Chapter 185: New Troubles

After hearing Zhang Gu's words, although Guo Jia was a little shocked in his heart, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Zhang Gu and said, "Zhang Gu, did Geng Wu and Guan Chun reveal who was in charge of the troops and the specific marching route?" ”

Zhang Gu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where do I know the route of the march, these two people didn't mention it, but the candidates for sending troops were selected." Guo Jia and Chen Zhi were originally a little disappointed, but when they heard Zhang Gu's second half of the sentence, they were shocked, and Zhang Gu no longer sold Guan Zi when he saw this, and said directly: "It seems that Bing Cao is engaged in Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan, by the way, and Jizhou General, Liyi." ”

Chen Zhi was surprised when he heard this: "Koji Yi! It could be him! ”

Of course, Guo Jia also knows the righteousness of Lu Dao, this person is the most relied on under Han Fu, and of course he is almost the most prominent figure in Jizhou's ability to lead troops to fight, maybe his martial arts are not as good as Zhang He or Han Meng, but his ability to lead troops is unsurpassed in Jizhou. However, Guo Jia also understands this person's flaws, because Lu Yi is arrogant, his eyes are too high, and he is too gloomy, so Han Fu doesn't like him very much, so even if Han Fu has to rely on Lu Yi, he actually doesn't value him.

Therefore, Guo Jia also nodded and said: "It is not a question who will send troops now, the key is what is the purpose of Geng Wu and Guan Chun suggesting that Han Fu send troops?" Does Han Fu want to fight Yuan Shao by force or deal with the Montenegrin army on the border of Yanzhou, entrenched in Dongjun and likely to enter Jizhou at any time? Or both? ”

This question was obviously a bit too complicated for Chen Zhi and Zhang Gu, of course they could not give an answer, and the three people present fell silent for a while.

At this time, Guo Jia picked up the wine glass in his right hand and drank all the wine in the glass. Squinting his bright eyes and slowly stroking the corners of his mouth with wide snow-white sleeves, his attitude was extremely frenzied. But a thrilling flush appeared on his face, and the young mania was fully revealed.

Zhang Gu was surprised when he saw it. Of course, he has not seen the ability of this military advisor to sacrifice wine, but this frivolous state Guo Jia is rarely revealed, and this is the first time he has seen Guo Jia like this, and he can't help but feel a little preoccupied.

I saw Guo Jia close his eyes, pondered for a while, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Gu's face of surprise, and then explained with a smile: "This thing is very interesting, but it is not a big deal, I will definitely find out this news when I drink with them later." Ha, if the matter of sending troops becomes a reality, Geng Wu and Guan Chun will definitely bring these three people. ”

Chen Zhi also smiled when he heard this: "Mr. is reasonable, Geng Wu and they are now demonstrating to Xin Ping and others, just look at the attitude towards us, you can know Lu Dao, for fear that others will not know that Lu Dao is cooperating with us." Now that the three of them have won the right to lead the troops, how can there be no reason not to wantonly win over the three of them and make them their henchmen? ”

Zhang Gu also smiled when he heard this: "Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, I think it's easy to say." After all, they were originally people from Geng Wuguan's family, but that Koji Yi is not easy to say, this person has always been a loner in Jizhou, and he seems to be quite lonely. Although I often come to the Hero Building to have fun, I usually choose a room by the window to drink alone, and I rarely ask Mei Ji to accompany me. ”

Guo Jia frowned when he heard this. This Koji Yi's mind is really hard to figure out. And this guy obviously has no obvious flaws and weaknesses in such a posture, and such people are often the most difficult to deal with.

Chen Zhi looked at Guo Jia with a solemn face. frowned and asked, "Is the military advisor worried about Koji?" ”

Guo Jia nodded before he could speak. I heard someone knocking on the door, Zhang Gu's face flashed with displeasure, but he heard someone outside the door: "Boss, someone from my hometown sent a letter." ”

Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled at Guo Jia and the others: "But it turned out that the lord had a letter." He quickly stood up, opened the door, and took the letter from his hand, and when he closed the door, he remembered something again, and said to the man outside the door: "Go and tell the outside, if Lord Changshi they arrive, come up and inform me." The outsider answered, and turned away.

After the order, Zhang Gu turned around and handed the letter directly to Guo Jia, Guo Jia was of course not polite, opened the letter and read it carefully. Zhang Gu and Chen Zhi both looked at Guo Jia with curious expressions, obviously extremely curious about what Xu Ji said in the letter.

However, Guo Jia did not say anything, and burned it after reading the letter. Seeing Guo Jia's actions like this, Chen Zhi was also a little puzzled and asked, "What is this?" Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and said: "It's inconvenient to say more at this time, you will naturally know when the lord is done." ”

After half an hour, all the people in the room had already arrived. Guo Jia, Chen Zhizheng and Geng Wu Wei talked and laughed, saying some politeness between dignitaries and nobles who were not important. Guo Jia saw that Guan Chun didn't come, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, so he pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Why don't you see Lord Guan Chun?" ”

When Geng Wu heard this, he looked at the three people in front of him with questions on their faces triumphantly, and said with a mysterious smile: "Don't be impatient, Brother Guan will pick up a few good friends here." ”

Guo Jia and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, their eyes were clear, both of them knew who this so-called "good friend" was, but Wei You didn't know who it was, today was obviously a small gathering of a few people, but it was so grand, and now the few people in front of them seemed to have something to hide from them, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts at the moment, but they were not good at it immediately, so although they didn't say anything on the surface, their faces had sunk.

Guo Jia glanced at Wei You, knowing the dissatisfaction in his heart, so he deliberately smiled and said, "It turns out that there are other friends, but I don't know where it is sacred?" ”

Seeing Guo Jia's eyes, Geng Wu noticed Wei You's not very good-looking face, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Wei doesn't need to feel uncomfortable, these people who came today can be said to be people that Lord Han Fu and my brother have always valued, so they don't need to feel restrained. It's like treating my two brothers. After listening to Geng Wu's explanation, Wei You's face softened.

But Guo Jia dared to laugh in his heart, he just said what Wei You said in his heart, that is to be a good person in both aspects, Wei You will of course feel close to him, and Geng Wu will thank him for this reminder. In this way, you get double the benefits. This is obviously beneficial to Xu Ji's plan in Jizhou.

At this moment, someone outside the door began to speak. Geng Wu listened attentively, and said with a sincere smile on his face: "They have arrived." The words did not fall. The door was pushed open, and under the guidance of Zhang Gu, Guan Chun walked into the room with three people who looked like military generals.

The person walking in front was thirty years old, with gray hair on both sideburns as if he was not old and decaying, although he was not tall, and a little fat, but he knew that he was quite agile at a glance, and the man behind him was older, but he smiled very well, and it almost made people ignore the faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Maintain a friendly appearance anytime and anywhere, which makes people feel good.

However, these two are only middle-aged people, and the real eye-catcher is the one who comes in the back.

This person is tall and thin, with a military aura on his body, the kind of strict military discipline unique to soldiers is fully revealed in his gestures, Chen Zhi can vaguely see Gao Shun's shadow from this person. But this person's eyes are chilling, as if nothing is on his body, and his black and white eyes give people a feeling of gray. There is a kind of thing when he looks at a person, he thinks of that person as a lifeless corpse. And what Guo Jia noticed was that although he came in with the three people in front of him. But it feels as if it has nothing to do with those three people. It was as if he was completely independent of this worldly realm, and that feeling usually meant that the person was difficult to get close to.

This one, probably that Kojiyi, right?

Geng Wu saw several people arriving and stood up. He smiled: "I'll introduce it to you." Pointing to Guo Jia, Chen Zhi and Wei You, he said: "These three are Mr. Guo Jia, the envoy of Chen Liu, General Chen Zhi, and Mr. Wei You, the envoy of Youzhou. In fact, Mr. Guo and General Chen, the two distinguished guests, the three generals must have already known each other. ”

The three of them nodded in unison, obviously there were also these three of the generals in the hall yesterday. Maybe it's the reason why he is also a military general. When the three of them said "fortunate meeting", they couldn't help but focus their eyes on Chen Zhi. Especially the hand that Chen Zhi habitually placed on the saber at his waist. After realizing the gaze of the three people, Chen Zhi only smiled faintly, and also carefully looked at the three people in front of him with his eyes.

Geng Wu naturally didn't notice this. He pointed to the person in the first room and smiled: "This is my Jizhou soldier Cao engaged in General Zhao Fu." As soon as he finished speaking, the second person who came in stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "The young general Cheng Jian is General Zhao Fu's assistant. ”

Guan Chun pulled over the person who was identified by Guo Jia and Chen Zhi as Koji Yi and said with a smile: "This is my famous Jizhou general General Liyi." To Guo Jia and Zhao Yun's surprise, this Koji Yi's personality and appearance looked the opposite, and he greeted Guo Jia very warmly when he saw the three of them. It's just that even when he laughs the happiest, there is still that coldness in his eyes. If it weren't for Guo Jia and Chen Zhi, who had already seen what he was like in advance, they might not have noticed this at all.

And Zhang Gu smiled after arranging everything: "What other instructions do the adults have?" Geng Wu scolded with a smile when he heard this: "Do you need to say this? Greet me with those beauties. Zhang Gu patted his head and said with a smile: "The villain should be damned, he actually forgot such an important thing." "Turn around and go. Guan Chun also raised his glass after seeing Zhang Gu leave: "Come, before those beauties are in the future, let's drink this cup first!" Everyone responded and raised their glasses.

After everyone had finished drinking and put down their wine glasses, Geng Wu took the initiative to explain to Wei You and Guo Jia why he wanted to find the three of them to drink together, and he said: "The three generals will lead the troops to the expedition in a few days, and they will become very busy from tomorrow, and today's banquet can be regarded as seeing off the three of them." ”

Zhao Fu also put down his wine glass when he heard this, and said gratefully: "As a soldier, the meaning of existence lies in the battlefield, and now I am watching foreign enemies in Jizhou, Zhao Fu hates that he can't die to repay Lord Han Fu's kindness, and he dares not to swear to die this time." The other two also promised. Wei You only understood what was going on at this time.

But Guo Jia knew that he had to do a full set of truths to make a show, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Lord Geng Wu, how can you reveal such military secrets in front of me and other outsiders?" ”

Geng Wu smiled: "How can there be outsiders here? His brother should be honest with each other. ”

You was a little restless when he heard this, because since he came to Yecheng, no one knew the purpose of his trip, although it was because he had not had time to say it to Han Fuchen, but he had just listened to Geng Wu's words. I can't help but be a little embarrassed, the reason why Geng Wu is so concerned about Wei You. Even told him about the expedition of Koji and the other three, hoping that he could reveal the purpose of his visit first. It's good to take care of each other.

After understanding this, Wei You also hurriedly explained: "Feng Xiao is too worried, or Lord Geng Wu is reasonable, on an occasion like today, what else can not be said?" Now our common enemy is Yuan Shao, a sanctimonious hypocrite, and my family Assassin Shi sent me to Jizhou to discuss the important matter of supporting the Han family and preventing Yuan Shao from succeeding. God help me Han family, I didn't expect Fengxiao to be here, if my Youzhou can unite Jizhou and the horse against Yuan Shao, then the big thing can be decided! ”

Guo Jia and the others were stunned when they heard it. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Liu Yu sent someone to Yecheng to take the initiative to find helpers.

Wei You looked at a few people and lowered his voice: "My family Assassin Shi wants to formally establish the status of the current emperor in order to cut off Yuan Shao's wolf ambition!" Guo Jia was stunned, it turned out that this was the case. After hearing Wei You's words, the room was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Wei You in amazement, not expecting that the purpose of Liu Yu's envoy this time was to establish Liu Xie's status.

And Guo Jia's mind had already begun to spin rapidly, and his purpose was, of course, to see if there was anything to be used for. After a while, Guo Jia already had a plan in his heart, and knew how to make Wei You completely stand on his side to deal with Yuan Shao. before he spoke. But I saw a hint of murder flashing in the eyes of Koji Yi who was sitting on the oblique side. Guo Jia's heart sank, and he immediately took back what he originally wanted to say.

This Koji Yi seems to be very wrong.

However, Wei You didn't notice it, and just said earnestly: "Liu He, the son of my family's assassin Shi, is now an official in the court, and I have peerless tiger generals such as Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide in Youzhou. Hundreds of thousands of male soldiers with armor, if you can get the support of the princes of the world, then it is not impossible to save Your Majesty from fire and water. ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but be secretly anxious when he heard this. But he had no way to stop Wei You from talking, and he could only hope that Zhang Gu would be able to bring those witch goddesses to come soon. Interrupt the conversation.

But Geng Wu took over and said, "I understand what Lord Wei Yu meant, and Lord Liu Yu's good intentions make me wait for the mountains to look up to me. However, as you can see, with Yuan Benchu as an obstacle, it is really difficult to achieve this thing, so if you say a thousand ways and ten thousand, our first task is to defeat Yuan Shao, so it will be a hundred. ”

Just as Guo Jia wanted to open his mouth to interrupt everyone's talk, he heard the laughter of the woman outside the door, and it was obvious that Zhang Gu's carefully selected kabuki had arrived.

Everyone hurriedly stopped the topic just now and stopped talking. Guo Jia also secretly let go of his worries in his heart.

I saw Zhang Gu push open the door, and when he boarded the time, he was full of purple and red, and in the eyes of everyone, the stunning beauties flew over like butterflies, and half-sat and half-threw themselves beside a dry man in a soft voice. Wei You, the fat man, is obviously the same as Geng Wu and others, and he is a fellow traveler, unfolding romantic means, witty words, and very funny, which made the laughter shake the room for a while.

While everyone was not paying attention, Guo Jia secretly pulled Geng Wu beside him and asked, "Jizhou is not stable now, why do you want to send troops?" ”

Geng Wu didn't know Guo Jia's intentions, so he put his spirit completely on the woman beside him, and said casually: "Actually, the matter of sending troops was told by General Liyi to my two brothers, and the two of us only told Lord Han Fu about it." After all, many of the methods Feng Xiao said are far from quenching the thirst of the near, and for Yuan Shao in a short period of time, we have to rely on our own strength to resist. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "I see, since we want to deal with Yuan Shao, where are the three generals going to send troops?" ”

Geng Wu only wanted to end this secret conversation at this time, focusing on the beauty in his arms, and immediately said cheerfully: "Yuan Shao is now on the expedition, he is already a lonely and poor army, and his subordinates are incapable of conscripting those who are accustomed to fighting, so Lu Yi suggested that Zhao Fu and the two rush to Chaoge Qingshuikou, and use strong bows and crossbows to exhaust Yuan Benchu's grain and grass, as for Lu Yi, he will rush to Qinghe County to fight against Yuan Tan with unknown intentions, and by the way, he will also deal with the Montenegrin army." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said no more, but the shock in his heart could not be retreated for a long time.

Qinghe County? That is to say, the destination of Lu Yi's troops is the junction of Pingyuan County and Bohai County, coupled with Lu Yi's murderous intention to kill Wei You, who has just met for the first time and has no conflict of interest, if Guo Jia still doesn't understand the mystery, he will be in vain as the first strategist in Xu Ji's army.

I see!

However, from this point of view, this guy is a two-headed snake, in the Mingli, he is a member of Geng Wuguanchun's lineage, but secretly Koji Yi has already thrown himself into Yuan Shao, as for when, it is unknown, and this matter is no longer important in the current view.

However, after reading through Lu Yi's thoughts, Yuan Shao's entire plot against Jizhou and Youzhou completely appeared in Guo Jia's mind.

The first problem is Jizhou, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Jizhou is the easiest place to start, not only most of the civil and military officials in Jizhou have been inclined to him, but Han Fu is an incompetent person and is very easy to deal with. The only obstacle is Geng Wu and Guan Chun, although they are alone, they have military power, can mobilize the army, and have Han Fu's trust.

Then there is the ambiguous Zhen family.

Now, under Yuan Shao's instructions, the purpose of proposing to send troops was to break Geng Wu and Guan Chun's legs.

Once Yecheng's forces were drained, and the Zhen family, who assisted Han Fu in defending Yecheng, fell to Yuan Shao's side, then there was no need to fight this battle for Jizhou. It can even be said that once the situation reaches that situation, then Xu Ji does not need to plot Jizhou, because this war is over before it starts.

However, Guo Jia knew very well that Yuan Shao's huge conspiracy was far more than that, and the battle for Jizhou involved Youzhou and even threatened Xu Ji.

It can be seen that Yuan Shao is very dissatisfied with the disobedient Liu Yu, but Yuan Shao is suffering from not having enough strength to deal with Liu Yu at this time, so when he was plotting to seize Jizhou, he also pulled Gongsun Zhan, who had always been at odds with Liu Yu, in. For Gongsun Zhan, who has always been unruly, Liu Yu has always had a headache, and it is impossible for Liu Yu to know the agreement between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao to carve up Jizhou, but Gongsun Zhan's transfer of troops will definitely cause Liu Yu's suspicion and panic, so Gongsun Chan has already done Yuan Shao a great favor, that is, to contain Liu Yu.

Yuan Shao, it's really not simple! (To be continued......)
