Chapter 76 Let's give him one reason too.
Cao Cao's face turned ashen; he felt a tremendous provocation!
The surroundings were silent, except for Guo Jia's echoing voice. Everyone present understood what he had just said.
Li Zhao possessed something they could not resist!
This person doesn't want to expand rapidly; he only wants to keep to himself.
There was even an intention to let them compete with Yuan Shao so that he could reap the benefits.
This kind of person must not be tolerated!
"What exactly is this thing you're talking about?" Cao Cao asked cautiously, narrowing his eyes.
According to Guo Jia's description, it was something that suddenly erupted and produced a huge noise.
The more I listen, the more it sounds like some kind of scam!
How could such a thing possibly exist in the world today?
The problem is that someone as intelligent as Guo Jia shouldn't be fooled.
Guo Jia took a deep breath and described once again what he had seen with his own eyes, including every detail.
This includes Li Zhao's expressions and reactions as he did these things, as well as his probing of himself.
"That can't be right?" Xun Yu, who had been listening to his story the whole time, stroked his beard and said uncertainly.
"Based on what you've said, this Li Zhao seems to know you quite well!"
"But before this, it seems you had never met, and it's impossible for any information about you to have been delivered to this person."
Could it be...?
At this point, the air around us seemed to freeze!
Everyone considered the same possibility: there was a traitor among them.
Otherwise.
How could Li Zhao possibly know so much about the people around Cao Cao?
"No, no, no..." Cao Cao shook his head, stopping them from having such thoughts.
"Don't make wild guesses; perhaps this is exactly the effect he wanted to achieve!"
"Even if he understands Fengxiao very well, it doesn't really matter. After all, he at least promised to fully support us!"
"Apart from that, I think we shouldn't take his methods too seriously!"
"Imagine... if he truly possessed weapons and equipment that could surpass everyone and absolutely crush them."
"He will never willingly remain holed up in Qingzhou!"
talking.
Cao Cao slowly stood up, his voice tinged with coldness, "Since he wants to give us a reason we can't refuse, then let him have one too!"
"No, it should be given to his subordinates!"
He slowly extended his right hand, and immediately someone respectfully handed him several intelligence reports.
Cao Cao handed these items over to Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and others.
"According to intelligence from Puyang, it's currently being guarded by Liu Bei's brothers!"
"I had heard about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei long ago. Since they have left Qingzhou, it shows that Li Zhao distrusts Lü Bu very much!"
"This is our chance. Let his men get moving first!"
Xun Yu astutely grasped the key point in these words: "I understand our lord's intention to use rewards to target Li Zhao!"
"But what did you mean by 'get moving' just now, my lord?"
moment.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Everyone who stands here is an extremely intelligent individual.
He immediately realized that Cao Cao might be hiding something from them.
really.
Cao Cao took out another intelligence report and stated its contents directly.
Kaiyang, where Xiahou Dun was located, was attacked by Yuan Shao's army.
The current situation is very bad; they can only stay in the city and hold out.
The reason it wasn't made public immediately was because they didn't want the matter to get out.
Because Cao Cao had not yet decided how to react.
They still hadn't figured out what that old scoundrel Yuan Shao was up to!
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes flashed intensely.
He suddenly had an idea!
If we need to use Li Zhao's men, then perhaps we can use Guan Yu or Zhang Fei to deal with Yuan Shao.
If that's the case, at least they can tie Li Zhao to their warship!
"My lord..." Guo Jia took a deep breath and said, "This Liu Bei claims to be the current imperial uncle!"
"Then he had no reason to refuse the emperor's order!"
"I believe we can bypass Li Zhao and issue orders directly to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Puyang!"
"Let them go and relieve Yang's siege; whether they accept or oppose it, the outcome will be acceptable!"
The group of old foxes exchanged glances, and their tense expressions gradually relaxed.
It still has to be Guo Jia...
Yes!
Since Liu Bei called himself the Imperial Uncle and frequently used this title to his advantage, he must bear the corresponding consequences!
Cao Cao nodded. "Let's do it that way!"
……
Puyang.
General's House.
After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took charge of this place, they naturally moved into the general's mansion.
Lu Bu once meticulously renovated this place to demonstrate his status and prestige.
at this time.
Zhang Fei sat in the main seat, chuckling, "Second Brother, this traitor really knows how to enjoy himself!"
"Look at this general's mansion! Even our eldest brother never enjoyed this kind of treatment!"
"If you ask me, my lord shouldn't have taken in such a person; he'll only be a menace sooner or later!"
"By the way, we must be prepared at all times. If this traitor really intends to harm our lord and elder brother, we must act immediately!"
Zhang Fei never liked Lü Bu and always remained wary of him.
He couldn't change Li Zhao's mind, but he could be prepared at any time.
If that bastard dares to make a move, he'll chop off his head!
"You can't say that..." Guan Yu, sitting next to him, said calmly, stroking his beard.
"My brother and lord are not such casual people. Since they have both approved, it means they have seen something that neither you nor I could see."
"As for Lü Bu, if he really has any improper intentions, we don't need to make any preparations."
"Do you really think my brother wouldn't have thought of this?"
"That's true!" Zhang Fei chuckled.
Just as they were about to continue talking, a servant came to report that someone from Cao Cao's side had arrived.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei's fiery temper flared up. "This is utterly outrageous!"
"Why did Cao Cao send men here? Defeat them immediately!"
"If he doesn't know what's good for him, just chop off his head!"
The newcomer was startled and was about to leave when Guan Yu stopped him, saying, "No!"
"Third brother, we must go see him right now!"
Why?
"Have you ever considered that the person Cao Cao sent might not represent him, but rather the imperial court?"
"Do you want to put your elder brother in a difficult position?" Guan Yu said in a deep voice.
As long as it concerns Liu Bei, Zhang Fei immediately loses his temper.
He reluctantly followed Guan Yu outside, and from afar he saw several eunuchs waiting respectfully...
