[Cao Guo] Duan Ge Xing

He reported to the guard with a few words, and didn't take this matter to heart.

Later, whenever Cao Cao thought of his time in Luoyang, he couldn't help feeling regretful.At that time, he was too young, he didn't understand his own thoughts, and he didn't understand Guo Jia's dodging eyes.Although at Guo Jia's age at that time, even if Cao Cao understood it, he wouldn't do anything to him, but if time could turn back, Cao Cao would definitely treat Guo Jia better.As long as he thinks that Guo Jia has worked hard for him for so many years, and he will not talk about it in a few days of peace, and he will not die in the end, Cao Cao feels that if he had understood earlier, maybe they would have less regret.

But Cao Cao didn't know anything at that time.Luoyang is a place full of temptations, and he met Yuan Shao again in Luoyang.This guy came two years earlier than Cao Cao, and he has awakened to live up to everyone's expectations. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will show off his sharp muscles in front of Cao Cao, not to mention how embarrassing he is.Cao Cao couldn't understand him, but after all, he was a comrade in arms who created black history together when he was young, and he was about the same age, so he could find a place to go if he had fun.Yuan Shao had a clear idea of ​​the eating, drinking, entertainment and sensual places in Luoyang before, and when he saw that Cao Cao had just arrived, he generously pointed out the way for him.The two had a great time calling and calling friends, and their nightlife was very corrupt.

As the saying goes, good times don't last long.Cao Cao's extravagant life had only been spent for less than two months, and he hadn't even memorized the roads in Luoyang's urban area, so there was a fight outside.

The Taipingdao rebellion, the Yellow Turban Army sprung up overnight, everywhere.

A call-up notice was posted in Luoyang City. Cao Cao was a little excited after seeing it. He wanted to join the army.

After returning home, he told Guo Jia about this idea, but Guo Jia thought about it and said, "It's not possible now."

Cao Cao asked him why, and Guo Jia said that when he was wandering outside, he met many people from the Taiping Dao. The days will not last long.But now that these people have just risen, their momentum is fierce, and they must overwhelm the officers and soldiers in momentum, so the first batch of officers and soldiers pushed to the front line are likely to be reduced to cannon fodder, let alone meritorious service.Only after a few days have elapsed and the vigor of the Yellow Turban Army is worn down, will the official army have a chance to counterattack.

"Don't be cannon fodder." Finally, he persuaded Cao Cao seriously.

Cao Cao calmed down after hearing what he said, and thought it made sense, so he planned to wait and see what happened.

Sure enough, in the first three months, the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing, and the officers and soldiers were caught off guard and lost a lot of territory.But gradually, the battle fell into a stalemate. Although the Yellow Turban Army had a large number, they failed to make further progress.Cao Cao saw that the time was right, so he took the initiative to ask for a job.Considering his family background, his superiors assigned him a team, but because he was too young, this team was sent to reinforce the Huangfusong and Zhu Jun armies who were trapped in Changsha, and then temporarily obeyed Huangfusong's unified dispatch.

Cao Cao originally wanted Guo Jia to stay in Luoyang to look after the house, but Guo Jia wanted to follow him anyway, so Cao Cao had no choice but to take him with him.When they drove from Luoyang to Changshe, they met the Yellow Turban Army who had been defeated by Huangfusong and Zhu Jun.The three armies attacked, and Cao Cao fought this battle very easily.After joining forces, they took advantage of the victory and pursued, and finally reached Yangdi, Guo Jia's hometown, a month later.

Today's Yangdi is no longer what it looked like when Guo Jia left home when he was a child. Although it is the prefecture of Yingchuan County, it is one of the places that have suffered the most from the war.When Cao Cao and Guo Jia entered the city, they saw traces of fighting and burning everywhere in the city, the streets were deserted, and the corpses of some yellow scarf soldiers who had not been buried were lying on the side of the road.

"Do you want to go and see the house you used to live in?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.This is Guo Jia's hometown after all, I don't know if he still has something in mind.

But Guo Jia just shook his head lightly: "So what can I do after seeing it? Don't bother."

The look on his face when he spoke touched Cao Cao.In the past, Cao Cao thought that Guo Jia was precocious, and more because he thought he was a ghost, young but full of ideas, and often showed a sharpness and transparency that did not match his actual age.But at this moment Cao Cao suddenly realized that Guo Jia had really grown up.Before he knew it, Guo Jia's mind had become much deeper than he imagined.

After returning to the camp, Cao Cao tried to get a chicken, and quietly cooked it for Guo Jia in his military tent.Guo Jia was still growing, but after two months of marching, Cao Cao lost a lot of weight when he saw him.Although Cao Cao didn't let him down in terms of food, he was too tired from fighting. Recently, when Cao Cao saw his thin face, he felt that he really shouldn't agree to take him out.

After the chicken was cooked, Cao Cao picked out the two legs and put them in Guo Jia's bowl.It was very quiet outside the camp, they had been chasing all the way before, and they finally stopped to rectify and rest when they came to Yangdi.

Cao Cao buried his head in his mouth and ate the chicken. Thinking of what he saw in the city, he said with complicated emotions: "I'm afraid this world will never get better."

Guo Jia was tearing up the chicken thighs with his teeth to eat, and said, "I don't know how it will develop in the future, but if this chaos continues, sooner or later there will be a situation of separatism."

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "It is said that the times make heroes. If it really comes to that point, instead of running errands for others to conquer the world, it is better to do it yourself."

Guo Jia licked the oil on his lips, nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

5,

From the reinforcement of the Changshe to the triumphant return, Cao Cao and Guo Jia spent half a year abroad before returning to Luoyang.In quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was a meritorious person, and his superiors rewarded Cao Cao for his meritorious service, and promoted Cao Cao to an official position.

After Cao Cao had a peaceful life in Luoyang, he finally fed Guo Jia a little fatter, and his heart that was just about to move became more at ease.However, the external situation did not stabilize because of the cessation of the war. After the Yellow Turban, soon there were local tyrants who launched a rebellion.In this chaos, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, and the situation in Beijing took a turn for the worse.The safest place has become the most dangerous place instead, and everyone is in danger for a while, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be killed.

Cao Cao naturally refused to work for Dong Zhuo.He was at a young age, and more than once he secretly thought about how to get rid of this culprit.But he didn't discuss this matter with Guo Jia, because in today's Luoyang, the less you know, the safer you are. If there is such a day, he doesn't want to involve Guo Jia.

At first Cao Cao just thought about it on his own, but soon Dong Zhuo intensified and made people angry, so some officials headed by Wang Yun secretly united and came up with a plan to assassinate Dong. became a participant in this plan.

Wang Yun told Cao Cao that if he decides to participate in this matter, it is best to move the family members in Luoyang away first, so as not to worry about the future.But Cao Cao was single and had no family members. The only one he worried about was Guo Jia, so he immediately started to prepare, planning to send Guo Jia away first.

This incident was unexpectedly resisted and opposed by Guo Jia.Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia's intuition was sometimes frighteningly sharp.He never said a word about the secret plan in front of Guo Jia, but when he finished talking about the relocation arrangement, Guo Jia stared straight into his eyes and said coldly, "I won't leave."

For a moment, Cao Cao thought that he was reluctant to part with himself, and he couldn't bear to talk about it, so he was making trouble here. After all, adolescents are easy to make trouble, so he comforted him foolishly: "Go back and stay here, and wait for things to be dealt with here. When it's over, I'll go back."

But Guo Jia said: "I know you and I have a good relationship. As soon as I leave Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will immediately suspect you."

When he said this, his eyes were very sharp, and there was a kind of reckless determination, which reminded Cao Cao of Guo Jia's desperate and crazy eyes when he was flattened by rosacea.

Cold sweat broke out on Cao Cao's back. It turned out that this kid had guessed it a long time ago.But now he doesn't want to give up halfway, so he has to bite the bullet and pretend to be stupid: "I have nothing to make him doubt. I don't rebel and I don't slow down. Where can I find a hardworking employee like me these days. Don't think about it. No, go back and wait obediently, I will be back soon."

Guo Jia still refused to give up, and said: "Then I'll go back with you after you finish your work."

Cao Cao didn't know how to persuade him, and was very guilty, so he just got angry: "Guo Fengxiao! How many times do you have to say the same thing before I can understand?! Now the mess in Luoyang is already giving me a headache, so don't add more words to me. It's a needless burden!"

After he finished yelling, the room was quiet for a while. Guo Jia's expression didn't change, but he finally nodded and said, "I understand. I'll just go back."

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao felt uncomfortable. When had he ever said such harsh words to Guo Jia before.He immediately took his shoulder and patted him, and said kindly: "It's very chaotic outside now, be careful on the way back, I will send you a few more people. After you return to Qiao County, you will be in Cao The family is waiting for me, don't run around by yourself, understand?"

Guo Jiashun nodded obediently, saying he understood.Cao Cao was relieved.

After that, Cao Cao was busy discussing the details of the plan with Wang Yun, and Guo Jia didn't mention the matter of staying away.Cao Cao hired a group of reliable bodyguards through the relationship of the guards, and selected a few capable and loyal ones from the Cao guys who accompanied him to Luoyang at the beginning, and divided the money and valuables into several parts for them to take separately. Tell them that no matter what happens on the road, even if only one of them survives, they must send Guo Jia back to Cao's house.

On the day of departure, in order to keep a low profile as much as possible, Cao Cao did not go to see him off in person, but only bid farewell to Guo Jia at the door of his house.It wasn't until this time that Cao Cao suddenly thought that if the matter was revealed and he was arrested or killed, he would never see him again.
