Chapter 351: The road ahead is difficult
"Don't worry, this matter is still classified, and few people know about it. As long as we do it quietly, there will be no problems at all, and when the time comes, the lord will also send Taishan Taishou Yingshao to answer us. Unless Tao Qian was originally here for you, otherwise he wouldn't have encountered any accidents at all. Ahem. Xi Zhicai explained.
Guo Jia's eyelids jumped, no matter how reasonable the explanation was, based on history, Guo Jia felt that this trip would be very unsmooth. Maybe this kind of secret was exposed, which attracted Tao Qian to lead his troops to chase after him. After all, Cao Song is not incognito in Langya, and suddenly moved his family, even if he does it secretly, it is easy to be noticed by people with a heart.
"I think we should be more cautious about this kind of thing. Since it's already confidential, there's no need for us to go over in person, what if that Tao Qian is really going to rush at me? Wouldn't this be a burden to the old lady? Moreover, our whereabouts here can also attract Tao Qian's attention to some extent, and taking this opportunity, the old lady and his party can also sneak to Yanzhou without a trace. Guo Jia couldn't help but say.
Seriously, Guo Jia definitely didn't see death and let Cao Cao's father Cao Song go to death. It's that Guo Jia can't judge what the real history, or the history here, will be like.
If it is that Zhang Min who is greedy for money, it is very simple, as long as Tao Qian is changed to another person, or Tao Qian is not allowed to send someone to escort him, just come by himself. But what if Tao Qian himself had the idea of leaving Cao Song?
These two very different situations have very different ways of dealing with them. And not only are they different, they are fundamentally contradictory. Because the latter is absolutely impossible for Tao Qian to know. The former, however, had to make it clear to Tao Qian in advance, lest he send Zhang Min to escort him.
First of all. One thing is almost certain, and that's whatever the case may be. Whether Tao Qian planned to befriend Cao Cao or used Cao Song to coerce Cao Cao, judging from the development of events, the whereabouts of Cao Song and his party would definitely be exposed in the end.
Then, on the premise of not knowing Tao Qian's specific thoughts, if it is the former, then there is nothing to worry about, and if it is the latter, there is a full fifty percent risk. Is Guo Jia likely to be stupid enough to get up? You must know that he has only recently strengthened his determination that all future choices will be cautious in order to be safe.
Someone may want to say that you Guo Jia is afraid of death, so it's okay not to go, but you can send someone to remind you. If Tao Qian really wants to keep Cao Song, then there is nothing to say, at least you have worked hard; And if it was really Zhang Min who killed Cao Song, then this person could pass the word on your behalf. Just don't let Zhang Min escort you!
But is this realistic? Does Guo Jia have any reason not to let Zhang Min escort? Why did you decide that you can't let Zhang Min escort you? How did he, Guo Jia, know that Zhang Min might harm Cao Song?
Someone may say it again, so don't you say the name and just don't let people escort you!
What an international joke! Since Guo Jia has sent such a person, it means that Guo Jia has already calculated. Or at least speculate that the whereabouts of Cao Song and his party will be exposed. If your whereabouts are not revealed, then don't be escorted and go sneaky. It probably makes sense. But now that your whereabouts have been exposed, what reason do you Guo Jia have for not letting the kind-hearted Tao Qian send someone to escort him?
If Tao Qian listened to Guo Jia's words. In the end, he really didn't send someone to escort him, which led to Cao Song being killed by other robbers on the way. Can Guo Jia take such a responsibility? You must know that Guo Jia did not go with Cao Song, which means that Dian Wei is not together, and the people brought by Xi Zhicai this time are not together. Cao Song doesn't have any decent people to protect at all!
Because of you, Guo Jia, you didn't greet Cao Song, so that Cao Song had no one to protect; And because of your Guo Jia, you didn't let Tao Qian send someone to escort you, so that Cao Song had no one to protect you...... You Guo Jia deliberately want Cao Song to die, right?!
Therefore, Guo Jia is now facing embarrassment, not that he can't save him when he sees death, but that he really doesn't know how to save it. And not to mention saving Cao Song, how should Guo Jia completely dissociate himself from this matter, he can't think of any good way for a while.
In any case, as long as Guo Jia did not go with Cao Song as planned, as long as Cao Song died in the end, then even if there is no direct relationship, Guo Jia is indirectly responsible for Cao Song's death. Because other people, including Cao Cao, probably thought in their hearts that if Guo Jia went with Cao Song, maybe the final result would not be like this.
Although there is the possibility of Guo Jia backing together, who called Guo Jia so smart. Most people must subconsciously think that if Guo Jia was on the scene at the time, he should be able to solve the crisis!
"Ahem, although what you said makes sense, it is the father-in-law after all. The lord has entrusted this matter to me, if we don't run to the side and guard it yourself, can you really settle down? Xi Zhicai couldn't help but reply.
It's definitely not a question of whether people are rational enough, but sometimes, they can't be rational at all. For example, if you're the president's bodyguard, maybe in some kind of crisis, you feel less dangerous to let the president act alone, but that's just less.
If the president dies or is caught, then you, as a bodyguard, and the bodyguard who made such a decision, must have an indelible responsibility! And if you have been guarding the president, maybe the danger may indeed be relatively large, and if something happens, not only the president, but also yourself. But in the end, even if something really happens, you will be a loyal person who will do your duty or sacrifice your life for the country!
With Guo Jia's values, it must be his life that is the most important, and his reputation and responsibility are put second; And with the values of Xi Zhicai, or the values of most people in this era, it is obvious that reputation is the most important thing. Why does Xi Zhicai want to reform? Of course, there is an idea of public interest, but it is definitely not selfless. Even if he lives a few years less, even if he dies, then he will be famous in the world!
Besides, why didn't Cao Cao send someone else to pick up Cao Song? Why did he send Xi Zhicai to pick up Guo Jia and then run to pick up Cao Song? It's not that I think Xi Zhicai is smart and decisive with Guo Jia, and if he really encounters any accidents, he can save people in danger. In other words, before encountering danger, he had already noticed the abnormality in advance, so he avoided it safely.
In this period of decline of the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that the heart of loyalty to the monarch has been left behind by many people. Therefore, filial piety is definitely the first righteousness of today, and Cao Cao definitely attaches great importance to his father Cao Song, who gave him everything. At least in this early stage, Cao Cao definitely doesn't have the kind of heroic strength that can easily give up his father.
Poor Guo Jia, who had just experienced such a life and death thing, his frightened little liver had not yet stabilized, and now it seemed that he was about to be involved in a great event. (To be continued.) )
