The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 253 The Way Is Not The Same
"Thank you Daoist for your hospitality over the past few days. If Daoist is destined to go to the Central Plains in the future, I will sweep the couch to welcome you."

Outside the Tianshi Palace, Xun Yu bid farewell to Zuo Ci. He and Zuo Ci were old acquaintances, and from the bottom of his heart, he respected people outside the other party. Zuo Ci's ability was obviously not a fake Taoist priest bluffing and deceitful. There are indeed some amazing things Amazing skill.

Zuo Ci apologized and returned the salute, watching Xun Yu turn around.

"Ziying, you go down with Wen Ruo first, I have a few words to say to Taoist Zuo."

Guo Jia asked Qin Mi to leave first, and Xun Yu didn't ask any more questions. He was a guest, so he walked down the stairs consciously.

Taking steps also went down the hill, Guo Jia walked slowly, gradually distanced himself from Xun Yu and Qin Mi, and the guards on both sides of the stairs also protected Guo Jia down the hill slowly.

"Little grandpa, what do you want to say to the old man?"

Zuo Ci and Guo Jia also walked down the mountain.

Looking down at Xun Yu's increasingly distant back, Guo Jia asked softly, "Old Taoist Zuo, do you think Wen Ruo's fate has changed from before?"

Zuo Ci said more than once that Guo Jia can change the fate of people around him, Xi Zhi is like this, and Yu Jilai is also like this, even the sisters of the Qiao family and others, the people around him seem to follow the path of their birth. There is a deviation in the destined direction, and often this ending is developing towards a better situation.

Even if Zuo Ci and Yu Ji were able to see through the impermanence of Guo Jia's fate, they would never know the secret that Guo Jia buried deep in their hearts.

His birth, no, it should be said that it overturned history, and the butterfly effect changed the fate of the surrounding people is the most fundamental reason.

Without him, Dian Wei might die soon, Xi Zhicai might have returned to Jiuquan long ago, Da Qiao would become a widow in a few years, Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Gao Shun...

Guo Jia is like a vortex, sweeping all the people around him into it. It is a loophole in fate, an existence that is difficult to understand with common sense.

Zuo Ci looked at the distant back of Xun Yu, shook his head slightly and said, "Xun Lingjun's order is the same as before."

Guo Jia stopped in her tracks, looking down with complicated eyes.

In history, Xun Yu lived to be 50 years old. This age is definitely not short-lived in an age when the average life expectancy is short, and it can barely be called longevity.

But what Guo Jia cares about is not how long Xun Yu lived, but how Xun Yu died!

If it is the end of life, Guo Jia will be happy for him.

However, if it was an untimely death, then Guo Jia would definitely not stand idly by.

There is only one person in the world who can kill Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's Bole, Xun Yu is loyal to the master of his life: Cao Cao.

If Xun Yu's fate is still destined by history, Guo Jia's heart is in a mess when he thinks about it.

He never believed in coincidence.

Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu, sitting on half of the country. Although he was defeated in Chibi when he swung his army south, basically the troops who surrendered in Jingzhou were lost. small land.

The Cao Cao at that time was definitely not the Cao Cao of today, let alone the Cao Cao when he assassinated Dong alone.

It is absolutely impossible for people to be born with ambition. People who have nothing have ambitions, but they are only the lofty ambitions of small people, while those who gradually climb to the peak of power will gradually develop ambitions. History has proved one thing countless times: Power is the root of ambition. cradle.

Cao Cao ten years ago would never have imagined that he would have the status of being a vassal today, and Cao Cao ten years later would never have imagined that he would face the situation where Jinxiu Jiangshan is at his fingertips.

When power and strength are gradually increasing, Cao Cao needs a higher status and needs to create a more grand family business. When Cao Cao is already the prime minister over all officials and holds the power of soldiers and horses, he still wants to go further, what else can he do? Woolen cloth?
What kind of title can satisfy Cao Cao?

In any case, Cao Cao has military and political power in one body, and he is already an extremely human minister!
Going one step further is treason.

Xun Yu supported the Han, so he couldn't just sit back and watch Cao Cao take that step!
The former "My Zifang" stood on the opposite side of Cao Cao. At the same time, Cao Cao used the practice of the common people to suppress the nobles to make the nobles rebel against him one after another. He wanted to suppress the nobles and continue to hold power firmly in his own hands.

Xun Yu died, perhaps history did not explain clearly whether it was Cao Cao who swung the butcher knife, but Xun Yu's death was a heavy blow to the gentry, and it also cleared Cao Cao's further obstacles.

It was the year after Xun Yu's death.

Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei, and finally became "Cao Mang" on a par with Wang Mang.

If Xun Yu's fate is the same as in history, what can Guo Jia do now?
Are you advising Xun Yu earnestly?

What didn't happen, and it happened more than ten years later, how could Guo Jia speak up?
Even if he opened his mouth, no matter how he looked at it, it was obvious that Guo Jia had ulterior motives. Now Xun Yu is the person Cao Cao values ​​and trusts the most. Cao Cao is seen by outsiders as coercing the emperor to order the princes, but in the eyes of Xun Yu and other loyal officials, he is obeying the emperor's orders and not being ministers. Cao Cao is the representative of loyalty, bravery and fearlessness.

Before winning the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had to put his tail between his legs and be a man. After defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had the confidence to show off his might.

Guo Jia wanted to persuade Xun Yu to leave Cao Cao, but it was impossible.

Will Xun Yu stay in Yizhou at the risk of turning against Cao Cao or even going to war?

This is indeed feasible, at least to ensure that Xun Yu will not die in the hands of Cao Cao.

But such an ending made no difference to Xun Yu, but the executioner became Guo Jia.

Having lost his ideals and goals, Xun Yu would feel worse than death, even more indignant than being unrecognized for his talents.

There is a kind of person who lives for ideals.

Guo Jia dare not say that he is, but he will strive towards his ideal, while Xun Yu has been chasing his dream all his life.

If Guo Jia forces Xun Yu to stay in Yizhou, he is trampling on Xun Yu's dignity and ideals, and their friendship will be wiped out. Xun Yu may live for a long time, but he will only be a walking dead.

Better to die than to live is always the narrow mind of a small person. Guo Jia once had the idea of ​​hiding in the mountains and forests for the rest of his life. He also admitted that he had many thoughts of a small person, but Xun Yu was by no means a small person. Therefore, he died a year before Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei. Whether it was homicide or illness, Xun Yu must have been disheartened at that time. For a person with a dream, nothing is more severe than a broken dream. .

"Ugh……"

Guo Jia let out a long sigh that Zuo Ci couldn't figure out.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

He and Xun Yu really have different ways.

Sometimes things that can predict the future are also a heavy psychological burden.

In the eyes of outsiders, Guo Jia, who is smiling all day long, also has a lot of worries, and Xun Yu is one of them.

Preventing Cao Cao from killing Xun Yu, or curbing Cao Cao's ambitions, is not an insoluble problem for Guo Jia.

As long as Cao Cao is prevented from encroaching on Hebei and suppressing Cao Cao's prosperity, Cao Cao still has ambitions, but he does not dare to make himself a duke and king. Cao Cao is a smart hero. Before he has no strength, he will not make enemies, let alone He will throw away the banner of the Son of Heaven by himself.

But Cao Cao's defeat was also a disillusionment for Xun Yu.

Guo Jia thought for a long time, and finally came to only one conclusion.

It turned out that he was not playing with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and other princes. His real enemy, the one he really wanted to eliminate, was the Han Dynasty.

His name is Hanchen, but he is actually a Han thief.

Which prince in the world is not?
It's just that Cao Cao is so powerful that he can tear his face apart and claim the title of thief. Before the other princes have that strength, they can only obey the Han Dynasty on the surface, and there are also arrogant ones, such as Yuan Shu, what will happen to them?At least for now it is besieged on all sides.

If Cao Cao hadn't forced Xun Yu to death, there would always be powerful princes who would take the road of replacing the Han Dynasty step by step. Such an ending would also make Xun Yu's heart die like a lamp extinguished.

Maybe, one day, this person will be Guo Jia.

"Those who help the Han Dynasty must be buried with him..."

Guo Jia looked up at the sky and said such a sentence in a very complicated way.

If Xun Yu can turn the tide, if Cao Cao can really be a hero, they will be famous in history and respected by generations to come.

Guo Jia is not sure about other things, but one thing is certain: Cao Cao will not hesitate when he has the strength to usurp the country.

There are no things much ado about.

The more he thought about it, the more serious his thoughts became, and the more he couldn't untie his knots, the more chaotic he became. In the end, even Guo Jia himself felt a nameless anger.

"I'm not a god, and this is not a soap opera. Everyone likes a happy ending, but I don't even know where my own destiny will go. How can I manipulate others and be the scriptwriter of others' lives?"

Guo Jia, who bowed his head and muttered to himself, felt relieved.

forget about it.

The matter is actually very simple, but he has been unwilling to face it.

Different ways do not conspire with each other, and the struggle for hegemony of the princes is the success of the king and the defeat of the Kou Shunchang. Since ideals are in conflict, Guo Jia can't sacrifice himself, so naturally there is no room for tolerance to others.

When they came down to the mountain, Xun Yu was already waiting beside the carriage, and they got into the carriage together when Guo Jia arrived.

Sitting unsteadily in the carriage, Guo Jia said softly, "Wen Ruo, why don't you stay in Chengdu for a few more days. My wedding with the sisters from the Qiao family will be on the tenth day of the next lunar month. If you're there, they will be happy too."

In fact, Guo Jia hopes to get together with Xun Yu for a few more days. The last time we left Luoyang, it was a full ten years. Today we parted ways. I am afraid that no one can guarantee when or even if they will meet again in this life. neglected issues.

Xun Yu looked indifferent, and said softly: "Since that's the case, I will congratulate Feng Xiao in advance. I hope you and the Qiao sisters will grow old together and have a lot of children and grandchildren."

Guo Jia closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Chengdu is inseparable from Guo Jia, without Xi Zhicai, the whole Yizhou will be in a hurry for some time.

Without Xun Yu in Cao Cao's place, everything will inevitably go wrong.

Outside the city of Chengdu, Guo Jia watched Xun Yu's carriage leave at the gate of the city. Cao Hong rode alone to guard the carriage until it disappeared into the sky, and Guo Jia still stood where he was.

"My lord, it's getting late, it's time..."

Qin Mi wanted to remind Guo Jia that it was getting late, but suddenly found Guo Jia beside Guo Jia crying.
