The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 720
Seeing that the surname Guo has been in Nanzhong for several months, but he has been doing nothing for free, reading and reciting poems every day, or drinking and picking up girls, which made Liu Zhang's generals almost want to turn against him. Liu Qian, Zhang Ren and others reported that the surname Guo had been beaten long ago and his mother didn't even know him.

But Liu Zhang's city is not deep after all. After waiting for a long time, there was no letter from him. Finally, the former master of Xichuan and now Nanman Keqing couldn't wait any longer. He personally went to the house where Guo Si lived and asked enlighten me.

It is said to be a house, but it is just a hut. The barbarians living in Nanzhong either live in such a hut or live in a cave. If they want to live in a normal house, there is absolutely no such thing.

As soon as he entered Guo Si's thatched hut, he was greeted by a smell of spirits, the taste of which was really indistinct, and almost smoked Liu Zhang.

Looking up, I saw Guo Sili shaking in the hut crookedly, holding a wine bag in his hand, singing a song inarticulately, but his head was still not clear, and the song he sang was donkey lips It's not right, it doesn't sound like it's in tune at all.

"One touch of Mei Niang's cloud hairpin, two touches of Yinger's beautiful face, three touches of Xiao Rou's white crisp shoulders..."

Liu Zhang sighed secretly, and shook his head helplessly. Can a bear-like person really help him out of the current predicament?I don't know how Yuan Shang recommended the person, but he has a bad character with the rumored himself.

Wanting to think about it, but still need to work hard, Liu Zhang walked over and bowed his hands, saying: "Mr. Guo, are you happy?"

Guo Si turned his head in a daze. It seemed that he had just noticed Liu Zhang entered the room. He laughed and said, "Who is Guo?

Liu Zhang sighed and said, "Mr. is very happy, but I don't know how worried Zhang is."

Guo Si chuckled and said: "Although the land in Nanzhong is barren, it is better to have food and drink, and not to worry about the affairs of the world. It is a good place to escape from the world. Liu Yizhou lives here peacefully. What more can I ask for?"

When Liu Zhang heard the words, he felt that Guo Si's words were perfunctory, and his face was quite displeased.

Guo Si found a place to sit down, had a good laugh, and said to Liu Zhang: "Looking at Liu Yizhou's expression, it seems that Guo's words are quite mean, but if you think about it carefully, even though you were expelled here by Liu Bei , but why not give you another bright road?"

Liu Zhang blinked, as if he didn't understand what Guo Si meant.

Guo Si continued: "Today's world is in troubled times, and the princes from all over the world dominate one side. On the surface, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, each of them is a knife and ax. If you are not careful, you will die. Just think about Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan after the Yellow Turban, which one has achieved good results? Even Cao...Cao Cao’s heroic talent was also defeated. Just ask Liu Yizhou, even if your Yizhou foundation was not captured by Liu Bei at the beginning , can you stay there for a long time? Even if we fight back to Yizhou and regain the foundation, do you think you can continue to be an ally with Yuan Shang by then? Haven’t you seen what happened to Tuoba Liwei?”

Liu Zhang opened his mouth when he heard the words, and was quite speechless.

Guo Si smiled slightly and continued: "Liu Yizhou, I can understand that you want to take back Xichuan's foundation, but have you ever thought that if you really take back Xichuan, you will put yourself in a dangerous place instead? , can you fight against the Yuan family who owns the whole world? What’s more, Liu Bei’s all-powerful army marches eastward, which is dangerous and unpredictable.

Hearing this, Liu Zhang couldn't help sweating profusely. He really wanted to go back to Chengdu in his dreams, but he never thought about how he should go in the future even if he returned to Chengdu, and why Liu Zhang could follow him. Yuan Shang resisted, and Yuan Shang ruled the world the next day, and he was a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and died without a place to bury him, just like Tuoba Liwei.

After Guo Si's suggestion, Liu Zhang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Liu Zhang is stupid, please teach me how to live and live?"

Guo Si smiled slightly, and said: "I have a method, which can make Liu Yizhou become an important town in the future, have a foundation in his hands, and won't be jealous of Yuan Shang after the unification of the world. I wonder if Liu Yizhou wants to hear it?"

At this moment, Liu Zhang had no intention of neglecting Guo Si at all. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Please teach me a good strategy, sir."

Guo Si took a sip of wine from the jar and said, "Actually, Liu Yizhou, don't you think that the world is so big that the real place to start a career is under your feet?"

Liu Zhang was taken aback when he heard the words: "Under your feet?"

Guo Si said slowly: "There are a lot of barbarians in South China. They don't belong to the king. They rebel frequently and stand on their own borders. Although it is not enough to shake the world, it is also a disease of scabies. It is a headache. There are a lot of important things, the general doesn't have much energy to pay attention to this land of southern barbarians, he needs someone to manage this place where the barbarians live in the southwestern border for the general, Liu Yizhou is a Han, and he is also a member of the Han family. If you can take charge of the southern barbarians for the general, manage the various tribes, and guard the southwest land for the general, so that all the barbarians can be kingized and respected in the Central Plains, then the general will definitely treat Liu Yizhou favorably, and the south is remote and the various tribes are numerous. Leading one side will not pose a threat to the world, this is a place to settle down, can't Liu Yizhou see it?"

Liu Zhang trembled when he heard the words, and said, "You mean, let me put my foundation in Nanzhong?"

Guo Si nodded and said: "Although the world is big, if Liu Yizhou wants to dominate one side without being suspected by the general, there is only one place in Nanzhong."

Liu Zhang hesitated when he heard the words: "However, the land of Nanzhong is too barren..."

"Whether he is desolate or not, it's better than being on the cusp of the storm, right? Besides, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. Even if the south is narrow, but Liu Yizhou is here, at least he is the leader of one party. The southwest is called lonely. It can be regarded as majestic, so why not do it? Are you willing to go to Yecheng alone after submitting to the Yuan family, looking up at people's noses, watching people's faces every day, worrying about your life, with only a few horses and a car, Liu Yizhou, Can't you see the truth of this?"

Hearing the words, Liu Zhang was enlightened and finally opened his eyes. Yes, no matter how isolated and remote Nanzhong is, if he can really become the master of Nanzhong, he will be majestic and awe-inspiring, not to mention the land of Nanman. It's a mess, and a bunch of barbarians are thorns. If there is a Han man to take care of Yuan Shang, I'm afraid he will be happy. After all, this is not a good job that everyone is willing to do.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Guo's words made Zhang's thoughts suddenly clear, as if seeing the sun through the clouds. It's really a gift from God to me... It's just that there are many ethnic groups in Nanzhong, and I live here as a guest, and I depend on others for everything. , there are only more than ten thousand soldiers and horses under him, just like that, how can we integrate Nanzhong?"

Guo Si smiled when he heard the words, and said, "As long as Liu Yizhou makes up his mind, everything will be on Guo."

Liu Zhang nodded emphatically: "Please try to explain the details, sir?"

Guo Si rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, then said: "First of all, Liu Yizhou, you have to send people to spread rumors in Nanzhong, saying that Liu Bei raised his troops to march eastward, and the victory or defeat is unknown. Shuzhong is empty, and most of the Nanren are ambitious If Liu Bei is in Japan, he dare not rebel for fear of his power, but if Liu Bei is not there, rumors will spread everywhere, and there will be some action."

Liu Zhang nodded his head half-understood when he heard the words, and suddenly said, "But even so, what does it have to do with my unification of Nanzhong?"

Guo Si smiled and said: "When the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman benefits. Only when Nanzhong and Chuanzhong fight, can you have the opportunity to show your ambition."

*********************
On the Nanzhong side, Liu Zhang and Guo Si conspired to spread rumors and incite the rebellion of the various ethnic groups in Nanzhong, and the war between Shu and Wu suddenly changed.

Zhuge Liang completely suppressed Zhou Yu and slowly nibbled away, making it difficult for Zhou Yu to attack. However, at this time, from the Jiaozhou side, Lu Xun and Cao Pi, who lived in Jiaozhou, joined forces with soldiers and horses, and went northward to Guiyang and Wuling. On this side, the Shu generals Zhang Yi and Gao Xiang retreated steadily, Cao Xiu tried to kill Gao Xiang, and the Shu army's southern front in Jingzhou collapsed.
Even though Zhuge Liang was very resourceful, he would never have thought that Zhou Yu would make such a move. It wasn't that Jiaozhou and Cao Pi's dark chess was so clever, but that the young man named Lu Xun who was in charge of leading them was indeed a master soldier. In Zhuge Liang's opinion, his ability is really not inferior to Zhou Yu's.

Although there are many troops and generals in the Kingdom of Shu, it is difficult to be the supreme military commander. Zhuge Liang was going to deal with Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and Fazheng was going to deal with Lu Meng. Now, a dark horse like Lu Xun suddenly came out and swept Jingnan. The Shu army was quite invincible, and Kong Ming couldn't help but have a big headache. He had no choice but to send General Xiang Chong to resist Lu Xun temporarily.

Although Xiang Chong is quite strong, facing Lu Xun, he still can't bear it. The two confronted each other in Quhu Lane, and they were both resourceful characters. They only killed the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon were dark, but Xiang Chong failed. Lu Xun made a move, made a wrong move, and immediately lost the whole game. Those who were killed threw away their helmets and armor, and returned to the west of the Han River, allowing Lu Xun to go straight into the middle.

The appearance of Lu Xun broke the situation where the Shu army had been suppressing Soochow, but it also made the situation less clear and less clear. Both sides were extremely exhausted after fighting for several months, and lost troops and generals. Not to mention, it was only their spirit It has been exhausted, showing a stalemate gaffe.

However, at the time when the two sides of Shu and Wu were attacking and defending, Yuan Shang, who had been dispatching troops to the north and was eyeing him, finally made a move!

Guanzhong, Huainan, Xiangyang, Xiliang and other front-line positions are waiting for the battle, and the battles of Yuan Shang in the north and Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Pi in the south are imminent.
