Chapter 90: Cao Cao meets Guo Jia
A few days later, someone informed Cao Cao's envoy Cheng Yu of his visit, and Zhang Jie felt that he had nothing to do with Cao Cao. What's the matter with Cheng Yulai? This Cheng Yu is also a ruthless person, in history, Cao Cao was short of food, and he ordered people to use human flesh as military food, Zhang Jie himself felt that he couldn't do it.
Cheng Yudao: Meet Ming Gong.
Zhang Jie said: Mr. Zhongde does not need to be polite, Jie heard that Mr. Zhongde had taught in Yingchuan Academy, and Jie had personally visited Mr. Zhongde, but unfortunately he never saw him, which is a pity.
Cheng Yudao: Oh! Ming Gong once went to Yingchuan Academy?
Zhang Jie said: Mr. is not polite, just call me Shimin, Jie has indeed been there. It's just that the academy is closed for the winter. Therefore, I have never met the students of the college. When Shijie was just appointed as the commander of Yecheng County, he wanted to go to the academy to find a few talents, but unfortunately, Shimin was from a low background, and no one wanted to follow Shimin.
Cheng Yudao: Yu never looks at people's background, only based on preferences, Ming Gong can't be arrogant.
Zhang Jiedao: What did Mr. Zhongde come to Yecheng to find Jie?
Cheng Yudao: My father-in-law hopes that Ming Gong can sell us some war horses. Steed? Zhang Jiedao: Jiedao also has some war horses, but there are not many, I don't know how much Brother Meng De wants?
Cheng Yu said with a smile: Ming Gong laughed, Ming Gong Wuhuan won a lot of war horses, and my lord asked me to congratulate Ming Gong. Zhang Jie said in his heart: Mother's Lao Tzu team has zero zero Qi, Cao Cao knows everything.
Zhang Jie said: I got some horses, but Jie is not as good as Brother Meng De, Meng De is dealing with infantry in the Central Plains, and Jie is dealing with alien races, and alien races are basically cavalry, no horses! However, Zhongde spoke, and Jie couldn't help but give Zhongde face. In this way, there is no need to buy it, I will send a thousand horses to Mengde, and let him exchange them for iron.
Cheng Yu didn't expect that Zhang Jie was so generous, and he was directly a thousand war horses, which was really wealthy, but in exchange for pig iron, although Cao Cao's pig iron was not much, it was still easier to get iron than war horses.
Cheng Yudao: Then thank Ming Gong. Zhang Jie said: Zhongde doesn't have to be polite, when I discussed Dong with Brother Meng De, I hit it off at first sight, and some horses are nothing. Or call me Shimin.
Zhang Jie said again: Zhongde, what do you think of aliens?
Cheng Yudao: Didn't Shimin already have a plan?
Zhang Jie said: To be honest, Jie has some plans, but the pressure is also quite high, and I don't know how long it will take to realize it.
Cheng Yudao: Although Yu doesn't know how Shimin plans to treat other races, judging from Shimin's means of dealing with Wuhuan, Shimin plans to do it once and for all!
Zhang Jie smiled: You can't hide anything from Zhongde. Yes, Jie is planning to do it once and for all, does Zhong De think Jie is doing the right thing?
Cheng Yu is also a ruthless person. Dao: Yu thinks that the people of the world just need to do it, it doesn't matter what others say, let history comment on some rights and wrongs!
Zhang Jie said: Zhongde's words are great and good, and Jie has been taught. It's a pity, if you had known Zhongde earlier, Jie would have listened to the teachings as a disciple every day. Cheng Yu didn't expect Zhang Jie to value him so much, although he had already voted for Cao Cao and couldn't vote for Zhang Jie again, he was still pleased.
At this time, Yingchuan Yang Zhai, Guo Jia's house was coming to two guests, one was Cao Cao and the other was Xun Yu.
Cao Cao said: I heard that Mr. Fengxiao is at home today, and I came to disturb him, and I forgot Mr. Forgive me. Guo Jiadao: Ming Gong is polite, Jia and Wen Ruo even make friends, today Ming Gong and Wen Ruo are visiting is Jia's blessing, please take a seat.
After the three of them knelt down, Cao Cao said: Today is a big chaos and the Han room is restless, the chaos and the giant thief are in charge, and the Son of Heaven is affected. Cao wants to declare righteousness in the world and assist the Son of Heaven to support the community. However, the intelligence is short, and Mr. Wen is very talented, so he is willing to ask Mr. to go out of the mountain to help, and hope that Mr. will give the world a good plan to help the community.
Guo Jiadao: Jiayi's poor scholar is so stupid that he dares to talk about the world's major affairs with Ming Gong.
Xun Yu said: Feng Xiaoxiu should be humble, wouldn't it be a pity to waste time at home with your talents?
Guo Jiadao: I don't know if Ming Gong's next step is to use troops against Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu? Cao Cao said: It is not yet decided, I would like to ask Mr. to teach me.
Guo Jiadao: In Jia's opinion, it is best to use troops against Nanyang first, I heard that Zhang Ji died, and now Nanyang is under the management of Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, Nanyang is so close to Xuchang, can Ming Gong rest assured that Zhang Xiu will occupy it? Cao Cao said: Mr. Gao Jiancao plans to use troops in Nanyang after the spring of next year.
In Jiazhi's opinion, after the Ming Duke took Nanyang, he could form an alliance with Liu Biao, although Nanyang belonged to Jingzhou, as long as the Ming Gong occupied it, Liu Jingsheng would not dare to attack, but he would do his best to prevent the Ming Gong from going south
The alliance between the Duke of Ming and Liu Biao can calm his heart, and then he will deal with Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu has many soldiers, but the soldiers are uneven, lack of training, and do not sympathize with the people, so that the people of Huainan are miserable, even if there are more soldiers, what is the use?
If you can win Yuan Shu, and then fight Yuan Shao, you can win, otherwise it will be difficult to attack Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao won Xuzhou's strength after the great Zeng, Xuzhou family is also mostly in the heart, such as Ming Gong attack Xuzhou, it may be difficult to solve quickly. But Jia thought that Yuan Shao would not be Ming Gong's opponent in the end, and would be defeated by Ming Gong. It's just that Jia thinks that Ming Gong's biggest opponent is Zhang Jie.
Hehe, Zhang Jie has seen this person Jia, frankly Jia admires this person very much, if it wasn't for his youth at the time, Jia is afraid that he would have been in Hebei!
Oh! Xun Yu became interested and said: Fengxiao has seen Zhang Jie? Guo Jiadao: A few years ago, when Jia was studying at Yingchuan Academy, he came to see Jia. At that time, Emperor Xiaoling was still there, and he thought that the emperor's life would be short, and he calculated that Dong Zhuo would be in chaos.
Xun Yudao: How does he know this? Guo Jiadao: At that time, Zhang Jie was named the Yecheng County Commander by the Son of Heaven, and he went to the Telai Academy to summon his staff, but unfortunately no one answered the call for the suspension of the academy in winter. Zhang Shimin met the Son of Heaven before taking office, and he should have seen that the Son of Heaven was not long in life.
Xun Yu said: He should want to summon Fengxiao. Guo Jia said with a smile: Jia resigned because he didn't finish his studies.
But in Jia's opinion, this person is scheming, very powerful, Jizhou County has so many orders, but why he can step by step to today, this is a human plan.
Now that Zhang Jie's power is successful, the Ming Duke must not compete with him first, but he can first form a bond to stabilize Zhang Jie, and then plot the Yuan brothers to unify the Central Plains Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, and Sizhou. Only then can he fight Zhang Jie. However, even if the four states are unified, Ming Gong only has a forty percent chance of winning. Because of the lack of horses in the Central Plains. And if Zhang Jie can exterminate the alien race, it will definitely be 100,000 iron horsemen going south, and there are many plains in the Central Plains, so Jia thinks that there is only a forty percent chance of winning.
If the decisive battle in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty can not be done or there is a decline, it is necessary to send heavy troops to take Shangyong and then take Hanzhong as the foundation, Hanzhong has a population of millions, the people are abundant, although Zhang Lu has tens of thousands of people, but he is not good at military affairs, but he can fight down, Ming Gong can get Hanzhong to tie Liu Biao outside, and collect heavy troops to take Yizhou directly, Yizhou is the country of abundance. Rich is no less than Jizhou, enough to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and then Yizhou out of Qinchuan, trying to Guanzhong, if God blesses the Ming Gong, it can become a strong Qin, if it is impossible to do anything, you can also retreat to protect yourself.
Cao Cao was thrilled by Guo Jia's words. This is a great talent, think about the back road, first gather the strength of the Central Plains and fight Zhang Jie, if you lose, then take Hanzhong, take Yizhou, and block the cavalry with mountains and rivers.
Xun Yu said: What if you take Guanzhong first? Guo Jiadao: Now that the people in Guanzhong are not two out of ten, refugees everywhere, what is the use of taking it? If you attack Guanzhong, Yuan Shao must try Yanzhou, and Ming Gongxi will deal with Li Dao Guo Yan, the east will deal with Yuan Shao, and the south will defend against Yuan Shu. Therefore, Jia thinks that if you don't take the granary of Hanzhong, you will have no money and grain to support the soldiers and you won't be able to enrich the people, so what's the use? Not only can he not strengthen himself, but he will make enemies everywhere, and Zhang Jie will not watch Ming Gong take Guanzhong, this person has a very accurate vision and will not sit idly by.
