Chapter 180, Polemic
Liu Bei's sudden invitation ended the family meeting, and Guo Jia knew that if there was nothing important, Liu Bei would not send someone to invite him.
The two have already reached a tacit understanding, or Guo Jia has already made it clear that he will never intervene in government affairs.
In other words, when Liu Bei sent someone to invite, it meant that there was important military information. With the current situation, there is only one important military situation, and that is the matter of marching into Guanzhong.
When Guo Jia arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the council hall was already overcrowded, and all the civil and military forces had arrived.
"If you are one step late, please punish the prime minister."
As soon as Guo Jia entered the door, he consciously pleaded guilty, and it is worth mentioning that since Liu Bei ascended to the position of prime minister, the title of Wenwu under his command has gradually changed.
"It's okay, it's understandable to work day and night for the great cause of the Han family." Liu Bei fully demonstrated his demeanor as a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, and finally did not forget to give Guo Jia a vague look, signaling: I understand your hardships.
This is a secret between the two, and they have tacitly agreed with each other not to divulge it to others. Because Liu Bei was worried that Lu Bu would repeat the mistakes of the past, at least until Diao Chan stepped into the gate of Guo's mansion, he couldn't let Lu Bu know about her existence.
He didn't know that because of the butterfly effect of the two of them, Wang Yun's goal had already changed, and he had been staring at Guo Jia from the beginning.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they just sighed that Cheng was still as tolerant as ever to Guo Jia.
"Jinyiwei got the news that Cao Cao had sent troops to Xuzhou a month ago, on the grounds that he wanted justice for his father." Liu Bei spoke slowly and went straight to the point.
In fact, he also holds part of the power of Jinyiwei in his hands, which Guo Jia took the initiative to hand over and divide the power in his hands, but also to facilitate his actions.
As Liu Bei's strength rises, it is impossible for him to go out with the army from time to time as before, and this is also so that Liu Bei can use Jinyiwei's intelligence system at the first time.
After getting the news, Liu Bei's heart was haunted by a trace of doubt.
Because the development of things deviated from the previous life, although Cao Song was still intercepted and killed by Tao Qian's generals, he was not in danger and did not die. The result was the same as in his previous life, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the name of Tao Qian's murder of his father and revenge for his father.
Although his rebirth has changed many things, there are also many accidents.
For example, Cao Cao became the county guard of Chen Liujun in advance, recruited many talents in advance, and this time his father Cao Song escaped death.
One chance may be a coincidence, but when many accidents are combined, I am afraid that it is no longer a coincidence.
Liu Bei couldn't help but wonder if Cao Cao would have experienced the same thing as him.
Rebirth!
Of course, it is not excluded that this matter was also influenced by him.
In the end, Liu Bei came to the conclusion that either the incident was still a coincidence, or it was ...... Cao Cao was reborn after the separation of the capital and the master.
Because before this, Cao Cao's life trajectory has not changed, and there is an extremely important reason.
Bian Yuer.
If Cao Cao was reborn from the beginning, how could he give up his wife in his previous life, and he didn't really love Guo Jia too much, right?
Bian Yuer's identity Liu Bei only learned later, because Xun Yu named Guo Jia's second son "Pi". Later, after asking Bian's name, he came to a conclusion.
So much so that Liu Bei gave the name "Guo Zhi" to the second son that Bian Yuer might conceive again, and made an agreement with Guo Jia.
His reason was that Xun Yu could name your son, why can't I?
Straight to the point.
When Zhang Fei heard the news of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, he immediately smiled.
"Okay, this Cao Cao has finally done it, big brother, without further ado, let's take Guanzhong as soon as possible, I Zhang Fei is willing to be the pioneer."
"The Iron Float Massacre can't be moved lightly, let's let the last general go."
Not surprisingly, Lu Bu was still the first to stand up and fight with him.
At the wine table are brothers, and when there is a war, the two will turn into rivals again.
Because of the Iron Floating Massacre in his hand, Zhang Fei has lost many times. The cost of this army is an insurmountable hurdle, and at the same time, as the sharp knife of more than 100,000 troops under his command, Liu Bei will never allow this ace cavalry to go wrong.
This is exactly what there is to gain and lose, since Zhang Fei is in charge of Tiefutu, he has to give up the position of the vanguard officer.
"The last general is also willing to be the vanguard."
"The last general is also willing to be the vanguard."
…… Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others jumped out to compete for the position of pioneer.
However, this time, Zhang Fei did not withdraw from the competition as he thought he was so knowledgeable, but spoke amazingly.
"Big brother, I am willing to hand over the Iron Floating Massacre."
Zhang Fei had long lost the excitement he had at the beginning, although he was indeed happy to charge into battle with this heavy armored army, he was destined to never be the first person to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Especially after the other opponents knew about the existence of the Iron Floating Massacre and figured out various ways to restrict it, they had to be more careful with the use of this heavy armored army.
Liu Bei was taken aback, he didn't expect that his third brother would be able to give up Tiefutu to the vanguard position.
But...... The position of the pioneer officer is not yet his turn!
As his own brother, Zhang Fei has been taken care of enough.
On the contrary, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Rong and others have not yet had the opportunity to show what they have learned, and it would be too biased to keep appointing their own brothers.
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Huang Zhong listens to the order!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was announced that the position of the vanguard officer had been decided. As the monarch of the southern and northern wars, Liu Bei's prestige is naturally undoubted, and he can suppress these arrogant generals.
Moreover, Huang Zhong had made great contributions to the pacification of the Jingshi Rebellion before, and it was inevitable that he would be reused. Even Zhang Fei didn't open his mouth to compete anymore, because Huang Zhong's martial arts won his approval.
Especially the opponent's 100-step archery skills, even Zhang Fei was a little envious.
"The end will be."
Huang Zhong didn't expect that he didn't even have the heart to stand up and join in the fun, but in the end, he was named, so that his reaction was slow for a moment.
Because in his opinion, the position of this vanguard general will most likely be on the three of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu.
Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's sworn brother, Lu Bu is a highly decorated veteran, and Zhao Yun is the young general that Liu Bei values the most.
"I order you to lead 8,000 elite soldiers as a vanguard general, open the way for the army to meet the mountains and build bridges when encountering water."
"The last general, take the order."
"Xu Rong listens to orders"
Liu Bei pointed out the name of the other party.
"The end will be."
"Ming Ling is the vanguard deputy general, and assists Han Sheng in taking charge of the eight thousand forwards."
"The last general commands."
Although he knows Xu Rong's ability to command the army, the other party is only a new vote after all, and his credit is limited. And it is not a grievance to be a deputy general for Huang Zhong, after all, Huang Hansheng is also a good general.
After arranging the candidates for the chief general and deputy general of the vanguard army, Liu Bei looked at the ranks of civilian officials.
"Although Dong Zhuo's strength has been greatly damaged, the remaining momentum is still there, how do you think this battle should open up the situation?"
"There's a way to do it."
