Chapter 404: Thoughts
"Lord......" Xun Yu and the others heard the crying in the tent, and hurriedly came in, but saw Cao Cao hugging Guo Jia and crying bitterly, and he couldn't say anything to his mouth, but he felt that something was blocked in his throat.
Guo Jia is a genius, but he doesn't have the stinky problems of most geniuses, when he was in Suiyang before, Guo Jia's style was prodigal, the wind was not very good, he slept in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion for a long time, and ran to borrow it if he had no money, and hundreds of officials in the Suiyang court, up to Cao Cao, down to some generals, and even Xu Chu was Guo Jia's creditor.
But the strange thing is that there is such a person, although Cao Cao's subordinates can't get used to him, but Guo Jia's popularity is quite good, Xun Yu introduced him as a close friend, Cheng Yu also admires Guo Jia, and even Xu Chu, who is not smiling, can chat with Guo Jia hotly, he seems to be able to talk to anyone.
As Guo Jia's biggest creditors, when they saw Guo Jia die, these people didn't think about the debt in their minds, they only felt empty in their hearts.
Cao Cao didn't cry for too long, people like him rarely revealed his feelings, and after asking people to help collect Guo Jia's body, he didn't let people send him back to Linzi, but let people go to Linzi to find Guo Jia's wife and children.
What do you want to do, Cao Cao didn't say, and everyone didn't dare to ask.
A few days later, Guo Jia's wife and children were escorted to the camp, and when they saw the body of their husband (father), they naturally wept bitterly.
"Boyi." On this day, after Cao Cao waited for Guo Jia's wife and children to cry, he summoned Guo Jia's son Guo Yi to his side, looking at Guo Yi and Guo Jia's somewhat similar faces, he couldn't help but think of Guo Jia again, and his heart couldn't help but be sad.
"Lord......" Guo Yi saluted.
"Feng Xiao died and should have been buried thickly, but I want him to return to his hometown and be buried." Cao Cao pulled Guo Yi and sighed: "Although Fengxiao didn't say it, I know that he is homesick." ”
"My lord, now that the Central Plains has been obtained by Chen Jun, I am afraid that it will be ...... if I have a heart," Guo Yi said in surprise.
"Later, I will write a letter, you take Fengxiao's coffin, and your mother together, go to Zhengrong Valley to take refuge, and hand over the letter to Chen Mo, he will take care of Fengxiao's funeral." Cao Cao patted Guo Yi on the shoulder and said: "You don't have to worry about him embarrassing you, count it out, Fengxiao and Chen Mo have the friendship of the same family, you should call him uncle, and he will not be embarrassed when he goes away with the coffin at this time." ”
"This ...... Lord, after finishing his father's funeral, he will come back. Guo Yi thought about it and nodded.
"No need to come back." Cao Cao shook his head: "Although the winner of this battle has not been decided, if it continues like this, it will be difficult for Qingzhou to come back...... It's useless, just stay in Yingchuan, if you want to enter the office, Chen Mo will definitely not stop you, but I will make a plan for you as a friend of filial piety, as for whether to listen or not, you decide for yourself. ”
"Please let the Lord know." Guo Yi hurriedly arched his hand.
"Although Boyi is smart, but after all, he lacks a little bit of your father's knowledge, under Chen Mo, there are Xun You, Li Ru, Xu Shu to conspire, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, these former wise men have now entered his command, if you want to enter the office, Chen Mo will definitely not stop you, but if you want to get ahead, it is difficult; You go to Chen Jin and follow here, and he will be able to get a career one day. Cao Cao patted Guo Yi on the shoulder and sighed: "This should have been done by me, but now I can't protect myself, Feng Xiao has been running around for me all my life, and now he is dead, I don't want you to follow me to the dark, there is only this road for you, as for whether to go or not, it depends on how you choose." ”
Guo Yi nodded, the reason is not difficult to understand, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”
"Call me uncle." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled.
"Thank you, uncle." Guo Yi hesitated for a moment and bowed.
"Go quickly, take care of your mother." Cao Cao touched Guo Yi's shoulder, and his smile was a little sluggish.
"Retire!" Guo Yi respectfully accepted the letter, saluted Cao Cao, and withdrew from the tent.
Cao Cao prepared a few carriages for Guo Yi, and assigned fifty soldiers from Yingchuan to follow Guo Yi away, and this is the only thing he can do for Guo Yi.
Guo Yi and his mother took Guo Jia's coffin out of Cao Ying, and arrived at Zhengrong Valley in the evening.
"Lord, there is Cao Jun outside who asked someone to send a coffin, what does this mean? Belligerent? Dian Wei came in angrily and said to Chen Mo.
"Coffin?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this, Cao Cao shouldn't be able to make such a joke with him, right?
"What about the messenger?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Weidao.
"It's strange that I'm locked up, there's a woman in this messenger." Dian Wei snorted.
"No matter what, there is no need to embarrass a messenger and ask him to come to me." Chen Mo was speechless and waved his hand.
"Whoa!" Although Dian Wei was not angry with the other party's approach, Chen Mo opened his mouth, he could only do it, leave immediately, and bring Guo Yi's mother and son in after a while.
"Little nephew, see uncle!" When Guo Yi saw Chen Mo, he bowed down very cleverly.
"You are ......" Chen Mo has a good memory, he doesn't remember that he has seen this person, let alone inexplicably have a nephew, looking at his age, he is not a few years younger than himself.
"Father Guo Jia." Guo Yi bowed.
"Brother Fengxiao?" Chen Mo looked at Guo Yi and frowned, "How could he let you come here?" ”
"My father died of illness in the camp a few days ago, and Cao Gong hopes that my father can be buried in his hometown, so he ordered his little nephew and mother to bring his father's coffin over, and I hope that my uncle can be accommodating and let my mother and son go, and I am grateful for this kindness!" Guo Yi took out the letter and handed it to Chen Modao.
After Chen Mo read the letter, he was a little distracted and said, "Brother Feng Xiao went?" ”
Guo Yi nodded and did not speak.
"Where's the coffin?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Weidao.
"Still outside the camp." Dian Wei blinked.
"Welcome in." Chen Mo got up and said solemnly.
"Whoa!"
"Boyi, I already know about it, you rest here for the night, and tomorrow I will send someone to escort your mother and son and Brother Fengxiao back to Yingchuan." Chen Mo looked at Guo Yidao.
"Thank you, uncle!" Guo Yi respectfully saluted Chen Mo, he has always been commensurate with his uncle, obviously he doesn't want to be under Chen Mo, for these thoughts, Chen Mo doesn't care, he has personal ideas, and he still has to keep filial piety for three years, these things, there is no need to force them, although he is the son of Guo Jia, but his talent is probably not as good as his father, it is good to precipitate and precipitate, and when Qingzhou is captured and Cao Cao is destroyed, if he is interested, he can naturally still be outstanding.
Guo Jia's corpse is naturally to be confirmed, Chen Mo is not at ease with Cao Cao, and even escorts back all the way, called escort, in fact, there is also the meaning of surveillance, at this time, Cao Cao's destruction is imminent, Chen Mo does not want to have any accidents.
After confirming that there was a corpse in the coffin, Chen Mo asked the coffin to be resealed, returned to the tent, and summoned Xu Shu and Xun You.
Guo Jia is a figure that Chen Mo has to pay attention to, among the people around Cao Cao, Guo Jia's threat in Chen Mo's heart is second only to Xun Yu.
And for Guo Jia's talent, Chen Mo is also quite admirable, he has the help of the system immortals, and he has been honed over the years to have today's ability, but what about Guo Jia? He may not have the same good luck as himself, but he has still become a top strategist that Chen Mo can't ignore, and there is indeed a gap between people.
Now that Guo Jia is dead, Chen Mo can't help but feel a little stunned, no matter how powerful a person is, he may not be very heroic when he dies.
"Lord, as soon as Guo Jia dies, Cao Cao loses an arm to help, and I think that this victory may be coming." Xu Shu smiled.
"Have you noticed that Brother Meng De's move is a bit like explaining the aftermath, Guo Jia died, originally he should have done the aftermath, but now it is entrusted to me, although it makes sense in reason, but I always feel that this move is not only to send Guo Jia's coffin back to his hometown." Chen Mo frowned.
It does feel that way.
Xu Shu and Xun You nodded, but what Cao Cao thought, they couldn't figure it out.
"Do you know you're going to lose?" Xun You looked at Chen Mo and said.
This statement can also make sense, if you know that you will lose, why resist? Wouldn't it be better to surrender? Cao Cao should know very well that if he is willing to surrender, he will not embarrass him too much.
"You say, if I surrender at this time, will Brother Meng De accept it?" Chen Mo asked suddenly.
If Cao Cao was willing to surrender, Chen Mo would naturally be happy, not only because the war in Qingzhou was over, but also because their former friends didn't have to really fight to break the net, and they could only fall alone.
When fighting, Chen Mo can be ruthless, but if he really has a choice, he doesn't want Cao Cao to die.
This......
Chen Mo's question was to stop Xu Shu and Xun You, the psychology of people like Cao Cao is difficult to guess.
"I'll send a letter to the Cao army camp and ask the messenger to bring the letter back!" Thinking of this possibility, Chen Mo didn't want to wait any longer, took out the bamboo slips at the moment, thought about it, wrote a letter of persuasion to Cao Cao, and sent it to Cao's army camp overnight.
