Luoyang.

In the dead of night, the moon hangs high.

"Sit"

In Guo's mansion, Guo Jia met with Liu Biao, who was about to go to Jingzhou to take up his post. The table was full of wine and meat, and there was a tendency to talk all night long.

One of the eight horses, riding into Jingzhou alone.

Liu Biao was also a famous prince in the late Han Dynasty, but the world and even later generations had mixed reviews of him.

Some people think that he has outstanding ability, after all, he can quickly stabilize the situation after riding into Jingzhou alone, and sit on the throne of the lord of Jingzhou for decades, and he will never be a mediocre talent.

But if it is said that he is eloquent, he has spent his life in Jingzhou without any achievements.

In the end, the evaluation of this person was agreed.

The King of Success.

This is the strategy that Liu Bei set when he was still in Luoyang, and used Liu Biao as the pastor of Jingzhou to contain Yuan Shu. The reason why it has not been implemented until now is because Yuan Kui was still there at that time.

If it is proposed too early, not to mention the resistance that will be encountered, Liu Biao may not be able to go to Jingzhou, because he and Liu Bei are both members of the Liu family. Yuan Shu had his eye on Jingzhou, and would never want to see a Chinese from the Liu family in charge of Jingzhou.

After the two of them sat down, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Brother Jingsheng is very curious, why did I invite you to come?" ”

Liu Biao looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated face, and felt some emotion in his heart.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves...... Even scheming people like Yuan Kui have been planted in the hands of younger generations. At the same time, I was a little glad in my heart, if he hadn't refused the invitation of those people because he was sick, I am afraid that he would have to be added to the guillotine.

And after seeing the bloody night, Liu Biao gladly accepted the release. There are disputes outside the Beijing Division, and there is no undercurrent surging within the Beijing Division?

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.

Liu Biao groaned: "But for the sake of Jingzhou? ”

He had already thought that no matter what Guo Jia asked him later, he would answer it. As for whether to do it or not to do it, that will be left to a later date.

"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded and said, "Prime Minister hopes that after Liu Zhoumu goes to Jingzhou, he will be able to raise troops to attack Nanyang." Of course, if Yuan Shu returns to his division, Liu Yuanjun can withdraw his troops on his own. ”

Siege Wei to save Zhao and drive the tiger to devour the wolf.

Liu Biao quickly had an answer in his heart, this was the reason why Liu Bei canonized him as the pastor of Jingzhou, but to use his hand to contain Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu rebelled, and as a Hanchen, it is incumbent upon me to do so. It's just that...... There are many clans in Jingzhou, and when I first entered Jingzhou, I was afraid that it would be difficult to grasp military power for a while. ”

promised, but could not directly guarantee, otherwise the other party would not be gullible.

This is Liu Biao's thoughts.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "It's okay, there is a strategy to help Liu Yuanjun quickly take charge of Jingzhou." ”

"Oh? Feng Xiaoxian, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"Win over a group, kill a group, make friends with the Cai family in Jingzhou, the Liu family, and the head of the Zhu clan, and you can quickly control Jingzhou."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at Liu Biao, waiting for his response.

The latter was lost in thought, but in his heart he was quite surprised.

After judging the situation in Jingzhou, he wanted to make friends with the Liu family and the Cai family, and quickly gain a foothold with the help of these two families, and then try to do anything else.

And Guo Jia not only thought of this, but even took the second step into account.

Liu Biao then pushed the boat along the river and promised: "Thank you for the good policy of Feng Xiaoxian, if I am in charge of Jingzhou, I will immediately send troops to relieve the siege of the imperial court." ”

Guo Jia's next words shocked him.

"Did Liu Yuanjun think that as long as you broke away from the Beijing Division, the prime minister would be helpless against you?"

Liu Biao really thinks so, as long as he succeeds in Jingzhou, he doesn't need to be afraid of Liu Bei anymore. From then on, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish can jump.

If Liu Bei wanted to move him, he would first have to pass the Yuan Shu level, which was obviously inconsistent with the interests of the other party.

With Liu Bei's current territory, the next step must be to enter Guanzhong, if he goes south to capture Nanyang, it will lead to too long a territory, and a fire will break out on the whole line if he is not careful.

"I have no such intention, I will definitely send troops after entering Jingzhou, and the sky will be a reference." Of course, Liu Biao would not admit it, and even swore to heaven.

However, how could Guo Jia believe in this so-called oath?

This era is not the cultivation realm, there is no so-called heavenly punishment, and the sky will not send down divine thunder to punish those who break their oaths.

"Actually, Liu Yuanjun is right, after you enter Jingzhou, you will be one of the princes with 100,000 troops. And there is a Yuan Shu between Jingzhou and Jingshi, and the prime minister is beyond the reach of the whip. ”

"But have you ever thought about who will be the most likely to dominate the world in the future?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Biao with interest.

The latter seemed to guess the hidden meaning of his words, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

The other party was reminding him that he could escape for a while, but he couldn't escape for a lifetime. It is true that Jingzhou can protect itself for a while, but Liu Bei is the person who is most likely to dominate the world in the future, and some things will have to be faced sooner or later.

And after Liu Bei dominates the world, how will he deal with the treacherous Liu Biao? At that time, the angry Liu Bei would not care about the feelings of the same clan.

Conversely, keeping promises is also leaving a way out for yourself and your children and grandchildren.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, Liu Biao said with a straight face: "Brother Feng Xiaoxian completely misunderstood, is it true that in your heart, being a brother is a treacherous person?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Naturally not, it's just that I hit it off with my brother at first sight, lest Brother Jingsheng be mistaken by a traitor." ”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank again, each with a ghost.

Guo Jia said again: "And Brother Jingsheng thinks that if you don't commit Yuan Shu, he will be safe with you?" ”

"What Brother Feng Xiaoxian said is very true, I should be a policeman."

Liu Biao agrees with this statement.

Nanyang is the richest county in Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu's strength is beyond doubt. If there is a choice, Liu Biao will naturally be happy to take back Nanyang.

However, with Yuan Shu's strength, it was difficult to do this.

Similarly, why didn't Yuan Shu want to occupy the nine counties of Jingzhou?

An hour later, Liu Biao claimed that he was not strong enough to drink and left.

Gentle footsteps sounded, Cai Yan walked with a decanting soup, her graceful figure was like a swinging willow, and the little white rabbit jumped around restlessly.

"Who is that, who wants your husband to accompany you personally?" Cai Yan slowly put down the decanting soup in his hand and asked with some curiosity.

"The future Jingzhou Mu, although he is now a person who is at his mercy, in a few days, he will become one of the princes in the world."

Guo Jia did not hide it, this kind of thing will be announced to the public sooner or later.

Cai Yan thought for a while, and then asked, "Is the prime minister deliberately using this person to contain Yuan Shu?" ”

Now Liu Bei is at war with Yuan Shu, but at this time, he suddenly appointed a Jingzhou pastor, and his intention is already about to come out. Any good strategist can see it, but if this eyesight appears on a woman, it is worth applauding.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of his nose that was as clear as jade, and said jokingly: "If Zhao Ji is born as a man, she must be a great rival for her husband." ”

Cai Yan glanced at him, and said angrily: "If I am an enemy of you, I am afraid that I will die without a place to be buried." ”

The turmoil that night killed many people, including Guo Jia's opponents.

"Akihime is wrong, even if you are a man, I will not kill you."

"Why?"

Cai Yan was puzzled, and then subconsciously thought that this was the sympathy of people when they met their confidants.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "If Zhao Ji is born as a man, she must be a beautiful man who is as gentle as jade, handsome and chic, how can I bear to kill you?" ”

"What do you have to do with a man being born handsome?"

Cai Yan has already seen through this person's temperament, not to mention that he is lustful, but he is also unruly.

Guo Jia was surprised: "Could it be that in Zhao Ji's heart, men and men can't?" Zhaohime, you are in love, true love can transcend all the obstacles of time. ”

Then he was beaten by Cai Yan.

After some fighting, Cai Yan said again: "I heard that Ma Teng Han Sui raided Chang'an, Dong Zhuo has withdrawn his troops, so the danger of Hangu Pass has been solved. ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Whether Dong Zhuo retreats or not, he can't break through Hangu Pass, and now the prime minister is fully capable of fighting on three fronts." ”

The Luoyang Rebellion has been pacified, and if Dong Zhuo continues to attack Hangu Pass, Guo Jia can send Huang Zhong to lead troops to reinforce him.

Moreover, although the main force of the state army is exhausted, there are still tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers in the city, and it is more than enough to reinforce various battlefields.

Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh a little, the efforts of the past few years have not been in vain after all, Liu Bei has grown into a behemoth.

Whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Yuan Shu, they are no longer able to fight Liu Bei unilaterally, and even if they join forces, it is difficult to threaten him.

And Liu Biao, who once took in Liu Bei, now even the position of Jingzhou Mu is canonized by Liu Bei.

Cai Yan knew that what he said was the truth, and so far, there has been no decline on the battlefield, which shows Liu Bei's strength.

But seeing the man's proud appearance, she couldn't help but quip: "Husband, don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

Guo Jia was stunned, and then realized that it was a joke, so he showed a malicious smile.

"It's true that the enemy is underestimated, the prime minister has the strength of one enemy and three enemies, but the husband is a step behind."

After speaking, he drank the decanting soup in one gulp.

Cai Yan quickly thought of the so-called allusion of "one enemy and three", grabbed the hem of his skirt and got up and fled.

Guo Jia also stood up slowly, and Du Bu followed.

……

Both Ma Teng and Han Sui knew that if they wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo, they had to occupy Chang'an City while his main force had not yet withdrawn.

As a result, in the past few days, the two have been almost day and night, commanding their soldiers to launch siege battles at any cost.

However, Chang'an is a former capital city after all, and the city walls are both tall and high, so it is not easy to break through in a short time.

At this moment, the sky suddenly lit up in the rear, and the sound of shaking the mountains came.

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Dong Zhuo is back!

Han Sui said in a deep voice: "We are defeated. ”

"Withdraw your troops."

"Who wants to break off?"

Han Sui looked around, and as soon as the words fell, a white-robed young general stood up.

"The last will go."

This is Ma Teng's eldest son, and as he grows older, he has the reputation of Xiliang Jin.

Ma Teng just wanted to retire his eldest son, but when he saw Han Sui and said, "Yan Xing, you lead an army to break off with Meng Qi." ”

"Whoa."

Ma Teng immediately retracted the words from his mouth, and it can be seen that the alliance of the sworn brothers is actually not so strong.
