Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 44: The weird Chen Qun and the desperate Jia Xu
"Huh? Me?"

Xu Chu was stunned.

After thinking about it, I made up a reason and said.

"Ahem... I, I just had a stomachache, so I went to the bathroom..."

"Going to the toilet?"

"Is Zhongkang serious?"

Cao Cao asked.

Xu Chu nodded.

"Of course, it's on the hill behind."

"Then I heard shouts of killing, so I hurried back."

"Prime Minister, if you don't trust others, how can you not trust me?"

"How could I possibly lie to you?"

One of the few lies in life.

As Hu Chi spoke, his old face turned red.

He spoke in a very low voice, giving people the impression that he was extremely guilty.

Look at him like this.

Cao Cao did not expose the truth or say anything more.

Instead, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him.

"Don't be nervous, Zhongkang. I will never doubt you, no matter who I doubt."

"By the way, Zhongkang, do you have any idea where Liu Bei and his men will go next when they flee to him? Some counselors have advised that Liu Bei and his men will abandon Fancheng and go to Xiangyang for help.

What do you think about this matter, Zhongkang? "

However, halfway through his words, he changed the subject and asked Xu Chu again.

Xu Chu didn't think much about it at all.

When he heard Cao Cao's question, he immediately answered.

"It really does!"

"But Prime Minister, I think they will not go to Xiangyang, but to Jiangling! They intend to join forces with Liu Qi of Jiangxia!"

"Oh? Is there any basis for Zhongkang's conclusion?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately opened his mouth and asked excitedly.

But he was staring at me with expectant eyes.

Xu Chu was instantly at a loss.

Time was tight, and when Su Chen told him the news, he only mentioned it briefly.

The other party didn't say a word about how he made the judgment.

This is just like copying the answers.

He only knew the result, but Cao Cao insisted on asking him about the solution process. How could he not be overwhelmed?

So this time, after listening to Cao Cao’s question, the person who was excited just now suddenly fell silent.

He hesitated for a long time.

This is the way.

"As for the basis... ahem, it's hard to say what basis there is or not. I just think that there is a possibility."

Listen to him.

Cao Cao said "oh" but didn't blame him. He just said, "I see. I know... You've been working hard all day. Zhongkang, you must be tired too. Go and have a rest. What do you think?"

"Okay, Prime Minister, then Zhongkang will take his leave now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu felt relieved and immediately left with a fist salute.

Watching his back as he left, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh again.

"I am such a tiger fanatic, I really can't hide anything."

"Whatever it is, it's written on my face."

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

While speaking, he turned his head and once again set his gaze on Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe behind him.

Feeling his expectant gaze, Jia Wenhe clearly understood what Cao Cao meant.

I felt my scalp explode in an instant and I jumped out immediately to argue for myself once again.

"Prime Minister, it's really not me. During the chaos at Changbanpo, I stayed in the tent and never left. Zhongde can even testify to this!"

This time the performance is not exaggerated, it can really be said that it is extremely exciting.

But seeing him like this, Cao Cao just smiled.

"Brother Wenhe, why are you so excited? I just want to ask you what you think about Liu Bei's next march."

"Or, Brother Wenhe, will you also take a good rest in your tent?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qun in the back also spoke up and added to the conversation.

"Yes, Brother Wenhe is probably tired. I will go back and have a good discussion with Zhongde. Tomorrow morning, the Prime Minister can ask General Xu again. I am sure there will be some results."

This statement is more sarcastic than caring.

Ask your sister!

Discuss anything with Zhongde.

Why don't you just say behind his back that I'm giving Xu Chu advice.

You're going around in circles, it's disgusting, isn't it?

Listening to Chen Qun's sarcastic remarks, Jia Xu felt like he was going to explode with anger.

But in front of the prime minister, he couldn't refute anything.

After thinking about it.

Simply give it a go.

Anyway, he is the one who takes the blame.

Push him to the front to be the first to take action.

He might as well just do it.

Just offer your suggestions directly and that's it.

With this idea in mind.

Jia Xu made up his mind and finally expressed his true thoughts in front of Cao Cao.

"That's not necessary."

"In reply to the Prime Minister, I... ahem, I agree with General Zhongkang this time. I also think that Liu Bei will abandon Fancheng and head straight to Jiangling.

Even in this battle at Changbanpo, in my humble opinion, Liu Bei's behavior seemed to be deliberately slowing down our progress, pretending to build a plank road but secretly attacking Chencang."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Seeing Jia Xu's reaction, Cao Cao also perked up a little.

Jia Xu asked in return, "Prime Minister, didn't you notice that there is a general under Liu Bei who never showed up during the Battle of Changbanpo from beginning to end..."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then he thought of something, his eyes lit up and he asked.

"You mean, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Yes, it's General Guan!"

"The seven ins and outs of Changshan Zhao Zilong were indeed amazing, but if we were to say who were the two most capable generals under Liu Bei, they would have to be his two sworn brothers.

The Prime Minister has also met Guan Yu, so he should know what kind of person he is, right? "

Jia Xu asked.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao answered without hesitation.

"Righteous spirit!"

"Yun Chang is not only a man of extraordinary ability, but also a loyal and courageous man. It's a pity that he is stubborn and would follow anyone else but the big-eared thief..."

At the end of the day.

It is full of regret and sigh.

It feels like a good general who has to resort to being a thief.

This was not the first time Jia Xu had come into contact with Cao Cao.

Knowing this guy, he is obsessed with Guan Yu just like he is with his wife.

So it’s not surprising to see him behave like this at this moment.

Instead, he added, "That's it. A man like General Guan would never abandon Liu Da'er when he was in danger. But he didn't show up at the Battle of Changbanpo. What does this prove?"

"It proves that he definitely has a more important mission than covering the retreat of Liu Bei's army!"

"You mean, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to attack Jiangling in advance!"

Cao Cao was also a smart man and he understood everything at once.

Jia Xu nodded, his face calm.

Cao Cao was excited.

"I understand!"

"Wenhe, this time it's all thanks to you. You have made another contribution this time."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Jia Xu's hand.

His face was filled with emotion.

"..."

Seeing him like this, Jia Xu was speechless.

With a dark face, he reminded again.

"Prime Minister, this strategy was not proposed by me. It was proposed by General Xu Chu. Prime Minister, you are thanking the wrong person."

"Even if we really want to thank someone, we should thank General Xu Chu."

"I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he pulled his hand out of Cao Cao's palm and left in a hurry.

"Wen He is a man who won't cry until he sees the coffin..."

Look at Jia Xu leaving with a dark face.

Cao Cao shook his head.

I also felt angry.

His original intention was to pull Lu Lingqi out of Jia Xu's tent and catch her red-handed.

There was nothing Jia Xu could do to refute.

Force him to confess directly.

After all, this feeling of guessing all day long is quite tiring.

After a long time, others don’t know.

At least Cao Cao himself was really fed up with it.

But when the ministers dispersed, the spy reported the results of the investigation.

Instead, it was Cao Cao himself who was really frightened.
