The world is not only Qingzhou Liu Bei suffered from disasters. Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou...... Except for the south, which is a little better, the other states are full of mourning.

In view of the severity of the drought, the major warlords also quit their troops and returned to their own turf to deal with internal affairs. When Sun Jian returned to Yuzhou, he had a big fight with the traitors, and although the rebels were forced to land, the entire Yuzhou still exuded a restless atmosphere. Just when Sun Jian was soothing and working hard to stabilize Yuzhou. Guo Jia chose an auspicious day and went on a long trip.

Yanzhou and Qingzhou are next to each other, and the two state pastors have his old people around them. It was because Guo Jia was in a relaxed mood when he went out. To the north and west of Yingchuan is Luoyang, and to the north and east is Yanzhou Chenliu. Within a few days, Guo Jia arrived at Cao Cao's territory.

Since Cao Cao arrived in Yanzhou, because there was no bloody case in Bianrang, Chen Gong and others still assisted with all their hearts. Cao Cao also trusted Chen Gong very much. Treat it like the heart. Just like Lu Bu's wife said in history, Cao Gong treats the public platform like a child. Chen Gong was grateful to Cao Cao for his kindness, and tried his best to win over the Yanzhou scholars.

Why did Cao Cao want to kill Bian Rang, because there was a bad habit in the late Han Dynasty that was to evaluate characters, and the Xu Jing brothers had a Yuedan evaluation in Luoyang, and once they were praised by the Xu brothers, the scholars were a hundred times more expensive. And Bian Rang likes to participate in all kinds of tastings. He became famous at a young age, wrote well, and was especially good at debating. Therefore, every time there is a symposium with a character tasting, he will not miss it as long as he has time. Historically, Bian Rang resigned from his official position, and after returning to his hometown from Jiujiang to live in seclusion, he still couldn't change the problem of good talking. He is famous, and Yanzhou scholars also like to run to him. Once, it may have been too drunk, and Bian Rang said how Cao Cao was in the middle of the banquet, probably saying that after he was a eunuch, he was not worthy of herding Yanzhou Yunyun. Originally, it was also a drunken chat, and the people did not raise officials and did not hold them accountable, but as a result, someone went to tell the truth. Cao Cao listened, where can I stand this anger, Lao Tzu finally sat down in Yanzhou, but if you don't help, forget it, and still add chaos below to shake my foundation. So in a fit of anger, he directly let people give up the side to the slaughter. Chen Gong had a deep friendship with Bian Rang and others, and seeing Cao Cao being so cold-blooded and ruthless, he was also frightened, for fear that one day he would say something wrong and follow in Bian Rang's footsteps, so he plotted to rebel. It can be said that Bian let this broken mouth kill many people.

Now he is running to Qingzhou, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the prosperity and stability of Yanzhou. Without Bian Rang, this person was in Yanzhou, and although others often got together, no one was as bold as Bian Rang to personally attack Cao Cao, the ruler of Yanzhou. Cao Cao naturally wouldn't be mad.

Chen Gong thought about Cao Cao wholeheartedly, so he successively recommended Shanyang Li Gan, Yangping Lejin, Donga Chengyu and others to Cao Cao. These people are all local natives of Yanzhou, and they either have strong families, know how to fight, or have the talent to manage peace. Li Gan may be little known, but he has a nephew, who is the famous Li Dian Li Mancheng. Le Jin, needless to say, was one of the five good generals later. Cheng Yu, Chen Gong's evaluation is a genius in the world.

Cao Cao tried them one by one, and sure enough, they were all talents that he was in short supply. As a result, I liked Chen Palace more and more. Before Bao Xin died, Cao Cao won the Taishan army, and there was also a good man in the Taishan army, that is, Yu Ban. Now Cao Cao's command is full of talents, and it is not prosperous.

On this day, Cao Cao sat down with everyone and said: "Since I got Yanzhou, thanks to the concerted efforts of all the secretaries, we have today's atmosphere. This year's autumn inspection is approaching, and I hope that the secretaries will strictly examine the counties and counties, and if there are lawbreakers or negligent politicians, they will all be dismissed. At that time, there will be vacancies in the counties and counties, and the secretaries can recommend more talents, and after the autumn inspection, they will be filled in the Quartet. ”

And they were called yes. Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "All recommended by the public platform are great talents." You and Ying live in the world, and there are many strange people, why don't you recommend them for me? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The people of Yingchuan, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Chun Yuqiong have returned to Yuan Shao. Zhong Yu was far away in Chang'an, Xun Yu was in Qingzhou, and Xu Shu and Sima Hui were far away from Jingzhou. Xun You, Guo Jia, Chen Qun and others are nowhere to be found. A certain has been told to the lord before, and the lord has also arranged for the sergeant to visit. As for the others, they are all busy people, and they are not enough to alarm the lord. ”

Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others were also at the table, and they had long heard that Yingchuan was full of talents. Now that I heard Xi Zhicai break my fingers and count, I know that Yingchuan people are terrible. It's all over the world, and it's all mixed well. Yuan Shao won't talk about it, Xin commented that Guo Tu is an important strategist, and Chun Yuqiong is a general with troops. Xun Yu is in Qingzhou and is Liu Bei's mastermind. Xi Zhicai is in Yanzhou, and his status is also extraordinary, and he is on the same list as himself and others. There is also Zhong Xuan, who has heard his name many times, and he is a long-standing, stable and good book. It is also a first-class character. Now it has fallen into Chang'an, and he is driving in front of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an.

Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others thought, if they can get these people together and sweep the world, why is it difficult? When I think of the highlights, I can't help but be fascinated and can't help myself. So they spoke one after another, asking Cao Cao to increase his efforts to find Xun You, Guo Jia, Chen Qun and others. Cao Cao naturally would not refuse this kind of thing, so he happily agreed to it.

So Guo Jiafang came out of Chen Liu, and it was a tragedy. When he arrived at Dingtao, he found that the soldiers at the city gate paid special attention to the soldiers who traveled far away with their swords. When collecting the gate tax, you must also register your name and place of origin. Guo Jia didn't know what this meant. In fact, this is a stupid method that Cao Cao's subordinates came up with. The lord doesn't want to find someone, those outside Yanzhou can only resign themselves to fate, but the work in Yanzhou must be done well, meticulously and solidly, and a fish that slips through the net cannot be missed.

As a result, each city has a list of celebrities and gentlemen, which are memorized by the guards and the city gate captains. If someone passes by, as long as they register their name and place of origin, they will know whether this person is the person the lord needs to find.

Guo Jia also planned to travel to Qingzhou, meet Liu Bei first, and come back to see Cao Cao on the return trip. As a result, as soon as Chen Liu, he was found in Dingtao, Jiyin County.

He was at the gate of Dingtao City, waiting to enter the city, and the sergeant threw the pen and paper over without saying a word and asked Guo Jia to fill it in. Guo Jia asked suspiciously: "Why is this so?" ”

The sergeant said: "This Yanzhou New Deal is aimed at tracking down the outlaws. ”

Guo Jia didn't think much about it, the eldest husband didn't change his name or change his surname, and he was not a criminal, so he wrote his name on it.

The sergeant looked at it, then took out a booklet from Huaichen, flipped through it, was overjoyed, and exclaimed, "I've caught one, I've caught one." ”

Hearing the sound, a group of people appeared in the cave of the city gate, and the person at the head was the captain of the city gate. With a pair of leopard eyes puffed out, a smile on his face, and he shouted, "Where! ”

The sergeant pointed his hand at Guo Jia, and a group of people surrounded Guo Jia. bluffed Guo Jia back, pulled out the sword in his waist, pulled out a sword flower, and said: "A certain person is a law-abiding person, and he has no evil deeds, so don't catch the wrong person." ”

The city gate captain glanced at the roster with a smile, stepped forward and sang a big promise to Guo Jia, and said, "But Mr. Yingchuan Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao?" ”

Guo Jia saw that this person was like this, and it didn't seem like he had malicious intentions towards himself, so he felt a little relieved, and said, "So-and-so." ”

When the city gate captain heard Guo Jia's confirmation, he was overjoyed, and this time he could make a great contribution. So he said: "By the order of the lord, the villain has been waiting for Mr. here for a long time. Please come with me into the city. ”

Guo Jia was confused, and while following the city gate captain into the city, he kept asking, and under the description of the city gate captain, Guo Jia finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that his friend Xi Zhicai recommended himself to Cao Cao. Cao Cao repeatedly searched for himself, so he sent people to search for him everywhere in the world, and at the same time, he also set up directories in various cities in Yanzhou, so as not to miss himself.

Before he saw Cao Cao, Guo Jia was a little moved in his heart. Then entered Dingtao, Jiyin Taishou, Dingtao Ling came to visit. He also asked Guo Jia to stay here with good food and drink, saying that he had reported to the pastoral mansion and that Cao Gong would arrive soon. Guo Jiasheng was embarrassed, so he extinguished the idea of traveling north, thinking that he would stay here and see Cao Cao first. My friend Xi Zhicai hasn't seen him for many years, so I don't know if he's okay.

Cao Cao was in Changyi, and when he heard that Guo Jia was in Dingtao, he was overjoyed, so he brought Xi Zhi to see Guo Jia. When the two met, they chatted for a while, and felt that the first impression of each other was quite good. So Cao Cao couldn't wait, and immediately said to Guo Jia: "I have the ambition to help the world, and I often hate myself for not being able to catch it." Today's turmoil, the people are scattered, I heard that the name of filial piety has been here for a long time, and now I sincerely come here, and please give advice to filial piety. ”

Guo Jia just smiled and said nothing. Cao Cao is such a ghost and elf person, when he thinks about it, Guo Jia may not be looking for himself. Going north, not looking for himself, Guo Jia gave up Yuan Shao early, so who else besides Liu Bei can't go to Gongsun Zhan, right? Cao Cao couldn't bear to be anxious, didn't say much, and only listened to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai talk about parting.

After Cao Cao said goodbye to Guo Jia, he hurriedly took Xi Zhicai to his residence, and sighed: "Zhicai, Zhicai, filial piety does not belong to me, how is it good!" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Don't panic, the lord didn't panic, Feng Xiao originally intended to go to Qingzhou to see Liu Yuanjun first, and then come to Yanzhou to meet the lord." But with me here, no matter what, I must say that I have to vote for filial piety, and I am willing to enter the owner's pocket. ”

Cao Cao's heart was relieved and he smiled: "That's good, that's good." "Even if you can't use it for me, you can't go to Liu Xuande in Qingzhou.

Xi Zhicai said again: "The minister is sure to persuade Feng Xiao, and when the time comes, I hope that the lord will not blame Feng Xiao for his northward trip." ”

In today's chaotic world, the lord chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the lord, this truth, Cao Cao naturally understands, where there is blame. So he hurriedly agreed. After sending Xi Zhicai away, Cao Cao was chattering in his heart again, not knowing when Zhicai would be able to convince Guo Jia.

Under Cao Cao, there are many generals, such as Xiahou Dun Xiahou Yuan brothers, Cao Ren Cao Hong brothers, Yu Ban, Le Jin, etc., all of which are temporary choices. In terms of civil affairs, Mao Jue is the one who deals with internal affairs. Those who can lead the army to entrust the town of a state with great things are Chen Palace. But the real planners are only Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, in addition to these four who are considered to be outstanding, in terms of Wenchen, Cao Cao is really short of people. Unlike Liu Bei, who built a academy in Qingzhou, countless Confucians came from afar, not to mention, there were also Xun Yu, Lu Min, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Cui Yan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Guoyuan and other Wenchen assistants. Not to mention Liu Bei's father-in-law, Lu Zhi. This Yunwen Yunwu, an old man who can take charge on his own, is still dedicating his light and heat to Liu Bei in Liaodong.

There are already so many people under Liu Bei's command, and if Guo Jia runs over again, wouldn't he want his own life? Cao Cao's news has actually lagged behind, if he knew that Liu Bei still had Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Fu Gan, Huang Xu and other reserve echelons in his hands, and he was like him, searching for Xun You and others all over the world, he was afraid that he would vomit blood.
