"Hahahaha!" In Cao Jun's camp in Hebei Province, Cao Cao's face had always been gloomy and gloomy. Because Youzhou could not be conquered, Hebei Province could not be conquered. As a result, Cao Cao's army had been trapped in Hebei Province. The daily consumption was astronomical. However, he was so happy today that his laughter could be heard outside the camp. This made his personal guards confused.
"Is the Lord in the camp?" A thin and weak scholar wearing thick clothes walked into the camp and asked a strong man beside him.
"Sir, Milord is reading in the camp!" The strong man answered the thin scholar. "Do you want me to inform him?" The strong man looked at the thin scholar and asked.
"Hmm, I know! No need, I'll go in directly! "The thin scholar nodded and opened the tent door and walked in.
There was only one person who could meet Cao Cao without informing him. That was Cao Cao's most trusted subordinate, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao.
"What makes Milord so happy?" Guo Jia opened the tent door and entered the camp. He saw that Cao Cao was reading.
"Fengxiao, you're here!" Cao Cao's smile deepened when he saw Fengxiao. "Come, Fengxiao, come and have a drink with me!" Cao Cao seemed to be in a good mood.
"Milord, did you learn something from reading?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao in confusion. Cao Cao had been reading for a long time and became complacent after reading for a while. Wasn't he inspired by the book?
"No, no, no. It's Shu Cang!" Cao Cao smiled and said to Guo Jia.
"Young Master?" Guo Jia remembered such a person. That person was Cao Cao's youngest son. He was very intelligent and could be considered a rare genius. If one did not know him, they would have heard of an allusion. This young master was Cao Cao's twenty-fifth son, Cao Chong.
Originally, Guo Jia did not care whether Cao Chong was intelligent or not. What made him care about Cao Chong was that Cao Chong was not only intelligent, he also knew when to advance and retreat. He was also a kind person.
At that time, the military had many affairs to deal with and the punishment was strict and heavy. Cao Cao's saddle was gnawed by rats in the warehouse. The servant in charge of the warehouse was afraid that he would die. He wanted to tie his hands behind his back and surrender, but he was still afraid that he would not be spared. Cao said to him, "Cao Chong will wait three days, then you will surrender." Therefore, Cao Chong took the knife and pierced through his own unlined clothes, just like a mouse biting on a piece of meat. He pretended to be unhappy, with a worried look on his face. When Cao Cao asked him, Cao Chong replied, "People believe that if a rat bites the clothes, the owner will be unlucky. Now that the clothes were bitten, he is sad. "Cao Cao said," That's nonsense. There is no need to worry. " Not long after, the warehouse official reported the rat biting the saddle. Cao Cao said with a smile, "My son's clothes were right next to him and they were bitten. What about the saddle hanging on the pillar?" He did not blame the warehouse official at all.
Cao Chong was a benevolent person, he was knowledgeable and well-informed. Just like in this case, there were several dozen people who should have been killed for committing a crime, but Cao Chong secretly reasoned out the truth of the matter and thus helped and forgiven them. Cao Cao praised Cao Chong several times in front of the ministers and had plans to let Cao Chong inherit the throne.
It was precisely because of this that Guo Jia had a good impression of Cao Chong. In a dynasty, there had to be an Emperor Wen who ruled the world through martial arts. This was not a coincidence, it was inevitable. Because ruling the world through martial arts would inevitably lead to the loss of morality in the world. After all, everyone had come from the era of cannibalism. Later on, they would have to teach the common people about reason and human nature. They would also have to cultivate themselves to protect the common people.
Cao Chong was such a person in Guo Jia's heart. Cao Cao ruled the world with martial arts, then Cao Chong would pacify the world with benevolence.
Originally, there was Cao Ang who was benevolent. Unfortunately, Cao Ang died early. As for the second son Cao Pi, Guo Jia did not have a good impression of him. It could even be said that he avoided him because Cao Pi was too narrow-minded. To be an emperor, one must have the magnanimity of an emperor. Cao Pi could not do it.
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded. "Fengxiao, when we go back, I want Shu Cang to worship you as his teacher!" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said.
"Worship me as your teacher?" Guo Jia's eyes lit up.
"My lord, are you sure?" Guo Jia stared at Cao Cao, hoping to get an answer from Cao Cao's eyes.
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded heavily.
"What about the second son?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao. The second son had grown up. Originally, he might not have thought about it, but now it was different. His big brother had passed away and he was now the eldest son. If this was the case, the second son would not be reconciled.
"Don't worry! Fengxiao, as long as I am here, he will be at ease! "Cao Cao said to Guo Jia.
"Ai, I hope so!" Guo Jia sighed. That second son was a person who scared Guo Jia. How could he be reconciled? Who was Guo Jia? He was Cao Cao's absolute confidant. If he taught Guo Jia Cao Chong and let Cao Chong worship Guo Jia as his teacher, it was equivalent to announcing the future successor of the Cao family.
"This is the book sent by the little son!" Guo Jia looked at the book in Cao Cao's hand. Cao Cao did not avoid Guo Jia and handed it over. Guo Jia saw why Cao Cao was smiling so happily. This book was not the Analects of Confucius, nor was it the Zuo Zhuan. It was written in four big words, Meng De's New Book.
This was Cao Cao's painstaking effort over the years. There were a total of thirteen chapters, all of which were important military tactics. It was a summary of all the battles Cao Cao had fought over the years, including the strategies used and the things to pay attention to. Guo Jia had read this book and nodded. He had also given some suggestions to Cao Cao. In the past, they were all scattered. But now, they were bound together into a book, completely becoming a book.
Guo Jia flipped to the page and saw a sentence, "Reading wisely opens one's eyes. What the saints learn is what the world likes." — Qiao Xuan.
It was indeed this! Guo Jia smiled bitterly.
"This Shu Cang, he actually found Sir Qiao to write this book. He is filial!" Cao Cao also saw the page Guo Jia flipped to and said. His face was full of the love of a father and the satisfaction of a filial son. It was better for someone else to publish a book. It was not in line with the style of the Huaxia people to publish their own books. Because of modesty, Cao Cao's new book of Mengde was still a loose draft even though it had been published for a long time. A son publishing a book for his father was not only filial, it could also show his own talent and let his own book be passed down to the world. Why not?
Cao Cao and Qiao Xuan's relationship was not bad. Qiao Xuan was one of the few people he admired. Back then, the two of them were old and young. If it were not for Cao Cao's age, Qiao Xuan might have wanted to betroth his daughter to Cao Cao.
"My lord, have you noticed that the handwriting in these books is the same?" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao as he flipped open all the basic new books of Mengde on Cao Cao's desk.
"Hmm?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He really did not notice this because he had been happy with Cao Chong's filial piety. He really did not notice the handwriting on these books. Now that he looked at it, the handwriting on these books was exactly the same. Cao Cao admitted that he could not write such good handwriting. There was no difference in the handwriting of these books.
"Someone like him is so talented that there is no difference in the handwriting of these books?" Cao Cao felt a bit strange. He saw that not all of Meng De's new books were correct. Some of the words were wrong. This was because many of the words in the ancient books were fake. Even if there was a deviation, it was not a big mistake. However, these books were exactly the same. This made Cao Cao feel surprised.
"It doesn't look like it was written. It looks more like it was branded!" Cao Cao was puzzled. There was a way to find the same handwriting. That was the same handwriting on the faces of those who were exiled. The same handwriting was used to brand the faces of those who were exiled. There were also the same handwriting on the faces of those who were bought and sold.
"That's right, my lord. These books are really branded!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"These words?" Cao Cao was puzzled again. Printing actually appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. The handwriting was engraved on an engraving plate and then covered with ink. This way, paper or cloth could be placed on top of the plate to create a printed article.
However, printing was convenient, but the price was high. This new book of Mengde had tens of thousands of words. How many engraving plates would be needed? The price was not cheap.
"My lord, these books came from Yangzhou!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"Yangzhou?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. That's right. The new book of Mengde was indeed produced in Yangzhou. When Liu Mang was selling books, he also added a side business, which was to publish books for others. The authors might be embarrassed, but if you wanted to please others, this was a way. You could sort out the author's daily manuscripts and send them to Yangzhou. It wouldn't take ten days or half a month for them to send the finished book to you.
As long as you have the money, I'll print as many books as you want, as long as you have the money. Of course, this book was specially bought for you. The price wasn't just 30 coins per book, but half a gold per book. Cao Zhi bought a thousand books for his father, spending 500 gold. This could be considered a hard-earned capital. Of course, it also made his father very happy.
"Milord, I came here to talk to you about Yangzhou!" After saying that, Guo Jia handed over the letter in his hand. This letter was sent by the uncle and nephew of the Xun family in Xu Du. It clearly wrote about Yangzhou's actions these days.
"All books, The Analects of Confucius, Zuo Zhuan, 50 copper coins per book?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. Because of the shipping cost, when these books were sent to Cao Cao's jurisdiction, Yanzhou and Zhili, the price was reduced from 30 copper coins to 50 copper coins. 20 copper coins was the shipping cost.
But even so, this was too cheap! Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in disbelief. If these books were so cheap, Cao Cao wanted to buy a thousand books. After all, Cao Cao was also a person who liked to read.
"My lord, the words in this letter are true!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"This is a good thing!" Cao Cao really wanted to buy a thousand books and put them at home, so that the children at home could read more books. "Sir Qiao might be famous all over the world!" Cao Cao said with a smile. Every book had Qiao Xuan's words. It could be said that Qiao Xuan had become a role model for those scholars.
"It's not just Sir Qiao!" Guo Jia also admired Qiao Xuan very much. After all, this person was a person who could bring peace to the country in literature and bring peace to the world in martial arts. Therefore, Guo Jia admired people like Qiao Xuan very much, so he called him Sir Qiao.
"En?" Cao Cao was puzzled.
"My lord, look at this letter!" Guo Jia said as he handed another letter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took it and looked at it. His eyes widened.
"Yangzhou Examination?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement.
Guo Jia nodded. "This examination is held once a year. The people on the three lists will be the officials!" Guo Jia explained the contents of this examination to Cao Cao.
"Except for women who are under 18 years old, everyone can participate!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"Children from poor families? There is no difference between children from landowning families? "Cao Cao asked in puzzlement.
"That's right!" Guo Jia nodded.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes. "This is a good thing! Fengxiao, if you haven't met me, you can go and have a try! " Cao Cao said with a smile.
"My lord, if only it were that simple!" Guo Jia said with a roll of his eyes. "My lord, is this the world of landowning families or the world of poor children?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.
"The world of landowning families?" This answer made sense. Although landowning families only accounted for a few percent of the huge population, they controlled 80 percent of the world's wealth. Only 20 percent of the wealth was controlled by the poor.
But you could also say that it was the world of the poor. Because the population base was there, the huge population occupied the world. No matter how elite a landowning family was, there were only so many people.
"My lord, His Highness the King Of Shu of Yangzhou has a good plan!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"En?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement.
"These books were sold to Zhili of Yan Province for 50 coins each. If they were given to you, my lord, would you buy them?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.
"Of course I would buy them!" Cao Cao nodded. Not only did he want to buy them, he wanted to buy thousands of them. Who would dislike having more books?
"My lord, if you can buy thousands of books, those poor children can buy at least two or three books. If they scrimp and save, it is not a problem to buy more!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"The books that were originally out of reach have become within reach!" Guo Jia could not help but sigh. When he wanted to borrow a book to read, it was really difficult. He had to beg grandfather and grandmother before he could read it. He also had to return it in time. Otherwise, people would not lend it to him in the future. It was because of Guo Jia's hard work that he had the talent he had now.
Books were easy to access, so naturally, there were more people who read books. There were also more talented people.
"This is also a good thing!" Cao Cao still did not understand. The ancient people had the ideal of caring for oneself when they were poor and helping the world when they were rich. This ideal of helping the world when they were rich was to have students all over the world and spread wisdom among the people. Cao Cao had many talented people under his command. Cao Cao could not be happier.
"My lord, if there are ten talented people from poor families, would you want them?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.
"Yes! Why, Fengxiao, do you have someone in mind? " Cao Cao could be considered as the first person to pick a crab. For example, Xi Zicai and Guo Jia were both from poor families. However, their knowledge was not inferior to those nobles.
One of the reasons why Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was courteous to the wise and the nobles. This included people from poor families. He appreciated people with talent. However, Yuan Shao was different. He was courteous to the wise and the nobles. He did not care about people with low status. Therefore, Guo Jia was originally under Yuan Shao's command. Later, he was under Cao Cao's command.
"What if there are a hundred of them?" Guo Jia asked again.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment. If there were really a hundred of them, although it was difficult, Cao Cao still replied in a low voice, "Yes!" “
"What if there are a thousand talented people from poor families?" Guo Jia asked again.
At this time, Cao Cao's face finally changed. A thousand talented people from poor families. Cao Cao did not want them? Of course, he wanted them. As long as these people were talented, they did not need to be like Guo Jia. As long as they had 1% of Guo Jia's talent, then there would be ten Guo Jia's. How could Cao Cao not want them? However, wanting was one thing, whether he could get them or not was another.
If there were ten people from poor families, Cao Cao would not care about other people's opinions and assign them to various positions. Although it would be difficult to assign a hundred people, Cao Cao was not without a way. At most, he would give some benefits to the nobles.
But a thousand people! Hehe, if Cao Cao dared to put all of these thousand people into the officialdom, then those nobles would fall out with him. Because there was a limit to the number of officials. Those positions with real power had already been divided up by the nobles. If he sent people from poor families, wouldn't he be stealing their rice bowls? If these talented people from poor families were placed in other places, Cao Cao would not be willing. That was why his face changed.
"Milord, now that the book of Yangzhou is so cheap and has opened the people's wisdom, the talented people from poor families will be like a river, endless. They will not be able to get an official position in Yanzhou or Zhili. Where do you think they will go?" Guo Jia asked again.
Cao Cao was silent. Needless to say, even if one used one's butt to think, one would know that they would go to Yangzhou. After studying and gaining knowledge, they would naturally go to Yangzhou to participate in the examination. This way, they could become an official. Studying was to become an official! Liu Mang gave those people hope to become an official. It could be said that as long as they studied and recognized their talent, they would definitely go to Yangzhou to participate in the examination. This was equivalent to a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. It was also the only way for them to become an official.
If this Guo Jia was not introduced by the Xun Family's uncle and nephew, Cao Cao would not know him. And how many talented people were there that were not known by those famous people?
"Can't we learn from the King Of Shu, Liu Mang and hold an examination?" Cao Cao also asked doubtfully. Cao Cao had an idea. That was to learn from the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. "If you hold an examination, I will hold one too. Everyone will share equally."
"Milord, can you give it a try?" Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile. He was not optimistic about Cao Cao's idea! This officialdom was actually a big cake for the landowning households. They had already allocated which piece would belong to who. How could they let Cao Cao touch it? You can hire people like Guo Jia, but there are only a few of them, so it's not a big deal. But if you really want to take the exam, then you're done for. You're going to smash the cake of the landowning households. You're going to ruin the landowning households. Would they let you go? Once the examination was opened, then the landowning households' natural advantage as officials would be completely destroyed. Therefore, those landowning households would definitely not let Cao Cao open the examination.
Cao Cao opened his mouth. This was indeed a big problem. Cao Cao was not afraid of one or two landowning households. However, he had to guard against the interest groups of landowning households. He was now beginning to envy the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. One of the reasons why the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, could hold the examination was because the King Of Shu, Liu Mang had occupied three continents. Basically, all the landowning households were dead. Even if there were, they were surviving under the nose of the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
However, Cao Cao was different. Not to mention the other landowning households, his Cao Family, Xiahou Family, Xun Family, Ma Family, and Sima Family in Guanzhong were all big landowning households. These were all big aristocratic families. Cao Cao benefited from the support of these big aristocratic families. It allowed him to have the strength he had today. At the same time, this was also a drawback. That was, Cao Cao did not dare to make a move against the landowning households on a large scale. He even had to rely on the landowning households.
"What if we ban books?" Cao Cao thought of another point. That was to ban the circulation of books. So that the books in Yangzhou could not be sold to Zhili. This way, you can't let my talents wander to Yangzhou.
"Ban books? Haha, my lord, this is like a torrent. How can we block it? My lord, did you forget the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty? "Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
Qin Dynasty, Qin Dynasty's Emperor! Cao Cao thought of this person. He was a man of great talent and great strategy. The King of Qin destroyed the six states. However, such a person was not able to stop the circulation of books. Burning books and burying Confucianism should have destroyed the inheritance of Confucianism. But now, Confucianism was the biggest. So, this thing about books could not be stopped.
Even if Cao Cao wanted to stop it, what about the other warlords? They would also be able to let Liu Mang of Yangzhou obtain the world's talents.
"What can we do?" Cao Cao bitterly said. This can't do, that can't do! What can we do? Can we just watch the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, take all the talents of the world into his arms?
"My lord, since His Highness the King Of Shu has made up his mind to win the hearts of the world's poor children, then let's take the other side!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao. Liu Mang's examination and books made it possible for the poor children to study. So, he had won the hearts of the poor children. Then, the people who opposed the poor children were the nobles.
"You mean!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up. The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, had won the hearts of the poor children, but the nobles' hearts were cold. The immovable cake of the nobles had already been cut in half by the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. It was even possible for him to seize the whole cake. How could the nobles be willing to accept this? Under this unwillingness, they would naturally isolate the King Of Shu for the sake of their cake. They were also afraid that there would be people like His Highness the King Of Shu who would go all out to destroy the King Of Shu. As the only one who could compete with the King Of Shu, it was Cao Cao.
So, if the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, had won the hearts of the poor children, then he, Cao Cao, had won the hearts of the nobles.
Suddenly, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. Because it had been thousands of years, the world had always been ruled by the nobles. So, the one who should win should be him, Cao Cao.
"My Lord, not only should we not stop the spread of the book, we should also advocate and help our King Of Shu. We should tell the nobles how much our King Of Shu cares about the poor children!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
As long as they helped the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, spread the word, then he would truly become the public enemy of the nobles.
"Of course!" Cao Cao nodded. He felt pity in his heart. The poor children and the nobles, the ones who could really help were the nobles. Although Cao Cao also hated the nobles, he couldn't deny that the nobles were much stronger than the poor children. The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, was a first-class person. Cao Cao also admired him very much. Just like Wang Mang, who caused chaos in the Han Dynasty. Can't you say that Wang Mang is bad? He really represented the interests of the people. It was because of this that he offended the nobles and was overthrown, becoming the representative of the rebels.
After helping Cao Cao think of a solution, Guo Jia's face flushed a little. Because he was concentrating on thinking of a solution, he didn't notice that he had caught a cold. But now, he started coughing. "Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Guo Jia coughed again and again. This made Cao Cao's heart ache. ,
"Fengxiao, slow down, slow down!" Cao Cao comforted Guo Jia. "Men, men, summon a doctor, summon a doctor!" Cao Cao ordered his subordinates.
"Lord, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'll be fine after some rest!" Guo Jia waved his hand at Cao Cao.
"Then sit down first. Drink some hot water to warm up your body. I'll send someone to send you back to rest!" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with concern.
"I'll have to trouble Lord!"
"Hey, there's no trouble between the two of us!" Cao Cao said to Guo Jia.
"Hehe!" Guo Jia laughed. He looked at the handkerchief in which he coughed. There was a trace of blood on it. This made him frown and forced a smile on his face.
"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for the fact that Hebei couldn't be pacified for so long, Fengxiao wouldn't have to come to this bitter cold place with me." Cao Cao said guiltily. "Zhongkang, send Fengxiao back!" Cao Cao said to Xu Chu who was outside.
"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded and said to Fengxiao, "Military Advisor, please!"
"En!" Guo Jia didn't refuse. He walked out and headed in the direction of his camp.
"Zhongkang, what do you think of Lord?" Guo Jia suddenly asked Xu Chu who was outside.
"Lord, he's a good person!" Xu Chu wouldn't say that. This was Xu Chu's greatest praise.
"What do you think if Lord becomes the master of this world?" Guo Jia asked again.
"Then the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. This world will be peaceful and prosperous!" Xu Chu smiled honestly. This was because he wasn't just Cao Cao's personal guard, he also had another identity. He was the head of the Xu Village. Because of Cao Cao's governance of Yan Province, Yan Province had turned from a war-torn place into a rich granary. Although the people in Yan Province didn't have enough to eat due to the years of war, they at least had something to strive for. If the world was peaceful, then naturally there would be no need for war and the people would be able to eat their fill.
"Eat our fill!" Guo Jia's face showed a trace of determination. The handkerchief in his hand was already stained with blood. He put the handkerchief in his sleeve and didn't let it leak out.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Although the Yuan family brothers in the city complained that the snow affected their mood, they had to admit that this snow was really beneficial for them. This was because once the snow came, Cao Cao's army's efficiency in attacking the city would decrease and it would be more possible to defend Youzhou.
Cao Cao looked at the thick layer of frost on the city wall and frowned. This war was getting harder and harder to fight. Fortunately, his granary was sufficient. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold on.
Looking at the endless supply of provisions, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile. This was because these provisions weren't brought by Cao Cao from Yan Province. They were given by the local nobles in Ji Province. Cao Cao didn't force the nobles to give it to him either. They were willing to give it to him.
It was because of Cao Cao that Emperor Han of Xu Du issued an imperial edict, conferring the title of Lord Qiao Xuanqiao as a quasi-saint. He also praised His Highness Liu Mang, the King Of Shu, saying that Liu Mang was a man who cherished talents. This was the blessing of the world. Thus, His Highness Liu Mang became the public enemy of the nobles.
This was because the King Of Shu, Liu Mang touched the cake of the nobles.
Whether it was the Yuan family or Cao Cao, they would give the nobles official positions. However, if it was the King Of Shu, it would be different. He actually let the children of poor families become officials. Wasn't this stealing their iron rice bowl?
Therefore, they began to help Cao Cao. They wanted Cao Cao to eliminate the Yuan family as soon as possible. Then, they would go south to deal with the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
With these provisions, Cao Cao's days would be much better. Your Yuan family brothers are rich, so you can go buy provisions! Don't you have equipment? I'll use people to kill you. Right now, Cao Cao didn't lack soldiers. The nobles also sent a lot of soldiers to Cao Cao. They were simply giving him people and money.
However, Cao Cao's happiness didn't last long! His face was filled with panic. This was because his subordinates came to report that his most trusted aide, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, had suddenly fainted.
"Fengxiao, where is Fengxiao!" Cao Cao rushed into the camp. Today was supposed to be the day of the siege, but Cao Cao still ordered his subordinates to retreat.
"Milord, the military advisor is in the camp!" A guard came to guide Cao Cao into Guo Jia's camp.
"Doctor, doctor, how is Fengxiao? How is Fengxiao?" Cao Cao panicked and asked the military doctor beside him.
"Milord, the military advisor is suffering from typhoid fever!" The military doctor said to Cao Cao.
"Typhoid fever?" It was a cold. Normally, this kind of symptom could be cured by drinking some ginger tea or opening a shop to get rid of the cold. However, Guo Jia was suffering from several illnesses.
Not only was he suffering from typhoid fever, but his cough was also getting worse.
"If anything happens to Fengxiao, I want you to pay with your life!" Cao Cao had completely lost his mind.
"Milord, Milord, look!" Xu Chu pointed at the place where Guo Jia's clothes were. There was a handkerchief there that was particularly eye-catching with blood on it.
"Milord, the military advisor's illness is not outside, but in the inner palace!" The military doctor on the other side was calm. He knew that although Cao Cao killed, he wouldn't kill the innocent. As long as he could think of a way, or if he could clear his name, Cao Cao wouldn't touch him.
"Injured in the inner palace?" Cao Cao was stunned.
"Yes! Milord, I took a look. The military advisor has been sick for a long time because of the injury in the inner palace. That's why he's suffering from the cold! "The military doctor explained to Cao Cao.
"You're saying that Fengxiao has been sick for a long time?" Cao Cao looked at the military doctor and asked.
The military doctor nodded.
"Hmm!?" Guo Jia, who was still in a coma, moved and slowly woke up.
"Milord, the military advisor is awake, the military advisor is awake!" Someone noticed Guo Jia's reaction.
"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, are you okay?" Cao Cao hurriedly threw himself at Guo Jia's bedside and asked with concern.
"Milord, Milord? Where am I? " Guo Jia looked at the people around him. Basically, all the generals and civil officials in the army were here. Guo Jia thought for a while and remembered that he had been blown by a cold wind and then had a headache. He must have caught a cold. Guo Jia's body wasn't very good since he was young, so he always had a chronic illness. After a long illness, he became a good doctor. Looking at his symptoms, Guo Jia guessed what had happened to him.
"Milord, help me up!" Guo Jia struggled to sit up. "It's nothing serious. Milord, you don't have to worry. Cough, cough, cough!" Guo Jia coughed again. This time, he couldn't hide it. There were traces of blood on his hand. He coughed out blood.
"Milord, the military advisor was injured in the inner palace. Now that he's in this cold place, his illness is even worse!" The military doctor on the side said.
"Fengxiao, I order you. I don't care what happened to you. You must return to Yan Province today and recuperate!" Cao Cao said angrily to Guo Jia.
"Milord, I said I'm fine!" Guo Jia ignored Cao Cao and said.
Fine? How could he cough up blood casually if he was fine? That was too fine.
"No, you must return to Yan Province!" Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia and said.
"It's useless!" Guo Jia knew that he couldn't convince Cao Cao. He could only smile bitterly. He also knew that he couldn't hide it. "Milord, do you think it's useful for me to return to Yan Province now?" Guo Jia stretched out his hand. The traces of blood hidden in his palm appeared in front of Cao Cao's eyes.
"Fengxiao!" Cao Cao stared. "No, no!" Cao Cao seemed to have thought of something.
"Milord, let me stay. I still have energy. I can still help milord!" Guo Jia calmly looked at Cao Cao and said. Guo Jia was forced by Cao Cao to return to Yan Province once. However, Guo Jia came the second time and was scolded by Cao Cao. Guo Jia still stayed. One of the reasons was not that Guo Jia didn't care about his body, but that he couldn't. In Xu Du, Guo Jia had already found an imperial physician. He couldn't be cured. Since he couldn't avoid death and couldn't be cured, he might as well support his lord while he still had energy.
"No! No! No! "Cao Cao suddenly shook his head." It can be cured, it can be cured! " Cao Cao was hysterical. He thought of a person, and that was Zhong Zhicai. This person was also a great talent. This person helped Cao Cao pacify Yan Province and took half of Zhili Province. However, he left Cao Cao early. "No, I absolutely won't allow you to leave. I won't allow it. Zhong Zhicai is like this. Fengxiao, are you going to leave without me?" Cao Cao's eyes were already filled with tears.
"Milord, Mengde, Cao Cao!" Guo Jia suddenly shouted at Cao Cao. "Face the reality, okay? You are an ambitious person, you are a hero, you are the Prime Minister of Great Han Dynasty. Bring out your prestige! What's the point of crying? Everyone is destined to die, it's just a matter of time. I, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao was able to meet you, Cao Mengde, it's already worth it! I, a dying person, didn't cry, what are you crying for? "Guo Jia was still as carefree as ever.
"Tell me if it can be cured, it can be cured!" Cao Cao suddenly turned his head to the military doctor.
"Ai!" The military doctor also sighed. His experience told him that Guo Jia really didn't have long to live. His illness couldn't be cured.
"No, I am the Prime Minister of Great Han Dynasty. If I say it can be cured, then it can be cured. Who in this world dares to disobey me!" Cao Cao was unreasonable. "Tell me if Fengxiao can be cured, tell me!"
"I, I, I, I!" The military doctor was a little panicked because he really saw the killing intent in Cao Cao's eyes.
"Milord, calm down, calm down!" Cheng Yu on the side didn't quarrel with Guo Jia and pulled Cao Cao.
"Calm down, how can I calm down? I only want an answer, that is, Fengxiao can be cured! "Cao Cao shouted loudly.
"Milord, we tried our best!" The military doctor directly knelt in front of Cao Cao and begged.
"Milord, even if you kill them, they can't cure Military Advisor!" Cheng Yu shouted at Cao Cao.
'Impossible? What do you mean by impossible? In front of me, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, nothing is impossible. Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, they all said that I, Cao Mengde, can't defeat them, but I won. They all said that I, Cao Mengde, can't have a great future after becoming a eunuch, but I am now one of the three Ministers, the Minister of Great Han Dynasty! Impossible? What is impossible? " Cao Cao said arrogantly.
"Let me tell you, if anything happens to Fengxiao, you don't need to live anymore. Go with Fengxiao! Is it possible? "Cao Cao coldly looked at the military doctor who was trembling.
Guo Jia didn't stop Cao Cao because he knew that Cao Cao cared about him.
"Possible, possible!" The military doctor was so scared that his pants were about to fall off. If he was killed by Cao Cao, he would be wronged to death.
"Then tell me how to cure Fengxiao!" Cao Cao shouted at the military doctor.
"Yang, Yang, Yangzhou!"
