Guo Jia rushed back to Xudu at seven o'clock. He was anxious to report back, so he did not return to his residence immediately. Instead, he rushed straight to the Prime Minister's residence. This time, he personally went to Huainan to spread rumors, and the effect was obvious. The uprising had started. There were rebels everywhere in Huainan. There were hundreds of small groups and tens of thousands of large groups. Yuan Shu couldn't suppress them in time. He was so busy that he was in a terrible state. After several failed attempts to suppress it, he simply ignored it and hid in the harem to muddle through. Guo Jia was secretly happy when he saw this. He was eager to let Cao Cao know the good news, so he galloped at full speed. In a day and night, he traveled more than three hundred miles and arrived at Xudu in a few days.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, he saw that the residence was heavily guarded as if he was facing a great enemy. He was puzzled and found a familiar guard to ask,"The security is so tight. What happened in the residence?”
The guard replied,"Milord, you may not know this, but today Jia Fu is extremely daring. He actually dared to sneak into the residence to assassinate you." Now that he has been captured, Cao Gong is afraid that there will be more assassins, so he ordered us to step up our patrol.”
"Where is Cao Gong now?" Guo Jia asked in shock.”
"He's in his bedroom," the guard replied.”
Guo Jia rushed forward and arrived at the bedroom in a moment. He was a weak scholar and had never done such intense exercise. When he ran to the bedroom, he was already panting and weak. He held onto the pillar and panted. After a long time, he felt calm. He straightened his clothes, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and walked into the hall.
Cao Cao was sitting alone in front of the table, sulking. When he saw Guo Jia, he was very happy. He stood up and said,"Fengxiao, you're finally here. How's the situation in Huainan?”
"I'm not here today for the matter of Huainan," Guo Jia said seriously.”
Cao Cao's heart trembled. He smiled and asked,"Then why did Fengxiao come?"
Guo Jia cupped his hands and bowed.”
Cao Cao laughed and said,"Haha, it's my blessing that Feng Xiao is willing to come and hang me." Recently, he had heard some flattery and was quite annoyed. He was about to listen to Feng Xiao's advice.”
Guo Jia said seriously," Huainan is only a province, and Yuan Shu is a good-for-nothing. What great things can he achieve? You don't have to worry about him. You should worry about the world."”
Cao Cao said seriously,"Now, in order to pacify the troubled times, I work hard every day and dare not slack off."”
"What do you think is the most important thing to gain the world?" asked Guo Jia.”
Cao Cao said," The most important thing is to win the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the people are not in line, the country will not exist. How can we talk about getting the world?"”
"What's the second?" Guo Jia asked.
Cao Cao frowned and said,"When using people, I will look for the talents of the world to be used by me, so that they can display their strengths and perform their duties."”
Guo Jia nodded.'A wise man will always make a mistake, and a fool will always make a gain.'After all, the strength of one person was limited. Only by gathering the strength of everyone and uniting as one could one win every battle and be invincible in the world. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi could use Guan Zhong, Duke Mu of Qin could use Bai Lixi, and Duke Wen of Jin had many talented people under him. These three people could use wise people to achieve their hegemony, which showed the importance of talents to a country.”
"When Gaozu first obtained the world, he once held a banquet in Luoyang's Nangong and asked him why he could obtain the world. Gaozu was not satisfied with the answers of the ministers. In the end, Gaozu himself said,'I'm not as good as Liang Fang in planning and planning, winning thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Xiao He in guarding the country, appeasing the people, providing food and salary, and not cutting off the grain road. With a million troops, we will win the battle and win the attack. I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are all outstanding talents. If I can appoint them, this is how I can seize the world. Xiang Yu has a Fan Zeng, but he can't use him. This is why he captured him for us.'This passage is clearly written in history, you must know. There is a saying: 'Chu killed Ziyu and Duke Wen was happy, Qin used Meng Ming and Duke Xiang was afraid.'Now the country has a great sage, but you don't want to kill him. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the wise men in the country and make the princes of other countries laugh at him?”(Ziyu refers to Cheng Dechen, a famous general of the Chu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was extremely intelligent and was killed by the King of Chu due to his carelessness. When Duke Wen of Jin, the ruler of the State of Jin, the enemy of the State of Chu, heard this news, he was very happy. He felt that the State of Chu was no longer a threat and that he could rest easy from now on. Meng Ming was referring to Meng Mingshi, a famous general of the State of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had been defeated by the State of Jin three times. Duke Mu of Qin trusted him and used him without hesitation. In the end, Meng Mingshi avenged his three defeats and won a great victory over the State of Jin. Duke Xiang of Jin was afraid and did not dare to fight.）
Cao Cao laughed and said,"Haha, Feng Xiao has been going around for a long time and said so many things. It turns out that he is talking about Ren Lu." Humph! He's not a great sage, he's a thief. How dare he enter the palace to assassinate me!”
Guo Jia shook his head and said," As the saying goes,'The Great Hidden in the City' Ren Lu looks dissolute and often makes a fool of himself in front of others. These are just superficial phenomena. It's a means for him to hide himself." In fact, he had learned so many things and knew so much that no one could compare to him. He was also a person with millions of soldiers in his heart. Such a wise and just person should personally visit his place, personally ask for advice, to show his sincerity, how can because of a Diao Chan plot to harm him.”
Cao Cao laughed,"Haha, even you say I did it for Diao Chan!"”As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and shouted,"Men! Bring me the Chinese chess set."
Servant A thought to himself, Why am I always the one who gets injured? I won't be Servant A in my next life even if I'm beaten to death.”Thinking of this, he quickly brought a set of Chinese chess over and placed it on the table before turning around to leave.
Cao Cao pointed at the chessboard and said,"How about it? Let's play a game."”
"I'm a fool," Guo Jia said humbly,"How would I dare to play chess with you?"”
Cao Cao said,"Today, you and I will not distinguish between the superior and the inferior. We will kill each other. In the meantime, I can tell you about Jia Fu."”
Guo Jia had no choice but to agree. Cao Cao held the red chess piece and Guo Jia held the blue chess piece. Cao Cao held a chess piece in his hand and said,"Actually, not long after Jia Fu researched this game, I found out about it and asked someone to make a copy for research.”
"Jia Fu was able to research this thing, which means he is very talented. Why did you not use it and instead want to kill him?" Guo Jia said.”
"Haha, why didn't I know?" All of you call me Diao Chan. Today, in front of you, I will tell you the truth. It turns out that I've taken a fancy to Diao Chan and want to take her as a concubine. He had betrothed her to Jia Fu, and indeed had the intention of killing him and marrying himself. But ever since he came up with this thing, I no longer had the mood.”
"Then why is Ming Gong still acting like this?" Guo Jia asked.”From then on, the two of them talked as they fought. They fought with each other and killed happily.
Cao Cao said," It seems that it's hard to hide from those who know it. Fengxiao's wisdom is outstanding, so I won't beat around the bush." Humph! He used this game to randomly befriend the officials in the court. What was he trying to do?”
"This is the Lord's taboo." Renlu didn't think it through." "Jia Fu is young and inexperienced, so he doesn't know the dangers of doing this. I think he just wants to make more friends and doesn't have any ill intentions."”
"Make more friends?" Cao Cao said angrily. Now, it seems that it's not me who wants to compete with him for Diao Chan, but him who wants to compete with me for the world.”
Guo Jia cursed inwardly and hurriedly said,"Jia Fu has no such intentions. I dare to guarantee with my life."”
"Can you guarantee that?" Cao Cao said angrily. How much do you know about his actions?”After saying that, she told him about Zhao Ruyan and said,"When he begged this woman to be his slave that day, I was already suspicious. I wanted to see what he wanted, so I patiently watched him jump up and down. In the end, I deliberately gave this woman to him just to see how he would do it. Sure enough, as I expected, he let her go not long after he brought her there. After that, he even put on a farce of looking for her, thinking that he could hide it from me! Humph! How can I be so easily fooled?”
"Zhao Ruyan is Zhao Yan's daughter. Isn't Jia Fu doing this to boost the prestige of the Imperial Family? Now that Dong Cheng is the leader of the imperial family, the few people under him are secretly discussing all day long. I don't know what they're talking about, but I think it's definitely not good for me. Since Jia Fu was a great sage, the situation would be difficult to control if he stood on their side. It was better to get rid of him to prevent future troubles.”
Guo Jia only wanted to save Jia Renlu, so how could he be in the mood to play chess? After he reached the middle of the game, he made a series of dangerous moves, and the situation was bad. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, but he no longer thought about it. He casually made a move and said,"Lady Zhao ended up in a brothel alone. Her background is really pitiful. It's understandable that Jia Renlu saved her out of kindness. I have talked to him many times and he was full of praise for Ming Gong. He wanted to work under Ming Gong, so Ming Gong should give him this chance.”
Cao Cao said angrily,"Humph, you may know a person's face but not his heart!" How could words count? Some time ago, you were very close to him. If it wasn't for your loyalty to me, I would have done it with you. Do you know how many times Liu Bei had looked for him? Each time, it was a secret meeting for half a day. Liu Bei is a very difficult person to deal with. Now that he has fallen from grace and is under my house arrest, who knows, he might one day soar into the sky. He was now a fish without water, a bird without wings. There was no great harm. Once Jia Fu assisted him, Liu Bei would be like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings. The consequences would be unimaginable.”
"This should be a normal interaction between friends. You don't have to worry too much, Ming Gong," Guo Jia said. If Ming Gong is worried, please let me go to the prison to investigate. I think with my three inch tongue, it is not difficult to convince Jia Fu to follow Ming Gong without hesitation.”
Cao Cao said,"You should know that I once said: 'I'd rather let the world down than let the world down.' Now that Jia Fu's movements were unknown, leaving him by his side would ultimately be a disaster. What he had learned was extremely terrifying. Once he caused trouble, it would be difficult to deal with. Therefore, for today's plan, it is better to kill wrongly than to let go!”
"Please reconsider, Lord Ming!" Guo Jia said.”
Cao Cao laughed and shouted,"General!"”After drinking, he stood up and left without paying any attention to Guo Jia. Guo Jia looked at the chessboard and saw that it was already a dead end."It seems that Ming Gong is determined to kill Jia Renlu. What should we do?”--
The dividing line-
I've used up all of my essence. I'm very sorry that I didn't add it to you. I would like to thank so many of you for your support. I have another book that hasn't been updated yet, and there are still nine essences. Please say something there first, I'll add them there.
