The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Cao Cao left Xudu in August. This is not a decisive battle, but a pre-war arrangement. He marched into Liyang and sent Zang Ba to attack Qingzhou to occupy Beihai and other places.This is already considered a provocation to Yuan Shao's territory, and he used offense as defense to consolidate the right wing of his army and prevent Yuan Shao's army from attacking from the east.General Jin stationed his army on the south bank of the Yellow River. This is a good observation point, with the rushing torrent as a natural barrier. If Yuan Shao took the initiative to attack, then Yu Jin would be able to find out in advance.

In September, Cao Cao returned to Xudu, and Guo Jia did a good job this month.Things seemed to be going well, except that Chen Qun seriously accused Guo Jia at the "court meeting".

Guo Jia was too lazy to listen.What Chen Qun impeached this time was Guo Jia's appointment of Sima Yi to assist him in his work. After all, Sima Yi had no official position.Chen Qun said that Guo Jia was suspected of gathering a party, and Guo Jiaxin said that I might as well win you over. Sima has no status and no status. Some of the affairs of the Sikong Mansion have been entrusted to her, and Mr. Renpi is happy to see you, an outsider, making a fuss about it.

Cao Cao dealt with this as usual, and he didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters. Now is a special period, and military priority is given priority.What he was concentrating on was to divide his troops to guard Guandu, which was the main throat to the north of Xudu, and he was ready to face Yuan Shao.Liyang, Beihai and other places were a test. Cao Cao was very clear about this, that place could not be defended, and the final decisive battle would be Guandu.

Of course Yuan Shao was not stupid, he couldn't be stupid if he was provoked and waited to turn into a molestation, he sent troops to attack Li Yang after Cao Cao's August military campaign in an attempt to regain the stronghold.

In November, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao.

This year is almost like this, December is busy with the New Year, Cao Cao is going to celebrate the New Year, and Yuan Shao is also celebrating the New Year, what kind of heroes are in the world, let's talk about it after the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was about to send troops again, but this time there was something wrong with the target of the conquest. Everyone thought it would be some city controlled by Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao rushed to Xuzhou.

Guo Jia was not fully recovered at this time, she was very pleased to hear Cao Cao's decision, and told Xun Yu who came back to escort the food and grass that the lord's decision was very wise.Yuan Shao's idiot would definitely stand still, hey, if he knew how to send troops at this time, he wouldn't be an idiot.

The result of this incident is very simple, Uncle Liu once again [escape skill] +1, [lost wife and children skill] +1, [departure to others skill] +1.And Cao Cao completed the task of [Occupy Xuzhou], and picked up an extra reward [Guan Yu].

Just to put it bluntly, Uncle Liu Huang kept running away and losing his wife and children until he met someone.This so-and-so is still farming in Nanyang.

In February, after Li Yang returned to Yuan Shao's hands, Yan Liang and Guo Tu were ordered by Yuan Shao to go to Baima. Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun stationed here, resisted desperately, and the famous Battle of Yanjin on Baima kicked off.

The stalemate between the needle tip and the wheat awn has begun, and Guo Jia gradually feels the huge pressure on his shoulders. The impact of last year's drought and locust plague is far from being eliminated. More and more urgent.Guo Jia remembered Xun Yu's saying "If you just eat, there is always something to eat", so she sent all the messy things as much as possible, shriveled millet, even mixed with a little barnyard grass, and brought it along with the husk. When it’s done, besides the green vegetables grown in the field, there are also wild vegetables with bad taste mixed in the dried vegetables. The leaves of the gray grass elm are just passing the test, the amount of meat is almost reduced to half of the previous one, and the dried meat In the chest, the bones are also reluctant to be removed.

Guo Jia knew that this was all, and it was far from the most difficult moment.

Guo Jia now has a heavy responsibility, and of course she has to do Xun Yu's job, but the work of Sikong Mansion can't be expected to be handed over to others.So Guo Jia arranged to deal with the affairs of the Sikong Mansion every night.

That night, she was looking at the official documents and account books that Sima Yi had sorted out, when someone came to report that Mrs. Bian came.

Guo Jia frowned, but stood up to greet him.

After Mrs. Ding left, Cao Cao did not continue, but handed over the affairs of the inner house to Mrs. Bian.As a result, Mrs. Bian's position has always been awkward.Not being the mistress, but doing the work of the mistress, the name is not right.

Mrs. Bian and Guo Jia rarely met, and they were very polite when they met. Guo Jia felt that she knew about his relationship with Cao Cao, and then Guo Jia pretended not to know that she knew.

"Madam came to visit late at night, what advice do you have?" After Guo Jia finished his speech, he invited Madam Bian to take the seat, but Madam Bian insisted on refusing to take a side seat. Guo Jia sat down on the other side and asked humbly.

"Recently, I heard that offering sacrifices to wine is hard work. The old woman thought about her own body, living in the back hall without being able to share Sikong's worries, and felt deeply disturbed." Mrs. Bian said leisurely.

"Don't dare to bother Madam to ask. Jia is appointed by Sikong to be in charge of the affairs of Sikong's mansion, and he is often afraid that his lack of talent and learning will cause him to make mistakes. He will bear the heavy trust of Sikong, and he will stand by his sword and dare not slacken." Guo Jia also said leisurely.

"Sikong is leaving this time, I don't know whether the princes have entrusted them with offering wine or not?"

"The affairs of the princes are Jiafen's internal affairs."

"Since that's the case, you should know about Sima's affairs when offering wine. I don't know when to order Zhong Da to retreat?"

Guo Jia was stunned by the question, she should know about Sima Yi, but what happened made Mrs. Bian ask "order Zhongda to retreat?" Guo Jia had no choice but to ask for advice: "Jia is very frightened, please tell Madam. "

"I work day and night to offer sacrifices to wine, and I have occasional negligence. It is not an exaggeration." Mrs. Bian took Guo Jia with a word, and focused on Sima Yi: "Zhongda taught himself the second son, and he is very dedicated. Sikong also praised him. However, there are rumors all day long. , clearly pointing out that Sima Yi deceived the son of chaos, and his heart was wrong, and the old woman was very disturbed. Wen Zhongda recommended wine for sacrifices, so he conspired to make wine for sacrifices. The rumors cannot be completely believed, but for the sake of the reputation of the son of Sikong's mansion, he can make him do good. Go ahead, please sacrifice wine and make a decision."

Guo Jia sent Madam Bian away respectfully, and staggered back to her seat. Thinking about what Madam Bian said, "he has a wrong heart", Guo Jia thought, did I overlook something.

The next day Guo Jia woke up early to see Sima Yi. It was not yet full light at this time, but Sima Yi had already started working. With her back to Guo Jia, she was writing something on the photovoltaic case of the oil lamp.

Guo Jia said behind her back: "Sima, Sikong reported yesterday that officials in Xudu must prepare a statement, and everyone in Sikong's mansion, except slaves and concubines, must also write a statement."

Sima Yi didn't move, Guo Jia looked at her in the shadow of the lamp and just turned his head sideways, nodding slightly.

Guo Jia's heart suddenly turned cold, she thought, did I really forget something.

This is April of the fifth year of Jian'an.

The author has something to say:

The author said that the author disdains to write about Gong Dou. If Mrs. Bian hates Guo Jia, it is definitely not because Guo Jia has received some favors - Senior Sister Guo is a self-reliant and self-reliant woman in the new era, and she is not interested in robbing men.Mrs. Bian hated Guo Jia because of her delicate identity: she was able to get out of the hall and into the bridal chamber, and she was heavily relied upon by Boss Cao. Moreover, because of Sima Yi's relationship with Cao Pi, Mrs. Bian felt threatened.But even so, Mrs. Bian will not utter bad words. If Mrs. Bian does not say sour words with guns and sticks, even if she has been a geisha's wife for these years, she must speak politely.Therefore, the confrontation between her and Guo Jia was of the type that the topic was hidden in the needle.

The description of Sima Yi in this paragraph is actually another interpretation of the eagle watching the wolf Gu. Guo Jia just thought of this and felt uneasy, so she made a decision in the next chapter.
