The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 130 Attacking Righteousness with Evil
Kuai Yue, who was in a hurry to get Guo Jia to retreat, bumped into Zhou Tai, and it was futile to prepare all the excuses. If he couldn't see Guo Jia, he couldn't even figure out the real intention of the other party.

Zhou Tai was not in a hurry, with a smile on his face, he picked up the military book and started to read it, taking a sip of tea from time to time.

There were guests present, and Zhou Tai didn't mind if the other party thought he was disrespectful. This went up and down. Last year, the Jingzhou Army outside the county, from the coach to the civil servants and military generals, didn't look at people seriously. Now, it's their turn to try to look up to others. taste.

Depressed, Kuai Yue had a bad job and wanted to persuade Guo Jia, but now he didn't even know where Guo Jia was. However, his anxious state of mind gradually turned into disappointment, but he calmed down, and his worried expression suddenly turned suspicious.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now Kuai Yue remembered the scene when he came from outside to observe the movement of soldiers and horses along the way.

The camp encircled by the fence was vast, and there were quite a lot of tents tied up, but there didn't seem to be many soldiers in the barracks. After a rough calculation, it was at most [-] to [-].

The troops led by Zhou Tai seemed to be bluffing and suspicious.

However, Kuai Yue didn't dare to jump to conclusions before the other six groups of soldiers and horses found out the facts. What if one or two of them really had tens of thousands of troops?Combining fiction and reality to deceive the enemy can also be unexpected.

If he doesn't see Guo Jia, Kuai Yue will return in vain, so he intends to take a slanted sword and make a final effort.

Hahahaha
Kuai Yue, who had been dignified since he entered the tent, suddenly laughed out loud, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Zhou Tai was surprised by his laughter, and secretly muttered in his heart: Did he see it through?
"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Tai still raised his gentle face without any confusion.

Kuai Yue stopped laughing, glanced at Zhou Tai and did not look at him, looked aside and said calmly: "It seems that your master is still in Chengdu."

This is a gamble, and Kuai Yue has nothing to do. If Guo Jia is really among the Seventh Route Army and he doesn't want to see him, it means that Guo Jia is determined to attack Jingzhou. Even if he sees Guo Jia, it may be difficult Convincing him to retreat, and since Zhou Tai's army was suspicious, Kuai Yue could only hold a faint hope that the other six troops were also suspicious, and Guo Jia didn't want to attack Jingzhou at all.

The policies that Guo Jia promoted in Yizhou, such as imperial examinations, farming, road construction, building schools, recruiting capable people and strangers, etc., cannot be fully implemented and improved overnight. Guo Jia was defeated after attacking Yizhou last year In Jingzhou, the soldiers are exhausted and the people are calm. What we need to do now is to recuperate and recuperate. Even for a few years, we will not take the initiative to start a war. Kuai Yue feels that even he can see this situation. clear?
Even though Yuan Shu and Liu Biao went to war in Jingzhou rashly, can Guo Jia really reap the benefits?The hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant. When the time comes, don't take Jingzhou down, but the backyard is on fire again.

With this inference, Kuai Yue believed that Guo Jia's attitude towards Jingzhou was accurate.

In fact, what Kuai Yue expected was not bad. Guo Jia did not plan to expand outwards within a few years.

But the question is, does Kuai Yue really dare to take risks?If he missed it, Liu Biao might lose his family.

"Huh? Now that you have guessed it, please go to Chengdu to meet my lord."

After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he turned his attention to the art of war again.

Although such a non-salty reply made Kuai Yue feel hopeful, at least Zhou Tai affirmed that Guo Jia was in Chengdu, but it was still unclear whether Guo Jia would fight or make peace with Jingzhou.

Can't help but look at the calm and composed Zhou Tai. He used to only think that he is a mighty general, but he didn't expect that the city is not shallow.

"May I ask General Zhou, who is the commander of the Seventh Route Army?" Kuai Yue didn't have time to go to Chengdu to lobby Guo Jia, but he made false claims with the commander of the commanding army and procrastinated for a few days, at least he could buy some preparation time for Jingzhou.

Zhou Tai sighed lightly, flipped through the bamboo slips, continued to read, and said, "I'm the commander in chief, Mr. Yidu, let's be honest, my seven-way army is just a bluff to scare Liu Shijun, you don't have to let go." In my heart, go back to Xiangyang to help Liu Shijun deal with Yuan Shu."

As soon as these words came out, Kuai Yue's heart hung up again, with a hesitant look on his face.

Did you guess wrong?Guo Jia really wants to attack Jingzhou?
Zhou Tai's confession didn't let Kuai Yue off his guard, but on the contrary became vigilant, because he didn't believe that the opponent was posing like a seven-way army with great fanfare. If Zhou Tai was really the coach, would he tell him the truth so easily?

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Kuai Yue's expression changes without any trace, and Zhou Tai secretly smiled in his heart: the method taught by the lord is really effective, you must tell the truth with your friends, and you can't tell all the lies with your enemies. There are fakes, which ones are true and which ones are fake, let the other party guess for themselves.

Since Zhou Tai said that he is the coach, Kuai Yue could only suppress his doubts and continue talking along the topic.

"General Zhou, as the commander-in-chief of the army, don't you think there is nothing wrong with your master ordering you to attack Jingzhou?"

Zhou Tai turned his eyes to Kuai Yue, and asked back: "I want to say that Liu Shijun is a clan member of the Han family, and where benevolence and righteousness lie, I will attack Liu Shijun, and people in the world will despise him?"

Once again, Qi and blood surged up, as if there was an urge to vomit blood, what Kuai Yue wanted to say was first said by Zhou Tai, he forced a smile, and said: "Since General Zhou understands the righteousness, why didn't he lead the army back?"

Zhou Tai looked distressed, and said: "But when Yuan Taishou sent someone to discuss with my lord, he said that Mr. Liu is the arm of Dong Zhuo, a national traitor, and that his attack on Mr. Liu was to cut off the wings of the traitor for the Han Dynasty."

"Yuan Shu! Spit out blood!"

An exasperated Kuai Yue blurted out, and his furious appearance shocked Zhou Tai, a military general.

Noticing his gaffe, Kuai Yue bowed his hands to Zhou Tai to calm down the anger in his heart.

I didn't expect Yuan Shu to distort the facts, it's just nonsense.

Yuan Shu's defeat of Liu Biao was contrary to people's hearts and morality. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see, but Guo Jiahui can't see it?Sure, but Guo Jia doesn't care about people's hearts and morals?Kuai Yue was not sure. After all, what Guo Jia did in Yizhou was already in the same situation as the world's nobles and wealthy families.

"General Zhou, you are a hero of today, and you can see right and wrong better than anyone else. If your lord helps Yuan Shu, it is the same as helping the evildoers. Even if you go to Jingzhou, you will not be supported by the people of Jingzhou. I implore the general to stop fighting and stop fighting." give up."

Zhou Tai couldn't help but be moved by Kuai Yue's heartfelt words. He put the military book on the table, stood up and paced with hands behind his back, with a hesitant expression.

When Kuai Yue wanted to persuade him a few more words, Zhou Taiyi raised his hand to signal Kuai Yue to shut up, and said: "The words of different degrees are also what I worry about. In fact, I don't agree with sending troops to attack Jingzhou, but I do The Lord believes that attacking Jingzhou at this moment is a good opportunity from God, and I cannot let it go by. But this is a small profit in front of me, but it loses the hearts of the world, and I have nothing to do."

He didn't have time to figure out whether Zhou Tai was showing his true feelings or just pretending. Kuai Yue saw that Zhou Tai was about to withdraw from his mouth, so he immediately added another fire.

"Knowing without speaking, being unfaithful, and being unfaithful as a minister, you should die. General Zhou, if you are loyal and sincere to your lord, then you must persuade your lord at this time. My lord will lead Jingzhou Since the time of Mu, he has spread benevolence and righteousness, and the people under his rule have wholeheartedly attached themselves. Jingzhou is in a state of chaos. Yuan Shu is just the prefect of a county in Jingzhou, but he sent troops to attack the prefecture. The way. If your lord helps Yuan Shu at this time, wouldn’t it be a help for a tiger? Not only will you make fun of him, but you will also be cast aside by the people of the world. Please return to Chengdu to meet your lord, explain the pros and cons, and don’t go to war rashly.”

After some impassioned persuasion, Zhou Tai stared blankly at Kuai Yue, then closed his eyes showing a struggling expression.

Kuai Yue, who clasped his hands and didn't let go, doesn't care whether Zhou Tai can persuade Guo Jia or not, as long as Zhou Tai doesn't lead his army to attack Jingzhou for the time being and gives Jingzhou time to deal with Yuan Shu first, even if Zhou Tai doesn't persuade Guo Jia when he goes back, Jingzhou won't be in the same place. Time is confronted with the enemy from the front and back.

But Zhou Tai thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. Kuai Yue's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't you understand, General? Attacking Jingzhou at this time will do a lot of harm to your lord."

Zhou Tai, who knelt down again, took a sip from his teacup, his expression returned to calm, and said, "It's not that I don't know the depth and importance, but that the supply of grain and grass in Yizhou is tight, and my army consumes a lot every day. One time loss is my fault. I am not innocent, but guilty. At this time, the situation is so close that I have to launch it. You should also know that my master will plan carefully, and will not see the army returning without merit. A waste of food and grass."

He thought that Zhou Tai would go his own way to attack Jingzhou, Kuai Yue felt relieved after hearing the words, and immediately said: "This matter is not difficult, as long as General Zhou can persuade your lord to stop the army, I will persuade my lord to donate 50 shi of grain and grass with you." General, let the general have an explanation from your lord."

Jingzhou has everything, money and food, rich and well-off, but at this time, survival is critical, and all that is lacking is time, wealth and life may be lost, what is food and grass?
With Kuai Yue's proposal, Zhou Tai's expression softened, and he finally made up his mind to go back and persuade Guo Jia to withdraw.

Kuai Yue was naturally overjoyed, calling Zhou Tai a hero again and again, and even almost calling him a brother.

Yuan Shu's army was about to go south, and Kuai Yue had no time to find out the reality of Guo Jia's other armies. Accompanied by Zhou Tai, he walked out of the tent and planned to return to Xiangyang.

"Brother Yidu, it's not just out of the villain's heart, if your master doesn't want to donate food and grass, what will happen then?"

Kuai Yue can only make a suggestion and has no right to make a decision. It is understandable for Zhou Tai to be scrupulous about this.

But Kuai Yue said confidently: "My Lord's benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide, and this matter will definitely not hinder it."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Tai chuckled, and said casually: "Yes, Jingzhou is a land of hundreds of battles. Today, Yuan Shu overestimates his strength and promotes a teacher without Dao. I am afraid that there will be short-sighted people repeating the same mistakes in the future. If Liu Shijun Being able to form an ally with our lord and help each other will not only protect Yizhou and Jingzhou, but may also work together to help the Han Dynasty.”

Kuai Yue, who got on his horse and started the return journey, knew that Zhou Tai's words before parting sounded like good intentions, but they were actually a warning.

If Liu Biao didn't send food and grass, even if Yuan Shu was defeated today, if another enemy from Jingzhou invaded in the future, Guo Jia would not just be taking advantage of the fire to loot.
