Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

Chapter 113

After Yuan Shu died, his eyes were still open.After a while, someone was driven by greed and boldly searched his body, looking for the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

The strange thing is: searched Yuan Shu's whole body, even searched the pavilion where he rested several times, but found nothing useful.These people didn't believe in evil, and even unwrapped the sachet that Yuan Shu was carrying with him, there were some herbs and a handful of women's hair inside.

Yuan Shu's generals Qi Ji and Qin Yi were depressed for a long time, and led the remnant soldiers to surrender to Cao Cao.

When I arrived in Xudu and inquired, I found out that the jade seal had long been collected by Donghai Prime Minister Xu Wei, hid in Ma Rizun's coffin, and transported to Xudu together with Jin Shang's coffin, and dedicated the jade seal to the "imperial court".

At that time, Grand Tutor Ma Rixun was ordered to go to Yuan Shu as an envoy, but Yuan Shu forcibly detained him and forced him to serve as a military adviser. Died of illness in sorrow and anger.

As for Jin Shang, the name may be familiar to everyone. He is the governor of Yanzhou appointed by the imperial court after Cao Cao took over Yanzhou.Jin Shang did not have the strength to compete with Cao Cao for Yanzhou, and was unable to serve as governor of Yanzhou, so he had to go to Yuan Shu.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shuxun claimed to be the emperor and insisted on having Jin Shang as a captain. He refused to be rebellious, contradicted Yuan Shu, and tried to escape, but was killed by Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao opened the box containing the jade seal, picked up the Chuanguo jade seal and looked at it. It was carved from a whole piece of Lantian jade, with a radius of four inches, and a corner was missing. It was filled with gold, engraved with dragon patterns, and engraved with "" Ordered by the sky, you will live forever and prosper" in eight seal characters.

He put the jade seal back into the brocade box, let Dong Zhao send it to the palace, and handed it to the emperor Liu Xie for review.

Cao Cao reminisced about the past, sighed, and said to Xun Yu, "Unexpectedly, Jin Yuanxiu (Jin Shang) is still a minister of integrity. Who else is in his family?"

Jin Shang is a celebrity in Jingzhao, and Cao Cao is also somewhat responsible for his fate.He asked this in order to treat Jin Shang's nephew favorably.

"Jin Yuanxiu's eldest son, Jin Wei, is young and weak, and lives in Xudu." Xun Yu frowned slightly, and Cao Cao's expression when he took the imperial seal made him feel uneasy.

Cao Cao ordered Jin Wei to be recruited as Yilang, and commended loyal ministers, and organized hundreds of officials to pay homage to Jin Shang.He also planned to bury Jin Shang and Ma Rizun.

Kong Rong objected: "Ma Rixun took the emperor's fashion and was ordered to handle local affairs, but he actually flattered the traitors... The court ministers lost their integrity, can they use threats as an excuse? Moreover, Yuan Shu's rebellion did not happen overnight. Ma Rixun He spent many years in Huainan. The "Law of the Han Dynasty" stipulates: If you have been in contact with a criminal for more than three days, you will be regarded as an insider...Ma Rizun's crime is not pursued, it is already very lenient, and there should be no more courtesy."

It is said that Kong Rong's performance as an envoy to Yuan Shao was not much better than that of Ma Rixun. After returning, he was promoted to an official, and now he is the Shaofu of one of the Nine Ministers.

The deceased was the most important, Ma Rixun was detained by Yuan Shu, it was really helpless, Kong Rong's words were too harsh.But according to the "Han Law", Ma Rixun was indeed guilty.

Cao Cao thought for a while, accepted Kong Rong's opinion, and only buried Jin Shang.

Previously, Cao Jun's way back to Xudu from Yangzhou happened to be the rainy season.

Guo Jia and Cao Ang rushed thousands of miles to attack Qichun City, their bodies were a bit overwhelmed, just in time for the continuous rainy season, the weather was hot and humid, and the food and tents were moldy.Guo Jia unfortunately fell ill again.

The light rain kept falling, and Cao Jun won a complete victory in this battle. From the general to the soldiers in the battalion, they were a little lax.

Soldier A murmured to himself, "I heard that Guo Jijiu went out with the army and brought an alchemist who is proficient in medicine from home. Could it be that he knew he would get sick when he was in Xudu?"

Soldier B proudly put his hands on his hips: "New here, didn't I tell you that Guo Jijiu is a plan, of course he already knew."

The generals who happened to pass by couldn't help laughing.

Guo Jia coughed twice: I don't want to be so exhaustive...

Cao Cao held an umbrella for Guo Jia in public, walked together in the rain, entered the tent of the Chinese army, invited Guo Jia to sit with him as usual, and asked his eldest son Cao Ang to serve the decoction with his own hands.

Everyone has seen the lord's unusual courtesy to Guo Jijiu, and they have become numb to what they should do now, and it will not be affected at all.What's more, Guo Jia is easy-going and easy-going, he drinks boldly, and has a good popularity. Many generals respect him very much.

After the war, there are still many things to deal with.For example, in the handover of government affairs for the new site, Cao Cao expressed strictness as the governor of Yangzhou.

This Yan Xiang is a well-known scholar in Jingzhao, quite courageous and capable of both civil and military skills.Recommended by Xun Yu to Cao Cao, he initially served as the military governor.Now that Cao Jun occupies Shouchun and other places in Yangzhou, he needs a capable person to stay here to preside over the overall situation.

Cao Cao still had to fight Yuan Shao, and he couldn't do without Xun You, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai to make suggestions. Liu Ye is a son of the clan and has a sensitive identity.After Cao Cao thought about it, only Yan Xiang could stay.

All matters were discussed one by one, and the generals took orders to leave one after another.

After the rain, the heat was unbearable. When discussing matters, Guo Jia held on to his spirits. At this moment, only Cao Cao and a few friends were left in the tent of the Chinese army. , This ghost weather, if I go south, I won’t survive.”

(The climate in the south is hot and humid, and it is easy to get sick. If a frail and sick person like me goes to the south, he will definitely not come back alive.)

Everyone thought the words were very ominous, so Xun You spat and said, "This is an unlucky word, so don't say it again."

Cao Cao glared at Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, how can you say that you won't survive in front of people ten years older than you?"

Xi Zhicai frowned, thoughtful.

Guo Jia just expressed his feelings and said it casually. He also felt unlucky at this time. He smiled and drank the last bit of soup in the bowl in a posture that resembled drinking.

Cao Cao's old feelings were very comforting, Guo Fengxiao drank the medicine, he neither poured it out secretly nor played tricks, which is extremely rare.

Then, Guo Jia gave Xi Zhicai a look of begging for praise, but after being ignored, he tugged on Xi Zhicai's sleeve and clamored for glutinous rice cake.

Cao Cao and Xun You: "..." Sure enough, you can't expect too much from someone.

Xi Zhicai actually squeezed out time, rolled up his sleeves, set up an iron pan, and fried a few pieces of glutinous rice cakes for Guo Jia.The glutinous rice cake, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, is wrapped in a layer of jasmine flowers and sprinkled with brown sugar juice. Cao Cao is also a little greedy when he looks at it.

The rebellious minister Yuan Shu was destroyed, and the lost Imperial Seal returned to the emperor. The prestige of the court in Xudu was finally established, and small separatist forces in Xuzhou and Guanzhong surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was rewarded for his meritorious service, and most of Cao Ying's generals were promoted to a higher level.Among them, Xiahou Dun led the prefect of Jiyin and was a feudal military general.Zhao Ang led Chenliu as the prefect, and Cao Ang served as the captain of Zhechong.Zang Ba, a surrendered general from Xuzhou, was appointed Prime Minister of Langya, and Sun Guan was appointed Captain of Cavalry, and their soldiers and horses were still under their own command.

As the saying goes, "There is no first in writing, and there is no second in martial arts." Most military generals are violent, and there are generals who compete with each other in the school field every day, and compete in force.Cao Ying is very lively now.Today Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fight Lu Bu, tomorrow Zhang Liao fights Zhang Xiu, and the next day Xu Chuyue fights Dian Wei.It is difficult for Cao Cao to use both kindness and power to restrain these people.

Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, paid tribute to abalone.Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the tributes in the coastal areas were cut off. After a few years, all the officials once again ate delicious and tender abalone at the palace banquet, and they were full of emotions.

Xun Yu only took a sip or two of delicious food and wine, then put down his chopsticks, and glanced at an empty seat, which was Guo Jia's seat. He was ill and did not come to the banquet.

The Minister of the East China Sea, Xu Yu, presented the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, and served Cao Cao with soup at the palace banquet, with a flattering attitude.

Situ Zhao Wen couldn't understand Xu Wei's behavior, so he asked him sarcastically in front of all the officials: "You have suffered a great disaster, have you kept this (jade seal)?"

The expressions of the officials and ministers were all different. Xu Wei was held hostage by the rebellious minister Yuan Shu, and he was regarded as a guest of honour. In public, he flattered Cao Cao and invited him to favor him.

Xu Que made a bow, and replied unhurriedly: "Su Wu was trapped by the Huns in the past, and he never fell to the seven-foot knot, let alone the seal of this square inch?"

What he said was neither humble nor overbearing, compared to Su Wu's integrity, it was quite level.Cao Cao clasped his palms and laughed, expressing that Xu Yu was Taichang, the head of the Jiuqing, in charge of ancestral temple etiquette, rites, music and sacrifices, and also in charge of the selection of Taixue doctors.

On the second day after the celebration banquet, Chen Deng paid a private visit to Cao Cao, saying that Sun Ce, the underlord, has always had the ambition of a hero. If he is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong, he will definitely covet Xuzhou, and even the world.I hope Cao Cao will send some troops to him. He intends to clean up the hidden dangers in Jiangdong for the court.

Cao Cao didn't believe Chen Deng's words at all.At present, there are still powers such as Hua Xin, the prefect of Yuzhang in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce cannot dominate one side. Moreover, Sun Ce sent Zhang Hong to Xudu as an envoy to present tribute to show his submission.

Cao Cao detained Jiangdong's emissary Zhang Hong, of course, not by means of detention, but by appointing Zhang Hong as the censor, so that he had no reason to return to Jiangdong.

Sun Ce didn't show any dissatisfaction, and happily accepted Cao Cao's reward, and served as the rebellious general and Wuhou.

Therefore, Cao Cao didn't think Sun Ce was too much of a threat.He believed that Chen Deng said that Sun Ce had ambitions because Chen Deng's uncle, Chen Yu, the prefect of Wujun, conspired to seize Sun Ce's territory and was defeated by Sun Ce.Chen Deng wants to get some soldiers and horses to help his uncle.

For Cao Cao, the Chen family in Xiapi can influence Xuzhou's government affairs. Yuzhang prefect Hua Xin, Guozi Jijiu Zheng Xuan, famous scholar Guan Ning and others are all disciples of the Taiwei Chen Qiu. The potential threat of this kind of aristocratic family is far greater than that of Sun Ce.

However, Cao Cao was able to get Xuzhou thanks to Xiapi Chen's efforts. In order to appease Chen Deng, Cao Cao promised to make Chen Deng General Fubo and hold a banquet for him.Hearing that Chen Deng likes to eat raw fish, Cao Cao sent someone to invite the cook of Guo's mansion to cook this dish.

Chen Deng was also a man of resourcefulness, and instantly understood that Cao Cao could not trust him, and if Guo Jia was not still ill, he would not have visited Cao Cao alone.

It seems that he still wants to cause trouble for his friends, Chen Deng picked up a thin piece of almost transparent raw fish and slowly put it into his mouth.The fresh and delicious fish fillets satisfy the taste buds greatly. The fish is marinated in wine, dotted with red pepper, yellow ginger, and green parsley. The sauce is rich, beautiful and delicious. It's like the craftsmanship of Guo Jiana's cook.
