Chapter 12

Around Guo Jia's side, there are still many people who believe that the truth of this world exists in poetry and etiquette.

When Guo Jia withdrew his troops from Guanzhong and returned to Chengdu, some officials suggested that Guo Jia send people to negotiate with the south and explain to Meng Xu, who was the leader of the army, that Yonghong was behind the scenes, not that Guo Jia intended to force the south.

Guo Jia only did not adopt the strategy suggested by this large number of people on the surface, and he was simply dismissive in his heart.

He even thought it was ridiculous.

Could it be that if a messenger was sent to explain to Meng Shu calmly, Meng Huo would immediately suddenly realize that he would drop his weapon, and then come to Chengdu to sing "Hallelujah" with Guo Jia?

The truth is in the hands of the mighty.

Now, Guo Jia is in the image of a victor, and whatever he says is the truth.

Aside from the intention of annexing the south before, it was Yonghong who made an obstacle from it that led to the current situation of fighting between the north and the south, and now Guo Jia's army is playing a triumphant song, and the people in the south are left with only one way to return to Shun.

The south is Guo Jia's territory, this time to the south, not to talk about the first salute and then the soldiers, but to reverse the order, Guo Jia first and then salute, as for those barbarians who have been obedient on the surface will be capricious, Guo Jia does not take it to heart, he only needs to implement it step by step according to his own plan, some people still want to make waves, he can't stop it, the butcher knife can be raised once can be raised the second time, whether you know the current affairs, in the other party.

The elders of the southern barbarian tribes who had been kidnapped and brought to Chengdu were sent away by Guo Jia with great fanfare, and Guo Jia needed them to convey his kindness, so that Gao Ding, the king of Yue Junyi, would be alone if he wanted to call on the people to resist Guo Jia.

A month later, Meng was sent back to the south, only to return.

This time the meeting with Meng Shu was very formal, Chengdu civil and military officials were present, Guo Jia sat on the main seat and looked at Meng Huo who wanted to speak and stopped.

"Meng Shu, what else do you want? You might as well speak up, I will not be stingy if I can be satisfied. ”

After Meng Shu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, under the curious eyes of everyone, Meng Shu suddenly knelt down in the hall and said to Guo Jia: "Please take me in, I want to join the army and serve the envoy under the command of the envoy." ”

If the south is annexed, Guo Jia will not allow private armed forces to appear in his territory, and whether you are the leader of the clan or the king elected by the people, Guo Jia will not tolerate the presence of military forces that are out of control.

Guo Jia thought about it and then set his eyes on Qin Mi and said, "Zi Meng, I'll give you a task, you can accept this person for the time being, and teach him things when you have time." ”

Qin Mi was very surprised, but he calmly took the errand.

Meng Shu stared at Qin Mi suspiciously for a long time, and finally turned his head and asked Guo Jia: "Envoy, is this person hidden deeply?" ”

Guo Jia replied, "You can kill ten of him with one hand." ”

When Meng Huo heard this, he was even more confused.

"What is that envoy? What should I learn from him? ”

Guo Jia said lightly: "Meng Huo, remember, you have a strong fist, but you don't have a wise mind, this time the south suffered, you can't escape the blame, if you are a person who has a delicate mind and then acts, you will not be easily instigated by Yonghong." Regardless of the strength of the force, it is good to use it for good, and evil to use it for evil. If you want to work for me, you can't just be an impulsive and irritable puppet who doesn't use his brain, Zi Jian is a rare wise man in the world, and how much you can learn from him is your blessing. ”

After Meng Shu thought seriously with a serious expression, he came to Qin Mi and gave him a salute, and Qin Mi calmly returned the salute.

Meng Shu was just about to retreat, but he turned back to Guo Jia and said, "Envoy, the children of my clan are willing to follow the envoy with me, I wonder if the envoy will accept it?" ”

Guo Jia did not agree to this matter, but said: "This matter will be discussed after the elimination of Gaoding, and I have no extra money and food to support the new army at the moment. ”

After Meng Shu left, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

Guo Jia put on a serious look and asked softly, "What is the situation in Kanto now?" ”

A few months after the Battle of Guandu came to an end, Guo Jia finally threw out this topic again.

Fei Shi came out of the list and replied: "Yuan Shao fled back to Hebei in defeat, he couldn't afford to fall ill, and the territory of Hebei was in the hands of his three sons. After Cao Ying withdrew his army and returned to Xuchang, he began to recuperate, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, in terms of the strength of soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao was still several times stronger than Cao Ying. Liu Biao also withdrew after the lord ordered the navy to withdraw, and Liu Bei, who fled to Jingzhou, was sent by Liu Biao to be stationed in Xinye. After Sun Quan, the young lord of Jiangdong, stabilized the situation, he promoted many talents, and Jiangdong was calm after Sun Ce's death. ”

Closing his eyes and deep thought, Guo Jia is considering a strategy after unifying Kansai.

The Battle of Guandu was a battle with a turning point in the fate of Yuan and Cao's families, but it was not that Yuan Shao was defeated and withdrew from the stage of history, nor did Cao Ying win and instantly unify the north.

It is difficult to estimate how many soldiers and horses Yuan Shao lost in Guandu, and he died on the battlefield and was killed by Cao Yingkeng 80,000, and it is initially estimated that Yuan Shao lost nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in Guandu.

Guandu was defeated, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were not all wiped out, but they were already seriously injured, and he fell ill and collapsed, and his ambition to win the Central Plains has been depressed to the point of disillusionment, and what made the Yuan family even worse was that the three sons competed for the throne of the prince and entered the white-hot stage, and the terminally ill Yuan Shao was unable to control the overall situation.

Guo Jia expected that for a long time to come, Cao Ying would make two preparations, on the one hand, he would keep an eye on him living in Kansai, and on the other hand, he would wait to take over the northern territories.

But none of this matters, Guo Jia has decided to work steadily and steadily.

The next step after the southern part of the peace is to subdue the northwest, and then properly manage the territory in hand, which will probably take at least five years, in the same period, maybe Cao Ying can pocket all of Hebei, and the two major forces of Kanto and Kansai will rise at the same time, indicating that the future duel will be more intense.

Walking in the backyard of the house, Guo Jia took the hands of his two sons, and before parting, Guo Jia suddenly asked: "Ye'er, Jin'er, do you know why Cao Ying didn't fight Hebei?" ”

Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, this is the comparison of strength before Guandu.

After the official crossing, it seems that Yuan Qiang and Cao are still weak.

However, Yuan Shao's heart has been defeated, the soldiers in Hebei have changed color when they hear Cao Shao from top to bottom, and the 80,000 captives who were killed by the pit are already a nightmare for everyone in Hebei, so Cao Shao beat Yuan Shao, except for the burden of grain and grass, there are almost no worries.

The two sons fell into deep thought, Guo Jia let go of their hands and smiled: "This question, think about it slowly." Perhaps, in ten years, you will really understand what this means. ”

Brothers fight, disaster Xiao Wall, Cao Ying does not fight Hebei is to capture the old indulgence, attack will cause the Yuan brothers to resist together, let the Yuan brothers kill each other.

Guo Jia hopes that the two sons can understand an eternal truth: brothers work together, and their profits are gold.

The Yuan family is falling step by step, the red in the north is falling, but a new star is quietly rising in the south.

The opposite of the Yuan family is the Sun family, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan ascended to the throne, and the Sun family worked together to protect Jiangdong, if the Yuan brothers could have the demeanor of the Sun family, even if the invincible Yuan Shao died, they could also be blinded.

In the cold winter, the fog in the bathroom is bright, and Guo Jia feels comfortable soaking in the warm pool water.

Someone posted it behind him, and Guo Jia knew who it was with his eyes closed.

"It's an old husband and wife, are you still playing the mood of ten years ago?"

Guo Jia is not the only one in the giggle pool, his wife and concubines are all there, in fact, he also wants to indulge in his heart, but when he thinks of the fate of the founder of the wine pond meat forest, he shuddered.

Zhen Jiang, Xiao Qiao, and Diao Chan looked at Cai Yan who was ridiculed by Guo Jia teasingly.

Cai Yan, who hugged Guo Jia from behind, slid in front of him with his body, pretending to be sad: "Could it be that the husband dislikes the concubine and is old?" ”

Cai Yan, who has long since faded her youthful and girlish demeanor, is now the time when her mature charm is combined, Guo Jia hooked her chin, and the other hand went around her back and hips uneasily, leaned in front of her, and said mysteriously: "Daughter-in-law, I forgot to tell you, in fact, I prefer mature women, you ten years ago compared with now, the temptation is simply incomparable." ”

With his legs between Guo Jia's waist, Cai Yan rarely had a shy flush on his face again, and said softly in Guo Jia's ear: "The concubine body now finally understands why the husband has been delaying the Naqiao sisters as concubines, it turns out that the fruit is not ripe." ”

Guo Jia kissed the skin of Cai Yan's neck fiercely and sucked hard.

A faint tingling pain spread from the neck to the nerves, and suddenly eased down, Cai Yan was soft on Guo Jia's body, suddenly touched his neck, and said angrily: "Oh, there is a seal here, how do you call the concubine body?" ”

Guo Jia hugged her tightly and said indifferently: "It's okay to wear a collar-high dress to cover it." ”

Skin friction, lust is high, Guo Jia was about to "ravage" Cai Yan, but she pushed him away.

"The concubine has forgotten her business."

Cai Yan patted his forehead, his skin was white and red, and he couldn't bear the pounding and restless mood, Cai Yan looked at Guo Jia and said seriously: "Ye'er is not young, and recently many people have come to visit the concubine and want to be a matchmaker for Ye'er." It's up to the husband to make up his mind about this matter. ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, turned around and leaned against the pool beside Cai Yan, and the three daughters who were looking at the two of them not far away thought that Guo Jia would put on a good show with Cai Yan, but they didn't expect it to suddenly stop fighting.

"Yes, Ye'er is not small."

Counting the real age, Guo Ye will be thirteen years old after the New Year, and the ancients will be one year older than the age, he will be fourteen years old.

A fourteen-year-old child may be nothing in an ordinary family, but in a high-ranking family, it is normal to get married and start a family at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

"Is Ye'er interested in someone?"

Guo Jia asked suddenly.

He wasn't joking, even if he was treating others with himself, Guo Jia had a crush on someone when he was twelve or thirteen years old in his last life, and this age was when his love was beginning to open, Guo Jia naturally wouldn't pretend to be a Taoist and feel unethical.

"Probably not, I haven't heard him mention any girl."

Cai Yan is not very sure, the child is older, and he has everything he has in his heart, even if the parents are strict, they may not be able to understand the child's mind bit by bit.

"Then ask him what he thinks first, and if he doesn't have an idea, you can do it for him."
