Xia Pi City, the prefect's mansion.

Sima Yi, Pu Yuan, Chen Deng and others sat in the hall. The sunlight outside the window had gradually shone in. The soldiers came to report that Xia Pi City had stabilized and the whole city was completely controlled. Except for the few people who escaped with Guo Jia, the rest of the Cao army in the entire city were caught in a jar, either dead or injured.

But after hearing this in time, the few people in the hall still had no happy expression on their faces. On the contrary, they were very melancholy.

It's no wonder they were unhappy. Although they defeated the Cao army and occupied Xia Pi City, Guo Jia, the most important figure in the Cao army, ran away. This man was a clever man and was not a genius. Maybe he would jump out and continue to use tricks on his side. With this person, it would be difficult for the Cao army forces in Xuzhou to clean up.

At this moment, outside the hall, Gan Ning led people back.

Seeing this, Chen Deng hurriedly looked up and said to Gan Ningyan: "Where is the person? Have you been caught?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "I have chased me out for several miles from southeast, southwest and northwest. Guo Jia did not meet him, but he met the messenger sent by the lord to Xia Pi City."

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Lord's Messenger? What did you say?"

When Gan Ning heard this, he grinned and said hoarsely: "The messenger sent by the lord said... Guo Jia is dead!"

"What?" Sima Yi and Chen Deng were shocked when they heard this. They all stood up from their knees and collapsed on the spot, and said loudly: "You are the truth?"

"It should be a mistake." Gan Ning touched the curly beard on his chin, shrugged and said, "I know the messenger. It's right that he is the lord's confidant. He said that it was Guo Jia who was killed by the lord himself, and those guards were not left behind. The body had been secretly transported to Linzi, Qingzhou by the lord, and everything went well!"

"Okay!" Sima Yi couldn't help but slap his palm hard and nodded, "Okay! That's great! As soon as Guo Jia dies, we will be in Xuzhou without any worries!"

Chen Deng was also happy, but after a while, his face became solemn and he didn't speak for a long time.

When he heard the news of Guo Jia's death, although he was happy at first, he felt a little uncomfortable now for some reason.

Although Chen Deng is selfish, he is also one of the few geniuses in the world. In his opinion, Guo Jia is one of the few people who can be called above him. After his own plot, he died this time, although he fulfilled his promise to Yuan Shang and achieved great success. However, Chen Deng felt a little regretful in his heart. It was a pity that a genius like Guo Jia died like this. Another peerless person was missing from the Middle Land...

For a moment, Chen Deng was slightly confused, and a complex feeling of confusion arose in his heart.

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "What a pity. The lord walked away in a hurry and did not send anyone to send Guo Jia's body back, otherwise I would have brought it back for you to see."

Sima Yi nodded when he heard this.

Chen Deng smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. In my opinion, even if a genius becomes a real ghost, he will not be willing to see us."

After pausing, Chen Deng murmured: "I am loyal to Cao's family. This is the biggest mistake in my life for the genius Guo Jia. If he could see the current situation clearly, he would still be able to shine in the future. Why should he reach this point today..."

Gan Ning heard this and said, "The lord's messenger also said that Guo Jia and his group had been blocked by the lord. If there were no omissions in the city, they could continue to act according to the second step strategy!"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've sent someone to do this."

"Oh?" Chen Deng was curious when he heard this, and said, "There is a second step of action plan? What action plan?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Did you look at the city we seized in what capacity?"

Chen Deng's eyes rolled and said, "Dongwu navy... Could it be that you still want to?"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "That's right, we will naturally continue to use this identity of the Eastern Wu naval army!"

************************************

Not long after, Chen Deng personally wrote a book, covered with Guo Jia's seal in the prefect's palace, and sent someone to Guangling and Zhang Liao's camp.

The meaning in his heart is roughly as follows. When Chen Deng went to the Eastern Wu to join forces with the two families, he had already abandoned the secret and turned to the light and surrendered to the Marquis of Wu. Now Xia Pi City has been quickly obtained by the Eastern Wu navy. Guo Jia was awarded the head. Xuzhou was decided. Wu Hou was a wise ruler who cherished Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and others and could not bear to kill them. Zhang Liao and others should surrender quickly. The two families combined into one, expelled Yuan Shang, and transferred troops to Huainan to seize the country and separating the southeastern half of the country. In the future, they would not lose their reputation.

After reading Chen Deng's calligraphy, Zhang Liao shook his body, loosened his fingers, and dropped the calligraphy on the ground with a "splash".

"Guo Jijiu... is dead?"

The tent was quiet. When I was young, I heard a burst of "wow" crying sounds coming from it. Although Guo Jia is a pervert, he is loyal to others on weekdays. He is also an old man of the Cao family, and is admired and loved by all the generals. At this moment, when he heard that Guo Jia died, all the generals in the tent were sad for him.

Zhang Liao sat quietly in the position of coach, took a deep breath, half closed his eyes, and tears in the tiger's eyes slowly dripped down the corners of his eyes.

Thinking about the five most powerful assistants under his command when Cao Cao was in his prime, Xun Chengyu, the second one, the genius and poisonous soldiers, who have passed away to this day! Cheng Yu died with the genius and Xun You were imprisoned in Yecheng in his early years. Now, even Guo Jia, the uninhabited genius who was praised by the genius as the wise man in the world, has died. How many top talents in the Cao family are left?

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand, and said, "Go, send someone to Xiapi City to explore the movement, see the situation, and then make a decision..."

Next to the camp, Le Jin, who was crying bitterly, stopped crying, raised his head suddenly, sobbed and said, "Zhang Liao, what do you mean!"

Zhang Liao sighed and said, "Let's explore the situation first. If the current situation is true, it will be meaningless for us to continue in Xuzhou. We should take the early return to Yanzhou to meet with the Prime Minister before making a decision."

When Li Dian heard this, his face looked as deep as the sea, and looked up at Zhang Liao, saying, "As soon as the priest dies, we will go back like this, isn't it a bit...?"

Le Jin ignored it and said loudly: "Guo Jijiu died, how can we live a life of silence!"

In the camp, the generals below wiped their tears and responded loudly.

"Not bad! We won't leave~"

"Kill all Wu Gou and avenge Guo Jijiu!"

"If you sacrifice wine to show your integrity, even if he is a literati, let alone us!"

“…………”

Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao's face turned pale.

A huge problem that is inevitable at the moment falls into our own camp.

Once Guo Jia dies, there is no leader in the group!

Although I can temporarily take over the generals with lower status than me, I cannot control Li Dian, who has the same status as me, and Le Jin!

If there is a prime minister's imperial decree or Guo Jia's legacy, one person will be selected from the three to command the other two, or nothing will happen, but now there are none of these two things, who should control the three?

At this moment, the crowd in the tent was excited, and some generals led by Le Jin were going to lead their troops and return to the army to kill the Eastern Wu!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly stood up and said, "Wen Qian, don't act rashly!"

Le Jin suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhang Liao deeply, saying, "Zhang Wenyuan, the sacrificial wine died, and was killed by the collusion between Chen Deng's traitor and the Eastern Wu dogs. Do you not want to avenge him at all? Is your heart made of stone?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "I am naturally very sad when Guo Jijiu dies! But... it's just... it's not that he is arbitrary and breaks with Eastern Wu. After all, we still have a great enemy Yuan Shang, what if..."

"Nothing in case! Today I was willing to do my best and would fight to the death with Dongwu no matter what I said!"

Zhang Liao was anxious when he heard this, turned to Li Dian and said, "Mancheng, why are you standing there? Please persuade Wen Qian!"

When Li Dian heard this, he just touched his beard and sat silently, as if he hadn't heard it, as if he was fine.

Although Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Le Jin were ministers of their colleagues, they never met much. Li Dian's uncle Li Qian died at the hands of Lu Bu's army. Zhang Liao was the number one general under Lu Bu's tent, and Zhang Liao fought with Li Dian and Le Jin many times and won many times. After surrendering, although his status was no match for the two generals, he was vaguely superior to the two in terms of being valued by Cao Cao.

Li Dian and Le Jin have been fighting with Cao Cao for a long time and are considered veterans of the team. On the surface, they don’t say that, how can they feel happy in their hearts...

To this day, the disadvantages have been first revealed.

***************************

Guangling, Yuan Jun camp.

The news that Guo Jia died and Xia Pi City was destroyed was brought back by Yuan Shang to the senior generals. Everyone was full of spirits, motivated and had a high fighting spirit. The generals asked to go out to fight!

Yuan Shang was not in a hurry, but just smiled and said, "It is a matter of time before going to war, but the most urgent task is to bring the news to Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Ju Shu and others in Yanzhou, and then find a way to pass the news to Cao army in Zhongzhou to disrupt Cao Zhi's side, and then wait for Zhang Liao and the others to go to war with the Eastern Wu, take advantage of the situation, and then it is the best opportunity for us to achieve our contributions in one battle."

Zhang Ji thought about it and said, "Zhang Liao is a man of wisdom and courage. He is not an ordinary person. Although we have made arrangements, it is probably difficult to provoke him to attack Dongwu."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Otherwise, once Guo Jia dies, Cao's army will have no leader. Some things are not decided by Zhang Liao alone. We are waiting for the opportunity and just waiting for them to fight and enjoy the success!"

When Zheng Ji heard this, he was surprised and said, "What do you mean is that Cao's army can take the initiative to attack Dongwu?"

"It should be possible. Among the main generals in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Le Jin have different personalities. But I heard that Li Dian and Le Jin and Guo Jia have good personal training, and they are both Cao Cao's old team. Guo Jia did not leave a candidate for Xuzhou before his death. It should not be too peaceful for both public and private, and Cao's army now."
