From the appearance point of view, Jia Xu doesn't have much out of the ordinary. He is neither as handsome as Xun Yu, nor as resolute as Cheng Yu, let alone as handsome as Guo Jia. It's just that he has
There was an extremely deep aura surrounding him, making it impossible for Cao Cao to see through him.
"Why did Doctor Jia come here?" After the two looked at each other for a moment, Cao Cao took the lead and taunted the other person, "Could it be that Li Jue saw that he was desperate, so he specially sent you here to ask for surrender."
When the civil and military officials on the left and right heard what Cao Cao said, they burst into laughter again.
However, Jia Xu seemed to be oblivious to these ridicules, and just slowly uttered one word, leaving most people present dumbfounded.
"Yes."
"What, what did you say?" Cao Cao was obviously startled when he heard the word "ran".
"My lord Li Jue has sent me here to ask General Zhendong to surrender."
"Hahahaha——!" After listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao was in a daze for a while, and then let out a series of bursts of laughter, "Then there is really nothing wrong with Li Jue's head. Why does he think I can tolerate it?"
Take his life?"
"My lord also said that after his surrender, General Zhendong can remove him from the position of Grand Sima, but he must be granted the title of former general and retain the title of Marquis of Chiyang." Ignoring Cao Cao's words, Jia Xu continued to speak.
He said to himself.
"...Jia Wenhe, what do you mean?" Upon hearing Li Jue's outrageous request, Cao Cao no longer felt as ridiculous as before, but felt completely unbelievable. Could it be that Li Jue's brain is really sick?
, or is it that the pressure before the decisive battle was too much, and it made him crazy? The sarcastic words were about to blurt out, but they stopped the moment he opened his mouth. Of course, Cao Cao has heard of Jia Xu's reputation, it can be said that he is a
A rare wise man, I am afraid that only a few of his advisers can compare. Such a person would never think that he would agree to Li Jue's boring request, or that he would have the confidence to convince himself to accept that kind of request.
Ridiculous conditions. In this case, Jia Xu completely repeated Li Jue's ridiculous request in front of him. His intentions did not seem to be as simple as what he saw.
"General Zhendong, what do you think I mean?" Jia Xu did not answer Cao Cao's question, but asked inexplicably.
"Jia dares to make wild guesses about your thoughts. If you don't succeed, I hope you won't blame me." Before Cao Cao could figure it out, Guo Jia, who was kneeling beside him, spoke first.
Following the voice, Jia Xu looked to where Guo Jia was, and saw a young man in his twenties. The surprise in his eyes flashed away, and he said to Guo Jia calmly: "Please see me for advice."
"If Jia's guess is correct, sir, do you want to abandon the dark side and join the bright side? Abandon Li Jue and join my lord Meng Degong?" Guo Jia saw Jia Xu looking at him, nodded slightly as a sign, and said slowly with a smile.
When Jia Xu heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, but his eyes were not big to begin with, so there was nothing unusual about them to outsiders.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, the most excited person was Cao Cao, who was eager for talents. Guo Jia's judgment has always been trustworthy to Cao Cao. When he said that Jia Xu wanted to submit to him, it was definitely not unreasonable. I think it was true.
That's it. And Jia Xu is well-known and his talent has been proven. If he is willing to be under his own account, then he will undoubtedly get a huge help. How could this not make Cao Cao, who loves talents very much, excited?
Of course, although Cao Cao was in a state of inner turmoil at this time and had long been happy, he would never show this emotion on the surface, and his demeanor still looked the same as before.
"Haha, if I want to surrender to General Zhendong, I can come here alone. Why should I hand over everything my lord Li Jue has entrusted to General Zhendong? I came here to ask for surrender on my lord's order. If Zhendong
If the general agrees, then I will naturally return to General Zhendong's tent, so why bother?" Although his intention was seen through, Jia Xu was not in a hurry to admit it. He wanted to hear the other party's deeper analysis and see it.
Let’s take a look at how high the level of counselors under Cao Cao is.
Why bother? Isn't it obvious? Cao Cao will definitely not agree to such ridiculous conditions, so you can only come and submit by yourself. Although everyone here knows this truth, since you
Jia Xu insisted on pretending to be confused, but no one took the initiative to spoil the atmosphere and expose it.
"Jia Bucai is just making random guesses. Of course, sir's intention may not end there." Seeing that Jia Xu did not admit what he said, Guo Jia laughed it off and continued to say calmly, "
Rong Jia made a wild guess. When Doctor Jia made the plan to surrender, he had already made a plan for our Lord to defeat Li Jue. The key to this strategy lies in what Doctor Jia mentioned before about Li Jue's surrender."
If Jia Xu was only slightly surprised before, then he was really shocked at this time. Although Jia Xu himself did not hide his thoughts too much, the young man in front of him could only use a few words of his own.
, and based on his judgment of the current situation, he deduce his general thoughts. There are so many capable people in Cao Mengde's account! It seems that his decision to join Cao Cao couldn't be more wise.
"Under the command of General Zhendong, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and I admire them. The ancients said that young people are formidable, and I will not bully you if they are honest." At this point, Jia Xu no longer pretended to be mysterious, and saluted Guo Jia generously, which was regarded as acknowledging the other party's guess.
of correctness.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, stroking his hands and laughing. With Jia Xuxiang's help, he was as powerful as a tiger.
After Guo Jia's guidance, Cao Cao also roughly understood Jia Xu's true thoughts.
"Do you want me to pretend to agree to Li Jue's request to surrender first, and then capture and kill him when he surrenders?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xu.
When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's question, he smiled and said nothing.
Cao Cao frowned slightly. From a profit perspective, this was indeed the best thing to do. Although his own army was superior to his opponent in terms of combat strength and morale, with Guo Si's experience, Li Jue would definitely be prepared when marching and setting up the formation.
Be more cautious. After the two armies go to war, you will inevitably suffer some losses. But if you allow him to surrender first and then kill his people, you can capture them without spending a single soldier. However, although this can ensure the maximum benefit now
Transformation, but in the long run, it has lost its morality. In the future, no enemy who will fight with it will dare to surrender in front of the battle.
When Jia Xu saw Cao Cao frowning, he certainly knew what he was worried about. He smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the lord does not have to agree to Li Jue's request to surrender. As long as Li Jue has the idea that the lord has agreed to his request, it will be a big deal.
.”
Unknowingly, Jia Xu had changed his title to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's eyes gradually narrowed into a straight line. It seemed that he had underestimated the middle-aged man in front of him.
