[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Guo Jia has always had a good habit.

Whenever you drink, you will pretend to be drunk when there is still a third of your sobriety, and then take the opportunity to get the other person who is drinking with you really drunk, so as to prevent others from telling the truth from your mouth.

However, yesterday, whether it was because he hadn't drunk a drop in the past year, or because the fine wine in Hebei was different, Guo Jia, who had no intention of getting drunk and was very confident in his drinking capacity, became drunk after a while.Guo Jia, who still used his past drinking capacity as a yardstick, took this as his own illusion at first reaction, and the best way to verify this is to continue to drink heavily to prove that he is not drunk.In this way, in the end, Jia Xu and Gao Lan, who were pulled by Guo Jia, looked at Guo Jia with a surprised face and soberly watched Guo Jia drink a piece by himself, and then Cao Cao directly deprived him of the qualification to continue drinking, and forcibly sent him away. Back to the tent.

Guo Jia also has a good habit.

As long as you are drunk, it doesn't matter whether you are fake or not, even if you are really drunk, you will remember clearly what you did, what you said and said when you woke up the next day, and even the details of every moment Nothing.

So, Guo Jia woke up the next day, rubbed his aching head from hangover, and gradually recalled what happened last night with his face up. There were only eight words left in his heart: fake wine misleading people, Yuan Shao mentally retarded.

The one shot by Yuan Shao was extremely innocent, but Guo Jia believed in an irrefutable logic: Yuan Shao was the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army, but he allowed the army to have wine and violated military discipline; if there was no wine in the Yuan camp, there would be no banquet last night. Drinking to add to the fun; if there is no drinking to add to the fun at the banquet, he will definitely not get drunk; since he will not get drunk, he will never say those words to Cao Cao... All in all, in the final analysis, Yuan Shao is obviously the initiator of everything.

Anyway, he would not admit that it was his responsibility to go too far, and he would not think that Cao Cao would do anything wrong.

While cursing Yuan Shao's fate in his heart, a thought suddenly flashed through Guo Jia's mind.He sat up abruptly, adjusted his appearance casually, and quickly walked out of the tent to Cao Pi's military tent.

It's all because of the broken wine, which made him forget about business!

It was already past the corner, and Cao Pi would not stay in his tent, so Guo Jia had to ask the soldiers in the battalion again, and only then found Cao Pi who was counting and sorting out the remaining supplies and food with the army officials.The two went to a secluded place, and when Guo Jia finished asking, Cao Pi was taken aback, but his answer was completely different from what Guo Jia asked.

"How did you know that the wooden box was delivered by Sima Yi himself?"

Guo Jia frowned: "Apart from him, who else can avoid the surveillance of the octopus." His attention was focused on the current situation of the war the night before, so he didn't pay much attention to it even after hearing what Cao Pi said. After he won the victory, he thought about it carefully, and realized that Cao Pi's argument with himself was full of flaws. He planned to talk about it with Cao Pi after the banquet yesterday, but he didn't know that he was drunk again... Although he thought it was too late, but Guo Jia still relied on luck and asked, "Where is Sima Yi now?"

He murmured again, Cao Pi hesitated for a long time but still didn't say a word, just took out a piece of silk from his sleeve, and handed it to Guo Jia: "He said that if the master knows that he has been in the army, let Pi hand over this to Guo Jia. To sir."

"This?" Guo Jia took it over.This silk is different from the silk note in the previous box, it is empty and there is no word on it.Guo Jia took it over and over to look at it, and smiled helplessly, "'Yu joined the princes in Tushan, and all the nations hold the jade and silk', what is it like for him to hold it alone?" He returned the silk to Cao Pi, "My lord, Regardless of whether he is still in the camp or not, if he comes to see you next time, you will return this to him. And tell him that if Jia has the opportunity, he will go to the appointment and make up for his wedding gift by the way."

"Oh." Cao Pi took the silk back and put it back in his sleeve.

After a while, Cao Pi still didn't see Guo Jia leaving, so he couldn't help asking:

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"My lord, Jia is your father's vassal, there are some things that shouldn't be bothered," Guo Jia said slowly, seeing the details of Cao Pi's facial expressions, "but Jia is indeed very curious, as a lord, , why would you be willing to cover it up for Sima Yi? If you just want to accept him as an aide, you don't have to do so."

"Sir, think about it..."

"In this case, there is only one possibility. What Sima Yi gave to the young master was not the loyalty of service; what the young master asked for was not this thing, but"

"But what?"

"But what, how does Jia know." Guo Jia laughed again.He took a step back, bowed, and said, "Seeking skins from tigers, if you are wading through deep ice, I hope you will cherish it."

Watching Guo Jia's leaving figure, Cao Pi slowly loosened his fists that had been secretly clenched just now.On weekdays, he only heard his father and uncles talk about Guo Jia's talent, and Guo Jia didn't have much contact with him on weekdays, and even if he saw him, he was always smiling and talkative.But just now, when he was stared at by Guo Jia's eyes, he suddenly felt that all his secrets had been seen through, and there was nothing left.

But what if it is seen through?

Cao Pi's eyes flashed, and the boy's black and white pupils gradually condensed murderous intent.

He really didn't believe Sima Yi.Being willing to cover up Sima Yi's message now is not for using him in the future, but just for a deal.

There is one thing Sima Yi can give him that his father cannot give him, Guo Jia cannot give him, this is something that almost everyone in Cao Ying cannot give him:

Zhang Xiu's life.

In October of the fifth year of Jian'an, the army was in charge.In November, the army arrived at Xudu and returned to the court in triumph.It will be deep winter now, and the weather will only get colder in the future. In addition, after the Guandu War, food and grass are in short supply, and soldiers and horses have to rest. Soldiers who have been fighting all year round can finally reunite with their families at home and reunite with their families. Let's cross the new year with Meimei, and wait until the spring of next year, and then plan to fight.

But Guo Jia, who returned home after nearly a year, was stunned by the little doll carved in powder and jade in front of him.

"The young master was born in September, but the young master was still on the battlefield at that time, so he never had the opportunity to tell the happy event to the young master." Seeing Guo Jia's appearance, Xiwu suppressed a smile, and felt sorry for Guo Jia. Jia explained, "However, the young master already knew about the pregnancy. Counting the days, I'm afraid he knew about the young master's birth."

Guo Jia understands that there is no chance to pass this news to Guandu.In the battle of Guandu, the situation was critical, and the military newspaper took precedence in everything. If every family could send family letters through the channel of conveying the important matters of the military newspaper, it would have been a mess.But Guo Jia knew that the child was born, but Guo Jia really didn't think about it until Xu Du suddenly saw the two-month-old child.

He was really not a good father.

"Where's Cao?" Guo Jia asked, although he almost knew the answer.

"Died due to dystocia." Speaking of this woman, Lian Xiwu's voice could not help but turn cold.The next second, he remembered something. He raised his eyes and saw the guilt in Guo Jia's eyes looking at the child, and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, young master. The young master has been doing well these few months. This nurse was invited by Mrs. Bian. Experience Rich, and Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Tang also come to the mansion to take care of him from time to time, so the young master will not be wronged."

"What is Feng Xiao talking about?" At this moment, a voice came from behind.Guo Jia and Xi Wu turned their heads and saw that it was Cao Cao.Looking at the dusty look, it was clear that he came here in a hurry not long after returning to the mansion.

"Minggong," Guo Jia nodded as a salute, "Why are you here at this hour?"

"As soon as Gu just returned to the mansion, I heard about Feng Xiaoxi's acquisition of Lin'er." Cao Cao said with a smile, "I also heard that the child has not yet been named, so I hurried over here to seize the opportunity. Feng Xiao's child must come alone named."

"Duke Ming is going to take away Jia's opportunity to be a father." Guo Jia sighed with a smile, and asked curiously, "I don't know what name you want to name Jia's son based on Duke Ming's literary talents?"

"Yiyi Liangshan, Wei Yudian. Hanhou is ordered, and the king ordered it." Cao Cao chanted slowly as he exited, and it seemed that he had an idea on the way, "Feng Xiao thought, what about the word 'Yi'? "

"Zu Rong's ancestral examination, my life will not be forfeited. ? No court party, to assist Rongpi... Minggong thinks that Jia's hard work for Minggong is not enough, and he also recruited Jia's son to be the Marquis of Han who was kidnapped that night." Guo Jia half-jokingly said, "Jia should stay in seclusion as early as possible, lest this child blame Jia in the future."

"They are all fathers, and they are just joking." Cao Cao shook his head with a smile.He walked up to the wet nurse, interested in teasing the child.The two-month-old baby's face was still wrinkled, but he could already see things clearly. When he saw Cao Cao, for some reason, he burst into tears with a "wow".

The nurse quickly pleaded guilty and began to coax the child, leaving Cao Cao standing there with a face of embarrassment, and took back the hand he had just stretched out to tease the child.

"It seems that the lord doesn't like Yi'er." Guo Jia smiled at Cao Cao, walked up to the wet nurse, and was about to say something coaxing.Unexpectedly, the child, seeing the change of person in front of him, from Cao Cao to Guo Jia, cried even more fiercely, so frightened that Xi Wu hurriedly pushed Guo Jia away, and began to coax softly with the nurse.

Guo Jia could only stand aside more awkwardly than Cao Cao, and had to admit that he seemed to be less liked by children.

"Duke Ming, why don't Jia and you walk into the front hall and talk about business first?"

"... Guzheng has this intention."

Yecheng, Jizhou, General Yuan's Mansion

"Cough cough, cough cough!" Suppressing the smell of blood in his throat, Yuan Shaoqiang sat behind the case with his back straightened, and asked everyone in the hall, "After the military inventory is completed, how much did our army lose in this battle? "

All the staff in the hall looked at each other, you pushed me to hide, in the end, Guo Tu, who was sitting at the top, had no choice but to force himself to be the leader, and replied: "My lord, nearly 8 people were killed in our army, and the wounded were not counted." Count, five thousand war horses, and heavy food and grass..."

With a sound of "bang", Yuan Shao hammered hard on the case and made a loud noise, Guo Tu immediately stopped, not daring to speak further.

Yuan Shao's brows were already furrowed like a river, and he had to use all his strength to hold back the anger in his heart, so that he could maintain his usual lenient attitude: "How is the situation in the counties in Central Ji?"

This question is easy to answer, and Pang Ji hurriedly said: "All the lords in the state have expressed their surrender when they heard that the lord has returned. Now the situation in the state is stable, and the lord can feel at ease. It's just..."

"Just how?"

"It's just that Tian Feng heard that the lord was defeated by Cao Cao, so he clapped his hands and laughed in prison, and said..."

"What else?!"

"He also said that what he said before he set off for the expedition was important, and the Lord must use it on him."

"What a Tian Feng!" Yuan Shao was furious, "He came back from a big defeat, but he laughed. In his eyes, only his fame and fortune, how could he ever have the loyalty of a courtier?! Such a person, how can you expect more?" Gu will reuse him, wishful thinking! Come, tell Gu to order, kill him quickly!"

Everyone was shocked.Xin Ping got up quickly, wanting to intercede for Tian Feng: "My lord, Xinfeng has lost the battle. At this time, people are killing people..."

"It is for the sake of the hearts of the people that Gu wants to kill Tian Feng! Otherwise, this person in Jizhou who has a dark heart really thinks that Gu will not kill people!" Yuan Shao said sharply.He was already unwell, and he was here to hold on for business, but what he heard was bad news one after another.Right now, looking at the group of counselors in the hall, he felt irritated, "That's the matter, you all stand down."

All the counselors exchanged glances, knowing that there was no way to recover Tian Feng, so they had to stand up, salute and leave.

"By the way, Zhengnan, call Shang'er to Gu."

"promise."

After leaving the mansion, the crowd scattered in twos and threes, Guo Tu leaned over to Xin Ping's side, and said in a low voice: "Zhong Zhi, you think the lord will call Yuan Shang to go, why?"

Xin Ping glanced at him, and said: "It's a well-known fact that the lord prefers Mr. Shang. Aren't you and Mr. Shang of the same mind? You can ask Mr. Shang about this matter later."

Guo Tu was annoyed: "You know why Tu recommended Yuan Shang to escort the batch of grain and grass that day, but didn't you know that Cao Cao was coming to burn the grain?"

"Yes! Yes! In order to make Mr. Shang lose the respect of the lord, you deliberately revealed the clues of the grain to Cao Ying, paving the way for the eldest son. But before you and the eldest son planned this matter, why didn't you tell me first? Then Cao Cao is a foreign enemy, the dispute between the eldest son and the Shang son is nothing more than an internal trouble, the foreign enemy is in front of you, but you are all thinking about fighting inside, and now it has led to such a big defeat, can you bear it?!"

Faced with Xin Ping's accusation, Guo Tu couldn't refute it in a word, so he could only bite the bullet and listened to it before continuing: "Okay, okay, anyway, Guandu has passed, what we need to see is the present. Zhongzhi Now, my lord, you and I can see Yuan Shang's love for you. Even Pang Ji and Shen Pei, who are with Yuan Shang and have the heart of abandoning the elders and establishing the young, the lord obeys them. Look, today Tian Feng..." Guo Tu paused and lowered his voice, "Tian Feng, it's a lesson for you and me."

Xin Ping stopped abruptly and looked at Guo Tu: "Gongze, what do you mean?"

Guo Tu showed a meaningful smile: "Zhongzhi, although the lord favors Yuan Shang now, after all, he has not officially established an heir. The elder and younger are orderly. Even if the eldest son is adopted, he is still a legitimate heir. After the war, the lord's health It's been bad all the time, if the body is not good, it will be faster..."

"Ridiculous!" Xin Ping yelled, "Guo Gongze, out of the friendship of colleagues, all the things you said today will be kept secret for you temporarily. But if you still have evil intentions, Ping promises to immediately make you follow Tian Feng's footsteps." !” After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage without looking back.

"I'm stubborn." Guo Tu cursed secretly.Xin Ping is good at everything, but he can't turn his head around.It's not that he wants to overthrow the Yuan family in Hebei, he just wants to make the father and son change faster.When the time comes, Yuan Tan will be in power. As counselors, he and Xin Ping will be rich and rich, with inexhaustible enjoyment. How can it be like today, being oppressed by Pang Ji's judge and oppressed, and still fearful in front of the lord.

He Xin Zhongzhi didn't have the guts, but he Guo Tu did.Coincidentally, when he succeeds in the future, there will be one less person to share with him.

Guo Tu shook his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the wine shop that Yuan Tan often went to.He believed that the eldest son, who had always planned, would be more willing to listen to his plans than Xin Ping.
