The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 270 Yuan Cao Breaks Up
Winter goes to spring, and the earth warms up.

When the situation in the Central Plains and Hebei had just entered the fifth year of Jian'an, the long-standing calm was finally broken.

Yuan Shao's army continued to gather and stationed troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, and a call to action against thieves was passed to the hands of princes, big and small, all over the world.

Yuan Cao finally broke openly.

Before this, Yuan Shao tried to test Cao Cao. Under his deterrence, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Xuchang, proposing to welcome the emperor to Yecheng, his headquarters, but Cao Cao flatly refused. This reaction made Yuan Shao completely cut off the idea of ​​recruiting Cao Cao. .

Two heroes cannot stand side by side.

Yizhou, Chengdu

"Being an evildoer, being gluttonous, hurting and abusing the people... Well, what a Chen Lin, his pen is better than a hundred thousand soldiers."

Guo Jia held Chen Lin's call to action against thieves, and the more he read it, the more he felt his heart agitated.

It's not whether the family from Cao Cao's grandfather to Cao Cao's own family should be scolded, but Chen Lin's scolding is amazing.

The civil and military people on the side were not as able to express their emotions as freely as Guo Jia. Their thoughts had already flown to the Yellow River. When Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River, it meant that the Yuan-Cao War would officially start.

"Stupid and short-sighted, advances lightly and retreats easily, hurts the people and loses the nose, and loses many masters and apprentices... Chen Lin is brilliant in writing, but her words are not true. Cao Cao really underestimated the enemy and rushed in when he beat Dong Zhuo. Zhongfu almost killed Jiuquan, but What was Yuan Shao doing at that time? Heh heh, although a literati's pen is terrifying, it can't escape the influence of others."

Guo Jia was walking and watching in the hall holding the petition, and suddenly stopped beside Qin Mi, raised his head and asked, "Ziyu, if Yuan Shao came to attack me today, how would Chen Lin scold me?"

Qin Mi said indifferently, "It's ten times and a hundred times more ruthless than scolding Cao Cao."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Guo Jia laughed out loud.

Indeed, Guo Jia is self-aware. What he did in Yizhou is looked down upon by many contemporary celebrities, because it violates their interests, current interests, and future interests.

After laughing, Guo Jia continued to lower his head to read this classic essay on thieves.

There are two reasons why contemporary celebrities hate Cao Cao and disdain to be with him. One is innate, which is Cao Cao's background, and the other is acquired, which is Cao Cao's actions.

This essay made it very clear, enumerating Cao Cao's crimes.

Zhao Yan was killed while celebrities were killed, Taiwei Yang Biao was tortured, the imperial tomb was excavated, and the emperor Liu Xie was placed under house arrest.

These are all facts, no matter what the reason is, no one can quibble with the fait accompli.

"The shogunate honored the majestic spirit of the Han Dynasty and charged into the universe; there are millions of halberds, and thousands of horses; the men who are fighting for Huang Yuhuo, the strength of the bow and crossbow... Alas!"

Guo Jia stopped speaking suddenly, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Yan Yan, with white temples and silver beard, asked inexplicably, "My lord, why are you sighing?"

Zhen Yao, who was standing on the civil servant's side, smiled lightly, "My lord, it's a pity that a person with outstanding literary talents like Chen Lin can't be used for himself."

Guo Jiaang raised his head and sighed: "Chen Lin's article is majestic, sonorous and powerful, and it is hard to calm down. Just reading his article can reduce the enemy's momentum by two points, and at the same time, it is like Yuan Shao's mighty army is close at hand. In front of you, Mount Tai is pressing down on the top, making people more stressed."

Guo Jia likes pragmatic talents, but it does not mean that he denies poetry and poetry. Like Chen Lin, Cao Zhi, Cao Cao and other literary figures in the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, some of their articles are concise, some are gorgeous, and some are beautiful. Some are lyrical, some are realistic, and so on, Guo Jia reads it, and his mood will always be brightened. Even if Chen Lin is a vase, it is a beautiful thing to stay by his side and write poems for him to appreciate. thing.

"Extend your might, and reinstate the state... Hehe, if Yuan Shao really wiped out Cao Cao, the state he assisted, I don't know if his surname is Liu or not. Yo, Chen Lin is too flattering on me. This list of princes in the world actually puts me in the I took the first position, hehe, I dare not take it, I don’t dare to take it.”

Strictly speaking, this call-to-action is to inform the people of the world, but it is also passed on to all the princes. The final list of princes from all over the country, Guo Jia, as the Hussar General, Yizhou Mu ranked first, and the one behind him was General Zuo, Liu Bei who led the governor of Yuzhou.

Guo Jia walked to the main seat and put the calligraphic document on the low table, and just turned around, looking at the distant outdoor.

Zhang Yan, a tall and straight man in full armor, came striding forward, holding a square box in his hand. After stepping into the hall, he saluted Guo Jia and offered the square box in his hand.

"My lord, the last general has fulfilled his mission. Zhang Baiqi has already been put to death, and the last general has not lost a single soldier."

Zhang Yan's face was indifferent. He trapped Zhang Baiqi outside Hanping County for more than two years. In the end, Zhang Baiqi's army was defeated in Hanping County. A month ago, Zhang Baiqi wanted to forcibly cross the river to break out of the siege, but Zhang Yan easily shot and killed his troops with only a few hundred people around him.

Guo Jia looked down at the square box in Zhang Yan's hand, there must be Zhang Baiqi's head inside, but Guo Jia was no longer interested in looking at the head that made him gnash his teeth with hatred.

In two years, if Zhang Yan hadn't been stationed outside Hanping County, Guo Jia might have forgotten about Zhang Baiqi.

Guo Jia couldn't hold so many little people in his heart, and Guo Jiasheng couldn't feel the slightest pleasure in killing such clowns.

Waving casually, Guo Jia said: "Feiyan has worked hard, suppressing chaos and suppressing thieves. Feiyan has made great achievements. Let's rest for a while. Later, I will personally hold a banquet for you to celebrate."

Zhang Yan clasped his fists loudly and said: "My lord, the last general invites you to fight. The decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is imminent. If my lord wants to march eastward, please let the last general be the vanguard."

All the civil and military personnel in the hall were waiting for Guo Jia to bring up this topic, but it was Zhang Yan who started the topic.

The call to action against thieves arrived, and Yuan Shao's troops were gradually gathering on the north bank of the Yellow River. The main battlefield must be in the Central Plains, because Yuan Shao crossed the river to attack, he took the initiative, and Cao Cao was passive.

Although Zhang Yan wiped out Zhang Baiqi, in fact, it was enough to besiege Hanping County in the past two years. The most amazing move was to dig a canal around the city outside Hanping County to let Hanping County became an "island".

In the battle of Guanzhong, Zhang Yan did not participate in the battle in Jingzhou. Zhou Tai was also leading the army.

However, Guo Jia really did not intend to take Zhang Yan to the Central Plains.

"Feiyan, don't be impatient, I will give Feiyan an answer after I think it over."

It is a good thing for your generals to ask for a battle, but you have to arrange deployment according to the actual situation. Marching and fighting, as a coach, the most taboo is to waver and obey others.

Zhang Yan was extremely disappointed when she heard Guo Jia's gentle words.

Guo Jia didn't say no, but it was actually very obvious.

In the Central Plains, Zhang Yan will still stay in Yizhou.

Somewhat disappointed, he walked to Yan Yan's side, Zhang Yan did not go down to rest, but stayed to participate in the discussion.

Guo Jia stood in front of the main seat for a long time with his back to Wenwu. Hanging on the wall was a map of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. This layout was just like his wooden house at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Both Wen and Wu bowed their heads slightly, calmly waiting for Guo Jia's deployment.

Whether to unite with Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shao, or to help Yuan Shao destroy Cao Cao, or to neutralize or make an enemy of the world, only Jia Xu really knows Guo Jia's decision, but Jia Xu must be a tight-lipped person, such as Xu Shu who is far away in Guanzhong, the law Right, Pang Tong can only discuss Guo Jia's next strategic move in private.

Guo Jia, who has always acted unexpectedly, may understand what kind of decision he makes as an accident. Even if someone guesses it, they may not be able to see all the details.

"Qin Mi, write a military order for me to send to Zhou Tai in Badong and Gan Ning in Hanzhong. The navy has been established for two years and has begun to take shape. Order the navy to enter the river on board and set up on the border between Jingzhou and Yizhou. Let's start the battle, and I will make Liu Biao so worried that he can't even sleep."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Qin Mi came out to take orders.

No one objected, Guo Jia's first order was incomprehensible to outsiders. Perhaps he should have set his sights on the Central Plains where the Yuan-Cao battle took place, but he took the initiative to provoke Liu Biao at this time, which is puzzling.

But those who are familiar with Guo Jia understand that it is Guo Jia who is tirelessly paralyzing the enemy and diverting the enemy's attention.

The war between Yuan and Cao will not end overnight, but at the beginning of their war, Guo Jia's navy pointed directly at Jingzhou, making outsiders think that Guo Jia was planning to plot Jingzhou.

This is not unreasonable. Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides. Although Liu Biao is sandwiched between Guo Jia, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce, he is actually a bit more stable.

Because it is not easy to annex Liu Biao, who has an army of 20, Cao, Sun and Guo, whoever fights Jingzhou, may be the result of a loss for both sides and a benefit for others.

When Cao Cao fights Jingzhou, at the end of the war, Guo Jia can go to end, Sun Ce fights Jingzhou, Cao Cao goes to pick up the bargain, Guo Jia fights Jingzhou, Cao Cao and Sun Ce come to share a share.

This situation is thankless.

However, with the background of the Yuan-Cao battle, Guo Jia won't have any worries about the Central Plains when he fights Jingzhou. At most, he is Sun Ce, the weakest of the three families.

From the perspective of outsiders, no matter how fierce Sun Ce is, he may not be Guo Jia's opponent.

What opponents did Sun Ce defeat?What kind of opponent did Guo Jia defeat?
Bullying the weak, sweeping away one thousand and one thousand, is not as admirable as defeating a strong one.

Who is the strongest prince in the world?Undoubtedly it was Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was Guo Jia's defeated general.

Because of this, once Guo Jia's navy enters the river, outsiders will not know Guo Jia's real plan.

It is difficult for Cao Cao to protect himself now, so how can he care about the situation in Jingzhou?

First, the navy attacked Jingzhou with great fanfare, so Guo Jia's next move would not be too dazzling.

"Yan Yan, I order you to lead the army to the north of Guanzhong within a month, and at the same time give Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Wu Yi my password, and order them to gradually station the army at Hangu Pass in a month and a half. Two months later, I will go north to Guanzhong in person, and at the same time, I will pay close attention to the situation in the Central Plains, the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and I will get news at least three times a day."

Yan Yan stepped forward to accept the order with fists folded, and Zhang Yan's last hope by his side finally came to naught.

Turning around suddenly, Guo Jia's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Listen up, everyone. Although I am based in Kansai, I am in the overall situation of the world. If I stand by and watch the battle of Yuan Cao, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Yuan Shaosheng, Cao Cao lost his family Lost, the Central Plains fell, Yuan Shao is far from winning the world? Cao Cao won, Yuan Shao will never be able to touch the Central Plains again in his lifetime, but Cao Cao is a more ruthless and stronger enemy than Yuan Shao. If such an enemy does not seize the opportunity to kill it as soon as possible, I will be the victim of it.”
