Cao Cao's special car is a luxury open-top car with four horses, red lacquered wheels, bear-patterned crossbars, a golden bell hanging on it, and a golden axe. This golden axe symbolizes the power of life and death, that is to say, Cao Cao has the right to Determine the life and death of the general in the army.

Sitting next to Cao Cao, Chen Deng watched the bustling streets of Xudu with people coming and going, and his heart gradually became shaken.

Guangling County in Xuzhou had been destroyed by the flames of war. In Xiapi City under Liu Bei's rule, the people reduced their clothing and went on a diet to support Liu Bei's army. It was miserable.The benevolence and righteousness of the mouth cannot save the people of Xuzhou.Xu County in Yingchuan County, which also experienced wars, had only been attached to Cao Cao for a few months, and it had such a prosperous scene. The trip to Xudu allowed Chen Deng to see the hope of calming down this troubled world from Cao Cao.

The next day, Cao Cao had something to do, mainly because in the past few days, there were too many officials who impeached Guo Jia for violating the prohibition order. I don’t know why, but several of the memorials that should have been sent to Shangshutai were sent to Cao Cao. Cao Cao Annoyed, it happened that this year's grain harvest was bumper, so he ordered the lifting of the prohibition on alcohol.

Guo Jia was ordered to take Xuzhou envoys to visit Xudu.

It is said that in the time of Yao, Xu You, a senior official, farmed here.Knowing his virtuousness, Yao wanted to give him the position of co-lord of the world, but Xu You sternly refused, and washed his ears on the shore of Yingshui, so the place was named "Xu".

Guo Jia first asked Chen Deng to go to the barracks outside the city to watch the soldiers practice in the morning.

Guo Jia, who was always fooling around, became serious the moment he entered the barracks.

In the morning wind, under the rising sun, the soldiers of Cao Ying are practicing battle formation.Tens of thousands of people advanced and retreated in unison, shouting in unison, and the sound of mountains and tsunami pierced the sky, shaking Chen Deng's ears, and the chilling aura of a veteran of hundreds of battles filled the universe.

Chen Deng's pupils shrank slightly. When these soldiers advanced, they actually stepped forward with their left legs first. During the march, the formation was still neat, just like instinct.No wonder Cao Bing was almost invincible.

It is said that this is Guo Jia's method of training soldiers.Chen Deng: "Feng Xiao, why can't there be a civilian husband in the barracks?"

Guo Jia: "Recruiting peasants will affect the spring plowing and autumn harvest, and they are not suitable for the battlefield. Under the Lord's rule, the peasants are responsible for farming, occasionally assisting in the defense of the city, and do not participate in the conquest. The logistics personnel of our army have been trained for more than half a year and can bear heavy loads. Thirty catties of soldiers who can run thirty miles without falling behind, including cooks."

When Chen Deng thought of those peasants under Liu Bei who were going to die in front of the two armies, the balance in his heart tilted a little more towards Cao Cao.In large-scale corps battles, the general's personal martial arts can't decide the outcome at all.The overall strength is strong, it is really strong.

Next, visit Guozixue.Cao Cao originally planned to let Guo Jia serve as Guozixue Jijiu (principal of Guozixue) at the same time. Guo Jia thought that he was not the material to be a teacher. He was afraid of misleading his children, so he declined. Liquor.Xun Yue was still on his way to Xudu, so this matter was put on hold for now.

Xun Yu is going to visit Master Han today, maybe he will meet him?

Guo Jia asked Chen Deng to change his official uniform and pretend to be an ordinary scholar.

As a government-run college of higher learning, the gate of Guozixue is as high as a tower, almost covering the sun in the sky.

Inside, there is a mansion at five feet, and a pavilion at ten feet. The palaces and pavilions are uneven, shaded by flowers and trees.The environment is beautiful, quite a bit like the shadow of Yingchuan Academy in the past.

There are also student dormitories on the back mountain of the academy. Small courtyards are built along the mountain. There are more than 200 rooms in the east and west, but they don't look messy at all. The overall layout is like a gossip map.

These days, every ten days, there will be a Guozixue autumn admissions exam.It is said that this is to celebrate the establishment of Guozixue and relax the time limit so that people from afar can also have the opportunity to enroll. From next year, only one admissions exam will be held every year, and no waiting will be held after the expiration date.

Thousands of young men gathered in the square outside the gate of Guozixue.Watching the announcement posted on the wooden railing.The enrollment prospectus, examination scope, and admission criteria are all clearly written in the announcement.There would be even more people if not for the fact that each person can only take the entrance exam once every three years.

These teenagers come from all corners of the country, and their family backgrounds are very different from rich to poor. They are of different heights, short, fat, and thin.A few teenagers squeezed in the front row read the enrollment brochure slowly with a strange accent, which sounded a little funny.

Guo Jia: It seems that it is necessary to discuss with Han Fuzi and open another class, which is dedicated to teaching people to speak Luoyang elegant dialect, promoting contemporary Mandarin, and correcting accents.

He didn't wear an official uniform today, he was dressed in the simplest style of scholar's Tsing Yi, holding a folding fan, mixed with Chen Deng among a group of teenagers, and walked into the academy with the flow of people.If Guo Jia had to describe the feeling of stepping into the academy again, there is only one word: squeeze.

It is very crowded, bustling, shoulder to shoulder, there is an unlucky guy whose shoe was stepped on by others, but he can only go farther and farther along the flow of people, even if he wants to retrieve the shoe.

Guo Jia and Chen Deng walked across the front yard, away from the admissions and registration office, and at the same time let out a sigh of relief, finally there was no need to be crowded.

Perhaps it is the exaggeration of the fragrance of calligraphy and ink, in which every plant and tree is full of tranquility and elegance.

With the Guozixue Lecture Hall as the center, the buildings on both sides of the central axis are symmetrical. There are more than [-] study halls in total, and there is a striking text on the wall of the main hall of each palace.

Wenhua Hall: establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.

Pantheon: Heaven is healthy, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement; the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue.

Zangshuge: The sea is tolerant to all rivers, and tolerance is great.

……

In the Mingjing hall, more than a dozen teenagers sat on both sides, arguing endlessly about which is more reasonable, "complaining with virtue" in "Laozi" or "repaying grievances with straightness and rewarding virtue with virtue" in "The Analects".The debate quickly escalated to the differences between Taoism and Confucianism, and two young men unexpectedly fought on the spot, punching to the flesh.

Guo Jia squinted and smiled: "The eloquence in debate is not very good, and the ability to do things is also an advantage. Anyway, I don't suffer from fighting. It's nice to be young."

He stood outside the window watching for a while, and suddenly heard a faint singing.

When I traveled to the East Gate, I met Cheng Qingchen.

Sijun is a secluded room, serving the bedroom and holding the clothes and towels.

When there is no mulberry contract, force this roadside person.

I not only flatter the gentleman, but the gentleman also pleases my face.

Why do you punch?The twin golden rings on the arms...

Guo Jia: Who is so unreliable?Isn't it afraid of spoiling the teenagers to sing this kind of love poem about private meetings between men and women in the academy?However, there are many similar contents in "Three Hundred Poems". Children at the age of five or six begin to recite poems when they are enlightened.These days, it's not uncommon for people to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, regardless of who they are.

Guo Jia dragged Chen Deng to find the source of the singing.

Seeing Master Han and the thick and long wooden stick in Master's hand from a distance, Guo Jia paused, subconsciously trying to escape.

Master Han Ping recognized Guo Jia at a glance, and waved at him: "Feng Xiao, come here."

Guo Jia: What day is it today?It was so lively, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Fan, Zhao Yan, Fan Qin, Hu Zhao, and Sima Yi were all there.

He blinked at Xun Yu who was beside Master Han, and slowly stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Han, this is Chen Deng from Xiapi, whose character is Yuanlong, and he is here to visit the academy."

After everyone exchanged greetings, Master Han said to Fanqin who was standing behind him: "Hubo (Fanqin characters), your love poem is very good, why don't you continue singing?"

Poetry was originally meant to be sung.Fanqin is good at writing poems, but his voice is hoarse, and he is too shy to sing in public. Today, Mr. Han drove the ducks to the shelves, but he was embarrassed. As more and more people watched, his fingers began to tremble, and he could not sing a single sentence. not go down.

Fan Qin bit the bullet and took out the poem manuscript, and looked around the crowd: "Is there anyone who is good at singing?"

Master Han grabbed Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao, come here." Don't think about it as a second person.

"Okay, Wen Ruo together." Guo Jia: No matter how many people there are, the old master can always pick me out from the crowd. Can anyone tell me the reason for this?Do you dare to change the coolie?

Xun Yu was called on, and he stepped forward in a gentle manner, and borrowed a lyre from a young boy who was watching.

It's just the most common, undecorated qin. In Xun Yu's hands, after trial and tuning, it produced a beautiful qin sound that could wash away the heart.

Amidst the melodious sound, Guo Jia strolled in the courtyard, stroked his folding fan, and sang Fanqin's "Poetry of Destiny of Love".

Why be courteous?About a pair of silver.

Why is it so mere?Double pearls in the ears.

Why knock knock?The sachet is tied behind the elbow.

Why is it so broad?Double jump around the wrist.

How to make kindness?Beautiful jade decorated with Luo Ying.

Why knot the center?Plain strands with double needles.

Why do we get along with each other?Jin Bohua scratched his head.

Why do you feel goodbye to leave?Tortoiseshell hairpin behind the ear.

Why answer Huanxin?Wansu three skirts.

Why end sorrow?White silk double coat.

……

Guo Jia's singing, just like him, can always easily touch the heartstrings.Xun Yu plucked the last note on the strings, as if he heard the voice from the soul.Who said Xun Lingjun was selfless?In the Shangshutai, his desk was full of memorials to impeach Guo Jia, but none of them were submitted.After about mid-autumn, waste can be used and thrown into a charcoal basin to warm your hands.

In the crowd, the little boy who lent the Suqin to Xun Yu stared at the unparalleled handsome man in front of him, and dared not breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Xun Lingjun.He is 12 years old this year, with distinctive curly long hair. He is from Langya, Xuzhou (later changed to Langya).

In the same exam, Hanoi Sima Yi ranked first.As for Langya Xu Fu, he loves to study and doesn't seek deep understanding, so he entered the school by stepping on the score line.Among the young heroes who passed the exam, Xu Fu ranked first from the bottom, and if he lost one point, he would not be able to enter the gate of Guozixue.

Master Han suddenly asked: "Feng Xiao, the old man found a piece of uncut jade, and I will be your apprentice, how about it?"

Guo Jia: "The person Mr. likes is naturally good." The face of Mr. must be given.

Master Han smiled brightly, and raised his finger to Sima Yi: "That's him, the second son of the Sima family in Hanoi, Kong Ming (Hu Zhao) told me several times that Xiao Yi'er is the most suitable age to enter school, I would like to thank one more gentleman , gain some knowledge."

Sima Yi saluted Guo Jia.

Guo Jia gritted her teeth secretly: "Well, Jia is also very optimistic about Xiao Yi'er. Choose an auspicious day and perform the apprentice ceremony."

Nowadays, it is not easy to travel, the carriage has been speeding for a while, and has to stop for a while to slow down the horsepower.You can't go to many places in one day.In the end, Guo Jia took Chen Deng to Xishi, where he ate kebabs on the overpass and watched the endless stream of pedestrians under the bridge.

In the twilight, traffickers walk and pawns, light and shadow float, and people's voices are boiling.All kinds of smells drift with the wind, including wine, incense, sweat, and rouge.Snacks such as stir-fried chestnuts, roasted squab, pancakes, fish ball soup and other snacks are even more fragrant on the Long Street.

Suddenly, I seem to see the old Luoyang City again.

At this moment, Chen Deng made a decision that made him extremely fortunate in his life: he would help Cao Cao obtain Xuzhou in the name of Han Chen.

That night, Chen Deng and Cao Cao had a secret conversation in the middle of the night, planning to settle all matters in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou, Chen Deng as the prefect of Guangling, Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, the Prime Minister of Pei, had his official position unchanged, his salary doubled, and his rank was two thousand shi.

Liu Bei wanted to be the shepherd of Xuzhou, but Cao Cao refused to let him do so.

It was inconvenient for Chen Deng to stay in Xudu for too long, and the matter was urgent. Before Cao Cao had time to inform the little emperor Liu Xie, he asked Xun Yu to draw up the decree at Shangshutai, stamp it, and hand it to Chen Deng to take away.

Guo Jia used the method of ice making to make two servings of milk and fresh fruit ice cream, and placed them in Chen Deng's carriage together with various snacks as a farewell.

Chen Deng was in a hurry and went ten miles out of the city to find that the two carriages full of seafood and aquatic products when he came here were still full, filled with all kinds of boxes and cages filled with local products from Yingchuan.

The Chen family in Xiapi is the internal response of Cao Ying in Xuzhou. Of course, this matter needs to be kept secret, but the adjustment of the official positions of Liu Bei and Chen Deng's father and son should be reported to the little emperor immediately.

Cao Cao tidied up his appearance and entered the palace to meet Liu Xie.

The palace is deep and the palace is majestic.The crows at Yushitai kept making noises, Cao Cao's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.

Liu Xie invited Cao Cao to visit the imperial garden together. He didn't know what rumors he had heard, and he actually said to Cao Cao: "If Cao Sikong is willing to assist me, he will respect me. If he is not willing, then simply don't let me be the puppet emperor."

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and doubts abounded.

He looked around secretly, and found not far away, there were more than a dozen Habayashi, hiding in the shadow of the palace wall, they couldn't see clearly.The two Habayashi who were closest to him were strong and vigorous, holding iron halberds, their backs were tense, and the veins on the backs of their hands were bulging.

Cao Cao is also a martial arts practitioner, and his martial arts skills are not bad. He can tell at a glance that the two Habayashiro are accumulating strength.Obviously, as long as Liu Xie gives an order, these people will rush up and fight him.

Liu Xie was still walking forward, leading Cao Cao to approach those Habayashiro.The dangers that can be seen have already made Cao Cao frightened, but there may be more frights in places that cannot be seen?

Cao Cao stopped, and tried to use a calm and natural expression to say that he was unwell and asked to leave.After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Xie's reaction, and left Yuyuan quickly.Cao Cao was suspicious at first, but this time, he was even more like a soldier. He walked to the gate of the palace with tense nerves, and the clothes on his back were drenched in cold sweat.

From then on, Cao Cao never dared to meet Liu Xie alone.

Back at Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao issued three orders in a row.

First: Cao Hong takes over all the guards in the palace.

Cao Cao ordered [-] veterans who had followed him for many years, transferred them to the Yulin Army, and put them under the command of Cao Hong.No matter how difficult it is for Liu Xie to mobilize a single soldier.

Second: Appoint Dong Zhao as Fu Jie Ling.

The duty of Fu Jieling is to be in charge of important things such as tiger charms, imperial seals, and talisman festivals. If the emperor wants to issue a government order, he must first find Fu Jieling Dong Zhao and ask him to take out the imperial seal.

Dong Zhao is Cao Cao's confidant.

This means: Liu Xie can't issue any decree in the future, he must have Cao Cao's consent.

Third: Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu, who also serves as a servant, specializes in participating in the ride.

The servants are usually learned people, or the emperor's favorite ministers, who can take turns to accompany them.When the emperor travels, he can also choose a servant to chat with him in the car.

"Specialized to take part in the task", that is to say: from now on, the little emperor Liu Xie cannot choose which servant will accompany him at will. It can only be Xun Yu, and only Xun Yu can be with Liu Xie. Collaborative rides.

Guo Jia: Although I don't know what happened, but once these three orders are issued, Cao Cao will say that he is "serving the emperor to beg for disobedience", and I am afraid that he will be sprayed in the face. "Take the emperor to command the princes" is more or less the same.

For several days in a row, when Xun Yu returned home from work (off work), he would run into a little curly-haired boy, the one who lent him the lyre, whose name seemed to be Xu Fu.

However, the world is so big, even if two people live in Xudu, it is impossible to meet by chance every day.Xu Fu, this child, was waiting for him, but didn't speak?

A few times before, Xun Yu nodded to Xu Fu, but today, he deliberately did not look sideways, and just walked past.

"Xun Lingjun, please wait!"

Xu Fu trotted and caught up from behind.

Xun Yu stopped and turned gracefully: "What's the matter?"

Xu Fu looked at the ground, as if finding a ray of courage from the cracks in the bluestone. He was no longer timid, and looked directly into Xun Yu's eyes: "The students want to worship you as their teacher."

These days, recruiting disciples is not a trivial matter. If the disciples under the sect make any mistakes, the reputation of the master will also be implicated.There may even be difficulties.

But sometimes, as long as you close your eyes, Xun Yu doesn't care so much. In his bones, he is actually a bit open-minded, but he is bound by the rules of the Xun family and hides it.What's more, Xu Fu has clear eyebrows, he should be a good seedling, he still has this vision.

Xun Yu smiled, "Okay."

It sounds good to worship under Xun Lingjun, but it is actually not bad.Xun Yu is very busy and hardly has time to guide his studies, but as long as he has free time, he must be the most patient gentleman.

But most of the time, Xun Lingjun would throw Xu Fu to Guo Jijiu.This Master Jijiu seems to be keen on teasing his disciples.Xu Fu and Sima Yi didn't like each other at first, but they were punished together every day. Brothers and sisters, they also established a little friendship.

Guo Jia: I am too talented to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and bully Sima Yi.

Xu Fu's little curly hair, his words and deeds, seemed to be hiding something.Guo Jia asked the Informant Office to verify his identity.

The latest military report: Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, led the army and entered Qingzhou to attack Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai.

The two sides fought fiercely for several months, and there were only a few hundred soldiers under Kong Rong's command. The soldiers in the city fought hand-to-hand, the street fighting was ineffective, and the arrows were as dense as raindrops.Kong Rong still read books by a few, and talked and laughed freely.That night, the city fell, Kong Rong fled alone, and arrived at Xudu via the Taihang Mountains. His wife and children were captured by Yuan Tan.

Guo Jia: Oh, man.I hate the kind of people who abandon their wives and children at critical moments and only care about their own escape.

Kong Rong is a direct descendant of Confucius and has great influence among Confucian scholars. Cao Cao recruited him as a general and master craftsman.

When the Kwantung heroes attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian was the first to enter Luoyang City. In the ruins of the imperial palace, he found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.Not long ago, Sun Ce took back some of Sun Jian's soldiers from Yuan Shu in exchange for the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and went to Jiangdong to develop with Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce really likes to look in the mirror. When marching and fighting, he also carries a bronze mirror with him. At any time, a man who takes a selfie in the mirror will come and ask if you accept it?

Yuan Shu got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and actually dreamed of being an emperor.He hijacked Chen Deng's younger brother, Chen Ying, and forced Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son to become officials in Huainan, but Chen Gui sternly refused.Yuan Shu and Chen Gui, the young couple, fell out completely.

Nowadays, in Xudu, Luoyang officials seldom speak. Only the newcomer Kong Rong has not been whipped by Cao Cao. Every court meeting, Kong Rong speaks a lot.

Kong Rong had a good friend, surnamed You, surnamed Heng, surnamed Zhengping, who was from Pingyuan County.

By the way, it has been a while since Mi Heng came to Xudu, earlier than Zhao Yan and Fanqin.He prepared a name sticker, the words on it were worn out, and the name sticker has not been sent out yet.Unrecognized talent, full of resentment.

The reason why he couldn't send it out was mainly because he was too talkative, and he would hate whoever he caught.

In Mi Heng's words, in the entire Xudu, there are only "the eldest son Kong Wenju (Kong Rong) and the youngest son Yang Dezu (Yang Xiu)." Those who can catch his eyes, the rest are mediocre and not worth mentioning.

Someone asked him, "How about Xun Wenruo (Xun Yu) and Zhao Zhichang (Zhao Rong)?"

Mi Heng saw that Xun Yu was a handsome man, and Zhao Rong had a big belly, so he said, "Xun Wenruo, you can use his face to mourn the funeral. Zhao Zhichang, you can let him manage the meals in the kitchen."

The implication is that Xun Yu only has a good-looking face, while Zhao Rong is a reckless eater.

Guo Jia: I seem to smell a sour smell. "Xun Wenruo can use his face to pay tribute to the funeral", I will take it as you are praising Wenruo's good looks.After all, a mourner must not only be handsome, but also have an elegant temperament, handsome but not coquettish.

Kong Rong admired Mi Heng's talent very much, and recommended Mi Heng to the little emperor Liu Xie.

"The minister heard the flood, the emperor thought about it, and looked around to recruit talents... Pingyuan Youheng, Shuzhizhenliang, outstanding talents..."

Cao Cao and Liu Xie are competing, and Cao Cao will definitely check the talents recommended to Liu Xie.

Therefore, Cao Cao first summoned Mi Heng.After Mi Heng saluted, Cao Cao didn't ask him to sit down, but left him alone.

Mi Heng looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Although the world is vast, there is no one there!"

Cao Cao: "There are dozens of people under Gu's command, and they are all heroes of the world. How can you say that there is no one?"
