Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

Although Cao Cao concealed it very well and seemed to trust Guo Jia with all his heart, Guo Jia still detected a trace of deep hidden defense through his subconscious gesture of folding his arms.

As soon as Guo Jia thought about it, he already guessed what the lord was afraid of.

The battle of Wancheng exposed his prestige in the army and his uncontrollable side.Cao Cao has always regarded him as a sharp sword in his hand, and suddenly found that this sword can sometimes make its own decisions, it is not so easy to control, and it is normal to be sensitive for a while.

Of course, they are not only the lord and his staff, but also friends.

Guo Jia played with the golden tiger-shaped bronze soldier talisman, and said with a little regret, "So it's not gold."

Cao Cao probed: "Let the craftsman make another gold piece for Feng Xiao?"

The tiger-shaped soldier talisman, also known as the tiger talisman, is divided into two from the middle, the left half is held by senior generals, and the right half is kept by Cao Cao.Only when the two halves of the tiger meet the two become one can troops be deployed.

Guo Jia was calm and lazily leaning on the table: "Ahem, if I really want to exchange it for gold, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it for three days, so Jia will take it and exchange it for fine wine. I'll drink it up when I'm drunk."

Let him interrupt like this, the doubts in Cao Cao's heart disappeared immediately, and he was a little dumbfounded.If others get this Tiger Talisman, they will be relied on, trusted, and gain military power, they will be moved.However, the prodigal son looked unfazed, and it was very likely that he had seriously considered: If the tiger talisman was pure gold, how much wine would he be able to exchange for it in a wine shop?

Guo Jia's cough was severe, and the military doctor advised him to avoid alcohol.Cao Cao confiscated the wine given by Zhang Xiu and ordered not to bring the wine into Guo Jia's camp.Xi Yan confiscated his purse, euphemistically calling it "to prevent Feng Xiao from buying wine secretly."

All the gentlemen came to visit the sick one after another, and when they called "Guo Jijiu", they inevitably thought of the homonym of "Jijiu" as "Jijiu", and couldn't help showing a bit of playfulness.

On the first day of Guo Jia's recuperation, dealing with people was more tiring than dealing with official duties.The key is that someone is always watching, and there is no chance to steal some wine from the portable space quietly.

At noon the next day, Xi Fan and the military doctor walked into the tent together, and with a soft sound, a bowl of steaming soup was placed on the small bamboo table by Xi Fan.

Xi Yan: "Just sleep peacefully, I have greeted you all, and no one will disturb Feng Xiao's rest."

Guo Jia was indeed sleepy, drowsy and drowsy.He loosened his hair, took off his coat, and climbed onto the couch.

Xi Yan helped him find a cushion, pulled the brocade quilt to cover his waist, and brought the soup to him: "Take the medicine."

"It's bitter in the first place, but it's even more bitter if you drink it every sip." Guo Jia didn't mess around, and refused to give Xi Yan the medicine with a small spoon.He is no longer the former prodigal son who just wanted to live a carefree life. It doesn't matter if one day is added or one day is missing.He hoped that it would last longer and that he and Xun Yu would be "inseparable with each other".

Xi Yan peeled off a piece of candy, handed it to Guo Jia, looked at his slightly slender cheeks, and sighed softly: "Wen Ruo, please let Gongda (Xun You) and I take care of you, you are sick. If this is the case, how do we explain it to him?"

Guo Jia changed the topic: "Zhang Xiu hasn't surrendered for a long time. It should be that Liu Biao's reinforcements have arrived, and Jia Xu is not here. He doesn't know what to do. Why don't you release Jia Xu and give him an idea." I can still speak normally, the original clear voice is slightly hoarse, but it still sounds good.

Jia Xu was very annoyed at Liu Biao in Jingzhou's act of sitting back and watching Zhang Xiu fall into trouble before sending reinforcements.

Xi Yan: You don't let him go sooner or later, but at this time you send Jia Xu to Zhang Xiu's side. Are you sincerely making things difficult for Liu Biao?

Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County. If Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao, it would be tantamount to exposing the gate of Jingzhou to Cao Jun.Liu Biao had no choice but to send troops to aid Zhang Xiu with Cai Mao as his commander.

I heard that Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, killed Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin, severely injured Cao Cao's general Xu Chu, and even Cao Cao himself and his eldest son Cao Ang almost died. : It is impossible for Zhang Xiu to defect to anyone and then defect to Cao Cao.

Cai Mao sent envoys to contact Zhang Xiu, and planned to join forces to recapture Wancheng. Zhang Xiu, who was at the end of the road, could only rely on Jingzhou to supply food and grass in the future, and he would definitely become the best guard dog in Jingzhou.

However, news soon came that Jia Xu beheaded Jingzhou's envoy with a sword and Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cai Hao was completely confused. He stationed troops in Wuyin County, Nanyang County, and escorted the grain and grass for relief Zhang Xiu. In order to help Zhang Xiu break through, he came forward to be hostile to Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu actually surrendered directly?

A bigger mental blow is yet to come, and the good show has just begun.

Cao Cao personally paid homage to the fallen soldiers on the banks of the Feishui River to boost morale, and sent Yu Jin as the vanguard to meet the Jingzhou army.Yu Jin defeated Cai Mao's vanguard at Huyang and captured Jingzhou general Deng Ji.Cao Cao's army went straight to Wuyin and defeated Cai Mao.

The food and grass that Cai Mao transported all the way to rescue his ally Zhang Xiu was snatched by Zhang Xiu's troops who had joined the hostile camp, and also plundered a batch of supplies.Cai Mao lost his troops and lost his generals. He was almost depressed and retreated to Xiangyang City.

In fact, before meeting Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu was more inclined to rely on Liu Biao, but Jia Xu persuaded him that Liu Biao was just a panelist, and Cao Cao was the one who could achieve dominance. Even if he took refuge in Liu Biao, Cao Cao would still have to attack Jingzhou in the future Surrender Cao.

Surrendering Cao has three advantages: First, surrendering to the imperial court is justified.Second, Cao Cao has few soldiers, so he will definitely be reused.Third, Cao Cao has great ambitions. Not only will he not wait for opportunities to retaliate, but he will also reward his enemies and show his breadth of mind.

As the saying goes, "When two armies are at war, don't behead the envoy." Jia Xu deliberately beheaded the Jingzhou envoy to show that he would never take refuge in Liu Biao.

Cao Cao was very satisfied. He appointed Jia Xu as the executive Jinwu, participated in the air force, and made the capital Tinghou, with two hundred households in the city.Biao Zhangxiu was General Yangwu, granted the title of Marquis of Xuanwei, and had thousands of households in Shiyi.

All civil servants and military generals were rewarded, among them Yu Jinlei was granted the title of Marquis of Yishouting, with two hundred households in Shiyi.

Zhao Yun was left to garrison Wancheng, and Cao Cao returned to Xudu.

There were still ten miles away from Xudu, and suddenly they heard the sound of drums and music. Officials headed by Dong Cheng lined up on both sides of the road sporadically, and greeted Cao Cao with grand etiquette.

This is the order of the emperor Liu Xie. He wants all officials to know that Cao Cao is overbearing and has the heart of disobedience.

Xun Yu dissuaded most of the officials, so only Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and other diehard Luoyang officials, the newcomer Kong Rong, and a few servants around the emperor staged a farce here, and other officials stayed in Xudu to handle official duties. , did not come to this muddy water at all.

Dong Cheng suspected that there were too few people and the momentum was not strong enough, so he even brought in a lot of gentry from Dudu to make up the numbers.

Guo Jia was in an embarrassment like never before. His illness came and went and he never recovered. Cao Cao invited him to ride with him as usual.So when Dong Cheng finished kneeling and prostrating, and a servant bowed forward and opened the curtain for Cao Cao, everyone was shocked to find that there was more than one person in the car, and Guo Jia was beside Cao Cao.

Behind Dong Cheng, everyone's eyes were on Guo Jia.The young man with clear eyes and delicate eyes, his hair crown was slightly askew, a few strands of black hair leaked out, a few folds appeared on his official uniform, and his legs were still covered with a blanket, as if he sat up after lying down in the car.

Under the gazes of everyone who looked at him with disdain, amusement, inquiry, or admiration, Guo Jia was frank and composed, even with the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a light and casual smile as clear as the breeze and the moon.

Cao Cao jumped off the carriage, ignored the officials who came to make troubles, got on his horse, and went straight to Xudu Palace.

The faint scent of medicine disperses with the wind, but the attendant is still holding the curtain in a daze.

Guo Jia was blown by the cold wind, and his face flushed from coughing again.He lightly tapped the waiting hand with a folding fan, and jokingly said: "Excuse me, please step aside, Jia would not stay if it wasn't for a beautiful woman to invite you through the curtain."

What nonsense is this!It sounds like molesting a girl in a brothel.

The little emperor Liu Xie wanted to guide the public officials to impeach Cao Cao for usurping power, but it turned out to be counterproductive. The civil and military officials all focused their attention. They were even more curious about the relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Cao.

Riding together and sitting on the same seat, is it really just a corporal of courtesy?

Guo Jia: Shot while lying down again...

Kong Rong is a direct descendant of Confucius, a great Confucianist in the world, who valued etiquette the most. Guo Jia's behavior, in Kong Rong's eyes, is a contempt for etiquette, disheveled clothes, and flirting in public.After just one meeting, Kong Rong's impression of Guo Jia was extremely bad.

Moreover, academically, they are also on opposite sides.

It is said that Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, causing many scriptures to be lost.In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the government asked the elders to dictate scriptures, and recorded "Book of Rites", "Shangshu", "The Analects of Confucius", "Spring and Autumn Annals" and other books in official script, called "Jinwen".

Later, when King Gong of Lu expanded his palace and demolished the former residence of Confucius, he found ancient books such as "Book of Rites", "Shangshu", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Spring and Autumn" from the walls, all of which were written in ancient script (big seal script). ".

As a result, Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty were divided into two schools, and the dispute between modern and ancient Confucian classics lasted for nearly 300 years.

Kong Rong, Guozhang Fuwan and others belonged to the Jinwen school, while ancient Chinese classics prevailed in Yingchuan private school, and among Cao Cao's staff, there were many Yingchuan scholars.The teachers and elders of Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others basically belonged to the ancient literature school.Xun Yu's sixth uncle, Xun Shuang, wrote annotations for "Book of Changes" and was one of the representatives of the ancient school of prose.

During the days when Cao Cao was not in Xudu, there was already a lot of quarrel in the court.The reason is that when Xun Yu accompanied the driver, he explained a piece of "Shangshu" to the little emperor Liu Xie, which happened to be the content that does not exist in the current "Shangshu".Obviously, it is an extra chapter in the ancient "Shangshu".

Unfortunately, Kong Rong found out about this.He declared war on Xun Yu directly during the court meeting, and demanded that famous Confucians from all over the world gather in Xudu to teach Liu Xie Confucian classics and sort out ancient books.Kong Rong made a list, and more than [-]% of them were scholars of the Jinwen School, and none of them were from the Ancient Wen School.

Therefore, the dispute between modern and ancient Confucian classics initiated by Kong Rong is no longer a pure academic exploration, but an attempt to use the power of the Jinwen School to suppress Cao Cao's staff.

Don't underestimate academic disputes. The loser will get out of the court if he is unlucky.

Xun Yu didn't quarrel in his spare time, but when it came to academic issues, he had to argue.As more and more officials got involved in the dispute over ancient and modern classics, they each formed cliques, and every court meeting was a fierce debate.

God is pitiful, Xun Yu explained the Shangshu to Liu Xie, just to let the little emperor get acquainted with the ways of emperors.However, Kong Rong made use of the topic, triggering a new round of disputes between modern and ancient prose in the imperial court.

For the first time, Guo Jia was annoyed that he couldn't go to court, and he couldn't see Xun Yu's elegant demeanor of citing scriptures, witty remarks, fighting with Confucians, and fighting against Kong Rong.

Unexpectedly, Kong Rong didn't argue with Xun Yu during the court meeting, but actually blocked the door on the holiday and continued to challenge.

Guo Jiazheng, with disheveled hair, was relying on Xun Yu to feed him medicine, lying half-sitting as if he had no bones, reminiscent of a sick Xi Shi.The bitter decoction gradually returned to sweetness between the lingering lips and teeth, but was suddenly interrupted by Kong Rong, very upset.

Kong Rong couldn't win the debate, so he turned into a personal attack, satirizing Xun Yu for assisting the powerful officials and oppressing the young master.

Before the words were finished, Guo Jia stepped into the hall and made an impeccably elegant salute: "Kong Wenju (Kong Rong), the twentieth grandson of Confucius?"

Kong Rong: "Exactly."

Guo Jia's thin lips curled up in a contemptuous arc: "In the past, the Emperor Zhou was still alive. Confucius (named Qiu of Confucius) lobbied the six countries for fame and fortune. Does he have Emperor Zhou in his eyes? If you follow your standard, you don't assist the royal family. Even if you are a traitor, Kong Qiu was the Duke of Lu and served as a retainer to a high-ranking official in Qi, so he is nothing more than a traitor."

Kong Rong was so angry that his beard trembled and he almost fainted. He slammed his cane on the floor: "You Lizi, how dare you slander the saint like this! You, you..." Guo Jia was telling the truth. Confucius lobbied the six kingdoms and the world Scholar all know, irrefutable.

Guo Jia calmly said, "What are you, where were you when Dong Zhuo rebelled? Where were you when the two capitals were in trouble? The emperor returned to the east and had no food to eat. Where were you? Bing, it is Wen Ruo and his colleagues who assisted Cao Gong to welcome the emperor and restore the ancestral temple and the country. You were beaten by the thieves and abandoned your wife and children. You fled to Xudu and lost the face of the court. Now you jump out and pretend to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Who will give you His face said Wen Ruo..."

Standing side by side with Guo Jia, Xun Yu squeezed Guo Jia's hand under the cover of the big sleeves of his toga, and signaled him to let Kong Rong go, and don't get angry with the saint.

In fact, although Kong Rong is proud of his talents, he has a long history of education, is upright, and pays attention to teaching. He is a top literati and poet in the world, but he is neglected in government affairs.
