[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

The chess piece knocked on the complicated chess game, making a crisp sound, which brought Cao Cao back to his thoughts.He regained his senses, picked up the chess piece and wanted to play it again, but found that the game was settled, and the sunspot he was holding had no power to recover.

"Duke Ming thinks that Jia's chess skills are too bad, so you don't need to put your heart into it, right?" Guo Jia pretended to be angry and said, "He was absent-minded. When the soldiers came to report Yuan Shao's death, Duke Ming had already lost a complete defeat."

Cao Cao did not give up immediately.Holding the sunspots in his hand, he still carefully looked at the chess game in front of him, but no matter from which angle he looked at it, Guo Jia had already sealed off all possibilities for him.In the whole game of chess, there was no way out, and in the end, he had no choice but to throw the sunspots in his hand back into the chess cup: "Fuck, I have been waiting for this day for too long, but when Brother Benchu ​​really went like this, instead I started to miss him a little bit." Because the opposite was Guo Jia, Cao Cao was free to express all the emptiness in his heart, "I am so happy and sad. When I traveled to Luoyang City with Benchu, I would never have thought of today. Fuck would be overwhelmed with excitement over his death."

Guo Jia raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Cao's expression at this time.It seems to be laughing, but it is not noticeable, and the feeling of loneliness and emptiness all over the body makes people feel sad. If this can also be called "excitement", I am afraid that there will be no more happy people in the world.Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been friends since they were young. Guo Jia has investigated the family affairs many years ago, so he knows about it. In the past, he sometimes heard Cao Cao talking about the old things in Luoyang when he was young. Yuan Benchu ​​must be the one who appeared the most often. , so I fully understand Cao Cao's subtle feelings at this time.

If not, why would he come to the main account to play chess with Cao Cao at this time.

"Even so, let's send our troops to the north as soon as possible, capture Yecheng, and offer incense sticks to Yuan Benchu." Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and raised his lips lightly, "If it's too late, then we'll cut off the heads of his unworthy sons." Head, take it to Yuan Gong to worship the soul."

"Haha, then maybe I can crawl out of the tomb at the beginning and fight Cao Cao a few more times." Cao Cao laughed, but with a smile, there was still a bit of bitterness in his eyes after all, "So, maybe It's not bad." He paused, looked back at Guo Jia's eyes, and the eyes gradually darkened, "Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, as well as those few clowns who jump up and down for their own selfish interests, are not alone. Will let it go."

"It's natural. However, Duke Ming has to wait... Cough cough, cough cough."

Halfway through Guo Jia's speech, he suddenly had a slight pain in his throat and couldn't help coughing a few times.Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately frowned: "Why are you coughing again?"

The pain felt very light and fleeting. Guo Jia coughed a few times and felt no more discomfort. "It's nothing serious. Don't worry about it, Mr. Ming." Seeing Cao Cao's frowning and nervous expression, he couldn't help laughing and teasing : "Xu is the prohibition of alcohol in the army, Jia's body made Jia cough twice, urging him to ask Ming Gong for a drink."

Cao Cao didn't let go of his brows because of Guo Jia's joke.Since the banquet in the palace a few years ago, Guo Jia thought he was in better health and went out to watch the snow without an umbrella. After a cold, Guo Jia's illness came and went again and again, and he had a fever for some reason. I got better again, and the cough sounded intermittently from time to time.Although everyone knew that it was not a serious illness, but subconsciously, the intuitive uneasiness stuck in Cao Cao's throat, and he couldn't let go no matter what:

"If I had known earlier, Gu should have let Hua Tuo join the army this time."

"Then what about Yi'er's illness?" Guo Jia asked, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, "Jia is no longer a good father to Yi'er. If it weren't for Dr. Hua who can treat Yi'er all the time in Xudu, Jiashi would let him go." Don't worry."

"Yi'er just ate something bad at the time. It's been more than four months, and Xu Du had already written to say that he was well. Besides, there are so many imperial doctors in Xu Du, it's not difficult to see a child. The more Cao Cao talked, the more he felt that this should be the case, "In this way, send someone back to Xudu in an isolated moment, and let Hua Tuo come to Guandu immediately to join the army."

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to call the soldiers, Guo Jia hurriedly stopped him and said, "Jia just coughed a few times. You really don't need to make such a fuss. There are also military doctors with excellent medical skills in the army. Jia will go to the military doctor right away. , Minggong, rest assured."

Guo Jia said a few more words in a row, and finally dispelled Cao Cao's idea of ​​calling Hua Tuo to the army immediately, and he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.In all honesty, although I felt that Cao Cao was making a big fuss, Guo Jia was very pleased with Cao Cao's concern.There are only him and Cao Cao in the tent, and Xu Chu is guarding outside the tent. No one can enter unless there is a pass.In midsummer and May, it is a hot day, and the presence of the sweetheart makes people even more daring.Guo Jia leaned forward, lifted Cao Cao's chin with one finger, and the hanging sleeves swept up black and white:

"Meng De cares so much about Jia, how should Jia repay Meng De's love? How about..."

"A man! A man!" But suddenly, Xu You called Cao Cao's nickname and broke into the tent.He walked quickly to the front of the case, and saw Cao Cao, who was looking at him with a strange expression, and Guo Jia, who seemed to be smiling with his hands in his sleeves, he was suspicious, but he didn't dwell on it for a long time, after all, he had more Important things to talk to Cao Cao.

"Brother Ziyuan is here. Where is Xu Chu?!" Cao Cao greeted Xu You briefly, then shouted to the outside.

Xu Chu had been guarding outside the tent, and when he heard Cao Cao's shout, he immediately walked into the tent and saluted, "Here!"

"Didn't Gu order that anyone who enters the Gu tent must be passed on by you first?!"

"However, the lord once ordered in the past that if Mr. Xu came, let him enter immediately, and there is no need to report and pass."

"Go and receive the punishment yourself."

"That's all, it's not a big deal, why are you angry?" Xu You waved his hands.He was in a hurry to discuss business matters with Cao Cao, but he didn't want to let Xu Chu, the gatekeeper, waste time.When Xu Chu withdrew, he just opened his mouth, glanced at Guo Jia who was sitting opposite Cao Cao, and closed his mouth again, hesitating.

Cao Cao frowned even tighter.

Guo Jia immediately stood up knowingly, and made room for Xu You to sit separately from Cao Cao: "Since Minggong and Mr. Xu have business discussions, Jia still has some military affairs to deal with, so I will resign first."

"Wait." Cao Cao stopped Guo Jia who was about to leave, and told him, "Go to the military doctor before returning to the tent."

"Jia respects Duke Ming's orders." Guo Jia turned around and bowed to Cao Cao in a respectful manner. The look of abiding respect was completely different from the playful flashing in his slightly raised eyes, "I don't know, after seeing the military doctor, will Jia still return? Want to come back and tell Duke Ming the result?"

"You and A Man still need to discuss business matters. Guo Jijiu can handle this kind of trivial matter by himself." Xu You, who had already sat down opposite Cao Cao, had already become more and more irritated by the back and forth dialogue between Guo Jia and Cao Cao, and then He answered Guo Jia before Cao Cao.He also felt that he was a little overreaching when he said the words, but seeing that Cao Cao's expression did not change, and he was not annoyed, he felt at ease. He secretly said that based on his friendship with Cao Cao for so many years, his position in this Cao Ying is far superior to that of others. beyond reach.

"That's it." Guo Jia bowed more respectfully, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger. His eyes slowly moved down from Cao Cao's frowning eyebrows, and finally stayed on the thin lips that were secretly bitten. He stayed for three seconds, lowered his head and smiled back. He said, "Jia understands, I'm leaving now."

Cao Cao's eyes were almost glued to Guo Jia's body, until Guo Jia was completely covered by the curtains in his green clothes, then he reluctantly turned his head amidst Xu You's noise, forced out a gentle smile and asked: "Ziyuan came to look for Gu, why exactly?"

"You came to congratulate Ah Man." Xu You, who was in joy, didn't notice how fake Cao Cao's smile was, "Ah Man, I don't know, Yuan Benchu ​​finally died!"

"...Ziyuan came to look for Gu, just for this?"

"Ah Man thought it was a trivial matter?! Yuan Benchu ​​died, and the few sons left behind were not as good as each other. They only knew how to fight each other. Now A Man only needs to order the army to go north immediately. The land of Hebei is just around the corner! "

"Brother Ziyuan," Cao Cao seemed too calm at this moment compared to Xu You's excitement.His pair of phoenix eyes flashed with unknown emotions, and he stared at Xu You, "You and I, the three of you, Benchu, were not close friends at the time, but they could be regarded as close friends. Now that Benchu ​​is dead, you are very happy." Happy?"

"Uh..." Xu You choked for a moment, froze in excitement, and didn't speak for a long time.

Isn't it Cao Aman who is looking forward to Yuan Benchu's early death every day?Before the confrontation between the two armies showed no mercy, but now pretending to have deep feelings and gaining fame, Xu Ziyuan looked ruthless.

Although secretly complaining in his heart, Xu You still knows how to behave.He could see that the Yuan family was almost done for. If he wanted to make great achievements in the future, he would have to rely on Cao Mengde if he wanted to be a high-ranking official.For the future, it doesn't hurt to be a villain today to set off Cao Mengde: "Hey, you are indeed sad because of the original death. But put the country first and then the family, first public and then private, since you have served Ah Mo, you will not Because of personal feelings, I missed the right thing."

"Then Gu really should...thank you, brother Ziyuan, Gao Yi?" Cao Cao said in a joking and joyful tone, but the color of his phoenix eyes had sunk even deeper, without the slightest gleam.

Being stared at by such eyes, Xu Ziyuan felt that his back was full of sweat. His instinct that had helped him seek advantages and avoid disadvantages many times was screaming to remind him that the person opposite him was very dangerous and very dangerous. Danger.

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Xu You couldn't help stammering, "What kind of friendship do you have with you? You don't need the word 'thank you'."

"No matter how deep the friendship is, the etiquette is not enough. Ziyuan has shown great kindness and righteousness to Gu, and when Yecheng is destroyed for a day, Gu will definitely repay Brother Ziyuan."

These words fell into Xu You's ears, and he always felt that every word was weird, but he couldn't tell where it was.Seeing that Cao Cao had returned to the kindness he used to treat him in the past, he secretly comforted himself, gradually calmed down, swept away the pieces on the chessboard in front of him, and opened the map:

"Ah Man, look here..."

In this room, Guo Jia withdrew from the big tent, and finally couldn't help laughing.Just now, whether it was Cao Cao's expression of anger and reluctance but had to bear it, or Xu You's appearance of self-confidence that he didn't understand the situation at all, he couldn't help laughing, especially Cao Cao's desire to stay but couldn't, and then from time to time The look of staring at the ignorant Xu You is really interesting to him.

"Guo Jijiu...are you alright?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from beside Guo Jia.Guo Jia was taken aback, and turned around to see that it was Xu Chu: "It turned out to be General Xu. Why, the general didn't go to receive the punishment?"

"If Chu leaves, who can protect the Lord's safety?" Xu Chu stood upright and stood at the door of the tent, "When the Lord sets out the tent in the afternoon, Chu will go and receive the punishment himself!"

"General Xu is worthy of being loyal and courageous. He always puts the lord's safety first, and Jia admires it." He looked at Xu Chu's depressed expression, and said, "However, the general is dissatisfied with the lord's punishment?"

Xu Chu curled his lips and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

When the lord punished him, even if the lord changed the order from day to night, he had no complaints; but the lord punished him because of Xu Ziyuan's arrogant and talented son, and he felt very unhappy.

"Actually, it's really not General Xu's fault." Guo Jia smiled, pointing to the big tent with the curtain down, "My lord, my heart is burning, but Xu Ziyuan is still useful, I can't lose my temper with him, so I can only feel wronged." General. However, if the general wants to vent his anger, Jia can help the general."

"Guo Jijiu is serious?!" Xu Chuxi said, "Chu Zao thinks that Xu Ziyuan is not pleasing to the eye. If there is a chance, Chu will definitely beat him up!"

"If the general wants to beat Xu You, he can go at any time. Anyway, it's just a few blows of the army stick, and the general can't bear it." Guo Jia said, "Jia is right, it is naturally a chance to get rid of future troubles forever. But, general, be patient. some, and..."

"And what?"

"Also, I want to give Cartan the altar of the general's treasured wine as a reward."

Xu Chu immediately said: "It's a deal! But let's talk about it first. If Guo Jijiu fails to do it, Chu will have to pay for Wujijiu!"

"Deal!" Guo Jia readily agreed, anyway, even though he had five altars and ten altars, they were all wine from the Sikong Mansion.

It's really beautiful to be a white wolf with empty gloves!

After saying goodbye, Xu Chu continued to work at the tent door, but his face was obviously much better than before, while Guo Jia walked towards his tent.After walking a few steps, he stopped hesitantly, turned around, and walked in the other direction.

Over there is the tent of the military doctor.

Even if it is groundless worry, I dare not be careless anymore.

There is Cao Mengde's great mountains and rivers, and he is reluctant.
