Chapter 42, The Choice of the Actor

Suddenly, Liu Bei couldn't tell whether he was trying to trick Cao Cao or the other party was doing this.

"My lord, General Cao is here to invite us to Jizhou to wipe out the last remnants of the Yellow Turbans."

Guo Jia stepped forward to answer Liu Bei's question for Cao Cao and expressed his attitude at the same time.

The arrival of Cao Cao undoubtedly put the problem of choice in front of him. After thinking about it for a while, Guo Jia made the final decision.

It is undeniable that Cao Cao's preferences are quite similar to his. If there were no influence of the times and no disputes, he would be happy to make such friends.

But these are troubled times!

Compared to the decisive and decisive Cao Cao, the benevolent Liu Bei is more reassuring.

When Cao Cao heard the word "Lord", his face showed surprise for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Xuan De can actually subdue a great talent like Feng Xiao, which really makes Cao Cao a little envious."

Why is Liu Bei so lucky?

Cao Cao thought with mixed feelings that he came here with the intention of recruiting Guo Jia because he heard about Guo Jia's military skills.

Liu Bei just felt refreshed, not only because Guo Jia once again expressed his stance, but also partly because of the momentary disappointment on Cao Cao's face.

"Fengxiao and I hit it off right away and cherish each other. I believe he will be able to assist me in establishing immortal achievements."

Zhang Fei blushed when he heard this. It was obviously the three brothers who had been waiting in the snow all morning, and they were so shameless that they succeeded in recruiting people.

Liu Bei continued: "Fengxiao thinks we should go north?"

Guo Jia said without hesitation: "It is our duty to hoe thieves to revive the Han Dynasty."

Liu Bei immediately understood. Guo Jia was reminding him that it was time to start implementing the subsequent plan.

"Okay, everyone listens to Fengxiao."

It was such a scene of a capable minister. Although Cao Cao was relieved, he did not want to stay here any longer.

"Since Xuande has no objections, the matter has been settled. I will meet again someday and say goodbye!"

"Meng De, please."

After some polite gestures, Cao Cao turned around and left. When he was feeling depressed, he unexpectedly met someone at the gate.

As Sima Hui took some students south, others also went their separate ways, and the entire Yingchuan Academy became very deserted.

Because of this, Cao Cao spoke out of nowhere.

"May I ask your Excellency?"

He felt that those who were still staying in the academy at this time must have something special about them. For example, Guo Jia, he seemed to have regarded the academy as his own home.

Besides, there were not many people left in Yingchuan Academy, so why did he happen to meet them?

Cao Cao prefers necessity.

"I am Xi Zhong, whose courtesy name is Zhicai."

"Is it possible that your Excellency is also a student of Master Sima?"

"good."

"Would you like to move on a little bit?"

"I have my wish, but I dare not invite you."

Intentionally or unintentionally.

But this is no longer important.

Not far away, Xiao Zhan was sitting bored on the carriage, but he happened to see this scene. His thoughts changed, he jumped off the carriage and walked quickly into the academy.

——

"Then Cao Cao must have ill intentions towards sir."

In the small pavilion by the lake, as soon as Cao Cao left, Zhang Fei couldn't help but say.

The sense of smell is very keen, but this word is not quite appropriate.

Guo Jia was speechless and said: "What are you talking about? I am not a peerless beauty. What should he care about?"

"He obviously heard about Mr.'s talent and wanted to recruit him."

"But sir has already rejected him." Liu Bei smiled, feeling quite a sense of accomplishment. The first step of his rebirth was successfully completed.

If you can successfully become the lord of Bingzhou, your starting point will be much faster than in the previous life, and you will be regarded as an upright prince.

Zhang Fei nodded and said with a smile: "That's true. Sir and my three brothers share weal and woe. How can outsiders easily sway us?"

Guo Jia corrected him: "I hope your lord will not be in trouble."

In fact, they only fought two battles, and we should not be able to talk about sharing weal and woe.

Guo Jia also doesn't like to share adversity. He hopes that Liu Bei will soar to the sky and never fall into the trough.

While a few people were chatting, Xiao Zhan walked in. He said solemnly: "Sir, I just saw the general named Cao."

All three of them were speechless.

Zhang Fei raised his voice and said angrily: "For such a big man, is it possible that you could still misjudge him?"

"But he met Mr. Xi Zhong, and the two of them left talking and laughing. I think I should tell him."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them were stunned.

Liu Bei sighed: "Mr. Xi Zhong finally followed someone else."

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "I have already expected that he will not work with me. I am worried about Xun Yu."

Xi Zhong regarded Guo Jia as his opponent, and coupled with his attitude shown before, Guo Jia never tried to win over him from beginning to end.

What he was really worried about was that Xi Zhong would drag Xun Yu into Cao Cao's formation.

Xi Zhong is good at strategy and will be a powerful enemy in the future, but this cannot be changed.

Xun Yu was different, he was an all-rounder. If Cao Cao recruited him, he would have both the mastermind of foreign wars and the Dinghai Shenzhen in the rear.

Guo Jia knew very well that there would be a battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the future.

Liu Bei said seriously: "I will go find Wen Ruo tonight to make tea and discuss the situation."

Having lived in two lifetimes, he knew the value of Xun Yu very well. As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, he would do his best to fight for it.

At this moment, I couldn't help but think of Kong Ming again...

——

It's late at night, the clouds have stopped and the rain has stopped.

"I'm going on an expedition again tomorrow."

Guo Jia suddenly spoke, and Su Meiniang's joyful mood disappeared instantly.

She turned slightly to the side, as if she said I don't want to care about you anymore.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the two of them had been spending time together and away from each other. It was hard for them to live in peace for a while, but they didn't expect that she would be left alone in an empty bed.

Guo Jia couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw her little daughter's attitude, and couldn't help joking: "Why, are you afraid that you won't see her for another day, like three autumns?"

The pretty widow blushed. Ever since she got to know this person, she found that many nouns and allusions were wrong.

She turned around and said with a look of resentment: "If Fengxiao had studied political affairs, he wouldn't have made me worry about you from time to time."

Who says I can't govern?

Guo Jia feels that many people have misunderstood him. In his previous life, he was a 985, and he also worked hard on agriculture.

What he is now is more like a combination of his predecessor's strategy and his own knowledge.

However, it was inappropriate for him to reveal himself at this time, so he simply let her continue to misunderstand him.

"After this battle, there will be no more wars for a few years. Then Meiniang and I will study hard to continue the family lineage."

"How could you say such explicit words?"

Su Meiniang punched him lightly, feeling happy and shy at the same time, and even began to uncontrollably fantasize about what her future child would look like.

"Isn't Mei Niang always thinking about my savings?"

"No, who wants your savings?"

"You don't want it, but I still want to give it to you."
