Jizhou, Yecheng, Prince Wei's Mansion.
Compared with the palace of King Liu Zhang of Qin, Cao Cao's Palace of Wei can be said to be not impressive at all.
It was simply transformed from the former residence of General Yuan Shao.
It's said to be a transformation, but in fact it hasn't been changed much, just a simple modification.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to pacify Jingzhou and conquer Jiangdong, and then use the victory to build a palace.
The result was a disastrous defeat.
Not only were there heavy casualties, but there were also countless losses in food, grass and baggage.
Not to mention repairing the palace, even the soldiers can hardly afford to support them.
If it weren't for the desperate deal with the clan, the entire Cao Wei power would have fallen apart.
After this period of patient cultivation and Guo Jia's various fierce methods.
Life for Wei King Cao Cao gradually became more comfortable.
Especially after the grain and grass from Qin State were delivered, the soldiers' urgent need for food was completely solved.
From now on, we only need to wait until the autumn harvest to have a steady supply of food and grass.
As the saying goes, when you are busy, you have no time to think about anything else. Once you are free, you start to act like a monster.
In the meeting hall, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were discussing state affairs.
"In terms of filial piety, are there any differences among the states?"
Guo Jia shook his head with a confident smile on his face.
"Don't worry, King Wei, everything is under our control."
After Cao Cao heard this, his beard stood up proudly.
"With Fengxiao here, I can sit back and relax!"
"Hehehe..."
Guo Jia did not shirk, and chuckled in agreement, thinking that he was worthy of this evaluation.
Without his efforts, how could the states settle down so quickly?
Without his efforts, how could the Prince of Wei now regain control over the states and counties bit by bit?
Everything, even if it circumvents Cao Cao, cannot circumvent Guo Jia.
The name of a genius is well deserved!
"Fengxiao, how are you doing with the relocation of the Wuhuan people? Is Gongsun Du planning to launch an attack?"
Since the killing of Tadun, the Wuhuan Chanyu, and the elimination of tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry, the entire Wuhuan tribe has almost no power to resist.
Therefore, Cao Cao took it upon himself to move all the Wuhuan people to Hebei to replenish the population lost in successive battles.
Since Wuhuan was close to Liaodong, the attitude of Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, was very important.
Previously, when Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao, Gongsun Du did not dare to make another mistake and declare himself a vassal.
After the disastrous defeat in the Southern Expedition, Gongsun Du's attitude changed.
Cao Cao was furious and always wanted to destroy Gongsun Du.
But the current strength no longer allows it, so I can only endure this tone for the time being.
However, there are variables in the migration of Wuhuan people.
"Don't worry, King Wei. Gongsun Du is seriously ill and will die soon. How can he want to stop us from moving?"
"Now his two sons are fighting for power and have too much time to take care of themselves!"
Cao Cao was completely relieved.
"Traitors and traitors deserve this kind of retribution! When Gu Gu is recuperating, let's take action on this traitor first!"
Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.
I really have no interest in arguing immediately about something that will only be considered a few years later.
If the conquest of Liaodong fails, shouldn't Cao Cao be allowed to have a good time?
We cannot suffocate the majestic King Wei to death!
Seeing that Guo Jia was not interested in matters in Liaodong, Cao Cao turned the topic to Chang'an.
"By the way, Fengxiao, is there any news from Chang'an? When will Yuan Rang and the others come back?"
Guo Jia shook his head gently.
"King Wei, Liu Zhang's martial arts tournament is so popular that it won't be over for a while."
"However, there is news that King Wei may be more interested in."
"What?"
Cao Cao looked puzzled.
"All ten contestants sent by Sun Quan were eliminated! Many of them were done by our own people!"
As Guo Jia expected, Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Oh? Hahaha! Okay, okay!"
"These rats deserve this end!"
During the southern expedition to Jingzhou, Cao Cao was constantly teased by Jiangdong Lu Xun, and eventually lost Huainan and Guangling County.
This bad breath has been held in my chest and cannot be relieved.
Today, it finally came out a little bit.
"By the way, General Xiahou also said that he would bring a surprise to King Wei."
When Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao was even more itchy.
"Although Yuan Rang is a little impatient, he never deceives Gu. I really don't know what he can bring to Gu..."
Guo Jia was unable to reply to this question.
This is how the information came, and he could only repeat it to Cao Cao.
"Fengxiao, is there any news in the Loop?"
When the Loop was mentioned, Guo Jia became obviously proud.
As a hidden chess piece to raid Liu Zhang in the future, Guo Jia took this plan very seriously!
Even in order to complete the drama, there is a drama about the Wang family's rebellion in the future.
However, these are all things for later.
"Reporting to the King of Wei, the latest news from Wang Ling is that Wang Chen has gained the trust of Huchuquan and Qubei."
"With Wang Chen's intervention, Liu Bao has been driven out of the royal court. It won't be long before Huchuquan and his son can completely control the entire Xiongnu!"
"well-done!"
Cao Cao was very satisfied with the news.
"Fengxiao, what about after getting rid of Liu Bao? Do you want to support Huchuquan?"
Guo Jia shook his head, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"King Wei, Hu Chuquan is cunning and cunning, and extremely difficult to control! If you keep him, you will keep him in trouble!"
"We can't let a bad guy ruin such a big game like ours!"
Cao Cao rarely refuted Guo Jia's opinions.
Especially this kind of well-founded argument.
"Hmm... That makes sense. So what do you think we should do?"
"Hu Chuquan is a cunning man, but his son is stubborn! He is greedy for money, lustful, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He is someone we can take advantage of."
"When Liu Bao is eliminated, we will use Qubei to kill Huchuquan and let Qubei command the entire Xiongnu!"
"When the time comes, I will use some means to make the entire Huns come under the control of King Wei!"
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, feeling indescribably satisfied.
"Hahaha, if you only have filial piety, why worry about the instability of the world, and why worry about Liu Zhang's immortality!"
Only after returning from the disastrous defeat of the Southern Expedition did Cao Cao truly understand the power of Guo Jia.
If he had listened to Guo Jia earlier, he would not have launched a southern expedition, but would have accumulated strength and trained his soldiers.
In this way, in less than five years, the power of Wei State will be comparable to that of Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan combined!
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Only then did Cao Cao decide to make amends.
I didn’t listen to it before, but I must listen to it in the future.
Facts have proved that this decision is not too wise!
During this period, he followed Guo Jiayan's advice and the situation was quickly restored.
Although it is far from what it was before the Southern Expedition, there is finally hope!
As the mastermind, Guo Jia was deeply moved by the monarch's 100% trust.
It is precisely because of this excitement that Guo Jia is able to make clever plans and constantly save the situation.
Secretly controlling the Xiongnu's strategy was Guo Jia's reward for Cao Cao.
It's a pity that something went wrong in the middle that no one could have imagined.
