The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Guo Jia finally met Uncle Liu Huang.

In mid-June of the third year of Jian’an, Guo Jia and Cao Cao sat opposite each other in the gazebo of the Sikong Mansion, chatting, laughing and cursing. In front of them, there was wine and honey-stained plums.

The second battle against Zhang Xiu has ended, and Zhang Xiu's strength has been greatly weakened, but Yuan Shao, a confidant, just discussed with Tian Feng to attack Xudu and forced Cao Cao to return to protect himself. This can only aggravate Cao Cao The determination to destroy Yuan.

As for Zhang Xiu himself being unlucky, Guo Jia commented on him in this way.

The weather in June is already a bit stuffy, and the sky will be full of clouds at an uncertain time. Guo Jia is not used to this climate. She has been sweating and wiped off those sweat beads. pile up.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, feeling deeply worried: "Feng Xiao, if you feel unwell, please ask the medical officer to check the pulse, and stop drinking."

"No need," Guo Jia looked at the water-stained cuffs, and didn't take it seriously, "It's like this when I'm in hot flashes. I've been used to it for so many years. I saw the doctor earlier, and the doctor said it's nothing. There is no specific cure for the disease, just pay special attention and try not to go to places with hot flashes, such as the south. He didn’t say anything about alcohol, but my opinion is that you should drink as much as you want.”

Just when Sikong and the military master were seriously discussing the issue of medical health preservation, a servant came to report: General Zuo, Uncle Liu Huang, asked to see him.

Guo Jia heard this and planned to avoid it, but Cao Cao held her back and insisted on letting her meet.

Guo Jia didn't understand why Boss Cao made such a decision, maybe it was to show off the counselors under his command to get some satisfaction?

Boss Cao is so cute.

So Guo Jia met Liu Bei in Sikong Mansion.

There is no way to know the inner activities of this meeting with the emperor's uncle. After he met Xun Yu, Cui Yan and other people, Guo Jia didn't know and didn't want to know what he thought of her. She just looked at this man carefully. Then he secretly raised his thumb and praised: Sister Zhuge, you have vision.

It must be made clear that the Zhuge girl Guo Jia mentioned refers to the one in the present world. She doesn't know that Zhuge Liang has passed through. She only knows that in the present world, she and Zhou Yu, Sima Zhuge, Zhao Yun, and the five-person group gathered to comment on the characters of the Three Kingdoms. , Zhuge Liang has always admired Liu Bei the most.Zhuge said that the great banner of benevolence and virtue cannot be let go, and those who can hold it for a lifetime, even if it is a show, are enough to be sages.Zhuge was very critical of Cao Cao and the Sun family, because these people all had records or suspicions of massacres.Zhuge said: Don't tell me that "slaughtering a city" can also mean "breaking a city". I know Liu Bei has never used this word before, and he is not even suspected.

Zhuge pays attention to action, while Guo Jia pays attention to temperament. She must admit that the emperor's temperament is admired and admired from the inside out. Boss Cao is not at a loss if he has such a person as his opponent.

Because Guo Jia was preoccupied, she ignored Uncle Liu's attitude towards her. Uncle Huang also kept this matter in his heart for many years. Until more than a dozen years passed, Uncle Liu looked at the newborn Liu Li , thinking of this day again.He told Zhuge Liang that in June of the third year of Jian'an, he had met all of Cao Cao's advisers.

Zhuge Liang asked: "My lord, what do you think of those people?"

Liu Bei said: "Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Fu, etc., all of them can be called elegant."

Zhuge Liang was very surprised that the emperor's uncle even mentioned Liu Fu, why he didn't mention Guo Jia: "What about Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao?"

Liu Bei was silent for a long time before he said: "Only those who serve filial piety can be regarded as the word 'Merry'."

Uncle Liu Huang came with the hope of leading the army to conquer, but he returned disappointed.

As soon as he left, Guo Jia told Cao Cao that he must not be let go, that he would not be killed, that he should be raised and disabled.

In fact, Senior Sister Guo is also quite ruthless.

Cao Cao said that's fine, but you see that the emperor's uncle is so dedicated to serving the country, we have to pretend not to attack him directly, Fengxiao, do you have any good ideas?

Guo Jia looked at the sky speechlessly: My lord, can you not tease me to play, I admit that I can't play with you.

In fact, Boss Cao knew it well, and Guo Jia didn't understand why he was always willing to ask questions knowingly, and he didn't look for the superiority in IQ like that.

Guo Jia said that I told you when I first came. Sooner or later, there will be a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Now that the situation is in conflict, the conflict is inevitable. What we have to do is to start cleaning up the periphery. In the decisive battle, the princes who threatened us were eradicated. In the process, taking Liu Huangshu out for a walk by the way would be an explanation to him.

Cao Cao continued to ask who should be eradicated first?

Guo Jia wrote the word "Lu" on the food table with a drink.

In September, Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is a good place, but the leaders are really not very good, and none of them can hold on.Guo Jia complained in his heart.

In October, the soldiers arrived in Pengcheng.

In mid-October, Pengcheng was broken and slaughtered.

It was the first time Guo Jia saw such a tragic scene of a broken city. She was not mentally prepared for this. At that time, she felt dizzy and fell off her horse.

When she woke up, she found that she was in Sikong's car. Cao Cao ordered someone to send the military master to offer wine and go back to rest.

Cao Cao had never seen Guo Jia look so serious: "Why is Fengxiao so?"

For the first time, Guo Jia was expressionless: "Being a minister and not admonishing the lord, and being a man of the world but not being able to make peace with Li Shu, Jia's crime is a great crime! May the lord punish Jia, so that the world will be clear, and Jia will have no complaints!"

Guo Jia is not pleading guilty, this is clearly pleading guilty.It was not the first time that Cao Cao slaughtered a city, but Guo Jia was the first one of his counselors to make him so unable to step down in public.

Cao Cao had no choice but to order Guo Jia to be dragged away and sent back to her own temporary residence to be dealt with by Nu Xin.

Guo Jia returned to her residence, closed the door, and faced Nu Xin, she finally burst into tears uncontrollably.

Guo Jia has seen the horrors of war, and even imagined what she has never seen. She can accept everything, but she cannot accept massacres, especially against unarmed civilians.The eight characters of corpses strewn all over the field, bleeding and drifting oars are light if you look at the narrative description, but once they are changed to specific scenes, the lethality is too great.Guo Jia doesn't mind seeing the blood-stained corpses of professional soldiers in neat military uniforms, but Guo Jia can't see piles of uneven corpses piled up high, some men, some women, some old, some farmers, some businessmen. , blood flowed from them, converging into dark red streams, some streams dried up, but the breath was still there, and the whole Pengcheng was like a pot soaked in blood, making people want to vomit.

Nu Xin looked at Guo Jia crying silently, quietly twisted a cloth towel with well water, handed it to Guo Jia to wipe her face, Guo Jia took the cloth towel, there was an earthy smell of well water on it, Guo Jia could not restrain it Thinking of the scene she just saw again, she couldn't help retching.

Nu Xin hurriedly knelt down and patted Guo Jia on the back, saying, "Sir, are you alright?"

Guo Jia only had the strength to shake his head.

Nu Xin took great pains to get Guo Jia to lie down on the couch: "Sir, what happened today?"

Guo Jia slowed down a bit, and looked at Nu Xin weakly: "The city has been massacred, it's so miserable, have you seen it? I don't want to do it with Duke Cao."

Nu Xin was stunned: "Sir, please tell me you are joking. Since Pengcheng is broken, it is expected that the city will be massacred. What does it have to do with whether you are here or not?"

"I'm disappointed. I thought he was a hero. Slaughtering the city is a lie. I didn't expect him to do this. It was terrible. Of course, it's not all his fault. I have already pleaded guilty in front of him, and it's also my fault that I didn't Admonish him in advance, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go back to my hometown." Guo Jia said incoherently.

Nu Xin was very surprised: "Mr. just for this? It's very common for a lot of cities to be destroyed and slaughtered. I can't blame others. I can only say that the people in the city are unlucky and follow the wrong city owner. It is destined to be like this. Besides, how do you know that it is Sikong?" Ordering people to massacre the city, how did the master know that he would not slaughter the city after persuading him? From the perspective of the servant girl, both the master and Sikong probably didn't know about it beforehand! It is also common for soldiers under the command to disobey the restraint. Why should you blame yourself, sir , why blame Sikong?"

Guo Jia listened to Nu Xin talking about the massacre of the city, as if she was eating and sleeping. Yes, much more than yourself.

In fact, what Nu Xin said made sense, Guo Jia calmed down, and began to regret what he said to Cao Cao on the spur of the moment. Cao Cao and the people of Pengcheng did not have a deep hatred, and there was no reason for him to massacre the city. Before the city was destroyed, Cao Cao never Cao Cao probably didn't know about the intention to massacre the city, at least he never gave such an order.The main force that broke the city was the Qingzhou soldiers—the team developed by the Yellow Turban Army is notorious for killing people like hemp. Cao Cao’s control over them has always been weaker than other teams. It’s okay to say that these people make their own decisions imagination.

Guo Jia thought about it all night, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, so she rushed to Cao Cao's residence before dawn, and continued to kneel outside in a proper manner—a second apology.

Cao Cao likes Guo Jia's temperament, and he rarely thinks about it directly.Typical high iq and low eq, no matter what you do, you do it out of your heart, and your face is just a cloud.If there is a mistake, you can correct it if you know it. When it gets better, you can be confident, and when it gets bad, you don’t have to worry about it.

Guo Jiaming clearly told Cao Cao what he was thinking: It was my fault that I offended you without asking the facts in front of everyone. I admit my mistake and should be punished.But this does not mean that I agree with this massacre of the city. "If the lord wants to become a hegemon, he must show righteousness to the world." Yangmou is the kingly way. You can't ignore those Qingzhou soldiers.

Cao Cao thought it was funny: "What do you do with Feng Xiao?"

Guo Jia replied in a serious manner: I am Sikong Division Jijiu, and the affairs of the Sikong Mansion are all within my scope of authority. The Qingzhou soldiers are your personal soldiers. You can directly declare that they will be assigned to the Sikong Mansion and I can take care of them.Damn, I don't believe that I can't convince them.

Cao Cao said Fengxiao, do you still know that you are the head of the Sikong Mansion?When I set up the position of Military Advisor to Sacrifice Wine, I asked you to manage the Sikong Mansion for me. Take a look at what you have managed?

Guo Jia felt very aggrieved, why didn't I take care of it? I am very conscientious in managing accounts and personnel. I am reluctant to write reports every day.

"Then how did you manage to let Mrs. Ding go back to her mother's house?"

Sikong, can you find out what the principal is doing first?This position doesn't care about the messy things in your harem.

In December of the third year of Jian'an, Lu Bu died in Xiapi.

Liu Bei's sentence "Ming Gong didn't see Lu Bu, Ding Jianyang and Grand Master Dong" sent Lu Bu's life, but Guo Jia thought it was normal. When Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to Xiapi City to see Lu Bu, he must have a feeling of relief in his heart, because Lu Bu After conquering Xuzhou controlled by Liu Bei, Liu Bei was placed in Xiapi.The so-called unbelief looks up to see who is spared by the sky.

Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Gao Shun were all hanged, and then the owl's head was sent to Xudu for public display. Guo Jia sighed in his heart, killing people and punishing their hearts, but that's all.The same is true for the live broadcast of Nuo's life before his execution.

Cao Cao took care of Chen Gong's old mother, wife and children, but it was Guo Jia who was really busy with this. Who let her be in charge of Sikong's mansion?Boss Cao is talking about this matter, but in Guo Jia, he is arranging the house, arranging the servants and arranging all the daily life... It's a mess of trivialities.

The author has something to say:

Boss Cao's official title is Sikong, and Guo Jia's full official title is "Sikong Division Jijiu", which is actually equivalent to Boss Cao's retainer.By the way, Guo Jia was later called "Sikong Sacrifice Wine" to avoid the taboo of Sima Yi's eldest son, Jin Jingdi Sima Shi, just like Zhang Chunhua's father Zhang Wang mentioned in the previous article that he was Zhang Maocai. Maocai is not a scholar Well, in order to avoid the taboo title of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
