Chapter 102: Guo Jia's Decision
"Gongtai, I haven't seen you for a long time, is it okay now?"
Standing in front of Guo Jia was a middle-aged scribe with a fair face, a three-inch short beard under his chin, and a light blue robe, who was standing at the door looking at Guo Jia with a smile on his face.
This middle-aged scribe named Chen Gong, was originally the county order of Zhongmu County, that day Cao Cao intended to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a knife, after the inaction, Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang, and was captured by the county order of Zhongmu County. thought that Cao Cao was a benevolent and righteous man, so he wanted to follow, and he didn't want Cao Cao to kill Lu Bohao's family by mistake and did not repent, which exposed his wolf nature. Subsequently, the middle-aged scribe left Cao Cao and prepared to return to his hometown.
"What I learned in my heart can't be put into practice, what does Feng Xiao think?"
Chen Gong's face was gloomy, and he asked Guo Jia rhetorically.
Looking at the public platform, it seems to have an understanding. ”
Guo Jia said with a chuckle, and then welcomed Chen Gong into the room, and the two sat facing each other. Chen Gong looked worried, Guo Jia didn't urge, and drank by himself.
"Hey!"
After a long time, Chen Gong let out a long sigh and seemed to wake up from his contemplation. Seeing Guo Jia drinking wine alone, Chen Gong glared, without saying a word, picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass himself.
"Brother Gongtai, you released Cao Cao privately that day, and then you were wanted by Dong Zhuo, why aren't you by Cao Cao's side now?"
Seeing that Chen Gong was no longer as depressed as he was just now, Guo Jia finally asked the doubts in his heart. The two were originally studying at Yingchuan Academy, and they were also close friends, and they often exchanged letters. At that time, the notice that Chen Gong was wanted was posted everywhere, and Guo Jia naturally saw it. It stands to reason that Cao Cao united with the princes to discuss Dong, and Chen Gong was not by Cao Cao's side, so it can be seen that something happened.
"I'd rather be responsible for the world than teach the world to bear me! Fengxiao, what do you think of this sentence?"
Chen Gong didn't answer Guo Jia's words, but muttered something instead.
Guo Jia savored for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If you are an ordinary person, you can say such a sentence, it can be seen that you are a selfish person, and if you are a superior person, you must be a heroic figure." ”
"Feng Xiao is really smart, this is exactly what Cao Cao said. ”
As he spoke, Chen Gong told Cao Cao about Cao Cao's treatment of Lu Bohao, and seeing Chen Gong's slightly angry look, it was obvious that he was not satisfied with Cao Cao's approach.
Guo Jia took a lazy sip of wine, and said indifferently: "Those who achieve great things should not hesitate to do small things, Cao Cao is really good at doing this." If we don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Lu Boyu will attract officers and soldiers, and without Cao Cao's initiation, how can the princes of the 18th Route come to discuss Dong today? Maybe you think that Cao Cao's approach is wrong, but as far as I am concerned, his approach is the most correct choice. ”
"Bong filial piety to you..."
Chen Gong suddenly stood up from his position and looked at Guo Jia with an incredulous expression, he didn't seem to expect Guo Jia to say such a thing.
"Haha!"
Suddenly, Chen Gong stroked his palms and laughed, with tears in his smile, "In the past, when you were studying in the academy, your reputation for filial piety was widely spread. Everyone knows that you Guo Fengxiao has armor in his belly, and he wants to seek Mingjun to show what he has learned. I, Chen Gong, also know that I am not as good as you Guo Fengxiao, and I admire you very much, even if many children of the Shi family look down on your character. However, today I know a little bit, maybe my intelligence is not as good as yours, but I have a lower limit, but you have no lower limit. As the so-called Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, and say goodbye. ”
After speaking, Chen Gong arched his hand and walked out of Guo Jia's courtyard. Guo Jia knew that after Chen Gong stepped out of the house, the two of them broke off their relationship.
In the original history, when Chen Gong came to Yingchuan, it was when Guo Jia went to Yuan Shao, so the two could not see each other. However, perhaps because of Yuan Chang's arrival, time and space were a little confused, Guo Jia went to Yuan Shao in advance, and Chen Gong also saw Guo Jia.
"Am I wrong?"
Guo Jia looked uninhibited, and he was suspended in the air, and he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart? But was he really wrong? Without Cao Cao's character, how could he achieve great things? Just like Yuan Shao of the Yuan family who was the third prince of the fourth world, he was indecisive, even if he became the leader of the alliance, could he achieve great things?
For himself, a person like Cao Cao may be able to display his talents. But why does a figure keep flashing in my mind, and why is this?
"Girl, I've listened to it for so long, and I haven't come in yet. ”
Guo Yu, who was hiding outside the house and eavesdropping, couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard Guo Jia's words, but she still walked into the house obediently and hung her head silently. Of course, Guo Yu could also see that Guo Jia was not in a very good mood at this time.
"Yu'er, do you think it's better to follow a selfish hero, or to follow someone who has the world in mind?"
Guo Jia slowly poured the wine into his mouth, as if asking Guo Yu, but as if he was talking to himself.
Guo Yu, as Guo Jia's younger sister, naturally knows that his elder brother is rich and full of strategy, and he has always wanted to find Mingjun to show his ability. She also understood what Chen Gong and Guo Jia said just now, maybe what she said would affect Guo Jia's choice.
"Brother, whether it is a selfish person or a person who has a heart for the world, as long as he can let his brother show what he has learned, it is enough. As for being able to make contributions, it's not that important, as long as my brother can be happy, Yu'er will be happy. Yu'er just wants to tell her brother that she will follow her feelings, whether it is right or wrong, she will not regret it!"
"Hehe, follow your feelings..."
Another full glass of wine was poured into his mouth, Guo Jia's face was ruddy, and he seemed to be drunk. Repeating what Guo Yu said in a low voice, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Brother, no matter what choice you have, Yu'er will support you!"
Helping Guo Jia to the couch, Guo Yu looked at Guo Jia, who had closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and said firmly. Maybe what she said just now will make Guo Jia choose a selfish hero, and maybe there will be countless infamy in the future, but she doesn't care, Guo Jia will always be her brother, this is enough!
After Guo Yu left for a long time, Guo Jia, who was lying quietly on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling without focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Go with the feeling... Hmph, I'll see what you do. ”
After speaking, Guo Jia closed his eyes, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was much more relaxed after many days of smugness.
