The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 133
Liu Biao, who has once again survived the crisis, has really secured his position as Jingzhou Mu this time.

The princes of the world looked down on Guo Jia and would think that Liu Biao's defeat of Guo Jia was not worth mentioning, but within a year Liu Biao defeated Guo Jia and then retreated to Yuan Shu, and his prestige suddenly rose, and no princes dared to underestimate Liu Biao.

"My lord, food and grass are small benefits, and fame is great righteousness. It is unwise to sacrifice great righteousness for small benefits. What Guo Jia needs most now? In fact, it is not food and grass, but an identity recognized by the world and an equal status with the princes, so He does not join hands with Yuan Shu. Although it is not the lord who made the agreement with Zhou Tai, even breaking the agreement is my fault, but people in the world don’t see it that way, Guo Jia especially doesn’t see it that way. In the future when Yuan Shu regroups and attacks Jingzhou again, Guo Jia will definitely not sit on the sidelines. At that time, he will attack Jingzhou in the name of my breach of contract today. If my lord is determined not to donate food to Guo Jia, Then I implore you to resign and return home, so as not to become an excuse for Guo Jiaxing to attack in the future."

Liu Biao was in a dilemma, and Kuai Yue resolutely persuaded him to donate grain and grass to Guo Jia. This matter was regarded as Kuai Yue's decision to act first, but the matter was urgent. What is the real intention, Jingzhou can't even take the risk, so Liu Biao had no objection when Kuai Yue agreed to Zhou Tai's matter at the first time, but now after defeating Yuan, Liu Biao hesitated again.

In Liu Biao's eyes, Guo Jia is always a traitor, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two. As long as Guo Jia is strong enough to swallow Jingzhou and resist the princes of the Kwantung, he will definitely come east. Isn't it capitalizing on enemies and raising thieves?
Kuai Yue had already made it very clear that Jingzhou was surrounded by enemies on three sides and could not be blamed. After Liu Biao hesitated for a long time, he nodded in agreement with Kuai Yue's opinion.

He was ordered to go down to escort the food and grass to Guo Jia, but Kuai Yue stepped back a few steps and left.

Just as Kuai Yue left, Yi Ji walked in from the outside, saluted Liu Biao, and said, "My lord, Zhuge Xuan from the Zhuge family in Langya County came with his family, young and old. It seems that he wants to settle down in Jingzhou."

Liu Biao was overjoyed, and after hearing this, he walked out, saying as he walked, "It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar."

After taking office as the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao not only quickly mastered the military power, but repeatedly refused to be an invading foreign enemy, he also showed kindness and power, well lured, cleared thousands of miles, and the people were satisfied.And he opened the Confucian classics and established a school, and he loved the people and supported scholars, and he was supported by literati and scholars. Many exiled northern scholars were willing to take refuge in Jingzhou.

With the food and grass sent by Liu Biao, Guo Jia gained a lot from the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, but he was not complacent. This kind of small profit is not worth making him complacent.

Just after the autumn harvest, when winter is coming, Guo Jia, under the protection of the personal guards, headed for the beautiful and beautiful Mount Emei.

After nearly a year of marriage, Zhen Jiang finally got her wish and became pregnant with Guo Jia's flesh and blood. This time she went to Mount Emei because she wanted to go to the Middle Taoist Temple of Mount Emei to pray for blessings while she was still able to walk.

Mount Emei is majestic and majestic with many mountains and mountains. It is worthy of a mountain with four seasons and different days for ten miles.

Originally, there were Buddhist missionaries on Mount Emei, but after Guo Jia came to Yizhou, he eliminated Buddhist disciples and uprooted Buddhism in Yizhou. Zuo Ci and Yu Ji built Taoist temples on Mount Emei and worked hard for them. Most of them came spontaneously from the folks and elders of Yingchuan. Although Zuo Ci did not have the image of a benefactor in their hearts like Guo Jia, he was also an "old god" who made them grateful. Has a lot of convincing power, adding a lot of god-man color to himself.

Religious belief is an indispensable spiritual destination for human beings. Guo Jia is well aware of this. He used to be an atheist, but now he believes in a little bit, but no matter now or in the future, some people will choose a religion as their belief and promote atheism and scientism It is impossible to stop the invasion of religions, blocking is worse than sparse. Since Guo Jia cannot stop the rise of religions, he can only guide them. Instead of letting foreign Buddhism become the mainstream in China, it is better to support the native Taoism.

In the west, religion is above the imperial power. In the east, religion is a tool of the rulers. It is a good thing to make good use of this.

When Zuo Ci Yuji planned to build a Taoist temple, Guo Jia did not object, but gave him a lot of convenience. The children of the villagers spontaneously went to rebuild the temple left by Buddhism for them. Guo Jia did not stop him, but told Zuo very clearly. Merciful Yuji, when Taoism absorbs disciples, the number is strictly controlled. Taoism can't just recite scriptures and do nothing like Buddhism, practice martial arts to strengthen the body, save the dying and heal the wounded.

The Tianshi Palace of Zuo Ci and Yu Ji is located on a beautiful mountain. From the bottom of the mountain to the top, there are stone steps paving the way. Looking up, the palace is majestic and misty, and it does feel a bit like fairy clouds.

Now the number of guards has also increased to 3000 people. Guo Jia only asked Xiao Yi to bring 1000 people for this trip. His sudden arrival was not planned in advance, so there is no need to worry about someone planning to do something wrong.

Xiao Yi wanted to go up the mountain with Guo Jia with his personal guards, but was stopped by Guo Jia.

It was enough for Xiao Yi to bring dozens of people to guard him. Guo Jia helped the graceful Zhen Jiang get off the carriage. Guo Jia was careful not to be careless. Getting off the carriage, the two beautiful girls are Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao.

The two sisters-in-law have become silent since Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang got married. They seem to want to pretend to be ladies, but every time they see Guo Jia, they seem to have ADHD.

Seeing that the stone steps up the mountain seemed to have no end, and the slope of the road was a bit dangerous, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao supported Zhen Jiang on the left and right, lest she might make a mistake.

"Let me do it." Guo Jia walked over and helped Zhen Jiang up the mountain himself.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao puffed up their cheeks unwillingly, but didn't say anything else.

"Husband, this concubine is still able to walk, there is no need to be like this." Zhen Jiang's wonderful eyes flowed with affection, and Guo Jia's thoughtfulness warmed her heart.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Be careful."

After all, a group of people began to walk up the mountain on the stone steps.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji were surprised by Guo Jia's visit, but they immediately mobilized the entire Taoist temple to take action. Although they were pure-hearted and ascetic, they could not put on extravagant battles, but they could express their sincerity.

Some young Taoists stood along the stone steps from top to bottom to welcome Guo Jia's arrival.

Most of these Taoists are also orphans taken in by Guo Jia. Everyone has their own ambitions. Some children have been indifferent since they were young and did not seek worldly fame and fortune. life path.

"270 three, 270 four, 270 five..." Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao held each other's hands and followed Guo Jia, counting the number of stone steps as they went up the mountain.

Suddenly stopped and looked back, Zhen Tuo was dizzy for a while, looking down from a high place, he felt like standing on a high place and was about to fall down. Death is injury.

When she was dazed and terrified, Zhen Tuo was suddenly grabbed by the arm to stop her from falling, and when she looked up, Guo Jia was shaking her head slightly.

"I told you not to let you come, but you still want to come. Okay, Tuo'er, grab my arm, Dao'er, hold my waist from behind."

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao blushed, half of them were ashamed, they really didn't dare to go up the mountain alone now, Zhen Tuo happily reached out his hand to go around Guo Jia's armpit, hugged his arm in his arms, Zhen Dao hung down He didn't even dare to look at the road with his head, his hands tightly pinched Guo Jia's waist and followed behind.

"Oh, how many did you count just now?" Zhen Dao suddenly raised his head and asked his sister.

Zhen Tuo said without turning his head: "I don't know, let's go down the mountain and count."

Zhen Jiang on the other side has nothing to do with the two younger sisters. It would be great if they could be educated and reasonable since childhood like the fifth sister Zhen Mi, demure and indifferent.

It took more than an hour to arrive in front of the Tianshi Palace. The Tianshi Palace is located on the mountainside, and there is a road up the mountain behind. On the top of the mountain is Zuo Ci and Yu Ji.

"The poor way is Zuoci."

"Poverty and auspiciousness."

"Congratulations, General."

Two veteran Taoists with immortal demeanor led the disciples to welcome Guo Jia in front of the gate of Tianshi Palace.

Let go of Zhen Jiang, and patted Zhen Tuo, who was not letting go, Guo Jia stepped forward, came to the two old Taoists, and said with a smile: "Old Taoist Zuo, ten years ago, you called me little grandpa, I feel uncomfortable. Comfortable, but now, I hope you still call me little grandpa, it makes me feel warm."

"The poor man will dare to continue to call the general the little grandpa. Little grandpa, how are you doing?" Zuo Ci is actually young and has a deep friendship with Guo Jia. Today's achievement has made a contribution that cannot be ignored. Teaching children martial arts all the time not only keeps them healthy, Guo Jia's current main bodyguard is all thanks to Zuo Ci.

Guo Jia smiled brightly, looked back at Zhen Jiang, and said: "It's business, it's still the same as before, but I'm here to accompany my wife. Recently I heard that my wife is happy, so I came here to pray and fulfill my wish."

Hearing this, Zuo Ci was overjoyed, regardless of his identity, he and Guo Jia had been friends for more than ten years, and he was really happy for Guo Jia from the bottom of his heart.

"It's such a happy event, then the poor Taoist must congratulate the little grandpa. It's cold and windy, so the little grandpa and his wife should go in with the poor Taoist to talk."

Zuo Ci turned to one side, and opened his hands to invite Guo Jia to go first.

Avoiding hypocritical refusal, Guo Jia held Zhen Jiang's hand and walked inward, when the road was too auspicious, Guo Jia stopped again, and asked teasingly: "Dare to ask, the bloody disaster you hit, has it been resolved? "

At the beginning, Yu Ji wanted to change his fate against the sky and came to join Guo Jia, because Zuo Ci said that Guo Jia was a person with abnormal fate, and could even change the fate of people around him. Try it, many years have passed, the haze in his heart has disappeared, and he knows that the catastrophe he was destined for has been eliminated.

"Young Grandpa, don't make fun of the poor." Yu Ji smiled wryly, but his heart was full of joy.
