"promise!"

Subsequently, Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia, Xun You, and Jia Xu.

After explaining the whole story to the three men, he asked, "What do you think about trying to persuade Huang Gai to surrender?"

After Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao, Jia Xu became one of Cao Cao's strategists.

However, he continued to lurk at the very back as always, and he would not utter a single word unless Cao Cao called him by name.

Xun You was Xun Yu's uncle, but he was younger than Xun Yu.

"My lord, I believe that if the news is true, we can make use of this," Xun You said softly.

Xun You agreed with Cao Cao's proposal to persuade Huang Gai to surrender.

"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Cao Cao then turned his gaze to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia frowned slightly. Although Cao Cao's plan was tempting, he always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

He thought for a moment and said, "My lord, we should not rush into the matter of offering surrender. Let's ascertain the truth first!"

"What if this is Zhou Yu's scheme?"

Zhou Yu's plan? The price was too high, eighty lashes! Even Xu Chu couldn't withstand that, let alone Huang Gai. One wrong move and Huang Gai could be beaten to death.

"I've already considered Fengxiao's concerns. If Huang Gai immediately agrees to this surrender offer, then there must be a trap involved!"

"After all, he was a military general during Sun Jian's time, and he had served three generations of the Sun family. How could he betray them so easily?"

Guo Jia pondered Cao Cao's words and found them to make some sense.

"My lord is wise!" Guo Jia said, bowing.

Xun You and Guo Jia both agreed with Cao Cao's plan at this time.

Cao Cao then looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, do you have a different opinion?"
