Chapter 1271: Performing the Book of Changes, Concealing Secrets

It can be said that Cao Cao's four sons were lost and found again, and they were very happy.

Cao Cao immediately ordered that the generals, civil and military, go to the prime minister's mansion for a banquet, and they didn't disperse until late at night.

After everyone dispersed, only Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were left in the hall.

Cao Cao took the hands of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and said with a smile:

"I heard that Fengxiao and Zhicai (Note) are all proficient in divination. I am very curious. Can I learn this kind of divination?"

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord is a great talent who manages the world and comforts the people. Why use this path? It's a waste of energy."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Zhicai is teasing the lord, saying that the lord's talent is limited, and he can't learn fortune-telling after wasting energy for nothing. It's better to go to bed early and forget it."

Cao Cao pretended to be angry and said, "What's the truth, I must learn!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully.

Guo Jia said: "The technique of divination and calculation was born out of the Taoism's method of prayer. This technique has the risk of revealing the secrets of heaven, so the predecessors usually leave books for future generations to learn, and there are few word of mouth."

Cao Cao said: "I am too busy fighting, how can I have time to study the books of the predecessors? Fengxiao and Zhicai must teach me. Only those who can teach me will be wise."

Guo Jia said: "It's not impossible for my lord to learn. I have a way to deceive the secrets of heaven: as long as two people hold hands in their sleeves and write secretly, they will not be jealous of heaven."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "This method is wonderful!"

The three of them immediately sat in a circle, each stretched out two hands, held each other with the other two, and wrapped them in their sleeves.

Cao Cao first used his left hand to write on the heart of Xi Zhicai's right hand: "Xiong is suspicious."

Guo Jia nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "There are three thousand techniques in mathematics, all of which can lead to the road. Which kind of divination and calculation technique does the lord want to learn?" He spoke, but his right hand did not stop, in the heart of Xi Zhicai's left hand , wrote "a person suspected of being outside the party".

At this point, how can Xi Zhicai still not guess the whole story? He smiled at the moment: "The art of divination and calculation, if you trace it back to its origin, of course you have to learn it from "Yi"."

Xi Zhicai was distracted and wrote the words "Ye is also suspicious" in the palms of Guo Jia and Cao Cao respectively.

Ye refers to Liu Ye, the counselor.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and said first: "I'm afraid "Yi" is too difficult. Is there a quick way?" After saying this, he wrote in the hands of the two counselors, "If you want to get rid of it, who can do it?" letter".

Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, there is a way to learn "Yi"." But he wrote the words "Dun Chu Liao Huang" in Cao Cao's palm.

And Xi Zhicai also wrote the five words "Xu is unbelievable" at the same time.

Cao Cao asked, "Is there any good way?" This time, he didn't need to write any more, and the two counselors could hear the pun clearly.

Guo Jia pulled out his right hand from Xi Zhicai's sleeve, ordered the guards who were accompanying him to grab a handful of chopsticks, and said with a smile, "In the Book of Changes, the only method of divination recorded is the 'Da Yan Divination Method'. The so-called Dayan's number is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty... Well, the rest is inconvenient to say, and they are all in the lord's sleeve."

Guo Jia said in his mouth that he waved his right hand, took out fifty chopsticks, and then took one and put it in front of him, representing one of escape; then he demonstrated the rest of the steps of the Dayan divination method for Cao Cao.

On the other hand, Guo Jia's left hand moved fingers rapidly, writing lines of words in the heart of Cao Cao's right hand.

Cao Cao seemed to be watching Guo Jia's demonstration attentively, but he was actually trying to receive the information from Guo Jia through his palm.

...

The other courtyard of the prime minister's mansion.

Crash, Cao Xiong (Richard) smashed a teacup to pieces.

"That damned Chinese witch doctor! I'm so mad at my fellows!"

Alberta, the intelligence team leader and assistant team leader, sighed and said: "That's called Chinese medicine, not witch doctor. Although Huaxia Chinese medicine is not as good as our western medicine, there are still some things that can be appreciated. Especially here is the Three Kingdoms of the spirit world. In this plane, it is not surprising that a doctor who has a great reputation here can cure the 'septic blood bug poison'."

Richard said: "I just knew something bad happened, so I sent Marvin to assassinate him."

Alberta said: "I have always opposed this matter. Cao Cao obviously had suspicions, so he sent Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, two lord-level fierce generals, and brought 300 elite-level special soldiers! Although Marvin is our class The best stalker in the world, but it is still very difficult to assassinate that doctor."

Richard said: "Who would have thought that Cao Cao would send Guo Jia? It was Guo Jia who discovered Ma Wen's trail in advance, which caused us to fail."

Alberta complained: "Even if the assassination is successful, who knows if Cao Cao will invite other doctors? Could it be that one assassinates another? It's too simple for you to think about it."

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Richard changed the subject and said, "Which territory does that damn Yuan Xi come from?"

Alberta shook his head and said: "At present, our internal agents in the Yuan Group are also working hard to investigate. But right now, I haven't received any news."

Richard said angrily: "This bastard, doesn't he know how important the strategic significance is when two countries are at war and capture the other's four princes as hostages? It's like throwing back Cao Pi and the others like throwing a piece of rag. This person is more ruthless than us!"

Alberta sighed: "Our enemy may not be limited to this Yuan Xi. Recently, the Raven Messenger sent information that Liu Biao of the Jingzhou Group was defeated by the Sun Ce Group. At present, most of the nine counties in Jingzhou have fallen into the hands of Sun Ce .”

"What?" Richard suddenly stood up, "Jingzhou is our second strategic goal! It is an important springboard for me to master the Cao Group. How could..."

Alberta glanced at him: "You should save yourself and think about how to get through the immediate crisis! I got a secret report that after tonight's banquet, Cao Cao left two of his most trusted advisors. What do you think they will discuss by avoiding all civil servants and generals?"

Richard said: "Isn't it going to deal with us?"

Alberta said: "Very likely, you have to prepare for the worst."

After a while, an awakened person dressed in black appeared in the other courtyard like a ghost.

"Maturin!" Alberta said, "Cao Cao left those two advisers behind, what is he planning?"

The black-clothed awakened man whispered, "Don't worry. Cao Cao is playing a divination game in ancient China, and asked two counselors to teach him how to do divination."

Richard breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Cao Cao is in a good mood after the recovery of his four sons."

But Alberta was somewhat skeptical: "No, the Cao Group is still dangerous now. Based on my research on Cao Cao, he probably wouldn't do this."

Richard disagreed: "Don't think that you are the only one who has studied Cao Cao. I have read the whole Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao will relax his vigilance when he is in a good mood, and he is particularly lustful. If it is not for this problem, another powerful lord under him, nor die."

Alberta took a deep breath and said: "No matter what, you must prepare for the worst. If Cao Cao really attacks you, you must immediately submit the main task, and then mobilize the whole squad to kill General Cao Jun as much as possible , get the treasure chest income, and make up for our losses!"

"In that case, wouldn't it mean that Yuan Xi was taken advantage of? And there may be hostile awakeners in the Jiangdong Group?" Richard said unwillingly.

Alberta said angrily: "The situation has developed to this point, your decision-making problem is very serious! You still want to fight with the awakened? What's the benefit of fighting internally? What we value is profit! Even a little bit of loss can be recovered , it's all worth it!"
