Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

At this time, Cao Cao had already guessed what the external force Jia Xu was talking about was.

But he couldn't say it himself, and had to ask someone else to say it for him.

So.

Cao Cao pretended to know and asked in confusion:

"Wenhe, what kind of people are you talking about as the external force?".

Jia Xu coughed dryly a few times, and hesitated to speak.

Cao Cao waved his hand and urged:

"You and I, as king and subject, naturally know everything. Just tell me."

Jia Xu took a deep breath and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the external force I am talking about is the Huns entrenched in Xihe County!"

Hearing the word "Huns", Cao Cao's body shook slightly.

Sure enough.

Everything was as he expected. The 840 outsiders Jia Xu was referring to were still Huns.

In his eyes, those were the Hu bandits that he wanted to wipe out for the Han Dynasty.

Now, they have become the savior of his Wei State in Jia Xu's mouth.

"Xihe is very close to Hedong, and the distance is enough to stop the Han army."

"Besides, although the Huns are few, they have few cavalry, and at least 40,000 cavalry can be put together."

"If these 40,000 cavalry are used properly, even if Liu Bei leads an army of 100,000 into Hedong, they can still be stopped!"

Jia Xu no longer dragged his feet and told the whole picture of his plan in one breath.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, frowned tightly, and a layer of clouds covered his face.

"Your Majesty, Jia Wenhe's words make sense."

"If the Huns can be used by me, we will be able to repel the Han army and defend Hedong."

Ma Chao did not wait for Cao Cao to speak, and he was the first to agree.

Ma Chao was born in the border area of ​​Xiliang and lived with Qiang people since he was a child. Naturally, he had no resistance to winning over the Hu people for his use.

Moreover, in his opinion, it was a natural thing.

Cao Cao still kept silent.

Ma Chao then said:

"But Wenhe, that Huochuquan is entrenched in Xihe County, but how can we make him work for your majesty and help us fight against the big-eared thief?"

Jia Xu saw that Cao Cao was silent and thought that Cao Cao had tacitly agreed to his plan.

So Jia Xu became bolder and said further:

"Huchuquan is more knowledgeable than Yu Fuluo, so he naturally understands the principle of the loss of lips and teeth."

"Your Majesty can send a lobbyist to Xihe, and he will surely persuade Huchuquan to send troops to join us in fighting against Liu Bei."

"Moreover, although the Huns occupy Xihe County, they have substance but no name."

"Your Majesty can promise to make Xihe County officially a fiefdom of the Huns, so that Huchuquan can occupy Xihe legitimately."

"With these two temptations, I think Huchu will be used by Your Majesty, obey Your Majesty's orders, and fight for our Great Wei!"

Jia Xu spoke his plan in a fluent manner.

But Cao Cao opened his eyes and said angrily:

"Jia Wenhe, I thought you would have some brilliant ideas."

"So, your so-called brilliant plan is to make me cede land to the Huns and let me bear the infamy of future generations!"

As soon as these words came out.

Jia Xu's body was shocked, and he looked at Cao Cao in panic.

Only then did he realize that his plan did not touch Cao Cao's heart, but touched Cao Cao's reverse scale.

Cao Cao still had to have some dignity.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties have only attacked the Huns and forced them to surrender. How could they take the initiative to cede land to the Huns in exchange for their help?

If Cao Cao did this, the pen of history would be like a knife, and the historians would write about him in the history books?

Cao Cao valued his reputation after his death!

He could be defeated by Liu Bei and become the king of a fallen country, but he could not accept that he would leave such an infamy in the history books.

"Your Majesty, I, I..."

Jia Xu panicked for a moment, mumbling and not knowing how to defend himself.
