[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Pengcheng, where the capital of Xuzhou is located.

The terrain is surrounded by hills and mountains, and Biansi communicates with Qilu in the north, Liang and Song in the west, and Yangzhou in the south. Since the Spring and Autumn Jin and Chu struggled for hegemony, this place has been an important strategic center in the East.A few years ago, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou because of his father's feud, and he was stuck in Pengcheng because of his father's feud. Then Yanzhou was invaded, and Pengcheng left without fighting hard.A few years later, things are different in the world, but Pengcheng is still a big problem in the way of attacking Xuzhou.

However, no one expected that Pengcheng, which had been run by Tao Qian for many years, would be directly abandoned by Lu Bu.He left Gaoshun to guard the city, but he retreated to Xiapi, a high city with a lot of food, hoping to wait for work with ease, and forced Cao Jun to annihilate them in Surabaya.

Chen Gong originally advised Lu Bu to meet Cao Jun in Pengcheng, but unfortunately Lu Bu was no longer the same person when he first met Chen Gong, so he refused to listen.So in the end, Chen Gong could only accept Lu Bu's decision, which was not good or bad.

In fact, perhaps Lu Bu's idea is not wrong.Pengcheng only left one general, Gao Shun, and one-third of his troops, and it really made Cao Jun unable to attack for a long time by virtue of the dangerous terrain.After another failed siege, Cao Cao decided to order to bypass Pengcheng and pursue Lu Bu at Xiapi.

After hearing Cao Cao's decision, Xun You first objected, "Xiapi is difficult to attack. It may take a long time for our army to conquer Xiapi. However, Gao Shun can take this opportunity to attack my rear and attack Lu Bu back and forth. So The road ahead is blocked, the road behind is blocked, and Xuzhou doesn't have a city to serve as a foundation, my lord, I'm afraid it would be wrong to pursue rashly."

Cao Cao's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak, but he had obviously listened to Xun You's words.

Then, Kong Rong also got up and said, "Cao Sikong, Rong thought that although Pengcheng is difficult to attack now, after all, only Gao Shun is defending the city. There are few soldiers and many people in the city, and there will be insufficient food and grass soon. As long as the supply of food is blocked Army, within three months, Pengcheng will be settled. After that, we will use Pengcheng as the foundation and fight steadily, and Xuzhou will be captured by July next year."

Everyone nodded in agreement.It is too risky to chase rashly, and if you are not careful, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out. In contrast, although the method proposed by Kong Rong will take a long time, it is indeed very safe and will surely succeed.Xuzhou is very important to Cao Cao's strategy. This time, it is still safe.

However, Jia Xu, who is also a confidant and counselor, remained silent.He knew that the most important thing for Cao Cao now was not security, but time.

Gongsun Zan in the north is already at the end of his strength, and he will be attacked by Yuan Shao someday.If Yuan Shao has enough energy to go south, but Cao Cao has not decided to return to Xuzhou to meet the army, the result is destined to lose all games.

Jia Xu understands this truth, so he keeps silent; Xun You understands it, so he only states the disadvantages of rash pursuit without saying much; and Guo Jia should also understand it.

Sure enough, Guo Jia stood up amidst the voices of approval, glanced at Kong Rong lightly, and said mockingly, "Before August next year? I'm afraid Xuzhou will be gone by then, but Xudu will have been lost long ago."

Kong Rong frowned slightly. Although he was indeed upset at Guo Jia's disobedient appearance, he didn't express it, but he didn't know why Guo Jia had always targeted him since not long ago.However, even if it is tit for tat, he is not afraid of being good at words:

"Guo Jijiu is talking about Yuan Shao in the north of Hebei. However, if it is because of the possibility of Yuan Shao's attack in the south, putting the whole army in danger now, is it not absurd to use today's destined difficulties to make up for tomorrow's uncertain dangers ?”

"Is it difficult to be destined today? Jia doesn't know where Mr. Kong's word 'destined' comes from."

"Just now, Master Xun has already explained"

"So, who said that the whole army is going to chase Lu Bu?"

As soon as Guo Jia said this sentence, everyone was stunned.Seeing Guo Jia meanderingly turn to Cao Cao and salute, "Lü Bu, it is necessary for Duke Ming to lead an army to pursue him, at least to trap him in Xiapi. As for this Pengcheng and other cities, there are 5000 people left, which is enough to destroy them. "

The people who were stunned just now had already reacted, and when they heard Guo Jia's later words, they couldn't help discussing with each other and even went into an uproar.Only a few people remained silent, but carefully observed Cao Cao's expression.Sure enough, Cao Cao did not object to Guo Jia's seemingly absurd words, but asked with a frown:

"Feng Xiao said so, but is he absolutely sure?"

"That's natural." Guo Jia said, "Jia is willing to stay and break the city for Duke Ming. In order to reassure the hearts of everyone, Jia also wishes to issue a military order. If Pengcheng is not destroyed within one month, Jia is willing to apologize with death."

What he said was even more serious, and even Xun You, who had vaguely guessed something, couldn't help but change his expression.He immediately frowned and signaled Guo Jia to take back his words with his eyes, but Guo Jia raised his eyebrows at him easily instead, looking rather smug and confident.There was no result, so Xun You had to immediately turn to Cao Cao, implying that he must not accept Guo Jia's nonsense.

Cao Cao naturally received Xun You's gaze, but he also seemed to agree with Guo Jia's words. After a long time, he said with deep eyes, "So, I will follow Fengxiao's words. As for the military order."

"Jiayuan immediately issued a military order."

Cao Cao paused, he intended to waive the general order, but Guo Jia snatched the words before he said it.

In this way, there is no way out.

An indescribable feeling rose in Cao Cao's heart. He felt as if he had noticed something, but was quickly smoothed out by the smile in Guo Jia's clear eyes.

Guo Jia was reassuring him, and with Guo Jia around, he really couldn't think of anything to worry about.

"it is good."

Therefore, in the end Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's plan and allowed Guo Jia to issue a military order.

Anyway, I can't use it, it's just something to spend a little more ink.

Kong Rong still wanted to speak, but he was pulled back by the friend who was close to him, who shook his head and stopped him.

Cao Cao said that, no one can change his decision.

Standing in the crowd wearing a green shirt, the onlookers were either dissatisfied, ridiculed, or jealous, and all fell on the "speaking wild words".However, Guo Jia seemed to be unable to see anything, his black pupils were only looking at Cao Cao from the beginning to the end.

He raised the corners of his lips, and there was a usual unscrupulous smile in his voice:

"Jia, Xie Minggong trusts you, and you will definitely not disappoint Minggong. However, in addition to these 5000 people, Jia also wants to ask Minggong to borrow someone."

"Who is it?"

Liu Bei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.But at this time, before he could take precautions, Guo Jia's eyes had already fallen on him,

"It's Duke Ming's close friend, so is Duke Xuande."

No matter how unrealistic Guo Jia's "best friend" is, Liu Bei has no reason to refuse to stay, and if he stays alone, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally refuse to leave, so in the end, the three of them stayed together, Guo Jia and five thousand soldiers came together to face the situation in Pengcheng.

Guo Jia asked him to stay, there must be his deep meaning, but he didn't know

Liu Bei frowned and looked secretly at Guo Jia's eyes, which were as clear as water, but it was impossible for others to see his thoughts.

As if sensing Liu Bei's uneasiness, Zhang Fei gently put his hand on Liu Bei's shoulder.Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and showed Zhang Fei and Guan Yu a reassuring smile.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, nothing will happen.

After the discussion was over, Guo Jia followed the crowd out in twos and threes, and suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He thought it was Xun You or Jia Xu, but when he turned around, it turned out to be Kong Rong.

"Guo Jijiu, can we talk about it in peace?"

Guo Jia stared at Kong Rong for three seconds in surprise, then nodded, and let someone guide him to a secluded place.After standing still, Wei Qi asked, "Jia Ke doesn't remember any friendship with Mr. Kong."

Kong Rong thought to himself, you also know that we really don't have any friendship.Although I can't understand Guo Jia's way of dealing with people, I can see that Xun? Potential Zhan lie lies far away? Cook? Ton? I walk in the forest? Dirty climbing linden solitary family royal family?? Participate in the rough? The guy winks? The imperial wall? Threat temperature envy? Wen cursed again.Although the words were fierce, there was not a single false statement, so in the end no one dared to refute him.

Originally, he and Guo Jia didn't have any big communication at all, but at some point, Guo Jia suddenly targeted him very much.He naturally felt angry and dissatisfied, but after thinking about it gradually, he felt more and more strange. He always felt that there was some misunderstanding in it, so he purposely suppressed his temper and planned to ask carefully.

Thanks to the ups and downs in the officialdom these years, Kong Rong's unruly temperament has been smoothed out by traveling around, otherwise I don't know what he and Guo Jia could be like just now.

"Is there any misunderstanding between Rong and Guo Jijiu?"

"Misunderstanding?" Guo Jia suddenly smiled clearly when he heard it, "Sir, I want to ask Jia, why did you target him just now?"

Kong Rong was puzzled by the language, but he still calmly said: "Rong knows that Guo Jijiu is right about things and not about people, but then"

"No, no, sir, this is a misunderstanding." Guo Jia smiled modestly, as if he respected Kong Rong as he respected his master, but Kong Rong just eased his face, and what he said next made his angry liver pain,

"Jia, it's really wrong to treat people. It's just because Jia really hates him."

"you……"

"Only relying on his birth, sir, he can be well-clothed and enjoy all the glory and wealth. As for Jia, he traveled all over the world with the army, but he only received a meager salary. Isn't it because Jia didn't have a good birth and no one to rely on?" family?

So ah..." Guo Jia sneered, Mingming's beautiful and handsome appearance was tainted with hostility, which was especially hateful in Kong Rong's eyes, "In order to see the hopelessness of you rich children, Jia will naturally try his best to climb up by whatever means. I did my best for Mr.

Are you satisfied with this explanation, sir? "

Kong Rong was completely stunned.

Although Guo Jia's tone was frivolous, it seemed too serious.Moreover, everything can be explained in this way: why the Guo family removed Guo Jia from the genealogy, why he targeted himself, and even caught up with Xun Ji and Qiang Xi cricketbr>

Wait, by hook or by crook?

"This Xuzhou, how are you going to take it?!"

Guo Jia just smiled and didn't answer, his eyes were cold and blood-stained.

"cough."

Not far away, a cough that was not too heavy broke the gradually weird atmosphere here.The crescent-white youth who didn't reach the crown stood aside, and slightly nodded at Guo Jia who turned his head and looked over.

He certainly has something to say.

"Since that has been explained clearly, Jia won't be here to chat with Mr. Guo." Guo Jia lazily bowed, leaving Kong Rong alone, and turned to look for Gan Jiu.

The cyan figure gradually went away, but Kong Rong still didn't look back.

Sure enough, if it is for the sake of the common people in the world, and for the Han court, Guo Jia and other courtiers

Never stay.

"Huh?" Guo Jia asked strangely after hearing the words, "Are you planning to stay in Pengcheng?"

Gan Jiu nodded, also surprised by Guo Jia's reaction: "Otherwise? You must use it to do things here? Wei Wei, Xi Wu has not joined the army, so I will stay and help you accomplish things better."

Seeing that Guo Jia frowned slightly, he suddenly understood something, and laughed at himself: "Are you suspicious, I stayed because I deliberately thwarted your plan like I did in Wancheng?"

His voice was urgent and soft, and he pretended not to care, but he also pretended not to be very good.

I don't know if Guo Jia knows about this little thought of a young man.But obviously, his doubts have nothing to do with what Gan Jiu thought:

"The second young master wants to go to Xiapi with the lord first, why don't you go with him?"

"Who is going to accompany that child!"

Guo Jia was startled by Gan Jiu's sudden blow-up, he really didn't understand, it was Gan Jiu who took the initiative to find Cao Pi, why in the end he didn't take the time to make friends with others, instead he seemed dissatisfied of.

Probably two tsundere colliding together is destined to be bumpy.

Um? What does "tsundere" mean?

Guo Jia was taken aback by the words he subconsciously thought of.In recent days, perhaps because of the medicine, his memory has been a little poor, and he can't remember the past clearly.What exactly does this word mean, I can't remember for a while.

But at this moment, Gan Jiu had already calmed down.He didn't notice Guo Jia's abnormal expression at the moment, but continued to tell Guo Jia another matter:

"Doctor Hua is in the army."
