Chapter 62: Just Be Yourself
Guo Jia had already had this idea as early as the carriage.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Rang just came to him, Guo Jia, and today Yuan Shao came to him. Is this just a coincidence? Is there no connection in it?
Previously, the reason why Guo Jia concluded that the matter was related to foreign warlords was entirely because of Xun Yu's case. Of course, that case was related to foreign warlords, but why should we also contact Zhang Rang's affairs the day before?
Maybe these are two unrelated things? Just as Xun You inferred, it was just a worry, but Guo Jia thought he was self-righteous and put the two things together.
Guo Jia has always underestimated Yuan Shao due to historical reasons, but it is undeniable that Yuan Shao is still very capable. If this time, Yuan Shao pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger and engages in conspiracy behind the scenes, many things seem to be clear.
First of all, Yuan Shao was not only an insider, but also a proposer of the incident. Is he selfish when he made this suggestion to He Jin? After all, if He Jin had listened to Cao Cao, the eunuchs would have died long ago.
It would inevitably take a lot of time to summon warlords from the border town, and during this period, it was enough for the eunuchs to know and design He Jin.
Then there is the motivation. It can be imagined that He Jin was killed by the eunuch, and Yuan Shao avenged He Jin and killed the eunuch would be a great harm to the world. By then, both in terms of momentum and prestige, Yuan Shao would reach the peak, and then become the next He Jin, and He Jin was still He Jin who had no eunuchs fighting for power!
This is definitely not Guo Jia's own guess. At least there is such a possibility. Why did Yuan Shao and others fail to persuade He Jinjin to stop the palace at the beginning? After He Jin was killed, Yuan Shao and others immediately led their troops to kill him? All this seemed to have been arranged long ago. If nothing unexpected happened, after the incident, Yuan Shao would immediately have the identity and status of Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao in the future!
Therefore, from this time, Yuan Shao can definitely be regarded as the biggest beneficiary of He Jin's death.
If the previous guesses are true, then the subsequent things can be explained: Yuan Shao is sensitive and it is impossible to directly disclose the news to Zhang Rang, so he secretly tried to push Guo Jia out. You must know that Yuan Shao is very familiar with Guo Jia's situation and is also very sure that Guo Jia is one of the insiders.
But Yuan Shao is not very clear about whether Guo Jia revealed the matter to Zhang Rang according to Yuan Shao's idea. So, after Guo Jia had just met Zhang Rang the day before, Yuan Shao immediately invited Guo Jia to dinner on this day, just to test out some clues!
The biggest doubt about everything is how Yuan Shao chose to push Guo Jia out, and how did he notice a little person like Guo Jia?
But now, Yuan Shao invited Guo Jia to dinner. This fact has proved that Guo Jia is not transparent in his eyes. In this way, how did he notice Guo Jia? Is this problem still important?
There is no conflict, nor can there be any conflict. This is why Guo Jia is so worried now. Yuan Shao, or the think tank behind Yuan Shao, is so sinister, cunning, vicious, and smart?!
There are not many real fools in this era. Guo Jia thought that he knew a little history and some modern knowledge, and underestimated the world, which would definitely be called arrogance!
"Young Master?" Tomorrow, Guo Jia pulled Guo Jia from the side. Guo Jia's brows were so frowned. "If you really can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore." The little maid couldn't help but say.
Guo Jia was stunned and slapped his head suddenly.
"Yes, why do I have to figure out these things. No matter who is doing it behind it, I just need to think about my own affairs and know what to do!"
Nowadays, Guo Jia is a low-level figure and is not a participant, planner or solver of these conspiracies. No matter who is driving the "stock market" behind it, Guo Jia only needs to make a small profit according to this momentum.
"Haha! Tomorrow, you're so smart!" Guo Jia, who figured out all this, was so happy to pick up Tomorrow and turn around twice, and kissed him on the face.
The little maid's face suddenly turned red and she said in a panic,
"Young Master, what are you doing? Let me go down quickly. There are so many people here!" As he said that, his whole head hid in Guo Jia's arms.
······
Luoyang, outside the Huben Camp,
"Ha, you dare to stop me? Do you know who I am? Go and call Yan Liang out!" Guo Jia was definitely looking for trouble on purpose. Of course, the reason why Guo Jia was confident to make trouble this time was because he got permission when he was having dinner with the Yuan Shao brothers just now.
"Who? He dared to make trouble in my Huben Camp?"
Good guy, it seems that not only means that Cao Cao will come, but also that Yan Liang will come.
Seeing Yan Liang's fierce appearance, even if Guo Jia was confident, he couldn't help but take a step back. Some fear came from his identity, but some fear came from his own.
Guo Jia, who was already very arrogant, began to worry at this time whether Yan Liang would give a "General to be unbearable for military orders outside the country", or if he was in a hurry, he would kill him first and then report, and then commit suicide by separating himself. Cough cough, he was carrying a thorn to apologize. At that time, Guo Jia would have to cry in front of the King of Hell.
"Okay! It's actually you boy again!" Yan Liang obviously recognized Guo Jia. After all, there were not many people who "dare" to come to Hu Ben Camp to find fault with him.
Yan Liang was so aggressive that he walked towards Guo Jia. Looking at his eyes as big as a gong, the little maid was so scared that she hid behind Guo Jia. Unfortunately, no one else could let Guo Jia hide.
Damn it, this is completely different from what he had imagined at the beginning!
"Let's wait! Look at what this is first!" Guo Jia hurriedly threw the things given to Yuan Shao over without saying a word.
Yan Liang received it in his hand,
"This is...how do you have such a thing?!" Yan Liang asked shouted.
"This is what he gave me when I was having dinner with Lord Yuan just now." Guo Jia replied, regaining some confidence, "I'm not going to do anything, I just want to go in and see how my brother is doing."
"We are still practicing now, you will be in the future for an hour." Yan Liang said directly, throwing the things back to Guo Jia.
"Ha!" Guo Jia immediately sneered, "It's no big deal to look down on me, can you look down on General Yuan at will?!"
This guy has such a face that is fake and powerful.
Yan Liang's face turned dark,
"Hmph, I'll call you out!" Then he walked to Guo Jia, pointed at Guo Jia's chest and said, "Boy, Guo Yuan is a good soldier. Unfortunately, he has a big brother like you. I don't want to see such a great seedling ruined by you!"
"You don't have to worry about it." Guo Jia replied lightly, reaching out to open Yan Liang's hand, but Yan Liang's hand was still motionless. Guo Jia was embarrassed and couldn't help but say, "Don't you go and call me out? Are you planning to stand here with me for an hour?"
"Hmph!" Yan Liang snorted coldly again and turned around and walked towards the camp.
"Tsk, what's the point of being proud of you!" As soon as Yan Liang left, Guo Jia finally dared to be proud of you...
