[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

"Six people and four people, 51 people and 49 people, the ruler has to make a choice, but this question is wrong from the beginning. If there is enough power and strength, the people should not have to face such a situation in the first place. situation."

"As you said, the ending is very important. The sacrifices in the middle of the final peace are just a series of numbers. Maybe they are only mentioned in the history books or there is no trace. But for their relatives, his life and death are concerned. The joys and sorrows of a lifetime."

"I don't naively think that there is no need to sacrifice, but if I have the ability, wouldn't it be better for more people to welcome the era of peace?"

Guo Jia has always remembered Xun's expression when he said these words.His tone was gentle, and there was a soft but firm light in his eyes.The breeze passed by, and the clothes fluttered lightly. Even though the world was in chaos and people were in panic at that time, just looking at him calmed my mind and felt the tranquility of the years.

In fact, even if Xun was born in a family, he has never seen the darkness of troubled times from time to time.Changing sons to eat, looting and robbing, he often saw that even though the Xun family was well-known, there was absolutely no darkness in the family.He also knew as well as Guo Jia that the money given out for porridge could not save the world, and even the begging at the door might just be pretending.But the difference is that even if there is only a trace of uncertainty, he still chooses to believe that no matter how much Guo Jia pulls him, he will save people.

Even if not everyone, but even if it is just one more person who has the hope of surviving, it is worth it.

At that moment, Guo Jia, who had always regarded himself as a spectator of history, thought eagerly for the first time that it would be great if the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms could end sooner.

Use the usage in troubled times, use Confucianism to rule the world.Moral rules, the behavior of a gentleman, and sincere friendship will always sadly become a joke of profit in troubled times.But the peace after the troubled times is often maintained by relying on the "jokes" of those troubled times.

However, Xun, who has experienced the deepest dark age, but has not been worn out of his hope for a better future, if he can usher in a peaceful age, being an official and prime minister will be a blessing to the emperor, and it will be a blessing to all the people in the world.

"Young master, wake up, we are going to the capital soon."

Guo Jia, who was awakened by Xiwu, stroked his aching head, recalled, it seemed that he had dreamed of something just now, but when he really thought about it carefully, there was only a vague outline.Stop trying to figure out the content of the dream.Standing up and opening the silk curtain on the window, Guo Jia asked, "Where are we now?"

"We'll be at the city gate soon." Xiwu replied, "Master, put down the curtain, it's windy in autumn."

"Do you think your young master is paper?" Guo Jia laughed, but still put down the curtains.

The closer they got to the city gate, the more refugees there were in groups of two or three, and even compared with previous years, there was a blowout trend.Since Dong Zhuo entered the capital, all the refugees who were originally scattered in Luoyang City have been driven out, and the interrogation at the gate of the city is much stricter than before. Unless there are specific documents, anyone who easily enters the city will only have a dead end.

No, when Guo Jia took out the documents and handed them to the driver to hand them over to the soldiers at the gate of the city, he saw a man in ragged clothes trying to blend in with the crowd, but he was still found.After searching and finding that the person had no documents, the soldier raised his knife and dropped the person, and the person fell to the ground.

Whether it was the people waiting to enter the city or the soldiers at the gate, their expressions were numb. They had seen too many such scenes.

After the documents were checked by the soldiers, the carriage slowly drove into Luoyang City.The thick and high city wall completely separates two worlds.The city is full of flowers like a brocade, and the city is full of traffic, while the ruins outside the city are bleak in autumn.

Guo Jia found a house in the capital in the north of Luoyang City.The Feng Shui of Luoyang City is that the south is expensive and the north is cheap, and the people living in the south are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and the mansions are magnificent and beautiful.On the north side is the gathering place of ordinary people. The houses are small and dilapidated, and there are many people coming and going. All the sports car owners who do business live here.

Guo Jia's choice of the house here is naturally for the purpose of not revealing his identity here, but the more important and practical reason is that the house he chose is already the cheapest in Luoyang City.

Coming to the capital this time has completely emptied the already thin family, and the plan to meet a suitable buyer in Yingchuan Academy and sell the octopus guard was also completely unsuccessful.As the capital of Luoyang City, every inch of land is precious. If Guo Jia spends money recklessly, he will be declared bankrupt within a month.

He suddenly remembered the gold that Cao Cao sent that year.Why was he so kind and used all the money to help refugees? !No, why can't Cao Cao just send him a box of gold? !Is a car coming? !Do you come from a yard? !

Cao Cao, who was in Yuan Shao's mansion in the distance, sneezed hard because of Guo Jia's completely unreasonable resentment.

"Meng De, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Yuan Shao was discussing state affairs with Cao Cao when he saw Cao Cao sneezed suddenly and asked with a frown.

Cao Cao also felt baffled, he was physically strong, and the weather was mild in early autumn, so how could he provoke the wind and cold.However, he didn't think too much about such trivial matters, he just waved his hands: "It's okay, let's continue discussing the matter just now."

Yuan Shao nodded and continued to mention the matter just now.Dong Zhuo's turmoil caused chaos in the capital, and the heroes of the world gathered together to attack him, but the dragons had no leader and lacked a unified command.Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family, four generations and three lords, he should be an example for the scholars of the family, it is most suitable for him to initiate the call for Dong Ling to unify the princes.

However, he wanted Cao Cao to go out of Beijing with him to Jizhou for preparations, but Cao Cao insisted on staying in the capital for a longer period of time.

"Dong Zhuo trusts me very much now." Cao Cao said, "staying in the capital for a while will give me a chance to see Dong Zhuo's strength clearly, and I can also look for opportunities and wait for the opportunity to strike, to see if I can directly take Dong thief's life."

How could it be so easy to assassinate Dong Zhuo.Yuan Shao disagreed with Cao Cao's idea, but he didn't know why he didn't make a sound. He drank a glass of wine dullly, and then said in a deep voice: "That's it, if you stay in the capital, we can cooperate internally and externally, and it will be easier to accomplish things."

Cao Cao nodded his head in praise, but there was an obscure gleam in his dark eyes, which he couldn't distinguish clearly.

If he went with Yuan Shao at this time, at most he would become Yuan Shao's foil, or Yuan Shao thought so from the beginning.But as far as Cao Cao is concerned, he will never be willing to submit to anyone, let alone Yuan Shao, who values ​​the prestige of a famous family more than the survival of the Han Dynasty.

If he stays in the capital, he can do a lot of things.

It's just... Thinking about the scene when the two first met, Cao Cao sighed secretly.I don't know when, the emotion of sneaking around together when I was young gradually changed.

Now they have begun to meet each other, but in the future, they must not come to the point of fighting each other.

As soon as Yuan Shao was sent away, an envoy from Cao Cao's residence came, and it was seen that he was dressed as a member of Dong Zhuo's residence.Dong Zhuo's position is high and powerful, and even the people in his house are chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Even when facing Cao Cao, who is much more noble than him, he didn't see much respect in his words: "Captain Cao, Dong Xiangguo will hold a banquet at the house tomorrow. You go to meet up."

"Okay, please go back to Bingxiangguo, Cao Cao will definitely be there on time." Cao Cao replied politely, and then asked, "Did Dong Xiangguo invite other ministers, so Cao Cao might as well make preparations in advance." The guard winked, and an ingot of gold slipped into his sleeve without a trace.

Feeling the weight of the gold, the visitor smiled, and immediately replied: "All the ministers in the court, Dong Xiangguo, have sent invitations, and even the Holy Majesty will go. Captain Cao must be well prepared."

"That's natural, there are messengers."

All the ministers in the court are going. I am afraid that this banquet will be comparable to the Hongmen Banquet.

However, this feather is Dong Zhuo, but Gaozu is not Cao Cao, but someone among the group of ministers.

For example, Wang Yun.

When he arrived at the house in the north of the city, Guo Jia understood why the price of this house was so unbelievably cheap.

As the capital of Luoyang, Luoyang has strict regulations. All houses are symmetrical from east to west with the palace as the midline, and the orientation of the houses must be opposite, either due south or due north, and the two rooms in this house are all facing due north. How much sun, cold and humid.

As soon as Xiwu saw this house, he proposed to Guo Jia to change it. It doesn't matter if it is broken or messy, but the damp environment is too harmful to Guo Jia's body, but Guo Jia didn't care, and told people Take your luggage in.

"It's pretty good here." Guo Jia casually kicked the gravel on the disrepaired stone road, admiring the only two rooms here with great interest, "At least it's not broken or collapsed, let's just leave it like this , I won’t be staying for long anyway. Ah Wu, go and tidy up, and then tell me the recent whereabouts of Wen Ruo and Gongda.” After speaking, Guo Jia turned and went into the room.

Yes, it is neither broken nor collapsed, but this house has nothing else to offer except that it is not broken or collapsed.

Xiwu looked at it, but Guo Jia didn't care about it, so she could only pick up a broom and start cleaning, and then sent the sorted materials into Guo Jia's room.

Although the house is dilapidated, it seems that the owner here often comes to clean it, so there is not much dust left.Guo Jia was sitting on the only chair in the room, and was teasing a black bird one after another. Xi Wu took a closer look, and it turned out to be a crow flying from nowhere.

Guo Jia was obviously very interested in this crow, but when the latter found that Guo Jia didn't have the food he wanted, he circled around a few times and flew away.

"The story of the crow feeding back, Ah Wu, have you heard of it?"

"Master, information." Xiwu has long been used to Guo Jia's whim, and ignored Guo Jia's question, and directly handed the bamboo slips to Guo Jia.

Unfolding the bamboo slips, the information after sorting out and summarizing was only a few columns of words. Guo Jia finished reading it in a few glances, with a smile on his lips.

"Although it is still impossible to succeed, the plan the two of them made is quite feasible, at least not so naive as to stab Dong Zhuo with a dagger."

"Isn't assassination like that?"

"The person who assassinates is called an assassin. The most important thing is to be unexpected, and the second is to leave no trace. If someone steals a dagger, enters Dong Zhuo's mansion, and stabs Dong Zhuo while he is sleeping, this person is not good at all. I have thought about the way to escape after the assassination is successful, or I don’t want to assassinate Dong Zhuo at all, but I just put on a show and wait for Dong Zhuo to find out. Anyway, it is easier to poison than a dagger.”

However, poisoning also has its disadvantages. According to Xun You's original purpose of assassinating Dong, poisoning is not enough.

Looking closely at the last two columns of characters on the bamboo slips, Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now that you know that Jia is in the capital, Gongda, how will you adjust your plan?

If it's too much trouble for Jia, Jia will ask Wen Ruo for a reward.
