Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

Before he knew it, the east gradually turned white, and Guo Jia fell into a deep sleep.

Xun Yu got up lightly, first bent down on the edge of the couch, and looked at Guo Jia's slender neck. The mark he left was not broken or bloody, but it didn't fade away, and it still had a faint Xiang concubine color (pink).

With the intention of letting Guo Jia sleep for a while, Xun Yu picked up his dark clothes, put them on casually, took a volume of "Han Shi Yi Zhuan", and sat in front of the window to read.

Guo Jia is a lover of books, and when he was pressed on the desk last night, his first reaction was to move the silk scroll farther away.

So much so that now Xun Yu looked at the serious Yi Chuan, but from time to time, some charming scenes flashed before his eyes.This is really a bit disrespectful to the sages, Xun Yu put down the scroll and pressed his finger between his eyebrows, as if to expel those thoughts.

He became more and more greedy. He used to say a few more words and spend more time with him, and he was very happy.Occasionally, when Guo Jia touches him and wears his clothes, he will secretly feel a little satisfaction.Nowadays, I always wonder who stole the time, as if I was lying on the same couch with Guo Jia just now, and it was dawn again?

Tao Qian asked Chen Gong, a famous scholar in Dongjun County, to be a lobbyist, and insisted that Cao De's death was due to the lack of quality of Tao Qian's subordinates, who murdered for money and had nothing to do with him.

For this reason, it is impossible to convince Cao Cao.What's more, the murderer Zhang Kai, whose head was beheaded by Tao Qian, and his mouth was closed forever, is a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it.

It is said that Cao Song uttered cruel words on the sickbed, and if Tao Qian's head was not seen, he would die with regret.

Thus, Yanzhou and Xuzhou officially went to war.

This time, even Yuan Shao felt wronged by his younger brother Cao Cao, and sent three battalions of soldiers to help.Of course, it is more likely that Cao Cao won too well in beating Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao was already afraid and sent someone to monitor him.

Except for the generals who followed Xi Fen to suppress the rebels and bandits in Yingchuan, and Xiahou Dun who had been staying in Puyang, all the other generals and all the troops were dispatched.Yanzhou's military strength was unprecedentedly empty.

All the way, the spring breeze is warm and the sun is shining, and the apricot blossoms are ten miles away. If you don't look at Cao Cao's mourning clothes, the scenery is still very pleasant.When the younger brother who was a concubine in the family died, the elder brother had to be in mourning for three months, but he did not need to wear mourning.

The battle was also very smooth. Cao Cao took ten cities in a row without encountering any decent resistance.

As early as ten days ago, the streets and alleys of these small counties were full of rumors.Almost every living person has heard of it: Tao Qian invaded Yanzhou, plundered Rencheng with rebels who claimed to be the emperor, and sent people to attack Cao Cao's father Cao Song.

Then, on a quiet night, many people in Xuzhou heard the sound of thunder. Several red sky fires pierced the dark night sky and fell like meteors into the city where they lived.

People in Xuzhou, who were in panic, asked Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits and monks to pray for blessings.

However, to no avail.For three consecutive days, every night was such a terrifying and strange scene.And the sound of sky thunder became louder and louder, and there were more and more red sky fires, and the falling position was getting closer and closer to the buildings. On the third night, one or two houses were hit by sky fires, and blazing flames were ignited, but there was no fire. People dare to fight the fire.

In fact, when the fireworks fell, they were basically extinguished, and the house was artificially lit.

There are rumors that: This is Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's misbehavior, which has attracted heaven's punishment.

On the fourth day, when the night was about to fall and people were panicking, the famous Mr. Zuo Xianweng and Mr. Wujiao entered the city gracefully singing songs that no one could understand.

As the old Taoist climbed higher and higher, his stooped back gradually became tall and straight, and his appearance became younger. When he stood on the highest point, he had turned into a middle-aged Taoist with a clear appearance.

After a while, a stream of red light just flew up in the sky, Immediately Zuo Xianweng held a mahogany sword, pointed at the sky, and shouted loudly: "Go!"

The thunder stopped like this, and the red streamer gradually dissipated in the air.

The people of Xuzhou knelt down and begged Mr. Wujiao to stay in Xuzhou and bless them.

Mr. Wujiao was very embarrassed, saying that he had an appointment with the old fairy Nanhua to play chess, so he could not stay in Xuzhou, but he could teach the people of Xuzhou a way to avoid the punishment of heaven: worship Cao Cao's portrait, you must be sincere, Cao Shijun is the king of heaven The stars descend to earth, and the portraits can ward off disasters.

The people in Xuzhou were dubious, but after worshiping, the fire did not fall from the sky.

Therefore, when Cao Cao came to Xuzhou with bitter hatred, there were county magistrates everywhere who surrendered as soon as they saw his banner.The people of Xuzhou went out of the city to meet him carrying clear water and food, not only sending things, but also bowing to him.

In fact, Cao Cao had a plan to massacre the city and establish his prestige. He came to avenge the murder of his younger brother. He wished that Xuzhou would be leveled, so that everyone in the world would be afraid of him and dare not embarrass his people again.But facing such enthusiastic Xuzhou people, the order to massacre the city could not be uttered at all.

Mounting his horse again, Cao Cao pretended to be vicious: "I just want to slaughter the city, to deter old Tao Qian."

Dressed in plain clothes, Guo Jia walked alongside Cao Cao and said calmly, "It's easy to slaughter the city, but what about the reputation of the lord? In the future, where the lord's troops will attack, the people will be slaughtered after the city is destroyed. If everyone is desperately defending the city, wouldn't it be a hundred times more difficult for major events?"

Cao Cao: "If the city is not slaughtered, these people will surrender first and then rebel, and they will threaten our army's food supply."

Guo Jia: "Please leave it to Jia to appease the people of Xuzhou. Jia is willing to issue a military order."

In the official history, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou three times, and the first time he won more than a dozen cities without much time.The second time, Cao Cao engaged in a massacre while fighting, and when he reached Tancheng, the people of Xuzhou were terrified by him. Everyone hated him and defended Xuzhou desperately.Then, Cao Cao's lair caught fire, and Yanzhou almost let Lu Bu take the pot away, and was forced to withdraw his troops.

The real ability of Xuzhou people to defend the city is actually very average. When Lu Bu and Liu Bei were fighting with tigers and wolves, the city often changed hands in just a few days.Only in the face of Cao Cao, who was killing people like hemp in Xuzhou, can these people break out their powerful fighting power. In other words, they were scared of being slaughtered. Driven by hatred and desire to survive, they went beyond the limit and built the city wall with flesh and blood. .

Therefore, Cao Cao's third attack on Xuzhou was still extremely difficult. He attacked for several months, and finally captured Lu Bu alive after flooding the Pi.

Analyzing it this way, it is indeed a bad idea to massacre the city and establish its prestige.

However, Cao Cao's concerns are also justified. Most of these people are family members of Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian's command. They are indeed easily incited, and they may even spontaneously organize armed forces to resist Cao Cao.

Fortunately, Guo Jia has been preparing for a long time. The public opinion in these cities is basically controlled by him. Every time a county is conquered, he will send troops to control important places such as city gates and government offices. Tax three, land reclamation tax exemption for three years...

Tao Qian retreated to the city of Shan, but could not hold out in the city, and sent people everywhere to ask for help.

As the counties and counties along the way surrendered one after another, there were almost no cities to hold back Cao Jun's footsteps. It took Cao Cao just over half a month to reach Shan City.

The Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian's command are worthy of being a well-known elite force of the Han Dynasty. Although affected by the rumors, their morale was a little low, but they were only defending the city, and Cao Cao couldn't attack it for a while.

Cao Cao sent Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Zhao Yun and others each to lead an army to attack the counties and counties around Yancheng. When Yancheng is completely isolated, it will naturally be easier to fight.

In Xuzhou, there are many rivers and lakes. The unique white fish, whitebait, and white shrimp in the waters of Zhenhu Lake make Guo Jia a real treat.But eating fish and shrimp all the time is boring, so someone started hiding in the tent again, using the portable space to start a small stove.

After eating and drinking enough, he took Dian Wei to walk the horse near the camp to eliminate food.

The three-foot-tall ancient city stands in the night, like a prehistoric beast with its teeth and claws, dividing the sky into a huge shadow.Stones, rolling logs and other sharp weapons must be piled up on the city wall, but in this kind of night without light, they are completely invisible. Only the torches in the hands of the sentry soldiers are the most eye-catching, and the dots of fire mark their respective positions.

Tan's city wall is high and strong, and Tao Qian has enough food. If he guards it well, he can persist for several months without any problem.It is said that this is due to Chen Deng's encouragement of farming.Everyone is their own master, after this battle, can they still sit together and eat fish?Chen Deng is not a petty person, so it should be fine?

If you take this city, you will be able to get most of Xuzhou.

Restricted by the height of the city wall, it is difficult to use the trick of setting off fireworks to scare people.After all, it is something that only has visual and auditory effects, so it is best not to appear repeatedly.People in Xuzhou feel scared when they watch the unknown things once or twice, but they will get used to it after watching it too much, and watch it as lively.

The terrain of Xuzhou is really low and the floods are serious, so the immoral strategy of flooding is actually also applicable to Tancheng.

But Guo Jia didn't say anything. If he had enough time and food, he didn't want to use this method of killing people and causing endless disasters to seize a city.For a very prosperous city, if you take a dip in the water, all the indicators will be destroyed into negative numbers, and you won't be able to recover in two or three years.Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't commit crimes.

At the beginning, Xifan was flooded in a small town that was deserted during the war, and Yuan Shu and his army were basically inside.

In history, Xun You and Guo Jia proposed to flood Xiapi, but it was actually a very helpless choice, because Yuan Shao had already pushed Gongsun Zan into a desperate situation at that time, and Cao Cao had no time to continue spending time with Lu Bu.Cao Cao's real opponent is Yuan Shao. With his strength, he must race against time to get the upper hand.

Cao Cao didn't slaughter the city this time, and even rewarded the officials who surrendered one by one, so Tao Qian's side is not that the army and the people are united in the same hatred.

After a few days of stalemate between the two sides, some speculators came to contact Cao Cao.It was agreed to raise the fire as a signal to open the city gate for Cao Cao.

When the man left, Cao Cao asked, "What do you think of Feng Xiao?"

Guo Jia: "This person has inquired clearly about the benefits he can get after surrendering, and what kind of official he can be. Can count on one or two."

Light clouds half-covered the moon, and sporadic fires flickered above the city. Cao Cao personally led his troops to ambush, and the agreed time had passed, but the agreed fire signal never appeared.He remembered Guo Jia's words, and guessed that something had changed.

In the early morning of the next day, a few miserable human heads hung high on the city gate of Tancheng. The distance was too far to see the facial features clearly, but the spies in the city sent back news: Tao Qian captured a man who wanted to have an affair. The school captain of the foreign enemy's city gate beheaded his whole family for public display.

At this time, several small counties around Tancheng were occupied by Zhao Yun, Cao Hong, Yu Jin and others.Cao Jun's siege equipment was also built, including rush cars, well rails, and siege vehicles.

Cao Cao first sent Xiangyong to attack the city tentatively, and continued the attack intermittently for five or six days. The stones, rolling logs, and kerosene on the city were almost consumed. .

The people of Tancheng heard that Cao Cao's government received little food and wanted to surrender. They were not very active in defending the city and were forcibly confiscated on the city wall. At this time, facing Cao's soldiers, they broke up directly.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Tao Qian led his Danyang soldiers out of the city and headed straight for Xiapi.He left in a hurry, and many of his staff did not bring them, including Chen Qun and his son.

When Guo Jia heard that Chen Qun lived here, he felt that his hometown was in chaos due to war, and there were few old friends.

In the small house with two entrances, a pear tree is half withered, and the chaotic snow-white falling flowers are dotted with moss on the stone steps, and the spring is cold and damp.

Long time no see, Chen Qun became thinner and taller. He burned paper and bamboo slips in the yard, and threw the rolls into the charcoal basin.

Guo Jia: "Writing waste so much paper?"

Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, and stared: "This is the manuscript I am writing. It is expected that in a chaotic world, there is no Bole, so it is better to burn it." Actually, he didn't want to burn this volume, but when he saw Guo Jia suddenly, he threw it wrong, and his heart ached. But what has been thrown into the charcoal basin, can it still be picked up?

"It's not easy to write so many words, it's a pity to burn them."

Guo Jia hated burning books the most, so he rushed forward and snatched the bamboo slips from the charcoal basin, threw them on the ground, ignoring the burning of his hands, stepped on them a few times, and put out the small flames, only then did he realize that there was a small piece of burn on his right hand. , a little painful, and a little hot, he asked Chen Qun: "Is there any cold water? It needs to be clean."

Chen Qun was taken aback by Guo Jia's courage to take the book out of the fire. It was strange that the prodigal son regretted his pen and ink?He lifted the lid of the tank and scooped up a ladle of cold water.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand: "Help Jia wash it." It is said that the first step to deal with a burn that has not broken the skin is to rinse it with cold water, and after that... I don't remember it at all.The burn was not serious, so he didn't care too much. He changed his left hand, picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and looked at it: Ninth-rank official human law.

Guo Jia almost swears, isn't this the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of "the upper rank has no poor family, and the lower rank has no noble family"?How cheap is he, to rescue this thing from the fire?

"Well, Chen Changwen, do you mind if Jia throws the charcoal basin again?"

Chen Qun: Sure enough, it is the most hated Guo Fengxiao, not one of them.

Cao Cao marched eastward, intending to pursue Tao Qian. The army was still a hundred miles away from Xiapi City, and encountered a motley army blocking the way. Among them were [-] well-equipped Youzhou cavalry, [-] Danyang soldiers, and several thousand unarmed soldiers. refugees.There are Hu people, Qiang people, Shanyue people, and Han people.

This strange combination was defeated by a wave of Cao Jun's charge, but "when the big waves wash the sand, you will see gold." Among the chaotic rout, two low-ranking young generals were obviously superior in martial arts.

Especially the one on the right, wearing a green brocade war robe and a green scarf, with a long red face, phoenix eyes, and a beautiful beard, riding a bay red horse. Qu Hu blazed a path for the coach and sped away towards the distance.

Guo Jia: Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!Finally saw the three brothers alive, excited.
