Chapter 7 Hidden Needles in the Secret Competition

Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu's remarks and waved to Chang Shi Ju to return to rest. Then he turned his body and said to Guo Tu and said, "Guo joined the army. At the beginning, Ma Teng Han and Liu Yan joined hands to attack Chang'an City. As a result, the incident was defeated. After that, Shi Jia Xu, the commander of the Xiliang Legion, refused the high position of Da Sima and fled with his family. After experiencing great changes inside and outside, Li Wei and Guo Yubing, who have accumulated deep grievances, let go of their past grudges and get back together. However, later, the treacherous Cao Cao accepted the jurisdiction of Chang'an as a herdsman and took the initiative to show his sincerity to the Xiliang Legion, which surprised Li Wei and Guo Wei. Later, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Yan in Yizhou, Sun Zan Gong in Youzhou, and Ma Teng Han Sui in Liangzhou also followed Cao A's practice, took the initiative to accept the jurisdiction of Li Yu and Guo Yan, and worshipped them the rare treasures... The local princes took the initiative to show their goodwill, and the remnants of the local Yellow Turban Army were wiped out. Li Wei and Guo Yan's ambitions expanded again, one month In the past, they began to have a big infighting again. This Cao Aqian is really insidious..."

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, his face showed a strong look of resentment.

"Ha ha, my lord, I guess Cao Aqian can't think of such a vicious scheme. It's not the ghost idea of Xun Yuxun, Guo Jia and other despicable and shameless scribes..." Feng Ji said with a flattering face. Looking at the words, flattery is his specialty.

When Fengji mentioned these people, they used to serve as military staff under Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao heard the names of these people and thought of Cao Cao, he was like seeing a few flies flying on a pile of dung, which was disgusting... Especially Guo Jia, who usually did not abide by the law, and he was also extremely disrespectful to himself. And I am benevolent to Guo Jia...

Seeing that Yuan Shao's face became extremely ugly, Feng Ji quickly stopped and dared not speak again.

At this time, the examiner who is good at observing words and colors boldly said softly, "Xun Yu, you and Guo Jia, these white-eyed wolves, followed by the treacherous Cao Ayi, will not have a good end! Chang'an City is definitely their tomb where they have no return!"

The swearing words of the judge suddenly brightened Yuan Shao's dim eyes. He nodded to the jury, and then said forcefully, "That's all for today's discussion. Let's go..." After saying that, Yuan Shao stood up with his robe, turned around and entered the back hall, and went to the bedroom along the secret road.

Ju Shu, Feng Ji, the trial match, Xu You stood up and said with a smile and turned away. Only Tian Feng is still closing his eyes and meditating: In recent years, Yuan Shao has become more and more arrogant and arrogant. A few years ago, he proposed to Yuan Shao: annex the surrounding states and counties, and then gather the military forces of several states to attack the Xiliang Corps, restore the Han Dynasty, support the world's justice, and create a peaceful and prosperous era... But Yuan Shao just listened and didn't do it. Nowadays, the local warlords in other states and counties are becoming more and more powerful. In contrast, Yuan Shao became more and more short-sighted, and his strength was caught up by rising stars...

Oh, maybe I misidentification? However, the loyal and righteous man has nothing to do with the two masters in his life. Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others are free and easy to learn by themselves... Yuan Shao, who is short-sighted and proud, actually said that Li Wei Guo Wei of the Xiliang Legion is inflated. Doesn't he inflate himself? What on earth does Yuan Shao want to do...

The more Tian Feng thought about it, the heavier his heart became. He stood up with great difficulty and walked out of the secret room step by step. The dark night made him unable to see the light.

Several flowers bloom, one on each table. It is said that Cao Cao personally led 40,000 elite soldiers to leave Bozhou all the way north. Before the army set out, Cao Cao also discussed the march route with the staff: from Bozhou to Chang'an, there are two roads, one is all the way west and then north. This road has to pass through Wancheng, and Wancheng is under the control of Zhang Ji, the governor of Xiliang. From the standpoint of enemy confrontation, Zhang Ji, who has 10,000 iron horses, will definitely harass Cao Cao's army with the help of favorable terrain.

The other road is all the way north and then back to the west. This marching route is half the distance less than the first route, but the army is bound to pass through Luoyang City, the former imperial capital, and now it is the magic field where the plague is prevalent. With Luoyang as the center, dozens of miles are nearly no man's land. Even if there are people in the city village, it is still dying. The plague patient.

With rid of Guo Jia, everyone is lost in meditation. There are dangerous factors in both routes. There is a man-made danger to the west and a plague in the north.

Guo Jia calmly drank wine and tasted delicious food. The intelligent people looked at Guo Jia together. Guo Jia put down his chopsticks and took out a piece of silk paper from his arms. Then Guo Jia motioned the servant to hand the silk paper to Cao Cao for review.

"Cao Gong, colleagues, what is recorded on this silk paper is a good prescription for the prevention and treatment of the plague, which was opened by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the world..." Guo Jia's voice echoed in the quiet hall. "The medicinal herbs needed for this prescription are green sticky leaves, licorice, and the ground are everywhere. Just boil it into soup, one bowl a day. Prevent and treat the plague... Of course, terminally ill patients need to increase the weight!"

After listening to Guo Jia's introduction, Cao Cao gently placed the silk paper on the table. He read it carefully and handed the silk paper to Dian Wei behind him for safekeeping.

Cao Cao raised his glass, nodded to Guo Jia, and then drank it in one gulp. Guo Jia smiled and picked up the glass to see the bottom. Others applauded neatly and uniformly.

With green sticky leaf powder, it is equivalent to having an amulet. With a life-saving amulet, Cao Cao's army can pass through the epidemic ravaged areas. In that case, it can save a lot of time and a lot of food and fodder.

When Cao Cao and Guo Jia filled the glass again, Xia Houyuan, who was both civilized and armed, asked, "Cao Gong, the army passed the plague area safely, but entered Yuan Shao's territory... In case Yuan Shao took the opportunity to harm us, how to deal with it?"

Before Cao Cao could answer, Xun Yu twisted his beard and said with a smile, "Ha ha, I'm too worried! Although Yuan Shao is a kind, narrow-minded and vicious person on the surface, he does not dare to blatantly block us in his territory, even if Xun You and Guo Jia and I make him very angry! ...It's just that it's hard to say on the way back."

Cao Cao nodded to Xun Yu with satisfaction, and then he looked at Xia Houyuan and said, "Solder, it's tricky! Yuan Shao may know culture and etiquette, but he only stays at the fur level of the art of war... Yuan Shao and I have been playing together since they understand things. I know his character well: when I was 14 years old, I made an appointment with the Yuan Shao brothers to go to Zhang Qi's mansion, a powerful eunuch at that time, and ended up in front of the wall of Zhang Qi's mansion. The two brothers were timid. At that time, as for me climbing over the wall and being admitted to the hospital, I picked up weapons and smashed them everywhere in the martial arts practice field in the backyard of the mansion. At the same time, they shouted. When the warriors of the guard came, I climbed over the wall and ran away. As a result, outside the wall, the two brothers of the Yuan family disappeared for a long time... Later, the three of us went to steal the bride, and as a result, Yuan Shao let Yuan The art set me away, and I secretly have fun alone... Yuan Shao's behavior is very unkind. When he becomes an adult, his words and deeds are extremely pretentious. On the surface, he is a virtuous comoral, but in fact, he is jealous..."

"Ha ha, what Cao Gong said is very true. It hit the nail on the head, so I left Yuan Shao one after another..." Xun You said with an open smile.

"Yuan Shao is a hypocrite. He comes into contact with celebrities, but he just regards celebrities as decorations." Criticizing Yuan Shao, Guo Jia did not hesitate to say, "However, the resources that Yuan Shao has at this time are really eye-catching... But the facts have proved that Yuan Shao is a standard prodigal son, just like a rich man with 100,000 good people, who can only grow grass but not crops; just like an old eunuch who marries 10,000 wives, he can only see and can't use it. Ah..." Yuan Shao sits in the area of the four prefectures, with a force of up to 300,000. The fierce generals are like clouds and counselors like rain. The power has surpassed the Xiliang Legion and become the first hegemon in the world today.

However, at this time, Yuan Shao was the target of criticism, and no one was interested in following him, let alone respected him, so Guo Jia's ridicule immediately aroused everyone's laughter. Especially Cao Cao, covering his stomach and smiling,

On the third day, Cao Cao Cao arranged for Guo Jia, Cao Hong and others to stay in the base camp. He led civilian generals and led 40,000 troops to advance north. Entering the plague area, Cao Cao felt very sad when he saw the tragic scene of "white bones exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for thousands of miles".

In a city, the surviving people gathered together to receive treatment from famous doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Hua Tuo's green sticky leaf powder and Zhang Zhongjing's Wushi powder are indeed the nemesis of the plague. It has curbed the spread of the plague and stabilized the hearts of the people.

Cao Cao personally visited the famous doctor of the holy hand of benevolent heart. After some exchange, Cao Cao learned that there was a shortage of food in the plague area, so he immediately allocated ordinary food from the military grain to the disaster victims.

Cao Cao's enthusiastic act made his image lofty in the Luoyang region and accumulated good results many years later. After that, Cao Cao said goodbye to the benevolent doctor and continued his journey. It was not until he entered Yuan Shao's territory three days later that Cao Cao's heavy mood improved.

Xun Yu and Xun You understand Cao Cao very well. In their eyes, Cao Cao's love for the people and his love for beautiful women are as sincere and from the bottom of their hearts... It can be said that it is because of Cao Cao's "true" that they are determined to follow!

The scene is converted to the lieutenant's mansion in Jicheng, Youzhou. The lieutenant's mansion is simple and a little dilapidated. Under the bright sun, it looks gray, like a beggar squatting around the corner of the street.

In the dark and quiet secret room, the candle with a thick fist made a crackling sound. Under the bright candlelight, an elegant forty-year-old man was reading the letters on the table. Its clothing is simple and clean, the blue robe is washed white, and the scribe hat on its head is patched everywhere.

Another old man is fiddling with the incense burner close to the horizontal case in the middle hall. This old man is also dressed simply and patched everywhere. Reading the letter was the current lieutenant Liu Yu, and playing with the incense burner was Liu An, the head of the lieutenant's mansion.

When Liu Yu saw the angry message, he threw his hat on the table angrily. Liu An quickly moved over and looked at Liu Yu with kind eyes. At this time, Liu Yu's face was blue and his chest was undulating.

When Liu Yu saw Liu An, the old housekeeper who was kneeling on the opposite side, he opened his closed lips and said in a hateful voice, "Jingzhou Liu Biao is really a shrinking turtle. There are so many elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, but none of them have been sent to participate in the anti-rebellion alliance army... He is also a royal clan, and he is not afraid of being spurned by the world?"
