Chapter 350: Eight Years of Jian'an, No War on the Eastern Front (3)
However, just when Cheng Gongying was nervous, in a study not far from his room, Liu Chuang and Guo Jia Zhuge Liang were pushing cups and changing lamps.
Since taking Guo Jia into captivity, Liu Chuang has never solicited him.
For a person like Guo Jia, it is not easy to make him return to his heart.
Since he decided that Cao Cao was the master, it was difficult for him to change his mind. If you want Guo Jia to work, the best way is to completely shatter his cognition. Only by defeating Cao Cao can Liu Chuang be recognized by Guo Jia. There is no other way.
Initially, Guo Jia made up his mind and would not give advice to Liu Chuang for the rest of his life.
Even if Liu Chuang defeated Cao Cao several times, he felt that it was just Liu Chuang's luck.
If Liu Chuang dared to come and persuade him to surrender, he wouldn't mind spit on Liu Chuang's face...... Fortunately, Liu Chuang didn't give him this opportunity, and it also saved him this spit. In the blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed, Guo Jia's confidence in Cao Cao has not wavered, but in his heart, he has gradually admitted the fact that Liu Chuang is the hero.
In fact, it is indeed not easy for Liu Chuang to be able to do this step today.
His pen qu pavilion www.biquge.info coin Cao Cao was lower, and the difficulties he faced were far greater than Cao Cao's...... But even in this situation, he was able to defeat Cao Cao again and again, and he took Anping and Julu counties from Cao Cao's hands, forcing Cao Cao to retreat to Handan.
In this case, if Liu Chuang relied on luck to rise, it would actually be a humiliation to Cao Cao.
At this moment, Guo Jia was holding the letter written by Cheng Gongying and reading it word by word, and his heart was also horrified.
In Youzhou. But Guo Jia is not free.
Although Liu Chuang will send people to give him some battle reports from time to time. But none of them are very complete.
Now he has read what Cheng Gongying wrote. I finally have a general understanding of Liu Chuang's layout. While surprised, I was even more surprised.
To put it bluntly, Liu Chuang's strategy is very simple, and it can be summed up in four words: economic control.
He opened up the trade routes of the Western Regions through guò, which was equivalent to indirectly controlling the economic lifeline of Liangzhou. In the future, once he wins Liangzhou, the entire Liangzhou Group will face a reshuffle. Whoever leans on Liu Chuang can develop and grow; Contrarily. Those who oppose Liu Chuang will lose the opportunity for development, and they will face the siege of the township party. Liu Chuang does not talk about benevolence or righteousness, and the word 'profit' is enough to control Liangzhou in his hands.
After reading Cheng Gongying's letter, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Who would have thought that this bitter cold place in Liu Chuang's hands would become the foundation of his development and take-off......
"Kong Ming, how about this Cheng Gongying?"
Liu Chuang took a sip of wine. smiled and asked Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said softly: "This person's vision and thoughts. It's really extraordinary.
From some subtleties, it can be seen that the brother's layout and plan are indeed extraordinary...... This person must not let him return to Liangzhou, or even let him leave the General's Mansion. If not, the brother's layout will inevitably be leaked for him, and it will take some effort at that time. ”
Guo Jia suddenly spoke: "The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed."
Uncle Huang detained this Cheng Gongying, if it spread, I am afraid that Uncle Huang's reputation will not be good. ”
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, "But the question is, who knew that I detained him?" ”
"You ......"
Liu Chuang stood up, "Fengxiao, why don't you go with me to meet this Cheng Gongying?" ”
Guo Jia didn't refuse, but smiled slightly: "Okay, let me see what this person who can make the emperor jealous looks like." ”
The three of them walked out of the study and went straight to the side room.
Outside the door of the wing room, Tai Shixiang stepped forward quickly and bowed to Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang only nodded at him, and Tai Shixiang understood what he meant, and walked over to open the door.
Cheng Gongying sat on the ground, his eyes were blindfolded, and his mouth was gagged.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he struggled to stand up, but was grabbed by someone, followed by the light in front of him suddenly brightened, stabbing Cheng Gongying hurriedly closed his eyes, and opened his eyes again after a while.
Zhuge Liang held a short knife and stepped forward to cut the rope on his body.
Only then did Cheng Gongying see Liu Chuang and the others clearly, and suddenly showed anger, and he was about to pounce on him desperately.
"Sir, it's better not to act rashly, and now that you are a missing person, even if I kill you, no one will know.
As far as I, the Great General's Mansion, was nothing more than killing a thief who stole the goods in the Mansion. ”
"You ......"
Cheng Gongying glared at Liu Chuang angrily, but he was still a little jealous in his heart.
Guo Jia couldn't help but say: "He is obviously here, how can he have disappeared?" ”
Liu Chuang smiled and sat down on the Taishi chair in the room, and said softly: "Ten days ago, the Jincheng delegation left Yanjing, and Cheng Gongying was among them. However, after arriving in Zhao, Cheng Gongying suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. The entourage was unsure of his whereabouts...... According to my guess, Cheng Gongying should have understood that Han Wenyue was in a desperate situation, so he fled the mission and fended for himself.
Mr. left Yanjing without a sound before, thinking that he could avoid my ears and eyes.
As everyone knows, from the time you stepped out of the gate of Yanjing City, Cheng Gongying no longer existed, only Youzhou Chengying, who was the maid in my house. ”
Guo Jia was stunned, and immediately understood the mystery.
Cheng Gongying was worried about being persecuted by Liu Chuang, so he wanted to sneak away.
So Liu Chuang made a plan and ordered someone to pretend to be Gongying, leave Yanjing with a so-called Jincheng mission, and then disappear in Handan......
In this way, the world will think that Cheng Gongying left alone because Han Sui was at the end of his rope.
didn't know that Cheng Gongying had been recaptured by Liu Chuangzhong and became the so-called Youzhou native 'Cheng Ying', a slave of the General's Mansion.
In other words, as long as Cheng Gongying can't get out of the Great General's Mansion, no one will know that Liu Chuang has detained him.
"Three days ago, Meng Qi broke through Yunwu and occupied the Luodu Valley.
Han Sui's generals Yang Qiu and Zhang Heng died in battle, the so-called eight generals of Jincheng, and now there is only one horse left. He took Ma Yu and his son-in-law Yan Xing and retreated to Linqiang, wanting to defend Longqi City to the death. Defend against the soldiers and horses of Xiliang. Hangul about now. It can be described as a domestic and external dilemma. He Huang Lu Shui Hu Tang Chuan has been naturalized by me. Lu Shui Sixteen Hu united with Xiqiang soldiers and horses and Baima Qiang Yang Teng, gathered an army of 80,000, and fought with that old Qiang in the Hehuang Valley...... Hehe, Ke is now powerless to support Han Sui. If Han Sui knew that you abandoned him, but he didn't know what kind of mood would he have? That Longqi City seems to be impregnable, but if there is no Lao Qiang, how long can it hold on?
Mr. thought he was smart, but he didn't know that it was the one who killed Han Sui......"
Cheng Gongying listened. I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
And Zhuge Liang stepped forward and put the letter written by Cheng Gongying in front of him.
"Mr. has a good eye, and he actually saw the layout of the imperial uncle.
I was a little strange before, why Uncle Huang went to such lengths to keep you. Now I understand that if I let you go, I will become a problem for Uncle Huang's henchmen. ”
At this time, Cheng Gongying also calmed down.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "What do you want?" ”
Liu Chuang smiled coldly. "Before, I had two paths with my husband, but unfortunately my husband didn't make a choice.
Now I have two more paths with you. Commit suicide in the name of total loyalty, or stay in this great general's mansion and be a slave of the great general's mansion.
However, it is useless for you to die, because no one knows that you are dead here.
When the world talks about you becoming Gongying, they will only say that Chenggongying abandoned his friends and left, and his whereabouts are unknown; If I were a husband, I would definitely choose to live. Only by living can you have the opportunity to wash away the grievances on your body; Only by living can you prove your innocence. If one day I lose, my husband's qiē can be restored. But if I keep winning, I'll have to be a slave here for the rest of my life. ”
Did he commit suicide, or did he endure humiliation and steal his life?
The two choices in front of Cheng Gongying do not seem to be very good.
Cheng Gongying's eyes widened and he glared at Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang stood up, "In addition, I have good news for you, Cao Cao sent Huangfu Jianshou to envoy Longxi, intending to rush to Han Sui's aid. ”
"Really?"
"This is what I just got ......"
After Liu Chuang finished speaking, he shook his hand and left.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, followed Liu Chuang, and walked out of the room.
Zhuge Liang also walked out, leaving Cheng Gongying alone in the house.
"Uncle Huang, what does this mean?"
Liu Chuang smiled: "It's nothing, it's just to give him hope." ”
"Oh?"
"This person has great talent and can be reused.
In the future, if I pacify Liangzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it by relying only on Meng Qi.
Although Zhang Ji Yang Fu is famous, he is too high-minded; Cheng Gongying is a person who can govern the place and treat foreign races equally. At this point, although there are many celebrities in Liangzhou, no one can beat this person. But in that Liangzhou, there are many Qianghu. If there is no one who understands Liangzhou, is familiar with the living habits of Qianghu, and can govern it with a bowl of water, it is bound to cause Qiang chaos.
That's not what I wanted, that's why I wanted to keep him. ”
"But you ......"
"It is easy for a person to want to die, but it is difficult to live.
Give him a hope, and then completely destroy his hope, and then think about death, it will not be an easy task......" Liu Chuang said, glancing at Guo Jia. He smiled and said, "At that time, I will give him another hope, I believe that he can naturally understand my hard work." ”
Guo Jia shuddered for no reason and kept silent.
After a while, he said softly: "Meng Yan, you have no resemblance to the Marquis of Zhongling.
If it weren't for Kang Chenggong and Yuan Chang to testify, I really can't imagine how the Marquis of Zhongling could have a vicious son like you......"
"Can I take that as a compliment on me?"
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing that Liu Chuang was leaving, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Uncle Huang, if Sikong is defeated by you one day, I will serve you." ”
Liu Chuang's body trembled and stopped.
He turned his head to look at Guo Jia and said softly, "Is what Feng Xiao said true? ”
"I don't want to be tortured like this, but you want to prove to me that you have what it takes for me to work for you."
Liu Chuang's eyes flashed with a gleam.
After a while, he said softly: "Fengxiao, I will let you know that only I can make this Han family world more powerful......" (To be continued......
