at the same time.

Guo Jia naturally noticed Wu Liang, especially when he heard Cao Chun call Wu Liang that way, a hint of interest appeared on his pale face, and he began to look up and down to observe Wu Liang carefully.

"Brother Zi and brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Seeing that your face is glowing now, you must have been eating well and sleeping well recently."

Wu Liang temporarily withdrew his gaze and saluted Cao Chun.

"Hahaha, what Wu Taishi said is that there has been no war recently and it is the Three Dynasties Festival. My bones are almost rusty. How can I not eat well or sleep well?"

After Cao Chun laughed twice and exchanged greetings with Wu Liang, he immediately saluted Guo Jia, who also came to the door, and said with a smile, "Guo Jijiu, you came just in time, I am waiting for you."

"General Cao, please lead the way."

Guo Jia was a little different than Wu Liangsheng. He returned the gift in a formal manner and said seriously.

"You two come together, please come this way."

Cao Chun nodded slightly and made an invitation gesture to the two of them. After the two of them entered the courtyard, he walked in front to guide them.

During this period, Guo Jia was still looking at Wu Liang.

Obviously he had heard Wu Liang's name and deeds before Wu Liang came back. It's hard to say how much he had heard. After all, many of the things Wu Liang did were not visible to the public. Apart from Boss Cao, other people like Wu Liang

Cao Ang and Cao Zhen, who had been to the tomb together, knew a little bit about it, but they would definitely not tell Guo Jia about these things. All he could hear were those achievements that Boss Cao had openly commended in public.

on the other hand.

Wu Liang was not sure whether Guo Jia was a little afraid of society or had some opinions about him. If it were anyone else, walking side by side at this moment, he would probably have taken the initiative to greet Wu Liang, but Guo Jia always just used his peripheral vision.

Looking at him, he showed no intention of taking the initiative to greet him.

But Wu Liang had no extra thoughts. Since Guo Jia didn't take the initiative to say hello, he did.

"This Guo Jijiu, I guess he is Guo Fengxiao, who is both wise and talented, right?"

Wu Liang turned around and gave a salute and said with a smile, "I happened to meet General Zang Bazang when I was passing through Tan County a few days ago. At that time, General Zang mentioned to me the deeds of Guo Jijiu. I am glad to meet you."

"Oh? I wonder what stories Wu Taishi has heard of me?"

Guo Jia did not return the gift, but turned his head and frowned slightly.

Or is he an unsophisticated bastard?

Of course, it is also possible that he was suddenly favored by Boss Cao and has received a lot of criticism recently, so he is a little sensitive.

After all, before this, Guo Jia did not have any deeds worth mentioning, and based on the implicit meaning of Zang Ba's words, there were many people in Cao Ying who criticized Guo Jia.

In addition, Wu Taishi is an old celebrity around Boss Cao, while Guo Jia is a new celebrity around Boss Cao. In the eyes of Guo Jia and outsiders, it is reasonable for the two to have natural conflicts.

Wu Liang thought to himself, but said with a smile without changing his face: "Ming Gong's most powerful ability is his sharp eye. Guo Jijiu only had one conversation with Ming Gong, and he was recognized by Ming Gong as being able to help him.

A person who has achieved great things, this is enough to show that Guo Jijiu has wisdom and talent that are different from ordinary people. This alone is unmatched by anyone in the world."

"?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia was slightly stunned and looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

Then perhaps it was Wu Liang's quick wit and eloquence that impressed him. He suddenly stopped and bowed to Wu Liang quite formally: "I have met Wu Taishi. Wu Taishi is indeed as extraordinary as the rumors said."

, I was rude before."

"I am over-flattered."

While Wu Liang returned the gift, his peripheral vision fell on Guo Jia's just-exposed arm.

I saw a small "well" scar on Guo Jia's left forearm, and the scar looked a bit old... from the Zongheng Family!

And he should have been a member of the strategist family a long time ago.

Combining the unique introduction and introduction method of the Strategist and Hengjia with Guo Jia's age at the moment, Wu Liang had reason to suspect that among Guo Jia's teachers were old members of the Strategist's family. Unfortunately, they did not catch up with the good time to be born, but Guo Jia did.

.

Combined with Guo Jia's experience, he had gone to see Yuan Shao before, and naturally the idea was to "join the horizontal". However, after seeing Yuan Shao's difficulty in getting things done, now that Boss Cao is here, he is tantamount to joining the "joint vertical" camp.

Strictly speaking, Wu Liang is now considered to be in the "United Vertical" camp, but when Boss Cao defeats Yuan Shao and dominates the Central Plains, he will automatically switch to the "Lianheng" camp.

It's just that only the politicians know about these things, while outsiders are all kept in the dark and become pawns in the political game.

Wu Liang suddenly thought.

Now there are many counselors around Boss Cao. Although they are not as good as Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, or better than Cheng Yu and Xun He who have finished class early, who is the heir to the political strategist family and who is not the heir to the political strategist family?

, but it’s still hard to say.

And Wu Liang will not have any sense of belonging because of this.

He joined the Strategist's Family just to obtain the "Seven Skills of the Yin Fu". The purpose was very clear. In fact, the people of the Strategist's Family did not need any sense of belonging. Everyone fought on their own, and everyone won or lost based on their ability.

During the conversation.

The two of them were actually led by Cao Chun to Boss Cao's study. After asking for instructions, they walked in together and found a seat opposite each other to sit next to Boss Cao.

"You are talented. You have come back at the right time. Let me introduce you to this person..."

At this time, Boss Cao and Guo Jia were obviously not close enough to sit together in the same car. Instead, they sat closer to Wu Liang, took his hand and introduced them with a smile on their faces.

"Ming Gong, when I came back, I happened to meet General Zang Bazang in Tan County. I heard him talk about Guo Jijiu. I just met Guo Jijiu outside, so we are already familiar with him."

Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said submissively.

"In that case, I won't do anything more."

Boss Cao smiled again and said, "How about being talented? Did your trip go smoothly?"

"Thanks to Ming Gong's auspicious words, everything went smoothly."

Wu Liang replied briefly.

"That's good."

Boss Cao knew what was going on, and naturally he would not continue to discuss the affairs of the Hu army in front of Guo Jia. He then said, "By the way, as for your marriage to Ni'er, I'm afraid it will be postponed again. I plan to send my troops today."

Go south to attack the traitor Zhang Xiu. If you succeed in this battle, you will be blessed with double happiness when you come back. What do you think?"

"It all depends on Ming Gong's arrangement. I will not have any opinions."

Wu Liang answered with his hands raised.

This is exactly what he hopes for. Although he knows that as long as he doesn't fall out with Boss Cao, the marriage with Cao Ni will definitely not be put off, but he can delay it for a day to avoid chaos in the family.

However, he added another sentence beforehand: "Ming Gong is strategizing, how can Zhang Xiu be Ming Gong's opponent? This battle will definitely be won, and the general will congratulate Ming Gong in advance."

As expected, Zhang Xiu was going to be beaten.

In this way, the doom of Cao Ang, Cao Zhen and Jueying is coming. As for Dian Wei, Wu Liang will definitely not teach him to go to Wancheng, so there is no need to worry too much.

Apart from Cao Ang, Cao Zhen and Jueying, it is still unclear whether this is the fate of Boss Cao.

After all, without Dian Wei, Boss Cao's circumstances have also changed. God knows what consequences these changes will have.

And Wu Liang naturally doesn't want anything to happen to Boss Cao now.

With Boss Cao gone, Cao's camp is also disbanded. Naturally, he and the Hu army will no longer be able to enjoy the life of worry-free food and clothing now. We don't know what it will be like in the future.

"Hahaha, a talented man's words are pleasing to the ear, but as the saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated, war is unpredictable and ever-changing. Even if I have the advantage now, I still can't take it lightly. Since ancient times, there are many examples of the weak defeating the strong."

Boss Cao said quite soberly.

I'm afraid you won't be able to control your own birds by then...

Wu Liang thought to himself, but followed Boss Cao and said, "What Ming Gong said is absolutely true."

"Now that you're here, don't leave. I've ordered people to prepare a lunch to welcome you. You can first listen to me and Fengxiao formulating the battle strategy here. After we have discussed it, we can go to the living room together.

That’s the banquet.”

Boss Cao then said enthusiastically.

"Ming Gong, this is a military plane..."

After hearing Boss Cao's arrangement, without waiting for Wu Liang's agreement, Guo Jia immediately looked at Wu Liang and said hesitantly, obviously not wanting Wu Liang to be present when the battle strategy was being discussed.

"Ming Gong, I don't know how to fight, so staying here is of no use. On the contrary, it will easily interfere with Ming Gong and Guo Jijiu's ideas."

Wu Liang also held up his hands and said, "I've been here for more than a few months, and I haven't seen Brother Zixiu and Brother Anmin for some time. I wonder if they are at home. Why don't you take this opportunity to go out and talk to him about old times?"

?”

"The war is about to begin. Zixiu and Anmin are organizing their troops outside."

Boss Cao said.

"I don't know if Ni'er is here. Ni'er came to see me off before I went out. Please be kind and kind. I will go and report to Ni'er first that I'm safe."

Wu Liang even found this excuse and took the initiative to poke this hornet's nest.

He must try his best to avoid getting involved in the war. At most, he can give Boss Cao some advice on "destiny" in advance and give Boss Cao some support in the rear, lest Boss Cao take him with him as a counselor. This is far from Wu Liang's original intention.

Far.

"I have ordered people to temporarily send the family scrolls back to Juancheng, and Ni'er has also gone back together. Chenliu is still too close to Nanyang. I'm afraid it won't be stable if a war breaks out."

Boss Cao squinted again and insisted, "Just listen here. The so-called authorities are obsessed with it. Maybe the things that Fengxiao and I ignored were picked up by you, an outsider. It can be solved in time, not to mention yours."
