Chapter 415 Unpredictable
Xuzhou, front line, outside Xiapi city, Caoying,
"So that's it. This can give Fengxiao you a day." Cao Cao nodded, "But, do you think this kind of thing is useful to Tao Qian?" Cao Cao couldn't help but say. In his opinion, it seemed to make little sense, and it might be possible to trap themselves.
"Anyway, I'm idle, so why not do something. At least I won't waste the situation we finally settled down." Guo Jia couldn't help but say. As for whether it was useful to Tao Qian, Guo Jia was not very clear about this kind of thing and didn't care at all, because Guo Jia's actions did not aim at Tao Qian. In Guo Jia's eyes, Tao Qian was already considered a dying person. So what Guo Jia targeted at this time was Liu Bei from beginning to end!
If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Bei has a great possibility of falling into the trap! To use Guo Jia's original metaphor, this is a "second-rate" plan that surpasses the "third-rate" one. This is a conspiracy that can force Liu Bei to survive! Unless Liu Bei wants to change his original style, in that case, Liu Bei will probably not have another chance of success.
"That's it, okay, I believe in your judgment." Cao Cao agreed completely.
In Xiapi City,
"Mr. Tao hurriedly summoned the lower class. Could it be that something happened?!" Liu Bei asked straight to the point.
"Xuande, come and take a look at this." Tao Qian handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Bei, "This is something Cao Cao just sent."
Liu Bei's eyelids twitched. Could it be that Cao Cao suggested that Tao Qian give Xuzhou to him Liu Bei? What did Cao Cao want! Liu Bei's mind flashed countless thoughts, and he calmly took the bamboo slip from Tao Qian's hand politely and opened it to take a look.
"this......"
It turned out that it was not Cao Cao who suggested that Tao Qian give Xuzhou to him Liu Bei, but Cao Cao. Oh no, to be precise, Guo Jia invited everyone to go to the west gate to discuss important matters. Among them, not only did Tao Qian's name be written, but also clearly invited important people from Xuzhou such as Mi Zhu and Chen Deng. In addition, his name is also very vivid.
"I guess Xuande has also heard of what Guo Jia did in Guangwei not long ago?" Tao Qian asked.
Liu Bei nodded and replied.
"I heard of it. Guo Jia used sophistry to turn black and white, confuse the public, and not be loyal. He ignored justice and deceived the people, which is shameless!"
Now that Liu Bei is on Tao Qian's side, he naturally tries to say bad things about the enemy. Although from the perspective of war alone, Liu Bei thinks in his heart that Guo Jia's actions are very beautiful. The effect is not average!
"Then Xuande, do you think Guo Jia wants to play the same method again this time?" Tao Qian asked again.
"It's very possible!" Liu Bei said.
"Since that's the case, then Xuande, how do you think we should deal with it now?" Tao Qian couldn't help asking.
Liu Bei frowned and stood up and replied,
"Although I might have already thought that Guo Jia's words were already in the dark, I thought it was necessary to go. If I didn't go at this time, I would definitely get a handle on it. And we might be able to use our own tricks, and maybe we can defeat and even kill Guo Jia while it is unprepared!"
"Xuande's words are reasonable, what do you think?" Tao Qian turned to ask the others.
"I also think we can go and see what Guo Jia wants to say, and if we can reject all his words on the spot, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the morale of the Cao army!" Chen Deng said. It seems that he is quite confident in himself. Sure enough, young people are often very angry.
"I also think it is necessary to go and see. Cao Cao has been surrounding us for so long, but he took action at this time. I doubt that they will be a little unsustainable, so they plan to use a magic trick and want to fight and decide quickly. What can only be known after going to see it." Mi Zhu said.
Seeing that several important people agreed to go out to meet and talk to Guo Jia, Tao Qian naturally had no objection. He decided on the spot and sent someone to reply and wait at the west city gate at noon tomorrow! Although both sides are now hostile identities, the most basic politeness must be missing. This is a country of etiquette!
"Then I will rely on Xuande tomorrow." Tao Qian said to Liu Bei.
"Mr. Tao is so polite. Liu Bei must do his best." Liu Bei said with his fists.
After Liu Bei left, Tao Qian turned his eyes to Mi Zhu next to him.
"Liu Bei suggested that we go over and also suggested that we can take the initiative."
"I think Liu Bei's words are reasonable and do not mean anything." Mi Zhu replied.
"We had already discussed it before Liu Bei came. If Liu Bei was Cao Cao's person, even though he was inside and outside, the city gates were closed, and they would not be able to convey information to each other. This time, perhaps it was an opportunity for them to convey information to each other. Speaking some code words in person that we don't understand, would be able to decide the plan to seize the city. Liu Bei proposed to take the initiative, and it was entirely possible that Cao's army outside would be put in. Although all this is just speculation, we have to be careful," Chen Deng said.
This is how people are. When a single aspect arises, doubts may gradually become "facts".
"Liu Bei is indeed suspicious, and I don't deny this. But now I am more worried that there are far more people in suspicion." Mi Zhu suddenly said, "I have been paying attention to a question just now. Why did Guo Jia deliberately name one by one in this letter?"
"I also find it strange when you say it." Chen Deng couldn't help but interrogate, "Guo Jia's behavior is really suspicious. He didn't do it when he was Guangwei. Did he express respect for each of us? He wrote the name without missing a single one? At first I thought that this was Guo Jia's plan to alienate people. If he deliberately wrote some people's names instead of other people's names, some people would definitely be a little unwilling and even doubt each other. But I calculated carefully and found that no important people were missing, so I pressed my doubts in my heart and didn't say it out." Chen Deng explained.
"That's how I feel there is something wrong!" Mi Zhu took over and said, "Guo Jia wrote everyone's names one by one without missing a word, as if he was afraid. If he only wrote a sentence of "important person", we might miss one or some people in the end!"
Mi Zhu's words surprised Tao Qian and Chen Deng.
"Absolutely there is a traitor?"
Yes, since they doubted that Liu Bei could communicate information with the outside world in this way, why can't others do the same thing through the same means?
After being surrounded by Cao Cao for so many days, it is impossible to say that no one in Xia Pi is shaken. Maybe someone has quietly surrendered to Cao Cao for his future and is preparing to rebel as an internal force!
However, Mi Zhu suddenly smiled bitterly.
"But I'm a little worried. This is Guo Jia's real purpose. It makes us suspicious of everyone and we can no longer work together."
