Chapter 176: Diao Chan's Heart (II)
Seeing Guo Cui's funny appearance, Gao Shun laughed heartily, without grace.
Guo Cui was extremely angry about this, and his face turned red, redder than a ripe persimmon.
was ridiculed by Gao Shun, Guo Cui didn't know how to follow, only to see her suddenly run to Gao Shun's side in three steps and two steps, and smashed a pair of pink fists straight at the other party.
Gao Shun laughed, and took advantage of Guo Cui's unpreparedness to take her into his arms.
Guo Cui was embarrassed and still had to struggle, but Gao Shun had already whispered in his ear: "If you don't behave well, I will let you see the means of being a husband." ”
Guo Cui, who was still making noise before, had to quiet down when he heard this. Gao Shun said the means, of course she knew what she was referring to, if there was no one around, she didn't care about continuing to make trouble with Gao Shun, but the problem was in front of Diao Chan and Cao Ming, it would be a shame to do that.
After faintly throwing Gao Shun a "count you ruthless" look, Guo Cui lay quietly in Gao Shun's arms, enjoying the manly aura emanating from the other party.
Seeing this scene, Diao Chan didn't know why, and there was a slight feeling of pantothenic acid in his heart.
Are you envious? Jealous? Diao Chan can't say clearly.
When he entered the Gao Mansion, he was just to avoid trouble. With his own beauty, living alone will cause trouble sooner or later, even if Liu Bei did not ask Cao Cao for himself at that time, sooner or later Cao Cao will give himself to someone else, or simply enjoy it to himself.
But is it going to be like this in the future to spend the rest of his life in Gaoshun Mansion? I am now twenty-five years old, can I be at the age of thirty-five, forty-five, or even older, like now, from beginning to end, I am just a guest in Gaoshun Mansion, and then die of old age?
If this is the case, what happiness can I have for the rest of my life?
Looking at Gao Shun, who was laughing and scolding Guo Cui, Diao Chan couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart.
Husband and wife can get along with each other, what more can they ask for in life?
Although Lu Bu also loves himself very much and responds to his needs, it is completely a kind of domineering possession, and it is by no means like Gao Shun and Guo Cui, who have a strong husband and wife affection between a smile and a scolding.
Diao Chan suddenly found that after two years in Gaofu, he was already looking forward to living the same life as Guo Cui and Cao Ming.
Diao Chan is a woman after all, and she also hopes to be loved. It's not a unilateral occupation like Lu Bu, but the kind of love that the couple respects each other like guests.
She was born with a national color, and I don't know how many men coveted her, but these men coveted her beauty, and there was nothing to talk about respecting and loving each other.
Even Lu Bu is no different.
However, Gao Shun is different, although he is also lustful, sometimes his eyes will glow when he looks at him. But in the two years he has been in Gaofu, he has never forced himself to do anything he is not willing to do.
This has nothing to do with Cao Ming and Guo Cui, Diao Chan knows that if Gao Shun really wants to bow to his overlord, even if the two women are unwilling on the surface, it is impossible to really stop them.
In the final analysis, it is Gao Shun's own integrity.
Diao Chan found that unconsciously, one of his hearts had quietly lingered on Gao Shun's body.
Although Diao Chan was ordered by Wang Yun to serve Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu successively, he could not talk about the so-called Zhenlie for a long time. But her personality has not changed much, and she has always had such a gentleness, asking Diao Chan to take the initiative to courtship Gao Shun for love, which she can't do.
can only let everything go with the flow, looking at Gao Shun and Guo Cui's frolic, Diao Chan forcibly suppressed the trace of jealousy in his heart and sighed secretly.
————————————————————————————————
At the end of September of the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Cao Cao raised troops to the north to conquer Yuan Shao.
In mid-September, Cao Cao sent a letter to Yuan Shao, asking him to revoke the title of Duke of Ye. But even at the end of the road, Yuan Shao still wanted to save face and was unwilling to remove his official account. In order to promote righteousness, Cao Cao raised troops to attack Yuan.
Unlike the previous two battles of Guandu and Cangting, Yuan Shao took the initiative to attack, this time it was Cao Cao who sent troops first.
This is also inevitable, since Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, then when the strength is sufficient, he must take the initiative to recruit Yuan Shao, who usurped the title of prince without authorization.
The two major battles with Yuan Shao were both victories, which made Cao Cao's strength skyrocket, and now Cao Cao can mobilize more than 200,000 troops in his own territory. Compared with before the battle of Guandu, the difference in strength is simply cloudy.
Leaving considerable troops stationed in Shouchun, Wancheng, Chang'an and other places, in case Sun Jian, Liu Biao, and Ma Teng came to attack, Cao Cao raised 80,000 male soldiers, wanting to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.
The 80,000 army, although in terms of numbers, did not exceed the number of troops used in the Battle of Guandu. But Yuan Shao's strength is not what it used to be, and now that he is using all the power of Hebei, it is difficult to say whether he can make up 80,000 soldiers.
Even if Yuan Shao was able to temporarily gather 80,000 soldiers, his combat strength would definitely be far from Cao's army.
Therefore, in this battle, Cao Cao is bound to do it, and it is bound to win.
He wanted to completely eliminate Yuan Shao and completely control the entire north in his own hands.
Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, there is no danger of food shortage. Although the sergeants were very tired from the continuous battles, the two big victories also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
You can fight, and you will win the battle!
On Yuan Shao's side, when he heard the news of Cao Cao's army, he was in a low mood.
Yuan Shao sought advice from Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others several times, but there was no strategy available. In desperation, Yuan Shao finally thought of the frustration, Tian Feng and others who had been neglected by him for an unknown time, and hurriedly invited the two of them out.
But now, even if Jiang Shang is resurrected and Zhang Liang is reincarnated, what use can it be, in the face of the irretrievable trend, all strategies are in vain.
What's more, Yuan Shaojun was defeated by Cao Cao twice, and he was already afraid of Cao Cao, and he had no mind at all, nor did he have the courage to fight Cao Cao's army.
The strong soldiers who used to dominate Hebei are now in decline.
In this case, even if Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have any ideas, what ideas can they come up with!
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! A bunch of useless waste! Yuan Shao roared hysterically, now he still has the temperament of a famous family of the fourth world and the third duke, and he is completely a defeated hooligan.
"Lord, so far, I can only go to the court, ask to remove the position of Duke Ye, and then give the jade seal to Cao Cao, and try to negotiate peace with him." Guo Tu reluctantly offered advice.
Although Guo Tu has offered many ridiculous schemes, this time, what he said could not be more correct.
It's just that it was Guo Tu who asked Yuan Shao to call the public at the beginning, and now it is Guo Tu who asks Yuan Shao to abolish the official name, which can't help but make people feel a little ironic.
Guo Tu also knew that Yuan Shao would definitely feel very unhappy, frustrated, and angry about his own advice! But there was no way, if he could, he didn't want to disobey Yuan Shao's intentions. But now the situation is stronger than people, and if we continue to insist on going our own way, then everything will be over.
