Before the official banquet, Diao Chan hugged her daughter to accept the congratulations of the guests beside Guo Jia, and then went to the room next door with Zhen Jiang and Cai Yan.

The delicacy was close in front of him, Guo Jia sat on the main seat with a smile on his face, first raised his wine glass and wanted to say some toasts, his mouth just opened, not a word was spit out, but everyone present saw Guo Jia's surprised and daze look.

The guests who were full of anticipation followed Guo Jia's gaze and looked out of the hall, Guo Ye and Guo Jin walked inside with two middle-aged people, Guo Jia's eyes were locked on the elegant and gentle man in the blue shirt.

"Ten years have passed in a flash, envoy, I don't know if you still remember?"

The man in the blue shirt stepped into the hall and saluted Guo Jia respectfully, and then bowed apologetically to the guests on the left and right.

When Guo Jia's wine glass fell off the table, he didn't notice the wine splashing on his body, or he didn't care.

Standing up from the main seat with a joyful and complicated expression, Guo Jia walked towards the man.

The female guests who were secretly observing the movement next door were very curious when they saw Guo Jia's behavior.

Zhen Tuo poked his head, frowned and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

They have never seen anyone who can make Guo Jia lose his temper.

Only a handful of people in this room could recognize the man.

Cai Yan smiled playfully and sighed: "Yes, it turns out that ten years have passed. ”

Da Qiao stood beside her and smiled softly: "He's a confidant in this life." ”

Xiao Qiao nodded fiercely on the side, and tiptoe to get a glimpse of that person's demeanor from the sight blocked by the Zhen sisters, whether he was still as elegant and dignified as he used to be.

Zhen Mi, who was in the prime of her cardamom years, crowded around her sisters and said curiously: "The confidant of the envoy? I've never heard of such a person. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Mi found the three elder sisters, Zhen Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong threw a playful glance at her.

"Yo, when did the fifth sister know her brother-in-law so well? Brother-in-law knows anyone, is the fifth sister very concerned and concerned? ”

"Could it be that the fifth sister is holding a grudge? My brother-in-law did hug you when you were a child and changed your clothes, but it was when you were a child, and you also urinated on your brother-in-law, so it can be calculated that your brother-in-law suffered a loss. ”

"Fifth sister...... Eh, don't cry, my brother-in-law saw it and thought I was bullying you, obviously the second sister and the third sister. ”

…… Zhen Mi lowered her head with red eyes and was hugged into her arms by Da Qiao with a smile.

"Sister, if I guessed correctly, he is his husband's best friend in Yingchuan, isn't he in Xuchang? What's the purpose of coming this time? ”

Zhen Jiang had a sad face, she knew deeply that the last thing Guo Jia wanted to see in her life was to be the enemy of the person in front of her.

Cai Yan smiled indifferently and said nothing.

Wang Zuozhicai is only a minister.

Guo Jia's opponent is a hero, not a minister.

Wu Amaran and Mi Zhen on the side did not join in the fun by the crack of the door, beckoning the female dependents of other officials, and the women talked about Fengyue among themselves, and they didn't care about the affairs of the men.

"Wen Ruo, do you hate me?"

Guo Jia's expression was extremely complicated, and there were even tears in his eyes.

At this moment, a thousand words gushed out from the bottom of his heart, and he swallowed in his throat, like a child who had done something wrong, expecting tolerance and understanding.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, in Guo Jia's eyes, are like brothers and fathers, at the lowest point in Guo Jia's life, when he was most depressed and helpless, it was they who helped Guo Jia, it was this insignificant measure that even others would understand with pity, and did not let Guo Jia go to the road of depression and indulgence.

Guo Jia's self-reliance, although his identity is Hanchen at the moment, Xun Yu, who knows him best, will definitely not think so.

Is this a betrayal?

Anyway, Guo Jia knew that he had lived up to Xun Yu's expectations of him.

"Fengxiao, you and I are not the same, but you are still the person I regard as a confidant, you and I are just ambitious and pursue differences, why do you have resentment?"

Xun Yu was smiling and extremely sincere.

The confrontation between the camps should be endless, but Xun Yu does not hate Guo Jia, if a friend can realize his ideals, he will be sincerely happy as a bystander, but Guo Jia's ideals are not what Xun Yu wants to see, so even if he has contradictions in his heart, it does not affect the friendship between the two.

There are very few perfect things in the world, and it is just a delusion to want everyone to be happy.

The tension in Guo Jia's heart dissipated, and what he was most worried about was that the two of them would turn against each other because they were their masters.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xiao Ren, and Xiao Yi came to Guo Jia's side with a wine glass, Gao Shun just came over with tea, Xu Chu picked up another glass of wine from the plate held by the person next to him and handed it to Xun Yu, after Xun Yu took it, Xu Chu said to Xun Yu with a solemn expression: "Xun Lingjun, ten years ago, Luoyang got your help in time, and we can protect the lord from danger. ”

Gao Shun raised the teacup and said: "Replace wine with tea, talk about the heart." ”

Xun Yu smiled and saluted the five of them, drank the wine in the cup, looked at Guo Jia again, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Fengxiao want to get drunk with me?" ”

Guo Jia laughed heartily, holding Xun Yu's arm and walking towards the main seat, in the closest seat to the main seat, Xiao Ren took the initiative to give up his position to Xun Yu.

All the people in the hall who didn't know Xun Yu were stunned.

Guo Jia's gaffe, and the respect that these generals in the army have for Xun Yu are all things they never imagined!

If Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Tai are also here, almost all the top figures of Guo Jia Group will respect Xun Yu.

In terms of friendship, in fact, only Guo Jia and Xun Yu are brothers and sisters, Xu Chu and others are nothing more than Xun Yu's assistance in Luoyang back then, and that glass of wine is a thank you wine.

Looking back now, if Xun Yu didn't help Guo Jia, Guo Jia might die in Luoyang, and it would be impossible to become Cao Ying's enemy.

"Wen Ruo, the person behind you is a fierce general under Cao Mengde, right?"

Guo Jia has good eyesight, seeing the majestic man who follows Xun Yu inch by inch, with a blazing gaze, a resolute expression, and an admirable majestic body, such a person will not be unknown.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "He is Cao Hong." ”

Cao Hong, Cao Hong who fought with Cao Ying in the south and the north!

A military general who treats Cao Ying like a god!

A person who said "The world can do without me Cao Hong, but it can't be without Cao Ying"!

Cao Hong's face did not change, no matter how Guo Jia would treat him when he learned of his identity, he would not panic.

The big scene of thousands of troops and horses, he can be majestic and not afraid, and now he is able to do it before Mount Tai collapses without changing his face.

"Please be seated."

Guo Jia will not do anything unfavorable to Cao Hong, the two armies are at war, and they will not be killed, not to mention that at this moment, after the battle between him and Cao Ying in Guanzhong came to an end, they entered a temporary period of peace.

The visitor is a guest, and Cao Hong's arrival should not be aimed at Guo Jia, but just to protect Xun Yu.

After all, from Xuchang to Chengdu, it is difficult to ensure a smooth journey, with Cao Hong's escort, Xun Yu's safety has been guaranteed, and it can be seen that Cao Ying can let Cao Hong be Xun Yu's guard, which shows the importance of Xun Yu.

Xiao Yi also gave up his position to Cao Hong, and now, Xun Yu and Cao Hong were really treated as guests by Guo Jia.

"Everyone, this one is Xun Yu, and next to him is Cao Hong."

Guo Jia lightly introduced the two to everyone in the hall.

From the overall situation, Xun Yu and Cao Hong are branded as Cao Ying, it is impossible for Guo Jia to hype them up in front of Yizhou officials, and there is no need, what others think of Xun Yu and Cao Hong is actually not important.

But Xun Yu, who has the name of Wang Zuozhi, obviously surprised everyone in the hall.

Even Qin Mi stared at Xun Yu for a long time.

They are in Yizhou, and most of the talents of the pillars of the Central Plains are famous but have not met, and Xun Yu's name has already been passed into their ears.

Behind every successful prince, there must be one or even a group of low-key and pragmatic wizards.

Xun Yu's ability may not be to lead troops to fight, but his foresight and overall view are unmatched in the world.

If Cao Ying did not have Xun Yu, he might not have the foundation of the Central Plains that rose today.

Cao Ying, who was attacked by Lu Bu and only had three counties left, already had the idea of defecting to Yuan Shao, if it wasn't for Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to support Cao Ying, so that Cao Ying regained confidence to fight back against Lu Bu, I am afraid that the annihilation of Xiong in the troubled times would have already been sent to the fence.

The Son of Heaven ordered the princes, Xun Yu was a staunch supporter, and the strategy of the past and the present enabled Cao Yu to stand on the political commanding heights to suppress dissidents and gradually become stronger.

Xun Yu, who is in the middle, is the best helper for Cao Ying to be able to relieve his worries and lead the army.

From another point of view, after the death of Xun Shuang, who ranked as the third duke, Xun Yu joined Cao Ying, which was actually a weather vane.

Since ancient Yingchuan is talented, the family that leads the contemporary Central Plains scholars is the Xun family, whether it is the Xun family eight dragons or the successors of Xun Chen, Xun Yu, Xun You, etc., not only carry the banner of the Xun family, but also affect the movement of the scholars in the Central Plains.

This point, just like Qin Mi's service to Guo Jia back then, is an example and an example, which affects not the local subtleties, but the overall situation.

Guo Jia is an outsider to Yizhou, and Yizhou officials do not know much about Guo Jia's past, they do not know who Guo Jia's friends were when he was young, and what small things Guo Jia did when he was young that are not known to outsiders.

Today, they know that Guo Jia and Xun Yu are close friends.

One is a monarch and the other is a minister, but they are in different camps.

In the eyes of Qin Mi and others, it is a pity.

Yes, if Xun Yu can assist Guo Jia, Guo Jia will be like a tiger with wings, and if he can become a hegemon in the future, this pair of lords and ministers may be a good story for thousands of years.

It's a pity that Xun Yu's sentence "You and I are different and don't conspire with each other" has already made his position clear.

Between them, they are enemies in public, and they are confidants in private.

The contradiction is awe-inspiring.
