The head of the Guo family suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu He expectantly, "Let people show their hearts, how did you do it?" ”

Liu He said calmly: "You and I want different things, different attitudes towards people, and other people's reactions are naturally different." You only want the Guo family to prosper, and all you think about all day long is this matter, and other things are irrelevant compared to this matter, so it is enough for him to show a quick side in front of you, and if you have anything, it is all superfluous. And I was different, my idea at that time was very simple, that is, I simply wanted to play tricks on this self-righteous son, there was no interest involvement and conflict between me and him, maybe he was also aware of this, so he would have that kind of performance. ”

The head of the Guo family sighed, closed his eyes, and sighed: "If you can show up earlier, Feng Xiao may be ......."

A deep remorse added a bit of vicissitudes to the old man's already ravine-ravine face.

"Is what you did today related to Guo Jia?" Liu He pondered for a moment and asked.

The old man was silent for a long time, and finally slowly opened his eyes and talked about a past that Guo Jia did not know to the world.

"Jia'er has been smart since she was a child, and she can understand everything at all, but he can not only memorize the jerky ancient books that other children can't understand, but also understand the meaning. Seeing that such a once-in-a-century genius has produced in the clan, and that he is also my own son, I am naturally very happy and pour all my heart and soul into him. He was very competitive, and by the time he was twenty years old, he was already well-read, and he was already above me in governing the country and the army. I felt that the time was ripe, so I was ready to choose a force for him and let him go to work, so as to find a place for my Guo family in the temple. ”

"So, this decision to cast into Cao Cao's account was not made by himself, but by you for him?" Liu He's tone was very displeased, "At that time, several major families in Yingchuan had people under Cao Cao's account, even if the Guo family went, they might not be able to fight for your Guo family, is it a little too rash for you to make this decision?" ”

"You're right, at that time in Yingchuan, all major families did rush to send their children into Cao Cao's camp, but this also means that Cao Cao was the most optimistic force at that time."

Liu He thought for a while and said, "At that time, Cao Cao had just started his army, compared to him, didn't Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the land of the four states, seem to have more chances?" ”

"There are two reasons why I didn't choose Yuan Shao. First, Yuan Shao was not a person who spoke out and gave advice, and he couldn't give full play to his talents under his account. The second is that he was already in full swing at that time, with a large number of soldiers, and he preferred to recruit those famous people who had already become famous in the world than unknown young strategists. Cao Cao was different, Cao Cao at that time was in urgent need of talents, and he would treat everyone who came to take refuge with courtesy. With Jia'er's talent, it will definitely be reused. This is also the reason why all the families in Yingchuan chose Cao Cao at that time. ”

Liu He glanced at the head of the Guo family meaningfully, "Guo Jia also thought so at that time?" ”

The head of the Guo family smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Jia'er did think that Cao Cao was the most ideal candidate at that time, but his thoughts were different from those of us family heads. He said that looking at the world, although Cao Cao has the most potential to calm the troubled times, this troubled times cannot be pacified in a moment and a half. Even Cao Cao may not be able to achieve his long-cherished wish in his lifetime. Instead of being poor all your life, hollowing out your mind is empty in the end, it is better to travel through the mountains and rivers and be a person of idle clouds and wild cranes, but it is comfortable. ”

Liu He once thought that his biggest regret when he came to this world was that he couldn't see Mei Zhoulang who had never seen the lupine scarf with his own eyes, but after listening to this passage of the head of the Guo family, Liu He suddenly felt that the real regret was that he missed the genius of Guo Fengxiao.

Compared with those great strategists who have been fighting for fame and fortune for half their lives and still can't extricate themselves, Guo Jia has seen through everything early.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the world has been chaotic, and if you want to return to governing the world, it may be difficult to achieve it by relying only on one generation.

Many people may understand this truth, but they still can't let go of fame and fortune, and resolutely devote themselves to officialdom, even if they can only leave a mark in history, they are willing to dedicate their lives to this.

Only Guo Fengxiao saw through the general trend of the world and figured out the way of life, but in the end, because he was burdened with the rise and fall of the family, he embarked on the same path as others.

The point of no return that he had already seen at a glance was the end.

"You really shouldn't have forced him in the first place, he is the person who understands best in the world." Liu He's tone was filled with a strong complaint.

The head of the Guo family nodded, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness, "I didn't understand this truth at the time, and after reprimanding him, he locked himself in the room for three days and three nights, and finally agreed." For three days, he didn't eat a grain of rice, and he kept drinking. In the past, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but from that day on, he had to get drunk every day before he could fall asleep. ”

This is somewhat similar to the well-known Guo Jia between Liu He, and it was recorded in the book that Guo Jia took the lead in offering strange strategies under Cao Cao's account, but in private he was dissolute and often drunk and made trouble. The people around him complained to Cao Cao about Guo Jia many times, but they were all stopped by Cao Cao one by one.

"Borrowing wine to drown sorrow, sorrow is even more sorrowful." Liu He sighed lightly.

"It would have been fine if he had just used wine to drown his sorrows, but I never thought that he would eventually die because of this."

Liu He was taken aback, all the books mentioned Guo Jia's death gave the same statement, after the difficult victory of Wuhuan in the Northern Expedition, he died of illness on the way back.

The cause of his death is a matter of opinion, some books say that it is not adapted to the water and soil, some are due to the bad climate, and some say that it is overwork.

But listening to what the head of the Guo family said just now, Guo Jia's death does not seem to be as simple as imagined.

"Didn't he die of illness on the march?" Liu He asked with a look of astonishment.

The face of the head of the Guo family showed a desolate look, "In the bitter cold land of the extreme north, there is no water and no supplies, but he wants to march in a hurry, and he has to run for a long distance of 200 miles to attack the enemy army, what is this not begging for death?" ”

"Maybe he just wants to take risks in order to win...... Liu He muttered to himself, and when he said this, he didn't have any confidence at all.

People are often more afraid of having their preconceived notions subverted than new things that require some risk.

Liu He is in this state at this time.
