Chapter 66 looks at the big picture

Guo Jia didn't express his position at the first time about sending protons to Xudu, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info//Update fast//Uploaded by netizens==

Of course, it is impossible to send his son as a hostage.

But he had to think about it for a few days, in fact, he wanted to wait and see, delay for a while, and whether anyone under his command would come to persuade him to bow to Cao Cào.

It is inevitable that there will be some surrender factions under every prince, but whether this atmosphere of surrender has formed a force to be reckoned with is the key.

Sitting on a large territory in Yizhou and Kansai, the officials under Guo Jia's command must also have grass on the wall, if he one day collapses and sinks into the sand and faces defeat, the situation of flying separately will definitely occur when the catastrophe comes.

Now that Cao Cào owns half of the country, his power is monstrous, and with the political advantage of coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, Guo Jia is very curious to see if there are any officials in important positions under his rule.

Just like Cao Cào is self-reliant, not everyone under his rule is willing to go to the dark with him, Guo Jia wants to fight Cao Cào to the end, and it is inevitable that not everyone will follow him with the mentality of preferring to be broken rather than complete.

Whether it is out of greed and fear of death, or the attitude of the officials who want to continue with the original intention, Guo Jia now wants to test it.

Those generals who go in and out of him naturally don't have to worry, and some of the officials in Yizhou Mansion who really control the power must also support Guo Jia and Cao Cào to compete for the world, but it will be difficult for the officials below.

At night, Guofu, which was always full of laughter in the past, was gloomy.

At dinner, the wives and concubines were silent, and the children ate in peace, silent.

Guo Jia's eating movements were as usual, his expression was calm, while the others seemed uneasy, Zhen Jiang, Cai Yan, and Da Qiao would glance at Guo Jia from time to time, and the atmosphere was very weird.

If Guo Jia wants to send his son to be a proton, these three mothers will definitely not be able to stop him.

Cai Yan thinks that Guo Jia will not compromise in ninety percent, but that one percent makes her uneasy.

Today, whether Guo Jia will sacrifice anyone for hegemony, Cai Yan is not sure.

Sending protons is to reassure Cao Cào, and it is to give up a weakness for Cao Cào to pinch, mihuo the enemy, and paralyze the enemy.

After eating half full, Guo Jia got up and went to the study.

Several wives and concubines looked at Guo Jia's back, and it was Zhen Jiang who looked complicated.

She is Guo Jia's wife and the mother-in-law of all Guo Jia's children, but at this juncture, she can't be generous, if Guo Jia sends Guo Jin to Xuchang, she will be in pain.

In the quiet study, Guo Jia flipped through the scrolls, as usual.

Mén was pushed away, and Diao Chan held a plate with steaming soup bowls on it.

"Didn't you just have dinner?"

Guo Jia put away the scroll and asked with some surprise.

Diao Chan smiled sweetly and said to him: "In the past few months, the husband has lost a lot of weight, and the concubine has stewed some supplements for the husband to replenish his body. ”

Since getting Xun Yu's bad news, Guo Jia has been sluggish, and he can barely cope with eating every day, he doesn't know himself, but in the eyes of others, he knows his physical condition.

Guo Jia put down the scroll, walked to the table, shook Diao Chan's hand and said gently: "I'm bothering you." ”

Diao Chan shook Guo Jia's hand, shook his head and said, "Husband is out of sight like this." ”

Just then, a voice came from outside Mén.

"Father, the child asks to see."

Guo Jia was stunned, Diao Chan didn't expect it, and said in surprise: "Ye'er is back?" ”

Guo Ye is in the barracks and rarely returns home.

Diao Chan got up and left, and when he opened Mén to face Guo Ye, Guo Ye didn't expect Diao Chan to be here, so he hurriedly saluted and greeted.

Guo Ye rushed home as soon as he learned of the imperial edict, he didn't even take off his armor, and was about to step into the study before he reacted, took off his helmet and walked in with his hand.

Guo Jia, who was sitting at the table with a bowl of soup, asked him unexpectedly, "Why did you go home today?" ”

With Guo Ye now only at the level of a school captain, he can't leave the barracks at will, so as to be ready to respond to military changes at any time and obey the orders of his superiors.

Guo Ye put his helmet on the ground, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to Guo Jialian, his young face full of determination.

"Child, please go to Xuchang."

Guo Jia put down the bowl in his hand again and asked him suspiciously, "Oh? Why? ”

Guo Ye bowed deeply, bowed to the ground, and said in a firm tone: "The second brother and the third brother are still old, and the child, as the eldest son, should take on this responsibility. Although the child is clumsy, he also knows that Jingzhou Mu is seriously ill at present, and the heaven-sent opportunity for his father to go east is in front of him, and it is not appropriate to turn against Cao Cào at this time, and the child is willing to go to Xuchang to dispel Cao Cào's concerns about his father. ”

"Get up."

Guo Jia said softly.

Guo Ye raised his head, saw Guo Jia patting the position beside him, and moved over and knelt beside Guo Jia.

Handing the soup bowl that was still hot on the table to him, Guo Jia said softly: "This is the soup made by your aunt, the conditions in your military camp are not as good as at home, hurry up and drink it." ”

Guo Ye hesitated for a moment, and then took a big gulp of the bowl and drank it, completely uneasy about the taste, and still looked at Guo Jia intently.

A light smile appeared on Guo Jia's face, very pleased.

At first glance, this eldest son is not outstanding except for his appearance, but for so many years, he has never disappointed Guo Jia.

"Ye'er, you must look at the overall situation, don't just focus on the part. It's no secret that Wei's father, Cao Cào, Sun Quan, and all three parties are eyeing Jingzhou. Do you think Cao Cào is now tempting me? No, he was trying to me off. The successive provocations just wanted me to lose my mind and miss the opportunity to sweep Jingzhou. Cao càoxing is suspicious, if his father lets him control and obeys his request, he will become suspicious. Under his father's rule, there has been no war in recent years, and Cao Cào knows all this. In terms of geographical advantages, Cao Cào was able to capture Xiangyang as soon as possible, and his father would have pocketed all the territories south of the Yangtze River before. Therefore, Cao Cào wanted to make sure that his father would not rush him to Jingzhou before he invaded, so he had to try to provoke a war. ”

Guo Ye listened attentively, his thinking turned sharply, and after Guo Jia's voice fell, he immediately asked: "As soon as the two families start fighting, wouldn't it benefit Sun Quan and the fisherman?" ”

Guo Jia smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, and said: "No, what Cao Cào wants to do is to attract his father's attention to the north, and as soon as the war starts, he only needs to contain his father's soldiers and horses, and Jingzhou will be his bag at that time." As for Sun Quan, his strength is not good, if he wants to take Jingzhou, Cao Cào and I can take it by force, he can only take it skillfully, because his soldiers and horses enter Jingzhou, if Jingzhou resists, he will have to fight a battle with a chance of winning at most seventy percent, even if he wins, Sun Quan can't stop his father or Cao Cào from coming again, therefore, Sun Quan wants Jingzhou, and can only wait and see the situation for the time being, before his father and Cao Cào have no strength, he does not dare to step into a Jingzhou that still has the ability to resist, although Liu Biao's 200,000 soldiers and horses are already controlled by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but Jingzhou and Jiangdong, There is a feud, how could Cai Mao not resist and surrender to Jiangdong? ”

After Guo Jia did this, Guo Ye suddenly became enlightened, but there was still a question.

"Father, if there is a war with Cao Cào, then doesn't my father want Jingzhou?"

Guo Jia did not answer this question directly, but said: "Yizhou used to be Liu Yan's, Chang'an used to be Li Wei Guo Yan's, and Liangzhou used to be Han Sui's. Ye'er, those who have become a great business, can not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, as long as the gains and losses of a moment are not enough to be fatal, do not linger, those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner, and those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment. Look far ahead, broaden your horizons. ”

Guo Ye seemed to have some epiphany, but he had to digest it slowly by himself.

Since sending protons to Xuchang would not dispel Cao Cào's doubts, Guo Ye also guessed Guo Jia's decision, and immediately got up to say goodbye to Guo Jia.

"The boy said goodbye, there is no order to leave the barracks, and now he will go back and receive twenty military sticks."

Guo Jia nodded and watched him leave.

Taking out a piece of white silk from the low table, Guo Jia took the pen and wrote a few lines, and then stamped his own seal at the place where he fell, and stuffed the white silk into a bag.

Walking out of the study, Guo Jia called Xiao Yi from the entrance of the courtyard.

"My lord, what do you command?"

Xiao Yi came to Guo Jia.

Handing him the bag, Guo Jia said softly: "You send one of your cronies out of the city overnight to put this bag into Ma Chao's hands, be sure to keep it secret, and you must also give it to Ma Chao in person, and you must not reveal your whereabouts to others." ”

Xiao Yi took the bag: "Since this bag is so important, why don't you send it to Liangzhou in person?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "No, you can't go, find a reliable subordinate, you can also secretly send someone to keep an eye on the person who delivered the letter. ”

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ren are the commanders of Guo Jia's personal guards, and they can't act rashly, they will attract people's eyes.

Xiao Yi understood, and immediately went down to start the cào office.

Having one person deliver a letter and then sending someone to secretly protect and monitor the two has no contact with each other, and they don't know what the other party is doing, strengthens the confidentiality and security of information.

Late at night, Guo Jia pushed away the mén of Da Qiao's boudoir.

The candlelight was shining, and Da Qiao sat on the side of Chuáng and had not yet fallen asleep, with tears on his face that had not yet dried, and he was in a daze.

Even Guo Jia walked to her without realizing it.

It wasn't until Guo Jia's fingers slid across the corners of her eyes to wipe away the tears for him that she woke up suddenly.

"Husband."

Big Joe turned his head away and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

"What happened?"

Guo Jia pulled her body to the front, Da Qiao hung his head and was silent for a while before leaning into his arms, and said faintly: "Yu'er came before, if his husband wants to send someone to Xuchang, he is willing to go." His eldest brother is a general, and his second brother is literate, so he is the only one who is useless, and he is not doing his job behind the backs of outsiders, he feels that his husband's face is dull, and if he can contribute to his husband, he is not afraid to go to Xuchang. ”

Guo Jia sighed slightly, a child who is only a few years old, can say this, Guo Jia is very proud.

Guo Yu doesn't like to learn martial arts, but also doesn't like to read, he likes to tinker with some tricks all day long, the three sons of the outsider Guo Jia, one is literate and one is martial, and one is not successful.
