Yu Ji had good intentions, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to not appreciate it, and he still insisted on entering Xuzhou City.

"Little Taigong, can't you believe in the poor way?" Yu Ji's face was anxious.

But Guo Jia smiled and said: "Old Dao, I can trust you, you said that I would have a big disaster in Xuzhou, I believe it." ”

"Why?" Yu Ji doesn't understand, the world tends to avoid evil, but Guo Jia does the opposite?

Guo Jia said casually: "Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on." Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and who knows that there is no great blessing in this great tribulation? Besides, I don't understand the mysticism of divination, and now I say that if there is a difficulty ahead, I will avoid it, and if this goes on for a long time, won't I, Guo Jia, believe in the hexagram or not in myself? With such a life, at the mercy of hexagrams, what fun is there in my life? Not to mention any ambitions. ”

In Yu Ji's thoughtful expression, Guo Jia took out the money and took Xiao Qiao and the four tigers of the Xiao family into Xuzhou City.

If there is really a providence, Guo Jia would rather go with the sky, the providence will make him have a catastrophe in his life, and he is willing to go through this ordeal.

Because Guo Jia knows an eternal truth: the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones.

Guo Jia does have the advantage of being a traveler with foresight, but how can it be smooth sailing for a successful person who wants to achieve a career? Don't talk about the before, don't talk about the after, just talk about the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, which successful person is not a thorny and bumpy road, and those potential heroes who have a great career and have not been stormy, what will happen in the end?

The heroes who finally achieved the hegemony of Wang Tu, which one did not achieve a positive result by all difficulties and dangers? Cao Ying? Denounced as a redundant eunuch, several times in danger of dying, first stabbed the director alone, and then the Kwantung Army attacked Dong Zhuo when he was ambushed, all of which were in danger of life, even when Lu Bu and Chen Gong attacked Yanzhou, Cao Ying was left with three counties, and almost switched to Yuan Shao, if there was no Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to support, there would be no later Emperor Wu of Wei, and then Cao Ying was also in death many times, Guo Jia often sighed, if the battle of Guandu, Cao Ying could not destroy Yuan Shao, that is the injustice of heaven.

As for Liu Bei, he was displaced, sent people under the fence, and there were many princes who wanted to kill him, Cao Ying, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Sun Quan, wanted to kill him and then quickly, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao all wanted to subdue him but finally prevented him and put it on the shelf, Liu Bei finally established the Shu Han regime in Yizhou, it can be said that eight out of ten hits are afraid to escape.

And it seems that Sun Quan, who is enjoying his success, is not so comfortable on the surface, he is the master of the people at the age of eighteen, it is difficult to convince the public, the battle of Chibi, the main battle of Cao Wei, and later people look dull, but if Dongwu is defeated, Sun Quan will lose his home and be in a cage. Later, in the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei raised the whole country's troops to attack Wu, that is, to the goal of destroying Eastern Wu, if Lu Xun did not come forward and Liu Bei's ridiculous 700-mile company camp to resist the enemy, those generals of Eastern Wu went directly to fight with Liu Bei, I am afraid that after the soldiers and horses are exhausted, Eastern Wu will also die.

Guo Jia came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in this turbulent era, since he decided to step on the stage of history, how could he have a relaxed attitude of traveling, and make achievements after walking around?

After entering Xuzhou City, Guo Jia soon found Zhou Tai and Gan Ning in the nearest restaurant after entering the city.

The two were sullenly drinking together, and after Guo Jia sat down, he wanted to make a few jokes, but when he saw the gloomy faces of the two, he gave up.

"Two, this Xuzhou City is in a state of flux, why are you displeased?"

Zhou Tai picked up the wine bowl and drank it with his head up, and said fiercely: "Tao Qian is not a thing. Look at the generals under him, Cao Bao, Sun Guan, and Zang Ba, all of them are a group of bandits and jackals. ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia became interested, he thought that Tao Qian was also an honest man with benevolence and generosity among these princes, but he didn't expect to make Zhou Tai and Gan Ning so despised?

After Gan Ning's calm explanation, Guo Jia also understood some clues.

Gan Ning is not as excited as Zhou Tai at the moment, because since he left Yizhou, he can be regarded as having seen through the world, and now seeing Xuzhou Tao Qian's actions, it is just a little ripple in his heart, and Zhou Tai has just arrived, and it is understandable that he is angry.

It turned out that Gan Ning and Zhou Tai came to Xuzhou first, and after going around the surrounding counties, they found that Tao Qian's subordinates Cao Bao, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other generals often acted in the county in the name of thieves, and the Danyang soldiers brought by Tao Qian from his hometown were also arrogant and domineering, arbitrarily beating and scolding the villagers, and the local scholars in Xuzhou were not quite complaining about the generals promoted by Tao Qian, and they were almost to the point of bitterness and hatred.

In this regard, Zhou Tai was angry in his heart, and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, tell me, this Tao Qian connived at his cronies, cronyism, and turned a blind eye to his subordinates' wrongdoings, why did the imperial court send him to be the pastor of Xuzhou?" ”

Guo Jia felt a little tired, his shoulders collapsed, and he said lazily: "Who the imperial court sends to go and what officials is no longer a topic for you and me to waste our lips and tongues." As for why you want to ask why Tao Qian connived at his subordinates, I have a guess, whether it's true or not, it's hard to say. ”

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, poured Guo Jia a glass of wine, and said, "I also want to hear about Feng Xiaogao." ”

Guo Jia drank the wine, and said: "Tao Gongzu led the Danyang soldiers to Xuzhou to suppress the thieves, and he also incorporated the bandits and the Yellow Turban remnants in Xuzhou. Then he became the pastor of Xuzhou, but Tao Gongzu encountered the same situation as Sun Wentai, that is, under his rule, who is the master? Is it a local family or an official of the imperial court? Sun Wentai wanted the Sun family to take root in Jingzhou, but the Jingxiang clan did not agree, so Sun Wentai went on a killing spree. Tao Gongzu does not have the momentum of Sun Wentai, he can only slowly figure it, so he vigorously promoted his cronies, let them fight with the local scholars in Xuzhou, anyway, Tao Gongzu held the military power, and when the trouble could not end in the end, he came forward to mediate with a butcher's knife, in the final analysis, Tao Gongzu could not afford to offend the scholars, but he also wanted to support his own forces, so he let his subordinates fight with the scholars, and defeated him Tao Gongzu sat on the benefits of the fisherman, defeated him Tao Gongzu personally came forward to defend his subordinates, and then curry favor with the scholars, but he can win a generous and honest reputation. ”

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai suddenly opened up when they heard it, and Gan Ning continued to ask: "Then according to what Feng Xiao saw, can Tao Gongzu get his wish?" ”

Guo Jia pursed his lips and said: "Sun Wentai has been unable to suppress the Shi clan after killing a river of blood, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under Tao Gongzu want to share the benefits from the Shi clan, isn't it whimsical." ”

Not only that, but aside from Tao Qian's reputation, after his death, the Xuzhou scholars immediately elected Liu Bei to the throne, which was also caused by deep grievances.

Tao Qian's dying made Xuzhou just an oral biography, whether there is such a thing or not, God knows. The first two times Xuzhou was Tao Qian's temptation of Liu Bei, Liu Bei dared to ask for it, and Tao Qian dared to cut off Liu Bei's head.

And Liu Bei was appointed by Gongsun Zhan at that time, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Kai was sent to rescue Xuzhou, what kind of fame can make Xuzhou highly respected? In the end, he voted for Tao Qian and got 4,000 Danyang soldiers, plus Guan Zhang, the general of Xiong and Hu, and most of the Xuzhou scholars pushed Liu Bei to the top just to see that Liu Bei was outnumbered, and borrowed Liu Bei's hand to suppress the Danyang faction's generals to do nonsense.

Even Cao Ying was deeply affected by the scholars in his early years, when he avenged his father for the first time and conquered Xuzhou, the backyard caught fire, and Zhang Miao Chen Palace welcomed Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou, if it wasn't for the scholars to open the door to greet him, how could Lu Bu have driven straight into and almost swallowed the entire Yanzhou? The reason for the defection of the Shi clan was also because Cao Ying casually killed the famous scholar Bian Rang at that time, and everyone in the Shi clan was in danger, fearing that they would become the next ghost under Cao Mengde's knife, and collectively rebelled and joined Lu Buli.

After drinking a lot of wine, Ganning and Zhou Tai felt that Xuzhou had nothing to stay, so he asked Guo Jia if he wanted to leave, go north to Qingzhou, and go west to Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Guo Jia planned to continue north, so everyone decided to stay overnight in Xuzhou City, and left tomorrow.

But when Guo Jia and his party walked out of the restaurant, they saw a family member come to Guo Jia and said respectfully: "The little one is ordered by the eldest young master of my family to invite the son to the house as a guest." ”

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xiao Qiao all stared at Guo Jia with strange looks: Is the little prince really so famous? Everywhere you go, people invite you to visit?

To know what these people are thinking, Guo Jia must explain it well.

At the invitation of Shuijing Villa, Sima Hui and him are fellow villagers, and the two have long been famous for each other.

Sun Jian, it just happened to be his meeting, if there was no friction with Sun Ce, there might not be anything later.

As for the current family, Guo Jia can only think of two families, which should be an invitation.

Is it Chen Jue's father and son or the Mi family?

"What is your young master's surname?"

Guo Jia asked lightly.

Sure enough, the family replied respectfully: "The eldest young master of my family is surnamed Mi Mingzhu Zizhong." ”

Guo Jia touched the scarf on Xiao Qiao's head, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Xingba Youping, let's go, the rich businessman Mi family in Xuzhou is invited, we have to give people a face, living in Mifu is more comfortable than living in a guest house." ”

Gan Ning said very unhappily: "Why is it that wherever the little prince goes, there are big families to offer courtesy, but no one cares about a certain brocade thief?" ”

Zhou Tai laughed and said: "The little prince is handsome, this big wealthy family came to invite the little princess, and naturally the young lady in the family fell in love with the little princess." But well, the little princess already has peach blossom luck, haha. ”

Xiao Qiao's face was crimson, his cheeks were like peach blossoms, and he hid behind Guo Jia and didn't dare to look up.

Guo Jia pointed at Zhou Tai, but after all, he shook his head with a wry smile, and could only sigh that he was careless in making friends.

The group of people marched towards Mi's house, and when they came to the door of Mi's house, Guo Jia looked at the wide open door of the house and a young Confucian who stood at the door for a long time in amazement.

As Guo Jia expected, Mi Zhu personally went out to greet him, bowed to Guo Jia, and said gently: "Mi Zhu has long admired the name of Guo Jia, the ghost talent of Yingchuan, and today I have to come to the cold house with the face of the little princess, please come into the house." ”
