Chapter 0054 Guo Jia's Choice

When Yuan Shao heard that Xun You and Guo Jia were outstanding in talent and knowledgeable, and wanted to recruit them, he held a banquet in the provincial governor's mansion. In addition, Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Ju Su, Tian Feng and others were accompanied.

Although Xun You is the nephew of Xun Chen and Xun You, he is far older than these two uncles and is now thirty-four. Compared with him, Guo Jia, who has just turned 21, looks particularly young.

When Yuan Shao saw the two, he saw that Guo Jia was too young and felt dissatisfied with contempt. In addition, Guo Jia just bowed to him and refused to bow to him, which made him even more displeased. During the banquet, Yuan Shao talked and laughed with Xun You, but ignored Guo Jia, who was sitting aside, and regarded him as a transparent person.

After drinking for three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Guo Jia, who was neglected, stood up, bowed to Yuan Shao, and said politely: "Marquis of Weixiang, thank you for the banquet, but Jia is unable to drink, so he said goodbye!" After that, without waiting for Yuan Shao to react, he turned around and walked out of the lobby.

Seeing that Yuan Shao valued him quite well, Xun You planned to chat with him for a while, but when he saw Guo Jia get up and leave, he quickly sued Yuan Shao and followed him to chase him out.

After Xun You caught up with Guo Jia outside the door, he said to him in a reproachful tone: "Fengxiao, the Marquis of the Binxiang held a banquet to entertain you and me. Now the banquet has not yet ended, why do you leave the table?"

Guo Jia did not give any answer to Xun You's question, but just kept sneering.

The two of them got on the carriage waiting here outside the mansion. As soon as they got on the car, Xun You saw something was wrong with Guo Jia. He looked back against the side wall, with a painful face. He quickly grabbed his arm and asked nervously: "Fengxiao, what's wrong with you?"

Guo Jia tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his face and said, "Maybe he had just caught a cold, and he was feeling uncomfortable all over at this moment."

Xun You reached out to his forehead, and it was hot and hot. He hurriedly ordered the groom: "Hurry, come back home quickly!"

Fortunately, the place where Xun You lived was not far from the Palace Palace. Not long after, the carriage returned to the mansion. Xun You leaned over and shouted at the servants standing outside the door: "Mr. Guo is sick, come and help!"

The servants rushed over and helped Guo Jia out of the car with all their might. Xun You ordered: "Take Mr. Guo back to his room; go and invite a doctor to come back to treat him... Be careful when you enter the door, don't let Mr. Guo bump into him..."

After some chaos, Guo Jia was carried by his servants and put him into his room. Xun You sat next to his couch and asked worriedly: "Fengxiao, how do you feel now?"

Guo Jia looked at Xun You and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, Brother Gongda, I'm an old problem, I'll just have two days off."

When Xun You heard Guo Jia say that it was just an old problem, he felt a little at ease. He then asked, "Wang Xiao, my brother, is the intention of visiting the Marquis of the Binxiang today. It seems to be a sign of attracting you and me. What do you think about this?"

After Guo Jia and Xun You finished speaking, they snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "A wise man is careful to measure the master, so he can achieve success in all kinds of achievements and fame. Yuan Gongtu wanted to be a subordinate of Duke Zhou, but he did not know the opportunity to use people. He had many problems, was fond of plans but had no decisions, and wanted to help the world with great difficulties, and it was difficult to determine the cause of overlords!"

After hearing Guo Jia's comments on Yuan Shao, Xun You opened his mouth tightly. Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard his wife's voice coming from behind him: "Husband, I have a letter sent by my uncle here."

"Uncle's letter?" Xun You heard his wife say this and quickly ordered: "Let me show it!"

After seeing Xun Yu's letter, Xun You said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, my uncle has compiled a letter and asked you and me to take your family to Sheguo County and assist Sheguo Ling with him." After that, he handed the letter in his hand to Guo Jia.

After reading the contents of the letter, Guo Jia, who was lying on the couch, said with a serious expression: "According to what Ling Shu said in the letter, he planned to let you and me go to Sheguo County to assist Han Fu's son and achieve a hegemony."

"Brother Wei thinks so too." Xun You said with concern: "My uncle can't even defend the huge Jizhou foundation. My cousin is only seventeen years old. Can he turn the tide? I think..."

Before he could finish his words, a servant ran in outside and hurriedly said to him: "The doctor is here!"

"Hurry and invite me!" When he heard that the doctor was coming, Xun You quickly stood up and instructed the servants: "Hurry and invite the doctor in to treat Mr. Guo." He was thinking about Guo Jia's condition and forgot to continue saying what he had not finished afterwards.

The elderly doctor carrying Qingnang bag walked into Guo Jia's room under the guidance of his servants. He walked to the couch, placed Qingnang aside, squatted down, and reached out to take Guo Jia's pulse.

"Husband, let's go out first," Mrs. Xun said in a low voice: "Don't disturb the doctor's diagnosis and treatment."

Xun You nodded, followed his wife away from Guo Jia's room and came to the yard.

After taking a look at the open door, Mrs. Xun asked Xun You in a low voice: "Husband, what Mr. Guo said just now, I don't understand at all."

Regarding the wife's question, Xun You lowered his voice and replied: "Fengxiao told me: A wise man can measure his master carefully and thoughtfully, so he can make a name for himself. Gong Yuan only wants to imitate Zhou Gong's courtesy of wise men, but he does not know the principles of using talents. He has a lot of thoughts but lacks the key points, likes to plan but does not make decisions, and wants to work with him to save the country's danger and build a great cause of dominance. He means to tell me that Yuan Shao is not a wise master, not my best choice."

"My uncle wrote to us to go to Sheguo County to assist my cousin." Mrs. Xun immediately asked, "Then will we go?"

"Nuncle now fled to Chenliu and went to Zhang Miao alone, leaving his family in Jizhou." Xun You said thoughtfully: "It is not a long-term solution for us to stay in Jizhou again. Liu Yusu, the governor of Youzhou, has a reputation as a virtuous person. I plan to discuss with Fengxiao to see if we should go to Liu Youzhou."

After about a stick of incense, the doctor walked out of the house. Xun You hurriedly came up and asked, "Doctor, don't you know how Fengxiao is?"

"Mr. I occasionally feel the cold. As long as I take the decoction I prescribed for him, I will be cured in three to five days." But," said the old doctor, shook his head and said in a regretful tone: "He is too weak. If he doesn't take care of himself, he may not be able to survive forty."

After seeing off the doctor, Xun You arranged for the servants to decoct medicine, and then returned to the room alone, squatted beside Guo Jia, briefly talked about his condition, comforted Guo Jia a few words, he expressed his thoughts in the yard and sought Guo Jia's opinions.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head and said to him with a wry smile: "Although Liu Yu is famous, he is too weak. He will sooner or later be replaced by Gongsun Zan. Youzhou, it's better not to go!"

"Fengxiao," Seeing that Guo Jia refused his proposal to go to Youzhou without hesitation, he asked tentatively: "Do you really want to go to Sheguo County and help my uncle and cousin?"

"Your uncle Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Yu are all not wise masters." Guo Jia said carefully: "Since your uncle admires your cousin so much in the letter, it aroused my curiosity. In order to find out what kind of person he is, I think it is necessary to go to Sheguo County. Brother Gongda, are you willing to go with me?"

"Fengxiao, since your idea has been decided." Seeing that Guo Jia had already made up his mind, Xun You, who knew his personality, knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he could only say helplessly: "Then I will accompany you to Sheguo County for a walk, but before that, you must take care of your body. This time, it is hundreds of miles away to Sheguo County, and I am worried that your body will not be able to bear it."

"Brother Gongda, don't worry, I know what my health is." Guo Jia said firmly: "You can ask your family to pack up overnight and come out when dawn."

"Ah, so anxious?" Xun You said with some surprise: "Don't you wait until your body is well prepared before leaving?"

"Can't wait any longer," Seeing that Xun You didn't want to leave as soon as possible, Guo Jia explained to him: "Be careful that there are many dreams in the night. If Yuan ordered someone to arrest us, even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to leave."
