Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

In order to make Xun Yu and Cao Cao believe it completely.

I have no other thoughts.

Also to give myself more time to prepare.

Liu Bei decided to send another messenger to Yecheng.

In order to make this true.

Liu Bei personally went to the room where Xun You was imprisoned.

He informed them that he was planning to exchange Xun You for food.

To show my sincerity.

Liu Bei said that Xun You could write a letter to Xun Yu to report his safety.

Seeing that Liu Bei actually wanted to exchange himself for food.

Xun You felt insulted instantly.

But then I thought about it.

As a direct descendant of the Xun family, he was also a well-known figure among the Yingchuan gentry.

He remained a prisoner of Liu Bei.

If this gets out, it will be the Xun family that will be embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, Xun You finally decided to write a letter to Xun Yu.

Under Liu Bei's gaze.

Xun You wrote on the letter:

"Please rest assured, Uncle and Sikong, You is doing well now. Although Uncle Liu and I are from different factions, he still respects You!"

"I heard that Emperor Liu wants to exchange You for 200,000 dan of grain. If there's any surplus grain, You will be happy to exchange it for You. If there's not enough grain, You can have two meals a day with Emperor Liu!"

Xun You raised his hand and wrote down dozens of words.

After writing, Xun You handed the letter to Liu Bei.

After reading the letter, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After bowing and saying goodbye to Xun You, he turned around and came to Xu Shu.

"Sir, do you find anything unusual in the content of this letter?" Liu Bei asked.

"No!" Xu Shu shook his head.

"In that case, please imitate Xun You's handwriting and copy the content. I will send someone to deliver it to Yecheng!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Well...it's as it should be!"

Seeing Liu Bei so cautious, Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction.

……

Half a month later, in the afternoon.

Xun Yu's residence.

Liu Bei's messenger found Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu took the letter.

But this time, it was not opened directly.

Instead, he asked his servants to take him directly to Sikong Mansion.

Inside the Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao is playing chess with Guo Jia at this moment.

I heard the servant say that Xun Yu had important matters to report.

This time, Cao Cao did not let Guo Jia avoid.

Instead, he asked his servants to bring Xun Yu in directly.

"Sikong, Liu Bei has sent another letter!"

Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, Xun Yu handed the letter to Cao Cao.

Looking at the intact clay seal on the envelope.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.

next moment.

Cao Cao opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and invited Xun Yu and Guo Jia to look at it together.

It was only on a small piece of paper.

It was written in bold: "Please rest assured, Uncle and Minister of Works... You will have enough food and clothing with Uncle Liu!"

Although the handwriting was copied by Xu Shu.

But the content remains unchanged.

At this moment, I saw the content of the letter.

Cao Cao and the other two couldn't help but frown.

From the tone of his voice, the three of them felt that this tone did not sound like what Xun You would say.

But intuitively, the three of them felt that the letter was indeed written by Xun You.

Since it is Xun You's work.

Then he must have other purposes in delivering this letter!

"Lord Xun, what do you think the significance of Gongda's letter is?"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this.

After a long time, Xun Yu shook his head and said:

"Based on my understanding of Gongda, he would never say something irrelevant. I firmly believe that if he wrote the letter, he would definitely convey some information to us!"

"But unfortunately, this letter must have been strictly reviewed by Liu Bei before it was passed on. It is even said that the content written by Gongda is far more than what we see now. However, due to the incomplete information, I can't guess what Gongda meant to convey!"

Hearing Xun You say this, Cao Cao nodded helplessly, and then turned his gaze to Guo Jia.

"I just used various methods, including splitting characters, hiding characters, and returning characters, but I couldn't figure out Gongda's true intentions!"

Guo Jia shook his head.

Seeing that Xun Yu and Guo Jia were helpless.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look disappointed.

……

at this time.

There were hurried footsteps behind the three of them.

Then, Xu Chu came to Cao Cao and said excitedly:

"My lord, the Fourth Young Master's army is back!"

"The Fourth Young Master is currently handing over military power at the camp outside the city. It won't be long before the Fourth Young Master enters the city!"

"Zijian is back!"

Cao Cao was shocked.

But the next moment, Cao Cao was stunned.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

Meet Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

At this moment, he was looking at himself seriously.

Cao Cao knew that the three of them had the same idea.

That’s right, the person Cao Cao and the other two were thinking of at this moment was Jia Xu!

Cao Cao had many advisers under his command, and all of them were far superior to ordinary people.

But actually.

These advisers under Cao Cao each have different focuses.

Like Xun Yu, he was good at handling government affairs.

Even the strategies are mostly upright.

This has to do with his background!

As for Cheng Yu, he is good at playing against the odds.

The more unfavorable the situation is for Cao Cao, the more valuable Cheng Yu's strategy becomes.

However, most of Cheng Yu's strategies are to harm others and benefit himself.

Therefore, Cao Cao generally did not use his strategies unless it was absolutely necessary.

Guo Jia, on the other hand, is good at winning people's hearts.

Guo Jia was able to offer different strategies based on the different personalities of different people, which could be said to be the right medicine for the right disease.

Of course, Guo Jia is good at winning people's hearts.

But among Cao Cao's advisers.

The person who is best at winning people's hearts is Jia Xu.

But Jia Xu came up with those strategies.

They are all very malicious and against the harmony of nature.

Therefore, Cao Cao would not look for Jia Xu unless it was a life-and-death situation!

And now, it is a matter of life and death.

Because of the territory occupied by Liu Bei.

But it’s the land of Qingzhou and Xuzhou!

Faced with the news brought back by Xun You, Cao Cao must get to the bottom of it.

"Captain Xu, go get Wen He here right now, and hurry!"

Cao Cao said seriously.

"Here!"

Xu Chu bowed and clasped his fists.

……

the other side.

After Cao Zhi completed the handover of troops with Xiahou Dun outside the city.

He took Cao Zhang, Zhao Yun and Jia Xu with him and rode into Ye City.

Looking at the talented men and beautiful women in the city dressed in gorgeous clothes.

From time to time, shouts can be heard in the streets and alleys.

The aroma of wine and food wafts from pubs and restaurants from time to time.

Only then did Cao Zhi feel that he had returned to the world of normal people.

When I think of my northern expedition.

It lasted for two months.

Cao Cao couldn't help but lament the backwardness of ancient transportation.

"Why is it that in all the time-travel novels I read, the protagonists either build trains or ships, or at worst, cannons?"

"Damn it! If I had known I would have studied science!"

"No, I'm so tired this time, I must ask Boss Cao for more benefits!"

Cao Zhi was venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

While thinking about what benefits he should ask Cao Cao for.

"Tap..."

at this time.

The sound of hurried horse hooves came from the front of Cao Zhi and others.

The next moment, Xu Chu's figure appeared alone in the sight of Cao Zhi and others.

"Shit, I'm the hero who recaptured Youzhou, and yet they only sent Xu Chu to greet me!"

Cao Zhi was dissatisfied in his heart.

"Greetings to the Fourth Young Master!"

Xu Chu clasped his fists and said.

Then, without waiting for Cao Zhi's response, Xu Chu looked at Jia Xu and said sternly:

"Mr. Jia, Sikong wants to see you. Please come with me to Sikong Mansion!"

Cao Zhi: “???”

Jia Xu: “???”

Cao Zhang: “???”

"Ahem..." Cao Zhi smiled.

"Captain Xu, did father send you here just to pick up Mr. Jia? Didn't he mention us?"

Cao Zhi pointed at himself, then at Cao Zhang, and then at Zhao Yun.

"No, what's wrong?"

Xu Chu scratched his head and said with a puzzled look.
