Chapter 790: Some Old Friends
"I've really heard of this, but I'm a little lonely, I have always only known that this Wolong is Guo Jia, but I don't know who this phoenix chick is?"
"Huh? I always thought that Feng Xiao was Guo Jia? Isn't it? ”
"No, it's clear that Wolong is Guo Jia!"
"How is it possible, I remember that Feng Xiao is Guo Jia, do you doubt my memory?!"
"Okay, okay, no matter what, there must be Guo Jia among them."
"Well, that's true. Those who get Guo Jia can settle the world. (Hey, how did you get back?) )
It's really the truth, it's like people are fucking born, demons are fucking monsters, so who the hell gave birth to shemales? It doesn't matter if it's a human or a demon, it's one of them anyway, it's all right, right? (What a profound truth)
In the north, under the overall situation, even without Guo Jia, the result is no different. Sure enough, the general trend of history cannot be decided and changed by just one or two people. As early as when Yuan Shao was in the camp, Guo Jia knew that the earth would still turn without you, in this world, there are so many smart people, and the same plan is not only you Guo Jia can think of.
Maybe Yuan Shao may be indecisive, but Cao Cao is not such a person, at least not today's Cao Cao. Cao Cao, who is a military strategist himself, can clearly judge the good and the bad, and make trade-offs very quickly, or because of his "arbitrariness", Cao Cao has made many wrong choices, but most of the key ones are still correct decisions.
So, where will the remaining Yuan brothers be Cao Cao's opponents. Without Guo Jia, there are still people who can go on an expedition to Karasuma; There is no Guo Jia's legacy to determine Liaodong. Then there is Xun You's clever plan to determine Liaodong, and Jia Xu's wisdom plan to determine Liaodong! Anyway. Eventually, the situation in the north. It's not much different from Guo Jia's impression.
In other words, the self-righteous, who didn't take Guo Jia as a warning, felt good about himself, and swelled to the point that he didn't know the so-called Xu You, was still cut by Xu Chu. Xu You, this guy, is so unscrupulous, is he planning to be the second Guo Jia?! Moreover, if today, the time and place are different. Now it's different from the past, even if Xu You has the same talent as Guo Jia, does he really think that he can be the second Guo Jia?!
Although Xu You was cut by Xu Chu angrily this time, keen people can still see that Xu Chu did what Cao Cao had always wanted to do. Probably because of Xu You's incident, after the incident in the north, some people represented by Jia Xu also took the initiative to unload the military power in their hands, just like Zhong Xuan at the beginning. Jia Xu, who has always kept a low profile to survive, has never hesitated in this kind of thing. This is probably Jia Xu's long-term way.
Then, under such a general trend, Cao Cao finally reorganized himself and prepared to go south. Completely dominate the country!
Of course, now the north has just arrived, and the territory is huge. There may be remnants of rebellion and trouble internally at any time, and it is necessary to maintain stability for a period of time. Frequent use of troops is not of much benefit. Cao Cao knew very well that having a stable rear was the greatest guarantee for the war.
Therefore, although Cao Cao made a decision, he did not leave the north immediately. Instead, he first sent Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Yu Ban and others to deploy troops on the Nanyang side to harass and attack Liu Bei in Xinye in the south.
Seriously, at this time, Cao Cao had already completely ignored Liu Bei, and what he really wanted to test at this time was Liu Biao. Cao Cao wanted to try to see if Liu Biao would rush to the rescue when Liu Bei couldn't hold on. If Liu Biao really sent troops, then it would be better to use Liu Bei as a bait to surround the point and send reinforcements.
Therefore, Cao Cao at this time never thought of it, and he never imagined that he would actually hit a wall in this little Liu Bei later. In short, although Cao Cao had not yet acted personally at this time, the military movement had already indicated that Cao Cao's next strategic focus had gradually shifted to the south
During this time, in the suburbs of Nanyang, "Longshan Wollongong", Guo Jia lived a quiet life. Since Guo Jia is no longer in a sensitive place like Kyoto, although some important officials in Cao Ying's camp still don't dare to come to visit Guo Jia easily, another group of people can now find Guo Jia very easily, even openly.
First of all, it is natural that there are hostile forces, such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Wu in Jiangdong, who have sent people to contact Guo Jia, and gave Guo Jia's high-ranking officials Houlu, asking Guo Jia to jump ship to their side on very generous terms, and promising to secretly send troops to protect Guo Jia's past.
However, Guo Jiake is not so naïve. Think about the situation of Cao Cao's father Cao Song back then, what if he sent troops to secretly pick up the guards? On other people's territory, dragging the family and wanting to escape, where is it so easy! Don't look at Guo Jia now, it seems that he is not under house arrest, but Cao Cao is definitely more attentive to Guo Jia than Tao Qian was to Cao Song back then. Once Guo Jia has plans to run away with his whole family, it will be strange if something happens immediately. Cao Cao would never leave a guy like Guo Jia to the enemy!
Therefore, for such an invitation, Guo Jia has always just smiled, hehe. Since he chose to settle here, if Guo Jia didn't have any major events, he really didn't plan how to move. Of course, if he doesn't move, it doesn't mean that he won't let others move, which is a later story.
In addition, another group of people who found Guo Jia are the same as Guo Jia today, who are also some idle hermits. is like Guo Jia's teacher, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, since Guo Jia settled in Wollongong, this old man will come to see his protégé if he has nothing to do. And Sima Hui is here, the group of guys Guo Jia met in Xiangyang back then, Boling Cui Zhouping, Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan, Runan Meng Gongwei, and of course, Pang Degong, also love to run to Guo Jia's side from time to time.
For this reason, Guo Jia often complains, is this group of guys specially coming to eat big households, seeing that he Guo Jia is rich, he loves to run to his house to eat, fortunately, the family lives far away, if it is close, then this group of guys will definitely not be as thin-skinned as Zhuge Liang, maybe he will use Guo Jia here as a canteen.
Of course, it is also because of these contacts that Zhuge Liang, as Guo Jia's "second lieutenant", can get acquainted with this group of famous hermits, and finally has some decent contacts. And before, in addition to knowing the special situation of people like him Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang completely belongs to Zhuge Liang's own connections, and it is estimated that only Ma Jian who took the initiative to get together, and then hit it off with Zhuge Liang, found a common word, and became a good friend.
Through these people, Guo Jia also knew some of the internal changes in Jingzhou over the years, in addition, Xu Shu recently followed Liu Bei and was invited back by Liu Bei to be a military advisor, as for Pang Tong, he traveled around, well, like Zhuge Liang before, looking for jobs everywhere, and also hitting walls everywhere. There is no way, Pang Tong is also a high-minded and arrogant person, because of Pang Degong, he is obviously already famous, but Pang Tong wants to succeed on his own, so every time he hides it, the result is always a wall.
