NO.596 Jing Xiang congratulates King Wu, Ma Tan to Guo Jia

Sun Quan's promotion to the throne of King Wu is huge, in Sun Quan's view, although Jiangdong has not prospered much in his hands in recent years, but the title of the Sun family has been rising, Sun Jian was only a captain when he raised the army, and Sun Ce's position as a general was still finally obtained from Xu Du, but he first got the marquis, and then the throne of Jin, from this point of view, Sun Quan can also be regarded as the glory of the Sun family, adding a lot of color.

The Jiangdong ministers did not care about Sun Quan's promotion to the throne, but were extremely concerned about Guo Jiade's Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

In these years, the throne did not bring any substantial benefits to the princes, Sun Quan's ministers knew much better than him, the decline of the Han family was almost no prestige, Sun Quan was promoted to the throne, and the treatment was no different from the previous Marquis Wu, except for the frame, the honor guard was more luxurious, and the change was just a title.

And Guo Jia's arrival gave the Jiangdong court a strange atmosphere.

Guo Jia is the mastermind of Cao Ying, although his reputation is high, but he only came to Jiangdong to help Sun Quan resist Jing Xiang for a while, and one day, Guo Jia will return to Hebei. In this way, it is difficult for Guo Jia to be united with the Jiangdong ministers, and everyone understands that even if he resists the Jingxiang offensive this time, but in the future, Cao Cao will sit big, won't he covet the land of the six counties of Jiangdong?

Sun Quan's move is obviously a step and a step.

And Guo Jia is not Zhou Yu, although the two have the same skills, and even say that Guo Jia is slightly better than Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu is a Jiangdong person after all, and he is sympathetic to the soldiers in the army, and all the strategies are determined by the development of Jiangdong. But what about Guo Jia? Will he be like Zhou Yu and treat the lieutenant generals and colonels well?

Cao Cao sent this person here, and the fundamental purpose was to sit back and watch the two tigers fight. Although Jiangdong is even difficult to call a tiger now, whether it is Jiangdong or Jingxiang, it is beneficial to Cao Cao to lose soldiers and horses......

Guo Jia also watched the ceremony when Sun Quan was promoted, and watched Jingxiang and all the generals in the palace with suspicions, and Guo Jia was also quite embarrassed in his heart.

But whenever the two armies compete, the soldiers' lives are the basis of the battle, and the attitude of the generals in Jiangdong really made Guo Jia suspect that when he clashed with Jingxiang in the future, these soldiers were willing to exert a lot of strength......

It's just that Guo Jia also understands that this time he first arrived in Jiangdong. At least a few wins over Jing Xiang. In order to convince the Jiangdong generals and be willing to drive, so it is better to plan well if they hope that the Jiangdong generals will change their attitudes. In the coming year, if Jingxiang's army and horses attacked Jiangdong. How to deal with ......

Sun Quan, who had been languishing for many days, was wearing a python robe. The head was tied with a high crown, and the seal of King Wu was obtained from the angel's hand, but it was also swept away from decadence. It looks a little high-spirited.

At this moment, the ministers in the hall also knew that King Wu was proud, so they simply pressed the confusion in their hearts, and congratulated Sun Quan on taking this great position.

Sun Quan saw that the ministers were respectful and rejoiced in his heart, but he heard the waiters outside the hall report loudly, Jingxiang envoy, and also congratulated King Wu.

The waiter's voice fell, Sun Quan and the ministers in the hall were all stunned, this time the Tang King was promoted, Sun Quan did not send someone to Xiangyang to congratulate, but he never thought that Pang Shanmin actually sent an envoy to Jianye, could it be that Pang Shanmin really had nothing to do with Sun Quan's promotion to the position of King Wu?

Even Sun Quan didn't believe that with the current power of Jingxiang, Pang Shanmin was willing to go hand in hand with him.

Just thinking about it, the envoy had entered the main hall, and Sun Quan saw that he had come to make Fengshen handsome, young and heroic, and couldn't help laughing: "The lonely king sees that you are not very old, why did Jing Xiang make you an envoy, could it be that my sister-in-law is no longer available?" ”

Hearing Sun Quan's provocative words, the young man's face was as usual, he arched his hand to Sun Quan, and said with a loud smile: "In recent years, I Jingxiang and important ministers have important affairs, so I took the initiative to ask King Tang for this errand, and I came uninvited, and I hope that King Wu will be generous, and I will not care about it." ”

The young man said, the ministers in the hall were all bright-eyed, this son is not humble or arrogant, in the face of the Manchu Jiangdong civil and military, there is no fear, but talk eloquently, Sun Quan was also impressed by his demeanor, and said to the visitor: "You can tell Sun the name of the envoy!" ”

"Ma Yan, Ma Youchang." Ma Jian said and said to Sun Quan: "In the next far to Jiangdong, in addition to Wu Wanghe, but also because of admiration for Mr. Fengxiao's demeanor, Tang Wang He Yijian has been brought, and I hope that Wu Houyun will sit with Mr. Fengxiao in the next seat, and fulfill his long-cherished wish!" ”

Sun Quan frowned slightly when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that the boy under the hall was so uninteresting, did this guy come to congratulate him on his promotion to the king of Wu, or did he come to visit Guo Jia?

Could it be that in the eyes of this Jingxiang envoy, he is not as dignified as King Wu, and he is not as good as a Cao Ying strategist?

As soon as Sun Quan's expression changed, it was naturally difficult to escape Guo Jia's eyes, Guo Jia glanced at Ma Jian meaningfully, but saw that Ma Jian did not dodge or dodge, and approached Guo Jia and smiled at Guo Jia: "Mr. Fengxiao, I know that Mr. Zhizhi has been discussing the war with the courtiers for the coming year for several days. ”

Ma Tan's words did not lower his voice, many Jiangdong ministers in the hall heard it clearly, Cheng Pu only snorted coldly, but did not speak, but the grumpy Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, but scolded Ma Tan, too uninteresting.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao also said: "Jing Xiang is here to make a noise? Today is the day of great joy for my King Wu! ”

"When I first arrived, I congratulated King Wu, but is it rude?" Ma Tan pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand at Sun Quan, and said, "Could it be that King Wu is unwilling to sit at the same table with Mr. Fengxiao?" Could it be that the king is suspicious of being inferior to the lower position? ”

Sun Quan heard Ma Tan's words and didn't know how to answer, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "When he left Hebei, the prime minister had told Guo that in the past few months, Guo had been the minister of Jiangdong, but if King Wu had an order, Guo had nothing to do!" Today is the day of King Wu's great joy, what do you ask Guo Mou, you can talk about it another day! ”

Guo Jia said, Sun Quan's face was a little pale, but Ma Jian didn't care and said, "How long will Mr. stay in Jiangdong?" It's good to reply to King Tang in the next, if Mr. comes and goes in a hurry, I will wait for Mr. to leave, and then cut down Jiangdong ......"

"Presumptuous!" When Cheng Pu heard Ma Jian's words, he couldn't help but be furious, and said to Ma Yan: "Could it be that in the eyes of King Tang, he is only afraid of Guo Jia?" Regard my lord and the ministers of Jiangdong as nothing? ”

When Ma Tan heard this, he pretended to be frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "If you lose your words, don't blame the old general...... However, in the next view, the general should be old and strong, may I ask the old general? ”

Cheng Pu heard this: "Old man Cheng Demou! ”

"It turned out to be General Cheng, the third old minister. Worthy of admiration! After a while, he came back to his senses and said to Cheng Pu: "I don't know where the old general is here?" General Han Lao and General Cheng are both Jiangdong veterans, and their reputations are ...... I also want to see the honor of General Han! ”

Han Dang was killed by the Jingxiang rebel army in the battle of Jiangxia in the past, and as soon as Ma Yan's voice fell, Cheng Pu jumped like thunder and said: "Thief dares!" The death of the righteous duke is all caused by your Jingxiang! You dare to be in front of the old man. Pretend to be confused! ”

Hearing this, Ma Jian hurriedly said: "I am young in the next year." I don't know the war in Jiangxia in the past......"

Seeing that Ma Tan's expression was sincere and did not seem to be fake, Cheng Pu had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and snort coldly. Don't talk to Ma Yan anymore. Ma Tan saw this. He said to Guo Jia: "I really didn't know that the old general and I Jingxiang had a feud, I knew it was like this, how could I see Mr. in Xia." Traveling to Koto ......"

Guo Jia was annoyed when he heard this, Ma Jian did not mention Sun Quan's promotion to the king of Wu since he entered the palace, just hearing this person's words, Guo Jia had expected that Ma Jian was not shallow, but this guy pretended to be crazy and stupid from beginning to end, and did not say anything about Sun Quan's promotion to King Wu, and his words were faintly aimed at him, the mastermind of Jiangdong......

Thinking of this, Guo Jia whispered to Ma Yan: "The kid wants to divide Jing Xiang's plan, can't Guo see it?" ”

"A plan to divide the sky?" Ma Jian sneered when he heard this, and whispered to Guo Jia: "When did Mr. Fengxiao and King Wu have one heart and one mind?" There is no need to be separated, Mr. Fengxiao is not a person from Jiangdong, and he is here only because he admires Mr. talent, and wants to give him advice when he is free. ”

The two talked in a low voice, although Sun Quan could hardly hear the words of the two, but watching the "respectful" look on Ma Tan's face, Sun Quan was extremely annoyed.

Guo Jia knew that if he allowed Ma Jian to be so presumptuous, he was afraid that after the Jiangdong ministers left, it would be difficult to find Ma Tan's bad luck, but they wanted to take this evil fire on themselves.

Ma Jian was not annoyed when he saw this, but instead invited the teacher to be a well-behaved student, serving Guo Jia in front of him, adding wine and food to him, and treating him with hospitality.

It wasn't until the end of the banquet that Ma Jian resigned in front of Sun Quan, and said to Sun Quan: "I admire Mr. Fengxiao's talent in the next place, and I hope that Wu Houyun will stay in the post house for more ......time."

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded slightly, and after Ma Jian left, Sun Quan scolded: "Jingxiang envoy is such a good thing? Such an eyeless messenger, this is the first time the Lone King has encountered it! ”

Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu were also annoyed when they heard this, but after they were angry, the Jiangdong ministers had nothing to do with Ma Yan.

Ma Jian came to Jiangdong to "congratulate" King Wu, and there was no rudeness in etiquette, so he couldn't be punished for treating Guo Jia too respectfully......

For Guo Jia alone, far more important than the entire Jiangdong, such favoritism, Ma Jian can be regarded as the ultimate, Zhang Zhao thought for a long time, if there is a gain, he said to Sun Quan: "Could it be that Ma Jian is here to separate the relationship between the lord and Mr. Fengxiao?" ”

"What does Lone have to do with that Guo Fengxiao?" Sun Quan snorted coldly and said to Zhang Zhao: "Cao Cao is really willing, he actually lent me Jiangdong such a person, but this person is loyal to Cao Cao, even if the lone king does not repay it, it is impossible!" ”

"Don't be impatient, and see if Guo Jia has the ability to resist Jing Xiang, it's not too late for the lord to make a decision!" Zhang Zhao said, but Cheng Pu said: "Guo Jia is Cao Ying's character after all, although Cao Cao wants to be good with the main bus, but the Central Plains and my Jiangdong are friends and enemies!" According to the old man, it is better to wait for this person to be used and hostage to Jianye, this person is friends with Pang Shanmin, and Cao Cao's confidants, both of them may be jealous of me Jiangdong because of this person! ”

Cheng Pu said, Sun Quan's eyes lit up, but Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "The old general's words are inappropriate, the two princes may be jealous of Jiangdong because of Guo Jia, but if I wait for Guo Jia to be in Jianye, I will have a bad relationship with Cao Cao, Jiangdong can only deal with Jing Xiang now, and I can't do it, if there is Cao Cao's pressure again, how should I Jiangdong deal with it?" ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded slightly, but for Guo Jia, he was a little disgusted in his heart, and after hesitating for a while, Sun Quan said to Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zibu, is there a way to make that Guo Jia use it for my Jiangdong?" ”

Zhang Zhao thought for a long time, and said to Sun Quan: "I have heard that Guo Fengxiao is unruly, and the lord can give more beauties to marry him, and see that Guo Jia has affection for Jiangdong." ”

Sun Quan nodded slightly when he heard this, and ordered Zhang Zhao to prepare ten beauties and send them to Guo Jia's mansion......

Early the next morning, Ma Jian went to Guo's mansion, Guo Jia saw Ma Jian coming, and said with a cold face: "Your kid's ability to pretend to be wooden is not bad, and he has disgusted King Wu once yesterday." What is the matter with Guo today? ”

"Come and see the beauty given by King Wu, and visit Mr. by the way, and ask Mr. to solve his doubts." After Ma Jian said that, Guo Jia sneered and said: "If you like it, Guo will give you all the beauties!" ”

Ma Jian smiled when he heard this: "Isn't Mr. Fengxiao afraid of being suspicious of King Wu?" ”

"No matter how Guo acts, he will be suspicious of King Wu, so it is better to be frank and frank, and resolve this Jiangdong disaster invisibly!" Guo Jia said, glanced at Ma Jian meaningfully and said, "You should also know the truth that is too much." Besides, you're not Kong Ming. Shi Yuan, if the two of them are envoys, it may make Sun Zhongmou even more suspicious of Guo! ”

Ma Jian nodded when he heard this, knowing that what Guo Jia said was true. If you overdo it. On the contrary, it will make Sun Quan doubt the motive of Jing Xiang's envoy this time.

It's just that all the scheming was broken by Guo Jiadao. Ma Jian was also unconvinced, and said to Guo Jia: "Ma has three questions, and I want to ask Mr. for advice." I hope Mr. will solve his doubts! ”

Guo Jia saw Ma Yan's restrained expression, solemnly said, and said with a slight smile: "Let's talk about it, as for whether it solves the doubts in your heart, it depends on Guo's mood!" ”

"Mr. Fengxiao thinks that Mr. has just arrived, and Mr. Ma Kegan of the Jiangdong Army is driven?"

After Ma Jian said, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Guo is in charge of the Jiangdong army, and he is unwilling to drive his generation, but at the time of the war, if he does his own thing in vain and suffers a big loss, he naturally knows Guo's ability!" It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, if Guo can bring victory to Jiangdong, the days will be long, and the officers and men in the army will naturally support Guo! ”

Ma Jian suddenly realized when he heard this, but secretly said in his heart that Guo Jia is really extraordinary, the two have not yet clashed, Guo Jia has already figured out how to deal with the Jiangdong military horses, if Guo Jia is allowed to integrate the Jiangdong military horses at that time, it will not be easy for Jing Xiang to attack Jiangdong.

Thinking of this, Ma Jian said again: "Mr. is the mastermind of the King of Wei, if I Jingxiang turns to attack Qing in this battle, Xu, how should Mr. deal with it?" The prime minister's land was plundered by my Jingxiang, can Mr. still settle down and protect Jiangdong? ”

"Such a strategy must not be taught by ......the mountain people," Guo Jia heard this, shook his head again and again, and said: "Jing Xiang attacked the land of Prime Minister Qingxu, wouldn't Guo have cut down the four counties of Jingnan?" Guo Mou is here to make Hebei and Jiangdong join the same air, after all, you Jingxiang is powerful, and the remaining two princes can only fight two against one! ”

Ma Jian suddenly realized when he heard this, and secretly said that when he told Pang Shanmin about this plan before, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both laughed, Ma Jian was still unclear, and now when he heard what Guo Jia said, he knew that he had misestimated before.

Ma Jian looked at Guo Jia again, his expression was more respectful, but it was different from before, now Ma Jian was indeed impressed by Guo Jia's talent, and after thinking for a while, Ma Jian said again: "Mr. is here, have you ever thought that Jiangdong would go back on his word and want to be disadvantageous to Mr.?" ”

"How could Guo not know that Sun Quan and Prime Minister are not of the same mind." When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled calmly: "However, Guo came to Jiangdong this time, in the final analysis, he was forced by the situation, and in the final analysis, Guo didn't like the wet and cold weather in Jiangdong...... Although Sun Quan forgets his righteousness, but he is not a stupid person, when Jiangdong is in danger, Sun Quan naturally wants to use Guo, even if Guo is lucky and solves the Jingxiang disaster, there is also a prime minister to protect Guo's safety! After all, Sun Quan will not make a feud with the prime minister just because of Guo! ”

Seeing Ma Tan's brows furrowed and falling into thought, Guo Jia smiled and said: "The three questions have been answered, and Guo's inquiries are common!" ”

Ma Tan came back to his senses, shook his head again and again, and said: "I am only shallow in the next year, and I am afraid that Mr.'s problem will be difficult to solve in the next year!" ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "Guo is not a person who does not forget to repay his kindness, which is also similar to that of the mountain people...... Young Chang, did you come to Jiangdong this time just to separate the relationship between Sun Quan and Guo? ”

When Ma Jian heard this, he felt that since he had been broken by Guo Jiadao, it was pointless to hide it, thinking of this, Ma Jian smiled and said: "As Mr. expected, Ma Mou came here to make Sun Quan jealous of Mr.'s skills!" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, looking at Ma Yan's expression, he knew that what he said was true, and he simply put his mind at ease.

If Jingxiang is just a distraction, Guo Jia thinks that there is still a way to gain Sun Quan's trust, Jiangdong has been short of people who plan the overall situation since Zhou Yu left, Guo Jiaqi can live, even Sun Quan should also consider what impact it will have on Jiangdong if he breaks with Guo Jia.

Besides, even if Jing Xiang didn't come to the plan of discord, wouldn't Sun Quan have any suspicions about him?

Thinking of this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Yesterday you often did a good job, when you continue to work hard, Guo will wait and see, and I also want to see if you have eloquence, so that Sun Quan can get rid of Guo quickly!" ”

Ma Jian shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said to Guo Jia: "If you don't ask Mr. today, Ma should be in front of Sun Quan again, and do this strategy, but now I know that all kinds of means can be dissolved by Mr. Invisible, why bother to do useless work, this time I came to Jiangdong, and when I left, I got my lord's advice, Mr. Yan's extraordinary strategy can be calculated, if Ma misses, there is no need to be reluctant, after all, now I Jingxiang soldiers are strong and strong, and I am fighting with Mr. on the battlefield, and I am not afraid!" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he restrained the smile on his face, looked at Ma Jian again, and said to Ma Jian: "Guo has another question, ask for advice!" ”

Guo Jia said that, he waved his hand, Ma Jian hurriedly avoided it when he saw this, and said to Guo Jia: "Why did Mr. do this big gift?" If Mr. Ma's problem is not within Ma's ability, Ma will not be able to report Mr. to solve his doubts! ”

"Guo just wants to ask, why Jingxiang has a lot of talents, even if he is a young envoy, but he has such talent!" Guo Jia said, but Ma Jian shook his head again and again, and said to Guo Jia: "Ma is a shallow learner, and he deserves such praise from Mr. As for why there are so many talents, Ma is not the king of Tang, how do you know that I am so secretive as Jing Xiang?
