"Lord..." Xun Yu and others heard the crying in the tent and hurried in, only to see Cao Cao holding Guo Jia and crying bitterly. He could not speak out the words. He only felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

Guo Jia is a genius, but he doesn’t have the bad habits of most geniuses. When he was in Suiyang, Guo Jia was a promiscuous person and his reputation was not very good. He slept in a brothel for a long time and went to borrow money when he had no money.

All officials in the Suiyang court, ranging from Cao Cao to generals with some wealth, and even Xu Chu, could be considered Guo Jia's creditors.

But the strange thing is that for such a person, although some of Cao Cao's subordinates dislike him, Guo Jia's popularity is quite good.

Xu Chu can also have a lively chat with Guo Jia, and he seems to be able to chat with anyone.

As Guo Jia's biggest creditors, when they saw Guo Jia die, these people did not think about the debt in their minds, they only felt empty in their hearts.

Cao Cao didn't cry for too long. People like him rarely show their feelings. After asking people to help collect Guo Jia's body, he didn't send it back to Linzi. Instead, he asked people to go to Linzi to take Guo Jia's wife.

The son is here.

Cao Cao didn't say what he wanted to do, and no one dared to ask.

A few days later, Guo Jia's wife and children were escorted to the camp. When they saw the body of their husband (father), they naturally burst into tears again.

"Bo Yi." On this day, after Cao Cao waited for Guo Jia's wife and children to cry, he called Guo Jia's son Guo Yi to his side. Seeing that Guo Yi and Guo Jia had somewhat similar faces, he couldn't help but think of Guo Jia again, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

.

"Lord..." Guo Yi saluted.

"Fengxiao died and should have been buried generously, but I wanted him to return to his hometown for burial." Cao Cao pulled Guo Yi and sighed: "Although Fengxiao didn't say it, I know that he was homesick."

"Lord, now that all the land in the Central Plains has been acquired by Chen Jun, I am afraid that I have some intentions..." Guo Yi said in surprise.

"I will write a letter later. You take Fengxiao's coffin with your mother and go to Zhengrong Valley to seek refuge. Give the letter to Chen Mo, and he will take care of Fengxiao's funeral." Cao Cao patted Guo Yi.

He said over his shoulder: "Don't worry about him embarrassing you. After all, Feng Xiao and Chen Mo are from the same family. You should call him uncle and carry the coffin away at this time. He will not be in trouble."

"This... Lord, I will come back after taking care of my father's funeral affairs." Guo Yi thought for a while and nodded.

"There is no need to come back." Cao Cao shook his head: "Although there is no winner in this battle, if it continues like this, Qingzhou will not be safe, and coming back... is useless, so I will stay in Yingchuan. If you want to become an official, Chen Mo will definitely

I won't stop you, but I will make a plan for you as a filial friend. As for whether to listen or not, you can decide for yourself."

"Please tell me, Lord." Guo Yi quickly said with his hands in hand.

"Although Boyi is smart, he still lacks a bit of your father's insight. Chen Mo has Xun You, Li Ru, Xu Shu as his conspirators, and Tian Feng, Jushu, and other wise men in the past have now joined his command. If you want to join

Chen Mo will definitely not stop you from becoming an official, but if you want to get ahead, it will be difficult; you go find Chen Jin and stay with this man, and you will be able to get a good job in the future." Cao Cao patted Guo Yi on the shoulder and sighed: "This is what it should be.

It's me who will do it, but now I can't protect myself. Fengxiao spent his whole life strategizing for me, and now he is dead. I don't want you to follow me to the dark side. The only thing I can give you is this road. As for whether to go or not,

It depends on how you choose."

Guo Yi nodded. The reason was not difficult to understand. He bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your advice."

"Call me uncle." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled.

"Thank you, uncle." Guo Yi hesitated for a moment and bowed.

"Go quickly and take care of your mother." Cao Cao touched Guo Yi's shoulder, with a hint of desolation in his smile.

"Yi, please leave!" Guo Yi took the letter respectfully, bowed to Cao Cao, and then exited the commander's tent.

Cao Cao prepared several carriages for Guo Yi and assigned fifty soldiers from Yingchuan to follow Guo Yi away. This was the only thing he could do to help Guo Yi.

Guo Yi and his mother took Guo Jia's coffin out of Cao Ying and arrived at the Jungle Valley in the evening.

"Lord, Cao Jun sent someone to deliver a coffin outside. What does this mean? Provoke?" Dian Wei came in angrily and said to Chen Mo.

"Coffin?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this. Cao Cao shouldn't make this joke with him, right?

"Where is the envoy?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said.

"It's strange that I locked him up. There is a woman among the messengers." Dian Wei hummed.

"No matter what, there is no need to embarrass an envoy and let him come to see me." Chen Mo was speechless and waved his hand.

"Here!" Although Dian Wei was dissatisfied with what the other party did, Chen Mo spoke, so he could only do as he was told. He left immediately and came in with Guo Yi and his son after a while.

"Nephew, meet your uncle!" Guo Yi bowed tactfully when he saw Chen Mo.

"You are..." Chen Mo has a very good memory and does not remember that he has met this person, let alone that he has a nephew inexplicably. Judging from his age, he is not much younger than himself.

"Father Guo Jia." Guo Yi bowed and said.

"Brother Fengxiao?" Chen Mo looked at Guo Yi and frowned: "Why would he let you come here?"

"My father died of illness in the camp a few days ago. Mr. Cao hoped that my father could be buried in his hometown, so he ordered his nephew and mother to bring my father's coffin. I hope that my uncle can be accommodating and let me, mother and son pass. I can't thank you enough!

"Guo Yi took out the letter and handed it to Chen Modao.

After reading the letter, Chen Mo felt a little lost and said, "Brother Fengxiao is gone?"

Guo Yi nodded and said nothing.

"Where is the coffin?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said.

"Still outside the camp." Dian Wei blinked.

"Welcome in." Chen Mo stood up and said solemnly.

"Here!"

"Bo Yi, I already know the matter. You can rest here for the night. Tomorrow I will send someone to escort your mother, son and brother Feng Xiao's coffin back to Yingchuan." Chen Mo looked at Guo Yidao.

"Thank you, uncle!" Guo Yi bowed respectfully to Chen Mo. He had always addressed him as uncle, and obviously did not want to serve as an official under Chen Mo. Chen Mo did not care about these thoughts. He had his own personal thoughts. Besides, he had to observe filial piety for three years. These

There is no need to force things. Although he is the son of Guo Jia, his talent may not be as good as that of his father. It would be better to settle down. After Qingzhou is captured and Cao Cao is destroyed, he can naturally become an official if he wants to.

Guo Jia's body naturally needed to be confirmed. Chen Mo was not at ease with Cao Cao. He even escorted him all the way back, which was called escort, but actually meant to monitor him. At this time, Cao Cao was about to be destroyed, and Chen Mo didn't want any more accidents to happen.

After confirming that there was a corpse in the coffin, Chen Mo had the coffin sealed again, returned to the tent, and summoned Xu Shu and Xun You.

Guo Jia is a figure that Chen Mo has to pay attention to. Among the people around Cao Cao, Guo Jia's threat in Chen Mo's heart is second only to Xun Yu.

Chen Mo also admires Guo Jia's talent. He has the help of the gods in the system and has been working hard over the years to achieve what he is today. But what about Guo Jia? I'm afraid he is not as lucky as himself, but he still remains the same.

To become a top strategist that Chen Mo cannot ignore, there is indeed a gap between people.

Now that Guo Jia is dead, Chen Mo can't help but feel a bit sad. No matter how powerful a person is, he may not be so heroic when he dies.

"My lord, when Guo Jia died and Cao Cao lost a helping hand, I thought that the victory of this battle might be near." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Have you noticed that Brother Meng De's move is a bit like laying out the funeral arrangements? After Guo Jia's death, he was supposed to do the funeral arrangements, but now he has entrusted them to me. Although it makes sense in theory, but

I always feel that this move is not just to send Guo Jia's coffin back to his hometown." Chen Mo frowned.

It does feel that way.

Xu Shu and Xun You nodded, but they couldn't figure out what Cao Cao was thinking.

"Knowing that you will lose?" Xun You looked at Chen Mo and said.

This statement makes sense. If you know you will lose, why bother to resist? Wouldn't it be better to surrender? Cao Cao should know very well that if he is willing to surrender, he will not embarrass him too much.

"Tell me, if I surrender at this time, will Brother Meng De accept it?" Chen Mo suddenly asked.

If Cao Cao is willing to surrender, Chen Mo will naturally be happy, not only because the war in Qingzhou is over, but also because their old friend does not have to fight to the death and fall alone.

During the war, Chen Mo could be ruthless, but if he really had a choice, he didn't want Cao Cao to die.

this……

Chen Mo's question stopped Xu Shu and Xun You. It is difficult to guess the psychology of a person like Cao Cao.

"I'll write a letter and send it to Cao Cao's camp and ask the messenger to bring the letter back!" Thinking of this possibility, Chen Mo didn't want to wait any longer. He took out the bamboo slips, thought about it, and wrote a letter to Cao Cao to persuade him to surrender.
