I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Although he didn't know why Guo Jia asked for information about Tao Qian and Liu Chong, Yang Hong still thought about it carefully in his mind, and then shook his head helplessly: "I'm really sorry, I didn't see the envoys sent by Tao Qian and Liu Chong in the rear general's mansion."

Although he could not get any useful information, after listening to Yang Hong's story, Guo Jia still pinched his chin and began to think, then laughed again: "They didn't send an envoy? It seems that things are getting more and more interesting."

With just this little bit of intelligence, Guo Jia had already obtained a lot of valuable information, and he instantly understood the situation in Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

"It's useless to stay any longer. It's time for me to start my journey home."

Guo Jia's words made Yang Hong very surprised: "Is Guo Jijiu leaving now?"

"Although I haven't had time to take action yet, the goal of the mission has been achieved. Why should I stay any longer? It's better to go back and report, and remind the lord to pay attention to the changes in Yuzhou."

There was a hint of desolation in Guo Jia's tone, which was a melancholy and regret that was hard to find in his opponent.

When Yang Hong saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyelids twitched, and he wanted to curse in his heart.

It’s really too pretentious!

But Yang Hong had to admit that Guo Jia's eccentric thinking and control over human nature really gave him a sense of mystery.

Every time he stood in front of Guo Jia, Yang Hong felt that his thoughts were completely seen through by him, making him feel uneasy.

Guo Jia thought for a moment and then gave another instruction: "Oh, by the way, if Yuan Shu asks you why I left, you should tell him that I left in anger because of his rudeness and neglect."

After saying this, Guo Jia waved his hand and served tea to see the guest off.

That evening, Yuan Shu received the news that Guo Jia had "left in anger". He was caught off guard by this unexpected news and even lost his temper with his advisers in the rear general's mansion: "You said we should let him go first before we can discuss the terms. Now he has left! If Wang Yuanxu raises an army to attack us because of this, who among you can resist?"

Seeing his advisers starting to bow their heads and act like cowards one by one, Yuan Shu became so angry that his three corpses jumped up and down, and his eyebrows were raised with rage.

To him, Guo Jia was after all an angel representing the emperor of Luoyang. Although Liu Xie's decrees could not even leave the Jiade Hall, the imperial court was still the common ruler of the Central Plains in name. As one of the various princes, Yuan Shu also urgently needed an official identity recognized by the imperial court.

You know, Yuan Shu's position as the rear general was conferred by Dong Zhuo in the past, and it feels a bit unjustified now. He still wants to negotiate terms with Guo Jia and ask for an official position in Luoyang, or even a title, so that he can have more status in the future.

Men all care about their reputation, and a flamboyant person like Yuan Shu pursues reputation more than substance.

Now that Guo Jia had left, he was in a very bad situation. He called all the counselors who had opposed meeting Guo Jia to his mansion and started scolding them. He wished he could slap each of them a dozen or twenty times to vent his anger.

Yang Hong was naturally among them, and he was scolded the worst.

There was nothing he could do. Who made Guo Jia leave as soon as he went to see him?
He had no way to argue with Yuan Shu and could only lower his head and be scolded. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was really not easy to be a traitor.

In his heart, Yang Hong began to pray that Yuan Shu would be defeated quickly so that he could legitimately join Wang Jing, his new lord with a brighter future.

After leaving Wancheng, Guo Jia headed north along the official road. When passing Kunyang, his carriage was unexpectedly intercepted.

The north wind was howling, and the shining swords were emitting bursts of cold light.

Guo Jia opened the curtain and half of his head stuck out of the car window. His eyes were like stars, and his tone was slightly frivolous: "Oh, Brother Gongtai, why are you so murderous? You and I have just met, and it is impolite to behave like this."

"You are still smiling even when facing death. Even I admire your courage, Guo Fengxiao of Yingchuan."

The person who spoke was a fierce general with a bow standing next to Chen Gong. He was tall and had eyes like an eagle, sharp and full of murderous intent.

Guo Jia took one look at the man and said with a smile, "You are a strong and powerful man, with long arms and good at using a longbow. I guess you must be Xiahou Miaocai in person, right?"

Xiahou Yuan was wearing armor. Hearing this, he was surprised and frowned: "Do you recognize me?"

At this time, he was just a cavalry captain under Cao Cao, and had not yet become famous or powerful.

On the other hand, Guo Jia was hailed as an unparalleled national hero by the world because he captured Ye City with a piece of paper. Xiahou Yuan never thought that Guo Jia actually knew him. It is not a good thing to be targeted by a genius. Yuan Shao is the best example.

Guo Jia glanced at Xiahou Yuan with a scrutinizing gaze, only to see that he was smiling without saying a word, with a calm expression on his face.

Chen Gong's face was gloomy, and his tone was grim: "The secret guards are indeed omnipresent. It seems that the entire Yuzhou is under Wang Jing's surveillance. But because of this, I can't let a dangerous person like you go back to help Wang Jing."

To deal with someone like Guo Jia, who was born in Yingchuan and was familiar with the internal situation in Yuzhou, whether capturing or killing him, in Chen Gong's view, was equivalent to cutting off Wang Jing's left and right arms.

"Alas, you even resorted to such mean acts as ambushing others on the way. Chen Gongtai, you claim to be a famous scholar in Yanzhou, but your temperament is so narrow. It is really better to meet in person than to hear about it. I have disappointed Jiada."

Guo Jia shook his head and sighed at Chen Gong, criticizing him, which made Chen Gong very angry and his murderous intent became even stronger.

Ever since he knew that Guo Jia had also come to Wancheng, Chen Gong had been secretly monitoring the post station and looking for opportunities. Now, after finally waiting for Guo Jia to leave Yuan Shu's territory, he immediately brought Xiahou Yuan here to intercept and kill him.

Xiahou Yuan admired Guo Jia's talent. He cast a sharp gaze on him and said in a cold voice, "My master values ​​talents. If you are willing to submit to him sincerely, Yuan can spare your life."

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and the black and white chess pieces kept moving between the fingers of his right hand. He said in a contemptuous tone: "General Fenwu is indeed a hero of the time. In the past, when the alliance was held to fight against Dong, the allied forces of the princes did not move their troops and lived in disgrace. Only Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai cared about the world and worked hard to eliminate the enemy. They are qualified to be called heroes."

Hearing Guo Jia praising Cao Cao so highly, Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed: "So you agreed?"

Guo Jia, however, threw the question to Chen Gong, showing a playful smile: "I don't mind, but I'm afraid Brother Gongtai will mind."

Xiahou Yuan was confused by Guo Jia's words: "Ah? Why would he mind?"

Guo Jia said in a teasing tone: "If I go and surrender, I'm afraid Brother Gongtai's position as military advisor will be lost."

Chen Gong had long known that Guo Jia was a man who could not be subdued by threats, so he did not bother to persuade him to surrender. His words were filled with cold murderous intent: "You dare to sow discord even when your life is at stake. Guo Fengxiao, do you really think I won't kill you? Or is it that your loyalty to Wang Jing makes you willing to die to prove your loyalty?"

No matter how dumb Xiahou Yuan was, he realized that he had been fooled. He immediately drew his bow and arrow, glaring at Guo Jia: "You are looking for death!"

"To kill someone for just a few words, this is really a decline of morals and human nature."

Guo Jia seemed to be unconcerned about the crisis at hand. His expression was carefree and lazy. He even had the mood to take out a pot of fine wine and take a few sips: "It's getting late. I have to continue on my journey. Let's say goodbye now."

"Want to leave? Can you leave!?"

Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he did not hold back any longer. He shot an arrow at Guo Jia's face, intending to take his life.

Flying Feather Arrow Sutra!

Thunder style!
When the bowstring moves, the sound is like thunder and the arrow is as powerful as thunder!
Xiahou Yuan was a first-rate warrior with great military prowess. With his two arms he could draw a nine-stone bow. With one arrow he could pierce the clouds and split the sky, with enough power to split mountains and rocks.

The arrow was like a comet hitting the moon, arriving in an instant and about to kill Guo Jia on the spot.

However, at this moment, a sword light fell from the sky like a swimming dragon.

Dang~
The sharp arrow that was as powerful as thunder breaking through the sky was finally shattered by the cold sword light, and the sound of thunder stopped abruptly.

The back door of the carriage opened at some point, and a solemn figure appeared behind Guo Jia at some point.

This person was not very tall, and could even be described as thin, but he looked sharp. His features were obscured by a mask, except for a protruding golden horn on his forehead, which showed that his identity and status among the secret guards were not simple.

Chen Gong's face turned cold: "A famous sword hangs on the sword, and you are a prominent figure. Are you the Wandering Dragon Sword Master?"

Shi A just stood there calmly, and the air seemed to freeze. He ignored Chen Gong and ordered calmly: "You guys take the military advisor and go first. I will stay behind to cover your retreat."

"Yes!" The accompanying secret guards stood silently behind Shi A, and the others escorted Guo Jia away.

That attitude and that look were simply arrogant. He didn't take Xiahou Yuan and the elite Cao troops he brought with him seriously at all.

"How dare you look down on me like this? You really don't know how to live or die!"

Xiahou Yuan had a bad temper to begin with, and seeing Shi A behaving like this, how could he tolerate it?
He immediately ordered an attack on the spot, vowing to kill Shi A and Guo Jia to vent his anger.

"Formation."

Facing the aggressive soldiers of Cao Cao's army, Shi A showed no fear and gave orders in a cold voice.

Then the sword in his hand flashed, and he blocked three armor-piercing heavy arrows shot by Xiahou Yuan in anger, but his body was also shaken back several steps by the huge impact force.

clang~ clang~ clang~
Shi A was not a strong warrior, but he still used his extraordinary body skills to deflect the powerful impact from the arrow.

However, Xiahou Yuan was no pushover. He had mastered the "Flying Feather Arrow Sutra" to a very high level, and even with his extraordinary martial arts aptitude, he was able to combine the Xunfeng Arrow and the Zhenlei Arrow into one. When he shot an arrow, wind and thunder followed, and it was swift, violent and unstoppable.

Although Shi A used his feet to dissipate the force, the sword in his hand still made a soft hum.

"Good aim, good arm strength, and good skills."

After a heartfelt exclamation of admiration, Shi A was seen walking in a snake-like manner, like a swimming dragon, which made it difficult for Xiahou Yuan to lock his position. Shi A took the opportunity to activate the internal mechanism of the Hundred Blades Machine Box behind him and fired hidden weapons continuously to fight back.

Flying nails came like rain, and their surface glowed faintly blue under the sunlight, obviously coated with a deadly poison.

Xiahou Yuan had amazing eyesight. Seeing this, his face suddenly changed. He quickly dropped his bow and drew his sword, blocking the attack again and again while cursing, "You despicable villain, you actually wanted to hurt me with a hidden weapon!"

Shi A sneered: "You use bows and arrows, I use hidden weapons, who is more noble?"

On the battlefield, morality is never a question, only life and death are considered.

In the crowd, Shi A was in command. Although he was small in number, he relied on tacit cooperation and the power of the White Ape Sword Formation to successfully help Guo Jia break through, and blocked Xiahou Yuan's pursuit several times.

Upon hearing the news that Guo Jia had escaped danger, Shi A fought and retreated, crossed the Yingshui River and entered the territory of the State of Chen.

Xiahou Yuan wanted to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by Chen Gong: "Miaocai, don't chase us anymore. The territory ahead is the territory of Chen Wang Liu Chong. He is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has great ambitions. I'm afraid he won't welcome us."

Liu Chong was extremely brave, good at using bows and crossbows, and had superb archery skills. He also had a treasure like the Golden Crossbow of Destroying Law in his hand. Even the four beasts of Heyin that were wreaking havoc in Yuzhou did not dare to provoke him.

Although Liu Chong was unknown and insignificant in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

But in Yuzhou at that time, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao had to stand aside, and Liu Chong was the top leader. Since the Zhongping period when Emperor Ling Liu Hong was still in power, Liu Chong already had thousands of powerful crossbows. In order to deal with the Yellow Turban Rebellion at that time, he recruited soldiers from all over the country, stationed them in Duting, and guarded the State of Chen. He had more than 100,000 people under his command.

Neither Cao Cao nor Chen Gong wanted to provoke this powerful neighbor to the west of Xu County right now. That would be seeking death.

"He got away like this. I'm so angry!"

Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he swung his sword wildly. This time he led the team out personally, intending to capture and kill Guo Jia and bring him back to present to Cao Cao, so as to make a name for himself.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, I still missed a move and failed.

Chen Gong was also quite helpless about this: "It is inevitable that there are some unsatisfactory aspects of the temporary layout. It is a pity that this opportunity wasted. It will be difficult to kill someone as smart as Guo Fengxiao in the future."

As a strategist, it is a rare opportunity for Guo Jia to be alone outside. The failure of this assassination will inevitably make the other party more alert, and it will be more difficult for him to take action again in the future.

…………

Huaiyang, Chen Wang Mansion.

Guo Jia was feasting with Chen Wang Liu Chong and Prime Minister Luo Jun.

With fine wine and delicious food, singing, dancing and beautiful women to entertain him, Guo Jia, who had never been willing to compromise on his enjoyment, naturally let himself go and enjoyed himself.

Liu Chong glanced at Guo Jia who was flirting with the singer, and especially at Guo Jia's overly young face, he didn't believe at all that the person in front of him was the unparalleled national hero and genius military strategist as rumored, who had captured Yecheng with a piece of paper and caused chaos in Jizhou alone.

Luo Jun saw the suspicion in Liu Chong's eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate Guo Fengxiao. What kind of person is Qi Hou Wang Jing? How could he appoint a mediocre person as the military advisor?"

The position of military advisor has existed since ancient times, and the title of Jijiu means "chief".

The fact that Guo Jia was able to be named the "chief" among the many counselors under Wang Jing's command shows how brilliant and unparalleled he was in terms of strategy.

Liu Chong sighed in his heart. Although he didn't quite believe that Guo Jia was really as unpredictable as the rumors said, he didn't dare to question Wang Jing's vision.

After all, at this time, Wang Jing was truly the number one prince in the world. He controlled the capital, held three states, and had tens of thousands of soldiers. He was invincible in every battle. No one among the heroes could stop him.

Especially to the north of Chen State, there were two powerful generals, Guan Yu and Jiang Qin, and an army of 20,000 stationed there, eyeing Yuzhou covetously. They were like a sword hanging over Liu Chong's head, making him unable to sleep or eat, and very annoyed.

If I had known this would happen, I should have kept Wang Jing in Chen State at all costs. With his help, wouldn't it be a great help to my cause of restoring the Han Dynasty?
Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed. Now Wang Jing has become a powerful figure, and the small State of Chen can no longer accommodate this invincible god of war.

So when Liu Chong heard that Guo Jia passed by the State of Chen, he immediately held a banquet to entertain him warmly. Later, when he learned that Guo Jia had been assassinated in Kunyang, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

As a result, Liu Chong disregarded etiquette and cursed Cao Cao and Chen Gong on the spot.

In the current Yanhan Dynasty, who doesn't know that Guo Jia is the military strategist appointed by Wang Jing?
Moreover, Guo Jia was Wang Jing's close friend, and he was carrying the imperial edict, and he was an angel. If such an important person died in Yuzhou, Wang Jing would be furious, and Yuzhou would inevitably end up with a river of blood, not to mention millions of corpses.

The State of Chen was the first to be hit because of its geographical location.

If Wang Jing's army really approaches, as the King of Chen, I will be responsible for defending the land and the people as per the inheritance passed down by my ancestors. Will I defend the land or not?
For this reason, Liu Chong, the King of Chen, cursed Cao Cao and Chen Gong's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, saying that they were such troublemakers.

If you want to die, just hang yourself. Why do you want to drag me down with you?
As for Guo Jia, Liu Chong treated him as a hot potato and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid him really dying in Yuzhou and being held responsible.

Seeing that Guo Jia was having a great time and had no intention of leaving Huaiyang, Liu Chong anxiously signaled to Prime Minister Luo Jun to quickly find a way to get rid of the plague god in front of them.

But what could Luo Jun do?
But since his lord had given the order, he could only bite the bullet and test Guo Jia's words, and asked cautiously: "Guo Jijiu was on a diplomatic mission to Wancheng, and now he has returned, shouldn't he go back and report to Marquis Qi as soon as possible?"

Guo Jia was holding Mei Ji in his arms, holding a glass of fine wine, and was half drunk. Upon hearing this, he smiled mockingly: "Why, is the Prime Minister going to chase me away?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Luo Jun didn't want to offend Guo Jia, and he didn't dare to offend Wang Jing, so he could only smile and said, "I'm just worried that if Guo Jijiu returns late, it will anger Qi Hou."

"Oh, could it be that in the eyes of the Prime Minister, my master's tolerance is so narrow?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

How could Luo Jun dare to admit what Guo Jia said? He was so frightened that his breathing became rapid. It could be said that there were people in this world who dared to speak ill of Wang Jing, but he, Luo Xiaoyuan, was definitely not one of them.

Otherwise, if someone accidentally told Wang Jing the news, would he still be alive?
Seeing Luo Jun's embarrassed face, Guo Jia stopped teasing him and comforted him, "Prime Minister, don't be so nervous. I was just joking. You are sweating in this winter. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Hearing this, Luo Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly complained about Guo Jia's bad taste: How dare you say that? I don't dare to laugh.

Luo Jun was also shocked. He could not even handle Guo Jia's words. His emotions and thoughts were completely controlled. His reputation as a genius was well-deserved. (End of this chapter)
