After that night, Lingxi gradually saw a problem. In the past, she always regarded Cao Pi as a child, and never considered some of his practices, and in the past few years, they have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet, and there is almost no communication.

But now she understands that the foundation laid by Cao Cao was given to Cao Pi, how correct this decision is, it can only be him, and it must be him.

After Cao Ang's death, as Cao Cao's eldest son, he had already matured inadvertently in everyone and disguised himself.

If such a person is called Lingxi to evaluate, she will say that Cao Pi is a hidden dragon, and he will wait to go out of the water and ascend to heaven.

It's just that he is like a poison to his affections, and like a ** that will explode at any time, which makes her uneasy.

In addition, Cao Chong is almost ten years old now, he is extraordinarily intelligent and intelligent, and he can even surpass the outstanding Cao Pi and Cao Zhi when Cao Cao gave them a few brothers to assess.

His ideas are novel and always able to win by surprise, which makes Cao Cao's love for him more and more obvious.

Cao Cao often talked about Cao Chong with his son's subordinates, saying that this son must not be in the pool in the future, and in his words, some people even heard that he intended to cultivate Cao Chong to establish a prince.

He happily said to Lingxi: "When Zixiao was over eighteen years old, with me, I often taught him the art of war, but Zixiao's brain is really not bright, and he will not be flexible, even if he is now the main general, he is still very rigid, he will learn and not use, what is the use of this." ”

"But Chong'er is different, it's a little bit clear, it really makes me look the other way, among so many children, only Chong'er is the most like me."

Lingxi, who was helping Cao Cao change his clothes, snorted and laughed: "Why do you praise your son and praise yourself." If you want to say this, I can also say that it is because I gave birth to this child, because I have a good brain, he has a good brain. ”

Lingxi paused: "But there is one thing I still want to tell you, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao asked.

"This, it's not easy to say...... Lingxi swallowed, she was not like Mrs. Bian, she was a good hand at handling family affairs, and she also knew that even if Cao Cao would ask her opinion on some things, he was very taboo about the affairs of the children in the family.

He is a strict father, and the family atmosphere is very strict, and there will never be intrigue between brothers.

But he is also a prime minister after all, and he is still a prime minister who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he is the largest princely force under the bottom today.

How could no one think about this matter of the son.

"Do you have something you don't dare to say? Just say. ”

Lingxi made up his mind, and then slowly spoke: "I know that you like Chong'er and attach great importance to cultivating him, but if you are always like this, put your favor in the light, will it bring him jealousy, according to the people below, you even want to choose Chong'er to inherit your inheritance." ”

"Presumptuous!"

Sure enough, Cao Cao's tone couldn't help but become stern: "Are you saying that in my mansion, there are also people who dare to plot against me!" ”

Lingxi had already expected it, and knelt down: "Meng De, I'm just worried about Chong'er, I don't want anything to happen to Chong'er." ”

Although as far as I know, Chong'er died of illness, and I have tried my best to protect him, and I have to take care of him every few days to see if he is unwell, but what if he is not what the history books say.

You're often not at home, I'm really a little scared, Cao Pi is not as gentle and elegant as he becomes!

She didn't dare to say the latter words, she couldn't say it, she was in such a hurry, she actually shed tears.

After all, Cao Cao doted on Lingxi, and pulled her up to comfort: "Chong'er is so smart, even if you want to harm him, it is very difficult, for the sake of your care for the child, I don't care about it this time, this kind of thing is not allowed to be said again in the future." ”

Lingxi nodded lightly in his arms.

She knows Cao Cao too well, she relies on his love for herself to dare to say these taboo things in the house, and she knows that as long as she mentions it, Cao Cao will definitely pay more attention to it.

Even if he is uncertain on the surface, these uncertainties are unpredictable and moody to others, but not to Lingxi.

……

After a period of peaceful days, Cao Pi never appeared again, and Cao Chong was all right, until the twelfth year of Jian'an, and the smell of the war wafted out again.

In February, Cao Cao issued the "Order of Meritorious Heroes", and more than 20 meritorious heroes were listed, and the rest were awarded by the second, and he ordered to give his own rent to the generals.

On the first day of May, Guo Jia came to Lingxi.

He brought a small wooden box and placed it in the courtyard of the Lingxi.

Lingxi was curious, and Guo Jia spoke: "These are all fine wines that I have saved for many years. He looked at it with pity, and said, "You and I have been friends for many years, and I will give these to you." ”

"Bonghyo, are you already drunk?" Lingxi was surprised: "These are all your treasures, why did you give them to me?" Could it be that he was banned, so happy? ”

Lingxi knew that Guo Jia was not greedy for these, but she didn't know why Guo Jia was like this.

He loves wine as much as his life, and in this life, he disdains foreign objects except for wine, friends, and talent.

"In a few days, I will follow the lord on the expedition, I ......" Guo Jia wanted to say and stopped.

"Expedition? He didn't say that he was going to go on the expedition, are you talking about Wuhuan, you have already decided to go on the expedition? Lingxi didn't know anything about it, but it was clear that this was not a foregone conclusion.

"I know that my lord will listen to me. I have a mission, and I vow to recover the Central Plains for the lord, but this is a long way to go, and I am worried that I will not return. ”

"What are you talking nonsense!" Lingxi hurriedly stopped Guo Jia, several of them called Guo Jia a crow's mouth, and his predictions of bad things were almost all successful, and when he was in Guandu, he had expected Sun Ce to die.

But he has always been full of confidence, and every time he discusses the war, he can give Cao Cao the greatest confidence.

"Lingxi, some things are predestined." Guo Jia's eyes showed sadness.

He had never been like this, Lingxi's heart twitched, and he really began to worry: "If you expect this, don't go, don't go!" I can't watch you die, I'll go and talk to Mende. ”

"Why are you so stupid? I've been deceived. How can the lord defeat the battle, I came to say goodbye to you, but I will still come back, these wines are given to you because I have made up my mind to quit drinking. Guo Jia looked at Lingxi's worried look and couldn't help but soften.

"You can rest assured, friends are hard to find, you are still there, how can I abandon my confidant."

"You're scared the hell out of me." Lingxi slowly calmed down.

She only knew that Guo Jia was praised by posterity, he was a clever ghost, and his many suggestions were adopted by Cao Cao, Cao Cao took him very seriously, but she didn't know what his life and death were.

"You must follow Meng De closely, he will not have an accident, so you will not have an accident, you know."

"Okay, I will." Guo Jia smiled.

In May, Cao Cao really adopted Guo Jia's suggestion, marched north to Wuhuan, and marched to Liucheng. They were quick and unexpected, and by the time Wuhuan got the news, Cao's army was less than two hundred miles away from Liucheng.

In the battle of White Wolf Mountain, Wuhuan Shan Yu was killed, and Cao's army won a complete victory, capturing more than 200,000 people, completely cutting off the retreat of Yuan Shao's sons Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, and unifying the entire area north of the Yellow River Valley.

On the way back from Liucheng, due to the unaccustomed water and soil, the bad weather, coupled with the rapid travel day and night, and overwork, Guo Jia actually died of illness!

When he was dying, he was still thinking about Cao Cao, but he didn't have time to finally meet and died on the couch.

The disease came in a hurry, and it could not be treated in time, so Guo Jia, who was only 37 years old, passed away.

When Cao Cao arrived, he couldn't help but weep bitterly, and asked Cangtian angrily why he was jealous of his filial piety......

This battle was another very beautiful battle, but Guo Jia never came back.

In the same year, Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, got Xu Shu's guidance, looked at the thatched house, and invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. Although he lost Xu Shu, he got Wolong.

This year, Guo Jia passed away, Kong Ming came out of the mountain, and the world was in turmoil, and earth-shaking changes were about to occur.
