Chapter 34 Be careful
At night, in a certain military tent in Cao's camp, bursts of thick aroma were wafting out, causing the nearby Cao soldiers who had obviously eaten dinner to sniff one by one, and saliva was also flowing in their mouths.
"Hey, Yoshiho, okay? The worms in my stomach are already rising! ”
“…… Master Guo, can you be calm for a while? The time to cook a small half column of incense is OK. Of course, this is Lu Ren's response to Guo Jia.
As for the origin of the title "Master Guo", Lu Ren was also a little crying and laughing. Guo Jia's original official position should have been "military advisor sacrificial wine", probably similar to the modern "combat staff officer with the army", but that was an official position invented by Cao Cao after supporting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and I don't know where it is at this time. But Cao Cao's official position at this point is not high, and the official position that can be given to the curtain is not much higher, like Xun Yucai is just Sima, and what can be given to Guo Jia is only a master book.
"Why don't you get some to satisfy my cravings first?"
Lu Ren had no choice, so he scooped out a small bowl of fish soup from the clay pot and handed it to Guo Jia: "It's hot, drink it slowly." ”
Guo Jia took it and blew it a few times and took a sip, and after savoring it carefully, he sighed to Lu Ren lightly: "You may not know, since you and I separated, I haven't thought much about you and me, but I just think about the fish soup you cooked." Some time ago, I was sick in bed, and after pouring the decoction, my mouth was bitter, and I also ordered the cook to try to cook fish soup like yours, but it didn't taste right. ”
“……”
Lu Ren looked at Guo Jia speechlessly, and always felt that now was not the time to talk to Guo Jia about such things, after all, now was not in the same village as that day, everyone had to be leisurely and leisurely, and they could gossip all over the world. And until this moment, Lu Ren's heart was still hanging.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ren tried to change the topic: "It seems that Cao Gong is very important to you?" Before, you just said that you wanted to drink the fish soup I cooked, and Cao Gong actually sent someone to find the river stream and caught two fresh fish for you. ”
Guo Jia looked at Lu Ren with a smile: "Speaking of which, thank you a lot." In fact, Wen Ruo had mentioned to me several times earlier that he wanted me to serve under the account of Cao Gong, but I had always hesitated, and wanted to wait and see who could achieve something great before I went to work. But I didn't expect that I would meet you in Xuzhou and tell me that in today's world, Cao Gong is a hero who can show the talent in my chest. At that time, you were just an inconspicuous woodcutter in the mountains, but you said such a statement, how could I not be surprised in my heart? Under this amazement, I tried to take a look at what you said, and sure enough, as you said, Cao Gong is a rare hero in the world, and he will definitely be able to achieve something great in the future. And with such a master, I will definitely be able to make a contribution. ”
"......" Lu Ren was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he smile bitterly at Guo Jia: "At that time, if I knew that you were Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, then I would not have said those words to you no matter what." Now that I'm good, I always feel like I'm a typical cocoon, and I also throw myself into the net. Now that you are a guest and I am a prisoner, you can save me! ”
After saying these words, Lu Ren realized why the last sentence was so familiar? It took a long time to remember that this was what Lu Bu said to Liu Bei in the White Gate Tower after he was captured in the original history. Now that he is not Lu Bu, I also hope that Guo Jia is not Liu Daer.
Guo Jiale: "Kill you?" Is there any point in killing you? If the lord kills you, at most it will only vent a little bit of your anger that the lord has to send troops in advance, what other use is there? Could it be that if you kill you, you can get Xuzhou? If you really kill you, you will be able to get Xuzhou immediately, I don't mind asking the lord to give you a knife. ”
"I'm not Tao Qian!"
Guo Jia smiled: "You can rest assured." You are just an insignificant figure in Xuzhou, it is not good to kill you, I ask the lord to spare your life, I think the lord will give me this little bit of thin noodles. In addition, I always feel that you are a talent, and the lord is a man who loves talents, and you should first stoop to be a scribe under me, and when there is a suitable opportunity, I will recommend you to the lord. ”
“…… What talent do I have? If you're a scrivener, you're going to be a scrivener, and I'm just trying to eat anyway. ”
Guo Jia looked at Lu Ren again when he heard this, but he just smiled and said nothing. He sniffed it again and asked, "Is the soup ready?" ”
“…… Almost. Wait, let me sprinkle some more minced garlic! ”
They each scooped a bowl and were just about to drink, but the tent door was raised, but Cao Cao walked in in casual clothes, and when he saw the two of them, he said with a smile that only smiled a little: "You can smell the fragrance of soup from afar, no wonder you will always remember Fengxiao." ”
The two hurriedly put down the bowl and saluted Cao Cao, compared to Guo Jia was more casual, but Lu Ren was very careful. There's no way, don't mess with Cao Cao at this juncture, otherwise Cao Cao won't blink an eye when he kills someone.
Cao Cao waved his hand to the two of them very casually, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then sat down by the fire, reached out and took a bowl of fish soup out of his hand. First sniffed it vigorously, nodded approvingly, and then handed the bowl of fish soup to the ugly man standing behind him with a backhand. As for this ugly man and villain, Lu Ren knows that he must be Cao Cao's personal favorite general Dian Wei.
Dian Wei took it and tried it first, and immediately raised his two thick eyebrows: "Wow! This fish soup is delicious and mellow, and I have never tasted such a well-cooked fish soup. ”
Cao Cao smiled at Guo Jia very plainly: "Feng Xiao won't blame Gu for sharing your fish soup, right?" ”
Guo Jia also smiled: "Where is it!" I wanted to ask the lord to enjoy the delicious taste after the soup was cooked, but I was afraid that some people would say that I was slapping the horse. ”
Cao Cao smiled again, scooped up a bowl of fish soup and tasted it, nodded and then locked his eyes on Lu Ren: "Lu Yihao, in fact, I just want to ask you something." Have you ever told others what you said to Fengxiao that day? ”
"This ......" Lu Ren hesitated.
Cao Cao's face turned cold: "Tell the truth! Lonely, I won't kill you. ”
In fact, at this moment, Lu Ren, who was up and down in his heart, how could he dare to make up nonsense in front of Cao Cao? I just don't dare to say it. Hearing Cao Cao say that he would not kill himself, although Lu Ren didn't dare to believe it, but seeing that Guo Jia was next to him, he thought that there should be no problem, so he gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "I once told Mi Zizhong." ”
Seeing that Cao Cao's face sank, Lu Ren hurriedly picked up and said, "However, Mi Zizhong is not very important to Tao Qian, and he himself has hesitated whether what I said is appropriate before telling Tao Qian." As far as I know, although Tao Qian is tolerant in governing the government and the people are more dependent, Tao Qian is a little misemployed, and most of the people around him are flattering villains. Even if Mi Zizhong relayed my words to Tao Qian, it was a question whether Tao Qian could listen to them. If it weren't for that, Mi Zizhong wouldn't have been so hesitant. ”
Cao Cao asked again: "Then did you help Mi Zizhong set up a countermeasure?" ”
Lu Ren said honestly: "I don't understand military affairs, where can I find any countermeasures." At that time, I just told Mi Zizhong that Mi Zizhong suggest that Tao Qian strengthen the garrison of each city. But now it seems that either Mi Zizhong failed to say it to Tao Qian, or Tao Qian didn't listen to Mi Zizhong's words, anyway, during the few days I was on vacation in the small village, I kept hearing about any troop movements in Tancheng. Moreover, Cao Gong, your soldiers and horses came too fast, and it was too late for the cities of Xuzhou to prepare. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's complexion slowed down a little, blew the fish soup in his hand and took another sip, and suddenly said to Lu Ren: "I heard Fengxiao say that you were a slave in Bo Jiaogong's house when you were young, and you learned some flute music from Bo Jiao Gong in the morning and evening?" "Cai Yong's cousin is Bo.
How could Lu Ren have thought that Cao Cao would suddenly ask about this? However, after such a period of time, Lu Ren has long been accustomed to this fake identity that has always been on his body, so he completely subconsciously responded to Cao Cao with a "yes".
Looking at Cao Cao again, he sighed, his face was no longer ugly, but a little more regretful: "When he was a lonely boy, he was dissolute and uninhibited, but he has always had deep respect for Bo Jiaogong, and Bo Jiaogong was killed by Wang Yun, and Gu deeply regretted it. Since you are pregnant with the music left by your uncle, you don't have the heart to be the enemy of Lone, and Lone really doesn't want to kill you. You will stay in the army, and when the war in Xuzhou is over, you will be given some fields and houses to eat and wear, so that you can have the energy to write the music of the Bo Gong into a score and spread it to the world. ”
Lu Ren was stunned when he heard this, or Guo Jia hurriedly stepped on Lu Ren and then shook his eyes at Lu Ren, Lu Ren reacted and hurriedly greeted Cao Cao: "Thank you Cao Gong for not killing!" ”
Cao Cao still smiled so plainly, stood up and walked out of the tent: "In the future, when I have leisure, Gu will also go to you to listen to your flute music and drink a bowl of fish soup you cooked...... This fish soup is really delicious. ”
Lu Ren and Guo Jia sent Cao Cao out of the tent, and then watched Cao Cao go away. And there are two things that make Lu Ren feel a little crying and laughing at this time, one is Cao Cao's height...... I didn't dare to look carefully before, but only now did I find that Cao Cao's height was only more than one meter and six meters at most, and he was like a child standing with the big Dian Wei. But at this point, Lu Ren never dared to underestimate the short man, how tall was Napoleon? What is the height of our grandfather Deng? True heroes are never in appearance.
The second is that Cao Cao actually drank and walked away with that bowl of fish soup, this kind of behavior is inevitably that too much, right?
Guo Jia put his shoulder on Lu Ren and said with a smile: "Now you can rest assured, right?" Your life was saved. ”
Lu Ren turned to the side and hesitated, "Lord Guo Bo ......"
Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "It's not a formal occasion, don't be so careful with me in these official ways, you and I will have a good relationship." Also, although you and I only had one side relationship that day, I knew that you were a witty person like me, so don't be so polite between you and me. ”
Saying that, Guo Jia glanced at the barracks, and then whispered to Lu Ren with a bitter face: "You don't know, everything is good under the lord's account, but the people around are too rigid, plus the lord has a father's enmity after all, and he can't laugh if he wants to, so I can't find someone I can laugh with now." Finally, you crashed into it, and I can't stand this virtue if I don't have it. ”
Lu Ren was a little dumbfounded, and after thinking about it, he felt that it would only be good for him to get closer to Guo Jia, so he responded: "That's it...... Why don't I call you 'Lao Guo'? ”
"Lao Guo?" Guo Jiaqi said: "This title is rare. In your hometown of Jiangdong, aren't the names of people close to you 'A' or something? At that time, Elder Li also called you 'Ah Ren'. I thought you were going to call me 'Ajia'. ”
Lu Renxin said Ajia? I'm still "Ada"! Do you want to find a nunchuck?
