Chapter 64 Ambition for Drawing a Blueprint
At this time, Cao Cao found that Xia Houyuan's expression was a little depressed and absent-minded. Cao Cao leaned down and poked his head and asked, "Xiahou Yuan, what's on your mind?"
Xiahou Yuan is Xiahou Chun's own brother. His martial arts skills are only worse than his brother Xiahou Chun's, but his Wentao martial arts strategy can't be caught up with Daxiahou. Xia Houyuan is a rare talent with both literature and martial arts. At present, he is the only one who can be independent in Cao Cao's camp. Other people are short of heat... Of course, civil and military collocation can also be done alone.
The combination of civil and martial arts in other warlords can only be a formal existence. After all, the separation is like a mountain. The generals have always looked down on the powerless scribes, and the scribes also look down on a martial arts. And it can be perfectly reflected in Cao Cao's camp. Because all the generals, including Cao Cao, admire scribes from the bottom of their hearts, provided that as long as the scribes have real talent and learning.
When Xia Houyuan heard Cao Cao's question, Xingmu said tearfully, "Brother Meng De, the little girl Xia Houhui went out for an outing a few days ago and was taken away by the robbers... The younger brother went to explore the robber's dens on several nearby hills, but he did not find anything..."
Xiahou Hui is the apple of Xiahouyuan's eye. He is only 14 years old. He is lively and cheerful, elegant and slightly stubborn, and deeply loved by his elders.
When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help taking a deep breath. My heart was suddenly stuffed into a stone, and my mood suddenly worsened. When Guo Jia heard the bad news, he immediately straightened his posture and asked Xia Houyuan softly, "Brother Xia Hou, please tell me Huier's birthday. I carefully predicted Huier's danger..."
As a soothsayer, mental arithmetic consumes more brainpower and mind, but it is closer to the truth of the future. Xia Houyuan immediately told Guo Jia about his daughter's birthday.
According to Xia Houhui's birth date and eight characters, Guo Jia combined his bones, appearance, temper, behavior, words and deeds, the place at that time, the local customs... Combining all factors, Guo Jia began to calculate with his fingers closed. Gradually, Guo Jia's fingers pinched faster and faster, his face became paler and paler, and bean-sized sweat oozed from his forehead...
Guo Jia is almost out of breath, wheezing like a cow, and exhaling is obviously more than breathing in. When everyone's hearts came to their throats, Guo Jia finally stopped pinching his fingers and slowly opened his eyes. He said weakly to Xia Houyuan, "Brother Xia Hou, in another half a month, Hui'er will return to the family... The accident that Hui'er suffered this time is thrilling, and this accident will change Hui's life. Everything is determined by heaven, and there is not much to say about filial piety. Ha ha, leaking the heavenly opportunity will bring disaster to many people..."
Everyone has no reason to believe in Guo Jia's remarks. Especially Xia Houyuan, his anxious heart suddenly eased a lot.
Then, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao feebly, "Mr. Cao, you continue the previous topic... Ha ha, I want to take a break!"
After saying that, Guo Jia lay on the table and fell asleep in a daze.
Cao Cao and others looked at Guo Jia with infinite love. They know that the more scribes are proficient in divination, the more reluctant they are to predict the future and calculate misfortunes for others. That is extremely life-consuming and reduces life expectancy.
When Guo Jia's violently fluctuated body gradually calmed down, Cao Cao and others continued the previous topic. At the instruction of Cao Cao Cao, the four bodyguards set up a huge map after the chairman's position. The map is five meters long and more than three meters wide, and the rivers, mountains, and the counties and cities of Sichuan Prefecture. The paintings are exquisite, so that the viewer can have a clear view.
Cao Cao stood sideways in front of the huge map with a baton in his hand. He said in a low voice to the generals and scribes: "Guys, this map is a relic of Mr. Mao Jie. Meng De is lucky enough to get it and deeply feels the virtue of the old man... Ladies and gentlemen, the ancients said: Those who don't think about the ages are not enough to worry about it for a while; those who don't think about the world are not enough to think about it. A corner. Therefore, if we want to do great things, we must first understand the situation of the world: in today's world, the Han Dynasty will fall. In the past ten years, after the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army at the bottom of society, the chaos of the ten permanent servants of the imperial court, and the frequent occurrence of bad natural disasters, it has led to social chaos, the collapse of the country, and the people have fallen into deep heat. , the tragic scene of no chicken crowing for thousands of miles, all over the north and south of the Yangtze River...
The current reality is that the local princes implement military secession and control the city; the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army occupy the mountains and forests, which has become a persistent disease. Please look at the map carefully: Youzhou in the north was controlled by Lieutenant Liu Yu and Sun Zan, the shepherd of Youzhou at this time, and Yizhou was occupied by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers; Qingzhou in Linhai was controlled by Liu Yu at this time; Yangzhou in Jiangdong was gradually conquered by the Sun family... At this time, the vast Liangzhou was jointly controlled by the local clan Han Sui and Ma Teng, so the capital Si Li and Yongzhou, where Chang'an were located, were firmly controlled by Li Wei Guo Yan and others of the Xiliang Legion. At this time, Emperor Zixian was still in their hands today. In addition, the rich Yizhou belonged to Liu Yan, the Han clan, and Jingzhou, the place where the soldiers must fight for, was controlled by another Han clan Liu Biao.
After Cao Cao introduced the situation in the world, he paused for a moment. After inspecting the people who listened carefully, he coughed and continued: "Guys, the name of the state of the state where we are belongs to Yuan Shao, but in fact, it is actually the 'three indifferent' blind spot... Mr. Mao Jie told me before he passed away: In the next three years, it will be me. In the important period of Fang's rise, if we miss these three years, we will never get ahead.
As Guo Fengxiao said: One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, not to mention that there are so many tigers in the mountains of China at this time? The princes will go to war sooner or later. A few days ago, my two brothers and I went to Qingzhou to inquire in person. We found that the war in Qingzhou was imminent, and the battle between the officers and the yellow scarf army was imminent.
According to the report of the secret agent sent out: Liu Yan in Yizhou was fighting with the local rebels at this time. The two sides had a balance of attack and defense, and the war was in a stalemate state; Liu Biao in Jingzhou implemented the plan of 'driving tigers with wolves', and suppressed other arrogant clans with the help of the local clans, Huang, Mi and other clans. In a word, Jingzhou was also restless at this time.
In Youzhou in the north, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are facing the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy: in the north, there is a yellow scarf army hidden between the white mountains and black water, the fierce Xiongnu and Xianbei army, and the south is suppressed by Yuan Shao.
And Yuan Shao, who is at home to the hearts of the people, is also having a hard time. His brother Yuan Shu often competes with him for power and profits, and the West and the Xiliang Legion are invaded at any time.
In view of the current situation of the princes in the world who are constrained by each other, Guo Fengxiao has planned our strategy of rapid rise: to get involved in Qingzhou, take the benefits of the fishermen, obtain the elite soldiers of the yellow scarf army who can fight and cultivate, and then return to the stable base of Gunzhou, and wipe out other warlords and reactionary clan forces on the boundary of Gunzhou..."
After Cao Cao finished explaining, he threw the baton to Dian Wei beside him. Then, he returned to his seat refreshed and stared at the crowd.
Everyone knows that Cao Cao wants everyone to speak at this time. The elderly Xun Yu arched his hand to Cao Cao with a happy face and said, "Cao Gong, as long as Guo Fengxiao's plan is gradually realized, the rise of Cao Gong is just around the corner!" ... Cao Gong, to be honest, after ten years of bloody fighting, the Yellow Turban Army has grown into a heroic soldier who can fight well at this time. This is a full-winged force!"
Cao Cao heard the words and nod silently. Previously, he also looked down on the inferior Yellow Turban Army. Under Guo Jia's detailed explanation and analysis, he realized the potential strength of the Yellow Turban Army at this time.
"Ha ha, yes, what Xun joined the army said is true. If it can drive the elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army to fight, it will definitely save five years of training time..." Xun You followed the previous topic and said in depth, "There is a family behind every Yellow Turban Soldier. With tens of thousands of soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of people. ..."
