Chapter Seventy-Seven: Avoiding It

"Peace?"

Zhou Tai restrained a little smile, slowly walked to the handsome seat and sat down, looking at Kuai Yue with a playful look.

There was no follow-up, and the scene was silent.

Kuai Yue stiffened his head and arched his hand towards Zhou Tai and said: "General Zhou, this time you sent troops to attack Jingzhou, it is for injustice, my lord has always pursued peace as the precious, Jingzhou and Yizhou, the well water does not violate the river water, and you suddenly attacked, leading the army to Xiangyang City, it is inevitable to bully the weak and lose morality." ”

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud.

Bullying the weak?!

Guo Jia is stronger than Liu Biao, and the Taiping army is stronger than the Jingzhou army, which is understandable.

But Zhou Tai had 20,000 soldiers and horses in Badong, and he broke Huang Zu's 50,000 soldiers to force Xiangyang.

Zhou Tai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Xenodu, Zhang Baiqi eats inside and out, he held the holy decree when he rebelled, and it can be clearly written that Liu Jingzhou will support him, and Jingzhou and Yizhou well water will not violate the river water?" Then why did Huang Zu lead an army of 50,000 to the border of Yizhou? Could it be that my father-in-law can only wait for the beating to fight back? I was ordered to send troops this time, you can think that my lord is a bully and a reckless soldier, but no one in Yizhou will think so, Liu Jingzhou is stationed in peace, and everyone in Yizhou thinks that Liu Jingzhou is coming to attack. ”

Kuai Yue's heart is not a taste.

Jingzhou was also calculated by Cao Ying.

If he knew that Zhang Baiqi had a holy decree in his hand, and knew that Zhang Baiqi was anti-volatile, he would definitely suggest that Liu Biao stop Huang Zu from leading troops to deter Yizhou.

No matter how you look at it, Jingzhou's previous military operations were all in solidarity with Zhang Baiqi and Yizhou's return fire, which is common sense.

Cao Ying sowed a seed, took root and sprouted to this point, I am afraid that even Cao Ying himself did not expect it.

It's just that this ending is indeed what Cao Ying didn't expect, he wanted to give Guo Jia a heavy blow to the bottom of the kettle, but let Jingzhou fall into fire and water, judging from the results, Cao Ying is even more happy to see the current situation, Jingzhou, will not be able to participate in the decisive battle between him and Yuan Shao for a few years.

In terms of righteousness, Jingzhou could not come up with a convincing reason to make Zhou Tai withdraw from the army.

Kuai Yue could only retreat and use force to force Zhou Tai to withdraw his troops.

"General Zhou, there are still 60,000 soldiers in Xiangyang, if you are aggressive, Jingzhou will naturally fight to the death in the situation that there is no way out, you have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, what are the odds of winning?"

Salute first and then soldier, have you seen the dagger in Jingzhou?

Zhou Tai didn't think so, Kuai Yue was obviously bluffing.

Jingzhou really dares to fight, do you need to be so polite to him?

Zhou Tai's smile dissipated, his expression was seven points powerful, three points angry, and said, "Oh? 60,000 soldiers! Hmph, a certain has been governing the army in Badong for several years, and he has long been eager to do a big job, Huang Zu's 50,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be enough, if there are really strong generals and male soldiers in Jingzhou, I really want to meet for a while. Out of Badong, a certain only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, after the war, even if the whole army was wiped out, on the Huangquan Road, a certain must carefully count how many Jingzhou troops were buried with a certain burial! ”

The atmosphere in the tent instantly became tense, Zhou Tai was powerful, Jiang Qin also showed a bit of murderous intent as he watched from the sidelines, and Kuai Yue was helpless, even more embarrassed.

Does Jingzhou dare to fight? I don't dare.

Even if it is one for one, after Jingzhou fights Zhou Tai, there are less than 40,000 troops left, I am afraid that even Zhang Xiu will not be able to stop it, let alone Cao Ying and Yuan Shu, if Zhou Tai really dies in Jingzhou, Guo Jia will be indifferent?

A soft sigh.

Kuai Yue said earnestly: "General Zhou, you and I are old friends, I dare to ask, you are stationed outside Xiangyang, and you waste money and food in vain, even if you conquer Xiangyang City, does your lord have the troops to garrison Jingzhou?" ”

Kuai Yue knows it with reason, and moves it with emotion.

Guo Jiagang guarded the Guanzhong, even if he took Jingzhou now, there were no soldiers and horses to garrison, and he insisted on dividing the troops to defend it, which was equivalent to breaking it into pieces, weakening his strength, and giving the enemy a chance to break through one by one.

The defeat of Gongsun Chan was like this.

Doesn't Guo Jia know? Definitely know.

Kuai Yue was really curious, and he really didn't understand why Zhou Tai hadn't withdrawn yet.

Zhou Tai sneered: "Mr. Xenodu, you and I made an agreement back then, Jingzhou and Yizhou will work together to ensure peace, what is the result?" Liu Jingzhou treacherously waved troops to the border of Yizhou, and my lord ordered me to attack Xiangyang, not for Jingzhou's territory. After the fall of Xiangyang, I returned from leading the army, and in the end, who got Jingzhou by reaping the profits, my lord didn't care, it was Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, or Cao Ying, my lord didn't bother to pay attention, in short, Liu Jingzhou lost the sincerity of my lord for several years, and he should pay the price. ”

The words are conclusive, and the reason is gushing.

Zhou Tai's words sound really reasonable, and they are very real.

Kuai Yue sneered in his heart: Not for Jingzhou? If Guo Jia is defeated in Guanzhong, I am afraid that the soldiers under Xiangyang City will not be the soldiers and horses of less than 20,000.

There was a layer of off-string sound, and the more I heard it.

"General Zhou, does this price have to be the surname of my lord?"

Kuai Yue asked tentatively.

If you have to take Liu Biao's life, then Liu Biao will definitely fight against the water, and there is nothing to say.

Zhou Tai said lightly: "If Jingzhou is really sincere and sincere, then take out millions of dollars and grain, so that I can give an explanation to my lord." ”

After speaking, Zhou Tai waved his sleeves and sent off the guests.

Kuai Yue really figured out Zhou Tai this time, no, it should be Guo Jia's plan.

It's really ruthless!

Jingzhou's soldiers and horses did not set foot in Yizhou, but suffered heavy losses, and in the end, they had to pay millions of dollars and grain to Yizhou.

Will Liu Biao agree?

Liu Biao agreed!

Compared with the family name and life, compared to peace and worry-free, what is money and food?

Jingzhou Wenwu was lifeless from top to bottom, and his heart was aggrieved.

Wretch!

When someone beats him to the door of his house, he has to give money and food to invite people back.

It's a shame.

In the final analysis, no one can blame it, Jingzhou is also responsible, why are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the generals who were born and died for Liu Biao in the early stage, afraid of war today?

Because in the early stage, they wanted to fight for power and profit through meritorious service, and to seize power, the Cai family sat firmly on the top spot of the Jingxiang clan, so why should they pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers?

Human life is often the more humble and fearless, the richer and more cowardly.

Zhou Tai returned with a full load, and after returning to Badong County, he began to recruit troops to make up for the lost troops, and sent people to send money and food to Fuling, so that the officials of Fuling could issue a notice to compensate the slaughtered relatives of Hanping County through the population registered in the household register.

As soon as the Taiping army left, Jingzhou also began to operate actively.

After this desperate situation, Liu Biao learned from the pain and prepared for the expansion of the army.

Princes, there is a sense of security only when there is an army.

When Xiangyang was in danger, Zhang Xiu did not lend a hand, and Liu Biao's support for Zhang Xiu in Nanyang could not be counted on when he was in danger, which made Liu Biao also wake up, sooner or later, he still had to exterminate Zhang Xiu.

Expand the army, the goal is to let Jingzhou have 200,000 troops!

Only in this way can Liu Biao no longer be afraid of Guo Jia after getting Guanzhong.

The previous shrunken turtle Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were happier than anyone else at this time, and they took on the expansion of the army.

Obviously, their intentions are well known, and they are nothing more than to further control the military power by expanding the army, and besides, if they don't hold this errand in their hands, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not let other colleagues snatch it and then fight against them.

The war in Jingzhou has come to an end for the time being.

After returning to Chang'an, Guo Jia devoted himself to government affairs, and after the Guanzhong War, he had too many things to deal with.

The Taiping army triumphed in Chang'an, and the wealthy people of Yizhou and the people of Guanzhong welcomed them and spontaneously rewarded the three armies.

The wealthy families of Yizhou paid money and food to set up a celebration banquet, and tirelessly praised Guo Jialong for his fierce vision, rushing to the four seas, and shocking the world...... refused to be Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, and kept Guanzhong, which not only made the Yizhou wealthy people cheer, but also the people were relieved, and the Taiping they hoped for finally had hope.

In the two counties of Guanzhong, Hongnong and Hedong delayed the pace of resuming production and delayed the pace of Guo Jiaqiangsheng because of the war.

It doesn't matter, Guo Jia is patient, he can survive any hero in the world, and giving Guanzhong a few years will also make Guo Jia's strength go to the next level.

In the future planning, Guo Jia expects him to have at least 400,000 troops!

The next strategy, Guo Jia is to wait for the arrival of the battle of Guandu after recuperation!

Will he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

No!

He wants to take the opportunity to sweep through Kanto at the most critical time of the Battle of Guandu!

The government affairs are heavy, Guo Jia forgot to sleep and eat, read the official documents in the Chang'an Mansion, and when he was buried in it, Xu Shu walked over and said to Guo Jia: "Lord, Ma Teng led his relatives to move to Xudu, and passed through Chang'an to visit the lord. ”

Guo Jia put down the pen, and before he could start thinking, he asked Xu Shu to invite Ma Teng in.

At the moment when Xu Shu left, Guo Jia thought about it.

Ma Teng's family moved to Xuchang, which must have been Cao Ying's handiwork.

Ma Teng wanted to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so Cao Ying gave Ma Teng this opportunity.

Objective?

Guo Jia guessed that it would not be far from ten.

Containment of Guanzhong.

It is impossible for Ma Teng to give up the soldiers and horses and the territory to go to Xudu, he must have a henchman to take over in the soldiers and horses and territories in the west of Fufeng, in this way, Ma Teng went to Xudu, Cao Ying is equivalent to pinching the seven inches of Ma Teng's soldiers and horses, to put it simply, it is still necessary to suppress Guo Jia and clamp Guo Jia.

Ma Teng, who entered the hall, did not wear armor, he was dressed in an ordinary sleeved robe, and he could not see the elegance of a literati in him, a rugged man.

"Hehehe, the gentleman's demeanor is still the same, invincible!"

Ma Teng gave Guo Jia a salute with a hearty smile.

Guo Jia smiled lightly and opened his hand to invite him to take a seat.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ma Teng explained that he received the holy decree and took his sons to Xuchang to take up their posts, and the soldiers and horses and territories in the west of Fufeng were handed over to Ma Chao to take over.

Everything was not much different from what Guo Jia expected.

These Guo Jia don't care, he won't remind Ma Teng Cao Ying that he has ill intentions, and there are some things that his mouth can't tell.

Just as the two were talking about the old things of fighting side by side in the past, Xu Shu came to the hall again, and did not shy away from Ma Teng's presence, and bowed his hand to Guo Jia: "Lord, Yuan Shu sent Yang Hong as an envoy to come to visit." ”

Yuan Shu?

Yang Hong?

Guo Jia couldn't cry or laugh, who is the street rat today?

is undoubtedly Yuan Shu, no one wants to be related to Yuan Shu, and everyone avoids it.
