Guo Jia slept until noon on the second day. The breadth of this gentleman's mind is really unparalleled, and he can be so sleepy in such a situation, but it also makes me, a master who has practiced big dreams, sigh to himself. Cao Cao came to see him a few times, but he didn't know what evil he had fallen into, as if he had picked up a piece of treasure.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry, serve the food. There was a loud cry in Guo Jia's room, and Cao Cao and I looked at each other, and he thought he was sleeping on the couch of the girl in the Qinglou.

Since Cao Cao lost Mr. Chu, the white-robed manager, he has a new manager, but his name is "Laifu". I don't know if he can come to Fufu, but he has a sad face all day long, and he is a little lady who has been wronged. At this time, he was making a bitter face, sighing and saying, "Master, this drunkard has used our house as a kiln, what do you think of this?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't be verbose, go and serve him snacks." "Mr. Laifu: "Master, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" Cao Cao said: "Then don't talk about it." Laifu said: "Although the master won't let me say it, I still have to say it." Our family has a big business, there are more than 200 maids alone, and there are even more miscellaneous servants. Now, you have recruited some people who eat and live for nothing, and you have to entertain them, which is a lot of expenses! Don't bring idlers to your family in the future, we really can't afford to raise them!"

When he said this, he always glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, as if I was the idler in his mouth. Cao Cao said angrily: "You are rambling endlessly, do you want to prepare wine and food?" Laifu said: "Master doesn't need to be angry, I still have a few good words to persuade you......" Cao Cao patted his head with his hand and said: "You ...... If you want to say it again, I'll send Su Jin to the stable to feed the horses!" Laifu was stunned for a moment, and shouted to a few maids over there: "What are you all doing in a daze?

I wondered, "Who is this manager, and why are you so indulgent to him?" and who is Su Jin?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This manager has watched me grow up since I was a child, and I have always been used to being thrifty. I have a big business, and I can't do it without him. As for Su Jin, hehe, he thinks I can't hold his handle, this old boy has taken a fancy to this maid recently, and he is fighting hotly. I want to be sent to the stable, and the smell of horse manure is enough to be blessed!"

I bowed my head and said, "Then it would be better to send the chief of fortune to the stable." ”

While he was talking, a few maids brought wine and food. The two of us entered Guo Jia's room, Guo Jia was tasting the taste of the vegetables with his hands, and when he saw the two of us come in, he was overjoyed and said, "The two brothers are so coincidental, they also came to visit the kiln today." Come, sit down and have a drink!"

I pretended to be angry and said, "Mr. Guo, don't be rude! This is Prime Minister Cao Cheng." ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Cao carefully, and said: "It is rumored that Cao Mengde is extremely treacherous, short and ugly, but he has three eyes and six ears, but is it you?"

Cao Cao was not angry, and said with a smile: "Sir looks at me like a person with three eyes and six ears?"

Guo Jia also smiled: "The male is seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, majestic and majestic, he is really a hero in the world!"

Both laughed.

Cao Cao said: "This is not a green building, but my prime minister's mansion." Could it be that Mr. Yesterday has forgotten?"

"Yesterday's events are just trivial matters, I just remember where I woke up from my dream today, the willow shore and the wind and the waning moon. Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Mr. is really a heroic and free man!" Cao Cao said, "Cao Cao has something to ask for today, I wonder if Mr. can agree?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, but he suddenly fell to the ground and said: "Guo Jia is a down-and-out person, how dare he bother the prime minister to beg for help? Although Feng Xiao only saw the prime minister's two sides, his heart was broken by the prime minister's heart. If you want me to assist the Han family, Guo Jia should be a dog and a horse!"

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Mr. Dacai, I have this intention." Please sir help me!"

Guo Jia smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Cao Cao took Guo Jia's hand, and the two cherished each other and laughed endlessly. I was obviously very happy to see both of them go crazy. Then he said: "Two gentlemen, it is very happy to have friends from afar, there is no banquet without wine, you can't fill your stomach with wisdom alone, let's eat some wine and food!"

The two sat down and drank three rounds. Guo Jia then asked me, "But who is this brother?" I saw him ask, so I said: "In the lower section, the big tiger is a pawn in Cao Cao's army. Guo Jia said: "Brother Tai led two million Yellow Turban Army Marshal Seals, and on that day, he persuaded the prime minister to retire with a million male soldiers, and beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Ugly, how can he be compared to an ordinary pawn?" Cao Cao smiled: "The big tiger is my sworn brother, but he does not serve in our army." In the future, Mr. Zhilai, there will be a big tiger, and the two of you should be more close!" Guo Jia said: "That's natural. ”

Cao Cao asked: "Now that Yuan Shao and I are holding each other in Guandu, according to the scout's report, Jiangdong Sun Ce intends to send troops to attack my Xu Capital." If Xu Du is lost, our army will definitely fall apart, and I want to divide the troops of Guandu and reject Sun Ce, what can Mr. teach me?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, Sun Ce is not worried. Sun Ce had just pacified Jiangdong, in order to fight for Jiangdong, countless heroes and heroes were killed, and the land of Jiangdong was not all in the hands of Sun Ce. If an Assassin were to ambush him, he would be a one-man enemy. In my opinion, Sun Ce must die at the hands of the Assassins!"

Cao Cao said: "Is this true? Sure enough, there is no need to divide troops?"

Guo Jia said: "And please wait and see what happens." ”

Cao Cao nodded, still a little relieved. The two of them chatted about speculation, and after three rounds of drinking, I couldn't intervene when I saw it, so I asked Cao Cao: "Since I came to Xudu, Guan Yu is my old brother, I don't know where he is now, can I go to visit?" Cao Cao said: "Guan Yu is a hero of the world, I have built the mansion of the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion for him, it is on the east side of the Heavenly Street, you can go to visit." ”

I confessed and left the table to find Guan Yu. During this time, I passed by Dong Xiangchun and bought a pot of wine by the way. Inquired all the way and walked to the Hanshou Pavilion Mansion. I saw that the door was closed, and the front of the door was quite deserted. I went up and knocked on the door, and in a short time a trembling old butler came out. I made it clear that I was coming, and the old housekeeper went to inform Guan Yu, and Guan Yu hurriedly greeted him.

"When did Brother Xian come to Xudu? Guan Yu said.

"Second Brother Guan, looking at you like this, Cao Cao seems to be quite important to you, why are you alone here?"

Guan Yu sighed and said, "Let's go into the house and talk about it." I said, "I brought a bottle of Dong Xiangchun's good wine, and the two of us will drink under this roof." Guan Yu said: "People are under the eaves, and drinking is also under this roof, wonderful!" So, the two of us sat on the steps under the eaves, and you and I drank the wine in one sip.

Guan Yu said: "These days, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has really treated me well, not only did the court crown me as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, but also gave me a bloody horse. Although I am clothed and fed at Cao Cao's place, I always think about my eldest brother and third brother, and I want the three of us to tie up in Taoyuan, but I am the only one left today. The two of them don't know what the blessings and misfortunes are, and if I don't hear from them for a day, I won't be at ease for a day!"

He poured himself a few sips of wine. The more you don't want to get drunk, the faster you get drunk, and when you want to get drunk, you can't get drunk! In addition to "death," only wine can make people forget some things that should not be thought about! Only wine can make people forget some things that should be forgotten.

I said, "If you learn about the two of them, will you leave Cao Cao?"

Guan Yu said: "How can you forget the righteousness of worship?" But if Guan Yu knows the news of the eldest brother and the third brother, even though he has thousands of miles away, he should also look for them. ”

I hesitated for a long time and said, "Don't hide it from Second Brother, I know where Brother Liu is now." ”

Guan Yu said excitedly: "Is this really what Brother Xian said?"

"Well," I nodded, "Brother Liu is now in Yuan Shao, Hebei." "So, I told me how to assassinate Yuan Shao, meet Liu Bei again, be rescued by him, and come to Xu Du to persuade Guan Yu to surrender. Guan Yu burst into tears and said, "Sure enough, God bless my brother, my eldest brother is safe and sound, great!"

As I spoke, I took out the letter written by Liu Bei and gave it to Guan Yu. I saw that it was written: "Liu Bei and his feet, from Taoyuan, formed an alliance and swore to live and die together." If you want to gain fame and wealth, Liu Bei is willing to offer his head and take the righteousness of all brothers. The book is not exhaustive, and death is waiting to come. ”

Guan Yu held the letter in his hand, and he trembled incessantly, crying: "It's not that I don't go to my brother, but I don't know my brother's whereabouts! How can you turn your back on the sprouts of the past for the sake of wealth?"

I comforted: "Second brother, this letter is written for Yuan Shao, you don't have to mind. Brother Liu is still afraid that you will go to him recklessly and lose your life in vain. We have to take a long-term view of this matter. ”

Guan Yu sobbed and said, "Tomorrow I will go to say goodbye to Cao Cao and take my two sisters-in-law to find my eldest brother." ”

"As the saying goes, brother Mo Ruo. I married Cao Cao Yi to Jin Lan, how can I not know his temper? He took you in in in a crisis, but now that you are going to take refuge in Hebei with just a summons, how can Cao Cao let you go! Even if Cao Cao is generous enough to let you go, how can his men let you go?"

"Second Brother Guan, I'm afraid you're going to die this time!" I said with a sigh.
