The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 260
Recently, Guo Ye has a lot of preoccupations, often alone in a daze, distracted, even when eating, he would hold his chopsticks motionless, and when friends around him asked him with concern, he would shake his head and keep silent.

Guo Jiajian's navy is not attacking Jingzhou, so what's the use of the navy?

Guo Ye couldn't figure it out, he didn't ask Qin Mi, Zhen Yao, Zhang Song and others, he hoped he could come up with the answer himself.

"Ye'er, Ye'er..."

At dinner time, except for Guo Jia, the whole family stared at Guo Ye who had fallen into a sluggish state with strange expressions.

Cai Yan had already seen that something was wrong with Guo Ye, and had been refraining from asking, but today he couldn't bear it any longer.

Guo Ye came back to his senses, looking at the mountain of meat and vegetables in the rice bowl, his eyes seemed very confused.

"Isn't it a physical discomfort?"

Xiao Qiao stared at Guo Ye and looked left and right. Although she didn't have the ability to see, smell and ask, she could always see the clues by looking at a person's expression.

Guo Ye looked as usual, obviously not sick.

"Speak out when you have something in your heart, and if you press it down in your heart, you will become depressed and sick."

Cai Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks and stared at Guo Ye.

When someone asks, Guo Ye can choose to remain silent, but when Cai Yan asks, it is difficult for him to hide.

There was a bit of shame on his face, Guo Ye said in a low voice: "Mr. asked me, what is the purpose of my father's new navy, and he went to patrol with such a big fanfare? I said that my father was going to attack Jingzhou. After hearing this, Mr. I left disappointed, and told the boy that if the father can't think of an answer before he comes back, he won't have to see him in the future."

"Mr. Jia is too harsh, isn't he? Ye'er is only ten years old, and he let Ye'er think about adults' affairs. How can he know so much? Ye'er, there are many teachers in Yizhou. If you don't go to him, you won't go anywhere." Go, in the future you will go to Cai Gong to listen to the teachings like Jin'er, I think it will be very good."

Xiao Qiao comforted Guo Ye with a gentle smile.

In terms of the reputation of scholars, a hundred Jia Xu can't compare with Cai Yong.

Diao Chan didn't eat much, so she had already put down her chopsticks, and was holding her daughter as an audience. She didn't even think about it, she had the right to speak, but she didn't want to participate.

Da Qiao was also silent, because she didn't want to interfere with Cai Yan's teaching of the children. It was not her who could teach Guo Ye what to learn from, and it was Guo Jia's own decision to let Jia Xu teach Guo Ye.

Zhen Jiang could understand Guo Ye's words, but she didn't quite understand Guo Jia's official actions. Even if she was a wife, it was difficult for her to understand all the intentions. She turned to look at Guo Jin and asked, "Can Jin'er guess?" ?”

After Guo Ye's voice fell, Guo Jin was thinking, but he didn't have any clue at all. Lian Maocai has the opportunity to go to Luoyang to receive teachings in the imperial city. In the words of later generations, it is a school run by the royal family, where you can learn all kinds of knowledge, including military affairs. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have all experienced such baptism. On the contrary, the royal family There is no descendant Liu Bei, so it is no wonder why Liu Bei has fought all his life, winning less and losing more.

In Yizhou, the threshold of Baijia School is low, and you don’t need to be a filial and talented person to enter and learn. In the past, the gentry monopolized official careers and monopolized knowledge. Whether it was a private school or a school, it was a tool used by the gentry to cultivate the wings of the powerful. , ordinary people face such a threshold is out of reach, Guo Jia broke this situation, in Baijia School, you can learn all kinds of knowledge, Guo Jin is very yearning for it, but the road has to be taken step by step, even if Guo Jin If you are interested in the military, you must also arrange your time reasonably and decide according to your own situation.

Although he was talented, he was helpless in the face of this problem. He shook his head in disappointment. Guo Jin was disappointed. The more reason was that Guo Jia's world was too strange to him.

Seeing his appearance, Zhen Jiang gave him food as if encouraged, with a smile still on his face.

It's normal for him not to be able to answer. If he can answer, he will speak amazingly. There is nothing to be disappointed and blame the child for.

Seeing Guo Ye's self-blaming expression, Cai Yan felt distressed but did not show it on his face.

This child, Cai Yan can't say he is stupid, just ordinary, but Cai Yan is not disappointed at all.

Late bloomers abound. Guo Ye hasn't made a big splash at such a young age, so it doesn't mean he won't impress others in the future.

As a mother, she naturally has high expectations for her children at all times.

"Ye'er, what do you think this is?"

Cai Yan stretched out his left hand in front of Guo Ye with a gentle expression. Guo Ye lowered his eyes and watched his mother's left fist slowly open. The palm was empty.

Nothing.

This

Guo Ye was caught off guard and Cai Yan flicked his right finger on his forehead. Although it didn't hurt, he still reached out and touched his forehead, raised his head to look at his mother, and asked puzzledly: "Mom, what are you holding?" Not at all, and, you admit to beating and scolding the baby, but what does it mean to flick the baby on the head without pain?"

The girls next to her were also amazed by Cai Yan's actions, saying that she was teaching Guo Ye a lesson, but unlike her, they couldn't figure out what she was doing.

Cai Yan showed a hint of a smile, looked over Guo Ye's head to the door, and said suspiciously: "Eh? Xiao Ren, why are you back? Ye'er, go get some tableware for your Uncle Xiao."

A look of surprise appeared on Guo Ye's face, and he turned his head to look. Where was Xiao Ren inside and outside the door?
From surprise to disappointment, Guo Ye turned his head to ask his mother why he made such a silly joke.

But he just turned around.

patter
Cai Yan flicked his forehead again, Guo Ye was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Mom, what do you want?"

If you want to beat or scold, just be more straightforward.

It's like playing tricks on him, isn't it fun?
The other girls were also confused by Cai Yan's trick.

"Sister, are you angry or not?"

Zhen Jiang was confused, and Cai Yan was smiling, as if he was angry, but is it interesting to tease his son like this?

Cai Yan chuckled, and said to Guo Ye: "Okay, okay, mother won't tease you anymore, let's eat."

Hearing what Cai Yan said, Guo Ye, who was at a loss, no longer pursued it, and lowered his head to get the chopsticks.

did not expect.

Snapped

When he lowered his head, Cai Yan flicked his forehead again.

It can be done again and again, not again and again.

Even though Guo Ye respected his mother, he couldn't help the endless teasing.

"Mother, you can beat and scold if you want to, why do you have to tease the child repeatedly like this?"

Guo Ye was really angry.

He has never been beaten, but he is not afraid. From childhood to adulthood, he stumbled and stumbled, and he never yelled a word of pain.

Xiao Qiao couldn't stand it any longer, and stretched out her hand to hold Cai Yan's right arm, for fear that she would repeat her tricks and continue to make things difficult for Guo Ye.

"Sister, don't be like this. If you want to blame, you can blame that Mr. Jia. How many people in the world can guess what your husband is thinking?"

Even Diao Chan, who has never expressed his opinion, gave a few words of comfort. If Cai Yan's mother and son had trouble, as Guo Jia's wife and concubine, they must not stay out of it.

But Cai Yan smiled even more, looked at Guo Ye and said softly: "Ye'er, don't you understand?"

Guo Ye's expression was startled, he lowered his head and thought about it, and touched his forehead. It didn't hurt at all, but it was like a very deep imprint, which had a special meaning.

A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, as if he had an epiphany, Guo Ye raised his head and shouted: "I understand. Father is preparing for the Eastern Expedition!"

Except for Cai Yan, everyone present didn't know why, so why did Guo Ye think of it all of a sudden?Whether it was right or wrong, they didn't know, but they knew that Cai Yan's actions just now were trying to persuade Guo Ye.

Maybe, Cai Yan has the answer in her heart, but she won't tell Guo Ye directly.

She would only point out a way of thinking to Guo Ye, and the process of finding the answer should be left to Guo Ye himself.

Draw Guo Ye's attention away three times, and then flick his forehead.

Guo Ye thought of the tricks in the art of war.

Maybe in a battle, it is not uncommon to see the east and the west, but Guo Jia has already started to lay out the layout before the war. Standing at the height of the world, it may take many years to plant the seeds, wait for the roots to germinate, and the branches and leaves to flourish. Take it off when you are tired.

Guo Jia's attack on the east and the west is based on the enemy's psychological activities, not a simple military operation.

Guo Ye finally figured it out. Guo Jia built the navy to show off to the princes of the Kanto region. On the one hand, he would deter Liu Biao, and on the other hand, he would let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao take off their vigilance.

However, Guo Ye frowned again, looked at Cai Yan suspiciously, and asked, "Mother, isn't it right? Father has always loved the people, so how could he waste money so easily? These one hundred thousand sailors will consume countless money, food and labor. Father If it’s just to create momentum in Yizhou, it’s a big deal, right?”

Cai Yan shook his head with a smile, and patiently explained: "Ye'er, is a hundred thousand sailors a waste of money? You shouldn't just look at the present. One day, this navy will come in handy. The difference is only in the present or in the future. If the navy is just for display, then naturally it is a fuss, it is desirable to go to Jingzhou, and to go to the east of the river, a navy is absolutely necessary."

Guo Jia's next strategy is indeed to wait for the battle of Guandu. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not exhausted. Before Guo Jia waves his troops to attack Jingzhou without the banner of justice, it is difficult for the navy to come in handy.

If he was a well-behaved strategist, he would definitely suggest that Guo Jia set up troops in Guanzhong and spy on the Central Plains.

After winning the Central Plains, Yizhou will build a navy to unify the south by land and water.

Therefore, the establishment of the navy will definitely not be a decoration. The difference is that Guo Jia will plan three or five years ahead of schedule.

Guo Ye suddenly realized, all doubts in his heart disappeared, and he smiled at Cai Yan: "I understand, thank you mother."

After dinner, Guo Ye couldn't wait to run to Jia Xu's house. After seeing Jia Xu, Guo Ye gave Jia Xu a satisfactory answer.

Jia Xu showed a gratified smile, and asked back: "Master Ye, let me ask you again, will Yuan Shao and Cao Cao be deceived by doing this, my lord?"

Guo Ye was happy for a moment, but his mood became solemn again. He shook his head not optimistically and said, "Cao Cao is full of tricks, and my father often said that Yuan Shao has countless capable people. I'm afraid they won't be fooled, and they will always be wary of father."

Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Master Ye, let's go back and think about it."

Looking at the gate of Jia's mansion, Guo Ye left again with a heavy heart.
