Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 71 The Wise Man in Troubled Times
The quiet tent seemed to isolate all the noise from the outside world, and only the faint sound of water bubbling in the teapot was "gurgling".
A slender white palm held a long-handled spoon and scooped the clear tea into the ear cup, and the faint fragrance of tea immediately diffused.
The curtain was suddenly lifted, and a figure flashed in, sitting unceremoniously opposite the master, looking at the misty teapot with his eyes shining and saying, "It's so fragrant...... it just in time! ”
"General Cao......" The master sighed and put an empty ear cup in front of the uninvited guest, pouring fragrant tea into him: "Although you are the real master, you are too uncourteous!" ”
"Hey, hey!" Cao Cao smiled embarrassedly, he couldn't put it down, picked up the ear cup, sniffed the fragrant fragrance, and said, "It's rude...... Who taught Mr. this tea fragrance to spread far and wide, and it made Cao forget for a while! ”
He said and couldn't wait to take a sip, feeling the fragrance of the tea swirling on the tip of his tongue, and then his mouth was full of fragrance, and he couldn't help blurting out praise: "Good!" Good tea! ”
"The general's mood is the real one, right?" The master said lightly: "Otherwise, on the eve of the big battle under the city, how could there be leisure to come here to beg for tea?" ”
"Cao just received the tip, Yuan Shao didn't know what method to take, he easily sent people to infiltrate the imperial capital, and within two days, the rumors about the Son of Heaven were all ......" Cao Cao said with some eyebrows: "This time, there is a good show to watch!" ”
"Listen to the general...... It seems that he is also skeptical about the truth of today's succession? The master was surprised and said, "So, the general also supports the re-establishment of a royal family member as the new emperor?" ”
"Not exactly!" Cao Cao said calmly: "Cao is really a supporter of Shihou, but unfortunately he is still missing, and I don't know if he is still alive...... After all, Dong Hou was established by Dong Zhuo, whether he was really the blood of the Son of Heaven or not, over time, the Han family would definitely exist in name only. If you want to set things right in the troubled times and truly restore the Han artifact, the only way to do so is to break the old and build the new...... Isn't Emperor Xianguang Wu the best example? ”
"So it sees...... This rumor is precisely catering to the hearts of a considerable number of people represented by the general! The master took a sip of tea. Said thoughtfully: "As for who will be the new monarch in the end, I'm afraid there will still be a battle of interests!" ”
"Mr.'s little friend Guo Jia is indeed a young genius!" Cao Cao patted his thigh and said, "At first, although we heard that he was recommended by Xun Lao, we saw that he was just a young man, and they all had contempt...... However, between the words of this Guo Jia, Yuan Benchu and us were convinced! ”
"Oh!" The master nodded slightly: "Ambition is not old, this little Guo Jia's ability is even impressed by many young talents of the Xun family!" ”
"I heard that Mr. and Guo Jianai are old friends?" Cao Cao said tentatively: "Can you please invite Mr. to come and have a good get-together, so that he can be taught in person!" ”
"You...... Is this to rob people with Yuan Meng? A mocking smile appeared on the master's lips: "I have to remind the general, even you." At present, he is still a subordinate of Yuan Meng's master! This is not a gentleman's doing! ”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Mr. said that he was joking, Cao just likes Guo Jia's talent, how can it be said that he robbed people with Yuan Benchu?" ”
"With the assistance of the subordinates, isn't the general satisfied?" The master said lightly: "Hugh blame is pouring cold water on the general...... But those who claim to be wise are mostly arrogant and conceited people. That Guo Jia has already chosen Yuan Shao, but I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to change his mind! ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is too careful, Cao Cao admires Mr. so much now, why is there any disrespect?" That day, we fought in the mountains. Mr. once advised Cao not to pursue the enemy lightly, but regretted not listening to Mr. 's words, so he was ambushed...... rely on Mr. wholeheartedly, please don't misunderstand Mr. ”
"General Cao's generation of heroes. Now, although it is temporarily under the fence, there will be a day when the clouds will open and see the day! The master said calmly: "At that time, strange people from all over the world came to vote, and the general was afraid that he would be overwhelmed....... but in front of him, the general had to learn a forbearance word!" ”
Cao Cao heard this. Zhengse arched his hand and said: "Teachable!" ......"
Suddenly, someone outside the tent called: "Mr. Xi, Guo Jia, who joined the army under the main account of Yuan League, has sent someone to come, please come out of the camp to watch the enemy's strategy!" ”
The two men in the tent looked at each other. I was stunned. Mr. Naxi frowned and said, "Watching the enemy's decision? The Dong army has been encamped in front for two days, but it has neither fought nor called for battle, and our army has maintained a defensive position without the slightest change...... What kind of enemy is Guo Jia looking for? ”
"The barracks is lonely, and Mr. has a very good relationship with him, I'm afraid that he has come to reminisce about the old days!" Cao Cao smiled and said: "I heard that you used to be friends with the Xun family brothers, and often pointed out the mountains and rivers, and talked about major events in the world, but this time I am afraid that it will be the same, right?" ”
"In the past, the free body can of course be unrestrained!" Mr. Xi had an indifferent look on his face, and he looked at Cao Cao with an inquiring gaze: "In the general's opinion, should you go down?" ”
"Go! Of course you have to go! Cao Cao nodded and said: "It is reasonable, public and private, of course Mr. will go...... And please Mr. on behalf of the exercise, I would like to express my greetings! ”
Mr. Xi stood up, gestured to Cao Cao, and floated out of the tent.
Cao Cao also got up to send him off, and when Mr. Drama came out of the account, he straightened up, and a smile flashed on his face.
Mr. Xi walked slowly all the way, and as soon as he left the camp, he saw Guo Jia's figure on the mound outside the camp.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Guo Jia turned his head and showed a bright smile to Mr. Xi.
"Long time no see! Are you having a good time? He saw Mr. Xi standing side by side with him, turned his head again, and stared at the endless camp of Dong Jun in the distance.
"It's okay!" Mr. Xi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Cao Cao is currently alone and fledgling, it can be said that it is difficult to make achievements, I occasionally give him a pointer, but it is also easy!" ”
"It's you, boy!" His gaze suddenly sharpened: "Suddenly came up with such a bad strategy to throw the city tiger, have you ever informed General Nan in advance?" ”
"Why should you inform him?" Guo Jia said leisurely: "I'm afraid that he will look forward and backward and make a decision, so I helped him make up his mind!" ”
"You're doing it too hastily!" Mr. Xi shook his head and said, "Now our task is just to lurk, waiting for General Nan to wake up...... Such an unscrupulous behind-the-scenes promotion interferes with the process of major events in the current situation, I am afraid that you have misunderstood General Nan's plan! ”
"Come on!" Guo Jia said disapprerovingly: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not granted...... As long as you and I are helping General Nan with a clear conscience. What are there to worry about? ”
"Do you still have a clear conscience? came up with such a vicious rumor, aren't you afraid of losing your life? Mr. Xi poked a finger on Guo Jia's little head: "It's just that you hurt Dong Zhuo, but you also pulled the first emperor and the current son down the fire pit, what are you doing to help General Nan?" ”
"Who said it was a rumor?" Guo Jia said with an innocent face: "What the world doesn't know, is it all rumors?" Maybe I've really got it in my words! ”
"General Nan and the first emperor are friends of life and death, and the brotherhood is ......" Mr. Xi sank his face: "If you plant a fire in the first emperor's harem and ruin his reputation, aren't you afraid that General Nan will trouble you?" ”
"Phew! Only a fool will think of restoring the dignity of the deceased! Guo Jia said disdainfully: "You and I know General Nan's intentions, and he is simply dissatisfied with Dong Hou's succession...... And Shi Hou disappeared mysteriously in the chaotic night when General Nan highlighted Luoyang, I can almost be sure. It must be the means taken by General Nan to protect Shi Hou and not want him to be burdened with the heavy shackles of the Son of Heaven again! ”
"Shi Hou is ...... now," he looked into the distance and said leisurely: "I'm just afraid that under the protection of General Nan's subordinates, let's live happily in a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful!" It's really enviable! ”
"You said that General Nan is also dissatisfied with Dong Hou's succession?" Mr. Xi asked: "Why did you propose to Yuan Shao to set up a Liu clan as the emperor?" ”
"Well, I've really thought about it!" Guo Jia said casually: "If I am not sure that General Nan is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, in fact, he is fully qualified to be the emperor....... have you heard?" Liu Yu has done a lot in Youzhou, but he has harmed the interests of some people! ”
"Who do you mean?" Mr. Xi was stunned.
"At least one person already hates Liu Yu!" Guo Jia said lightly: "That's Gongsun Zhan!" Now he is no longer a small county commander, he is listed as General Fenwu and named Jihou. After Liu Yu arrived, he wooed the aliens. He was quite loved by Qiu Liju and others, but Gongsun Zhan was pushed aside, and his teacher Lu Zhi was also recalled to the imperial capital because he gave way to Liu Yu....... the dispute between the two was almost about to break out! Otherwise, it is such a big deal to discuss Dong. How could he sit idly by? ”
"Then, you will do your best to make Yuan Shao and Liu Yu the emperor......" Mr. Xi thoughtfully.
"To break the alliance they might have formed, of course!" Guo Jia said categorically: "It is not difficult to see from the secret report sent to us by General Nan once a month that Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan have already secretly communicated, while Liu Yu and Yuan Shao have a very close relationship. If you can't sow some trouble between them...... Hmph, I'm really afraid that they will be embarrassed! ”
"You, you want to use Yuan Shao to promote Liu Yu as the emperor. Re-provoke the long-suppressed contradiction of the Yuan brothers, and intensify the struggle between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan! Mr. Xi looked shocked and said: "Good boy, I really underestimate you....... this hand is smart!" ”
"Whether it is Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, or Liu Yu, their territory is close to the Bohai Sea!" Guo Jia's eyes flashed: "If you can't make them fight hard, I'm afraid it will be greatly detrimental to General Nan's future development!" ”
"First take advantage of slandering Dong Hou to bring down Dong Zhuo, and remove the first confidant for General Nan......" He made a palm split: "Then, provoke Yuan Shao to support Liu Yu, arouse the attention of the world, and arouse the internal commotion of the heroes, at this time, General Nan took the opportunity to grow stronger...... That's what I thought, is that wrong? ”
"You...... That's right! Mr. Xi was stunned for a long time before he sighed: "Being able to put yourself in General Nan's shoes like this proves that he is not wrong about you!" However, have you ever thought about General Nan's intentions? With his character, will he support you to cause chaos in the world? ”
"Will he not support it?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically, and suddenly said with some confidence: "Maybe...... Although he kills people without blinking, he is a good man in his bones! However, with Jia Wen and him by his side, he will definitely understand the meaning and help him make up his mind! ”
"Speaking of Jia Wenhe ......" Mr. Xi smiled bitterly: "You should have noticed, right?" In the recent series of big moves of the Bohai Navy, he did not play at all, as if he had retreated into the background and unconditionally supported all the decisions of General Nan! Admire, admire! ”
"What do you admire?" Guo Jia pouted and said: "That old boy is indeed the only powerful person I have seen in my life, but under the glorious shroud of General Nan, it is difficult to have a chance to show his strength, which is also very normal!" ”
"You're wrong!" Mr. Xi said solemnly: "I must admit that General Nan has indeed made many strange plans in his frequent actions in recent years, showing the true colors and abilities of a famous general in the world...... But I believe that once he makes a mistake in decision-making, Jia Xu will quietly fill all the loopholes for him! ”
"In fact!" He sighed again: "Under the appearance of the Bohai Navy's repeated victories, the world only sees General Nan's invincibility, but does it know that it is not Jia Wenhe's silent force behind his back? ”
"Why would he do that?" Guo Jia was surprised: "As a wise man, and you have to meet the master, shouldn't you just show your ability to the fullest?" ”
The answer to this question couldn't be simpler...... Because General Nan is the lord, and he is the minister! Mr. Xi said quietly: "If the world only sees the merits of his subordinates, but cannot see the power of the lord, then isn't it a high merit to the master?" Jia Wenhe is willing to sacrifice his life for General Nan, how can he take away his glory? ”
"Is that so?" Guo Jia suddenly shook violently, and a complicated look appeared on his face.
"That's why I admire him! Because such a character is the real wise man in the troubled times! Mr. Xi sighed and pointed at Guo Jia's head: "On this, in fact, you are not half a point inferior to Jia Wenhe!" ”
"And yet here!" He pointed at Guo Jia's chest again: "But it's still too tender!" (To be continued......)
