The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

The second year of Emperor Xian Xingping - of course, this is the name of later generations. At that time, people only knew the second year of Xingping, which was 195 AD.A lot of things happened this year, although they were all small things—compared with the big things in the future, they were just as fussy. When Guo Jia recalled this year, she always felt that those things were embodied in her mind as disgusting octopuses. Tentacles, seemingly irrelevant but secretly connected, each with a purpose - and all point to the same result.

At the beginning of this year, Li Jue, Guo Si, and a few masters with names that no one cares about in history together captured the imperial capital of Chang'an, held the emperor hostage, and controlled the government.

Guo Jia knew all these things.Guo Jia also knew that this kind of loose organization was born to disband, and disbanding would be very ugly.

It is not impossible to have an alliance. Although all alliances will eventually disintegrate, all alliances have historical missions. An alliance that completes its mission and then dies is a qualified alliance.What internal conditions must a qualified alliance meet?In fact, it is very simple. It is enough to have a strong core, several powerful flanks, and clear non-negotiable opposites.

Although Yuan Shao's eighteenth princes did not succeed, they still maintained it for a relatively long period of time, because after all, this alliance has a core of the past—Yuan Shao, who has several flanks. Of course, the flanks are powerful. Beyond the core, this is another issue, such as Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Dong Zhuo, the opposite.As for the disintegration of the alliance, Dong Zhuo's death was a big reason. This alliance existed to appeal to Dong. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it can be regarded as the end of the alliance's historical mission, and the disintegration of the alliance is also acceptable.

The alliance between Li Jue and Guo Si can be said to be a joke.First of all, there is no clear core. Li Jue thinks he is very important, Guo Bang thinks so, and even cats and dogs think so.Then it goes without saying that the flanks don't exist at all.As for definite opposites—is there such a thing?

Guo Jia calmly followed all kinds of news from Chang'an, and then drew a line in his mind for the future of the alliance: establish an alliance—invade Chang'an—divide the spoils on the ground—distribute the spoils unevenly, internal strife—death A group of people—infighting, fleeing, and continuing to die—temporary reconciliation—infighting and dead—no one left, the alliance disappeared, and the other princes began a new round of chaos.

As for the facts, it is carried out unhurriedly according to the line drawn by Guo Jia.

At the beginning of the year, when Li Jue and Guo Si captured Chang'an and took charge of the government, they soon began to suspect each other, and conflicts arose over the sphere of influence and official position.A man named Fan Chou went to Li Jue to borrow troops, but Li Jue was afraid of Fan Chou, so he laid his troops in ambush at the reception banquet and killed Fan Chou first.This became the starting point of all conflicts, and everyone began to be suspicious, until everyone felt that the spirit of monitoring the other party every day was about to collapse, and that it was better to come to light than to be dark, so Li Jue and Guo Si formally launched troops to attack each other.

Of course, there was a small gap. Guo Jia’s prediction had nothing to do with the emperor. He thought he was transparent, but the emperor in it couldn’t really do nothing, so the emperor sent his servant and monk Shu to help Li Jue and Guo Si make peace. But the two didn't listen, so Guo Jia's prediction was not affected.The more out-of-the-box behavior was that the next two started to rob the emperor and ministers, and set fire to Luoyang, and the palaces, government offices and private houses were all burned.Afterwards, Li Jue and Guo Si continued to fight until May, killing tens of thousands.Among them, the emperor still did not give up and continued to send people to negotiate peace. From Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Zhang Xi to Pushe Huangfu Li, all failed.This kind of plot reminds Guo Jia of the modern League of Nations and the modern United Nations, and he can't help but lament that the world has not made much progress.

In May, Li Jue asked for the title of Da Sima, and the emperor dared not refuse.Guo Jia sneered when he heard the news. After all, Li Jue was an ignorant layman, and he still cared about such a meaningless official position at this time.However, Guo Jia also knew that Li Jue was conferred this kind of official position, but Guo Si did not object and attack immediately, which shows that the time for reconciliation has come.Sure enough, when Zhang Ji went to talk again in June, Li Jue and Guo Si reconciled.Guo Jia is in favor of Zhang Ji's tongue, and he can persuade two people. Apart from the general situation, there is no doubt that Zhang Ji has come up with a whole set of plans for Li Jue and Guo Si to implement. He is not just reconciling, he is also To deal with the aftermath.However, Zhang Ji’s plan made Guo Jia a little uncomfortable. That plan included the following main contents: 1. The emperor will not return to Luoyang for the time being, nor can he go back. Beiwu cannot live, and it is Li Jue’s territory. Guo Si also disagreed.Then make a compromise and go to Hongnong.Then slowly discuss back to Luoyang. 2. Award Li Jue and Guo Si.Guo Sifeng's chariot and cavalry general led the Sangong, which was considered to be in control of civil power, while Li Jue led the army out of Chiyang, which was considered to be in control of the power of force, and he and Guo Si were also mutually restrictive. 3. Li Jue and Guo Si sent their daughters to each other as hostages.

This plan was expected by Guo Jia, except for the third one, she thought of the Weimar Republic's "120 Days of Sodom".I can't help but sigh again that the entire human world has not made any progress.

In July, the emperor began the difficult journey back east to Luoyang.

It was really difficult, after all, there were no trains at this time, let alone high-speed rail.

The whole world was staring at the emperor who was snatched away like a tattered toy by a few small fights. Guo Jia thought that probably the emperor's authority had come to nothing from this moment on.

What an ironic thing this is, because no one dares to touch something that is thought to be superior because of fear or habit, but a daring person even steps on it and succeeds.Then this thing can never go back to the high position.

The so-called went to the clouds, but don't come down.

Guo Jia thought in boredom: What is Cao Cao doing at this time?

Xun Yu had already left, but occasionally there would be a letter from him, but he didn't say a few words about Cao Cao, always talking about what happened to a certain place, so Guo Jia wrote to laugh at him, saying that Cao Cao really It's Mr. Reuse Drama, you haven't gotten into the inner circle yet, so you can only talk about the periphery.You see, my place is still very good, blabla...

Guo Jia and Xun Yu have never been polite, and they can say whatever they want. She followed Xun Yu's topic to analyze a certain state and county, and she talked happily. She didn't know the first pair of hands that answered each letter. It was never Xun Yu's.

It's Cao Gong's who she doesn't catch a cold at the moment.

If you tell her the truth at this time, she might hit the wall, and don't look at what she wrote at the beginning of the letter, such as "The wages were deducted again and I can't afford to send you a letter. I threatened to deliver the letter today and said no. If you lower the price, tell his wife about him hooking up with Widow Lin" or "Those bastards are getting harder and harder to take care of, you can understand what I'm writing, right? Bring your own translator."

The last time Xun Yu wrote a letter was about the affairs of Youzhou, which dealt with the grievances between Xian Yufu and Gongsun Zan.The latest news is that Gongsun Zan was defeated and retreated to Yi Jing, temporarily becoming a confrontation.

Guo Jia replied very happily, saying, Wen Ruo, you really have the world in your heart. Now that everyone is staring at Hangu Pass, you can still see Youzhou. I am so relieved... Then he changed his pen and said Youzhou It's very important, but it's not because of Youzhou, but because of its close connection with Youzhou - Liaodong.Gongsun Zan or Xianyufu are just minor characters, and I don’t even bother to describe them in space. They will die sooner or later, and after they die, the place will be unified sooner or later. The real trouble is the Gongsun family that has been running Liaodong for a long time.But don’t take it too seriously, sticking to Liaodong without opening up is actually preparing for the future ruler. Wen Ruo, you see that the Gongsun family is very caring. How can we repay them in the future?

After this letter was handed over to Cao Cao again, Cao Cao fell into hesitation after reading it roughly.Xun Yu asked cautiously if he should write another letter to Guo Jia suggesting that he come?Cao Cao didn't speak.

Maybe Cao Cao could see Guo Jia's wishes: he said he was staying in a good place, but his subconscious showed his reluctance to come.Twisted melons are not sweet.Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia was such a casual person, so he always had this unrestricted attitude towards Guo Jia, which was very suitable for Guo Jia.By the way, Xi Zhicai is still very important at this time, and Cao Ying doesn't have to have Guo Jia.

But Cao Cao didn't know another small calculation in Guo Jia's mind: Guo Jia estimated that he would stay here for a while. Luoyang is not far from here. Since the beginning of the year, military disasters have affected here, but the severity is not yet Cool, but everyone can see that there will be a day in the future when this peaceful life will be unbearable, so finding a state-owned enterprise or at least a large private enterprise is the best job choice. In other words, it is inevitable to depend on someone, but she He is not willing to attach himself to Cao Cao.She wanted to defect to other people for the same reason as Zhou Yu. She felt that if she reversed the history she knew about something, it would prove that she was not a person in history, and she would not have to bear the responsibility of that person in history—she gave up looking for With the actions of the "real" Guo Fengxiao, she felt more and more that she might really be that Guo Fengxiao, but she didn't want it to be true at all.

At this time, the audition letter came.

When the sender respectfully presented the envelope with both hands and said it was a letter from "Mr. Shenzheng Nanshen", Guo Jia was still in a daze. She had no impression that she had any dealings with this person.Blinking his eyes and thinking for a long time, Guo Jia remembered that when he was drinking with Guo Tu Xinping, Xin Ping had mentioned the trial and examination of Zhengnan, saying that this person's personality was like an inkstone, cold and hard.Guo Jia was really surprised. She thought that even if there was a letter, it was written by Guo Tu or Xin Ping, but it was this unrelated review.

Guo Jia took the letter and waved his hand casually: "I accept the letter, please return it."

But the person who sent the letter did not leave, and even the respectful expression on his face did not change. He continued: "Mr. has something to say, and we must wait for Mr. Guo to reply before he can reply."

Guo Jia stared at him for a while, then turned back to her room and closed the door.

She opened the envelope and took out the wooden tablet inside. The wooden tablet was tied with three ropes. Guo Jia untied the rope, but did not find any handwriting on the wooden tablet, but found the silk script inside the wooden tablet.

Guo Jia read it openly and found that it was Yuan Shao's notice to recruit wise men.

Guo Jia sat down and thought about it; she stood up and walked a few steps, and continued to think about it; after thinking for an indeterminate amount of time, she walked to the window and found that the messenger was still standing outside respectfully, with no change in his movements. .

Guo Jia made up his mind, immediately packed his luggage, put the silk book in his arms, got up and followed the messenger to Yuan Shao's camp.

Guo Jia went to Yuan Shao's camp for a long time, because Yuan Shao was in Jizhou at this time, which was later Hebei, but Guo Jia was still in Henan Province at this time.

When Guo Jia arrived, it was the day before winter.

She thought she would see the trial match, but she didn't expect that it was not the case. Only a special person came out to receive her. The person had a very plain and simple conversation with Guo Jia, probably because he had done a lot of work, passion or something. It had worn off a long time ago, and he was just doing things numbly and step by step. When he asked if he had any recommendations, the man's eyes shone with anticipation.Guo Jia thought about it and said "no".She was telling the truth, the judge gave her a silk letter, and there were no other letters. Guo Jia chose to come here, and it had nothing to do with the judge. Guo Jia didn't want to involve the judge.It's just that the light in the eyes of the receptionist dimmed again, and he listlessly arranged Guo Jia's board and lodging.

Guo Jia barely lived in the Datong bunk for a few days, and she didn't dare to take a bath, so she looked more and more sloppy.The surrounding people all came to join Yuan Shao after seeing the notice, and they seemed to be scholars, but Guo Jia had never heard of any of them by name, nor did these people know Guo Jia.Guo Jia spent three days watching these people running around creating opportunities to meet Yuan Shao. Some people didn't see them, and after a while someone was politely invited out and never came back again. Guo Jia's face turned cold. down.Three days later, the original reception staff came to call Guo Jia. Guo Jia's not-so-high-end and patched skirt, the messy hair that was tied up with a broken crown, and the slovenliness of not taking a bath for several days made that The man frowned.But the man still tried his best to maintain his professionalism, and cupped his hands: "Hello, sir."

Guo Jia cupped his hands and didn't even bother to say anything.

"Sir, do you want to see my lord?"

"Of course."

"My lord has a lot of business these days, and I don't have time to see my husband. I'm afraid I'll be negligent, and I feel very uneasy. It's okay today, sir, do you mean it?"

Guo Jia originally wanted to say "exactly", but before he could say anything, he saw the other party stretch out his hand and shake it.

Guo Jia understood, but he didn't move, he just looked at the other person without flinching.

The man swayed for a while, seeing that Guo Jia didn't respond, and knowing that Guo Jia would not grant his wish, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment, with a haughty expression on his face: "Since this is the case, our camp is small and small. I don’t dare to keep my master’s talent, sir, please do it!” Then he snorted, turned and left.

Guo Jia also turned around at the same time and walked towards the place where he lived, with a calm face.

She went to pack some luggage.

In fact, that person misunderstood, Guo Jia does not have the so-called unruly emotions of intellectuals at all, Guo Jia really wants to stay here, but she just came here, she is not familiar with the surroundings, she doesn't know how to do it, and when she knows it, she is too lazy to do it .When the man asked for a bribe, Guo Jia really wanted to give it to him. The reason she didn't give it was because she had no money.The other party put on a gesture of asking her to leave, and she prepared to leave without delay, and it was not because of arrogance, it was because she was too lazy to explain something, since it was stipulated to let her go, then go, say a p.

Guo Jia packed her luggage and listened to the people around her talking about "another one". Her heart was very peaceful. The only problem she had a little headache at the moment was that she didn't know where to go, perhaps, begging all the way back to her hometown?She really doesn't feel ashamed of begging, she's just a little worried that she doesn't know how to beg, this job is too high-tech for her, but then she becomes optimistic: won't you learn slowly!

With her luggage on her back, Guo Jia walked towards the gate calmly, but at this moment someone called her from behind: "Fengxiao?"

The voice is not loud, and reveals hesitation.

Guo Jia turned around and saw Xin Ping.

Xin Ping recognized her, and ran up happily: "I don't dare to call out, seeing the king's appearance is just like Fengxiao—as expected! Where did you come from?"

Guo Jia also smiled: "I saw Yuan's announcement, so we agree with each other." She didn't mention the match, because Xin Ping didn't like to match this person, and Guo Jia didn't want to increase the suspicion of this group of people.

"Since we've come to like you, why did you abandon them?" Xin Ping frowned as he saw Guo Jia's attire that was clearly about to leave.

Guo Jia got stuck, how should I say, I can't say "the service attitude of the staff at your reception is too bad and drive me away".Just as he was hesitating, he heard Guo Tu's voice. He was looking for Xin Ping and happened to see Guo Jia.

Anyway, it was a gathering of two or three old friends, Guo Jia was very happy, Guo Tu laughed when he saw Guo Jia's attire: "Your brother must be disturbed by those villains, so don't worry, stay here longer In a few days, I will arrange for my virtuous brother to meet the lord."

"Mr. Guo Fengxiao Guo?"

Guo Jia was busy exchanging greetings, when he suddenly heard someone calling him in the big tent, he leaned over to look, but it was a person he didn't know, he looked less than 40, very thin, wearing a simple crown on his head, wearing a Liuyun hairpin, wearing Wearing a dark curly train, with a sword hanging from his waist, he is holding one hand behind his back, and stroking the beard under his chin with the other.

The tone of Xin Ping next to him became serious: "Judging Zhengnan? How does he know about Fengxiao?"

Just as he was talking, the judge had come to the front.He didn't seem to see Xin Ping and Guo Tu, and directly bowed to Guo Jia: "Mr. Guo."

Guo Jia hurriedly returned the salute.

"My lord has an order. I want to see you, sir. Please come with me." The examiner took a step, out of the way, and stretched out his hand, the movement was as standard as a textbook.

In the astonishment of Xin Ping and Guo Tu, Shen Pei and Guo Jia walked to the central tent. The trial and matching did not exchange pleasantries along the way, but they kept talking about the current situation and Yuan Jun's current situation.Finally, outside the big tent, a soldier came up and asked Guo Jia to untie his sword.Then the judge bowed again: "If you have neglected these few days, sir, please don't blame me. The lord is in the tent, waiting for you for a long time. Don't worry, sir, please use your talents to persuade the lord, and you are willing to protect the lord with your husband Help the world."

Guo Jiacheng was terrified, and hurriedly bowed in return, and then walked into the big tent under the leadership of the attendant next to him.

The conversation between Guo Jia and Yuan Shao was not brief, but Guo Jia could only remember a small part afterwards.What impressed her the most was not the content of the conversation, those contents were not difficult for her, she just remembered Yuan Shao's over-nourished appearance, luxurious and tasteful interior decoration, and Yuan Shao's expression when he saw her—the change It's still pretty obvious, at least the initial disgust at seeing her appearance goes away by the end of the conversation.

Yuan Shao would ask her questions, she was not unprepared in advance, she was nothing more than a political, economic and historical soldier.Yuan Shao talked about this year's events, and also talked about the emperor's return to Luoyang, and asked Guo Jia what he thought.

Guo Jia said that based on the schedule, His Majesty's chariot battle will reach Yuan Gong's sphere of influence after winter, you can go to meet His Majesty, and then firmly control His Majesty in your hands, so as to gain political advantages .

Yuan Shao nodded, seeming to casually say that Ju Shou and Ju Pei also said the same.

Guo Jia remained calm and pretended not to hear.

Yuan Shao went on to say, Mr. and Er Gong saw the same thing.

Guo Jia said suddenly: "But more people see it differently."

Before Yuan Shao could react, Guo Jia continued, "You yourself don't want to meet His Majesty either."

Yuan Shao was taken aback, he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia asked: "May I know how Ergong persuaded you to meet His Majesty?"

Jushou strongly urged Yuan Shao to welcome the emperor to Ye, and the opinion of the trial match was similar.

Guo Jia was silent for a while, and pointed out the shortcomings of this proposal to Yuan Shao: there is no problem with the meeting place, but there is a problem with the time.The emperor's return to the east, based on the schedule, will take about a year. In this year, there are many variables. Li Jue and Guo Si are not big figures, and they have no long-term goals. This journey will not be peaceful, and there will be many people who covet the emperor.If Yuan Shao waits for the emperor's guard of honor to enter Jizhou before welcoming him, firstly there will be a long time to come, and it is hard to say what will happen during this period, and he may be robbed by other princes; secondly, entering Jizhou cannot be regarded as a solemn welcome. Not enough respect for the emperor.If the emperor is to be held hostage, it is very important to honor the emperor as a puppet on the surface.

"In Mister's opinion?"

"In my opinion, once His Majesty enters Hedong, Minggong can send people to meet him. Then Minggong gets up and greets His Majesty in Yecheng. Now you should create momentum in the world and let people know that you want to respect him." By your majesty, dispel the coveting heart of those who are not ministers, you can also gain the hearts of the people of the world, and you can also win the favor of your majesty, which will be of great benefit to you in order to command the world with the emperor's order in the future."

Guo Jia said sincere words, but his expression was very leisurely and out of tune, as if he didn't intend to persuade Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao pondered for a while, then said, "Let me think about it", and then ordered someone to send Guo Jia to rest.

Guo Jia didn't talk nonsense, got up and left.

The author has something to say:

"The 120 Days of Sodom" is about the Weimar Republic during World War II. A group of politicians formed a political alliance. For the stability of the alliance, they married each other's daughters.
