Chapter 13 - Boss Cao’s Scheinal by Bro Got a Gun, Translated by Ja?!” In Xiapi’s Province Governor's Mansion, Cao Cao wasa name Froe dissension, it appear that this man’s shadoas everywhere!
“Han imperial clansman?!” Cao Cao was dumbfounded, another Han imperial clansman?!
[TL: direct translation, relative to the Han Dynasty’s clan Using imperial clansman as opposed to royal clans or queens]
This ood! Cao Cao almost even lost his life! He only knew of such a person from the mouth of captured Lu Bu soldiers
“A capable individual! A great talent!” Cao Cao sighed deeply “Alas, this talent does not work for xiao, say, do you think that I could recruit this Liu Mang?!” Cao Cao’s success wasn’t accidental, it was significantly because of his approach toward people of great talent!
[TL: Fengxiao is Guo Jia’s courtesy name Guo Jia is one of Cao Cao’s main advisors, he’s the dude who told hi!” Seated below Cao Cao was a prodigal looking scholar ThisEven when Cao Cao inquires hihty attitude, but it was precisely because of this haughty attitude that that gave birth to the reputation of this sly genius, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao
“Notthat this man’s scheeneral Xiahou Yuan as heavily injured by Lu Bu, do you think general Xiahou Dun would allow such a man to join us?!” Xiahou Yuan alh he survived, his injuries requires at least half a year to heal! The ani Yuanran and Miaocai, I could get things flowing!” Cao Cao still did not give up For his talented individuals, for his great ambitions, what harm is there for him to lower himself?!
“Hehe,heart but you still need to consider who the talent is!” Guo Jia smiled wryly at his lord and shook his head “It was reported that thisand is a Han imperial clansman Say, do you think that those Han imperial clansmen would be interested in Pri to work for you?!”
“That’s impossible! Isn’t Liu Bei also a Han imperial clansman?! He’s even the e! Are they not subordinates of I, Cao Cao?!” said Cao Cao, fully pleased with his acco is Liu Ye’s courtesy name He’s an advisor to Cao Cao]
“Liu Bei?!” Guo Jia sneered “He is not a man who is contented with his roots Lord, it is better to remove this man as soon as possible!” Guo Jia, Xun Yu and the other advisors regarded Liu Bei as the biggest thorn in the current Cao arrew up in a poor fa lost his father when he was still a child To support themselves, Liu Bei and his mother sold shoes and straoven mats - a very difficult livelihood On the southeast corner of Liu Bei’s house, there was a mulberry tree of fifty foot tall From afar, the tree looked like a canopy of a chariot All the passersby felt that this tree was not so from the earthly world and believed that there will certainly be a noble from this house In his childhood, Liu Bei played underneath the tree with other kids and pointed at the mulberry tree and said “In the future, I will certainly ride a feathered canopy chariot like this one!”
I only the emperor was qualified to sit underneath But, a straw mat weaver dared to speak of his wishes to sit underneath such a canopy - one could tell that this person’s ah, although this big eared Liu did not show any ambitions fro hinized as one by Emperor Xian of Han!
This caused Guo Jia to be on extra alert against Liu Bei! Having areat ambitions! Had Liu Bei been alone, Guo Jia would still not be so alert, but that was not the case The big eared Liu had three brothers! Neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei are regular enerals!
Guo Jia have always told Cao Cao to separate the three brothers, to divide and conquer However, every single ti a subordinate, if you really are loyal, then whyto rely on theh Xuande is unbearable, it is not not the ti Liu Bei Afterall he was an overly suspecting ly kill three thousand than to let one escape!
But Cao Cao wanted Liu Bei’s Zhang Fei and Guan Yu! Especially Guan Yu! Outstand martial abilities, familiar with the arts of war and with the spirit of loyalty and self sacrifice, he was certainly a valiant general!
Should he kill Liu Bei right away, then in this lifetieneral!
“Sigh!” Guo Jia too knehat his lord was thinking about! The desire for a good general and the difficulty of re? Hehe, if it wasn’t for h Liu Ye was very talented, as talented as Guo Jia, Cao Cao never really trusted him!
Xu Shao of Runan have once said ‘Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang, have a talent in assisting the building of an era' According to Cao Cao’s love for talent, he should’ve had Liu Ye as a confidant However, he never had Instead, he gave Liu Ye an official position as the assistant to the Excellency of Works What does the assistant of Excellency of Works do? He was in charge of provisions! Had he been in charge of the arh to not bring shae of the are of the provisions in the Excellency of Work’s Mansion In other words, he was the chief housekeeper!
[TL: 司空倉曹掾 : assistant to the Excellency of Works Cao Cao was the Excellency of Works(司空) 倉曹 according to the novel was in charge of the provisions So basically dude’s position is the aide to Cao Cao but instead Cao Cao sent him to his ho to use someone he didn’t trust]
To turn such a talented man into a housekeeper, one could tell how xiao, I cannot hide anything from you!” Cao Cao s? For Lu Bu to escape this ti, Cao Cao had already given up He now set his focus on the Lu Bu arer who just lost his ho! Should we chase after hireat casualties!” said Guo Jia after drinking some wine
