Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

"Being favored is the highest, and disgrace is the lowest. If you get it, you will be surprised, and if you lose it, you will be surprised." [-] "Tao Te Ching"

Guo Jia is a person with a strong enough heart. For him, the honor and humiliation bestowed by others are just like official titles, wealth, etc., which are only external things stored in his life.Temporarily attached to his name, not brought with life, not taken with death.If these deposited things are taken away, you will be unhappy in various ways, and even lose yourself, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

This is also the main reason why he is unrestrained and unrestrained, not stagnant in things.

It is a kind of luck to get those courtesies and honors, and there is no need to bother yourself if you lose them.

The wave is day by day, except for life and death, there is no big deal.

At least everyone Guo Jia wanted to protect was protected.

In the official history, when Cao Cao attacked Yecheng, he asked Xin Pi to lead his troops to charge into battle.

Standing on the turret in the southeast, Shenpei saw Xin Pi leading the army attacking the city, resented Xin Ping and Guo Tu for corrupting Jizhou, and ordered the execution of Xin Ping's family who were imprisoned in Yecheng Prison.

When Cao Jun invaded Yecheng, Xin Pi rode his horse and rushed to the prison immediately, trying to rescue the family members of his brother Xin Ping. However, more than 80 still warm corpses were waiting for him.

Later, Shen Pei was captured alive by Cao Jun.Simpi's eyes were red, and he whipped the judge's head with a horsewhip, cursing: "Slave, you are dead today!" The judge turned around and said, "Rat, lead Cao Cao to destroy my Jizhou, I can't wait to kill you! Not to mention my life and death, Can you call the shots?"

Cao Cao admired the loyalty of the judge, and really wanted to recruit him, jokingly said: "I was patrolling the siege that day, why did you have so many arrows?"

The judge said coldly: "I only hate that there are too few arrows."

Cao Cao didn't want to kill the judge, but passed the steps three times in a row, and the judge still had no intention of yielding. Simpi cried bitterly again, so Cao Cao ordered the judge to be beheaded.

Before his execution, the judge asked to die facing north. He said: "My lord is in the north."

The lords of Cao Ying felt his loyalty and all sighed.

During the attack on Jizhou this time, I heard that Xin Ping’s family members were imprisoned. Guo Jia used the power of the informant department to buy off the prison guards with a lot of money, and asked Simpi if he had made any friends that he could entrust during these years in Yecheng. Big friends?

Xin Pi contacted Shen Pei's nephew Shen Rong, and secretly transferred Xin Ping's family members before the city was destroyed.There are more than 80 members of Xin's family, except for one old and one young who died of illness in prison due to poor health, the rest have survived.

This can be regarded as the best memorial to the deceased friend Xin Ping.

Shenpei would rather die than surrender, he did not have a death feud with Simpi, and his nephew Shenrong was kind to the Xin family, and if Simpi interceded, Shenpei became a prisoner of war with high treatment just like Jushou.

And Guo Tu.In the official history, Yuan Tan was defeated in battle. When he fled for his life, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were gorgeous, and he was chased by tiger and leopard riders.Unfortunately, Yuan Tan fell off his horse, was caught up by the tiger and leopard rider, and chopped him down with a knife.Guo Tu was also beheaded.

Guo Tu may not be a good person, but he has always had a deep friendship with Guo Jia.The history books are brief, and it is not stated whether Guo Tu was killed on the battlefield, or whether he was captured first and then executed.

Guo Jia had the cheek to ask Xin Pi to draw a portrait of Guo Tu, and asked Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Zhao Ang to help, and asked them to try their best to be the first to capture the person in the painting alive, and save his fellow clan's life.

It never occurred to me that Lu Bu, who had no brains, took the lead and captured Guo Tu alive, but was limped by Guo Tu's few words, and foolishly tied Guo Tu to a safe place and let him go.

I have to mention that with the flying speed of the red rabbit horse, few people could clearly see who Lu Bu had caught.Lu Bu explained it this way: when he defected to Yuan Shao, a civil official had framed him, and happened to meet him, so he was tied up in a remote place and killed.

For the first time, Guo Jia felt that his poor brain might be a blessing, and this ending was not bad.If he really wants to capture Guo Tu back, he has to go to Cao Cao to ask for grace.With Guo Tu's reputation, he may not be pardoned.

After Yuan Tan's death, because he surrendered and rebelled, he behaved badly, and his body was displayed in the market.

Guo Tusuyi went to Yecheng and begged to see Cao Cao, saying that as long as he was allowed to bury Yuan Tan, he would die without regret.

Cao Cao couldn't believe that Guo Tu was actually a little bit loyal. The term "pit goods" was still learned from Guo Jia, and Guo Tu contributed a lot to Yuan's defeat.In the Battle of Guandu, every major decision-making mistake Yuan Shao made basically had Guo Tu's advice behind him.Of course, in all fairness, if Yuan Shao can implement those advices in a correct way, it may not necessarily be a bad idea.

What Guo Tu shows in front of everyone is mostly selfish and ruthless, fearing that the world will not be chaotic, and a negative image of "doing anything to achieve the goal".At this moment, the person standing in the main hall of the Yecheng government office is a middle-aged Confucian scholar with outstanding appearance, and his words and deeds are quite famous. It is no wonder that Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan both love to listen to him fooling around.

After Yuan Tan was buried, Cao Cao originally wanted to kill Guo Tu.As a Yingchuan scholar, this guy had forcibly won a place in Hebei and offended many prominent families in Hebei, beheading him would be very satisfying.

However, thinking of Guo Jia comforting Simpi with a smile recently, saying that he will be a hero again in 20 years.In fact, regarding the sudden death of his friend Xin Ping, the prodigal son probably felt no less sad than Sim Pi, and he was a little sick all over.

According to the eyeliner: Guo Tu once bid farewell to Guo Jia and Xin Pi. The three of them met in a wine shop in Yecheng, with a few pots of turbid wine, two plates of pastries, and sang "Caiwei" after being drunk: "Picking Wei, Wei Yi Stopping. Days return, days return, and years don’t stop... In the past, I went, Yang Liu Yiyi. Now I come to think, rain and snow are falling..."

Simpi cried bitterly, Guo Tu also shed a few tears, only Guo Jia was still smiling.

Cao Cao asked Guo Tu, and found out that Guo Jia had never cried since he was a child. He lost his son when he was two years old.After all, Cao Cao couldn't bear to let Guo Jia go through another life and death farewell, waved his hand, released Guo Tu, and declared that he had been executed.

Guo Tu changed his name and retired with his family.

It is said that Xu Chu got a hint from Cao Cao and killed Xu You with one blow.Cao Cao put on a show, reprimanded Xu Chu symbolically, and asked him to bury Xu You generously.

As Cao Cao's young friend, Xu You has made great achievements, but he was a little proud and spoke contemptuously, so he ended up in such a miserable end.The poem goes: Xu You from Nanyang can be laughed at, and he wants to be proud of the prince with his chest.If you don't think about Cao Cao like a bear and tiger, you still think that I got Jizhou.

The princes of Cao Ying were saddened by the death of the rabbit and the fox, and reflected on their words and deeds one after another, and strictly abided by the etiquette of superiority and inferiority.

Even the military generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family had to respectfully call "Duke Ming" in front of everyone. Appellations such as elder brother and uncle could only be used in private.

Cao Cao's seat is still extended, but in public, no one can sit beside him anymore.

Guo Jia still went his own way, but changed his seat to the next one to harm his colleagues.

Cao Cao set up school officials and appointed Lu Hong and Zhao Da as school officials, responsible for supervising and spying on the words and deeds of all officials.

These are two out-and-out villains, dogs who bit people for Cao Cao, and the officials were trembling.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with the effect of establishing majesty. He conferred the titles of heroes, more than 20 marquises at a time, most of them were military generals, and there were also civil servants.

Among them, Xun You was granted the title of Marquis of Lingshu Ting, Guo Jia was named Marquis of Weiyang Ting, Cheng Yu was named Marquis of Anguo Ting, and Xi Yi was named Marquis of Changyuan Ting.

Cao Cao is a caring person, and Xu Du is located in Yingchuan County, so Yingchuan cannot be used as a fief.Guo Jia's fief is located in Fugou County. It is the secluded place that Guo Jia and Guo Xi built together to escape the war when he was young, a paradise.

Guo Jia: The log cabin where my uncle lives in seclusion is in my fiefdom, and the settlements I built privately have been legal since then.Crow Mountain, ah bah, Wuyan Mountain is also mine. When I was young, I gathered on the mountain with Xun Yu, and enjoyed the cloudy, rainy, snowy, crows, ancient temples, mountain breeze, and bright moon together. I can appreciate it again in the future .

When the prodigal son was granted the title of Marquis, he looked indifferent, and when he learned the location of the fief, he immediately smiled.Cao Cao felt that his thoughts were in the right place, and he was also very happy.

As for why Xun Yu was not included in the "Great Conferring Hero" this time, it was not that Cao Cao missed him, but that he had asked for the title for Xun Yu.The reason is: I have nothing to do in the field.

Cao Cao rewarded Xun Yu with kindness, and he was rejected not once or twice.

Xun Yu repeatedly declined. What he wanted in this life was not a high official and a generous salary.

Cao Cao wrote to Xun Yu: "We have come to work together with the king. We have set up a court, and the king's chancellor is Kuangbi, the king's prime minister is for raising people, the prime minister is for advice, and the prime minister is for conspiracy. There are too many. It may not be all field battles, I hope you will not let me go."

Only then did Xun Yu accept the title of Marquis of Long Live Pavilion.

Wufu Minfeng of Jizhou, Cao Cao concurrently served as the shepherd of Jizhou, and recruited Cui Yan, a famous scholar in Qinghe, to work as a Biejia.At the banquet, he said: "After checking the household registration, there can be as many as 30 young and strong men, and Jizhou can be called a big state."

Cui Yan said awe-inspiringly: "Now the Han family is falling apart, the Yuan brothers are fighting with each other, and the common people's corpses are exposed in the wilderness. When Wang Shi arrived, he didn't first spread the voice of benevolent government, but he took the expansion of the army as the top priority. Could it be that the elders of our state entrusted Minggong hope?"

All the guests were shocked.

Cui Yan was one of Cao Cao's young friends. He was handsome and elegant, upright, and his demeanor was not inferior to Xun Lingjun's.Everyone was afraid that he would follow Xu You's footsteps in the next moment.After all, there is only one Lingjun, and if the others dare to rebel against Cao Cao, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was deeply moved and apologized to Cui Yan.Cao Sikong's mind is really hard to guess.

In the past, when you went out to war and returned from victory, you could come back and live in Xudu for a period of time.However, this time, Cao Cao stayed in Yecheng and did not leave.

At this time, Yuan Shang was defeated and retreated to Youzhou with [-] people.Gao Gan, governor of Bingzhou, and Zhang Yan of Heishan surrendered, and the Yuan family was already in decline.Looking at the world, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, etc., seem to have no strength to compete with Cao Cao.

Many officials became impetuous, and some people privately advised Cao Cao to restore the Kyushu system. The original words were like this: "It is better to restore the Kyushu system, and then the Jizhou system will have a large number of people, and the world will obey."

The Sikong shogunate dominates Chao Gang, and people always make irresponsible remarks.If the Kyushu system is followed, Bingzhou and Youzhou, as well as Hedong County, Fengyi County, Fufeng County, and Xihe County will all be merged into Jizhou. Cao Cao, the Jizhou Shepherd and Yanzhou Shepherd, can establish a country within a country reasonably and legally, and govern Hebei and Youzhou , Bing, Yan and other places.

The proposal to restore the Kyushu system made Cao Cao very tempted. Since the Yidai Zhao incident, he has made up his mind to "live separately" from the emperor Liu Xie.He didn't want to go back to Xudu, and even planned to move his family to Yecheng.And his subordinates will also move here to establish a new center of power in Jizhou, completely ignoring the emperor Liu Xie.

By the way, let the public and officials stand in line, whether to follow Liu Xiewo in Xudu for the elderly, or support Cao Cao to control the government, sooner or later he must make a choice.

But Cao Cao did not expect that the memorial to restore the Kyushu system was sent to Shangshutai, but Xun Yu detained it.

Xun Yu's letter: I hope that the public will urgently lead troops to settle in Hebei first, then restore the old capital, and face Jingzhou in the south. If the tribute is not accepted, the world will know the general will and everyone will be at ease.The great stability of the world is based on discussing the ancient system, which will benefit the society for a long time.

Cao Cao was very depressed, so he took Guo Jia to drink.

When the wine was hot, Cao Cao suddenly waved all the attendants to leave, leaving only Guo Jia, staring at him closely, and asked: "According to Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo is like this, but are you dissatisfied with Gu?"
