March 211 A.D.

Outside the city of Hanzhong.

Cao Cao stood on his horse, proudly looking at the huge Hanzhong City emitting black smoke.

His army was spread across the Hanzhong Plain.

No one can resist his power.

Even Zhang Lu, who has been entrenched in Hanzhong for more than 30 years, can't do it.

At this moment, the colorful flags at the head of the city have fallen and replaced them with white flags.

The Hanzhong soldiers were unarmed and looked at the arrogant enemy outside with a lonely expression.

Squeak, as the gates opened.

Hanzhong's advocate Lu walked out alone, came to Cao Cao's horse, and knelt down: "Hanzhong is willing to surrender to the Ming Gong, and I only hope that the Ming Gong can sympathize with the people of Hanzhong." "Kneel down and submit the household registration.

Cao Cao dismounted, in fact, Cao Cao still admired Zhang Lu very much, because Zhang Lu had been very good to the people for decades, making Hanzhong a rich paradise.

personally helped him up, and said: "Cao must be kind to the public and the soldiers, as well as the people of Hanzhong." ”

Cao Cao seized Hanzhong, and the gloom of losing the Central Plains was gone, and this moment was completely revival of generosity.

Night.

In the city of Hanzhong, Cao Cao feasted on civil and military. The rise of drinking, I couldn't help but chant a poem, "I should be generous, I can't forget my worries, how to solve my worries, only Du Kang!" ”

"Wha......." Cao Cao laughed, looking like he wasn't ordinary happy.

The civil and military are also full of passion.

Guo Jia got up with a drunken feeling and said: "Lord, now the Lord has won Hanzhong, and Yizhou is shaken." It can be attacked quickly, and it is bound to collapse. ”

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and said: "It is difficult for Shu Dao to go to the blue sky, send more troops, and Yuan Tan will definitely attack." If you send fewer troops, you won't be able to open up the situation. ”

"People are not suffering enough, and they have to look back at Shuye?"

He added: "Actually, I have the heart to forge ahead, but now is not the time." ”

"I have the danger of being strong, and the soldiers will use their lives. Even Yuan Tan didn't dare to look sideways. I expected that Yuan Tan would definitely take the southern land first. At that time, I entered Shu again, divided the world with him, and fought to the death. ”

Everyone felt that what Cao Cao said made sense, and they still needed Yuan Tan to move first before they could act.

"Report ......."

At this time, a secret agent came, and it was a secret agent from Xichuan.

The secret agent brought the news, "Enlightening the Lord, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu suddenly mobilized hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers to attack Shuzhong. Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Meng Da and others asked Liu Bei to help in Shu, and Liu Zhang had agreed. ”

"Good! Not good! Cao Cao's face changed with joy and shock.

Originally, when he heard that the Southern Barbarians were in turmoil, Cao Cao thought it was his chance to enter Sichuan, but Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei.

"Liu Zhang lured the wolf into the room, Liu Bei is going to get Shu land!" Cao Cao's face changed drastically.

Guo Jiaxunyu and they figured it out later, and couldn't help but admire Cao Cao's wit.

The spy looked at Cao Cao with adoring eyes and said, "Lord, Shuzhong Huang Quan, Wang Lei and other ministers also think so, they admonished Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang didn't listen. Now Huang Quan is locked up at home by Liu Zhang, and Wang Lei committed suicide. ”

Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, and sighed: "There are many loyal ministers in Shudi, but unfortunately Liu Zhang will not use it, if he uses it, the world will never be in this situation." It's a pity that Liu Zhang's husband was resourceless and unwise, and he failed his father's foundation. ”

Everyone nodded.

You must know that Liu Zhang's strength was the first in the world at the beginning, and it was all left by his father Liu Yan, but it's a pity.

When the princes only had one city, Liu Zhang's army of more than 100,000 did not leave Xichuan. If it comes out, the strong army is the identity of the clan, and the situation is really different.

"Looking at the Han clan relatives, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are the dogs guarding the door, but Liu Bei is the only one who is a hero. If he and the two of them swapped places, the situation in the world would change again. Liu Bei entered Shu this time, and he must have sought his position. Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head, "Liu Bei is really a person who can't be killed." ”

At this time, Guo Jia said again: "My subordinates are willing to enter Shu and remind Liu Zhang to be careful of Liu Bei." If Liu Zhang sees through Liu Bei and invites the lord to enter Shu instead, then our opportunity will come. ”

It seems that Guo Jia has come up with a brilliant strategy in a matter of seconds.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, but worried: "Even if King Huang Quan is tired of these people who have served Liu Zhang for decades, they can't persuade him, how can Feng Xiao persuade him?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Liu Zhang has not dared to take a step out of Xichuan for decades, which shows that he is a weak person. If the lord is weak and the minister is strong, Huang Quan and those people are tough to persuade Liu Zhang. aroused Liu Zhang's rebellious mentality, of course he would not listen to them. Instead, we must use gentle methods to persuade. ”

Cao Cao and others were impressed.

So, Cao Cao sent Guo Jia to Shu.

…………

A few days later.

Guo Jia took Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to Chengdu and was summoned by Liu Zhang.

"Liu Bei is a benevolent elder, and he is still my uncle in terms of seniority. When I was in Jixian County, when I was a child, my conduct was still in my heart. Liu Zhang looked at Guo Jia in front of him very dissatisfied, and couldn't help but remember that he had received a gift from Liu Bei when he was a child.

Liu Zhang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "How can I believe you and not Uncle Huang?" ”

Idiot! Guo Jia scolded secretly, thinking that his father entered Shu back then, because he saw the chaos in the world, and he was too old to fight. came to Shudi, one is to support the elderly, and the other is to leave him a foundation.

His father left him such a big inheritance, and for twenty years, he didn't even take a step here.

But it is precisely because Liu Zhang is a fool that there is a situation in the world today. The thirty-year inheritance of his family was left to my father-in-law.

Guo Jia's face turned pale and said: "What Ming Gong said is very right, I am an outsider, and what I said is indeed not credible." ”

"And yet ......." Guo Jia's words changed.

Liu Zhang had already raised his hand at the moment, and said that he waved his hand and asked the guards to arrest Guo Jia, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to have yet.

"And yet what?" Liu Zhang touched his mustache and said, obviously arousing his curiosity.

Guo Jia said calmly: "However, the heart of harming people must not be there, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable. I expected that Liu Bei would definitely set up a Hongmen banquet, and Ming Gong could leave a way to retreat, so as to prevent Liu Bei from being killed by him after seeing Liu Bei's true face clearly. ”

"Damn!" When Liu Zhang heard that he was going to be killed, he took the case, and the guards around him immediately surrounded Guo Jia, Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan.

However.

Liu Zhang frowned, "I'll think about this." ”

Guo Jia immediately said: "Is it to find someone to discuss, I advise Ming Gong to be careful, Liu Bei can think of such a strategy, there must be an internal response within Ming Gong." ”

He also said: "I heard that Fazheng, Zhang Song and others recommended Liu Bei to enter Shu ....... ”

Liu Zhang's face changed, "Come on, arrest this guy who is bewitching the crowd for me!" ”

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan wants to protect Guo Jia.

Guo Jia instead asked them not to do anything, and was arrested directly, although they were tied up, they did not panic, and said: "Duke Ming, my lord is completely for your good, and we in the northwest and Shu must be sincerely united to be able to fight against Yuan Tan." ”

Liu Zhang waved his hand, and Guo Jia and the others were arrested.
