Chapter 8 The Princes of One Party
Guo Jia's Xu Chu Dianwei and the two generals worked together to fight with Lu Bu to a draw, and then Zhang Yan forced Lu Bu to flee in the wilderness, hoping that others would see that this victory was not martial, but Guo Jia disagreed, the duel between the two armies has never been fair, otherwise Lu Bu would not be able to escape at all, because the war horse Red Rabbit under his crotch is the best in the world.
After Lu Bu fled for his life and went back, he was furious, but he was indeed defeated and came back, so he had to hang his head and remain silent.
The raised hand never waved, Dong Zhuo's mind was intertwined with the thoughts of fighting and not fighting, but seeing the neat and high-spirited appearance of the soldiers behind Guo Jia, he suppressed the anger in his heart and spit out a sentence stiffly.
"Guo Jia, do you have to fight me today?"
After Zhang Yan, Dian Wei, and Xu Chusan went back, Guo Jia's stern expression on the flaming horse became a little more relaxed.
"Taishi, I said, you give me thirty percent of Luoyang wealth, and then send a family to me, and I will leave with the troops immediately."
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Who do you want?" ”
"Mr. and Mrs. Cai Yong."
Guo Jia's answer made Dong Zhuo and Li Ru stunned.
They didn't expect that the person Guo Jia wanted was Cai Yong, and according to their previous guesses, they thought that Guo Jia would ask for the Son of Heaven, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not be angry and ordered Lu Bu to take off Guo Jia's head.
The Son of Heaven is Dong Zhuo's talisman, and if he really wants to snatch the Son of Heaven from Dong Zhuo, it is equivalent to asking for his life.
Since it was Cai Yong's family, Dong Zhuo had no opinion, and ordered someone to invite Cai Yong and his wife out of the family of hundreds of officials behind the army.
had already known that the person who led the troops to block the road was Guo Jia, and when Cai Yong and his wife were pushed to the front of the battle, they both looked hated when they saw the enemy.
"Taishi, the old man doesn't want to go with him, Taishi might as well kill the old man now."
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, Guo Jia is not even a rebellious minister, he is an out-and-out thief, Cai Yong's generation of Confucianism, and he is the object of his great efforts, unless it is absolutely necessary, Dong Zhuo does not want to drive Cai Yong away, but now his own life is compared with Cai Yong, and he can only sacrifice Cai Yong.
Maybe everyone thinks that Cai Yong and Guo Jia have a mortal enmity, and Cai Yong is asked for revenge at this moment.
After all, after Cai Yong's daughter was exiled to the northwest, the news of her death in the wilderness came in less than two months, and Cai Yong and his wife didn't even have a chance to collect their daughter's body.
The culprit who led to the tragedy was Guo Jia, ninety percent of the people in the world thought that Guo Jia raped Cai Yan and made Cai Yan pregnant.
Riding a horse slowly came to Dong Zhuojun, Guo Jia was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's daring to move, now that the two sides have reached a consensus and started to negotiate conditions, then rash attacks will only push the situation in a bad direction.
"Master Cai, I don't care if you believe it or not, I want you to go with me because I want your wife and daughter to reunite."
After saying this, Guo Jia turned his horse's head and walked back, but turned around and whispered: "I have a son named Guo Ye, according to blood, he is your grandson." ”
Cai Yong was dumbfounded, although he still had doubts in his heart, he already believed eight points, because he knew his weight, Guo Jia wanted to kill him, and he had the opportunity to draw his sword just now.
When the lady next to her heard that Cai Yan was still alive and gave birth to a son, her shock and excitement were all written on her face, but she couldn't urge Cai Yong to go with Guo Jia, so she had to pull Cai Yong's clothes aggrievedly and timidly.
With a long sigh, Cai Yong hung his head and walked with his wife to Guo Jiajun.
After Cai Yong and his wife entered the cavalry team, Guo Jia said to Dong Zhuo again: "Taishi, Sancheng Luoyang wealth, according to my Malay report, you have transported hundreds of carts of wealth from Luoyang, so let's do it, I only need a hundred carts." How is it? ”
Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger, his fists were already trembling, and Li Ru on the side saw that he was still hesitating, so he couldn't help but speak: "Taishi, money and foreign things, if you fight, will the loss of soldiers be comparable to a hundred carts of money?" ”
Dong Zhuo also thought of this, but he was unwilling, he wanted to resist the Kwantung Coalition Army according to the danger of Kuihan, but he didn't expect that he would be planted here first.
"Guo Jia, if you break your promise, even if Dong is buried here today, he will fight with you to break the net."
Looking at Dong Zhuo's enduring anger, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Taishi, think about it, I got a hundred carts of money, and if I fight with you again, then why don't I fight you directly, wouldn't it be better to ambush?" ”
It makes sense, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru agreed with Guo Jia's statement, so they ordered their subordinates to escort 100 carts of money to Guo Jia.
When the soldiers were busy, Dong Zhuo looked up at the forested Kunshan Mountain, and asked Guo Jia in a loud voice: "Guo Jia, your tens of thousands of troops, will you stay in Guanzhong in the future?" ”
Li Ru was also very jealous of this, if Guo Jia hid in Guanzhong, it would be a huge hidden danger after all, and he stared at Guo Jia with a solemn expression to see if he had any reply.
Guo Jia said with a relaxed smile on his face: "Taishi, in this way, I will give you an idea, the four major Xiongguan Gongwei in the southeast, southeast and northwest of Guanzhong, you already have a strong general in Hangu Pass, and you will send someone to guard the other three dangerous passes after you go to Chang'an, and then the strong wall is clear, if I am in Guanzhong, sooner or later I will not attack myself." If the Taishi is troublesome, he will recruit a large army after entering Chang'an, and it will be easy to exterminate the forces in Guanzhong. As long as I don't have a foothold in the city, no one can snatch it from the Taishi, right? ”
Dong Zhuo, who squinted his eyes and was shocked, also knew that what Guo Jia said made sense, so he didn't ask anymore.
As for where Guo Jia will go in the future, Dong Zhuo doesn't care, if he is still entrenched in Guanzhong, then he will make plans after he arrives in Chang'an.
Sitting in the carriage and watching the soldiers escort the carriage forward, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had already bitten his lip.
"Rebel thief, rebel thief. Guo Jia, you, you are defeated! ”
Dong Zhuo is a chaotic minister, Guo Jia is a thief, and a chaotic minister and thief almost suffocated Liu Xie.
At this moment, Liu Xie finally understood why Guo Jia didn't help him back then, Liu Xie thought that Guo Jia had already had a rebellious heart!
Now that there is Guo Jia, who is a strong general, Liu Xie knows that it will never be possible to let this person work for him.
After the delivery of the hundred carts of wealth, Dong Zhuo said to Guo Jialang: "Guo Jia, what you want, Dong has already given it to you, and you don't want to lead the troops away?" ”
Looking up at the sky, as if hesitating about something, Guo Jia finally showed a kind smile.
"Master Dong, thank you, there will be no time in the future."
At the moment when Guo Jia turned the horse's head, a mutation protruded.
An earth-shattering sound came from Kunshan Mountain, and Dong Zhuo and the others looked up, and they were suddenly shocked.
I saw countless huge trees rolling down from the top of the mountain, although they were not coming towards the army, but they rumbled and blocked the way forward.
The giant trees were staggered and piled up in front of him, and Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted at Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, you dare to break the contract? Don't you think that I, Dong Zhuo, really dare not meet you with the sword? ”
Guo Jia, who was turning around and leaving, turned around, looked at a team of 2,000 people coming down from the high slope on the mountain, led the horse back in front of Gao Shun's command, and then looked at Dong Zhuo, Guo Jia smiled lightly: "Master Dong, as you can see, there are only 2,000 of my soldiers on this mountain, and behind me, there are only 3,000. It adds up to 5,000 soldiers and horses, and now come up to fight me, the Taishi will definitely wipe out my entire army. ”
After saying that, Guo Jia looked up to the sky and smiled, turned around and left unscrupulously.
Dong Zhuo also saw that there were only a thousand people coming down from the mountain, and Guo Jia at the moment added up to 5,000 at most, as he said.
To kill or not to kill?
Li Ru next to him was already in a big upset!
Guo Jia! Ghost talent, not a false name.
At this time, even if you want to chase and kill Guo Jia, you have to move the giant tree in front of you first, which will take time, if you go to chase after the foot soldiers, it is equivalent to death, even if the two legs run over the four legs of the horse, in the face of the cavalry, how much is to die.
And Guo Jia said openly that he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, Li Ru didn't believe it, but he was suspicious if he didn't believe it.
What if there are Guo Jia ambushes ahead? This person is good at scheming to win, what if he lures the enemy deep at this moment?
Li Ru shook his head with a dejected face, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "This person, it's better to mess with less." ”
Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to move away from the giant tree blocking the road in front of him, and asked Li Ru: "Li Ru, if Guo Jia really has a large army, why don't you kill me?" ”
The evil Master Dong himself knows that he is now punished by everyone, and he still knows this point.
Li Ru smiled bitterly and asked, "Taishi, if you are in a desperate situation, what will happen to the Son of Heaven?" ”
The violent color filled his eyes, and Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "The Son of Heaven must die in front of me!" ”
Li Ru asked again: "Guo Jia is a prisoner of the imperial court, even if he supports the army and divides the territory, the world will not tolerate it." Unless the Son of Heaven forgives him, he can be justified, and he can fight a decisive battle with the Taishi, the Son of Heaven will die, and Guo Jia will not benefit at all. ”
The situation is so delicate, no matter how many soldiers and horses Guo Jia has, Dong Zhuo doesn't want to lose his troops and cause trouble, and he can't bear Guo Jia's rampant behavior, he wants to fight, but he can't make up his mind.
Snorted heavily, Dong Zhuo could hold back his anger, but asked with a frown: "If Guo Jia is entrenched in Guanzhong, it will always be a big trouble. ”
Li Ru shook his head and sighed: "Guo Jia has been in danger many times and can survive in desperate situations, in addition to a little luck, more is that this person is good at planning and then moving, after being dormant for nearly two years, he must have a lot of plans, Taishi can guess, where will Guo Jia go now?" Hangu Pass has been heavily guarded by the Taishi, and the direction of Guo Jia's departure is to the west, doesn't the Taishi still understand? ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes widened like copper bells, and he blurted out: "Yizhou! ”
Li Ru nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Yizhou Mu Liu Yan never imagined that when the Kwantung Coalition Army and Taishi were fighting fiercely, there would be a whole road to kill Yizhou, where he had just gained a foothold. Alas, Yizhou, the largest state in the world, is about to change. ”
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and asked, "Then move the capital to Chang'an, how to guard against Guo Jia?" ”
Li Ru said astringently: "Even if Guo Jia captures Yizhou, he can't expand outward within five years, if the Taishi is not at ease, after moving the capital to Chang'an, he can send people to guard the southern Xiongguan Sanguan and Longyou, Guo Jia wants to take the pass, the strong soldiers will take the Longyou, and the soldiers will go out to capture Chencang." However, Taishi, within five years, Guo Jia will not seek to pass the pass, five years later, if Taishi still intends to compete in the world, then he will compete with Guo Jia, if he only wants to dominate one side, just stick to the danger. ”
After speaking to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was slightly distracted.
Guo Jia, you chose the best place in the world that should not be taken.
In the north of Yizhou, Taishi will definitely not disturb you.
To the east of Yizhou, Jingzhou is now in chaos.
But Yizhou, it is more than enough to dominate the party, and it is difficult to dominate the world.
Guo Jia, do you just want to be a prince?
