Guo Jia, named Fengxiao, was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan. He was born in the Guo family of Yingchuan. He was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, but he left Yuan Shao soon after.
In later generations, before he left, he said to Xin Pingguo Tu: "A wise person can measure his master carefully and thoughtfully, so all his actions are thorough, so that he can achieve success and fame. Duke Yuan only wanted to imitate Zhou Gong's courtesy and virtuous corporal, but he
He doesn’t know much about how to use talents. He has many thoughts but lacks the essentials. He likes to plan but has no decisiveness. It is really difficult to work with him to save the country from danger and build the great cause of becoming king and hegemony!"
From then on, Guo Jia disappeared. It was not until Xi Zhi passed away a few years later that Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to join Cao Cao. After that, Guo Jia made a lot of contributions.
Of course Yuan Xi felt that Guo Jia was an excellent counselor candidate, but firstly Guo Jia had offended Yuan Shao, and secondly the place where Guo Jia lived in seclusion was probably his hometown Yingchuan.
Yingchuan County is in Yuzhou, controlled by Cao Cao and Yuan Shu respectively. Yuan Xi is across Yanzhou, so it is difficult for Yuan Xi to go to Yingchuan to recruit people, and even if he sees it, he has little hope.
Guo Jia has a very high vision, and even Yuan Shao looks down on him. At this time, Cao Cao is not in his eyes, otherwise Guo Jia would have gone to seek refuge long ago, let alone Yuan Xi, a junior?
In addition, Yuan Xi had been busy fighting, so he gradually gave up on this idea, until he instigated Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao, then blackmailed Cao Cao, and came to Yanzhou for negotiations.
When he saw Cheng Yu for the first time, an idea popped up uncontrollably.
It's Cheng Yu who comes, not Xi Zhicai or Xun Yu, so maybe it will work!
Although Cheng Yu was loyal to Cao Cao, his bottom line was very low.
"The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Biography of Cheng Yu" says that Cheng Yu was "strong and violent in nature, and he got along with many people", which means that Cheng Yu had an eccentric personality and a bad temper.
Since Cheng Yu can slaughter his hometown, if he is given enough exchange chips, he may do unimaginable things.
Yuan Xi's idea was very simple. Since he couldn't find Guo Jia, what if he asked someone else to send Guo Jia over?
If Guo Jia is unwilling to surrender to Corporal Li Xian alone, then what if he changes his mind and goes directly to force him?
He found Tian Feng and revealed his thoughts. How could Cheng Yu send Guo Jia over without leaving any trace?
Tian Feng owed Yuan Xi a favor, and several of the Tian family's children had been assigned official positions in Youzhou, so when he heard Yuan Xi's request, he agreed without hesitation.
If Yuan Xi went to mention it, Cheng Yu would probably see through it, but Tian Feng was an old fox who had been in the gentry circles for many years, so he was certainly good at this.
After Tian Feng had been talking to each other for two days, Cheng Yu was tired of it. Seeing that the time was ripe, Tian Feng took the opportunity to propose that several nobles had offended Yuan Shao back then, and now Yuan Shao wanted to punish them.
If those people can be kidnapped, they can replace the Cao family's children!
Cheng Yu was reluctant at first, but if Tian Feng insisted not to do so, he could only let Cao Pi and Cao Zhi be used as hostages.
Cheng Yu naturally refused even more. This was Cao Cao's weakness. If he agreed, what would Cao Cao think if he returned?
However, after hearing the names of the noble families proposed by Tian Feng, Cheng Yu became even more confused.
Several of them are familiar with him!
In the end, Cheng Yu chose Guo Jia, who was the least famous among them and had the least relationship with him.
According to records, when Guo Jia was weak at that time, he secretly made friends with heroes and did not interact with the world, so his reputation was not obvious.
Yuan Shao liked famous scholars and celebrities, but did not pay much attention to ordinary nobles. Therefore, when Guo Jia went to Yuan Shao, he felt neglected, so he left angrily, and when he left, he sprayed Yuan Shao.
Tian Feng used this incident as an excuse to ask Cheng Yu to exchange Guo Jia and others. Of course, the others were just a cover-up.
Cheng Yu was a man of action and always did what he said. As soon as he made up his mind, he mobilized private soldiers and rushed to Yangdi, Yingchuan overnight, and secretly kidnapped Guo Jia's family.
In Cheng Yu's mind, Guo Jia was just an insignificant figure at this time, and it was most suitable to replace Cao Cao's heirs.
Guo Jia was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. He was sleeping at home, but he was tied into a carriage by a group of wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers, and was taken to Dongwuyang inexplicably.
The reason why Yuan Xi was so hesitant about the two sisters' request was because his real purpose was to switch to Guo Jia, so he didn't want to cause any complications.
Although Guo Jia may not be able to be used by him, at least Cao Cao cannot use him.
After Guo Jia was kidnapped, Yuan Xi felt a stone fall in his heart, so he went to Tian Feng to plan the exchange of Huan's family.
Tian Feng was extremely forceful. After Yuan Xi said that he would bear the consequences of the matter, Tian Feng went to bargain with Cheng Yu and named Huan's mother and daughter.
Cheng Yu also guessed that it was because of the concession, and he understood that the Huan family's rare goods were worth living in. This was actually much more difficult than exchanging Guo Jia.
In the end, the two parties finally reached an agreement with great difficulty, exchanging the Huan clan for Guo Jia, and all the friends of the Cheng Yu clan who had enmity with Yuan Shao were happy.
Yuan Xi was overjoyed, but he remained silent in front of Cheng Yu and Yu Jin. It was not until Cao Jun had all left that he found Guo Jia, showing the face of a villain who had succeeded.
He smiled at Guo Jia and said, "I am Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family. I am here to ask for my father. Do you still remember what you said when you left Yecheng?"
"Mr. Fengxiao, I'm afraid that your future will be worrying when you return to Yecheng this time."
Guo Jia calmed down, looked at Yuan Xi coldly, and said: "At worst, it's just death, so why should I be afraid!"
"Okay!" Yuan Xi clapped his hands, "I just admire Mr. Fengxiao's backbone!"
He clapped his hands and Shi Shiran walked out, "Everyone has to die. It's a pity that the beautiful woman can no longer enjoy the wine. What a pity!"
Seeing the door of the house closed, Guo Jia felt extremely aggrieved. How did the Yuan family know that he liked wine and beautiful women?
When I left Yuan Shao, I vented my anger. I didn't expect that the Yuan family with a reputation for benevolence and righteousness would be so petty. I was caught back again, and I was depressed!
Yuan Xi was still in Dongwuyang controlled by Cao Cao at this time, so he deliberately pretended to be hostile to Guo Jia to avoid being found out.
Most of the hostages he exchanged this time were used for his own personal gain, but it made sense on the surface. At least Cao Cao had sent his father over. This trip was considered a mission accomplished, and it was time to go back.
He discussed with Tian Feng and Zhao Yun and decided to take these Cao family members and set off immediately to avoid a long night and many dreams.
With this order, the people in the mansion packed their bags in a panic. Although as nobles, they had carriages to ride in, and they would not have to trek alone like civilian servants, but being in such a hurry to leave made them feel guilty.
More and more scared.
Of course, there are exceptions among them. The Huan family, mother and daughter, are full of expectations.
After all, no matter how bad the situation was, nothing could be worse than the experience of being a concubine of the Cao family.
It was not that Huan had never thought about seeking death, but what would happen to her daughters after death made her shudder, even beyond her fear of death.
This is life worse than death, right?
Now she can finally see a glimmer of light.
When Yuan Xi and Wu Zhao appeared in front of her, Huan immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking her for saving her life.
At that time, the concubine's clothes barely covered her breasts. From the perspective of Yuan Xi, who was standing, he saw only white flowers. He immediately turned away and asked Wu Zhao to help Huanshi get up.
Unexpectedly, Huan paid homage to Wu Zhao again: "Thank you very much for saving my life. I was young at the time and may have forgotten that I and my husband are here..."
Yuan Xi changed his color and said: "Shut up."
Was Wu Zhao recognized?
Only then did Huan react, his face turned pale, and he kowtowed: "I am stupid, I will never reveal a word, otherwise the sky will strike like lightning and my whole family will die!"
Yuan Xi had murderous intent at that moment. Hearing Huan's swearing, he remembered that he had said similar words to Beixin City at that time, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Yuan Xi's face changed for a long time, and finally he said to Huan's mother and daughter: "When we set off later, you and I will ride in a carriage. I have something to ask you."
Half an hour later, carriages lined up in long queues. The Cao family members filed into the carriages. Under the escort of soldiers, the convoy drove out of the city.
Guo Jia was put into a separate carriage and his feet were tied, which made him quite unhappy.
Tian Feng was dumbfounded as he watched Huan and her daughter get into Yuan Xi's carriage, and it took him a while to react.
Is Second Young Master Yuan such a person?
Are you having so much fun?
Hey, today's young people are amazing. Every generation of new people is really better than the old ones.
Only Zhao Yun looked calm, still sitting upright on his horse, looking around warily.
The convoy left Dongwu Yangcheng, turned west, and headed straight for Wei County.
Inside the carriage, Wu Zhao took off his veil and said to Huan, "How did Madam recognize me?"
She thought it was really weird, her face had become like this, Dong Zhao could recognize her, Huan Shi could also recognize her, could it be that there were some obvious marks on her face?
Impossible?
Yuan Xi saw Huan looking at him anxiously and said, "It doesn't matter, just say it."
Only then did Huan speak out: "Young lady may not know that even if you change your appearance to this, it is rare to see someone with such regular facial features. I am very impressed by this."
"What's more, the girl's appearance has not changed much between when she was a child and now. In addition, she is answering questions with my daughter, so she is obviously very familiar with her late husband's poems."
"There are very few noble women like this in the world, so I boldly guessed it."
Yuan Xi nodded. Sometimes, while identifying other people's identities, one's own details will also be exposed. This is also a lesson.
But now a headache has come. The Huan family and her daughter know the details of Wu Zhao, and it is inevitable that they will not leak it in the future.
He said directly to Wu Zhao: "What do you think should be done with them?"
As soon as these words came out, Huan's mother and daughter trembled slightly.
Wu Zhao chuckled, "Young master, what you said is as if you want to silence me."
"Besides, my identity is not a big deal."
Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "But I'm a little worried."
Wu Zhao was moved, she shook her head, and then said: "It's okay."
"I have been sorting out Confucian scriptures recently. There are many things around the young master that I cannot take care of. If the young master is worried, it is better to let them help take care of the things around him."
"Otherwise there is no one to protect them in Yecheng, and we don't know what difficulties they will encounter."
As soon as these words came out, Huan's mother and daughter had not yet reacted. Yuan Xi was stunned and said: "They are giving in to their families, how can I let them be maids?"
Wu Zhao looked sly, "But now they are Cao Cao's family members."
After hearing this, Mrs. Huan said: "The girl is right, we can be safer with the young master."
Yuan Xi shook his head, always feeling a little awkward, and casually said to the two sisters: "What are your names?"
