Chapter 112 If Guo Jia doesn’t die, Crouching Dragon won’t come out
News of the surrender of Jushuo and Tianfeng also reached Yuan Shao's ears. Surprisingly, he was not furious this time.
a few days ago.
When he finally fled to Hebei, he only had more than 800 cavalry with him, and the rest of his soldiers were left in Henan.
After experiencing the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao looked pale for several days without any blood.
So when the news came that Ju Shou and Tian Feng had surrendered, even Guo Tu, who wanted to immediately lie on the Hebei faction's corpse to eat meat and drink blood, did not report the news to Yuan Shao, but chose to suppress it.
It was not until Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng and his face gradually turned rosy that Guo Tu informed Yuan Shao of the surrender of Ju Shou and Tian Feng.
…
Yuan Shao fell into silence for a long time.
But in the end, he issued an order that surprised everyone: "Send the family members of Ju Shou and Tian Feng to them."
When Feng Ji heard Yuan Shao's arrangement, he felt a little puzzled.
It was Fengji's good friend Meng Dai who understood what Yuan Shao was saying and came down to explain to him: "Jushou, Tian Feng is different from Zhang He and Gao Lan. They fell into Tian Feng's hands at that time and it was no longer a crime of war. They surrendered."
Well, morally speaking, Mr. Yuan can’t force them to do anything.”
"Since they are not guilty, it is natural for Mr. Yuan to take action against the forces behind Ju Sue and Tian Feng, lest others say that Mr. Yuan lost his morality first."
"Now that Mr. Yuan is sending their families back, he is actually letting Jushou, Tian Feng and those forces in Hebei separate themselves, to show that there is no more debt between the two parties..."
Meng Dai shook his head gently: "If you can let Mr. Yuan make this decision, it can be seen that Mr. Yuan is going to be cruel to those people in Hebei. Yuan Tu (Fengji), we have finally come to an end after all the hardships!"
Is the end of all hardships rewarded?
Fengji looked at Meng Dai, and then at Guo Tu, who had long been out of touch with his body, and couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart——
"Don't any of you give Cao Cao serious consideration?"
"Cao Cao?"
When Meng Dai heard about this person who made them swallow a bitter pill, not only was he not angry, but he was secretly happy.
"If Cao Cao hadn't helped us get rid of so many Hebei soldiers in the first battle, how could we have taken action against those Hebei wealthy families so quickly?"
"Don't worry, although Cao Mengde defeated Mr. Yuan, he still suffers from scabies, which is insignificant!"
"When we completely control Hebei, we can go south to attack Cao Cao at any time. Cao Cao may not be so lucky by then!"
Meng Dai also gave a time: "Three years!"
"In three years at most, Duke Yuan's power will be completely restored to what it was before, and even stronger! By then, just Cao Cao, does Yuan Tu think there is any need to worry?"
Feng Ji touched his beard, his expression a little absent-minded, and he obviously didn't listen carefully to Meng Dai's speech.
In his eyes, including Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Meng Dai... these people have been blinded by the struggle, and have even forgotten their ambitions back then!
At the same time, they also forgot that only Yuan Shao's power and strength were large enough to give them room to fight.
If the water in Yuan Shao's pond dries up, then all the fish living in this water will die!
Meng Dai did not notice anything strange about Feng Ji, but continued to pull Feng Ji to tell him the outsider's bright blueprint for the future.
It's just ignored automatically when necessary.
…………
The fact was indeed as Meng Dai expected.
After Yuan Shao sent away the families of Ju Shou and Tian Feng, he launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Hebei faction.
As long as they are from Hebei, they are almost not allowed to hold official positions above a thousand stones.
In the army, Yuan Shao used Guo Tu as the backbone to re-screen the army.
This unprecedented purge made Hebei, which was already unstable, even more chaotic. Dozens of rebellions, large and small, followed one after another, and it seemed that the country's survival was in danger.
However, Yuan Shao seemed to be cruel and determined to fight the Hebei faction to the end to prevent the tragedy of Xu You and Zhang He from happening again in his own camp.
For this reason, Yuan Shao's three sons and his nephew Gao Gan quickly took action with their troops to drain the blood of these wealthy families in Hebei little by little and help Yuan Shao complete the centralization of power.
Guo Tu and others also went crazy. After clearing out the Hebei faction that was hostile to them, they set their sights on Shen Pei.
Although Shen Pei did not participate in the party struggle, his identity as a Hebei native always made Guo Tu and others feel anxious.
In the end, it was Meng Dai who ended up asking Jiang Qi, who had already taken refuge with Yuan Shao, to inform the judge——
"Mr. Yuan, Shen Zhengnan will definitely rebel in the future!"
The reasons given by Jiang Qi are also very sufficient——
One is that the forces behind Shenpei are now very powerful, and they also hold considerable military power.
Secondly, Shenpei's two sons were also captured by Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu. It is very likely that Shenpei was threatened by Cao Cao and rebelled.
Yuan Shao, who was extremely decisive when it came to cleaning up others, hesitated when faced with the trial match.
In the end, he called Feng Ji, who had been the calmest during the cleanup operation, to ask for his opinion.
When Fengji heard that Meng Dai actually attacked the judge, he couldn't help but secretly cursed as a madman!
In the party struggle, it is not enough to get rid of Jushou and Tianfeng, but also to remove Shenpei from power?
Although the judge has an unpleasant personality, his ability is definitely second to none under Yuan Shao!
If he is removed from power, who can take his place?
Guo Tu? Or Xin Ping?
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. How can their talents in government affairs compare to those of Shen Pei? If they really take over the power of Shen Pei's shogunate, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Yuan Shao's forces.
A terrible disaster!
"It's time to stop!"
After a brief tangle, Feng Ji clarified his inner feelings and spoke frankly to Yuan Shao: "Shen Pei is strong and straightforward by nature. Every time he says something and does something, he admires the integrity of the ancients. He will not be just because of two people."
My son is in the south and is doing unjust things. I ask you, Mr. Yuan, not to doubt him."
Yuan Shao was quite surprised after hearing this, and asked: "Aren't you always at odds with Shen Pei and others? Why are you speaking for him now?"
Feng Ji shook his head: "In the past, the disputes were personal matters, but now we are talking about national affairs. How can we judge it with personal emotions?"
Yuan Shao was overjoyed after hearing what Feng Ji said: "That's exactly what it should be!"
With Feng Ji's intercession, Shen Pei was naturally not dismissed by Yuan Shao, and his relationship with Feng Ji gradually became closer.
On the contrary, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Meng Dai and others were disturbed by their own affairs, so they gradually drifted away from Feng Ji. The two groups who were supposed to be on the same side once again created a gap...

Cao Ying.
After the battle was over, the troops were recovered, and the food was exhausted, it was natural to pack up the luggage and return home.
During the procession, Cao Cao was followed by Jia Xu and Xun You respectively, and the three of them were looking at He Yan and Guo Jia who were not far away from them.
"Just now Sikong said...I will teach Mr. Pi from now on?"
Jia Xu has kind eyes and even the corners of his mouth turn up when he speaks, giving him a very gentle feeling.
But Cao Cao did directly expose Jia Xu's disguise and bluntly stated his intention to let him teach Cao Pi: "Although Pi'er is smart, he is still an unexperienced young man. It is most suitable for you to teach him... After all, not everyone
All young men are like Yulang."
Jia Xu and Xun You looked at He Yan, with some thoughts in their hearts.
"Don't think about it."
Cao Cao stared at He Yan's back: "You guys can't control him."
"I tested Yulang's intentions before, and he doesn't intend to repeat the same mistakes in a disciplined manner. In this case, it's better to let him go on his own."
When Jia Xu heard what Cao Cao said, he thought of something and couldn't help laughing.
"Why are Wenhe laughing?"
"I was just thinking, in Sikong's eyes, even I and Gongda can't control Marquis Shen, so who else can control him?"
"Now that I think about it, Sikong has decided on the candidate long ago."
Xun You lowered his head and thought for a while before he understood.
Cao Cao was able to suppress He Yan, but Cao Cao obviously didn't want to be the villain himself.
In other words... it's not that he is unwilling, but that Cao Cao is a little unsure about He Yan's future.
In this case, it is better to find a legend to suppress He Yan——
"The captain prostituted Yao, and the general captured him."
"With Huo Qubing's pressure, Yulang won't be tempted to slack off in a short time."
Genius requires awe.
Otherwise, it may be like Yuan Benchu or Sun Bofu, who fell down in their own pride and failed to recover, or Yuan Gongdao, who suddenly turned against the whole world...
"Judging from the current situation, Yulang is indeed much more diligent than before. Not only did he learn martial arts from Zhao Yun, he also learned the art of war from Fengxiao."
Cao Cao raised his whip and pointed at He Yan and Guo Jia in front: "Look! They are learning even during the journey. It can be seen that Yulang has really grown!"
…
…
He Yan and Guo Jia are indeed growing up.
It's just that the growth is a little crooked.
Guo Jia rubbed his little hands and lowered his voice and said to He Yan: "Marquis Shen! Can I go to the new nvv house you opened?"
"No, and that's not a nülu, that's a brothel."
He Yan looked at her with disdain: "Say it again! I've already said that the women inside are all serious women, so don't make mistakes."
"I believe women are serious, but it's hard to say whether you are serious or not!"
"..."
He Yan reluctantly gave in a small step: "I can take you in for a look."
Guo Jia looked disgusted: "Stingy!"
"How about I help you run the brothel! I am very experienced in dealing with women!"
“Have you ever seen a wolf watch a sheep?”
"I'm just going to give you some pointers..."
Guo Jia clapped her fingers confidently: "Take dancing for example, do you know what kind of dance is most beautiful for women?"
He Yan tilted his head and thought for a while before slowly saying his answer: "I don't know what kind of dance is good-looking. I only know that the fewer clothes you wear, the more beautiful the dance will be."
Guo Jia's expression seemed to make sense!
No, ah!
Guo Jia became anxious and yelled: "Vulgar!"
"The drums are drummed and rotated enthusiastically, and the appearance is moving."
"The seven-pan dance is full of joy and joy."
"The long-sleeved dancing sleeves are folded at the waist, and the hibiscus is looking forward."
"This is the real dance! Do you understand?"
"oh."
He Yan thought for a while: "But I still like to dance with less clothes."
Guo Jia:……
At this moment, he felt that He Yan was extremely vulgar! He was simply not worthy of being his friend!
So Guo Jia angrily leaned into He Yan's ear and asked, "Can I see that kind of dance?"
"Can."
Before Guo Jia's smile appeared, He Yan's words made him instantly cold-faced——
"You have to pay more."
"You, Marquis Shen, still care about that little money?"
"care."
He Yan's unkindness made Guo Jia a little sad, but when he looked carefully, he realized that He Yan was actually completely out of shape, and his eyes were very wandering.
"Crack!"
Guo Jia slapped He Yan hard in front of him, which woke up the absent-minded He Yan.
"what?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm counting something."
"What?"
He Yan took a deep breath: "I'm thinking about whether it's possible for me to be promoted to a hussar general before I'm nineteen years old, and whether I can be promoted to a hussar general before I'm twenty-one years old."
Guo Jia: "Why don't you think about whether you will die young when you are twenty-four?"
He Yan:???
Others said that it was okay for He Yanying to die young, but it would be somewhat presumptuous to say this from Guo Jia's mouth.
Guo Jia untied the wine gourd on his waist and took a long drink before saying, "Did you really target Huo Qubing?"
"Sikong gave you the title of Captain Yao because he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress you, so he used Huo Qiaoqi's hand to suppress you."
He Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is that what you mean?"
"Otherwise? Now that the Xiongnu have come to live in the Hetao area, where will you go to seal Lang Juxu?"
He Yan felt that what Guo Jia said seemed to make some sense, but he felt that it shouldn't be: "Why did Sikong pressure me? I didn't do anything!"
After hearing what He Yan said, Guo Jia once again gave him a blank look.
"First persuade Zhang He to surrender and make the enemy troops defect on the battlefield. This is something that even the ancient sages did not do. Go and see for yourself how miserable Confucius was on the battlefield in the classics."
"Then he climbed to Yuan Camp first... Even though there were some tricks, the first one to climb is the first to climb, and other messy things will not be recorded in the history books."
"Finally, you brought back two precious babies that even Sikong couldn't get. What else do you want after you've already done this?"
Guo Jia said to He Yan in a regretful tone: "Actually...if you died suddenly in the camp today, future generations will also rank you with young and famous figures like Champion Hou! Do you want to die?"
"Oh, if you want to die, you die first!"
With Guo Jia pouting on his lips, He Yan thought of the famous saying "Unless Guo Jia dies, the crouching dragon will not come out."
Could this be the benefit of dying early?
…
Bah! No matter how powerful Guo Jiawolong is, the winner in the end is not the old thief Sima who has a long standby time and is strong in one let alone three quarters?
Therefore, living a long life is king!
However, He Yan still has some doubts——
"Am I really that powerful?"
"Otherwise? Do you still want to capture Yuan Shao alive? Otherwise, will you lead the cavalry to Yecheng?"
Guo Jia suddenly felt that being with He Yan was... very tiring! Really tiring!
He Yan pondered for a long time, turned to look at Cao Cao, and then noticed Cao Cao's pleased expression...
What the hell!
Turning around quickly, He Yan touched his chin uncertainly: "Am I really that powerful?"
After all, isn’t it normal to win the Battle of Guandu? It’s not like fighting the Battle of Chibi.
Isn't Guo Jiamo playing me?
He must have praised me so much because he wanted to go to my brothel, right?
How abominable!
What a beast!
