Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 133 Ghosts make plans, Liu Dai and Yuan Shao get married

Guo Jia chuckled: "The relationship is very close, which only proves that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have a good personal relationship and can help each other in personal affairs. However, no matter how good the personal relationship is, you can't touch the other party's core interests!"

"Otherwise, no matter how good a friend is, they will turn against each other."

"The reason why Liu Bei wants to prevent Yuan Taishou from acquiring Jizhou is because if Yuan Taishou wins Han Fu Jizhou, it will seriously infringe the core interests of Qingzhou."

"For Liu Bei, whether it is Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, or other forces, whoever takes Han Fu's Jizhou Mu is an enemy of Qingzhou!"

"Therefore, there is no such possibility as 'whether Liu Bei will offend Gongsun Zan for the sake of Han Fu', but once Gongsun Zan chooses to go south, it is tantamount to starting a war with Liu Bei!"

"Since Gongsun Zan has chosen to betray his friendship, how can Liu Bei just sit idly by?"

Guo Jia subverted the judgment of conventional thinking, and surprised Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping and others.

But the scholars present are all outstanding people in the world, and they are the best among scholars in terms of strategy.

Although Guo Jia's judgment subverted the conventional thinking, he pointed out Liu Bei's bottom line: whoever moves Jizhou is the enemy!
Guo Tu pondered for a moment: "According to Feng Xiao's opinion, if Prefect Yuan wants to succeed, he must try to persuade Han Fu to surrender before Liu Bei intervenes in Jizhou affairs."

Guo Jia shook his head: "Brother Gongze, do you know that when Governor Yuan planned Jizhou last time, Cao Cao invited Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang County, and Yuan Xu, the governor of Jiyin County, to help out?"

Guo Tu nodded: "I know about this. Cao Cao's move is to help Yuan Shao and make some contributions by the way."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Brother Gongze only knows one thing but not the other. The reason why Cao Cao invited Zhang Miao and others is because he got the information about Liu Bei's involvement in Jizhou affairs earlier than Governor Yuan."

"That's why Cao Cao wants Zhang Miao and others to put pressure on Han Fu, so that Han Fu can take the initiative to give up Jizhou before Liu Bei and Liu Yu arrive."

"How can this method of failure succeed again?"

Guo Tu frowned suddenly: "Then according to Feng Xiao's opinion, how should Yuan Taishou break the situation?"

"Heh~" Guo Jia didn't answer, but returned to his seat, shaking the wine jar: "Brother Gongze, is there any wine left?"

Guo Tu clenched his fists subconsciously, resisting the urge to beat Guo Jia up, and then he brought up the wine jar beside him and came to Guo Jia's seat: "I'll give you my wine, is it okay?"

Guo Jia's eyes became enthusiastic in an instant, and he picked up the wine jar and sniffed it vigorously: "Good wine still makes people intoxicated!"

After a pause, Guo Jia glanced at Guo Tu's clenched fist, and said, "Soldiers, it's tricky! What's real is empty, and empty is real."

"If Gongsun Zan were to go south directly, Liu Bei, who heard the news, would definitely stop him in person."

"Therefore, to use this strategy, we must either conceal the purpose of Gongsun Zan's going south and surprise the army to attack Yecheng, or let the prefect Yuan pretend to look at other places, so that Liu Bei can't take care of both."

"But Yuan Taishou didn't intend to let Gongsun Zan go south with this strategy, but wanted to use Gongsun Zan's military power to frighten Han Fu. Therefore, it is very difficult to conceal Gongsun Zan's purpose of going south and let his surprise troops raid Yecheng."

"In this way, Yuan Taishou can only pretend to focus on other places."

Xun Chen realized: "Feng Xiao is referring to Yanzhou?"

Guo Tu was still a little confused.

But Xun Chen has already begun to expound his point of view: "Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, first killed Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, and then Zheng Sui, the chancellor of the city. His ambition is already obvious."

"At this time, if Prefect Yuan chooses to form an alliance with Liu Dai, and then grants Liu Dai the right to appoint and dismiss the counties and states in Yanzhou in the name of the lord, let Yuan Yi of Shanyang County and Yuan Xu of Jiyin County also support Liu Dai."

"With confidence, Liu Dai will not tolerate Ying Shao, Zhang Miao and others supporting themselves."

"In this way, Liu Bei's focus can be shifted to Yanzhou."

"When the conflict in Yanzhou becomes tense, let Gongsun Zan go south and seize Han Fu's power with lightning speed. Liu Bei has no time to clone himself, how can he take care of Han Fu?"

Guo Jia clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Brother You Ruo, although you guessed it right, I won't share the wine with you!"

After listening to Xun Chen's analysis, Guo Tu finally understood what Guo Jia was talking about.

Liu Bei is now transporting money and food from Yanzhou, Jizhou and Xuzhou, so he must do his best to maintain the stability of these three states.

However, Liu Bei's strength is always limited, and it is impossible to deal with the war conflicts in Yanzhou and Jizhou at the same time.

If he tried to obstruct Gongsun Zan again at this time, then Liu Bei would be making enemies with Liu Dai, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan at the same time.

"Not only did Feng Xiao think of it, but even You Ruo thought of it." Guo Tu clenched his fists even tighter.

Among these Yingchuan scholars, Guo Tu has always considered himself the most intelligent one.

Going to join Yuan Shao together in the future, Guo Tu also regards himself as the leader of Yingchuan scholars!
But now, both Guo Jia and Xun Chen have shown superior intelligence than Guo Tu, which makes Guo Tu feel jealous.

"Do you think there are any omissions in Fengxiao and Youruo's analysis?" Guo Tu hid his thoughts very well, and scanned the crowd: "I will later discuss the omissions and Summarize the solutions and send them to Xu Ziyuan to share the credit together."

Guo Jia smiled secretly, he had already seen through Guo Tu's intentions, and shook the wine jar: "Brother Gongze, you don't need to report my name to Prefect Yuan."

"You gave me fine wine, then what I just said will naturally belong to you!"

"Even if someone asks, I won't admit it."

Xun Chen also said with a smile: "I'm just based on what Feng Xiao said, and I have expressed some humble opinions, so naturally I can't share the credit."

The two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi waved their hands one after another, unwilling to share the credit with Guo Tu.

Guo Tu was overjoyed and said with a big smile, "Since that's the case, let me send the letter to Xu Ziyuan alone. If I am valued by Governor Yuan, I will definitely not forget to recommend you."

After the banquet, Xun Chen and Guo Jia walked hand in hand.

"Feng Xiao, are you really willing to give the credit to Gongze?" Xun Chen didn't quite understand: "With your talent, if you have this merit, Yuan Taishou will definitely use it again."

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled: "Brother Youruo, don't pretend. If I really use this trick to claim credit from Governor Yuan, I will not only offend Brother Gongze, but also Xu Ziyuan, and maybe even Feng Yuantu."

"On the contrary, I just want brother Gongze to have a jar of good wine. Not only will I not offend anyone, but I can continue to drink at Brother Gongze's house in the future."

"What's more, I haven't thought about joining Yuan Shao yet!"

Xun Chen asked suspiciously: "Feng Xiao, don't you even look down on Yuan Taishou? He is a nobleman of the fourth generation, a famous family, and has a good reputation. If Yuan Taishou can win Jizhou, he will definitely dominate Hebei in the future."

"Who among the mediocre people in this world can compare with Yuan Taishou?"

Guo Jia smiled but did not answer, and changed the subject, "When will Brother Wen Ruo come to Jizhou?"

Xun Chen said without hesitation: "Brother wants to sell the land in Yingchuan, and also wants to move the villagers to Jizhou, so it will be a little later."

Guo Jia sighed softly: "Brother Wen Ruo is too kind, those villagers are shallow-sighted people, how could they come to Jizhou with Brother Wen Ruo?"

"It's a pity, brother Wen Ruo is not here, so I'm always drinking and drinking at brother Gongze's house, but it's very boring."

Xun Chen paused, then asked again: "Feng Xiao, do you think Liu Bei, governor of Qingzhou, is worth serving?"

"I don't know about the others, but I definitely won't go to Qingzhou." Guo Jia patted the cork off the wine gourd and said comfortably.

Xun Chen chuckled: "Could it be that Feng Xiao thinks that Liu Bei is not as good as Yuan Taishou?"

Guo Jia glanced at Xun Chen: "Brother Youruo, don't try it. Don't you know that alcohol is banned in Qingzhou? Only white water is used to entertain the sages. Although Qingzhou is now in decline, prohibiting alcohol can avoid wasting food."

"But I can't stand it!"

"The person I want to work for must be able to make me drink alcohol!"

Seeing that Guo Jia was fooling around with this question again, Xun Chen knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find Guo Jia's inner thoughts, so he stopped asking.

the other side.

Guo Tu's secret letter was also rushed to Xu You's hands.

Xu You was overjoyed to see the letter, and hurriedly came to find Yuan Shao, stated the loopholes in Fengji's plan, and then handed Guo Tu's secret letter to Yuan Shao.

"At the beginning, we had to send people to stop Fengji immediately. Don't let Gongsun Zan go south early, otherwise something bad will happen!" Xu You pretended to be eager.

To be honest, Feng Ji would not be so stupid as to rush Gongsun Zan to go south when he was lobbying Gongsun Zan. He must discuss the details carefully.

But Xu You deliberately used this eager tone to get Yuan Shao to recall Feng Ji.

Xu You feels at ease when he can feel disgusted.

Yuan Shao looked carefully at the contents of the secret letter, and saw that Xu You was burning with anxiety, so he panicked at the moment: "With Liu Bei's temperament, if Gongsun Zan suddenly goes south, Liu Bei will definitely dissuade him."

"Yuan Tu misunderstood me!"

"Such a good plan must not fail again due to Feng Yuantu's negligence."

"Ziyuan, you immediately send someone to catch up with Fengji, let him return to Xindu quickly, and then make a decision!"

Xu You got the order, and immediately sent his cronies to chase after Fengji, and then returned to Yuan Shao's side.

Seeing Xu You's return, Yuan Shao quickly asked, "Have you sent a messenger?"

Xu You nodded: "Don't worry about it at first, it has already been dispatched!"

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the secret channel: "This Yingchuan Guo Gongze is really a genius, he can guess Liu Bei's temper so accurately!"

"If it wasn't for Gongsun Guo, I still believe that Liu Bei would not offend Gongsun Zan for Han Fu."

"Such a genius, Han Fu can't use it, it's really mediocre and stupid."

"Ziyuan, you write back for me, and when you get Jizhou in the future, you must treat him as your guest of honor!"

Xu You nodded in agreement, feeling quite disdainful towards Feng Ji in his heart.

Hmph, I just gained power by accident and wanted to be rampant in front of me, Xu Ziyuan.

Without you, can't I recommend another talented person?

After a pause, Yuan Shao asked again: "Ziyuan, Guo Gong suggested in the letter that I should make an alliance and marry Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou."

"But if I support Liu Dai, Meng De will probably blame me."

Xu You chuckled: "At first, whether you supported Liu Dai or not, Zhang Miao would blame you. It's better to use Liu Dai's hand to get rid of Zhang Miao first, and then send troops to avenge Zhang Miao after you get to Jizhou."

"In this way, Benchu ​​will be able to take advantage of the situation and take charge of Yanzhou. With Yanzhou and Jizhou in hand, he can win the world!"

Yuan Shao carefully considered, after all, marriage with Liu Dai cannot be sloppy.

a long time.

Yuan Shaoning said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get tiger cubs. I intend to send my wife and children to Yanzhou to show my sincerity in forming an alliance and marriage. What does Ziyuan think?"

Xu You clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Benchu's plan is very clever! It seems that he has pledged his wife and children to Liu Dai, but with Benchu's reputation and the presence of Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu, Liu Dai dare not touch Benchu's wife and children at all. cent."

"Benchu ​​is so sincere, Liu Dai must also believe in the alliance and marriage with Benchu."

"Using Liu Dai's hand, we can wipe out the forces in Yanzhou who are not convinced by the original, and at the same time, it can also deter Liu Bei in Qingzhou and plant an opportunity for Gongsun Zan to go south. It kills two birds with one stone."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "Liu Bei thinks that Han Fu and I will make an agreement to divide Jizhou and prevent me from taking control of Jizhou. It's ridiculous! The resourceful people under my command are not inferior to Liu Bei."

Xu You is also proud.

This world's counselor, who can make trouble under the nose of me, Xu Ziyuan?
the other side.

Feng Ji, who was caught up, was angry again.

"go back?"

"You mean you want me to go back?"

Feng Ji stared at the messenger sent by Xu You, and even pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

As long as the messenger says something wrong, Feng Ji is ready to draw his sword and kill people.

The messenger trembled a little: "The villain dare not lie, here is Yuan Taishou's seal."

Feng Ji didn't even look at the seal, and he already guessed the reason in his heart.

"Xu Ziyuan! You flattering villain, you actually framed me in front of Duke Ming while I was away!"

"I'm at odds with you!"

Feng Ji was cursing, but he didn't dare to disobey Yuan Shao's order, so he could only give the messenger a bitter look, and rode back to Xindu.

Changan.

Since Dong Zhuoqiang moved the emperor's officials to Chang'an, he has become increasingly arbitrary.

On February [-]th, Dong Zhuo ordered the young emperor Liu Xie to send Guang Luxun to Xuan Chijie to Luoyang to enshrine himself as a grand master, with a higher status than the princes and kings with the Liu surname.

Dong Zhuo even compared himself to Jiang Taigong, and asked Liu Xie to call himself Shangfu.

Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Min, was appointed General Zuo and granted the title of Marquis; his nephew Dong Huang served as a servant and lieutenant of the Chinese Army, and was in charge of the military;

The public officials dared not speak out against Dong Zhuo, and those who dared to speak out had already been executed by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo has never been polite to those who dare to disobey him.

Even Yuan Kai's father and son's family were killed by Dong Zhuo.

Except for the little emperor Liu Xie, there is no one Dong Zhuo dare not kill!
When Dong Zhuo was domineering in Chang'an, an urgent report from Luoyang instantly made Dong Zhuo fly into a rage.

"The dog thief Zhu Jun, it's in vain that the Grand Master trusted you and asked you to guard Luoyang, but you dare to turn against him?"

"Good, good, very good!"

"Even that old man Lu Zhi dares to be king. Is it really easy to bully me when I am a Grand Master?"

"Quickly pass on the censor Zhongcheng Huangfusong, get over here and see the old man!"

The evil spirit accumulated over the years made Dong Zhuo's every word chill the hearts of the people around him.

"Grand Master, why get angry!" On the side of the curtain, a Confucian scholar with a temperament like a poisonous snake said calmly.
