There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Xun You heard the beauty from the side, clapped his hands excitedly, and praised: "Good plan! This can not only solve the urgent autumn business, but also put pressure on the pottery merchants. If they turn their backs in the future, they can also rely on the momentum of encirclement to make pottery The army is wiped out!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

Cao Cao nodded gloomyly, and said: "Okay, since that's the case, follow the law of a playboy and send another scout to me to keep a close eye on the Tao merchant's soldiers and horses. Cao wants to see whether the Tao family boy is fighting What kind of idea! This time, I will win him no matter what I say."

Dazhai of potters.

Cao Cao's letter has been handed over to the pottery merchants, which stated that the pottery merchants' soldiers and horses were delayed in Yuzhou, which had too much influence on the local government affairs of Yuzhou. Dare to travel freely for business and so on.

Moreover, Cao Cao claimed that he would immediately drive his troops to Yuzhou to garrison the fields and arrange the busy affairs in autumn. He reminded the potters to restrain their generals, go where they should go, and don't go where they shouldn't, so as to avoid any friction between the two sides. Collision, then everyone's face will be ugly.

The potter carefully read Cao Cao's letter, and then handed it to Guo Jia beside him.

Guo Jia took the letter, read it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "The action is really fast, it's really like a debt collector."

The pottery merchant smiled lightly, and said, "What are you afraid of? The thing Tao is not afraid of the most in his life is the creditor."

Guo Jia was surprised when he heard the words: "Most people in the world are afraid of creditors like tigers, but why are you not afraid?"

"Because I won't pay it back." The potter replied crisply.

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the words: "If the creditor comes to collect the debt and forces you to pay it back, what should you do?"

"Bianzhi."

"Then what if the creditor also uses force?"

"I'm crushing flat."

Guo Jia suddenly realized: "The truth is true and the famous saying, although the ancient sages can't match it, he is really a sincere gentleman."

The pottery merchant ignored his sarcasm, pointed to the letter written by Cao Cao, and said: "The problem is, our present Cao creditor is obviously much better than ordinary debt collectors. Putting pressure on our army in name, so that you can't say anything is really a good way."

Guo Jiachang sighed and said: "This is clearly to force us to leave. If we don't leave, hehe, I'm afraid we will be rude to us if we turn around."

The pottery merchant stood up and said slowly: "When we left the Guandu camp, we asked Zhao Yun, Li Tong, and Zang Ba to go back to Peiguo to set up defenses to clear the way, and then asked Xu Chu to lead his troops to urge the grain. Now they are four All the soldiers and horses should have gathered, the next step is to see if they can quickly rob Li Jue and Guo Si's horses."

Guo Jia nodded, and said, "You're making a lot of noise. In fact, Cao Cao should have found out, but your tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Yuzhou, and your behavior is too conspicuous, leaving Cao Cao with no time to attend to other matters. If we withdraw, I'm afraid Cao Cao will Zhao Yun's actions will soon be discovered."

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and said, "So, I have to be more high-profile, so that Cao Cao can't move his eyes, and can't make Cao Cao alert to our true intentions."

Guo Jia heaved a long sigh when he heard that the pottery merchant was going to make a high profile again.

"Now that Cao Cao's army is ready to encircle us, it is rare for us to guard the way of retreat. How much more do you want to brag about?"

The pottery merchant smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time I don't use soldiers and horses, but a different method, and this matter will help you to some extent."

Guo Jia was surprised when he heard the words: "Will it help me?"

A few days later, under Tai Shici's secret visit, an old man from Yingchuan Yangzhai followed him to the potter's barracks.

When seeing this old man, Guo Jia was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Qu, Qu Gong? You, why are you here?"

The old man's surname was Qu, and he was already quite old. He seemed to be in his seventies, but he stepped forward, looked back and forth between the potter and Guo Jia, and said, "Both of you, who is Guo Fengxiao?"

Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard the words, and secretly thought that although he hadn't seen him for several years, Mr. Guo didn't seem to have changed much. Except that he didn't drink anymore, he was still so handsome. Why didn't Mr. Qu recognize me?

This old man is the founder of a private school in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and he is also the lecturer in that private school. Guo Jia attended this private school back then, and he was taught by this old man named Qu that he was Guo Jia's student. There is nothing wrong with the master.

"Mr. Qu, this is Guo Jia, your student! The prodigal son of Guo, who studied history and sage books with you for six years in your private school!"

When old man Qu heard this, a few tears flashed from his cloudy old eyes.

"When the general surnamed Tai Shi came to the school to invite me to see you, I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect to see you this time! Good boy Guo!"

After finishing speaking, old man Qu stepped forward and skipped Guo Jia, grabbed the potter's hand, stared at him carefully, and shook it vigorously.

"Little prodigal son! After so many years, you are promising! Although I have been in Yangdi these years, I have heard that you have done great things under the Tao family in Xuzhou!"

Guo Jia watched the teacher call Tao Shang by his name, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff: "Mr. Qu, I'm here."

"Hey! For so many years, our private school has received subsidy money from you every three months , if you hadn’t sent people to send money to help you from time to time these years, I’m afraid this school really wouldn’t be able to continue.”

Guo Jia greeted: "Mr. Qu! I'm here, you look back."

Old man Qu turned a deaf ear to Guo Jia's words, and still said to the pottery merchant: "When you were in private school, although the old man often hit your hands, it was only because you behaved abnormally, and you are not a decent person. The old man is afraid that you will leave. You got off the wrong path, so I punished you a lot, but in fact, I still look very optimistic about you."

Guo Jia put her face in her hands sadly, and said nothing more.

The pottery merchant trembled when he was shaken by Principal Qu.

Facing old man Qu who was nagging at him endlessly, the pottery merchant said helplessly, "This elder, do you know who Guo Jia is?"

Principal Qu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said angrily to the potter: "Guo Fengxiao, you are a promising kid, but why did you forget to respect your teacher? How can you talk to this old man? How can this old man not recognize you? The old man told You, even if you are burned to ashes, this old man can pick you out at a glance!"

Chapter 5: Guo Jia's Secret

A few years ago, Guo Jia mentioned to the potter about asking for a monthly salary, but the potter took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously.

Although Guo Jia didn't mention it later, the potter felt very strange at the time.

Because the pottery merchant gave Guo Jia a lot of monthly salary, and on weekdays he also gave him a lot of favors. To this elder brother, the pottery merchant played around with him, but he never really treated him badly. It can even be said that is very cared for.

After all, he was the mastermind who hijacked him with a short crossbow, so he shouldn't be too wronged.

But although the pottery merchants gave him good treatment, Guo Jia's money still disappeared without a trace like running water, as fast as eating money.

Guo's mansions in Jinling City and Pengcheng were bought by pottery merchants from the treasury for him. He didn't have to pay for a piece of it himself, and he also bought land for him to settle down. According to Guo Jia's It should be a good day.

But no one knows how Guo Jia, a prodigal, lives. In Nuo Da’s house, only he lives with an old servant called from his hometown, and the wife and family arranged for him by the old pottery merchant. Another son was born... just a few mouthfuls, and there are no other servants. The daily expenses can be said to be minimal.

That's the reason, but the money surnamed Guo is still beyond his means, and his family always borrows money from his family to make ends meet. Among the ministers under the pottery merchant, he can be said to be treated the best, but his life is not bad. The worst, none of them.

He almost brought his wife and children to the door to beg for food.

At first, the potters thought that Guo Jia was spending too much on taking pills or indulging in sex, but after Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo found out the hidden disease for Guo Jia, they asked him to stop drinking and sex, take care of his body, and forbade him to take it indiscriminately. Dan.

Since then, the small wine gourd behind Guo Jia has been filled with water instead.But even so, his life is still not improving.It can be seen that this is not the reason for his poverty.

In the end, the matter was found out by the deputy head of the school affairs office, You Luzi, who had been Guo Jia's deputy and assassin for many years.

Most of Guo Jia's money, except for the basic daily expenses for his wife, children and family, was sent back to a private school in Yangdi, Yingchuan, his hometown.

Schools at that time were divided into government schools and private schools. At that time, reading was not like that of later generations. It was popularized in every household and everyone could do it. There were very few people who were eligible to go to school. Know a few.

As for those who can go to school, those who can go to official school are only a small part.
