Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 425 Leaving Jinyang
For the recruitment in Guo Jia's mansion, those who can enter the front hall are qualified to stay in Bingzhou as errands, while those who are invited to the backyard have the opportunity to meet Cao Cao.

At this moment, Jiang Ji stared at the recommendation letter with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Is this really Guo Junshi's handwriting?"

Before Liu Yu could answer, Man Chong pointed at the inscription and said excitedly: "It's unmistakable, here is the personal seal of Guo Junshi!"

He had worked in the government before, and he was very familiar with the format of this official recommendation letter.

The two paid attention to the seal, but Jia Kui cared more about the contents of the letter.

"What is written on it..."

Liu Yu casually handed the letter to Jia Kui, and then Jiang Ji and Man Chong leaned over to check it.

It didn't take long for the three of them to show amazement and envy.

The four people who drank together entered the front hall of the military division's mansion at the same time, but the three of them were kicked out later, but Wen Dao went to the backyard.

"Fatality tricks people! My fault, my fault!" Jia Kui apologized again to the other two.

The disappointment on Jiang Ji's face when he looked at the recommendation letter was clearly visible.

Man Chong has the most extensive experience, only he hasn't forgotten to congratulate.

"Congratulations to Brother Wen for being recognized by Master Guo. With this letter of recommendation, Brother Wen will definitely be able to be reused by Bingzhou Mu. We and the three of us wish Brother Wen a prosperous future and every step of the way. If there is a chance in the future, we will look forward to Brother Wen again." If you can remember today's fate, please support the three of us."

"Bonin is out of touch, why wait for the future!"

Liu Yu got up and poured the glasses for the three of them one by one, and then motioned for the three to toast together.

"Brother Wen, what do you mean?"

At this moment, Man Chong was so excited that the hand holding the wine trembled a little.

The other two also suddenly realized something, and they all looked at Liu Yu expectantly.

"Didn't Bo Ning ask me to support the three of you just now, just now I'm going to travel tomorrow, so why not go with me, I will recommend you at that time, I believe that with the ability of the three great talents, you will not be buried!"

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, the three stood up on the spot to thank them.

Whether it is Jia Kui, Man Chong, or Jiang Ji, they all think they are talented people, and what they lack is nothing more than an opportunity to be recommended. Now Liu Yu has a letter of recommendation written by Guo Jia to Cao Cao, which is exactly what they dream of opportunity.

But Liu Yu never said from the beginning to the end that he would take them to see Cao Cao, nor did he say that he must recommend them to stay in Bingzhou as officials.

…………

That night, Liu Yu and Zhang Xiu touched Hua Xin's residence, and after entering the room easily, they slapped the sleeping old guy unconscious.

"My lord said that this old guy is full of rebellious thoughts, so he should be killed to avoid future troubles!"

Zhang Xiu gestured to cut off Hua Xin's head, but Liu Yu didn't agree after thinking about it.

"There are a lot of people in the world who think like Hua Xin. Speaking of it, it is because of the court's incompetence that the common people are dissatisfied. Besides, Hua Xin can be regarded as a celebrity who killed a famous person and has a bad influence."

After speaking, Liu Yu took out a sharp knife from his arms.

"I have a better way. You use this knife to shave off his beard and hair, then strip off his shirt and tie him up in the downtown area. I believe Hua Xin will have no face to serve Cao Cao."

After Zhang Xiu got the order, he immediately started to do it. After a while, he turned Hua Xin into a bald donkey. Then he found a rope to tie him up, threw him into a sack and carried him to the downtown area of ​​the city.

Liu Yu was not afraid that Cao Cao would recruit celebrities, but worried that Hua Xin's rebellious thoughts would affect Cao Cao, so he had to find ways to prevent him from going to Yangquan Pass.

What celebrities value most is personal reputation. I believe that when Hua Xin wakes up and finds that his hair and beard are gone, and he has been stripped naked and thrown in the downtown area, he will definitely flee Bingzhou as if he died.

…………

As soon as the sun rose the next day, Liu Yu and Jia Kui arrived at the south gate of Jinyang City.

"Can all three of you know how to ride a horse?"

The three of Jia Kui nodded, indicating that they all know how to ride horses.

"It's so good, the distance is quite far, the three of you have to follow closely!"

After speaking, Liu Yu waved to the back, and saw Zhang Xiu leading a few horses to the south gate.

With Guo Jia's handwriting, several people passed through the city gate easily. After leaving the city, five people each rode a horse and galloped straight south.

At the east gate of Jinyang City, Captain Li Tong and a small group of guards were waiting there for the two counselors who were going to meet Cao Cao at Yangquan Pass.

After waiting and waiting for almost an hour, there was still no one, so Li Tong had no choice but to go back and report the situation to Guo Jia.

…………

Guo Jia was tinkering with his autumn chrysanthemums in the backyard of the Military Advisor's Mansion, when he heard Li Tong begging to see him, he put down the tools in his hands.

"Mr. Qi, neither Wen Dao nor Hua Xin have gathered at the east gate, and the general will send people to look for them at their residence, but there is no sign of them!"

"...Are you saying that Hua Xin didn't go to the East Gate either?"

"Reporting to the military division, that's exactly it!"

Guo Jia didn't seem to be too surprised that Wen Dao didn't show up at the East Gate as promised, but Hua Xin didn't make it either, which made him a little confused.

"Those two are not showing up. Will the last general still go to Yangquan Pass?"

"Go! Of course you have to go!" Guo Jia pointed casually, "There is a letter on the table, Captain Li must deliver it to the lord himself."

"The last will obey!"

Li Tong packed the letter and got up to leave. At this time, Guo Jia was the only one in the backyard.

"Brother Wen Ruo, I can only help here for the sake of being friends for many years."

After speaking, Guo Jia raised his head and took a sip of wine.

"... As for whether that person can pass the customs smoothly, it depends on my lord's will!"

…………

Cao Cao's big camp at Yangquan Pass, Cao Cao and his military advisor Cheng Yu are playing chess in the big tent.

It had been almost ten days since the Jizhou Army had withdrawn, but the Black Mountain bandit still hadn't shown up, which made Cao Cao even more irritable, and lost interest after a few moves.

"Chest boredom, let's go here today!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he threw away the rest of the chess pieces in his hand, leaned back and lay down on the bed.

Cheng Yu didn't dare to disturb him and was about to get up and leave when he was bumped into by a soldier who came in to deliver the letter.

"The villain is damned to collide with the military advisor!"

Cheng Yu didn't give him general knowledge, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Cao Cao was awakened by the noise, opened his eyes and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"My lord, Yu Fuluo, king of the Huns in Xihe County, rebelled!"

Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard the words, but had to stop when he was leaving.

Cao Cao unfolded the letter calmly.

"Liu Bao was killed, and Yu Fuluo raised his troops to make trouble, and he is approaching Xihe County with [-] Huns!"

This letter was written by Cao Ren himself, one was sent to Jinyang City Military Commander's Office, and the other was sent here directly.

"The situation is urgent, my lord should immediately send General Xiahou to Hexi County for assistance?"

Cheng Yu looked worried. He had single-handedly facilitated the alliance with the Huns before, but now that Yu Fuluo violated the alliance, he was very afraid that Cao Cao would take his anger out on him.

"Now that the main force of our army has been brought to the foot of the Taihang Mountains, and the Huns are making trouble, it is likely to arouse the response of other tribes on the grassland. I hope the Lord will pay attention to it!"

Seeing Cheng Yu's nervous expression, Cao Cao laughed instead.

He opened the letter again and read it back and forth three times, only to find that there was nothing missing before throwing it into the brazier.
