The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 388 Guo Jia's Up, Middle and Down Strategies
Faced with Guo Jia's proposal, Liu Bei didn't say it was feasible, nor did he sternly reject it, but listened to it as a joke, and persuaded Guo Jia to be cautious without even seriously considering the success or failure.

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude, Guo Jia immediately understood that using the plague to exterminate the princes would not work.

Then, you can only settle for the next best thing.

Guo Jia cupped his hands again and said, "My lord, the princes can put it aside for now, but there is one person who has to be eliminated now."

"Who?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Guo Jia smiled, and said a name: "Liu Dai, Liu Gongshan."

"Why?" Liu Bei was puzzled, "As a clan, Liu Gongshan has the same origin as a certain clan, and is also the governor of Yanzhou today. There is no emperor's edict, who dares to get rid of it lightly? Don't talk nonsense in honor of filial piety."

Liu Bei is also very dissatisfied with Liu Dai's sloppy performance, but at most he will not associate with him in the future, and he has no intention of getting rid of him.

Guo Jia explained: "Your Majesty, Rong Fen, looking at the challenge against Dong, Liu Gongshan, as the clan and governor of Yanzhou, has an ambiguous attitude. He doesn't use his strength to send troops, but he seems to be self-respecting. He doesn't want to serve the country and seek thieves. For infidelity!

At the beginning of the year, the lord gave him thousands of soldiers and horses, so that he could sit firmly on the position of governor, and later helped him conquer the bandits in Mount Tai.But it was unrighteous for this person to waver when making an alliance.

What's more, there were rumors in the army that he, Liu Gongshan, had secretly colluded with Dong Bandit long ago, and wanted to get out of the coalition army, with evil intentions.It's just that Liu Gongshan hadn't had time to act before Thief Dong was executed. "

Poor Mr. Dong, even if he died, he was pulled out again by Guo Jia as a target and severely whipped the corpse once.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Bei's face suddenly changed.

The first two don't matter, at most it proves that Liu Dai's character is poor and not good enough.

The current situation in the world is complicated, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves.Although Liu Bei was loyal to the Han Dynasty, he would not use such a strict bottom line to demand others, even Liu Dai who was born in the clan.

In Liu Bei's view, as long as you don't know how to raise the flag to rebel and plot wrongdoing, even if you are violating the emperor's edict, Liu Bei will bear it, after all, the current situation is like this.In his prediction, after he leveled the world and rectified the Han Dynasty, those who wavered would naturally bow their heads again and become loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of deeds and minds, if you really want to talk about your mind, I am afraid that there are not many real loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty in this world.

But the last one is different, colluding with Dong Zhuo, this is completely rebellious behavior, which has exceeded the bottom line.Dong Zhuo is a national traitor, so those who colluded with Dong Zhuo are also national traitors.

So Liu Bei said with a serious face: "Feng Xiao, you can't say this nonsense, do you have evidence?"

Guo Jia quickly shook his head and said, "No."

"No? Then there's no need to talk about it."

Guo Jia said again: "My lord, Jia has no evidence, but Zichu has conclusive evidence."

It was probably because Lin Chao had sold him out more times, now that he blamed Lin Chao, Guo Jia didn't blush, her heart didn't beat, and she spoke fluently.

As for Liu Bei confronting Lin Chao?
That would be even better, because getting rid of Liu Dai was Lin Chao's intention, and it was just expressed by Guo Jia.

"Is this true?"

Liu Bei's eyes widened immediately, and he asked.

Zichu has evidence, but why has he never told someone about it?

"Don't dare to lie to my lord, Zichu does have evidence in his hand." Guo Jia laughed, "A few months ago, Zichu entered Luo to kill Dong thief, and found a letter from Dong thief, which was written by Liu Gongshan. Dong thief’s. The words are full of flattery, which makes people sick, so it’s inconvenient to repeat it with the lord.”

Liu Bei's first reaction was not to believe it. After all, Liu Dai was a clan, and this background made him a natural supporter of the Han Dynasty.

Conspiring with Dong Zhuo to overthrow Liu Dai, what good can Liu Dai do?
This is not logical!

But fiction only needs logic, and reality only talks about efficiency.

In the original history, Liu Ye was originally a clan member of the Han family, but he was a staunch supporter of the Cao Wei family. How can there be reason for this?

Seeing that Guo Jia's words were convincing, and Lin Chao was pulled out to testify, Liu Bei hesitated a little.

Could it be that Liu Gongshan really... secretly colluded with Dong Zhuo?
Once this idea popped up in my mind, I thought of Liu Dai's actions all the time, and believed Guo Jia's words even more.

Guo Jia could see the change in Liu Bei's expression. Seeing that there were signs of loosening, he said while the iron was hot: "My lord, there is one more important point."

After all, under Liu Bei's puzzled gaze, Guo Jia opened the map that he got from Lin Chaona, and pointed to the location of Qingzhou on the map.

"My lord, please see that Taishan County is now under the control of our army." Guo Jia said, "According to the plan formulated by Zichu, after returning to Xuzhou to recuperate this time, it is time to attack Qingzhou."

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded slightly.He also agrees with Lin Chao's strategy.

Qingzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, although it is not rich and rich, it has its own unique features.Because of its unique geographical environment, it is most suitable for operation as a rear base camp.

Beihai County in Qingzhou connects Langya County with fertile plains and rich river resources. There is no fear of drought and it can raise hundreds of thousands of troops.

There is Taishan County in the west as a barrier. As long as you deploy heavy troops here, this area will be as solid as gold.

It is a pity that since the Yellow Turban Uprising, due to geographical factors in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban bandits have become more and more rampant in the territory.

Guo Jia continued: "My lord, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qingzhou has been harassed by bandits, and now the territory is full of bandits. If you want to conquer, you have to attack every city and every place. Even if you devote all your strength to Xuzhou, it won't take a year or so It will be difficult to attack. Once the troops are turned, they will be invincible. At that time, the rear will be empty, and Liu Gongshan, a capricious villain, will my lord dare to keep him in Yanzhou?"

At the end of Guo Jia's words, Liu Bei was shocked into a cold sweat.

Yes, Feng Xiao's words are not bad!

Since ancient times, when planning military campaigns, temple calculations are the first priority, and before success is considered, failure must be considered first!
Dedicate Xuzhou's strength to attack Qingzhou, and it will naturally win, but the difficulty lies not in the battlefield, but in the rear.

This side is attacking Qingzhou, behind Yanzhou, Yuzhou's army took advantage of the situation to get out, even though Xuzhou has a huge advantage in strength, it cannot be one against three.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve the worries before going out to ensure that the surrounding princes will not take advantage of the situation to attack.And Liu Dai, a repeated villain, is like a dog, as long as it is beneficial, he will immediately pounce on it, so Liu Bei can't be relieved.

Under such circumstances, it is imperative to get rid of or replace this person.

And right now the feudal lords are gathering in Luoyang, which is the best opportunity. If they miss it, when everyone goes back to their homes, if they want to get rid of Liu Dai, they will have to send troops to conquer, which will add a lot of variables.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei came back to his senses, looked at Guo Jia with a smile, and said, "Feng Xiao, although Liu Gongshan is unbearable, he is not so good as to collude with Dong Bandit. Is the letter you mentioned just now true?" Fake?"

Guo Jia hurriedly replied, "Of course it is true. Jia dares to swear on Lin Zichu's life. If there is even half a lie, Lin Zichu will die!"

Liu Bei: "..."

How much hatred do you two have?

With a wry smile, Liu Bei asked again: "Since that's the case, can Fengxiao be successful?"

My lord agrees!
Hearing this, Guo Jia was overjoyed, and immediately said: "My lord, Jia has three strategies, the upper, the middle, and the lower, and it's up to the lord to choose."

Liu Bei was taken aback, and said in his heart that you have been with Zichu for so long, and you have not learned anything else, but you have learned a lot about this pose.

What Liu Bei didn't expect was that there are several ways to get involved with a person.

In normal people's cognition, killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, and it's just a matter of cutting left and right.

But Guo Jia said that there are nine ways to kill Liu Gongshan!
Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia, held back for a long time before opening his mouth and said, "So, Feng Xiao might as well talk about it."

When it came to offering advice, Guo Jia became very excited. He even stood up and straightened his clothes, with a ceremonial appearance, and said loudly: "My lord, Jia's best strategy is to let Yun Chang and Zilong lead the army." Attack and kill Liu Gongshan. Once Liu Gongshan dies, the lord can gather the tribes under his command, this is killing two birds with one stone!"

Hearing this strategy, Liu Bei just rolled his eyes and shook his head.

This strategy is a bit more ruthless, and the effect is immediate, but Liu Bei dares to do this, waiting to be cut off from the Kanto princes.Although the Kanto Alliance at this time has existed in name only, but this kind of fighting in the nest without martial arts is still not popular.

Seeing that Liu Bei was dissatisfied, Guo Jia was not discouraged at all, and continued: "My lord, Jiazhong's strategy is to repeat the same old tricks and make Liu Gongshan and others turn against each other. At that time, Yun Chang and Zilong will lead the army to attack and kill Liu Gongshan, and then blame him. People. The lord will take advantage of the situation to mediate, so that he can gain both fame and fortune."

Liu Bei: "..."

It's raiding and killing again, isn't there anything new?
Seeing that Liu Bei was still dissatisfied, Guo Jia spread his hands and said, "My lord, Jia's strategy is to announce to the public that Liu Gongshan has colluded with Dong Bandit, and before everyone reacts, make Yun Chang and Zilong Leading the army to attack and kill Liu Gongshan, and cutting through the chaos so quickly, it is justifiable."

After Liu Bei listened, he was silent for a long time, then looked at Guo Jia with a very strange look, and said softly, "Feng Xiao, is there a clever way to remove Liu Gongshan from the position of governor of Yanzhou in a legitimate way without sneaking up on him?"

Whether Liu Dai died or not, Liu Bei didn't care very much, but he could no longer be allowed to be the governor of Yanzhou.

"This……"

Guo Jia thought for a long time before finally saying, "My lord, if you really want to do this, I'm afraid you have to go to the emperor first and remove Liu Gongshan from the post of governor. If he doesn't follow, then let Yun Chang and Zilong lead the army to attack and kill him. That's all. Since then, it is inevitable that the night will have long dreams and many lives..."

"Okay, that's it!"

Guo Jia was still chattering, but Liu Bei slapped the table and said, "Wait for a letter from a certain person, and present it to the emperor, saying Liu Gongshan's fault, and ask the emperor to judge him. If Liu Gongshan doesn't obey the edict, he will be arrested again." Take it down."

The so-called asking the emperor to judge means that Liu Bei intends to sue Liu Dai in front of the emperor.

Of course, although Lin Chao didn't say it clearly, Liu Bei also understood that Zhang Ji, the existing commander of the Xiliang Army in Chang'an City, should be one of his own.

So your own melody should be useful.

……

In Lin Chao's tent.

After Guo Jia left Liu Bei's camp, he went straight to Lin Chao's camp, but happened to see Lin Chaozheng chatting with Tai Shici.

Seeing Guo Jia coming, Lin Chao smiled and said, "What, Duke Xuande agrees?"

Guo Jia laughed and said: "That's natural, my lord is the lord of sages, and after a certain statement of interests, my lord immediately made a decision!"

Compared to the excited Guo Jia, Lin Chao's expression was extremely calm, and he just said indifferently: "Let someone guess, whether Xuande Lord will report to the emperor first, and then act dignifiedly?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Lin Zichu, it's true."

A hint of imperceptible admiration flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he said.

Lin Chao smiled: "Then act first, the emperor's edict will arrive soon."

With Li Ru in Chang'an, how many edicts he wants and what content he wants to write on it is not a matter of one sentence.

"That's what I meant too." Guo Jia nodded.

Lin Chao didn't reply, but looked at Tai Shici, and asked, "Ziyi, you have been a bodyguard for a few months. With your talents, being a bodyguard is indeed a bit of a shame. I don't know if there is something in you." Complaints?"

"The general does not agree with what the supervisor said!" Tai Shici hurriedly stood up, cupped his fists and bowed, "It is a great fortune for the general to serve the supervisor and listen to his teachings, so why not complain! Could it be that he is in the prison In the eyes of the army, the last general is such a villain?"

Seeing that Tai Shici was a little excited, Lin Chao hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, so-and-so made a mistake. So-and-so's intention, if Ziyi is interested, how about going to be a lieutenant general in the army?"

Who's lieutenant?
Of course it was Lin Xi.

Tai Shici is courageous and resourceful, and even more talented as a general, so it is perfect for him to assist the current Lin Xi.

And he worked as a guard by his side for several months, which means that Lin Chao used his prestige in the army to pave the way for him, so that there would be no dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

And the new guard now has a substitute, so just choose one of Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu.

Lin Chao was naturally painstaking, but he did not expect that Lin Xi had already selected a deputy general for himself, and the person was Xu Huang.

What he didn't expect was that Tai Shici shook his head resolutely when faced with this opportunity that others dreamed of.

"Supervisor, forgive the general for being bold, the general does not want to go!"

Lin Chao was puzzled and said, "Why? But Ziyi thinks that the post of deputy general is a bit too small, so he can't let him display his skills?"

Hearing this, Tai Shici nodded his head first, then shook his head, and said, "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the jokes of the supervising army. The general has great ambitions since he was a child, and he will make great achievements in his lifetime. But the general Knowing that the current ability of the general is not enough to take on the big task, I also ask the supervisor to allow the general to continue to serve you in front of you, just to learn the method of defeating ten thousand enemies!"

I have big ambitions and ambitions, but I don't hide it!
The short-term forbearance is only for flying higher and farther in the future!
Tai Shici was well aware of the importance of guarding the Lin Dynasty in Xuzhou's civil and military hearts.If he left the Lin Dynasty now, and continued to kill the enemy and make meritorious service step by step in the future, his achievements in this life would be limited after all.

If he continued to stay by Lin Chao's side, Shi Chang would be reminded by the supervising army, even if his aptitude was dull, it would be of great benefit.And in terms of qualifications, no one dared to underestimate themselves.

Guo Jia next to him took a deep look at Tai Shici, his eyes full of appreciation.

Look at what I said, this pattern is completely opened up!

This man is a smart man!
