[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Xu Chu has been by Cao Cao's side for many years, and Cao Cao understood what he meant with just one look.He was the one to execute the sentence. Although every slam of the army staff sounded scary, but it really fell on Guo Jia, and he didn't have much strength.

But even so, one hundred blows is enough to kill Guo Jia.

Dripping with blood, unconscious, dying, marching and fighting outside without any precious medicinal materials, Cang Zhu almost exhausted all her medical skills to make Guo Jia not die on the spot, and he was treated for three days and three nights without sleep. , and finally managed to save his life.

"Cough cough, cough cough."

The pain in his lungs forced Guo Jia to cough uncontrollably. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at the light in a room in a daze, unable to tell whether he was still alive or not.

It wasn't until the cough became more and more severe that it caused the whole body to tremble and move the wound on the back, and the heart-piercing pain hit, Guo Jia gritted his teeth and was extremely regretful that he was indeed still alive, and he was still alive in his own body. lingering in the tent.

Afterwards, no matter who said that Jia's health was not good, this fate was clearly very hard.

Muttering something softly in his heart, Guo Jia reluctantly turned his head to look inside the tent, and saw Xun You lying on the side of his couch taking a nap, but his uneven brows showed that he was not sleeping comfortably.He looked around again with the intention of searching, and confirmed that Xun You was the only one in the tent besides himself.

My heart was a little empty, and I felt relieved. Fortunately, Cao Cao did not come.

Xun You, who had been keeping watch in the middle of the night, slept very lightly. Hearing the sound of coughing, he woke up abruptly. Seeing that it was indeed Guo Jia who had woken up, his heart lightened, and he hurriedly poured Guo Jia a glass of water.Because the injury was on the back, Guo Jia is now lying on the couch, and almost the slightest movement will tear the wound, so Xun You can only carefully support Guo Jia to prop up a little bit, and then slowly drink the wine in the cup. water.Despite being so careful, Guo Jia still frowned because of the pain from the wound.

"Do you know it hurts now?" Xun You helped Guo Jia to lie down again, frowning and scolding.

And Guo Jia insisted on squeezing out an ugly smile from the pain: "I know, I know, Gongda is still here after hard work, and Jia is so touched that tears are like rain. Let Wen Ruo him Then it's Jia's fault that my precious nephew is so tired because of Jiadu."

Xun You cast a rather speechless glance at Guo Jia, who was still teasing at this moment: "It's okay, You just guarded you for a few hours today. My lord..."

Hearing the word "Master", Guo Jia's eyes flickered slightly, and he was waiting for Xun You to continue.However, Xun You seemed to have seen Guo Jia's thoughts, so he stopped talking and stopped talking.

Guo Jia, who waited left and right, but no one continued to talk, felt like a cat scratching his heart, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Slowly putting down the teacup, Xun You saw Guo Jia's expression of calmness despite being very eager to know at the moment, and he already had a decision in his heart.It wasn't until Guo Jia urged him a few more times that he continued without haste: "Since you were injured that day, my lord, I have been guarding you without sleep, and all military affairs were handled in your tent until last night. The wind broke out, the military doctor tried to persuade you several times, and your little doctor repeatedly assured that you would be fine, so he just went to rest. If he is still asleep now, he has only rested for three hours."

"Why don't you persuade me?!" Guo Jia couldn't help becoming anxious after hearing this, "My lord's headache needs to be rested to relieve it. Wouldn't it make it worse if he didn't rest for so long!" After speaking, the more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became, He wanted to see Cao Cao, but as soon as he moved, he was exhausted by the pain and collapsed back on the couch.

Xun You was startled, and quickly ordered: "Don't move!" After careful inspection, the blood did not seep through the cloth, so he was relieved. Seeing that Guo Jia was still anxious, he sighed. "I didn't persuade you, but the lord has made up his mind. Apart from being filial to you, who else can persuade the lord who is determined."

"Can……"

"Also, you know, you almost died." Seeing that Guo Jia was still unwilling to get up, Xun You was much older than Guo Jia after all, and said with a straight face, "If the lord hadn't brought you back quickly that day for the doctor to treat you, you would have to wait a little longer. One step too late, and you will be completely dead."

"My lord..." Guo Jia was taken aback, opened and closed his mouth a few times but remained silent. After a while, he murmured, "You guys...you should stop the lord...he can't do this."

All Guo Jia did was to keep Cao Cao in a fair and selfless position. As for the concern for his subordinates, the several maintenances in the account that day were enough to win people's hearts.But during the actual execution, Cao Cao should have just sat there, performed all the stick duties without any favoritism, and then let others come to treat him symbolically.But if it is like what Xun You said, it will fall to other people's facts, saying that Cao Cao shielded his favorite ministers and didn't distinguish right from wrong. If it spread to the people of Xuzhou, the people's hearts that should have been won have become delusions.

He can't let this happen.

Guo Jia's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and sorrow, but he didn't know what Xun You didn't say. That day, Kong Rong stopped Cao Cao with cynicism. I can't persuade you.

Cao Cao, who was holding Guo Jia, who was almost a blood man, had red eyes and looked like a Rakshasa.

The last time Xun You saw Cao Cao who lost his composure was when the news of Mrs. Cao's murder came from Xuzhou. Just one look was enough to make people tremble with fear and feel cold all over. How could they dare to step forward and say a word.

"By the way, Jia has been in a coma for the past few days, how is the situation in Xiapi?"

"You just woke up, so don't worry about it anymore." Xun You said, but Guo Jia had no choice but to tell the truth in the end, "It's the same as before. The walls of Xiapi City are high and thick. There is also the natural danger of Surabaya, and there is plenty of food and grass in the city, so if Lu Bu keeps the city closed, there is nothing our army can do."

"Can you lure Lu Bu out of the city to fight?"

Xun You shook his head: "My lord tried it before. Lu Bu was brave and foolish, and was almost persuaded by the lord, but Chen Gong stopped Lu Bu immediately. After that, I tried a few more times, no matter whether it was seduction or provocation, It's all useless."

Guo Jia heard this, and couldn't help frowning: "It must be impossible to spend so much time. In the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are fighting fiercely, but looking closely at the battle situation, Yuan Shao is at the peak of his power, while Gongsun Zan is at the end of his battle. Now it seems that they are evenly matched. , but it will be a few months before the winner is decided."

Lowering his eyes, Guo Jia completely forgot that he had just climbed out of the realm of death and life, and kept thinking about the plan to break the city.He pointed to the map on the small case beside him, but Xun You couldn't hold back him, and after a few words of persuasion, "don't think too much, heal your wounds first," to no avail, he could only let Guo Jia spread the map in front of him, lest he move again To the wound again. .

In fact, Guo Jia had already memorized the topography around Xiapi City, so he only looked at the map to check if there were any deviations.Suddenly, a place on the map caught his attention, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, Guo Jia hurriedly turned his head and asked:

"Now, how many months is it?"

"You're really confused." Xun You said, "It's the season of winter, and the rainy season is coming soon."

After getting the answer, Guo Jia smiled comfortably: "The rainy season is good, the rainy season is here, and this original moat is about to become a weapon to destroy the city."

"During the rainy season, when the river rises, the embankment can be dug to divert the water from Yi and Si to irrigate the city. In this way, there will definitely be changes in the city of Xiapi. If lures are made from outside, Lu Bu or his subordinates can be forced to surrender to Kaesong quickly."

"So Gongda, you have thought of it a long time ago." Guo Jia heard Xun You talk about the flooding strategy he just thought of, and the people who knew it also felt that this plan was feasible, and his smile grew stronger, "Then why did you bother Jia so much? Wouldn't it be fun to have adopted the lord earlier, and let the so-called unparalleled God of War become a fish in the water?"

"If it's just to break the city, why don't you want to tell the lord earlier, but once the dam bursts"

Sensing the hesitation in Xun You's eyes, Guo Jia finally reacted.Outside the city of Xiapi, there are many villages. Once the embankment is dug, the city of Xiapi can be descended, but these people will also suffer from fish ponds.

Do you have to ignore the people of Li for the sake of siege?

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Mo Mou, Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he looked at Xun You again, he completely forgot what he was thinking: "Since this is the case, it is better for Jia to bring this matter to the lord."

"No." Xun You sternly refused without even thinking about it, but he guessed what Guo Jia was going to do in an instant, "You should take care of your injuries first, and until you recover from your injuries, you are not allowed to touch anything in the army."

"Oh?" Guo Jia raised the corner of his eyes slightly, and showed a bit of teasing in the face of Xun You, who was so resolute, "Is this an order to Jia as the master of Gongda?"

Xun You looked back calmly, and his tone was still very serious: "It's okay if you think so. All in all, until you recover from your injury, You will not let you encounter any military newspapers again."

"Scary, scary, Gongda, you and your uncle are really getting more and more alike." Guo Jia sighed several times, but the injury on his body forced him to move his mouth, "Okay, okay, Jia obeys, everything No matter what, just rest in peace."

Seeing that the person agreed so happily, Xun You became suspicious, but when he looked over suspiciously, he only saw Guo Jia's eyes full of sincerity.Guo Jia let out a big breath, lay down on the couch, his blue hair loosened casually, and his expression gradually became a little tired: "Okay, since we have to rest, Jia will sleep for a while, and Gongda will go back to rest soon. In order not to tire you out, Wen Ruo is going to be angry."

Xun You looked at Guo Jia warily again, Guo Jia who compromised so quickly was not the person he usually knew at all.But in the end, it could only be seen that Guo Jia was really tired, so he got up and walked outside the tent.

Guo Jia woke up, he had to call the little doctor to take Guo Jia's pulse again.

"That's right, Gongda."

"Ok?"

"First, don't tell the lord that Jia is awake. He is tired, let him sleep more."

"……it is good."

However, when Xun You stepped out of the camp, Guo Jia's expression changed, and the sleepiness completely faded away.He lay down on the couch, clapping his hands lightly, but in an instant, the shadowy owl guard was already kneeling in front of the couch, bowing his head and waiting for his instructions.

"Take the seal of the lord, write down the military order and send it to the soldiers stationed in Yi and Si, ordering them to dig ditches immediately, and when the rainy season comes and the water level rises, they will dig the dikes and fill the city with water. .”

"Boss..." He always only listens to orders and doesn't ask others? Ou Wei hesitated this time, "Should I ask the Lord for instructions first?"

Before?????Wei finished speaking, Guo Jia threw a sharp glance at him. The coldness made the?Guo Jia then said slowly: "The lord has already said that all the affairs of the octopus guard will be managed by Jia, and you only need to obey orders. But now it seems that you may not have gone through the octopus guard's affairs properly. Training."

"This subordinate doesn't dare, so let's go and act." Wei Wei didn't dare to say anything, and quickly responded and retreated, but when he lowered his eyes, a dark light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and disappeared in an instant.

Naturally, Guo Jia didn't notice the small movements of the octopus guard. On the contrary, he almost held on to the last bit of strength to get out of the ?As soon as the person stepped out, Guo Jia collapsed on the couch, exhausted even the strength to stand up a little.

Really, I'm so tired. It would be great if there was wine.

Exhaustion eroded the normal functioning of the brain. After finishing the business, Guo Jia's consciousness became a little fuzzy, and he began to think about things randomly.The only thing that remained the same was the corner of his mouth that was still filled with the joy of his wishes coming true.

Now that he has already taken on the infamy of massacring the city, it is okay for him to recite the infamy of disregarding the lives of the people in order to attack the city.The one he picked up reluctantly before is now lingering, but this time the false military order, no matter how much Cao Cao protects him, he will definitely die.

Perhaps it was because Xun You's words just now worked, Guo Jia felt more and more confused.In my mind, I vaguely sketched the gnashing of teeth when Cao Cao knew that he had privately passed on the military order, but it was a done deal; I also thought that although Cao Cao would be sad for a while, he would be able to capture Xuzhou without infamy and gain the hearts of the people, so soon Cao Cao would be more happy than sad; Maybe after many years, Cao Cao has already ascended to that position, and every Qingming and autumn, maybe he can still remember him coming to pour a few glasses of sake in front of his grave.

Thinking of the end, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but the wound was touched again, and his smile suddenly became a bit ferocious.

At this moment, there was a sudden stern voice:

"Guo Fengxiao!"

All the smiles disappeared in an instant, and Guo Jia turned his head to look. Cao Cao, who was supposed to have a good rest in the main tent, was standing at the entrance of his tent, his face full of anger, and his clenched fists all showed the mood of the visitor. Not average bad.

Guo Jia was stunned.

he can now be sure

First, Xun You never told Cao Cao the news of his waking up as he promised.On the contrary, according to the calculation of time, he probably went straight to Cao Cao's camp as soon as he left, and by the way, he even told Cao Cao the strategy they discussed about flooding the Pi.

Second, Wei Wei certainly did not follow his order to steal Cao Cao's general seal, but probably told Cao Cao the truth about everything when he just woke up.

Third, if the first and second points are correct, then Cao Cao probably already knows all his plans... and obviously, Cao Cao is very angry about this, very very angry.

Seeing Cao Cao striding towards his couch, Guo Jia's heart beat faster and faster, and he didn't dare to take a peek at Cao Cao's angry face at the moment.

He had to admit that for the first time in so many years, he was afraid.

Terrified.
