Cao Cao's poetry style at this time was quite ordinary, and the content was some things that were stormy and snowy, which were much worse than those famous works that were handed down to later generations.

After listening to the tune, Cao Cao said with a smile: "When I lived in seclusion in Qian County, I studied in spring and summer, and hunted in autumn and winter. I often recruit singers to come to the house to sing songs, and when I saw that Bian was proficient in music and rhythm, I accepted her as a concubine, and my clumsy works were sung and harmonized. ”

"Lord Cao is eclectic, admire." Guo Yi is basically sure in his heart that this Bian family is the Bian Linglong in Changshan. According to the time inference, she should have given birth to a son for Cao Cao by now - Cao Pi. If nothing else, Cao Chang will be born within a year, and then Cao Zhi.

Although it is said that the mother is more expensive than the son, now Cao Cao's eldest son is Cao Ang, and the wife of the main room is Ding. Ding's personality is relatively "jealous", and Cao Cao is a loving couple, Bian Linglong or other concubines have no chance.

Cao Cao put down his wine glass, pinched his sleeves, leaned sideways close to Guo Yi, and asked in a low voice, "What did Lord Taifu do recently, but is it a trick?" ”

Guo Yi smiled indifferently and sighed: "It's better to have more than one thing." ”

When he said this, he was wary in his heart. Cao Cao's current status in Luoyang is only a second-generation official, but he has been observing every move of high-ranking officials in Luoyang. What is the purpose of saying it so clearly today?

Cao Cao laughed and said loudly: "Master Taifu is a martial artist, Cao Cao has admired it for a long time. Unexpectedly, Tai Fu Kong has a lot of ability, but he is a timid and afraid person. What a disappointment. ”

Guo Yi frowned, although he wanted to leave with his sleeves brushed away, but his curiosity about Cao Cao made him stay. Instead, he asked, "What does Master Cao have to teach you?" ”

Cao Cao looked serious and said in a deep voice: "A certain view of He Jin and Yuan Shao is not enough to succeed." Now that the crown prince has not been established, the saint is tired, once there is a change in the palace, I am afraid that it will be a bloody storm. The truth is not to be hidden, in a certain view of today, the person who can overcome the chaos is none other than Taifu. But what Taifu has done recently, I really can't understand it. ”

Guo Yi didn't speak, he just thought about things and couldn't figure out what Cao Cao wanted to do.

Cao Cao continued: "As the saying goes, the mastermind is ambushed, and the rest is not asked. But He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words and insisted on sweeping away the eunuchs, and if he was not careful, he would inevitably die under the knife and axe. At that time, there will be chaos in the palace, and no one will be in charge. How could Taifu stand by and watch? ”

Guo Yi's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "What Lord Cao said is certainly true. I just don't know what Lord Cao wants? ”

Cao Cao's face was sad and indignant, and he was unwilling: "A certain person has written and said things several times, but he is not taken seriously. Now that he is an official in the court, seeing that the world is going to be chaotic, how can he be like a Taifu, sitting in danger and talking and laughing? ”

Guo Yi is no longer surprised by the straightforward temperament of the late Han scholars, and every time he compares with modern secular philosophies such as "thick black science", it is really not ancient. Scolding people in front of them is naturally offending people, especially scolding a superior person. But the atmosphere of the times is like this, and what Cao Cao did is not out of line.

Guo Yi could only be deeply ashamed when he heard his rebuke in person, and replied: "Meng De only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, the things in the palace are intertwined, how can he explain it clearly in a few words and a lot of ambition?" If Meng De really has the heart to serve the country, he can wait and see what happens for the time being, and just follow the trend. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Taifu already has a clever plan?" ”

Guo Yi raised his glass to make a toast and asked with a smile: "Why does Meng De bother to get to the bottom of it?" ”

"Good. Drink. Cao Cao also laughed and raised his glass to drink with him. The two only talked about poetry and songs, and no longer mentioned half a sentence of political affairs.

After the banquet and walked out of Cao Cao's mansion, the cool breeze blew, and Guo Yi was shocked to realize that he was sweating profusely. It's late May, and the weather in Ruoyang is getting hot. While walking back slowly, he was thinking about the people and things in Luoyang.

Engaging in politics really requires talent, but Guo Yi does not have this talent. Although he also learned a lot of routines from history, he felt that he was unable to do it.

When he got home, he saw Zhao Yun waiting for him in the hall, with a white cloth wrapped around his head.

"Zilong, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yun had red eyes and cried: "My brother was killed by a traitor, please allow me to go home and wear filial piety." ”

"What? Zhao Da was killed? Guo Yi was so surprised that even the horsewhip fell to the ground, Zhao Dake was the county order, if there was no turmoil in Zhending County, who would assassinate him?

Zhao Yun only received a letter from home, and the specific situation is not clear. Gritted his teeth and said: "I went home to find out about this matter, and I must avenge my brother!" ”

"Good!" The ancients said that the eldest brother is like a father, and when the elder brother dies, as the younger brother, he must go back to mourn his filial piety. And since it is a homicide case, a hero like Zhao Yun must take revenge. Guo Yi allowed Zhao Yun to go home, and he also wrote a eulogy to express his condolences.

sent Zhao Yun away, and the work he was responsible for was temporarily transferred to Pang De. Guo Yi felt more and more that he didn't have enough people at hand, and he should be like crossing the crowd and digging up talents everywhere to enrich himself.

When the time came, I wanted to dig people, but I found that I couldn't start. For the talents of these three countries, he only knows their names but does not know their people. I don't know where they live now, or what they look like.

"Well, let it be." Guo Yi didn't bother to think about these things, so he went to Yan Hua's yard to find her first.

Yan Hua was drinking tea comfortably in the courtyard, reading "Poems" on the side, her Chinese was already quite fluent, and there was no problem with daily communication.

Yan Hua took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "What?" Are you free to come to me today? ”

Guo Yi sat down and took a sip of tea, looked at the surrounding environment, and then said, "Do you know Zhao Da's death?" ”

Yan Hua smiled and said, "I know." Didn't Zilong go back to hang his filial piety? ”

Guo Yi frowned and asked, "You have been staying in Changshan for several days, have you found anything wrong?" ”

"Everything is peaceful." Yan Hua took a sip of tea and chuckled, "People, that's it." I can't tell when I'm going to die. ”

Guo Yi opened his mouth and thought of a clue, but he was not sure, and finally did not ask. sighed: "Zilong said that he wanted to keep filial piety, but I am afraid that he will not come in a year or two." I am now short of major generals, and it is really difficult. ”

"Haha." Yan Hua laughed and asked, "Didn't you send the Guo family brothers to your arms?" You say you want talents, but in fact, you can't trust anyone except yourself. ”

Guo Yi put down the tea and played with the taste: "Don't I trust you enough?" ”

Yan Hua nodded, and said with a smile: "The words that you men say are all singing. ”

Guo Yi was noncommittal, turned his head and asked Zero, "How are you feeling lately?" Are you in a good mood? ”

Zero Ling was very surprised, glanced at Yan Hua, and then slowly replied: "Husband...... Master, I don't like to kill, can you ......?"

"Okay." Without waiting for Yan Hua to speak, Guo Yi took the lead and said: "You are also my woman, just call me your husband." Yan Hua, since she doesn't like to kill people, let her do what she is good at. She's good at auxiliary work, don't let her go to the front. ”

Yan Hua said angrily: "Why don't you feel so sorry for me?" ”

"Oops." Hearing this, Guo Yi quickly got up with a smile, walked behind her and hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, and said with a smile: "Come, tell your husband, how do you hurt?" ”

Yan Hua's eyes rolled, and he said angrily: "You don't know how hard it is to stay alone in an empty room?" ”

"Oops!" Guo Yi immediately hugged her in her arms and strode towards the room, "Come, let me love you well." ”

Yan Hua was ashamed, and a burst of powder punches came down, "What are you doing, in broad daylight!" ”

Guo Yi laughed, "Of course it's for you." ”
