[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

"Chen Gongtai, when you accused the lord, you spoke righteously, and you must still think that you are extremely righteous until now.

……

Oh, you think too much, Jia hates you so much, why did you come here as a lobbyist to persuade you to surrender.It's just that Jia is very curious about two points. You, a noble person like you, won't even refuse to answer such a small doubt as Jia.

……

First, you were there at the time. If the lord hadn't killed Lu Boshe, would you have apologized with death?

……

Oh, is it so?Na Jia really underestimated your integrity.

Then second, since you think that innocent people should not be killed under any circumstances, why did you still order Tian's youngest daughter to be killed when you were in Puyang?

……

That's right, it was Jia who first ordered the hidden guard to kill Tian's other family members, but in the end it was the little girl you ordered to kill in front of him that made him decide to betray you.

……

how?Refuse to speak?Obviously you dare not admit it, dare not admit that when things come to an end, you are also the one who sacrificed others for the so-called "overall situation"; dare not admit that if you were the one with the sword in your hand that day, Lu Boshe's family would Die at your hands!

……

Is Jiaxue spitting?Oh, obviously you have already started to doubt, haven't you?

Do you think the lord's grief that day was half less than yours?Do you think that if the lord survives, it will be less painful than when he apologized with death?To kill is to kill, if you have to find such righteous reasons, can you save a drop of blood from the dead?Now that you have moved your hands and issued an order, you must bear this blood debt openly, face all hatred frankly, bear the burden of humiliation, and prevent the dead from losing their lives in vain.

And some people, from the very beginning, think of excuses, and attribute all the blame to others, so that they can accuse others of their own justice without any burden.Oh, such a shameless act, Brother Gongtai, do you think it is more hypocritical than a hypocrite, more annoying than a coward?

……

Jiake didn't criticize Sang and scold Huai, brother Gongtai was overthinking.Alright, alright, what Jia should say today has already been said, so I won’t stay here to trouble Brother Gongtai, how to choose, please decide for yourself. "

"and many more!"

Being stopped suddenly by Chen Gong, Guo Jia looked back with some doubts. According to his thinking, Chen Gong should wish that he would disappear as soon as possible.

"Guo Jia." Chen Gong stared closely at Guo Jia's eyes and said word by word, "Cao Cao once said, 'I would rather bear others than bear me'. You have committed so many blood debts for Cao Cao, so you are not afraid that one day you will be with me." Will Lu Boshe end up in the same way?"

"Pfft." One couldn't hold back, Guo Jia laughed, "Chen Gongtai, Chen Gongtai, you haven't seen through Cao Mengde whom you have hated for so many years, let alone me, Guo Fengxiao.

Would you rather bear me than others?As long as it is beneficial to the great cause, it doesn't matter if you lose Jia, even if it makes Jia cramp, it doesn't matter forever. Guo Jiawen said, the tone raised at the end of the sentence unabashedly showed the joyful mood when people said this sentence. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and the rare gentle starlight flashed in the lacquered eyes He spoke softly again, but the voice was so low that it was not for Chen Gong, but for himself to chant,

"What's more, Jia has already given Minggong the opportunity to defeat Jia before. Even such a favorable opportunity was missed. After that, how could Minggong defeat Jia?"

Coming out of the room where Chen Gong was guarded, the bright sunlight made Guo Jia squint his eyes again.He walked up to Jia Xu who had been waiting at the door for a long time, and signaled that he could leave now that he was done.

The two walked side by side for some distance, and when there were no more guards beside him, Jia Xu seemed to be chatting, "The lord clearly asked you to persuade Chen Gong to surrender, I'm afraid I didn't expect you to come here with every word, But he is forcing Chen Gong to death."

Guo Jia looked sideways, and immediately shouted for grievances: "Wen He, don't slander Jia, Jia has such thoughts. Besides, you have been outside the house just now, and you don't know what Jia said specifically."

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia pretending to be weird, and said in amazement: "Could it be that Xu is thinking wrong? People like Chen Gong who are useless and will cause endless trouble to the lord, but Guo Jijiu wants to keep him forever." Life?"

Having said that, Guo Jia is no longer interesting in acting, not to mention that he is just making fun of him, so there is no need to really guard against Jia Xu: "Wen He really understands Jia. In fact, the lord also knows Chen Gong's personality. None of them will surrender, but I just want to persuade him to cherish his life and keep him as an idler."

Cao Cao sometimes has a literati air, and his thoughts are very deep.But Chen Gong is not a person who can really make people worry, staying and not being able to use it means that there is a little more uncertainty, so Guo Jia can only come to Cao Cao to be cruel.

"My lord can understand everything, but I just can't bear it. Otherwise, it's not suitable for a poisonous person like Jia to do such a thing."

"My lord really trusts you." Jia Xu sighed lightly, but she didn't know whether it was true or not, "Then since today's business is over, Xu will go back first."

"Wenhe wait a minute." Guo Jia stopped Jia Xu, turned his head and smiled slightly, and looked at him with a pair of fox eyes, "Chen Gong's death is a foregone conclusion, but how Liu Bei will deal with it, Jia still wants to hear Wenhe's thoughts."

Jia Xu stopped in response, but didn't know what Guo Jia meant.He thought for a moment, then replied in a deep voice: "As for Liu Bei, he can't be killed, let alone let go, so it's better to take him back to Xudu and give him a false post to keep him in charge."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Jia sighed slightly, with regret and unwillingness in his voice: "Yes, you can't kill him, you can't let him go... It's a pity that Jia is so tired of Liu Bei, but he can only watch him live well."

Jia Xu joked: "Feng Xiao is tired of Liu Bei? When Xu was still in Pengcheng, Feng Xiao and Liu Bei already had a deep friendship."

Guo Jiayiyan really seemed to be recalling the scene in Pengcheng in the past: "Actually, if Liu Bei is a friend, he would be a good friend. It's a pity." At this point, Guo Jia couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips again, The warm color in the ink pupils was wrapped in an undisguised killing intent, "It's a pity, he is in the way of the Lord's great cause, and everyone who is in the way, Jia is extremely disgusted, and wants to get rid of them quickly."

The cold wind was blowing, Guo Jia leaned towards Jia Xu according to the wind, and his head rested on his shoulder.He parted his lips lightly, and breathed out the hot air on Jia Xu's earlobe:

"So, Wenhe, if you don't withdraw from Wancheng, Jiake will also hate you."

He held his breath and felt palpitations, but a sudden gust of north wind broke the dead branches all over the garden and smashed them to the ground, breaking the weird atmosphere just now.

Guo Jia couldn't stand the wind, even if Cao Cao forced him to wear three layers of thick clothes before he came out, he had to back away and bend over and cough when he encountered the wind.Standing where she was, Jia Xu rubbed her earlobe, then looked at Guo Jia who was coughing, walked to the side of the person and patted his back, but there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of her lips:

"Xu thinks it's perfect, but I don't know how Guo Jijiu discovered it?"

Gradually stopped coughing, Guo Jia straightened up again, looked at Jia Xu, and smiled: "It's not that Jia found out. Wen He is such a cunning old fox, how could Jia see through it. After discovering that Wen He secretly kidnapped Zhang The Xiujiu tribe stayed in Wancheng to occupy themselves, so there must be someone else."

This made Jia Xu really stunned, but he immediately realized: "Is it Xun Shangshu?"

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "Don't look at Gongda who didn't talk in the past, in fact, he is far superior to Jia in terms of intelligence and resourcefulness. You look alike, no wonder he is the best at seeing through your old fox's mind."

"Xu can have any thoughts, but just in case to save his life." Jia Xu sighed, as if it was as simple as he said, which naturally attracted Guo Jia's eyes.

It is true that Cao Cao took Wancheng that day, but it is not known whether Cao Cao expressed his sincerity to Zhang Xiu or had other intentions, so he did not mobilize the old troops in Wancheng.In the past few years, Jia Xu has secretly sent people to Wancheng to deploy, and has almost taken over all the affairs of Wancheng. The local guard is now just a puppet. As long as Zhang Xiu wants to, he can retreat to Wancheng with Jia Xu at any time to defend himself .The battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is imminent, and the number of soldiers is small, so it is impossible to divide the troops to attack Wancheng. In this way, without much effort, Wancheng can be held firmly in Zhang Xiu's hands .

"Forget it, let Jia treat Wenhe as life-saving." Guo Jia shrugged, too lazy to entangle with others here, "Then, after this trip to Xuzhou, is Wenhe still worried about his life? Can't the real master be chosen among Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"

"Xu was quite hesitant." Jia Xu seemed really troubled by this question, and said in a low voice, "In the battle between Cao and Yuan, Cao Cao was far inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of power, military strength, food and grass, let alone Xu Yuan. There are still internal worries of the little emperor and those old ministers, just from this point of view, in the battle between Yuan Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely win and return."

"However" Guo Jia stopped after saying two words, waiting quietly for Jia Xu to continue.

"However, power, military strength, food and grass are all dead things. Holding them in the hands of Mingzhu will increase the chances of winning, but in the hands of Yuan Shao..." Jia Xu stopped talking, but he was used to calm eyes A trace of contempt in the heart has fully exposed people's views on Yuan Shao.

"These things, Wenhe should have seen it clearly enough in Wancheng that day." Guo Jia said, "Then, why bother to make trouble in Wancheng again?"

"Yeah, exactly why." Jia Xu read it softly, then suddenly chuckled, and Guo Jia didn't expect the next sentence, "It's all because of you, Guo Fengxiao.

Before the stunned Guo Jia could recover, Jia Xu continued: "Although Yuan Shao is not the master, the difference in strength between Cao and Yuan is really too big, and Yuan Shao is not always confused, so if Cao Cao wants to win, he has to fight against him. When the two armies are facing each other, they plan to win the battle quickly. This requires everyone in the army to be the same as the enemy and spare no effort. But before Xuzhou, although Fengxiao was also dedicated to his duty, it was different from this time." After a pause, he looked at Guo Jia for a long time, then pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice,

"Only when Guo Fengxiao puts his heart and soul into conspiring with each other can Cao Mengde truly become the overlord of the north."

Guo Jia opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say to refute Jia Xu's words.After a while, he muttered: "For a conspiracy, it is enough to have a public servant."

Jia Xu shook her head: "It's not just a conspiracy, you and I both know that although the lord is not a man of temperament, he is not a cold-blooded person either.

You, Guo Jia, are unique to Cao Cao. "

Is it different?

The four words "simple and simple" fell on Guo Jia's heart like a superficial splash of water. Although it was not heavy, the ripples spread unstoppably.After a while, he raised the corners of his lips, his eyes shining like stars:

"That's natural."

Jia Xu was also a little surprised to see that the person who was awkwardly trying to refute him just now was so frank.But looking at Guo Jia's smile, which is brighter than the winter sun at the moment but seems to have seen everything, everything he says seems weird.After being silent for a while, he sighed deeply, as if he had returned to his old self:

"The old man is really old, and I really don't understand the thoughts of you young people. Forget it, the people in Wancheng will withdraw, the old man said it on his own initiative, but General Zhang has been kept in the dark until now. "In a few words, Zhang Xiu picked up the matter, and Jia Xu covered his lips with his hands and let out a breath, his face was full of fatigue, "I am really old and weak, the old man will go back to rest first, my lord. Let Feng Xiao go report it alone." After speaking, he left alone without waiting for Guo Jia to respond.

"Obviously seeing that the lord governed the army according to the law in public, and did not take Jia's life in private, I finally believed that the lord is not a person who holds grudges, and will not kill a dog in the future. Just now, I looked around and said that he , and said it so mysteriously, Jia really almost fell for it."

Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu's back that was drifting away, but finally couldn't help it, and cursed softly:

"It's such a troublesome old fox."

The three-day deadline has come, and as expected, Chen Gong still refuses to surrender.The only difference is that this time he was much more silent than three days ago, and he no longer pointed at Cao Cao to be filled with righteous indignation. He just stated his will to die again and again. Cao Cao tried to persuade him again and again, but it was still fruitless, and he finally had to do so. Chen Gong's wish.

At the moment when the blood splattered, Cao Cao's eyes were full of vicissitudes, and he suddenly seemed to be ten years older.

Because of this matter, Cao Cao was not in high spirits, and the celebration banquet in Xiapi was only hastily organized.That day, Cao Cao was so drunk that he rarely drank, and he dragged Guo Jia who was also drunk, and said a lot of words in a daze in no one's place.When other people asked about it afterwards, Cao Cao forgot all about it, and Guo Jia laughed and said nothing, so in the end, he didn't know what he said that day, so that Guo Jia could be used as a bargaining chip, threatening Cao Cao for several altars. fine wine.

However, after just a few days, Guo Jia was no longer complacent.

Cao Cao, Lu Bu's former subordinate, accepted as much as he could, and he was even more thirsty for talents who were known to be famous and talented, and regarded them as treasures.So when he went to visit Chen Qun, he understood his great talent without talking a few words, and he became the official of Sikong Xicao.

This was a good thing for Cao Cao, so at first Guo Jia happily went to meet this person who was about to work with him under Sikong Mansion.But when he went to visit with his clothes unkempt, head crown uncorrected, and a hippie smiling face, what he saw was an upright gentleman with a frosty face, sitting upright, unsmiling, and his brows were still untucked after looking at his inappropriate clothes. The eyelid of the left eye couldn't stop jumping up.

"Haha, Changwen is not as scary as Fengxiao you said. Forget it, if you feel awkward, you can just stay in your house and work as before. If something really happens, I will call you again." Cao Cao knew Guo Jia's situation. He was afraid that someone would take care of him, so he kindly allowed Guo Jia to "run away from work".Only then did they get down to business again, "The latest news from the north is that Yuan Shao has besieged Gongsun Zan in Yi Jing."

As soon as he mentioned the business, Guo Jia immediately swept away his laziness: "Since this is the case, Gongsun Zan's defeat will be a matter of time, and he is also to blame for his unlucky encounter with Yuan Shaoying. But, Minggong, at least we can Grab the opportunity of two or three months, you can't waste it."

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a smile, pulled the map over, and said, "Then Fengxiao is up to you. Wherever you say to fight, you can fight wherever you are alone."

"Haha, Mr. Ming, don't let others listen to these words, otherwise Jia's reputation as a courtier will become even more popular." Guo Jia looked at the map, and after a while he seemed to point at a random place, "Then Let’s go here, Jia said randomly, Duke Ming must keep his word.”

"You." Cao Cao laughed. What Guo Jia was referring to was clearly very important, and what he was referring to was random.However, Guo Jia was joking, and he also joked, "All the heroes in the world are tired of competing, but Feng Xiao wants to go alone to hunt rabbits. It's really nonsense. Forget it, I'll just play around with you."

"If you don't hunt rabbits, how can you cross the river?"

"Yes, yes, what Feng Xiao said is very true." Cao Cao circled the place pointed by the person while smiling, and then determined the place to attack next.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, and said with emotion, "However, this year, I can't celebrate the New Year in Xudu again."

"What's wrong? Mr. Ming misses his wife and sons?"

"Gu has been used to it for so many years, but you." Although Guo Jia was smiling, but his face was still sick, Cao Cao's mind flashed the appearance of someone lingering on the sick bed not long ago, and he couldn't help feeling distressed. "Let's not talk about going back to Yangdi. You have been fighting around with Gu all these years. Maybe you haven't celebrated the New Year at home for a long time."

"It's been a long time, but"

Guo Jia suddenly stopped speaking.He was already sitting on the same mat with Cao Cao, and he didn't pay attention to discussing things just now. Unknowingly, he half leaned on Cao Cao's body, feeling the warmth in Cao Cao's arms that made him more comfortable than a burning stove.He raised his head slightly, his dark eyes were trying to engrave Cao Cao's face in the depths.He slightly raised the corners of his lips, and the clear voice flowed out, slowly flowing into the bottom of Cao Cao's heart:

"As long as I'm by Duke Ming's side, the ends of the earth are my hometown."
