Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 45 Sima Ju's mentality completely collapsed

Cao Yan took Guo Jia to the restaurant they often went to.

When the shopkeeper saw Cao Yan, he immediately came up to greet him warmly, saying, "Captain! It's been a long time since you last visited our shop! Please come up to the private room on the second floor!"

"You two, let's follow the same old rules." Cao Yan replied with a smile.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper responded and personally led the two of them to the innermost private room on the second floor.

The clever waiters had already brought two jars of Du Kang wine and a few side dishes, and placed them on the table swiftly.

After the shopkeeper and the waiter left, Guo Jia did not hesitate to pick up a jar of wine, filled it up for himself first, and then added a bowl for Cao Yan.

Smelling the delicate fragrance of the wine, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh, "After so many years, the taste of this Du Kang wine is still so mellow and intoxicating!"

Cao Yan raised his glass and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao has come from afar, I'll toast you first!"

"Cheers!" Guo Jia was not polite and drank three large cups in one breath.

After three cups of wine, Guo Jia's face flushed.

He burped and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ha! So comfortable!"

Cao Yan glanced at the unnatural blush on Guo Jia's face and thought to himself, "Guo Jia is a dissolute man, a master of all things eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. It was precisely because he had drained his body that, when he was helping Cao Cao conquer the Wuhuan, he died of acclimatization problems..."

Guo Jia, however, did not know what Cao Yan was thinking. He asked Cao Yan, "Zhicai's letter mentioned that this place contains everything we imagined in the past!"

Cao Yan nodded and said, "This restaurant has a wide variety of drinks, and across the street is the newly opened brothel..."

"?" Guo Jia was bewildered when he heard this.
What the hell are you talking about?

Am I that kind of person?

When will you open for business?
Ugh! I was led astray!
He shook his head vigorously, threw out the messy thoughts in his mind, glared at Cao Yan and said, "That's not what I'm talking about!"

"Oh." Cao Yan put away his smirk and asked, "So what did you fantasize about in the past?"

After Guo Jia drank another glass of wine, he said, "You asked me about what you said to Wen Ruo and Zhi Cai?"

"That's it! Since everything you want is here, then stay and you can choose any official position you want. How about it?" Cao Yan said very proudly.

If it were someone else, they would probably have been moved to tears by Cao Yan's words.

But Guo Jia flatly refused: "Come on, you want to quit? I won't accept it!"

"..." Cao Yan looked at Guo Jia with disdain and couldn't help asking, "What did Zhicai say about me in the letter?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia chuckled coldly and said, "Such a genius is rarely seen in the world!"

"!!!" Upon hearing this, Cao Yan showed a smug smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia changed the subject and said, "Be careful if you are lazy!"

“???” The smile on Cao Yan’s face froze instantly.

Excessive!

It's too much!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Seeing this, Guo Jia was very happy and the smile on his face became even brighter.

A drink,

A long talk,
Cao Yan and Guo Jia seemed to have become good friends who could talk about anything.

The original favorability level of 30% has now reached 68%. If I work harder, I can pick the peaches.

With [Divine Strategy (Gold)], he will be a true oriental magician!

But the cooling-off period of 3 months is a bit too long.

……

When Cao Yan and Guo Jia walked into the county magistrate's mansion reeking of alcohol, Xun Yu, who had just returned from Chenliu, was stunned.

Xun Yu was surprised and asked, "When did you two get together?"

Xun Yu had previously sent many letters to Guo Jia, but none of them had any effect, with no response. He thought Guo Jia looked down on Cao Cao, so he might have to wait a little longer.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Guo Jia and Cao Yan arm in arm, and he was naturally confused.

"Hahaha! Hiccup~~!" Guo Jia burst into laughter upon seeing his former classmate and friend. "It's Wen Ruo! Long time no see!"

Xun Yu quickly regained his usual calm and smiling demeanor and replied, "It's been a long time indeed."

Then, a meaningful look appeared in Xun Yu's eyes, and he thought to himself:
"With Cao Zi'an, Xi Zhicai, and now Guo Fengxiao, Dongwuyang City is going to be bustling!"

Walking into the hall,

Cao Yan pointed to the area below where Xi Zhicai sat and said, "Old Cao is still fighting guerrilla warfare against the Yellow Turbans, and his whereabouts are erratic. For the time being, you should stay with Wen Ruo and help him."

Cao Yan had just told Guo Jia about the invasion of Yanzhou by the Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou.

Xun Yu said cooperatively, "Just like Zhicai, you should start by doing some work. Once you are familiar with the government affairs of Dongwuyang, you can wait for the Lord to appoint or dismiss you."

Guo Jia didn't seem to care whether he could be valued by Cao Cao or not. He smiled and said to Xun Yu, "Alright, during this time, I will take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to you, Wen Ruo."

Having said that, Guo Jia sat down next to Xun Yu.

After sitting down, the pungent smell of alcohol on his body went straight into Xun Yu's nose.

Xun Yu unceremoniously kicked Guo Jia away and said, "You reek of alcohol! Don't let the incense on me get the better of you!"

"Oh my!" Guo Jia lay on the floor, groaning in a mock manner, "Zi'an, hurry up and save me!"

However, Cao Yan had placed a stack of bamboo slips on the desk next to Guo Jia at some point.

Seeing Guo Jia lying on the ground and shouting at him, Cao Yan walked over and helped him up, saying, "Come, practice some political work first to warm up."

Xun Yu's mouth curled up slightly.

Guo Jia was speechless: "..."
-
Let's say,

The Yellow Turban Army finally made it to dawn, and Cao's army seemed to disappear with the sunlight.

This made many Yellow Turbans believe even more that Cao’s army was a group of evil spirits!
Sima Ju, who had stayed in the camp all night without closing his eyes, finally ordered the army to retreat slowly.

He wanted to go south to meet up with Xu He, the left-hand commander of Jiyin County.

The remaining two Yellow Turban armies still have hundreds of thousands of combat forces, and they are still in an absolute advantage.

Cao's army would naturally not let him go easily.

Cao Cao ordered to rest for half an hour.

Half an hour later,
Zhao Yun took the lead, leading Xiahou Lan and three thousand Flying Dragon Riders to set off again!
Thus, Sima Ju's nightmare began again.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan each led 1,500 Flying Dragon Riders, like two hungry wolves, and lagged far behind Sima Ju.

As long as Sima Ju's team relaxes a little or wants to stop to rest, the Flying Dragon Cavalry will suddenly appear and take a big bite!
After such repeated torture, Sima Ju's mentality finally collapsed completely.

Even when he was defeated by Gongsun Zan, he had never collapsed like this.

Gongsun Zan attacked them head-on and defeated them head-on. He lost and could only blame himself for his lack of strength.

But what about Cao Cao? He is a complete old silver coin. He has no moral integrity at all and can do whatever he wants.

There has been no news from Wu Ba and the three thousand cavalrymen who were chased out last night. It is estimated that they are in great danger.

More than three hundred thousand Yellow Turban infantrymen and their families were burned to pieces by the fire and fled in all directions.

I originally wanted to lead the remaining elite troops south,
Now it's fine,

Without cavalry cover,
These infantrymen of our own,

I'm afraid I'll be worn out by these guys who are so good at using all kinds of cavalry tactics...
