The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 251 Yingchuan Talent
Because of Xun Yu's arrival at this banquet, Guo Jia was extremely happy, drinking and drinking, switching cups and cups, never mentioning business matters, only Fengyue was in the conversation.

When everyone was in high spirits, Guo Jia called Guo Jin over and asked him to recite the "Will Enter the Wine" written a few days ago, and everyone was mesmerized and applauded.

When the banquet ended, the drunken Xu Chu cursed behind the unconscious Xu Yi, Guo Ye, the culprit, had no time to gloat, and ran outside the hall to vomit in a mess. Cai Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he just looked outside the hall Take Guo Ye back.

It wasn't until late at night that the banquet came to an end, and the guests who came and went returned home having enjoyed themselves.

Cao Hong helped Xun Yu to the guest room in Guo Jia's mansion. After walking out of the room, looking at the peaceful moonlight, Cao Hong said to himself in puzzlement, "Mr. Xun Ling, this is the only time I've been drunk for several years."

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the relationship between Xun Yu and Guo Jia. They are both chasing their ideals, but they just chose different paths.

Xun Yu's trip was a business matter, but it just happened to coincide with Guo Jia's big banquet at the meeting. In the early morning of the next day, Guo Jia formally met with Xun Yu again in the meeting hall of Yizhou Mansion.

Cao Hong handed over several brocade boxes, Guo Jia took them and put them on the table without opening them.

These are the official seals and ribbons of General Hussars and Marquis Wuyang.

Xun Yu made this trip to express Cao Cao's sincerity.

When Guo Jia was promoted to an official position and was promoted to a noble, Yinshou could not be left behind. Not only did he send it, but Xun Yu also sent it.

It is undeniable that Cao Cao is using the personal relationship between Xun Yu and Guo Jia to make a fuss, hoping that Guo Jia will truly appreciate his sincerity and turn their hostility into friendship.

On this day, Guo Jia and Xun Yu had a long talk.

Putting personal relationships aside, Xun Yu proposed a strategic alliance between Guo Jia and Cao Cao.

It means that Cao Cao is in Kanto and Guo Jia is in Kansai.

Guo Jia did not harass Cao Cao to pacify Kanto, and Cao Cao did not come to obstruct Guo Jia's unification of Kansai.

In other words, before Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and wiped out Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao would not think about Kansai.

And before Guo Jia wiped out Han Sui and Ma Chao and pacified southern Sichuan, he couldn't come to the idea of ​​fighting the Kanto.

This strategic alliance seems to be just that the two sides do not interfere with each other, and it is beneficial to Guo Jia.

Cao Cao had a series of opponents, but he did not have an absolute advantage. On the other hand, Guo Jia was invincible in Kansai, and there were only a handful of opponents.

Counting time and speed, Guo Jia must be able to unify Kansai one step earlier than Cao Cao. After that, Guo Jia can break the agreement and attack Kanto, because their alliance is a secret agreement, and outsiders will never know such a thing.

If the current Guo Jia is just an ordinary person without the advantage of time travel, it is not the Guo Jia in history, but an ordinary person who grew up in the Three Kingdoms era.

Then, he must not see through Cao Cao's intentions.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are already mobilizing, pointing directly at Shouchun, the purpose is to destroy Yuan Shu.

And Guo Jia has entered a new round of recuperation, and will not take the initiative to start a war in the near future.

In other words, Cao Cao is expanding, while Guo Jia is standing still.

Cao Cao's strategy for the next few years must be to compete with Yuan Shao.

In the eyes of ordinary people, what will be the result of these two fierce tigers fighting to the death?Yuan Shao definitely has more than [-]% chance of winning!

In terms of fame, in terms of soldiers and horses, and in terms of overall strength, Cao Cao is not even half as good as Yuan Shao.

The Battle of Guandu will forever be recorded in the annals of history. In addition to being a major battle to establish the vassal structure in the Three Kingdoms era, it is also a classic battle in which the weak prevailed over the strong!

To defeat the strong with the weak means that at least [-]% of the people in the world have misjudged it and never thought that Cao Cao would defeat Yuan Shao.

If Guo Jia was an ordinary person, he would definitely think that Cao Cao was doomed, but he knew the result of Guandu.

Cao Cao didn't want Guo Jia to participate in the battle with Yuan Cao, because he didn't want changes on the battlefield.

And once the Yuan-Cao War is over, even if Guo Jia dominates Kansai, Cao Cao in Kanto will have at least the territory of the six states in the world, that is, half of the country!

Who will be optimistic about Cao Cao at this time?
The two people sitting opposite each other and having a secret conversation, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, will be optimistic about Cao Cao!
Of course, Cao Cao must now focus on the direction of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. He is passively starting the war, and it is absolutely impossible to actively provoke Yuan Shao.

Once the battle between Yuan and Cao started, Guo Jia's attitude was extremely important. If he went out of the Guandong, Cao Cao would be the first to suffer.

Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to appease Guo Jia and let Xun Yu come to secretly form an alliance.

It sounds like everything is beneficial to Guo Jia, but Cao Cao won't be so polite to Guo Jia after defeating Yuan Shao.

Of course, if Cao Cao loses, there will be no future.

Would Guo Jia agree to such a covenant?

He can!

Cao Cao hoped that Guo Jia would keep his own place in Guanxi, and Guo Jia did as he wished.

In Guo Jia's eyes, the covenant is used for betrayal.

What's more, everyone is a Hanchen. Can the minister and the minister make such a strategic alliance?
In history, Shu Han and Soochow Wu signed a covenant in black and white. This covenant clearly stipulated the agreement that the two countries should abide by. In this covenant, only one name was mentioned: Zhuge Liang.Sun Quan was filled with emotion, and wrote in the covenant that the two countries were able to form this covenant, all thanks to Zhuge Liang.

That was probably the most peaceful covenant in history that lasted until the end. Shuhan and Soochow did not invade each other for decades until the two countries fell.

A covenant exists between countries.

How can the princes who bear the name of Hanchen make an alliance?

Even if the Eighteenth Route princes attacked Dong Zhuo and formed an alliance, it was only a verbal agreement not to invade each other and unanimously discuss Dong. As a result, this fragile gentleman's agreement was quickly torn apart, and the person who violated the covenant was Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance to discuss Dong.

However, Cao Cao wanted to paralyze Guo Jia with a covenant that was good to Guo Jiali, and let Guo Jia sit on the sidelines, and Guo Jia let him get his wish.

When the Battle of Guandu starts, at the most critical moment, Guo Jia will enter the battlefield by surprise. This strategy will always be firmly implemented by Guo Jia in the future.

In the face of Xun Yu, Guo Jia was inconsistent and seemed hypocritical, but Guo Jia knew that his opponent was Cao Cao, and Xun Yu was just an emotional card played by Cao Cao.

Women are not the only ones who can touch a man's heartstrings, and it is never possible for a man to only have women in his eyes.

After the business was settled, Guo Jia and Xun Yu made a verbal agreement, and it was impossible to make a proof in black and white.

"I heard that Zhicai went to Mount Emei to recuperate?"

Xun Yu didn't know about Xi Zhicai until he entered Chengdu, and he had been worrying about it for several days.

Guo Jia sighed softly, and then invited: "Wen Ruo and Zhicai haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go to Mount Emei with me to visit him."

Xun Yu thought for a while, Cao Cao's army was approaching, and he didn't have much time at this juncture, but since he had traveled all the way to Chengdu, he wouldn't lose much time if he went to Mount Emei.

Seeing that he agreed, Guo Jia asked Qin Mi to arrange trivial matters. Guo Jia and Xun Yu, accompanied by Qin Mi, went out of the city overnight and went straight to Mount Emei.

Mount Emei Tianshi Palace

After resting here for a period of time, Xi Zhicai's complexion improved, and his body gradually recovered. Compared with his previous skinny appearance, he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body sooner or later under Zuo Ci's personal supervision, and read Taoist classics on weekdays. Get rid of the distracting thoughts and worries in my heart, and I really live a life like a wild crane.

Today I plan to get up early in the morning and go to Mount Emei with my wife after practicing martial arts. The autumn wind is bleak, and Xi Zhicai is still sweating profusely. I will practice martial arts with Taoist disciples in the martial arts training ground in front of the temple. The young and strong young man wears Everyone in the Taoist robe was full of energy, and after practicing for a long time, he didn't feel short of breath, but Xi Zhicai's legs were sore and his feet were weak, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion.

Zuo Ci watched from the side and kept shaking his head.

"Hey, back then you practiced martial arts with the young grandpa, and it was no problem to insist on it for a long time. Why is it that a set of punches now seems to kill you?"

Xi Zhicai simply lay down on the floor, not caring about the young man who was snickering, and said pantingly, "I've been slacking off all these years."

Busy with political affairs for several years, Guo Jia is much more leisurely than Xi Zhicai. Guo Jia keeps fit when he is free at home, while Xi Zhicai is almost like a nine-to-five office worker, even more tired. Doing clerical work, the deterioration of physical fitness is also reasonable.

"Take a break for half an hour and practice again. Your body will get better sooner. If you can go back to Chengdu earlier, I can explain to the little grandpa. It's good for yourself and others."

Zuo Ci squatted next to Xi Zhicai, scratching his head without any guru style.

He has always liked to be idle, and when he has nothing to do, he goes to the mountains to collect herbs, watch the sunrise and sunset, and teach his disciples questions, which are all things that Yu Ji usually does.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia would give him such an errand, Zuo Ci felt helpless.

"Since when Xi Zhicai is like Guo Fengxiao, disregarding the occasion and demeanor, lying on the ground like this is insulting and indecent."

Xi Zhicai, who was lying on the ground, had a sluggish expression, looking at the blue sky with surprise in his eyes.

This voice seemed familiar.

Stored memories flooded in like a flood.

Standing up, Xi Zhicai followed the prestige, not far away, Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at him with smiles on their faces.

"Oh! Wen Ruo! It's Wen Ruo! I read it right!"

Xi Zhicai trotted over and almost danced in front of Xun Yu, unable to even say a word.

The palace view is simple, filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, accompanied by the natural atmosphere of heaven and earth, which makes people feel refreshed and very pleasant.

In the courtyard with a leisurely view, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xun Yu sat together, recounting their old love and chatting about the current situation, each feeling extremely embarrassed.

Time has changed, they are separated from each other, and they are their own masters. It sounds very regrettable, but they will not say a word of frustration or rebellion to each other.

At the very least, none of the three people who had lofty aspirations in their youth ended up being underappreciated today.

Xun Yu met Bole Cao Cao, and Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia worked hard to build today's foundation.

The three people who once played the piano and sang eloquently in that shabby house in Yingchuan have turned into dragons swimming in the world because of the great changes in the world.
