A New Generation of Wei – Prologue
(Before Chapter 3 – Starting to Divide)
In the year 189, the young scholar Guo Jia and his wife Fenxia were in there home in Yu Province, there however was a momentous occasion as they were expecting the newest member of the family to arrive soon.
"Come on, dear, all you need to do is one more push!", Guo Jia says to his wife as she is in the middle of child birth and by the looks of it, in pain. "Well, if its that easy, why don't you switch with me?!", Fenxia yelled back before, she could finally feel the little child come outside her. The doctor immediately grabbed some nearby blankets and Guo Jia had a basin of hot water and cloths to clean and dry off the child.
"Do you two, know what the child's name is going to be, yet?" The doctor inquired.
"Yes, Guo You, oh he almost looks just like you my darling", Fenxia said as she held her son in her arms staring into her son's eyes, Guo Jia right behind her, looking at their new son. The young babe having his father's blonde hair.
"Yes, my love, I know after he's all grown up he'll have all the girls in town talking about him." Guo Jia told in his usual calm and jovial tone. Fenxia could only roll her eyes at her husband's antics. She then handed the young child to her husband for him to hold. The blonde-haired scholar cradles the little boy in his arms for the first time.
"If only this land were not in chaos, you could be a happy one forever, but such is fate with one who lives in a land with those who seek to take the land by force only for here own ambition." Guo Jia said to himself as he held his son. Fenxia saw the look on her beloved's face and know what he was thinking.
Year 192 – Ji Province
"My lord, do you truly wish to serve Yuan Shao he seems to be one of those lords who thinks because he's of nobility he can have everything." Fenxia shared her concerns with her husband.
In this short span of time, the two had another child, Guo Yi was right now playing with his older brother You as their parents were contemplating their future. At this point You was still 3 years old his brother was now a year old. You's birthday was coming soon and he would be 4 years old then.
"No, he has neither the talent nor foresight to rule this land, he's as you say a haughty nobleman, he may have some talented men, but he is indecisive as a leader, no man like that can conquer and rule the land." Guo Jia explained his reasoning.
"Come what may, I know you'll find a lord you wish to serve, one that will bring a land of peace for us all." Fenxia said to comfort her husband as they both looked on at there children who were playing with each other.
"I know that one day you two will be important in the years to come, I hope you all will succeed wherever I have failed," Guo Jia thought to himself as he watched the night sky with his wife.
Year 193 – Xuchang, Yan Province
He finally had a home and a master, the "Hero of Chaos", Cao Cao, he had been told of the leader's bravery at the Battle of Hulao Gate and his actions during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after comparing the two, Guo Jia decided that serving Cao Cao was the only way to bring peace to the land.
However; many other officers had joined the service of Cao Cao as well, such as Man Chong, Yu Jin, Xun Yu, Xun You, and many others that joined Cao Cao since the battle at Hulao.
Guo Jia was currently speaking with Master Man Chong, Xun Yu, and Xun You about Cao Cao.
"I never thought I would see you two again, it has been quite some time, Master Xun Yu and Master Xun You. It's also an honor to meet a defensive master such as yourself Master Man Chong." Guo Ji introduced himself to the men.
"Ah, it's quite an enjoyment to see you again as well Master Guo Jia, it is a shame the rest of our clan decided to serve Yuan Shao, but I can only hope they come around before that time comes." Xun Yu was the first to answer.
"I thank you for the compliments Master Guo Jia, but I'm nothing compared to my cousin." Xun You introduced himself as well.
"To know that one such as you knows of my specialties, I am impressed Master Guo Jia." The man in a white and blue unkempt jacket, Man Chong replied.
"Everyone seems to be getting along so far, with all that we have, we are probably one the largest forces in this region of China." The defense expert replied with his thoughts.
"But we are nowhere close compared to others in the area, of course Yuan Shao is one of those contenders, but there are the remnants of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's forces to think about as well." Guo Jia replied.
"Yes, we must consolidate our position first before our lord's plans can come to fruition." Xun Yu answered with his thoughts.
"Father!", suddenly a young boy came running to Guo Jia and jumped into his arms, with Guo Jia catching the young man.
"Ha ha, how are you my boy, out and about?" Guo Jia asked his oldest son.
"Yes, mother decided to go to the market today, but I saw you and had to see you." Guo You answered his father.
Suddenly, Guo You saw all the men staring at the two and he put his face in his father's chest to hide from them.
"It's okay my boy, there here to help Lord Cao Cao, which means they're your friends." Guo Jia attempted to calm down his son.
"If you say so." Guo You said softly as he lifted up to see that the men all had smiles on their faces and some were laughing at the boy's antics.
"Is this your son, Master Guo Jia?" Man Chong inquired of the young strategist.
"Yes, he's my eldest, his name is Guo You and I have another son called Guo Yi and my wife lives in the city district." Guo Jia answered the question.
"So this is your son, he seems energetic like you Master Guo Jia." Xun Yu responded to the father-son pair.
"Yes, he seems to get all the ladies attention whenever he's around, I just can't seem to get any attention." Guo Jia responded as he held his son in his arms.
"Mom always catches you when you're not paying attention." You responded to his dad's attempt to throw off the men in front of them.
"Hey now, I was always looking I never did anything." Guo Jia attempted to defend himself.
"Mom's just as smart as you dad, she knows." You finally revealed Jia finally gave up with a hearty laugh which the other men joined in.
"My Lords!" suddenly a messenger came running to the group of men.
"We have just received word its… its Lord Cao Cao's father he's… been slain by Lord Tao Qian's men en-route to Yan Province." The messenger finished in an anguished and tired state.
"How was this possible, Lord Tao Qian and Lord Cao Song were childhood friends?" Man Chong questioned the reports.
"It was said that Lord Cao Song was transporting many personal valuables with him, I think some of Tao Qian's men went rogue, and not on his orders, but I believe Lord Cao Cao knows that and will instead use his fathers' death as justification to take Xu Province from Tao Qian." Guo Jia explained in detail.
"Are you sure, that seems quite a stretch." Xun You responded, doubt in his voice.
"It is certainly in the realm of possibility, Tao Qian is loved by the people of Xu and he has been seeing the wandering group of famous volunteers from the Yellow Turban campaign; Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, its quite possible he will call for their aid for an upcoming fight." Xun Yu as well made his own observations.
"Alright You, tell your mother I'm going to be preparing to go out on the battlefield with Lord Cao Cao. Tell her not to worry and look after your brother as well." Guo Jia instructed his son.
"Yes father, please be careful." His son wished him good fortune as the men went off to prepare for battle.
'Father, one day I'll be just like you I'll keep help bring this land to peace with my mind and keep those I care for safe." The young boy thought to himself as he curled his fists.
Guo You did as his father told him to do and ran off to inform his mother.
