Chapter 59, the undercurrent is surging
Guo Jia quipped: "The lord regrets it? ”
Liu Bei turned around when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Never." ”
What is a state pastor without military power, Liu Bei has a lot to say about it, because he had witnessed it in his previous life.
Although Liu Biao is named the lord of Jingzhou, in fact, the person who really controls the military power is Cai Mao, so that the eldest son Liu Qi is forced to be helpless and has to run to Jiangxia to support the army to protect himself.
This is when Liu Biao entered Jingzhou in the early days, in order to quickly take power, he had to make compromises to Cai Mao and other Jingxiang heroes, so that later there was a trend that he could not get rid of.
Liu Bei doesn't want to be a gentleman like Liu Biao, but if he wants to achieve great things, centralization of power is inevitable.
As for the bloodshed and sacrifice, it is inevitable.
Benevolence and righteousness do not mean cowardice, Liu Bei believes that the true king of benevolence and righteousness should be the implementation of benevolent governance.
Liu Bei turned to face Guo Jia and muttered: "Even if Wen Ruo controls the military power of Yanmen, Ding Yuan still has 6,000 horsemen in his hands, all of whom are the elite of the Bingzhou army, what does Feng Xiao think should be done?" ”
Is this knowingly asked?
Guo Jia laughed secretly in his heart, Liu Bei also has the conditions of foresight, doesn't he really know how to crack Ding Yuan?
Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo both have one thing in common, that is, the father is kind and filial to the son, and if you want to break his father, you should start from his son.
They had just flipped through and inquired about the internal relations in the Bingzhou Army, and Ding Yuan had recognized a righteous son named "Lu Bu" last year.
His son is brave and good at fighting, and he must take the lead in every battle, and even did several feats of beheading the enemy's main general, and was praised as a flying general by the sergeant of Bingzhou.
However, it is such a fierce general, but Ding Yuan was arranged in the position of the main book, which is called "grinding". It doesn't matter whether Ding Yuan's specific intentions are suppressed or sharpened, what matters is what Lu Bu thinks in his heart.
Guo Jia shook his head slightly, and said: "I still don't understand Lu Bu's temperament, so I can't make a plan for a while, and only when I see this person in the future can I take measures according to the times." ”
Liu Bei smiled to himself: "I have a plan." ”
Guo Jia pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? ”
"With a military general, no matter what Ding Yuan thinks, then Lu Bu must be dissatisfied. As long as someone is sent to provoke it, and then he is allowed to take a heavy position, he will inevitably turn against Ding Yuan. ”
"The lord's hand is very good!"
Liu Bei accepted this praise calmly, although this discordant plan was originally used by Dong Zhuo, he sighed again: "I only hope that Ding Yuan can see the situation clearly, I really can't bear to kill a meritorious general." ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, how many people have fought to the death for power, but I am afraid that he is reluctant to release the military power in his hands." ”
Liu Bei nodded, and immediately stopped saying more.
"It's late at night, Feng Xiao should step back first."
He knew that Guo Jia was different from Kong Ming and didn't like to sleep with people, so he was not reluctant.
Guo Jia immediately bowed down and said, "Say goodbye below." ”
——
Riding the carriage back to the mansion, Guo Jia fell into deep thought.
The plan for merging the state has been preliminarily completed, and it is only to be implemented step by step, but now he has encountered a new problem.
There are a lot of wonderful ideas in my head, but I don't know how to come up with them.
For example, heavy cavalry.
The way of doing business.
Use medical treatment for the military.
……
As for papermaking and printing, Guo Jia did not plan to take it out at this time, this was digging up the roots of the family.
It's not that because he is also a child of a family, he is reluctant to destroy the foundation of the family.
It's just that the time hasn't come yet, and he doesn't want to be the first bird, and this kind of grand cause should be left to people with big ambitions (not afraid of death).
Just like Shang Ying, sacrificing the small self to achieve the big self.
Guo Jia asked himself if he was a layman, and he couldn't support such a groundbreaking career.
As for why he was bothered, it was because he was worried that once he took out these things, he would soon arouse Liu Bei's suspicions, and at that time, I was afraid that it would not be easy to round the field.
Guo Jia was reluctant to reveal his origin, even if Liu Bei was benevolent, he didn't dare to bet. And he was very sure, as long as he didn't say it, even if Liu Bei felt that he was different from the one in his previous life, he would never guess that he was a person two thousand years later.
This is the limitation of the times, just like if people in later generations encounter aliens, they will not be able to guess where he came from.
"Maybe I should find a spokesperson."
Guo Jia thought secretly in his heart.
In the name of the gods, these things were given to Liu Bei to create the atmosphere of the child of destiny.
Guo Jia put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "You seem to be afraid of me now." ”
He was the only one in the carriage, so he naturally said this to Xiao Zhan, who was driving. He could clearly feel that since the fire in Qingzhou, Xiao Zhan's attitude towards him had completely changed.
I could still joke and laugh with him before, but since that incident, there has only been a deep sense of awe and alienation in my eyes.
Xiao Zhan, who was seriously driving the carriage, heard this, and barely pulled out a smile on his face, and pretended to be relaxed: "How could it be!" It's just that I've grown a lot lately, and I've become scared of life. ”
"Really?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhan nodded, but a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.
He didn't want to lose this good job, but because of that incident, he realized that this seemingly approachable owner didn't blink an eye when he killed people.
He killed not one or two, but thousands.
No knives, just a few fluttering words.
To this day, the images of countless people struggling in the sea of fire are still vivid.
Guo Jia fell silent, and after a while, a bitter smile appeared on his face, this kind of bitter taste was really uncomfortable.
He doesn't like to kill, and these days he's had a few nightmares that only God knows.
If he had a choice, would he rather travel to the peaceful and prosperous world, fiddle with some small businesses at will, and be a rich man comfortably.
However, born in troubled times, how many people can be satisfied with everything? This kind of thing can't be explained, and it doesn't need much explanation.
Not long after, Guo Jia arrived at his mansion.
——
Late at night, Ding Yuan led a team of soldiers to the military camp outside Jinyang City in the snowstorm. In the big tent of the Chinese army, he knelt in front of the handsome seat, looking at the flickering candle flame in a daze.
In my mind, information about the new state pastor kept coming to mind.
The royal family and clan have obtained meritorious services for quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and all kinds of past are destined that this person will not hand over all the military affairs of the state to him like Zhang Yi.
There are only two paths in front of him, either to surrender the military power obediently, or to plan further and more.
The former can protect themselves without worry, and the latter ...... I am afraid that my life is in danger. If you commit the following crimes, you are destined to die without a place to bury if you fail.
But he was unwilling!
After years of war, can you only stop at the small border general?
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Ding Yuan's eyes.
At this time, a young military general walked into the handsome tent and said with a smile: "Why did my father-in-law come suddenly?" ”
