"Cao Mengde is leaving." Guo Jia shook the wine gourd and said with blurred eyes.
Xun Yu was sitting on one side, holding a book. When he heard this, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Well, what's wrong?"
"I want to take a look." Guo Jia said.
Xun Yu put down the slip and said, "But Dongjun is not a good place."
In Yanzhou, the Yellow Turban riots are very serious now. The sequelae of ignoring Dong Zhuo's previous attack are gradually showing up. Yanzhou is the main force in the jujube coalition, and the transferred soldiers from counties and counties have led to the reappearance of the Yellow Turban bandits of the Qingzhou generation in Yanzhou.
A chance to breathe.
Liu Dai's control of Yanzhou was weak, and the battle with the former governor Qiao Mao finally reached an irreconcilable stage. Liu Dai used the excuse of unfavorable military supplies to kill Qiao Mao, but everyone knows what happened.
, Therefore, the local nobles in Yanzhou were not very welcoming and cooperative with Liu Dai, so many times Liu Dai was passive. Even the scope and area of activity of the Yellow Turban thieves could not be mobilized in the first place due to various restrictions.
Learned...
Of course, after Qiao Mao's death, Liu Dai also appointed Wang Gong as the prefect of Dongjun. In addition, there was another one named Dong Zhuo, and now there is another one named Yuan Shao.
So Xun Yu solemnly said: "Although Cao Mengde is also quite majestic, he is somewhat innately deficient after all... So, are you sure?"
Xun Yu and Guo Jia had actually been in Jizhou for a while and met Yuan Shao, but they didn't show any sign, and of course Yuan Shao didn't show any sign either.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Shao already has a lot of counselors around him. Yuan Shao not only balances these counselors, but also relies on the mutual competition between these counselors to plan and expand. Now he has done a very good job. Who will replace him?
There is no way that Yuan Shao, from a second-generation official, not only captured the entire Jizhou, but also set his sights on Youzhou and Yanzhou in just one year...
Yuan Shao's strategic vision and world-devouring attitude are indeed very attractive.
But what did Cao Cao have?
Except for a few family brothers and some family soldiers, there was nothing.
Guo Jia put down the wine gourd and said, "Cao Mengde doesn't like Yuan Cheqi, and I happen to not like him very much either, so I'll just take a look..."
Xun Yu was silent and sighed slightly.
Yuan Shao, as a role model for the crowned clan in the world, naturally cannot condescend to do some small things. Otherwise, if he condescends too much, he will naturally lose his original majesty and magnanimity. This is naturally unacceptable to Yuan Shao.
However, Guo Jia is extremely talented. With high talents, he will inevitably have a very high spirit. Naturally, he is not willing to flatter Yuan Shao for a little salary. Of course, it is even more impossible to welcome Guo Tu or judge the match.
People like that.
Naturally, Guo Jia received a cold reception.
"Then how are you going?" Xun Yu asked.
Guo Jia laughed a few times, suddenly stood up, held up the wine gourd, and said drunkenly: "From now on, my surname is no longer Guo..."
× × × × × × × × ×
Cao Cao looked at the disheveled man up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"My surname is Xi, my name is Zhicai, and I am a businessman." Xi Zhicai, with disheveled hair and a strong smell of alcohol, said lazily.
"Xi Zhicai?" Cao Cao murmured and repeated. In the current concept of the Han Dynasty, most two-character names meant a nickname, and he was a businessman. "Does it have a character?"
"No words." Xi Zhicai replied.
Cao Cao couldn't help but glared.
Wei Jian on the side also frowned. He didn't care much about whether there were words or not, but for him who is a bit of a germaphobe, a sloppy appearance like Xi Zhicai simply made him feel a little disgusted, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Why?
Can it be wordless?”
These days, no word is more problematic than two-letter names.
Words are usually given by elders, mostly related to names, and also have the meaning of expressing wishes, blessings, etc. Without words, it means that there is either no teacher or family elders, and no matter which one it is, it means drama.
He is a wild character...
Xi Zhicai looked up to the sky and laughed, half jokingly and half seriously: "Ambition is as high as the sky, life is as thin as paper, so what is the use of ambition? It is better to have no ambition." Of course, one word for ambition is not the other, and of course everyone present understands it.
Wei Jian smiled slightly and said: "Jia Gu's disciples actually have ambitions?" A small businessman who appeared out of nowhere actually said that his ambitions were higher than the sky. This special target was just to tease me.
What?
Xi Zhicai rolled up his sleeves and said: "Tao Zhu Gong assisted the Yue King in lying down and tasting courage, so that he could destroy Wu; Lu Xiangguo helped his son Handan of Chu to sacrifice his daughter, and then he became the first emperor of Yingzheng. Are these two people without ambition?"
Wei Jian suddenly choked.
Cao Cao laughed, formed a circle for Wei Jian, and said, "You are indeed a wonderful man. Please take a seat."
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and sat down diagonally, but Cao Cao didn't care.
Cao Cao asked: "I wonder... uh, Zhicai, what do you want to sell when you come here this time?" Originally, he wanted to call him by a more affectionate name, but in the end, he had no word, so he had to call him by his first name.
"It's just pen and ink," Xi Zhicai said.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How should I describe this...?"
Xi Zhicai said lazily: "You can't survive even if you have a lot of hair."
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned forward slightly, and then asked: "What about Mo...?"
Xi Zhicai stretched out his hand and rubbed it in his arms, as if he was scratching lice, and he seemed to be rubbing some clay balls or something like that. Wei Jian, who was watching beside him, frowned, and then he said: "Mo Bei Si Ran,
Don’t be careless.”
Cao Cao didn't mind Xi Zhicai's rude behavior at all, he happily gave a high-five and said: "Wonderful!"
Immediately, Cao Cao said again: "Today there is a dispute in Dongjun, I wonder if you, sir, can give me some advice?"
"The mountains stand tall and the scenery stops." Xi Zhicai said slowly.
Cao Cao read it several times and then said: "Cao Cao is stupid and doesn't know what it means. Sir, can you explain it in detail?"
Xi Zhicai burst out laughing, scratched his tangled hair, and said, "Don't make fun of me, Mr. Cao... If you really don't know, why did you send people to publicize the Jinan incident?"
Cao Cao laughed twice and did not refute, but stood up, bowed to Xi Zhicai Chang solemnly on the ground, and said, "Cao Cao invites you to take up the post of Dongjun, please don't refuse!"
Xi Zhicai pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Can I have some wine?" Although he was talking about wine, he was actually talking about another thing...
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "If you can come, sir, there will definitely be good wine!"
"So..." Xi Zhicai stood up and bowed before Cao Cao, "Zhicai pays homage to Duke Cao!"
Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but did not notice that Wei Jian behind him lowered his head silently, hiding the cold light flowing out of his eyes...
Cao Cao escaped from the fire of Chibi and Guan Yu's sword, and finally rested in Nanjun.
Everyone drank to celebrate their escape, and Cao Cao suddenly burst into tears.
All the counselors asked: "The Prime Minister was escaping from the tiger's den, showing no fear at all, laughing all the way, but now he is crying bitterly?"
Cao Cao said: "I cry for Guo Fengxiao'er. Filial piety is filial piety. For all the countries in the world, for thousands of years, there is only one Fengxiao. How can a thousand or ten thousand other counselors be able to replace him?"
