That night, Guo Jia hosted a banquet and invited Chen Deng for a drink, accompanied by Xi Zhicai and Liu Ye.

Treating guests is just an excuse, in fact, Guo Jia just wants to drink some wine.He was really miserable while taking the medicine. Not only was he banned from drinking alcohol, but even tea could not be drunk because it would affect the efficacy of the medicine.

June is the season when greengages are ripe. Dotted greengages with frosting sugar and steamed pork ribs with snow lotus root are suitable for wine.

However, just as Xi Zhi finished cooking the wine, Xun Yu came uninvited, and everyone quickly got up to salute.

Xun Yu took his seat gracefully, and under his silent gaze, Xi Zhicai silently removed the jug, not daring to pour wine for Guo Jia.

Guo Jia opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound. When meeting Xun Yu with his sharp teeth, he became tongue-tied.He took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, suppressing his addiction to alcohol, and leaned over to the side of Xun Yu's seat, picked up the spoon, and served Xun Yu a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.

Xi Zhicai unabashedly gave Guo Jia a contemptuous look: Feng Xiao, you are so cowardly.

Guo Jia raised his chin slightly: Are you brave enough?Wen Ruo gave me a casual look, and didn't even dare to pour me wine.Besides, Wen Ruo's care is a sweet burden.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone opened the chatterbox and chatted.

Nowadays, speech is relatively free. Cao Cao's Sikong shogunate dominates the court, and scholars talk and mock every day. As long as you don't sit at the gate of Sikong mansion and swear at the street like Mi Heng, no one will care.Such was the atmosphere. Back then, when Emperor Shun was in power, his courtiers bluntly said that he was a foolish emperor, and under normal circumstances they would not be punished for this.

However, Liu Ye is a clan member of the Han family after all, and he should avoid talking about government affairs in his presence.Everyone is a sensible person, so just pick some strange stories, poetry and allusions, and discuss them at will.

For some reason, I mentioned the recent rumor in Xudu that "Xun Lingjun came to others, and sat on the table for three days."

Chen Deng: "Feng Xiao, the seats at your house have always been delicious, right? I really can't figure it out, Wen Ruo is a modest gentleman, how could he make friends with a prodigal son like you?" It is said that Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo are young friends, and the difference in temperament between the two is also Somewhat too big.Drinking with Wen Ruo, I realized that there are really elegant people down to the bone in the world.

Guo Jia coughed dryly.

Xi Zhicai: "Let me tell you something, I also heard it. Feng Xiao has been addicted to alcohol since he was a child. When he first entered the academy, every time he went to drink, he asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant to record the account in Wen Ruo's account." Later, the wine account accumulated for a year, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant took the account book to the Xun Mansion to settle the account, which caused Wen Ruo to be banned for half a month."

Everyone laughed and exchanged cups.

Guo Jia: This kind of dark history has also been uncovered... Who told Zhicai?

In fact, back then he teased the beautiful orchid who was selling wine, calling each sister (sister) sweetly, which made orchid always want to scoop up more wine for him.

Later, there was no later, after Xun Yu was banned for half a month, the method of keeping drinks on credit was canceled. If Guo Jia wanted to drink, Xun Yu would accompany him in and out of the wine shop.Hu Ji was told by Xun Yu to serve Guo Jia at most a pot of wine each time.

The latest military report: Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi died, and was killed by Yuan Shao.

The matter started when Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao divide his troops to attack Xudu. Yuan Shao hesitated. The general will go to Guandu to set up a defense line.

It is said that Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao's mortal enemy, was already in trouble. He retreated to Yijing and was surrounded by Yuan Ying's general Ju Yi.However, due to Yuan Shao's sudden mobilization of troops, a gap appeared in the encirclement.Gongsun Zan took advantage of the momentum to fight back, defeated Qu Yi, and got all of his food and grass.

Yuan Shao scolded Ju Yi angrily, but unexpectedly, the general had a bad temper, and confronted him back, accusing Yuan Shao of making a wrong decision.

Yuan Shao hates others not giving him face the most, not to mention that this Ju Yi is self-reliant and has always been arrogant.In a rage, Yuan Shao beheaded Ju Yi and annexed his followers.

Guo Jia: Ju Yi used [-] euphorbia soldiers to cooperate with the crossbowmen to defeat Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness, and defeated the cavalry with infantry. This is definitely a proud achievement in the era of cold weapons. What's wrong with being proud?If this was placed in Cao Ying, it would not be a problem at all. Lu Bu was proud every day, and Cao Cao didn't do anything to him.

Ju Yi made great military achievements, Yuan Shao didn't think of his past achievements at all, and killed him as soon as he said he would.This chilled the hearts of all the generals in the Yuan camp, especially Zhang Yun and Gao Lan. Like Ju Yi, both of them used to be Han Fu's generals, not Yuan Shao's confidants, and their status in the Yuan camp was awkward.The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad.

For Yuan Shao, there was no mistake in decision-making.Ju Yi's defeat was due to his arrogance, and Tian Feng, who proposed to divide his troops to attack Xudu, and Ju Shou, who supported Tian Feng, were unreliable.

In contrast, Guo Tu, who played against Toyoda Wada, seemed very prescient.What did Guo Tu say?A trapped beast is still fighting, and Gongsun Zan is a ferocious beast in a desperate situation. Once the troops are divided, he will fight back and hurt people desperately.

Moreover, Guo Tu quickly gave Yuan Shao a surprise, he intercepted Gongsun Zan's secret letter.

The secret letter revealed: Gongsun Zan sent his son to ask for help from Heishan Zhang Yan, and Heishan Zhang Yan led [-] troops to rescue Gongsun Zan in three ways.The two parties agreed: when the reinforcements arrived, Gongsun Zan would go out of the city to fight against Yuan Shao with fire as a sign, and together with Zhang Yan, they would flank Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu suggested to follow the strategy, set up an ambush in advance, and set up fire as a sign, so that Gongsun Zan would mistakenly think that the rescuers had arrived, and tricked him out of the city.

Yuan Shao acted according to the plan, and indeed he lured Gongsun Zan, and the ambush soldiers rushed forward. Gongsun Zan was defeated and retreated to Yijing City to hold on.

Guo Tu offered another plan to have Yuan Shao's army change their armor and flags, pretending to be Gongsun Zan's army, and beat Zhang Yan severely. Zhang Yan was defeated and returned to Changshan.

Yuan Shao won battles one after another, full of vigor, and planned to destroy Gongsun Zan, so he went to attack Cao Cao.He ordered that 30 people from Yanhe counties and counties be recruited to build camps along the Yellow River.Civil officials and generals at all levels cheered up and prepared for the battle against Cao Cao.

At this time, Jushou and Tian Feng ran out to object again, saying that Hebei had been fighting for years and the people were exhausted, so they should rest and recuperate.Cao Cao was eager for a decisive battle because Cao Cao's territory belonged to the place of the Fourth War, and if he didn't take the initiative to attack, he might be surrounded and beaten one day.

The general has all the people in the four states, he is a hero outside, and he is engaged in agricultural warfare inside. There is no need to fight Cao Cao. You just need to harass Cao Cao's territory with cavalry, so that he will be exhausted and the people under his rule will have no peace In two years, Cao Cao can be exhausted and the world can be ruled by sitting down.

Then, Tian Feng and Jushou were rationed by Guo Tu and Shen: In a world of great controversy, how can there be any princes in the world who are willing to be the leader?The method of using troops is ten times the enemy's strength, encircle it, and five times it, attack it. If the strength is equal, you can fight.Now, with the lord's brilliance and martial arts, we can join forces with the mighty army in the Heshuo area to attack Cao Cao, and it will be as easy as turning the palm of our hand...

A good discussion turned into a debate once again, with his confidants arguing endlessly, Yuan Shao's head was as big as a fight, and he didn't know whose opinion he should listen to.But in his heart, he actually favored Guo Tu more.

Guo Tu advocated: if Gongsun Zan is destroyed, Cao Cao will be crushed.It is best not to waste time, and now send three waves of envoys, one to Xudu, to make friends with veterans loyal to the Han Dynasty, to encourage them to rebel, and to disrupt the situation.These idiots who don't have soldiers in their hands will certainly not be able to accomplish anything, but they can cause some troubles for Cao Cao.

A wave of envoys went to Jingzhou, formed an alliance with Liu Biao, and agreed to send troops together to attack Cao Cao.The last wave went to Jiangdong, contacted Sun Ce, and asked Sun Ce to attack Xudu at the critical moment of Yuan Cao's battle.

Guo Tu: Attacking Cao Cao immediately is Yuan Shao's idea. It's no wonder Yuan Shao disagrees.Tian Feng and Jushou, don't waste your efforts, the lord will still listen to me after discussing this matter for a while.
