Chapter 206: Xi Zhicai's Dream

There is no way to know how Guo Jia thought of Xi Zhicai in the past. However, for Xi Zhicai, as time goes by, he has become increasingly unhappy with Guo Jia!

In fact, from another perspective, people like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai who are very arrogant at heart can actually hate each other because they are like themselves. This is actually a mutual recognition! Even if two people do not talk about narcissism, they will definitely not look down on themselves!

So during that period, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were still like opponents on the surface, never interacting with each other. In secret, they might have always been sympathizing with each other. They lamented that I was not alone, and finally there was a person who had the same experience as me, had the same thoughts, and even showed almost the same appearance!

As a result, after a period of time, something happened, and Xi Zhicai's dissatisfaction with Guo Jia was rising straight, and even rose to the extreme! Because Xi Zhicai discovered that Guo Jia had actually "degenerated"! Of course, this degeneration is not the degeneration. Xi Zhicai always believed that people like them who suffer injustice, like them who are resentful to the times, should rise up and resist, to change the entire era so that all people from poor families can enjoy fair opportunities for official career, rather than being completely monopolized by those famous families. Guo Jia and his Xi Zhicai should try to break this decadent tradition and carry out a cross-age reform!

A hero does not care about his origin, but only depends on his ability, and only his talent is to improve his skills. This is Xi Zhicai’s ultimate goal!

Originally, in the peaceful and prosperous times, all this could only be regarded as delusions in Xi Zhicai's heart. At that time, he could only accept it and follow the trend. But at this moment, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, allowing Xi Zhicai to see the opportunity. Many heroes embarked on the road of rising because of suppressing the Yellow Turban Army. At this time, the phenomenon of the chaotic times was becoming more and more obvious. Xi Zhicai's goal should have been delusional and gradually saw hope.

Just when Xi Zhicai was full of heroic feelings and was about to do something big, he was shocked to find that Guo Jia had actually "degenerated"! Guo Jia himself should be the same as his Xi Zhicai. He is a very arrogant existence. He usually does not make friends with anyone except for some academic discussions and communication with others.

Because other people are either the kind of mediocre people who are born superior and destined to be filial and honest; or they are just mediocre people who are full of slavery and have no sense of resistance at all. Can these two types of people really be friends with them?!

But Guo Jia did it, and the goal was very obvious. He made friends with a descendant of a famous family like Xun Yu! And Guo Jia also used various relationships to try to find opportunities to go to Luoyang, the capital to seek development. In the eyes of others, this may be a natural move. People just try their best to find a way out! I can only say that Guo Jia had not grown up and had not matured before. Now he has really grown up and knows how to get along in this society.

However, in Xi Zhicai's eyes, Guo Jia's goal is obviously no longer to change this decadent era. Guo Jia completely wanted to restore his declining family to a famous family! He did not seek to change the era. He actually wanted to return to privilege!

From the perspective of later generations, this is like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is obviously necessary to break the tradition and benefit the people of the world, but in the end I couldn't stand the temptation and wanted to become the emperor instead.

So, Xi Zhicai's hatred for Guo Jia reached its peak. If he was originally an enemy, there was nothing hateful about it, but Guo Jia betrayed his beliefs and chose to fall!

Xi Zhicai seemed to have seen the weakest and most depressed side of his heart. With this as a warning, Xi Zhicai's belief became stronger! Xi Zhicai would never follow the trend and embark on Guo Jia's path. Xi Zhicai must overwhelm Guo Jia, let the world see, let Guo Jia see, and let him see for himself what is the inevitable choice for the development of the times! Let the decayed things be completely ruined!

Therefore, Guo Jia followed Yuan Shao, the representative of the gentry at that time. In Xi Zhicai's eyes, that was a matter of course. So Xi Zhicai immediately chose Cao Cao, the representative of grassroots. Xi Zhicai knew that Cao Cao was not liked by most gentry. If Cao Cao wanted to accomplish something, he had to listen to him and adopt the plan of talent-only recommendation! It can be said that Cao Cao is the most suitable lord to realize Xi Zhicai's dream!

As for why Guo Jia suddenly left Yuan Shao and came to join Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai didn't quite understand this kind of thing, nor did she want to understand it. Xi Zhicai only knew that the moment Guo Jia decided to come and join Cao Cao, it decided that their future would inevitably be in such an opposing situation!

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are very similar on the surface, but in fact they are completely opposite. It is impossible for them to live peacefully under the same roof! With their own incompatible contradictory beliefs, they can only end up with one side completely overwhelming the other! If Guo Jia doesn't come and start a war, Xi Zhicai will feel that there is something wrong.

Well, at this moment, Guo Jia obviously didn't know that his small misunderstanding was actually just an irrelevant farce. Before Guo Jia arrived in Dongjun, some things had become a foregone conclusion!

......

Just as he settled down in Dongjun, Xun Yu immediately came to Guo Jia and complained.

"Fengxiao, why did you do such a thing as soon as you came here!"

Facing Xun Yu's questioning, Guo Jia was obviously even more helpless. He could not tell Xun Yu directly that he had not learned about the situation on Cao Cao's side in detail beforehand. Will Xun Yu believe this? Well, even if Xun Yu is willing to believe it, Guo Jia's words are obviously loopholes. If you say that you have not learned about the situation on Cao Cao's side in advance, why do you think that Cao Cao has no counselors?!

There was no way, Guo Jia could only use his "prophet" at this time and whispered to Xun Yu,

"Brother Wen Ruo, I actually think that Chen Gongtai is probably a bit unreliable and may betray his lord in the future. However, I cannot tell the lord clearly, so that people will not feel that I am excluding dissidents. So I want to adopt a more positive approach. Under our suppression, even if Chen Gong really betrays him in the future, it will not have a big impact on the overall situation."

Xun Yu frowned when he heard this and couldn't help but say,

"I don't know much about Chen Gong at the moment. I don't know where Fengxiao can tell that he is unreliable. But when the lord escaped from Luoyang, he was rescued by Chen Gong, I think there shouldn't be too big a problem. Even if Chen Gong is really a little shaky inside, Fengxiao will you even force someone to rebel if you do this?!"

Speaking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but remind him,

"We are just a little filial piety, and we hope you don't put your personal feelings into business. Now the lord is the most critical starting stage, and the civil servants are in short supply, so we need everyone to work together."
