Maybe many of the children of the family who participated in the Caifu Poetry Club returned in defeat, but Guo Jia was extremely happy.

Guo Jia, who was sitting in the carriage with Xun Yu, smiled, and Xun Yu smiled wryly when he saw it: "Fengxiao, I knew this was the case, so I pushed the invitation of Caifu." ”

But Guo Jia didn't think so, but said, "Why don't you come?" How lively will the poetry be today? I, Guo Jia, have also opened my eyes and gained knowledge, which is very good. ”

Pointing at Guo Jia and shaking his head, Xun Yu sighed: "Cai Fu has a personal grudge against you, I can understand it, but why do you have a-for-tat confrontation with Yuan Shao in public?" Losing his face is not the work of a wise man. ”

For the future northern hero, Guo Jia pouted and said, "Is the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family amazing?" Yuan Benchu's gold and jade are not worth mentioning. ”

Although Xun Yu also thought that Yuan Shaowei's famous words were exaggerated, he still said seriously: "Don't hide filial piety, the elders in the family have reminded me many times that I want to marry Yuan Benchu, and the implication is that if one day Yuan Benchu sets up his own door, the children of the Xun family can do their best." Over the years, Yuan Benchu has indeed been running around for the scholars to be able to regain their strength in the court, and with the help of the general, he has not only overturned the case several times, but also picked up many old ministers who had taken refuge and lived in seclusion. ”

Xun family members? The only Xun family who has weight in Luoyang is Xun Shuang.

In this regard, Guo Jia was helpless, he and Xun Yu had a different position, and it was not good to come up with ideas for others, so he had to say truthfully: "It is understandable that the Xun family has such a plan, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, and the protégés are all over the world, and now they are gathering the hearts of the scholars in order to relieve the party, and therefore, the scholars support the Yuan family, and faintly have the idea of promoting the Yuan family to become the leader of the scholars, so the Xun family Ciming will let you marry Yuan Shao, the generation of the Yuan family, except for Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu, speaking of which, the two of them were flying eagle lackeys when they were young, and they were troublemakers. Later, he gradually converged and began to get on the right path and worked for the family. ”

Knowing that Guo Jia was reluctant to talk more about the affairs of the scholars, Xun Yu also felt that the doorway here was unclear for a while, so he changed the topic, he frowned slightly and said: "Recently, Liu Yan, the pastor of Youzhou, personally came to Luoyang to watch the Son of Heaven, and he was involved in many activities, intending to transfer to Yizhou as the state pastor. ”

Guo Jia grinned, pretending to be flattered and surprised: "Wen Ruo knows it, why do you still come to ask me?" ”

"Fengxiao, don't be hippie and smiling, say it quickly, although I have some ideas, but I'm afraid that I won't think it through, so I want to hear Fengxiao's high opinions."

I haven't seen him for a few years, Guo Jia has not done anything right as always, and Xun Yu doesn't know what to say about him.

Guo Jia patted his face with both hands, put away his laughing expression, and said: "Youzhou, there is a concern of foreign invasion in the north, this is an external trouble." Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Zan is unruly and untamable, and has meritorious service outside, Liu Yan is difficult to control, and there is an internal enemy, and then Youzhou is bitter cold, Yizhou is the country of abundance, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and there are lofty mountains and mountains to resist the Central Plains, but the southern barbarians occasionally scratch the chaos, it is not worth mentioning, if I am Liu Yan, I will also be transferred to Yizhou to enjoy the blessings of the Son of Heaven, hehe. ”

Xun Yu listened thoughtfully, and it sounded reasonable at first glance, but he felt that Guo Jia had something to say.

The mountains and mountains can resist the Central Plains!

It was this sentence, Xun Yu stared at Guo Jia suddenly, and scolded with a smile: "Fengxiao! Are you testing me? If you don't think about it, you've really been deceived. I also guessed that Liu Yan wanted to transfer to Yizhou in every possible way, according to what Feng Xiao said, did Liu Yan have other plans? ”

Guo Jia spread his hands and said helplessly: "Youzhou is indeed uncomfortable, it is understandable that he wants to go to Yizhou, and Yizhou Mu Xuan is doing nonsense to authorize others, Liu Yan's entry into Yizhou is already a fact, but well, after Liu Yan enters Yizhou, if he secretly sends people to make trouble in Hanzhong and cut off the passage to and from Yanjing, Yizhou is like a country within a country, Liu Yan, the emperor is far away, and the largest Yizhou in the world has become his back garden." ”

Xun Yu was terrified when he heard this, but he thought of one thing again, and blurted out and scolded: "Liu Yanguo is a thief, he is a courtier in vain, and he has been plotting an artifact for a long time!" ”

Guo Jia regained a little smile at this time, and saw that Xun Yu finally understood, so he patted him on the back and asked him to breathe a sigh of relief, so as not to hurt himself with too much anger.

Xun Yu, who had straightened out his anger, pointed at Guo Jia and scolded again: "Fengxiao, I'm afraid you knew that Liu Yan had bad intentions, why didn't you say it earlier?" When he Liu Yan changed the assassination history to the state pastor when he was on the table, you must have expected the situation today, why didn't you say a warning? ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes innocently and pouted, "Who am I talking to?" Tell you? You know what? Do you think that Liu Yan's intentions in the imperial court back then, none of the hundreds of officials in the court could see it? Why don't they say it? First, it is useless to explain the pros and cons to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven does not listen to advice and only recognizes money. Second, the roots of the sergeants are all in the place, so don't they have selfish intentions? It's useless for you to blow your beard and stare at me, we are soft-spoken, the trend of the times, going against the grain is just asking for hardship, or save some heart to live a long life. ”

Xun Yu was also angry just now, and after calming down a little, he also understood that what Guo Jia said was true.

Back then, Liu Yan changed the history of assassination to the state pastor, what kind of thing is the history of assassination? In the final analysis, it is not as good as a county of 2,000 stones, but it is different if you change the state pastor, you will have the military and political power, and the power of a state will be monopolized.

It's ridiculous that the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China are still vying for power and profit, and what will happen to them when they come to power when the curtain comes down on each other's calculations? The localities have no longer listened to orders, and the centralization of power has long been ineffective, even if it is the Son of Heaven? Can the local state pastor be mobilized?

As for Liu Yan's entry into Yizhou as the king, he can be regarded as an ambitious pioneer in troubled times, if he hadn't died early and his son was not angry, not to mention Sun Quan's idea of wanting to fight Yizhou, I am afraid that Liu Bei, who recognized Liu Yan as his uncle, would not dare to make a mistake.

It's a pity that the mandate of heaven has its own fixed number, Liu Yan created the foundation of Yizhou, and passed it on to his son, so he could only sit and wait for defeat.

Xun Yu, whose expression was uncertain, suddenly closed his eyes and sighed: "Fengxiao, I want to hear your heartfelt words today, as you can see, how far is the troubled times?" ”

This time, he really put away the joking expression, Guo Jia looked solemn, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Son of Heaven is funeral, when the princes are fighting for hegemony." ”

The heart seemed to have been hit hard, Xun Yu was shocked, as if he had seen that at that time, the state pastors did not listen to the orders, and the eunuchs and eunuchs in the imperial city fought desperately, and the blood flowed like a river, and outside the imperial city, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the war was raging, and the ambitious people of the wolf son swayed to win the championship and chased the Central Plains.

Knowing in his heart, Xun Yu finally understood at this moment why the elders in the family asked him to assist Yuan Shao, because many elders were wise and foolish, and they had already foreseen the future situation.

Yuan Shao, is he a hero who can end the troubled times?

But Xun Yu hesitated in his heart, if that day really came, would he really want to serve Yuan Shao?

Confused, he raised his head and looked at the best friend in front of him, who he had admired since they first met, and asked: "Fengxiao, since you have seen that the world is about to be in chaos, at that time, where will you go?" ”

Guo Jia blinked, pondered for a moment as if he was worried, and smiled lightly: "Find a male master, try your best to assist." ”

Seeing Guo Jia's relaxed state, Xun Yu became suspicious and asked, "Could it be that Fengxiao has already chosen someone in his heart?" ”

Guo Jia didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Wen Ruo has lived in Luoyang for a long time, have you ever heard of Cao Mengde's name?" ”

Cao Ying?

Xun Yu quickly recalled in his mind what he knew about this person, and said hesitantly: "After this person was born as a eunuch, he became friends with Yuan Benchu when he was young, Yuan Shao's basket of absurd things, there is this person, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this person has repeatedly made military exploits, and was appreciated by the general He Jin, and now serves as a military captain in the West Garden, although this person has done some applauding righteous deeds, but in terms of fame, he has always been inferior to Yuan Shao, why does Feng Xiao look at this person differently?" ”

This question is not easy for Guo Jia to answer, before the Kwantung Army attacked Dong, Cao Ying was indeed unknown, that is, he was famous all over the world when he first advocated the volunteer army, and now, if you want to say that people who are more famous than Cao Ying, such as the carp that crosses the river.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "I want to praise this person's majestic talent, if you don't believe it, I don't have any evidence, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be a great achievement, it can be seen that his art of war is still superior, as for whether this person can calm the troubled times, you and I can only wait and see, and we will see later." Moreover, when the world is in turmoil, the heroes rise together, and there are countless talented people in civil and military affairs, who can finally straighten things out, hehe, it's hard to say. ”

Xun Yu said approvingly: "Indeed, with the talent of filial piety, no matter who assists will be reused, in the troubled times, Feng Xiao can show his talents and learning, build immortal merits, and establish a Ding Gong for the society and the country." ”

For Xun Yu's beautiful words, Guo Jia just laughed at it, although there are many heroes in troubled times, it is difficult to find a master, and if he is not a talented person, he will definitely be reused, Guo Jia can be sure that if he goes to Yuan Shao, most of them will be treated politely but not reused, because Yuan Shao values his family background, Guo Jia's son of Hanmen, he will be courteous and win fame, but he will not be entrusted with important tasks.
