"Human beings are not grass and trees, how can we call them ruthless? His act of filial piety can be regarded as equal to that of Su Wu! After Su Wu returned home, he still wanted to redeem the son he had with a Xiongnu woman with gold and silk."

"Xian Xian is just unable to control himself for a moment, so how can he laugh at it?"

As he spoke, Sima Yi looked at the city wall behind him.

It was already approaching dawn and the night was getting darker.

The majestic outline of Huguan gives people a sense of oppression.

"If there were no filial piety, how could I easily have this party's portal in my hands without spending a single soldier?"

When Guo Xun heard Sima Yi's words, he felt that they were just ironing out.

However, I thought that after today, my name will be bound to Huguan and resound throughout Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

He couldn't help but feel a little angry:

"This is not all my fault, but also Wei Yan's help!"

"Hahaha!"

This was so well said that Sima Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Wei Yan is brave if he is brave, but he is just a warrior. How can he know how to be a commander?"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh:

"When I look at Western thieves, they are just like those who got lucky and suddenly got rich. They have only superficial wealth but no real foundation."

"Wei Yan is just one of Liu Bei's plays. He was awarded the title of Marquis for his bravery and meritorious service."

"He thought that he could guard the Central Plains after guarding Hanzhong for many years and resisting the great power of Wei Tianwei. Little did he know that the difference between Hanzhong and the Central Plains is so huge?"

When Liu Bei and Emperor Wu fought for Hanzhong, the people of Hanzhong had been moved away by Emperor Wu, leaving only a blank land for Liu Bei.

Wei Yan only had to lead his troops to guard the various passes in Hanzhong.

But can it be the same in places like Hedong Shangdang?

In the land of three rivers, only Hedong has experienced the least wars and the largest population and families over the years.

The land of Shangdang is closed on all sides, overlooking the Central Plains, and has not been cleansed by Feng Thief. The local wealthy families have intricate relationships.

Did Wei Yan really think that guarding these two places was the same as guarding Hanzhong?

Guo Xun nodded, approvingly, and then mocked:

"Wei Yan is a martial artist with a proud temperament, does not know his own shortcomings, has no roots and no foundation, yet he wants to compete with Feng Thief. How arrogant is that?"

"Think about the Liu family, but they don't know how to appoint people according to their talents, and they are short-sighted. They actually force Wei Yan to check and balance the Feng thief. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"Xiao Xian's words are very true!"

Sima Yi greatly agreed, and then probably thought of the relationship between himself and Cao Shuang.

It is probably the emperor's instinct to let his ministers check and balance each other.

Sima Yi sighed slightly:

"According to this, the Western thief Liu family is just a suddenly rich family compared with the Wei Dynasty. How can it be compared with the aristocratic family?"

"Therefore, Yun Zuo should not last long. It is a pity that Zhuge Liang assisted him in front of him and Feng Yongyizan came behind him."

"Both of them are prodigies of their time, and they both came from the same family and have noble backgrounds. Alas, how lucky the Liu family is!"

Mentioning Feng Yong, Guo Xun groaned and had no answer.

What he told Wei Yan about his life experience was indeed true and there were no lies.

But some of the most important things remain unsaid.

That is, he and Cao Rui's concubine, Mrs. Guo, came from the Guo family in Xiping together.

The Guo family in Xiping has been a wealthy family in Xiping for generations, but over the years, their fate has been miserable.

During the early years of the Huang Dynasty (that is, when Cao Pi was in power), he participated in the rebellion against Cao Wei and was implicated, and the Guo family was therefore admitted to the palace.

After Cao Rui ascended the throne, instead of making his main concubine Yu as his queen, he made his concubine Mao as his queen.

The Yu family had a grudge, and in order to win Mao's favor, they specially selected the young and beautiful Guo family and sent them to Cao Rui.

As expected, Cao Rui gradually became less interested in Empress Mao and began to favor Guo.

The Guo family also revived as a result.

Unexpectedly, not long after, after capturing Longyou, the Western bandits also captured Xiping County in Longxi.

Cao Zhen planned to retake Longyou, and the Guo family responded by rebelling in Xiping. Unexpectedly, the battle at Xiaoguan made Feng a famous general.

After the Battle of Xiaoguan, the Guo family in Xiping naturally could not escape liquidation.

As for the third time, it was someone Feng who carried out the suppression of rebellion within the Xinghan Society, and the direct lineage of the Guo family in Xiping participated again.

As the saying goes, once can never happen again, the direct lineage of the Guo family was finally wiped out by Zhao Sanqian.

As a survivor, Guo Xun already hated Ji Han to his core, so how could he possibly work for Ji Han?

So when he heard the surname Feng, his face naturally turned ugly.

Sima Yi knew what he was thinking, and seeing Guo Xun's expression, he wisely did not continue on this topic, but changed the topic:

"Xiao Xian, this time, can be regarded as a lesson to the Liu family, letting them know that this world belongs to our aristocratic family."

"Without the support of aristocratic families, the Liu family would not be able to survive for a long time even if they relied on those warriors and untouchables to thrive for a while."

"Given time, the Liu family will eventually realize that killing a large family like ours easily is an act against nature. When the time comes, it will also give Xiaoxian a bad breath."

Guo Xun smiled bitterly:

"Taifu, how about this Liu family? This is what people like Taifu and the Dukes who are planning major events in the world should want to do."

"And I," Guo Xun pointed at himself, "just want to promote my Guo family."

"Don't worry." Sima Yi consoled him, "After today, Xiaoxian's fame will definitely shake Xuchang."

"By then, Cao Shuang, no matter how much he is deceived by the Taichung Three Dogs and others, should know that the Guo family is Wei Zhonglie."

"Ha!" Guo Xun sneered when he mentioned Xuchang, "Cao Shuang and others dare to put the Queen Mother under house arrest, but I no longer have any hope for them."

After Mrs. Guo gained favor, Cao Rui began to hate Queen Qi Mao more and more.

Finally, when he was seriously ill, Cao Rui simply used Queen Mao to inquire about his condition as an excuse to have Queen Mao killed.

According to historical trends, Cao Rui should make Mrs. Guo his queen.

It's a pity that history was tampered with indiscriminately because of the intrusion of a certain country bumpkin.

Before Cao Rui died, in order to win over the Hanoi Yu family, he wanted to put a thorn in the back of the Sima family, who was also a Hanoi family, and made the original concubine Yu Guifei his queen.

This arrangement would have been excellent.

But if you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs.

General Cao Shuang, in order to monopolize power and prevent Yu from interfering with his power in the name of the Queen Mother, forced Yu to move to another palace and put her under house arrest.

The Guo family was also implicated because of their relationship with the Yu family.

After all, Mrs. Yu was also the empress dowager, so Cao Shuang didn't dare do anything.

Guo is just a wife, how can she be taken seriously by Cao Shuang?

After all, Cao Shuang dared to sleep with the talents left by Cao Rui, and even selected several of them to live in his house.

Guo's fate was to be relegated to the cold palace and live in poverty.

With Cao Shuang's wise operation and Sima Taifu's wooing, the Yu family and the Guo family naturally fell into the arms of Luoyang without hesitation.

Guo Xun looked at Sima Yi and said seriously:

"If one day, the Grand Tutor can get rid of the villains in the court, rectify the origins, revitalize the court, and follow the wishes of Jiwei!"

When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes flashed, he laughed, and did not answer directly:

"The most important thing at the moment is to pacify the Shangdang, defend Heluo, and deter the Western thieves. The words of filial piety should be discussed in detail later when we have time."

Guo Xun was a little disappointed, but he also knew the Taifu's concerns, so he wisely stopped talking and suggested:

"The place where the Shangdang is located is Huguan, where the eldest son is the most important. Now that Huguan has become the Grand Tutor, we should quickly collect the eldest son before the thief can react."

Sima Yi nodded: "What Xiaoxian said is true. Come on!"

"Master?"

"Send an order to let the soldiers rest where they are until dawn. After breakfast, they will immediately go south along the Zhuozhang River to recover the eldest son!"

"Here!"

Guo Xun laughed and said:

"The eldest son is connected to Huguan by water, so it is easy to march. He will definitely fall into the hands of the Taifu! The eldest son is certain, and Wei Yan's way back is cut off, so he can only flee westward. By then, all Shangdang will be restored to the Wei Dynasty."

"Congratulations, Master!"

Sima Yi laughed loudly and held Guo Xun's hand: "This is Xiaoxian's contribution, not my contribution!"
Chapter completed!
