Chapter 6
Cao Jian and Guo Jia are two first-rate wise men of the time.
One has a system to support him, which makes his intelligence first-rate, and he also has the vision of a time traveler; the other is a top strategist with numerous ingenious ideas and is known as a"genius"!
After brainstorming and discussing, the two soon came up with a plan to quickly capture Xuzhou!
So, they came to the general camp at night to discuss with the commander-in-chief Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun was instantly interested when he heard it: he quickly called the deputy commander Xiahou Yuan, as well as the two generals Xu Huang and Li Dian who followed the army.
Everyone held an emergency military meeting at night.
Xiahou Dun was impatient, and when he saw everyone was there, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Military Advisor, what clever plan do you have to quickly capture Xuzhou? Please tell me quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals immediately turned their eyes to Guo Jia, waiting to listen attentively!
Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled faintly and pointed at Cao Jian beside him and said:
"Generals! To be honest, this plan was mainly proposed by the Second Young Master!
I am just assisting and making some improvements."
"Therefore, it is more appropriate for the second son to speak.……"
As soon as these words came out, the generals were instantly filled with questions: ???
Undoubtedly, everyone present doubted the ability of Cao Jian, a famous playboy!
Xiahou Dun, who was impatient, couldn't help but question it on the spot:
"Military advisor, military affairs are no joke, please stop teasing me!"
"Although the Second Young Master has reformed and is positive now, I have watched him grow up since he was a child. Don't I know how smart he is? Even if the military advisor does not care about personal gains and losses and intends to give credit to the Second Young Master, it is not the right way to give credit.……"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan, a rough man, quickly joined in:
"Big brother is right! Even if the second son wants to make a contribution, he doesn't have to rush this time!
Besides, Lu Bu is a tough guy to deal with. The military advisor must not lose sight of the big picture and miss the big picture.……"
After hearing this, Cao Jian couldn't help but smile awkwardly:
"Uncle Xiahou, you don't seem to have much confidence in me?
How about... you, the military advisor, speak for me?"
Seeing this, Guo Jia waved his hand quickly:
"Second Young Master, please don't embarrass me!"
"If I were to say so, that would be considered stealing the credit.……"
After that, he explained to the generals in a serious tone:
"Generals, don't let rumors and appearances blind you!
You don't really think that the Second Young Master is going to the battle with the army just to gain military merits under the name of the army, as the rumors say?
If that's the case, then it's a big mistake!"
"To be honest, the Second Young Master has always been hiding his talent before!
His real talent is truly first-class in the world, sometimes even I feel inferior to him!"
"Not only that, before this expedition, the Lord and several wise men such as Xun Lingjun, Gongda, Zhongde, etc., personally examined the Second Young Master's talents and highly praised him! If you don't believe it, you can ask the parties involved for confirmation in the future.……"
As soon as these words came out,
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, two straightforward people, believed it immediately!
Li Dian and Xu Huang were still half-believing and half-doubting.
After a short silence,
Li Dian, the General of the Central Army, could not help but frowned, but finally he mustered up the courage to test it:
""I am ignorant, but I smell alcohol on the military advisor.
So I have the audacity to ask, was what the military advisor just said drunken talk?"
Guo Jia did not rush to refute after hearing this, but winked at Cao Jian with a smile: it was obvious that he intended to let Cao Jian take the lead, so as to take this opportunity to subdue several powerful generals in Cao's camp, so as to gradually establish his own prestige in the future.
Cao Jian naturally understood what he meant, and immediately looked towards Li Dian: what appeared in his eyes was a young Confucian general with a handsome appearance, who was rarely seen in the entire Cao camp.
"Is this Li Dian? He is really young and promising!
He is young, about my age, but he is already a high-ranking general...
If I remember correctly, this guy has always been superior to Le Jin in both identity and status in the official history and novels of later generations.
If he had not died early and had not fully grown up, I am afraid that the fifth son of the good general would have become the sixth son, and even ranked higher than Le Jin.……"
Muttering to himself, Cao Jian quickly reviewed his memory and then smiled meaningfully:
"General Mancheng, you are worrying too much!
Although Military Advisor Guo is a wine lover, he never lets alcohol interfere with his work, and everyone knows it.
This time he just drank a few sips as usual, and he was not drunk, so he was not talking drunkenly.
Let's take a step back, if he was really drunk?
Then this time, the plan to quickly take Xuzhou should not be initiated by him, right?"
Li Dian was stunned when he heard it, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Second Master, what you said makes sense! It is true that I was overthinking.……"
Deputy General Xu Huang, who was watching silently from the side, nodded secretly: this future famous general, who was rigorous in conduct and military management, brave and resourceful, and was called"having the style of Zhou Yafu", and was also listed as one of the"Five Elite Generals" in later generations, had obviously heard Cao Jian's extraordinaryness from the few words just now.
"The second son talked and laughed freely, and with just a few words, he dispelled General Mancheng's doubts. He was even praised by the military advisor, which showed that he had real talent and knowledge.
Just from this point of view, he didn't look like an ignorant and unlearned dude at all!
It seems that the rumors from the outside world are really biased!
Let's listen to his plan.……"
After secretly criticizing in his heart, the original suspicious look on Xu Huang's face was swept away in an instant: in an instant, there was more curiosity and expectation in his eyes when he looked at Cao Jian.
In addition to the two of them.
The Xianzhen Captain Le Jin, who was now temporarily acting as Cao Jian's close bodyguard, followed behind silently and took in the reactions of the generals.
Seeing the changes in everyone's reactions in that short moment, he became more certain of his original guess:
"This second young master is really not simple……"
