"Hahaha!"

When everyone in the hall was still immersed in the concentration of thoughts, Li Li smiled and praised: "I think about filial piety and thought thoroughly, and every sentence I say is reasonable and directly hits the point."

"Thank you for your praise, lord, I am ashamed of you." Guo Jia said with a humble smile.

Li Li shook his head gently and said with a smile: "You don't have to be humble in Fengxiao. I heard that Fengxiao and Cheng Yu had known each other for a long time. They were classmates and friends in the past, and had a lot of personal relationships. Since they were visiting an old friend, I will not see Cheng Yu tonight. Fengxiao will meet him on my behalf and fully handle the alliance matters. Can Fengxiao take on this responsibility?"

"Uh!" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said respectfully: "No, my subordinates will accept the order. However, if Cheng Yu wants to get rid of the Cao army general who was captured by our army, how should he deal with it?"

"Well, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome, and some people cannot let go of it." Li Li nodded and pondered, then turned his eyes to Jia Xu: "Leave the prisoners of war to Wenhe to deal with. Just act according to the opportunity. I believe Wenhe knows it. Just do it like this. It's late at night, everyone will go back to rest."

Watching Teng Xiao, Bo Cai and Gao Shun and the other two left, Li Li stood up and walked into the hall, and said to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, "I heard that Cheng Yu is a trusted adviser who Cao Cao relied heavily on, but forming an alliance requires sincerity; especially when Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with us, he needs enough sincerity. For details, you two should be sure of the measure. I will declare in advance that even if Cao Zhuo is not an internal supporter, there will be our allies among the allies. The most important thing is that I will destroy Cao Cao sooner or later."

While speaking, Li Li patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and smiled and said, "The cold night is heavy, thank you for your hard work tonight."

"This is my part, so how dare I say it's hard." Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled respectfully.

"Okay. Very good. Since that's the case, I'll go back and rest. You two can stay here to meet Cheng Yu."

After saying that, Li Li smiled and nodded at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and then strode towards the inner hall of the back tent.

After Li Li left, the smile on Jia Xu's face quickly faded. He turned to look at Guo Jia calmly and said softly: "It seems that you and I don't want to rest tonight. This seems easy, but it is actually quite tricky."

"Hmm?" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the sound and said in confusion: "Why did Brother Wen and I say this? If you can talk about this matter, what is the tricky thing if Cao Cao is not sincere enough? "

Jia Xu shook his head slightly and whispered: "Didn't Fengxiao hear what his lord mean?"

"Uh!" Guo Jia's expression was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and he said suspiciously: "Brother Wenhe means "Cheng Yu?"

"That's right. The lord just said that Cheng Yu was a confidant adviser who was highly trusted by Cao Cao. This sentence is of great weight!"

"Ah, can it be??? Since ancient times, the two countries have not been killed. What should we do? I hope Wenwen and brother have a high opinion of him."

"It's not a high opinion. I hope Cheng Yu is prepared this time, otherwise... I can act according to the opportunity." Jia Xu wanted to say something but stopped. After saying that, he turned around and walked into the curtain behind the lobby, and hidden behind the scenes.

Guo Jia stood in the middle of the lobby and was stunned. After a while, he shook his head helplessly. Then he ordered the personal military camp to hold a banquet and bring Cheng Yu to the banquet.

—————

The cold wind whistles outside the tent, and the dripping water turns into ice; the charcoal fire in the tent is raging, and it is as warm as spring.

The two tables were together. They were placed in the center of the main hall, and Guo Jia and Cheng Yu sat opposite each other.

When old friends meet, they will definitely hold banquets and entertain, reminisce about the past and drink, have a great time to talk, and raise their glasses and cups, and an hour passes quietly.

After drinking and eating, Guo Jia waved his hand to signal the personal soldiers to remove the food and drinks and replace them with fragrant tea that had been prepared.

"The tea smells so strong, the fragrance is strong, and there is a fragrance after entering the abdomen. It is really a good tea!" After taking a sip of the tea, Cheng Yu praised it.

Guo Jia nodded and smiled, "This tea is the tea that the lord specially ordered people to pick. The tea picker must be a cardamom girl. Then the lord personally teaches tea making skills to have such a rare fragrant tea in the world. Tonight, I heard that Brother Zhongde came, so I would naturally take out the best fragrant tea to entertain my brother. If the elder brother does not abandon him, I can then bring some tea cakes back and enjoy it slowly."

After hearing this, Cheng Yu's brows moved slightly, looked at Guo Jia with a smile, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Hui, I'm so disrespectful. Just??? I took the liberty to ask, can Brother Hui still walk out of this magnificent and handsome tent tonight?"

"What does Brother Zhongde mean? Do you think Brother Yu will harm you?"

"Fengxiao will naturally not harm me, but your lord may not allow me to leave. I'm not wrong, right?"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly and smiled calmly, "After separation for many years, Brother Zhongde has not changed at all, and he is still so suspicious. Didn't he hear that the two countries have not been killed in war, let alone you and me are still classmates and old friends. As long as Brother Zhongde comes with sincerity and does not mean to deceive our master, Brother Zhongde dares to use his head to guarantee that Brother Zhongde will be able to leave safely and no one will make things difficult for you."

"Is it sincerity? I don't know how to be sincere? How can I satisfy the general? Fengxiao might as well tell me the truth." Cheng Yu asked solemnly.

"Since Brother Zhongde asked, I will naturally tell you the truth and never hide it." Guo Jia nodded happily, and the smile on her face quickly with this sentence, and she changed into a serious and serious face.

Before they knew it, the two of them directly omitted unnecessary greetings and courtesy, and went straight to the point. When they spoke, they were the core of this secret discussion.

After a brief pause, Guo Jia took a sip of tea to clear his throat, and said in a calm tone: "Your lord Cao Cao is in a difficult situation now. The foundation of Yanzhou has been lost, and most of the troops have been lost. The generals under the tent are either dead or injured, or defeated and captured, and they are about to be destroyed. Now they are just surviving. In the Feiyundu battle two months ago, Cao Cao was able to survive under the heavy encirclement of our army. This move is beyond my lord's expectations, and my lord appreciates Cao Cao's talents very much.

For this reason, our lord intends to accept Cao Cao, grant him the position of General Wei, and entrusted him with important responsibilities. He will never be wronged. If he is unwilling to fight outside, he can also become an official in the court, and the three dukes and nine ministers are allowed to choose him, which can allow him to show his ambitions and display his talents in voluntarily. Of course, all civil and military officials and soldiers of the Cao army will be treated preferentially. Generals and civil officials who are willing to continue to serve in the army will be promoted to one level, and their salaries will be increased accordingly. If you cannot reply to your lord Cao Cao, it doesn’t matter. We will send someone to ask for his opinion. I wonder what Brother Zhongde wants to do this in this arrangement?"

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yu laughed loudly, as if he heard a huge joke, and tears burst out from his eyes.

"Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. Who doesn't know that you are eloquent and eloquent in Yingchuan Academy? I didn't expect that you would use your old tricks again tonight in front of me, Cheng Yu, and you said something nonsense so seriously! Do you think I, Cheng Yu, are so crazy that you deceive me?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia remained calm and said solemnly: "Why did Brother Zhongde say this? Tonight, I, Guo Jia, discussing major events with you on behalf of my lord, did you have nonsense? Where did you start talking about crazy words? With the situation Cao Cao is facing now, except for relying on other princes, the one in front of him is a dead end!

Since he will sooner or later lead his troops to rely on others, why not choose the most powerful overlords in the world today, but instead want to surrender to other princes? It goes without saying who is the most powerful overlord in the world. I am afraid that children will know that the overlords of the world is my lord Li Li and Li Wenchang!"

"Hmph!" Cheng Yu snorted coldly: "Fengxiao, you should know that my lord and your lord Li Li are as deep as the sea, and are actually a irreconcilable enemy of life and death. Even if our lord dies, he will not bow down to Li Li. Take a step back and say that even if my lord leads his troops to surrender, how can Li Li be compatible? It will definitely harm our lord's life??????"

"Brother Zhongde is such a bad word." Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia interrupted, "My lord's mind is broad-minded. In the battle of the southern suburbs, my lord won a complete victory, but then he abandoned the power of the government and the public and took all filial piety; in the battle of Hanyang, my lord did not care about his past grudges, letting go of Ma Teng, who had been enemies of my lords and treated his family well; in the battle of Jincheng, my lord buried his great enemy Han Sui with the courtesy of a prince; under Wuguan City, my lord explained Lu Bu justice. There are countless such things. Even Situ Wang Yun, who was hit and killed at the city gate, praised my lord's grudges and was a master of grudges in the world when he died. Brother Zhongde was also a well-read man in the world. You can ask yourself, what is my lord's mind, but is that person who will be repaid without any tolerance?"

"This??? The general is indeed the heroic ruler of the world, with a broad mind and unparalleled kindness." Cheng Yu hesitated for a while, and finally said his heart.

After a brief pause, he shook his head helplessly and said, "To be honest, I respect the general very much, but these are useless to my lord. He will never bow to the general. Therefore, there is no need to say much about filial piety. If the general puts forward the condition that my lord leads his troops to surrender, then I have nothing to say, I just want to die quickly."

After saying this, Cheng Yu looked decadent and a hint of despair appeared in his eyes. He seemed to have given up the purpose of this trip and completely gave up on the secret alliance with Li Li that Cao Cao gave.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Cheng Yu was about to collapse if it continued to burn. A smile flashed across Guo Jia's eyes and then said solemnly: "Brother Zhongde, it's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you. It's really that Cao Cao repeatedly wants to kill my lord, and he has ulterior motives! Tell me, what preparations did Cao Cao make for this alliance with my master?"

"Well? What does Fengxiao mean? Could it be that you are just intimidating and there is still room for maneuver?" Cheng Yu said in surprise.

Guo Jia nodded slightly and laughed in silence, "Of course, otherwise why should I host a banquet to entertain my elder brother? Do you think the banquet just now was a dead-headed wine? Hahaha!"

Cheng Yu was surprised and happy, patted Guo Jia's arm heavily, as if he was taking the opportunity to vent. Then he did not speak out loud and said four things bluntly to show Cao Cao's sincerity in forming an alliance. The first thing was that Cao Cao recommended Sun Ce to Hedong to garrison. The second thing was that three days later, Liu Bei led 50,000 Xuzhou troops to secretly enter the Allied camp. The third thing was that one month ago, Yuan Shao sent Xin Ping, and the Xin Pi brothers brought a lot of money to persuade the other two princes to send troops to attack Xiliang with the Allied troops. The fourth thing was to present a detailed map of the Allied camp's defense.
