Cao Cao exclaimed, and then looked at Guo Jia questioningly.
All the intelligence networks of the Cao Cao Group are handed over to Guo Jia.
In other words, the first person to learn all the information was Guo Jia, followed by Cao Cao.
This is also due to Cao Cao's trust in Guo Jia.
Facts have proved that Guo Jia has never betrayed Cao Cao's trust.
Every time there is information, Guo Jia will immediately find Cao Cao.
This time was no exception. Cao Cao preconceived that Guo Jia had just obtained the information and immediately came to report to him.
But Xun Yu learned about this, which meant that Guo Jia's information was leaked!
This problem is very serious for Cao Cao!
Guo Jia was also puzzled and he swore that nothing would be leaked.
The messengers ran all night to deliver the information, and Guo Jia didn't delay even a moment, and immediately came to find Cao Cao to report.
"Wen Ruo, how did you find out?"
Guo Jia's tone was full of anxiety and urgency. He was extremely conceited and would not allow himself to make such a mistake!
Xun Yu was confused by Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and his handsome face was full of doubts.
"What, is this information very confidential?"
Guo Jia nodded repeatedly and became nervous.
"Of course! I have just received this news, so I will report to the lord immediately!"
Xun Yu also had a joking look on his face. He had never seen Guo Jia like this before.
"Is your information not very good? I'm afraid the whole of Xuchang knows this news."
"What!"
Guo Jia's eyes widened and his voice became much louder.
"How can this be!"
This is such a failure for Guo Jia, who prides himself on being extremely intelligent!
Father, like son.
Seeing the faint sneer on Xun Yu's face, Cao Cao immediately understood.
Xun Yu did it on purpose!
This must be in retaliation for Guo Jia's just mentioned proclaiming himself king!
"Wen Ruo, stop teasing Feng Xiao."
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with doubts, loss and self-blame. He had completely lost his luster.
How could Cao Cao tolerate his most trusted advisor becoming like this!
Xun Yu shook his head slightly and reported to Cao Cao.
"My lord, I did not lie. The envoy from Yizhou came to Xuchang, and I just listened to what the envoy said."
"And I also heard that the Yizhou mission is trumpeting Liu Zhang's achievements!"
So that’s it!
Guo Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would have racked his brains and couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Wen Ruo, why didn't you tell me earlier! Look how frightened you are!"
Guo Jia's complaint not only received no apology from Xun Yu, but instead received a cold snort.
"I wonder if you still dare to talk nonsense!"
Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and finally said nothing.
He had a deep friendship with Xun Yu, so he naturally knew what his ideals were.
Seeing this situation, Cao Cao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Wen Ruo, what are the Yizhou envoys doing here? Are they looking for you?"
Xun Yu nodded and ignored Guo Jia.
"My lord, the Yizhou envoy came to pay tribute and brought Shu brocade, salt, treasures, jade, etc."
"By the way, there is also the Shu five-baht coin cast by Liu Zhang, which he said was specially presented to His Majesty."
Cao Cao raised his right hand and stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
For so many years, Liu Zhang has never paid any tribute, so why did he come at this time?
"Wen Ruo, did they explain their intention?"
"No, they said they just came to see His Majesty."
Xun Yu was also very confused, but unfortunately no matter how he inquired, he did not get any useful information.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia, hoping that his mastermind could give an answer.
Unfortunately, Guo Jia received too little information and could not guess its purpose.
"My lord, you can wait until tomorrow when the envoy from Xuanyizhou comes to see Your Majesty. It will be clear by then."
Seeing that Guo Jia didn't see Liu Zhang's intentions, Cao Cao could only nodded helplessly.
"That's all..."
"My lord, what did you mean by driving the tiger and devouring the wolf?"
After all, Xun Yu was still a little worried when it came to the issue of becoming king.
"Fengxiao, tell me."
Cao Cao passed the right of interpretation to Guo Jia, and he wanted to think about Liu Zhang's intentions again.
Guo Jia did not refuse and quickly explained to Xun Yu.
"Wen Ruo, Yuan Shao mobilized 100,000 border guards and tens of thousands of county soldiers in Yecheng, preparing to march south to the Central Plains again."
"Now after Liu Zhang's victory in Liangzhou, his power is unstoppable!"
"In order to prevent us from being attacked on both sides, I gave my lord a plan and asked the Xianbei people to block Liu Zhang for us."
Xun Yu nodded with some understanding, but was still not surprised.
"Yuan Shao has annexed the four states and is sure to make a comeback. It's just that his border guards are hard to deal with..."
Xun Yu never thought that Yuan Shao could be completely defeated in the battle of Guandu, so another war between Cao and Yuan was almost inevitable.
"Wen Ruo, fortunately the Xianbei people walked slower, otherwise we wouldn't have been so lucky in the previous battle of Guandu!"
Guo Jia was very lucky from the beginning to the end. If the Xianbei people left early, Yuan Shao would have no worries.
Once the number of people in Guandu exceeds 100,000, it is uncertain whether we can survive until Xu You comes to vote.
"What? Are you, a prodigal son, still afraid?"
"Afraid? Haha..."
Guo Jia chuckled and returned to his extremely confident look.
"Fengxiao, I'm afraid your plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves will come to nothing. I heard that Liu Zhang is preparing to return to Chengdu."
As soon as Xun Yu said these words, Guo Jia's smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Wen Ruo, who did you listen to?"
"Of course he is the envoy from Yizhou."
Cao Cao, who was thinking about it at first, woke up after hearing the news.
"Wen Ruo, what did the envoy from Yizhou say?"
"My lord, Liu Zhang wiped out 400,000 Qiang people in two battles. He himself suffered extremely serious losses in troops and generals. He no longer has the power to conquer."
"According to the envoy from Yizhou, Han Sui left hundreds of thousands of refugees to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang not only accepted them all, but also took the initiative to provide food to feed them."
"Now the Yizhou Army has not only suffered a serious loss of strength, but also has a serious shortage of food and grass. How can it have the power to advance eastward?"
Looking at the serious faces of Cao Cao and Guo Jia, Xun Yu was a little puzzled.
"Lord, it's a good thing that Liu Zhang is unable to advance eastward. At least for a while, we don't have to consider the threat from the west!"
Cao Cao frowned, and there was an obvious word "Sichuan" on his forehead.
The "good things" Xun Yu said did not ease his bad mood at all.
