Chapter 91: The Tao is different

"Thank you for your hospitality for several days. If you have the fate of Taoist Master going to Central Plains in the future, I will sweep the bed to greet you."

Outside the Heavenly Master Palace, Xun Yu said goodbye to Zuo Ci. He and Zuo Ci were also old acquaintances, and from the bottom of his heart, the other people outside the country were extremely respected. Zuo Ci's ability was obviously not a fake Taoist priest who cheated, but he did have some amazing skills.

Zuo Ci apologized and returned the gift, watching Xun Yu turn around.

"Zi Ji, please accompany Wen Ruo first. I have a few words to say to Taoist Zuo."

Guo Jia first asked Qin Mi to leave, but Xun Yu didn't ask much. He was a guest and consciously went down the mountain along the stairs.

He also walked down the mountain. Guo Jia walked slowly, gradually distanced himself from Xun Yu and Qin Mi. The guards on both sides of the stairs also protected Guo Jia slowly down the mountain.

"Little Grandpa, what do you have to say to the old Taoist?"

Zuo Ci accompanied Guo Jia to the bottom of the mountain.

Looking down at Xun Yu's increasingly distant back, Guo Jia asked in a light voice: "Old Master Zuo, do you see Wen Ruo's life change from that time?"

Zuo Ci has said more than once that Guo Jia can change the fate of the people around him, Xi Zhicai is like this, and Yu Ji comes to join him. Even the Qiao sisters and others, the people around him seem to have a deviation from the direction that should have been destined to be born, and often this ending develops to a better extent.

Even if Zuo Ci and Yu Ji are considered to be destined to be able to see through Guo Jia's impermanence, they will never know the secret buried in Guo Jia's heart.

His emergence, no, should be said to be a subversion of history. The butterfly effect changes the fate of the surrounding characters is the most fundamental reason.

If it weren't for him, Dian Wei might have been alive. Xi Zhicai might have returned to the nine springs. Da Qiao would become a widow in a few years, Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Gao Shun...

Guo Jia is like a whirlpool, sweeping everyone around him into it, a loophole in fate and an existence that is difficult for common sense to understand.

Zuo Ci looked at Xun Yu's far away back, shook his head slightly and said, "The order of Xun Lingjun is the same as before."

Guo Jia stopped and looked down with a very complicated look.

In history, Xun Yu lived to be fifty years old. In this age with a short average lifespan, he was definitely not a short life, and could barely be called a long life.

But what Guo Jia is concerned about is not how long Xun Yu has lived, but how Xun Yu died

If he died, Guo Jia would be happy for him.

However, if he died of a bad life, Guo Jia would never stand by.

There is only one person in the world who can kill Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's Bole, Xun Yu's lord who was loyal to his life: Cao Cao.

If Xun Yu's fate was still a destined fate in history, Guo Jia felt in a mess when he thought of this.

He never believed in coincidence.

Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu, and he had half of the country. Although he was defeated in Chibi, he was basically the surrendered army in Jingzhou. Not only was he still strong, he still expanded his territory and captured a considerable piece of land in northern Jingzhou.

Cao Cao at that time was definitely not the Cao Cao today, nor was he who assassinated Dong alone.

Ambitions cannot be born with people. People who have nothing have ambitions are just the ambitions of small people. People who gradually climb to the peak of power will gradually develop ambitions. History has proved one thing countless times: power is the cradle of ambitions.

Cao Cao would not have thought that he would have the status of wielding the emperor to command the princes today, and Cao Cao would never have thought that he would face a situation where the country was within reach.

As power and strength gradually increase, Cao Cao needs a higher position and needs to create a greater family business. When Cao Cao is already the prime minister and overlord of all officials and holds the power of military and horses, he wants to go further. What else can he do?

What kind of title can satisfy Cao Cao?

No matter what, Cao Cao has gathered military and political power, and he is already a great minister

Going further, it is a great rebellion.

Xun Yu was in the Han Dynasty, so he could not sit still and watch Cao Cao take that step

The former "My Son House" stood opposite Cao Cao. At the same time, Cao Cao used the common people to suppress the gentry and made the gentry resist him one after another. He wanted to suppress the gentry and continue to hold the power firmly in his own hands.

Xun Yu was dead, perhaps history did not explain whether Cao Cao swung his butcher knife, but Xun Yu's death was a heavy blow to the gentry and cleared further obstacles for Cao Cao.

Just the next year after Xun Yu's death.

Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei and finally became the "Caomian" who was comparable to Wang Mang.

If Xun Yu's fate is the same as in history, what can Guo Jia do now?

Do you advise Xun Yu seriously?

What happened, and it happened more than ten years later, how could Guo Jia speak?

Even if he speaks, it is obvious that Guo Jia has ulterior motives. Now Xun Yu is the person Cao Cao respects and trusts the most. In the eyes of outsiders, Cao Cao is holding the emperor's orders to the princes, and in the eyes of loyal ministers such as Xun Yu, he is obeying the emperor's orders and disobedience. Cao Cao is a representative of loyalty, courage and fearlessness.

Before winning the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had to hold his tail together and be a man. After defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had the confidence to show off his power.

It is impossible for Guo Jia to persuade Xun Yu to leave Cao Cao.

Do you keep Xun Yu in Yizhou at the risk of turning against Cao Cao or even going to war?

This is indeed feasible, at least ensuring that Xun Yu will not die at Cao Cao's hands.

However, such an ending was no different for Xun Yu, but his tyrant turned into Guo Jia.

If you lose your ideals and your goal, Xun Yu will live worse than death, and will even be more indignant than not being able to meet your talents.

There is a kind of person who lives for his ideals.

Guo Jia dared not say he was, but he would fight towards his ideals, while Xun Yu was chasing his dreams throughout his life.

If Guo Jia forced Xun Yu to stay in Yizhou, he was trampling on Xun Yu's dignity and ideals, and their friendship would be gone. Xun Yu might live for a long time, but he would only be a walking corpse.

It is better to die well than to live a life of a small person. Guo Jia had the idea of ​​hiding in the mountains and forests for a lifetime. He also admitted that he had many small persons, but Xun Yu was definitely not a small person. He must have a strong obsession with sacrificing his life for righteousness. Therefore, he died a year before Cao Cao was appointed as the Duke of Wei. Whether he killed him or died of illness, Xun Yu must have been discouraged at that time. For a person with dreams, nothing is heavier than a blow to the shattered dream.

"well……"

Guo Jia sighed that Zuo Ci could never guess.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

He and Xun Yu are really different.

Sometimes being able to predict future events is also a heavy psychological burden.

Guo Jia, who is smiling all day long in the eyes of outsiders, also has many worries, and Xun Yu is one.

To prevent Cao Cao from killing Xun Yu, or to curb Cao Cao's ambition, is not an unsolvable problem for Guo Jia.

As long as Cao Cao prevents him from embezzling Hebei and suppressing Cao Cao's strength, even though Cao Cao still has ambitions, he dare not really confer a title of a king on himself. Cao Cao is a smart hero. Before he has no strength, he will not make enemies in the world, nor will he throw away the banner of the emperor himself.

However, Cao Cao's defeat was also a shattering of his ideal for Xun Yu.

Guo Jia thought about it for a long time and finally came to one conclusion.

It turned out that he was not playing against Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and other princes. His real enemy was really going to be eliminated. The Han Dynasty.

He was named Han minister, but actually Han thief.

Which prince in the world is not?

However, Cao Cao was so powerful that he could break up his face to confirm the reputation of the thief. Before he had no such strength, the other princes could only follow the Han Dynasty on the surface, and some were arrogant and overestimated. For example, Yuan Shu, but what would happen? At least now he was already surrounded by enemies.

If Cao Cao had not forced Xun Yu to death, there would always be powerful princes step by step on the road to replace the Han Dynasty. Such an ending would also make Xun Yu feel as if he were to die.

Maybe, one day, this person will be Guo Jia.

"Those who support Han must be buried with him..."

Guo Jia looked up at the sky and said this sentence in great complexity.

If Xun Yu had the ability to turn the tide, if Cao Cao could really be a hero, they would have been famous in history and respected by future generations.

Guo Jia was not sure about anything else, but one thing was very certain: Cao Cao would not hesitate when he had the strength to usurp the country.

There is nothing wrong in the world, and mediocre people disturb them.

The more you think about it, the heavier the more you feel, the more you can't untie the knot, and in the end, even Guo Jia himself has an unknown anger.

"I'm not a god, nor is this a soap opera. Everyone likes the happy ending, but I don't even know where my own destiny will go. How can I control others and be the life screenwriter of others?"

Guo Jia, who lowered his head and muttered to himself, felt relieved.

Don't want to do it anymore.

Things are actually very simple, but he has never been willing to face it.

If the Tao is different, they will not plan for each other. The battle for hegemony between princes is like success, kings and defeats, bandits and Shunchang are defeated. Since ideals are conflicts and oppositions, Guo Jia cannot sacrifice himself, so naturally there is no room for tolerance to others.

When he came down to the mountain, Xun Yu was already waiting by the carriage, waiting for Guo Jia to come and get into the carriage together.

Sitting in the carriage swayingly, Guo Jia whispered: "Wenruo, why not stay in Chengdu for a few more days. My marriage with the Qiao sisters will be on the tenth day of next month. If you are there, they will be happy."

In fact, Guo Jia hopes to be together for more days with Xun Yu. The last time he parted in Luoyang was a full ten years. Today he parted ways. I am afraid no one can guarantee when or whether there will be any other time.

Xun Yu looked calm and said softly: "Since that's the case, I will congratulate you in advance for filial piety. I hope you and the Qiao sisters will grow old together and have a lot of children."

Guo Jia closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Chengdu cannot do without Guo Jia. Without Xi Zhicai, the entire Yizhou will be in a hurry for a while.

If Cao Cao lacks Xun Yu, everything will inevitably go wrong.

Outside Chengdu City, Guo Jia watched Xun Yu's carriage leave at the city gate. Cao Hong rode alone to guard the carriage until it was in the horizon, and Guo Jia was still standing there.

"Master, it's not too early, it's time..."
