Chapter 326 (1/2)
When Yuan Shao dies, the large Hebei would no longer be a single entity It would also no longer be awere useless people, just like Tao Qian’s two children Otherwise Tao Qian would not have surrendered so easily In other words, Hebei was about to fall into Cao Cao’s lap Cao Cao could not help but sht of this
“Does Military Advisor Guo believe that Xu You is right?” Cao Cao laughed as Xu You turned his objective towards Guo Jia
Guo Jia was slightly distracted as he had been slacking off As a loafer, he had no regards as to where he could slack off When Xu You entered the Cao Cao’s Army, the happiest person was Cao Cao himself The second happiest person would be Guo Jia This is because there is now an additional person sharing his burdens This meant that he had more time to slack off and drink wine He never expected Xu You to now target him “Haha Mister Ziyuan Your words are reasonable” Guo Jia laughed in reply
However, Xu You refused to drop the matter He joined up with Cao Cao because there was no future with Yuan Shao Yuan Shao was furious at hi happened, he would be the first one to be looked at Naturally, he would not stay and defected to Cao Cao In the Yuan Shao’s Army, he had been a disposable piece as he refused to join Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang Both brothers would not allow this Now that he is with Cao Cao, he carried hiood friend, he should be the number one subordinate As Guo Jia was Cao Cao’s number one subordinate and the areted by Xu You “I still haveCan the Military Advisor dispel my doubts?”
“Mister Ziyuan have already done well I have nothing to add!” Guo Jia was a lazy person He was too lazy to coave Guo Jia a hard time but Guo Jia did not care He would be happy to let you have the rank and position if itYu as unable to accept Guo Jia’s slacker attitude always tried to give him trouble but would only find himself in an aard position every time
“Haha Military Advisor Guo is too kind” Xu You looked at Guo Jia with a content expression He wanted to show off to everyone, especially Cao Cao that he was better than Guo Jia He wanted Cao Cao to remove Guo Jia and then take on Guo Jia’s position
However, Xu You did not understand the current Cao Cao Cao Cao was no longer the Cao Aman that he knew but the overlord of Hebei
Xu You did not know that Guo Jia did not like to coh Xu You seemed to have placed pressure on Guo Jia on the surface, the others in the Cao Cao’s Arainst a person that doesn’t compete only made him look more repulsive Cao Cao frowned at Xu You’s performance Xu You was not like Guo Jia who could act as Cao Cao wished and also act as a friend This is because Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was lazy and not ao and show off On the other hand, Xu You was extreht by Shen Pei This also caused Xu You to defect Cao Cao acted polite but once Xu You has served his purpose, he would be edy
Xu You did not notice Cao Cao’s feelings He also treated Guo Jia’s actions as though Guo Jia had conceded defeat Now that he felt as though he was nu Guo Jia
Cao Cao then asked another question to attack Xu You’s ego “Fengxiao Have you delivered the provisions to Shouchun?” This question made Xu You stunned Shouchun was Lu Bu’s territory and Lu Bu was Cao Cao’s ive theained over two hundred thousand provisions Half of what he earned had been given away to Lu Bu He initially thought those provisions had been sent to Xudou but now he realized that he had been mistaken
“Milord! It has already been delivered!” Guo Jia replied If they were in private, Guo Jia would have replied that he had delivered the provisions a long tiave Cao Cao face which was as expected as Cao Cao’s favourite advisor
“Good This is good!” Cao Cao nodded The first thing he thought of when he obtained the provisions was Shouchun
“Aive others your provisions? On top of that, that territory belongs to Lu Bu!” Xu You was puzzled That was a lot of provisions that not everybody could just fork out “Is this the Military Advisor’s actions?” Xu You glanced at Guo Jia For no reason, Guo Jia was suddenly looked at as a spendthrift
“Haha Ziyuan You really would not know this! I did not give away these provisions without proper thought! People have already paid for the hundred thousand provision!” Cao Cao laughed as he stroked his beard
“Is it a reconciliation?” Xu You could not understand and asked
“Fengxiao Explain this to Ziyuan!” Cao Cao called out Guo Jia directly He wanted Guo Jia to bring Xu You back down, as a uy around ‘How could you show your face if you cannot even think of this?’
“Milord?” Guo Jia was stunned He looked into Cao Cao’s eyes and understood Cao Cao’s intentions After all, they had worked together for ht against Xu You Guo Jia felt as though Cheng Yu was enough He had no reason to offend Xu You and give himself more trouble However, now that Cao Cao had called him out, he had no choice but to act
“Mister Ziyuan You ht be unaware of this but when Milord said that Lu Bu had already paid for the provisions, he was talking about the battle at Guandu” Guo Jia replied as he glanced at Cao Cao His expression towards Cao Cao seemed to say ‘please spare me’ as he knew that Xu You would conorance and Guo Jia ended up re silent
“Mister Ziyuan This is what ispaid for already!” Since he was unable to retreat, then he could only push forward After all, Guo Jia also found Xu You as a disagreeable person Cheng Yu had also went against Guo Jia a lot but Cheng Yu was an old and obstinate person Despite that, Cheng Yu’s actions was for Guo Jia’s good For exa ould only worsen his condition and provided no benefits Cheng Yu wanted Guo Jia to stop drinking and live a healthier life but Guo Jia refused to change On the other hand, Xu You only thought of clih Guo Jia did not want to look for trouble, he don’t have any qual it after he was forced to
“The battle at Wuchao was half the price sent by the Lu Bu’s Are inforer calm He joined the Cao Cao’s Army and acted proudly because he believed that he had e contribution When he arrived, Cao Cao left the cas now!” Xu You then sat down and discussed with Cao Cao

“How long can be provisions last?”
“We can last for a year”
“How could there be so much more? Speak truthfully!”
“We can last for half a year”
“Do you not want to defeat Yuan Shao? Why do you not speak the truth?”
“I a with you We only have one month of provisions left”
“You have no support and no provisions This is a critical situation Right now, Yuan Shao’s Arh there are soldiers, they lack a proper defense As long as you attack Wuchao and burn their food, the Yuan Shao’s Army would be defeated within three days”1
