Chapter 43: Capturing Guo Jia

  Cheng Yu and Xun You both bowed to Wang Can at the same time. Wang Can's mind buzzed for a moment, and he was suddenly stunned.

  Which part of the song is this?

  Wang Can naturally thought of using Cheng Yu and Xun You for himself, but the scene before him was too surprising. Cheng Yu and Xun You actually took the initiative to surrender to Wang Can. Is this the benefit of having Cai Yong as a teacher? If so, it would be better to worship several great Confucians as teachers, wouldn't there be people surrendering every day?

  Of course, this is just Wang Can's fantasy.

  He hastily reached out and helped Cheng Yu and Xun You up, saying: "Gong Da, you two, what's going on?"

  Cheng Yu smiled and said: "The master is also a man with great ambitions, can't he accept the old man and Gong Da?"

  Cheng Yu and Xun You came to surrender, Wang Can was naturally very happy, but he still had some doubts. He shook his head and said: "Of course not, I naturally hope that Zhongde Gong and Gongda can join hands with me to conquer a vast territory, but in my heart, Zhongde Gong and Gongda are unmatched strategists. However, I have not yet received recognition from the imperial court and do not have enough power, so I am somewhat surprised."

  Cheng Yu laughed loudly and said: "Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather. Now that Lord and I have come to surrender to the lord at this time, isn't it more evident of our sincerity?"

  Xun Yu said, "Actually, I and Zhong Da have been paying attention to the lord since we met him in Yingchuan. We went to Luoyang also to observe the lord's actions. Today, the lord is willing to take out the Taiping Heavenly Book for filial piety, which shows the lord's broad-mindedness. Therefore, I and Zhong Da have made up our minds to follow the lord."

  In fact, Cheng Yu and Xun You had made up their minds to surrender to Wang Can, and the Taiping Doctrine was only one of the reasons.

  Another reason is that Guo Jia used the Wen Wang divination method, but unexpectedly did not predict Wang Can's future, which is also one of the main reasons why Cheng Yu and Xun You can join Wang Can.

  In addition, Wang Can met Cheng Yu and others at the Yingchuan Wine House, after a conversation, Cheng Yu and Xun You had a general understanding of Wang Can, and also had a good impression on him. At the same time, Wang Can entered Luoyang to worship Cai Yan as his master, washing away his identity as a Yellow Turban bandit, and suddenly becoming a "loyal minister" admired and respected by everyone, with the heroic figure wearing the cloak of a "loyal minister", things became much easier, this is also one of the main reasons.

  Many reasons piled up, and Cheng Yu and Xun You decided to surrender to Wang Can.

  Wang Can obtained the surrender of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and laughed, saying: "To have received the assistance of Zhongde Gong and Gongda is truly like adding wings to a tiger!"

  King Can paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of Cheng Yu and the other three who had not appeared, nor had Xun Yu. If they could get Wang Zuo's talent to surrender, wouldn't it be even more wonderful? He thought of this and immediately asked: "Gong Da, Wen Ruo is also with you, why are there only you, Zhong De Gong, and Feng Xiao here? Hasn't Wen Ruo gone out for something?"

  Xun Yu explained: "My lord, your uncle has gone to Ji Province and defected to Yuan Benchu."

  "Oh, Wen Ruo has actually defected to Yuan Benchu?"

  Wang Can sighed inwardly, shook his head and said to himself: "It seems that what I said in Yingchuan was not agreed upon by Wenruo, otherwise he would not have gone to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao."

  Cheng Yu said, "If Wen Chou did not disagree, he was just being stubborn and still held a glimmer of hope that Yuan Shao could raise an army to resist Dong Zhuo, rescue the Emperor, and restore the Han court."

  Wang Can nodded and he was well-versed in history, also knowing that Xun Yu was loyal to the emperor.

  Otherwise, Xun Yu would not have been reused by Cao Cao for his loyalty to the emperor and ended up dying in frustration.

  "Huh? Where am I? Where's my wine?"

  Beside the bed, Guo Jia suddenly opened his eyes, shook his heavy head, and felt a blur in front of him. After a while, the scene in his eyes cleared up, he muttered to himself, turned his head to look around, and found that there were three people sitting beside him. Apart from Cheng Yu and Xun You, two old acquaintances, there was another person wearing white clothes, with black hair like ink, sword eyebrows and bright eyes, who was surprisingly Wang Can, whom he had met in Yingchuan.

  "Huh, how did you get to Hero's Tower first?"

  Guo Jia's head was still dizzy, but he gradually came to his senses.

  Wang Can smiled and replied: "I was originally living in Hero Tower, it just so happened that when I returned to Hero Tower, I bumped into Gong Da, so I came."

  Wang Can saw Guo Jia wake up, and his face was filled with smiles.

  "Filial piety, you've finally woken up."

  Xun Yu saw Guo Jia wake up, hurriedly walked to the bedside, and supported Guo Jia against the wall of the bed, saying: "You fainted suddenly while drinking wine, which scared me and Zhong De. After finding several doctors, they all said that you were seriously ill and difficult to cure. Fortunately, our lord has a prescription for curing the toxins in your body, so you have a chance to recover."

  "Your Excellency? What's going on here?" Guo Jia was momentarily stunned, looked up at Wang Can and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, have you and Zhong Da Gong made a final decision?"

  Xun Yu replied: "Yes, I and Zhong De Gong have already surrendered to the lord, willing to be at his service."

  "Zhong De Gong, is it true?" Guo Jia asked again.

  Cheng Yu replied: "Indeed!"

  Guo Jia shook his head and sighed, saying: "Isn't it the will of heaven? Ah, in this vast city of Luoyang, we can still meet here at the Hero's Pavilion. Since Zhongde and Gongda have already defected, I might as well defect too. As heroes from Yingchuan, we naturally cannot be separated."

  Although it was said so, Guo Jia had actually taken notice of Wang Can and had the intention of surrendering in his heart.

  Cheng Yu and Xun You have already defected to Wang Can, so Guo Jia no longer wants to continue observing Wang Can.

  Guo Jia finished speaking and stood up, bowing to Wang Can: "Guo Jia pays his respects to Your Excellency."

  Guo Jia had regained consciousness, but his body was still extremely weak. As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia was already panting with exhaustion.

  "Haha...... With Gongxiao, Zhongde Gong and Gonda's help, great things can be expected, great things can be expected!" Wang Can was overjoyed in his heart, with a joyful smile on his face, finally having his own team.

  Guo Jia, a genius of the world.

  Cheng Yu, strong and resolute, daring to make major decisions.

  Xun Yu, calculated without leaving a strategy, wonderful plans came out in large numbers.

  These three men were originally Cao Cao's subordinates, but now they have become Wang Can's first batch of strategists.

  However, in Wang Can's heart, although he was happy, there was still a hint of regret. If Xun Yu, who had the talent of Wang Zuo, also followed him to surrender, it would be even better. But Wang Can also understood that Xun Yu would not betray him, as Wang Can was known as a Yellow Turban bandit, and Xun Yu was a man with a single-minded devotion to loyalty and patriotism.

  "My lord, welcome back. Is there fine wine? Are there beautiful women?" Guo Jia leaned against the wall again, a look of languor on his face as he asked with a smile.

  "Good wine is available, and so are beautiful women, but unfortunately you can't enjoy them now."

  "What's this for you?"

  Guo Jia's face was urgent, his body originally leaning against the wall suddenly straightened up, his eyes wide open, looking at Wang Can and then at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.

  Xun Yu sat on the edge of the bed, saw Guo Jia's body straighten up, and hastily stretched out his hand to support Guo Jia, scolding: "Fengxiao, you've become like this, still thinking about fine wine and beautiful women. Doctor Zhou said that your liver is damaged from excessive drinking, your kidneys are damaged from excessive lust, and your mind is damaged from overthinking. Moreover, the frequent consumption of Wushi Powder and Golden Elixir has accumulated a lot of toxins in your lungs, which must be eliminated. Therefore, during this period of taking medicine, you cannot drink wine, nor can you approach women, especially the Golden Elixir and Wushi Powder, which you will never take again."

  "Guo Jia shook his head and said: 'Gong Da, I know my own body. It's been entangled with toxins for a long time and can't be cured. Don't try to comfort me.'"

  "Don't worry, your illness can be cured."

  Guo Jia said in a low voice: "I know my illness is incurable, so don't deceive me, Gong Da."

  Xun Yu couldn't help but smile, and turned his head to glance at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu continued, "Feng Xiao, don't worry, the Taiping method recorded by our lord has a way to remove the toxins from your body, your illness can be cured."

  "What's Taiping's trick?" Guo Jia turned his gaze towards Wang Can, with a puzzled expression again.
