Chapter Eighty-Six: Guo Jia's Conspiracy, Liu Xie's Guess!
Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, is a member of the Han family, and is also a famous man in the world, with the reputation of Jingxiang Eight Horses.
At that time, Jingzhou bandits were troubled and people's hearts were unstable, Liu Biao rode into the city, and with the help of the Kuailiang and Kuaiyue brothers, he quickly won the support of the local scholars and the army.
Later, Liu Biao used thunderous means to quell the rebellion in Jingzhou, vigorously develop the people's livelihood, and among the thirteen states of the devastated Han Dynasty, Jingzhou is one of the few pure land of bliss.
For the loyalty of the Han family, Liu Biao is also remarkable, when Liu Xiedong fled to Chang'an, there were two people to help and donate materials.
One of them was Zhang Yang, the Taishou of the Shangdang, while the other was Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou.
"If Liu Biao is also willing to crusade against Yuan Shu, then Your Majesty doesn't need to make too much effort to recover the land of Huainan."
Diao Chan's idea is actually right, but she doesn't know much about Liu Biao.
When the princes discussed Dong, the princes from all walks of life were passionate, but Liu Biao did not participate in Jingzhou.
In history, when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, Liu Biao did not save him, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle against Guandu, and he did not save him.
Although Liu Biao is quite talented, the evaluation of him in the history books is more "self-controlled".
The so-called "self-defense" is to ensure the tranquility of a state, and there is no intention to fight in the world.
In this crusade against Yuan Shu, whether Liu Biao will send troops, Liu Xie is actually not sure.
Nominally, Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven, but the control of Jingzhou is in the hands of Liu Biao, and whether he will send troops depends on his loyalty.
It's just loyalty, in this troubled world, it's not worth anything at all, and the clan may not be reliable.
After returning to the palace, Liu Xie summoned Jia Xu and Xun Yu to discuss countermeasures, and told them that Yuan Shu was going to be emperor in the first month of the next year.
Then asked the two of them how likely they were to send troops to assist if they crusade against Yuan Shu and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.
"Liu Biao has a good reputation and is a clan, so he should not resist His Majesty's will."
"Moreover, three years ago, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Jingzhou, but he was blocked by Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, and Sun Jian died in battle."
"Yuan Shu and Sun Jian have mutual dislikes, Your Majesty can send a lobbyist to Jingzhou, and this matter may be completed."
Jia Xu analyzed.
Liu Xie bowed his head slightly and praised: "If it is really as Wenhe said, then Liu Biao can indeed be used by me." ”
"Your Majesty, this matter may not be so simple."
At this time, Xun Yu suddenly said in a deep voice, and Liu Xiehe and Jia Xu hurriedly looked over.
Fang Cai Jia Xu is just analyzing, but in terms of the degree of understanding of the scholar clan and clan relatives, no one can compare to Xun Yu.
Immediately afterwards, Xun Yu took out a letter from his arms, handed it forward, and said: "This is a secret letter from Xun Yu, the nephew of the minister, and I also ask Your Majesty and Mr. Jia to look at it." ”
"Xun Yu Xun Gongda!"
"It's that one who is a few years older than Ling Jun, although he looks honest, but he is full of scheming, and he once helped Situ Wang Yun kill Dong Zhuo!"
Liu Xie and Jia Xu were both interested, and hurriedly took the secret letter.
In history, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncles and nephews are all world-renowned geniuses, Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuo, and Xun Yu paints twelve strange strategies.
On the letter, Xun You said: "Cao Cao was depressed in Chang'an, but after Guo Jia arrived, Cao Cao swept away the decadence and began to regroup. ”
"Your Majesty sits on Guanzhong, Sili, Yan, Xu and other places, and intends to recover Huainan, Liangzhou in the west, and Jingxiang in the south, so you must guard against it."
"Cao Cao reuses Guo Jia, the way to break the situation may be in the land of these two states, Uncle can advise Your Majesty, be careful."
After reading the content of the letter, Liu Xie couldn't help but praise again, Xun Yu deserved to be the mastermind of the world, and he read it really carefully.
It's just that I didn't expect Cao Cao's house to be. invited Guo Jia out of the mountain, at this time in history, Guo Jia should still be an otaku in his hometown.
"Your Majesty, the minister and Guo Jia are fellow villagers, this person is full of wisdom and calculations, and he can be more above the drama talent, Cao Cao invited Guo Jia out of the mountain, like a tiger with wings, you must guard against it."
Xun Yu said worriedly.
"What Wen Ruo said is that I also know how powerful this person is."
"It's just that Cao Cao has Guo Jia's help, and I don't also have Xun Gongda's reminder?"
"Cao Cao wants to break the situation now, and there are indeed only two places to choose from, Liangzhou and Jingzhou."
"Liangzhou has Ma Teng to take precautions, and Chang'an has Zhang Liao's 50,000 troops, so I don't worry about it here."
Speaking of this, Liu Xie's eyes lit up, "If something happens in Jingzhou, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble." ”
Jingzhou seems to be singing and dancing, a harmonious scene, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.
The biggest problem lies in the establishment of the prince, according to the patriarchal system, the eldest son Liu Qi should be established, but the second son Liu Cong was born to Liu Biao's wife Cai.
Mrs. Cai's brother Cai Mao also controlled the naval army in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was able to win over the Shi clan at the beginning, and he also had half of the Cai family's credit.
Now that the prince is clear, how can Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao, the two brothers and sisters, be at ease?
With Guo Jia's ability, wouldn't it be easier to make a bad deal out of it?
In history, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle against Guandu, fearing that Sun Ce would attack from the rear, but Guo Jia threatened that Sun Ce would kill heroes in Jiangdong, and he would die at the hands of assassins.
Sure enough, Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong's disciples.
Although it is a divine prophecy, if it is said that there is no participation of Guo Jia here, Liu Xie will never believe it.
The thing I am most worried about now is Sun Ce's matter, which is staged in Jingzhou.
Liu Biao may be a loyal minister, but Cai Mao is definitely not!
"Your Majesty, if Guo Jiazhi is in Jingzhou, if there is any change, it will be extremely unfavorable to us."
"Now the plan is not to quickly summon Liu Biao to Xudu."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice, if Liu Biao is a loyal minister, then he will definitely come, if so, Guo Jia's plan will also fail.
There are many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods under Liu Biao's command, but he can still hold on.
Liu Xie shook his head and said, "Although Jingzhou is the thoroughfare of the world, my goal is not entirely here. ”
"Last time, although Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses in Wancheng, he still had 60,000 Qingzhou troops under his command, and this army was the elite of the world and must be removed."
Liu Xie's gaze flashed with a hint of coldness, compared to Liu Biao and Jingzhou, Cao Cao is the biggest threat, not to mention that Guo Jia has also come out of the mountain now.
"And what does Your Majesty mean?"
Jia Xu and Xun Yu asked in a deep voice, they had a bold idea of what Liu Xie thought.
And very bold.
"If Cao Cao and Guo Jia really do anything in Jingzhou, Cai Mao and his ilk want to make Liu Cong their heir, and it is very likely that they will be used."
"Then Liu Biao's life is the biggest obstacle, if he wants to come to Xudu, he can only solve the temporary troubles, not a long-term plan once and for all."
"It's better for us to plan and lure the snake out of the hole!"
After speaking, Jia Xu and Xun Yu were silent, this plan is indeed bold, Liu Xie has decided that Liu Biao's heir is undecided, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia are not very human, and they will definitely be laid out in Jingzhou.
Although there is Xun You's persuasion as evidence, but now the information is not careful enough, and letting Liu Biao come to Xu Du is the safest plan, but His Majesty obviously wants to play a bigger game.
"Your Majesty, how should we act in your opinion?"
Jia Xu and Xun Yu asked.
"I personally went to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao secretly, and asked him to cooperate with my generals to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao!"
After Liu Xie finished speaking, Jia Xu and Xun Yu were stunned, although Liu Biao is a clan, he is also a warlord, and it is important to say whether he is loyal or traitorous, Your Majesty has gambled so much!
