In June of the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led himself as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, led the military and political power of the world, and openly declared that it was his responsibility to help the Han family, save all the people in the world from fire and water, eradicate traitors, clear the world, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Cao Cao appointed Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, as the general of the chariot cavalry and the leader of the Qingzhou Assassin History; Yuan Shang was the general of Wei and the leader of the Yanzhou Assassin History. and gave the Yuan brothers the right to open the mansion on the holiday.

What's more, Cao Cao, who was the prime minister of himself, openly announced to the world that he recommended Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor.

In mid-June, Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, responded and resolutely rejected Cao Cao's recommendation, claiming that he was old and lacking in energy, and he was unable to protect the people of the world, and did not dare to usurp the throne, so as not to mislead the country and the people, and asked Cao Cao to choose another royal nobleman to inherit the orthodoxy.

Just when Cao Cao and Liu Biao were issuing proclamations one after another, Li Li quietly led 10,000 Jinqi Guard cavalry into Yuzhou, and then stationed in Yingchuan in the middle of the night.

In the dead of night, Guo's mansion, which was more than ten miles outside the east gate of Yingchuan City, quietly lit up the wind lanterns, and more than 10,000 war horsemen quietly surrounded the entire village, including Guo's mansion, blocking all intersections.

In recent years, the Guo Mansion has been closed, and there are only more than ten servants in the huge courtyard who are responsible for guarding the gate and cleaning the courtyard, and there is no one else.

The so-called Guo Mansion is not the former residence of Guo Jia, a strategist under Li Li's account, but the residence of Guo Tu, who is currently serving under Cao Cao's account.

Guo Tu and Guo Jia are of the same clan, they are brothers of the same clan who have not yet come out of the five suits, Guo Tu is the elder, and he is Guo Jia's brother.

"In recent years, my brother's house has been vacant. The conditions are simple, and I ask the lord to bear with me. Let Wen and Brother see it smile. ”

In the main hall, Guo Jia said with a smile while serving tea. Sitting across from him was Li Li. On the left hand side is Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, and Guo Jia sits at the bottom.

Li Li and Jia Xu glanced at each other, smiled and shook their heads. Immediately, Li Li smiled and said: "Why do you need to explain this section, the three of us already know this." Speaking of which, Guo Gongze's family has been to Chang'an for some years, I don't know how they are doing? ”

Guo Jia responded: "If you have the labor lord to worry about it, the family of the princess is fine." ”

There was a pause. Guo Jia added: "After the end of the Sili War, Weichen took the Gongze family to Chang'an and personally settled them. In the years that followed. As long as Weichen is in Chang'an, he will go to visit them and give them some care, because their family is living well. The lord may not know that the eldest son and second son of the princess brother are currently studying in Tai Academy. It's time to finish your studies next year. The county was released. ”

Li Li bowed slightly: "This matter will be handed over to Fengxiao, and some care can be given to him appropriately." When the two children are released from office, they can stay in the county government for a few years, and if they can make a difference, they will be promoted. ”

"Brother Weichen, thank you lord." Guo Jia waved his hand and saluted, and then said in a low voice with an embarrassed face: "Our army was frustrated before, and he failed to send information in time. This is deeply disturbing. I found out half a month ago, and I can't blame him for this matter. It's just that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao acted extremely carefully, and they didn't show the slightest rumor in advance, until Yuan Shao was dying, they only revealed a few words. Therefore, Brother Gong Ze knew nothing about this, and he could not do anything after we were trapped in the city. Therefore, Weichen confessed on his behalf, and begged the lord to forgive him and allow him to make meritorious contributions. ”

Li Li smiled: "It's hard for him." Thinking that he is a scholar, although he is resourceful, he has no soldiers and horses, and when he encounters such a sudden war, he is obviously more than willing but not enough. However, as long as he is patient and lurks, he will definitely be able to make achievements in the future. As soon as these words came out, it undoubtedly affirmed Guo Tu's contribution and took care of Guo Jia's face.

Before the words fell, Li Li waved his hand to signal that Guo Jia didn't have to say thank you, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao is seriously injured and has just recovered, so don't be too polite." If it weren't for Fengxiao's insistence on coming with the army this time, I really can't bear to see you suffer from this bump. Needless to say, it is polite to say, the three of us are not outsiders, we have been together for many years, we share weal and bene, and if we have anything to say in the future, there is no need to shy away from it. ”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu nodded happily after hearing this, and immediately Jia Xu chuckled: "At present, the movement in Jizhou is not small, Cao Cao quickly gained a foothold in Jizhou with the power of the great victory, so he moved the capital to Yecheng, usurped the position of prime minister without authorization, and unashamedly claimed that Kuang Fu Han and Zhongxing Han, as if pointing the finger at us!" ”

Guo Jia echoed when he heard this: "That's true. At present, Cao Cao occupies the three states of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou, and has 200,000 Jizhou troops, and takes the money and food that Yuan Shao has accumulated for many years as his own. Nowadays, Cao Cao's account can be described as a strong soldier and a strong horse, and his strength cannot be underestimated. It was because he dared to openly provoke our Xiliang Army, led the prime minister himself, issued a proclamation in an attempt to occupy the name of orthodoxy, and also recommended Liu Biao to inherit the throne. Hehehe, Cao Cao is really out of the limelight this time! ”

Li Li smiled indifferently and sighed lightly: "Yes, nowadays, Cao Mengde is full of spirit and scolds Fang Xuan, which is indeed not what it used to be!" ”

The smile on Jia Xu's face was a little cold after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "For more than a month, Cao Cao has repeatedly promulgated proclamations, which seem to be huge, but in fact, he is very weak, his confidence is insufficient, and he is very weak-hearted. He took the prime minister himself but recommended Liu Biao to inherit the throne, which in itself shows that he secretly hides the emperor's ambitions, but his strength is not good, and he does not dare to openly claim the emperor. He deliberately promoted Liu Biao in an attempt to lead the water to the east, and wanted to use Liu Biao's hand to contain the flank of our army, so as to delay the pace of our army's attack on Jizhou. It's a pity that he didn't know that we had no intention of marching into Jizhou at the moment, and he was smart enough to recommend Liu Biao to the throne, and he invisibly made an enmity with Liu Biao.

How can such a little trick to blame Jingzhou be able to hide from the treacherous and cunning Liu Jingsheng? It was Liu Biao who categorically rejected his recommendation, and implied that Cao Cao could be the emperor himself if he had the ambition of the emperor, and he did not want to pull him Liu Biao into this troubled water. I haven't seen this kind of lawsuit for a long time, and I don't think that this time Cao Cao and Liu Biao are the first to do so, and they are smiling and generous. Hehehe! ”

Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Cao Cao not only blamed Jingzhou this time, but also exposed many hidden dangers under his rule. First, his grandiose appointment of the brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to lead Qingzhou and Yanzhou shows that his appointment of the Yuan brothers is purely a cover for the truth. Anyone with a little bit of a brain can think of it. No matter how generous Cao Cao was, he would not give up the foundation land to Yuan Shang, and Qingzhou, which he had managed to occupy, was snatched from Yuan Tan. Now he has let Yuan Tan lead Qingzhou.

Such an inconsistent move is tantamount to telling the world bluntly and unmistakably that he Cao Cao is not at ease with the Yuan Tan brothers, and that Xu Yi's high-ranking officials are only to appease the two brothers, and in fact will not give them any real power at all. It can be seen that Cao Cao was quite jealous of the Yuan brothers, but he couldn't help them. It can only be appeased. It is the two brothers of Yuan Tan who are a huge hidden danger under Cao Cao's rule, and they will one day inevitably cause civil strife.

Second, it is reported in detail. Ju Yi, the former general of Jizhou, took advantage of the Battle of Yecheng to send troops to attack Changshan and Zhongshan, and since then the two sides have been in constant friction and frequent fighting, and they are still in confrontation with Cao's army. This is not simple. In the past, Yuan Shao was able to fight against General Gongsun Zan many times and repeatedly gained the upper hand. It's all thanks to this person's ability to use troops and fight bravely. In addition, Yuan Shao attacked the Montenegrin army and pacified Qingzhou, and all the soldiers and horses under Ju Yi's tent were used.

Because of this, for many years, the only general in Jizhou who could independently lead the army was Ju Yi, and other generals such as Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang He Gaolan and others did not have the opportunity to be independent. It was Ju Yi's transcendent status in the Jizhou army, and he was also the only strong general who dared to question Yuan Shao's military orders, for which Yuan Shao was very angry. If not, he would have to use him to resist the attack of the Youzhou army. I'm afraid that Yuan Shao would have already found an opportunity to get rid of him.

Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Ju Yi can't believe in Cao Cao. So they supported the army and stood on their own. Since then, Ju Yi's troops and horses have become the second hidden danger that Cao Cao absolutely cannot tolerate. However, if Cao Cao wants to exterminate Ju Yi in one fell swoop, it is not easy, you must know that Ju Yi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and there are few defeats, and his account is extremely brave, and he once fought against the white horse under the account of General Gongsun Zhan, and destroyed it in one fell swoop. Once Cao Cao leads his army to encircle and suppress Juyi, it will be tantamount to forcing him to our side, and then we only need to help him, and we can win him over and use him for my use.

At the same time, if Juyi is attached to our army, then the chances of winning the next attack on Jizhou will increase by 30%. After all, Ju Yi knows the terrain of the counties and counties in Jizhou well, and he is even more familiar with the tactical tactics of the generals in Jizhou. ”

After speaking, Guo Jia looked at Li Li with burning eyes, because he knew that Li Li had talked to Ju Yixu once when he traveled to Jizhou in his early years. At that time, Guo Jia didn't know what he meant, and he didn't know why Li Li looked at Ju Yi differently, as if he admired Ju Yi very much. Don't think about it, today, after many years, the situation has changed abruptly, and Ju Yi has now become a lone army, and there is every chance to subdue it.

Seeing Guo Jia's strange eyes, Li Li immediately understood, and said with an indifferent smile: "Just as Feng Xiao thought, before the army set off, I had ordered someone to go to Jizhou to negotiate with Ju Yi, and I thought that there would be results in a few days." ”

Just as Li Li was speaking, Lu Lingqi, who had been dressed all her life, walked over with a pot of boiled hot tea, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu immediately got up to give a salute. Lu Lingqi smiled, put down the tray, replaced the teapot that had cooled on the desk, and then bowed slightly, and walked into the backyard with light steps.

After Lu Lingqi left, Guo Jia and Jia Xu sat down. Obviously, Lu Lingqi's identity is completely different from before, and the veritable Duchess is that Guo Jia and Jia Xu can be rude to Li Li, but they can't be rude in front of his women. This move seems redundant, but in fact it is indispensable, don't you see that Li Li didn't stop the two of them from getting up and saluting?

Don't think that the identity of the concubine is not as noble as the main room, Li Li's women have the same status whether they are concubines or main rooms. Because of this, he did not stop Guo Jia and Jia Xu from getting up and saluting. This etiquette represents Li Li's respect for his wife and concubine, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu have followed him for many years, so they naturally know the mystery of it.

"Is Mrs. Lingqi also going with the army?" Guo Jia asked softly.

Li Li smiled and said, "Well, she will go with her." If it had been before, she would not have been able to go, but now it is different. She is my Li Li's woman, and she should know the proportions, so I didn't hide it from her and let her go with the army. Maybe she's not a bad thing??????"
