The news that Zhou Yu and Lu Su switched to Jingxiang was extremely difficult to hide, but in a few days, the Yecheng court also learned about the great changes in Jiangdong.

Guo Jia returned from Xu Du and was not blamed by Cao Cao, but Guo Jia still blamed himself in his heart, Zhong Xuan died, Luoyang fell, and the Xu Capital he guarded was also obtained by Jing Xiang, and even Guo Jia himself was able to return safely by relying on the plan set up by Cao Cao and Jia Xu to compete for food.

Although it is a crime of non-war, how can Guo Jia's self-esteem allow such a failure?

It's just that now, Guo Jia finds that his calculation of the general trend of the world is becoming more and more difficult to control, and in any case, Guo Jia never thought that Zhou Yu and Lu Su would turn their backs on the old master and vote for Jingxiang.

Isn't this Sun Quan crazy? Do you think that there is one less grave on the grave of the Sun family? Such a self-digging grave thing, this must be a rebellious means to do it! In Guo Jia's view, it is really not easy to force away the old ministers who have been loyal to Jiangdong for more than ten years......

Jiangdong has lost Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Tai Shi Ci has already given a master, which is a good thing for the Central Plains, but the bad thing is that Zhou Yu and Lu Su did not vote for the Central Plains and devoted themselves to Jingxiang, and in Hefei, Shouchun has been given to Jingxiang by Cao Cao, no matter how chaotic Jiangdong is now, Cao Cao can only look at each other from the ground, this feeling of seeing and not eating really makes Guo Jia's heart crazy.

"Could it be that the mountain people have already had the means to rebel against the two before?"

Guo Jia muttered and muttered for a while, but he felt more and more that such an inference was impossible.

When people are strong and poor. However, the will of heaven is unpredictable, God favors Jing Xiang, even Guo Jia has no way to take it, thinking of this, Guo Jia can't help but secretly scold Sun Quan, this guy is also a prince, the lord of the six counties, but in the end, he kicked his heavy ministers to Jingxiang to raise the enemy, such a means is really unpredictable......

Together with Jia Xu, he met Cao Cao. Guo Jia couldn't cry or laugh when he saw Jia Xu.

Obviously, the two important ministers of the court were confused by Sun Quan's method. Cao Cao saw that the two of them had tangled expressions on their faces, and said with a bitter smile: "Now that the Hebei army has gathered a lot, if more than 100,000 soldiers and horses cross the river to fight, the two of them think." Can I recover the lost territory in my Central Plains? ”

Guo Jia heard this. After thinking for a while, he said: "Jing Xiang added Zhou Lang Lu Su again. If Jia thought that the prime minister had a fifty percent chance of winning, he could recover his homeland. Now it seems that even if we wait for the odds of winning to 30%, we will say more. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he thought so, and said to Cao Cao: "If Hefei and Shouchun were not handed over to Jingxiang before, I will wait for Jiangdong now!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he glared at Jia Xu, Jia Xu understood, and hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Jia is just talking about things, not wanting to push the responsibility of losing land to Fengxiao." ”

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and said to Jia Xu: "What Wenhe said, Guo deeply thinks that if the prime minister wants to expand the territory now, Jiangdong is the best choice, for this occasion, it is better to wait for the prime minister's army to assemble, not to Yanzhou, but to change to Xuzhou." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Hefei, can you get Shouchun?" ”

"Lujiang is the land of Jiangdong, even if Sun Quan does nothing, he can also help the prime minister share part of the pressure, and Jing Xiang can't be unwary of Jiangdong." Guo Jia said, and then said with a smile: "And now Sun Quan's idea is too strange, and Guo doesn't know if he will be impulsive and fight Jing Xiang with the prime minister's army." ”

Thinking that Sun Quan could even expel important ministers in the court, Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia's words were not impossible, and now Sun Quan is a big joke in the eyes of the world.

The three of them just discussed for a while, and then decided to raise a large army in the future, attack Hefei, Shouchun, once they took the second place, and resolutely attack Lujiang.

In this way, Chen Liu's direction had to be stabilized, and now Jing Xiang took advantage of it and did not move, but Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others did not know when Jing Xiang would raise troops and horses again to attack Chen Liu. Chen Liu is the place where Cao Cao used to raise troops, Cao Cao naturally will not give up this place easily, and once Jing Xiang captures Chen Liu, he can use the river to build a naval army, and then the counties of Hebei will also be exposed to Jing Xiang's troops.

Therefore, Chen Liu could not afford to lose, and Cao Cao ordered Jia Xu to coerce many generals and colonels to defend the city.

When Jia Xu heard this, he took the order and left, leaving only Cao Cao and Guo Jia in the hall.

"Prime Minister, Guo Mou came back this time, and the Prime Minister has not yet cured Guo Mou's crime of losing land......" Guo Jia saw that there was no one around, sighed lightly, and bowed his hand and said: "The prime minister has always had clear rewards and punishments, why did he abolish the public because of private affairs this time?" ”

Seeing that Guo Jia insisted on pleading, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Xu Du was obtained by Jing Xiang, how can it be a fault of filial piety?" If Cao had known today, how could he move the capital, that is, together with Fengxiao, to deal with a strong enemy, Cao would not be as before, and he would not be at a loss every day without news of filial piety. ”

When Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's sincere words, his heart was moved, and his eyes were red and said: "Guo is negligent, Guo knows." Guo Mou never thought that Jing Xiang's soldiers were so sharp, Zhong Yuan was often not incompetent, but Luoyang Jiancheng, where the city was high and deep, was difficult to stop the sharp trend of the Xiliang army. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was about to persuade him, but he heard Guo Jia choke and said: "Knowing that Luoyang could not be saved, Guo rushed to the rescue, resulting in Xu Du's soldiers being widowed and besieged by the Jingxiang army, if there is a Yuan let these 30,000 soldiers and horses, although Kong Ming, Lu Xun's soldiers are strong and strong, Guo can also try to ensure that this city is not lost, I can only lose one city in the Central Plains, Xu Du is lost, and it also depends on Guo, this is also a sin!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "It's not a sin, it's just the friendship of filial piety and Yuan Chang as a minister!" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head with a firm face, and said to Cao Cao: "Just because Guo Jia is alone, the prime minister exchanged the two cities with Jingxiang, and in order to save Guo's life, he not only lost the prime minister's land, but also lost the prime minister's face!" This is the third sin of Guo! The prime minister is now treating Guo as before, and the self-blame in Guo's heart, can the prime minister know? So today, please also ask the prime minister to treat Guo's big crime, with the heart of the court's ministers! If not, it will be difficult for the prime minister to convince the public in the future, Guo is already a person who treats crimes, how can he let the prime minister be implicated like this! ”

Cao Cao saw that Guo Jiaqing was sincere, sighed, and after a while, Cao Cao sighed: "Fengxiao, Cao Mou lost these faces, that is, he lost five cities in a row, Cao also knew that this was for my Central Plains, not to hurt the foundation, Cao Mou made contributions in troubled times, relying not on these cities, but as loyal as Fengxiao, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with outstanding skills, which is more important, and the drill is clear!" ”

"Prime Minister!"

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao's mind had been decided, and he wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Cao Cao's restrained expression, he said solemnly: "Fengxiao's so-called 'guilty' is to be accepted on behalf of Cao, how can I not know, if my Central Plains is as rich as Jingxiang, and the soldiers are strong and strong as Jingxiang, with Fengxiao, Wenhe, Wenruo, and Gongda's ability, my Central Plains army, who else are you afraid of?" This is the incompetence of the lord, not the sin of the courtiers, and the person who thinks he is not a benevolent person, but he will not ignore the reason! Feng Xiao is so forced to, does he have to confess his own sins to thank the world? ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time, Cao Cao smiled when he saw this: "It's just that Cao believes that although Jingxiang is in the limelight, but my Central Plains army is not an ornament, how many cities and how much land have been lost before, in Cao's opinion, it is just placed on Jingxiang's side, and it can be retrieved in the future. ”

Seeing this, Guo Jia also nodded and said: "What the prime minister said is not bad, these Xu Chengchi are just temporarily borrowing Jingxiang, Guo will sooner or later ask the mountain people to return all of them with interest!" ”

Seeing Guo Jia's spirits, Cao Cao was also quite comforted in his heart, now the Central Plains can not withstand the slightest setback, the army has slowly assembled, and will not cross the river in a few days, and now if Guo Jia is punished for "Liwei", wouldn't it tell the ministers Cao Cao to be like that Sun Quan, right and wrong are not distinguished, and he forgets righteousness when he sees profit?

When Guo Jia just arrived in Yecheng, Cao Cao said that Guo Jia had no merit this time, if anyone dared to punish Guo Jia lightly, then he would be given the same soldiers and horses, guarding the lonely city for a month, and there were still some doubts about Guo Jia in the court, and after learning that Cao Cao was so threatened, naturally no one dared to say more.

Cao Cao was only worried about whether Guo Jia's will was depressed, and now seeing that Guo Jia was as energetic as before, how could Cao Cao not be happy in his heart?

Hebei military horses are frequently mobilized, even the people who do not understand martial arts also know a little, the Central Plains and Jingxiang are afraid that there is a big war during the year, and now the people of the Central Plains have moved north, and the people of Luoyang Xudu and other places are also very tacitly migrating to Chang'an and Wancheng, Cao Cao carefully prepared for this battle, and naturally had a plan to be ashamed of the snow, and Cao Cao also understood in his heart that if this battle was defeated, the prestige of the Central Plains would not exist.

However, once it wins, breaking the myth that Jingxiang will win every battle, the general trend of vigorous development of Jingxiang should also change.

The myth is shattered, that is, everyone is unknown, Cao Cao has long been desperate, and the weak have the intention of defeating the strong, but Cao Cao has never considered whether he can lose.

Accustomed to the position of the overlord of the Central Plains, how could Cao Cao accept a corner as safe as Jiangdong, thinking of this, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, in recent times, the army has been assembled, and the past of Guandu is vividly remembered in the eyes of Cao, Fengxiao is now, but there is still the theory of 'ten lives and ten defeats', give it to Cao?" ”

"Not yet."

Guo Jia said that, his face was calm, Cao Cao's face flashed a touch of loss, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "Now Jingxiang is strong, like the sky, Guo has no magic plan to break the enemy in one fell swoop, but Guo feels that the prime minister and Guo have had countless experience in dealing with adversity, and at this point, no one in the world can match!" In Guo's opinion, as long as the prime minister thinks that this battle can be won, then Guo thinks that my Central Plains can break Jingxiang, and although it is not easy to defeat the strong with the weak, it is not impossible to do! Guo already has the heart to win, I don't know if the prime minister is the same as Guo now? (To be continued......)
