Chapter 226: Guo Jia and Cao Ang
"Well, they asked me to participate in the pigeon release competition, which means that the little boy can spread his wings and fly high, of course, no matter how high he flies, he will never forget home. I think this kind of activity is very good, but I didn't expect them to call me, but I was late. Guo Jia sighed, shook his head, and walked in, but it is estimated that no one here can understand Guo Jia's cold joke.
It's just that although the word pigeon has not been released at this time, the doorman obviously thought of the same meaning, hey, this Lord Guo is too young, too naΓ―ve, and he didn't know that he was being tricked. None of them will come here today, let alone any other activities, I guess I don't know where to stay at this time and I'm watching Guo Jia's jokes.
I have to admire Guo Jia's bad taste, he actually found a "reasonable" explanation for his appearance here, even Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai, his two opponents, can be used, sure enough, if you are cheap, you are invincible!
Coming inside, there are actually not a few people Guo Jia knows, there is no way, in this early stage, almost all of the Cao family relatives in Cao Ying's camp are nobles. Except for Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, who went out to fight with Cao Ying, the rest of the people who stayed behind were still the Cao family or the Xiahou family. I don't know if it's because of the closeness to the eunuchs, although Cao Ying's relatives are also considered to be a big family, but they are all military generals, and there are no decent scribes, probably because of the different education and training methods since childhood.
Therefore, even if Guo Jia knows some people, it is not a system, Guo Jia is still an absolute outlier among the visitors. As an outlier, it is always easy to be left out in the cold, so at this time, it is necessary to test the master's ability to control the field, but Cao Ang is quite extreme, and he accompanies Guo Jia almost the whole time.
As soon as the full moon wine began, a wet nurse took today's protagonist Xiao Cao Zhi out to meet everyone. After a month of growth, it's much more beautiful than when I was just born, well, I finally reached the appearance of a child on TV when I was just born. It's a pity that before Guo Jia had time to touch it in a hurry, Xiao Cao Zhi was taken away by the nurse again, and Guo Jia was almost so angry that he wanted to jump and ask for a "refund of the ticket"!
And not only Xiao Cao Zhi, this time Guo Jia didn't even see the chubby little Cao Pi, which made him sigh that it was wrong, it was completely different from what he thought at the beginning.
"Master Guo, I still have to apologize to you again for the incident with my little sister last time. My little sister has been spoiled by us since she was a child, and she has always been like this. Cao Ang said politely.
"It's nothing, I forgot if you don't say it." Guo Jia replied suddenly, but his next words showed that he hadn't forgotten it at all, only heard Guo Jia touch his chin and say, "I've just been a little confused, I shouldn't have seen your sister before, right, why does she seem to have some complaints about me?" Could it be that my reputation on the outside is too bad? β
"No, Master Guo thinks too much." Cao Ang smiled awkwardly, since they were brothers and sisters, of course Cao Ang knew his sister's thoughts very well, but could he say that kind of thing directly. This is a marriage decided by Cao Ying, if Cao Ang tells the truth, even if he has no other ideas, Guo Jia is likely to mistakenly think that Cao Ang is hinting that he is giving up Cai Wenji's position to Cao Xi and let Cao Xi be the main room!
At a young age, Cao Ang had already learned what it meant to be cautious in words and deeds.
"I think it may be that my sister is still young, and she suddenly asked her to leave the house and marry, probably a little unacceptable. I believe that after a while, she can figure it out herself. Cao Ang explained.
"I hope so." Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders, a woman's heart was in the sea, and Guo Jia still couldn't figure it out.
"By the way, Master Guo thinks that this time my father will face the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, will it be smooth?" Cao Ang hurriedly changed the topic and said, I guess I also want to hear some special insights from Guo Jia and learn them. Guo Jia is not a few years older than Cao Ang, but his achievements have reached a point that people of the same age cannot match. However, Cao Ang will not envy Guo Jia because of this, let alone Guo Jia, because Guo Jia is his father's retainer, so if nothing else, he will also be his Cao Ang's retainer in the future.
Therefore, Cao Ang will only "use" Guo Jia, and the more powerful Guo Jia is, the more valuable he is, of course, this is by no means the kind of use that crosses the river and demolishes the bridge. This is a kind of generalized use, use is not simply just use, learn the words and deeds of the other party, learn the other party's talents, why is it not a kind of use?! Let the people under him be "workers" and "teachers", this is to maximize the use value of people!
In terms of treating talents, it is definitely Cao Ying who teaches well, not only the current Cao Ang, but also the later Cao Pi, including Cao Zhi, whose surname itself is more arrogant, all have their own means.
"I don't think it will be too smooth at first." Guo Jia said directly.
"Oh?" Cao Ang's heart moved, Guo Jia was really like the legend, and his speech was often direct and unexpected. You must know that during the war, especially at the beginning, this kind of speech that may be defeated and shake the morale of the army will even be beheaded in serious cases. Guo Jia will say it directly, and he will say it to Cao Ang, Cao Ying's son, I have to say that it is unexpected.
"The proud army will be defeated, and the power of a great victory is often in a thought. This kind of thing is different for different people, and it may be different for the same person at different times. Therefore, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the key to victory. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, indomitable, has experienced countless battles, although there are not many victories, but the combat experience is definitely not comparable to the ordinary army. So I want to expect them to be proud, maybe the surname is not big. Guo Jia analyzed, "And there is also a fundamental interest problem here." β
"How?" Cao Ang hurriedly asked.
"What do you say is the fundamental purpose of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
Cao Ang himself is not that kind of rigid person, so he replied directly, "At the beginning, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army may have wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty, but now the Yellow Turban Army is just trying to find a place to survive." β
"Absolutely! Now that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has no base in Qingzhou, it is not easy to settle in Yanzhou, maybe it is not difficult to stop their expansion, but if you want to drive them away, if you want them to continue to live that kind of displacement, lack of food and clothing, then they will definitely work hard! Only those who have lost will know how to cherish, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army knows better than anyone else the preciousness of their current life! The so-called last battle, that's what it's talking about, if you want to forcibly drive the Qingzhou Yellow Turban out of the country, it will really hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose yourself by eight hundred! Guo Jia analyzed.
Cao Ang's face changed, and he couldn't help but say, "Then father, wouldn't they be very dangerous this time?!" No way! I'm going to lead troops to support right away! β
"Don't worry." Guo Jia waved his hand calmly, "I have already sent a letter to the front line before, as long as the lord does what I say, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will not be a problem!" β
