Chapter Twenty-Eight: Abandoning Yuan and Surrendering to Cao
Three months later, Guo Jia left Yuan Shao's command with 500 guards.
Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and personally led his subordinates Yan Liang, the second general Wen Chou, and the military frustration and others, and personally led 10,000 iron cavalry to pursue Guo Jia, Guo Jia was caught up in Baimajin, but at that time, Guo Jia had already taken his personal guards to the boat prepared in advance, and Yuan Shao's 10,000 iron cavalry could not cross on the shore.
Guo Jia's clothes fluttered, his hands behind his back, and the wind blew his long hair in a shawl.
"Guo Fengxiao! Yuan asked himself if he treated you well! Why are you leaving? Yuan Shao turned over and dismounted on the shore, and roared angrily at Guo Jia, who had not gone far.
Guo Jia smiled coldly and replied, "You never really trusted me. Just for those ridiculous faces, suspicious of me, suppressing me? Also, compared to a humble scholar like me, you care more about those children of the scholarly family, and you are not the master in my heart at all. ”
Yuan Shao said in his mouth: "Lonely is not the master? Who in the world is better than loneliness? ”
"He, Cao Mengde, is several times better than you!"
"How can Ah Pu Xiao'er compete with me!"
"Wen Taowuluo, what point do you compare to him! Thou art a man, with great ambition and small wisdom, strong and timid, jealous and less powerful, many soldiers and unclear divisions, arrogant and inconsistent government orders, although the land is vast and the food is abundant, it is suitable for the service of others. ”
Yuan Shao said angrily: "Do you really think that the martial arts under my command have no ability to know the master? It's just that I'm hiding too deeply. ”
"In the past, if Gu didn't let He Jin summon Dong Zhuo, how could he be in charge of 100,000 male soldiers today! Lone is a dragon who took advantage of the wind and rain brought by Dong Zhuo! ”
"Cao Mengde was chasing Dong Zhuo alone, but he didn't know that he should take advantage of the victory to chase and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! But Gu knew that the Xiliang Army would definitely set up an ambush, not to mention what if Dong Zhuo was destroyed? If Dong Zhuo dies, there will be the next 'Dong Zhuo', the world is already in chaos! Instead of changing to a potentially more powerful enemy, it is better to continue to let this old and deaf Dong Zhuo continue to exist, so as to buy time for the lonely Hebei to dominate! ”
"Also, there are many factions under the lonely command, if there are no checks and balances, will it have to be chaotic! Lone knows that you have a genius, it is okay to be arrogant, and you are not angry when you are detached from the world, but you can't challenge Lone's authority, if Lone does not punish you, the rest of the civil and military will follow suit, you are a cloth cloth, not to be afraid, but what if it is the Hebei Hao family? What should the Yingchuan Hao family do like this? What about this lonely lord! ”
Guo Jia was a little shocked when he heard it.
Is this still the mediocre Yuan Shao?
History, as expected, is recorded by the victors.
"Yuan Benchu, it seems that not only I have underestimated you, but also the people of the world have underestimated you." Guo Jia shook his head.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." Yuan Shao said again: "Strong guests do not suppress the lord, and if I show weakness and others, it will be easier for me to achieve my Wang Tu hegemony, why not?" ”
Yuan Shao said: "The wish of Lone in this life, wave millions of troops to sweep the world, and establish the immortal emperor hegemony of the Lone Yuan family, Shaohua has passed away, Shao is nearly half a hundred years old, I am afraid that in the future, I will not be able to see the day when the world returns to the heart of the four seas, if you help me, maybe Lone will see that day." ”
Guo Jia smiled self-deprecatingly, this blow was a bit big, and he also had times when he looked at the wrong person.
"That's it, this time it's me Guo Fengxiao who lost, I mistook you Yuan Benchu. But now that I'm gone, there's no way I'll ever come back. If I depart, I will be your fierce enemy. ”
"If there is no opponent in life, wouldn't it be lonely." Yuan Shao smiled, and suddenly felt that Guo Jia's departure didn't seem so uncomfortable for him, "But Cao Cao's soldiers are not more than 10,000, but he is in the Central Plains, surrounded by tigers and wolves, and it is difficult to protect himself, Gu is very curious, how do you want to help him achieve hegemony." ”
Guo Jia knew that what Yuan Shao said was true, not to mention the Three Kingdoms, throughout thousands of years of history, the only one who rose in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains and achieved hegemony was Cao Cao.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "If you really have such courage, then give me some time, Jia Zi should lead the army and fight with the river bank and Jun." ”
Yuan Shao said: "Within five years, Qiu did not commit any crimes. If you are defeated by Lone, you Guo Fengxiao will return to Lone's side and serve Lone wholeheartedly! If he, Cao Mengde, doesn't dislike it, Gu doesn't mind accepting him. If Lone is defeated, Lone will serve him Cao Mengde! ”
"A gentleman's word."
"It's hard to chase a horse."
"Ming Gong, I'm sorry! Bonghyo is kowtowing here! ”
Guo Jia knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Shao on the shipboard, which is the biggest etiquette in this era.
Guo Jia finally felt guilty about Yuan Shao in his heart.
Yuan Shao waved his hand, "Sit alone and wait for Fengxiao to return to Lone's side." ”
In the spring of the third year of Chuping (192 AD), Guo Jia ran away, and the world was shocked!
Cao Cao and Xun Yu went out of Chen and stayed thirty miles to greet each other.
That night, the three of them talked until dawn.
When Cao Cao left, he said to his attendants, "Whoever helps someone win the world must also be this person!" ”
Guo Jia also sighed with emotion: "This is really my lord." ”
Well, in fact, the real situation is that Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Xun Yu talked about the general trend of the world while drinking, and Guo Jia put down the two of them alone, so they didn't come out until dawn.
And then because Guo Jia is an alcoholic like Cao Cao, and they both love Du Kang, and they like to write poetry from time to time (Author: Do you know how to write poetry?). Isn't it just a copyist! ), coupled with Guo Jia's talent, Cao Cao loved it, so he worshiped Guo Jia in public as a military advisor.
Everyone had the experience of being slapped in the face by Xun Yu and Xun You, coupled with Guo Jian's Nanpi battle and Jieqiao's actions to turn the tide, everyone also respected Guo Jia very much, without the slightest disrespect.
Guo Jia and Cao Cao also made it clear that he didn't want to admit the master, but just wanted to be Cao Cao's confidant and help Cao Cao unify the world.
Later, Cao Cao also introduced his civil and military team to Guo Jia.
In fact, in Guo Jia's view, although Cao Cao's background is not as good as Yuan Shao's, his team is really not inferior to Yuan Shao, and even surpasses it.
Among the civil officials, Xun Yu is in charge of internal affairs, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Liu Ye and others are in charge of the military, and they are in charge of the prison, and there are Xun Yan, Zao Qi, Han Hao, Mao Jie, Lu Qian and others under his command.
Among the generals, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Li Gan, and Li Dian can either charge on the battlefield or lead an army alone.
It can even be said that Cao Cao's team is much stronger than Yuan Shao.
Now with Guo Jia's joining and Guo Jia's side of Dian Wei, there are so many virtuous ministers and good generals, why worry about the great cause!
"Jiasheng is lazy, has no ambitions, does not want high-ranking officials and generous people, leans towards the government and the opposition, and does not want family wealth, wealth and glory, what he wants is just a place to stand, if he can send affection and between the mountains and rivers, and can show what he has learned in his chest is better. If Meng De can return the world to peace, then Guo has no regrets even if he dies. ”
Guo Jia's words made all the civil and military forces around Cao Cao lose the last trace of estrangement towards Guo Jia, especially the Xiahou family and the Cao family, the brothers of Cao Cao's own family, who were even more convinced of Guo Jia.
——————————————————————————————————————————
The first few chapters of this chapter will be a little watery, but it is also a transitional plot, and it will be weird to delete it, please forgive me.
Some people will say that I wrote Yuan Shao too well, but who knows that this is not the real Yuan Shao? How can the lord who can dominate one side in history be a fool? He may have shortcomings, but he definitely has the advantages that can make his subordinates surrender. So next, other people, including Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu, I will write carefully and show their powerful side.
Also, I know that many people will say that they don't like anyone, who they don't like, who they think is bad, and say that Lu Bu's three surnames are slaves or others, but they are just trying to survive. History, there is no right or wrong. As in our lives, there is no right or wrong, only purpose. When you understand that there is no right or wrong in history, you can really get started.
By the way, the reason why I don't like to put these words in the words of the writer is because I know that many people don't read from the starting point, even if they read pirated editions, they are also my book friends (of course, I am happier to read the genuine version and vote for recommendation and collection), so I wrote these in the text.
