Chapter 289: Lobbying Guo Jia (2)
Xi Zhicai came out of Cao Cao and went to Guo Jia's again. The two were engaged when they were young, and then the world was in chaos and went their separate ways. It hasn't been seen in years. Tonight you have to talk with candles and nights, and then you can go to sleep.
The two of them put wine and food in Guo Jia's room, this is said to be all over the world, no matter how big or small, it is a little difficult to hold back when the conversation is opened. In the end, Xi Zhicai couldn't hold it anymore, and he still felt that he was not happy, so he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, come and give you something good." ”
Xi Zhicai took the bottle and poured out two pills. Guo Jiada was intrigued and asked what it was. Xi Zhicai looked triumphant and said: "This thing is something that I have flipped through Taoist classics and consulted Taoist masters to refine it. When the physical strength is insufficient or the drowsiness is getting stronger, the gods will be cheerful and the physical strength will become stronger. I followed Cao Gong to the east and west, running around, and this medicine has a great effect. ”
Guo Jia is also a weak chicken, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "There is this medicine, Zhicai, give me a taste." So they divided their food and ate it.
After taking this medicine, after a while, it was really a fever in the body, and the heart was surging, Guo Jia closed his eyes and felt it carefully, only to feel that he was in an unprecedentedly good state at this time, and he clenched his fists with both hands, eager to fight ten of them. So Guo Jia sighed: "True Immortal Fang Ye! ”
If Cao Cao knew that these two guys were secretly taking pills, he was afraid that he would be angry to death.
This night, the two chatted until the golden rooster reported the dawn, and the east was white, then they looked at each other and smiled, and fell asleep. In the next few days, Xi Zhicai took Guo Jia to run around, watching the steepness of the mountains and rivers, watching the wonders of the flowing clouds, listening to the bursts of pine waves, and thinking about the past years.
On this day, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia returned happily after visiting Lei Ze. On the way back, Xi Zhicai said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Cao Gong and Qingzhou Liu Zhijun are all extraordinary people, and they are also supernatural heroes." However, if filial piety wants to choose the two and complement it, I advise filial piety to Cao Gong. ”
Guo Jia said sincerely: "Please also ask my brother to try it for me." Jia dare not to listen to it. ”
Xi Zhicai said: "It doesn't matter what happened to Cao Gong and Liu Yuanjun. Qingzhou has many talents such as Lu Min, Cui Yan, Guoyuan, etc., and Wen Ruo has a long history and takes charge of all Cao affairs. Is Feng Xiao willing to live under everyone? Don't you hear that it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix? ”
And Liu Yuanjun has a good reputation at home, and there is a class of Confucianism in the academy. Holding the square is important, and the etiquette is the most exquisite. Wen Ruo is the same. Can you stand such constraints? ”
Yingchuan Group is also graded. Like Chen, Xun and other big families, they have a long heritage, and they have produced high-ranking officials for generations, so they talk about rules and etiquette. And like Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, etc., they are all small households, and they have few people in charge on weekdays, and most of their behaviors are not very scrupulous. As for the Hanmen, oh, at this time, the Shi clan has disdained to associate with the Hanmen. Although Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, as well as Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others were engaged for a small time, speaking of which, the relationship between Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai is better. Guo Jia's behavior, Chen Qun is very disdainful. In history, he complained to Cao Cao several times, reporting that Guo Jia was misbehaving and had no rules. Chen Qun is the founder of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
If this is the case, there will be a nine-product Zhongzheng system, and let Chen Qun come to Guo Jia to order the product. According to his family background and behavior, he still has talents, like Guo Jia, I don't know if Chen Qun will give him a middle and bottom evaluation.
"As for Cao Gong, when he was young, he was known for his chivalry, and his behavior was also known to people in my generation. and was burdened by the reputation of Fei Tinghou, and was ridiculed by the state and county scholars. It is a talent in the house, inferior to Yuan and Liu. And every time it is attached, it will be ecstatic. Cao Gong has heard that he has been filial piety for a long time, and if he returns now, Cao Gong will be demoted to welcome him. Please also be considerate of it. ”
Xi Zhicai said, Guo Jia listened. Not to mention, Xi Zhicai really knows Guo Jia. Every word was said to Guo Jia's heart. He was originally a person who was not very bound by etiquette, and when he thought of the gathering of Confucian scholars in Qingzhou, he felt a little drumming in his heart. After listening to the specific analysis of the drama Zhicai, it is right to think about it. Liu Bei already has so many talents there. At this time, I ran to hug my thighs, although I also fully believed in my own ability. But at any time, seniority always exists. So when will I be able to come out?
And Cao Cao is different here, there are only two or three strategists, and one of them is still his own little friend. Think about the personalities of Liu Bei and Cao Cao again. In comparison, well, Cao Cao is more in line with his own temperament. Look at Cao Cao when he was a teenager, oh, he was willful and chivalrous, uninhibited, and did not cultivate his conduct...... This, this is simply his best leading brother.
In Liu Bei's place, there are many rules and constraints, and it is difficult to get ahead. In Cao Cao, there are few rules and constraints, it is easy to get ahead, and the boss has the same temperament. Then what else is there to say, then choose Cao Cao.
Guo Jia made a decision, and as soon as he talked to Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai smiled: "Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo overwhelmed the Yingchuan boy when he was young, and was known as Wang Zuozhicai." You and I will be able to assist Cao Gong, and let the world see who is the real Wang Zuozhicai. ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he laughed: "Zhicai's words are exactly what I want." ”
Literati have been light on each other since ancient times. If Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are convinced of Xun Yu, it is only impossible. Even if you take it orally, you don't take it. Since this is the case, let's choose the lord and compare and compare. Look at who can be better in the end.
This night, Xi Zhicai took Guo Jia to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao was washing his feet in the room, and when he heard that Xi Zhicai brought Guo Jia to see him, he was busy inviting him in. thought to himself, this must have been Xi Zhicai who persuaded Guo Jia. In the excitement, he couldn't help himself, so he kicked over the footbath and ran out barefoot.
When Xi Zhicai and Guo Jiafang entered the inner courtyard, they saw Cao Cao in disheveled clothes and standing barefoot in front of the door. I couldn't help but be surprised. Cao Cao saw the two of them, greeted them with joy, and said: "I have to be filial, like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings, like a prince meeting a pipe." Cao Cao was overjoyed and accidentally said everything in his heart. You want to be the Duke of Qi Huan, what do you want to do?
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and Xi Zhicai's eyes intervened, how is it, Feng Xiao, Corporal Cao Gonglixian, right? Guo Jia replied with his eyes, Cao Gong treated me like this, buddy, I was so moved. I must help you.
So Guo Jia bowed and said: "Yang Zhai Guo Jia, meet the lord." Jia is a despicable person, who has a small name, and does not dare to be praised by the lord. ”
Cao Cao held Guo Jia's hands and smiled so much that the walnut lines on his face scattered: "Deserve it, you can afford it." "I didn't go to Qingzhou, no matter how much I praise you, it's not wrong.
After Cao Cao changed his clothes, he came out to meet Guo Jia and discuss the current situation. Cao Cao was deeply distressed by the current predicament. First, the north and Yuan Shao turned against each other. Then for the fat of Xuzhou, there was an estrangement with Xuande. Now it's okay, there are enemies on all sides, he just wants to make a big move and take Xuzhou in one go. He didn't dare to come out of the nest. So he asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was also unceremonious, accusing Cao Cao of strategic mistakes as soon as he came up.
"Since the collapse of the first emperor, the world has been in turmoil, and the Han family has declined. It is to divide the states and counties of the princes to defend themselves. However, Yuan Shao has been subordinate to Ji and the land, and the elite of the world is also. Northland Haoxiong, Yuan Shao first. Don't be an enemy for the time being. Jing and Yi in the south, Liangzhou in the northwest, and Guanshan are far away from the immediate concern. I look at the princes of the world, there are heroes and talents, and those who can help the world are only the lord and Liu Beier. The lord and Liu Bei are close at hand, so they can be wary of but not suitable for the time being. Otherwise, the beneficiary, Yuan Shaoye.
The lord was bewitched by Zhenrong and went south to Xuzhou, but he had no name for the imperial court, and he hated Liu Bei of Qingzhou. Although he won the second county, he met with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. This is more than worth the loss. In my opinion, it is better to abandon the land of Xuzhou. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked: "Fengxiao, it is not easy for me to expand the land in Yanzhou, and the two counties of Xuzhou can not be abandoned lightly." ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord, Yuan Shu was rebellious, ignored the orders of the imperial court, led troops to capture Yangzhou, and ordered Sun Jian to chase Yu Prefecture to assassinate Shi Zhou Qiao. Such a kingless and fatherless person, the lord might as well ask Luoyang to raise troops to attack him. This is the great righteousness of the world. In this way, it is not only in line with Yuan Shao's intentions, but also can ease Qingzhou. And the land of the Central Plains of Yuzhou is fertile not less than Jizhou. If Yuzhou is the foundation, and then Tuntian Fumin, train soldiers, recruit heroes, and wait for the world to change, the lord can attack Yuan Shao to the north, and Liu Biao can be attacked to the south. In this way, great things can be accomplished. ”
Cao Cao was moved when he heard it. Yuzhou is a good place, but now it is occupied by Yuan Shu's power Sun Jian. Yuan Shu sneaked up on Yanzhou, and he had already turned his face with him. And the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are also the same belly. If he asked Luoyang to fight Yuzhou, Yuan Shao would definitely be willing to watch the excitement on the side. With the permission of the imperial court, he has a reason to send troops. At that time, if Yuzhou is defeated, what if the second county of Xuzhou is ceded to Xuande.
occupies the righteous name of the imperial court to fight Yuzhou, which can not only gain practical benefits but also give himself anger. This is long overdue. Why did you listen to Zhenrong's trip to Xuzhou? Confused. Thinking about it, running so far to Xuzhou is also fighting with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, so it is better to fight Sun Jian at the door of his own house. How convenient.
As soon as Cao Cao thought about it, he looked at Guo Jia again, and his eyes were full of appreciation. Sure enough, it's a great talent. History finally returned to its track, and Cao Cao still decided to win Yanzhou and fight Yuzhou first, as recorded in history. So Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "What about Xuzhou?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: The food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it, the lord can talk slowly with Qingzhou Liu Yuanjun. ”
In August, it rained heavily for several days. Drought relief. In September, Cao Cao collected all the military rations in Tuntian. So the table Luoyang. Yan Yuanshu despised the imperial court and seized Yang and Yu for no reason. Cao Cao is not talented, and he is willing to share the worries of the imperial court and invite troops to attack Yuzhou. to chase out the false officials, determine the name, and appease the people. Yuan Shaolu was still in charge of the government. Luoyang took a look at it and forwarded Cao Cao's recital to Jizhou. Yuan Shao glanced at it and smiled coldly, Cao Cao, don't you just want to find an excuse to fight Yuzhou. Anyway, Yuzhou is not mine, you can call it. It's better to knock out all the brains and die together.
So Yuan Shao waved his pen. That's right.
Cao Cao sent a letter to Liu Bei to complain, saying that at that time, Zhenrong said that there was a change in Xuzhou, and I was worried that I had not succeeded in killing my father's enemy, so I hurried south to Xuzhou. As a result, when I got there, I learned that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian had long intended to let Xuande you lead Xuzhou, but it was difficult to ride a tiger at that time, and the soldiers were eager to make meritorious contributions, so they couldn't disobey it at will. Now that I have captured those thief chieftains, the blood revenge has been avenged, and the soldiers are planning to return to Yanzhou. Since the people of Xuzhou are looking forward to Xuande, then let Langya and Guangling be given to Xuande. Hopefully, we can renew our old friendships and not let a little thing affect our feelings.
