Chapter 102 Assassin (2)(1/2)
Guo Jia is from Yingchuan.
However, unlike the situation of Xun Yu and others, Guo Jia is not from a grand family.
Although he was recommended by Xun Yu, he was essentially very different from Xun Yu. In other words, Guo Jia came from a poor family and wanted to be able to stand out without worrying about the interests of the family. In this regard, Guo Jia was much more free than Xun Yu.
In the first year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was expelled by Lu Bu and defected to Cao Cao.
Guo Jia strongly recommended Cao Cao to "it is good to draw it early".
However, at that time, Cao Cao accepted the emperor to order the princes and then summoned a hero to a great letter, so he did not adopt Guo Jia's idea.
However, from this point of view, Guo Jia is very loyal to Cao Cao.
Therefore, when Cao Cao heard Guo Jia say this, he immediately became interested, "Why do you want to relieve my worries?"
"Now that Liu Chuang is the Marquis of Zhongling, it may be difficult to change.
I heard that Zhong Yao and Wen Ruo had come to plead with Sikong, and Kang Chenggong wrote a letter to prove his identity for Liu Chuang. Even if Cao Gong did not want to tell the world, the people of the world would know. In this way, Sikong's equipment seemed too small and would hurt the hero's heart."
Cao Cao nodded, "Fengxiao, continue talking."
"Liu Chuang, the ringworm of Lin Jie is not enough to worry about it.
The person who should pay attention to Sikong is Zhang Xiu, Nanyang... This person entrenched in Nanyang, and retreated to get Liu Biao as a helper, enter Yingchuan, and arrive in Xudu in tens of days. Moreover, Zhang Xiu's troops are all Xiliang Jingqi, and have experienced many battles. If they are not solved as soon as possible, they are afraid that there will be a big disaster."
"What Fengxiao said is very true."
"Since that's the case, why should Sikong be distracted?
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with Liu Chuang... Haha. Since Yang Biao and others don't want Liu Chuang to come back, Sikong doesn't have to let him come back now. If he is forced to force him to irritate his army, he will angrily raise anger. If he joins forces with Yuan Shao or Lu Bu, Yanzhou will inevitably be in danger.
Therefore, Liu Chuang can comfort him at this time but not force him.”
Cao Cao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pondered without saying a word.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Can I be bullied by Yang Biao?"
"Haha, Sikong doesn't have to be angry.
In fact, this incident is only beneficial to Sikong, but not harmful.
Didn’t Yang Biao want Liu Chuang to be the captain of Dongyi? He gave him... not only did he let him be the captain of Dongyi, but Sikong should also be the prefect of Liu Chuang Qi County. Well, this is not enough. Liu Chuang is a relative of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of Zhongling Hou. How could Sikong neglect him?
I will pay my respects to him, Guantinghou.”
If I hadn't known that Guo Jia was loyal to him, I was afraid that Cao Cao would chop off his head before he could finish speaking.
Are you helping me with advice or gaining status for Liu Chuang?
But he thought about it carefully and immediately understood what Guo Jia meant.
A smile flashed in his eyes. He looked at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, is this going too far?"
"How could it be too much!"
Guo Jia looked serious, "Yang Biao and the others wanted to praise Liu Chuang, so Sikong would fulfill their wishes. Just praise Liu Chuang.
Sikong not only appointed him as the captain of the Dongyi school, but also appointed him as the Marquis of Guanting, which was worthy of his royal status. I believe that Yang Biao and others would not object. But this prefect of Qi County... Qi County was under Yuan Tan, so how could he be willing to give up Qi County? If he did not give up Qi County, Liu Chuang would have to stay in Beihai Kingdom. He was both under someone else's roof, so it would be difficult to make much change. Most importantly, Sikong's move could prove to the people of the world the attitude of Sikong's support for the Han Dynasty. The heroes of the world would inevitably praise Sikong for this, so why not do it?"
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing loudly.
All the unhappiness in my previous heart disappeared with this burst of laughter.
Yes, I have done everything you ask for. What reason do you have to go against me again?
It's not too late to deal with you after I've solved Zhang Xiu...
"What you say about filial piety is the most true, so you follow the plan of filial piety."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Guo Jia said goodbye to Cao Cao and came out of Sikong Mansion.
He got on the carriage and walked along Zhuquemen Street. When he reached Yuxiu Bridge, he was stopped.
"How is the matter done when Fengxiao?"
Xun Yu got on Guo Jia's carriage and asked.
"Wen Ruo rest assured, the lord has agreed to the request."
"oh?"
Xun Yu was stunned and showed a look of confusion.
"Mr. Cao, what are you planning to make arrangements?"
"Haha, Dongyi Captain, Guanting Hou, Qi County Prefect... What do you think?"
Xun Yu's face suddenly changed. He stared at Guo Jia, and then said softly: "The heart of filial piety is so poisonous... Zhongling Marquis only has this son, you actually have the heart to make him in such a high position. You are not helping me, you are obviously trying to kill Meng Yan to death."
Who is Xun Yu?
His brain is no worse than Guo Jia, and he is even more flexible.
He immediately understood what Guo Jia meant, and Guo Jia was trying to praise Liu Chuang.
Thinking that Liu Chuang was young and had a high position, how could it not be enviable? If you don’t say anything else, you may not be too comfortable and even feel resentful. By the same token, the position of prefect of Qi County is useless. If you don’t do it well, it will also cause Yuan Tan’s anger. At that time, Liu Chuang will face more than just Peng Yan, but he will probably have to face Yuan Shao’s Bingfeng.
Guo Jiahun didn't care and smiled slightly.
"Eat the king's fortune and share the worries for the king.
Wenruo, you ask me to help you, I help you... I have persuaded my lord to agree with your request, and for my friends, I have not broken my promise. I also know that Liu Chuang is the descendant of Zhongling Marquis, and I respect Zhongling Marquis very much. But now, the world is in chaos and cannot be pacified. I believe that I have done nothing wrong... If Liu Chuang is willing to return to Yingchuan, I can guarantee that the lord will not ruin his life, and at the same time, he will persuade the lord to rebuild his home for him, and return everything that Zhongling Marquis during his lifetime to him.
But if he doesn't want to come back...
Wen Ruo, if he can't even solve this problem, what else do you expect from him?
Everyone has his own ideas. You respect Zhongling Hou. I respect Zhongling Hou, but whether it is you or me, I know nothing about Liu Chuang.
So, I can only help so much.
If he has the ability, he can naturally solve these problems. But by then, I will definitely persuade my lord to kill him and never show mercy."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he stared at Xun Yu calmly.
The clear and deep eyes made Xun Yu feel a little palpitations.
"parking!"
He suddenly shouted loudly.
When the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
"I know that you are loyal to Sikong, but what you do today will be despised by the people of the world in the future."
"So what?" Guo Jia smiled slightly on the carriage, "I don't plan for each other, I will serve my lord, and I will do my best to plan for him. I will die without regrets. What about you, what about you? You want to restore the Han Dynasty, but you also put it on your lord. Isn't this a contradiction?"
Xun Yu's body trembled, he glanced at Guo Jia, and turned around and left silently.
A bitterness appeared on Guo Jia's face, but then a hint of evil flashed in his eyes.
Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang...
In his heart, he kept muttering Liu Chuang's name and made up his mind even more secretly that if he had the chance, he would never let Liu Chuang go.
If this young man rises up, he will be a concern for his heart!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Compared to Zhuge Liang who died before he succeeded, among the many advisers of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chuang also liked two people.
One is Lu Xun and Lu Boyan of the Eastern Wu, and the other is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao of Cao Wei.
However, he never expected that the counselor he admired very much had already included him in the enemy's sequence at this time. However, even if he knew, Liu Chuang would not care too much. Because now, he still has many more important things that need to be dealt with.
Taishici captured Jiaozhou Bay, which further increased Liu Chuang's momentum.
With the help of Zheng Xuan, Liu Chuang received support from Gaomi and Yi'an counties, and dominated the Weishui and Jiaoshui, becoming a force that the Beihai Kingdom should not be underestimated.
However, with Xu Yi's implementation of the military farming method, Liu Chuang faced another huge trouble.
The increase in refugees has gradually become scarce.
Moreover, as spring plowing is about to begin, farm tools, cattle, sheep and seeds have become huge problems that Liu Chuang has to face. Although Wang Xiu and Zuo Bo have been strongly supporting Gaomi and Yian, they can only maintain Liu Chuang's troops in the two places and cannot draw any extra strength. In this case, what crops to sow in spring plowing will become a key issue. A large number of people will inevitably cause a shortage of food. Although Liu Chuang has asked Mi Fang to be responsible for purchasing grain, in fact, it is only a drop in the bucket.
"I heard that there is a crop in Xichuan called Shushu, which produces a lot of production.
During the Yonghe period, Shuzui was introduced from Xichuan to Liangzhou and was successfully planted, which was quite popular in Guanzhong. This crop is easy to sow and has strong adaptability. If Mr. Liu is worried about food problems, it is better for someone to try planting Shuzui, and he may have an unexpected surprise."
"Shushu?"
Liu Chuang looked at Wang Xiu in confusion, a little confused.
He really wanted to promote some high-yield crops, but he really couldn't think of what to plant.
In my memory, crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes are very high in yields, but unfortunately they have not appeared in the mainland yet.
As for Shushu? What is that?
"Shu Shushu, also known as sorghum, is quite wide in the north."
Wang Xiujian couldn't explain clearly, so he simply found a piece of paper and drew a picture for Liu Chuang to identify it.
To be continued...
