Chapter 4: The Way Forward
After Gao Zhao left, Yuan Shao was so angry that he ignored the followers behind him and left quickly on horseback.
...
On the other side, Gao Zhao found an inn with Nannan and opened two rooms.
On the road, Gao Zhao also learned that Nan Nan is now alone.
Gao Zhao originally planned to share a room with Chen Zhi, after all, it was a girl, but the little girl was a little restless as soon as she left Gao Zhao's arms, although she was sensible and did not speak.
Gao Zhao carried Nan Nan back to the room and said gently:
"Nannan, you haven't eaten yet, you wash first, and come down to eat later"
Just as Gao Zhao was about to turn around and leave, Nan Nan hesitated, :
"Big brother, thank you, you... Can you take me away?"
Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly said as if Gao Zhao disagreed:
"Big brother, I can do laundry, I can cook, I can learn"
When Gao Zhao heard this, his heart was touched, Gao Zhao only said one word of big brother, and he remembered it.
Nan Nan's words seemed to touch Gao Zhao's heart, and her eyes moistened unconsciously, and when Gao Zhao was silent, Nan Nan whispered again:
"I know"
Gao Zhaoqiang couldn't help but feel the touch in his heart:
"Good"
Nan Nan suddenly smiled.
Leaving the room, Gao Zhao and Chen Zhi walked out of the inn together and bought a lot of clothes for Nannan.
Chen Zhi was a little surprised, Gao Zhao's money seemed to be inexhaustible, but he saw that Gao Zhao's mood was a little low, and he was very smart and didn't speak, after all, he himself was spending Gao Zhao's money now.
"Xiuping, you're scary like that"
Gao Zhao sorted out his emotions and resumed his cynicism:
"What, uncle, do you know who he is, if I don't do that, the three of us will have to stay there today, in the case of being at a complete disadvantage, no matter how flustered we are, we must pretend to be fearless, which may make the other party throw a mouse and dare not act rashly"
When Chen Zhi heard this, he instantly remembered it in his heart, he was used to Gao Zhao's preaching.
Gao Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief and fooled it again.
After a while, Chen Zhi seemed to feel that something was wrong, Gao Zhao's eyes at that time did not look fake, but as usual, he did not get to the bottom of it.
"Xiuping, do you want to take her in?"
When Gao Zhao heard this, he thought of this sensible child, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Of course, it's not bad to be a daughter"
Chen Zhi was a little speechless:
"Who said that everyone is in charge of not having such a great ability, in this Luoyang City, the streets are full of beggars, you are embarrassed to only take care of one person"
When Gao Zhao heard this, he spoke quite seriously:
"yes, I can't manage everyone, so I'll only manage one."
Speaking of this, Gao Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly:
"Uncle Zhi, have you not sorted out your position, you have to be clear, who is the boss, you dare to contradict the boss, punish you for not eating for a day, in the future, if you want to learn martial arts, you also have to teach her"
Chen Zhi was immediately convinced, he is now penniless, and he relies on Gao Zhao:
"Okay, good, all listen to you"
Gao Zhao nodded with satisfaction, patted his chest, and pretended to be generous:
"That's right, I'll cover your food in the future"
Gao Zhao is very satisfied with Chen Zhi's performance, Chen Zhi has been with Gao Zhao for a long time, and he is also familiar with Gao Zhao's character, and he can adapt to ordinary jokes.
After a while, the two returned to the inn, and Gao Zhao took the clothes to Nannan.
The two chatted while eating, Gao Zhao kept holding the dishes for Nannan, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Xiuping, next, where are you going?"
Gao Zhao turned back:
"There is nothing to be nostalgic about in Luoyang, let Nannan rest for one night today, and tomorrow we will set off to Youzhou first, and then go south"
Chen Zhi was puzzled, a little anxious, this kind of life was not what he wanted, and if he continued like this, when would the ambition in his heart be realized:
"To the south? Where to go, Xiuping, can you tell me the reason"
Gao Zhao was stunned:
"Didn't I tell you, I remember I told you"
In order to hide his embarrassment, Gao Zhao continued:
"Uncle Zhi, have you ever heard a word?"
"What's the matter?"
Gao Zhao took another bite of food for Nannan, and he also took a bite before replying:
"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, I'm honing you, you have to cherish this opportunity"
When Chen Zhi heard this, he lowered his head and pondered, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable this sentence became.
Just when Chen was pondering, Gao Zhao said again:
"Don't worry, I know you have ambitions and opportunities for you to play, it only takes five years, and after five years, I will give you this opportunity"
Gao Zhao knew that there were no eggs under the nest, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, wars were all over the country, but there were relatively few in the south.
Instead of running away from the world like a mouse, it is better to adapt to this era, join this era, and help a person to calm this troubled world and achieve an extraordinary world.
He has also considered various situations, starting his own business? He believes that he does not have that talent, and that entrepreneurship is not something that can be done by understanding history, and that managing a country involves all aspects of the economy, finance, people's livelihood, and the military.
Now there is only one lord who has defected, according to Gao Zhao's memory of this period of history, the choice of the lord is undoubtedly the three giants of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is displaced, although Gao Zhao is sure that he will get a piece of territory in advance, but it is definitely not in the north, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in the north, and its impact is immeasurable.
The Cao family and the Xiahou family have lived in the north for a long time.
The Yuan family and the Cao family's control over the north has been deeply rooted, and Liu Bei, who has no background, is inserted in the middle, which is more difficult than practicing the whip of Teacher Ma.
Sun Quan of Eastern Wu can do it, if he defects at this time, he can even save Sun Jian, leave Sun Ce, and have the opportunity to achieve a great cause.
Cao Cao is naturally also possible, rational use of the surrounding resources, Corporal Lixian, the "Recruitment Order" was issued by Cao Cao, in this era of filial piety and honesty, there is no doubt that it provides a channel for the poor to rise. The few shortcomings are suspicious, good people, and love to slaughter the city, but it is still good to treat subordinates.
Gao Zhao's intention to visit Cao Cao this time was to inspect the lord, but the situation made him have to leave early, offending Yuan Shao, although Gao Zhao was not afraid, but the ensuing small troubles still made Gao Zhao a little upset.
Whether there is a difference between the people of this era and the people recorded in history remains to be studied.
Yuan Shao in history is also a capable person, otherwise how could he sit on Qingyou and Hebei Sizhou? It's just that Yuan Shao is a little young at the moment, and his current impression is innumerable.
Moreover, it is not a good opportunity to go out at this time, He Jin has not fallen, Dong Zhuo has not yet entered Beijing, and the situation is too complicated.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhao looked at Chen Zhi seriously:
"Uncle Zhi, what are your plans?"
Chen Zhi was puzzled:
"Didn't you say it a long time ago, I'll go where you go"
Gao Zhao nodded, and didn't say much, after all, Gao Zhao also likes this brother very much, and he should also consider his opinion.
According to the trajectory in history, Chen Zhi was under Liu Bei and was in charge of the Bai Yu Army, which was equivalent to the captain of Liu Bei's personal guards. Although the official position is not high, he can still die well, and once Gao Zhao intervenes, he may have to change history, and he will have to give this brother an explanation.
