Chapter 1260: White brocade robe
"This subordinate understands, I will go and arrange it right away." Upon hearing this, a look of excitement immediately appeared on Strategist Pang Tong's face.
"By the way, Lord, your clothes are stained with a lot of mud; do you need to change them?" Strategist Pang Tong asked.
Gu Yi thought for a while and said: "No need, you just have someone help me make a few sets of new clothes and send them over; I will wait here."
Strategist Pang Tong nodded and then exited the camp.
Half an hour later, Strategist Pang Tong personally went to make clothes for Gu Yi.
Not long after, Strategist Pang Tong sent the clothes over and said: "Lord, these few sets of clothes are all made according to your figure; do you think they are still suitable?"
"Hmm." Gu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Not bad."
Subsequently, Gu Yi changed into these few sets of clothes and then walked out of the tent.
These few sets of clothes were all white brocade robes, with complicated patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collars, looking solemn and majestic, while jade pendants were worn on the waist, looking rich and imposing.
"Lord, looking like this, it is quite temperamental." Strategist Pang Tong looked it over and praised.
Gu Yi nodded indifferently; he was not disgusted by such attire, because it looked much better than the previous black clothes and also looked more domineering.
"Lord, should we send troops to attack now?" Strategist Pang Tong asked.
"Wait a moment; Cao Cao's speed is so fast, he must be making some preparations; wait until he is fully prepared before making a move, otherwise we will be the ones suffering." Gu Yi said.
"Then how long do we have to wait?" Strategist Pang Tong asked.
Gu Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wait another three days."
"Good, then it will be done according to the Lord's instructions." Strategist Pang Tong clasped his fists and said.
"Lord, if there are no other instructions, then this subordinate will go and get busy first." Strategist Pang Tong said, turned, and left.
Gu Yi looked at Strategist Pang Tong's back and couldn't help but fall into deep thought; he couldn't figure out what Cao Cao was trying to do.
"Could it be that he wants to build a city around Yecheng?" Gu Yi muttered to himself, and this thought arose in his heart.
Such a thought had just arisen when it was rejected by him, because Cao Cao's wisdom was far above his, and it was impossible for him not to think of this method; this possibility was almost zero.
"Could it be that he wants to attack us?" This thought popped up in Gu Yi's mind.
He thought of Cao Cao's ambition, as well as Cao Cao's strength. If it were really like this, then he would really have to consider it carefully.
Gu Yi was thinking when suddenly a messenger ran over hurriedly and said: "Reporting to the Lord, two letters have been sent."
Gu Yi's gaze fell on the letter paper in the messenger's hand, and then he took it from the messenger's hand.
"Lord, what is this?" Strategist Pang Tong asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, these are two letters of war, which say that if I, Gu Yi, dare to lead the people to surrender to Cao Cao, I will make all the people of Yecheng suffer from the plague." Gu Yi explained with a smile.
Hearing Gu Yi's explanation, Strategist Pang Tong's face immediately became extremely cold; he clenched his fists and cursed angrily: "Cao Cao! Actually dared to bully us!"
"Lord, rest assured, I will lead troops to attack Cao Cao now!" Strategist Pang Tong said, gnashing his teeth.
Gu Yi shook his head and said: "No need; if you lead troops to attack Cao Cao now, I am afraid it will just be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth; by then, I am afraid you will die very miserably."
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let Cao Cao wantonly slaughter the people of Yecheng?" Strategist Pang Tong asked indignantly.
"It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. What I need to do now is to let the families of the people of Yecheng get out of the crisis as soon as possible, at least to be able to save their lives." The corners of Gu Yi's mouth curled into a strange smile.
"However, Lord, after such a long time, our grain and grass can no longer support us." Strategist Pang Tong said worriedly.
Gu Yi waved his hand and said: "I have my own clever plan."
"Yes, Lord."
"By the way, you go down first, I want to be quiet." Gu Yi waved his hand, signaling Strategist Pang Tong to go down.
"Understood."
Strategist Pang Tong bowed and retreated.
Gu Yi looked at the letter of war in his hand, but the killing intent in his heart became more and more intense.
He did not allow anyone to hurt the people he cared about.
"Lord, how should these two letters of war be handled?" Strategist Pang Tong walked out of the camp and asked.
"Burn them." Gu Yi said coldly.
"Burn them?" Strategist Pang Tong looked at Gu Yi in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief; he completely did not expect that his Lord would make such a decision.
"Hmm." Gu Yi nodded and said.
"Lord, although these two letters of war were sent by the enemy country, they are letters of war after all; if they are burned, wouldn't it cause hostility between the two countries?" Strategist Pang Tong persuaded.
"These two letters of war were used by the enemy to anger me; if I don't burn them, how can I make them relax their vigilance?" Gu Yi said.
"However..." Strategist Pang Tong was still somewhat hesitant.
"There is no 'however', my order will not change." Gu Yi said, and then turned and walked toward the inside of the camp.
"Understood." Strategist Pang Tong responded, turned, and left.
Gu Yi sat behind the desk, picked up the pen and ink, and quickly wrote the two characters "Gu Yi" on the letter of war.
Subsequently, he put the letter of war into his arms.
"I want to see what tricks you have!" Gu Yi snorted lightly, and a look of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Outside a dilapidated small house in the south of Yecheng, many soldiers gathered, their faces full of anxiety, looking around constantly, their eyes full of expectation and worry.
In front of this small wooden house, several carriages were parked; these carriages were made of iron, very sturdy, and enough to withstand a weight of five or six thousand jin.
Many soldiers stood on the carriages; the weapons and attire of these soldiers were also very peculiar, with bows and arrows, knives, spears, swords, and halberds, all kinds of blades, all very elite.
"Lord, what is the situation?" Strategist Pang Tong asked worriedly.
He had been by Gu Yi's side for some time, but he didn't quite understand Gu Yi's temperament.
"Hehe, rest assured, nothing will happen." Gu Yi said indifferently.
He believed that with Cao Cao's wisdom, he would definitely notice that he was playing tricks, and then take measures to deal with him.
However, he was not afraid at all, but instead very much looking forward to Cao Cao's reaction.
"Lord, what do you think Cao Cao will do?" Strategist Pang Tong asked curiously.
Hearing this, Gu Yi smiled and shook his head, saying: "This depends on what choice he will make."
He did indeed guess that Cao Cao would definitely use some strategy to deal with him, but he was not afraid of Cao Cao, because he knew that Cao Cao would definitely not use his daughter to threaten him, unless his wife was also within Cao Cao's control.
"Oh." Hearing this, Strategist Pang Tong nodded as if he understood. ===== CHAPTER 1261 =====
