[Three Kingdoms] The daily struggle of female counsellors

Red candles flickered, and the drizzle slanted horizontally.

Lu Bu was sitting on the floor in the tent, holding a white piece in his hand, obviously playing chess, but his eyes fell on the young man in dark clothes and jade belt opposite.

Although it is the turn of spring and summer, the rainy night is still a bit cold.Seeing that the other party was wearing thin clothes, Lu Bu smiled disdainfully, and said insinuatingly, "Guo Lang asked to see him late at night, why?"

Since Guo Jin went to Yanzhou with Cao Song not long ago and did not make any announcements, Lu Bu did not know that Guo Jin was being used by Cao Cao. In his eyes, Guo Jin was still a rural idler working in Xuzhou. A young man with no shame in his face.

Seeing that Lu Bu was still in good spirits and with an extraordinary appearance, Guo Jin didn't mind his dry tone, so he just said in a mysterious way: "Save you".

"Save me?" Lu Bu smiled instead of anger.

I depended on this person, and I was almost killed by Dong Zhuo in the early years, and now I am in full swing, planning to take over the whole of Yanzhou in one fell swoop, at such a bright moment, it is a matter of attachment, it is really boring to use life-saving as a gimmick very.

Guo Jin raised her eyebrows and nodded, her expression calm as usual.

Such a confident attitude made Lu Bu slightly flustered, after all, he was not going well this year.

First, under the guise of Captain Zhang Kai's pretext of escorting Cao Song across the border to plunder supplies and belongings, Cao Cao labeled Tao Qian as an unsuccessful murderer of his father, and personally issued a call to crusade against Xuzhou.I heard that the essay was wonderful, and it was written by Xi Zhicai, a counselor under his command, after he was drunk.

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the people in Xuzhou were shocked three times a day, and Tao Qian even gathered the elites of Xuzhou to discuss how to deal with Cao's army.

This is something that I can't even fight with myself, but when the crane and the clam compete, it is still the fisherman's profit in the end.I had offended Yuan Shao, and I was terrified of this person's pursuit and interception, but when I passed Chen Liu, Zhang Miaojing, the prefect of Chen Liu, welcomed him warmly and gave him great hospitality.

Taking advantage of Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou, Zhang Miao directly invited himself to join the uprising, starting with Puyang, quickly occupied the entire territory of Yanzhou, and wanted to support himself as Yanzhou pastor.This was simply a huge temptation, and Lu Bu agreed directly without even thinking about it.

Not only that, Xu Shi himself had a great reputation for punishing Dong. Once there was an incident, the governors of several counties in Yanzhou responded in groups.That Cao thief tree fell down and the monkeys scattered, his destiny was like this, and he was about to experience the joy of leapfrogging and clearing the level.

Seeing that Lu Bu was thinking, Guo Jin calmly brushed off the ashes from the corner of his clothes, and asked with a soul: "The general thinks that Zhang Miao, as the prefect of Chenliu, has a crowd of [-], and he has Chen Gong and others." People enthusiastically support, the master of Yanzhou, how come it is the turn of the general again?"

Lu Bu was obviously at a loss for words. After all, given the accidental acquaintance between him and Zhang Miao, it would be hard for him to believe that the other party admired his own strength and talent.Could it be that, as Guo Jin said, the other party just used his prestige to win the territory of Yanzhou, and then let go of the grind and kill the donkey?

Lu Bu was hesitant, but obediently silenced, motioning Guo Jin to continue the analysis.

Guo Jin asked again: "Think about it again, general, if Cao Cao intends to set up a situation and plan to cooperate with the outside world to catch the turtle in the urn, what are the chances of the general winning?"

Lu Bu's face became even uglier.

Guo Jin smiled and comforted him: "Jin has a plan. Not only can he get the general out of the stalemate, but he can also take Xuzhou into his pocket."

"Xuzhou?" Lu Bu obviously didn't follow Guo Jin's train of thought.

Just as Guo Jin was about to explain, Lu Bu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Even so, why did Guo Lang help me?"

After all, when he dragged himself into the water, the other party didn't even blink his eyes.

Guo Jin was possessed behind the shadows, and when he heard this, he was so sad that he choked up and couldn't speak.

Lu Bu couldn't see the sadness of the pretty little brother, even if he was annoying, so he hurriedly took out the snow-white scarf from his arms and stuffed it into Guo Jin's hands unnaturally.

Guo Jin smiled gratifiedly: "Jin Su has always pursued the way of a gentleman, and never dared to harm others. If it weren't for the evil deeds of Dong Bandit back then, besides General Shenwu, who else in the world could take on this important task?"

Seeing that Lu Bu nodded in agreement, Guo Jin continued: "At the beginning, Jin wanted to use the power of the general to get rid of the world's worst villain, so that the general could become famous in the world and wash away the grievances of being under Dong Zhuo's command for many years. for many years."

Lu Bu felt that his eloquence was really weak. If he let the other party continue, he would probably kneel down and thank the other party for giving him this great opportunity to kill the national traitor last time.

Lu Bu returned to the theme again: "Don't look into the past, what did Guo Lang just say about Xuzhou?"

Guo Jin wiped away the few tears she had shed, and continued: "Cao Cao is a treacherous and cunning man. Even if he occupies the whole of Yanzhou at this time, if Cao Cao counterattacks in an all-round way, the general will not hold out for long. What's more, there are three cities that have yet to be conquered. , if Cao Cao really has a plan to lure the enemy in, isn't the general looking for his own death?"

"In contrast, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is old and sick, and his son has no talent. From now on, the master of Xuzhou will definitely not be a member of the Tao family. If the general takes advantage of the defeat in the name of defeat, he takes the opportunity to defect, and when Tao Qian is seriously ill and Xuzhou is in chaos, isn't he a general? When is it time to turn the tide?"

Lu Bu was thinking very seriously, while Guo Jin held his chess calmly and calmly. The young general on the opposite side nodded first, then frowned slightly, as if he still had doubts.

His voice was full of temptations and doubts that could not be ignored: "Why should I believe you?"

Why should I trust you who come and go without a trace?

Guo Jin knew that Lv Bu was suspicious, so he laid down his pawn and said decisively: "From today on, Jin has dedicated himself to serving the general, and will live and die with the general from now on, can you believe it?"

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs.Guo Jin feels that her current life is much more exciting than spy movies.

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, seeing that Guo Jin didn't mean to be joking, so he asked back in disbelief: "Is it true?"

Guo Jin threw down the package she was carrying, "How?"

It was only then that Lu Bu found a treasure, and immediately arranged a camp for Guo Jin.

Guo Jin suggested that when Lu Bu attacked Juancheng tomorrow, he should not resist stubbornly. When encountering the enemy, he would pretend to be defeated and flee to the east, and quickly went to Xuzhou to join Tao Qian.Lu Bu responded kindly, and held Guo Jin's hand to discuss with her some matters concerning Zhang Miao's Chen Palace, and then returned to the main tent full of satisfaction.

After Lu Bu left, Guo Jin's heart sank.

In fact, Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou was just for show. She imitated Dong Zhuo's tricks when he was stationed in Luoyang, and suggested that Cao Cao release the soldiers in the city in batches and on a daily basis. In the evening, he disguised himself and returned to the city.After repeating this for several days, it was possible to make the illusion that the Yanzhou garrison was empty.

In order to have a better performance, Boss Cao put on his armor and went into battle directly, leading Qingqi to attack the border of Xuzhou repeatedly, and there was a tendency for war to start a prairie fire and explode at any moment.

Not only that, she also bought Chen Gong's coachman with a lot of money in advance, and only let him pay attention to Chen Gong's traces. Waiting for someone, just find someone to bring a pot of plum wine, and deliver it to your house in person.

Sure enough, Cao Cao "sent troops" for more than a month, and Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others were ready to move, intending to conspire to rebel and welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou.

Guo Jin didn't know where Chen Gong's hostility towards Cao Cao came from. After all, this person was one of Cao Cao's heroes who won Yanzhou, but people's hearts are changeable. How can we find absolute loyalty in troubled times?

It was precisely because of this that Guo Jin considered it a good time to go to see Lu Bu in person.

Fortunately, when Lu Bu saw the "Guo Jin's head" at the place where he paid his respects, he didn't drive him out of the tent directly, but sent someone to cook tea and play chess, and sat in front of each other.

That's how we had the conversation just now.

If Lu Bu is unwilling, there will be a more dangerous hell waiting for him tomorrow.If Lu Bu is willing, he can use this to return to Xuzhou, and through Lu Bu's hands, he can take over the entire Xuzhou territory for Boss Cao.

In any case, his plan was half successful.

The next day, Lu Bu followed his plan.

He pretended to refuse at first, but after he made the decision himself, when Zhang Miao and others had all entered the city, Lu Bu directly abandoned his armor and led his troops to flee, heading towards Xuzhou day and night.

Zhang Miao and others entered the city, but they didn't see Lu Bu's support. They knew that they had fallen for the enemy's plan to invite the king into the urn. They thought about retreating again, but the city gate was closed, and everyone had no way to retreat. Chen Gong was in a state of desperation, and suddenly saw a horrific road on top of the city tower. A familiar middle-aged figure.

That man should have fought bloody battles in Xuzhou, no matter how bad he was, it was impossible for him to rush to help Juancheng so quickly.Could it be...

Could it be that Cao thief had foreseen this point and already knew his and Zhang Miao's rebellious heart?

"How is it possible?" Chen Gong muttered to himself.

The men on the tower obviously lost their patience. They saw the other party's hands rising and falling, and the sea-like crowd suddenly rushed out in all directions. Those soldiers held the Maoge halberds in their hands, and their eyes were bright and bloody when they found their prey.

The surrounding city walls were surrounded by impenetrable bows and crossbowmen. For the first time, Chen Gong felt that he had missed it.

But even if he dies, he will definitely not bow his knees to Cao Aman!

Witnessing the tragic scene of mourners in the city, Cao Cao sighed and turned his back.If he had doubts about Guo Jin's plan at the beginning, now that he learned that Zhang Miao and others jointly rebelled, he couldn't help but feel lucky. If it wasn't for Guo Jin's plan, he would have almost lost Yanzhou.

Cao Cao rubbed the center of his brows, and said to Yu Jin who was quietly standing beside him, "Chen Gong, kill without mercy."

·

The night wind is blowing, and human voices are rustling.

Soldiers kept passing by outside the tent. Guo Jin picked up the brush that was as thin as a silver man, looked at the single piece of silk in front of her, paused at the tip of the brush, and still silently put it away.

Holding her chin with both hands, Guo Jin felt that her elder brother was definitely going to be angry with her. Who told her to re-enter Xuzhou on her own initiative without saying a word, it was inevitable that her elder brother would be angry. It's just that this new hatred is added to the old hatred, so don't get angry The body is.

Guo Jin stretched her waist, only to feel some unbearable pain in her lumbar spine, so she quickly resigned herself to getting up and crawled back to the couch, intending to rest for a while.But the moment Guo Jin got up, she suddenly felt an unusual cold light.

Guo Jin's heart trembled, and she tilted her head almost reflexively.

Fuck, someone hid in this tent in advance, waiting for the opportunity to take his own life, right?

Guo Jin leaned close to the tent, groping for some sharp weapon and heavy object with both hands, and quickly moved towards the door one at a time.The other party immediately saw her intentions, but within a short time, the other party had already cut off Guo Jin's way, and then slashed down with the knife, bringing a gust of cool wind with the blade. Hit right on the head.

Feeling grateful for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, Guo Jin felt that there was probably only one way to save herself from being completely passive due to the lack of weapons.

Thinking of this, Guo Jin screamed in the eyes of the other party who was gradually terrified: "Help!"

The other party was obviously enraged by Guo Jin, as if he was afraid of being noticed by others, the assassin held a knife in his right hand, and pulled out a sharp dagger in his left hand at the speed of light, and then blocked Guo Jin's way with his speed advantage.

Seeing that the other party's shiny blade was about to kiss her belly, Guo Jin felt that someone had pulled her, and then she wrapped herself tightly in her arms, leaving the other party with no protection. Measure the back.

Seeing the crowds of soldiers pouring in at the door, and even hearing the proud long hiss of the red rabbit horse, Chen Gong felt that this should be the first time he was so impulsive, right?

I had already shed my golden cicada shell, put my armor on to my cronies, and then quietly changed into Cao Jun's military uniform.He had already sneaked into Cao Cao's army, and he should take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city and save his life.

But after hearing what Guo Lang said in the army, he suddenly felt that he was unwilling. He was unwilling that he had never seen this person who had calculated himself to such a situation before he died.

So he tried his best to catch up with the remnants of Lv Bu. He had declared his determination to die, but he still failed in the end. Just when he was about to succeed, his plan was destroyed by an unremarkable soldier.

In Lu Bu's army, there are such generals who sacrifice themselves for others?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Gong hurriedly withdrew and retreated, but at the entrance of the camp, Lu Bu shot an arrow through his heart from a hundred meters away, and died of suffocation.

Guo Jin didn't have time to pay attention to the assassin's movements, and she didn't have time to listen to why the soldiers around her were so emotional. She only knew that wherever her palm touched, there was sticky blood, which trickled continuously, as if it would never dry up.

Guo Jin panicked, she didn't want to owe the lives of others, so she could only call others to get some gauze and wound medicine for the march, while supporting the other person's body wobbled, and placed him properly on the couch.

Guo Jin's palms were hot and sweaty. Seeing that the other party seemed to be uncomfortable, Guo Jin hurriedly took off the iron helmet on the other party's head, and straightened the man's slightly messy hair.

Staring at the other person's high nose bridge, tightly closed eyes, and those seemingly cool red lips, Guo Jin felt that her throat was extremely dry. She tried her best to hold back, but she still couldn't hold back the fierce tears in her eyes. Tears just fell down between the opponent's sleeves like this.

"You...why are you here?"
