[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

He used to think that Yuan Shao vomited blood and died so quickly because he was too arrogant and rushed to his heart when he was defeated.Unexpectedly, Guo Tu was among them.

Yuan Benchu, a hero of one generation, four generations and three princes, who ruled the four states, and whose reputation spread far and wide, died because of this.This brother of his clan, I haven't seen him for many years, he is really getting more and more cunning.

"However, didn't Feng Xiao also deceive Pi?" Xin Pi really didn't have any feelings for the Yuan family, and revealed this secret to Guo Jia, for the purpose of showing favor to Cao Ying, and also for the simple idea of ​​sharing the secret with friends.After finishing speaking, he didn't think much more, so he changed the subject naturally, "That day when Feng Xiao stayed in Cao Gong's camp for half an hour, he must have said nothing. Feng Xiao also said that Cao Gong scolded you , causing Pi Huan to feel guilty for a long time."

"On this point alone, Jia did not deceive George." Being pulled back from his thoughts by Simpi's words, Guo Jiali looked back at Simpi confidently, "Jia was indeed scolded by the lord that day."

"... Are you serious?"

"That day Jia only planned to leave George outside the tent for a quarter of an hour before coming out, but my lord talked about Jia for half an hour because Jia went to see him without the fox fur that Jia pulled in the tent."

"..."

"Haha, does George really believe it?" Seeing Simpi's speechless expression, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, "However, since George is already one of his own, Jia also told George a secret:

Let George change his mind completely. The one who claimed to be the "assassin" sent by Guo Gongze to kill you is Jia. "

Under Xin Pi's astonished gaze, Guo Jia's eyes were full of smiles: "Joge is an upright person, and it's really not suitable for him to lie like Jia. Jia knew that when George just came to the camp, he still hesitated in his heart, worried that his brother and Zai Ye Cheng’s family, so Jia helped George make this decision. It’s a trivial matter, George doesn’t need to thank Jia.”

"you……"

"Okay, okay, we've finished talking, George has agreed, and we can't go back on our word. Now, let's go with Jia to see the lord." Before Simpi could refute, Guo Jia had already dragged him out of the tent, " If it is a few days later, your eldest son Yuan will really be decapitated."

Being half-pushed and half-pushed by Guo Jia to the main tent, Xin Pi was just about to ask Xu Chu to inform him when he was dragged in by Guo Jia.Seeing the usual expression on Xu Chu's face, Xin Pi realized that ten days ago, he was completely deceived, from reporting minor matters to fighting with family and country affairs.

Without the temptation of mutual protection, Cao Cao readily agreed this time, and this time Cao Cao readily agreed to send his troops northward immediately to rescue Yuan Tan who was besieged by Yuan Shang.Immediately afterwards, Simpi saw that within a few hours, Cao Cao's generals had come to report to the tent, saying that the whole army had completed the hourly hours, and they could leave camp and return north tomorrow.

It turned out that the moment he arrived at Cao Ying ten days ago, Cao Cao had already ordered the generals and battalions to count the soldiers and prepare to leave Nanping and go north.And for such a big matter, he was in Cao Ying, and he didn't even find the slightest clue. It is conceivable that Cao Ying's strict management of the army surprised Xin Pi.

Why did Yuan Shao occupy the land of the four states in the world, with millions of troops under his command, and tens of thousands of grain beams, but still suffered a crushing defeat, regretting his death?The answer is all in the slightest difference.

"Xinpi told Gu that he felt that you were much thinner in Fengxiao than in Jian'an five years ago."

When Simpi, who was shocked, left the big tent, Guo Jia immediately ran to Cao Cao and sat down.That place is the hottest and warmest.As soon as he sat down, he heard Cao Cao's words and asked in surprise, "That day when George persuaded Minggong Bei to save Yuan Tan?" Talking about business with Mr. Ming, and it’s actually possible to say this, and only George’s character can do this.” I can’t grasp the main point of the conversation as a lobbyist.

"It doesn't matter when he said it, what matters is filial piety to your body." Cao Cao pulled out Guo Jia's warm hand hidden in the fox fur, and put it in his palm to cover, "Have you been coughing recently?"

"Does Minggong look like Jia is sick?" Guo Jia smiled, "Thanks to Dr. Hua for those painful medicines, Jia has not coughed recently, and her health has improved a lot. As for losing weight... the weather It's so hot that Jia can't eat, it's normal. But Mr. Ming, why are you always making such a fuss these days?"

"Gu is not a big fuss. It is still August, and your hands are so cold, the foundation must still be false." Cao Cao paused, and told Guo Jia with the worry that had been choking in his throat in recent days, "Recently, Mr. It's a dream." He said slowly and deeply, his voice was long and deep, as if he had crossed the chasm of time,

"In that dream, Gu fought a lost battle, a big defeat that could never be recovered. And the reason, I thought about it a thousand times in Gu Meng and outside the dream, and I felt that it was just because you were not there at the time. by my lonely side."

"Pfft, it turns out that in Duke Ming's mind, Jia is enough to decide the victory or defeat of a battle. If the soldiers of the three armies and other advisers hear this, they will definitely be chilled." The light was shining like the morning dew on the leaves, "But what's the point? If Minggong really takes this dream to heart, Jiadu will always be by Minggong's side in every battle of Minggong from now on." .

Where can Jia go after leaving Duke Ming?Therefore, Jia will not leave Duke Ming, and Duke Ming will not lose. "

However, in Cao Mengde's mind, is victory more important, or is Guo Fengxiao still by his side more important?

As soon as this idea popped up, Guo Jia suppressed it with a snort.He leaned forward and pecked Cao Cao's lips. He was satisfied to see that the worry on Cao Cao's brow faded a lot in an instant, and a sly smile like a cat stealing dried fish could not help but rise on his lips again.

If you already know the answer to a question, why do you want to find trouble for yourself?

Life is short, so we should cherish the present and sing to wine, that's great!

In October, when Cao's army arrived at Liyang, Yuan Shang was afraid to retreat. Two generals under his command, Lu Kuang and Gao Xiang, defected to Cao Cao.Cao Cao knew that Yuan Tan was deceitful, so he married Yuan Tan's daughter to his son Cao, pretending to be married to Yuan Tan, to reassure him, and to make Yuan Shang more jealous of Yuan Tan's power.As soon as Cao Cao withdrew his troops, as expected, Yuan Shang gathered a large army and violently attacked Yuan Tan who was stationed on the plain, leaving an empty city of Ye and handing it over to Shenpei to garrison.

Naturally, Cao Cao would not let go of this great opportunity.In February of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went up Hebei, bypassing Yuan Shang and directly marched into Yecheng, surrounding Yecheng with a large army.They built mountains of earth, dug tunnels, and continued to attack Yecheng in different ways. They did not expect success in one fell swoop, but hoped that along the way, they would gradually wear down the spirit of the defenders of Yecheng.

In May, the summer rain season, the river rose again.According to Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao ordered the destruction of earth mountains and tunnels, digging trenches to besiege the city, and relying on heavy rain to dredge it overnight.

"Now, Yecheng is going to die again."

Standing by the water-filled ditch outside Yecheng, Guo Jia raised his head and looked at the thick but vulnerable city wall in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The wind swept across the river, bringing a bit of chill to him.With a slight pain in his chest, he couldn't help but leaned down and coughed a few times.

When the sound of cicadas faded in summer, more than half of the people in Yecheng died of starvation.

In autumn and July, Yuan Shang led more than ten thousand people back to rescue Yecheng.Cao Cao led his troops to attack Yuan Shang and defeated him.Yuan Shang wanted to surrender, but Cao Cao refused, and chased Yuan Shang all the way to Qishan, where he collected all his seals, ribbons, battle-axes, and clothes, to show that the people guarding the city of Ye had collapsed.

The night was as cold as water, Guo Jia sat in the tent, put on a new oil lamp, and continued to read piles of battle reports on the case.When he saw the news that the hearts of the people in Yecheng were fluctuating and the corpses of the starving dead were everywhere, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, as if he had seen the most wonderful thing.

With a sudden pain in his chest, Guo Jia covered his mouth and tried his best to suppress his coughing so that the soldiers outside the tent could not hear him.The coughing sound was unstoppable, and he couldn't resist it. He felt his face wet. It was the sweat from his forehead, and it dripped down on the bamboo slips he was writing on the table, blurring the wet ink.

Astringent in the mouth, Guo Jia is very familiar with this fishy and sweet taste.

It's the smell of blood.

Guo Jia didn't know what happened to his body suddenly after two months.Maybe it was because the weather was getting colder day by day and he got wind chill like in previous years, or something else, but he didn't dare to go to the military doctor.Seeing the military doctor was equivalent to telling Cao Cao his physical condition, Po Ye was in a critical period, and he didn't want anything to distract Cao Cao.

Jia didn't want to hide it from the lord.

He convinced himself so.He had promised Cao Cao long ago that no matter what happened, he would never assert himself again and throw Cao Cao alone into the emptiness and loneliness carved out by the long years.It's not that he doesn't intend to tell Cao Cao about it, it's just because now is really not a suitable time.

Wait a little longer, after the city of Ye is broken, he must go to the doctor immediately.

It should also be within a month or two.

The water that has cooled down for a long time has been poured into the mouth of the drink, and the blood pressure in the throat is lowered.Guo Jia rubbed his eyes that were blurred due to sleepiness, and continued to write down the next task that he would instruct the octopus by the candlelight as big as a bean.

In August of the ninth year of Jian'an, Rong Yeyin, the guard of Yecheng, opened the city gate to welcome Cao Jun into the city.In less than two hours, the entire city of Yecheng was under the control of Cao Jun, and the guards were tied up.

Before the city was broken, Simpi knew that because of his surrender to Cao Cao, his brother's family members who stayed in Yecheng were interrogated and sent to prison.As soon as Yecheng was broken, he immediately rushed to the prison with a horse whip, only to find that his brother's wife and children had all been beheaded by the judge.

He backed Yuan to Cao Cao so that his brother's family would not be decapitated when Cao Cao broke the city. However, after going around, he returned to the point of origin that he was most afraid of.He held the corpse of his elder brother's little daughter with Yu Wen in one hand, and with the horsewhip in the other hand, he whipped the examiner's face without any manners, blood was seen from the whip.

Amidst the sound of cursing and howling, the judge laughed three times, pulled out a long sword from the waist of the soldier beside him, faced north and shouted to Yuan Gong, and killed himself.

At the same time, Guo Jia also crashed to the ground.
