In the golden autumn of October, Guo Jia was happy to have a noble son and named Guo Jin, which is virtuous.

Farmers around the country were busy harvesting grain, and Guo Jia unexpectedly received many grain and livestock from people in different places as congratulatory gifts.

The things sent by the simple people made Guo Jia look warm in his heart, two years of recuperation, and the people's recognition of his rule was the best praise for him.

Rare to have time, he led the guards to Taoyuan Village in the west of Chengdu to inspect the people's livelihood, Guo Jia wanted to see how the new households migrated after the Great War of the Old Road were like.

Guo Jia, who was traveling on horseback, was not in a hurry to go, and laughed and talked with Xiao Yi all the way.

"Lord, I don't know if you've heard of the Three Immortals of Taoyuan?"

Guo Jia's gentle expression suddenly asked solemnly: "Could it be that someone is pretending to be a ghost?" Bewitching the people of Taoyuan Village? ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and chuckled, and said, "Since the lord doesn't know, then please wait and see." ”

I don't know what Xiao Yi meant in his words, Guo Jia shouldn't be a bad thing when he thinks about it, otherwise Xiao Yi wouldn't be in the mood to joke with him.

Taoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, and it is rare to have a peaceful and peaceful land.

Seeing the outline of the village from afar, the closer Guo Jia got to Taoyuan Village on horseback, the more difficult it was to take his eyes off.

Outside the village, under the towering ancient tree, a young woman dressed in white and snow sat beside the tree, surrounded by a dozen children, listening intently to the woman's vivid storytelling.

At the intersection outside the village, another woman in a green dress and a skirt looked at Guo Jia's team with a soft smile, and not far behind her, a slightly petite woman was helping the newcomers settle down with the women of the village.

"This is the Three Immortals of Taoyuan?" Guo Jia was still more than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, and turned his head to Xiao Yi and asked.

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile.

Xiao Qiao, who was telling stories to the children under the tree, found that Guo Jia came in person, and after getting out of the children, he came to his sister Da Qiao, and at the same time turned around and beckoned Wu Amaranth to greet Guo Jia together.

Led the guards to the front of the village, Guo Jia dismounted and walked over, laughing loudly: "Taoyuan Three Immortals, if you are not immortals who have fallen into the mortal world, what are you?" ”

Wu Amaran's holy face appeared blushing, the corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth were slightly upturned, and he couldn't help but be happy, Da Qiao always had a soft smile, got out of the way and said: "The general deigns to come, please come inside." ”

Guo Jia looked at Taoyuan Village, except for children, all women, he waved his hand and said: "No, I killed a lot of evil, and I am afraid that entering Taoyuan Village will pollute the peace here. ”

Xiao Yi did not prevent Guo Jia from catching up with the three of them, so he commanded the guards to send the materials they brought into Taoyuan Village.

There was a pavilion on the side of the avenue outside the village, and Guo Jia and the three daughters rested and talked in the pavilion.

Guo Jia was a little surprised that Wu Amaranth was here, and asked, "Why is Miss Wu here?" Your brother also recruited his brother Wu Ban to enlist in the Jinfan Army, did you suffer a grievance in Chengdu and take refuge here? ”

What is the situation of the Wu family in Chengdu, Guo Jia doesn't know, for fear that there will be new bullies under his rule to bully the lonely Wu family, and the two men who can provoke the big beam of the Wu family have gone to join the army, and Wu Yuan will really be bullied, and he may not even have a support.

Wu Yuan denied Guo Jia's speculation, and said softly: "No, everything is fine in the Wu family, the law is strict under the rule of the general, and there are no bad people to do evil, the last time I met with the general, I, I am ashamed of the general, so I came here to help the general as much as I can, and I hope the general will forgive me for my previous disrespectful sin." ”

When the two met for the first time, Wu Amaran did use some dishonorable means to save Wu Yi, but Guo Jia didn't take it to heart, and said: "Hey, I have long forgotten the previous thing, you don't have to mind, if you just want to atone for your sins, then you don't have to come here to suffer." ”

"No, general, I'm very happy to come here and help the people with my two sisters, please don't drive me away." Wu Yuan looked at Guo Jia with a pleading expression.

Guo Jia was dumbfounded, and then smiled when he came back to his senses and said: "What do you want to do, I don't force it, since you want to stay here, it's up to you." ”

With a turn of his eyes, Guo Jia said with emotion to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao: "I have worked hard for you, I have suffered and suffered with me, and sometimes I am frightened, and when I see you, my heart is full of guilt." ”

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao came to Guo Jia's side left and right, and at the same time reached out to hold his hand, Da Qiao said softly: "General, without you, Xiao Qiao and I would have died a long time ago, in the eyes of the general, Xiao Qiao and I suffered hardships and were frightened, but Xiao Qiao and I didn't think so, we were able to help others with our own hands, which made us feel very satisfied." ”

Xiao Qiao grabbed Guo Jia's arm and said quietly: "General, you are as important as a mountain to Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao is grateful to the general, and being able to share the general's worries with his sister is Xiao Qiao's greatest happiness." ”

Looking left and right, Guo Jia was very moved, held Da Qiao's hand, and asked gently: "Da Qiao, you are twenty-nine years old this year, right?" ”

Da Qiao nodded silently, his drooping head slightly gloomy.

Guo Jia raised her hand to hook her chin, leaned over to look at Da Qiao's soft eyes up close, and said firmly: "Two years later, I will marry you, and if you don't agree, I will use force." ”

With tears in her eyes, Da Qiao's expression was full of disbelief, she had been waiting for this sentence for more than five years!

From the moment when Guo Jia resolutely refused to let them commit to thieves in Xuzhou City, he has waited until today!

Da Qiao burst into tears with excitement, and Xiao Qiao on the other side also burst into tears, even crying more fiercely than Da Qiao, and let go of the hand holding Guo Jia's arm, and turned around to run.

Guo Jia, who was quick-eyed, grabbed Xiao Qiao by the waist and hugged her back, Xiao Qiao covered his face, kept struggling in his arms, and cried: "General, you only like my sister, I don't like Xiao Qiao, you want to marry my sister, Xiao Qiao bless you, woo woo......"

Guo Jia leaned down, leaned over to her cheeks covered with her hands, and said softly: "If Xiao Qiao doesn't want to marry me, then I can't force it, I can only be sad alone." ”

After a pause in crying, Xiao Qiao opened his hands, and saw Guo Jia who was close with a smile, his eyes were slightly red, and he still asked with a crying voice: "Does the general also want to marry Xiao Qiao?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said softly: "If I let Xiao Qiao throw myself into the arms of others, I will be distressed to death." ”

Xiao Qiao wiped his tears and laughed, but he turned his face away with embarrassment.

"General, why didn't you say it earlier?"

After Guo Jia helped her up and sat her down, he asked, "Are you anxious or am I deliberately teasing you?" ”

Xiao Qiao glared at Guo Jia with disgust, the big stone in his heart for a long time finally fell, and it didn't matter if he was laughed at or teased by others.

Holding Guo Jia's hand a little harder, Xiao Qiao asked again: "Why do you have to wait for me and my sister to get married?" ”

Da Qiao was so ashamed that Xia Fei's cheeks flew and secretly gave his sister a look, how can he not be ashamed to speak at all, is he in such a hurry to get married?

Guo Jia is really difficult to answer this question, it is commonplace for women to marry in thirteen, four, or five, but he can only explain: "After getting married, there are many rules, and I am afraid that you are restricted everywhere." ”

Xiao Qiao seems to understand whether she understands or not, and she is in a happy mood, and now she has begun to count her words with her fingers, hoping that she will grow to the age of twenty soon.

"Let Miss Wu smile."

After all, there was an outsider present, and Guo Jia's actions and words with a little bit of marriage proposal were presented in front of Wu Amaran, which was not very embarrassing.

Wu Amaran shook her head slightly, smiling, she had heard Xiao Qiao tell her the story between them and Guo Jia, and she was deeply happy for the two sisters.

It's just that she doesn't know how strong envy she is looking at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's eyes at the moment.

When Guo Jia recuperated in Yizhou, and even had time to talk about love, the Central Plains, which never stopped the war, rose again.

After the autumn harvest, Yuan Shu evacuated Nanyang, for two reasons, Yuan Shu is not a master who can live a hard time, and the officials who need to win the hearts of the people can be divided, but the gold, silver, money and grain, he can only obtain it by searching around, Nanyang has been squeezed dry, and he has been useless for a long time, and secondly, although Liu Biao of Jingzhou did not confront Yuan Shu head-on, he took the sword sideways, and ordered Huang Zu, who guarded Jiangxia, to cut off Yuan Shu's southern grain road, and Yuan Shu also had to leave Nanyang.

Yuan Shu gathered his troops and horses to wave his army to Yanzhou, intending to swallow Yanzhou before Cao Ying could gain a firm foothold.

In terms of troops, Yuan Shu is not lagging behind, but he is not a qualified commander, and the strongest soldiers and horses under his command belong to Sun Jian's old department, so he didn't take it. Fighting soldiers and horses is the foundation, and decisive victory depends on the command ability of the generals.

In the confrontation of Kuangting, Cao Ying won the battle, Yuan Shu was defeated, and then fled all the way, Cao Ying followed closely until the boundary of Ningling, Cao Ying's army surrounded Yuan Shu's troops, and Yuan Shu was in danger.

The imposing Cao Ying lined up in front of the formation, looking at the remnants of Yuan Shu who were surrounded by He, and was about to order Yuan Shu to be destroyed, but Cheng Yu, a strategist beside him, whispered: "Lord, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, heart to Yuan Shao, if Gongsun Zan is defeated in Hebei, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao will attack together in the north and south...... Let Yuan Shu go back to Yangzhou to continue to contain Liu Biao. ”

After closing his eyes and pondering, and after weighing the pros and cons, Cao Ying decided to let Yuan Shu go for the time being and keep him, which was far more useful than killing him now.

Yuan Shu, who was in a desperate situation over there, begged Cao Ying, dressed in armor and rode out alone, and came to the front of the battle and said loudly to Cao Ying: "Meng De, if you let me go today, I will tell you that I will be the mastermind behind the establishment of a situation in Luoyang City to harm you." ”

Yuan Shu didn't know that if he didn't talk about the conditions, Cao Ying would let him go, but at this time, Cao Ying wanted to know the inside story of Dang Yue.

"Brother Highway, I promise you."

Cao Ying rode forward, twenty steps away from Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was embarrassed, Cao Ying was calm, and the victory and defeat were clear on the faces of the two coaches.

"The person who set up a situation in Luoyang to harm you back then was Yuan Shao, and he also instigated me to make trouble to Guo Jia."

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he looked at Cao Ying nervously, for fear that Cao Ying would not give him a way to live, as for betraying Yuan Shao, he should have done it a long time ago.

Cao Ying listened, closed his eyes, waved his hand to let the soldiers get out of the way, and let Yuan Shu leave.

Yuan Shu was anxious to flee for his life, and escaped from the encirclement with the remnants and went straight to Jiujiang, Yangzhou.

Suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed on a clear day, and it rained coldly.

Cao Ying, who was riding on a horse, was drenched in the rain, but his heart was never as cold as his heart.

Xun Yu once analyzed for him that it was Yuan Shao who set up the situation, but his emotions still chose not to believe it, and now, Yuan Shu admitted it himself, which made Cao Ying feel cold to the bone.

"In the beginning, you and I have been in friendship for more than thirty years, how can you trap me in injustice? Even you are hurting me behind my back, who else can I trust? ”

If the current Yuan Shao set up a situation behind his back to harm Cao Ying, Cao Ying can understand, but in Luoyang back then, Cao Yingren was soft-spoken, and Yuan Shao harmed him regardless of his feelings, which made his heart feel like a heavy blow.

Cao Ying in the rain slowly raised his head, his vulgar appearance could not hide his majestic color, and a pair of eyes bloomed with sharp light.

"Yuan Shao, there will always be a battle between you and me."
