    "New method of transmitting information?" Cao Cao asked in confusion after listening to Jia Xu's words.

    Since ancient times, intelligence has been transmitted by scouts and Pegasus. Apart from this, I really can¡¯t think of any other new methods.

    "My lord, Liu Bao used the method of filling the city with sand to attack Maling City in a large scale. Even if Liu Cong, the king of Han, thought of the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao at that time, it would take at least three days to give the order to Zhang Xiu in Liucheng, and Zhang Xiu  Even if Tongwan City was captured quickly, it would probably take about ten days for the news to reach Liu Bao's camp outside Maling City! However, all this only took five days!"

    "Could it be that Liu Cong had already given orders to Zhang Xiu during the confrontation between the two sides?" Cao Cao thought for a while and asked.

    "My subordinates have also thought about it, but think it is absolutely impossible!" Jia Xu categorically rejected, "During the confrontation between the two sides, the King of Han had the advantage. Maling, Yiqu, and Fuxian were in the horns, and Liu Bao was very passive.  If Zhang Xiu were to launch a surprise attack on Tongwan City at this time, it would be unnecessary and superfluous, and it would be easy for Liu Bao to take advantage of him!"

    "Oh" Cao Cao nodded after hearing this.

    "My lord, my subordinates have thought before that the Han army might have a new method of transmitting information very quickly. Whether it was Zhang Xiu's hijacking camp or Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu's ambush, the timing was very accurate.  It is difficult to do this by just relying on scouts to find out the information. After Zhang Xiu raided Tongwan City, my subordinates can be sure."

    "Then what method does Wen He think it is?"

    "This subordinate is not clear yet, but the ghost soldiers are already investigating, and I believe they will find out soon." Jia Xu said this and saluted Cao Cao, "My lord, the situation in the world has changed, and the King of Han alone  Strong, we and Sun Quan are both weak!"

    ??For a long time, Cao Cao has unified the north, and everyone thinks that he is the best prince in the world.  After Liu Cong's rise, his strength gradually increased, especially after he captured Yizhou. Many people believed that Liu Cong had surpassed Cao Cao.

    But the officials in Yecheng would not admit it, and neither would Cao Cao.

    If it were Jia Xu in the past, he would never say such a thing.  However, during this period of time, Cao Cao had increased his trust in Jia Xu, which moved Jia Xu very much, so he took the initiative to speak out.

    After hearing what Jia Xu said, Cao Cao did not speak, and Jia Xu also remained silent.

    "Wen Hecheng won't deceive me!" After a long time, Cao Cao said feebly.

    "My lord, divide the world into three parts and stand as a tripod. We should form a true alliance with Sun Quan!"

    "A true alliance?" Cao Cao was a little confused. They had made several alliances with Sun Quan. They didn't understand what Jia Xu meant by a true alliance. "Wen He, how do you say this?"

    "My lord, please report to Your Majesty to make Sun Quan King of Wu!"

    "Promote Sun Quan as King of Wu?" Cao Cao's face darkened after hearing Jia Xu's words.

    The royal family of the Han Dynasty once had an ancestral motto that people with foreign surnames could not be crowned kings.  He can be named the King of Wei because he has the merits of rescuing and quelling the chaos. He is the Prime Minister and the Duke of Wei.  Even so, there were many obstacles to conferring the title of King of Wei at that time.

    Xun Yu, that is your own ovary!  Even because of the matter of being crowned king, he separated from himself and eventually died of illness. Xun You could not let go and died in depression.

    Sun Quan is so virtuous and capable. He just inherited his father's and brother's inheritance and led Jiangdong. Why can he be crowned king?

    However, Cao Cao also understood what Jia Xu meant. Since he wanted to truly form an alliance with Sun Quan, he must have equal status.

    There is a huge gap between the Marquis of Wu and the King of Wei.  Without equal status, Sun Quan would not be of the same mind as him. Just like the previous times, it is faster to make alliances and even faster to betray them.

    "I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow to make Sun Quan the King of Wu!" After a moment, Cao Cao said in a very firm tone.

    "Thank you, lord!" Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Cao Cao said. He knew that this decision was not easy for Cao Cao. "My lord, if you have such a big heart, your hegemony will surely succeed!"

    In fact, reporting to Your Majesty is just a procedure. Generally, Cao Cao asks Chen Qun to draft the edict and then go to the palace to stamp it with a jade seal.

    "Who does Wen He think we should send to Jiangdong?"

    "Sima Yi can do it!"

    "Okay!" Cao Cao nodded. In fact, he also thought Sima Yi was suitable. "Wen He will go to Sima's house and ask Zhongda to prepare for his early mission to Jiangdong!"

    "No!"

    Cao Cao only had to give an order to send Sima Yi as an envoy to Jiangdong. Cao Cao had deep intentions in sending Jia Xu to Sima's mansion.

    Sima Yi¡¯s talents were increasingly recognized by Cao Cao.  But this person was too deep and the city was too deep, which made Cao Cao unhappy.  In addition, the previous dream about "three horses in the same trough", so that Cao Cao could not completely trust Sima Yi.  Therefore, Cao Cao wanted Jia Xu to have more contact with Sima Yi, while also guarding against Sima Yi.

    When Jia Xu came to Sima's mansion, Sima Yi was a little flustered and hurriedly welcomed him into the hall.

    "The military advisor is here, and I hope you won't be surprised if your subordinates are unable to welcome you from afar!" After the guests and hosts were seated, Sima Yi saluted Jia Xu.

    "Zhongda doesn't have to be polite!" Jia Xu waved his hand.

    "The military advisor came to my house, what's the important matter?" Jia Xu never interacted with dignitaries and other officials. His eldest son Jia Mu also served in the local government, and his daughters were all married to ordinary families.  Coming to Sima Yi's house today really surprised Sima Yi.

    "Zhongda, Liu Bao's plan to fill the city with sand should be yours, right?" Jia Xu looked at Sima Yi and asked.

    "If the military advisor asks, it is my gift. If the lord asks, no!"

    "Why?"

    "You can't hide it from the military advisor, and there is no need to hide it. My lord wants to do it, but he can't!"

    "ha¡­¡­"

    Jia Xu and Sima Yi laughed almost at the same time.

    "Liu Bao filled the city with sand and was defeated. He was really incompetent!" Sima Yi looked a little disappointed, "After this battle, the prestige of Han King Liu Cong has greatly increased, which is not good for the lord!"

    "It's not that Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, is incompetent, but that the Han army is too strong!" Jia Xu shook his head, "We cannot estimate the strength of the King of Han!"

    ¡°According to the military advisor, could it be that my lord wants to truly form an alliance with Jiangdong?¡± Sima Yi looked at Jia Xu and asked.

    "good!"

    "But will I be the envoy to Wu Commandery?"

    "right!"

    "How sincere is your lord?"

    "My lord has informed His Majesty that Sun Quan should be crowned King of Wu!"

    "Promote Sun Quan as King of Wu?" Sima Yi was obviously taken aback, but he immediately calmed down, "My lord, your sincerity is enough, this matter will definitely be accomplished, and I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

    "That's very good!" Jia Xu stood up and said, "Your Majesty's decree to confer Sun Quan as King of Wu will arrive tomorrow, and Zhongda will leave for Jiangdong immediately."

    "I understand!"

    "Zhongda's talents are above mine, but he is not in a high position. After this incident, I will report to the lord and put Zhongda in high regard!" Jia Xu said when leaving Sima Mansion.

    "The military advisor is so complimentary!" Sima Yi bowed deeply to Jia Xu, "I would like to thank the military advisor!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
