~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao were very famous in later generations. No matter whether you look at the Three Kingdoms or not, few people don’t know his name. Of course, Ma Han also knows it, but except for one name, he knows nothing about Guo Jia’s life, hometown, whereabouts and residence. He doesn’t know that Guo Jia is actually from Yangdi, Yingchuan, and is currently living in seclusion. Because Guo Jia was young and had not become an official, many villagers did not hear of his name. If he had not met Xun Yue by chance and had his guidance, Ma Han might have really entered Baoshan but returned empty-handed.

Both Yingchuan talented men, Xun Yue and Guo Jia naturally had to interact with each other, and they highly praised this person's talent. Guo Jia once went to Jizhou and defected to Yuan Shao, but soon realized that this person was not a wise ruler, and the Jizhou counselor group was too fierce to fight each other. So Guo Jia chose to leave and returned to his former residence to study and lie dormant, waiting for the wise ruler. This lasted for six years.

In history, Guo Jia finally waited for a letter of recommendation from Xun Yu, and then went to Xudu in person to find his wise master. So what happened this time?

Ma Han led a group of people and others, under the guidance of Xun Yue, when he entered Yangdi, a cavalry hurried south and whispered to Ma Han: "General, Cao's army appeared in Yan County, under the banner of Yingyang Captain."

Yan County is the junction between Yingchuan and Runan. Two hundred miles away. After Cao Cao pacified the Yellow Turbans of Runan, he occupied the entire Runan County and pushed the power to the border of Yingchuan. The Yingyang Captain was Cao Hong's military position, that is, the vanguard of Cao's army was Cao Hong.

Ma Han didn't say anything, just nodded to show that it was clear. Guo Jia was close at hand now. Cao's army was two hundred miles away. Not to mention Cao Hong's leadership, even if Cao Cao came in person, he would never have the reason to turn around and retreat.

When everyone, led by Xun Yue, came to a small courtyard surrounded by fences and gurgling mountain springs, it was already dark.

Xun Yue ordered the servant to knock on the door. The gate of the courtyard opened. The servant who responded to the door suddenly saw countless torches in front of him, and was shocked. He looked at the servant standing under the steps of the wood gate, but he knew each other and blurted out: "Isn't this Anping? Where is Mr. Xun?"

Xun Yue, who was born after the servant, said: "The head of the family is here."

The servant hurriedly greeted her. Xun Yue said with a smile: "Master, can you be here?"

The servant bowed respectfully and replied, "The master has returned after going out for a walk. He is preparing to read."

Xun Yue laughed loudly: "What a great Guo Fengxiao, I told you to climb the mountain with me but not go for a walk alone."

At this time, a clear voice sounded in the courtyard: "Ji Mountain is majestic and the mountain road is steep. Jia is afraid that his physical strength will be difficult to support him. He is not as good as Brother Xun climbing up the mountain and seeing him as if he is leisurely, he can only go around and make Brother Xun laugh."

The lanterns in the courtyard were lit up, and the weak young man in white clothes slowly walked over. He bowed and laughed at Xun Yue, and said to the crowd of riders behind him. If he had not seen him, his courage would be impressive.

Ma Han looked at this top strategist of the Three Kingdoms carefully. He looked handsome, had a fair skin, elegant temperament, and had a bit of the temperament of a later Korean drama "Oba". He is really a true "talent".

Xun Yue introduced to both sides: "Fengxiao, this is the noble man that Yue met on Jishan today. He was the general of the court, the Marquis of Xiangping, the Sili School Commander, and the prefect of Liaodong Ma Jun Jinglong."

Guo Jia's originally unrestling handsome face was obviously moved when he heard the name of Ma Han. After all, Yangdi is too close to Luoyang. In recent months, the great changes in Luoyang City and the new pattern of the court have been made. Everything falls into the eyes of this strange talent who is hidden and not hidden. The name of Ma Han is resounding throughout the Central Plains. How could Guo Jia not know that such a person would suddenly come on a dark night.

Guo Jia bowed deeply to Ma Han from afar: "The general came to the humble house, and the walls shone brightly, and Jia was frightened."

Ma Han turned over and dismounted, bowed and said, "You are really worried about it. I, Ma Han."

Guo Jiawang saw a carriage and a servant in the cavalry. He must be the general's family. Although he didn't know that Ma Han's group had guards and brought female relatives, what's the point of doing here? But since he became the master, he should do his best to be the landlord.

.There was immediately instructed the manager to clean the courtyard, pick up the mats and lay the ground, and serve the juice and fruits. At the same time, more than ten servants were arranged to contact the neighbors everywhere to explain the situation, and to make room for the accompanying wolf riders and guards to settle down.

Ma Han and his party came suddenly. Although Guo Jia had no preparation in advance, he took care of himself and ordered casually. The servant followed the order, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Ma Han nodded secretly, knowing the details, not saying anything else, just this ability to deal with the situation on the spot was a talent.

It was late at night, and there was a pot of sake, Ma Han, Guo Jia and Xun Yue sat in separate seats, discussing the world. Unlike ordinary scholars who talked about war on paper, among these three, Ma Han was a real prince, and Guo Jia was a stunning and stunning genius. Xun Yue also had unique insights into the general trend of the world, and the three of them were quite in agreement.

What Guo Jia and Xun Yue are most curious about is that Ma Han is so young and has no background (although Ma Han is "a" Fufeng Ma, he has never borrowed any light from the Ma Han). How did he reach his current status step by step?

Ma Han didn't mind sharing his struggle history with the two. Ma Han's experience can indeed be called a legend. With Guo Jia's always calm and calm temperament, he could hear it and sigh in secret. This king was about the age of himself. He lived in seclusion for six years and achieved nothing. However, the other party only took only four years to jump from a martial arts soldier to a powerful lord with tens of thousands of soldiers and a seven-county place. Now he has entered the court and has a high position, realizing a gorgeous turn from a local prince to a central authority, like a Kunpeng spreading his wings and shaking the nine heavens, and his future is immeasurable.

What Guo Jia most regrets is that when Ma Han comes step by step, he can always follow the trend and follow the trend, as if he is unintentional or intentional. Every time he gains more, his strength accumulates little by little and expands. Especially when he goes south to Luoyang, he can really be called a stroke of magic. One month or half a month later, the whole situation will be completely different. Ma Han wants to gain his current status and will achieve half the result with twice the effort - and this is a decision made by Ma Han himself without any plan by any strategist.

"What a wonder! The general has risen for four years and has made countless decisions. The best way to Luo's strategy is!" Guo Jia praised the ranks and praised him. "Thousands of troops, thousands of hu of water, and they will go westward without hesitation. The Emperor returned to the capital. Although this move is a dangerous war, he will even take risks with his body. However, once he makes a contribution, he will be like a chess game, and the whole plate will be alive. The general's grasp of the general's general's strength and dares to take the heroic spirit of Li from the fire. Guo Jia admires it."

Xun Yue was surprised. He knew Guo Jia best. This son has always been arrogant and easy-to-see. Most of the people who praised him were famous scholars in the world. This was the first time he saw this son so highly praised a general of the dynasty, and he was a general younger than him.

No matter how good Xun Yue can recognize people, he will never see through Guo Jia's future. Guo Jia in history is a ghost strategist who is very adventurous and likes to take risks in order to get the most profit.

In September of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Lu Bu, who was entrenched in Xuzhou. Cao's army first defeated Pengcheng, then defeated Lu Bu, and finally besieged Xia Pi. Lu Bu did not stand. The battle lasted for more than half a year. Seeing that the soldiers were tired and the food was not enough, Cao Cao was ready to give up. As a result, Guo Jia and Xun You advised him strongly, strengthening Cao Cao's confidence. He then drowned the waters and finally defeated Lu Bu. It has to be said that this was an adventure. If Lu Bu resisted it, Cao Cao had no choice but to withdraw his troops. With his decline, he would be easily chased by Lu Bu's cavalry, and the consequences were worrying.

Before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was worried because his troops were not as strong as Yuan Shao and did not dare to look north. It was Guo Jia. The strategy of "Ten Victories and Ten Loses" strengthened Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's confidence in giving it a try. In the end, Cao Cao narrowly won. The Battle of Guandu was recognized as Cao Cao's biggest political and military gambling, and the two largest gamblers in Cao's camp were Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

A typical example that best reflects Guo Jia's adventurous spirit is the Battle of Cao Cao's northern expedition in the 12th year of Jian'an. Before the war, many strategists and generals dissuaded him, believing that the troops were hard to expedition and the rear was not stable. Once they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. As a result, Guo Jia strongly disagreed with the public, supported Cao Cao's northern expedition, and followed the army.

When Cao's army arrived at Yicheng, Guo Jia felt that the speed of advancement was still too slow, and he said again: "Soldiers are more important than speed. If a large army advances slowly, it is possible to be prepared. It is better to leave baggage and advance lightly quickly and attack them unprepared." So after setting up some illusions of withdrawal, Cao Cao secretly led a light elite soldier. Under the leadership of his guide Tian Chou, he suddenly appeared in Bailang Mountain and died in a battle.

After the war, while Cao Cao rewarded the heroes who followed the army to fight, he also rewarded the ministers and staff who advised him not to conquer Wuhuan, because no one knew better than Cao Cao that he had won this battle too risky, and he was a little scared when he thought about it.

Guo Jia in history is such an adventurous figure. It is not difficult to understand why Guo Jia heard about Ma Han’s adventures, success and success, and was so excited.

Guo Jia likes to take risks, and Ma Wu dares to take risks. These two people should be born with a pair of partners.

When Ma Han officially asked Guo Jia to serve him, Guo Jia, who was a close friend, almost refused and immediately bowed. Ma Han was a little dizzy and wondered if he had let go of the king and domineering spirit.

In fact, if Ma Han knew the whole story of Guo Jia's enlistment in history, he would not have thought about this. In history, Guo Jia went to Cao's camp to meet Cao Cao with a letter of recommendation, and after a conversation, he immediately recognized his master. In addition to Cao Cao being a hero of the world, the golden sign of the emperor also played a crucial role.

Before Cao Cao took over the emperor, he had always relied on two or three advisers who had followed him when he started his family. It was not until the first year of Jian'an that heroes in the world came like a tide, which had nothing to do with Cao Cao's heroic spirit. Otherwise, Guo Jia would have lived in seclusion for six years in Yangdi, only a few hundred miles away from Yanzhou, so why didn't he vote? But in the first year of Jian'an, he came to vote for a letter. In the same situation, Xun You, who was stranded in Jingzhou for several years, sent Cao Cao and his companion Xun Yu to fall into the dilemma of Yanzhou and ignored him, but as soon as the first year of Jian'an, Xun Yu immediately came to apply for it - what had he done long ago?

In the same year, there were Kong Rong, Hua Xin, Liu Ye and other famous scholars from all over the world. Which of these people was not for the emperor? If Cao Cao was just a local prince, no matter how arrogant you were, you would be begged for it, and you would probably be left with a look of being thrown away.

Now, the person who got the golden sign of the Han family's 200-year-old "old shop" was replaced by Ma Han and visited him personally. Guo Jia's role in this great Buddha is not just "to order a deceased person"?

After a long talk all night, Xun Yue, who was nearly fifty years old, couldn't stand it anymore and said he left, but Guo Jia was still very excited. Seeing Guo Jia's thin body, Ma Han wanted to let him rest early, but he couldn't help interrupting his interest. Thinking that staying up all night was nothing, he let him go. The two kept talking about it until the rooster crowed and the excitement was over.

The next day, it started to rain heavily and naturally it was impossible to set off. Moreover, Guo Jia also needed time to pack his luggage, which delayed another day.

In the evening, Ma Han received another warning: Cao's army appeared in Yingyin, with about a hundred infantry and cavalry, under the banner of Cao. It is still unknown who it was.

There are more than a hundred infantry and cavalry? No matter how you look, it doesn’t seem to be coming to him. It’s obvious that Cao’s army did not know that he was in Yangdi, otherwise it would be impossible for him to send only more than a hundred infantry and cavalry to come... to die! But no matter what Cao’s army’s purpose is, they must leave tomorrow.

The next day, the sky cleared, and Ma Han and Guo Jia finally set off - they got this genius of the Three Kingdoms, and the harvest exceeded expectations. Ma Han was already known, and with the frequent traces of Cao's army, they should not stay here for a long time. Xun Yue said that he would come to Luo to face Jun later.

Just one hour after Ma Han and his party left, a Cao army appeared in front of Guo’s house. A young general who was young and in his prime asked loudly: “Can Mr. Fengxiao be there? Cao Ang, under the order of Cao Envoy, he received the guidance of Mr. Wenruo, and came to visit Mr. Wen.”

The wooden door creaked open, and an old servant who stayed behind the old house opened the door and looked up and down at the other party, shook his head: "You are late, and the master has already gone to Luoyang with the envoy of the horse."

Because he was one step late, Ma Han failed to get Xun Yan; similarly, because he was one step late, Cao Cao failed to get Guo Jia. For Xun Yan to exchange for Guo Jia, Cao Cao was really a big loss this time. (To be continued)
