After spending a few happy and relaxing days with his parents, his master and uncle, his grandfather Ao Laozhang, his three wives and Xiao Liu Kun, Ao Lie turned his attention back to the expansion of armaments.

After preliminary work, Xun Yu and other core ministers have distributed part of the conscription funds to the local governments through the military government and the government office, and the next step is to raise follow-up conscription funds and carry out the first phase of conscription at the same time. The work of Xun Yu and others can be carried out so smoothly, and it is inseparable from the money and food help provided by Liu Ba, and Liu Ba's ability to control the country's economy has once again been highlighted.

While preparing for the expansion of the army, Ao Lie asked Zhuge Liang, who had returned to Jizhou, to do a good job in the defense of the Central Plains, and sent a large number of Shadow members into the Central Plains, scattered throughout the Central Plains again, spying on the movements of Cao Cao's army. Because last time, in order to buy time for the army and delay Cao Cao's march into Jizhou, the thousands of shadow members scattered in the Central Plains had all been exposed, so Ao Lie could only ask Li Ru to select a group of shadow members again and lurk in Cao Cao's territory for the second time.

When Ao Lie ordered the transfer of the Shadow Members, Li Ru mentioned something that surprised Ao Lie. I don't know if you still remember, when the Shadow members assassinated Cao Cao's fifteen capable ministers in Xuchang one after another, it happened that Guo Jia, the first think tank under Cao Cao, was seriously ill and was about to die young, and the Shadow members who were sent by Li Ru to assassinate Guo Jia did not kill Guo Jia at that time, but took the seriously ill Guo Jia out of Xuchang City and handed it over to Li Ru and Tian Feng to deal with. Transferred to Ao Lie's command.

Of course, if Guo Jia didn't survive the joint healing of the two miracle doctors. That's how he meant it; But the reality is that Guo Jia's illness was cured by two miracle doctors, but Guo Jia was not willing to switch to Ao Lie's command, Li Ru didn't know how many times he persuaded Guo Jia, but Guo Jia never changed his original intention, but only promised not to return to Cao Cao's camp to repay Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing for saving their lives, but he refused to join the camp of the Northern Han Dynasty. After all persuasions failed to achieve results, Li Ru had no choice but to report the matter to Ao Lie, and Ao Lie decided to deal with Guo Jia.

When Ao Lie heard the whole story. When he learned that the ghost talent Guo Jia was in Yanjing, the desire to meet this ghost talent immediately rose in his heart. Even if he can't recover this genius, at least he won't leave regrets in Ao Lie's heart. What's more, Ao Lie believes that with Guo Jia's intelligence, he must have seen the general trend of the world clearly, and it is not difficult to convince him, but the difficult thing is how to make him overcome the psychological obstacles. Stand on the opposite side of the old lord Cao Cao.

Under the leadership of Li Ru, Ao Lie came to the room where Guo Jia temporarily lived, and after signaling Li Ru to leave temporarily with his eyes, Ao Lie stretched out his right hand. Knocked lightly on the door twice.

In the room, Guo Jia's angry voice showed that his old illness no longer existed: "I said Wen Wei, you still don't let people live?" came to harass me for three days, didn't I already promise not to return to Cao Gong's camp again? What else do you want to ......" when Guo Jia opened the door. After seeing that it was not Li Ru standing outside the door, but Ao Lie, he couldn't help but have a trace of complicated emotions on his face. He looked at Ao Lie for a full ten breaths, and then said: "It turns out that the regent is here in person, if the regent is here to persuade Jia to serve, please don't open your mouth." ”

Ao Lie chuckled lightly and retorted loudly: "Feng Xiao guessed right, Lone is here to persuade you to work." If Fengxiao insists on rejecting people thousands of miles away, I am afraid that your loss will be greater than Lone's loss, so how about Lone's persuasion to Fengxiao or after listening to Lone's words? "Just kidding, Ao Lie is the authentic descendant of the thirteen chapters of the Ghost Valley, and the vertical and horizontal theory is a perfect cultivation, how can Guo Jia be able to push back in just a few words?

"Oh? But I don't know what the regent Shicai said, where is Jia's loss? Guo Jia was aroused by Ao Lie's unreasonable routine, and couldn't help asking.

Ao Lie smiled, pointed to the room behind Guo Jia, and said, "Isn't Feng Xiao going to invite this lobbyist Gu to come in and sit?" Hearing this, Guo Jia turned his body sideways, made way to the house, pouted and said, "Go in, anyway, you are the master, I'm just a prisoner." ”

Stepping into the room, Ao Lie sat down firmly on a chair, picked up the teapot from the table unhurriedly, poured tea into a teacup with slow movements, and then put down the teapot, and then said to Guo Jia: "I have heard for a long time that Fengxiao is a genius in the sky, known as a ghost talent, I want to ask Fengxiao, maybe you can see something from the tea in front of you?" ”

Guo Jia snorted disdainfully, and said in a deep voice: "Does the regent want to remind me by pouring tea at the right time that the grace of a drop of water must be repaid by a spring?" If that's the case, please ask the regent to take back this life. ”

Ao Lie shook his head and smiled: "Lone didn't mean this, it was Feng Xiao's misunderstanding. Even if Lone wants to take back your life, I'm afraid you may not be willing to give Lone, this great river and mountain, thousands of red dust, is it really you can give up if you say you can? If you can, then you are not the prodigal son Guo Fengxiao. Feng Xiao is a merry and talented man, and he must have a deep understanding of the tea ceremony. The gentleman drinks tea, which is called the product, and the scholar drinks tea, which is called the drink, but if the reckless man drinks tea, it is only used to quench his thirst, and he does not have the slightest artistic conception of tasting tea. Tea tasting is like this, and so is the general trend of the world. Today, all the vassal kings and princes have disappeared, and only Cao Mengde and Gu stand side by side in the world. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and sooner or later there will be a battle between Lone and Cao Mengde to decide who will rule the world. This is the same as the tea ceremony, those princes who were wiped out as soon as they showed their heads were like reckless men, who did not know the taste of this fragrant tea in the world; Cao Mengde is slightly better than them, in the troubled times, he has survived until now, and the tea ceremony corresponds to him, he can be regarded as a scholar; And the only one who is most likely to taste the world is Lonely! This is the taste of Lone from the tea, I don't know if Fengxiao agrees? ”

Guo Jia frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "You mean to say that Cao Gong is like a scholar and talented, but in the end, he couldn't win the world, because he is not a gentleman." And you. You rule the country with the heart of a gentleman and win the support and love of the people of the world, so you are the one who is most likely to be with the world? ”

Ao Lie nodded unceremoniously and spit out two words from his mouth: "Ranye!" ”

The initial disdain on Guo Jia's face gradually disappeared into invisibility, and he sighed with some emotion: "That's right, in this regard, you are indeed better than Cao Gong." So, I have no doubt that in the contest between you and Cao Gong. You have a bigger chance of winning. But what does this have to do with me? I have promised Wen Wei that I will not return to Cao Gong's camp, I just want to be an idle cloud and wild crane now, and spend this life unrestrained. ”

"You're wrong. Isn't it a pity that I am born to be useful, and I have learned from filial piety and do not think about the welfare of the people? As far as Lone knows, Feng Xiao is from a humble family. In the early years, the family was poor, hungry and cold. Isn't that what you want to change? Not only you, but everyone who has suffered wants to be able to change their embarrassing situation. Since we have abilities that ordinary people do not have. It is necessary to let one's ability shine and make more people suffering from hunger and cold get out of the predicament, which is the ultimate goal of our practice of literature and martial arts. Is that right? Ao Lie slowly guided Guo Jia in an orderly manner.

Under Ao Lie's guidance, Guo Jia fell silent, bowing his head and not saying a word. In his heart, he was thinking about Ao Lie's words repeatedly. Ao Lie didn't urge Guo Jia either, giving him plenty of time to think.

After a long silence, Guo Jia finally broke the silence. He pointed to the position of his left chest and said to Ao Lie: "What you said is right, I have lived in Yanjing during this time, and I also know some about the people here, to be honest, you are a master." It's a pity that my heart is not as wide as yours, and I have already left the shadow of Cao Gong here, and it is difficult to imprint other people's imprints. ”

Ao Lie stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Guo Jia's right chest gently, and said slowly: "Some people's hearts grow on the right side, Zhang Yide is like this, and Cao Mengde is the same. Therefore, nothing in the world is static, it can be changed, it just depends on whether you have the courage to make changes. What's more, your heart should not belong to anyone other than you, but to those who need your help and need you to lead them out of their predicament. ”

There was another moment of silent thought. Guo Jia finally hung down his arm helplessly, looked directly at Ao Lie, and said word by word: "You won." I was really reluctant to die, especially after an infinite approach to death. But I have one condition, if you can agree, I will give you my full heart. Together with you, we will bring out the hardships of those who want to get out of the situation and need us to help them get out of it. In fact, under the repeated persuasion of Li Ru and Guo Jia's two life-saving benefactors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the ice in Guo Jia's heart has already melted.

Ao Lie showed a comfortable smile and said with a chuckle, "There is no need to say goodbye to Bong-hyo. Your mind, I understand. I will never force you to be a direct enemy of Cao Gong. ”

Seeing that Ao Lie had broken through what he was thinking, Guo Jia smiled with relief, took two steps back, and saluted Ao Lie: "Minister Guo Jia, see King Yan." ”

Just because you're a monk doesn't mean you won't be able to achieve amazing things. Guo Jia can be said to be the latest core member to serve under Ao Lie, but his achievements in expanding the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty and sweeping the Eight Desolations and Liuhe are not much inferior to Zhuge Liang and others, so the people of later generations put Guo Jia in the same important position as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, and called them "Ten All-rounders". With Guo Jia's official commissioning, the Ten Parties have completed their gathering so far, and they have passed down one beautiful talk after another in the future. (To be continued......)
