The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

When Cao Cao heard the report that "Guo Jijiu was very satisfying, he ate a whole plate in two or three bites" and felt that he had quenched his thirst without looking at the plum blossoms. His teeth were sour.

Xun Yu was sitting on the side, although he didn't understand why Cao Cao sent Guo Jia such a sour and inedible food, but he also found something wrong: "It wasn't like this before Fengxiao, my lord, is there something wrong with it?" No? Recently, Feng Xiao's temperament has changed a lot, and there are many unreasonable things, just to be on the safe side, please ask the medical officer to show her again."

Cao Cao nodded.

In fact, there is no need for Cao Cao to nod, Chun Jiu has already gone to invite the medical officer at this time.

Because Guo Jia vomited so violently, both Nu Xin and Chun Jiu Qiu Kui turned pale with fright.Guo Jia herself felt very uncomfortable. Whenever she felt uncomfortable, she thought of the 12th year of Jian'an in the history in her memory: Why am I still so alive and kicking.

Things like "death" can be easily ridiculed when everything is normal, because they don't believe it will happen; if there is no absolute confidence, this kind of ridicule will become a kind of shadow in the heart.

Guo Jia thought, I haven't gone to Wuhuan yet, I can't die, and I don't deserve to die.

When she was thinking wildly, Mr. Ji came, sat down for a while, calmed down and immediately felt his pulse.Guo Jia carefully observed the expression on the medical officer's face, a little surprised, and then a little tangled, but in general, Guo Jia couldn't tell if his body was failing.

Mr. Ji withdrew the pulse pillow and was silent for a while, Guo Jia couldn't help asking, "Am I dying?"

The other party did not answer directly, but instead asked Guo Jia: "It must have been several days since Guo Jijiu reacted like this?"

Guo Jia said yes.

Mr. Ji looked around preoccupied, and made sure that there was no stranger, so he lowered his voice and said to Guo Jia, "The sacrifice of wine is not a disease, it is a sign of being pregnant for two months."

Click!

A big thunder struck down.Guo Jia felt that he was burnt out, but the three of them, Nv Xin, were dumbfounded.

"Such an important matter needs to be reported to Sikong." Mr. Ji said and got up.

"Mr. Ji, stop!" Guo Jia quickly returned to normal after a brief brain short-circuit, and at this moment her brain began to run at high speed again, "Mr. Jia, please do not report back to the Lord. Everyone knows that the Lord wants to conquer Wuhuan, and Jia You must go with you. When the army is about to launch, everything is very busy, and Jia dare not use his whole body to ruin the country's plans."

"Ji wants to report to Sikong, and that's why. Guo Jijiu is expensive, and it's very dangerous to go out with the army at this time."

Guo Jia thought for a while: "You just tell me how my body is."

"Guo Jijiu is old and not suitable for giving birth. If he stays in Xudu and takes good care of him, the chance of giving birth safely is about [-]%. The chance of giving birth is probably less than [-]%. For the current plan, if the fetus is not very big, it will fall with a dose of medicine, and with several months of careful nursing, it will be safe for the next ten years!"

When Guo Jia heard the word "fall", his body shook, but he quickly returned to normal: "Mr. Thank you for today's matter. Mr. Jia should act according to his own discretion. There is no need to report this matter to Sikong. , Jiazi will report back, sir, just don't reveal what you are doing with others."

Mr. Ji repeatedly said, "Naturally, naturally", and then repeatedly urged that if you want to have an abortion, the sooner the better, Guo Jia nodded and ordered Nv Xin to send him out.Then he leaned on the couch alone and began to think about things.

When Nu Xin came back, Guo Jia had already made up her mind, and she issued an order to close the door, and then called Nu Xin and the three of them to the bed, and strictly ordered: "Today's affairs must not be disclosed to outsiders, even in front of Sikong. ! This order is like a military order, and those who violate the order will follow the military law!"

The two little girls, Chun Jiu and Qiu Kui, didn't dare to say anything, they just kowtowed to say yes, but Nu Xin smelled something bad from this order: "The meaning of offering wine is..."

Guo Jia waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you, I will handle it myself."

"Is it because you don't want to follow the doctor's orders for offering wine?!" Nv Xin refused to give Guo Jia time to play sloppy eyes, and pointed at the core issue sharply.

"Yes." Now that Nu Xin has seen through it, Guo Jia has no need to hide it.

"gentlemen!"

"Nu Xin, I want a child." Guo Jia calmly looked at Nu Xin who was overwhelmed, knowing that she was really worried for himself.

"Mister already has Mr. Yi!"

Although still a child.

"I know, but I want a child of my own. Nuxin, you're still young, maybe you can't understand. I'm already 38, and most of my people are buried in the loess. I came here from a very far away place, empty-handed, I am alone, have no relatives, and no one I can trust. If it has been like this, it will be fine, but God has given me another child at this time. It is the only connection between me and this world. I know that at my age, giving birth is very difficult. It’s dangerous, but I still want to try it, I’ve spent the past ten years on adventures, but luckily I’ve been very lucky, presumably God will treat me favorably in this matter, right?”

"Then sir, go and beg Sikong, don't go out with the army this time, stay in Xudu, I will accompany you, serve carefully, you will be safe!"

"No." Guo Jia flatly rejected Nv Xin's proposal, "This expedition to Wuhuan is not as good as before, and the others are not as persistent as I am. If you encounter setbacks during the expedition, you will probably suggest that the lord withdraw the army. It will leave a hidden danger for the future, so I will join the army, and there is no need to discuss this matter."

"Sir, you are risking your life and going out with the army?" Nu Xin was so anxious that she shed tears.

"Yes, so none of you are allowed to persuade any more, and you are not allowed to disclose this matter to anyone, including Sikong and Xun Lingjun. Those who disobey the order will be punished according to military law!" Guo Jia said the last sentence, which was already the most severe warning.

The date for the expedition was set at the end of February, and there was still more than half a month to go. Guo Jia continued to do the work at hand and ordered Nu Xin to pack her bags, but she couldn't support the morning meeting, so she simply took sick leave.

Nv Xin didn't know what method Guo Jia used to silence Mr. Ji. In the first two or three days, Mr. Ji kept asking when to have an abortion. The sooner the better, he was afraid that the month would be dangerous.But three days later, Guo Jia entrusted someone to bring a letter to Mr. Ji. After that, Mr. Ji never disclosed the matter to Cao Cao even when he was summoned by Cao Cao to inquire about Guo Jia's condition.

Seeing that the day of the expedition is getting closer and closer, Guo Jia is getting calmer and calmer, but Nu Xin's heart is like scratching her heart: the doctor is right, Guo Jia is indeed too old, and things like giving birth to offspring It was too hard for Guo Jia. Just three months into her pregnancy, Guo Jia couldn't sleep at all at night. She often broke out in cold sweats. Heart palpitations were more common than before, and she occasionally had a low-grade fever.Guo Jia was tortured very painfully, and Nu Xin was also terrified.Three days before the expedition, Nu Xin couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't watch Guo Jia make unnecessary sacrifices, so she ran to the medical officer behind everyone's back: "Mr. Ji, please tell me the truth." In other words, given Guo Jijiu's physical condition, if he is pregnant and goes out with the army, how likely is it to be safe?"

"In fact, with Guo Jijiu's body, I'm afraid there's not even a [-]% chance of a safe delivery. And whether it's a safe delivery or not, the body will be greatly damaged. But... Hasn't Guo Jijiu already aborted the fetus by himself? Last time she wrote to me and told me about this matter, she asked me to keep it a secret, saying that she had figured it out, and it would be a trouble to have this child, and it might cause discord among the young masters of Sikong, but she didn't want outsiders to know that she and Sikong’s relationship doesn’t want Sikong to know that he has a child who was not born, so he will be sad. I asked someone to bring back the medicine for nourishing blood and Qi. Isn’t she taking it all the time? Why do you ask this when you don’t have any children?”

Nu Xin finally knew what Guo Jia said, this old fox!You lied to yourself!

Nu Xin could only tell the truth: "Actually, Guo Jijiu didn't do what you said! In the past half a month or so, her health has gotten worse and worse!"

The medical officer was taken aback: "How could this happen! She is too courageous! This is a life-threatening situation!"

"Guo Jijiu has put in so much effort because he has made up his mind to give birth to this child. For now, the only way to get Jijiu to change his mind is to invite Mr. Sikong to meet with me and Sikong to come forward!"

But Cao Cao's face is so easy to see.Nu Xin still remembered Guo Jia's instructions, not to disclose it to anyone, including Sikong and Xun Lingjun.In other words, Xun Yu, who had the best relationship with Guo Jia, had to keep it a secret.This matter can only be told to Cao Cao alone, so we have to pick a time when Cao Cao is not in a meeting.

But even at this time, Nu Xin is not qualified to meet Cao Cao casually, and was stopped outside the door. Nu Xin took out the thick skin she learned from Guo Jia, and while trying to break in, she shouted: "Guo Jijiu is under the door. Maid and concubine Xin has something to ask to see Sikong! It was Guo Jijiu who sent me here, it's about the country, how dare you stop me!"

Nu Xin's voice was very clear, and Cao Cao could hear it clearly in the room. He knew it was Guo Jia's maidservant, and ordered someone to bring them in.

As soon as Nu Xin entered the door, she saw that there were no civil servants or military generals on the left and right except for some servants. She fell to her knees with a plop, cried and kowtowed, and asked Cao Cao to retreat to the left and right to report on the major events about Guo Jia.Cao Cao did as he did, and Nu Xin told the medical officer everything about it.

"For the current plan, the only way is to ask Sikong to order to force the sacrificial wine to fall."

After Cao Cao heard this, he was silent for a long time before asking: "If you stay in Xudu, it won't be complete?"

"It's almost impossible to be safe, and I'm afraid there is less than a [-]% chance."

"My lord has many children, but Guo Jijiu has only one!" Nu Xin saw Cao Cao's hesitation.

This sentence reached Cao Cao's heart, and Cao Cao nodded: "I will call for Xiao to come here alone, and you will wait for your orders."

Nv Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cao Cao didn't call Guo Jia over right away. He looked at the military newspaper on the desk, then at the map on the wall, and touched the stack of bamboo slips beside the couch—it was covered with a layer of dust.

This completely unexpected incident made Cao Cao unable to do anything.

Cao Cao heard someone coming in from behind, and wanted to scold the blind servant a few times in his heart, but he was stunned when he turned around.

Guo Jia wore a lotus-patterned train with blue borders, her hair was not tied, and her hair simply hung down, tied at the end of her hair and it was done.

It looks very different from the usual Guo Fengxiao who was forced by Nu Xin to wear a straight train and a cicada crown seriously.

Why does it seem that the lines on the face have changed a little... compared to the heroic edges and corners, it is much softer.

Cao Cao was still pondering, Guo Jia slowly knelt down.

"Why is Fengxiao like this? Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!" Cao Cao reacted quickly, he took two steps and stretched out his hand to help Guo Jia.

Guo Jia grabbed Cao Cao's extended hand, but did not get up: "Jia is here to beg Sikong."

"You knew already?"

"As soon as Nv Xin left, I knew it. She was only for my own good, so I waited for her to finish speaking before coming back."

"Since you know that she is for your own good, then..."

"I beg Sikong to let me keep this child." Guo Jia interrupted Cao Cao before he could finish speaking. "I only have this child."

"Feng Xiao, don't be willful."

"It's not capricious. I'm already 38," as soon as the number was said, Guo Jia's tears slowly fell down the corners of his eyes. "This child may be my only child. If I don't want it, I may never have it again in my life." His own child, Sikong had the heart to watch me grow old and have no one to rely on, and even cut Kang Nashuoji and Xin Chujun in front of my soul?

"Guo Yi will grow up, and he will naturally support you in the future. If you think it's not enough, you can choose one of my sons, whichever you want, and you will raise him when you are young, and he will be close to you when you grow up, isn't it the same?" Cao Cao comforted explain.

Guo Jia pulled the corner of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but in the end he just shed tears: "Which one? Then I want Cao Pi, and Sikong will give it?"

Cao Cao was choked and had nothing to say.

"What Sikong said is correct, but none of them are what I want. I just want this child. I think that someone who is connected with my blood can stay in this world. Even if I become an immortal, I won't change it. I It's not for Sikong, I'm for myself. Sikong doesn't have to worry about this kid getting on bad terms with the Cao brothers in the future. I've made up my mind. His surname is Guo, and he will always be my Guo Jia's child. I didn't have anything when I came here, and I won't ever I don’t need anything, I just beg Sikong: Leave this child to me!” Guo Jia knelt down on the ground with sobs, and Cao Cao’s suppressed crying was more painful than Nu Xin’s crying.

"Feng Xiao, I'm not worried about the child, I'm worried about you. The medical officer said that your chance of giving birth safely is less than [-]%."

"If you go out with the army, it's less than [-]%, right? I've made up my mind, not to mention [-]%, even if there is no hope, I will fight hard. Anyway, everyone knows that I, Guo Jia, am a dangerous soldier. I'm willing to take that risk."

Cao Cao insisted on helping Guo Jia up: "In this case, Feng Xiao, you stay in Xudu, and I will arrange the best medical officers to guard it. Let Wen Ruo follow me to Wuhuan this time."

Guo Jia shook his head: "Only I can go. Wuhuan is too far away, and food and grass are a big problem. No one except Wen Ruo has the ability to maintain such a long supply line. Although Wen He supports sending troops, but with his heart, can he persist? It's hard to say. This time, the conquest of Wuhuan must be quick and thorough. You should avoid leaving troubles if you quit halfway. Don't worry about my health. Prepare a car for me and arrange more thick mattresses. Nu Xin and Mr. Ji will follow, and they will naturally take care of them. Mine. I have considered the worst case, and I am not that stupid, I really want to die. If I feel bad halfway, I will not force myself, I will stop and rest."

"Since Feng Xiao has already thought of it, well, I will do as you said." Cao Cao called someone in, took a yellow fox fur that he often wears, and put it on Guo Jia, "Let Nu Xin help you go back , it’s such a cold day, I’ll wear more clothes when I go out in the future.”

When Guo Jia went out, Nu Xin was waiting on the porch. She didn't see Guo Jia when she went back, but when Chun Jiu said that Guo Jia came to see Cao Cao, she felt a little bad, and rushed to wait for Guo Jia.Seeing Guo Jia going out, she hurried up to help him.Guo Jia shook her hand away: "Nv Xin, as I said, don't disclose this matter, otherwise the military law will be enforced."

Nu Xin hurriedly knelt down: "But with Guo Jijiu's disposal, there will be no complaints even if he dies!"

Guo Jia looked at Nu Xin, and was just about to say something when someone led Xun Yu over. Xun Yu walked up to him and saw Nu Xin kneeling. It wrinkled up.Guo Jia didn't bother to explain anything to Xun Yu, but just pulled Nu Xin up: "You have good intentions, and you disobeyed my order to save me. Besides, you still have Sikong's face, so let's forget it this time, but you didn't give up." Once. All the connivance I have given you so far does not mean that you can be above me, the confidence of your connivance is given by me, and I can accept it if I give it, do you remember?"

Nu Xin repeatedly said Weiwei.

The author has something to say:

Cao Cao's yellow fox fur...according to the law of the Han Dynasty, it is already overstepping, so Xun Yu will be dissatisfied when he sees Guo Jia wearing it, which also dooms Xun Yu's break with Boss Cao in the future.
