Because of the arrival of Xun Yu in this banquet, Guo Jia was particularly happy, staggered, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, never mentioned official affairs, and only Fengyue was in the conversation.

When everyone's interest was high, Guo Jia called Guo Jin over and asked him to recite "Will Enter the Wine" written a few days ago in public, and everyone was fascinated and applauded.

At the end of the banquet, the drunken Xu Chu scolded and scolded Xu Yi, who was already unconscious, and Guo Ye, the culprit, had no time to gloat, and ran outside the hall to vomit a mess, Cai Yan really couldn't stand it, and took Guo Ye back directly outside the hall.

It was not until late at night that the banquet ended, and the guests returned with joy.

Cao Hong helped Xun Yu to the guest room in Guo Jia's mansion, and after walking out of the door, looking at the light moonlight, Cao Hong said to himself puzzled: "Xun Lingjun, I have only been drunk for several years. ”

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the relationship between Xun Yu and Guo Jia, they are both chasing ideals, but they have chosen different paths.

Xun Yu's trip was an official matter, but it happened that he happened to meet Guo Jia for a feast, and the next morning, Guo Jia formally met Xun Yu again in the hall of the Yizhou Mansion.

Cao Hong handed over several brocade boxes, and Guo Jia took them and put them on the table without opening them.

This is the official seal and ribbon of the hussar general and the Marquis of Wuyang.

Xun Yu took this trip to express Cao Ying's sincerity.

Guo Jia was promoted to an official and promoted to a knighthood, and the seal ribbon could not be left behind, not only sent, but also sent by Xun Yu.

It is undeniable that Cao Ying is using Xun Yu and Guo Jia's personal relationship to make a fuss, wanting Guo Jia to truly experience his sincerity and turn hostility into friendship with each other.

This time, Guo Jia and Xun Yu had a long talk.

Putting aside personal relations, Xun Yu proposed that Guo Jia form an alliance with Cao Ying's strategic surname.

It means that Cao Ying is in Kanto and Guo Jia is in Kansai.

Guo Jia did not disturb Cao Ying to pacify the Kanto region, and Cao Ying did not come to obstruct Guo Jia from unifying the Kanto region.

That is to say, before Cao Ying defeated Yuan Shao and eliminated Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu, Cao Ying would not fight the Kansai idea.

And Guo Jia can't come to fight the idea of Kanto before he exterminates Han Sui and Ma Chao and pacifies southern Sichuan.

This strategic alliance seems to be only that the well water of the two sides does not interfere with the river water, and it is beneficial to Guo Jia.

Cao Ying has a series of opponents, and he does not have an absolute advantage, on the other hand, Guo Jia is invincible in Kansai, and there are only a handful of opponents.

Counting the time and speed, Guo Jia must be able to unify Kansai one step earlier than Cao Ying, and then, Guo Jia can break the agreement and attack Kanto, because their alliance is a secret treaty, and outsiders will not know that there is such a thing.

If the current Guo Jia is just an ordinary person and has no advantage of crossing, he is not Guo Jia in history, but an ordinary person who grew up in the Three Kingdoms era.

Then, he must not be able to see through Cao Ying's intentions.

Cao Ying's soldiers and horses are already mobilizing, pointing directly at Shouchun, with the purpose of exterminating Yuan Shu.

And Guo Jia has entered a new round of recuperation, and he will not take the initiative to start the war in the near future.

In other words, Cao Ying is expanding, and Guo Jia is standing still.

Cao Ying's strategy in the next few years will definitely be to compete with Yuan Shao.

In the eyes of ordinary people, what will be the result of these two fierce tigers fighting to the death? Yuan Shao definitely has a chance of winning more than ninety percent!

In terms of fame, soldiers and horses, and comprehensive strength, Cao Ying is not even half as good as Yuan Shao.

The Battle of Guandu will forever be recorded in history, in addition to being a major battle in the Three Kingdoms era to establish the pattern of princes, this is also a classic battle with a huge disparity in strength to defeat the strong!

Defeating the strong with the weak means that at least eighty percent of the people in the world have lost their eyes, and they will not think that Cao Ying will defeat Yuan Shao.

If Guo Jia was an ordinary person, he would definitely think that Cao Ying had lost, but he knew the result of Guandu.

Cao Ying didn't want Guo Jia to participate in the battle of Yuan Cao, because he didn't want variables on the battlefield.

And once the battle of Yuan Cao is over, even if Guo Jia dominates Guanxi, Cao Ying in Guandong will have at least the territory of the six states in the world, that is, half of the country!

Who will be optimistic about Cao Ying at this time?

The two people who sat opposite each other for a secret conversation, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, will be optimistic about Cao Ying!

Of course, Cao Ying must focus on the direction of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao at the moment, he is passively starting a war, and it is impossible to take the initiative to provoke Yuan Shao.

Once the battle of Yuan Cao started, Guo Jia's attitude was extremely important, if he went out of the east of the Guandong, the first thing to bear the brunt of it would be Cao Ying's suffering.

Therefore, Cao Ying wanted to appease Guo Jia and let Xun Yu come to form a secret alliance.

It sounds like everything is beneficial to Guo Jia, but Cao Ying defeated Yuan Shao, I'm afraid he won't be so polite to Guo Jia.

Of course, if Cao Ying loses, there will be no aftermath.

Will Guo Jia agree to such a covenant?

He will!

Cao Ying hoped that Guo Jia would guard himself in Guanxi, and Guo Jia did as he wished.

The covenant is used for betrayal in Guo Jia's eyes.

What's more, everyone is Hanchen, can the ministers make such a strategic alliance with the ministers?

Historically, Shu Han and Eastern Wu signed an alliance in black and white, and this covenant clearly stipulated the agreement that should be followed between the two countries, and in this covenant, only one name was mentioned: Zhuge Liang. Sun Quan was full of emotion, and wrote in the covenant that the two countries were able to conclude this alliance because of Zhuge Liang's credit.

It was probably the most peaceful covenant in history and lasted until the end, and Shu Han and Eastern Wu did not invade each other for decades until the fall of both countries.

Covenants exist between countries and countries.

How could a prince in the name of Hanchen make a covenant?

Even if the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo and formed an alliance, it was only a verbal agreement not to invade each other and unanimously to fight against Dong, as a result, this fragile gentleman's agreement was quickly torn apart, and the person who violated the alliance was Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance against Dong.

However, Cao Ying wanted to paralyze Guo Jia with a good covenant for Guo Jiali, so that Guo Jia could watch from the sidelines, and Guo Jia let him get his wish.

When the battle of Guandu started, at the most critical time, Guo Jia entered the battlefield by surprise, and this strategy was always Guo Jia's firm implementation in the future.

Facing Xun Yu, Guo Jia was inconsistent and seemed to be hypocritical, but Guo Jia knew that his opponent was Cao Ying, and Xun Yu was just an emotional card played by Cao Ying.

Not only women can tug at men's heartstrings, but in men's eyes, there can never be only women.

After the matter was negotiated, Guo Jia and Xun Yu made a verbal agreement, and it was impossible to set up a certificate in black and white.

"I heard that Zhicai went to Mount Emei to recuperate?"

Xun Yu only learned about Xi Zhicai's affairs when he entered Chengdu, and he was also worried about it for a few days, first public and then private, so he asked now.

Guo Jia sighed lightly, and then invited: "Wen Ruo and Zhicai haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't you go to Mount Emei with me to visit him." ”

Xun Yu thought about it, Cao Ying's army is about to be shouchun, at this juncture, he doesn't have much time, but since he has come all the way to Chengdu, he can't delay much time when he goes to Mount Emei.

Seeing that he agreed, Guo Jia asked Qin Mi to arrange trivial matters, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu, accompanied by Qin Mi, went out of the city overnight and went straight to Mount Emei.

Mount Emei Heavenly Master Palace here to recuperate for a period of time to recuperate in the drama of the complexion improved, the body gradually recovered, compared to the previous skinny appearance is much better, morning and evening under the personal supervision of Zuo Ci to practice martial arts to strengthen the body, Ping said to read the Taoist classics, pure heart and few desires, get rid of the distractions and worries in the heart, but really live an idle cloud and wild crane-like day.

Today, I plan to get up early in the morning to practice martial arts, and then go to Emei Mountain with my wife to walk around, the autumn wind is bleak, Xi Zhicai is still sweating, in front of the palace to practice martial arts with Taoist disciples, the young and strong young man wearing Taoist robes is full of energy, and he has been drinking and practicing for a long time without panting, but Xi Zhicai's legs are sore and weak, and he is almost tired and lying down.

Zuo Ci kept shaking his head as he watched from the sidelines.

"Hey, back then, you practiced martial arts with Xiao Taigong, and it was okay to insist on it for a long time, why is it that now a set of punches is like killing you?"

Xi Zhicai simply lay on the floor, didn't care about the young man snickering on the side, and said breathlessly: "Over the years, I have indeed slacked off. ”

has been busy with political affairs for several years, Guo Jia is much more idle than Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia is healthy when he is free at home, and Xi Zhicai is almost the same as a 9-to-5 office worker, or even more tired, and he is doing civilian work, and it is reasonable for his physical fitness to deteriorate.

"Rest for half an hour, practice again, your body will get better sooner, you can go back to Chengdu as soon as possible, and I can also give an explanation to the little princess, benefiting myself and others."

Zuo Ci squatted beside Xi Zhicai, scratching his head without the demeanor of a grandmaster at all.

He has always liked to be idle, and when he has nothing to do, he will go to the mountains to collect medicines, see what is going on, and teach his disciples to solve their doubts, which is what Yu Ji generally does.

didn't expect Guo Jia to give him such an errand, and Zuo Ci felt helpless.

"When did Xi Zhicai be like Guo Fengxiao, regardless of the occasion and demeanor, lying on the ground like this, it is insulting and indecent."

Xi Zhicai, who was lying on the ground, had a dull expression, and his eyes looked at the blue sky with a surprise color.

This voice is familiar.

Sealed memories poured in like a flood.

Turning over and getting up, Xi Zhi followed the prestige, and not far away, Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at him with smiles.

"Oops! Wen Ruo! It's Wen Ruo! I read that right! ”

Xi Zhicai trotted over, and almost danced in front of Xun Yu, unable to even say a word.

The palace view is simple, the birds are full of flowers, and the natural breath of heaven and earth is refreshing and particularly pleasant.

In the leisurely courtyard, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xun Yu sat together, reminiscing about the old relationship, chatting about the current situation, and they were embarrassed.

Time has passed, and they are separated, and each is his own master, which sounds very regrettable, but they will not say a word of discouragement or rebellion to each other.

At the very least, the three people who had lofty ambitions when they were young have not ended up with a talent to this day.

Xun Yu met Bole Cao Ying, and Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia worked hard to build a foundation today.

The three people who used to play the piano and sing eloquently in a simple house in Yingchuan have become dragons and swallow the world because of the great changes in the world.
