The room was silent, and the bookshelves against the wall were piled up with countless bamboo slips, orderly and clearly classified.

In front of the bookshelf, Guo Jia, who was wearing a coat, flipped through the bamboo slips, his movements were gentle, his eyes calmly swept the words on the bamboo slips, rolled them up and put them back on the bookshelf, and then picked up the next volume, and so on.

After returning to Chengdu from Guanzhong, Guo Jia lived as before, neither angry nor sighing, and spent most of his time in the study reading books.

In this era of lack of entertainment life, Guo Jia doesn't like to go out hunting, and he doesn't miss the Qinglou Hook Fence, listening to songs and dancing It is enough to improvise by his own few fairy-like wives and concubines.

Didn't Guo Jia, who withdrew his troops from Guanzhong, have any emotions?

No, he does.

He guessed that it was Cao Ying or Yuan Shao who planned the southern rebellion behind his back, and Cao Ying's possible surname was nine points, and Yuan Shao only had one point.

He has no grudge against Cao Ying, nor does he have a grudge against Meng Shu, Gao Ding, Yonghong and others.

After returning to Chengdu to arrange a military deployment for chaos in the south, Guo Jia began to self-reflect, reviewing his strategic plans over the years and weighing the pros and cons.

If it weren't for the fact that he himself gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, how could there be a shocking change at such a critical moment?

He has read a lot of books on the art of war and studied them in depth, and now he is holding a favorite book in his hand.

"Yin Fu Sutra"!

The focus of this book on the art of war is to pay attention to the use of soldiers to meet the heavens.

"Heaven and earth, the thief of all things. All things, thieves of man. Man, the thief of all things. Three thieves are suitable, and three talents are safe. Therefore, it is said: "When you eat it, you will bury a hundred remains." Move the opportunity, Wan Hua'an. "A man knows his god and is God, but he does not know that he is not God and therefore God. It is said that there are numbers of months, and the size is determined. The holy merit is born, and the gods are born. Its theft is also unknown in the world. The gentleman gets the poor, and the villain gets the light life. ”

Guo Jia sighed leisurely, slowly closed the bamboo slip, and put it back on the bookshelf.

Without continuing to read other books, Guo Jia was stunned in front of the bookshelf.

He can predict the direction of the general trend of the world, and no one in this world knows better than him when there will be a god-given opportunity and when there will be a shocking change.

But can this alone compete in the world?

Previously, Guo Jia thought it could.

Now, he laughs at his ignorance.

The rebellion in the south is the best example, and the reason for this is that Guo Jia himself was negligent, and at the same time, he was eager for quick success.

If Guandu went to the south of Pingnan before, it would definitely not be able to catch up with the battle of Guandu.

Before, the southern part of the world was almost included in the chess game of the world, Guo Jia now thinks about it, he was wrong, but anyone who is a member of the thirteen states of the world has the energy and factors that affect the world.

"Odd is compatible, right is compatible, and odd wins."

Guo Jia raised his head and muttered softly.

In the past, he pursued "Qisheng" too much, but he despised "Zhenghe", leaving Han Sui and Ma Teng in the northwest, and Jianshui Shi pretending to deter Liu Biao and ignoring the south, which he wanted to use as a means to confuse the enemy.

Perhaps, when the strength is not good, in the face of the enemy's strength and weakness, the strategy often plays a key role.

But today, with Guo Jia's territory and strength, if he still pursues this kind of false scheme, he will fall behind.

Who in the world dares to come to attack Guo Jia?

Yuan Shao, who fled back to Hebei after being defeated, did not dare!

Cao Ying, who won the battle of Guandu, was also greatly injured, and he didn't dare!

Liu Biao, who is compromised, doesn't dare!

Sun Quan, who was eager to stabilize the internal throne, did not dare!

Since no one dares to fight Guo Jia, why should Guo Jia play false?

Swallowing the south and the northwest, and sweeping away all the forces in Kansai openly, Guo Jia no longer needs to hide his strength, and he no longer needs to deliberately paralyze the enemy.

After unifying Kansai, Guo Jia will replace Yuan Shao as the most high-profile prince in the world.

Yuan Shao is powerful, and no one dares to cut it.

Guo Jia replaced Yuan Shao, and he also wanted to see who in the world dared to provoke him.

The door of the study was open, and the sunlight was shining in from the outside, but Guo Jia could feel that the light was blocked when he turned his back to the door, and when he looked back, he vaguely saw a head shrinking back from outside the door.

He stared at the door with a faint smile, and after a while, someone looked at him with his head sticking out from outside.

"Rong'er, what are you playing again?"

Guo Jia couldn't cry or laugh, Zhen Rong poked his head and secretly looked at him, and the first time he found out was to close his eyes, this ostrich is too cute.

Caught by Guo Jia, Zhen Rong walked in with a twist, came to Guo Jia, and whispered with frustration and shame: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just wanted to take a look at you outside the door." ”

Guo Jia touched the short beard that was not lush on his chin, and asked rhetorically, "What do I have to look at?" It's not like you haven't seen it. ”

Zhen Rong took two more steps towards Guo Jia, took Guo Jia's hand with her delicate little hand, hung her head and said softly: "Sister Cai said that my brother-in-law is unhappy, and I will accompany my brother-in-law." ”

Guo Jia flicked her head very ungracefully, and chuckled: "If you believe everything she says, then you are the stupidest fool in the world." ”

Zhen Rong rubbed her head and raised her face, looked at Guo Jia's gentle face, and after staring silently for a long time, she shook her head and said, "Sister Cai is right, my brother-in-law must be very unhappy in my heart." ”

Guo Jia rarely loses his temper, and everyone around him knows that Guo Jia gets angry, never venting his anger by smashing and scolding, but gives people a strange and trembling calm.

When he should be angry, he often shows an unusually quiet state, in this case, the family said to comfort him, but Guo Jia did not make a move to get angry after all, and civil and military officials often have to carefully pinch the wording in the face of Guo Jia at this time, and if a word is not good, Guo Jia is angered, and the consequences are unimaginable.

This time, however, Guo Jia's calmness was in line with his inner activity.

He seized the opportunity of the Kwantung Army to attack Dong.

He also seized the opportunity for the Son of Heaven to return to Luoyang.

And the opportunity for the battle of Guandu, he missed.

If he catches up with any opportunity, then this world is too easy to fight, as long as he sits and waits and prepares for the next opportunity, then won't he be able to win the world as long as he follows the steps?

Thinking about it on the other hand, the first two opportunities, Guo Jia was well prepared, and the opportunity for the battle of Guandu, Guo Jia was actually in a hurry for quick success, Guanzhong had not yet recovered to one-third of its heyday, and the situation in the south was also deliberately ignored by him, in fact, he couldn't wait to catch up with the battle of Guandu.

Therefore, if he didn't seize the opportunity this time, he missed it, Guo Jia will not feel sorry, it is because he is not fully prepared, and the urgency of time is the fundamental reason.

Withdrawing his hand from Zhen Rong's hand, Guo Jia picked up another book and flipped through it, shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you." All I can tell you is that I have nothing to be unhappy about. ”

There are reasons for being happy and angry, and not being happy or angry is just a normal state.

Zhen Rong also picked up a bamboo slip from the bookshelf, stood beside Guo Jia and opened it to read.

"Brother-in-law must be unhappy, I'm here to accompany you."

After a short period of time passed, Zhen Rong's movements of holding the scroll did not change, but his eyes kept secretly observing Guo Jia's reaction.

Looking at the bamboo slips without squinting, Guo Jia asked softly, "Can you understand the book?" ”

Zhen Rong blurted out: "Of course I understand." ”

"Do you know what book you're holding in your hand?"

"Huh? ……”

Zhen Rong hurriedly looked at the scroll in her hand, wanting to cry without tears, she couldn't tell which book it was written on.

Rolling up the bamboo slip and knocking on Zhen Rong's head, Guo Jia glanced at the scroll in her hand, and said with a light smile: "What you are holding in your hand is "Three Strategies", okay, Rong'er's mind, I understand it, my brother-in-law is very moved, it's not early, let's have dinner in the house together." ”

Zhen Rong didn't feel embarrassed, he showed a sweet smile while touching his head, took Guo Jia's arm and walked out, and said excitedly: "Today, it is the sister of the Qiao family who cooks herself, and she has a good mouth." ”

Coming to the lobby of the inner courtyard, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile and said: "People are really together, is this Guo Mansion or Zhen Mansion?" ”

Not only Guo Jia's wife and concubine and two sons were there, but the other four sisters of the Zhen family were also present.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, who are completely heartless, will naturally only fool themselves with a smile, Zhen Rong held Guo Jia's arm and didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, the only one with a little embarrassment on his face was Zhen Mi, who seemed to really retreat and wanted to move away.

"Sister, I'd better go home, right?"

Zhen Mi said timidly to Zhen Jiang.

Zhen Jiang took her hand and walked to the dining table, and said gently: "He's just joking, don't take it to heart." ”

is indeed joking, Guo Jia likes to be lively when eating, warm and cheerful.

personally beckoned the other sisters of the Zhen family to join the table, Guo Jia beckoned the two sons to his side, and after doing a good job of one left and one right, Guo Jia looked at Guo Ye, who is now also a young man, and asked thoughtfully: "Ye'er, how many years have you been learning martial arts?" ”

Guo Ye thought for a while and replied: "The child has been learning martial arts with Uncle Xiao and several generals since he was six years old, and it has been six or seven years now. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Then in a few days, go to the military camp in the city, let me see your academic achievements, in addition, call Xu Yi Gan Guidian all those boys, let me see if you stinky boys have real skills, sneak out of the city in three days, if you don't pass the kung fu of your fists and feet, don't think about going out for fun in the future." ”

Guo Ye agreed casually, without any nervousness.

Turning his head, Guo Jia looked at Guo Jin again, this kid looked dodgy, Guo Jia played with taste: "Jin'er still doesn't want to practice martial arts?" ”

Guo Jin likes to be disgusted with martial arts, which gives Guo Jia a headache, the child doesn't want to learn, and Guo Jia doesn't want to use coercive means.

Guo Jin shook his head and lowered his head to eat, he just didn't like to practice martial arts, and the stinky sweat made him unbearable.

Guo Jia didn't force him, but there were minimum requirements.

"Jiang Er, in a few days, you take Jin'er to the Heavenly Master Palace, and let Zuo Ci teach Jin'er a set of healthy boxing techniques, he can not practice martial arts, and I don't expect any son to become an unstoppable warrior in the future, but at least the physical fitness must be passed."

Zhen Jiang hurriedly agreed.
