The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 322 Undercurrent
Cao Pi, Xun Yu and the others were very puzzled. They didn't understand what Yuan Shang's intention was at this moment, instead of taking the opportunity to attack the Central Plains with a large-scale weaponry, instead he retreated all the troops and waited for the opportunity.
But in any case, for the current Cao army, this is a good sign. At least it will give them a chance to regroup and recharge after losing Cao Cao and a lot of soldiers and generals. It's really rare.

At that time, Xun Yu immediately advised Cao Pi, summoned Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren back to the capital, consolidated the defense of the capital, and re-planned the layout of various strategic locations after the vital energy was seriously injured, in order to achieve the ultimate goal before recovering the vitality. The strongest and most solid defense.

After giving all the instructions to everyone, the civil servants and generals at all levels in Xudu immediately split up and acted separately. Among them, Jia Xu was the only one who was in a high position but did not have any major affairs. He has never been in charge of too much power and important affairs, and the world thinks that Guo Jia is a prodigal son, but in fact, Jia Xu's actions are the real deeds of a prodigal son.

Normally, Jia Xu knows how to be restrained, and he goes home immediately after the court meeting is over, but today he is a bit abnormal, instead of withdrawing home immediately after the court meeting, he just strolled around in his own carriage on the street After wandering around for a long time, he actually ordered the driver to turn the carriage around and headed slowly towards Nancheng Street in Xuchang.

Jia Xu's family lives in Beicheng, which is completely opposite to Nancheng. What is he going to do when he changes direction?

The answer was soon to be revealed.Among the residents in Nancheng, Jia Xu only knew one person, and that person was Guo Jia.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" The heavy sound resounded fiercely throughout the rear courtyard, making people feel uncomfortable listening to it, Jia Xu frowned slightly, and pushed away with a cane Guo Jia's door.

Guo Jia was sitting on the bed, coughing hard with a pale face, his usually pretty face looked thin and bony at this moment, which made people feel helpless and filled with emotion.

"You're not dead yet?" Jia Xu stared at Guo Jia indifferently, and said lightly.

After Guo Jia finished coughing, his chest kept rising and falling, fluctuating up and down, making it hard to look directly at.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Jia gave Jia Xu a hard look, and gasped, "You old bastard is still alive? How could Guo die before you?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, found a place to sit down as before, and said indifferently: "The old man's words are not malicious, but seeing that you are really aggrieved living now, it would be better to die happily."

Guo Jia hummed softly, and said: "Duke Ming passed away, and the Central Plains was turbulent. If Guo died at this time, wouldn't it be inappropriate? In such an extraordinary period, even if Guo was entrusted, he would have to wait." live!"

Jia Xu stared at Guo Jia quietly, then suddenly opened her mouth and said: "You and Cao Sikong are close friends, both master and friend, don't you feel sad about the death of the master?"

Guo Jia's eyes suddenly flashed unprecedented grief and Mo Luo, but it was quickly covered up by his usual shrewdness.

"The dead are dead, so what can we do if we cry? What can we do if we are sad? Is it possible to bring Lord Sikong back to life? As a courtier of the Cao family, Guo should use the remaining time of his life, Doing my last part in the inheritance left by the lord, this is the only thing I can do now, at present, so that in the future, I will have the face to meet the lord"

Jia Xu's eyes showed a little bit of appreciation, nodded and said: "Not bad, very good, I didn't expect you to be so young, but you can see so clearly, and your mind is so strong, it is really comparable to others. If your admiration was only five points, now it has become seven points."

Guo Jia glared at him coldly, and said, "Thanks to your old admiration, Guo doesn't dare to do it."

Jia Xu stroked his beard lightly, and said: "The problem is, while you are making bold words, Yuan Shang has already made a move. If you don't make any moves, I am afraid that your bold words will change in the blink of an eye. into empty talk."

Guo Jia was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Yuan Shang has already made a move? Didn't he already order the soldiers of the three routes to retreat? How could there be any tricks?"

Jia Xu smiled lightly, and said, "You lying here, how do you know that Yuan Shang's three troops are all retreating?"

"I have my own way." Guo Jia replied casually: "What do you want to say?"

Jia Xu let out a long sigh, and said: "Yuan Shang is very powerful in Guanzhong, and it is reasonable to say that anyone would immediately send troops to the east and attack the Central Plains with the momentum of Mount Tai, but he made all the soldiers and horses retreat. You Do you think this is the character of that kid?"

Guo Jia rubbed his chin and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I always felt that there was something wrong during the period. That kid is a master who can kill himself if he has advantages or not. It’s strange, there must be a fraud, but no matter how I think about it, I haven’t thought of the key point.”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "In the beginning, the old man didn't understand the key point of the mystery, but after seeing something today, Ting Yi suddenly reacted, so I came to discuss with you."

Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Tingyi? Something? What did you see?"

Jia Xu glared at Guo Jia meaningfully, then slowly opened her mouth, and told Guo Jia everything that happened at the court meeting today like beans in a bamboo tube.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Jia frowned more and more tightly, but he didn't interrupt until after Jia Xu finished speaking, Guo Jia thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "What do you mean? , Yuan Shang’s intention is to withdraw the army slowly, and then intends to let the young masters carry out civil strife without external worries?”

Jia Xu nodded, and said, "Besides this idea, I really can think of other explanations that can explain Yuan Shang's actions."

Guo Jia stood up with difficulty, frowning and frowning, and said: "But how is this possible, Yuan Shang doesn't understand the characters of the young masters, how does he know that the young masters will definitely have civil strife, instead of working together, Avenge your father together?"

Jia Xu smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "You ask me, I don't know who to ask? The characters of the young masters have always been meek and respectful, and even the old man has not noticed it too much, but until today I met the two After the performance of the young master Cao Pi, the old man felt that the original vision of the old man seemed to be wrong. Hehe, I am old."

Guo Jia frowned, and said, "Second Young Master's character, even our close officials who have been staying in Xudu have not seen through it, yet Yuan Shang can understand it? If it is really such a prophet, this kid is a bit too scary, right? ?”

Jia Xu sighed for a long time, shook his head and said, "Who knows. My lord didn't register several sons during his lifetime. As a filial piety, which son do you think can take on the big position?"
