Gathering the bracken, gathering the bracken, the shoots are growing. “We must return, we must return,” yet the year is drawing to a close.
No home, no family, because of the Xianyun. No time to rest or settle, because of the Xianyun.
When we set out, the willows swayed; now that we return, snow and sleet whirl down.
The road stretches on. We are thirsty and hungry. My heart is heavy with grief, yet no one knows my sorrow.
I can hardly believe I felt an urge to write a story set in the Three Kingdoms, when the genre has already been done to death.
The plot can be summed up in one sentence: Cao Cao's northern campaign against the Wuhuan, from March of Jian'an 12 through the first month of the following year, ending at Liucheng.
No danmei, no transmigration, no wish fulfillment that changes history. It may be a little angsty.
A very niche subject, a very understated style, and a rather aloof protagonist.
And yet, the person who willfully changes the blurb and title at random says
Across the land, people build platforms and bar the Taihang; their passions and principles contend.
Could such men not rebel? They may not become overlords on a small scale, but on a grand one, would they not be kings?
The overlord's boasts become the cries of a lovesick man; helplessly, he gives voice to his discontent.
He knew there was no point in speaking by the tent, yet surely dividing the incense cannot be called heartless.
(, Zhong Xing, “Song of Ye City”)
Even after finishing the story, I still don't know how to judge all the rights and wrongs.
So all I have done is try, with my feeble pen, to depict a small stretch of war and fire in that chaotic age, singing high and low.
At last, I've finished the epilogue. The reason for the title change is explained there too~ A little self-congratulation (though I'll still go back and fix the mistakes in the earlier chapters).
I also added a very silly extra story... Am I the only one silly enough to put Cao Cao/Guo Jia into a Zhou Yu/Sun Ce fic? OTL

History is wonderful because of the characters who created history, but time never stops at any moment we want to stop at. So today, in front of us, we can only imagine the words written by historians. Only when the author adds flesh and blood and stories can the characters become richer. This is why Mr. Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms" is so popular, because he tells history in a straightforward way and brings to life the grace of those pale characters hidden between the lines. So what we see in front of us is a living person with expressions, eyes, and psychological activities.
In my imagination, Guo Fengxiao was so thoughtful, thinking what others didn't want, plotting what others didn't dare, and scheming in strange ways. He could see through people's hearts at once and was good at using them. Unfortunately, he had a chronic illness, and planning around the clock made him mentally weak and unable to sleep at night, so he died young. But the author brought me such a Guo Jia, with the same ingenuity and handsomeness, but it made me truly feel that he was also so open and honest. This kind of Guo Jia is impressive and desirable, but also makes people feel ashamed and ashamed of themselves. In the past, I always thought that if I had the chance to meet such a person in my life, it would be great. But today, I suddenly thought that if such a person were right in front of me, I would immediately turn around and run away... I'm really not a person of the same level...]
Author's reply:
Hmm... Should I be happy or ashamed?
I'm happy that some people think that Guo Jia in it is "convincing and desirable"... What I'm ashamed of is that I can't help my preference and write him too perfectly... I'm holding my chin :)
Oh, I really want to add that what I wrote about MS is also "I had a chronic illness, and coupled with the day-to-day planning, I was mentally weak and couldn't sleep at night, so I died young"... Sweat

A person like Xun Yu (smoked fish? Sturgeon?~~~>_<) Should have retired to the mountains and forests during such a time. But he was unwilling to give in. People today say that he was trapped within the limitations of history and could not transcend. In addition, Cao Cao became paranoid later, so Mr. Xun had no choice but to die generously. How about this, let's play a super time travel, go to that gentleman, and tell him, there is no way, there is a universal law: productivity determines the ownership of the means of production, and as long as human beings continue to work hard to develop intelligence, brain power, and physical strength, the social system will not continue to move forward. The Han Dynasty, which is sacred in your heart, is now like a grasshopper in autumn - it will not be able to jump for a few days. Don't you see, everyone in the world is now so rich that they are fighting each other, so this time not only will the dynasty be changed, but the country's system will also be changed accordingly. Please open your eyes and see the facts~~
However, I guess he won't listen~~~That person is just stupid~~~If I say this to Fengxiao-san, the effect will be much better
Alas, when it comes to our dear classmate Guo, he is also a grasshopper in autumn~~~~~ Today, classmate Cao is standing at Jieshi and looking at the sea. He is with him. Tomorrow, the only one who will relieve his worries when he has a headache is Du Kang~~~]

In fact, there is no need to say this to Fengxiao-san, haha... (In my setting : P)
And Xun Lingjun... I will also write about my own interpretation of his behavior later... The views of people of that era on the issue of "Shi Jie" may be difficult for people today to understand. I can only imagine, but I can't understand it, sigh. In fact, even his own son, classmate Xun Fengqian, doesn't seem to understand or disagree, haha...

Cao Cry Feng Xiao... Well, I think God is fair, one person gets one, Cao Feng Xiao, Bei Kong Ming, Quan Gong Jin (+ Lu Su... I feel that these two played an equal role in the early days of Soochow~~~) It is a pity that Cao Mengde's luck was spent in the first half of his life. After Feng Xiaoxian passed away, his luck was exhausted. Coupled with the fact that he was confused and his appetite increased during the process of conquering Liu Bei in the south, which made him completely lose the possibility of unifying the country. However, again, God is fair. For a man like Cao Cao, it was no problem for him to lead his troops to occupy territory and conquer the world, but he was not decisive enough to govern and defend the country. At that time, in the social background at that time, there was no reference example before, and there was no one after Fengxiao who could connect with him and have the ability to give him an arm. Cao finally couldn't find the way forward~~~~~So it was not Cao Wei's turn to rule the world.
However, it was these people who, at a time when the world was in chaos and turmoil, set off a national system reform that lasted for generations and hundreds of years. They each opened up their own experimental fields and left countless valuable experiences for future generations. In the end, China finally reached the pinnacle of China's feudal system in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. >_</////]
Author's reply:
Hmm... How to put it, actually, even if I prefer Fengxiao, I don't think his contribution to Cao Wei can be compared with Kong Ming's contribution to Shu, Gong Jin/Zijing's contribution to Wu. Even in Wei, his actual contribution is not as good as Xun Yu, Xun You or even Zhong Yao... It's just because he died too early that I am very sad... The Central Plains has no choice but to win the deer... T T
Let me finish writing my melancholy slowly. I will probably write a postscript or something to express my feelings for classmate Cao Cao in the future. Sweat... = =|||
[Netizen: passante Comment: "Caiwei·Caiwei" Rating: 2 Publication time: 2008-01-30 20:47:31 Chapters reviewed: 17
Let me express my opinion: Fu Zi said: Since Hebei is at peace, more and more famous people from Qing, Ji, You, and other places have been summoned, and gradually ministers have entrusted them with them, thinking that it will save them trouble. It's a good plan for everyone.
Guo Jia was to Cao Cao or Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang was to Shu Han, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su was to Soochow, and they played an equal role in laying the foundation of the country. It was Guo Jia who planned the road for Cao Cao, which enabled Cao Cao to pacify and unify northern China. It laid the foundation for Cao Cao to join Jiangdong Group, Liu and Zhuge Shu Han to establish three parts of the world, and established Cao Cao's ambition to go south to unify all of China. It's a pity that by that time, Fengxiao had passed away. I guess, just like Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, it was Guo Fengxiao who planned Cao Cao's Wei version of the strategy of dividing the world. (I don't know the history, it may be someone else, or there may not be such a thing at all, it's just nonsense)
I think you chose this period of history to write about because this was the most shining moment in Guo Jia's life.
Also, in fact, what I said below is just a joke, and this ridicule is probably insulting to Xun Lingjun, so I take it back. No matter what era people stick to their beliefs, ideals, ambitions, and ambitions, they are admirable and desirable. And Xun ordered you to strictly discipline yourself and not lose yourself in the rolling torrent. The so-called gentleman is magnanimous. Xunjun yearned for him and died generously for his beliefs, and he died without regrets. (Personal understanding, please discuss together)]
Author's reply:
Hmm... For Cao Wei, it was actually very reluctant to divide the world into three parts... Cao Cao started from the place where the Four Wars were fought in the Central Plains. He listened to Xun Yu's words [In the past, the great ancestor protected the pass, and Guangwu occupied Hanoi, both of which were deeply rooted and consolidated to control the world...], And fought tooth and nail to gain a foothold in the Central Plains (of course, I agree with those words. This is basically just for cheering. The topography of Yanzhou and Yuzhou is not the same as that of Guanzhong and Hanoi MS. Personal opinion, personal opinion...), Occupying the territory with the most prosperous talent and culture at that time, and laying the foundation for the unification of Jin... But the later prodigal sons of the Cao family, ahem, I won't talk about it anymore.
It's not that Guo Jia's role in Wei was insignificant. In fact, based on the talent pool of the Cao Wei Group at that time and the time period he worked for, it was already quite astonishing - I feel like he was a catalyst for Cao A's classmate - but he didn't live long enough. T_T
In fact, I chose this time period, of course, partly because Fengxiao shines here~~^^V (Eggplant~~^^V), but maybe more because this time period is like a watershed that makes people "helpless but amidst injustice"... Sigh
Author's reply:
Hehe, as for Xun Lingjun, let me wait until I finish writing... (Well, actually, my feelings are complicated and I can't explain clearly at the moment)
By the way, I like these discussions very much. I wonder if I can put together these opinions (the longer ones of Chapters 17 and 21) and make a long comment? This way you can hang it on the side for easy searching (people with mild typesetting obsessive-compulsive disorder say = =|||)

Well, let me correct my thoughts first. Indeed, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Guandu and the subsequent unification of northern China started with Xun Yu's words, "I obey the emperor's orders and refuse to submit." At that time, among the five great counselors in Cao camp, Xun Lingjun was the first. Guo Jia's first contribution was to pacify Liaodong. (This is just the case because he died too early. If Fengxiao was still there when Cao Cao went south to attack Jingzhou, then history would probably have been rewritten. So I have to sigh, it was destiny.)
Furthermore, I'd better stick to my own opinion: "It established Cao Cao's ambition to go south and unify all of China." Of course, Cao Cao's ambition is to "unify the nine princes and unify the world." In the early days, Cao Cao did not have such great ambitions, and he did not necessarily want to steal the country to unify the world. This is in line with Xun Yu's desired ideal state, and he can serve the Han Dynasty loyally together with him. Later, when Cao Cao sent his army south, or as early as when he destroyed Yuan Shao, his heart slowly began to move, so he later became incompatible with Xun Yu. As for Guo Jia, when he first met Cao Cao, he already knew "(this) true lord". He was the one who understood Cao Cao's thoughts best, so I believe he must know what's going on in Cao Cao's heart: "If I go to the south, I will not come back alive." Feng Xiao knew that once he went to the south, it would be a long and hard battle to gain a foothold there, but he also knew that he did not have the good body to accompany Cao Cao to the end, but he still "discussed the plan with us, and we should decide the situation first. This is not only loyal to see the plan, but also to achieve meritorious service and abandon fate." Because he knew that his master was Cao Cao (who wanted to achieve a hegemony), not the Han Emperor. So I say that at this point, his role is equivalent to that of Zhuge Liang on Shu Han, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su on Soochow.
Well, of course, we still need to correct the original statement of "Cao Wei's version of the three-part world strategy". This strategy is not a strategy. Kong Ming and Zijing really called it a strategy. It is a national development path guideline. And here, Guo Jia should foresee that those who can compete with Cao Cao in the future are Jingzhou and Soochow. If they win, they will unify the world, and if they lose, they will divide the world into three parts in a short time. Based on this situation, he planned how to achieve a complete victory for Cao Cao, rather than targeting three points.
En plus, "There is no choice but injustice", sigh (I also sigh>_<////), peace and injustice are the sighs of future generations, haha. Ahem, I won't say much this time. I'm working on my final design assignment this week, and I have a heartfelt request~~ Don't pay attention to me for now. I will reply again if you reply. But in the next few days, I will definitely put aside the books, pick up my beloved stylus pen, and do my best to complete my rendu final. So, when I finish this time, let's have a good chat again (long talk? Sigh?~~~~)]

No, I still insist on that sentence "It was Guo Jia who planned the long-term strategy and planned the road for Cao Cao, which enabled Cao Cao to pacify and unify northern China, and established Cao Cao's ambition to go south to unify all China." Then he sighed, "It's a pity that time has passed, and filial piety has passed away."
(Before going to sleep, unconscious~~~~= =) ]
As requested, I cannot respond to this paragraph for the time being... I can bear it, I can bear it... I will return to it later = =|||
Author's reply:
Why did the post become so long... The author's reply in Hitting the Wall:
A few words here:
Regarding Guo Jia, I think it is correct to "establish Cao Cao's ambition to go south and unify all of China." I feel that Guo Jia's strategy is aggressive with certain risks (carefully calculated of course).
Cao Cao said at the time, "This is the person who can make a great businessman out of his own way." I think it means firstly, the above meaning, and secondly, it may also be because Cao and Guo both have a common contempt for tradition/authority/mandate of destiny... These things. Of course, this sentence was written by Chen Shou, and it may only represent Chen Shou's views, but it also echoes Fu Xuan's statement. (As a side note, I think the reference value of "Fu Zi" is quite worthy of recognition. After all, Fu Xuan once participated in the official history book, and as a person who is traditionally a member of the Wei Kingdom, his actual contact with first- and second-hand Wei historical materials may be better than that of Chen Shou... In addition, MS Fu Xuan's character and literature are much better than those of Wang Shen)
Well, regarding Xun Yu, I think he understood Cao Cao's ambitions from beginning to end, and also understood the consequences of his actions. To quote Du Mu:
[Xun Wenruo chose Yanzhou for his painting, which was higher than that of Guanzhong and Hanoi. He refused to give up Guandu, which was higher than that of Chu and Han Chenggao. All plans and comparisons are made with the promise of the emperor and the payment within the country. After all the work is done, if you want to be famous in the Han Dynasty, can you be loyal if you commit yourself to it? ...]
Except for the "invite name" part, I actually fully agree with this. Although Sima Guang said that those specific words were made up by historians, and Xun Wenruo may not have really been metaphorical at the time; but firstly, Chen Shou's recommendation of Xunyu would not deliberately make it up like this, and secondly, Xunyu's wisdom could not fail to see the inevitable consequences of these actions. But I don't think there is any need for Xun Yu to "invite names" haha... Rather than saying that he wants to invite names, it is better to say that he is stubborn about himself (not the situation). I have already written it in... : P
No, I still insist on that sentence "It was Guo Jia who planned the long-term strategy and planned the road for Cao Cao, which enabled Cao Cao to pacify and unify northern China, and established Cao Cao's ambition to go south to unify all China." Then he sighed, "It's a pity that time has passed, and filial piety has passed away."

As for Guo Jia, when he first met Cao Cao, he already knew "(this) true lord". He was the one who understood Cao Cao's thoughts best, so I believe he must know what was going on in Cao Cao's heart: "If I go south, I will not survive." Fengxiao knew this. Once he went south, it would be a long and hard battle to gain a foothold there. , But he also knew that he did not have the good body to accompany Cao Cao to the end, but he still "discussed the plan with the others, and the clouds should be decided first.

Fengxiao was born fifteen years later than Mengde, and it was fifteen years later that I read this article.
The author's textual research is excellent, no less than any CNKI paper. It's hard to believe that there are so many classical Chinese parts, but I, a science student, had the patience to read them word for word. This shows that DaDa's writing skills are superb.
This is the most non-trivial ancient style article I have ever read. It is very rigorous. It is hard to imagine that modern people can write such an article.
Looking forward to my wife's next work (although it is unlikely) Love Comes from 2023
This is the best Cao Guo article I have ever seen
The author's literary talent is really good~ (Xingxingyan), the article quotes classics, and the plot is delicate and touching. Part of it is a passage about Cao Guo's acquaintance, which makes people sigh when reading it.
I like it so much I don't know what to say OTL
Could you please apply for reprinting of this article?
Such a beautiful image of Gongda, it's so cute to me! I really didn't expect to see such a beautiful article about Xun You. Thank you to the author!
The Five Lakes of Hengchuo is one of our introductory articles... Ceyu is great! Hum!

Even in Wei, his actual contribution is not as good as Xun Yu, Xun You or even Zhong Yao... It's just because he died too early that I am very sad... The Central Plains has no choice but to win the deer... T T Let me finish writing my melancholy slowly. I will probably write a postscript or something to express my feelings for classmate Cao Cao in the future. Sweat... = =||| [Netizen: passante Comment: "Caiwei·Caiwei" Rating: 2 Publication time: 2008-01-30 20:47:31 Chapters reviewed: 17 Let me express my opinion: Fu Zi said: Since Hebei is at peace, more and more famous people from Qing, Ji, You, and other places have been summoned, and gradually ministers have entrusted them with them, thinking that it will save them trouble. It's a good plan for everyone. Guo Jia was to Cao Cao or Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang was to Shu Han, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su was to Soochow, and they played an equal role in laying the foundation of the country. It was Guo Jia who planned the road for Cao Cao, which enabled Cao Cao to pacify and unify northern China. It laid the foundation for Cao Cao to join Jiangdong Group, Liu and Zhuge Shu Han to establish three parts of the world, and established Cao Cao's ambition to go south to unify all of China. It's a pity that by that time, Fengxiao had passed away. I guess, just like Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, it was Guo Fengxiao who planned Cao Cao's Wei version of the strategy of dividing the world. (I don't know the history, it may be someone else, or there may not be such a thing at all, it's just nonsense) I think you chose this period of history to write about because this was the most shining moment in Guo Jia's life. Also, in fact, what I said below is just a joke, and this ridicule is probably insulting to Xun Lingjun, so I take it back. No matter what era people stick to their beliefs, ideals, ambitions, and ambitions, they are admirable and desirable. And Xun ordered you to strictly discipline yourself and not lose yourself in the rolling torrent. The so-called gentleman is magnanimous. Xunjun yearned for him and died generously for his beliefs, and he died without regrets. (Personal understanding, please discuss together)] Author's reply: Hmm... For Cao Wei, it was actually very reluctant to divide the world into three parts... Cao Cao started from the place where the Four Wars were fought in the Central Plains. He listened to Xun Yu's words [In the past, the great ancestor protected the pass, and Guangwu occupied Hanoi, both of which were deeply rooted and consolidated to control the world...], And fought tooth and nail to gain a foothold in the Central Plains (of course, I agree with those words. This is basically just for cheering. The topography of Yanzhou and Yuzhou is not the same as that of Guanzhong and Hanoi MS. Personal opinion, personal opinion...), Occupying the territory with the most prosperous talent and culture at that time, and laying the foundation for the unification of Jin... But the later prodigal sons of the Cao family, ahem, I won't talk about it anymore. It's not that Guo Jia's role in Wei was insignificant. In fact, based on the talent pool of the Cao Wei Group at that time and the time period he worked for, it was already quite astonishing - I feel like he was a catalyst for Cao A's classmate - but he didn't live long enough. T_T In fact, I chose this time period, of course, partly because Fengxiao shines here~~^^V (Eggplant~~^^V), but maybe more because this time period is like a watershed that makes people "helpless but amidst injustice"... Sigh Author's reply: Hehe, as for Xun Lingjun, let me wait until I finish writing... (Well, actually, my feelings are complicated and I can't explain clearly at the moment) By the way, I like these discussions very much. I wonder if I can put together these opinions (the longer ones of Chapters 17 and 21) and make a long comment? This way you can hang it on the side for easy searching (people with mild typesetting obsessive-compulsive disorder say = =|||) [Netizen: passante Comment: "Caiwei·Caiwei" Rating: 2 Publication time: 2008-01-31 10:17:43 Chapters reviewed: 17 Well, let me correct my thoughts first. Indeed, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Guandu and the subsequent unification of northern China started with Xun Yu's words, "I obey the emperor's orders and refuse to submit." At that time, among the five great counselors in Cao camp, Xun Lingjun was the first. Guo Jia's first contribution was to pacify Liaodong. (This is just the case because he died too early. If Fengxiao was still there when Cao Cao went south to attack Jingzhou, then history would probably have been rewritten. So I have to sigh, it was destiny.) Furthermore, I'd better stick to my own opinion: "It established Cao Cao's ambition to go south and unify all of China." Of course, Cao Cao's ambition is to "unify the nine princes and unify the world." In the early days, Cao Cao did not have such great ambitions, and he did not necessarily want to steal the country to unify the world. This is in line with Xun Yu's desired ideal state, and he can serve the Han Dynasty loyally together with him. Later, when Cao Cao sent his army south, or as early as when he destroyed Yuan Shao, his heart slowly began to move, so he later became incompatible with Xun Yu. As for Guo Jia, when he first met Cao Cao, he already knew "(this) true lord". He was the one who understood Cao Cao's thoughts best, so I believe he must know what's going on in Cao Cao's heart: "If I go to the south, I will not come back alive." Feng Xiao knew that once he went to the south, it would be a long and hard battle to gain a foothold there, but he also knew that he did not have the good body to accompany Cao Cao to the end, but he still "discussed the plan with us, and we should decide the situation first. This is not only loyal to see the plan, but also to achieve meritorious service and abandon fate." Because he knew that his master was Cao Cao (who wanted to achieve a hegemony), not the Han Emperor. So I say that at this point, his role is equivalent to that of Zhuge Liang on Shu Han, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su on Soochow. Well, of course, we still need to correct the original statement of "Cao Wei's version of the three-part world strategy". This strategy is not a strategy. Kong Ming and Zijing really called it a strategy. It is a national development path guideline. And here, Guo Jia should foresee that those who can compete with Cao Cao in the future are Jingzhou and Soochow. If they win, they will unify the world, and if they lose, they will divide the world into three parts in a short time. Based on this situation, he planned how to achieve a complete victory for Cao Cao, rather than targeting three points. En plus, "There is no choice but injustice", sigh (I also sigh>_<////), peace and injustice are the sighs of future generations, haha. Ahem, I won't say much this time. I'm working on my final design assignment this week, and I have a heartfelt request~~ Don't pay attention to me for now. I will reply again if you reply. But in the next few days, I will definitely put aside the books, pick up my beloved stylus pen, and do my best to complete my rendu final. So, when I finish this time, let's have a good chat again (long talk? Sigh?~~~~)] [Netizen: passante Comment: "Caiwei·Caiwei" Rating: 0 Publication time: 2008-01-31 11:22:37 Chapters reviewed: 17 No, I still insist on that sentence "It was Guo Jia who planned the long-term strategy and planned the road for Cao Cao, which enabled Cao Cao to pacify and unify northern China, and established Cao Cao's ambition to go south to unify all China." Then he sighed, "It's a pity that time has passed, and filial piety has passed away." (Before going to sleep, unconscious~~~~= =) ] As requested, I cannot respond to this paragraph for the time being... I can bear it, I can bear it... I will return to it later = =||| Author's reply: Why did the post become so long... The author's reply in Hitting the Wall: A few words here: Regarding Guo Jia, I think it is correct to "establish Cao Cao's ambition to go south and unify all of China." I feel that Guo Jia's strategy is aggressive with certain risks (carefully calculated of course). Cao Cao said at the time, "This is the person who can make a great businessman out of his own way." I think it means firstly, the above meaning, and secondly, it may also be because Cao and Guo both have a common contempt for tradition/authority/mandate of destiny... These things. Of course, this sentence was written by Chen Shou, and it may only represent Chen Shou's views, but it also echoes Fu Xuan's statement. (As a side note, I think the reference value of "Fu Zi" is quite worthy of recognition. After all, Fu Xuan once participated in the official history book, and as a person who is traditionally a member of the Wei Kingdom, his actual contact with first- and second-hand Wei historical materials may be better than that of Chen Shou... In addition, MS Fu Xuan's character and literature are much better than those of Wang Shen) Well, regarding Xun Yu, I think he understood Cao Cao's ambitions from beginning to end, and also understood the consequences of his actions. To quote Du Mu: [Xun Wenruo chose Yanzhou for his painting, which was higher than that of Guanzhong and Hanoi. He refused to give up Guandu, which was higher than that of Chu and Han Chenggao. All plans and comparisons are made with the promise of the emperor and the payment within the country. After all the work is done, if you want to be famous in the Han Dynasty, can you be loyal if you commit yourself to it? ...] Except for the "invite name" part, I actually fully agree with this. Although Sima Guang said that those specific words were made up by historians, and Xun Wenruo may not have really been metaphorical at the time; but firstly, Chen Shou's recommendation of Xunyu would not deliberately make it up like this, and secondly, Xunyu's wisdom could not fail to see the inevitable consequences of these actions. But I don't think there is any need for Xun Yu to "invite names" haha... Rather than saying that he wants to invite names, it is better to say that he is stubborn about himself (not the situation). I have already written it in... : P
No, I still insist on that sentence "It was Guo Jia who planned the long-term strategy and planned the road for Cao Cao, which enabled Cao Cao to pacify and unify northern China, and established Cao Cao's ambition to go south to unify all China."

As for Guo Jia, when he first met Cao Cao, he already knew "(this) true lord". He was the one who understood Cao Cao's thoughts best, so I believe he must know what was going on in Cao Cao's heart: "If I go south, I will not survive." Fengxiao knew this. Once he went south, it would be a long and hard battle to gain a foothold there. , But he also knew that he did not have the good body to accompany Cao Cao to the end, but he still "discussed the plan with the others, and the clouds should be decided first.

So, when I finish this time, we can have a good chat again (long talk? Sigh?~~~~) Also, regarding my speech, it's up to you to do whatever you want. Let me give you a suggestion, the layout must be photographed so that you and I can understand each other carefully~~ Oops, I won't say it anymore, it's three o'clock at night~~~~>_</// (The drawings are overwhelming, and the models are flying everywhere~~~~~)
Cao Cry Feng Xiao... Well, I think God is fair, one person gets one, Cao Feng Xiao, Bei Kong Ming, Quan Gong Jin (+ Lu Su... I feel that these two played an equal role in the early days of Soochow~~~) It is a pity that Cao Mengde's luck was spent in the first half of his life. After Feng Xiaoxian passed away, his luck was exhausted. Coupled with the fact that he was confused and his appetite increased during the process of conquering Liu Bei in the south, which made him completely lose the possibility of unifying the country. However, again, God is fair. For a man like Cao Cao, it was no problem for him to lead his troops to occupy territory and conquer the world, but he was not decisive enough to govern and defend the country. At that time, in the social background at that time, there was no reference example before, and there was no one after Fengxiao who could connect with him and have the ability to give him an arm. Cao finally couldn't find the way forward~~~~~So it was not Cao Wei's turn to rule the world. However, it was these people who, at a time when the world was in chaos and turmoil, set off a national system reform that lasted for generations and hundreds of years. They each opened up their own experimental fields and left countless valuable experiences for future generations. In the end, China finally reached the pinnacle of China's feudal system in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. >_</////Author's reply: Hmm...

Fengxiao was born fifteen years later than Mengde, and it was fifteen years later that I read this article. The author's textual research is excellent, no less than any CNKI paper. It's hard to believe that there are so many classical Chinese parts, but I, a science student, had the patience to read them word for word. This shows that DaDa's writing skills are superb. This is the most non-trivial ancient style article I have ever read. It is very rigorous. It is hard to imagine that modern people can write such an article. Looking forward to my wife's next work (although it is unlikely) Love Comes from 2023
This is the best Cao Guo article I have ever seen
The author's literary talent is really good~ (Xingxingyan), the article quotes classics, and the plot is delicate and touching. Part of it is a passage about Cao Guo's acquaintance, which makes people sigh when reading it.
I like it so much I don't know what to say OTL Could you please apply for reprinting of this article?
Such a beautiful image of Gongda, it's so cute to me! I really didn't expect to see such a beautiful article about Xun You. Thank you to the author!
The Five Lakes of Hengchuo is one of our introductory articles... Ceyu is great! Hum!
