[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

From the city of Ye to the top, there are criss-crossing mountains and vast deserts. In the distance to the north and north, is the location of Karasuma, the three counties.

In the early Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu in the northwest was the most worrying among the Yi and Di foreigners. However, after several generations of conquests by generals and generals, the once mighty Huns have been defeated and defeated.When Guangwu was rejuvenated, the capital was moved eastward to Luoyang in the Central Plains. Facing the increasingly cold climate, the foreigners from all over the world had different ideas again.Although the Xiongnu have gone far to the far west, the newly rising Qiang in the northwest and the Xianbei who invaded from time to time in the northeast have always been eyeing the big Han.

Since Dong Zhuo's entry into the dynasty, causing chaos in the two capitals, and the [-]th princes segregated the Quartet with different intentions, the Central Plains has been completely in turmoil.For example, Karasuma in the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Youbeiping inherited the chaos of the world and broke Youzhou, with a little more than [-] households of Han people.Yuan Shao was determined to dominate the Central Plains, and he did not want to waste his strength with Karasuma, who was not involved in the overall situation, so he made a close relationship with Shanyu Tadun in western Liaoning.In return, Liaoxi Shan Yu Tadun, who can determine most of the decisions of the Karasuma tribe in the three counties, has been willing to send Yuan Shao for many years in exchange for more cattle, sheep, land and border people.

Now, Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan are dead, and all the lands that the Yuan family ruled in the past have been returned to the Han court. However, Karasuma in the north and north is still unscathed.

Everyone knew that Taddun's dispatch of troops was obviously not because of his past friendship with the Yuan family, but was used as a cover to compete for interests.If Cao Cao only wanted Taton to hand over Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's two sons, it would be better to be as rich as Yuan Shao in Taton than to risk thousands of miles, and turn a blind eye to Karasuma's looting of Han people in exchange for Taton's loyalty .

But this seemingly good choice never actually appeared in Cao Cao's consideration.

Regardless of the fact that Karasuma has always been double-faced and three-faced, and rewarded with generous salary, it is nothing more than raising a wolf that is not familiar with it.If the border troubles are not eliminated, there will be no peace in the country.More importantly, Cao Cao is the Sikong of the great man. The tens of thousands of soldiers he leads are the brave cavalry of the great man in the same line as the great army who attacked the Beiting after the champion. His government orders and decisions always represent the glory of the great man.

With Karasuma, you can't make peace, you can only fight, and you have to win beautifully without any suspense, so that you can make the aliens in all directions tremble with fear, and make them remember the triumph of the great Han king in the deepest fear.

In the 12th year of Jian'an, in summer and April, the Shangshu of the Han Dynasty ordered Xun 熳 cherry? Pan 虼缶?? Yuan Chunfu?? Ji ず 璫Pa Umbrella 10 Ji 璫 Pei A, Pian General Du Tinghou Xu Huang, Zuo Du Liao General Xian Yufu, Hu Karasuma Colonel Yan Rou and other most brave young generals As a general, he ordered Yi Lang to participate in the air force and Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry of the world's brave cavalry to accompany the army.

In contrast to the counselor, Cao Cao only called the name of Guo Jia, the Sikong division Jijiu.

The wise man secretly thought of Guo Jia's luck, thinking that Cao Cao intended to reward Guo Jia heavily, and that's why he gave such a big credit to him alone; It doesn't help.

No matter what other people think, Guo Jia is still smiling.He turned on his horse neatly, pulled the reins and came to the army. He bowed his hands to Cao Cao with a heroic spirit no less than that of a general, and said loudly:

"Jia leads the order! Our army will definitely win this battle and live up to the glory of Yan Han!"

The breeze blew his blue shirt, outlining the emaciated and sick bones under the shirt.However, just like in the past, as long as Guo Jia is here, confident and confident, everyone feels that even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he can return with a big victory.

On the high platform, Xun, who was dressed in a costume embroidered with chapter patterns, was looking for a sacrificial ditch burning grape? Scar ひ wandering sword?

"It's time for the ceremony! For the army, beat the drums! Let's have fun!"

Drums beat the sky, horns sounded:

"Wear iron armor and carry a long knife.

Fighting with my son, the road is long.

The same enemy, a total of life and death.

In the battle with the son, the heart is not slack.

Stepping on Yan Ranxi, chasing Huer.

Fighting with the son, the song is fearless.

Fight with your son, sing fearlessly! "

Amidst the thundering drums and magnificent singing, Cao Cao held up his long whip:

"The soldiers of the three armies listen to the order and go out with the solitary!"

The army marched mightily to the north.Every minute we go north, the temperature drops, Guo Jia's illness gets worse, and more people die in the army.The wind was harsh, and the barren land was difficult to walk in. By the time the army arrived without end in the fifth month of summer, nearly a thousand people had died on the way to the northern expedition.

To add insult to injury.As soon as the army arrived, it began to rain heavily, and the roads were muddy, making it impossible for vehicles and horses to pass.As the key point leading to the west of Liaoning, Wushang, known as Karasuma's spies, stayed behind. Seeing the arrival of the Han army, he immediately notified Liaoxi Tadun.Karasuma immediately sent troops to the south, stationed in the endless mountain trails and dangerous places, completely curbing the possibility of the Han army going north.

The Han army had no choice but to set up camp in Wushang, and wait for the heavy rain to stop before continuing the northern expedition.

And this waited for two full months.

It rained heavily all day long, and it didn't stop until Jin Wuxi's speech.There was no annoying heavy rain, and the soldiers began to collect firewood that was not drenched by the rain in twos and threes, and made a stove for cooking.In the big camp, clusters of flames brightened the night.

"Duke Ming," Guo Jia walked up to Cao Cao who was sitting in front of a cluster of bonfires, and sat down next to him, rubbing his hands to keep warm by the light of the fire.

Cao Cao took a look at him shivering from the cold, and pulled him into his arms, the cold feeling was especially strange in summer: "What did you do just now, why is your body so cold and wet, did you get caught in the rain? "

"It's not rain, it's sweat. Jia just finished exhaling, and obviously felt very hot just now, but now that he exhales, he feels cold instead." He looked at the blazing bonfire, and put a sticker on Cao Cao's arms again, "Duke Ming's arms are much warmer than that campfire."

After a while, Guo Jia felt that the coldness of Wushi San had subsided a lot, so he wanted to stand up straight, but Cao Cao's arms were too tight, so he was happy to continue rubbing the temperature on Cao Cao's body: "Jia has a hunch, If the rain stops today, it won’t fall again. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the army can continue to march north.”

"Just in time, the octopus also found Tian Chou." Cao Cao said, "Tian Chou said that there is a small road that can avoid Karasuma's army and go out from Lulongsai to attack Xianbei Court. As long as it doesn't rain tomorrow, the isolation will be ordered. Forge ahead."

"Jia Ke has always been a prophecy, so it will definitely not rain tomorrow."

After Guo Jia said this with a smile, Cao Cao patted his hand affectionately, but did not speak.For a moment, the two of them fell into a deathly silence. In the blazing fire, only the crackling of firewood could be heard.

"Minggong," Guo Jia's eyes reflected the firelight, his expression was far away and suddenly, "Have you thought about Jia's posthumous title?"

"...After thinking about it for a while, the word 'zhen' is the best."

"What do you mean by the word 'zhen'? Innocent and chaste?" Guo Jia narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Changwen just returned to the court not long ago. Hearing this, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry again."

Cao Cao caressed Guo Jia's loosening hair.Under the clear moonlight, the originally black hair had a silvery white luster.

Can this be used to deceive oneself, and it can also be counted as being with you until the end of life?

"It's not just about innocence and chastity, but about the horoscope that Gu told you:

"Worrying about it, worrying about the country and forgetting about death." '"

"That's how it is." Listening to Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia also fell into the memories of many years ago, "Jia vowed that he was afraid of death back then. I can’t even figure out what’s in my mind, but this life is still involved.” He sighed lightly, turned his head and looked at Cao Cao with a smile, “However, Jia feels that it’s a blessing to make mistakes sometimes.

As for the tomb, where is Duke Ming going to choose for Jia? Before Cao Cao responded, Guo Jia had already turned his head, "Jia has thought about it for a long time these days, and still feels that he needs to discuss this with Duke Ming before Jia leaves.Otherwise, Jia went to be free and easy, and when the time comes, the pitiful Duke Ming will think about these things by himself at night, and Jia will not be at ease. "

Cao Cao paused, then said in a low and firm voice after a while, "Gu will take you home."

"Going home? Is it Yecheng or Xudu? Minggong should be referring to Xudu, Yi'er still lives in..."

"It's not Yecheng, nor Xudu." Cao Cao's voice was low, as if suppressing too much emotion, "It's Yangdi, the mansion of the Guo family."

"Where? But Nari Jia had already entrusted someone to sell it when he finished beating Lu Bu."

"It was bought by Gu. It has been taken care of all these years, and when Gu takes you back, it won't look depressed."

"Birds fly back to their hometowns, and foxes must die when they die. After Jia's death, he can return to his hometown. Sure enough, compared to most people in this troubled world, Jia has always been so lucky." Closing his eyes, the thought in his mind The scene at Yang Zhai's house in the past emerged again.However, most of the memories when I was young are already blurred, and the only thing I still remember in my heart is the accidental encounter with people at that time.At that time, Cao Cao was still a little-known Xiahou, he was still a young man with no interest in world affairs, and he firmly believed that he would never have any intersection with Cao Cao in his life.

"Jia remembered." Guo Jia suddenly opened his eyes and said, "In that yard, Jia buried a jar of fine wine that he couldn't bear to drink. Jia has been thinking about finding time to go back and dig out the jar of wine, but after that While drinking the wine in Duke Ming's mansion, I forgot about it, and I didn't even think about it when I sold the house."

"Which yard?"

"It was the courtyard where Duke Ming lived at that time." Guo Jia smiled, "Fortunately, Duke Ming sent someone to buy it, otherwise the fine wine that had been buried for so many years would be given to others for nothing, and Jiading would be very distressed.

When Duke Ming brought Jia home, he opened the altar of wine and poured it in front of Jia's grave.Jia walked slowly, maybe he could still drink a few sips.In this way, Jia's last regrettable thing can be solved. "

Cao Cao didn't speak, but hugged Guo Jia tighter, as if he wanted to integrate Guo Jia's sick bones into his own body.

"Actually, unfortunately, there is one more thing." Guo Jia gently pushed Cao Cao away, raised his head, and stared directly at Cao Cao with bright star-like eyes.Under the light of the fire, he smiled, gently astonishing the past years.

Unable to restrain himself, Cao Cao's head fell forward.

Guo Jia's lips were still dyed a cool color.

In the endless flames, they are destined to be separated from each other by fate, hug each other tightly in love, their lips and teeth blend together, and they care for each other. Even if they feel suffocated, even if they are exposed to the wind and rain, they are still reluctant to learn from that fish and forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, Cao Cao went around and met Guo Jia again, and Guo Jia couldn't do without Cao Cao.At the end of the story, after all, they lived up to this encounter.

Tian Chou came to the army on the second day, and as expected, he presented a path that could avoid the soldiers of Karasuma and lead to Liucheng in the rear of Tadaton.This road has been seldom inhabited for many years, and it is extremely dangerous, but Cao Cao, who has no choice but has no time to think about it, immediately ordered the whole army, pretending to retreat to confuse Karasuma, and leading the army into Xu Wushan.

This road is really difficult and dangerous, not to mention that if one is not careful, he will fall into the valley, and it is difficult to walk through it with heavy equipment.Seeing this, Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao simply leave [-] infantry here to carry the luggage, and the remaining soldiers only take half a month's food and go northward lightly.The soldiers were so swift that they caught Karasuma by surprise.

Cao Cao immediately adopted Guo Jia's suggestion, left all the luggage behind, and continued to advance with the rest of the army.

Going north out of Lulongsai, cutting mountains and filling valleys for more than [-] li, passing through Baitan, it took half a month, and finally arrived at Pinggang, the seat of Youbeiping.When [-] people reined in their horses and whipped their whips, and suddenly appeared under the Pinggang city like ghosts, the Pinggang defenders were terrified, but they had to fight with their troops.After a day of fierce fighting, Pinggang City was destroyed, and all the people, food, and soldiers in the city belonged to the Han army.

However, the price paid by the Han army was not small.This road set foot in high mountains and dangerous valleys, and passed through the vast desert. Countless soldiers even failed to reach the battlefield, and died on the road due to illness, exhaustion, hunger and lack of water.In the battle of Pinggang, facing the brave and skilled Xianbei cavalry, even if the Han army took the opportunity to surprise, it was not easy.Even Zhang Xiu, who has superb spear skills, is here, shrouded in horse leather.

No one knows where the arrow came from.On the battlefield, there are too many such accidents.No matter who died, it was not enough to make the army that was almost desperate before going through the dangerous situation even more sad.

Pinggang city was broken, the whole army took a rest and counted the wounded.The soldiers who could no longer advance stayed in Pinggang to recuperate, and the remaining soldiers followed Cao Cao to continue non-stop across the desert and approach Liucheng.

This time, Guo Jia also stayed in Pinggang, even though he was so unwilling.

Before that, relying on Wushi San, he could still maintain his energy and not slow down the progress of the whole army.But now, he had definitely felt that if he went forward with the army again, it would be of no benefit to the battle situation, and would only become a burden to the entire army.

Therefore, even though he wanted to stay with Cao Cao for a while longer, Guo Jia still chose to stay in the small yard with willow trees in the Pinggang City Administration Office:

"Jia is waiting in the yard for Duke Ming to return in triumph." He tried his best to smile, as if this could cover up the obvious regret and reluctance in his eyes, "In this way, if Jia misses Duke Ming, just break a knot." The willow will be sent back by the people sent by Minggong to visit the sick. Isn't it elegant to break the willow, keep it, and express love with the willow?"

After the final farewell, Cao Cao, who was wearing iron armor, walked down the city wall quickly. When he came to the three armies, he didn't even dare to look back.

Guo Jia stood on the tower, looking at the mighty army, stepping on the yellow sand, facing the new wind, and disappearing into the distance.As far as the eye can see, looming in the early morning mist is the unreachable north, the majestic and continuous Bailang Mountain.
