[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Guo Shi's expression was so ordinary that for a while, Zheng Ping couldn't tell whether Guo Shi's words really came from a dream, or had other intentions.

Zheng Ping didn't intend to be entangled, he recalled Mi Heng's manuscripts and letters, and sighed:

"A son who is not filial makes his mother worry."

Mrs. Guo shook her head: "You have the ambition of a man, how can you be confined within the walls. It's just 'the son travels far and the parents worry'. No matter where you go, the mother will always care about you."

Zheng Ping read other meanings from this sentence.However, Mrs. Guo did not immediately continue the topic on this sentence, as if she mentioned it casually.

She continued, "The rumors spread among the clan, although they are false and absurd, they have some merits."

Zheng Ping knelt down in front of the bed, did not interrupt when he heard the words, and pretended to listen quietly and respectfully.

"Then Cao Cao, although he has some practical talents, is not a generous master. If you obey him, he will help you to rise to the top; if you follow his wishes and go against him, you will definitely not be tolerated."

Guo Shi's remarks were quite transparent. Based on Zheng Ping's understanding of Cao Cao, Guo Shi's comments were not completely to the point, at least seven or eight points were right.

"In the past, when he was fledgling, he dared to kill the famous scholar Bian Rang when there was only one city in Yanzhou. The reason for this was that Bian Rang treated him with contempt. Now he is seeking talents and respecting the corporals because he is thirsty for talents. Ba Ye's plan is not really out of pity."

"At present, the world is uncertain. In the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are fighting against tigers and leopards. In the south, Liu Biao and Sun Ce are dominating Jiangdong. Cao Cao has a heart of tolerance, and he needs to think twice before acting. However, Cao Cao is ambitious and unwilling to be behind others. Once he flies Flying in the air and acting like a dominator, you will lose your tolerance. At that time, even if you can be used by him, once he finds that your knife is not easy to use and may scratch the hand holding the knife, he will forget about it. The love of the past leader will break your knife without hesitation."

If the first sentence can make Zheng Ping understand that Guo Shi has some ability to understand people, then the two paragraphs of analysis just now are enough to surprise Zheng Ping.

What kind of person Cao Cao was, Zheng Ping did not dare to make a hasty conclusion, and later generations have different opinions.But according to the historical track, according to the reason and process of his killing Kong Rong, Cui Yan, Yang Xiu, Xu You, Hua Tuo and others, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of Cao Cao's behavior style and taboos.

Guo's words, not only did not contain any exaggeration, but also saw through Cao Cao's heroic nature.

Regardless of whether Guo Shi has met Cao Cao or not, her vision and insights are far better than others.

Zheng Ping suddenly thought that when he and Li Jin were making plans for the family affairs, Guo Xuan also made several suggestions.The resourcefulness and intelligence she showed at that time, especially her rational understanding and foresight of human nature, were enough to be described as excellent.

Guo Xuan grew up in the hands of Guo Shi since childhood. If Guo Xuan's talent was taught by Guo Shi alone, Guo Shi's ability may be more profound than what he has seen.

Zheng Ping no longer responded to Guo Shi with high-sounding words, he poured a cup of hot soup for Guo Shi, and replied solemnly:

"As long as those who hold the power of life and death, there will always be people who cannot tolerate it."

Going back to the emperors and princes in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, down to the princes and generals of all dynasties, except for the puppets with names, none of them have lives in vain.Power gives birth to a heart for power. An ordinary person who abides by the law when he is unarmed, when he has an unstoppable weapon and the right not to be punished, his respect for life will be consumed by his self-interested nature day after day.

"Whether it's Cao Cao or other princes, the only difference lies in the boundary of 'being offended intolerable'. Since there is a possibility of 'not being tolerated', it is better to test other schools and choose a more suitable hero."

Except for Cao Cao, wouldn't other people kill their own people because of disputes?Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng, Sun Ce wanted to kill Gao Dai and Wei Teng, and Liu Biao almost killed Han Song.

Their behavior is not fundamentally different from Cao Cao's.

Guo obviously understood what Zheng Ping meant.

However, regarding his remarks, she still frowned slightly, expressing a little puzzlement:

"Cao Cao... suits you?"

Guo already had a deep understanding of the conflict between Mi Heng and Cao Cao, and when she heard Zheng Ping's words "consistent with one's heart", she felt unbelievable.

Zheng Ping said: "Choose the strong from the short, and draw the tall from the dwarf. Cao Cao is the best among them for his pretentious skills and ambition to govern the world."

This is really a very balanced answer.What was clearly a compliment sounded like a derogation.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Guo stopped questioning and lowered his eyes in thought.

What Zheng Ping did not say clearly was that it was not only Cao Cao who was good at pretending to restrain himself, but also Liu Bei and Sun Quan who later became powerful with him.It's just that one of these two people has not yet made a fortune, and the other is still a minor, so let's exclude it for the time being.

After Zheng Ping did not hesitate to expose the inevitable disadvantages of all those in power, Guo's expression relaxed, and he let go of his prejudice and taboo against Cao Cao.

She said to Zheng Ping: "Since you have a plan in mind, if I try to obstruct it again, I don't know what to do. Things in the family are still undecided, so I will stay and deal with them first. After this matter is settled, I will take Xuan'er to Xu County. "

Zheng Ping did not expect that Guo Shi and Guo Xuan would also go to Xudu.But he was just a little surprised, so he put the matter aside without thinking about it.

When Li Jin learned that Zheng Ping was going back to Cao Cao, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he could swallow two eggs.

He knew that Zheng Ping was indeed suffering from madness because of the affairs of the Han clan, and now he heard that Zheng Ping wanted to go to Cao Cao's lair, so he couldn't help but wonder if he had a relapse, and decided to go to Cao Cao's place to find excitement.

Even though Zheng Ping briefly explained to him, Li Jin's slightly exaggerated expression did not change at all.

Zheng Ping remembered that when he was in Cao Cao's camp, Li Jin's attitude towards Cao Cao was somewhat vague, so he asked Li Jin, "Do you have a grudge against Cao Cao?"

"Not at all." Li Jin paused, and added, "I just think it's not right based on other people's description."

Seeing that Zheng Ping didn't respond, he asked back: "You and Cao Cao hated each other, why did you go back to Xu County..." Looking for abuse?

Zheng Ping answered logically: "Go back and scold him."

Li Jin: "..."

It turned out that it was not looking for abuse, but abuse in the past.

"Sorry, my awareness is too low..."

After mourning for Cao Cao in his heart, Li Jin made a decision: "I will go with you too."

As if he was afraid that Zheng Ping would misunderstand, he added, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I haven't been to Xu County yet, so I'm just traveling."

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by Cao Sikong?"

"This question is very good - scholars often pretend to be sick and refuse to answer the call. If Cao Cao asks me to conscript, how do you think I should pretend to be sick?"

Hearing this half-joking sentence, Zheng Ping suddenly thought of Sima Yi and his wife whom he had met before.

"crazy."

Li Jin was thinking of common excuses such as "wind chill" and "broken leg", but Zheng Ping suddenly gave him an unusual answer.

Not only that, but the other party also helped him perfect the script, "Crying and laughing, unkempt, and seeing Cao Cao, he picked up a pole and beat him up. After three times, Cao Cao should withdraw the order of expropriation."

Hearing this, Li Jin couldn't help touching his neck: "You think my neck is too strong, so you want Cao Cao to cut it down for me."

That being said, when Zheng Ping returned to Xudu, Li Jin temporarily joined the Han family as a doorman, accompanied him in the name of a swordsman, and met Cao Cao together.

Recently, several highly talented Fus appeared in Xudu, signed "Han Heng".Cao Cao read these widely circulated Huafu, and when he was tempted, he received a letter of greeting from Han Heng.

He was overjoyed, and walked backwards to meet him. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he wished he could take his feet back immediately.
