Chapter 34: Seek the king's hegemony with the king
Chen Nuo suddenly came to see Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was a little surprised.
He smiled and asked, "Isn't General Chen supposed to be under General Wenchou's account, why did he have time to come to me today?" β
Chen Nuo's face was full of shame, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Nuo has been busy training soldiers and horses since he entered General Wen's account, and he has no time to come to visit Fengxiao, Fengxiao, don't be surprised!" I came this time because Ming'er will go on an expedition with General Wenchou, and I am afraid that there will be fewer opportunities to see Fengxiao in the future, so I took a day off and rushed over to accompany Fengxiao to drink and chat. β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "I'm a big idler, I can't do anything else, I'm the best at drinking and chatting!" β
As he spoke, he took Chen Nuo's hand and walked inside, while letting people prepare wine and food to serve.
Guo Jia walked halfway and asked with a smile: "Isn't this Jizhou just stable?" Why is there another war? β
Chen Nuo didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, Nuo went west with General Wen this time, and he didn't know the specific task, only that the destination was Yangcheng!" β
Guo Jia sighed lightly, stroked his beard, and invited Chen Nuo to sit down, before he said slowly: "As far as I know, this Yangcheng has always been the residence of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, and this place is adjacent to Gyeonggi, and Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu is active in this area. As soon as General Yuan took Jizhou, he was in a hurry to send troops to Yangcheng, there must be something strange in this! β
Chen Nuo nodded: "I don't understand this truth, but when I ask General Wen, General Wen doesn't tell me to wait, as long as we do what we do." β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "This Sun Wentai is nominally Yuan Shu's general, and although Yuan Highway is a brother to General Yuan Benchu, their relationship has always been discordant, so Yuan Highway is connected to Gongsun Zan Gongsun Boqi, and General Yuan is close to Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou. General Yuan sent troops this time, since it was impossible for him to help his brother deal with Dong Zhuo, then there was only one possibility......"
Chen Nuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood: "Feng Xiao is talking ......"
Guo Jia shook his head and motioned for him not to say it. Then he turned to a smile and said: "These are confidential information, ordinary people are not allowed to know, now that General Chen has told me this, are you not afraid that I will betray the general?" β
Chen Nuo laughed, shook his head and said, "If I can't trust you Fengxiao, I won't come to Fengxiao to drink with you today." β
He looked around the house again, and suddenly asked him, "Fengxiao, are you going to travel far away, or are you going to abandon Jizhou from now on?" β
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and covered it with a smile: "General Chen, where are you talking about this?" I have always been good in General Yuan's mansion, and I am not short of clothes and clothes, and General Yuan is willing to continue to use us old people in Jizhou, and we have money to take. I will neither travel far, nor will I abandon Jizhou, I wonder why General Chen suddenly said this? β
Chen Nuo said: "Then forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, since Fengxiao is not ready to travel far and is not ready to abandon Jizhou, why are these coffee tables and wooden tables in the house full of dust and have no intention of cleaning?" This is not what a long-term resident should have. β
Guo Jia smiled: "General Chen, maybe you don't know yet, I'm used to being lazy, and I've never been interested in these trivial things. Just a few days ago, Feng Ji Feng Yuantu had reprimanded me in front of my colleagues, saying that I did not govern the inspection.
Haha, although I scolded him at the time, but in hindsight, he was actually quite right. This is the true me, why should I have wronged myself for the sake of others' comfort? If he spends all that time on these trivial things, he might as well drink two more glasses of wine. β
Chen Nuo smiled, but shook his head, and said, "No, no!" This is your explanation of Fengxiao, but I have another opinion, I don't know if you want to listen to Fengxiao? β
Guo Jia glanced at Chen Nuo with great interest: "Try to speak for me." β
Chen Nuo arched his hand and said: "The reason is very simple, in fact, you don't care about these trivial things, but you are too lazy to care, or even out of some kind of resistance in your heart." Let's take the incident of Lord Feng slandering Fengxiao for your 'misconduct', you could have been full of care, but what you care about is what you really think in your heart. You refute him, you scold him, you scold him, but who knows, what you scold is the red tape of the world, the hypocrisy of human feelings? β
Guo Jia was silent, but deep in his heart, he was already secretly sighing.
The hardest person in the world to find is to meet a confidant, right?
I only heard Chen Nuo continue: "It's like Fengxiao you drinking, although you drink wine, but in fact, you drink loneliness and helplessness!" β
Guo Jia had just raised the wine jug, but the wine had not yet entered his throat, and when he heard Chen Nuo's incisive words, he couldn't help but be stunned and put the wine jug down.
He looked at Chen Nuo and smiled miserably: "Is it lonely to drink?" Is it helplessness? β
He stood up and laughed.
Chen Nuo also stood up, and when he saw that Guo Jia was already in tears, he was also startled, and hurriedly said: "Nuo is ignorant, if there is something wrong, please don't take it to heart." β
"You're right, you're right, keep talking!"
Guo Jia felt out of shape, so he covered his face with his sleeves and slowly sat down.
Chen Nuo then sat down, and seeing that Guo Jia was fine, he also put his mind at ease, and continued: "Although I want to be filial to the family, although I am not as prominent as those of the Yuan family, I will not defile myself in the world. Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept yourself clean since you were a child, made friends with Yingjun, and never mixed with the laity, so it can be seen that you are a person with great opinions, how can you be in the same league with ordinary people? β
Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Make friends with Yingjun and don't mix with the laity?" These are all things that Zhicai told you, right? β
Chen Nuo smiled noncommittally: "Of course, the reason why Feng Xiao did this is because of the dark world since the end of the Han Dynasty. If you want to be an official when you want to be Emperor Ling, you will be judged by money, and Cao Mengde's father, Cao Jugao, bought a Taiwei with a huge amount of money.
After Emperor Ling, if you want to get ahead, you must have a prominent family background. Not to mention anything else, just like General Yuan, he often considers himself the third prince of the fourth world, otherwise the princes will not push him as the leader of the alliance when they crusade against the rebels, he is the light of his family background. β
Guo Jia smiled: "Ancient and modern are the same, my generation understands it in my heart." β
Chen Nuo nodded: "Although I said that, since Fengxiao has ambitions in your chest, how can you bury it?" Fengxiao, you first served Lord Han, but unfortunately he was a mediocre talent, and he didn't have anything to say if he couldn't use you. Since Lord Han gave up Jizhou, Fengxiao, you could have left like Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, but the reason why you didn't leave in a hurry was because you still pinned your hopes on General Yuan and waited to see if General Yuan and others could achieve great things. β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "As you said earlier, General Yuan's family is an official in the imperial court, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and he can break the corporal, be virtuous and virtuous, and have the fan of Zhou Gong with one bath and three hairs, one food and three spit feeding, and many celebrities in Jizhou have a home. Isn't a person like him who can employ people the so-called Ming Jun, how can there be a reason why he can't achieve great things? I chose him, why can't I stay for a long time, why wait and see? β
Chen Nuo shook his head and said: "You and I know very well that in today's world, not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king. Who is Yuan Benchu, if you observe him these days, I am afraid that it is the clearest......"
Guo Jia glanced at Chen Nuo carefully, and quickly stopped him: "If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell General Yuan?" β
Chen Nuo smiled: "Okay, Fengxiao, since you still believe in me, then I will tell you about Yuan Benchu's image in your mind." β
Guo Jia frowned and said with a smile: "Can you guess what I think of General Yuan?" Ahaha, it's funny, try to speak for me! β
Chen Nuo was also not polite, and said: "Yuan Benchu has always put on a stinky shelf of the fourth and third princes because of his background, and he treats people with courtesy and etiquette, in your opinion, these are red tape and redundant. Therefore, Corporal Yuan Benchu's Folding Festival, in Fengxiao's opinion, is just a good reputation. Since Yuan Benchu took over Jizhou, although some talents have been appointed, most of them are good people's false names, and they have been recruited together, but they don't know how to screen and appoint, otherwise Xun Wenruo's talent will not be lost so quickly.
In the final analysis, Yuan Benchu and his people just wanted to emulate Corporal Zhou, but they couldn't understand the opportunity to use people. It is difficult for a person like him to make great achievements, so you take advantage of the matter of adults to play on the topic, although you are scolding adults, in fact, it refers to Sang scolding Huai, and scolding him Yuan Benchu. I think you have actually made up your mind after you came out at that time, and you want to stay away from Yuan Benchu and find a new master. What I said, I don't know if it's what you think in your heart? β
Guo Jia was shocked, he would never have thought that the young man in front of him would be able to understand his mind. But this helplessness came out of his mouth, but it was so thrilling.
He was stunned for a while and didn't speak, just drank the stuffy wine in the gourd.
Maybe Chen Nuo is right, what he drinks is not wine, he is lonely, and he is helpless!
Now that the words have been said here, I just have a good time.
Chen Nuo looked at him forcefully, and said: "I want to be filial to you, you have been hiding for many years, just so that you can make a splash after you come out, find a Ming Jun who can serve, and work with him to help the world in great trouble, and determine the cause of the overlord!" It's just a pity that Lord Han is not the Ming Jun in your mind, even Yuan Benchu, after you observed him for many days, finally had to be disheartened, he was just a fake Zhou Gong, it was difficult to achieve great success!
And Yuan Benchu really knew how to put up a shelf, and use his red tape to treat the virtuous. In your heart, these red tape are not as good as being willful, so you are willing to 'misbehave', but also to take action to contend with Yuan Benchu. So you'd rather numb yourself with alcohol all day than see your dreams shattered.
Zi said, if there is a way, it will be wise, and if there is no way, it will be foolish. You're deliberately defiling yourself to hide yourself, and you'd rather leave here than stay longer. Of course, when I came to accuse Fengxiao's house of being unclean, I didn't mean to offend, but in fact, I got a glimpse of some of Fengxiao's determination from these. I'm a straightforward person who said it openly, and I ask Fengxiao not to be weird! β
Guo Jia laughed, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally turned into laughter.
It was rare for him to smile like this, and he actually picked up the wine gourd and poured the liquor down his throat with a grunt. Looking at this posture, he will never give up until he drinks himself to death.
Chen Nuo didn't want Guo Jia to have anything to do, and wanted to persuade him. But after seeing him drink half of the gourd wine in one go, he suddenly threw the wine gourd, threw it a few feet away, and laughed: "I have been filial piety since then, and this can be proven!" β
"He actually called me the word table, he actually called me the word word!"
Chen Nuo was ecstatic in his heart, he could turn from a strange 'adult' to a 'general', and then to the current 'Ran', others may be very unimpressed, and only Chen Nuo understands the situation.
His 'Ranzhi' is the most affectionate title besides respect, and of course Chen Nuo cares about it.
Chen Nuo was overjoyed, put the wine cup away, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will testify for you to be filial piety." From now on, Bong-hyo will never drink again! β
Chen Nuo said, looking at Guo Jia and smiling.
Guo Jia threw away the wine jug and sat on the reed mat, not to mention, his spirit was much better, and he was a lot more handsome. I saw that he suddenly retracted his smiling face, sighed lightly, and looked at Chen Nuo: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Son of Heaven has been covered with dust, and the orders cannot be issued, resulting in the division of the princes and the chaos of the people's hearts. It's like a dark cloud, which really makes people have to worry! β
Chen Nuo saw that he was so worried, so he analyzed for him: "Although the Son of Heaven is in Dong...... They are in the hands of a group of Xiliang thieves, but Dong ...... He is violent and unkind, and he will die at the hands of thieves, it is Dong ...... The thieves can't be chaotic for a long time, although the Son of Heaven is temporarily covered with dust, there must be no danger, and finally get out of the hands of those thieves. β
Guo Jia frowned slightly: "However, why do you have a convulsion in your face when you mention Dong Zhuo?" It seems to be very painful, do you have a big enmity with Dong Zhuo, or ......"
Chen Nuo didn't know why, so he just shook his head and said, "I'm fine." β
Guo Jia also nodded: "You said that Dong Zhuo was violent and unkind, and he would die at the hands of thieves, but he was often guarded by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was the brave champion of the three armies, and no one was invincible, but I am afraid that it may not be easy to get rid of Dong Zhuo." β
Chen Nuo smiled mysteriously: "As long as it is a man, there are shortcomings, Zhuo is a womanizer, Lu Bu is also in the prime of life, the so-called heroes love beauties, if the two of them fall in love with the same woman, can they still be inseparable?" β
Guo Jia was taken aback and said, "This is a clever plan!" If you can use this plan to separate these two people, why don't Dong Zhuo get rid of them? β
Chen Nuo smiled and nodded: "Although Zhuo is not worried, I am afraid that after Zhuo dies, Lu Bu will not be able to control the situation, and Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui have always supported the army and respected themselves, but I am afraid that Guanzhong will be in chaos from now on and will no longer be owned by the state." β
Guo Jia thought for a while, and then asked: "As you say, after the chaos in Guanzhong, how will the world go?" β
Chen Nuo did not hide what he knew, and said: "Now that Liu Yan is guarding Yizhou, Liu Biao has a land across the river, these two people are the ones who keep it, and they will not make great achievements; And Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Zan competed with Hebei, and there must be a fierce battle; Although there is Tao Qian in Xuzhou, he is old, and it is difficult for his heirs to continue, so he is afraid that he will not be able to protect him; Yuan Shu is flashy, but he wants to do something else, and he will not die sooner or later; As for Liu Bei and Cao Cao's generation, ......"
Chen Nuo didn't want to say any more, the reason why he knew so much was because he took advantage of the 'prophet'. But the general trend of the world is unpredictable, because his arrival has already changed.
For example, Han Fu, he could have died later, but because of him, he still hung up early.
Now that there are variables, it is really difficult for him to say about the future of people like Cao Cao and Liu Bei. As for Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were born, and then they opened up the foundation of Jiangdong, it is impossible to say. Anyway, he can only stop at the point, so as not to be regarded as a demon by outsiders.
Guo Jia smiled: "The Liu Bei you are talking about, but is that Liu Bei who is now living in the Plains?" He is just a small county magistrate on the table of Gongsun Boju, what can he do to make you compare him with Cao Mengde? β
Liu Daer is serving as a county magistrate in the plains at the moment? The plain is in Qingzhou, bordering Jizhou, and it seems that I have time to meet him.
Hearing Guo Jia say this, when he thought that Kong Rong sent Tai Shi Ci to ask for help from Liu Bei in the plains, Liu Bei would exclaim that Kong Beihai actually knew that there was such a person as him in the world, and it seemed that it was normal for Guo Jia not to understand Liu Bei. However, he can tell where Liu Bei is, it seems that he cares about the affairs of Jizhou, knows the surrounding situation, but he doesn't know much about Liu Bei and his person.
Chen Nuo didn't explain much, just smiled and said: "I think Feng Xiao values Cao Mengde so much, presumably after Feng Xiao left Yuan Benchu, he already had a plan in his heart?" β
Guo Jia said: "I won't tell you the truth, before that, I looked at the talents in the world, and relatively compared, no one could be on the left of Cao Mengde." But after your words, I suddenly felt that I was too narrow-minded, and it was really unwise to let Mingjun around me not follow but look for others. Now that I've figured it out, I don't plan to leave Yuan Ying for the time being. β
Chen Nuo's heart beat violently, although his words were white enough, he still couldn't believe it and asked: "I don't know who the so-called Ming Jun in Fengxiao's mouth is?" β
Guo Jia stood up, walked to Chen Nuo's seat, and said: "I have thought about it, now I can help the world with me, and the person who determines the business of the overlord is none other than the public!" β
Guo Jia said, and actually bowed to Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo was so happy that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, he actually called himself a prince!
He hurriedly got up from the table, grabbed Guo Jia with his hand, and said, "How can Nuo Hede let Fengxiao you suffer this with me?" I want to promise that my current position is only a small subordinate governor, and there are only one or two hundred subordinates, and you still rely on the breath of others, and it is difficult to protect yourself, so you have made up your mind hastily, isn't it ......?"
Guo Jia ignored it and said: "As Chen Gongxian said, the so-called troubled times are not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king!" If you want to become an overlord, you must first choose its king and follow it. Again, Gong Chen, you said earlier that the world of the Spirit Emperor was bought with money. Official, Emperor Ling will judge his talents by his family background, but Chen Gong, you have forgotten a little, now the troubled times are not only looking at these, but also looking at his ability. If you want Gaozu to start a business just a pavilion official, so that he will eventually become a great business, he can select talents, rewards and punishments are clear, his ambition is firm, and the public can do it, then it is not difficult to succeed! β
