Chapter 186: Guo Jia's Night Visit
The night was late.
In the big tent, Cao Cao summoned the generals and sighed. Since he started his army, he has never encountered such a powerful large array, nor has he encountered such a major setback.
Xu Chu scolded: "After his grandmother's entered the battle, it was difficult to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, so he could only rush forward and kill by feeling." Unexpectedly, there were many organs along the way, and those soldiers were all brave and invincible, we couldn't fight, and we broke a lot of soldiers and horses, please punish the lord!"
"General Xu, please don't blame yourself, this is also my fault, or underestimating the enemy. Thinking about the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and it is not surprising that there are some capable people. Cao Cao comforted Xu Chu and said.
He then asked, "Speak freely, see what is the best way to break the enemy?"
I muttered: "This formation is really powerful, for today's plan, I'm afraid only one person can break the Kyushu Yellow River Formation." β
"Who is it?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
"Guo Jia. I said.
Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Tell me to go down and invite Mr. Guo Jia to come here immediately." If he is still sick, carry him to me!"
Three days later, at dusk, Guo Jia was indeed carried to the big tent in front of the battle. He was pale, and thinner than he had seen some time before. Cao Cao held his hand, almost shed tears, and asked, "Why is Sir so seriously ill?"
Guo Jia smiled and said weakly: "It's okay, I was hollowed out by the wine, and I occasionally felt the cold, so I can recuperate for a few days." But what's so difficult for the lord to let Guo Jia serve?"
Then, Cao Cao told him the general situation of the Kyushu Yellow River Formation outside Jizhou City.
Guo Jia pondered for a while and said: "In ancient times, Jiang Shang and Shang Xuan fought a battle, and Shang Shang once set up the 'Nine Songs Yellow River Array', which is said to be unbreakable by Da Luo Jin Xian. But I've never heard of this 'Kyushu Yellow River Formation', so I don't know if it has anything to do with the ancient formation? β
Cao Cao told him to recuperate well, and he was not in a hurry.
That night, I was practicing in the tent, and I didn't know how long this borrowed Donkey Kong realm would last, so I had to practice hard. Unexpectedly, a person outside the tent said: "Has General Duan slept?" β
I hurriedly got up and walked out of the tent, where I saw him sitting alone in a wheelchair, covered in thick fur, still coughing. I asked, "Sir, come in quickly!"
Entering the tent, I poured him a cup of hot tea, and his cough was suppressed.
Guo Jiajing thought quietly for a while, and said, "Coming to disturb the general late at night is really an important matter to discuss with the general. β
I thought to myself: "With his intelligence, if he comes to me for advice, it seems that there must be something that needs my help." Then he nodded and said, "Sir, please, but it doesn't hurt to say." β
"Guan Yu left Cao Ying that day and wanted to return north to find Liu Bei, but I invited the people in the rivers and lakes to hunt him down. Unexpectedly, with the help of the general, he did not die, which seems to be providence. Guo Jia said lightly.
I didn't expect him to be honest about it as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, since he had no clue, he didn't have an interface.
Guo Jia didn't mean to communicate with me, his eyes were deep, and he continued: "I killed Guan Yu because I was entrusted by someone. What's more, no matter how he deduces, he is the prime minister's future mortal enemy, and it is very likely that he will die at his hands in the future. Cao Cheng has the grace of knowing me, otherwise although the rivers and lakes are big, Guo Jia's ambition will be useless after all. Therefore, although I respect Yun Chang's righteousness and is a hero of the world's soldiers, I can't help but kill him. But since I can't kill him once, the matter will be done, and I will leave it to fate in the future, but it is not within the scope of my consideration. β
I nodded and said, "Guan Yu is still a good person, and it will not be unfavorable to the prime minister in the future, so you don't have to worry too much." β
Guo Jia smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you know who the prime minister's real enemy is?"
"He destroyed Yuan Shao and unified the north, and the future enemies were Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong. At most, count Ma Teng in Xiliang. I replied without thinking.
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "These enemies are all on the surface, and they are nothing. The prime minister's real enemies are actually only two people, one is Sima Yi. This person has far-sightedness, and has the talent of the world, he must not be willing to succumb to others, the prime minister has not been reused for him over the years, but he has been dormant and waiting, attracting the power of the scholars, he will become the prime minister's henchman in the future. But I can't say these words to the prime minister, he is open-minded by nature and has a heart of love for talent, but he can't let him kill Sima Yi. β
"Could it be Liu Bei the other person?" I asked rashly, Cao Cao actually attached great importance to Liu Bei.
"It's not. The other person is far away in the sky, close in front of him!" Guo Jia said.
I was shocked and said, "Do you mean me? How is this possible?"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to panic, it's just that there is indeed such a possibility." Although the general was born in a reckless manner, it was difficult to gain support in this era of the noble clan, but the general also had advantages that others could not reach. You were born in the Yellow Turban Army, you were the leader of the two million Yellow Turban Army, and you were in charge of the farmer's family, although the farmer's family is now in decline, its appeal to the people at the bottom is still not to be underestimated. Waiting, the general rescued Xuzhou several times, and got the help of Liu Bei's three brothers, and there were already a lot of names of benevolence and righteousness in the Central Plains. This time I went to the Xiongnu, and made friends with the two major forces of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, looking at the whole world, who else can compete with the general?"
"I have already told Cao Cao that I have no intention of fighting for hegemony. I shook my head.
"Everyone has their own mission in this troubled world, and a character like you will not compete for hegemony today, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not compete for hegemony tomorrow. Even if you don't want to, you may be the trend and embark on the road of hegemony because of brotherhood. Guo Jia said, "Actually, I suggested that the prime minister kill you!"
"What did he say?" I wasn't surprised at all that Guo Jia wanted to kill me, but I was very interested in Cao Cao's attitude.
"The prime minister said, 'Duan Dahu is my sworn brother, like a brother, killing him is tantamount to killing me!' The prime minister was very strict when he said this, and it was the first time he had the impression that he was so strict with me. But he knew in his heart that I was right. Guo Jia sighed.
Cao Cao did not forget his old kindness to me, which also touched me a lot. For some reason, this sentence made my eyes sour.
"Why did you tell me about this when you came tonight, sir?" I said, changing the subject.
"In this world, you and Prime Minister Cao Cheng are close, if he doesn't have me in the future, you will beware of Sima Yi for him. In times of crisis, please also read his words and save him. Guo Jia said, "Of course, everything is fixed, and I don't need to worry much about what is behind me, but while I have free time today, I still have to say what I think to the general, so that I can feel at ease." β
I arched my hand and said, "Sir's sincere heart is touching and heartfelt. Please rest assured, sir, I will be careful about what you ask. β
I paused and said, "Even if I have to be an enemy of Cao Cao in the future, I will definitely not kill him!"
