence, a boat capsized in the ditch" refers to Xingzhi's brother, right?
He had all the wind and waves, but he actually fell into a Yanzhou area. After Xingzhi's brother came back, a certain family must laugh at him well, hahaha..."
After saying that, Cao Cao burst into laughter with joy.
"Haha..." Guo Jia also laughed after hearing Cao Cao's words.
Because he didn't have many times to laugh at his brother, if Li Zhi came back now, he would definitely follow Cao Cao to laugh at Li Zhi crazy.
"Oh by the way!" Guo Jia smiled for a while and suddenly remembered the letter, and took out a thick letter from his chest and placed it on Cao Cao's table, "Lord, this is a letter written by General Xiahou to you.
This probably tells in detail everything about my brother and others after they went to Yanzhou."
"Oh?" Cao Cao curiously picked up the letter and opened it up.
At this time, he had completely relaxed and he didn't care what he said in the letter.
He could accept even Li Zhi's complete failure, and what else could he not accept?
So, while dismantling the letter, he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, let's take a good look at how many mistakes Brother Xingzhi made during this trip, right!"
Speaking of this, his hand that opened the letter paused and smiled at Guo Jia, "After a while, some family will read this letter, and then let's calculate how many mistakes the Xingzhi brother has.
Don’t forget to remember, this is one of the few opportunities to laugh at Xingzhi’s brothers, and I must cherish it.”
"Yes, yes!" Guo Jia certainly would not refute when he heard such an interesting thing. He immediately trotted to Cao Cao's desk, picked up the brush and dipped it ink, and looked at Cao Cao with anticipation.
"..." After Cao Cao completely opened the letter and looked at it for a while, his face, which was originally full of smiles, gradually became solemn.
"???" Guo Jia was confused about this and thought to himself: "What exactly is this letter saying?
Why did the lord's face suddenly become ugly?
Could it be that my brother did something stupid in Yanzhou?”
Thinking of this, Guo Jia became even more curious about the contents of the letter.
However, he didn't dare to peek at the letter, so he could only stand there scratching his head, waiting for Cao Cao to read the letter for him.
However, he waited for a long time but didn't see Cao Cao's movement. He secretly glanced at Cao Cao and found that Cao Cao's face had turned into a gray color at this time, and his eyes were filled with strong anger!
Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was really angry, so he asked softly: "Lord, what happened?"
"Oh..." Guo Jia's words woke up the angry Cao Cao. After sighing, he handed the letter to Guo Jia, "You can read it yourself."
After saying that, he rubbed his temples hard with his hands, as if he had a headache.
