Guo Jia, led by Gao Lin, walked straight into the camp where Gao Fei was. Gao Fei was the only one in the camp.
"Lord, my subordinates have brought Guo Jia."
Gao Fei nodded, waved his hand towards Gao Lin, motioning for him to retreat, and at the same time ordered: "No one is allowed to come in without my order."
Gao Lin turned around and left the tent, staying outside the tent while lowering the tent's roller blinds.
After Guo Jia came out of Shisun Mansion, he was taken out of the city by Gao Lin and hid outside the city. It was not until Gao Fei led his troops to station the army in the northeast corner that he returned to Gao Fei's camp at dusk.
Gao Fei leaned forward, stretched out his hand to push the wine that had been poured in front of him, looked at the calm Guo Jia in front of him, and said directly: "Fengxiao, please sit down!"
Guo Jia was not polite, walked over, sat opposite Gao Fei, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you kill me, general?"
Gao Fei smiled but did not answer, only pointed at the wine glass in front of Guo Jia and said slowly: "Please drink this glass to the full, and I will talk to you in detail later."
Guo Jia picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. As soon as the spicy wine entered his throat, he choked and coughed several times. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands and said with great embarrassment: "General, don't blame me, this is Xiao Ke's first time drinking.
.”
Gao Fei felt a little happy when he saw that Guo Jia had a delicate appearance and a thin body, and that the arrogance he had in the hall of Shisun Mansion during the day was completely gone, replaced by elegance. He raised his wine glass,
Drink it all in one gulp, put down the glass
At that time, he slowly said: "It's easy to get angry during the day, and I had no choice but to take this step. You slandered me in front of so many civil and military ministers. What are your intentions? Who asked you to do this? You
Whose retainer is he?"
Guo Jia laughed and said: "Fengxiao is just a commoner. Not long after he arrived in Luoyang, he infiltrated the imperial family's house. It was just to please the public and gain a reputation. He was not that person's disciple and had no intention. He was just making random nonsense."
"Haha, the Shisun Mansion is always heavily guarded, and the people who are invited to the banquet are all rich or noble. If there is no post from the Shisun Mansion, how can you get in?"
"The general is overly worried. There is a dog hole in the back wall of Shisun Mansion. Xiao Ke climbed in through the dog hole and was almost bitten by the dog. It is not what the general said."
Gao Fei saw that Guo Jia no longer had the madness and naivety of the day. Looking at the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, what he saw in Guo Jia was that he was unusually calm, and his manner of speaking was also very calm.
He is very well-educated, and he is completely different from the Guo Jia he met for the first time.
Gao Fei picked up the jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and poured another cup for Guo Jia. When he put the jug down, he said softly: "I heard someone said that you once worked as a servant in Yuan Shao's Taiwei Mansion.
Guest, is this happening?"
"The general's information is really well-informed. It has only been more than an hour since Shisun's Mansion. The general was able to find out that I was a retainer in Yuan Shao's manor. Xiao Ke is really impressed."
Guo Jia was calm and answered fluently, which Gao Fei admired very much.
"As long as it is what I want to know, there is no news I can't get. I heard that before Dong Zhuo invaded Luoyang, you scolded Yuan Shao, so you were expelled from the Taiwei Mansion by Yuan Shao, and you have been living on the streets since then. But this time
thing?"
"Since the general has already found out everything, why bother asking more questions?"
Gao Fei raised the wine glass and put it to his mouth, his eyes always looking at Guo Jia opposite him, and he kept thinking in his heart: "Yuan Shao is generous on the outside and taboo on the inside, Guo Jia is a commoner, and he is an unknown person. Guo Jia once abused him
Yuan Shao, according to Yuan Shao's character, will definitely kill Guo Jia. But
, but Yuan Shao only expelled Guo Jia from the Taiwei Mansion, and that was it. As a result, Guo Jia became famous in Luoyang City for a while, but then he suddenly disappeared. People often saw him in various streets and alleys, but they said
I don’t know where he is. Is it to avoid Yuan Shao’s pursuit?”
After drinking the wine with a gulp, Gao Fei slowly placed the wine glass on the table, but secretly continued to think: "No, if Yuan Shao really wants to kill someone, no matter where that person is hiding, he will be found.
, it can be seen that Yuan Shao did not issue an order to kill Guo Jia, but according to Yuan Shao's character, someone insulted him, but he did not kill that person, which seems a bit unreasonable..."
"General, are you wondering why Yuan Shao didn't kill me in the first place?"
Gao Fei's hand had already touched the table. When he suddenly heard Guo Jia's question, he was startled. The wine glass he was holding was accidentally tilted by him. He raised his eyelids, glanced at the young man in front of him, and thought to himself
Said: "The genius Guo Jia, at such a young age, can see through my mind. This wisdom is really not simple."
Holding up the wine glass, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Gao Fei's mouth and asked: "Do you have anything to explain to me?"
Guo Jiadao: "Since the general asked, Xiao Ke naturally has to explain. Although Xiao Ke is young, he has a wide circle of friends. Many of the disciples in Yuan Shao's mansion are familiar to Xiao Ke, such as Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Pang Ji, etc.
Xin Pi, Chen Lin, etc. are all friendly with Xiao Ke, so under their persuasion, Yuan Shaocai did not kill me, but expelled me from the Taiwei Mansion."
"That's it?" Gao Fei asked while pouring wine.
Guo Jia said calmly: "That's all."
"Yuan Shao is indecisive and there are many advisers around him. It is indeed possible. It seems that I am too worried." Gao Fei raised his wine glass and said to Guo Jiaqi, "You showed up in Shisun Mansion today not just for fame, right? When it comes to reputation, you
You were already famous throughout the city when you were abusing Yuan Shao. You didn't say your name at that time and just called yourself the young grandpa. Of course, the civil and military ministers don't know who you are. I want to know your purpose of doing this."
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Can't you guess that General Gao is very talented and has great strategies? I deliberately slandered the general, but the general did not change his expression and easily turned his disadvantage into an advantage. Xiao Ke admired this very much. The general only used
a little plan
The talent that can be deceived by the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty is extraordinary. I once heard that Cao Cao of Yanzhou was called the traitor in troubled times. I originally planned to seek refuge with him, but after meeting the general today, I realized that Cao Cao was nothing more than that.
.”
"Oh? Are you planning to come to me and deliberately attract my attention?" Gao Fei picked up the wine glass, drank the third glass of wine, and asked calmly.
"That's right! I came here to seek refuge with the general." Guo Jiayi said sternly, "Although Cao Cao is a traitor, he cannot see the situation clearly. Compared with the general, he is naturally inferior."
"How do you say this?" Gao Fei asked.
Guo Jia slowly explained: "Dong Zhuo defeated Hulao. Cao Cao went straight to Aocang but did not come to Luoyang. This was his mistake. Aocang is a major grain-harbouring area for the entire Sili army. How could it not be guarded by heavy troops?
. Even Yuan Shao knew to attack Luoyang, but he insisted on going to Aocang. This is unwise. Compared with the general who plays with the heroes in his hands, it is naturally a bit worse."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "It seems that you don't understand Cao Cao, and your analysis is only one-sided. In fact, Cao Cao knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains because his army was almost running out of food. If there was no more food and grass, his army would
Thirty thousand troops will starve to death. Luoyang is important, but what can he think of?
Well, others can also imagine that instead of competing for who can enter Luoyang first, it is better to abandon Luoyang and go straight to Aocang. Once he obtains Aocang's food and grass, he will have enough food and grass to firmly control the food and grass in his own hands.
In order to control the lifeline of the entire coalition, this is the real Cao Cao!"
After hearing this, Guo Jia's expression changed and he frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Gao Fei could spy on Cao Cao's intentions, and even he couldn't spy on them. He was a little puzzled and asked casually.
: "Since the general knows the key to Aocang and knows Cao Cao's intentions, why not seize Aocang before Cao Cao does? Once he controls the entire Aocang, doesn't the general hold the lifeblood of the coalition in his hands?
?”
"Let me tell you the truth..." Gao Fei drank his fourth glass of wine, and when he put down the glass, he said slowly, "This is the truth that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Luoyang is the capital of the capital."
, the princes who enter Luoyang first will definitely be able to claim credit in front of His Majesty.
Being the first to expel Dong Zhuo was the key reason why many princes fought over their heads to come to Luoyang. However, no one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would be taken away by Dong Zhuo in advance. Do you regret not joining Cao Cao now?
Have you come to seek refuge with me?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said loudly: "No! I am with General Ding. Since the general can see through Cao Cao's actions, it means that the general's intelligence is far superior to Cao Cao. I, Guo Fengxiao, have always been pretentious, but I have always been unrecognized for my talents. I thought
Once you enter Taiwei's Mansion, you will gain some merit.
However, Yuan Shao is not a person who has achieved great things, so I came out and asked for news everywhere in the streets and alleys of Luoyang. I visited the Ming Dynasty masters. I can meet the general today, and my talents are not in vain. I sincerely ask the general to take him in.
, Fengxiao will be used by the general all his life, and he will never have second thoughts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia kowtowed to Gao Fei, speaking sincerely and impassionedly.
Gao Fei was naturally happy, got up in a hurry, walked to Guo Jia, helped Guo Jia up, and said happily: "I have to be a filial piety, just like Jiang Ziya!"
Guo Jia compared himself with Jiang Taigong and gave himself the nickname Little Taigong. When he heard Gao Fei address him in this way, he was naturally happy. Even though he was happy, Guo Jia did not forget to recommend his friends and immediately said: "
My lord, I have several old friends who are gathered in Luoyang City now, and they are all looking for the Ming Lord. I would like to recommend them to my lord, but I wonder if my lord can take them in?"
Gao Fei lacked talents. When he heard Guo Jia speak like this, he nodded heavily: "Of course I will take him in. Please recommend me as many of your friends as possible!"
Guo Jiadao: "The people recommended by Xiao Ke are naturally people with strategy and intelligence. Otherwise, Xiao Ke would not make friends with them. These people are all celebrities, even more famous than Xiao Ke. I will go to the city right away.
Bring these friends and come together to pay homage to the Lord."
Gao Fei said: "Okay, okay, I'll ask Gao Lin to escort you into the city. It's already dark now. Luoyang City appears to be very peaceful, but in fact, there is murderous intent hidden in the secret. If no one protects you, I won't worry."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, my lord, I will take them all out of the city right now."
"Gao Lin!" Gao Fei shouted outside the door, "You escort Feng Xiao into the city, and you won't leave him at all. You can't let him make any mistakes."
Gao Lin walked in, cupped his fists and said, "No!"
Gao Fei personally sent Gao Lin and Guo Jia out of the tent and watched them disappear into the night. He turned back to the tent and shouted loudly: "Two military advisors, you can come out now."
As soon as the voice fell, Jia Xu and Xun You walked out from behind a rolling curtain, clasping their fists together and saying, "See my lord!"
"No courtesy!" Gao Fei walked up to Jia Xu and Xun You and asked, "How is it? How about this young man named Guo Jia?"
Jia Xu said: "Guo Fengxiao is so resourceful at a young age. He is indeed a rare talent. It seems that he will become an important counselor in the Lord's account in the future."
Xun You also praised him and said: "This man is a talented person. If he assists the lord, he will definitely make the lord even more powerful than a tiger."
Gao Fei laughed and said: "The doubts of the two gentlemen can be put to rest. It seems that Guo Jia was not specially sent by Yuan Shao. By the way, Xu Huang, how is Wei Yan's injury?"
Xun You said: "It's nothing serious. You just need to rest. Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, and Wenpin have all been arranged. Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are also patrolling day and night with their troops. Nothing will happen for the time being. It's just not
Do you know if other princes will fight to the death in the palace?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "The palace is already empty. All the eunuchs and maids have come out. Besides, the news has been released. There will definitely be a small number of troops from various princes gathered in the palace tonight. It seems that waiting for Lu Bu
After we return, we can go back to Youzhou."
The three of them planned some things for each other before they separated. Gao Fei was waiting alone in the camp, drinking and reading Sun Tzu's Art of War. He felt that Sun Tzu's Art of War was indeed a masterpiece, and the more he read, the more excited he became, and the more he read about himself.
The wider my horizons, even though it only has more than 5,000 words, when I truly appreciate it, I will have endless aftertaste.
I don't know how long I had been reading when Gao Lin's voice came from outside: "See my lord, Guo Jia has returned with several gentlemen."
Gao Fei hurriedly asked Gao Lin to invite a few people into the big tent. When he saw Guo Jia coming in with four people of different ages, he hurriedly said: "Gentlemen, please take a seat!"
Guo Jia and other five people paid homage together and said, "Thank you, Lord!"
As soon as they sat down here, Guo Jia introduced: "My lord, these are my friends. They are Xu You from Nanyang, Xun Chen from Yingchuan, Zhong Yao, and Cui Yan from Qinghe."
When Gao Fei heard the names of these four people, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Welcome to the four gentlemen!"
Xu You, Xun Chen, Zhong Yao, and Cui Yan bowed together and said: "We pay homage to your lord. From now on, we are willing to follow your lord and let him drive you."
