The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

May, which will make Guo Jia feel uncomfortable, is coming, and Guo Jia's face is as gloomy as the sky.

The illness recovered slowly, and Guo Jia was very worried.The weather in May will not be the warm and yearned-for warmth of early spring. The sweltering heat is beginning to appear, and Guo Jia feels that he is sweating again. "The energy seems to flow out of the body with the sweat. The whole person is like a kettle with holes everywhere. There is a danger of drying up.” Guo Jia saw this passage in a novel before and laughed at the author, but now she can’t laugh.

If it was when he was not sick, such as when he was laughing at Yanyan with Cao Cao two years ago, Guo Jia would not take his physical condition seriously at all.It doesn't matter if you don't feel good, it's fine if you don't feel bad.But just like sweating, occasional heart palpitations, it doesn't matter, it won't kill anyone.

But now that he was sick, Guo Jia started to get scared.As soon as she was afraid, she started to think wildly. It was impossible for her not to know the death time of the "natural genius" recorded in the history she had read.She dared not admit or deny her relationship with that Guo Fengxiao.

In the worst case, Guo Jia said in his heart, I still have less than 8 years left.

So the current sickness and infirmity are all rehearsals for that time?

Look, look, no matter how optimistic people are, they will be sentimental when they get sick. Guo Jijiu has now directly transferred from 2b to art.

Guo Jia comforted himself that it would not be so bad. Every time the medical officer came for a follow-up visit, he said that there was no problem, but that he needed to recuperate. Guo Jia asked me straightforwardly if I hadn’t had a good life for a few years. The medical officer looked at Guo Jia in shock. Said: Why would Guo Jijiu think so?

So should I believe in myself or in history... Guo Jia is torn.

What is more tangled is the situation on the battlefield.

"What is war? You can think of it as the anti-virus program that comes with 365 in your computer. It will check the comprehensive status of your computer in all aspects, such as viruses, Trojans, cache status, software updates... the same is true for war, it It is the anti-virus program that comes with the earth. Once activated, it will comprehensively detect the economic, political, historical and cultural status of the country, nation, internal, and external..." Guo Jia had listened to a young teacher's elective course called "War and the World" , The above paragraph is the opening speech of this teacher's incomparable awesomeness.

So now war is being tested crazily... In addition to the visible things such as economy and military power, there is also the human heart.Guo Jia was thinking, leaning against the door of Sikong Mansion's study.She felt that staying here was too tiring, she might as well go to the front line, at least she didn't have to deal with Xu Du's messy personnel, so ah, Xun Wenruo, how did you insist on doing such a boring and trivial job?

Sima Yi sent urgent official documents, and Guo Jia couldn't care about literature and art. These two letters were all secret letters, one was from the eyeliner in the palace, and the other was sent back from the army.

Guo Jia first dismantled the letter from the army: The Battle of Baima Yanjin was a great success because of Xun You's strategy of attacking the west, but these two places were still too far away from Cao Cao's traditional sphere of influence, and the supplies could not keep up, so after Cao Cao weakened the enemy's vitality He simply gave up these two places and retreated to Guandu.

Then Guo Jia opened the letter from the palace, the content is very simple: confession.

Dong Cheng, who had refused Cao Cao to welcome the emperor, was determined to break up. Guo Jia was not surprised. There was a holiday at the beginning, so it is conceivable to plan to launch a coup while Cao Cao is busy with Guandu at this time.

Political life is a big deal, Guo Jia immediately wrote to Cao Cao.

In May of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao suddenly returned to Xudu, took in Dong Cheng's three clans, and executed them all.Wu Zilan's Prince Fu and others were also punished for treason.

The efficiency of the entire search, arrest, trial and execution process is astounding.Guo Jia knew all this, but Guo Jia didn't participate.Guo Jia still couldn't see the individual's death process naked in front of her eyes, but she felt that making the decision about the death process was at least necessary for Cao Cao.The war is imminent, and we must work together inside and out. During the Anti-Japanese War, the KMT and the Communist Party still knew the united front. Who can tolerate their own rebellion when they are fighting outside.

There was an uproar outside, even at night, even in Sikong Mansion, the sound of soldiers running in line and chanting could be heard outside.Chun Jiu and Qiu Kui had never seen this kind of battle before, and they often trembled with fright, with frightened eyes.Guo Jia did not comfort them, thinking that sooner or later they would have to adapt to this kind of thing.So Guo Jia only cared about himself, and hid in the back hall, not seeing outsiders easily.

However, one day Sima Yi brought the news that Dong Guiren had been hanged to death. Guo Jia's hand trembled while writing the official document, and then he couldn't continue writing.

Although Guo Jia knew that Dong Guiren would be implicated as Dong Cheng's daughter, she felt that at most she would be abolished as a commoner.In her impression, the Yi tribe does not include married daughters, who belong to the husband's family and have nothing to do with their parents.

"This statement was clearly written into the law as a matter of the Jin Dynasty. It was a revision caused by a case of rushing to marry a daughter before the genocide. Before the Jin Dynasty, daughters were counted as three clans regardless of whether they were married or not. I passed the exam, why did the senior sister forget?" Sima Yi felt inconceivable.

"The emperor has also been brought in, how will the account be settled here?"

Sima Yi didn't speak.

Guo Jia suddenly understood: "Swap?"

Sima Yi nodded.

This is a bit of compromise and exchange between Cao Cao and the emperor to save face: whether the emperor was forced or took the initiative, he must have known about Dong Cheng's rebellion against Cao Cao, so after careful investigation, it is not unreasonable for Cao Cao to abolish him. Yes, there are a lot of people in the old Liu family who can be emperors, and he is not missing.In order to keep his position, the emperor acquiesced to the nobles who sacrificed themselves.And Cao Cao didn't want to change another emperor unless he had to. This emperor was very easy to control, but he was criticized by the whole world, and the new people couldn't guarantee to listen to him. Maybe the political situation was even more turbulent.The Guandu matter has not been resolved, and it would be best if the internal affairs can be reduced to minor ones.

So Dong Guiren was sacrificed logically, regardless of whether she was at fault or not.

It is impossible for Guo Jia not to feel sad at all. It is rare for her to realize that she is actually a woman outside of those days that must come every month, and she just watched another woman innocently killed, leading a palace official to say Legend has it that there seems to be no unborn child.

Guo Jia's expression infected Sima Yi, and she murmured, "If it were me, I might save her life."

Guo Jia suddenly remembered: Yes, how could I forget, the Jin Dynasty.

In July, Liu Bei, who had not yet accumulated enough experience in escaping and changing hosts, came to trouble Cao Cao again under Yuan Shao's order.

In July, after Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, he fought Yuan Shao head-on at Guandu. Cao Cao's tactics were defensive counterattacks.

In July, the wheat is ripe, but in this case, it has been impossible to raise rations.

Hungry and dying everywhere, mourning everywhere.

For raising food, Guo Jia was so worried that her hair turned gray.But what is not eaten is what is not eaten, and this thing cannot be created out of thin air.The powder ground from the bark was mixed into the army rations.In order to avoid mutiny, the army always eats better, so the ordinary people probably don't even have the bark.The hearts of the people in the court were fluctuating. Every day, people came to persuade Guo Jia to write to Cao Cao to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

Chen Qun impeached Guo Jia again. This time, Cao Cao was not in Xudu, and no one protected Guo Jia in public opinion. Guo Jia's situation suddenly became very pessimistic.

Guo Jia turned a deaf ear, or pretended to be a deaf ear, and still insisted on raising food, still insisted on handling official duties, and still did not persuade Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

However, Guo Jia was still affected. It was already a repertoire for San Gong to humiliate Guo Jia at the court meeting. The internal and external difficulties made Guo Jia obviously weakened, and her illness worsened.This made Nu Xin, who had been serving with her all the time, feel extremely uneasy. She felt that the current situation would probably consume Guo Jia more than the pain of running around before the army, so it would be better to let Guo Jia go to the front of the army.But when she made this suggestion, Guo Jia dismissed it immediately: Who will I hand over to the front line here?Rearranging personnel will affect Cao Gong's energy, and the current situation is doomed that Cao Gong can't stand any extra trouble.

At this time, Sima Yi pointed out a clear way for Nu Xin: contact Xun Yu directly and let Xun Yu find a way.

In mid-July, Xun Yu returned to Xudu with a Cao Cao warrant and a map with him.

The warrant was to require Guo Jia to immediately hand over the affairs of Xudu and rush to serve in the army.

Guo Jia was silent, and said after a long while: "I'm leaving, and this mess will be handed over to you. Food can't be raised, and people's hearts are fluctuating. The blame that was originally aimed at me now falls on you, and it may be doubled. , then it’s better to let me survive alone and lose a little bit.”

"Feng Xiao, the 54 beheading did not meet the deadline, and the law of the division is called slow army, and the offender will be beheaded. I am here to convey the order of the lord, and I don't have time to explain it to you. I have to discuss matters in the Sikong Mansion later, and I am summoned." The craftsman waits to see the picture."

"Picture? What kind of picture?" Guo Jia felt strange. What kind of picture should he go to Xudu to ask craftsmen to look at it.

"Now my lord and Yuan Shao's two armies are on the opposite side. My lord ordered the deep ditch and the high fortress to stand firm. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao ordered people to build a tall building, and the archers fired arrows on the upper floor. Not to mention the loss of many soldiers in the camp. The movement in the general's camp was clearly seen, and my lord was very worried about it, and couldn't think of a solution. A few days ago, Liu Ziyang's subordinates caught a man with a suspicious look, who was suspected of being a spy. Unexpectedly, he escaped halfway, but left a picture , this picture is called 'Thunderbolt Chariot', and it is marked that it can break tall buildings, but no one in the barracks can understand this picture, the lord ordered me to bring this picture back, and call craftsmen in Xudu to solve it."

"Can I see any pictures?" Guo Jia had a premonition.

Xun Yu took it out and gave it to Guo Jia, who unfolded the picture and looked at it.

After about a stick of incense, Guo Jia looked up at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, I know this picture."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu quickly handed over the matter at hand, and then Guo Jia took the picture and accompanied Nu Xin and Chunyu Qiukui to Guandu.Originally, spring leeks and okra didn’t need to go, but Nu Xin insisted that Guo Jia’s body was not healed, and it would be right to have more people to take care of him carefully. Forget it!"

After rushing to Guandu, Cao Cao didn't bother to lament "Fengxiao, you've lost weight", so he was busy talking about the picture first.

No one knew the picture, but Guo Jia knew it, not only knew it, but also knew the author.

Of course, it's normal for other people not to know it, because this picture is not represented by the rules that the ancients were used to.Drafting is a compulsory skill for students majoring in engineering and mechanical engineering.Guo Jia used to watch Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun's paintings in the group of five.Moreover, Guo Jia also discovered that Zhuge Liang had a habit of writing the word "Zhi Ge" in the thin gold font instead of her name in the "Drawer" box in the title bar of the pictures she drew.

Now these two words are blatantly lying in the column of the cartographer on the map.

Guo Jia knows that she has another fellow villager, but she has no time to think too much now. Her first task is to translate the picture into words that the craftsmen can understand.

Zhuge Liang's engineering background was solid enough, and the Perak car solved Cao Cao's big problem, forcing Yuan Shao to give up his condescending advantage and dig tunnels instead.

So this confrontation continued until August, and it is not over yet.

Food and grass are already the most pressing issue. Although Guo Jia is a patient and has attracted Cao Cao's attention, there is still a guarantee of two meals a day, one meal and one dish, but Nu Xin and Chunjiu and Okra are obviously looking disheveled.In the end, this question was so urgent that Cao Cao was shaken. He summoned his advisers and generals to ask if he should withdraw his troops?

If there was a vote at this time, the result would be that Guo Jia and Xun You voted against, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu abstained, and the others voted in favor.

The democratic system says let's not call home.

It's a pity that Guo Jia is a supporter of dictatorship. She resolutely opposed the withdrawal of troops like hatred. Cao Cao hesitated. At this time, Jia Xu suggested to ask Xun Yu.After a while, Xun Yu's reply arrived together with the newly raised grain.

When the grain truck arrived, everyone's mentality was like that of the New Year.

But this time the people in the kitchen received it somewhat strangely, because unlike in the past, the more food was scarce, the less meat was eaten. This time the proportion of minced meat was more than ever.

When the grain truck arrived, Guo Jia was resting in the camp, not bothering much about personnel matters. In the army, her condition was much better than in Xu. Nu Xin was waiting beside her. I went out to look at the grain trucks, and when I came back, I happily brought back a well-sealed cloth bag.

"What is this?" Guo Jia asked when he saw what was in their hands.

"Dried meat! Let's go to the grain cart. When the grain escort saw us, he asked us if we were accompanying the wine sacrifice. We said yes, and he gave us this thing! He said that it was the dried meat specially prepared by Xun Lingjun for the wine sacrifice. Mr. Cao has a bigger bag than this, and only the sacrificial wine has this! Xun Lingjun specially ordered someone to explain that it was only for the sacrificial wine, and he cooked soup and porridge to nourish his body. A letter from wine!"

Nu Xin was very happy to hear that: "Sir, Mr. Xun Ling misses you very much."

But Guo Jia was not happy at all. She reached out to take the cloth bag, and asked Nu Xin to pick up the seal of the cloth bag with a knife. Then she took out the letter inside, put it aside without even looking at it, and grabbed it Here comes a handful of jerky.

It's dried meat, and it's dried pork. The streaky texture is very clear, and it's also mixed with recognizable hoof tips.

Guo Jia sighed, Xun Wen's insistence on proving that it was jerky pork did not mean that he was trying to cover it up, he just firmly believed that he would understand the good intentions.

Yes, Guo Jia thought, I understand, but I don't accept it.She picked up the bag and went straight out to look for the grain truck. Nu Xin saw that she looked wrong and hurried to follow.

Guo Jia walked to the grain cart, and the grain transport officer was instructing people to unload the grain and grass. Guo Jia met him a few times, but couldn't remember his name.

The man saw Guo Jia, and quickly saluted with an apologetic smile: "Guo Jijiu."

Guo Jia nodded: "Wen Ruo left me with dried meat?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Guo Jia said, stretched out his hand and poured the bag mouth down into the unsealed meat jerky bag on the grain cart, and saw the jerky meat mixed together with a splash, Guo Jia seemed not satisfied, He stretched out his hand and stirred it to make the jerky mix more evenly.

The grain transport officer was dumbfounded: "Jijiu, this..."

"Go back and tell Wen Ruo," Guo Jia said slowly, folding the bag and putting it in his sleeve pocket, "I appreciate his kindness, but I can't be treated the same as Sikong. It doesn't matter that he treats me specially. Since I decided to follow Sikong, I didn't live a comfortable life. I deserve all the hardships and punishments I deserve, and I don't regret it, I am happy."

Turning around, Guo Jia said to Nv Xin: "Tell the cook that Sikong's meals will be considered in the future. Everything here will be business as usual. I will eat whatever the sergeant eats. They are not allowed to do special things! Even if there is an order from Sikong!"

Meat soup for dinner.Nu Xin brought the mixture of meat and wheat rice and put it on the small table in front of Guo Jia. Of course, there were grass seed bran as a substitute for wheat grains and other messy things. Guo Jia picked up the chopsticks and poked the meat. , picked out something from it and put it on the table, then smiled, looked at the meat soup for a while, and then calmly ate it.

At this time, Chunjiu Qiukui also came in with Nu Xin and her own meal. Now is a special period, and etiquette can't be said. They have been eating with Guo Jia and sleeping in the west of Guo Jia's tent at night. In front of Guo Jia's bed is the floor bed of Nv Xin. This arrangement is for the convenience of taking care of Guo Jia at any time at night.

Chun Jiu picked up the bowl and joked with Qiukui about something. She was about to eat it when she suddenly found something wrong with the bowl. After carefully turning it over with chopsticks, she screamed and the bowl fell on the ground. On the ground, a lot of the meat soup inside spilled out.Chun Jiu pointed at something on the ground, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a complete sentence: "That... that is... that there..."

Qiu Kui was taken aback by this turn of events, and looked up at Chun Jiu, who lost his composure.Guo Jia looked up calmly and continued to eat his own.Nu Xin's complexion changed, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked in front of Chun Jiu. She couldn't help but say that the slap was a slap in the face, and the sound of the palm hitting her face sounded clear and sweet, accompanied by Nu Xin's scolding: "Your servant! You have spoiled the food!"

Chun Jiu was sobered by this slap, she burst into tears: "Nails...there are nails on the flesh...it is...it is...meat..."

After hearing this, Okra also turned pale.Looking at the meat soup in his bowl, he seemed to be about to vomit.

Nu Xin was angry: "What nonsense! I saw you spilling meat soup! When is this? It's good to eat some, and you dare to pick and choose! Don't waste food, pick it up and eat it for me !"

Chun Jiu still cried loudly: "Sister Xin! It's...it's human flesh! You can't eat it!"

Nu Xin was furious, she twisted Chun Jiu's well-combed buns, and pressed her head to the ground: "Eat it or not! Eat it all for me! No leftovers!"

"That's enough, Nu Xin." Guo Jia put down his half-eaten rice bowl, stopped the flamboyant posture in the tent, and waved his hand to signal Nu Xin to back down.

Nu Xin let go, bowed and stepped aside, Guo Jia stood up from her seat and walked to Chun Jiu, looking at the little girl's face glistening with tears, she knew she was really terrified.

Guo Jia squatted down, looked at Chun Jiu, and said softly, "Put the rice into a bowl, eat it, don't leave any leftovers."

Chun Jiu stopped crying, and said with a twitch, "Sacrifice...sacrifice wine, human...human flesh...why...how to eat..."

"I know it's human flesh. Before I came here, I couldn't collect any food in Xudu. At that time, I also thought about this method, but I couldn't do it. This time, it was Xun Lingjun who raised food. Once the food truck arrived , I heard that there is more meat than before, so I knew it." Guo Jia's voice was still soft and unhurried, "So I returned the good intentions of Xun Lingjun. We all have to eat human flesh if we want to live. We have no right to be punished. Preferential treatment, I am like this, and so are you. The world is so chaotic today, everyone has no choice, either live or die. Now eat or live, don’t eat or starve to death, you choose, I will not stop it. But if you choose to starve to death , that will not be wasted, and you will continue to be jerky, waiting for other people to choose, understand? It is a simple multiple choice question, either be the one in the bowl to be eaten, or the one outside the bowl to eat people, now , tell me, which one are you planning to do?"

Guo Jia's words were not loud, but they had a strong ability to intimidate the two little girls. Chunyu Qiukui picked up the bowl again trembling, hesitated and finally sipped, and then vomited, Guo Jia turned away and didn't look at it. They just gave an order succinctly and almost cruelly: "Since you are eating, eat it all, and don't leave anything behind."

The author has something to say:

"Stop Ge" is martial arts...Zhuge Liang's habit has a lot of meaning.

It is true that there was human flesh in the grain and grass that Xun Yu raised for Cao Cao.
