After staying in Juancheng for many days, Lu Yan misses Chenliucheng a little now.
All the things that should be done and should not be done were almost done. After simply packing up, Lu Yan and Man Chong left Juancheng and headed towards Chen Liu.
"Da da da!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the city gate, followed by Guo Jia's clear and slightly hoarse voice, "Wait for me! Changsheng, wait for me!"
After hearing Guo Jia’s voice,
Lu Yan and Man Chong grabbed the reins of their horses and turned around, looking at Guo Jia who was galloping out of the city gate.
Guo Jia's clothes and the scarf on her head looked a little messy, and some of her hair, which was not tied down, was even fluttering wildly.
Lu Yan looked at the slightly embarrassed and hurried Guo Jia with a surprised look on his face, and asked: "What did you do... to someone?"
Guo Jia was confused by Lu Yan's words and looked confused, "What...what is that? I have always been with the master, who can do anything to me?"
"Nothing..." Lu Yan said casually and perfunctorily:
"But I still have to thank you. It's rare that you still have the heart to send us off.
It’s not like that Xi Zhicai, who only sees work, work and work, and didn’t even take a look when we left.”
Guo Jia replied casually while arranging his clothes and headwear:
"I'm not here to see you off, I'm here to go back to Chenliu with you."
Guo Jia's words made Lu Yan stunned. He asked: "That's not right. You and Mr. Cao were so good that you slept together two days ago, so you only have one more person to share the same bed with..."
. Mr. Cao actually didn’t keep you by his side?”
"My lord tried his best to keep me here, but I still rejected him in the end."
Listen, although Guo Jia himself said that he rejected Boss Cao’s offer to stay,
But the title has subconsciously changed from Cao Gong to Lord. He said he was unwilling, but his body was very honest.
Guo Jia didn't seem to realize that he had changed his mind. He just said to Lu Yan:
"I think that with the initial determination of Yanzhou and the newly acquired Yingchuan County,
What the lord needs to do now is not to expand again, but as Mr. Xiaoxian said: 'cultivate the land and accumulate military resources'.
If it is to recuperate, I will not be able to display my talents even if I stay in Juancheng.
I might as well skip work with you, Lu Yan, drink and have a good time."
What is this last sentence called?
Lu Yan couldn't help but glare at Guo Jia, and then winked at him crazily, indicating that there was a newcomer behind him!
"Can't you just check the situation and come back?"
Guo Jia quickly understood the meaning of Lu Yan's face and eyes due to the tacit understanding they had formed over the years.
He looked behind Lu Yan in embarrassment, only to realize that there was really someone else behind Lu Yan...
"Changsheng, where did you kidnap someone back from?" Guo Jia used a joke to resolve the awkwardness in the scene,
Then he raised his hand and asked Man Chong: "My dear Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, do you dare to ask me your name?"
When Man Chong heard that it was Guo Jia who planned to defeat Yuan Shu's army, he immediately bowed his hands and bowed:
"My name is Man Chong, whose courtesy name is Boning. The name of Guo's Military Advisor has long been known to my ears. Seeing him today is so comforting for the rest of my life!"
"Haha, this brother is very good at talking." Guo Jiale happily bowed to him.
Lu Yan saw that there were already more pedestrians coming and going. In order not to disturb other people, the three of them immediately set off back to Chenliu County.
...
"I never expected that in just a few days, Fengxiao would have become my close friend."
After Guo Jia left, Cao Cao suddenly felt a sense of loss, and there was always some emptiness in his heart...
"That's all. Anyway, there won't be any more wars in the near future, so let him go back and enjoy himself with Mr. Lu.
I just have a free day today, so I can finally take a good look at Mr. Lu's diary..."
Cao Cao sat down at the desk, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to read the diaries Lu Yan had accumulated over the past few days.
[In the third year of Chuping, in winter, it’s time to snow again]
"Well... another year has passed before I knew it, but this year is a good harvest year, and I, Cao Mengde, have finally officially become a prince."
With a fairly good mood, Boss Cao continued to look down,
[One general’s success will lead to thousands of bones drying up...]
[I took out 40,000 men, but brought back 8,000 ashes...]
Lu Yan's mood was extremely heavy when he first wrote this, and Boss Cao seemed to feel the same way when he saw this.
However, Cao Cao was used to life and death, and he was ambitious, so he still had some problems with Lu Yan's mentality.
"Sir, it is a good thing to cherish your soldiers, but there are bound to be casualties in war. You are still too soft-hearted after all."
[The only thing I can do now is to get more pensions for the dead soldiers, at least not to let their families starve and freeze.]
[I think another Martyrs’ Shrine should be built to commemorate these warriors who sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland and protect their families.]
When Cao Cao read this, he suddenly patted his forehead with some annoyance.
"It turns out that my husband mentioned it in his diary... It's a pity that I didn't realize it in time because of his sincerity.
It’s all my fault for not updating the diary in time, alas!”
After a moment of frustration, Cao Cao continued to look down.
At this glance,
Sudden!
"Puff!!!" sound,
Cao Cao actually choked on the tea soup in his mouth and spurted it out from his nose!
"Cough cough cough!!!" Boss Cao hurriedly wiped the tea mixed with the unknown liquid from the diary.
"Fortunately, okay, I don't know what this diary is made of, but it is actually invulnerable to water and fire. Otherwise, you might be punished by the gods for ruining such a magical thing..."
[Boss Cao attacked Xuzhou with the excuse that Mr. Cao was killed...]
"Oh my...god!"
The moment Cao Cao saw this sentence, he almost choked to death.
Although he knew that a safe arrangement had been made, Cao Cao still had a feeling of shock in his heart, which was beating crazily.
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Cao Cao suddenly remembered the way Lu Yan looked at him during the day yesterday, and why he suddenly asked him about his excuse for sending troops to Xuzhou.
"No wonder you look at me like that, no wonder you ask me why I want to send troops in the future..."
"Crack!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but give himself a big scratch on his ear, and the pain immediately made him grin.
"I'm such a bastard!
I know that there will be extremely important information in your husband's diary from time to time.
And I actually didn't catch up on the update in time for several days...
I simply can’t imagine if my father was killed by Tao Qian..."
When Cao Cao thought of this, he suddenly figured out a doubt that had been bothering him for a long time, "I finally understand. I understand why Mr. Lu said before that I would massacre Xuzhou City in the future. The original reason is here!"
In fact, Cao Cao slaughtered not only the city of Xuzhou, but most of Xuzhou!
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records:
In the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao attacked Qian and defeated Fu Yang in Pengcheng.
He retreated modestly to protect Tan. If he could not be defeated by the attack, he returned.
They were all slaughtered in Juling and Xiaqiu.
Hundreds of thousands of men and women were killed, and no chickens or dogs were left. The Surabaya River was not allowed to flow, so it was the protection of the five counties and there was no trace of it again.
This means that after Cao Cao captured Chulu, Juling, and Xiaqiu, he began to massacre the people in Xuzhou.
Not only did he kill hundreds of thousands of people, he even left no chickens or dogs alive.
Xuzhou's Surabaya River cannot flow anymore because there are so many corpses piled up!
This kind of scene is simply unimaginable! It’s so heartless!
Thinking of this,
Cao Cao suddenly stood up and bowed to Chen Liujun, and then he shouted at the top of his lungs:
