Chapter 30: Where it comes in

As soon as the arrangements were made, Cao Cao led the army and triumphed in Xudu. It's strange to say that when he was about to leave, Guo Jia's illness suddenly improved greatly, and he was able to ride a carriage and keep up with the marching team. Cao Cao was very happy, and just took Guo Fengxiao back to Xudu, and asked Hua Tuo to treat and recuperate; Yes Xun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart Fortunately, I didn't tell Guo Jia the whole story......

But no one expected that this was just a return to the light, and before the army entered the Jizhou border, Guo Jia lay down again. Cao Cao actually stopped the army for this reason and extended the doctor everywhere to treat Guo Jia, but after Guo Fengxiao had a high fever for three consecutive days, he finally died. Cao Cao was so grief-stricken that he cried several times and fell to the ground - he didn't expect that when he came, Feng Xiao was accompanied by a horse, and when he went back, he could only take his body with him......

On the way back to Xudu, Cao Cao successively wrote more than ten letters to Xun Yu, Shi Xun, Xiahou Dun and other important ministers who did not accompany the army, without exception, they all spent a lot of time expressing their grief and remembering Guo Jia's past achievements. In his letter to Xun Yu, he said: "All the monarchs are lonely every year, but they are the least filial piety. After all, the world is in the world, and if you want to belong to it in the future, and you die in middle age, your life is also your husband! ”

That means that you are all my peers, Guo Jia is the youngest, I originally wanted to wait for the world to calm down, and then entrust him with the matter of death (the responsibility of assisting the heir), but I didn't expect him to hang up earlier than us.

Of course, the letter to Shi Xun will not say this, because although Shi Xun is the same generation as Cao Cao, he is nearly half younger - Ye Xun is only thirty years old this year, and if you talk about his real age, he is actually only twenty-eight - Guo Jia is a big brother in front of him. Cao Cao couldn't say: "The world is everything." I want it to be in the future. Now he is dead. Those who can assist my son, only Hong Fu is also a husband! "The person is dead, you can openly say that I plan to let him assist my son in the future, and the person is still there, so you can't say this in advance, otherwise it will not be a good thing for Shixun, for himself, and even for the Cao family.

A few days later, the army returned to Xudu. Zhonglang of the five senses will lead Cao Ang to meet hundreds of officials. Immediately Cao Cao entered the Han Emperor, asked for rewarding the meritorious ministers, because of the record of the previous merits, to Guo Jia to increase the number of 800 households, set the name "Zhen", and allowed his son Guo Yi to be the heir.

Youzhou is peaceful, and the government and the opposition are all happy-pro-Han, who think that this represents the authority of the imperial court and has been restored; those who are pro-Cao think that the hegemony of the lord has been formed; The little people don't understand anything, they just think that the world will be unified. The big guy might be able to live a peaceful life. Of course, there are a very small number of people who are not happy, one is related to the Yuan family. The second is that Cao Cao is deeply jealous of his arbitrary power, and there is also - it is his family.

Cao Miao, Guan Si, and Gan's three daughters originally looked forward to the triumph of the army and the return of their husbands to their side, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to leave Shixun in Youzhou. Guan Si and Gan had no choice but to secretly miss and weep, but Cao Miao deliberately ran to Cao Cao's mansion, and Mrs. Tong GuΓ² Ding and Cao Ang tactfully expressed their dissatisfaction to Cao Cao. Cao Miao is most dissatisfied that she can't see her husband, so naturally she can't get pregnant and give birth again, seeing that the Guan family is full of soy sauce, but she still only has a daughter under her knees - if the son-in-law doesn't come out, the identity of this main room is not reliable.

Cao Miao gave birth to her daughter Shixue in the second year of Jian'an, and then Jian'an got pregnant again in the summer of the sixth year, who would have thought that she would give birth to another daughter the next year. It was Xun who pondered the name of his daughter, and thought that since it was snow with the prefix "rain", the second daughter might as well be on the same side, what should be the name? "Dew" and "fog" are so fragile, it seems that as soon as the sun rises and the wind blows, they disperse.

β€”β€”In the future, for the convenience of writing, we don't use traditional Chinese, and directly write "is cloud".

After Shi Xun named his daughter, he couldn't help but think of the general with the same name - Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong followed Liu Bei in Shu today, what is the unknown situation? I don't know what will happen to his future?

Liu Bei entered Shu the year before last, and sent Pang Tong and others to march into Nanzhong in the autumn of that year, but although the local heroes were dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's rule, they surrendered under the plan of Fa Zheng and others, after all, the forest in that area was dense and the national issue was also very complicated, Pang Tong stopped and stopped, and it was not until the second half of last year that the southern part of Yizhou was finally pacified.

Immediately, Liu Bei went north to attack Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was forced to use Zheng Du as an envoy to join forces with Zhao Wei to fight against Liu Bei, and Liu Bei joined Zhang Lu in Hanzhong in the north, and asked Zhang Lu to march into Sanba to scratch Zhao Wei. These four families were killed in an instant, and during this time, Cao Cao also sent envoys to mediate twice, but the results were limited - okay, the angel is here, let's truce for a few days; What, the angel is gone, so let's keep fighting......

Pulled back and said, Cao Miao took one by one, hugged the other, and took the two daughters to find his sister-in-law Mrs. Ding and his cousin Cao Ang, and asked to transfer Shixun back to the central government to be an official. Mrs. Ding turned her face and mentioned it to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao had a straight face: "National affairs, why should you put your beak in it?" After stretching his facial muscles slightly, he explained: "Hongsuke is just young, and he is not making meritorious contributions in other states, but staying on my side for a long time may be harmful to his future." "Didn't the little girl miss him? I'll allow her to find a husband, won't that be the end?

Cao Cao also took the opportunity to say to Shi Xun, I have no doubt about Qingyi, let you bring your family with you, how about it, it's interesting enough, right?

However, because Yun is still young, Cao Miao really can't take her daughter to the distant Youzhou to reunite with her husband, think about it, and finally send the Gan family over first. Around her husband, there is always a need for women to serve, and Guan Shi-forget it, where will the girl serve people? Besides, she already has a son, if she accidentally has another one, then how can she get it!

According to Shixun's request, Gan Shi set off with Guan Jing, and without saying anything on the road, he arrived at Youzhou County to govern Ji County. It was Xun who was very happy that Gan was coming, but he was even more happy that Guan Jingken left Xu Du and came to help, and hurriedly welcomed him out of the house when he heard the news. He took Guan Jing's hand and said repeatedly: "Mr. revisiting the old place, what do you think?" Now that the Yuan clan is gone, and General Gongsun is still alive, and Mr. is also here, is it enough to comfort? ”

Guan Jing originally followed Gongsun Zan and lived in Youzhou, and he should know more about the situation in Youzhou, so he was eager to ask him to come to help. However, before that, the master and slave duo plus a Zhuge Liang first hid in the inner room and analyzed the court situation. Guan Jing only said a few words, and Shi Xun immediately understood. Why did the "Ruying faction" change its original intention? Willing to let him live out of state. And he has a certain amount of military power.

To put it simply, there are two reasons, one is that Xun has already made it clear that he has joined the "Qian Pei faction", and the "Ru Ying faction" has completely failed to "save" him, so it is better to simply show favor to Yu Xun, hoping to bridge the rift that arose before. The second reason is more important, according to Guan Jing, the news of Cao Cao's pacification of Youzhou has just reached Xudu. Dong Zhao and others began to make a big splash, saying that the prime minister's merit is higher than the sky, and he should be honored as "Xiangguo", and he should be praised and worshipped, and he will not enter the court, and he will go to the palace with a sword, just like Xiao He's story. Of course, the "Ruying faction" headed by Xun Yu expressed its opposition, and the two sides repeatedly argued, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, so they hoped that the cadres of the "Qian Pei faction" would be able to stay in the field and not come back to mingle.

Otherwise, it's Hongsuke's mouth. If you lobby everywhere, who knows where the situation will be directed!

It's Xun Wenyan. sneered secretly, and said in his heart, Dong Gongren, you are really anxious. In the original history, it was Dong Zhao and others who arched Cao Cao step by step to the position of a powerful minister, first abolished the three princes and set up the prime minister, with Cao Cao as the prime minister, unified the foreign dynasty, and then gave praise and worship, etc., the third step was to seal the Duke of Wei, set up the State of Wei, add nine tin, and the fourth step was promoted to the king of Wei......

Then the fifth step, of course, is to change from the king of Wei to the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, but Cao Cao hesitated, and never took the last step, leaving this "heavy responsibility" to his son Cao Pi.

Shi Xun still roughly remembers that giving Cao Cao praise and worship is not named, entering the dynasty is not trending, and the sword is on the palace, which should be a matter of several years after Chibi, and now because the shape is developing too fast, the north has been basically pacified, so Dong Gongren also accelerated the pace of arching Cao Cao, and even started to act nearly ten years in advance. Of course, Xun Yu and the others are unwilling to do it, but at present, only Shi Xun can pat his chest and guarantee the ticket - the general trend is the trend, and Wen Ruo you can't stop it at all.

Shi Xun had a secret conversation with Guan Jing and Zhuge Liang, and explained his main policy of guarding Youzhou: "I want to settle peace." "I want to defeat the Gongsun forces and take down Pingzhou completely. Guan Jing asked him why he was so anxious, but Shi Xun pondered for a long time, and in the end he could only say half of his words and save half of his words.

Because it is impossible for him to sue Guan Jing, saying that he knows that Gongsun will die soon, and it is impossible to say that according to the original history, Liu Bei is a hero, and if he gets a state, it will be like a dragon entering the sea, and it cannot be copied. But the reason why he was in a hurry to seize Pingzhou was because of these two foresights.

First of all, as he told Cao Cao, if Gongsun Du can't afford to fall ill, Liaodong will inevitably fall into a chaotic situation of alternating between the old and the new, and take the opportunity to forge ahead, and the odds of victory are very high; If Gongsun Kang sits firmly in his position and stabilizes internally, it will not be so easy to attack Pingzhou again. Secondly, after Cao Cao returned to Xudu to recuperate for a period of time, he would inevitably go south to conquer Liu Biao and Sun Quan, but how big was the chance of winning? I'm afraid that now in Cao Cao's camp, no one is more worried than Shi Xun.

In the original history, Liu Biao died, and Cao Cao seized the entire Jingzhou almost instantly, but then Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces to break Cao Cao in Chibi, and then Sun Quan went out of Hefei to contain it, and Zhou Yu captured Jiangling after a hard battle and stabilized the defense line. Now Liu Biao is still there, no more courageous than Liu Cong, although Liu Bei is not in Jingzhou, but he has entered Yizhou, and in time, Liu Zhang will be defeated. Liu Biao may not be willing to unite with Sun Quan, but the times are pressing, even if the life and death feud is in the face of a strong enemy, he may shake hands and say goodbye, this plus a Liu Bei, guarding along the river, Cao Jun's chances of victory are really not big, even if he wins, I am afraid it will be protracted.

At that time, Cao Cao will inevitably focus on the southern front, even if Xun Hui's division enters Liaodong, he may not have the spirit to send generals to help. Is it really true that the Gongsun family will be passed down for three generations, and it will still be able to dominate Haidong and mix up the Central Plains regime decades later?

"Liaodongping, then the Northeast is worry-free, and it can break the Clarity, force Xianbei, and restore the territory of the former Han Dynasty. Ancient miracles, not in An, but outside, such as Wei, Huo, Ma, Dou, Si Ke will go down in history. Some words are really difficult for him to say to Guan Jing and Zhuge Liang, so he has to use beautiful words and phrases to cover up his concealment. When Guan Jing heard this, he didn't say anything special, and the young Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be enthusiastic and arrogant.

It was Xun who held a few cases, looked out the window, and said in his heart that this vast land of Youzhou is really his own use?
