The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

At the end of February, Guo Jia went out with the army.

In May, the army arrived in Yizhou.

Just three months.

It's easy to say, but three months, for Guo Jia, it was more than 80 difficult days and nights. When she arrived in Yizhou, she felt that she couldn't go with the army anymore.Mr. Ji also strongly opposed her continuing to join the army.

"There will be no safe big town any further. If something happens, there is nothing anyone can do about it! You'd better stay here and rest!" Mr. Ji remonstrated.

"You have slowed down the speed of the army's movement. Isn't this contrary to the speed and thoroughness you planned at the beginning?" Nu Xin said a little exaggerated. Guo Jia did slow down the speed of the march, but this speed is still negligible. What affected the march was bad weather and terrain.The strong wind blows up sand and dust, making it difficult for people to see the road clearly. The ground under their feet gradually turns into sand, and every step forward sinks half of their feet.

Therefore, Guo Jia proposed to stay in Yizhou when Cao Cao visited as usual every day.Cao Cao readily agreed.

"But you still have to lead the army to continue marching. The environment is very difficult, but this battle will not be more dangerous than Guandu. Nowadays, soldiers are expensive and fast, but the army is too heavy and moves slowly, which is not good for us. Once Tadun has If we are not prepared, we will increase unnecessary casualties for no reason. The most urgent thing is to leave the baggage, go forward with light cavalry, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and attack suddenly. The most important thing is, no matter what happens in the middle, you must not have the idea of ​​retreating. We must wipe out Tadun's army and drive them out of Wuhuan."

After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a while: "I have exactly this intention, but I am not familiar with the road here, and I dare not trust the guide. Where can I find a path for Qingqi to advance?"

Guo Jia sighed in his heart: I still have to say it after all.

"I know my lord wanted to go along the coast, but it will rain heavily in July, and this road will not pass. Don't lose heart, my lord. There will be a man named Tian Chou in Wuzhong County to guide you. This person can be trusted. He will definitely take you along the road of Lulongsai, crossing Baitan, passing through Pinggang, passing through Xianbei Court, and finally approaching Liucheng. The more dangerous place in the middle is Bailang Mountain. When passing this place, you must be more careful .”

Guo Jia thought, I have never been so serious about spoilers.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have time to say more now...

The next day, Cao Cao's army continued to set off from Yi County, and Guo Jiaqiang supported Cao Cao to see him off.

"My lord, remember, don't give up halfway!"

Cao Cao shook Guo Jia's hand vigorously: "Here and the children are waiting for me to come back. After class teacher Xudu, you will be the legitimate mistress of Sikong Mansion."

Guo Jia smiled softly and lowered his head.

"You don't believe me? I've already thought about the name of the child. I thought about it all night." Cao Cao grabbed Guo Jia's hand and wrote the word "熇" in her palm stroke by stroke, "The word is called Zixuan. "

Guo Jia's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head.

"You feel bad?"

Guo Jia grabbed Cao Cao's hand and wrote the word "He": "The fire is too blazing to hurt people and yourself. It's not as good as Jiahe for the world, Prime Minister."

"Okay, okay." Cao Cao nodded happily, "Wait for me to come back to pick you up!"

Guo Jia watched Cao Cao get on his horse, the army raised smoke and dust, and looked north.

In June, Guo Jia was tortured to death by frequent fetal movements and abdominal pain. Nv Xin worked tirelessly in front of Guo Jia's bed every night, serving her wholeheartedly in her clothes. But for a professional like Mr. Ji, he It is clear that no matter how careful the service is, it is only a matter of time before tragedy strikes.

On the morning of June [-], Guo Jia was awakened by a nightmare and severe pain.Nu Xin also woke up. Seeing the dark red blood slowly dripping on the ground, Nu Xin desperately restrained her urge to scream. The first thing she did was to ask the official maid provided by Yizhou to call Mr. Ji Come on, the second thing is to gather all the maidservants together to intimidate after the medical officer arrives: Anyone who dares to reveal a word about what they saw today will be a tribulation of the barbarians!

On June [-], Guo Jia had a miscarriage.

This is not the worst situation, the medical officer found that it was also accompanied by blood collapse.

Even in the 21st century, when technology is advanced and various methods are too much, blood transfusions can still be used. This kind of disease would make doctors feel very troublesome. In the Han Dynasty, it would be terminally ill.

With acupuncture and moxibustion decoction, the bleeding condition was slightly improved, but the root cause was not cured.

Everyone could see that Guo Jia was slowly sliding into the abyss of death.

During the two months from June [-]th to August [-]th, Guo Jia's situation was good and bad, but overall it was getting worse and worse.

On August [-], Guo Jia began to fall into a coma.

Nv Xin was at a loss, but she had to shoulder the burden of managing everything. She began to discuss sending someone to send a letter to Cao Cao to explain Guo Jia's situation.

Guo Jia, who was in a coma, heard this discussion. She woke up and called Nu Xin. When Nu Xin knelt down on the side of the couch with tears in her eyes, Guo Jia said to her, "Don't go. You may not be able to find it if you go. It's useless, and it just made him worry, I'm already like this, so don't make me feel uneasy anymore." After speaking, he passed out again.

Nu Xin desperately held back her tears, ran to the side room a few steps, and buried her face in the thick bedding before she dared to cry.While crying, Nu Xin was thinking resentfully, whose fault is it that Guo Jia has fallen to where he is today?

On August [-]th, the weather was fine, except for the temporary mansion where Guo Jia lived, everywhere in Yizhou was festively festive.Worshiping the moon, burning incense and offering fruits for travel, the streets are also very noisy.

Guo Jia's spirit has also improved a lot that day. Seeing this scene, Nu Xin rekindled a little hope in her heart.

Guo Jia wanted to sit up, and Nu Xin helped her to sit up.Guo Jia asked if it was very lively outside?Nv Xin replied yes.Guo Jia asked again if it was like this before?After all, Yizhou is considered a military center, and it has been repeatedly warred in these years. During the war, there is no desire to play.

Nu Xin couldn't answer.A local maidservant next to me replied that it was quite lively three or four years ago, since Tadun harassed the Central Plains, there has been no festival. Invasion again, so I am relieved to play boldly and unscrupulously.

Guo Jia was very happy: Boss Cao seems to have done a good thing.

But looking at the group of maidservants kneeling and not daring to look up, Guo Jia suddenly remembered: "You all have relatives here? Why don't you go back and have a family reunion?"

No one dared to speak, and a few bold ones glanced at Nu Xin, then lowered their heads again.

Guo Jia already understood in her heart, she looked at Nu Xin: "I am the master today, you go back and come back tomorrow."

"gentlemen!"

"Nu Xin, I'm in good spirits today. It doesn't matter if I let them take a day off. Besides, I don't need so many people to take care of me here. Isn't there a whole family in this mansion who are slaves? If there is something to call, they will come in time."

A large group of maidservants hurriedly kowtowed, and then ran faster one by one for fear that Guo Jia would regret it.

Nu Xin was very angry: "Mr. knows how to be a good person. If there is anything, I will see who Mr. can turn to!"

Guo Jia smiled as if apologizing: "Isn't this great? They are gone, we are free to say something, Nu Xin, sit on the couch and talk to me for a while."

Nu Xin sat awkwardly on the edge of the couch.

"Have you been with me for ten years?"

"More than 11 years, almost 12 years." Nu Xin corrected.

"I'm sorry for you, you are in your 20s this year, and I missed you for 12 years."

"Since Mr. is sorry for me, how can I compensate me in the future?" Normally, Nu Xin would say "Mr. is too serious", but today she was angry, so she answered unscrupulously.

"Whatever you want, as long as I have it."

"If I want to have something to say, my husband will take the initiative to give it to me."

"Hmm..." Guo Jia stretched out his hand with difficulty and began to break his fingers: "I don't have any cash—the ones you collected will probably be used to pay off the wine bills of the Old Fragrance Shop in Dongcheng, and the house you bought—that one can't be given to you for the time being. , Sealed letter with official title - I can't give you this one, a few bundles of books - I guess you don't like to read it either..."

Nu Xin interrupted Guo Jia's inventory of her property: "Mr. is full of abilities. Just teach me a little, and it will be enough for me to use for a lifetime."

"What do you want to learn?"

Nv Xin was just chatting with Guo Jia, what is important is not important, so she deliberately picked up Guo Jia's incompetence and said, "Sir, teach me how to sing and dance."

Nu Xin originally thought that Guo Jia would say, "How can I do this? You can change it", but Guo Jia looked at her firmly and said, "Okay."

Nu Xin was stunned, she didn't expect Guo Jia to really agree.

Guo Jia said, when I was young, in my hometown, I once arranged a Han song and dance with my classmates. I know this, and I only taught it to a few younger sisters. I originally wanted to teach you and spring leek and okra here. , But every time I think about it like this, I feel that you will be serious wives in the future, and you can't learn the things that these singers and dancers use, so I dismissed this idea.Since you brought it up today, I will leave it to you. In the future, when you get married, you can dance for your beloved to add some boudoir joy.

When Guo Jia said "stay" instead of "teach", Nu Xin's eyes turned red.

Guo Jiaquan pretended not to see it, and asked Nu Xin to bring a pen and a wooden tablet.

"This song and dance is called "Zijin". Can you understand the music score I wrote? I will sing it to you in a while. My voice is not good, but the tone is probably right. I can't do the dance myself. It’s not difficult to show it to you, but it’s a pas de deux, in fact, it can be used as a solo dance if you take it out alone, and each has its own name..."

Since August 27, Guo Jia has been in a coma for most of the day.

A servant girl tremblingly came to ask for instructions on Guo Jia's affairs, and she was scolded bloody by Nu Xin.

On August [-], Guo Jia woke up in the morning and was in such good condition that he could even walk on the ground.Nu Xin forced a smile: "Mr. is blessed. After passing this test, you can look forward to recovery."

"Ta Dun should be dead already." Guo Jia said out of nowhere, "Prime Minister is going to be a teacher soon."

"Prime Minister?" Nu Xin felt puzzled, "Sir, do you mean... Sikong? If Sikong is the class teacher, he will meet you soon."

"Nu Xin—" Guo Jia stopped Nu Xin from continuing, "You have been with me for so long, don't you know my habits? What's the point of deceiving yourself? Do you think that what you can't see doesn't exist?"

Nu Xin stopped, with tears in her eyes.

"Bring a pen and silk and wipe away your tears. Time is running out. We all have a lot to do. Hurry up." Guo Jia ordered calmly. "Everyone else in the house has gone out, leaving Nu Xin alone to take care of you, and ask you to come in again when it's time for you."

Guo Jia was supported by Nv Xin and came to the short table.

"Cold." Guo Jia said.Nu Xin looked at the big sun outside, then at Guo Jia, and decisively went to fetch the yellow fox fur and put it on Guo Jia, Guo Jia smiled with satisfaction.

"Grind the ink." Nu Xin immediately began to grind the ink.

Guo Jia wrote: The master book, Guo Jia, pays his respects again.manage……

Guo Jia paused his pen, then crossed out the word "Si" and rewritten "Your Majesty of Duke Wei".

Nu Xin looked at Guo Jia's stroke by stroke, "... Wuhuan has been flattened, so there is no need to go on an expedition. It is not a problem for Xi and Shang to go to Liaodong. Gongsun Kangsu, the prefect of Liaodong, is jealous and cruel. Yuan's generals died When it arrives, it will not be tolerated. Before long, Zexi and Shangshou will arrive. The public should comfort Liaodong and do not rush to attack it. When Kang dies, he must be respectful, and it is best to win over and show his favor. In the future, the army will be reorganized, Liaodong You can go down..."

After Guo Jia finished writing with concentration, he felt a little dizzy, and the pen fell to the ground with a thud.Nu Xin quickly put down the ink stick in her hand: "Sir, sir?"

Guo Jia made up his mind: "It's okay." Then he groped to pick up a pen, and wrote in large characters on the back of the silk: "Remember: Words"...

Guo Jia looked at the side of the words and hesitated again, and put down the pen several times. In the end, as if she had made up her mind, she took up the pen and changed the side of the words into the word "Si", and then continued to write "horse is not available". , Jiangdong cannot be attacked."

After finishing writing, Guo Jia looked at it gratifyingly, blew it lightly, then folded the silk and asked Nu Xin to find a kit to put it in. Fell to the ground, overturned the voice of several cases.

On the second day of September, Guo Jia managed to open her eyes, her body seemed to be light and weightless, she vaguely heard someone crying, turned her head with difficulty, and saw Nu Xin guarding the bed.

"Female Xin..."

"Sir! Sir!"

"Brocade... brocade pouch..."

Nu Xin quickly took it out from her chest: "Don't worry, sir, I've been wearing it close to my body all the time, and no one has ever touched it!"

Guo Jia's expression proves that she is very satisfied: "They... come out... come out..."

Nu Xin knew what Guo Jia meant, wiped away her tears, and said to the two maidservants kneeling behind her, "Go out, close the door, and don't come in unless you're told."

After the two maidservants withdrew, Guo Jia stretched out his skinny hand and grabbed the kit in Nu Xin's hand: "I don't...don't trust...she...they, here...here...is... ...It's you...this thing, you...must...hand it over to...Si...Sikong, this...this level...is related to...Wei...Wei State..."

Nu Xin didn't understand all of them, but what she understood was enough: "Yes! Nu Xin understood! This thing is very important, and Nu Xin will hand it over to Sikong herself! Don't worry, sir!"

Guo Jia was very relieved, and his hand slowly slipped down: "At home...the thickest...the thickest pen...in...there...is...a will...for me...for..."

"Yes! Yes! I will definitely follow the will in the thick pen that Mr. Favors most!" Nu Xin cried so hard that she could barely speak.

"Also... tell Wen... Ruo, I... sorry for him... let him...retire...retire early..."

Nü Xin could only cry.Guo Jia's voice became weaker and weaker, and his eyes gradually closed.

"I regret it... actually... love... fortunately... history..."

In 207 AD, the 12th year of Jian'an, Guo Jia died of illness in Yizhou in September at the age of 38.

Cao Pi excitedly came to see Sima Yi early in the morning: "Zhong Da, I know that flying chess!"

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua were sitting and drinking tea, seeing him, Zhang Chunhua hurriedly avoided the table, Sima Yi simply went back to lie down on the couch.

"Zhongda, get up and play chess with me?"

"The louder you shout, the whole world will know that I am pretending to be sick."

Cao Pi shyly put the wooden chessboard away: "It's okay, didn't your father transfer all the maids and servants to other yards? As long as you don't leave this room, you will be absolutely safe. I'm afraid you will be bored. It's just you and Guo Jijiu, and I'll play chess with you."

"There's nothing to be proud of in such a naive thing."

"I've been thinking about it for several nights." Cao Pi said with his eyes wide open, "I've been staring at the chessboard, but I haven't slept well...Last night I suddenly realized that this chessboard looks like a certain place, it's here, easy……"

Cao Pi stretched out his finger to point to the chessboard, but inexplicably touched a bronze sheep lamp next to it. The fire inside had already been extinguished, but the lamp fell heavily and knocked over the chessboard.

Cao Pi was taken aback: "...Yizhou..."

"What's going on?" Sima Yi was also frightened by the sudden situation, she rolled over and sat up.

Cao Pi's face turned pale: "I just said that Yizhou...wouldn't...not my father..."

Sima Yi walked up to him, and the broken wooden planks turned into several pieces on the ground, and the middle piece really looked like a map of Yizhou.

"It's not Sikong." Sima Yi said with certainty, "Sikong is not in Yizhou now, this chess was brought by Senior Sister Guo, Senior Sister...?"

Zhuge Jun looked at the stars and yawned.

Zhuge Liang looked at the northern sky intently.

Huang Yueying came from behind and put a coat on her: "It will get cold sooner or later, husband, you should take care of yourself."

A maid and a servant stepped forward to add a coat to Zhuge Jun.

"It's rare to have such a place with beautiful stars, and now is a good time." Zhuge Liang didn't care. "The environment where I used to live was so bad that I couldn't see the stars."

"What did your husband see?"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his feather fan and pointed to the northern sky: "There is a guest star, Beidou, near Yuheng."

"Husband said it, hasn't it been several years? It took a lot of effort to determine whether it was a guest star, and how many classics were searched to be sure. Why did it suddenly come up again today?"

Zhuge Liang put down the feather fan and looked at the Five Elements Yin Yang Eight Trigrams diagram on the fan handle: "Because this star has suddenly dimmed recently."

"Why is this? Could it be the emperor's close minister..."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "The emperor lives in the North Pole, so is Ziwei Star. The Big Dipper revolves around the North Pole, and the guest star violates the Big Dipper but not the North Pole. Those who are right or wrong are the closest ministers of the emperor, and they are important officials."

"Don't offend the Tianshu who is in command of orders, don't offend the Tianxuan who is in charge of luxuries, and if you do not offend, you will count your gains..."

"This person is not famous..."

Just as he was talking, suddenly a shooting star passed by, Huang Yueying screamed out, and Zhuge Jun beside him was so frightened that he couldn't sleep: "Husband, guest star, guest star..."

Zhuge Liang paused heavily in his heart: "Yueying, what year and month is it now?"

"The second day of September in the 12th year of Jian'an...what's the matter with you, my husband?"

"Could it be that..." Sister? !

Zhuge Liang was thinking wildly, and Zhuge Jun's voice of "Aw" frightened everyone. Zhuge Liang was about to reprimand him when he heard Zhuge Jun's panicked voice: "Second...Second brother! Wei Yueyan! The guest star is in danger! Yue Yan!"

The Weiyueyan that usually appears in the southern sky is usually not very bright. If the guest star was not too bright to attract Zhuge Jun's attention, he almost forgot that there is Weiyueyan here.

"Where does the dangerous place correspond?" Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, Weiyueyan returned to Xuanwu, and is the star of the broken queen, so it is dangerous and often associated with avoiding soldiers. The change in Weiyueyan may be related to the war.

Zhuge Jun was asked by Zhuge Liang, and frantically flipped through the stack of pictures next to him: "Wait a minute... I'll check..."

"...I told you to get ready and you don't listen, so I'll look for it temporarily... If it's really a big deal, where would you have time to look for it now?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but said Zhuge Jun.

"Husband, let me borrow the feather fan, I would like to give it a try."

Zhuge Liang handed the fan to Huang Yueying.Huang Yueying skillfully turned the gossip, which was originally transformed by her: "Centered, vast, flat, near the river, rich...this is..."

"Jingzhou!" Huang Yueying and Zhuge Jun shouted at the same time.

The eyes of the two people looked at Zhuge Liang at the same time. The latter was looking up at the east where the sun was about to rise, and the Venus was not far away.

The early morning mountain wind passed over Wollongong, and the flap of his clothes was blown like a butterfly, but this man was indeed standing still.

At the foot of Wollongong, the ignorant Zhao Yun was carrying a bag of fried pork jerky and humming happily to see his goddaughter Zhuge Jin.

"Captain, it's a pity to miss the opportunity to attack Xudu this time!"

Zhou Yu smiled: "Ziming, if you just want to fight, you will have a chance soon."

Zhou Yu turned his attention to the reeds on the bank of the river. In late autumn, the reeds that have completely dried up are good materials for starting a fire.

The author has something to say:

Special note: There is no mistake in the title of this chapter~ If you feel something is wrong, it is normal, the author wrote it like this on purpose.

This chapter also left a lot of foreshadowing, some of which will be solved in the next chapter.

Doesn't anyone think it's weird?Zhuge Jin's life experience is so tortuous, it is normal to be the main supporting role, and Nu Xin is a fabricated character, why should she become the first supporting role?In fact, although Nu Xin's roles are not many, she plays an important role in this article. Please pay attention to the next chapter for details.

This chapter is actually not finished, but the number of words is too many and the author is too tired, so I ended it hastily, and let Zhuge and Senior Sister Zhou come out to make up the number at the end.

All the divination and astronomical content involved in this article, I dare not say that it must be correct, at least there are sources. (Of course, if the source is wrong, the author must be wrong).Absolutely not daring to make things up according to the meaning of the text. Regarding this point, the author feels that his setting is more ethical than some works that are keen on cuckolding the emperor. The interpretation of Si Tianjian and Wei Yueyan in the TV series, etc., It simply makes the author, the two hundred and five, unable to bear to look directly...
