Juancheng, Gunzhou, Xunyu Mansion.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Xun Yu and Cao Cao were playing against each other, and they both had a few smiles on their faces. At this time, it was Xun Yu's turn to fall, and Xun Yu was about to drop the chess pieces in his hand to a key point, but suddenly the eager voice of the servant came from under the corridor:

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, please stay!"

Another voice looked a little impatient: "It's not that you don't know me!" Don't stop me, I have something urgent to see Wen Ruo! ”

Xun Yu's hand hovered above the chessboard, and said, "Fengxiao? Why did he come back from Xuzhou so quickly? ”

Cao Cao smiled, picked up the wine cup in his hand and took a sip: "Is it Wen Ruo, your best friend?" If you have a good heart, it is really rare for someone to be able to go straight to your back hall. ”

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao, sighed lightly and said, "Moti Moti, Yu is also inappropriate to make friends!" ”

Cao Cao smiled again: "If this person can go straight to the back hall of Wenruo, he must be a friend of Wenruo." And with Wen Ruo's person, how can he make friends with ordinary rude young people? I'm afraid that although this person's behavior is a little frivolous, he must be a virtuous person with extraordinary talents, so it is better for Wen Ruo to let Gu also meet this person by the way. ”

Xun Yu smiled meaningfully at Cao Cao: "Ming Gong will not be disappointed." ”

After these few words, Guo Jia had already come to the pavilion, and shouted to Xun Yu from afar: "Wen Ruo, something big has happened, you still have the heart to play chess here...... Ay? Who is this? ”

Xun Yu glared at Guo Jia, and then introduced to Cao Cao first: "Let Ming Gong see and smile!" He is Guo Jia, whose name is filial piety, and is the same as Yu in Yingchuan. Since he was young, he was a drunkard, frivolous and dissolute man, and he was not surprised by the rudeness; Fengxiao, why don't you come over and see Cao Gong? ”

Guo Jia was also stunned, because he didn't expect to run into Cao Cao in Xun Yu so just now, and just now he rushed directly into Xun Yu's mansion as soon as he got off the horse, and he didn't listen to the words of the attendants who stopped him. Now that I met it, after saluting Cao Cao out of habit, I naturally observed Cao Cao carefully.

In turn, Cao Cao habitually narrowed his eyes and observed Guo Jia carefully. Maybe these two are really one of the best partners of the gods destined for the king, or in terms of the data in the game "Three Kingdoms", the "phase" value between them is really too consistent, and they just observe each other like this, and they have affirmed each other in their hearts at least in their first feelings. And this is at least three years ahead of the original historical process.

Xun Yu on the side saw the two of them like this, and nodded secretly in his heart. But now it's not just the time for you to look at me and I look at you, Xun Yu frowned after sweeping his eyes to dry Guo Jia's appearance, because Guo Jiazhou's body at this moment can only be described by the word "wind and dust", and there is a bit of malaise on his face that is already lacking a little blood, and it is obvious that Guo Jia is in a hurry all the way to become like this. Based on Xun Yu's understanding of Guo Jia, Guo Jia is usually a lazy guy, if something really happened to him, Guo Jia would not have made himself so virtuous.

So Xun Yu coughed hard twice, and after pulling the attention of the two back, Xun Yu asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you just said something big, what happened?" Before I asked you to go to Xuzhou, didn't something happen in Xuzhou? ”

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao again, rolled his eyes and said, "There is nothing big happening in Xuzhou for the time being, and I just went to Tancheng City to drink a few glasses of wine and came back." However, a major event will happen in Xuzhou soon, and whether this major event will happen depends on Cao Gong's decision. ”

Cao Cao was happy when he heard it: "The decision of loneliness can make something big happen in Xuzhou?" Then Feng Xiao might as well talk about it, and he is so lonely that he wants to hear it. ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "I'm afraid that Cao Gong won't be able to laugh after hearing it, and he won't be ......able to laugh anymore."

……

A moment later, Cao Cao's almost earth-shattering, heart-rending cry came from the backyard of Xunfu:

"Tao Qian, old thief! Lonely and you will not be separated——!! ”

What happened next was actually no different from the original historical process, except that Cao Cao immediately made great efforts to prepare to attack Xuzhou, a slight difference, but Cao Cao had an additional Guo Jia who should have appeared by Cao Cao's side a few years later.

But to be precise, the current Guo Jia has not officially become Cao Cao's adviser, not that Guo Jia is unwilling or Cao Cao does not want to, in fact, the two had a long talk that night, Cao Cao's sentence "Make the lonely one a great cause, this person must also be" and Guo Jia's sentence "My Lord also" also spoke. And the reason why Guo Jia has not officially become Cao Cao is...... Guo Jia fell ill.

Actually, it's no wonder. Guo Jia's health has always been not very good, and he was entrusted by Xun Yuzhi to go to Xuzhou to see the situation, and he went with the mentality of playing in the mountains and rivers, and the situation is okay. But the semi-mid-waisted Guo Jia ran into a Lu Ren, and was pulled out by Lu Ren a little, Guo Jia turned around and followed behind Cao Hao. Before and after Cao Hao's killing, Guo Jia was in the rain almost every day, and then rushed back to Juancheng day and night, without a good rest. In this way, not to mention people who are not in good health, even people with good physical fitness may not be able to withstand it.

Anyway, this time, Guo Jia was very sick and in a mess, and the high fever lasted for three days before it went away. Cao Cao is busy with the rectification of soldiers and horses, even though he is very concerned about Guo Jia, he can't take care of it, so he can only take the time to ask Xun Yu to take good care of Guo Jia. Wait for Guo Jia's illness to recover, and then officially hire Guo Jia.

Finally, on this day, Guo Jia's mental state after the fever subsided was better, and he was not so confused, so Xun Yu personally fed Guo Jia with medicine. The bitterness of herbal soup in ancient times was well known, Guo Jia frowned and forced a bowl of medicine into his stomach, and said bitterly: "It's too hard to drink!" It would be nice to have a drink at this time! ”

Xun Yu scolded with a smile: "You still want to drink when you look like this?" Don't want your life anymore? Haven't you always wanted to do something? If your life is gone, how can you achieve your deeds? If you don't think about it anymore, I'll get you a drink right now! ”

"Don't, don't!" Guo Jia hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "Aren't I just talking about it casually!" ”

Xun Yu snorted, put the medicine bowl aside, and then looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully: "You Guo Fengxiao, there is something I can't figure out!" Didn't you plan to wait and see the situation a little more before choosing to vote? Why did you just go to Xuzhou this time and decide to vote under Cao Gong's account? Cao Gong's eloquence is rare in the world, but you don't know it now, I have looked for you several times before, aren't you still reluctant to come? ”

After hearing this, Guo Jia put away his smile and muttered: "Some things are strange. In fact, this time I went to Xuzhou, I met a person, this person said to me that Cao Gong can be the crown of heroes in the world, but said that Cao Gong said that your Wen Ruo is Cao Gong's Zhang Zifang's evaluation is a bit inappropriate, it should be said that if you Wen is Cao Gong's Xiao He, I Guo Fengxiao is Cao Gong's Zhang Zifang, and Cao Gong will be able to do my best. ”

Xun Yu listened to the music, and just wanted to laugh at Guo Jia for a few words, Cao Cao's voice came from the door: "Which wise man in Xuzhou made such a comment?" But if you think about it, his comments are more apt than those of the two of them. Thinking of loneliness is to entrust all political affairs to Wen Ruo, which is indeed similar to Xiao He. ”

After the indispensable polite greetings and greetings, Cao Cao also sat down next to Guo Jia's couch and continued the topic just now: "Which wise man said such a thing?" This person can be regarded as recommending filial piety to Lonely, and now Lonely's attack on Xuzhou is imminent, and it is inevitable that there will be no jade under the sword, but Lone does not want to spoil this person's life. ”

"Magi?" Guo Jia looked up and rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, but finally shook his head with a smile and said, "Whether he is a wise man or not, I really can't tell." I think I have a very poisonous vision and I see people very accurately, but I just can't see through this person. Obviously he is just a mountain and wild village man, but he is quite knowledgeable in his chest, and he is very accurate. The fact that Taiwei Cao would be killed by Zhang Min was told to me by him on his parting side. And he also said to me that Ming Gong will take this as an excuse to take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou in order to dominate the industry in the future. ”

Cao Cao's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Xun Yu without speaking. The people present are all smart people, and there is no need to say a lot of things too clearly, everyone just knows it.

After a long time, Cao Cao suddenly sighed, and was about to ask Guo Jia about the name of that person or something, but there was an attendant outside the door who reported: "Lord, the person who sent to Xuzhou before has returned, and the Lord is ......" There are people in the house, and it is not easy to say it directly.

Xun Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, just let him come here and talk back." ”

The attendant answered and called for someone to go. Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and scolded with a smile: "You Xun Wenruo, since you sent your own henchmen to Xuzhou to find out the news, why do you want to call me again?" ”

Xun Yu also scolded back with a smile: "Some things are counting on you? I'm not that confused! The wine in Xuzhou is fragrant and mellow, if you drink a hangover all day long, won't you miss my business? And some trivial matters, it is inconvenient for you to inquire as a scholar. ”

Cao Cao laughed on the side and said nothing, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the laughter and scolding of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, but felt that it was natural and useful. In fact, some scholars in later generations once commented that Cao Cao's team was like a salon, Liu Bei's team was like a gang, and Sun Quan's team was like a family, which should be said to be very accurate. At least in the early days, Cao Cao very much hoped that his subordinates could have such an atmosphere of free speech and daring to speak out.

After a short time, he entered the room, and Xun Yu asked him about all aspects of Xuzhou. This is about to hit Xuzhou, and of course the intelligence work must be done well. And after asking everything that should be asked, there was nothing to ask, but Cao Cao suddenly called the fine work that was about to retire, and asked casually: "Among the Qing scholars in Xuzhou, what are the interesting anecdotes recently?" ”

But don't think that Cao Cao is full and has nothing to inquire about gossip news, Cao Cao is actually understanding the opponent's social atmosphere to a certain extent from the gossip news. Let's put it this way, an opponent who often talks about martial arts will most likely be very strong; And an opponent who talks all day long...... Most of the bones of the body are empty.

But he was stunned at the time, who would have thought that someone would ask this? After scratching his ears and cheeks and thinking about it for a long time, he hesitated and said, "There are really some ...... to it."
