Chapter 82 Arriving in Yanzhou
Zhang Xiaotian didn't know how to deal with this enthusiasm at this time, so he had to hurriedly humble, and thought in his heart at the same time: Now is the honeymoon period of the relationship between Cao Cao and the He family, Xun Yu naturally got Cao Cao's instructions to envelop them well.
Xun Yu met Zhao Yun and He Bao one by one to greet him, and his demeanor was naturally cordial and warm. The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang didn't know where they came out at this time, and they were very happy when they reunited after a long absence.
"This is Mr. Guo Jia, a famous man from Yingchuan, and now he is the widow of Cao Gong." At this time, Xun Yu posed as an old friend and introduced the young man to Zhang Xiaotian;
The housekeeper is actually a diner, Zhang Xiaotian secretly wondered why the name "Guo Jia" was so familiar at this time, and suddenly remembered it, and said with a huge change in his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Guo Jia, who assisted the famous master and sought to show his ambitions!" ”
"Mr. Zhang smiled, Guo Jia has no ambitions, I just want to show my strengths under the leadership of Cao Gong, and my wish has been fulfilled!" Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this, and lowered his head and said;
This Guo Jiazi Fengxiao, is the "first ghost talent of the Three Kingdoms", a native of Yangzhai (now Yuzhou, Henan) in Yingchuan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It turned out to be Yuan Shao's subordinates, and then switched to Cao Cao,
He made meritorious contributions to Cao Cao's unification of northern China, and the official went to the military division to sacrifice wine, and sealed the Weiyang Pavilion Marquis. He died of illness during Cao Cao's expedition to Karasuma at the age of thirty-eight.
When he was 21 years old, Guo Jia traveled north to see Yuan Shao, and said to Yuan Shao's advisers Xin Ping and Guo Tu:
"A wise man can measure his master carefully and thoughtfully, so that he can make a name for himself by taking all his actions. Yuan Gong only wanted to emulate Corporal Lixian of Duke Zhou,
But I don't know how to use talents. Thinking and lacking in the essentials, he likes to plan but is indecisive, and wants to work with him to save the country from danger.
It is really difficult to build a great cause of being a king and a hegemon! So he left Yuan Shao from then on.
Guo Jia, a genius who is talented, is a well-deserved number one strategist around Cao Cao, the most important Cao Cao, and is regarded by Cao Cao as his "Qi Zuo".
During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao once sighed: "If filial piety is here, you will not be lonely." The history books also have a very high evaluation of Guo Jia, thinking that he is "a talented and strategic, a strange man of the world".
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Mr. Shui Jing once said that "Guo Jia is not dead, and Wolong is not out". It can be seen that the "ghost talent" Guo Jia is indeed a stunning genius.
Unfortunately, he died young. After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao could not dominate the world for the rest of his life.
Xun Yu flashed a look of surprise at this time, and secretly thought: Although he is good friends with Guo Jia, there is nothing wrong with calling him a famous man in Yingchuan.
But Guo Jia never interacted with secular people, and lived in seclusion after the weak crown (twenty years old) and secretly befriended Yingjie, so not too many people knew about him.
Today, I also made an automatic request, wanting to see the demeanor of "Xiao Tian", why does "Xiao Tian" seem to be famous for him for a long time?
"Xiao Tian, where did you hear about Mr. Guo?" Xun Yu asked involuntarily;
Zhang Xiaotian complained bitterly when he heard this, could he tell Xun Yu that he knew Guo Jia from the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or the history book "Three Kingdoms".
So he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How is Cao Gong doing?" ”
Xun Yu said gratefully: "Duke Cao instructed the contemptible people to clearly express his gratitude to Old Master He, Young Master He Miao and Xiao Tian, if Wang Rong's mother and son can't escape from Chang'an safely,
I'm afraid it's going to be a different story. The queen and the king of Bohai praised "Xiao Tian" in front of Cao Gong, and respected him, Cao Gong specially wanted to arrange a dust washing banquet for Xiao Tian and you tomorrow night, I am afraid that you will have a chance to rest and recharge your energy, and everyone will work together in the future, that is, your own people. ”
Zhang Xiaotian sneered in his heart when he heard this, what you said in your mouth is high-sounding, but you are just deceiving Zhang to be Cao Cao's lackey!
Now he is extremely tired of politics and power struggles, and he has no interest in participating in the struggle between Cao Cao and other heroes, so he secretly made a decision in his heart.
Just looking at the He family's new house in Yanzhou composed of twenty-four courtyards, we can already know Cao Cao's grand courtesy to the He family, and we can also infer Cao Cao's courtesy to Wang Rong and Liu Xie, who was faked by Xiaoben.
Although this new mansion of the He family is far from the scale and grandeur of the He Mansion in Chang'an, it is located in the place where Cao Cao is meeting, and the area where the ministers and ministers live nearby.
After galloping slowly for about a cup of hot tea, you can reach the gate of the mansion in the middle of Cao Cao's meeting.
On the way to the new house of the He family, the people seen are simple, and it is rare to see the fresh clothes and gorgeous clothes that can be seen everywhere in Chang'an, but the population is more prosperous than Chang'an, and the agriculture and industry are more prosperous.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaotian admired it in his heart, and secretly thought that Cao Cao was worthy of being a hero in troubled times.
Came to the square in front of the He family's main house, Xun Yu and others said goodbye and left first, before leaving, Guo Jia secretly told Zhang Xiaotian that he wanted to come and talk to him in detail tomorrow morning, and after Zhang Xiaotian happily agreed, Guo Jia left a little slim.
The entire He Mansion gathered at the gate to welcome these He family heroes, especially Zhang Xiaotian, who became the mainstay of the He family and was highly respected.
He Miao allocated four groups of houses at this time to temporarily settle everyone, and after Zhang Xiaotian coped with the congratulations of his relatives, Chunxiang and the other four daughters had the opportunity to hug him, He Shu'er, and the four princesses to his new hermitage.
It was not until the sky was getting dark that I went to the lobby of the main house to have dinner with He Miao, and the three brothers He Bao, Zhao Yun and Liu Guanzhang were also present.
After some persuasion and mutual congratulations, He Miao sincerely thanked and said: "My He family can have this chance of rebirth, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone.
Regardless of life and death, he fought for it back. This time we can really live and work in peace and contentment, after Wang Rong's mother and son fled to Yanzhou, Cao Gong was overjoyed and immediately entertained the King of Bohai with the gift of the monarch and ministers.
Our He family has this big backer, and my father's spirit in the sky can rest in peace. ”
When everyone heard the mention of He and his wife, concubines, and servants who were martyred with him, their expressions were gloomy.
"This blood account, Cao Gong will definitely recover it for us, Xun Yu once said to me in private, Cao Gong already has some plans, and I hope that you will carry it out." He Miao gritted his teeth at this time and said;
Zhang Xiaotian was distressed when he heard this, to be honest, his main enemies were only Liu Mang and Dong Zhuo, and Liu Wei was just a puppet, not even an accomplice.
The person said that according to the historical records, Dong Zhuo's old thief abolished Liu Wei, established Liu Xie as the emperor, and called himself Xiangguo, because Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others did not agree with Dong Zhuo's approach.
So Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others crusaded against Dong Zhuo's eighteenth princes formed, in order to avoid trouble, Dong Zhuo sent people to poison the mother and son of the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Wei,
If he wants to lead the army to conquer the cities in Chang'an one by one now, this is not what he is willing to do.
He was deeply disgusted by this aggressive war.
There is a bigger problem, that is, it is impossible for him to become Cao Cao's minions, because how can Xiao Ben and his ideals stand on Cao Cao's position?
But judging from the current situation, everyone in the He family has long regarded Cao Cao as their new master, and they look like they are living and dying together, advancing and retreating together.
However, I can't tell them what I think, and if I tell them what I think, I will definitely be persuaded by them to get rid of this kind of non-trivial thinking. It's a real headache.
Zhao Yun and the others were silent, and the three of them all looked at Zhang Xiaotian first, and only valued Zhang Xiaotian's thoughts.
Zhang Xiaotian knew that now was not the time to persuade He Miao to be careful with Cao Cao, so he didn't say anything more, and quickly changed the topic, and after some ups and downs, after the dinner, they went back to their residences to rest.
Leaving the lobby, the three brothers Zhao Yun, He Bao, and Liu Guanzhang found an excuse to send him back and accompanied him.
"Xiaotian doesn't seem to have much of a good impression of Cao Cao, right?" Zhao Yun asked in a low voice;
Zhang Xiaotian said with a wry smile: "Cao Cao is a hero in the world, extremely treacherous, and knows how to drive people, is this kind of person Brother Zhao willing to make friends with him?" ”
"But as He Miao said, our fate has been linked to him, and if we don't cooperate with him, we are not far from destruction." He Bao frowned and said;
Zhang Xiaotian really wanted to tell them about Xiao Ben at this time, but finally suppressed this irrational thought, so he said with a smile: "Let's adapt to this matter!" Once we have stabilized, we will try to draw a line with him, or we will be burdened by him.
This is my idea, don't tell anyone, not even He Miao can be leaked. ”
The five of them had already given up on Zhang Xiaotian, and when they saw him trusting him so much, they all nodded happily.
After saying goodbye, Zhang Xiaotian returned to his new hermitage.
The house was brightly lit, and all the women gathered in the hall to watch the four princesses and He Shuer play chess. The laughter of the women did not destroy the tranquility here, but added to the feeling of happiness, satisfaction and warmth.
Seeing these beauties beside him, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and he was more confident than ever before to protect his beloved woman.
But before he reached the journey of faith, he had already experienced countless things that broke his heart.
He thought of Liu Fen at this time, and his heart ached! Now there is no more hatred for her that she had betrayed her. But what about that? There is no way for them to fix it.
Diao Chan, the eldest brother and the third brother who were far away in Jiming Mountain did not know that he had come to Cao Cao. Now that they have stabilized, it is time to inform them and let them come out of the mountain to help themselves and Xiaoben.
Because of the difficulty of communication in the ancient world, it was as if they were living on two different planets. It is no wonder that the ancients had so many sad feelings about parting, and the pain of lovesickness is indeed tormenting.
Seeing these carefree beauties, Zhang Xiaotian's tense nerves relaxed, and at the same time, he was tired of fighting and vendetta, and only hoped that he could retire to the land of springs and forests in the future.
Take Diao Chan over and live a beautiful and intoxicating life of envy mandarin ducks and immortals.
