Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 66
"Zhicai! What do you think of this weapon?"

Guo Fengxiao made a generous statement, waved his hand, his face was full of confidence.

Stand up and ask Xi Zhicai directly.

I... I still praise it, I swear! !
I can't speak for your behavior.

"No way!" He immediately snorted coldly, turned his head and stopped looking at Guo Jia.

Xu Zhen directly cupped his hands and said, "I don't want to drink, but brother can drink with brother Zhicai."

"It's a pity, the dozens of altars of fine wine presented by Mr. Cao are all here, but you don't drink it, you can only say it's a pity."

He really sighed, as if the expectation in his heart had been destroyed, especially the word "regret" at the end.

Use all your strength to spit it out from your mouth.

"Zhicai, Bowen, let's go to the table. Since no one is drinking, I will drink by myself."

"I can drink."

Dian Wei patted his chest. Although he didn't smell the aroma of the wine, he could see that the wine was clear and there was no residue called "green ants". It was probably similar to the wine he drank in Cao Cao's mansion.

Naturally, you can drink a few more glasses.

After saying this, Dian Wei took a look at Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen nodded calmly, and said: "Awei can drink, but don't be greedy, and take Kong Ming to practice martial arts at night."

Speaking of this, there was deep fear in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and his body trembled a little.

In terms of martial arts practice, he only saw his true face after following Xu Zhen for several days.

Every day after nightfall, Zhuge Liang closed the gate of the courtyard, and Xu Zhen would start practicing martial arts with a sword.

At first, Zhuge Liang thought it was only occasionally, and most of the time he must be reading.

Only by reading extensively can you have countless strategies in your heart.

But in the past few days, he found that this was not the case.

The prefect said to the outside world that he read the Spring and Autumn Period at night and never stopped every day.

But in fact, he performed a lot of martial arts at home, and he would only go to night reading in the middle of the night.

Incredibly hard.

Therefore, all the civil and military officials abroad only know that the prefect is diligent and caring for the people, and what they say... they will be loyal to their duties within the time limit.

In fact, it was even more terrifying when he returned to the house at night.

Even the days of rest and enjoyment are very clearly distinguished, so it is possible to improve steadily.

Whether it's Wenzhiwugong, you can earn something every day, day and night without stopping, how tired should you be after so many years of work?

Difficult to measure.

And even though he is only fifteen, his knowledge is not short, after all, he has seen Danyang soldiers perform martial arts, and he has seen a lieutenant general in the army.

He could understand that the martial arts of the prefect was actually almost the same as that of a fierce man like Dian Wei.

After Zhuge Liang figured it out, he also proposed to follow Xu Zhen's practice of both civil and military skills.

Because he believed it.

As long as he persists like this, he will definitely achieve something, and maybe he will be the same as the prefect in the future, comparable to a fierce man like Dian Wei.

So these two days began to be tortured by Dian Wei.

To the point where he is discouraged, ready to say that he is not good at martial arts, and studies hard.

"Little brother, have you ever drank alcohol?"

Guo Jia swept his eyebrows and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"I……"

Xu Zhen smiled, "He doesn't drink at all, and he is not allowed to drink in the future. He still needs to exercise every day to withstand the fatigue."

"Hmm..." Guo Jia took a deep look, but didn't say anything.

Xi Zhicai took the seat, first on the left.

Xu Zhen is in the first place on the right, and Guo Jia is in the main seat, waiting for the maid to serve the dishes, pushing the cups and changing the dishes.

After a few toasts.

Guo Jia took off the crown on his head and threw it on the copybook, letting his long hair flow freely, and his face gradually turned rosy.

But the eyes are still very lively, without any drunkenness.

But it was evident that he had reached a state of inebriation, perfect for talking.

So he looked at Xu Zhen and asked, "When the spring is approaching, Bowen will have a great responsibility."

Xu Zhen cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will marry Xiaopei."

"Tsk... not this one."

Guo Jia subconsciously glanced at Xi Zhicai.

After being speechless, he continued: "I mean, Li Jue and Guo Si are already in chaos. The advisers and generals under their command are divided into factions, and they are plotting against each other."

"I heard that Bowen has always dared to make judgments. Today's banquet is just a good time to discuss this matter. If it is available, I can report it to Duke Ming."

It was for this.

After Xu Zhen heard this, he actually understood it in his heart. Sure enough, he had already thought about it since Cao Cao gifted the house.

Xu Zhen also heard about Guo Jia's reaction at that time, and he was not ashamed to take property and accepted it calmly.

In fact, it's not because of greed by nature, nor is it because of cold nature, it's just that he already cares about it.

Therefore, it is advisable, if you take it, you can talk about repaying the favor. As for the other favors that the master will have in the future, a person like Guo Fengxiao is even willing to use his life to make the favor clear.

This is a man of great kindness and loyalty.

"Brother, do you have any news?"

"Let's go to Yuzhou first!" Guo Jia didn't procrastinate, and immediately replied: "In the spring of next year, two groups of troops will go to Runan and Peiguo respectively."

"As for Yingchuan, there is nothing to be afraid of. With the Xun family, the soldiers can go down when they come forward. If Xun Wen can arrange the officials and make the gentry take care of them, the rest of the gentry, such as the Chen, Zhang, Guo, and Zhong clans, will naturally follow Cao Ruliu. .”

"Guo family?" Xu Zhenwei had doubts, "Is your brother a member of the Guo family?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly, and did not shy away from this matter, saying: "I have no relatives in the lower side, and I don't belong to the family tree, so I don't count as a member of the Guo family."

Xu Zhen nodded clearly, "So that's the case, my brother is Pang Mailang."

"No wonder I had to go to Yuan Shao's place with Guo Tu and others."

Among the Yingchuan Guo clan, Guo Tu's status is equivalent to Xun's Xun Yu.

It's just that in Yuan Shaona, celebrities can really be said to gather, even Guo Tu can't be the real mastermind.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled down proudly, his expression was cold but a little arrogant, and he asked, "What does Bowen think of Guo Tu?"

Xu Zhen thought for a while, and said: "If the world's national scholars can enter the hall and enter the room, then Guo Jun should live in the verandah."

"What is a national scholar?" At this moment, Guo Jia's expression became a little more relaxed. He had heard too many words of praise for Guo Tu and others over the years, and every time he heard it, he secretly sneered.

So hearing what Xu Zhen said, I was delighted instead.

"If the strategy can be achieved, forget about the body, don't intrigue with conventional factions, and only focus on the great cause."

"Those who devote themselves to loyalty and sincerity will be national scholars. If half of their minds are devoted to fighting for fame and gain, they will naturally not do their best."

"In my opinion, most of Yuan Shao's advisers are like this. They seek profit and dare not fall behind. They will eventually suffer from it in the future."

"Haha!!" Guo Jia's eyes sparkled, and at this moment, he held the wine cup on the desk with both hands, and drank it directly.

"Bowen knows me!"

Xi Zhicai also had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly took a small sip.

Zhuge Liang nodded secretly, keeping Xu Zhen's words firmly in his heart.

"Since that's the case, Yuzhou has nothing to worry about. Yuan Shu has moved the focus of his troops to Yangzhou. There are not many defenders. Duke Ming was defeated again a year ago."

"Let Yuan Shu be frightened by the news. The battle between Kuangting and Fengqiu was so hearty. Thousands of elite cavalry and more than ten thousand troops can chase and kill for eight hundred miles. Yuan Shu's command is mostly thieves who are scattered and gathered. Coincidentally, these thieves Most of the troops were defeated by Duke Ming."

"Where the defeated army gathers, it is still the defeated army, and there is no army power. I dare to say that Yuzhou will be taken within two months of next year."

At this time, Xi Zhicai also smiled and said: "In this way, as long as someone recommends you, you can go west and approach Chang'an."

"I have sent spies to find this candidate."

Xu Zhen immediately made a decision and said with a smile: "Second brothers, if that's the case, I've already found the person, and the son and the general are already arranging."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai immediately looked at each other.

Quite pleasantly surprised.

Three people, a drink, can actually decide the next year's marching strategy.
