Chapter 401: Guo Jia's strategy of retreating is to advance

Xiang Yu sighed and said bitterly: "This butcher's infamy really can't be washed away for a lifetime." ”

Although Xiang Yu doesn't care much about what others think of him, he definitely doesn't want to leave a reputation for eternity.

Shi Lan felt a pain in her heart when she heard this, and just wanted to comfort Xiang Yu, but at this time, Guo Jia walked in with a frosty face.

After seeing Shi Lan, Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately became ugly, and he said lightly to Xiang Yu: "General Xiang, you are still a beauty on your side, it seems that you don't know how much trouble you have caused." Leave. ”

Saying that, Guo Jia pretended to leave, but Xiang Yu hurriedly stopped him when he saw this, and said, "Xiaofeng, you have something to say, don't go." ”

Guo Jiadun was still stagnant, and Shi Lan also left with interest when she saw this, and before walking out of the big tent, Shi Lan turned her head and looked at Guo Jia deeply.

Guo Jia smiled when he saw this, and his mouth moved slightly, but Shi Lan suddenly changed color, and hurriedly turned around and walked away quickly.

"Is it time to act so soon?"

Shi Lan, who walked out of the big tent, muttered to herself, her eyes full of struggle, but in the end she turned into a touch of determination.

In the big tent, Guo Jia looked at Xiang Yu expressionlessly, and said, "General Xiang, you have made a disaster, do you know how many people will carry the black pot?" ”

Xiang Yu thought that Guo Jia was affected because of himself, so he asked, "Is it serious?" ”

"General Xiang, you can't take care of others anymore. The last time you slaughtered 150,000 soldiers without your consent, it already made the great sages and good teachers very dissatisfied, and this time you actually directly ordered the massacre of civilians, what do you want to do? ”

"The responsibility is really on me this time, I was impulsive, and I am willing to take all the responsibility."

Xiang Yu didn't defend himself, now he just explained that it was useless, and besides, there was no need for him to explain in front of Guo Jia.

"Just impulsive?"

Guo Jia pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Your impulse has made all your previous efforts come to naught, do you know?" ”

"So serious?"

Xiang Yu finally realized the seriousness of the matter, his brows furrowed, and asked, "Is there a way to remedy it?" ”

Xiang Yu is willing to admit his mistakes, but it doesn't mean that he will bear the price, especially the loss of the inheritance of the yellow turban recognized by Zhang Jiao, which is still the root of all his efforts, and he must not allow failure.

Guo Jia did not respond directly, but asked rhetorically: "If there is no way to remedy it." What would you do? Defected from the Yellow Turban and went it alone? ”

"I don't know."

Xiang Yu didn't answer directly, but said an ambiguous answer, but Guo Jia knew that he would definitely do it.

Xiang Yu is not a yellow nest. Because of Xiang Yan, his roots in the Yellow Turban are very deep, and even if he betrays the Yellow Turban, he will have many followers, of course, many of them can be more than ordinary anti-kings.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, and he said, "General Xiang, that kind of unrealistic idea, I advise you to forget it as soon as possible." If you really go that far, not to mention your current subordinates, even General Xiang Yan may not necessarily support you. ”

The Yellow Turban is an army that integrates military and education, and Zhang Jiao is not only a military leader for the Yellow Turban soldiers, but also a spiritual belief.

So it was naturally impossible for the Yellow Turban soldiers to betray their faith.

And the biggest reason why there has not been a rebellion against the king so far is because they know that not many people will leave with them willingly, so it is better to follow the yellow scarf.

Xiang Yan and Zhang Jiao are best friends, he is not as ambitious as Xiang Yu, and although he hopes that Xiang Yu can inherit Zhang Jiao's position, the premise is that it does adopt a normal way, and he will definitely not agree with the way of rebellion.

After thinking of this, Xiang Yu immediately fell into despair and said, "Don't worry, I won't betray the yellow scarf." ”

Guo Jia felt that the time was almost up, and immediately said: "Actually, it's not that there is no way to make up for it, it's just ......"

Xiang Yu suddenly came to his senses and asked eagerly, "Just what?" ”

"I just need General Xiang, you to take the initiative to give up your willingness to inherit the Yellow Turban to the great sage and good teacher."

"What?"

Xiang Yu's color changed, he finally defeated the Yellow Nest and became the first successor of the Yellow Turban, but now Guo Jia asked him to give up, Xiang Yu naturally couldn't accept it.

Seeing Xiang Yu's reaction, Guo Jia immediately explained: "Giving up on the surface is just to let the great sages and good teachers see your sincere attitude of admitting your mistakes, only in this way will things turn around."

"But ......"

Xiang Yu was still a little unwilling, but Guo Jia didn't give him a chance to continue.

"What if the general doesn't give up on his own initiative? If the great sage and good teacher don't agree with you, you will be useless, general. ”

Hearing this Yu's face, he knew that Zhang Jiao's temperament was relatively soft, and if he really saw that he sincerely repented, he should give himself another chance.

"If I give up voluntarily, will the great sage and good teacher really think that I am truly repentant?" Xiang Yu asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course not, you still need a layer of insurance to be foolproof."

"Double insurance?" Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Guo Jia was thinking.

"If my prediction is correct, if you don't take the initiative to admit your mistake this time, I'm afraid the great sage and good teacher will try to seize your military power."

Xiang Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and Guo Jia continued when he saw this:

"And if you have a good attitude of repentance, in order to continue to test you, the great sage and good teacher will definitely give you the opportunity to continue to lead the army, and then you only need to take the initiative to ask for orders to attack Jingzhou, so as to regain the trust of the great sage and good teacher, and also firmly grasp the military power in your hands, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone."

"But if you go to attack Jingzhou, doesn't it mean that you miss the biggest credit for capturing the Chang'an Imperial Court?" Xiang Yu hesitated.

"The next step will definitely be a tug-of-war, and it won't end so easily, so it's better to leave Sizhou, the land of right and wrong, so as to get the credit of other places.

And taking the initiative to leave the central government will also make people feel that you really want to stay away from strife, and it can show your remorse attitude towards the general, of course, it is best to take the initiative to ask General Rengong to be your lieutenant. ”

"Zhang Liang? Why look for him? ”

"Because there is a general supervising you, the great sage and good teacher can let the general go south with peace of mind."

After listening to all of Guo Jia's analysis, the more Xiang Yu thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and Zhang Jiao was completely disappointed in himself.

Only this way of retreating can we redeem our image in Zhang Jiao's heart.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Yu naturally went decisively to admit his mistake, looking at the background where Xiang Yu left, Guo Jia muttered to himself:

"Brother Qin, I have already done everything I can do, and now Xiang Yu has taken the bait, as for whether Zhang Liang can hang Zhang Liang or not, it depends on luck. And the task of completely burying the yellow scarf will be handed over to you, Brother Qin. ”1.
