Chapter 70 Gong Xingtian Punishment
Pang Tongyi listened to Guo Jia's words and knew Guo Jia's subtext. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info//Fast update//
Pang Tong thought that his cleverness couldn't hide it from Guo Jia, but Guo Jia really wronged him in this matter.
It can be said with a clear conscience that Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and a large number of other talents have joined Guo Jia, and a big reason is that they want to be the ministers of the new dynasty.
Now, this opportunity is once in a lifetime.
Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, the infamy was Cao Pi's, Guo Jia, as a Han minister, wanted to support the Han Dynasty is no longer possible, the Han Dynasty is dead!
Guo Jia will be proclaimed emperor after Cao Pi is proclaimed emperor, and the condemnation and criticism he will receive will be minimized.
Just now, the document that Guo Jia read was a letter of persuasion, which was a joint letter from the Yizhou Government suggesting that Guo Jia become emperor.
Guo Jia's words to Pang Tong seemed to think that Pang Tong was planning this matter behind the scenes.
Not really.
"Hey, lord, after reading the following, the lord will understand."
Pang Tong hurriedly stopped Guo Jia and asked him to patiently read the rest of the bamboo slips.
Guo Jia sighed lightly, stopped and looked at the bamboo slips below from Pang Tong's arms, and thought about it after reading it.
The bamboo slips in Pang Tong's arms, the top is the persuasion table of the Yizhou Mansion, and the bottom is the letters of officials of various counties under his rule.
The meaning of the message is much the same.
They all hope that Guo Jia will be the emperor, and then Gong Xingtian will punish and exterminate Cao Wei.
Guo Jia pondered for a while and realized that he had really misunderstood Pang Tong.
"Gong Xingtian punishment, Gong Xingtian punishment"
Talking to himself for a while, Guo Jia understood the current situation very well.
Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to going against the sky, and the so-called Gong Xingtian punishment is to do the right thing for heaven and exterminate Cao Pi, a rebellious minister and thief.
Turning his gaze back to Pang Tong's innocent face, Guo Jia chuckled and said, "I will first follow in the footsteps of Cao Pi and become the emperor, and then publicize Gong Xingtian's punishment to the outside world?" No matter how you look at it, it's like a thief shouting to catch a thief. ”
Haha laughed, Guo Jia threw the bamboo slip back into Pang Tong's arms again and walked down the mountain.
"Alas, my lord, dare to ask what my lord is going to do?"
Pang Tong caught up with Guo Jia and hurriedly asked.
Guo Jia didn't look back, and said: "I understand your thoughts, Cao Wei is immortal, and I am worried in my heart. ”
Why did all the officials under Guo Jia unanimously ask Guo Jia to be emperor, and at the same time insisted that Guo Jia exterminate Cao Wei?
Is Uniting Really the Way of Heaven?
Not necessarily!
It's still a benefit!
It is conceivable that Cao Pi's nine-product Zhongzheng system and Guo Jia's imperial examination are-for-tat.
If Cao Wei replaced Guo Jia, then now ninety percent of the officials under Guo Jia will go into the wilderness, why? Because of their origins! They do not have the glorious background of their ancestors, they do not have the background of being officials for generations, and this has nothing to do with talent, but with the system.
In the case of irreconcilable political interests, then there is only one means to solve it: war!
Guo Jia and Cao Wei have reached a point where either you die or I die.
And among the people under Guo Jia's rule, the children of the poor family who want to stand out from the crowd naturally support Guo Jia to destroy Cao Wei, looking at the near place, this is a system related to the life of many people, looking to the future, which is also related to the future of future generations.
Who is willing to put in the effort, have talent but can only be subordinate?
The pattern of the world is quietly changing, and those with unsatisfactory official backgrounds will flock to Cao Wei, while those who come from humble backgrounds but want to get ahead will join Guo Jia.
Two groups with very different political lines will have a fierce confrontation.
Guo Jia wants to know how many people are willing to be wealthy eagle dogs in this era, and how many people are willing to exchange blood and sweat for fame and fortune!
Back in Yizhou Mansion, Guo Jia went to the inner hall to change out of his filial piety clothes, while Pang Tong walked into the hall with a bamboo slip, and everyone's eyes looked at him.
Pang Tong shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Xi Zhicai, Qin Mi, Zhen Yan, Huang Quan, Peng Yi and others all knew Guo Jia's attitude.
Since Guo Jia decided not to be the emperor for the time being, there is no need for them to persuade them again.
Is Guo Jia not wanting to?
No, it's not the right time.
When Guo Jia appeared in front of everyone, Guo Jia saw everyone's excited expressions, and knew what they were thinking.
"Now, the top priority is to destroy Wu, don't be distracted by other things."
Guo Jia must get straight to the point, and in the face of his confidant ministers who can be open and honest, he doesn't need to hide anything.
Perhaps Guo Jia said it so bluntly that everyone would smile.
If Gong Xingtian wants to punish and exterminate Cao Wei, the first thing is to destroy Jiangdong.
As early as before the Battle of Chibi, Guo Jia had a clear strategic line, to destroy Cao, first swallow Wu!
Because there must be Jingzhou to destroy Cao, and based on Jingzhou and adjacent to Jiangdong, Sun Quan also wants Jingzhou all the time, rather than the enemy is dark and I am clear, it is better to dominate the situation and let Sun Quan hand over the righteousness of Guo Jiaxing's army to attack Wu.
If he doesn't do this, Sun Quan is a huge hidden danger, and he doesn't know when he will give the Taiping Army a fatal blow, as the head of the people, Guo Jia doesn't like the situation to get out of control, everything must be under his control to make him feel at ease.
Things have developed to this point, whether Guo Jiafu is angry or happy, they are just acting on the spot, for Cao Pi to see, and for Sun Quan.
In the near future, a major war that will determine the fate of Koto will break out on all fronts.
Xiang Lang entered from the outside in, and with a solemn face, he held a bamboo slip in both hands and gave it to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia opened it and laughed: "It seems that Cao Pi really loves Sun Quan, as soon as he became the emperor, he named Sun Quan the king of Wu, yo, Ma Chao was actually crowned the king by Cao Pi, the king of Guanzhong, hehe." ”
Putting down this information, Guo Jiazhi bowed his head and sighed.
Thinking of Cao Cao's life and death in the southern and northern wars, it can be described as a lifetime of hard work.
When he arrived at Cao Pi, in order to be proud of his momentary glory, he threw away all the foundations that Cao Cao had worked hard for decades.
"Ascend the throne and become emperor, Cao Pi, you climbed really high enough, I don't know if you will be crushed when you fall."
Jianping County, Jingzhou
The Jiangdong Army was heavily fortified in Zigui, but it was still declared lost after five days of the Taiping Army's strong attack, and the Jiangdong Army did not fight to the death, and the whole army retreated after the first line of defense was urgent, and retreated straight down the river into Yidu County.
The river breeze is refreshing, and the heavily armed Guo Ye stands on the shore, on his left, the surging Yangtze River, and on his right is the endless mountains and forests.
At this moment, he struggled with his face, thinking of his father's plan, which could not be described as nine deaths and one life, but completely ten deaths!
Afraid of death? Guo Ye is never afraid.
But if this 200,000-strong army is lost, it will shake the foundation of Guo Jia's rule.
Zhang Ren, who led the naval army to break the enemy's water village, returned triumphantly, the boat was moored on the shore, Zhang Ren happily ran to Guo Ye, clenched his fists and said loudly: "General, our army has won a complete victory, and all the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong have withdrawn." ”
On the other side, the forward troops led by Wei Yan also received news that they had also broken through the enemy's camp and the Jiangdong Army had fled.
Looking at the sky, Guo Ye said to Zhang Ren lightly: "Pass the order, all the sailors will go ashore and camp with the foot soldiers." ”
Zhang Ren's excitement of returning victorious dissipated invisibly, and he asked blankly, "General, why is this?" ”
To break through Jiangdong, the Taiping army had enough strength to open up two battlefields, one on the Yangtze River and the other on land.
Now give up the waterway and go straight to the ground, there is a feeling of cutting off an arm, after all, this gives the Jiangdong Army the opportunity to sneak attack the Taiping Army along the river, and after the sneak attack, leave by boat, which is simply the best thing for the Jiangdong Army.
Guo Ye's eyes froze, without explanation, and said, "This is a military order, executed." ”
Zhang Ren thought in his heart, at least Guo Ye already had Guo Jia's seven-point majesty, so he didn't dare to disobey.
Ordered all the sailors to go ashore and cross the mountains and forests to join the foot soldiers.
Although Xiao Ren has no experience in field command, but after following Guo Jia for so many years, he knows the way of the art of war by heart, and when he saw Guo Ye's decision, he frowned slightly, and felt deeply inappropriate in surprise, he wanted to ask Guo Ye a thing or two, but when he saw the indifferent Jia Xu riding on the horse, he was silent.
Xiao Ren knew that this Jia Wenhe was deeply hidden, and Jia Xu was assigned by Guo Jia to participate in the war, so he must have his task, if Jia Xu had no opinion on Guo Ye's order, then Xiao Ren should face all this calmly.
Riding a horse and leading the army forward, Guo Ye looked back and forth, the road was lined with mountains and forests, although it was already mid-August, but the heat had not disappeared, and the heat was unbearable.
Da-da-da-da
Someone in front of the army rode a horse and galloped, and Guo Ye looked up and saw that it was Wei Yan.
Wei Yan thought that his vanguard troops were average in combat strength, after all, they were all prisoners who joined the army, and the training was only a few months, but they unexpectedly achieved successes in successive battles, and Wei Yan couldn't tell whether it was the courage and unstoppability of these criminals, or the Jiangdong Army, which was very brilliant.
The momentum is like a bamboo, and the air runs through Changhong.
Wei Yan hurried back from the front to see Guo Ye, with an anxious expression, his previous plan for Guo Ye was to advance by land and water, and slowly try to advance, and gradually destroy Jiangdong.
However, Guo Ye suddenly ordered to abandon the waterway after breaking through Zigui, which made Wei Yan puzzled, since leaving Badong, the Taiping army was invincible, Jiangdong had no frontal attack or sneak attack in addition to defense, and it was obviously impossible to shake the Taiping army.
"General"
When Wei Yan came to Guo Ye's side, he clenched his fists and wanted to speak, but Guo Ye raised his hand to stop him.
Riding the horse to the side, under the woods on the side of the road, Guo Ye rode his horse slowly, Wei Yan guessed that Guo Ye had something to say to him, so he followed quietly and waited for the following.
Guo Ye appreciated Wei Yan's talent, so he didn't plan to hide Wei Yan from this matter.
"Wen Chang, I also know that it is not appropriate to abandon the Yangtze River waterway and concentrate troops on the ground."
"So why"
Wei Yan was anxious, and before Guo Ye finished speaking, he interjected and wanted to ask a rhetorical question, but Guo Ye glanced at him lightly, and Wei Yan immediately closed his mouth and stopped interjecting.
Guo Ye retracted his gaze, looked ahead, and said, "Wen Chang, what do you think of my father's march to war?" ”
Wei Yan was stunned, not knowing why Guo Ye would mention Guo Jia who was far away in Chengdu.
However, he really had an in-depth understanding of Guo Jia, and said without hesitation: "The lord has always strategized to win thousands of miles. ”
Guo Ye nodded, turned his head to stare at Wei Yan, and said, "Since that's the case, then don't ask." All I can tell you is that the reason why I give this command is the command of my Father. ”
When Wei Yan heard this, he was immediately discouraged, he couldn't figure out why Guo Jia would give Guo Ye such an order that had no achievements or could even be said to be a self-cutting arm.
Perhaps the answer will only be revealed when the dust settles on this battle to destroy Wu.
