Chapter 46: Discussing Heroes over Drinking Wine

When Liu Xie saw Guo Jia's expression, he knew that this guy must be secretly planning something in his mind, so he asked directly.

"Feng Xiao, do you have any ideas?"

Guo Jia collected his thoughts, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think that although Yuan Shu's claim to the throne is extremely treasonous, it is beneficial to you."

"Yuan Shu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family. Doing something like this would completely destroy the reputation that the Yuan family has accumulated over hundreds of years. And Yuan Shao, as Yuan Shu's brother, would inevitably be greatly affected."

"At least the family reputation of three generations of officials that he relied on in the past will not play much of a role in the future."

Yuan Shao's halo came from his identity as a member of the Yuan family.

The second is from his achievements in defeating Dong Zhuo and eradicating the traitor;
The third is his personal charm.

It is these factors that together created Yuan Benchu, a "role model for the world."

However, once Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Yuan Shao's halo would be largely shattered, because he was not only a member of the Yuan family, but also Yuan Shu's half-brother. This would become an indelible stain on him.

"I don't think this has such a big impact on him."

Liu Xie stroked his smooth, unshaven chin and said that he felt Guo Jia was exaggerating. "After all, it wasn't Yuan Shao who proclaimed himself emperor. When he wakes up, he will definitely draw a clear line with Yuan Shu right away."

"Moreover, it's only his reputation that has been damaged, and his strength has not been weakened. Will his advisers and generals abandon him because of this?"

Reputation does not equal strength, people will be strong as long as they are strong.

However, Guo Jia just smiled, put his hands together, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is right. The damage to his reputation has indeed not weakened Yuan Shao's strength. Those counselors and generals will not abandon him."

"But, he's not 'perfect' anymore."

"Originally, as a role model for the world, no one would think that he had any rebellious intentions; but now, that is no longer the case. At least the soldiers in the army will begin to doubt him."

Under what banner was Yuan Shao recruiting soldiers?
Support the Han Dynasty and fight against rebels.

Now his brother has proclaimed himself emperor, what will the soldiers think?
Could it be that you two brothers are birds of a feather?
For most soldiers, joining the army is either for food or to earn military merits, get promoted, and make money. They have never thought about rebellion.

"I see."

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Liu Xie suddenly understood.

Originally, in the eyes of most soldiers, Yuan Shao was an absolutely loyal minister, so listening to Yuan Shao was equivalent to listening to the emperor.

This was further confirmed by the appearance of this fake emperor.

But when the incident with Yuan Shu happened, Yuan Shao's image collapsed at once, and his words were not as convincing as before.

Therefore, if Liu Xie now goes to the army and raises his arms, saying that Yuan Shao is also a traitor, it is estimated that many soldiers will believe him and be willing to follow him.

"Smart people are smart people after all, they see things in depth."

All I can say is that a military advisor is a military advisor, and his vision is more profound than that of an ordinary time traveler from later generations like him.

While Liu Xie and Guo Jia were chatting, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. It was now March, early spring, and the peach blossoms in the back garden were blooming, which was quite beautiful.

So Liu Xie called a maid and asked her to prepare some wine to ward off the cold, and then he and Guo Jia went to the pavilion to appreciate the flowers and chat.

“It’s already March.”

Looking at the peach blossoms blooming in the rain, Liu Xie said with some emotion.

Before he knew it, he had been in this world for five months.

Although I have completely adapted to everything here, I still occasionally miss the life before the time travel and my friends and family in the future.

But I probably won't have the chance to go back in this lifetime. Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt sad and drank a glass of wine silently.

"Is there anything on your mind, Your Majesty?"

Guo Jia saw that Liu Xie was in a bad mood, so he asked.

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my hometown and old friends. Come, come, drink with me."

As he spoke, he poured wine for Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia thought for a while, he suddenly put down his wine glass and asked Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, do you know the changes of the dragon?"

"Ok?"

Liu Xie paused in pouring the wine, looked up at Guo Jia with a puzzled look on his face.

What the hell is this dragon?
Guo Jia raised his cup and looked up at the sky, pointing to the rolling and low-hanging dark clouds in the sky, and said leisurely: "A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; when it is big, it can create clouds and mist, and when it is small, it can hide its shape; when it rises, it soars in the universe, and when it hides, it lurks in the waves."

"Now that spring has arrived, the dragon has taken advantage of the changing times, just like a man who has achieved his ambition and traveled across the world."

Guo Jia's tone gradually became excited, and then he looked at Liu Xie and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is like a real dragon. Now he is hiding here, waiting for the wind to rise and the clouds to rise, and then he will fly into the sky!"

"When the dragon roars across the nine states, everyone in the world will be submissive!"

After listening to Guo Jia's passionate "chicken soup", Liu Xie was stunned for a while before he reacted.

Guo Jia actually regarded his melancholy caused by homesickness as a sign of loss of fighting spirit, so he said these words specifically to encourage him.

Is this the level of speech of a cultured person?

But why do these words sound familiar?
Liu Xie was puzzled in his heart, but he still cooperated with a look of gratitude on his face, saying: "Feng Xiao is right! I shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the Han Dynasty, how can I show the attitude of a little girl? I should cheer up!"

"As long as your majesty understands."

Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much about the future. The world seems to be divided among many heroes, but in fact, they are just a bunch of ordinary people."

"Huainan Yuan Shu, although he has sufficient military supplies, a vast territory and many generals, is a man who likes to show off and gain success. Now he is even taking the risk of claiming to be an emperor. He is nothing more than a dead body in a grave."

"Yuan Shao of Jizhou, although he is descended from a family of three high officials, and has many old officials in his family, he now occupies a strategic position in Jizhou, and has many capable subordinates; but he is fierce in appearance but weak in courage, and is indecisive in making plans; he is cautious about his life when he is engaged in great undertakings, and forgets his life when he sees small gains, so he is not a big threat, and there is no need to worry about him."

"In addition, Liu Biao of Yizhou is just a figurehead; Sun Ce of Jiangdong is using his father's name; Liu Zhang is a member of the royal family, but he is just a dog guarding the house. When he sees your majesty, he will certainly submit to you."

"As for Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, Han Sui and others, they are just mediocre people, not worth mentioning."

Guo Jia commented on the various princes who now ruled the world one by one, but his words were full of disdain and contempt, and he did not take these people seriously at all.

So arrogant!

After commenting on the above people, Guo Jia paused for a moment, then said to Liu Xie in a serious tone: "A hero has great ambitions in his heart, good plans in his mind, and the ambition to contain the universe and swallow up the world."

"I have observed that there are three people in the world besides Your Majesty who are included in this list."

"The first is Liu Bei, the second is Cao Cao, and the third is Sun Ce. Your Majesty needs to be wary of these three. None of the remaining princes can pose a threat to you!"

Guo Jia swore solemnly, his tone very firm.

Liu Xie, who was sitting opposite him, was completely confused.

What is going on here?!

In addition, Liu Bei has been defeated by Lu Bu and has to ask Yuan Shao for troops. Why does Guo Jia attach so much importance to him?
