My subjects are too rebellious!

Guo Jia served as the chief academician of the Sikong Army in Cao Cao's army. His main tasks were to provide advice and suggestions, participate in military law, manage the record room and even the imperial music affairs.

So he had a lot of free time, and therefore Guo Jia was either drinking or on his way to drink every day.

Because of this, he became familiar with Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia outside the door and was very angry.

"Feng Xiao, how many times have I told you to drink less? Your body...Alas!"

I saw a young man standing outside the door. Although he was frail and sick, he had a handsome face and elegant temperament.

Guo Jia's health was rather weak, which formed a sharp contrast with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu standing beside him.

The first thing you notice about Xun Yu is that he is tall, handsome, and has an extraordinary appearance.

There is a sense of elegance.

But it is different for Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu is not some elegant scholar. Not only does he look strong, but his height is also a terrifying eight feet and three inches long.

(You can imagine that Cheng Yu, who is 1.92 meters tall and has a beautiful beard, is definitely a sturdy man full of masculinity.)

Guo Jia stood between the two of them, like a child.

Cao Cao still makes him feel more approachable, after all, they are at about the same altitude.

"Nothing is wrong. My body is clear in my mind."

Guo Jia waved his hand with a gentle smile.

After entering the conference room, he sat down to the left of Cao Cao.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu sat on the right.

"I wonder if the general is worried about anything today."

Guo Jia showed a look as if he saw through everything and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

Thinking of His Majesty, Cao Cao had some concerns.

Xun Yu saw Cao Cao's concerns and asked, "But is it related to Your Majesty? Or is it related to the General of the Northern Expedition?"

Cao Cao looked at the three of them and said with some depression: "It turns out that you three already knew about it."

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the three people, Cao Cao also asked his own questions.

"You tell me, Your Majesty knows Zhu Di's intentions, why doesn't he kill him?"

Xun Yu looked at Zhongde beside him, then looked at Fengxiao opposite him, and spoke first.

"General, in my opinion, your majesty is not trying to stop the killing, but to contain the enemy."

"contain?"

"General, who do you think will have a better chance of winning if a war breaks out in the world today, and who will benefit in the end?"

Cao Cao thought thoughtfully: "You mean Dong Zhuo and Zhao Kuangyin?"

Xun Yu and the other two looked at Wu Sangui, whom Cao Cao automatically ignored, and smiled indifferently.

"General, if His Majesty really orders the execution of Zhu Di, it will be very simple."

"With your majesty's current power, everyone in the capital can already compete with him."

"But if Zhu Di is really killed, who will be sent to the grassland?"

Now Cao Cao finally figured it out. He had always wondered that it would be okay even if His Majesty really killed Zhu Di.

Oboi could also attack the Oirat and other tribes on behalf of Zhu Di.

But now I think about it, it is true that if we had replaced the general who was not familiar with the grassland, we would have suffered a defeat.

The consequences are not something His Majesty can bear now.

Because Your Majesty cannot give him power.

It would be terrible if those local officials found an excuse.

Guo Jia smiled and said loudly: "In fact, your majesty just thinks that even if Zhu Di controls the grassland, he may not be his opponent."

Cao Cao waved his hands in disbelief: "Feng Xiao, you are exaggerating."

Guo Jia didn't care: "General, think about your majesty's recent actions. Does it look like the traps we set for the enemy when we march and fight?"

"It is like this that one person's trouble is eliminated and the world's expectations are stopped."

"The current emperor would never do that. General, you must be careful and cautious."

"What Fengxiao said is also what we think."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xun Yu immediately expressed his thoughts, and even Cheng Yu beside him nodded.

Seeing that his three advisers had all agreed on something, Cao Cao didn't think much about it.

Then he asked another question.

"So, do you think I should tell His Majesty this information?"

Cheng Yu spoke first this time: "Although your majesty knows what General Zhengbei is thinking, he has not revealed a single detail. In fact, he does not want others to know what he is thinking."

"If the general wishes to report this matter to His Majesty, I think that would be just what His Majesty wants."

When Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia and Xun Yu both nodded in agreement, he no longer hesitated.

"I will go and see His Majesty now."

Only after Cao Cao and the two Tiger Guards left did Guo Jia look at the sky outside.

He said with a half-smile: "Calculating the time, that person has already run away."

Xun Yu also stared at the scene outside the door and said meaningfully, "So what if he didn't run away? That person didn't want to hurt him."

Cheng Yu behind them looked at the two of them, speechless.

"Fengxiao and Wen Ruoke are really good at this. The general now looks like he is devoted to his country and is completely loyal to His Majesty."

"Aren't you mad?"

Xun Yu turned around and stared at Cheng Yu blankly: "Why are you angry?"

Guo Jia did not answer, but just glanced at Xun Yu and then at Cheng Yu.

With a half-smile on his face, he took out the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip.

...

"Mom, will Dad come back?"

A chubby little boy, about eleven or twelve years old, stood next to his mother and asked obediently.

But the woman just stared at the dagger in her hand and did not come back.

Just as the little boy was about to ask again, a chubby hand beside him pulled him.

The boy turned around and saw his fat and fair brother.

There is a pair of beautiful dimples on his round face, and his naive look is extremely cute.

"Brother, why are you pulling me?"

The fat boy stood on tiptoe with some difficulty and touched his brother's head.

"Gao Xu, Dad is going to the war, he will definitely come back."

"Take your brother out to play, and don't disturb your mother."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his mother's back, then looked at his brother.

"Brother, let's stay with mother. I promise not to make any noise and not to make mother angry."

Zhu Gaochi looked at his brother and smiled with some relief.

My younger brother has finally grown up and knows how to feel sorry for mom.

Xu Miaoyun, who was standing by, looked at the dagger in her hand with a sad expression, thinking what if...

It turned out that this was Zhu Di’s general’s mansion, and this was Fa’s wife, Xu Miaoyun.

Those little boys were Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui.

Although he was unwilling, in order to accomplish great things, Zhu Di had no choice but to leave his wife and children in the capital.

"General, don't worry. I promise that His Majesty will never harm anyone in the General's Mansion."

Zhu Di, however, looked listless and just kept riding his horse wildly.

It seemed that only by reaching the grassland as soon as possible could he release his anger.

And inside the imperial palace, outside the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, General Cao Cao, the Southern Expedition Commander, is here to see you."

"Xuan."

"Announce, General Cao Cao, the Southern Expedition Commander, is here to see you!"

Zhang Rang's penetrating voice echoed in the hall.

After a while, Cao Cao stretched his body slightly and walked in.

Looking at Cao Cao's current appearance, Qin Chuan is still satisfied.

It's good to have some awe now.

"General Cao Cao pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

"General Cao, please stand up."

"Zhang Rang, please take a seat."

Qin Chuan's attitude towards Zhu Di and Cao Cao was obviously different.

Cao Cao was somewhat flattered.

If it were in the past, Cao Cao would have resisted, because the emperor at that time was weak, and this move was nothing more than an attempt to win him over.

But now, what does this mean?

"General Cao came to see me today, I am very happy."

"I wonder why General Cao came here today?"

Cao Cao looked at the emperor with a smile on his face and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is General Zhu Di, the Northern Expedition Commander."

"You have a rebellious heart!"

Qin Chuan was happy to hear this.

He originally thought that the first people to report would be Yan Song and others.

I didn’t expect it to be Cao Cao.
