Guo Jia, who held the pass, was already on par with Yuan Shao, who returned to Hebei after a fiasco, in terms of strength, and because he was the winner, so during this period, Guo Jia's prestige in the world had overwhelmed Yuan Shao, and the reputation of the most powerful prince in the world had shifted from Yuan Shao's head to Guo Jia's side.

The Son of Heaven is weak, the Han family exists in name only, and the first person who can dominate the ups and downs and control the world today is undoubtedly Guo Jia.

Many years ago, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, who watched the sky at night and estimated the development of the situation, had expected today's situation, the dimness of the imperial court was a sign of the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the emperor rose in the Central Plains, the emperor was eyeing the west, the doctor was flickering in the south, faintly lurking, the three princes were shining in Hebei, and the imperial officials were waiting for the wind and clouds to meet in the east.

Nowadays, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji look at the general trend and have understood the characters represented by the five stars of the princes, the imperial court is naturally Liu Xie, the emperor is Cao Ying, the emperor is Guo Jia, the third prince is Yuan Shao, doctor, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji thought it was Liu Biao, and the prince made the two unpredictable.

A few years ago, they thought it was Liu Bei, and later, they thought it was Lu Bu, but this prince has always been undazzling, dark, and tepid, which is elusive, combined with the hegemony of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, it seems that it does not match.

The celestial aspect is a sign that may not be revealed in great detail, which means that a sign may not occur until ten or twenty years later, but it may not be in front of you.

If Zuo Ci Yuji could inform Guo Jia of the things they had speculated about observing the sky at night, then Guo Jia would only tell them with a smile: The doctor in the south can never be Liu Biao, Liu Biao only has ten years of life, how can he control the world? The official will never be Lu Bu or Liu Bei, Liu Bei is just a passerby in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu is about to face the end of the road.

Oriental official, Guo Jiaruo came to guess, and it was expected that there was only one person, Sun Zhongmou.

And Dr. Southern, Guo Jia is afraid that he will guess a result that shocks everyone: Zhuge Kongming.

In history, Zhuge Liang was a minister, not a lord, but Liu Bei, the emperor who blinked in the blink of an eye, did not last long, and Shu Han entered the period of Zhuge Liang's reign, Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, more like an uncrowned emperor.

The Mandate of Heaven may be predestined, and Tianzhao is changing with the changes in the current situation, Guo Jia has sprung up, with this variable, if he knows that there are still doctors dormant in the south, and there are still eunuchs in the east who have not yet awakened, he is afraid that he will do everything to send people to kill Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan.

Cao Ying couldn't wait to exterminate Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others in the blink of an eye, and Guo Jia was also eager to let the current enemy and future rival return to Huangquan as soon as possible.

At the end of autumn, Guo Jia personally led 10,000 guards to inspect the military camps in Padang and Hanzhong.

Standing at his height, with his status, not to mention that Liu Biao in Jingzhou sent countless meticulous works to spy on intelligence in Yizhou, even Yuan Shao in Hebei also cared about Guo Jia's every move every day.

The princes come and go to wary of each other, Guo Jia also sent fine works to various princes' territories, and in the same way, his territories must also have many fine works sent by other princes.

Guo Jia knows this, but he can't prevent the appearance of the enemy.

The sea of people is vast, Guo Jia can't make the city full of wind and rain for a few small works, the normal life of the people will be disrupted by the excessive tension of the authorities, the detailed work of spying intelligence will not be in groups, they will only be the most inconspicuous person in the crowd, Guo Jia can catch one today, and the day after tomorrow can also catch one, but it will never be finished, the city gate of Chengdu will not be closed in the non-war period, even if the military alarm is sounded in Yizhou, the city gate of Chengdu Quartet will only be closed at night and martial law.

Grasp the meticulous work, search for spies, if you do it with great fanfare, it will make people panic and nervous, and do it in a low-key manner, the manpower and financial resources consumed are unimaginably huge, not to mention that every prince has such a situation, Guo Jia does not want to establish a reading force like Jinyiwei, although the original intention is good, but this kind of department that has the control over the life and death of others, there will always be a day when it becomes a tool for personal gain.

The news of Guo Jia's inspection of the camp of Badong and Hanzhong Navy Division spread far and wide, he did not go secretly, the formation of the naval army, and the construction of warships were also public, and the people of Yizhou knew that the other princes had also heard the rumors.

Liu Biao in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, is old, and his unbridled and carefree posture in the past has become a sad expression.

It is expected that by the spring of next year, he will have 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.

This should have been a capital that made him full of security and able to look in all directions.

But he was not happy at all.

The bamboo slip with Yizhou information written on it was thrown to the ground by Liu Biao with a wave of his hand, and he was rarely so out of shape and so ungraceful.

"Guo Jia, Guo Jia! Guo Jia!! Why are you aggressive? ”

In the spacious, bright and exquisitely furnished hall, Liu Biao was furious, and Cai Mao, who reported the military situation, hung his head, neither comforting Liu Biao nor solving problems for him.

Jingzhou expands the army, Cai Mao has arranged the actions in private, and the new army has been planted by him, although he is from the Jingxiang family, he still understands a shallow but countless talented people are unwilling to admit the truth: there are soldiers, only power, talent, troubled times may not live long.

No matter how talented you are in the Jingxiang clan, when thousands of troops and horses are overwhelming and destroying people, your poetry, your talent, your fame, your background, and your family background can't stop the sword and gun wielded by a nobody.

Liu Biao is the world's eight horses and royal family relatives, Kuai Yue Kuai Liang is also a famous person in Jingxiang, Cai Mao is not as good as them, when they chant the wind and the moon, Cai Mao does not even have the capital to attach the association, but now, Cai Mao can even make Jingzhou change hands in a short period of time, he wants to launch a mutiny, Liu Biao doesn't even know how he died, his pillow person is the daughter of the Cai family, but Cai Mao does not have the courage to jump up and claim the king, he can subvert Liu Biao's rule in Jingzhou, but he may not have the ability to govern Jingzhou well, and at the same time can sit on an equal footing with other princes, What's more, because he and Liu Biao are in-laws, they naturally stand on the same front after combining interests.

Liu Biao could only vent his anger by smashing objects like this.

After Zhou Tai Jiang Qin retreated, Jingzhou and Guo Jia reconciled, Liu Biao thought that he could sit back and relax for another ten years, because Cao Ying would next enter a situation of competing with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu was about to face the fall after becoming emperor, Jiangdong Sun Ce was unstoppable, and he was majestic, this is a fact, but Liu Biao had an army of 200,000, he was not afraid of Sun Ce, Jiangdong could not develop faster than Jingzhou, especially after Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, he would also enter a period of recuperation.

Guo Jia, who made Liu Biao the most jealous, had just won Guanzhong, and the focus of his reign in the next few years would naturally be Guanzhong.

But at this time, news came that Hanzhong and Badong had formed a naval army.

Liu Biaogang put down his heart for a few days, and once again hung up.

Hanzhong and Padang have water armies, what does it mean?

From Hanzhong and Badong, one north and one south, from the waterway into Nanyang County and Jianping County, plus the army of foot soldiers, Xiangyang may even be trapped in the north and southwest overnight.

The river flows from west to east, and when the navy of Yizhou advances eastward, the navy of Jingzhou has to swim against the current and encounter the narrow geographical advantage of Yizhou.

"Lord, what should we do now?"

The lifeless Liu Biao knelt in front of the low table that had been kicked over by him, silent for half an hour, as if in a state of meditation, and he closed his eyes, as if a monk had passed away.

Cai Mao can understand Liu's mood.

An Sheng said that it was not a few days later, but he had to be scared, and it was difficult to accept such a blow if he changed.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of disappointment, Liu Biao never denied Cai Mao's ability, but at the critical moment, why did he only ask instead of giving advice?

How? How?

Liu Biao laughed unusually miserably, stood up and waved his sleeves, and said weakly: "Go down and start preparing to build a navy, set up a defense in the dangerous places on the river, at least before the Yizhou navy is formed, Jingzhou must be prepared for prevention." ”

Liu Biao was helpless, and the usefulness of the army changed according to the actual situation.

Guo Jia has a naval army, which can drive straight in, go down the river, fight Jingzhou, and cut down Jiangdong, which is naturally very useful.

There is a naval army in Jiangdong, which can defend the south through the Yangtze River, which is to give full play to the geographical advantages.

However, if Jingzhou has a naval army, it may not be as advantageous and useful as that of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

Of course, if Liu Biao wants to fight Jiangdong, there is a naval army that will naturally add wings to the tiger, but Liu Biao is the king of Shoucheng, he wants to guard against the Central Plains, Jiangdong, Yizhou, and surrounded by enemies on three sides.

Jingzhou's navy is at most to prevent Yizhou Guo Jia from sending troops from the waterway, Xiangyang is in the north of Jingzhou, if it is in the south of the Yangtze River, the navy can play a good role in protecting Xiangyang, but Xiangyang can't use the Yangtze River moat, Liu Biao's navy, from the role of the enemy from the Central Plains can not play an advantage, if Cao Ying comes to fight Xiangyang, it is definitely not a boat, but a horse.

Guo Jia can ride a boat or a horse.

The situation is like this, Liu Biao passively wants to allocate at least 100,000 of the 200,000 troops to form a naval army to prevent Guo Jia in Yizhou, you must know that after Guo Jia takes Guanzhong, Yizhou can raise 200,000 troops in the past, and this number will probably not change in the future, but in the past, the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou also have to guard against Li Wei and Guo Yan in Guanzhong, and in the future, Guo Jia can draw more troops to the east.

Kuai Yue, who got the news slowly, ran to meet Liu Biao, Liu Biao absentmindedly flipped through the bamboo slips in the study, waved his hand and said: "Different degrees, I am in a bad mood today, and I will talk about it when I have something to say." ”

Kuai Yue arched his hand and said: "My lord, Guo Jia is building a naval army in Yizhou, I am afraid there is another mystery in this matter." ”

Hmph Liu Biao snorted coldly, put down the bamboo slips, brushed his sleeves and left.

Once, the two Kuai Yue brothers said that Guo Jia would focus on operating Guanzhong, and within a few months, news came from Yizhou that Guo Jia had formed a water army.

What are trolls used for? It must be down the river!

Liu Biao was in a very bad mood at this time, and he didn't want to listen to what Kuai Yue said anymore, anyway, Guo Jia's formation of a naval army is true, whether there is a mystery or not, this point cannot be fake.

Kuai Yue walked out of Liu Biao's mansion, the autumn wind swept by, he looked up at the blue sky, and said to himself: "Guo Jia, your concealment is more clever than the darkness of Chen Cang." ”
