Chapter 519: Preemptive Strike

Liu Pan escorted Guo Jia and his party to Xiangyang, Liu Biao led the city Chinese Wu out of the city for ten miles to greet him, Guo Jia passed on the intention of the Son of Heaven and added Liu Biao as the hussar general, and his eldest son Liu Qi was Jiangxia Taishou, and after Liu Biao received the order to thank him, he invited Guo Jia and his party to the palace to drink and feast, and all the civil and military officers were accompanied.

During the banquet, Liu Biao did not mention at all that Liu Yi had anything to do with Guo Jia to come, but just blindly praised the general's exploits for the Han family, and then asked about the governance and business affairs of Youzhou, and his attitude was extremely polite. Feng Xiao knew in his heart that this was a way to capture the old and indulge, so he also talked to him with great interest, most of these things were his personal experience, which was quite exciting, coupled with Feng Xiao's eloquence, what he said was that the flow of water was exciting, so that the original unintentional civil and military cadres gradually listened to the interest, since Feng Xiao learned that Xun Wenruo was also coming to Xiangyang, he made up his mind to take the rear, Liu Biao didn't bother to say that he didn't bother to say, before coming Liu Yi had to let him improvise.

"Listen to Guo Shaofu's words, I know that the battle of the wolf is so tragic, this Huns from the founding of the Han Dynasty is a great disaster on the frontier, that is, if Wei Huo can only be defeated and can not accept it, General Liu can actually break his soldiers, pit his pawns, and make him bow down to the ministers, worthy of being my famous Han general, and Guo Shaofu imitates the exquisite plan of Tian Dan's fire ox back then, and today I heard the words of the king, it should be worthwhile!" Hearing Guo Jia talk in detail about the defeat of the Huns in World War II, Liu Biao couldn't help but praise it.

"The words of the lord are yes, the general Ping Wuhuan and Ding Xiongnu back then, and the sweep of Goguryeo is indeed a miracle, and it can be an example for my Han man!" Kuai Liang also said, and the rest of Kuai Yue Yi and others didn't say anything, even Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others who didn't want to get along with Liu Yi also admired it! This is the war between nations, killing the enemy for the country, and the soldiers who open up the frontier and remote areas can always be respected enough, and only on such a battlefield can the true value of the soldiers be reflected.

"On that day, the lord ordered to kill 30,000 Hun soldiers, and later there were quite a few people in the court who recognized themselves as high, and said that the general ignored my Han Dynasty's bearing, but the general said that a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye is the only way to deal with foreign races, and he was not afraid of Liu to kill until he was terrified! It is not too late to show his sincerity after surrendering, and the Son of Heaven is also applauding the case, looking at the situation of the Huns today, you will know that what the general said that day is true! Guo Jia continued.

"Okay, that's right, the general is really full of pride, the so-called non-my race will have a different heart, you have to return a tooth for a tooth to make his heart convinced, those rotten words talk about benevolence and righteousness, it is not enough to take it." Cai Mao said excitedly when he heard this, everyone is a front when it comes to treating foreign races.

"Hahaha, today I heard the words of Liu Zhijun and you, you will know that you and the general are like-minded, the general has words, I dare to use the power of one person to Dingzhou Anjun is the only one person Liu Zhijun has one ear, Jingxiang around the famous people are like clouds, heroes have come out, Jia is insightful, Shang Rong respects you a bottle, a little heart." Guo Jia laughed when he heard this, and stood up to toast everyone with a wine bottle.

Everyone will not refuse, but after drinking the wine, they came back to the taste, obviously they wanted this person to ask for the first invitation, so that Jingzhou could take the initiative, who knew that he was the same enemy as he led the topic to the other race, and now it seems to be true as Guo Fengxiao said Jing Xiang and Liu Langsheng are like-minded, no wonder he can be famous for Liu Yi's henchmen, just this question of agility and adaptability is beyond people's reach!

"Fengxiao, now among my brothers in the Han clan, how old is the cousin, Xuande is second, Langsheng is like a Japanese party at this time, I don't know how the house is, what are the heirs?" Liu Biaoxin said that he couldn't let this Guo Fengxiao improvise any longer, and smiled slightly, and asked about Liu Yi's family affairs.

"The general has six sons and one daughter, the eldest son Huan is born by Mrs. Yu'er, now thirteen years old, the general of the battle of Jizhou personally led the elite and Yuan Shao's army to fight in Liyang, the eldest son once went into battle, the family is called brave and fatherly, the second son letter is out of the wife, and the rest of the three ladies of Zhen, Mi and Qin also gave birth to four sons for the lord, and the only woman is out of Mrs. Xian'er, and the lord loves like a treasure." Guo Jia also talked to Liu Biao in detail when he heard this.

"Hehe, Langsheng is a hero, there are many heirs, it is normal for him to love this daughter, and it is human nature to listen to Fengxiao's words that the eldest son is worthy of being a general, and he is already so heroic at a young age, just here, it is better than me and so on." Liu Biao's expression between his words was quite emotional.

"Liu Yuanjun is too humble, is this matter the only general? It is often heard that the eldest son Qi and the youngest son Cong are all intelligent, and now the eldest prince has been named the Jiangxia Taishou by the Son of Heaven, who can win this honor in the Han Dynasty? It shows that the gentleman has a strict family style on weekdays and teaches his children well! Guo Jia said that Liu Biao wanted to talk to him about him, but he did not refuse to come, and accepted it calmly.

"The dog is blunt, should not be praised for filial piety, I have heard for a long time that the people's livelihood is stable under the rule of Langsheng, the Quartet is rich, and the national capital Beiping is the first prosperous place of my big Han, I am not fortunate to be able to see it in person, today please first observe my Jingzhou song and dance as hospitality, come!" Liu Biao is slightly humble, at this time Liu Cong is still young, Liu Biao is strong, there is no dispute between the young and the old, although the words are humble but there is also a sense of joy, after he spoke, he walked into a team of singers outside the hall, which is also a very common etiquette between the Han Dynasty ministers' banquets.

Jingxiang nine counties to be a rich land, all walks of life are also more prosperous than the rest of the states, now these women are not twenty-eight years old, the description is lovely, between the gestures is more amorous circulation, pleasing to the eye! Guo Jiaxin said that Liu Biao would not talk about business with himself today, so he also concentrated on watching the singing and dancing of his Jingzhou beauties, and applauded from time to time.

Everyone watched from the sidelines, and saw that Guo Jia looked intoxicated, and there was no concern on his face, this calmness and patience made people quite heartbroken, and no matter why he came, just this conversation and knowledge made people feel that it was a pleasure to make friends with him!

After the banquet, Liu Biao sent someone to send Guo Jia and his party back to the post house to rest, and discussed with the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao for a while, and decided to treat each other with courtesy first, and then make plans after Cao Cao's envoy arrived.

"Looking at the shape of Yuanzhi, there must be something to ask, you and I are entrusted by the lord to come to Jingxiang, everything should be discussed properly, and there is no need to have any scruples." Guo Xu and the two arrived at the post house, Liu Yun arranged to guard the surroundings, before leaving, Liu Yi repeatedly explained, even at this time he will not have the slightest relaxation, Guo Jia saw Xu Shu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but smile and said, in his eyes, Xu Yuanzhi, who is optimistic about the lord, is indeed a talent that can be created, and it can be seen from the fact that he and Gan Ning sent troops together with Jigu this time, and he does not want him to have any constraints because of his seniority and status.

"Military advisor, the lord asked me to wait to come in order to marry Jing Xiang to Cao Cao, now if Yanzhou Xunwen is not coming, why doesn't the military advisor speak clearly to Liu Yuanjun today, so as to gain the effect of taking the lead?" Xu Shu no longer hesitated when he heard this, he had been thinking about it on the way, although he knew that Guo Jiading had something to think about, but the responsibilities he had to make him understand.

"Yuan Zhi's words are not bad, as the saying goes, the first striker, the last striker is controlled by others, but today's situation is different, looking at Liu Jingsheng's state is to let me wait for the first place, but he can take the lead, Jing Xiang and all the civil and military forces are present at the banquet, Yuan Zhi may see what he wants?" Guo Jia was only halfway through his words, and then asked Xu Shu again, when he talked to everyone, he seemed to be unintentional, but in fact, he observed very carefully, and he also had a rough grasp of the psychology of everyone in the field.

"From the point of view of Shu, the two adults of Zirou and Yidu and a cadre of Wenchen have a good impression of the lord, and there are many directions in their words, and although Cai Degui and the other generals praise the lord based on their hostility, their words and deeds do not seem to want to be friendly with me." Xu Shu also replied after a little thought when he heard this, his thoughts at the banquet were no different from Guo Jia's, and he was also extremely attentive to the hidden meaning in the eyes of everyone.

"The trouble of the lord, Cao Cao, Liu Zhijun's trouble, also Cao Cao, but he is also different from this trouble, although our army has to recuperate after settling Jizhou, but there are three generals and nearly 200,000 elites in Jizhou, even Cao Mengde will do his best to attack and may not dare to say that he will win, this person has always acted to plan and then move, and will not be sure of this, and our army is currently more than enough to make progress is also a fact, Sizhou has Zhang Zicai 100,000 troops, and there is a tiger prison risk, the attack is worth the loss! Therefore, as far as Cao Cao is concerned, it is the best policy to seize this gap in our army's recuperation and develop forces and then try to turn back and fight. Guo Jiayan said that it was a meal here.

If Cao Mengde wants to expand, Liu Bei Liu Biao must take one of them, the place of the four battles in Xuzhou, and Liu Xuande has always been able to win the hearts of the people, that is, he forcibly takes it and waits for our army to rest and recuperate, and he may not be able to defend it with a blow, so that the rich land of Jingxiang Nine Counties will become his only choice, if it can be broken by it, there will be enough depth to compete with the lord, presumably this person connects Sun Ce is also this intention, the military advisor's trip today does have deep meaning, Xu Shu was taught. Xu Shu saw that he was looking at himself, and he also knew Guo Jia's intentions, so he continued to analyze it, and heard Guo Jia nodding his head in approval again and again, and when he said most of the words, he suddenly moved in his heart, thought of the intentions of the military advisor today, and said again.

"Hehe, Yuan Zhi is talented, the lord praised it on the same day, Jiabi Yuan Zhi is just thankful for the experience, far from needing to be so, just as Yuan Zhi said, no matter how Xun Wenruo comes here, he will not change Cao Mengde's intention to go down Jingxiang, if we wait to show my intention first, I am afraid that Brother Wen Ruo will take advantage of the topic to play, with his talent, I can't say where Liu Zhijun will be biased, it seems that this is not beautiful, now the matter is not in my place, and in Yanzhou and Jingxiang, Liu Jingsheng since he wants to weigh the pros and cons of it and wait and see the changes, this time the latter can control people, Brother Gainwen Ruo can't change Cao Mengde's original intention even if he is like a river, once the situation changes, it is Liu Yuanjun who is anxious, and when he comes to ask me and others, he only needs to show sincerity to get twice the result with half the effort. Guo Jia smiled slightly, looked at Xu Shu with appreciation, and said again, this talent is not under him, but he still lacks experience, but this must be honed before he can benefit.

"So according to the opinion of the military advisor, why should I be in Jingxiang during this time? Don't you wait for Xun Wenruo to come. Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Naturally not, Yuan Zhi's friend Pang Shiyuan's big event is imminent, I heard that he is in Xiangyang City, and there is also the righteousness of being friends between us, and the lord has a generous gift, Shiyuan is not a subordinate of Liu Zhijun and is an old friend with Yuan Zhi, this gift cannot be lost." Guo Jiayan and the two looked at each other and smiled, and there was a tacit understanding in their hearts.
