"If God had not given birth to me, Guo Fengxiao, I would have been searching for the right path for eternity like a long night!"
Guo Jia's heroic voice seemed to still echo in the sky above the General's Mansion, but in fact he was already drunk and turned into a puddle of mud.
Cao Cao ordered people to take Guo Jia back to the room where he had been released.
I ordered a bowl of hangover soup, sat at the table and read today's diary.
[The long-term success has made me feel a little drifting without realizing it...Fortunately, I have a group of people around me who are willing to remind me.]
"Oh! You, the Great Immortal of Lu, actually have hairy days? And you were tricked? Hahaha!"
There was a surprise for Cao Cao at the beginning. Cao Cao burst out laughing when he saw that Lu Yan was fooled because of his carelessness.
He seems to be very happy when he sees Lu Yan deflated, which is a bit mean!
[This is probably how Boss Cao embarked on the path of arrogance and paranoia.
Unfortunately, Fengxiao was gone by then, and no one could wake up the arrogant Boss Cao.】
Cao Cao's laughter stopped suddenly, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn in an instant.
"I'm... arrogant and paranoid?" Cao Cao couldn't help but reflect on his recent mental and psychological state, "It seems that he has really gotten carried away recently."
Seeing the following sentence "Fengxiao is gone", Cao Cao felt a pain in his heart and thought to himself: "Did he leave or pass away?"
Judging from Guo Jia's current relationship with him, Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia would most likely not abandon him.
Then in the end there is only one answer, which is "Fengxiaohui died young!"
Cao Cao's heart trembled again, and then he couldn't help but recall the previous drinking scene with Guo Jia.
"Mr. Lu has been restricting Guo Jia's drinking, probably to protect his body and prevent him from passing away prematurely... However, what did I do with him? Stay up late? Drink heavily? Listen to music?
Absolutely ridiculous!!”
After Cao Cao reflected for a while, he immediately regretted his actions...
Although Guo Jia is much younger than Cao Cao, his character is very appealing to Cao Cao.
Rather than saying that their relationship is that of a master and his subordinates, it is more appropriate to say that they are that of best friends.
Cao Cao naturally did not want Guo Jia to die young. His hegemony and his ambitions also required Guo Jia to advise him.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao could no longer sit still.
He got up and came outside the house and shouted: "Someone is coming!"
A servant immediately came to Cao Cao and bowed: "What are your orders, General?"
"Go and send Guo Jijiu back to Chenliu and deliver it to General Hussar's house."
"Here!"
"Also, tell the people in General Hussar's house that after Guo Ji sobers up, he will be banned from drinking for three months!"
"Um...I understand, little one..."
"Go ahead."
"Resign."
"You were so high just now, why are you falling out now?" The servant retreated with confusion, shaking his head and lamenting the general's moodiness...
Cao Cao watched his servants retreat, and his extremely guilty mood was slightly relieved.
Back in the house, Cao Cao picked up the diary again and read down.
[Yes, I think I should understand Guo Jia’s plan. By tying Lu Lingqi to our battleship, Lu Bu becomes our potential ally...]
"What is a battleship?" Cao Cao chewed on the word. He was used to the new words that Lu Yan came up from time to time, but he still couldn't help but want to guess their meaning, "Maybe it's some kind of warship used for combat.
car?"
"It turned out to be Fengxiao's plan. You actually tricked Lu Yan with your skills. I have to say...well done!!!" Boss Cao smiled evilly, as if a pair of goat's horns were coming out of his forehead.
"Recovering Lu Lingqi is a good idea, but without a formal appointment, it still doesn't make sense."
Cao Cao thought about Guo Jia's intentions. He felt that he should be able to push forward on this matter.
"Tomorrow I will go to court and ask the emperor to grant Lu Lingqi an official position. This is equivalent to wooing his former benefactor Lu Bu in disguise. I think the emperor should be very willing."
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "I just didn't expect that Mr. Lu's charm is really so great that he can take advantage of both the enemy and us?"
Cao Cao was looking forward to it, and then suddenly what Lu Yan wrote in his diary suddenly appeared in his mind, "No one urges updates, no one urges marriage..."
A bold idea popped up in Cao Cao's mind, "How about... I give him a push on this matter?"
"Marquis Wen's daughter should be worthy of Lu Yan, right?!" As soon as the idea popped up, Cao Cao quickly suppressed it, "No, if one of them is unwilling, then wouldn't I have ruined the service?"
Xiao’s clever plan? Wait for a while and find a chance to test it out..."
Continuing to read, Cao Cao found that Lu Yan spent a lot of words reflecting on and warning himself, "He is indeed a man who wants to become an immortal. He is so introspective and self-disciplined... Sigh, I have to learn more from Mr. Lu!"
"But who is Zhuge? Zhuge should be his surname. If he had been too cautious all his life, what great things could he have accomplished?" Shaking his head, Cao Cao continued to look back.
What follows is almost all Lu Yan’s experiences and reflections on himself, as well as what kind of mentality he should maintain in the future. Cao Cao ended today’s reading after briefly browsing it.
After reading, Cao Cao closed the diary.
"You should be cautious, but you can't be too cautious." Cao Cao still didn't agree with Lu Yan's highly cautious attitude.
Cao Cao believed that people should never be too timid, and sometimes they should be rash when they should be!
This was the case when he assassinated Dong alone, it was the same when he chased Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass, and it was even more like this when Dongjun defeated the Yellow Turban and defeated the Huns.
Cao Cao felt that there was nothing wrong with Lu Yan's introspection, but he should not become cautious just because he was afraid of making mistakes. "You have to take action when it's time to take action. Being too cautious will not go too far after all."
"Emmm... I'd better wait for an opportunity to remind Mr. Lu in a subtle way later. I finally pushed him to the front desk, but I can't push him back because I'm too cautious."
Today's diary records many of Lu Yan's psychological feelings and reflections. Cao Cao also gained a lot from Lu Yan's psychological journey.
Lu Yan's introspection sounded a warning to Cao Cao, "No matter what, it is necessary to remain humble and cautious. Paranoia and arrogance are absolutely unacceptable! Cao Mengde, Mr. Lu's teachings must be kept in mind!"
...
The next day, Guo Jia woke up in a daze.
It took several times for my hazy vision to finally focus.
When he saw the scene in front of him clearly,
He rubbed his painful head and muttered to himself in confusion: "I...why am I in my own home?"
After putting on his clothes with difficulty, Guo Jia opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Guo Jijiu, Lingqi has been waiting for a long time!" Lu Lingqi's voice suddenly came.
Guo Jia was stunned, and it took him two or three seconds to react and asked, "Why are you here?"
Lu Lingqi grinned, then lifted up her sleeves to reveal a small section of her fair arms, and replied: "Come and complete the task assigned by sir!"
