Long before leaving, Guo Jia thought clearly about the strategy of rescuing Cai Yan.

During the first party disaster of Emperor Huan, the Han Emperor had already begun to hand over the power to the eunuchs, because the Han Emperor trusted the eunuchs more.

And the chain reaction caused by this is that the eunuch is in charge of the forbidden army, and begins to carry out crazy oppression on the sergeant clan, and the prison is heavy, and the guards are naturally in the hands of the eunuchs.

There is no one in Luoyang City who can openly save Cai Yan, because no matter who opens his mouth to intercede for Cai Yan, it will trigger an unreserved blow from political opponents.

Therefore, if you want to save Cai Yan, you can only save people secretly, and there are only ten permanent servants who can steal the sky and change the sky.

The Ten Standing Servants used Cai Yan to attack the scholars, and Cai Yan himself was not important, so Guo Jia was sure that as long as there were enough interests to drive him, it would not be difficult to rescue Cai Yan.

This prince association couldn't think of this, so he was hesitating, after all, an eight-year-old child, he couldn't think of it so deeply, he just thought that Guo Jia wanted him to open his mouth to plead with the Son of Heaven, but Jian Shuo thought of it, so he took a step forward and said a few words in the ear of the prince association, and the prince association smiled.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to give Guo Jia a positive answer, Guo Jia raised his hand and signaled him not to speak.

"Your Highness, Jia will first offer the three strategies, and if Your Highness is satisfied, then answer Jia. First, the strategy of self-preservation. After His Majesty's funeral, the prince ascended the throne, and the general leaned towards the government and the opposition, at that time, he would quickly swing the butcher's knife to Zhang Rang and others, and the general would not kill His Royal Highness, because His Royal Highness was unable to return to the sky, as long as he cut off His Royal Highness's right arm, His Royal Highness would have gone, so if His Royal Highness still had thoughts about the throne, he could not lose the assistance of Zhang Rang and others. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jian Shuo's eyes suddenly widened behind the two, and they were full of horror.

The prince who bowed his head and thought deeply also nodded in agreement, if the eunuch party is destroyed, only relatives and scholars are left in the court, and the scholars do not support the abolition of the elder and the young, so they will naturally not help him, and the relatives are He Jin's leaders, and they will inevitably support their nephews, there is no doubt that if it really comes to that point, I am afraid that the general trend has really gone.

"Fengxiao, what is the best way to protect Lord Zhang and the others?"

When the prince asked this, Jian Shuo also listened attentively to see what Guo Jia's clever plan was.

Guo Jia said lightly: "In the early years, His Royal Highness's biological mother Wang Meiren was poisoned by Queen He, His Majesty was furious, and wanted to abolish the queen and even kill Queen He, fortunately, Zhang Rang and other people persuaded His Majesty to let Queen He tide over the difficulties. ”

Jian Shuo was stunned, where did Guo Jia know about the secrets of this palace? However, the matter back then was not airtight, but this kind of matter in the inner courtyard of the palace, ordinary people would not discuss it privately even if they knew, and it was a capital crime to circulate.

Although Wang Meiren, the biological mother of the Prince Association, was poisoned to death by Queen He, and then the Eunuch Party pleaded for mercy, it is said that the Prince Association should hate the Eunuch Party, but at this time, the Prince Association only had a faint look of joy on his face and said: "This plan of filial piety will definitely enable Master Zhang and others to escape." ”

Jian Shuo behind him also nodded thoughtfully, Queen He stayed in the inner courtyard of the deep palace all day, although He Jin was her brother, but it was not said that she would see it, and it was said that it was a long time, but Queen He trusted the eunuchs in the palace more.

No matter how bold Queen He is, he will not dare to disobey Queen He, after all, she is the mother of the new emperor.

Guo Jia continued: "The strategy of self-preservation is not a long-term plan, the general and Lord Zhang and others have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, even if he obstructs it, he will do everything possible to get rid of Lord Zhang and others, so Jia presents the second strategy, the strategy of killing." After the prince argued on the throne, the general said that he was arrogant, and there must be no one in his eyes, at that time, Lord Zhang and Lord Jian could falsely spread that the Empress Dowager He summoned the general to the audience, ambushed the sword and axe hand in the palace, and after the general entered the game, he was besieged and killed in one fell swoop. ”

The prince and Jian Shuo were stunned, it's as simple as that?

Isn't there a ripple effect? What about the consequences of killing the general?

The hesitant and worried prince asked, "If you kill the general, I'm afraid the situation will be difficult to manage." ”

Jian Shuo also agreed with this, although he also wanted to get rid of He Jin, but killing people not only had to consider how to kill, but also what to do after killing.

Guo Jia was always calm and said: "This question, please listen to my Royal Highness's third strategy, the strategy of seizing the throne." As soon as the general dies, the imperial city will inevitably fall into chaos, and at that time, whoever has more soldiers will be able to dominate the situation. And although Master Jian is a captain of the military academy and in charge of the forbidden army, compared to Yuan Shao and others under the general, there are seven people in the Xiyuan Army who work for the general, plus there is also a tiger army of Yuan Shu, a tiger general. There is one person who can be His Royal Highness's external force, enter Beijing to help His Highness stabilize the situation, and help His Highness ascend to the throne. ”

The prince asked eagerly, "Who?" ”

Guo Jia closed his eyes and said lightly: "Xiliang Dong Zhuo." ”

Xiliang Tieqi is famous all over the world, and the Prince Association has naturally heard of it, but how can he be sure that Dong Zhuo will help him sit on the throne.

Guo Jia knew that he had doubts, so he said: "Dong Zhuo has been dissatisfied with Xiliang for a long time, but he can only keep the hungry and cold place with great achievements, if His Royal Highness can let him enter the court and assist His Highness, Dong Zhuo will be grateful to Zaide to assist His Highness, as soon as the Xiliang Iron Horse arrives, the overall situation in Luoyang City has been decided, Dong Zhuo must advocate the abolition of the emperor in order to take the throne, and Lord Jian will ask His Majesty to give him an edict to establish His Royal Highness as the emperor to echo Dong Zhuo, and it is justified to serve His Royal Highness as the new emperor." After His Royal Highness ascends the throne, if he is worried about Dong Zhuo, he can secretly recruit the assistance of the scholar clan and take Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, and at this time, His Royal Highness has already secured the throne. ”

After a moment of silence, the prince exhaled a heavy breath and said solemnly to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao Sance, Gu accepted it." Within three days, Gu Ding sent Cai Yong's daughter. ”

Guo Jia's expression did not fluctuate, and he said lightly: "Jia is just to see if His Royal Highness really wants to recruit Jia, if His Royal Highness sends her, Jia will return to Luoyang after settling down on mundane things, at that time, please give Jia a place to stay." ”

The prince agreed without hesitation, and then left with Jian Shuo full of joy.

The smoke and dust rose, the sound of horses' hooves gradually decreased, looking at the prince Xie who disappeared from view, Guo Jia looked up to the sky and sighed: "Let's have a destiny, Liu Xie, if you want to hate in the future, you will hate your father and emperor, if he works hard, the Han family will not exist in name only in your hands." ”

The overall situation of the matter has been decided, Guo Jia expected that the Prince Association would definitely rescue Cai Yan in order to recruit him, so he let Xu Shu leave first, and Luoyang was a place of right and wrong, and it was useless to stay for a long time.

Two days later, in the evening, when it was dark, a carriage slowly stopped at the head of the village at the foot of the Beibi Mountain.

Jian Shuo personally drove Cai Yan here, and after seeing Guo Jia, Jian Shuo hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness has a message for the old slave to tell you, His Royal Highness said that those who are good for the country love it, and those who harm the country are evil. ”

Guo Jia didn't answer Jian Shuo, but just looked at Jian Shuo's back when he left and muttered: "If you had been born ten years earlier, you might have really done Qi Huangong." ”

Coming to Luoyang to borrow the hand of the Prince's Association to rescue Cai Yan this time was just Guo Jia's cheap plan, he couldn't serve the Prince's Association, and now that he was done, it was time to part ways.

walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain, and Cai Yan was really sitting inside.

Although she is not the best in the world, she is also a delicate and elegant beauty, at this time, there is a bit of vicissitudes hidden in her pale face, and she can know how much weight she has lost just by looking at her cheeks.

Entering the carriage and coming to Cai Yan, Guo Jia stretched out his hand and gently stroked her face, wiped away the tears that kept pouring out the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, don't cry." ”

Cai Yan's face was calm, but tears were pouring out, his eyes kept stopping on Guo Jia's face, and he didn't say a word.

Guo Jia, who drove away overnight, did not stop in a forest until late at night, originally planning to stay up late to hurry, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to be pulled into the carriage by Cai Yan.

Haojie moonlight shines into the car through the car window, Cai Yansai's skin is as crystal clear as white jade, and the green silk falls on the chest like a waterfall to block the twin peaks, looming, which is unstoppable.

Guo Jia, who was hooked by Cai Yan's neck, smiled bitterly: "Daughter-in-law, your pregnancy can't be fake, right?" Isn't it good for the child to do this now? ”

Cai Yan turned over and pressed Guo Jia under him, and for the first time let Guo Jia see her eyes blurry and exuding a look of love, lying on Guo Jia, Cai Yan lowered his head and kissed Guo Jia gently, took the initiative to tease his **, ripped off the jade belt around Guo Jia's waist, and opened the sleeve robe, Cai Yan lowered his head and whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "Now, I just want you to possess me, and I can't control the rest." ”

Gently holding Cai Yan's face and feeling the tenderness of her delicate body, Guo Jia saw that there was a look of obsession in her eyes.

When the sky was faintly bright, Cai Yan leaned on Guo Jia's shoulder, clinging to his strong body, as if hoping to be able to connect with him.

Fengxiao, you conquered me Cai Yan, even if I die in your arms now, I Cai Yan is willing.

……

Half a month later, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, inside the big tent.

Facing the map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Guo Jia, who was wearing a white brocade robe, wore a military crown, with a heroic posture and outstanding demeanor.

Behind Guo Jia, the left and right columns are clearly distinguished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today Jia has a word to tell you here, Jia was born in a poor family, saw through the heat and coldness of the world, the Han family has no way, the courtiers annihilated, the scholars are not benevolent, so that the people are not happy, although Jia is not talented, but I would like to help the world as my own responsibility, and I hope that you will help each other, and Jia together to clear the world, and the world is peaceful. Jia hopes that everyone will ask themselves in their hearts: Guo Jia, is he a master worth following? Guo Jia, can he be kind to the people of the world? ”

Hardly without any hesitation.

The left column is headed by Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, Sima Ju, Xu He, Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, and Gao Shun.

The right column is headed by Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Zhen Yao, Guo Xiu, Guo Qi, Guo Zhi, and Guo Ping.

Qi Qi knelt down facing Guo Jia's back, and said firmly and passionately in unison:

"Meet the Lord!"
