Chapter 205: As bright as the sun! [Subscribe]

Before Cao Cao returned, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others also returned to Changyi one after another.

Everyone came to the city gate, ready to welcome Boss Cao.

It's drizzling.

Guo Jia sat in a car to avoid the rain, feeling relaxed and contented.

Opposite him is his good fellow patient Xi Zhicai.

The two brothers drank together, what they held was the wine jug, and what they poured out was the medicinal soup.

The pain involved can only be understood by those who share the same suffering.

They each had a cup and tasted it after finishing.

The taste is a bit sweet.

Guo Jia asked: "How is your health recently?"

This is a unique way of communication between patients.

But Xi Zhicai was afraid of falling into a trap, so he did not answer but asked: "What about you?"

Guo Jia straightened his back imperceptibly: "I came back a day before you and went to see Doctor Hua. He said that I was almost fully recovered and the symptoms were almost completely cured."

Xi Zhicai asked doubtfully: "That's not right."

"I went to see Doctor Hua a day later, and he didn't say that. He told me that Fengxiao, your physical weakness has not recovered at all."

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Don't try to deceive me. There's no need for us to test each other. Everything I said is true!"

Xi Zhicai heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that you are really well. Fine then, this medicinal wine belongs to me."

He reached out and picked up the small medicine bottle, holding it in front of himself.

"I heard that this medicine was prepared by the Chinese doctor with great care. Each dose is very precious, and the medicinal materials are especially rare. Since you are well, it would be a waste to use it. Give it to me."

Guo Jia glanced at the medicine bottle and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Brother Xi Zhicai is too unreliable. He obviously set a trap.

Guo Jia either had to admit that he was weak or he had to pay with an expensive potion.

Guo Jia thought about it, then reached out and took the medicine pot back:

"Zhicai, we should form an alliance and deal with Jia Wenhe together. We should face the outside world instead of internal conflicts!"

Xi Zhicai asked in surprise: "Deal with Jia Wenhe, why?"

"Some time ago, I was busy with everything and everyone was busy with work, so I didn't tell you."

"You and I, the inhumane things we did a few months ago, do you still remember?"

Guo Jia said: "That is not due to a weak constitution at all. Jia Wenhe wanted to make fun of us and gave us medicine."

"what?"

Xi Zhicai asked solemnly: "Are you sure?"

"of course."

Guo Jia said confidently: "Jia Wenhe acted very carefully, but he could not hide it from me. He instructed a waiter who was boiling the medicine soup to give us the medicine at a fixed time and place."

"If we don't punish him, he will look down on us for nothing."

Xi Zhicai pondered and said, “I was told that you were always targeting Jia Wenhe some time ago.

But he has no grudge against the two of us, especially me, who has never provoked him. Why would he drug the two of us?"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said, "Fengxiao, think about it carefully. Maybe it's not Jia Wenhe. There is someone behind him..."

Guo Jia lowered his voice and said, "Of course I know this, Jia Wenhe must be the governor behind him.

But think about it, we dare not take revenge on the governor, otherwise why don't we continue to work in Yanzhou?"

Makes sense.

When you bully someone, you have to pick on the honest ones.

They didn't dare to deal with Cao Cao.

But if the two of them join forces, they will have no problem dealing with Jia Xu.

"Jia Wen and that man are very strategic. It may not be easy to plot against him."

Xi Zhicai: "He is on guard everywhere, more cautious than the governor."

Guo Jia said: "At the beginning, I was just like you, always wanting to scheme against him. Later, I figured it out. We are used to using the means of planning and layout, and there is a misunderstanding, which is always wanting to scheme against others.

But dealing with Jia Xu doesn’t need to be so troublesome.”

"Find an opportunity, put a sack on him, beat him with a stick, and then run away."

Xi Zhicai frowned: "It would be bad if he hit me too hard, we are all working under the governor!"

"We won't beat him to death, we'll just teach him a lesson. And he definitely won't think that we were the ones who hit him with a club."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai swore an oath of blood covenant.

At this time, Xun Yu came out of the city. When the two met, they knew that judging from Xun Yu's busyness, Cao Cao must have returned and Xun Yu came at the right time.

The two also got out of the car.

As expected, Cao Cao's carriage appeared within sight.

Cao Cao, who was in the car, was lifting the curtain.

Yin came running over to greet them from the rain with the joyful strides of a tiger.

It is already three years old, very powerful, fat and strong.

Yin not only came to welcome Cao Cao, but also shouldered an important mission to deliver a letter.

It was inconvenient for Diao Chan and other female relatives to leave the house, so they hung a small basket around Yin's neck.

Yin came running over happily, followed by Rui, whose size was almost as big as an adult leopard.

The surrounding military is on martial law, so only these two can get close.

Cao Cao reached out from the car and opened the small basket around Yin's neck, who was standing up and lying on the car window.

There is a raincoat covering the outside of the basket to protect against rain.

Take out a piece of paper from it, on which is written Diao Chan's beautiful handwriting, expressing her longing...

After reading the letter, Cao Cao put it away. He looked up and saw Yin trying hard to stick his paw in from outside the car and waiting there without retracting it.

Cao Cao patted its paws twice, and Yin happily retracted its huge tiger head and claws.

When it was young, it saw Cao Cao and Diao Chan and touched their hands and feet. It still remembers this scene. It thinks that touching their big paws when meeting is the most intimate expression.

It retracted its claws and trotted beside the carriage to protect it.

When Cao Cao got off the car, there were many people outside the city to greet him, including many nobles.

The group returned to the city and discussed various matters before dispersing.

Cao Cao returned to the rear quarters.

Jia Xu was also preparing to return to his residence.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly became alert. When he turned around, he saw Guo Jia standing not far away. He looked away only when he saw Guo Jia turning around.

Jia Xu took a few steps and looked back.

This time, Xi Zhicai also appeared at the porch, standing side by side with Guo Jia.

Jia Xu was thoughtful and quickly returned to his residence. He was always extremely alert.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai looked at him from a distance, and Jia Xu felt something was wrong.

He thought about the intersection between himself and Guo Fengxiao, and soon thought of a possibility: Guo Fengxiao knew that the governor asked me to drug him, and he wanted to take revenge on me...

After some careful consideration, Jia Xu wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Xi Zhicai.

Here, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia separated and planned to return to their own residences.

Jia Xu's men came in the rain to deliver a letter to him.

Content: I was ordered by the governor to treat Guo Fengxiao and used some medicine on him. But I never used medicine on you. Guo Fengxiao wanted to deal with me and drag you into the water. He used medicine on you. Don't be fooled...

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a long while.

If you think about it carefully, it is possible that Guo Jia really did this.

Xi Zhicai had previously wondered why Jia Xu drugged himself since he and he didn’t have much interaction.

However, Jia Xu is also a big suspect, perhaps he is trying to sow discord.

The competition among advisers within Cao's camp was more complicated and turbulent than the external fights, and it was difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends.

Xi Zhicai's head hurt from thinking about it, and he was still not sure who was the enemy and who was the friend.

He decided to observe and see.

Cao Cao walked calmly back to the backyard.

After being away for two months, I didn't feel that home was a land of comfort when I had important things to do, but when I came back, I felt a little warm inside and was ready to treat my illness first.

Rainy weather.

Lamps were lit in the bedroom in the afternoon.

Cao Cao went to the side room to see his daughter first.

My daughter is sleeping. She has fair skin, long and thick eyelashes, and a chubby face. She is extremely cute.

Cao Cao returned to the main hall, but Yu Qing was not there.

He followed the sound and came to the hot spring connected to the inner corridor of the bedroom.

The back hall was filled with hot air.

In the misty fog, there is a mermaid as beautiful as a jade sculpture swimming in the pool.

Cao Cao came in, and the mermaid smiled sweetly and called out in a charming voice, "Husband!"

Cao Cao: "Qing'er knows I'm back and is waiting in the pool. It's convenient. I don't have to wash after I'm done."

Yu Qing spat lightly, but her heart was filled with joy.

She stepped out of the pool, her skin so white that it was dazzling, and helped Cao Cao undress.

The pool is full of waves...wave after wave.

I don’t know how long it took, but after Yu Qing’s incident, he chatted with Cao Cao for a while about what had happened since they last met, and then fell asleep out of sleepiness.

Cao Cao seemed to be in high spirits and not sleepy at all.

Night is falling.

Cao Cao got up and practiced to cultivate his energy, circulate it throughout his body, then put on his clothes and went to the front yard.

In the side hall of the directors in the front yard of the governor's mansion, Xun Yu had not yet gone to bed and was still handling official business.

When Cao Cao came in, Xun Yu stood up in surprise, obviously not expecting that Cao Cao would come at night when he first returned.

"I was away for two months, thank goodness you were in Changyi. I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you." Cao Cao said as he sat down.

"I just happened to have something to say to the governor."

Xun Yu took out a leather scroll from the low mat, which was a map.

The scroll unfolds.

The Sizhou, Yanzhou, Nanyang, Yuzhou, Xuzhou above it, Qingzhou to the north, and a small area of ​​Bingzhou have been connected into one.

Cao Cao looked at the map and thought: If Xun Yu were alive in later generations, he would definitely be a workaholic.

He enjoys the sense of accomplishment of getting things done, so he can do it day after day for years.

Xun Yu said: "Our Yanzhou now governs four states and hundreds of cities. This time the governor of the state used troops and left Yecheng and returned.

In one month, there were as many as 222 volumes of letters of congratulation, from the emperor to the nobles.

"The prestige of Yanzhou is like the sun shining in all directions."

At this time, Jia Xu came in from outside and interrupted Xun Yu: "I received some news and wanted to discuss it with Sima Xun, but I didn't expect the governor to be here too."

He sat down at the side table.

"what news?"

"About Yuan Shu."

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Gonglu is ready to become emperor."

At this stage, apart from gaining a title, the disadvantages of becoming an emperor actually outweigh the advantages.

Because the situation is still unclear.

Yuan Shu was not the most powerful one and could not resist all parties.

But Yuan Shu's declaration of emperorship was a great thing for Cao's camp.

Cao Cao gave Yuan Shu a chance to live because he was waiting for him to become emperor and serve as his vanguard.

Once he becomes emperor, many things will change.

"Yuan Shu now only needs a suitable opportunity to seize the opportunity and openly declare himself emperor."

Jia Xu said: "I have a plan that can speed up his enthronement, advance the situation, and benefit the subsequent development of Yanzhou.

When Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake, the people spread the rumor that he was the son of the Red Emperor and was granted the Mandate of Heaven. Emperor Gaozu took the opportunity to start an uprising and received responses from all directions.

What Yuan Shu lacked when he proclaimed himself emperor was the momentum of "auspicious signs" to support him.

Yanzhou can push in secret and help Yuan Shu create a "Mandate of Heaven".

Yuan Shu was pushed to the cusp of becoming emperor, but two people were attacked at the same time.

After all, Yuan Shu is a member of the Yuan family. Once he proclaims himself emperor, it will have a significant negative impact on Yuan Shao, who is in the process of integrating forces and uniting various parties.

"The area controlled by Yuan Shu is adjacent to water, so we can make use of the water."

The three of them started discussing.

"Where is Liu Xuande now?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.

According to history, Liu Bei should have surrendered to Cao Cao after his failure in conquering Xuzhou.

Then when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting, Liu Bei defected and stabbed Cao Cao in the back.

But this matter has clearly gone astray from history.

Cao Cao was not sure whether it was some of his actions, or the fact that Yanzhou was now too strong, that made Liu Bei alert and scared him away.

Liu Bei never came to Yanzhou to make a living under Cao Cao.

After the ambush on Lu Bu that night, Liu Bei disappeared with the second and third brothers.

Cao Cao was busy attacking Ye City and had no time to ask Liu Bei where he was going.
