Chapter 753: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Even if it is out of sympathy, even if the relationship is very good, once he is classified into Guo Jia's camp, maybe his career will end here. Of course, there are no people who fall into the well, what kind of person Cao Cao is, the scene is very clear, if you fall into the well at this time, not only will it not please Cao Cao, but it will also make Cao Cao feel that you are not a good person, unreliable, and it is not bad not to sentence you to a crime, let alone be taken seriously. Besides, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, don't look at Guo Jia's fall now, Guo Jia's intricate power is so big, even Cao Cao has to take his time little by little, if others jump out without authorization, they simply don't know whether to live or die!
And people related to Guo Jia, such as Chen Qun, have a heavy face. Wait, why is there still a person laughing? How can there be a person laughing? Liu Ye?! Has your head been run over again? You won't really be naïve to think: wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, adults deserve to be adults, and they are going to be promoted to big officials and make a fortune. Guo Jia really wanted to fly over at this time and kick this guy's ass!
I don't know if it's because of Liu Ye's foolish smile that he spent a long time in peace, is it a fool who has a fool's luck? Or is it wise as foolish?
Well, Guo Jia doesn't want to care about this kind of thing, because there are other aspects that Guo Jia cares about more, that's right, the military generals! Battlefield generals are usually more direct in their thinking, and they are not used to these twists and turns in politics. Therefore, many generals did not understand the real purpose of Cao Cao's doing this kind of thing, and thought that Cao Cao was simply rewarding Guo Jia. Of course, it is definitely one of Cao Cao's purposes!
It has long been said that soldiers and scribes are very unpleasant to each other. Not to mention the scribes' views on soldiers. Let's just say that soldiers, desperate for their lives. Rush to the front line and go into battle to kill the enemy. Sometimes the merit status is not as good as that of the scribes, and they may feel comfortable in their hearts?
Therefore, Xun Yu said before that he was not as good as the soldiers who fought on the front line, which was of course a modest remark, but it also made the generals present listen very comfortably, and Cao Cao attributed the biggest credit to Guo Jia, and many people were a little unhappy and unconvinced. In this feudal era, or most times, there will be a habit of thinking. That is, people subconsciously do not go against the top, perhaps out of awe of the superior, so subconsciously avoid this thought.
It's like now, it's obvious that Cao Cao "made a mistake", and he put the credit on Guo Jia, but it was not Guo Jia who asked for it himself and grabbed it himself. As a result, most of the soldiers were not convinced, but Guo Jia had a grudge against him. Instead of thinking that Cao Cao didn't do it right, Guo Jia was actually innocent.
It's also strange that Cao Cao has always favored Guo Jia, and the relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Cao has always been very good. Therefore, in the eyes of these generals who were unresponsive in political terms, this behavior towards Cao Cao. I don't think it's strange and abrupt at all, and naturally it's hard to think about the problems behind it. In a word. Cao Cao used such a means to completely push Guo Jia to the opposite side of the sergeant. Maybe from this moment. Guo Jia has become one of the most unlikable scribes.
In this way, without the support of the soldiers, can Guo Jia still have the opportunity to rebel easily?!
After that, it was a reward. Cao Cao's various positions and honors were piled up on Guo Jia, and all kinds of officials and lords were also piled up on Guo Jia, which was dazzling and dazzling, even people who didn't know the goods understood that Guo Jia had made a lot of money.
However, those who are careful will find that Guo Jia is now more of a false name, and more of an inconsequential clerical job. And the sacrificial wine of the military advisor, which was considered to be very operable, was temporarily banned on the grounds that Guo Jia wanted to raise troops in Xudu. Of course, it is said that it is temporary, but in fact, even if Guo Jia recovers from his illness in the future, his body is better, and his food is more fragrant, it is estimated that the position of this military advisor will not return to him.
As for the Duke's Yulu, it is even more outrageous, don't look at Guo Jia's food and yi seems to have risen very much, a person is high up, far ahead, which makes people feel as if they are going to impact the status of the Marquis of Wanhu. But in fact, Cao Cao gave Wu Jun to Guo Jia. Please, Wu County is the territory of the Sun clan in Jiangdong, can Guo Jia really go there to collect taxes?
Therefore, not only is the official position virtual, but Guo Jia is now even a virtual title, except for everything he had before, he didn't get anything at all this time, and even abolished the army establishment. On the surface, it is a promotion, but in fact, it is simply suppressed. When Wu County becomes Cao Cao's territory, it means that the Central Plains will also be unified, and at that time, will Guo Jia's affairs still matter? It's a big deal, just find an excuse and take it back. Moreover, the premise of all this is that Guo Jia can live until that day.
After Guo Jia, it is the reward of other meritorious people. Sure enough, all of them are completely inferior to Guo Jia, in the eyes of the outside world, this first thank Guo Jia is not wrong at all, whether it is said verbally or actually given, there is no discrepancy.
In this way, Guo Jia was finally completely isolated. When the banquet really began, and everyone gathered together to drink, eat meat, and brag and burp, as the protagonist of today, Guo Jia, who is known as the great meritorious, was surrounded by no one. Well, Cao Cao is an exception.
This pair of monarchs and ministers, this pair of old friends, are still the same as before, sitting together, drinking and chatting, and talking about the world. Eat at the same table, go out with the same car, well, at least on the surface.
Guo Jia simply drank a few glasses of wine, and left early on the grounds of his health, and Cao Cao did not stop him. After Guo Jia left, the banquet scene was even more lively for a while. The entire Xu capital is in a carnival. It's just that the sadness behind the fanaticism is something that few people can see
Back at home, Guo Jia briefly told his family about the previous incident, of course, Guo Jia would definitely not say the problems behind it. However, few of Guo Jia's women are stupid, and the matter between Guo Jia and Cao Cao has already been foreshadowed, especially Cai Wenji, who understands this very well. And even if you didn't notice it before, you can still find the problem.
"It's okay, so you don't have to go out all year round, and you can live a leisurely life. Husband, let's take care of yourself at home. Cai Wenji said.
However, at the scene, it is estimated that except for Xiao Dudu, Xiao Qiao, and Zhu Rong, who does not understand the situation in the Central Plains, everyone else has already noticed the problem to some extent. Perhaps these women couldn't understand the reason why Guo Jia was a good scribe and always had to go to the army. But these women at least know very well which positions are powerful ministers and which are fictitious positions in the civil ministers.
Therefore, now Guo Jia is clearly cut in power, and he no longer has the power above 10,000 people under one person before, and he can no longer walk sideways like before. Women don't know much about politics and don't really understand what is going on during this time. It's just that as Guo Jia's woman, she must be biased in looking at the problem. Cao Cao, is this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?! (To be continued......)
