Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 43 General stay behind, I'm going to make meritorious service.

"Hey, then I, then I'll go see him."

Xia Houyuan laughed cheerfully. In fact, he had already prepared the gift.

He was just waiting for a chance to meet Guo Yi, but now, in his opinion, the best chance is now.

In the evening, Guo Yi happened to be in the house, and Xia Houyuan arrived at the door in a carriage, and personally brought the gift to announce.

Informed himself of his purpose.

Soon Cao Yuan led Guo Yi out.

At this time, Guo Yi was sweating profusely. He was wearing a martial robe, with gauntlets on both hands. He gasped and cupped his fists and said, "General, I am practicing martial arts, so I can't meet you far away."

"Sir, you are really eager to learn."

Xia Houyuan's face turned serious, he admired it, and nodded secretly.

Great achievements are made in the body, and the Cao family is benevolent. Even so, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he keeps practicing.

This is not something everyone can do, and it is understandable if Guo Yi enjoys it.

He is already different from other advisers.

"Don't dare," Guo Yi nodded calmly, and made a "please" gesture.

The two quickly crossed the courtyard and sat down in the main hall. Cao Yuan asked the chef to bring food and served the wine and dishes.

Guo Yi was also good at talking. He chatted about the current autumn harvest in the army, and suddenly opened up the conversation box. Xia Houyuan gradually became talkative and told Guo Yi many things.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and there were endless sighs, all of which were emotions.

"You don't know," Xia Houyuan took a sip of wine, the skin on his thin face trembled for a moment, the bridge of his nose, which was slightly raised like a hook, wrinkled, and he thumped the table.

"Meng Yu's strategy of stationing the army this time has solved many urgent needs."

"When we defeated Xu Rong, we were ridiculed and ridiculed when we returned to the Allied Army. We laughed and drove us away. We had nowhere to go, so we had to borrow Yanzhou and occupy Dongjun."

"However, the food shortage in Dongjun County is extremely serious. I have a younger brother who died here, leaving behind a pair of sons and daughters. Yan and Yu suffered food disasters. In order to preserve his entrustment, I had to give them food. The youngest son... died of starvation."

When Xia Houyuan said this, his face became more sad, but there was a sense of determination in it, which was the maturity after bearing a heavy burden for a long time.

Guo Yi was slightly taken aback, as if he knew about this matter, but he didn't know who he heard it from, and he always felt that he should know about the pair of children mentioned in these words.

"General, alas, it's all over, but it's not as great as the general said. I just want to eat for myself. All soldiers need to have a full stomach in battle, and they still need dry food for marching. Some people even have to eat five people's meals. If you can't eat enough, you can't do it."

"Hmph..." Dian Wei, who was beside Guo Yi, snorted softly, and gave Guo Yi a sneaky look.

I eat enough for five people, but I can do things that ten people can't do!You are overqualified, let me guard the yard!
Guo Yi didn't notice it, and continued: "After the army was stationed, countless fields were reclaimed and cultivated. Even if the weather is not good and the harvest is not good in a certain year, there will be a harvest."

"In this way, there will not be many starvation in the territory, and the people will have their own manpower, and they will be prosperous within a few years."

"Farming is enough to be able to talk about business, and the foundation of wealth should be to have enough food."

"That's right," Xia Houyuan nodded slightly, put away the emotions just now, but at this moment he hesitated again, as if some words were hard to come out of his mouth.

Guo Yi saw it after watching for a while, and immediately asked with concern: "General Miaocai, what do you want to say?"

"Hmm..." Xia Houyuan was silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile, looked into the distance and said with emotion: "I have practiced martial arts for a long time, but I only have the merit of keeping it for a long time, but I have not been able to gain fame. Therefore, I came here to listen to Mr.'s words."

"Actually, I shouldn't ask you this question. It's best to ask the lord directly. But after thinking about it, I'd better come to pay a visit. After all, you have personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and now you are more intimate with me, Cao, so you should just...ask casually. Don't take offense, sir."

He was still very embarrassed.

For one thing, Guo Yi was almost ten years younger than him, so he was already a different generation. He and his nephew Cao Ang belonged to the same generation.

But I want to come to study and ask, I am a little ashamed to speak.

Secondly, there is a precedent for Cao Chun to ride tigers and leopards. He came to ask at this time, as if he was envious of other people's achievements.

In fact, there is only a little bit of greed, and most of them are envious, which is a kind of kind heart at any rate.

When Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was mentioned, Guo Yi understood his purpose of coming here, and of course he would not refuse.

After chatting with Xiahoudun the night before, I deeply analyzed the situation in Xuzhou with him. Because of his diligence in receiving and visiting, he received a lot of rewards for force and reason.

This is also the reason why Guo Yi has been diligent in practicing martial arts recently. He needs to digest the knowledge he has acquired and master the skills and force.

He should be rewarded for meeting Xia Houyuan now.

Everyone is different, probably related to the art they are good at.

Of course Guo Yi is willing to talk, it's like giving life counseling to lost generals, it can also be called psychological therapy.

If this is a livelihood job, it is much better than writing funeral essays to earn a bowl of rice.

In those days, who didn't almost starve to death.

It took Guo Yi several years to calm down and find his way, waiting for the opportunity to get to where he is today. If he hadn't set a clear goal, his mentality would have collapsed and he would have died in the wilderness by now.

"Uh, the general wants merit."

"I can talk about other things later. If it is a merit, it is actually not difficult. I just have a guess here, and I want to talk to the general."

Xia Houyuan's face brightened, he was just planning to try his luck and make friends with this young man whom his elder brother Xiahou Dun praised so much.

But he didn't expect that, as his brother said, he could actually get something. Guo Yi did have a plan to attack Xu.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan suddenly felt warm in his heart, stood up slightly and asked, "Please tell me!"

"If you help me, sir, I will be very grateful."

"It's serious, it's serious," Guo Yi immediately raised his hand, and waved it modestly, "General Miaocai doesn't need to be so polite. I'm working for the Lord, and I just want to do my best. This is the foundation of being a minister."

"General, how is your relationship with Zhang Miao?"

Xia Houyuan frowned, recalled for a moment, nodded and said: "It's not bad, it's not good, it's just that we know each other."

"General, let's read this letter." Guo Yi took out a letter from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan opened it and read it as he said, but found nothing strange, it was just a letter between Chen Gong and Zhang Miao greeting each other.

But there is no need for Guo Yi to say more, Xia Houyuan should read it a few more times, there must be something wrong with this letter, otherwise Guo Yi would not let him read it a few more times.

After looking at it several times, Xia Houyuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Guo Yi, "This time I mentioned that some relatives came to Yan recently and recommended Zhang Miao. I'm afraid there is something wrong here."

"We are going to attack Xuzhou today, when did you get this letter?"

Guo Yi said: "Just a few days."

"We found out that there was a messenger between Chen Gong and Chen Liu and Dong Jun. This is not noticeable in itself, but brother Zhicai and I have been staring at it for a long time, and finally it is here."

Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes.

Immediately, I felt awe in my heart, I was quite serious about this, and I gradually decided in my heart that there might be something really wrong with this person.

Dian Wei next to him stood silently after listening.

Anyway, it's none of his business. If he refuses to pick him up, someone will always pick him up. This general of Xiahou's family should stay in Yanzhou. I'm going to Xuzhou to make meritorious service.
