The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 163
If a small person wants to rise in troubled times, apart from strength, he must follow the trend and seize every fleeting golden opportunity.

When entering Yizhou, Guo Jia seized the right opportunity when the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Dong, but Liu Yan was negligent and let Guo Jiajin become one of the princes competing for the world.

The defeat in the attack on Jingzhou, regardless of human conspiracy, Guo Jia thought that the timing was on me, but it was not the case.

Guo Jia, who was like a trapped animal in Yizhou, finally got the chance to get out of the predicament.

Liu Biao is a king who sits and talks, but Liu Biao is lenient and a family member of the Han Dynasty. Guo Jia can't cut him down. After Liu Biao took Jingzhou, he could only aim at Guanzhong and follow the old road of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. , Captured the land of the Three Qin Dynasty.

Liu Bangming repaired the plank road and crossed Chencang secretly. He had to look up to others and see Xiang Yu's face, but Guo Jia had no such worries. He sent troops to Guanzhong to copy Li Jue and Guo Si's back road. Road four?
Starting from the overall situation, Guo Jia has the strength to contend with the Kanto princes!
Over the past few years, Guo Jia has only recruited troops once to expand his personal guard army. The personal guard army is divided into internal and external, and they are all led by Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi. It is responsible for guarding Guo Jia himself.

For this troop dispatch, Xi Zhicai was in charge of Chengdu, with nearly [-] personal guards left behind, [-] soldiers from Zhang Yan in Jiangyang County in the south, and [-] soldiers from Zhou Tai and Zhang Baiqi in Padang Fuling in the east. They all stood still, and with the [-] soldiers left behind in Hanzhong, there were still [-] troops stationed in Yizhou, and the stability of the rear was guaranteed.

Guo Jia personally led three generals Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun and their [-] soldiers to the north, together with the [-] Jinfan Army and Zhang Liao's [-] soldiers and horses who were on standby in Hanzhong, a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses went north to Guanzhong.

After the defeat of Jingzhou, Guo Jia's strategic goal has moved to Guanzhong in the north, so the military supplies, food, grass and supplies accumulated over the years are all hoarded in Hanzhong, the purpose is to save manpower and material resources when marching north.

Military operations and government affairs arrangements have been made, and Guo Jia will go north in three days and return to the backyard of the mansion, intending to spend more time with his wives and concubines in the calm before the storm.

Passing through the courtyard and coming to the inner hall of the backyard, I was surprised to see Guo Ye kneeling in the hall, Cai Yan, the mother, sitting on the side with no expression on her face, and Zhen Jiang hugging the two-year-old Guo Jin to comfort her.

"Ye'er was playful for a while, and his sister punished him to kneel for a long time. The anger should have subsided, and if he knelt down again, Ye'er has just turned seven years old, how can his body bear it? In the end, it's not my sister that you love the most?"

Guo Jia stepped into the hall, Zhen Jiang winked at him, signaling to persuade Cai Yan, but Cai Yan turned to look at Guo Jia, and said nothing more.

Standing beside Guo Ye, Guo Jia asked, "Why is your mother angry? What did you do?"

Guo Ye's legs were sore, but he kept his back straight all the time. He raised his head and looked at Guo Jia with some shame, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, I went hunting with Brother Jian and Brother Ming, and I didn't go to study at Mr. .”

Brother Jian and Brother Ming are the eldest son of Xi Zhicai and the second son of Zhen Yu.

"That's it?"

Guo Jia looked at Cai Yan inexplicably, and while pulling Guo Ye up, he said, "Isn't it a big deal? A child is very curious at this age, and it's normal to be greedy for fun. You have to teach him a lesson and take it as a warning. That's enough, punish him to kneel here, let alone a child, I can't stand it."

Cai Yan didn't say a word, and tears flowed from his eyes.

"Oh, sister, don't cry, husband, you too. My sister disciplines Ye'er because Ye'er is the eldest son. If he can't lead by example and set an example, in the end, it won't be the Guo family who are being laughed at?"

Zhen Jiang took out a handkerchief to wipe Cai Yan's tears away, then glared at Guo Jia, complaining that he spoke too seriously.

Guo Ye, who had been pulled up by Guo Jia, knelt down again, and said to Cai Yan in fear, "Mother, I don't dare, I won't dare to be disobedient in the future."

Guo Jia also understands that Guo Ye, as the eldest son, should set an example for his brothers. He doesn't expect to be a model, but he should also follow the rules and have both virtues and virtues.

"That's right, you cry, just cry, the child will be useless in the future if you let you teach like this. If you control it so tightly, the child will only read books for ass. Don't let the child go outside to experience it. Staying at home is treating him Okay? Are there few scholars in the world? Are there still few books read by the civil and military officials in the court? How many of them can protect themselves in troubled times? Hmph, Dong Zhuo killed a lot, Li Jue and Guo Si are now I also killed a lot, do you want my son to be full of poems and books but to be slaughtered?"

Pulling Guo Ye up and walking outside, Guo Jia said something behind their backs.

"I will lead the army to go out in three days, and the family will be handed over to you."

Zhen Jiang was dumbfounded, looked at Cai Yan, found that she was not crying, and comforted: "Sister, my husband is like this, sometimes loses his temper, and he forgets it when he looks back, so don't take it to heart."

Can Cai Yan not know this?She turned her head to look at Zhen Jiang, and thoughtfully said: "My husband seems to be right. It seems that Ye'er can't be too strict in the future. Sister, Jin'er..."

Following Cai Yan's gaze down, Guo Jin innocently lowered his head and played with the bamboo dragonfly in his hand.

Zhen Jiang's face froze, he tightly hugged Guo Jin's hand, and forced a smile: "Sister, I, I have made an agreement with your father. When Jin'er grows up, I will ask your father to teach him how to read and write. Let the child go, wait until he can stand on his own."

Cai Yan is a little scared now, worrying that the child will be taught too strictly and become an ordinary scholar. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Cai Yan thinks it is time for Guo Ye to see for himself, reminding Zhen Jiang that she hopes Don't learn from her when disciplining Guo Jin, but since Zhen Jiang has plans, she can't interfere.

Taking his son to the courtyard, Guo Jia knelt down to help his son rub his knees, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

Guo Ye hesitated for a while, trying to be brave and say it didn't hurt, but it was indeed sore from being rubbed by Guo Jia's hand, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching a few times, and he nodded a little ashamedly.

"What are you pretending to be with your father? You and those boys went out to hunt in the city, does sir know?"

Sitting on the stone bench and putting Guo Ye on his lap, Guo Jia asked while helping his legs to activate blood and unblock the tendons.

Guo Ye's legs were sore at first, but now he felt more comfortable, and replied: "Yes, sir said that it is good for children to go hunting, but they must be protected by guards, and they cannot be in danger alone. About reading, sir Playing is also reading."

Heh, what a Jia Xu, is the game reading? !
Guo Jia asked in a strange voice, "Eh? Since Mr. agrees with you to play, why don't you tell mother, she won't punish you if you do."

With a serious expression on his handsome face, Guo Ye shook his head and said, "If the boy says that the husband agrees, the mother will definitely not be happy. Maybe she won't let the husband teach the boy. The boy likes the husband and doesn't want another husband to teach the boy."

Guo Jia was taken aback, pinched his nose, and said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful, your mother is strict with you, but it is good for you, you have to remember one sentence, a loving mother is a failure, and now she is used to spoiling you You, that is to harm you. You are not allowed to have any opinions on your mother, you know?"

Guo Ye nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. also said the same thing. My son told him before that mother was not good to him. Mr. reprimanded him and explained a lot of truths to him. My son also understands that mother won't let him have sex with others." It is good for the child that he can play freely like that, and it is also good for the child that Mr. let the child go out to play for a few days every month."

Smiling in relief, Guo Jia realized that his worries were superfluous, put Guo Ye down, and said, "Go and tell your husband to go north with me in three days, and ask him to go with you and take care of you."

"Is the baby going too?" Guo Ye's expression was surprised, but there was a bit of yearning in his eyes.

Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you go too, but this is not for fun, you have to be obedient, and you have to watch, listen and learn more on the way, understand?"

Guo Ye nodded excitedly, agreed again and again, and then ran out to send a letter to Jia Xu.

Guo Jia doesn't know how long the troubled times will last, so he hopes that his children can see the world clearly, and Bao Jianfeng emerge from sharpening. Even if he won't put Guo Ye in danger, at least he won't live in a fairy tale.

There are countless descendants of the princes in the world. In times of peace and prosperity, they may be able to truly shoulder the heavy burden. In troubled times, most of the descendants of princes died unexpectedly, and they did not even have the ability to survive.

Three days later, Guo Jia offered sacrifices to heaven and earth in the Daying Camp in Chengdu, issued a call for rebellion, counted Li Jue and Guo Si's crimes, and made known the righteousness of sending troops to the world.

This time going north, in addition to the three generals Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun who followed him from Chengdu, Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, and Jia Xu and his student Guo Ye were accompanying him.

Hanzhong Zhang Liao and the Jinfan Army who arrived in Hanzhong a day ago were on standby and ready to go. After Guo Jia arrived in Hanzhong, he ordered Xu Shu to sit in Hanzhong to dispatch logistics.

Going up from the old road, on the road north to Guanzhong, the mighty army can't see the front and back at a glance. Guo Jia, who is changing to a chariot, is wearing armor and looks majestic.

Gan Ning led Jinfan Army with [-] silver-feathered flying cavalry formed in recent years, and the remaining [-] regular troops were led by Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Meng Da as side generals.

Zhang Liao led [-] infantry, [-] crossbowmen and [-] archers were the trump cards that Guo Jia had hoped to use to restrain the enemy cavalry. Yan Yan also went out with the army, and Yan Pu stayed in Hanzhong to assist Xu Shu.

In addition to Dianwei's tiger guards and Gao Shun's camp, although Xu Chu's five thousand soldiers were not outstanding, they were all unstoppable warriors.

This time, Guo Jia went north to Guanzhong, with all the elite, and he was going to take Guanzhong in one go, wipe out Li Jue and Guo Si, severely injure the Southern Huns, and deter Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"My lord, why didn't you tell General Wenyuan to send troops from Hanzhong to take the Ziwu Road to take Chang'an? Li Jue and Guo Si are leading the army to pursue the Son of Heaven. Chang'an must be unguarded right now."

Fazheng rode beside Guo Jia's chariot and asked such a question.

Guo Jia chuckled. Zhuge Liang may have a lot of controversy over this issue, but it doesn't matter to him.
