Needless to say, it is definitely time for Cao Ying to need Guo Jia to come out again. This situation, according to the rhythm of the year, happened to be when Guo Jia and Cao Cao divided their troops into two groups, one to resist Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the other to suppress the Sun-Liu alliance. Guo Jia's emergence not only allowed Cao Cao's strategic plan to progress perfectly, but the key to it was Guo Jia's name, which was enough to scare some people. Or to put it conservatively, it¡¯s not timid, at least it will change from being ready to act to being hesitant again. Therefore, Guo Jia's role is huge, and he can be regarded as a reassuring agent that can calm Cao Cao's huge power. And Cao Cao was worthy of being called Cao Cao. As always, he didn't care about his own face. He really put down his dignity and invited Guo Jia to come out. It is a pity that Guo Jia behaved very coldly this time, just like Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage, he directly declined Cao Cao's appointment by claiming illness, without any hesitation or hesitation. Of course, Guo Jia must have taken this opportunity to recommend Sima Yi, just like Kong Rong recommended Ni Heng and Xu Shu recommended Zhuge, blowing Sima Yi to the sky. But everyone in this era knows that this is just a humble and polite statement. At least at this time, few people really take Sima Yi seriously. Unfortunately, the relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Cao is no longer what it used to be. It can be seen that Cao Cao himself was somewhat hesitant about inviting Guo Jia to come out again. Therefore, after Guo Jia declined, Cao Cao did not force himself anymore. Since he was unwilling to go out, he should not go out. Going out has its benefits, but going out also comes with risks. If Guo Jia doesn't go out, things may become troublesome. But that doesn't mean that Cao Cao can't solve this dilemma, right? The same thing would have happened back then. It is estimated that Cao Cao not only visited the thatched cottage three times, but also looked around and around. Cao Cao would definitely not give up without inviting Guo Jia out. Who is Cao Cao? When he was asking for a comment, what method could Cao Cao not use? ! Of course, if it were still the same now, it would be impossible for Guo Jia to retreat to the mountains and forests. Therefore, there is no if in reality. In short, in the end, Guo Jia still did not come out, and Cao Cao did not force himself on this issue. I have to say that this was a result that made the anti-Cao people heave a sigh of relief. Cao Cao left Cao Ren to guard Jingzhou. I don't want Cao Ren to have merit, but I want Cao Ren to have no fault. As long as he can hold Jingzhou for an hour or three. Not to mention that the Sun-Liu coalition will have conflicts sooner or later, but after Cao Cao has eliminated Ma Teng and Han Sui from the north, he will be free to fight Jiangdong again. Can this kid Sun Quan still be able to make big waves? ! As for Hefei, which Sun Quan personally attacked, to be honest, in the time after the Battle of Chibi. Cao Cao really had no time to think about it and could not mobilize a large army to resist, so he could only send Zhang Xi and Qianqi to lead the Runan army to relieve the siege. Fortunately, Jiang Ji was quite resourceful. He succeeded in tricking Sun Quan, who had been unable to attack for a long time, into retreating, and the siege of Hefei was solved. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise for Cao Cao. He not only discovered a talent like Jiang Ji. At the same time, it also blocked the first battle of Hefei, preventing Cao Cao from falling into despair. but. Hefei was surprised, but Cao Ren in Jingzhou couldn't defeat the Sun-Liu coalition. Zhou Yu defeated Cao Ren in Jiangling. Cao Ren suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to abandon Jiangling and evacuate. Since then, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were also occupied by Jiangdong, who finally controlled the entire Yangtze River. As for Liu Bei, while Zhou Yu was holding back Cao Ren's main force, he secretly took advantage behind his back and captured four of the eight counties in Jingzhou (Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, and Changsha) in Jingnan almost without a single blow. Later, Liu Bei "borrowed" Nanjun and Jiangxia from Jiangdong, and Liu Qi died again, and Liu Bei finally took full control of the entire Jingzhou! Of course, it hasn't reached that point yet. It can only be said that Liu Bei did steal a lot of big gains from this head-on fight between Jiangdong and Cao Ying! As for Cao Cao, he led his army to attack Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in the northwest in the middle of winter. This was a hard battle, but fortunately, Cao Cao held on in the end and successfully repelled Ma Teng and others, temporarily relieving the crisis in the northwest. However, when we say "repulse" and "temporarily", it is obvious that this is far from a once and for all thing. The crisis in the northwest is always there, and the descendants of Ma Teng, headed by Ma Chao, may come again at any time. Then, at this moment, something happened suddenly that had something to do with Guo Jia. Cao Cao's favorite son, Xiao Cao Chong, died! Of course, to say that it has something to do with Guo Jia means that Cao Chong has something to do with Guo Jia, but it does not mean that Cao Chong's death has something to do with Guo Jia. Whether Cao Chong really died in an accident or at the hands of Cao Pi, Guo Jia didn't know. And even with Guo Jia's gossip, he doesn't have the guts to investigate this matter now. However, after all, Cao Chong was the child who gave Guo Jiachong joy back then. After all, Cao Chong was the child who was taught by Guo Jia himself. After all, Cao Chong was also the son of Cao Cao.?A child who is not rejected, and the most important thing is that Cao Chong was almost brought up by Cao Xi since he was a child. Cao Xi once treated Cao Chong as his own son. Now Cao Chong has died at a young age. Not even married, a white-haired person giving a black-haired person, wouldn't Cao Xi feel sad? ! Apart from anything else, Cao Xi would definitely have to rush back to attend Cao Chong's funeral. Guo Jia thought about it and felt that as a husband, he also had the responsibility to accompany Cao Xi back and to accompany Cao Xi through this difficult and sad period. ! So, Guo Jia finally came out of Wollongong, although in an abnormal way. However, in the eyes of the world, no one knows what Guo Jia was thinking at this time. Whether he came out of the mountain through Cao Chong's funeral or really just came for Cao Chong. But one thing is certain, since you Guo Jia came out, since you came out well, without any illness or pain, and since you came out during this period when Cao Cao was sad and irritable, then Guo Jia will definitely be directly killed by Cao Cao. Capture the strong man! Now you, Mr. Guo Jia, can¡¯t find any excuse to refuse! I have to say that the time for Guo Jia to come out of the mountain is really "the right time". Because it happened that at this time, the Sun-Liu Alliance in the south, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, were engaged in a so-called marriage. It was impossible for Sun Quan to watch Liu Bei occupy most of the fruits of victory, and as Liu Bei was an ally, Sun Quan could not directly attack. Therefore, it was Zhou Yu's advice that led to this marriage between Sun and Liu. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this marriage is more of an annexation than an ordinary political marriage. It is Jiangdong Sun Quan who wants to annex all Liu Bei's forces! If Sun and Liu are two families, there will be gaps between them, which can be used by Cao Cao. But if Sun and Liu become one family, Jiangdong's power will suddenly become extremely powerful, and it will become enough to directly compete with Cao Cao. Got it! Therefore, Cao Cao will never allow this to happen. And sure enough, this time Guo Jia took the initiative to come to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao directly handed over the matter to Guo Jia. Guo Jia can do whatever you want. In short, you can't let Jiangdong's matter happen. Guo Jia There was no chance to refuse at all! In the eyes of the outside world, the sign that Cao Cao and Guo Jia were "reunited" was that when Cao Chong was buried, he was buried with a deceased daughter of Guo Jia's concubine Zhenmi family. In ancient times, this was the so-called shady marriage. (To be continued)
