The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 205
All measures to defend against the enemy are being implemented step by step. Guo Jia doesn't know when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will send troops to attack, but he expects that the other party will at least say hello.

After all, Guo Jia is a Hanchen, a Yizhou shepherd, and more than half a year ago, he wiped out Li Jue and Guo Si, and he is a hero of the Han Dynasty.

Sure enough, it was as expected by Guo Jia.

On the third day, a messenger, Guo Tu, came from Chang'an City.

Guo Tu was dressed gorgeously and looked very luxurious. He held the imperial decree and stood in front of Guo Jia with his head held high.

Guo Jia, who was sitting upright in the main seat, saw Guo Tu's arrogant look, and didn't care. Xu Shufa in the hall was looking down, and he was also indifferent to Guo Tu's domineering posture.

There is not such a deep city on the general's side, Xu Chu Dianwei snorted angrily with a sneer, and shot away with fierce eyes, staring at Guo Tu like a wolf like a tiger.

Gan Ning and Gao Shun had no expression on their faces, Guo Tu was full of arrogance and showed no pretense to others, and they also traded it in their own way, raised their chins slightly, and walked away with contempt.

Yuan Shao is recognized as the number one prince in the world, and Guo Tu is full of confidence.

When the two armies are at war, they will not be beheaded.

Guo Tu expected that Guo Jia would not touch him, he came on behalf of Yuan Shao, he could not lose his reputation, and he wanted to intimidate Guo Jia as much as possible.

Taking a step back, beating a dog depends on the owner, Guo Jia dares to make things difficult for him, Yuan Shao will not give up.

Looking around Tang Wenwu, Guo Tu sneered.

More than [-] troops approached Guanzhong like Mount Tai.

You are calm on the surface, I am afraid that many people will be scared out of their wits.

Even if the coach and the general are not afraid, there must be soft-legged shrimps under his hands who have been out of their wits.

"Guo Tu, I have seen the envoy, and I am here to ask the envoy to accept the order."

Guo Tu didn't pay much attention to the performance of civil servants and military generals. Besides, there were only six people in Guo Jia's place. Compared with Yuan Shao's gathering of talents and countless talented people in Hebei, it really pales in comparison.

But Guo Jia, who was expressionless on the main seat, made Guo Tu unable to figure out what Guo Jia was feeling at this moment.

Is it fear or anger?Is it worry or hate?
Guo Jia raised his hand, indicating that Guo Tu could declare the decree.

According to etiquette and etiquette, Guo Jia should leave the table and kneel down to receive the order.

If he did this, wouldn't he be in Guo Tu's arms?

Didn't he just let his dismounting succeed?
To suppress the opponent in terms of momentum, Guo Jia's posture must first be tough.

Everyone knows that the imperial decree in Guo Tu's hand came from Cao Cao.

In the past, everyone reciprocated courtesy and got along with each other in a friendly manner. Guo Jia lowered his posture and knelt down to accept orders.

But now, since they are all torn apart, there is no need to be hypocritical.

As soon as Guo Jia raised his hand, Guo Tu felt the pressure on his face.

It wasn't that Guo Jia's palm could make waves, but Guo Jia's move not only caught Guo Tu off guard, but also made him feel helpless.

Originally, he wanted to give Guo Jia a bad start and overwhelm Guo Jia in terms of momentum, but now, it has become an embarrassment for himself.

Do you just stand there and announce the decree?
So what is the deterrent power of this edict?
Guo Tu has no ability to ask Guo Jia to kneel in front of him with Wen and Wu to listen to the order.

The arrogant Guo Tu was full of aggrieved.

With just one movement, Guo Jia dissipated his arrogance invisible.

No matter how proud you are, you'll be like a clown.

Unable to restrain himself from staring at Guo Jia who was sitting on the throne, Guo Tu secretly lamented that this young monarch is an extraordinary person.

He and Guo Jia are fellow villagers, both from Yingchuan.

Since ancient times, Yingchuan has been full of talents, and Yingchuan, with its outstanding people, has sprung up a large number of handsome men in the world no matter whether it is a prosperous or a troubled world.

There are more or less people from Yingchuan under the tents of all the princes in the world.

When a fellow returns to his hometown, he will not meet with tears in his eyes. If it is a friend, it is reasonable to talk about the nostalgia.

But the positions are different, and each has its own master. I am afraid that the fellow villagers will also be jealous when they meet.

cough

Guo Tu put away his contempt, he didn't despise Guo Jia, he just wanted to make the other party feel intimidated.

The speed of speech was slow and the words were heavy. Guo Tu read out the imperial decree in a leisurely manner.

The content of the decree is very simple.

It was not even the slightest difference from what Guo Jia expected.

The first half of the imperial decree is to commend Guo Jia for his service to the great man and the extermination of Li Jue and Guo Si over the years.

In the second half of the story, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia to return to Yizhou and Guanzhong in the name of the emperor, and Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao to guard it.

After the edict was read out, Guo Tu fell into embarrassment again.

He even regretted that he shouldn't have taken up this job.

After Yuan Shao and Cao Cao entered Luoyang together, Cao Cao said that he would issue an order to Guo Jia, and Yuan Shao refused to let go of any opportunity to show off his might.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was also worried that if Cao Cao sent envoys to see Guo Jia, if Guo Jia really disarmed and surrendered, wouldn't it be the same as taking refuge in Cao Cao?
Therefore, Yuan Shao took the task of announcing the decree from Cao Cao and handed it over to Guo Tu.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what Cao Cao expected to see.

Go to Guanzhong to deliver an edict to Guo Jia?

This is a desperate job!

There was no sound in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Guo Tu was not sure what Guo Jia and these civil and military officials meant.

He neither accepted the order nor opened his mouth to curse.

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, got up slowly, which made Guo Tu's nerves tense, and he stared nervously at Guo Jia to see what he was going to do.

And Guo Jia's actions made Guo Tu's face turn pale instantly.

On the low table in front of Guo Jia was always his saber, he stood up and picked up the sword, and slowly pulled it out.

铿

The crisp sound of the sword.

Holding the saber in his hand, Guo Jia, still expressionless, stepped three steps away from Guo Tu.

Guo Tu was completely shocked.

Is Guo Jia going to kill him?
What are you doing with your sword drawn?
"My lord, this, this, this is Cao Aman's meaning, not my lord's meaning."

Guo Tu's voice was panicked, even with a hint of crying.

Guo Jia turned a blind eye to Guo Tu's state of confusion and panic at the moment, without saying a word, and slowly raised his sword, pointing at Guo Tu.

If Guo Jia wanted to kill Guo Tu, there was no need to do it himself.

Guo Tu didn't hide, because Guo Jia's movements were very slow, and he didn't seem to want to kill him.

Cold sweat rolled down Guo Tu's cheeks.

Eyes, I dare not even blink for an instant.

Guo Tu swallowed hard, seeing the sharp long sword pointed in front of him, no wonder he wasn't afraid.

Guo Jia didn't kill Guo Tu, and even Jianfeng didn't touch Guo Tu's body.

The tip of the sword was under Guo Tu's outstretched imperial decree. Guo Jia slowly picked up the imperial decree with the sword, then turned around and took a few steps, and placed the imperial decree on the low table.

Guo Tu made a false alarm, but he also seemed to have experienced a cycle of life and death. His back was dripping with cold sweat, and his whole body seemed to collapse, becoming weak.

"Cao Cao, you are too deceitful!"

Guo Jia broke out suddenly.

The saber fell from above, and the tip of the sword pierced the imperial decree, pierced through the low table, and stood on the table shaking back and forth.

嗡

The heavy sound spread in the hall, shaking Guo Tu's heart, but at the same time he let out a sigh of relief.

Very well, Guo Jia is a sensible person and knows that Cao Cao is obstructing it.

The spearhead should be pointed at Cao Cao.

Guo Jia turned around and faced Guo Tu. This time, Guo Jiaping and Shen Jing's expressions suddenly became vicious.

"Guo Tu, Cao Cao wanted to plan for Guanzhong, so he used the name of the emperor to issue a coercive edict to me. Hehe, why did your master come to Luoyang? Could it be that your master also wants to put me to death?"

Guo Tu became nervous again.

Now he can no longer be arrogant.

Guo Jia asked him to proclaim the decree and the few simple actions that followed had already left him bewildered. Now facing Guo Jia, he was walking on thin ice. If he made a slight mistake, he was afraid that Guo Jia would swing the butcher's knife.

After all, when the two armies are fighting, it is not a mandatory rule not to kill the envoy. If Guo Jia really killed him, at most he would be scolded a few times, and his fate is here.

Say it carefully.

Guo Tu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he wiped it off intentionally, but he was afraid that his actions would be ridiculed in the eyes of others. Maybe he didn't expect Guo Jia's actions in a short period of time, and he had firmly grasped his momentum. suppressed him.

He is Yuan Shao's envoy, with 40 soldiers, Yuan Shao who is sitting in the four states of the world!

Even if he was going to meet the emperor, Guo Tu didn't think there would be such a big pressure.

"My lord was forced to do so. Cao Aman also issued an order to my lord in the name of the son of heaven, so that you should know that my lord, the fourth generation and third prince, is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He resists the decree and disrespects... Uh, cough cough, in short, my family My lord is involuntary, in fact, my lord and the envoy have been friends for a long time, and now the world is in chaos, and the common people are suffering, if the envoy and my lord work together, the world will be peaceful."

Guo Tu was trembling, and kept staring at Guo Jia, checking Guo Jia's reaction.

Just now he almost blurted out the words "resisting the imperial edict and not respecting this kind of outrageous and immoral thing".

Fortunately, I stopped talking, otherwise I would really be in trouble.

Resisting the decree is not respectful, Guo Jia just finished this matter a moment ago.

There can be no mistakes in words, and there can be no mistakes in actions.

Guo Tu felt more and more that he should regret coming to Chang'an at this time.

It was thought that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army of more than [-] troops in Luoyang would exert a strong pressure on Guo Jia, but Guo Tu followed Yuan Shao's instructions and called it Xuanzhao, but in fact he wanted to surrender.

Anyway, Guo Jia will definitely not be able to withstand the more than [-] troops.

So in order to prevent Guo Jia from falling to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao naturally had to preemptively strike.

According to Guo Jia and Yuan Shao's previous interactions, Guo Tu felt that this should be a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

As early as the early days of Guo Jia's capture of Yizhou, Guo Jia sent a secret letter to Yuan Shao.

It implied the intention of submission, and supported Yuan Shao's establishment of a new emperor.

More than half a year ago, Guo Jia sent someone to invite Yuan Shao to welcome the emperor to Jizhou.

Whether these actions were good intentions or malicious in nature, Guo Jia didn't say, and Yuan Shao didn't know either.

But using the facts to prove it, Yuan Shao would think that Guo Jia really favored him.

Although the establishment of a new emperor was on hold, it was something Yuan Shao wanted to facilitate.

When Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make the princes, Yuan Shao was jealous when he saw it, and at the same time he suddenly realized that Guo Jia had given him this opportunity, but he did not cherish it.

From this point of view, Yuan Shao believes that he and Guo Jia are not only not endless enemies, but can become the masters of the world.

Cao Cao is planning, and Yuan Shao is also planning.

As long as Guo Jia turned against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's next step would be to directly enter the Central Plains.

Anyway, his army has already arrived in Luoyang, and it is a convenient move to send the army east to Xuchang to welcome the emperor back to Jizhou.

But there is a premise for this, Guo Jia seeks refuge in the city.
