[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

The familiar words, tone, and the arc of the lips are all the same as some of the past.

However, he was stunned for only a moment. As soon as Guo Jia got off the horse, Cao Cao immediately walked up to the people, and his expression was not happy but a little angry: "Didn't you say that you have to raise it for half a year? You are not in good health and you wear so little horse riding! Hua Tuo people!"

Guo Jia's perfect smile froze, and he couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Doctor Hua said at least three months, as many as half a year." The word "many" was extremely heavy. "It's already May now. Jia is a battle-tested person, and his body is recovering quickly, and he is now fully recovered."

It was also the first time Cao Cao knew that the term "battle-tested" could be applied to Guo Jia in this way, and there was indeed no mistake.Taking a closer look at Guo Jia's complexion under the moonlight, he found that there was indeed no trace of sickness, so he was a little relieved.He patted Guo Jia's shoulder again: "That's right, he's stronger than when he left." At least the bones no longer made his hands ache.

But apparently, this was not enough to reassure Cao Cao, he dragged Guo Jia into the account, and he immediately sent someone to call the military doctor, until the military doctor replied conclusively, "The remaining poison has been cleared, and Guo Jijiu's body is indeed fine. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the joy of reuniting with people after a long absence began to overwhelm the worries and spread in his heart.

They have not seen each other for four months and eighteen days.Ever since Guo Jia came to Cao Ying, let alone such a long time, even if he didn't see him for a day, Cao Cao would remember that day clearly.

"Hua Tuo is worthy of being a miracle doctor. To let Feng Xiao recover in such a short time, I owe him a big favor."

When Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's emotion, he couldn't help but think of something.In fact, in such a short period of time, Wushi San and the previous poisoning, and even [-]% to [-]% of the disease brought out of the mother's womb were gone, which made Hua Tuo, who was feeling the pulse at that time, unbelievable.Pushing it to Feng Shui, pushing it to recuperation is not enough to explain, it seems that there is a dark force, using almost irresistible force, to push everything into the established rules.

Of course, Hua Tuo was amazed that Guo Jia would not tell Cao Cao, and thinking of the indistinct feeling, he said with a smile in Cao Cao's words: "Maybe it is God's will. God has always treated Jia Su well, so every day of Minggong A great victory, Jia is destined not to miss it."

It was already late at night, so Cao Cao ordered Guo Jia to go to bed without any explanation.But Guo Jia didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, he occupied the only bed in the tent and lay down for half an hour, his eyes were still clear and he didn't feel sleepy.Cao Cao was also helpless, sighed and nodded, Guo Jia immediately sat up with a smile.The night was long, the two chatted and chatted, and finally returned to the battle between Yuan and Cao before them.

Hearing the details of the Battle of the White Horse, Guo Jia smiled and frowned: "Guo Wenze is really underestimating the enemy. He knew that Gongda was in the army but he didn't know how to persuade Yuan Benchu ​​to make a decision before moving. The fate of Yan Liangwen Chou It’s really a big gift for nothing.” Looking through the battle reports of these days, he laughed even more jokingly, “I planned to use Guandu as a stronghold early in the morning, but Minggong used offense instead of defense, pressing every step of the way. It is worthy of Fa Xiao's friendship." The reason why it was just a joke was because he knew that Cao Cao's behavior was not because he and Fa Xiao were against each other, fell in love and killed each other.In terms of military strength, food and grass, and the people under rule, one's own side is at a disadvantage, and there are not many things to rely on, let alone retreat in fear of war.Most of the chances of winning are based on the comparison of pennies and pennies to win the morale of the opponent.

"Cao and Ben Chuben have known each other since they were young, and they are congenial. They have seen all the beautiful scenery of Luoyang City. In the end, until today, he regards Cao as a thorn in his side, and treats him as a thorn in his flesh. Seeing each other is really unpredictable." Cao Cao sighed, "Or, this is the destiny that the world talks about."

"Ming Gong believes in the destiny?"

"I don't want to believe it, but sometimes I dare not believe it." Cao Cao said, "Could it be that Fengxiao doesn't believe it?"

"Haha, this is the scoring situation." Guo Jia smiled, with a sly look in his eyes, "If Cao Mengde's fate is in Cao Mengde, Jia must be convinced. If not, then Jia can only sneer at God's lack of vision. And for."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing too.He has always been flattering, and he doesn't like flattering people, but only Guo Jia can say these words so fresh and refined, he listens to them pleasantly, and he is also faintly proud, after listening to them so many times, he still feels ironic in his heart.

But Cao Cao still didn't forget to say: "If the destiny is not in Gu, this will will be reversed by Gu. From now on, Mo will always say such nonsense."

Guo Jia smiled, but did not comment.

"Feng Xiao is going to Jiangdong, how about seeing there?" Cao Cao asked, changing the subject.

Xu Shi talked for a while, and Guo Jia finally started to feel a little sleepy. He yawned, leaned against Cao Cao, and sat more and more disfigured: "Sun Ce's death must have been received by Minggong long ago. The waste outside the chessboard Son, whatever he does."

"When I received the news when I was alone, I thought Feng Xiao would show some kindness."

"Haha, Jia is indeed staying." Guo Jia chuckled twice, but he couldn't get rid of the tiredness in his voice, "Ming Gong should know about Jia's every move in Jiangdong. The idiot just wanted to investigate further. Did he really not know that Chen Deng was in contact with Xu Gong's old department? Or did he really not know what was wrong with that horse? Or did he really want to attack Guangling instead of using it as a sneak attack on Xu Du? As a cover-up? False and true, since ancient times, achievements have been built in the game of death. Some people won the bet to become a marquis and worship minister, and some people lost the bet to die and die. It’s just bad luck. Although this is bad luck, I'm afraid it is also doomed."

Because, his actions may not have been accurate to Sun Bofu's character.It seems to be unbearable, but in fact?

Guo Jia didn't say the latter sentence, but Cao Cao heard it clearly.However, Cao Cao also knows that it is rare to meet someone who appreciates it, but it must be a life-and-death feeling.Just like Sun Jian, he respected him as a loyal minister of the Han family and a hero of the time, but if Sun Jian lived to this day and firmly controlled Jiangdong in his hands, facing the confrontation between Yuan and Cao, he might also want to reap the benefits of the fisherman , from the fist-fighting and Han officials back then to today's separatist and chaotic officials.Whenever he thought of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing for some people to die in the prime of their careers and leave behind great regrets.

"Since you're back, the octopus will be handed back to you. Fengxiao will take care of the octopus, so that you can rest assured." After regaining his senses, Cao Cao changed the subject, took out the token of the octopus from his sleeve, and handed it to Guo Jia. Turning around, I realized that Guo Jia had already fallen asleep.

"You..." Cao Cao could only laugh and sigh, put the badge back into his sleeve, gently lifted Guo Jia up, carried him to the couch, and covered him with a quilt.After thinking about it again, he took out the token again and put it next to Guo Jia's pillow.

He is still worried about Guo Jia's health.But the current situation, the octopus, had to be in the hands of someone he trusted [-]% in the army.

The most suitable person is only Guo Jia.

Guo Jia rode into the camp alone, but he did not return alone.Liu Biao in Jingzhou is frequently ready to move, the Qingxu family is ready to turn against him at any time, and Yuan Shao's army in the north is frequently probing and eyeing... These things that made Cao Jun more and more unfavorable were not mentioned in the first time. In the morning of the second day, it was still only a group of people frowning and discussing countermeasures.

But if someone observes carefully, they will easily find that although the crisis is rife, Cao Cao at this time obviously lost the anxiety of the previous days, and instead began to appear confident.Just when everyone was wondering where Cao Cao's confidence came from, news came from Guanzhong first:

Zhong Yao, Lieutenant of Sili, sent his soldiers to send [-] horses as military supplies.

In November of the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhong Yao left Xudu for Hongnong, and Yezhe Pushe also accompanied him.Since then, the imperial court began to control the sale of salt and iron in Guanzhong, and used agricultural tools and cattle to attract refugees to settle in the long-distressed Guanzhong.Today, although it is less than a year old, this inconspicuous move at the beginning has begun to bear fruit.

Perhaps it was the war horses sent thousands of miles away that brought good luck to the army. Within half a month, another good news came from the front: Le Jin led his army to Huojia, and he rode along with Yu Jin's army to defeat Yuan Shaobie's army. In the southwest of Hebei Province, more than [-] villages were gathered in the Shaojun Fortress of Yuan Shao, beheaded and killed thousands of people, and more than [-] Shao generals were surrendered.

When they were caught in July, the Yellow Turbans in Runan rebelled. Yuan Shao had no generals available and could not send Liu Bei to the south to help him. Purpose.After receiving the news, Cao Cao immediately sent Cao Ren to lead Qingqi to Runan, defeated Liu Bei, and recovered the rebellious counties.On the way back to the camp, he defeated the cavalry general Han Xun sent by Yuan Shao to help Runan at Jiming Mountain, and returned victorious.

On the first day of September, there is Yin, and there is an eclipse.

"A solar eclipse is a sign of yin overcoming yang, and a sign of great disadvantage for military strategists. Gongze and Chen are grinding their lips here. It is better to advise the lord to take precautions early, in case Cao Cao is caught by surprise."

"So what if it's unexpected? Our army is a hundred times better than Cao's army, and it's like hitting a stone with an egg." Guo Tu snorted, and continued to speak harshly. After the case, the old god Xun Chen, who was drinking tea, said coldly, "But I'm afraid that some people I made a wrong idea, knowing that it was a pit of fire, but I was still obsessed with it.”

"Most of the soldiers who came to Guandu with Cao Cao are veterans who have followed him through life and death. It is indeed not easy to persuade them to surrender." Xun Chen said, "But those who are capable will work harder and share the worries of the Lord. The Lord will not find it hard. .”

In the army, Xun Chen has always had such a gentle and introverted temperament, but at this time, Guo Tu listened to the sarcasm when he said that there was no ups and downs as usual: "Xun Youruo, Ming people don't speak dark words, why do those who abandon darkness and turn to wisdom overnight?" There is no news, you should know better than Tutu!" If Yuan Shao hadn't had an absolute advantage, it would be impossible for him to persuade those veterans of Cao Cao to surrender.But even so, it took a lot of hard work for him to succeed.As a result, these people disappeared without a sound overnight, and all the information channels to obtain Cao Ying were cut off. If there were no ghosts, how could this be possible? !

With a "snap", Xun Chen abruptly put the cup on the table, and finally a trace of anger appeared on his gentle face: "Guo Gongze, Chen has no intention of haggling with you, so don't bully others too much."

Guo Tu didn't expect Xun Chen, who never even frowned, to get angry with such a few words, but he only thought that Xun Chen was angry when he was pointed out, and he was not afraid to get even more angry: "Xun Wenruo, Xun Zhongyu, Xun Gongda, They are all important ministers of Cao Cao, especially Xun Gongda who is now in Cao Cao's army. You went to Xudu a few days ago, didn't you make plans with your good brother and nephew?!"

"What's the matter? The moment Pi just left, you were so at war with each other." At this moment, Xin Pi lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, and couldn't help being surprised to see that even Xun Chen was angry.But he kept his business in mind, and said to Guo Tu: "Gongze, Cao Cao led his troops to attack the camp, and my lord tells you to go there quickly."

Guo Tu was taken aback, glanced at Xun Chen, weighed it for a moment, hummed heavily, and walked away.

"We have received less and less information about Cao Ying these days. We only found out about Cao Cao's sneak attack today. It's no wonder that Gongze is impatient." Simpi sighed softly, walked to Xun Chen and sat down, "He also went to quarrel with brother, you Ruo, don't take it to heart, before the two armies battle, the most important thing is."

Xun Chen's anger disappeared long ago when Guo Tu left, and his smile was gentle and helpless: "How could Chen be so angry. However, you came up with these words, or your brother asked you to say them." ? It's not like your temper."

"Ha, you still know Pi. Pi has been unhappy with this Guogong for many days, but the lord is partial to him..." Simpi whispered again, "If it is related, his brother is still in Cao Cao's army, who knows Could it be that he was calling out for a thief?"

"You know the relationship between Gongze and Fengxiao. They are incompatible. In comparison, Chen is indeed more suspicious."

"It's just that you have a good temper." Simpi sighed, "The big family advances and retreats together. In the face of family interests, no personal grievances can be overcome."

Xun Chen smiled, and didn't say anything about Guo Jia's temperament, so there would be no family interests in his eyes.After all, what happened this time, Guo Jia was indeed not innocent at all.Of course, so did he.

The tent became quiet, and Xin Pi didn't know what he was thinking about, while Xun Chen continued to read the letter on the table.About an hour later, soldiers came to report that Cao's army had been repelled.

"The disparity in military strength is too large, even if it is taken by surprise, it will be of no use." Simpi sighed, this result was already expected, so the whole army did not panic when they heard Cao's surprise attack.

Xun Chen saw that the soldiers came and did not retreat in the tent, so he asked, "What else is there?"

"My lord ordered that the camp will go to Guandu tomorrow morning, and gentlemen, please make preparations early."

"My lord was thinking about the old relationship and wanted to be merciful. It seems that Cao Cao has annoyed me this time. This is Cao Cao's stealing the chicken and making the money back." Simpi said with emotion again when the soldier left.

"It's going south again..." Xun Chen also said with emotion, but the reason for his emotion was not the same as that of Simpi.

The biggest gap between Cao Jun and Yuan Jun lies in the strength of troops and food and grass.

For the former, even if Cao Cao led elite soldiers, it would be of no avail in the face of a huge disparity. All he could fight for was the slightest bit of morale.

The latter, in terms of savings and reserves, Cao Cao is far inferior to Yuan Shao.However, due to the disparity in military strength, Yuan Jun's daily ration consumption was several times that of Cao Jun's.Originally, the prosperity of the four prefectures was enough to support it, but the decisive battle was in Guandu...

Thousands of miles to feed food, people look hungry.The further south you go, the longer the grain line will be...

Thinking of Cao's army attacking from all sides in the first half of the year, and trying their best to take away the grain, grass and luggage that passed through Zhucheng all the way south, and burn them if they could, Xun Chen's smile couldn't help but feel even more helpless.At that time, they only thought that Cao Cao's family had a small business, so they had to compare pennies and pennies, but they didn't know that compared to fighting head-on, this was the real chess piece that was laid silently and unknowingly eroded the enemy's advantage.

The sword does not need to be stained with blood, and even the scabbard does not need to be drawn out, but it can turn a dead end into victory.This is the strategy that my good nephew is best at.

"Pi's going back to clean up first." Simpi got up and said, seeing Xun Chen also stand up, with a hint of doubt on his face.

Xun Chen buckled the letter sent from Xudu Shangshutai onto the case, straightened his clothes and walked out from behind the case: "Chen Lue has some trivial matters, go and talk to Ziyuan."
