Chapter 995
"This is Zhuo Jing, and this is Liu Cong, the dog."

After the dinner, although Liu Biao was a little upset, he still stayed in Guo Jia's residence overnight.

If you stay overnight, you will see your family members, which is the so-called good family.

Goodbye ma'am!

It was also the first time for Guo Jia to see Cai, and she was as beautiful as a flower, no wonder he was favored by Liu Biao.

"Meet Mr. Guo!"

Mrs. Cai also gave a little blessing, lightly parted her lips and said: "I often hear my husband mentioning Mr., seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

As expected of a woman from a wealthy family, she has a charming attitude in her gestures.

"Liu Cong pays homage to Mr. Guo!"

A young man bowed in front of Guo Jia, it was Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Biao.

The second son is polite!

Guo Jia also returned a salute.

This kid is Liu Cong, he looks smart and smart, no wonder Liu Biao wants to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.

After letting his family see Guo Jia, Liu Biao waved them off.

"Fengyi, there are only the two of us now, what is the purpose of the general coming here?"

Liu Biao lowered his voice and asked.

He wanted to have an open and honest talk with Guo Jia.

Ha ha!

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said: "To be honest, the general wants to ask the general for two things."

Please say!

Liu Biao said without expression.

He naturally knew that Guo Jia's visit this time was not for fun.

"Jingzhou is rich and has a large population. The general wants to increase the trade between the two sides. Firstly, it can enrich the living needs of the people in Jingzhou, and secondly, it can also communicate with each other."

no problem.

Liu Biao agreed without thinking.

It is a good thing to communicate with each other, and naturally he will not object.Besides, even if he objects, Yunzhou's goods can still be circulated privately.

Instead of being sneaky, it's better to be included in the tax system openly, and it can also increase the source of Jingzhou's fiscal and taxation. Why not do it?
second……

Guo Jia paused, and said with a smile: "The general is willing to form an alliance with the general, and Yunzhou and Jingzhou will advance and retreat together."

what?
Hearing this, Liu Biao couldn't help being overjoyed.

"The general is really willing to form an alliance with Jingzhou?"

His voice trembled a little.

With Guo Jia's strength, there is no need to form an alliance with anyone, unless it is surrender, but Liu Biao sits on the eight counties of Jingxiang and has [-] armies, so naturally he is not willing to surrender to Guo Jia.

Forming an alliance means that the two are equal, at least they are not Guo Jia's subordinates, and Liu Biao is very satisfied with this result.

Not bad!

Guo Jia nodded, and said: "The general's ambition is in the north, and he doesn't have much interest in Henan. But he doesn't want to take advantage of Cao Cao, so he hopes to form an alliance with the general to check and balance Cao Cao."

Not interested in Henan?
Guo Jia herself didn't believe what she said, but Yunzhou has experienced many wars one after another at this stage, and it takes a long time to recover. In addition, the economic transformation is in a critical period, and it is unable to launch a war.

So I had no choice but to form an alliance with Liu Biao and temporarily use him to hold Cao Cao back.

Hahahaha!

Liu Biao suddenly laughed a few times, and said: "What the general said is true, and I, Teacher Liu Biao, agree with it."

Forming an alliance with Yunzhou, Liu Biao, who does not seek to make progress, naturally wishes for it.

very good!

Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction, and said, "In that case, please choose a time, General, how about we two sign an agreement?"

no problem!
Without even thinking about it, Liu Biao said, "It's better to hit the sun today, let's do it tomorrow!"

The alliance is an important matter, Liu Biao also needs to prepare, and invite some celebrities to cheer.

Ever since, Guo Jia stayed at Mushou Mansion that night.

……

Lord!

Back in the room, Kuai Yue came up to welcome him, and Cai Mao came up together.

The two are Liu Biao's right-hand men, and Liu Biao specially asked them to wait here.

"What is the purpose of this Guo He?"

Cai Mao asked impatiently.

Good thing!

Liu Biao said happily, "The general wants to form an offensive and defensive alliance with our Jingzhou."

Ah!
Hearing this, Cai Mao was also very excited.

Yunzhou is a huge monster, and Guo Jia is also a hero of the generation. With Yunzhou as the backing, they can rest easy in Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue frowned, he felt that things were not that simple.

"director!"

He coughed and said: "The Yunzhou family has a great business, and they have many soldiers and generals under their command. How can they be on an equal footing with Jingzhou? There must be a conspiracy."

Too much to worry about!
Cai Mao had been at odds with Kuai Yue all the time, and immediately retorted: "We have long-distance relations and close-range attacks. Yunzhou and Jingzhou do not border each other, and there is no conflict of interest. It is only natural for the two to form an alliance."

is it?

Kuai Yue sneered, "If that's the case, why didn't Guo Jia form an alliance with Jingzhou before?"

He suddenly clasped his fists and said to Liu Biao: "Master, apart from the superior geographical location, the most important reason for our peace in Jingzhou is that we adhere to the principle of neutrality. Although there are people with ulterior motives around, there is no excuse for a while. Guo Jia The reputation among the princes is very bad, and I don’t know when it will cause public anger. Once we in Jingzhou form an alliance with Guo Jia, we will be tied to Yunzhou’s chariot, so be careful to be tired of Yunzhou.”

Liu Biao also hesitated.

Guo Jia is famous for being able to cause trouble, and it is not once or twice that he has caused public anger. If he does something shocking to the world again, Jingzhou will definitely be tired of him.

Lord!

Cai Hao also clasped his fists and said: "The reason why the general can dominate the north and stand out from the crowd is because of his army that can fight well. If you don't accept it, you will do it. The surrounding princes will lose their temper. The subordinates think that we in Jingzhou should learn from Yunzhou. Only when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, will they not be coveted by others."

He suddenly cast a sidelong glance at Kuai Yue and said with a sneer, "Strength determines everything. It's not that others have never tried to attack Jingzhou, but they were frightened by our Jingzhou army. If there is no Jingzhou army, what would Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Liu Zhang do?" Would you be so polite?"

These remarks were somewhat aimed at Kuai Yue.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue have always been at odds.

Kuai Yue was a civil servant, and Cai Mao was a general, and they held the military and political power in Jingzhou respectively.

Kuai Yue suggested to Liu Biao that the Lixian corporal should convince others with virtue and take the way of Wenzhi.

But Cai Mao believes that in troubled times, force comes first.

Only by strengthening the military can we be able to sit back and relax.

Makes sense!
Liu Biao nodded.

The reason why he was able to secure Jingzhou was because of his reputation. The most important thing was that he had a hundred thousand troops in his hands.

Without the [-] troops, Jingzhou would have been annexed long ago.

As long as he controls an army capable of fighting, no one around will dare to provoke Jingzhou easily.

Besides, the alliance with Yunzhou will not suffer.

After all, Guo Jia is the biggest overlord in the north.

"I have made up my mind. Tomorrow morning, I will burn incense and take a bath, and make an alliance with the envoy from Yunzhou."

Liu Biao said firmly.

Seeing that Liu Biao had made up his mind, Kuai Yue had no choice but to cup his fists.
