Gao Ye naturally did not comment on Cao Cao's words. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info himself didn't directly tell Cao Cao that he had the idea of taking refuge in him now. In my own thoughts, I am afraid that as soon as this sentence comes out, it will only be regarded as a joke by Cao Cao, and I just invited Cao Cao to Yingchuan, which is indeed a bit of a hurry.

To tell the truth, it is impossible to be an official and say that he does not want to compete for hegemony with the princes. If you think about it carefully, you now own the whole county of Yingchuan, not only with enough soldiers and food, but also with a large population, but also with the support of various families. Although his reputation is not as good as Yuan Shao's fourth and third dukes, when it comes to Yingchuan Taishou, he is also a famous figure! What's more, he now has Guo Jia and a group of Yingchuan families, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, according to his current equipment, Gao Ye believes that he has the strength to compete for the world!

Now Yuan Shao is just a Bohai Taishou, Cao Cao has no size land, although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses in Huainan, but he himself is not a man of great talent. Sun Jian is about to die, Liu Biaocai entered Jingzhou, and the people are unstable, although his Yingchuan is a place of four wars, but the development space is huge. How about joining the ranks of the princes and fighting for the world?

This idea came together, and it spread like a weed in Gao Ye's heart. His current strength can be said to be one of the best among the princes, and if he takes the lead in annexing the nine counties of Jingxiang, it will not be difficult to think about it. It's just that whether he can get the support of the Jingzhou family is still between the two. But it's always good to have hope!

Since Gao Ye said goodbye to Cao Cao, this idea has been lingering in Gao Ye's heart, although he has the master's admonition, but he thinks that as a future generation, it doesn't hurt to fight for the world, right? As soon as this question was raised, it attracted Zhao Yun's sideways, but he didn't express any opinion, just a sentence I followed my eldest brother, even if it was an expression of his loyalty. However, Guo Jia laughed out loud, shook his head again and again, and said that Gao Ye didn't even remember the master's testament, and he was really carried away by power.

"Fengxiao, it shouldn't be so miserable, I think with my ability, even if it is not impossible to dominate the world."

"Yes, big brother, do you have any plans? Why don't you speak up and let me hear it? Guo Jiaqiang held back a smile and said to Gao Ye.

"Hmm......" Gao Ye couldn't help but close his eyes and ponder, and only said after a while: "Now that I am in Yingchuan, the biggest enemies around me are Yuan Shu in Huainan and Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Xian has only just entered Jingzhou, and his foothold is not stable, so he is not afraid, as long as he divides and wins over his family, he will definitely have no time to look east. With this opportunity, it is not difficult to take Yuzhou and Huainan first, and then Xuzhou and Yanzhou. When the time comes, it should not be a problem for me to bring the power of the four states to fight against Yuan Shao in Hebei. After the unification of Jiangbei, the general trend has been achieved, and the world can be unified. I don't know what Feng Xiao thinks? ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he also entered a state of closed eyes and contemplation. I have to say that Gao Ye's idea is still very practical, first sweep the territory south of the Yellow River, and compete with Yuan Shao, which is definitely not untargeted. Yuan Shao is now in Bohai, so his first target must be Jizhou. The area around Jizhou is vast, the population is large, and the food is sufficient, if Yuan Shao gets here, he will inevitably expand to Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. There is no owner in the state, Qingzhou is incompetent, and it is quite laborious for a Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, so when he pacifies the four states, Gao Ye's plan should also be completed. In this way, it seems that Gao Ye really has a chance!

However, Guo Jia didn't ponder for a long time, but looked up at Gao Ye and said, "The plan is good, but there is one question, who will you send to govern so much land when you have taken down so much land?" ”

"With my current reputation, I think there will be a lot of people who will come to take refuge in the future. Moreover, there are families from all over the world, and they can also be officials. ”

"Alas, big brother, your plan is actually very good, but there is one point, the officials are hard to find. That's right, you can make the children of the family officials, but big brother, haven't you found that the most important thing in your personality is that you can't stand it at all? It is true that we still have many scholars from humble families to use, but the children of the family are the vast majority of officials. What if they join forces to put pressure on you? ”

"This ...... I can back down a little bit......"

"How do you back down? As far as your nature is concerned, if they dare to do this, you will definitely not be able to bear it, yes, you can back down once, but your revenge will definitely follow, and it must be a situation of endless death. I don't know how long it will take to unify the world, you take revenge once, what will those families think in their hearts? Can they still listen to you with peace of mind? If you don't retaliate, then if you quit once, there will be a next time, and in the end, what can you do if you can't bear it anymore? Can you still kill all the families? ”

"This ......"

"Big brother, I know that you are good at everything, but there is one thing, you don't know what balance is, and you don't know where to stop doing something. Let's just say that you were in Yingchuan at that time, and a chamber of commerce forced all the families into a corner, but if it wasn't for me and Wen Ruo trying to persuade you, would you have included them in the chamber of commerce? You simply don't want to. All you think about is how to get revenge on them! Do you think they're finished, and the Xun family will continue to support you? Don't be funny, if only you and their three families are left, they will clean you up in minutes. ”

When Gao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, but then said: "But I still have you by my side, so you will naturally give me good ideas." As a father, wouldn't it be good to be good at making good use of talents? ”

"Big brother, can you please not be so naïve! Now it's just me and Wen Ruo, but in the future, you have a lot of talents, and Wen Ruo and I can still be by your side all the time? Besides, Wen Ruo and I had the same opinion that time, what if the next time we both disagreed to the left? What would you choose? I'm sure you're choosing the one that is right for you, not the right one. At that time, the family will be big, and you will be so many times that you will fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and I will see if you can unify the south of the Yellow River is a problem. ”

Gao Ye was speechless by Guo Jia's words, but Guo Jia didn't let go of Gao Ye's meaning, and then said: "When the time comes, you get a group of families to be officials for you, but they are dissatisfied with you, do you think your territory can be stable?" You're the lord, what can they do if they're dissatisfied with you, of course, they're going to take refuge in someone else. It's very different from when you take refuge in someone else. ”

"Good, good. I can't stand on my own feet, my God, it's the first time I've found you able to say that! Gao Ye really agreed with Guo Jia's words in his heart, he was right, as a courtier, these contradictions are not things that he needs to consider. Everyone is a courtier, and it doesn't matter if there is a conflict, after all, there is a lord above to mediate for everyone. Even if the contradictions reach the point where they cannot be alleviated, no matter what they do, they will not have much impact on the great cause of reunification. If he is the lord, he will be finished, and if he is provoked by that family and sacrifices the butcher's knife, then his rule will collapse in minutes.

It's just that although Gao Ye accepted the reality that he couldn't be the lord, he was still lost in his heart, and he was blind to the good deck of cards in his hand now, and in the final analysis, he still had to make wedding dresses for others.

"Big brother, if you make a wedding dress for someone else, you can at least be a generation of famous ministers and leave your name in history. You have to come by yourself, and in the end you will be defeated, and you will be left with nothing to laugh at. Guo Jia sneered. He also keenly noticed that Gao Ye had basically given up the unrealistic idea just now, and the whole person couldn't help but feel relaxed. To be honest, he was really nervous just now, what if Gao Ye really made up his mind to stand on his own! With his brain that doesn't understand politics, he will even have to follow himself when the time comes, but fortunately, he can still listen to persuasion! But now that the crisis is over, there is no need for me to be nervous anymore, there is such an opportunity to laugh at Gao Ye, but it is too rare, how can I not seize it?

When Gao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Guo Jia playfully, and couldn't help but make Guo Jia's heart tremble, as long as Gao Ye showed this expression, he would be unlucky, did he laugh too much? Oops, just now he used his too careful eyes to dispel his idea of self-reliance, why did he forget it in a blink of an eye!

"Although the words of filial piety made me suddenly, but well, your eldest brother and I are up and down too fast, and I am really tired, and the heavy responsibility of patrolling the camp tonight will be handed over to you."

"Ahh Want me to patrol the camp? Big brother, I'm not a sergeant, and besides, Zilong is ......"

"Eh, Zilong will lead the troops to set off tomorrow, so naturally he has to rest well tonight. Just now, big brother, I found out that Fengxiao, you are very capable, those who can work hard! Over to you, hahahaha! Gao Ye said, laughed and walked forward, Zhao Yun behind Guo Jia also gave Guo Jia a helpless expression, and followed Gao Ye away. As for Guo Jia, he had a bitter face and silently went to patrol the camp.

Gao Ye's men and horses, together with Cao Cao's, set off early the next morning. As for Guo Jia, who didn't sleep all night, he was thrown into the carriage by Gao Ye to let him rest well. Although Gao Ye asked Guo Jia to patrol the camp last night, to be honest, Gao Ye was still very grateful to Guo Jia. If it weren't for his words, I was afraid that I would be going farther and farther on the road to hegemony now. It's still my master's unique vision, saying that I'm not this piece of material, I really can't do it! This has nothing to do with one's own knowledge and knowledge, but one's own character, which is destined to not be able to achieve the highest position.

With Gao Ye's departure, Gongsun Zhan also felt that it was no longer interesting to stay there, so he discussed with Liu Bei and returned to Youzhou together, so that Liu Bei could continue to be his plain minister, which could be regarded as giving Liu Bei a place to settle down. Besides, Youzhou is not the only one in his Gongsun Zhan, there is also a Youzhou pastor Liu Yu in the plain, and Liu Bei in the plain, which can be regarded as a nail in Liu Yu's back.

Just when Gao Ye's people and horses walked near the Changshe, a news that could be regarded as shocking the world spread all over the world: Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, asked Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, to borrow grain, but unsuccessfully, he actually led the army directly into Qiao Mao's military camp, not only killed Qiao Mao, but also surrendered the troops under him. The Shandong coalition forces attacked each other, and it has also kicked off since then!
