0243 Chapter Jia Xu votes for Cao

Jizhou City, the capital of Emperor Bo's Yuan Shao. After Liu Bei kidnapped the emperor of the Han Empire, Cao Cao's base camp had been moved here from Xuchang, which is very close to Yuzhou. This shows that Cao Cao is still very afraid of Qin Yang.

This powerful opponent.

Above the Golden Hall of Emperor Bo's palace, Yuan Shao sat on the throne without saying a word, his eyes dull and dull, looking blankly at the civil and military officials who filled the Golden Hall.

Beside the throne, there is another extremely majestic seat. This seat was prepared for Cao Cao, the current prime minister of the Han Empire and the supervisor of the country in place of Emperor Zhong.

"Long live your Majesty Emperor Zhong, long live long live!" After Cao Cao walked into the golden palace and sat down with his head held high, all the civil and military officials paid homage in unison. Although they were facing the direction of the throne, they could see it from their eyes.

Who is really worshiping?

"You all are safe." Sure enough, after paying homage, Cao Cao said with a calm smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After all the officials stood up, they all looked at Cao Cao respectfully.

Cao Cao laughed and said loudly: "Everyone, Cao is very happy today! Why? Because the three princes of Emperor Zhong have all handed over the military power of the three northern states. They respect Emperor Zhong's

The edict ordered that all the 500,000 troops in the entire Northland be handed back to His Majesty Zhong. From now on, we can condense the power of the entire North into a fist. This Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and

There is Yanzhou. The soldiers and horses of these five states are the five fingers of this fist, a total of 1.2 million elite troops. It is enough to frighten the world!"

"Your Majesty, the Supervisor, is powerful in all directions. Your Excellency, the Supervisor, is a thousand years old!" All civil and military officials, some excited and some frightened, all praised in unison.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he laughed. His laughter was full of endless satisfaction and wildness. Now, Cao Cao alone controlled nearly half of the entire Han Empire. He seemed to have seen what was happening with the sword in his hand.

Wherever you point, there are golden swords and iron horses, and banners are flying. All the princes in the world surrender, and the whole world is wiped out!

After laughing, Cao Cao continued: "In addition, there is another thing that makes me even more happy! Come, please invite Mr. Jia Xu to the palace!"

"Jia Xu?!" The hearts of all the civil and military officials were moved, and they all looked towards the main entrance of the Golden Palace.

"The Lord Supervisor of the State has an edict to send Mr. Jia Xu to the palace..."

Amidst the loud summons, Jia Xu was dressed in black robes, holding Xiao Du with twinkling eyes in his arms. Under the gaze of hundreds of officials, he walked into the majestic golden palace with his head held high.

"Your Majesty, Jia Xu, meets the Lord Supervisor of the State."

"Humph! It turns out it's you! Last time in Wancheng, my lord was almost killed by you. Now that you dare to come to Jizhou, I, Dianwei, will kill you first!" With a roar, one of the generals with bronze skin

The mighty generals suddenly came out and glared at Jia Xu.

"Dian Wei, don't make mistakes!" Cao Cao snorted coldly and shouted back Dian Wei.

Then Cao Cao looked at the calm Jia Xu with a smile and said: "Mr. Jia, I'm really sorry, but having said that, Mr. Cao was really embarrassed by Mr. Jia's vicious plan back in Wancheng. Cao still has lingering fears.

Woolen cloth……"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "My lord, I have spoken harshly, but Jia Xu is just doing a little trick. At the beginning, everyone was their own master. Please forgive me, lord."

"Jia Xu, back in Wancheng, you not only put my lord in danger, but also killed Young Master Cao Ang. Do you know your guilt?" A civil official said loudly among the ranks of civil servants.

Jia Xu chuckled and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu Ye, long time no see. As I said just now, it's just about everyone's own master. The gentleman only saw the loss of the supervisor, but he didn't know Jia Xu's contribution.

Bar?"

Liu Ye snorted softly and said: "Credit? Do you, a man who is full of evil schemes, have any merit?"

Jia Xu sneered, turned to Cao Cao, and said calmly: "Master Supervisor, why are all the counselors under your command so short-sighted?"

"You..." Seeing that Jia Xu was looking down on him, Liu Ye couldn't help but turn red and began to retort.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Liu Ye, Mr. Jia Xu is right. He has done a great service to me!"

Under the surprised gazes of Liu Ye and others, Cao Cao stood up and walked down the platform to Jia Xu, patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said: "Now I will tell you about Mr. Jia's contribution. Do you know that in

How did I escape from the iron barrel-like encirclement of Qin Yang and Zhang Xiu in Wancheng? I didn't want to say it before, but now that Mr. Jia is here, it doesn't matter if I say it. That day, at the time,

Mr. Jia personally sent me out of Wancheng!"

"What?! The person who saved Cao Cao from Wancheng was actually Jia Xu who designed to harm Cao Cao?!" If these words hadn't come from Cao Cao's mouth, I'm afraid no one would believe it. But now that the facts are in front of us, we can't help it.

All the officials didn't believe it.

Cao Cao laughed, looked at Yuan Shao on the throne with deep meaning and said with a smile: "Also, if Mr. Jia Xu hadn't lobbied the princes to make Emperor Bo and Emperor Zhong emperor, how could I, Cao Cao, have conquered the north in one fell swoop?

How can the four states become the leaders of the princes in the world?! So I say that Mr. Jia has contributed a lot to Cao Cao’s achievements today! From now on, Mr. Jia will be Cao Cao’s military advisor. You must never disrespect him again!

If you disrespect me, you are disrespecting me, Cao Cao."

"But my lord, he is Qin Yang..." Liu Ye was still waiting to say something.

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he glared and said: "Qin Yang? Qin Yang is just a common man. He can't see Mr. Jia's talent in the world, but I, Cao Cao, can. What's more, Mr. Jia was under Qin Yang's command.

He already saved my life, Cao Cao, now that Mr. Jia has left the Yellow Turban Army, will he harm me again?!"

"This..." All the civil and military officials were silent. What Cao Cao said was reasonable, and the cause and effect of Qin Yang's expulsion of Jia Xu had already spread throughout the world, so how could anyone dare to doubt it again.

"My lord, Jia Xu, comes to see my lord and thank you for taking me in." Seeing that everyone was speechless, Jia Xu immediately bowed deeply to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay! I have Mr. Jia's help. It's better than having a million troops! Today Cao is happy, so you all will stay here and let's have a good drink!"

It was night, after the hustle and bustle of singing and dancing, the civil and military officials had dispersed, leaving only a drunken Cao Cao and an equally drunk Jia Xu on the Golden Palace.

"Mr. Jia, Cao Cao is undecided about something, and he would like to ask for advice." Cao Cao said calmly while filling up a glass of wine.

"Now Jia Xu is my lord's minister. If my lord has anything to say, please just say it."

Cao Cao said with twinkling eyes: "Mr. Jia, how do you think I compare with Qin Yang?"

Jia Xu chuckled and said calmly: "Since my lord asked, Jia Xu said it bluntly. My lord controls five states in the world and has more than a million soldiers and horses. He can be regarded as the first prince in the world. But if

Compared with Qin Yang's Yellow Turban Army, it's still unclear who will win."

"Oh? What do you mean, sir?"

"My lord, please think about it. My lord has just decided to set up the four northern states, but the people's hearts are not yet stable. Although the soldiers and horses have sworn allegiance to the lord, they have neglected their training and their morale is not high. And although Qinyang only has Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Yuzhou, he still has three places in his hands.

Those hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are all warriors who have fought a hundred battles, and they also have the solid faith of the Yellow Turban Sect. With such fluctuations, I am afraid that if there is a fight, the victory or defeat will only be a 50-50 number."

Cao Cao nodded and continued: "In Mr. Jia's opinion, what should I do?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "In my humble opinion, my lord should temporarily form an alliance with Qin Yang. He can pacify the weaker princes outside, and train his troops and cultivate his political power at home to consolidate his foundation. After all, the land and population owned by my lord are far greater than those of Qin Yang.

As long as the time is right, we can naturally win it in one fell swoop.”

Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this. In fact, he already had a plan in his mind. His counselors had already given him advice, and what they said was the same as Jia Xu. If Cao Cao was so confident at this time that he wanted to

If he marches against Qin Yang, I am afraid that he will really piss off Qin Yang, the lion wearing a yellow scarf. Then the other princes in the world will definitely benefit. The reason for asking this question today is that Cao Cao is also testing Jia.

Just bragging.

Jia Xu's answer obviously satisfied Cao Cao. After Cao Cao drank a glass of wine, he asked again: "Mr. Jia, I have one more thing. I want to ask you for advice."

Seeing Cao Cao's serious expression, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "My lord, please speak."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why I was able to conquer the four northern states this time was only relying on two people. The first one is Sima Yi from the Sima family, and the second one is Yuan Shao's chief counselor, Xu You. This

One of them controls the economic power of Jizhou, but the other has many of Yuan Shao's old subordinates who are very loyal to him. I would like to ask, sir, how should I treat these two people?"

Jia Xu couldn't help but look solemn when he saw Cao Cao asking such a question. He pondered for a while and then said slowly: "If you follow my opinion, Sima Yi can be promoted and put in charge of some military affairs. As for Xu You, let's find a reason to kill him.

"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, what do you mean, sir, to negate the ability of the Sima family to control the economic lifeline, and to kill Xu You to frighten him?"

Jia Xu hurriedly stood up and bowed and said: "This is just my humble opinion. Maybe Jia Xu drank too much today. Please don't punish me for talking nonsense."

"No! Not only will I not blame you, but I will reward you heavily!" Cao Cao suddenly smiled and patted Jia Xu and said, "These two people are intertwined in the four northern states, and their influence and reputation are far away here.

Far more than me. I don’t want to follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shao and become the next master betrayed by them. The idea of ​​​​praising and slaying that Mr. Jia came up with for me coincides with what Cao has in mind! Mr. Jia really

It can be said that I am a talented person given to me by God!"

At the foot of Shouchun City, Qin Yang had signed an alliance with Yuan Shu, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were preparing to break up camp and return to Hanzhong.

In the large golden-domed tent, Qin Yang was sitting there alone, tapping his fingers on the table and not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, the tent door opened, and two figures appeared in the tent.

"Is Your Highness planning how to pay this month's salary?"

Qin Yang looked up and suddenly laughed and cursed: "You know how to care about money. I'm really afraid that you will buy me out one day..."

At the same time, Qin Yang's eyes fell on another person next to Guo Jia. He quickly stood up, came to this person, bowed respectfully, and said: "Disciple Qin Yang, meet the master..."
