The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 570 The Rising Hero

When he came out of the study and passed a certain small garden, he heard a girl's chuckle, and Lu Bu stopped.

In the courtyard, Guo Jia, who was wearing a blue shirt, was chatting happily with a young girl. He had a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Guo Jia was born handsome and knowledgeable, and occasionally he would play tricks, making the girl next to her cover her mouth and laugh non-stop.

"Feng Xiao, come here, I have something to tell you." Lu Bu standing at the door darkened his face and said in a deep voice.

Guo Jia and the girl turned their heads at the same time. The girl saw Lv Bu, she was light-hearted, and called out "foster father" in a salute, while Guo Jia walked over with an expression of indifference.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, said 'hmm' to the girl, and then led Guo Jia out to another place.

When he was leaving, Guo Jia didn't forget to turn his head and make a funny face at the girl. The girl who was worried about Guo Jia burst into laughter, like a flower suddenly blooming outside the city.

In the lobby, Lu Bu didn't sit in the center of the hall, but found a random place to sit down.

He glanced at Guo Jia who was standing there, took a sip of his tea, and asked peacefully, "Feng Xiao, do you know why I called you here?"

"How can Xiaomin guess what Da Sima is thinking?"

Guo Jia looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Even though he was the boss of the mansion, he still didn't have the habit of calling himself a 'lower official'.

Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes flashed a look of hostility, and now he has been ranked as Da Sima, one man under ten thousand people.But when Guo Jia faced him, he still spoke in such a frivolous tone, without any trace of etiquette, which was really displeasing.If it wasn't for the trick, Lu Bu would have followed Chen Gong's suggestion and expelled Guo Jia from the mansion.

"You are a swinger, and countless girls in the city are crazy about you. I have also heard about it. I have never cared about how you mess around outside, but... please don't come to harm Bai'er."

Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Lu Bu began to preach to Guo Jia as earnestly as possible.

"I just talked to her because I felt sorry for her loneliness. I never thought about the matter of children, Da Sima, you worry too much." Guo Jia straightened up, without avoiding his eyes, and faced Lu Bu calmly.

After looking at each other for a while, Lu Bu withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, and signaled Guo Jia to leave.

"In the future, stay away from Bai'er."

Looking at Guo Jia who turned around, Lu Bu reminded him a little.Weng Weng, who loved Dong Bai the most, was dead, and he didn't want this gentle and quiet girl to suffer any more harm, especially emotionally.

Guo Jia, who walked to the door, paused for a moment. With his back to Lu Bu, he showed a little self-mockery, then put his head back in his hands, and lazily walked out of the hall.

Yanzhou East County, Baima County.

A team of two to three thousand people was stationed beside the gurgling river.

The soldiers resting on the spot were covered with wounds, looked extremely tired, all of them were disheveled, and their morale was declining.

A few days ago, after Cao Cao learned that Li Jue and Guo Si were going to Changshan County, he set up an ambush on the way, but Li Ru saw through it, and he used his plan to defeat Cao Cao at the foot of Luchang Mountain.

As a result, most of his soldiers were killed and injured, and Cao Cao himself was injured by Liu Shi. Fortunately, Cao Hong rescued him desperately and changed his horses, so that Cao Cao survived.

Strolling along the riverside, with the breeze blowing gently, Cao Cao, with his arms wrapped in bandages, faced the endless wilderness, feeling infinitely deep in his heart: If I could have good counselors, why would I end up in such a field!
However, scholars in the world either turned to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Tao Qian and other prestigious local princes, or they went to Guanzhong to seek official positions.

May I ask, how many people in the world would look up to me, Cao Mengde?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao laughed at himself. When most scholars mentioned themselves, they would say: Cao Mengde, after the eunuch.

At this time, Mao Jie, who was in charge, walked over quickly and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, there were two scribes in front of the gate of Caizhai who came to pay a visit. I have asked them to be invited into the tent. Do you want to see me, my lord?" one side."

"Oh? Is this the case? Then the two of them have reported their names." Cao Cao asked.

Mao Jie nodded, and replied truthfully: "I have reported, the older one is called Xun You, the younger one is called Xun Yu, the two of them..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao, who was standing in front of him just now, had disappeared. Looking back, Jing Fei seemed to be running away.

Running out of the tent in one breath, Cao Cao suddenly opened the curtain, looked at the two uncles and nephews sitting inside, and shouted in surprise, "Wen Ruo, Gong Da!"

Hearing this extremely joyful voice, the uncle and nephew of the Xun family got up, bowed their hands and saluted with a smile on their faces: "Yu (you) has seen General Cao."

"Why do you two need to be so polite, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly!" Cao Cao waved his hands quickly, and it was obvious that he was very excited at this moment.

After the ceremony was seated, the happy Cao Cao shouted to the outside: "Dian Wei, serve all the good wine, meat, food and snacks in the army! I want to entertain distinguished guests today, drink him until he gets drunk!"

"Master, haven't you been short of food for the past two days? Where are there meat snacks in the army?" Dian Wei, who was guarding outside the tent, didn't know, so he answered honestly, because he hadn't had enough to eat for several days. up.

Hearing this answer, Cao Cao's old face turned red instantly, but he still ordered: "Then go to the nearby county town to get some wine and meat. If you neglect the distinguished guest, I will take you as a questioner!"

"okay!"

Dian Wei answered briskly, and took his orders to leave.

The uncles and nephews of the Xun family didn't care about eating and drinking, they cared more about Cao Cao's attitude.

"I heard that General Cao has lost a battle recently?" Xun Yu, who had a gentle face, took a sip of tea and said it seemingly unintentionally.

Everyone knows that losing a battle is an extremely disgraceful thing.Especially when someone mentions it, it will be more or less deliberate to the person concerned.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. If you lose this time, you will learn your lesson next time and win again."

I have to say that Cao Cao has a good mentality and can withstand storms and setbacks.

The two uncles and nephews looked at each other, and they both saw expressions of approval in each other's eyes.

Then Xun You got up and bowed his hands to Cao Cao, "Forgive me for being presumptuous. Since General Cao started his army, he has suffered numerous defeats and suffered countless casualties. He still has no place to occupy. In my humble opinion, it is better to go back to your hometown and hang around The civil servants are idle and want a stable life, so why bother to take this muddy water?"

After Cao Cao heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the great swan!"

"Oh? So, I would like to hear, what is General Cao's ambition?" Xun Yu put down the teacup in his hand and started talking with great interest.

"The Han Dynasty was in ruins, the master was young, there were traitors in power inside, and outside the feudal lords' separatism, causing wars to rise everywhere and the people displaced." Cao Cao spoke loudly, and when he spoke later, his voice gradually became sonorous. He resolutely said: "Exceeding one's own strength, one wants to extend righteousness to the world, one wants to save the common people from the mud, and is willing to devote one's life's energy to helping the great man and assisting the emperor."

When these words were spoken, there was not much impassionedness, but to outsiders, they were extraordinarily passionate.

Perhaps, this is the charm of Cao Cao himself.

Xun Yu asked him: Do you regret it?

Cao Cao shook his head.

No regrets though!
