After spending a few days of happy days with his parents, master, uncle, grandfather Ao, three wives and little Liu Kun, Ao, and his relaxed time, Ao Lie turned his mind back to expanding the army and preparing for war.

After preliminary work, Xun Yu and other core ministers have distributed some of the recruitment funds to the local government through the Military and Government Affairs Office. The next step is to raise the subsequent recruitment funds at the same time as the first phase of the recruitment. The work of Xun Yu and others can be carried out so smoothly that it is inseparable from the help of money and food provided by Liu Ba. Liu Ba's ability to control the country's economy has been highlighted again.

While preparing for the expansion of the army, Ao Lie asked Zhuge Liang, who had returned to Jizhou, to do a good job in defense of the Central Plains, and sent a large number of shadow members into the Central Plains, scattered in various parts of the Central Plains again to spy on the movements in Cao Cao's army. Because last time, in order to buy time for the army and delay Cao Cao's entry into Jizhou, thousands of shadow members scattered in the Central Plains had been exposed, so Ao Lie could only ask Li Ru to select a group of shadow members again and lurk on Cao Cao's territory for the second time.

When Ao Lie ordered the mobilization of Shadow members, Li Ru mentioned something that surprised Ao Lie. I wonder if you still remember that when Shadow members assassinated fifteen capable ministers under Cao Cao in Xuchang, they happened to be seriously ill at that time, Guo Jia, the first think tank under Cao Cao, was seriously ill and was about to die young. The Shadow members who were assigned by Li Ru to assassinate Guo Jia did not kill Guo Jia at that time, but took Guo Jia, who was seriously ill, out of Xuchang City and handed over to Li Ru and Tian Feng for treatment. After the two decided to take Guo Jia back to Yanjing, and Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were treated in order to make Guo Jia grateful for this and turned to Ao Lie's command.

Of course, if Guo Jia fails to survive the joint treatment of the two miracle doctors, he should be his life; but the reality is that Guo Jia's illness was cured by the two miracle doctors, but Guo Jia was not willing to turn to Ao Lie. Li Ru advised Guo Jia for this reason, but Guo Jia never changed his original intention, but he just promised not to return to Cao Cao's camp to repay Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's life-saving grace, but he refused to join the Northern Han camp. After all the persuasions failed, Li Ru had no choice but to report this matter to Ao Lie, and Ao Lie decided to deal with Guo Jia.

When Ao Lie heard the whole story and learned that the genius Guo Jia was in Yanjing, he immediately felt the desire to meet this genius. Even if he could not recover this genius, at least he would not leave any regrets in Ao Lie's heart. What's more, Ao Lie believed. With Guo Jia's talent, he must have seen the direction of the world's general trend. It is actually not difficult to convince him. The difficult thing is how to overcome psychological obstacles and stand on the opposite side of the old master Cao Cao.

Under the leadership of Li Ru, Ao Lie came to the outside of the room where Guo Jia was temporarily living. After signaling Li Ru to leave temporarily, Ao Lie stretched out his right hand and knocked on the door lightly twice.

In the room, Guo Jia's full of breath showed that his old illness was no longer there: "I said Wenyou, are you still letting people live? I came to harass me every few days. Haven't I promised not to go back to Cao Gong's camp? What else do you want..." When Guo Jia opened the door and saw that Li Ru was not standing outside the door, but Ao Lie. A complex emotion appeared on his face. He looked at Ao Lie for ten breaths, and then said: "It turns out that the Regent is here in person. If the Regent is here to persuade Jia to serve, please don't speak."

Ao Lie chuckled and argued: "Fengxiao guessed correctly. Gu is here to persuade you to serve. If Fengxiao insists on keeping others thousands of miles away, I am afraid your losses will be greater than Gu's losses. Therefore, Guyin Fengxiao should make a decision after listening to Gu's words?" Just kidding, Ao Lie is the authentic successor of the Thirteenth chapter of Guigu, and Zongheng Theory is a perfect practice. How can Guo Jia be beaten back in just a few words?

"Oh? But I don't know what the Regent said just now, where is Jia's loss?" Guo Jia was curious because Ao Lie's routine of playing cards and couldn't help but ask.

Ao Lie smiled and pointed to the room behind Guo Jia, saying, "Don't Fengxiao intend to invite this lobbyist, Gu, to sit in?" Guo Jia turned his body sideways, gave up a road leading into the room, and said, "If you go in, go in, anyway, you are the master, I'm just a prisoner."

Stepping into the room, Ao Lie sat down steadily on a chair, picked up the teapot from the table slowly, poured tea into a teacup slowly, and then put down the teapot. Then he said to Guo Jia: "I heard that Fengxiao is a genius and is known as a genius. I want to ask Fengxiao for advice. Could you tell me something from the tea in front of me?"

Guo Jia snorted disdainfully and said in a deep voice: "The Regent wants to remind me by pouring tea just now, will the grace of water be repaid as a spring? If so, please take back Jia's life."

Ao Lie shook his head and smiled, "I am not the intention of this, but Fengxiao was wrong. Even if I want to take back your life, I am afraid you may not be willing to give it to me. This great river and country, is it really what you say that you can give it up if you can? If you can, then you are not a prodigal son Guo Fengxiao. Fengxiao is a romantic and talented man, and I believe he must have a deep understanding of the tea ceremony. A gentleman drinks tea, which is called tasting, and a scholar drinks tea, which is called drink, but if a reckless man drinks tea, it is only used to quench his thirst and cannot experience the artistic conception of tasting tea. This is the case for tea tasting, and the world is the same. Today, all the vassal kings are all

All the princes disappeared, but Cao Mengde and Gu stood together in the world. One mountain could not accommodate two tigers. Gu and Cao Mengde would have a battle sooner or later to decide who would rule the world. This is like the tea ceremony. Those princes who were destroyed as soon as they appeared were like reckless men and did not know the taste of this fragrant tea in the world. Cao Mengde was slightly better than them. In the troubled times, he survived until now. He can be regarded as a scholar. And the one who is most likely to taste the world is Gu! This is the taste that Gu tasted from the tea water. I wonder if I agree with it?”

Guo Jia frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "You are trying to say that Cao Gong is like a scholar, with great talent, but he will not be able to seize the world in the end because he is not a gentleman. And you, you are governing the country with a gentleman's heart and winning the support and love of the people in the world, so is the person who is most likely to be with the world?"

Ao Lie nodded without hesitation and spit out two words from his mouth: "That's right!"

The initial disdain on Guo Jia's face gradually disappeared invisible, and he sighed with emotion: "Yes, you are indeed doing well in this regard than Cao Gong. So I have no doubt that you have a greater chance of winning in the battle between you and Cao Gong. But what does this have to do with me? I have promised Wenyou that I will not return to Cao Gong's camp. Now I just want to be a free and wild crane. I will just spend my life without restraint."

"You are wrong. I am born with useful talents. Isn't it a pity to learn from Fengxiao and not want to benefit the people? As far as I know, Fengxiao was born in a poor family. In his early years, his family was in a poor place and hungry and cold. Isn't this the situation you want to change? Not only you. Everyone who has suffered wants to change their embarrassment. Since we are born with abilities that ordinary people do not have, we must let our abilities shine and heat, so that more people who are hungry and cold can get out of the predicament. This is the ultimate goal of our practice of literature and martial arts. Do you think?" Ao Lie slowly guided Guo Jia in an orderly manner.

Under Ao Lie's guidance, Guo Jia fell silent. He lowered his head and said nothing, and repeatedly considered Ao Lie's words. Ao Lie did not urge Guo Jia, giving him plenty of time to think.

After a long silence, Guo Jia finally broke the silence. He pointed to his left chest and said to Ao Lie: "What you said is correct. I have lived in Yanjing for a while and have some understanding of the people here. To be honest, you are a wise ruler. It's a pity that my heart is not as broad as you. My place has left the shadow of Cao Gong, and it is difficult to imprint other people's imprints."

Ao Lie stood up, reached out and patted Guo Jia's right chest gently, and said slowly: "Some people's hearts are on the right, Zhang Yide is like this, Cao Mengde is like this. Therefore, nothing in the world is not constant, it can change, but do you have the courage to make changes. What's more, your heart should not belong to someone other than you, but to those who need your help and need you to lead them out of the predicament."

Another silent thought. Guo Jia finally lowered his arm helplessly, looked directly at Ao Lie, and said word by word: "You won. I really can't bear to die, especially after experiencing an infinitely close death. But I have a condition. If you can agree, I will devote myself to you. Together with you, bringing those who want to get out of the predicament and need us to help them get out of the predicament out of the difficulties." In fact, with the repeated persuasion of Li Ru and Guo Jia, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the ice in Guo Jia's heart had already melted. Ao Lie's roundabout way of persuasion today became the last force to break the ice in his heart, and Guo Jia finally opened his heart to Beihan.

Ao Lie showed a comfortable smile and said with a chuckling, "There is no need to say anything about your wishes. I understand your wishes. I will never force you and Mr. Cao to be enemies directly."

Seeing Ao Lie telling what he thought in his heart, Guo Jia smiled relievedly, took two steps back, and bowed to Ao Lie and said, "Since Guo Jia, see the King of Yan."

Halfway through becoming a monk does not mean that he will not achieve amazing achievements. Guo Jia can be said to be the core member who was the last to be under Ao Lie, but he made great contributions to expanding territory in the Northern Han Dynasty and sweeping across the eight deserts and Liuhe Rivers in the future, but he was no less than Zhuge Liang and others. Therefore, later generations placed Guo Jia at the same important position as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, and collectively called them "all-round talents in the ten directions". With Guo Jia's official implementation, all-round talents in the ten directions completed their gathering, and one beautiful story after another was passed down in the future.

PS: PS: Actually, Dakun could have had two updates today, but the network was too weak. It was uploaded from 10:30 to 11:52 and was in a state of failure in uploading. Dakun was so angry that he wanted to cry without tears, and wasted everyone's time again. I'm so sorry.
