Chapter 406: Guo Jia's Death (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Wang Xiao didn't go directly to learn the bow of the Chu Overlord, that was because a beautiful and intelligent woman like Zhen Mi couldn't swallow dates.
During the days when he lived in Yecheng, Wang Xiao would come to Zhen Mi to talk to him after handling military affairs every day.
It's all skills that have been cultivated all year round, talking about poetry, playing the piano and painting together.
Over there, Cao Pi felt that the opportunity had come, and followed Cao Cao around every day. Learn how to deal with everything, and give advice.
Regardless of whether the suggestion was useful or not, at least it achieved an impression score in front of Cao Cao.
During this period of time, with Cao Cao's troops coming to Hebei, a large number of talents came to defect, not to mention, but also seized a large amount of materials and hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers.
Cao Cao was complacent and felt that he had become the first person in the world.
Wang Xiao watched coldly from the sidelines, feeling that he had gradually moved towards the realm that Yuan Shao had floated before.
There is one thing that Wang Xiao has always been puzzled about.
Obviously, Cai Lun has already improved the production process of paper a hundred years ago, so that the quality of paper has been greatly improved, and it can completely replace bamboo slips as the most important text recording tool.
But why are people here still using bamboo slips in large quantities?
Simple and convenient, light and thin and can record a lot of words, the price and cost of the paper is not too high, isn't it fragrant?
Cao Pi's performance is getting better and better, but Wang Xiao is intoxicated with beauty every day.
The generals and strategists in Cao's army have different views on this.
Some people think that Wang Xiao is not enterprising, maybe this is the end. Many people began to gradually move closer to Cao Pi.
And Guo Jiaman's pet and other strategists can see it clearly.
Wang Xiao is not indulging in the beauty country, he is doing it on purpose.
As for the reason, of course, it is because of the performance that has been too good during this time.
Literature can be exported into chapters, and there is no political country that will not.
Among the ten thousand armies of Wu Neng, he took the rank of general, and he knew that the battlefield situation could accurately find out where the winner and loser were.
Even, many of Cao Cao's subordinates have begun to move closer to him. Prepare to burn the stove in advance.
Wen Taowu is so good, among Cao Cao's sons, he is as conspicuous as the proud tree.
The problem is that Cao Cao has not yet reached his twilight years. It is still ambitious to dominate the world, and it is time to be full of energy.
Wang Xiao's performance is too eye-catching, which will make Cao Cao, who is very suspicious, gradually begin to suppress.
It may not be guarded against, but a period of cold reception is inevitable.
At this time, Wang Xiao chose to take the initiative to defile himself and gradually reduce his influence, which could effectively alleviate Cao Cao's suspicions.
Cao Cao methodically pacified the land of Hebei. The lands of Qing, Hebei, You, and Sizhou north of the Great River gradually fell into his hands.
Just when everyone in Cao Cao was cheering, Guo Jia, the most important strategist around Cao Cao, fell ill.
Wang Xiao diagnosed him, he was poisoned by heavy metals, and Wang Xiao couldn't save his life.
Guo Jia has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and his mother asked Fang Shi to treat him with alchemy.
Later, Guo Jia himself also learned the art of alchemy, and took pills for many years, which eventually led to incurable heavy metal poisoning.
Alchemy was very popular in these days, and no one knew that taking too many pills would lead to poisoning.
So although he was the youngest of Cao Cao's advisors, he was the first to die.
"Bong-hyo." Cao Cao held Guo Jia's hand in front of the sickbed, and his eyes were really sad with tears.
Guo Jia's role was too great, and he was extremely loyal to Cao Cao.
Now that such a loyal and capable courtier is dying, Cao Cao is jealous of his talent.
"The minister has a few heartfelt words that I want to tell the lord." Guo Jia looked sideways at Wang Xiao and the others behind Cao Cao, "Please retreat left and right." ”
Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Wang Xiao and them all to go out, "Fengxiao, you say, I listen." ”
Wang Xiao took a deep look at this world-famous strategist and knew that he was going to be on his deathbed. After saying goodbye to him in my heart, I turned around and walked out.
"The remnants of the Yuan family are not worried, and it is the general trend for the Lord to determine Hebei. Only the Southern Sun family and Jingzhou Liu Biao can be the main public rivals. If you want to deal with these two people, you must first train as a water master before you can go south. ”
"Okay, when the little cubs of the Yuan family are destroyed, I will dig the Xuanwu Pond to train the water army."
Guo Jia coughed, "The lord is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the matter of the prince must be decided first." Even if you don't have a son for the time being, you must have a candidate in your heart. Otherwise, the disaster of Yuan Shao's sons is just around the corner. ”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "Feng Xiao, who does he think can be the prince?" ”
Under normal circumstances, Guo Jia would never take the initiative to get involved in this kind of thing.
But now he is dying soon, and he is on his deathbed. That's naturally unscrupulous.
"Zihuan's son is smart and sensitive, but he attaches too much importance to the art of power and scheming, and he has no room for people in his heart. If he inherits the throne in the future, the sons of the lord are afraid that they will die and have no place to be buried. ”
Cao Cao's breathing was slightly heavy, and he didn't say a word and waited for Guo Jia to continue.
"Ziwen Gongzi is extremely brave and brave, and he can be a fierce general. But there is no talent and virtue to govern the world. ”
"As for Zijian Gongzi."
Speaking of Wang Xiao, Guo Jia paused and carefully recalled Wang Xiao's performance in these days. He took a deep breath before speaking again.
"Zijian Gongzi is rich in learning, and he is bold and bold. It is also the first class in the world. Regardless of the power strategy, military strategy, and the management of the country is hard to believe. At least when the minister is like Zijian Gongzi's age, there is no such talent. ”
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and stroked his short beard, "What does Fengxiao mean, Lizi is built as the son?" ”
Guo Jia did not hesitate at all, and nodded vigorously, "You must establish a son and build a son as the son, otherwise you will have to kill him first." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Guo Jia gasped and explained, "If Zihuan's son is on the throne, he will inevitably kill each other." Zijian Gongzi has a tough heart and outstanding ability. I will definitely not sit idly by and watch the sword add to my body, and then it will be a cruel chaos. ”
Guo Fengxiao's meaning is very simple. Wang Xiao's ability is too good, and his heart is definitely very comparable.
If he is not the son of the world, then when Cao Cao dies, he will inevitably raise an army to seize the throne. At that time, it will be a reenactment of Yuan Shao's sons killing each other.
And at that time, Cao Pi had great righteousness in hand and strong strength. But Wang Xiao is outstandingly capable, and the result of the two sides being almost evenly matched is the complete annihilation of Cao Wei's hegemony.
If you don't want to make Wang Xiao the prince, then in order to avoid future dangers, you have to get rid of him first.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Feng Xiaoke, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Guo Jia looked at him with red eyes: "If the lord is undecided, you can ask Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan, and if you are undecided about foreign affairs, you can ask Xun Yu and Cheng Yu." With their help, it is not difficult for the Lord to determine the world fairly. ”
"And one last thing. The lord should pay attention to Sima Yi, this person is deep in thought, if he can't ambush this person for the lord's use, he should be punished. If he serves the lord, and the prince is the son of the prince, he should be punished. If it is a son who builds a son as the son of the world, it doesn't matter. Zijian Gongzi is enough to suppress his people. ”
"My lord, the minister is gone."
Cao Cao held his hand, his eyes tearful, and he looked up and shouted, "God is jealous of talents!" ”
From the beginning of the army, although Cao Cao suffered many setbacks, it has always been smooth.
And it was from Guo Jia's death that Cao Cao gradually slipped from the peak.
In a world without Wang Xiao, Cao Cao failed to go south and had to divide the world into three parts.
After that, Cao Pi's family was not as good as the next generation, and was finally taken away by the Sima family.
The origin of everything lies in Guo Jia's death too early.
If he can live like Jia Xu, Sima Yi will not have the slightest chance at all.
This is a smart man who can see through almost all intrigues.
If he was in the Battle of Chibi, even if he couldn't cross the river because the sailor couldn't do it, he would definitely not be defeated.
Cao Cao was depressed for a few days, and then summoned Wang Xiao.
"Do you know the duties of the school office?"
Wang Xiao nodded, "The school government supervises hundreds of officials, it is the eyes, the ears, and the hands." ”
Cao Cao tightened his wide sleeves, "The school office has always been in charge of Fengxiao, and he has done a good job." Now that he is gone, who do you think in the court can succeed Feng Xiao and take charge of the school for me? ”
Wang Xiao took a step forward and bowed, "The last general is willing to share his worries for Sikong." ”
Cao Cao looked at him sideways, "The beauty who won't accompany you anymore?" ”
Wang Xiao saluted again, "Father's business is more important than everything. ”
Reaching out to pick up the school office token on the desk, Cao Cao threw the token to Wang Xiao, "Take it, go and do what Fengxiao didn't finish first." ”
Guo Jia was ordered to hunt down and kill the Yuan Shang brothers, but they died of illness before they could catch up.
Cao Cao was unwilling to let go of these two scourges with influence in the Hebei provinces, and he wanted to destroy them no matter what.
"Command."
At this time, among Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan had already died in the battle of Nanpi. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong and defected to the command of Sun Kang, the Taishou Gong of Liaodong.
In the Three Kingdoms era, when heroes and heroes emerged one after another, Sun Kang, the Taishou Gong of Liaodong, was a very inconspicuous figure.
Even, many people don't know about him.
Because of the same surname as Gongsun, many people regard him as Gongsun Zhan's brother and uncle, and even the figure of his nephews.
In fact, the people are from Xuansu County, and the location is roughly in the area from Changbai Mountain to the Whale Sea.
And Xuansu County is one of the four counties established there after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Manchurian Dynasty.
In this era, the country of sticks was actually the territory of China.
The so-called scholars of the stick country in later generations were so happy, but they never dared to really face history. The reason is that everyone knows what is going on in history, and they dare not face it.
Gongsun Kang seems to be mediocre, but in fact, he is famous in Liaodong.
Hundreds of years later, Goguryeo, which forced several generations of emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties to be destroyed at any cost, was finally destroyed by Gongsun Kang, and even its capital was broken by Gongsun Kang.
Those bull X's boasted by the sticks will make people's stomachs ache with laughter as long as they turn over the history books.
Wang Xiao didn't need to chase and kill, when the army was in Liaodong County, Gongsun Kang directly killed the Yuan Xi brothers and gave their heads to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who finally pacified the Hebei regions, returned to the dynasty as a victor.
