[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Why did Qin die in the world?

The rise of the Han Dynasty following the ruins of the Qin Dynasty, the prosperity of the solid Qin Dynasty was also vigorous, and the death was also sudden, which has always been emphasized by Han scholars.Or ask Bingoli?Since the beginning of Qin Dynasty, the countries in the Central Plains have been known as the master of tigers and wolves. Men are proud to serve in the army, and women are considered beautiful to serve in the army; or is it dangerous for the mountains and rivers?The hinterland of Qin is based on the solidity of Huohan, holding the land of Yongzhou, ten times the land of the six countries, and millions of people, knocking on the pass and attacking Qin but unable, until the first emperor swallowed for two weeks and killed the princes, controlled the imperial way and the world was unified The benefit of millions of mountains and rivers can be said to be in the hands of one person; or you may think that the second generation is mediocre, Zhao Gao confused the government, and the government and the people are mediocre and incompetent. The talents of wise men are based on the secrets of the criminal law, and the Guguan has been broken, and the land of Qin still takes the Qin law as its convenience, and does not praise the virtuous officials.There are many commentators, and it is difficult to discuss the difficulty. It was not until Emperor Wu I that the theory of "Qin Buren" was used to solve the confusion of hundreds of schools.

Why be unkind?This kind of inhumanity is not to love the people for real gain, but to love the people for false fame.Qin Fa is very cool, serious and abnormal, and after a long time, old women and children still know its benefits, the territory is solemn, and there are few robbers.However, the people are not grateful for this, but hate the suffering of the corvee. It is Qin who regards the people as the head of Guizhou, abolishes the king's way, and burns a hundred books to fool him; , The gold-casting man, who wastes his life and makes a living for the poor.How can the people not hate their king?Gu Chen and the people who were involved in the gangsters were not as talented as the mean, and it was not for the sages of Zhongni and Mo Di, and the wealth of Tao Zhu and Yidun.Don't perish from rebellious ministers and thieves, but perish at the hands of ordinary people.

"In today's situation, Jiangdong and Kuqin are in the same position. Those warships will be burned as soon as they are burned. For Jiangdong, there will be no navy for three years. It is by no means a loss in exchange for a respite. After three years, the navy has been completed, so everything has returned to the original situation of fighting against the court? Actually, it is not. To build a warship, it is necessary to consume new gold, silver, wood, and increase new corvee taxes. To reach the old scale, all The cost is by no means a small number. In the past, only the Sun family was the big one in Jiangdong, and these taxes and corvees were collected as soon as they were collected. No one could do anything about it. But when the court sent new officials, the situation would be different.

When a new official comes to Jiangdong, it seems that he doesn't care about soldiers or food, but what he is responsible for is to use talents for his own use, to send them to the court, and to tie the hearts of the family; The hearts of the people; while spring festivals, lectures, etc., are used to assimilate the border people and barbarians by changing the number of poems and books. Our people can only do things that benefit the people with the strength of the north, while Jiangdong can only do things that squeeze the people's fat. If things go on like this , Subtly, the young master thought, before the Jiangdong battleship was built, would it still be necessary to rely on the benefits of war to break Yangzhou and Jiaozhou?Son?Son? "

"Uh-huh!"

"Fourth Young Master," Guo Jia said helplessly, "Did you listen to what Jia just said?"

Cao Zhi's cheeks were slightly red, knowing that Guo Jia had noticed his distraction just now: "Excuse me sir, Zhi..."

"Forget it, forget it," Guo Jia sighed softly, "Jia knows that you are obsessed with the contest between the Second Young Master and Sun Ce, and you won't listen to what Jia said. The time is coming, if you want to see it, go first, you Father, Jia will help you block it."

"Thank you sir! Third brother, wake up!"

Cao Zhi thanked him and pushed Cao Zhang who was sitting beside him.Compared with Cao Zhi's absent-mindedness, Cao Zhang unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep as soon as Guo Jia started talking.Being pushed awake at this moment, he saw Guo Jia's helpless smile at first glance, and then heard Cao Zhi beside him saying "time is running out", and he was stunned for a few seconds before recovering from his confusion.He has always only liked martial arts, and has no interest in the twists and turns of scheming and tricks. Naturally, he didn't hear a word of Guo Jia's words just now.But if you don't like it, you don't like it, and you fell asleep in front of Guo Jia. Cao Zhang still felt a little embarrassed:

"Sir, Zhang just now..."

"It's okay, let's go."

Cao Zhang suddenly smiled so much that he showed his canine teeth, thinking that Guo Jijiu was as easy to talk as ever.

Cao Zhang had strong feet and ran out of the tent in a short while.When Cao Zhi, who was behind him, was only one step away from the tent, he suddenly stopped and turned back to face Guo Jia:

"Sir, that matter..."

"That matter, your father's place, Jia also helped you to block it."

Cao Zhi was slightly taken aback.In fact, when he spoke, he was already mentally prepared to be rejected by Guo Jia. After all, no one would laugh at the incident.He was ashamed to speak, but the life of his best friend was at stake. If his best friend died because of his own shame, he would never be able to forgive himself in his life.But I didn't expect to see Guo Jia's appearance...it seemed that he really didn't care much.

"Fourth son, it will be too late if you don't go."

Guo Jia's voice brought Cao Zhi back to his senses.He felt his face getting hotter, and the joy of being sure that his best friend saved his life was quickly replaced by deeper shame.He took a deep breath, secretly suppressed all the cowardice in his heart, took a step back, and bowed deeply to Guo Jia.After straightening up again, he no longer deliberately avoided Guo Jia's gaze, and smiled gently and modestly at Guo Jia as usual, then turned around and chased Cao Zhang who had been waiting for him impatiently.

Guo Jia picked up the cup and moistened his dry throat. Thinking of Cao Zhi's appearance just before he left, he couldn't help showing a bit of regret in his eyes.At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent, and Guo Jia's face changed. He didn't care about Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. He quickly grabbed the medicine bowl on the case and drank the cold medicine juice in one gulp.

This is what Cao Cao saw as soon as he walked into the tent.Guo Jia's eyebrows were furrowed, her lower lip was tightly pressed, and her eyes were full of pain.There were several dark marks on his front, very much like blood vomited from his throat.

"Fengxiao!" Cao Cao's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed to Guo Jia's side, "What's going on?! What's wrong?! Come, call the army..."

"Don't!" Guo Jia squeezed out his throat, "Duke Ming called the military doctor, Jia is really going to die."

"So what's the matter?" Seeing that Guo Jia's expression gradually calmed down after drinking a cup of tea, Cao Cao secretly felt relieved a lot, but he still asked worriedly.

"Bitter." After finishing speaking, Guo Jia regretted again, "If I had known it was Duke Ming and not Cang Zhu, Jia wouldn't have been drinking so fast."

After Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao saw the empty medicine bowl on the table, and he knew it immediately.He squatted down and raised his hand to wipe away the medicine stains left on the corners of Guo Jia's mouth, and said helplessly, "How can Cang Zhu make Gu's sacrificial wine so afraid?"

"Because that little bastard rebelled!" As soon as Guo Jia mentioned this, his face was full of bitterness and hatred, and his words were full of blood and tears. Priorities, what does it mean to follow orders, military orders are like a mountain, and now..."

"What now?" Suddenly a voice came in.Cang Zhu walked into the tent, saluted Cao Cao hastily, then went straight forward and knelt down beside the case, put Guo Jia's hand on the case, and looked for the person's pulse, "Master only drinks the medicine after it is cold. Bar."

Guo Jia exclaimed: "You know all this?!"

"If you drank the medicine an hour ago, the pulse condition should be more stable than now." As he spoke, Cang Zhu took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and poured out a black pill from it, "When the medicine is cold, the effect will disappear. It's half finished, sir, eat this."

Having seen how unpalatable the medicine made by Cang Zhu himself was, and seeing how black the whole body of the pill was, Guo Jia was already full of bitterness, and hurriedly asked for help: "Meng De, help me!"

Cao Cao only said: "Listen to the military doctor."

Faced with the betrayal of the last straw, Guo Jia was weak and helpless, so he had to succumb to the power of lust and put the pill in his mouth with a look of lovelessness.

"……Sweet?"

Guo Jia, who had already prepared himself psychologically, suddenly found that after taking the pill for a while, it was not only not bitter, but also slightly sweet.The bitterness of the medicinal juice left in his mouth was also suppressed by this pill.

"...Fong Xiao, that pill is not for swallowing."

However, it was too late for Cao Cao to say this.The outer layer of the pill made of hawthorn, wolfberry and honey has already melted away, and the bitterness in the inner layer instantly wiped out the sweetness just now.However, the tea in front of him has already been drunk, and Guo Jia's tears are about to come down due to the sudden change.At this moment, Wen Nuan pressed Guo Jia's lips.

The fusion of lips and teeth is naturally impossible to alleviate the slightest bit of bitterness, it will only make one more person fall into the quagmire.But maybe it was because the kiss was too domineering, when the feeling of hypoxia intensified, the bitterness was gradually forgotten.

Cang Zhu silently looked away, but still felt her cheeks were hot, like sitting on pins and needles.

After a long time, Cao Cao released Guo Jia.Guo Jia was out of breath, and his brain was still dizzy and dizzy.

"There is no bitterness." Cao Cao recalled the taste of the medicine in his mouth, and said again, "For Cao, there is no bitterness, only sweetness."

————————————————————

Guo Jia knew many things, but Cao Cao didn't know, and he was unwilling to tell Cao Cao for various reasons.

Similarly, Cao Cao already knew many things, but Cao Cao didn't want Guo Jia to know that he already knew everything.

For example, on the third day after the war, Cao Cao received a message from the octopus.A piece of paper in a small tube placed on the pigeon's feet was only enough for Cangzhu to briefly write the words "Mr. was poisoned by the brook by accident, and the poison has been cured".No one knew the turmoil in Cao Cao's heart after seeing this note. The soldiers only saw their general throw the note into the fire, and then continued to direct them to resist the Jiangdong soldiers' attack as normal.

Although Xiling City was broken, the casualties of Cao's army were not light.After learning that Xiling City was broken, Sun Quan immediately sent people to travel thousands of miles a day to give Jiangxia City an order, asking them to break Xiling City at any cost.At this time, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, there were many bones under the city, blood on the city wall, and the corpses had no time to restrain themselves, some had already begun to rot, and the stench lingered.In this case, as long as Cao Cao knows that Guo Jia's poison has been cured, he can no longer devote any energy to thinking about Xiakou's affairs.

Both he and Guo Jia knew how critical it was whether Xiling City was broken or not.

And when Jiangdong retreated, he traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Xiakou on the tenth day, and saw a light boat slowly approaching him on the long river.He looked at the man's sleeves blown up by the breeze, at the man's sudden soft brows and eyes after seeing him, at the man's closeness and asked him why he came back in such a hurry.

As a result, the worries accumulated for many days dissipated with the wind in an instant, and he suddenly couldn't say anything.Should I care about Guo Jia's body?But he was not able to accompany Guo Jia when he was poisoned, and he failed to come back as soon as he heard the news. Now that Guo Jia is in good health, he wants to ask Guo Jia again, "Is your body safe?" "?If so, is he really caring about Guo Jia, or is he trying to make excuses for his guilt with such a non-trivial question?

Gold, silver and jewellery, high-ranking officials and rich salary, Guo Jia discarded them as if they were shoes. The only thing he wanted in his heart was that Cao Cao could follow his heart and achieve the peaceful world he expected without hesitation.And when Cao Cao went step by step to achieve Guo Jia's wish, it would inevitably cause some sacrifices of Guo Jia.This seems to be an inevitable paradox. Guo Jia regarded such a sacrifice as a matter of course, but Cao Cao could not turn a deaf ear to it.

"Ming Gong? Ming Gong!"

Guo Jia's call brought back Cao Cao's mind.Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao helplessly, and said helplessly, "It's fine for the third and fourth sons to be distracted, but Minggong is also absent-minded. Is it really boring for Jia to say these things?"

"No, no." Cao Cao hurriedly denied, "Speaking of which, Gu even forgot, Gu asked Ziwen and Zijian to study with you, why were they both not there when Gu arrived?"

"Third son, Minggong is very clear, even if Minggong wished him a word of 'Ziwen', he is not interested in these; as for the fourth son, he is only thinking about his second brother, and he can listen to Jia's words. Strange. Jia just let them go." Speaking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help sighing, "Jia's vicious schemes are not worth learning from the two young masters. But the two young masters failed to learn Wen Ruo's kingly skills. Listen, it's really a pity."

According to Guo Jia's original plan, Jiangdong was strangled in Xiakou, and Zhou Yu was dying. The next step was not to make peace, but to send troops across the river from the east of Jingzhou, intercept the Jiangdong grain transportation road, and send the Jiangdong army in Xiakou. Suppressed and killed.Although this can prevent future troubles forever, firstly, the consumption of our own soldiers and horses will not be a small number, and secondly, although Jiangdong is defeated, there is still room for energy. One mistake, it will fall into a protracted battle again. Changes, there is no guarantee that all previous efforts will not be wasted.Fortunately, at this time, Xun Yu's documents were sent to the army.

Guo Jia was in the midst of the situation, well aware of the situation, but his intention to kill was too heavy; while Xun Yu was far away in Xudu, although he didn't know the specific situation before the detailed battle report was delivered, but because he was outside the battlefield, he knew Jiangdong's problem was not There is only one way to solve it.That's why he emphasized "The Way of the Han Family" in his letter.

The way of the Han family is used by the kings and tyrants.The overbearing is done, and the remaining gap needs to be filled by the kingly way.And as the wars in the world decrease and the people's livelihood gradually improves, the kingly way will eventually replace the intrigue and conspiracy, and rebuild the moral principles.

"However, Sun Zhongmou deserves to be the one that Duke Ming is full of praise for. His city is much deeper than Jia expected."

"How do you say this?"

"Within ten days, he can think of using Liu Bei's power, and he can even actually avoid our spies and contact people in Liu Bei far away in Yizhou. If it is just because he has a clever adviser, then he is When talking with Jia, he deliberately only talked about the "Han Dynasty" and did not mention the "imperial court", the implication was that he only belonged to the Han Dynasty, if in the future..." At this point, Guo Jia stopped talking.Some words are inconvenient to say.

"Also, Jia's conditions may seem harsh, but they are actually not absolutely unacceptable conditions for Sun Quan. The Sun family has been operating in Jiangdong for many years. Our people want to change the situation in Jiangdong. We must not only have superhuman talents, but also You must have the virtues of a sage of the time. Not to mention that such a person is hard to find, and Sun Quan still has a lot of time to make arrangements before the letter of appointment from the imperial court is delivered. Of course, there are many people in Jiangdong who have their own thoughts, but there are also Lu Su's kind of determined scholar? Without Sun Ce's restraint, he got a chance to breathe again, Jiang Dong... I'm afraid the future will be much more interesting than we thought."

Seeing Guo Jia's subconsciously curved lips, Cao Cao's eyebrows and eyes also curved down.As for Jiangdong's future situation, he was not very worried.Even if Sun Quanneng is not affected by Xiao Qiang's calamity in the end, when he has the spare energy to look outside, the world will be very different.

Soldiers are like fire. When the people of the world have been weary of war for a long time, those who provoke wars will only kill themselves.

The two talked and chatted, and after a while they came to a large open space in the center of the camp.A crowd of people had already gathered there, and in the center of the circle formed by the crowd, it was Sun Ce and Cao Pi who were fighting.

"Lord."

"Father."

When everyone saw Cao Cao coming, they saluted Cao Cao scatteredly.Cao Zhi leaned closer to Cao Zhang, leaving two seats open for Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and then looked at Sun Ce and Cao Pi intently.

"How's the situation?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Zhang likes to fight and Cao Zhi is good at writing, but at the moment, Cao Zhi is more focused than Cao Zhang, so seeing that Cao Zhi didn't respond, Cao Zhang had no choice but to answer: "Sun Ce is indeed very strong. The second brother tried his best but he is still at the bottom. Just now... ..." At this time, he suddenly caught sight of Sun Ce cutting off a strand of Cao Pi's hair with a sword from the corner of his eye, and he was anxious, "Damn! What kind of skill is bullying the second brother?! Come and fight me if you have the ability!"

The people around him tugged and pulled, but Cao Zhang didn't let Cao Zhang draw his sword and charge forward.In the end, Cao Zhi drew his sword first.Everyone didn't expect that the usually gentle fourth son would be as excited as the third son. Before he could react, Cao Zhi had already walked out holding the sword.However, after walking a few steps, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and after a few seconds of being stunned, he turned around and walked back.

Yang Xiu, who was standing in the crowd, frowned angrily when he saw Cao Zhi like this.What a great opportunity this is. Even if Cao Zhi's martial arts skills are not as good as Sun Ce's, let alone Cao Pi's, it is enough to show Cao Zhi's courage to do what he knows he can't do!This was a great opportunity to show his face in front of everyone and Cao Cao, how could Cao Zhi...

Just as Yang Xiu was in a hurry to think about countermeasures for Cao Zhi, he suddenly realized that perhaps because his eagerness was too eye-catching, Guo Jia, who was standing beside Cao Cao, turned his head and looked over.

Looking at each other, Guo Jia looked at him and smiled softly.

When Guo Jia looked away again, Yang Xiu had no time to think about anything for Cao Zhi.

Only a few people noticed this undercurrent, and most people's attention was still focused on the battle in front of them.As Cao Zhang said before, the gap between Cao Pi and Sun Ce is too obvious, not only the difference in martial arts, but also the experience and intuition accumulated by Sun Ce in many years of fighting in the South and North.In a sense, Cao Pi's ability to fight Sun Ce for so long without being completely defeated is already commendable.

But Cao Pi never thought so.

At this moment, there is only one feeling left in Cao Pi's mind, and that is exhaustion.His legs were trembling, and his arms, especially the arm holding the sword, were numb and almost numb. What's worse, even though he had more than a dozen wounds on his body, he still felt that his thoughts were getting worse. It's getting chaotic and it's getting harder and harder to concentrate.

Just when he was almost unable to hold the sword, the voices of the crowd pulled him back from his exhaustion.He looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Cao Cao standing there, looking at him like everyone else.

Father.

"Little son, when you are the first to face me, you still have time to distract yourself."

At this time, Sun Ce raised his sword and attacked again. Cao Pi hurriedly dodged, but Sun Ce cut off a strand of hair.

The crowd was noisy, Cao Pi couldn't help but glanced in that direction again, and as expected, he saw Cao Cao frowning.

Yes, he let his father down again.

"Still distracted?!" The sword light was fierce again, and Cao Pi could only block but not attack.

He knew that the best heir in his father's mind was his elder brother, and he also knew that his father had never been more demanding of him than any brother.

"If you don't want to fight, just admit defeat." Cao Pi's passive appearance made Sun Ce a little at a loss.Of course, when he said this, the words "directly admit defeat" instantly exploded the generals who were watching, and the voices of cheering Cao Pi were louder than ever.

In the past, he always thought that among the many brothers, he was the one his father hated the most.So no matter what he does or how well he does, his father will never praise him even a word.

But after the Xiakou battle, he knew he was wrong.

He shouldn't do anything for his father's praise, but he should do whatever he wants.

Even if it is contrary to father's idea, even if all the husbands point out...

And now the only thing he wants is to win.

It was another sword strike, but this time Cao Pi did not retreat, but went back to meet him with his sword.When the two swords collided, Sun Ce didn't expect Cao Pi's fighting spirit to rise suddenly, but Cao Pi forced him to take a step back.

"Tsk, I finally came back to my senses." Sun Ce casually held a sword flower, and he didn't feel too nervous when he was pulled back. "But, young master, you can't win."

Cao Pi raised his head slightly, and said sharply: "Then wait until I lose!"

With that said, the two fought fiercely again.This time, even the onlookers noticed that Cao Pi was different at this time.In the face of Sun Ce's Linglie's offensive, he no longer focused on conceding to preserve his strength, but went forward almost everywhere.Head-to-head confrontation was originally Sun Ce's best method, but when he was tough, Cao Pi did not forget to secretly leave gaps in the subtleties, and when the air raids became bigger and bigger, he went up in one fell swoop, and unexpectedly wounded Sun Ce with a few swords.

"But I still can't win..."

Cao Zhi murmured.Cao Zhang had a painful expression on the side, because his fourth brother had almost broken his hand.

What Cao Zhi said is indeed true.In the face of an absolute gap in strength, no matter how smart one is, at best, losing is not so ugly.This is true for Jiangdong in the north, and it is also true for Sun Ce and Cao Pi.

Cao Cao stared intently at his grown-up son, ignoring more and more injuries on his body, pointing his sword again and again at an opponent that almost everyone thought he could not defeat.

In this situation, Zihuan, what would you do?

Not only Cao Cao, but almost everyone, including Sun Ce, who was fighting Cao Pi, was also curious about Cao Pi's plan.From Sun Ce's point of view, Cao Pi's current offensive is clearly aimed at injuring the enemy by eight hundred and injuring himself by a thousand. Although it can occasionally interrupt his rhythm, it is too far away from victory.

Seeing Cao Pi charge forward with his sword again, Sun Ce couldn't help frowning for others.This style of play, even if there are some gains, is full of flaws.He sighed, and stabbed directly at the man's chest with his sword, forcing him to return to the defense with his sword to block.

But Cao Pi didn't stop him.

Once Sun Ce's sword stabbed down, it would be a fatal injury, and he might be killed on the spot.But Cao Pi seemed to be in a daze, and still rushed forward.This time, Sun Ce was completely choked up by his reckless appearance. For public and private purposes, he couldn't let Cao Pi die under his sword.In desperation, he could only reverse the attack abruptly, raised his hand and knocked the long sword in his hand away.

Almost at the same time as the sword was released, Cao Pi had already approached Sun Ce.In the next second, the dagger reached Sun Ce's throat.

Sun Ce looked at the dagger on his neck in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly threw the sword away, laughing loudly:

"Okay! You win!"

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Cao Pi seemed to have exhausted the last of his strength. He let go of his hand, and the dagger slipped, and he also fell to the side without strength. Fortunately, Sima Yi had already rushed to him. arms.

The crowd erupted into strong cheers, but Cao Pi could only hear Sima Yi yelling in a low voice:

"You don't want to die?!"

"Zhongda," Cao Pi just smiled, "I won."

"Is it so important to win or lose?! Do you know if Sun Ce just now..."

"But in the end, I won."

Footsteps came from behind, Cao Pi used Sima Yi's strength to support himself, and looked back, it turned out that Cao Cao had walked behind him.

"Father," Cao Pi pursed his chapped lips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, thousands of words were finally merged into three words, "I won."

"Yes." Cao Cao knelt down and patted Cao Pi's shoulders twice, "You won."

————————————————————

Such a result of a duel had to be said to have exceeded too many people's expectations.But since this was in Cao Ying, and Cao Pi was the one who won, all surprises became surprises.Just since the victory, the army has not held a celebration banquet, and Cao Cao, who was in a good mood, immediately ordered the soldiers to organize it.As for Sun Ce and a group of Jiangdong soldiers, as long as they don't feel embarrassed, they are welcome to participate in this celebration banquet.

This would put others at ease, and he would definitely not want to participate in the banquet celebrating the victory over his own side, but Sun Ce is naturally different, thinking that he happened to be in Cao Ying, and he heard that there was good wine, so he decided to stay.At the banquet, not only did he have no grievances, but he also took great pleasure in making a noise with the generals of Cao Ying and fighting with Guo Jia for wine.The warriors are straightforward, and when they leave the battlefield, the two sides are no longer enemies, so Sun Ce chats happily with a group of generals every once in a while.And when everyone saw that Sun Ce drank two or three sighs of wine without blushing or getting dizzy, they placed extremely high expectations on him, hoping that he could drink Guo Jia down and avenge their shame.

And the result seems to be a lose-lose situation for both sides.When the banquet was halfway through, Guo Jia and Sun Ce seemed to be very drunk. Before everyone noticed, the two had already walked to the edge of the Yangtze River crookedly, with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"Why did you bring me here? Throw yourself into the river, don't take me with you."

"Get out! It's clear that you want to go this way!"

In the end, they simply sat on the ground by the river.Looking at the endless river water, and the wind blowing from the river, the two seemed to wake up a little bit.

"When we arrive in Xudu, will Gongjin's illness be cured?" Sun Ce asked suddenly.

"It will be fine." Guo Jia thought for a while, and then said, "But I'm talking about the body. When your concubine Yu wakes up and knows that you are willing to take Xu Du as a hostage, I will not beat you." knew."

"Then I will definitely tell Gong Jin that you call him Yu Ji first, and let you, the chief culprit, share the anger for me." Sun Ce said with a smile, his eyes gradually lost focus, "Actually, no. From ten years ago to Ten years later, even if he disagreed with what I did, he never blamed me, let alone got angry with me." Suddenly, he thought of something, turned to look at Guo Jia, and said seriously:

"I ask you,"

"Ah."

"Does Xu have bass?"

"You look so serious just to ask this?" Guo Jia gave Sun Ce a merciless roll of the eyes, "Perhaps none. If you want to eat, go fishing in Xuzhou by yourself."

"Gongjin loves this dish the most. ... How about I regret it now?"

This time, Guo Jia didn't even bother to roll his eyes at him.

Unknowingly, the riverside was quiet again.Except for the sound of the wind, everything was quiet. From time to time, small fish jumped out of the water, causing several layers of ripples.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the river.Immediately afterwards, the surface of the river connected to the sky gradually glowed with fiery red light.At first, they thought it was the setting sun from the horizon that had reached the river, but it took a long time before they realized that it was the raging fire from the ship's boat on the river that reached the sky, became one with the setting sun, and burned the stratus clouds.

"Actually, whether we win the fight with Cao Pi or not, the ship will burn."

"Of course. The general trend of the world cannot be changed by fighting and being brave."

"Tsk," Sun Ce smacked his lips, "it's really boring."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "It's quite boring."

"When I was young, it was fun to take down Jiangdong with Gong Jin." Sun Ce said slowly, whether he was talking to Guo Jia or talking to himself, "Although we have to guard against Yuan Gonglu, we still have to face Yuan Gonglu every day." There are a lot of enemies, but it’s fun! Enemies come, just fight, and when you meet like-minded people, you can become friends after three cups or two cups. If you lose today, you can fight again tomorrow. No matter what kind of messy troubles."

Speaking of this, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to the side, only to realize that he didn't bring out the wine.

Why don't you remember to bring a pot?he repented.

"That's why I say you can't be the leader of one party." At this time, Guo Jia said, "It's impossible to govern the world by relying on your own preferences and temper. When fighting, you can be congenial, and you can live and die together, and you can't wait. After a war, don’t you still have to build some complicated etiquette system, and make some criminal laws and regulations, and you don’t dare to like it, and you can’t say you hate it if you hate it... Tsk, the more I talk about it, the more boring I am.”

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that the scorching temperature can be felt on this side of the river.

"Guo Fengxiao, you are insidious and cunning. You caused Jiang Dong to lose so badly, and you almost killed Gong Jin. If you don't want me to chop you up, I'd be fine. But I'm not that good. I hate you, maybe it's because... the current result may be good. Zhongmou is more suitable to manage Jiangdong than I am. As long as Gongjin's illness can be cured, the world will be great, and he will be in the rivers and lakes without asking about the emperor's career, just talk about it. Chivalry, this life is enough."

"Hey, there's something I've really wanted to talk about for a long time!" Guo Jia couldn't help retorting, "I admit to everything else, but about your Sun Bofu...didn't I remind you that there was something wrong with that horse back then? Who is the person who went looking for death even though he knew there was a problem? After a while, I lost my conscience and you didn’t appreciate it, can you blame me?"

When he heard Guo Jia's story, Sun Ce's face froze: "Haha, isn't that...well, it's all over, right?"

Guo Jia snorted coldly and refused to answer.

If it was in the tent, drinking a glass of wine would be enough to cover up Sun Ce's embarrassment at this time, but there is everything beside the river, except there is no wine.Once again regretting why he didn't bring a jug of wine out just now, Sun Ce searched for a long time, and finally found two cups out of nowhere.

"Is there any wine?" Guo Jia actually felt that something was missing from just now. After thinking about it for a long time, the lack of good wine with the breeze is the wine.

"There are cups."

"...It's better to have no wine than to have a glass."

Sun Ce also found it tricky, but it was impossible to conjure a pot of wine out of thin air.He looked at the surface of the river dyed red by the flames, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He held a cup in the left hand and the right hand, each showing a glass of river water.

"Tianniang Dizang, this is the best wine right now."

Regarding Sun Ce's whimsical idea, Guo Jia stared blankly at the cup in Sun Ce's hand for a few seconds before reacting, and got up to take the cup while complaining.However, perhaps because he was still drunk, he really smelled the mellow fragrance from this square inch, and immediately he no longer felt disgusted.

"However, there must be a reason for drinking the best wine in the world."

"Hmm..." Sun Ce tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's better to wish the world no more heroes."

"Saints don't die, but there are more thieves?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.Seeing Sun Ce nodding, he couldn't help laughing, and facing the river, raised his glass, "Okay! May there be no more heroes in this world!"

The wind, which gradually became more severe, dyed the warmth on the river, blowing up Guo Jia and Sun Ce's messy hair and clothes, and sending them far away with drunken laughter.At some point, a layer of white mist gradually formed on the river. Looking through the mist, the flames on the other side seemed to be much gentler.Not like a raging fire, more like a rising sun.

Two cups were thrown into the river one after the other.There were two small splashes on the river, but they were quickly smoothed away.

Only the turbulent river water is left, flowing eastward, never giving up day and night.

"This world should be peaceful."
