The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 564
Xiapi City, the prefect's mansion.

Sima Yi, Pu Yuan, Chen Deng and others were sitting in the hall. The sunlight outside the window had gradually shone in. The soldiers came to report that Xiapi City had been stabilized and the whole city was under complete control. Except for the few people who escaped, the rest were all caught in the urn, either dead or injured.

But after hearing this in time, the faces of the few people in the hall still didn't look happy, on the contrary, they were very melancholy.

It's no wonder they were unhappy. Although they defeated Cao Jun and occupied Xiapi City, Guo Jia, Cao Jun's most important figure, ran away. Trick, with this person around, it will be very difficult to clean up the forces of Cao Jun in Xuzhou.

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

Seeing this, Chen Deng quickly raised his head, and said to Gan Ning, "Where is he? Have you been caught?"

Gan Ning shook his head, and said: "I chased him for several miles, Guo Jia didn't meet him, but he did meet the messenger sent by the lord to Xiapi City."

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "My lord's messenger? What did you say?"

Gan Ning grinned with a 'hehe' when he heard this, and said in a hoarse voice, "The messenger sent by the lord said...Guo Jia is dead!"

"What?" Sima Yi and Chen Deng were shocked when they heard the words, they all stood up from their knees in unison, and said loudly: "Is this true?"

"It shouldn't be wrong." Gan Ning touched the beard on his chin, shrugged and said, "I know the messenger, he is the lord's confidant. He said that the lord personally killed Guo Jia, and the guards didn't have any Stay. The body has been secretly transported to Linzi, Qingzhou by the lord, and everything is going well!"

"Okay!" Sima Yi couldn't help slapping his palms vigorously when he heard the words, and nodded vigorously, "Okay! That's great! Once Guo Jia dies, I'll have no worries in Xuzhou!"

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

Hearing the news of Guo Jia's death, although he was happy at first, but for some reason now, he feels a little uncomfortable.

Although Chen Deng is selfish, he is also a rare genius in the world. In his opinion, Guo Jia is one of the few people who can be said to be above him.This time, he died after his own plotting. Although he fulfilled his promise to Yuan Shang and made great achievements, Chen Deng felt a little regretful in his heart. It is really a pity that a ghost like Guo Jia died like this. Damn, another peerless character is missing...

For a moment, Chen Deng was slightly confused, and a trace of confused and complicated emotions unconsciously arose in his heart.

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, my lord left in a hurry and didn't send someone to bring back Guo Jia's body, otherwise I would have brought it back for you to have a look at."

Sima Yi nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Deng smiled wryly, and said, "Forget it, in my opinion, even if a ghost becomes a real ghost, he won't be willing to see us."

After a pause, Chen Deng murmured: "Being loyal to the Cao family with all his heart, this is the biggest mistake in Guo Jia's life. If he can see the current situation clearly, he will be able to shine in the future, why bother to leave?" To this point today..."

Gan Ning heard the words and said: "My lord's messenger also said that Guo Jia and the others have been completely blocked by my lord. If there are no omissions in the city, we can continue to act according to the second step!"

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

"Oh?" Chen Deng was curious when he heard the words, and said, "There is a second plan? What plan?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Have you seen the city we captured by what capacity?"

Chen Deng rolled his eyes and said, "Soochow Navy...do you still want to?"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "That's right, we will continue to use the status of the Soochow Navy!"

*****************************
Not long after, Chen Deng personally wrote a letter, affixed Guo Jia's seal and ribbon in the prefect's mansion, and sent someone to Guangling to Zhang Liao's camp.

The meaning in his heart is roughly as follows. It is said that when Chen Deng went to Soochow to talk about the alliance with the two families, he had already abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and returned to Wuhou. Now Xiapi City has been quickly acquired by the Soochow navy. , Marquis Wu is an invincible lord who cherishes the talents of Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin, etc., and cannot bear to be killed. The southeast half of the country will not lose its fragrance through the ages.

After reading Chen Deng's letter, Zhang Liao shook his body, loosened his fingers, and dropped the letter to the ground with a 'pop'.

"Guo Jijiu... is dead?"

The tent was quiet, and when I was young, I heard a burst of 'woo woo' crying from inside.Although Guo Jia usually behaves like a rambunctious person, he has a deep sense of loyalty to others. He is also an old man of the Cao family, and he is admired and loved by all the generals. Now that Guo Jia has passed away, all the generals in the tent are saddened by it.

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

Thinking of the five most powerful assistants under Cao Cao in the past when he was in his prime, the second Xun Chengyu, a ghostly genius and a poisonous man, has gone to the third one today!Cheng Yu died with the former lord in his early years, and Xun You was imprisoned in Yecheng. Now, even Guo Jia, the immortal ghost who was hailed by the former lord as the crown of wise men in the world, has died. How many top talents are left in the Cao family?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, waved his hands, and said, "Go, send someone to Xiapi City to investigate the situation, see the situation, and then make a decision..."

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

Zhang Liao let out a long sigh and said, "Let's find out the situation first. If the current situation is true, there is no point for us to stay in Xuzhou any longer. We should go back to Yanzhou as early as possible, meet with the prime minister, and then make a decision."

Hearing this, Li Dian raised his eyes to look at Zhang Liao with a face as deep as the sea, and said, "Once Jijiu dies, we go back like this, isn't it a bit...?"

Le Jin didn't care about it, and said loudly: "Guo Jijiu is dead, how can we just drag on!"

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

"Not bad! Let's not go~"

"Kill Wu Gou and avenge Guo Jijiu!"

"Sacrificing wine as a festival, even if he is a literati, let alone us!"

"........."

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

A huge problem that is inevitable at the moment falls into one's own camp.

Once Guo Jia died, the dragons would have no leader!

Although I can temporarily command the generals whose status is lower than my own, but I can't command Li Dian who is of the same status as myself, happy to enter!
If there is a prime minister's seal or Guo Jia's legacy, it may be all right to choose one of the three to lead the other two, but now that these two things are absent, who of the three should control whom?

At this moment, the crowd in the tent is excited, and some generals headed by Le Jin are going to lead the army, and return to the division to fight Soochow to the death!
Hearing this, Zhang Liao got up quickly and said, "Wen Qian, don't act rashly!"

Le Jin stopped suddenly, looked back at Zhang Liao deeply, and said: "Zhang Wenyuan, Jijiu died, and was killed by Chen Deng's traitor and the dogs of Dongwu in collusion. Don't you want to avenge him at all? Your heart , is it made of stone?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Guo Jijiu died, I am naturally very sad! It's just... just... It's not the time to use martial arts without authorization. After all, we still have the enemy Yuan Shang on our side. In case ..."

"It's nothing in case! Today I will go all out, and I will fight Soochow to the death no matter what!"

Zhang Liao became anxious when he heard the words, and turned to Li Dian and said, "Mancheng, what are you doing standing there! Quickly persuade Wen Qian!"

When Li Dian heard the words, he just stroked his beard and sat quietly, as if he didn't hear it, as if nothing happened.

Although the three generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin are fellow ministers, they have never been very eye-catching. Back then Li Dian's uncle Li Qian died at the hands of Lu Bu's army, and Zhang Liao was the number one general in Lu Bu's account back then. He fought with Li Dianle many times and won many times. After surrendering, although his status was equal to that of the two generals, he was faintly superior to the two in terms of being reused by Cao Cao.

Li Dian and Le Jinjiu fought with Cao Cao, and they were the veterans of the team. They didn't say anything on the surface, how could they be happy in their hearts...

Today, the disadvantages are beginning to appear.

**********************
Guangling, Yuan Jun camp.

The news of Guo Jia's death and the collapse of Xiapi City was brought back by Yuan Shang to the high-ranking generals. Everyone was in high spirits, full of vigor and fighting spirit, and all the generals asked for orders to fight!
Yuan Shang was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said: "Going to battle is a matter of time, but the most urgent thing is to first bring the news to Yuan Xi and Tian Feng in Yanzhou, let them know, and then find a way to spread the news to the people in Zhongzhou With Cao Jun, mess up Cao Zhi's position, and then wait quietly for Zhang Liao and the others to fight Soochow, and take advantage of the situation to fight, and then we will have the best opportunity to complete our achievements in one battle."

Pang Ji thought for a while, and said, "Zhang Liao is both wise and brave, and he is not someone to wait for. Although we have made arrangements, it may still be difficult to provoke him to attack Soochow."

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

Pang Ji was surprised when he heard the words, and said: "You mean, Cao Jun can take the initiative to attack Soochow?"

"It should be possible. Among the main generals in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin have different personalities. I heard that Li Dian, Le Jin, and Guo Jia have good personal education. They belong to Cao Cao's old team. Guo Jia did not serve Xuzhou before his death. Leaving the candidate for the chief general, whether it is public or private, Cao Jun's side should not be too peaceful now."
