Chapter 275: Guo Jia, Yingchuan

Yanzhou, Chenliu.

Cao ***, who had returned from the Puyang inspection, just stepped into the house and received a heartbreaking news.

Xi Zhicai passed away!

Xi Zhicai was from Yingchuan. After being given to Cao *** by Xun Yu, he became the most relied strategist around Cao *** with his outstanding strategy. The strategies of pacifying Qingzhou and attacking Yanzhou were all due to his plans. In Cao ***'s mind, Xun Yu was talented and could be the leader of civil officials. Cheng Yu was capable and loyal, and good at strategic planning, while Xi Zhicai was a "genius". He often planned unexpected strategies from others, and failed to succeed in one fell swoop.

In the early stage of hegemony, Cao *** obviously valued Xi Zhicai's ability more, and Xi Zhicai also tried his best to give advice to Cao *** and gradually became weak. Although Cao *** invited famous doctors from all over the country to come for treatment, he died in the end.

Xi Zhicai's death was a major blow to Cao ***, and from then on, a soul figure was missing around him. Cao *** was extremely sad and ordered the funeral of Xi Zhicai. Cao *** thought about it and ordered someone to call Xun Yu.

It was getting late, and Cao *** sat in the study, recalling the scenes of Xi Zhicai giving him advice, and secretly felt sad again. Thinking of the plan that Xi Zhicai gave him in Puyang, he sent people to Yuzhou and Jingzhou to persuade Sun Jian and Liu Biao to send troops, and gave Yuan Shu a knife behind his back to cut off his retreat. It was a pity that both of them refused, so that Yuan Shu occupied Xuzhou and made great contributions. Including Xi Zhicai's death, Cao *** couldn't help but hate Sun Jian and Liu Biao more and more.

Just then, the door creaked, and Xun Yu walked in with a tall and thin figure with thick eyebrows.

"Uh... Wenruo, please sit down quickly~~" Cao*** greeted.

After Xun Yu bowed, he sat down, looked at Cao ***'s tired appearance and empty eyes, and couldn't help feeling quite sad. He comforted Cao *** and said, "My lord, please be mournful and follow the changes. My ambition has been gone, and my demeanor will last forever. The lord still wants to fight for dominance in the world. There are still many things to do, so that you can't hurt your body."

Cao *** sighed and said, "Don't I know what Wen Ruo said? It's just that Zhicai's departure has a big blow to me. He is gone. Who else can I discuss war strategies with?"

The breeze blew, and the candlelight in the study kept beating, illuminating Cao ***'s lonely face, making Xun Yu feel even more sad.

Xun Yu raised his voice slightly and said, "You can understand the mood of the lord, but I hope you will cheer up as soon as possible. Speaking of which, there are so many capable talents in the world, so you will not worry about no one helping you."

Cao *** was excited, his little eyes widened a little, and he asked, "Wenruo, you and Zhicai are both from Yingchuan. I know that Yingchuan is a place where people and dragons and tigers are hidden. Can you have wise talents you know?"

When Xun Yu saw Cao ***'s expression, he knew that his mood was indeed very urgent. He smiled slightly and bowed, "Yu *** alone, his talent and wisdom are not inferior to his ambitions and talents. If you talk about the enemy's wisdom, you can be ranked first in the world..."

"Ah~~ It's great!!" Cao *** stood up immediately with excitement, grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said, "Wenruo, with such an excellent talent, why didn't you give it to me soon? I'm going to blame you, haha. Oh, by the way, who is the person you are talking about?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "If the lord is punished, Yu will not say anything."

Cao *** laughed loudly. Having obtained a talent stronger than Xi Zhicai had already swept away the haze in his heart. "Okay, I promise not to punish you, you can say it quickly."

Xun Yu replied: "My ***'s surname is Guo Jia, and his courtesy name is Fengxiao. He is from Yangdi, Yingchuan. He is a strange man in the world in terms of talent and strategy. I can describe this person in four sentences."

Cao*** asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly~~"

Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then looked up and smiled, "The classics and history are hidden in his abdomen, and the armored soldiers are hidden in his chest. His planning is like Fan Li, and his decisions are like Chen Ping."

Cao *** was overjoyed and was so excited that he held Xun Yu's hand and shook it constantly, saying, "Wen Ruo is really my good helper, and he has found such a amazing talent for me. Thank you so much!"

Xun Yu suddenly said seriously: "My lord, don't be happy too early. Guo Fengxiao is now working under Yuan Shao's account."

"Ah~~" Cao***'s face suddenly changed, and then he returned to his original state, sneering, "Since Wen Ruo mentioned this person, he must be an old acquaintance with him, and there must be a way to invite him."

Xun Yu nodded and said, "How dare I joke with the Lord publicly? Although Guo Fengxiao is in Yuan Shao's place, since he discovered that Yuan Shao is stubborn and short of following the disaster, he thought that Yuan Shao could not achieve great things, so he returned home. After being persuaded by our fellow villagers, he had long wanted to surrender to his lord."

Cao ***'s face filled with smiles again, and he stroked his hands and said, "It's God who really helps me. Wenruo, please write a book on my behalf and ask him to come to Chenliu. I will use him more."

Xun Yu bowed and agreed. At this moment, Cao ***'s heart was filled with joy. He was originally worried that his heroic career would be damaged after Xi Zhicai's death, and he was a little confused about his future. Now the haze in his heart has been wiped out, and the rest is full of expectations, looking forward to the Guo Jiaguo, a native of Yingchuan who is like Fan Li and makes decisions like Chen Ping, who is in Xun Yu's mouth.

At this time, Guo Jia was doing nothing in his hometown. Three years ago, the young Guo Jia, with full of enthusiasm, went from Yingchuan to Yecheng all the way. Yuan Shao, a hero from the world who was known as a polite and polite, would favor him and entrust him with important responsibilities.

However, Yuan Shao saw that Guo Jia was a young man in his twenties and was afraid that he would not do anything hard. On the surface, Yuan Shao respected Guo Jia very much and treated him with generous gifts, but in fact he did not value it. Guo Jia did not allow Guo Jia to participate in military and national affairs at all. After dozens of days, Guo Jia realized that Yuan Shao did not understand the way of employing people and was not a person who could achieve great things, so he resolutely left Yuan Shao.

At that time, Yuan Shao had a very good development momentum. It was the time when Guo Jia was at its peak. He was able to leave Yuan Shao when he was in great honor, which fully proved Guo Jia's vision and proved that Guo Jia's courage was beyond the reach of others.

After receiving Xun Yu's letter, Guo Jia set out to Chenliu. Cao *** was overjoyed when he heard the news. He went out of the city to greet him ten miles away, and took Guo Jia to his mansion, preparing to discuss major affairs in the world. Guo Jia was also quite moved when he saw Cao *** treat him so sincerely.

Seeing that Guo Jia was thin and handsome, and had clear and deep eyes, Cao *** felt very much liked, so Xiaowen said, "Fengxiao, *** I heard that you have the alias of "Little Taigong". I wonder if it is true?"
