Chapter 3: Duplicity

It was the first time Lu Su had seen Guo Jia, a famous monarch, but he had a sense of child's play out of tune. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just a few words of conversation with Guo Jia made him have an unfathomable impression of Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's few words, complimentary, can be said to be full of confidence, really to start from reality, that is, too ambitious and too much to take for granted!

At this time, is it time to discuss the ownership of Jingzhou?

No!

It's time to discuss the specific tactics of breaking Cao!

Even if Guo Jia dispatched 100,000 sailors in Yizhou, 100,000 in Jiangdong, 10,000 defeated in Jiangdong, 10,000 defeated soldiers in Liu Bei, plus 10,000 soldiers and horses in his son Liu Qi, this adds up to only 220,000 soldiers and horses, how many are Cao Cao? 400,000!

The odds of victory are not even half, but Guo Jia seems to have won in sight and begins to sit on the ground and share the spoils?

And it's demanding.

Jingzhou belongs to him?

Lu Su sneered in his heart: When Liu Biao was there, you didn't swallow Jingzhou, and now Liu Biao was scared to death by Cao Cao, and his troops were twice as many as when Liu Biao was there, but you said that you wanted to swallow it in one gulp?

Lu Su fell silent, and the civil officials present also held their heads high and remained silent, but Peng Yi, Zhang Song and others all looked at Lu Su with a playful expression.

Guo Jia didn't urge Lu Su to reply, ordered someone to serve tea, and took the time to pick up the teacup and blow the hot air coming out of the mouth.

Lu Su's mind turned sharply, the key question he thought about was not whether to agree to Guo Jia's proposal, he had no power to call the shots in this kind of agreement, and Sun Quan did not give him this task.

Until then, whether or not Cao can be broken is the top priority.

Lu Su never doubted the sincerity of Liu Bei's group and Jiangdong.

Why?

Because the crisis of Liu Bei and Sun Quan is imminent, if they do not unite, it will be a dead end.

But what about Guo Jia?

Look at him now drinking tea leisurely, and he still has the heart to turn his head to talk and laugh with Xi Zhicai, and the topic he vaguely heard is the growing prosperity of Chang'an.

Lu Su's heart was as cold as ice, Guo Jia didn't have the slightest sense of crisis, and he didn't seem to take Cao Cao in his eyes at all, or rather, he didn't take Jiangdong's survival seriously.

If Guo Jia is indifferent and Jiangdong falls, then the pattern of the world will collapse, and in an instant, Cao Cao will definitely dominate the country in less than twenty years!

Will Guo Jia be indifferent?

Lu Su was very sure at this point: no!

But will Guo Jia work together with Jiangdong to deal with Cao Cao, or will he plan with Jiangdong?

Guo Jia said that he would send troops from Hanzhong Badong to attack Cao Cao, but his main forces were in Chang'an, would Guo Jia use Yizhou as the capital to gamble with Cao Cao on life and death?

Politics is sometimes a gamble, and whether the cost and benefits are cost-effective is the factor that policymakers consider.

What Lu Su can imagine is that if Guo Jia uses Yizhou as a gambling book, he will take Jingzhou at best, while Cao Cao will give up Jingzhou at most, and still have half of the Central Plains and Hebei.

What if you lose? Cao Cao's 400,000 army first blocked Jiangdong's diversion to Yizhou, and Guo Jia's base camp was in danger of falling.

The consideration between the gains and losses, it seems that Guo Jia's income in exchange for blood is very uneconomical compared with Cao Cao.

And what if Guo Jia sends troops to Hanguguan? Not only cut off the connection between Hebei and the Central Plains, but even swept the Central Plains and Hebei, after all, Cao Cao's current soldiers and horses, 400,000 in Jingzhou, 200,000 in the Sili area, and other counties and counties scattered together will never exceed 100,000. If you win, then you can get the splendid country at your fingertips, at least your loss will not endanger your life.

Lu Su recalled Guo Jia's experience of being born out of thin air to dominate one side.

The princes begged for Dong, and Guo Jia attacked Yizhou by surprise.

Li Dao and Guo Yan turned against each other in Chang'an, the Son of Heaven returned to the east, and when Guanzhong was in chaos, Guo Jia was given the opportunity to go north.

Behind the intrigue between the two Koreans and Malaysians, Guo Jia's manipulation of the situation in the northwest can be vaguely seen, and then not only subdued the northwest, but also incorporated the Ma family.

This time Cao Cao went south, obviously it was also an opportunity.

How could Guo Jia turn a blind eye?

However, the same boat as Jiangdong refused to be Cao Cao in the south, obviously unable to maximize benefits.

Sun Quan wanted to watch Guo Jia and Cao Cao fight to the death, but now, Guo Jia probably also wants to watch Jiangdong fight to the death with Cao Cao, so that Guo Jia will have the opportunity to give Cao Cao a fatal blow in the back from the north.

Lu Su thought he had figured out Guo Jia's wishful thinking.

If that's the case, it looks like he can't see Guo Jia, and the result is the same.

But looking farther, Lu Su knew that this trip would not work!

Jingzhou Liu Biao has returned to heaven, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao, if Jiangdong defeats Cao Cao, the ownership of Jingzhou will be a matter at hand.

After a big battle between the Cao and Sun families, even if Jiangdong can occupy Jingzhou first, it is necessary to ensure that Guo Jia will not take advantage of the fire to rob.

It is expected that Guo Jia will send troops from the north to the east, but there may only be two, either they will not be able to capture Luoyang, or they will sweep the Central Plains and cut off Cao Cao's retreat.

Once Guo Jia couldn't capture Luoyang and Jiangdong defeated Cao Cao, Guo Jia would definitely not sit idly by and watch Jiangdong sit big, and it was also a broad road for Guo Jia to send troops to sweep Jingzhou at that time.

Lu Su looked at Guo Jia, who was still talking and laughing freely with Xi Zhicai, and sighed in his heart: This Sven monarch is intimidating!

Standing in Guo Jia's position, Lu Su will compare his heart with his heart, Guo Jia has three strategies to choose from in the face of the current situation: the upper strategy is to advance from the north to the east, the middle strategy is to seek Jingzhou after Luoyang cannot be defeated, and the next strategy is to sit and watch the success or failure and wait for the opportunity to take profits.

Even if it is a good strategy, Guo Jia seems to be profitable.

Regardless of whether Guo Jia will help Jiangdong on the battlefield of the Cao and Sun families, Jiangdong can't offend Guo Jia now, and he has to make friends.

Because after the battle of Cao Sun, if Jiangdong is defeated, it will no longer matter whether he is good or bad with Guo Jia. But if Jiangdong wins, there will definitely be a big loss of troops and a sharp reduction in strength, and if Guo Jia takes advantage of the fire to rob at that time, Jiangdong will definitely not be able to stop the two great heroes in the world from attacking in turn.

The relationship between Guo Jia and the Sun family has been in a tepid state, and there are occasional friendly exchanges on the surface, but a few months ago, Sun Quan ignored Guo Jia's letter, which made the relationship between the two families begin to turn bad, which can be seen from the attitude of Yizhou officials towards Lu Su, after all, it was Sun Quan who lost his manners first, and Lu Su was very passive, and now to reverse this situation, the first thing is to win the favor of the other party in the dialogue with Guo Jia.

"Envoy, with all due respect, I have no right to decide who this Jingzhou should belong to, but I also hope that you will remember the common people and help Jiangdong, this great kindness, the people of the six counties of Jiangdong will remember it for a lifetime."

Lu Su said respectfully to Guo Jia, neither humble nor arrogant, but it was impossible to be annoyed.

I already expected that Guo Jia would not send troops from Hanzhong Badong, but Lu Su still had to follow Guo Jia's intentions, and he couldn't tell Guo Jia's intentions face to face, right?

Guo Jia turned his head to look at Lu Su, smiled faintly, and said: "I want Jingzhou, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, Zijing, maybe you don't know, more than ten years ago, I almost died in Jingzhou, this matter has been pressed in my heart for more than ten years, and I have been haunted by it, and I made an oath on the same day, I can do nothing in this life, but I must step on the land of Jingzhou!" ”

Guo Jia's tone was unquestionable, and his eyes were sharp.

Lu Su lowered his head and said secretly in his heart: It's so pretentious!

He thinks that Guo Jia must be acting at the moment.

"But, I am just a junior general of the Zhonghu Army, how can I decide the ownership of this Jingzhou?"

Lu Su said bitterly.

Guo Jia's serious expression relaxed, and he smiled: "In this way, Zijing, you return to Jiangdong as soon as possible to meet Wu Hou, as long as he writes a letter to me, it can be regarded as an agreement between you and me." On the day of the war between the Cao thief and Jiangdong, I will send troops to rescue, and after driving the Cao thief out of Jingzhou, Jingzhou will be mine. ”

Lu Su thought about it, and now it can only be like this.

In fact, who Jingzhou belongs to, Jiangdong can't be the master, and Sun Quan can't be the master.

The premise of being able to call the shots is when Jiangdong has the strength and the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou.

But for now, Jiangdong is thinking about self-preservation, not aggressiveness.

Lu Su saluted Guo Jia and said goodbye.

Looking at his back, a chuckle rose at the corner of Guo Jia's mouth.

"Lu Zijing, talent, it's a pity that you can't use it for me."

Guo Jia let out a sigh.

Lu Su is ambitious, he wants to be the minister of the new dynasty, in fact, Guo Jia is his good choice, but it is a pity that the high position around Guo Jia has been occupied by too many people, Lu Su came to serve Guo Jia, it is just the icing on the cake, how can he be as deep as sending charcoal in the snow when Sun Quan first took the throne.

Most of the ministers in the hall watched coldly, they didn't know much about Lu Su, what kind of talent they were, just based on Guo Jia's words, they listened to it.

However, Peng Yi sneered: "The lord's words are wrong, and the lower officials look at Lu Zijing as no more than Er'er, and there is nothing extraordinary." ”

Guo Jia laughed, stood up and prepared to go out.

"Don't underestimate Lu Zijing. Think about it, under Sun Quan's rule, Zhou Yu was young but was able to live in peace with Sun Jian and those old generals of the older generation, and Lu Zijing's contribution was indispensable. The Sun-Liu alliance is imperative, to coordinate against Cao Cao, Lu Zijing and Zhuge Liang are all key figures, without them to liaise, what is the use of the two nominal alliances? ”

The guards outside the door brought a big coat, and Guo Jia put on a rope and tied it.

Huang Quan asked suspiciously: "There is news from the east, Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong alone, the two families have not officially united, and the Jiangdong officials led by Zhang Zhao seem to have more meaning to welcome Cao." ”

Guo Jia tidied up the edges of his clothes, turned his head and looked at Huang Quan with a smile, and said: "These are two different things. This is Sun Ce's entrustment to Zhang Zhao before his death, and in the current situation, those officials in Jiangdong are not considered to have surrendered, but they are just following Sun Ce's last words, more or less wanting the Sun family to leave their bloodline, in case they are defeated by Cao Cao, the Sun family may have no successor. As for Zhuge Liang, hehe, Sun Quan doesn't want to surrender to Cao, Zhuge Liang was just used as a gun by him, Sun Zhongmou, the way of power and scheming is indeed a hundred times better than his father and brother. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he walked out, and Zhang Ren, the commander of the Guards, came over and asked, "Where are you going to go, lord?" ”

"Barracks."
