Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

This matter is a bit strange, Cao Song is old and afraid of the cold, he wrote back to Cao Cao in the twelfth lunar month of last year, saying that he wanted to spend the winter at the beach where the climate is warmer, and come to Yanzhou again in spring when the ice melts and the snow disappears.

Cao Cao naturally agreed.

Cao Hong shouldered the mission of picking up people, and he never neglected, and arrived in Hua County early to wait.

As for why he went to Hua County, etc., this involves a question of the scope of the territory: Cao Song lives in seclusion in Langye County, which belongs to Xuzhou.Hua County, which borders Langya, belongs to Yanzhou, but currently, Hua County is occupied by Tao Qian.

In the official history, when Cao Cao led his troops to expel Yuan Shu, Yanzhou was empty of troops, and Tao Qian took the opportunity to capture three counties in Yanzhou: Huaxian, Feixian and Rencheng.Cao Cao was so anxious that he could not continue to pursue Yuan Shu, so he directly transferred his troops to attack Tao Qian, regained the lost ground, and seized a dozen counties in Xuzhou.

The beams between the two sides have thus grown.Tao Qian was the number one suspect in Cao Song's death.

Cao Cao avenged his father and stormed Xuzhou, killing more than [-] people.

But the current situation is: Cao Cao was persuaded by Guo Jia and did not start a war with Tao Qian.There is no conflict between the two parties that may harm the family.

After receiving Guo Jia's letter, Chen Deng also arranged a hundred parts to escort Cao Song.Although the number of these trilogy is small, they represent one of the most influential wealthy families in Xuzhou, Xiapi Chen, which is equivalent to the passport and amulet of Xuzhou's territory.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was still attacked.Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao De, was killed with a knife in the posthouse between Langye and Huaxian at the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Saving people is not easy, and killing people is at most a blink of an eye.If Chen Deng's trilogy hadn't resisted for a while, Cao Song might not have been able to wait for Cao Hong to come to rescue him.

Cao Hong's face was quite weathered, and his armor was still stained with dark blood. He was barefoot and knelt on the ground to apologize.The undersides of the eyes were black and blue, and the dark circles under the eyes were obvious.

Anyone could see that Cao Hong hadn't slept peacefully for many days, probably because he took care of Cao Song day and night and had to march.Cao Song carried more than 100 carts of luggage, all of which were transported to Puyang without any loss.

Cao Cao couldn't bear to blame Cao Hong any more, so he helped him up.At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and others hurriedly carried a thick wooden board and walked towards the backyard.

Brocade quilts were spread on the wooden boards. Only Cao Song's head was exposed, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked terminally ill.

Cao Cao walked out quickly and joined the team carrying Cao Song. He was in a rare panic, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Due to an emergency, the lord left in a hurry, leaving Guo Jia, an aide, in the flower hall, and it was impossible to continue reporting work.

Cao Hong did not go out with him, but said to Guo Jia: "Hong is responsible for Mr. Guo's entrustment." Judging by his expression, he was even more ashamed than when he pleaded guilty in front of Cao Cao.

Guo Jia: "Do your best and obey the destiny, the general doesn't have to blame himself." Sure enough, he was too nagging earlier, which caused psychological pressure on Cao Hong?He patted Cao Hong on the shoulder: "Beat Tao Qian, let you be the vanguard."

Cao Hong regained some energy: "Okay, thank you sir!"

Cao Song's matter, after Guo Jia's repeated exhortations, still evolved into what it is now.Guo Jia's heart was so heavy that he couldn't even hold down Xiapichen's signboard, and the attacker even pretended to be Cao Cao's subordinates. It was probably not some stragglers, small fish and shrimps looking for money, but a premeditated robbery.

Guo Jia walked down the corridor, half of his body was hidden in the shade of willows.

The spring sunshine swayed among the sparse and dense willow branches, and every young leaf was as soft as jasper.

Today's world is another world of great contention after the Warring States Period, with heroes vying for the throne and wars everywhere.Monarchs and ministers fight each other, heroes kill each other.No one can be alone.

In the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought again. Tian Kai, governor of Qingzhou, was appointed by Gongsun Zan, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro had already formed an alliance with Gongsun Zan. Although Yuan Shao was strong, he was no match for four hands.

In the south, Yuan Shu just took a breather and occupied Huainan, competing for the territory of Yangzhou with Liu Yao, the newly appointed governor of Yangzhou by the Chang'an court.

Many people migrated to Xuzhou with their families to escape the flames of war.However, Cao Cao and Tao Qian were also going to fight. If those people wanted to escape this catastrophe, they would probably have to move to Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Shuzhong and other places.They are all remote places, and half of the people can starve to death on the way of migration.What's more, there are many obstacles along the way.

For those who lack food and clothing and cannot afford a car, the difficulty of traveling is not only in the mountains and water, but also in the human relationship.

The next day, Chen Deng sent a letter saying that the [-] cavalry who attacked Cao Song were low-ranking schoolmen carefully selected from among the most elite Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou.Along with the letter, there are also two sets of cavalry equipment seized by Chen Deng's trilogy, which are official special Xuanjia. In the entire Xuzhou territory, only Xuzhou Mu Taoqian and Xuzhou Biejia Mizhu can produce this kind of stuff.

Cao Song's condition was not optimistic, and he clamored for Cao Cao to send troops to avenge his brother.

Guo Jia decided to make two-handed preparations.

In addition to regular preparations.It is necessary to let the demon Taoist Zuo Ci play the active role of the magic stick to guide the people of Xuzhou.

In case Cao Song didn't stand up, something happened, and Cao Cao, whose hatred value broke through the sky, led the army of revenge, and he would definitely show the cruelest side of his character.

At that time, Zuo Ci should be able to reduce the hostility of the people towards Cao Cao and avoid massacres caused by unnecessary armed resistance.

At that time, people were superstitious about ghosts and gods, and pretending to be ghosts was originally Zuo Ci's specialty.

Guo Jia also plans to prepare another prop for him: fireworks.This thing is good-looking in later generations, and it was banned because of air pollution, safety hazards and other issues.But if fireworks appeared in the night sky of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be regarded as a miracle.Coupled with Zuo Xianweng's proficient pretentious skills and various magical legends about him, the effect should also be increased.

It is recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu": The ratio of saltpetre to sulfur is nine to one for gunpowder fired vertically.

The saltpeter that Guo Jia bought from Jizhou earlier, plus the sulfur that Zuo Jian obtained from alchemy over the years.After careful experiments by Guo Jia and Zuo Jian, the red fireworks were produced in only three days.

The textbooks of later generations seem to have said: Mixing metal powder with gunpowder can make colorful fireworks, but the cost is too high, and there are certain risks in research and development. Guo Jia resolutely did not mention a word.

However, according to Zuo Jian, the ratio provided by Guo Jia is not suitable, it is better to add an appropriate amount of charcoal powder, and for safety, Zuo Jian used clay to cover the bottom of the bamboo tube and left the lead wire very long.

Therefore, Guo Jia harvested a somewhat long bamboo tube, which looks exactly like the fireworks salutes of later generations. The difference is only the outer packaging, not the cardboard tube, and the burning material is filled in the bamboo tube.

Zuo Ci was not very happy to do such a thankless thing, he insisted that Guo Jia invite him to drink flower wine and let him sit and hug the most beautiful little lady in the Yucui Tower for a night before he would do anything.

It was easy, Guo Jia treated the guests very straightforwardly, Zuo Ci hugged left and right, listened to the best little song sung by the lady of Huakui, You Lianqing, and patted his chest to promise that he would fulfill his mission.

In mid-spring, it turns warm and cold.Guo Jia was slightly drunk, and was accidentally poked in the face by a girl with a flower branch in her hand.He paid the bill in advance, and when he came out of the Yucui Building, a crescent moon was hanging on the willow branches, the apricot blossoms were sparse, and it was a special feeling to return after stepping on the moon.Then, he was tragic.

Xun Yu has been busy with business recently, so he hasn't been to Guo's mansion for a few days. Regarding Guo Jia's leaving early several times, he has never heard of anything, but he never came to see him.

"Qingqing Zipei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?"

He deliberately waited in Guo Jia's bedroom today, smelling the smell of alcohol and makeup on Guo Jia's body, he was already sour, and if he looked closely, there was still a bit of suspicious rouge on the prodigal son's face.

Guo Jia doesn't like the powdery smell of brothels very much, it's too strong and a bit choking.As soon as he entered the room, he asked the boy to draw hot water, took off his clothes, soaked in the bathtub, and washed his whole body.

Xun Yu came to give him clothes and asked, "Going to drink flower wine?"

"Yeah." Guo Jia wiped the water off his body, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "You Lianqing from Xiicuilou sings very nicely."

Xun Yu overturned the jar of vinegar, and pushed Guo Jia against the plum blossom sandalwood bench, a burst of strong lips and teeth plundered.

Guo Jia was knocked down by surprise, and he couldn't get up again when he thought about it. His arms and legs were suppressed in all directions, and he could hardly move.He felt that the strength in Xun Yu's hand continued. It was just a kiss, but after he struggled a bit, Xun Yu suddenly bit down.

Sandalwood Chang almost bears Guo Jia's weight and Xun Yu's strength, making a creaking, overwhelmed sound.

Guo Jia: I take back the sentence "biting is wrong". What the hell is it that you feel high after being bitten?There is no help, cover your face.

He touched the top of Xun Yu's hair, and breathed lightly: "Wen Ruo, you hurt me."

Xun Yu's movements stopped, and he was stunned for an instant. Even his body was half stiff, as if he couldn't face his biting behavior just now. After a long while, he let go of the force that was suppressing Guo Jia, and stroked Guo Jia with trembling fingers. Seeing the pink tooth marks on Guo Jia's neck, he apologized a little helplessly: "I'm sorry."

Guo Jia held Xun Yu's hand unscrupulously, lowered his head and sucked it lightly on his fingertips, and smiled: "I like it, but I just can't stand it, next time I will bite gently, huh?"

Taking advantage of Xun Yu's daze, Guo Jia got up quickly, picked up the single clothes and put them on.Xun Yu tied his coat belt for him, lowered his head and bit his ear lightly, breathing slightly heavier, as if suppressing something.

Guo Jia: "Jia is very hungry." He drank only a few bites of food in the Yucui Building.

Xun Yu went to the kitchen to have a look, heated up some food, and served it to Guo Jia on a lacquer plate.A bowl of wild ginseng pigeon soup, a few sheets of mustard cakes, a plate of stewed tofu with wormwood, a plate of candied plums, and a pot of apricot blossom spring wine.

Guo Jia pushed the pigeon soup in front of Xun Yu, set up chopsticks (chopsticks) and wine vessels for him, and then began to eat.

Xun Yu just watched him eat without moving his chopsticks.

Guo Jia: "Not to your liking? What do you want to eat?"

Xun Yu's eyes darkened: "I want to eat..." Feng Xiao.
