Guo Jiajiang recounted the news to Cao Cao in detail.
It's just scattered and not very comprehensive.
The news of the tournament was in Jingzhou, and the Chamber of Commerce in Yangzhou was responsible for conveying it in detail.
As for the Central Plains, the envoy sent by Liu Zhang has not yet arrived.
Therefore, the information Guo Jia got was obtained from various aspects.
After hearing the general idea, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Fengxiao, has Liu Zhang become so idle?"
"I have obtained three divine horses. Instead of hiding them myself, I want to openly let everyone in the world fight for them?"
Cao Cao has been carefully collecting the melon yellow flying electricity that Xu Shu brought before.
I'm afraid that the generals under my command will covet him when they see it!
If Cao Cao knew that his claw yellow flying lightning was a fake, I don't know how he would feel. . .
"King Wei, there is another news from Guanzhong. It is said that Liu Zhang's Western Expedition brought back a horse king. This horse is the king of horses in Dawan in the Western Regions."
"As a result, the horse knelt down and worshiped Liu Zhang in public, raising the identity and status of King Qin to an unprecedented height!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao sneered and completely scoffed.
He didn't believe a word of this illusory thing.
"Fengxiao, Liu Zhang must have had evil intentions and was building momentum for himself in advance!"
"The Horse King is also a horse, and it is just a beast. How can it know so much?"
Guo Jia nodded slightly, his views were the same as Cao Cao's.
This kind of thing is really shocking.
"King Wei, no matter what, we in Wei must participate in this martial arts competition."
"First of all, as long as the winner of the martial arts competition, everyone can get a thousand gold coins!"
"Secondly, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will participate, which can show the strength of our Wei State!"
"If our generals from Wei State can defeat the heroes, they will definitely make other forces fearful!"
Cao Cao recognized Guo Jia's words very much. In fact, what he recognized most was the thousand pieces of gold!
After trading with the Qin Chamber of Commerce for a long time, Cao Cao was extremely shocked by the power of this chamber of commerce.
One thousand gold can be directly exchanged for ten million!
The Qin State Chamber of Commerce clearly marked the price of grain, ranging from twenty to thirty yuan per stone. The price has never increased for many years.
In other words, if a top military general stands out, he can get at least 300,000 stone of food!
Three hundred thousand stones is not a small sum for any force.
Especially the extremely weak Wei State, which is enough to keep it alive!
"Since Liu Zhang gave Gu Gu food, Gu would be disrespectful..."
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth gradually rose, and he finally showed a long-lost smile.
The reason is also very simple, more than one of him can get a thousand gold coins!
Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong brothers, Xu Chu, Zhang He, Le Jin, etc., which one is not brave and brave?
Be ruthless and work together to earn at least 10,000 gold steadily!
When millions of stones of grain are obtained, I will naturally own the world!
But after being happy for a while, Cao Cao's smile froze on his face.
"Fengxiao, the competition is on the first day of June. How are we going to spend the past six months?"
From the competition to the end, to exchanging food and transporting it back.
I don’t know how long it will take during this period!
Waiting for Liu Zhang's food, he would have starved to death!
Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao helplessly.
He was just about to remind Cao Cao that he was happy too early!
"King Wei, Wei Chen has conducted a detailed investigation and found that Liu Zhang passed the news to Jingzhou Liu Bei and Yangzhou Sun Quan in the form of a chamber of commerce."
"Normally speaking, we are closest to Guanzhong, and transactions with the Qin Chamber of Commerce are going on every day."
"But isn't King Wei surprised? Why are we the only ones who don't have any news?"
Cao Cao was surprised, of course he was.
It's just that he is currently worried about the food problem and has no intention to wonder whether these things are available or not.
"Fengxiao, Liu Zhang does things out of common sense. As long as anything is related to him, I won't find it strange!"
"Maybe it's because we defeated Nanjun and were so weak that we looked down on Gu..."
As he said that, Cao Cao smiled mockingly.
The mind couldn't help but think of Xu Shu's extremely flattering appearance in front of him.
It’s really this moment and that moment!
Guo Jia shook his head slightly, he didn't think so.
"King Wei, I have other opinions."
"Our defeat is very likely, but now we have passed the most critical moment."
"If Liu Zhang wanted to take advantage of the situation, he wouldn't have waited until now!"
"Furthermore, the defeat of Nanjun also reminded Liu Zhang that the Sun-Liu coalition is not that easy to deal with."
"Whether it is the King of Wei or Liu Zhang, the soldiers and horses under their command are all known to be on foot and on horseback. It is difficult to exert their advantage in the Jianghan waters!"
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Guo Jia mentioned the battle of Nanjun, which made Cao Cao's face darken again.
Even though I knew Guo Jia didn't mean it.
"Fengxiao, Liu Zhang won a great victory in Nanjun, Gu was defeated in Nanjun..."
"I'm afraid Liu Zhang is not afraid of the Sun-Liu coalition..."
"No!"
Guo Jia immediately objected.
"The reason for Liu Zhang's victory was that he locked the war on the Yiting and Yiling front lines."
"Don't be too discouraged, King Wei, we have also completely driven Liu Bei out of Nanjun!"
"What does Fengxiao mean?"
Cao Cao no longer wants to dwell on the past.
Right now, it's more important to think deeply.
Overall, Guo Jia's opinions are enough for Cao Cao to take seriously.
"King Wei, I estimate that Liu Zhang will still choose to join forces with us to fight against the Sun-Liu coalition."
"After all, everything Liu Zhang has now comes from the rewards from the Xuchang court."
"When there are still hostile forces in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, openly breaking up with the Xuchang court will definitely not be conducive to the development of Qin!"
"If Liu Zhang is deprived of his royal title in the name of the imperial court and the title of the Qin State is revoked, Liu Zhang will have no choice but to establish himself as king if he wants to become an orphan in the west again!"
"At that time, his proud descendants and Han family members will all become his constraints."
Guo Jia's words gave Cao Cao a glimmer of light in the darkness.
The Han Emperor, Emperor Liu Xie, is still a trump card in his hand!
Especially for people like Liu Zhang and Liu Bei who claim to be members of the clan.
If you openly confront the imperial court and disobey the emperor, it will violate your identity and ancestral precepts.
Naturally, he is no different from a rebel!
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Cao Cao's mind.
"Fengxiao, what if we ask Liu Zhang for food and grass in the name of the emperor?"
"Wouldn't this solve the food crisis?"
Guo Jia gave Cao Cao a strange look and was extremely dissatisfied with his idea. . .
"King Wei, it's better not to waste your efforts."
"Liu Zhang is so treacherous that unless your majesty starves to death in front of him, he will not give you a bite to eat."
"Our current energy can be focused on the martial arts competition on the first day of June."
"With the strength of our Wei generals, we can bring food from Qin with dignity and dignity!"
Cao Cao looked apologetic, knowing that he had thought too much.
"Having said that, how are you going to survive these few months..."
Guo Jia put his chin on his hand and made a bold prediction.
"King Wei, maybe Liu Zhang's envoy is already on the way..."
At this moment, the guard's voice sounded outside the door.
"Informing the King of Wei, Xu Shu, the envoy from the State of Qin, arrived outside and requested to meet the King of Wei!"
. . .
