In the main hall of the county government in Wuzhao City.

The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

Cao Cao sat alone in the first seat, his face gloomy, like cold iron.

At this moment, his brows revealed unspeakable anxiety and despair.

He could only drink to relieve his sorrow, pouring one cup after another into his throat, trying to calm the turbulent irritability and anxiety in his heart.

"Pah!"

With a crisp sound, the empty wine glass fell heavily on the table, and the fragments flew everywhere.

The slightly drunk Cao Cao gritted his teeth and cursed angrily:

"That damn Liu Bei, I have retreated to this point, but he is still chasing me. Is he really going to force me into a desperate situation?!"

Down the stairs.

The ministers looked at each other, all shook their heads and sighed.

The depressed mood was like an invisible haze, covering the entire hall and suffocating people.

"My dear ministers, Liu Bei is pressing me step by step, intending to put me to death. Do you have a good plan to solve this dilemma?"

Although Cao Cao was angry, he had to face the reality and turned to everyone for countermeasures.

However, the only response to him was silence.

All the generals felt helpless and at a loss.

Jia Xu and Yang Hu also looked solemn and frowned.

"Alas..."

Cao Cao sighed, his eyes full of disappointment and helplessness:

"Wenhe, when can you come up with another brilliant plan to help me out of trouble?"

"If you don't have a good plan, my Wei will be in danger..."

Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be stimulated by Cao Cao's words, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He seemed to have made up his mind.

Then, he slowly stood up and bowed to Cao Cao:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go there in person, maybe I can solve this crisis."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

He sat up straight and asked:

"Where does Wenhe want to go? What's your plan?"

Jia Xu took a deep breath and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I want to go east and reach the Xianhu territory. I am willing to use my eloquence to persuade the Xianhu people to send troops to help."

"Then we will attack from both sides and we will surely defeat Liu Bei."

Cao Cao's expression was greatly boosted, and the fire of hope rekindled in his eyes. He shouted loudly to get the map quickly.

Dian Wei responded and quickly unfolded the map on the table.

Cao Cao stood up and carefully examined every detail on the map.

After a moment,

Cao Cao suddenly slammed the table and praised:

"Wenhe's plan is very good!"

"If we can really persuade the Xianhu people to go south, we can cut off Liu Bei's retreat and kill him by surprise!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the hall were excited.

At this moment, they seemed to see the dawn of turning defeat into victory.

Xiahou Lie frowned slightly and said:

"The Xianhu people are fickle,Only seeking profit, how can we guarantee that they will send troops to help Wenhe this time? "

Cao Cao's face darkened again, and he turned his eyes to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu answered confidently:

"That's why I need to go there in person, relying on my eloquent tongue to convince the Xianhu people!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not fail my mission!" (To read the novel, go to Fly Novel Network!)

Cao Cao's eyes became firm again.

After pondering for a long time, he walked down the steps, shook Jia Xu's hand and said:

"If Wenhe succeeds, he will be the first meritorious official in rebuilding the Wei Dynasty!"

"But the journey is long and extremely dangerous, I really can't rest assured."

Jia Xu smiled generously and said:

"Your Majesty's kindness, I am deeply moved. ”

“However, the survival of Wei depends on me alone. Even if it is a sea of ​​fire and swords, I will not refuse!”

“Only if I go here, I can persuade the Xianhu people to send troops, so that I can live up to your majesty’s kindness!”

The heartfelt words moved Cao Cao deeply.

His eyes were slightly red, and he choked up:

“It is God’s blessing that my Wei can have such a loyal minister like Wenhe!”

“On behalf of my ancestors and the people of Wei, I thank you, Jia Wenhe!”

As he said this, Cao Cao actually stood up and bowed deeply to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu hurriedly returned the greeting, and said with fear and trepidation:

“Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my duty. How dare I accept such a great gift from your Majesty! ”[]

A satisfied smile appeared on Cao Cao’s face.

The haze in his heart also cleared away.

In order to persuade the Xianhu people to come to the rescue as soon as possible, Cao Cao dispatched 800 elite soldiers that night to escort Jia Xu to the Xianhu territory.

In the middle of the night, outside the north gate of Wuzhao City.

Cao Cao led the remaining civil officials and military generals of Wei to see Jia Xu off.

He personally filled a glass of wine and handed it to Jia Xu:

“Wenhe, the fate of the survival of the Wei Kingdom is in your hands!”

“Drink this glass! I wish you a safe journey!”

Jia Xu took the glass, raised it above his head, and said passionately:

“I will live up to your majesty’s high expectations!”

“I also ask your majesty to hold on and wait for help! ”

“When I return, I will lead the Xianhu cavalry to save Wei!”

The king and his minister smiled at each other, and each raised his head and drank the wine.

Then Jia Xu got on his horse, and under the gaze of the crowd, he slowly drove out of the city gate and disappeared into the vast night.

In the night.

When Jia Xu looked back at Wuzhao City, he showed a complicated expression.

He sighed in his heart:

“Cao Cao, Cao Cao, although you treat me well, it is difficult to defy fate.”

“I, Jia Xu, will never be buried with you, and I will not die under Liu Bei’s knife!”

“This departure may be the eternal farewell between you and me.”

After sighing, he no longer had any regrets,He spurred his horse and galloped into the night. .
