Chapter 75 This is the Threat
When Li Zhao and Guo Jia arrived here, Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and others had already gathered there.
Even Taishi Ci made a special trip back from outside, ready to do his utmost to help Li Zhao complete the next phase of the operation.
It's obvious why Cao Cao's men were brought to the military camp.
Guo Jia was also aware of this...
and so.
From the moment he arrived here, he was fully prepared mentally.
It's nothing more than demonstrating force to make them wary.
Cao Cao did similar things frequently; it wasn't anything new for him!
After having the necessary preparations made, Li Zhao looked at Guo Jia with a smile and explained, "Actually, it's not a big deal..."
"I accidentally discovered something new!"
"After successfully creating it, I never had the chance to test its actual power!"
"Since you're here today, sir, I thought I'd come along for a look. Trust me, you won't find the trip in vain!"
Guo Jia replied politely, "I have no doubt about the Prime Minister's abilities!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Bei and the others nearby suppressed their laughter.
Although they had never witnessed it firsthand, Li Zhao recreated his secret research from back then.
But the terrifying noise is still fresh in my memory.
Taking this opportunity, Li Zhao introduced them to each other.
The group had already heard of each other before, and they quickly became acquainted.
At this point, all preparations are complete!
Li Zhao gestured to the soldiers he was personally training that they could begin.
There was nothing fancy about it. From Guo Jia's perspective, it was just that the group buried something and then stood there waiting.
The training ground was silent, and countless eyes were focused on them.
The soldiers around him all carried a certain expectation in their hearts!
I am eager to see what happens next, and that it will be enough to shock the people sent by Cao Cao.
Followed by.
One of the generals casually took a wooden bucket filled with water and actually took it out.
The spot where the wooden barrel landed was the same place where they had just buried the things.
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly...
He knew that whatever happened next, this was the whole process.
But what effect can these measures possibly have?
"Boom—"
A loud noise came without warning.
The commotion was so loud that even the soldiers watching from all around were so frightened that they crouched down.
Like Guo Jia, Xu Shu and the others stared in horror at the source of the terrifying commotion.
The wooden bucket that had just been thrown was instantly reduced to pieces.
The once flat ground has been turned into a deep pit!
The soldiers who had just been preparing lay prone on the ground, covering their ears tightly, looking extremely skilled.
On the entire training ground, only Li Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression showing no change.
It was as if to him it was just a trivial matter!
utter silence reigned all around!
Li Zhao gave Guo Jia a meaningful look, clearly satisfied with the outcome.
He did not lose his composure when faced with such a horrific sight for the first time.
Instead, the first thing I thought of was to observe my own condition.
It is already quite an achievement to have done all this.
"This...this is..." Guo Jia swallowed hard, trying his best to suppress his emotional fluctuations.
He had seen that terrifying commotion very clearly.
Don't underestimate this small wooden bucket; if it were a person, the outcome would probably be the same.
It's hard to imagine what would happen if such methods were used on the battlefield.
"It was just a small idea, and I was lucky enough to make it happen!"
"It's a wonderful thing to be able to witness such a moment with you, sir!" Li Zhao said with a smile.
But these words had a completely different meaning when they reached Guo Jia's ears.
This... is an undisguised threat!
He also wanted to use him to convey these ideas to Cao Cao!
"I appreciate your kindness, Your Excellency!" Guo Jia bowed respectfully.
"I have kept your words in mind, sir. I hope that we can have another long talk in the future!"
"You've worked hard, sir!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Guo Jia immediately took his leave.
There was no probing or curiosity about the methods used.
It was as if I had just experienced something perfectly normal.
"Strange..." Xu Shu frowned slightly. "Why doesn't he seem interested at all?"
Liu Bei thoughtfully continued, "He didn't ask about anything related to Lü Bu. Could it be that he's guessed something?"
Finding that Li Zhao didn't speak, the two exchanged a glance and finally looked at the deep pit in the distance.
If this terrifying tactic can be utilized, it will surely make us invincible on the battlefield in the future.
But everything in this world comes at a price for every gain!
What do you have to give up to have this?
……
After leaving Linzi, Guo Jia spent the entire journey considering how to report back to Cao Cao.
Because he helplessly discovered that he seemed to have reached that point again where he had no choice.
Looking back on everything I've done with Li Zhao, it all seems to be like this: knowing what the possible consequences might be, yet having no choice but to do it.
"Lu Bu is not here, and Chen Gong is nowhere to be seen either..."
"He doesn't shy away from the topic of Yuan Shao at all. What exactly is this man plotting?" Guo Jia muttered to himself, frowning as he sat in the carriage.
They didn't even notice that the carriage had already stopped outside the Sikong Mansion.
Upon receiving the news, Cao Cao immediately dropped everything and rushed to the main hall as quickly as possible.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and others were also summoned immediately.
"Fengxiao, I heard you brought back a lot of grain this time. What does he mean by that?" Jia Xu asked, unusually taking the initiative.
Others also cast concerned glances at them!
They were all very curious about Li Zhao.
"He agreed to all our conditions!" Guo Jia said directly.
"and then?"
"He only has one request..."
"What is it?"
Guo Jia did not answer, but looked at Cao Cao, who remained silent.
"What does he want?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, a bad feeling creeping over him.
"If our lord takes action against Yuan Shao, he will fully support him, but he must not harbor any improper thoughts towards him!"
"Anything else?"
"there is none left……"
"Um?"
Cao Cao's already grim expression turned even more somber.
Guo Jia has yet to mention the conditions he has set.
This clearly demonstrates that this approach has failed!
Does this Li Zhao really not care about reputation or status at all?
He really didn't believe that anyone in this world could completely ignore these things.
"My lord, he is absolutely certain that we will agree!" Guo Jia slowly raised his head, a hint of... helplessness in his usually composed gaze.
"Because he gave us a reason we couldn't refuse!"
"To be precise, it's... a threat!"
