Chapter 570: Embarrassed on the road


    "Cao Mengde is leaving." Guo Jia shook the wine gourd and said with blurred eyes.


    Xun Yu was sitting on one side, holding a book. He tilted his head slightly and said, "Well, what''s wrong?"


    “I want to take a look.” Guo Jia said.


    Xun Yu put down the letter and said, "But Dongjun is not a good place."


    ??Yanzhou, the Yellow Turbans are very serious now. The sequelae of the previous disregard of the crusade against Dong Zhuo gradually emerged. Yanzhou was the main force in the jujube coalition, and the transferred soldiers from counties and counties gave the original generation of yellow scarf thieves in Yanzhou and Qingzhou a chance to breathe again.


    Liu Dai''s control over Yanzhou was weak, and the battle with the former governor Qiao Mao finally reached an irreconcilable stage. Liu Dai used the excuse of unfavorable military supplies to kill Qiao Mao, but everyone knows what happened. , therefore the local nobles in Yanzhou were not very welcoming and cooperative towards Liu Dai, which resulted in Liu Dai being passive most of the time. Even the scope and area of ??activity of the Yellow Turban thieves could not be established in the first place due to various restrictions. Learned…


    Of course, after Qiao Mao''s death, Liu Dai also appointed Wang Gong as the prefect of Dongjun. In addition, there is another one from Dong Zhuofeng, and now there is another one from Yuan Shaofeng.


    So Xun Yu solemnly said: "Although Cao Mengde is quite majestic, after all, he is not very talented... So, are you sure?"


    Xun Yu and Guo Jia have actually been in Jizhou for a while. They met Yuan Shao, but they didn''t show any sign. Of course, Yuan Shao didn''t show any sign either.


    Strictly speaking, Yuan Shao already has a lot of counselors around him. Yuan Shao not only balances these counselors, but also relies on the mutual competition between these counselors to plan and expand. Now he has done a very good job. Who will replace him? There is no way that Yuan Shao, from a second-generation official, not only captured the entire Jizhou, but also set his sights on Youzhou and Yanzhou in just one year...


    Yuan Shao''s strategic vision and world-dominating attitude are indeed very attractive.


    But what does Cao Cao have?


    There is nothing except a few family brothers and some family soldiers.


    ??Guo Jia put down the wine gourd and said, "Cao Mengde doesn''t like Yuan Cheqi, and I happen to not like him very much either, so let''s just take a look..."


    Xun Yu was silent and sighed slightly.


    Yuan Shao, as a role model for the crowned clan in the world, naturally cannot condescend to do some small things. Otherwise, if he condescends too much, he will naturally lose his original majesty and magnanimity. This is naturally unacceptable to Yuan Shao.


    However, Guo Jia is extremely talented. With high talents, he will inevitably have a very high spirit. Naturally, he is not willing to flatter Yuan Shao for a little salary. Of course, it is even more impossible to flatter Guo Tu and Shen Pei. People like that.


    Naturally, Guo Jia received a cold reception.


    "Then how are you going?" Xun Yu asked.


    ?? Guo Jia laughed a few times, suddenly stood up, held up the wine gourd, and said a little drunkenly: "From now on, my surname is no longer Guo..."


    ×××××××××××××


    ??Cao Cao looked at the disheveled man up and down and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"


    "A certain person named Xi, named Zhicai, is a businessman." Xi Zhicai said lazily with disheveled hair and a strong smell of alcohol.


    "Playing Zhicai?" Cao Cao murmured and repeated. In the current concept of the Han Dynasty, most of the two-character names meant a nickname, and he was a businessman. "Does it have a character?"


    “No words.” Xi Zhicai replied.


    Cao Cao couldn''t help but glared.


    Wei Jian on the side also frowned. He didn''t care much about whether there were words or not, but for him who is a bit of a germaphobe, a sloppy appearance like Xi Zhicai simply made him feel a little disgusted, and he couldn''t help but blurt out: "Why?" Can there be no words?”


    These days, there is no more serious problem than two-character names.


    The word ? is usually bestowed by elders and is mostly related to the name. It also has the meaning of expressing wishes, blessings, etc. There are no words, which means that there is either no teacher or no family elders, and no matter which one it is, it means that Xi Zhi is a wild character...


    Xi Zhicai looked up to the sky and laughed, half jokingly and half seriously: "Ambition is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper, what is the use of ambition? It is better to have no ambition." Of course, ambition is not the other word, and of course everyone present understands it. Wei Jian smiled slightly and said, "A disciple of Jiagu actually expressed his ambition?" A small businessman who appeared out of nowhere actually said that his ambition was higher than the sky. This special target was just to tease me. What?


    Xi Zhicai rolled up his sleeves and said: "Tao Zhu Gong assisted the Yue King to lie down on firewood and eat courage, so he could destroy Wu; Lu Xiangguo helped his son Chu Handan to sacrifice his daughter, so he could win the first emperor of China. Are these two people without ambition?"


    ?Wei Jian was suddenly choked.


    ??Cao Cao laughed, formed a circle for the guard, and said, "You are indeed a wonderful man. Please take a seat."


    Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and sat down diagonally. Cao Cao didn''t care.


    ??Cao Cao asked: "I wonder... uh, Zhicai, what do you want to sell when you come here this time?" Originally, he wanted to call him by a more affectionate name, but in the end, he had no word, so he had to call him by his first name.


    “It’s just pen and ink,” Xi Zhicai said.


    ??Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "How do you describe this...?"


    Xi Zhicai said lazily: "The hair is thick and the hair is thick, but the writing is useless."


    ??Cao Cao''s eyes lit up for a moment, he leaned forward slightly, and then asked: "What about Mo...?"


    Xi Zhicai stretched out his hand and rubbed it in his arms, as if he was scratching lice, and he seemed to be rubbing some mud **** or something like that. Wei Jian, who was watching on the side, frowned, and then said: "Mo Bei Si Ran, Don’t be careless.”


    ??Cao Cao didn''t mind Xi Zhicai''s rude behavior at all, he happily gave a high-five and said: "Wonderful!"


    ?Soon, Cao Cao said again: "There is a dispute in Dongjun today. I wonder if you, sir, can give me some advice?"


    “The mountains stand tall and the scenery stops.” Xi Zhicai said slowly.


    ??Cao Cao read it several times, and then said: "I am stupid and don''t know what it means. Sir, can you explain it in detail?"


    Xi Zhicai burst out laughing, scratched his tangled hair, and said, "Don''t make fun of me, Mr. Cao... If you really don''t know, why did you send people to spread the word about Jinan?"


    ???Cao Cao laughed twice and did not refute. Instead, he stood up, bowed to Xi Zhicai solemnly on the ground, and said: "Cao Cao invites you to take up the post of Dongjun. I hope you won''t refuse!"


    Xi Zhicai pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Can I have some wine?" Although he was talking about wine, he was actually talking about another thing...


    ??Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "If you can come, sir, there will definitely be good wine!"


    "So..." Xi Zhicai stood up and bowed down in front of Cao Cao, "Zhicai pays homage to Duke Cao!"


    ??Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but did not notice that Wei Jian behind him silently lowered his head, hiding the cold light flowing out of his eyes...


    Cao Cao escaped from the fire of Chibi and Guan Yu''s sword, and finally rested in Nanjun.


    Everyone was drinking wine to celebrate their escape, and Cao Cao suddenly burst into tears.


    The counselors asked: "The Prime Minister was escaping from the tiger''s den, showing no fear at all, laughing all the way, but now he is crying bitterly?"


    Cao Cao said: "I cry for Guo Fengxiao''er. Filial piety is filial piety. For all the countries in the world, for thousands of years, there is only one Fengxiao. How can a thousand or ten thousand other counselors be able to replace him?"


    All the counselors were silent and ashamed.
