The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 250

It was full of guests and all the seats were filled. In the spacious lobby, the guests sat in two rows. Before the official banquet started, Diao Chan hugged her daughter beside Guo Jia to receive congratulations from the guests. After that, she and Zhen Jiang Cai Yan went to the room where the female relatives were next door.

The delicacy is right in front of you. Guo Jia sat on the main seat with a smile on his face. He first raised his wine glass and wanted to say some toasts. He just opened his mouth and didn't utter a word, but everyone present saw Guo Jia in a daze. look.

The expectant guests followed Guo Jia's gaze and looked out of the hall. Guo Ye and Guo Jin walked in with two middle-aged men. Guo Jia's eyes were fixed on the elegant and gentle man in blue shirt. body.

"Ten years have passed by in a flash, my lord, do you still remember?"

The man in the blue shirt stepped into the hall and bowed respectfully to Guo Jia, and then bowed apologetically to the guests in the two rows on the left and right.

Kang dang
Guo Jia's wine glass fell to the table, and he didn't notice that the wine splashed on him, or he didn't care.

Standing up from the main seat with a joyful and complicated expression, Guo Jia walked towards that person.

The female guests who were secretly observing the movement next door were very curious when they saw Guo Jia's behavior.

Zhen Tuo poked his head, frowned and asked, "Who is that man?"

They have never seen anyone who can make Guo Jia lose his temper.

Only a few people in this room could recognize that person.

Cai Yan sighed playfully with a smile: "Yes, it turns out that ten years have passed."

Da Qiao stood beside her, smiled softly and said, "He is your confidant in this life."

Xiao Qiao nodded viciously at the side, and tiptoed to get a glimpse of that person's demeanor from the sight blocked by the sisters of Zhen's family, whether he is still as elegant and suave as before.

Zhen Mi, who was in her prime, huddled beside her sisters, and said curiously: "Your confidant? You have never heard of such a person before."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Mi noticed that the three sisters, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, and Zhen Rong cast teasing glances at her.

"Hey, when did Fifth Sister know brother-in-law so well? Who does brother-in-law know? Does Fifth Sister really care?"

"Is Fifth Sister holding grudges? My brother-in-law did hug you and change your clothes when you were young, but that was all when you were young, and you also peed on your brother-in-law, so it seems that your brother-in-law has suffered."

"Fifth Sister... Hey, don't cry, my brother-in-law thought it was me who bullied you when he saw it. It's obviously the second and third sisters."

……

Zhen Mi lowered her head with red eyes and was embraced by Da Qiao with a smile.

"Sister, if I'm not mistaken, he is my husband's best friend in Yingchuan, isn't he in Xuchang? What's the purpose of coming here this time?"

Zhen Jiang looked sad, she knew deeply that the last thing Guo Jia wanted to see in this life was to be an enemy of the person in front of him.

Cai Yan smiled lightly and said nothing.

Wang Zuozhi's talent is only a minister.

Guo Jia's opponent is a hero, not a minister.

Wu Cheng and Mi Zhen on the side didn't join in the fun by the crack of the door, they greeted the wives of other officials, talked about romance among the women, and didn't care about the men's affairs.

"Wen Ruo, do you hate me?"

Guo Jia's expression was extremely complicated, and there were even crystal tears in his eyes.

At this moment, thousands of words gushed out from the bottom of his heart, and choked up in his throat, like a child who did something wrong, looking forward to tolerance and understanding.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu are like brothers and fathers in Guo Jia's eyes. When Guo Jia's life was at its lowest point and when he was most helpless, they were the ones who supported Guo Jia. The move to understand did not lead Guo Jia to the path of depression and indulgence.

Guo Jia's self-reliance, although he is currently a Hanchen, Xun Yu, who knows him best, certainly doesn't think so.

Is this a kind of betrayal?
Anyway, Guo Jia knew that he had failed Xun Yu's expectations of him.

"Feng Xiao, you and I have different ways and do not seek each other, but you are still my confidant. You and I are just pursuing differences in ambition, so why complain?"

Xun Yu smiled and was extremely sincere.

The confrontation between camps should be endless, but Xun Yu does not hate Guo Jia. If a friend can realize his ideal, he, as a bystander, will be sincerely happy. However, Guo Jia's ideal is not what Xun Yu wants to see, so , even if he has conflicts in his heart, it does not affect the friendship between the two.

There are very few perfect things in the world, and it is just a delusion to want everyone to be happy.

The tension in Guo Jia's heart dissipated, and what he was most worried about was that the two would turn against each other because they were their masters.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xiao Ren, and Xiao Yi came to Guo Jia holding wine glasses. Gao Shun just came over with tea, and Xu Chu picked up another glass of wine from the plate carried by the servant beside him and handed it Xun Yu, after Xun Yu took over, Xu Chu said to Xun Yu with a solemn expression: "Mr. Xun Ling, Luoyang needed your timely help ten years ago, and we were able to protect the lord from danger. Thank you for your kindness. Today Xu A toast to you."

Gao Shun raised his teacup and said, "Substitute tea for wine, let's talk about our heart."

Xun Yu smiled and respected the five people across the air, drank the wine in his glass, looked at Guo Jia again, and said with a smile, "Don't Feng Xiao want to get drunk with me?"

Guo Jia laughed heartily, held Xun Yu's arm and walked towards the main seat. Xiao Ren took the initiative to give up the seat closest to the main seat to Xun Yu.

Everyone in the hall who did not know Xun Yu was shocked.

Guo Jia's gaffe, and the respect these generals in the army showed Xun Yu, were beyond their expectation!
If Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Tai were here, almost all the people at the top of the Guo Jia Group would respect Xun Yu.

In terms of friendship, in fact, only Guo Jia and Xun Yu are siblings. Xu Chu and the others were nothing more than Xun Yu's assistance in Luoyang back then. The glass of wine was thank you wine.

Looking back now, if Xun Yu hadn't helped Guo Jia, Guo Jia might have died in Luoyang, and he would never have become Cao Cao's enemy. If Xun Yu had known today, would he have rescued Guo Jia? , his answer is always only one.

"Wen Ruo, the person behind you is a fierce general under Cao Mengde's command?"

Guo Jia has good eyesight. When he saw the majestic man who followed Xun Yu every step of the way, with piercing eyes, a resolute expression, and an admirable majestic body, such a man would not be unknown.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "He is Cao Hong."

Cao Hong, Cao Hong who fought with Cao Cao in the South and North!
A general who regards Cao Cao as a god!

A person who said "the world can live without me, Cao Hong, but not without Cao Cao"!
Cao Hong didn't change his face, no matter how Guo Jia would treat him when he knew his identity, he would not panic.

He can stand firm and fearless in the big scene of thousands of troops. Today, he has been able to make a mountain collapse in front of him without changing his face.

"Please take a seat."

Guo Jia would not do anything that would be unfavorable to Cao Hong. The two armies were at war and would not be beheaded. What's more, after the Guanzhong War ended, he and Cao Cao had entered a temporary period of peace.

The visitor is a guest, Cao Hong's arrival should not be aimed at Guo Jia, but only to protect Xun Yu.

After all, the road from Xuchang to Chengdu was not guaranteed to go smoothly. With Cao Hong escorting him, Xun Yu's safety was guaranteed. From this, it can be seen that Cao Cao allowed Cao Hong to be Xun Yu's bodyguard, which shows the importance he attaches to Xun Yu.

Xiao Yi also gave up his position to Cao Hong. Now, Xun Yu and Cao Hong were really honored by Guo Jia.

"Everyone, this one is Xun Yu, and Cao Hong is beside him."

Guo Jia casually introduced the two to everyone in the hall.

From the overall situation, Xun Yu and Cao Hong are branded by Cao Ying. It is impossible for Guo Jia to praise them in front of Yizhou officials, and there is no need. What others think of Xun Yu and Cao Hong is actually not important.

But Xun Yu, who has the reputation of Wang Zuozhi's talent, obviously surprised everyone in the hall.

Even Qin Mi stared at Xun Yu for a long time.

In Yizhou, most of them are famous for the talents of the Central Plains but have never met, and Xun Yu's name has already been heard.

Behind every successful prince, there must be one or even a group of low-key and pragmatic wizards.

Xun Yu's ability may not be in leading troops to fight, but his foresight and overall situation are unmatched by anyone in the world.

If Cao Cao did not have Xun Yu, perhaps he would not have the foundation for the rise of the Central Plains today.

Cao Cao, who was left with only three counties left by Lu Bu's surprise attack, already had the idea of ​​defecting to Yuan Shao. It wasn't for Xun Yu and Cheng Yu who supported Cao Cao and made Cao Cao regain his confidence to fight back against Lu Bu.

Xun Yu is a staunch supporter of relying on the emperor to order the princes. Cao Cao's ancient strategy enables Cao Cao to stand on the political commanding heights and suppress dissidents, gradually becoming stronger.

The prudent Xun Yu is Cao Cao's best helper who can relieve his worries and lead the army.

From another point of view, after the death of Xun Shuang, who was ranked third, Xun Yu joined Cao Cao, which is actually a weather vane.

Since ancient times, Yingchuan has many talents, and the leading family of the contemporary Central Plains gentry is the Xun family. Whether it is the Xun family's eight dragons or the successors Xun Chen, Xun Yu, Xun You, etc., they not only carry the banner of the Xun family, but also control Following the movement of the gentry in the Central Plains, the Xun family joined Cao Cao, and what Cao Cao got was not only Xun Yu, the talent of Wang Zuo, but also "my son's house".

This point, just like when Qin Mi joined Guo Jia in the past, is an example, a role model, and what affects the overall situation is not the small details.

Guo Jia is an outsider to Yizhou. Yizhou officials don’t know much about Guo Jia’s past. They don’t know who Guo Jia’s friends were when he was young, and what Guo Jia did when he was young is unknown to outsiders. little things.

Today, they know that Guo Jia and Xun Yu are best friends.

One is a monarch and the other is a minister, but they are in different camps.

In the eyes of Qin Mi and others, it was a pity.

Yes, if Xun Yu can assist Guo Jia, Guo Jia will be even more powerful, and if he can become a hegemon in the future, this pair of master ministers may be a good story for thousands of years.

It's a pity that Xun Yu's sentence "You and I have different ways and don't seek each other" has already stated his position.

Between them, in public, they are enemies, and in private, they are confidants.

The contradiction is awe-inspiring.
