Chapter 167 The way of the saints, in hiding and hiding
Chapter 167: The saint’s control of the Tao lies in concealment and concealment
Everyone is happy.
Zhang Xiu surrendered, really surrendered. Even though he and Cao Cao had a lot of grievances before, this time, whether it was a coincidence or Yi Xiaotian's plan, the two sides completely abandoned their prejudices and became one.
Brothers of the trenches.
Cao Cao was also very interesting. Regardless of the past grievances, he made Zhang Xiu General Yangwu and let his son Cao Jun marry Zhang Xiu's daughter.
As for him, he got the beauty back as he wished, and took Zhang Xiu's aunt Mrs. Zou as a concubine, which was just and legitimate.
At this time, let us feel sorry for Zhang Ji who has been laid to rest for a few seconds!
…
Xu Ducheng, Sikong Mansion.
"Commander, it's your turn." Cao Cao and Jia Xu were playing chess.
Go, a game passed down from the Yao and Shun eras, seems to be very good at cultivating people's concentration and calming down their minds.
However, when Jia Xu and Cao Cao were playing chess, they were a little absent-minded.
"My lord." Jia Xu couldn't help but ask. "Who is the master you mentioned before? Why is it that when I look at Cao Ying's counselors, they don't seem to be alike. They are all too decent. Young Master.
A touch of poisonousness!"
Damn it, Jia Xu is thinking about Yi Xiaotian.
"Jia Laodu, Jia Laodu...you are quite cunning." Cao Cao said with a smile...
After a period of contact, he and Jia Xu became familiar with each other, and the two often joked together.
Seeing that Jia Xu still looked eager, Cao Cao smiled and raised his hand. "Wen He, let me ask you a question first. If you answer me, I will take you to meet this expert."
Well…
Jia Xu rolled his eyes. "Cao Sikong, it's okay to ask!"
"Wen He, in the past you left Li Jue and Guo Si went to fellow countryman Duan Xuan. I can understand this. But after you left Duan Xuan, you went to Zhang Xiu. Doesn't this sound like you were taking advantage of Zhang Xiu and using him as a springboard?
?”
Cao Cao put his mouth close to Jia Xu's ear and lowered his voice further. "Actually, according to your plan, you made up your mind early on to defect to me, Cao Cao, right?"
After saying these words, Cao Cao's eyes shone with light, a light of confidence, as if Cao Cao had completely seen through him.
call out…
Jia Xu shivered all over, this...
Jia Xu stayed behind the curtain, looking at the changes in the current situation, how could he not see that Cao Cao was the one truly worth defecting to.
After leaving Duan Xuan, he immediately thought of defecting to Cao Cao directly.
However, Cao Cao's group of advisers has taken shape. It is a think tank dominated by talented people from Yingchuan. Cao Cao deeply trusts him. Even if Jia Xu defected to him, it would be difficult for him to stand out...
Then, there is only one other way left to become a trusted advisor to Cao Cao—detour!
Yes, it means defecting to Zhang Xiu, using Zhang Xiu as a springboard to severely beat Cao Cao, and finally surrendering to Cao Cao...
Jia Xu knows that Cao Cao loves and cherishes talents. As long as Jia Xu beats Cao Cao hard enough, he will gain more respect from Cao Cao after he surrenders in the future.
His abacus was very good, but it was a pity that he missed one person, an expert with amazing insight and unparalleled intelligence around Cao Cao.
Huh... Jia Xu exhaled a long breath.
As if his thoughts were read, he suddenly became nervous.
But soon, his heart became calm again, as if he had figured out what was going on here. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked curiously.
"Cao Sikong, the one who can see through my Jia Xu's plan is probably this master again, right?"
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed. "Don't be nervous, military advisor. Even if the master you talk about has seen through you and figured you out, his words show his recognition of you. He appreciates you!"
At this point, Cao Cao paused and spoke firmly. "As long as it is a talent that he admires, I, Cao Cao, will definitely use it..."
Huo...Jia Xu suddenly felt a feeling of being flattered.
It is unfortunate to be seen through by such an expert, but it is lucky to be recognized and appreciated by such an expert... Jia Xu is still a little proud. How could he have thought that he would use such a failed method?
Join Cao Cao's innermost circle of advisers!
"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Jia Xu, have been behind the scenes all my life, controlling the world, but every step I take is predicted by others and has insight in advance... It's really ironic."
Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head, and he even sighed. "Cao Sikong, this master is really unfathomable!"
"Hahaha…"
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed again. "Wen He, your evaluation of him coincides with mine." At this point, Cao Cao stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, "He is just unfathomable!"
Let’s talk like this…
Jia Xu suddenly became more interested in Yi Xiaotian.
"Cao Sikong..." Jia Xu also stood up. "You just said that you would take me to meet this master...Cao Sikong will not go back on his promise."
Jia Xu defeated Cao Cao...
"Wen He, no wonder everyone calls you Jia Laodu, your mouth and thoughts are very poisonous!" Cao Cao replied with a smile.
All said and done, Jia Xu's arrival brought some changes to his camp.
For example, most of the plans and deployments of the Yingchuan counselor circle headed by Xun Yu were too upright.
Jia Xu's joining just adds a bit of evil...
Not to mention, sometimes, some things are really difficult to handle openly, and it can be done in no time with a little conspiracy.
Coupled with Yi Xiaotian's praise of Jia Xu, Cao Cao still valued and trusted Jia Xu.
"Wenhe..."
After finishing the joke, Cao Cao's tone became serious. "There's nothing wrong with taking you to see him, but we have to make an agreement in advance!"
Ah...three chapters of agreement? Cao Cao meets someone? Does it need to be so formal?
Jia Xu was slightly stunned. The more Cao Cao said this, the more he felt that this person was mysterious and unpredictable...
"Cao Sikong just says it's okay..." Jia Xu raised his hands and listened attentively.
"The first one to bear the brunt..." Cao Cao's tone also became meticulous. "It's just that we can't reveal our identity...Brother Yi still doesn't know that I am Cao Cao!"
Wow…
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Jia Xu was completely confused.
I'm sorry, this expert doesn't know Cao Cao's identity yet? This... this feels a bit too worldly!
But you can understand it if you think about it carefully.
The way of a saint lies in hiding, hiding in the wilderness, hiding in the city, hiding in the court... Maybe this is really a legendary hermit.
Jia Xu was still thinking carefully when Cao Cao's voice came one after another.
"His surname is Yi, and his courtesy name is Xiaotian. He is the owner of Youjian Villa outside the city... I call him Brother Yi, and he calls me Brother Hao. He only thinks that I am a merchant and a counselor that Cao Cao values, so he
Talk to me. As for Wen and you, we have to change our names and identities!"
Hmm, change your name, change your identity?
…Jia Xu’s expression paused slightly.
Then, he opened his mouth and showed a slight smile.
This is so cool. He is originally a charlatan, a big liar who can win over everyone with just one mouth. There is no need to assume an identity, he is simply acting in his true colors!
