Chapter 278: My Lord is true

"Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and the heroes are rising. Does Ming Gong want to be a wise minister who supports the Han Dynasty or a wise monarch who starts a new dynasty?" Guo Jia looked solemn and had a bright look. He had already intended to join Cao Cao's tent, so he changed his name to Ming Gong.

After hearing this, Cao Cao looked around. The servants who were serving in the house had been sent out. Cao Cao turned his ears and listened quietly to the door for a while, and judged that Xun Yu, who was standing at the door, had left. Fang Qing let out a sigh of relief, responded to Guo Jia's inquiring gaze with a bold look, and said, "Since Fengxiao asked so directly, I understand and tell you. The Han Dynasty has been exhausted, but as a Han minister, you must always pay attention to the ethics of the monarch and ministers, otherwise it will be infamous for thousands of years. If Pier becomes a talent in the future and has a broad mind, I will not be able to control what he does in a hundred years..."

Guo Jia's thoughts changed rapidly. He remembered that Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Annian was seventeen years old, smart and humble in nature, and his second son Cao Pi was almost ten years old. He had few talent and was well-informed and could write an essay at the age of eight. It can be seen that Cao Cao had high hopes for them, hoping to let his son take the position of emperor. However, due to his ethical principles, it was not convenient for him to be the emperor directly.

Guo Jia thought again that Cao Cao's move was wise. Although the Han Dynasty was weak, the emperor was still there, and the people still regarded themselves as the Han people. Many civil and military officials under his tent came to surrender to him because he could support the Han Dynasty. If Cao Cao took the banner of establishing himself as the king, then Xun Yu, Xun You, Le Jin, Yu Jin and others would leave him, and his appeal would be greatly reduced. Some forces loyal to the Han Dynasty would also unite to attack him, just like the Kanto Alliance Army attacked Dong Zhuo back then, which would cause Cao Cao to encounter many unexpected difficulties and struggle.

However, Guo Jia also heard a little helplessness from Cao Cao's words, which shows that Cao Cao was also quite contradictory. After all, in such a chaos, it is a great opportunity for men to make achievements. Who doesn't want to be a founding king and thus spread in history?

Seeing Guo Jia's eyes turning constantly, Cao Cao continued, "Time is endless. To achieve great things, you need to make extraordinary efforts. Now I am facing some difficulties. Please help me!" Cao Cao's words were full of earnest meaning, and his eyes were staring at Guo Jia, with a flash of light in his eyes, full of expectations.

Cao Cao's words exposed his mind deeply touched Guo Jia. He knew that there were few people in this world who could let Cao Cao say these words hidden deep in his heart, which shows how much Cao Cao attaches importance to him.

Guo Jia no longer hesitated, stood up, bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and said loudly: "Jia greets the lord."

"Oh~~haha" Cao Cao was ecstatic. From the conversation just now, he had already determined that Guo Jia's talent was rare in the world, and he was much stronger than Xi Zhicai. With such talents in his own account, no matter how many difficulties there are in the future, there is no need to be afraid.

"Come up quickly for filial piety~~" Cao Cao hurriedly held Guo Jia's arms with both hands, "If you get help from filial piety, you will be able to achieve great things. If you don't mind filial piety, you will be the chief adviser under my account, what about?"

It turns out that he has different temperaments. Guo Jia sighed in his heart, which further increased his contempt for Yuan Shao. Guo Jia bowed again after hearing this and said gratefully: "Thank you for your love!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "You and I fell into the same state at first sight, why did there be so many red tape? Come on, sit down quickly, I have something to ask for advice."

After the two sat down, Cao Cao asked frankly: "In the current situation, Fengxiao thinks how should I act?"

Guo Jia thought about it, dipped his hands in wine, and wrote two words on the table table.

Cao Cao looked closely and couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Yuan Shu? What does Fengxiao mean to destroy Yuan Shu first?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yuan Shao in the north is too strong, so the lord should not compete with him. Now his main energy is focused on the fight against Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan is not small, and he can succeed within a year and a half. While he has no time to look south, the lord should gather troops to contact Liu Biao and Zhou Yu, and first eliminate Yuan Shu's power."

Cao Cao frowned slightly and asked, "Although Yuan Shao was brothers with Yuan Shu, the two of them had always been in a state of disagreement. Especially Yuan Shu, he was always worried about Yuan Shao's suppression of him, and there was always a battle between them. Why did Fengxiao ask me to take advantage of Yuan Shao's opportunity to attack Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Shu?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "The lord only analyzed one, but did not. The two of them had a brother's relationship, but at this moment their identities are all princes in the same place, one in the south and one in the north, surrounding the lord. In recent years, the lord's power has been increasing, so they must be quite afraid. For the sake of common interests, they can eliminate the barriers and deal with you together."

Cao Cao suddenly realized and smiled and said, "A word woke up from the dream. Actually, I have considered it, but you didn't think so early or so far. It seems that Fengxiao's military strategy is very proficient."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "The lord has been too much. Jia believes that as a strategist, the most important quality is to adapt to the situation, not to whether he is proficient in military tactics. Military tactics are dead, and people are alive. War is like playing chess. No war can be fully deployed in advance and will develop completely according to your combat plan. Only by constantly adjusting tactics at any time according to the situation on the battlefield can we ultimately defeat the enemy."

"Haha, what a war is playing chess! Listening to Fengxiao's words, I'm better than reading for ten years." Cao Cao was happy and laughed loudly.

"Good award~~Good award~~" Guo Jia smiled and bowed, and then said, "If the lord allows me, please assign some personnel and share the information collected from various places with me. I want to give advice to the lord after fully mastering the information."

"Okay! Sun Wu said, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. It seems that filial piety is deeply rooted in three things. Manpower is not a problem. I have secretly established a spy unit called "Ghost". It was originally under the control of Wen Ruo, but the affairs he was in charge of were complicated and basically had little energy to manage "Ghost". It's just right that you come, so I'll hand over this secret unit to you." Cao Cao waved his hand, and he had the momentum of commanding thousands of troops.

Guo Jia didn't expect that Cao Cao would trust him so much. A secret intelligence force like "ghost" involved many of Cao Cao's secret secrets, and they were in charge. They had just met. This is really a good use of people and people are not doubtful. Guo Jia sighed in his heart that more of what came to him was a touch. A scholar died for his confidant. If there was such a wise wise ruler who trusted him so much, he could only devote himself to his death.

Guo Jia fell down again. When Cao Cao helped him up, there was already tears in Guo Jia's eyes. At this moment, Guo Jia completely accepted Cao Cao, and his body was marked with the word "Cao" until he died of illness.

Cao Cao immediately called someone in and sent Guo Jia to a house that had been prepared for him. It was a house carefully selected by Cao Cao for Guo Jia. It was not large in area, but it was planted with green pines and bamboos, and it was quiet. Guo Jia liked it very much after seeing it and named it "Jingyuan".

The next day, Xun Yu visited Cao Cao and asked about Guo Jia's situation. Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "If Wen had indeed known talents with a keen eye, he would have made me great achievements."
