Furthermore, Zhang Xiu originally relied on Liu Biao, but now he surrendered to Cao Cao without fighting. What would Liu Biao think? Moreover, Nanyang not only threatened Xu, but also to Xiangyang. When Yuan Shu was here, Liu Biao came to fight specifically to avoid the threat. So now, Liu Biao is likely to be angry and choose to send troops to Nanyang for the sake of the stability of his base camp.

Therefore, Cao Cao stayed here for the time being just in case.

Besides, Yuan Shu has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, Lu Bu has not yet separated from Yuan Shu, Sun Ce has not yet gained a foothold in Jiangdong, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei have not yet turned against each other. In other words, even if Cao Cao returns to Xudu at this time, there will be no major things to do in a short period of time. Instead of going back to stare at Emperor Xian and having conflicts, Cao Cao might as well stay in Nanyang for the time being, with fewer worries and easier, right?

It is precisely the above reasons that Cao Cao did not plan to leave in Nanyang for a while, and he felt quite happy. Those who don’t know thought that Cao Cao won too smoothly, so he got carried away.

Only Guo Jia did not relax his vigilance for a moment. If Zhang Xiu really wanted to rebel, how should he deal with it? Or, what should he do now so that Zhang Xiu will not rebel? Just like Chen Gong's incident, Guo Jia was really a little difficult to deal with in advance. He could only keep a close eye on the situation of Zhang Xiu's army, and then he always kept Xu Chu with him carefully, and stayed in the military camp without running around without any matter.

On this day, Guo Jia finally contacted Jia Xu privately.

"Brother Jia, haha. It's been a long time since I saw you." Guo Jia came to Jia Xu and said kindly.

"So it's Lord Guo." Jia Xu bowed slightly, "Haven't we just met before?" Jia Xu asked.

"I couldn't say a few words. What's the meeting? You and I have been friends for many years. How can you do if you don't have a glass of wine in private?" Guo Jia said enthusiastically.

"I am not good at drinking. If you have anything to say, please say it straightforwardly." Jia Xu said directly, nonsense, he and Guo Jia do not have such a deep friendship. Jia Xu doesn't think Guo Jia is really just coming to him to drink.

"Actually, there are some things. Isn't it very easy to talk at the wine table? Forget it, since you don't like it, I won't force it, just say it bluntly. A person like you, under Zhang Xiu, is simply buried. Why don't you come and go with me?" Guo Jia immediately spoke up and invited him.

Jia Xu's eyebrows moved slightly.

"I have rejected this question before I asked Mr. Cao. I wonder why Lord Guo raised it again?" Jia Xu said.

"No, no, no." Guo Jia shook his head, "It's different. I used to be my lord, but now I am, how can this be compared?" Guo Jia emphasized.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but be shocked. Guo Jia dared to say such words blatantly. Is he going to replace Cao Cao? Even if Guo Jia wanted to replace Cao Cao in his heart, he could only talk to a small-scale confidant, and it was impossible to tell someone who had not yet won over. Could it be that Guo Jia would silence him if he failed to win over? After all, Jia Xu knew too much. Yes.

"Brother Jia, don't think too much, I have no other meaning. I just think that for Brother Jia, this is a better choice, and it also conforms to Brother Jia's way of dealing with things." Guo Jia explained.

"How to say it?" Jia Xu asked.

"Now under my lord, some factions have gradually become clear and their power is deeply rooted. If Brother Jia directly intervenes at this time, he will probably be excluded when he is a newcomer. Therefore, finding a party to rely on is the best choice. I believe that this is also in line with Brother Jia's style." Guo Jia analyzed.

"Master Guo knows Jia very well." Jia Xu couldn't help but answer, admitting Guo Jia's statement.

"Besides, Brother Jia has successively assisted Dong Zhuo and Li Ju Guo Si, and has offended the people of the world, so he is afraid to face the current court. Perhaps Brother Jia is as low-key as he is now, that's nothing, but once Jia Xu directly surrenders to my lord's lord's status, he will inevitably be at the brink of wind. I believe Brother Jia also rejected my lord's lord because of this. But unlike me, Brother Jia's status will not improve compared to now, and he will not run to the brink of wind. And under my protection, Brother Jia must be much more at brink of peace." Guo Jia said.

"I am not very grateful to be favored by Lord Guo. But I still say the same thing: I used to be Li Jue to offend the world; now I follow Zhang Xiu, and follow his advice and cannot bear to abandon him." As a result, Jia Xu finally rejected Guo Jia.

The more smart a person is like Jia Xu, the less likely he is to be convinced by others. If he cannot even make a firm judgment, how can he make suggestions?

"Does Zhang Xiu want to rebel?!" Guo Jia suddenly shouted.

Jia Xu was shocked,

"Why did Lord Guo say this?"

"You said that Zhang Xiu obeys your will, so I can't bear to abandon it. But now Zhang Xiu has surrendered to my lord, and surrenders rather than relying on it. In other words, Zhang Xiu, who obeys your will, has to pass through my lord. In this way, is Zhang Xiu obeying your will? Only Zhang Xiu can make the decision himself, Brother Jia's reason is true!" Guo Jia said with narrowed eyes.

"So as Lord Guo said, Lord Guo, are you Cao or Emperor Han now? Is Cao Gong also going to rebel?!" Jia Xu asked immediately.

"Ha! So that's it." Guo Jia smiled, and the nervous atmosphere disappeared in an instant. "In other words, Brother Jia actually looks down on me, Mr. Guo." Guo Jia said.

"Mr. Guo is joking. Master Guo is extremely talented, so who would look down on you? The reason why I refuse is really hard to abandon my old master. I hope Master Guo will understand it." Jia Xu bowed and said.

"That's it, okay, then I won't force it. However, I still hope you can think about it carefully. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time." Guo Jia said.

"Thank you, sir! If there is nothing else, then I will say goodbye first." Jia Xu said goodbye.

After Jia Xu left, Sima Yi, who had been by the side without saying a word, finally asked,

"Sir, this Jia Xu is really worthy of winning over this?"

"You don't have two brushes in your hand, can you refuse me like this? Do you think he is raising his own value?" Guo Jia replied, "Although there are inevitably some people who seek fame, or some people who pretend to be noble even if they don't have much talent. To put it bluntly, just like your master, who can know if he comes out of the mountain, will he do better than others or worse than others? But Jia Xu is different. This is a person who finally adapted to it in this troubled world in several different camps!"

If you can't change the world, then try to adapt to it. Jia Xu, maybe he is not as great as that who can change the world, but he is the one who can adapt to the world the most! In any environment, Jia Xu can live well. (To be continued.
