"Can Feng Xiao dare to gamble?" Zhang Zai looked at Guo Jia for a long time without answering, and asked again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Guo Jia looked at Zhang Zai with a smile on his face, and always felt that there was some conspiracy, but he really couldn't imagine that Liu Bei would have any accident and withdraw from Xuzhou.

"Hey, is Feng Xiao not confident in his own judgment, so in this way, it's okay not to gamble." Zhang Zai pretended to sigh.

"Hmph, gamble, gamble, when the lord loses, don't blame Jia for robbing the lord's wine." Guo Jia also knew that this was Zhang Zai's agitation method, but the information received by the two was the same, although he admired Zhang Zai's ability, but he also had his own arrogance in his heart, and as soon as he was provoked by Zhang Zai's words, he immediately retorted.

"Then it's decided, this matter is not three or five years, we can't see it, we high-five and swear." Zhang Zai didn't allow Guo Jia to object anymore, and said directly.

"Bang Bang!"

The two high-fived three times to confirm the bet.

Zhang Zai watched Guo Jia being tricked by himself, and his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Pray a lot for filial piety, pray that Liu Bei can persevere." ”

"The lord still prays that Cao Mengde can quickly break Lu Bu's defense and quickly free up troops to attack Xuzhou."

……

Besides, Cao Cao, his father's revenge was not avenged, and the rear was attacked again, leaving only three cities, and finally defeated Lu Bu and forced him to the Puyang area, but he was not allowed to advance an inch, so he had to stop the army.

When I returned to Juancheng, I saw Xun Yu and others, and said, "Thank you for stabilizing the rear, so that Cao will not lose his foundation." ”

When everyone heard this, they were ashamed.

That night, Cao Cao set up a banquet in the mansion to thank everyone, after the banquet, everyone thanked them, and they all left, but Cao Cao stopped Xun Yu and said: "Wen Ruo, but what other wise friends are there, this time in Xuzhou, Cao Cai knows the importance of good strategy, and asks Wen Ruo to recommend?" ”

Xun Yu bowed and said: "Guo Jia, who was recommended before, is the most intelligent and superhuman among Yu's friends, and is called 'Little Taigong' by the villagers, and the rest of the people are much inferior. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "I don't want to miss out on such people, it's my fault, and Cao should visit in person that day." ”

When Xun Yu heard this, his face was also a little embarrassed, he thought that as long as he had a letter, Guo Jia would definitely sell himself a face, but who would have thought that Guo Jia would go to Bingzhou and take refuge in Zhang Zai.

Xun Yu's face was slightly red, and he was ashamed to bow again, and said: "This matter should be Yu's fault." ”

Cao Cao picked up Xun Yu and said with a sudden: "This matter should not be mentioned again, since Guo Jia has the heart to vote for Zhang Zai, even if Wen Ruo goes, it will be like this, I don't know if Wen Ruo still has someone to recommend?" ”

Xun Yu frowned and thought for a while, and said: "There is a friend, whose ability is no longer under Guo Jia, and he should not be out of office, but he is just ......."

Xun Yu said half a sentence, and then he couldn't go on.

Cao Cao heard that he still had a friend, thinking that he had something unspeakable, so he said: "If Wen Ruo just says, as long as Cao can do it, Cao Cao will definitely do it." ”

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "This friend of Yu is named Xi Zhong, the word Zhicai, but he is seriously ill and is now recuperating at home. ”

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu beside him, sighed, and said: "It's also difficult for Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo has already recommended many talents for Cao, this matter should not be said, since Wen Ruo's friend is sick, bring medicine tomorrow, Cao and Wen Ruo will go to visit." ”

Xun Yu hesitated: "This matter can be left to Yu, and the lord doesn't have to go." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Go with me tomorrow, this person is Wen Ruo's friend and talent, so he should visit in person." ”

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao had made up his mind, so he agreed and left.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao, under the leadership of Xun Yu, went to Yingchuan to visit Xi Zhicai.

In Yingchuan County, in an inconspicuous small courtyard, a pale scribe sat paralyzed in the room, looking at a pile of stones of different sizes placed on the table, and kept making deductions.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and then a voice came from a distance: "Zhicai, the old man is visiting." ”

When Xi Zhicai heard the voice, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he said: "If Wen Ruo visits, Shu Zhong can't welcome him from afar, please go to the house to talk about it." ”

Leaning less, Xun entered from the outside, looked at Xi Zhicai's pale face, and hurriedly asked, "Zhicai is in good health now?" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled faintly: "Now that his body is still able to support, and before Feng Xiao went to Bingzhou, he handed over all his property to Zhong, and now he can live well, and Lao Wenruo is worried." ”

After Xun Yu heard this, he also sighed, there are not many friends who are really friends with him, Xi Zhicai is one of them, he doesn't want Xi Zhicai to suddenly have an accident.

"I don't know what happened if Wen Ruo came?" Xi Zhicai looked at the people who stopped outside, then looked at Xun Yu and asked.

Xun Yu said: "The lord heard that Yu came to visit his friends, so he came with him, originally Yu invited him to come in, but the lord heard that Mr. was unwell, afraid that Zhicai would not be able to see guests, so he waited outside, this is a gift from the lord to Zhicai." As he spoke, he took out the brocade box in his sleeve and handed it to Xi Zhicai.

When Xi Zhicai opened it, it turned out to be a century-old ginseng.

Xi Zhicai was shocked, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so polite, he was extremely moved, looked at Xun Yu and said: "Since Cao Zhendong is visiting in person, Zhongdang will greet him personally." ”

After finishing speaking, Xi Zhicai tidied up his clothes, then nodded to Xun Yu, and under the leadership of Xun Yu, he went out to greet Cao Cao.

Out of the courtyard gate, Xun Yu introduced to Xi Zhicai: "This is the lord of Yu, Cao Cao, the general of Zhendong." ”

"The people of the countryside are loyal to the drama and meet the general of Zhendong." Xi Zhi saw Cao Cao and saluted him.

Before Xi Zhicai could bow down, he was stopped by Cao Cao, who held Xi Zhicai's arm and said, "Zhicai is sick, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Xi Zhicai took advantage of the situation, made a gesture of please, and invited Cao Cao to the courtyard.

Entering the house, Cao Cao glanced at the house, and was attracted by the stone on Xi Zhicai's table, and couldn't help but look at it twice and said: "I didn't expect Zhicai's life to be so simple, which makes Cao Cao ashamed." ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, smiled, did not answer, but invited Cao Cao to the upper position, and then said, "Please take a seat." ”

Cao Cao didn't dislike the straw mat either, and knelt down directly, Xun Yu on the side nodded secretly, and sat down with it.

After Cao Cao sat down, Xi Zhi took out a jar of water and wine, poured three glasses, handed them to the two of them, and then sat down at the head of Cao Cao.

"Cao Zhendong came to the cold house, only some turbid wine, and the hospitality was not good, so please ask the general not to blame." Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, raised his glass and said.

"It's uninvited, and it's no wonder that you want to be talented." Then do not dislike the wine and the glass, and drink the water and wine in the glass dry.
