The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 280 The Thief of Everything
The room was silent, and the bookshelves against the wall were filled with countless bamboo slips, neatly and clearly classified.

In front of the bookshelf, Guo Jia, who was wearing a coat, flipped through the bamboo slips with soft movements and calm eyes. He scanned the words on the bamboo slips, rolled them up and put them back on the bookshelf, and then picked up the next scroll, and so on.

After returning to Chengdu from Guanzhong, Guo Jia's life remained the same. He neither lost his temper nor sighed. He spent most of his day in his study reading books.

In fact, he has already seen the bamboo slips on the bookshelf. In this era of lack of entertainment, Guo Jia doesn't like to go out to hunt, and he doesn't miss brothels. It is enough to listen to songs and dance, and have a few fairy-like wives and concubines impromptu performances. up.

Doesn't Guo Jia, who withdrew from Guanzhong, have any emotions?
No, he has.

He guessed that it was Cao Cao or Yuan Shao who planned the rebellion in the south, and the possibility of Cao Cao was nine points, and Yuan Shao was only one point.

He has no resentment towards Cao Cao, nor towards Meng Huo, Gao Ding, Yong Kai and others.

After returning to Chengdu and arranging the military deployment for the rebellion in the south, Guo Jia began to reflect on himself, reviewing his strategic plans over the years, and weighing the pros and cons.

If he didn't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, how could there be such a shocking change at such a critical moment?

He has read a lot of books on the art of war and studied them in depth, but what he is holding in his hand now is his favorite book in the past.

"Yin Fu Jing"!
The focus of this book on the art of war is to pay attention to the use of troops to coincide with the weather.

"Heaven and earth are the thieves of all things. All things are the thieves of people. People are the thieves of all things. The three thieves are appropriate, and the three talents are safe. Therefore, it is said: "When the time is eaten, the bones are buried.Move it, Wan Hua'an. "People know their gods and become gods, and they don't know whether they are gods or not, so they are gods. The sun and the moon are numbered, and the size is determined. The holy power is born, and the gods are born. The stealth is also the world. No one can see, no one can know. The gentleman has it firmly. If you are poor, the villain will take his life lightly."

Guo Jia sighed, slowly closed the bamboo slips, and put them back on the bookshelf.

Without continuing to read other books, Guo Jia stared at the bookshelf in a daze.

He can predict the direction of the general trend of the world. No one in this world knows better than him when a god-given opportunity will appear and when a shocking change will occur.

But can you compete in the world with this kind of experience alone?
In the past, Guo Jia thought it was possible.

Now, he laughs at his ignorance.

The rebellion in the south is the best example. The reason is that Guo Jia himself was negligent, and at the same time he was eager for quick success.

If you go to Pingnan before Guandu, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the battle of Guandu.

In the past, the south was hardly included in the chess game of the world. Now that Guo Jia thinks about it, he was wrong, but any member of the thirteen states in the world has the energy and factors to affect the world.

"Extraordinary and positive coincidence, with correct combination, with odd victory."

Guo Jia raised his head and muttered softly to himself.

In the past, he pursued "Qi Sheng" too much, but instead he underestimated "Zhenghe". of.

Perhaps, when the strength is weak, when facing the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, ingenuity will often play a key role.

But today, with Guo Jia's territory and strength, if he still pursues such false tricks, he will fall behind.

Who in the world would dare to attack Guo Jia?
Yuan Shao, who couldn't afford to be ill and fled back to Hebei, dared not!

Cao Cao, who was also severely injured after winning the Battle of Guandu, dared not!

Liu Biao, who begged for perfection, did not dare!
Sun Quan, who is eager to stabilize the internal affairs and secure the dominant position, is even more afraid!

Since no one dared to attack Guo Jia, why did Guo Jia play falsely?

Swallowing the south and annexing the northwest, all the forces in Kansai were swept away openly and squarely. Guo Jia no longer needed to hide his strength or deliberately paralyze the enemy.

After unifying Kansai, Guo Jia will replace Yuan Shao as the most eye-catching vassal in the world.

Yuan Shao was so powerful that no one dared to attack him.

Guo Jia replaced Yuan Shao, and he also wanted to see who would dare to provoke him.

The door of the study room was open, and the sunlight came in from the outside, but Guo Jia could feel the light being blocked with his back to the door. Looking back, he vaguely saw a person's head shrinking back from the door.

He stared at the door with a faint smile, and after a while, someone really looked at him from outside with his head out.

"Rong'er, what are you playing again?"

Guo Jia couldn't laugh or cry, Zhen Rong poked his head and looked at him secretly, and closed his eyes immediately after he found out, this ostrich is too cute.

Being caught by Guo Jia, Zhen Rong walked in timidly, came to Guo Jia, and whispered with frustration and shame: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just want to take a look outside the door you."

Guo Jia stroked his short, not-so-luxury beard, and asked, "What's so good about me? It's not like you haven't seen it before."

Zhen Rong took another two steps towards Guo Jia, took Guo Jia's hand with her tender little hand, lowered her head and said softly: "Sister Cai said that brother-in-law is unhappy, so I will accompany brother-in-law."

Guo Jia flicked her on the forehead in a disrespectful manner, and said with a light smile, "If you believe everything she says, then you are the stupidest fool in the world."

Zhen Rong rubbed her forehead and lifted her face, looked at Guo Jiawen's face, after staring silently for a long time, she shook her head and said, "Sister Cai is right, brother-in-law must be very upset."

Guo Jia seldom loses his temper, and everyone around him knows that when Guo Jia loses his temper, he never vents his anger by beating, beating or cursing, but instead gives people a strange and trembling calm.

When he should be furious most, he often shows an unusually quiet state. In this situation, his family members said to comfort him, but Guo Jia did not make any angry moves after all. Facing Guo Jia at this time, civil and military officials often You should also choose your words carefully. If you can't say a word well, you will offend Guo Jia, and the consequences will be disastrous.

But this time, Guo Jia's calmness matched his inner activities.

He seized the opportunity of the Kwantung Army to defeat Dong.

He also seized the opportunity for the emperor to return to Luoyang.

He missed the opportunity of the Guandu battle.

If he catches up with every opportunity, then this world is too easy to fight, as long as you just sit and wait and prepare for the next opportunity, wouldn't you only need to follow the steps to win the championship in the world?
Thinking about it the other way around, Guo Jia was well prepared for the first two opportunities, but Guo Jia was actually eager for quick success in the battle of Guandu. Negligence, in fact, is that he can't wait to catch up with the battle of Guandu. If he is steady and steady, and Pingnan takes over the northwest to manage Guanzhong, Guo Jia's pace will definitely not be able to keep up with the battle of Yuan Cao.

Therefore, if he didn't seize the opportunity this time, if he missed it, he would miss it. Guo Jia would not feel sorry. It was because he himself was not well prepared, and the urgency of time was the root cause.

Withdrawing his hand from Zhen Rong, Guo Jia picked up another book and flipped through it. He shook his head and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I can only tell you that I have nothing to be unhappy about."

There must be reasons for happiness and anger, and neither happiness nor anger is just a normal state.

Zhen Rong also picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the bookshelf, and stood beside Guo Jia to read them.

"Brother-in-law must be unhappy, I'm here to accompany you."

After a short period of time, Zhen Rong's movement of holding the scroll did not change, but his eyes kept secretly observing Guo Jia's reaction.

Looking straight at the bamboo slips, Guo Jia asked softly, "Can you understand the book?"

Zhen Rong blurted out: "Of course I understand."

"Then do you know what book you are holding?"

"Um?……"

Zhen Rong quickly looked at the scroll in her hand, wanting to cry, but she couldn't tell which book it was written on.

Rolling up the bamboo slips and knocking on Zhen Rong's head, Guo Jia glanced at the scroll in her hand, smiled lightly and said, "What you are holding is "Three Strategies", that's enough, Rong Er's heart, I appreciate it, My brother-in-law is very touched, it's not early, let's have dinner together in the mansion."

Zhen Rong didn't feel embarrassed. He touched his head and showed a sweet smile. He walked out holding Guo Jia's arm, and said excitedly, "Sister Qiao's family is cooking in person today. I'm lucky."

Coming to the lobby of the inner courtyard, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing and said: "The people are so neat, is this Guo's Mansion or Zhen's Mansion?"

Not only Guo Jia's wives and concubines and two sons were present, but the other four sisters of the Zhen family were also present.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, who are completely heartless, can only get away with smiles. Zhen Rong holds Guo Jia's arm and doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all. The only one with a bit of embarrassment on his face is Zhen Mi , It seems that he really retreated and wanted to move away.

"Sister, shall I go home?"

Zhen Mi said timidly to Zhen Jiang.

Zhen Jiang took her hand and walked towards the dining table, and said gently: "He was just joking, don't take it to heart."

It is indeed a joke, Guo Jia likes to have more lively meals, warm and carefree.

He personally greeted the other sisters of the Zhen family to join the table, and Guo Jia invited the two sons to his side. After finishing one left and one right, Guo Jia looked at Guo Ye, who is now a handsome young man, and asked thoughtfully: "Ye Son, how long have you been studying martial arts?"

Guo Ye thought for a while, and replied: "My child has been learning martial arts with Uncle Xiao and several generals since he was six years old, and it has been six or seven years now."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "In a few days, go to the military camp in the city and let me see your academic achievements. In addition, call all the boys from Xu Yi Gan Gui Dianman and let me have a look at you guys. Is the stinky boy really capable of sneaking out of the city every three days, if he is not good at punching and kicking, don't even think about going out for fun in the future."

Guo Ye agreed casually, without any nervousness.

Turning his head, Guo Jia looked at Guo Jin again. The kid looked dodgy, and Guo Jia played with it: "Is Jin'er still unwilling to practice martial arts?"

Guo Jin loves literature and hates martial arts, which caused Guo Jia a lot of headaches. The children didn't want to learn, and Guo Jia didn't want to use coercion.

Guo Jin shook his head, lowered his head to eat, he just didn't like to practice martial arts, and the stinky sweat made him unbearable.

Guo Jia does not force him, but there are minimum requirements.

"Jiang'er, in a few days, you take Jin'er to the Heavenly Master Palace, and ask Zuo Ci to teach Jin'er a set of boxing techniques for health preservation. He doesn't need to practice martial arts, and I don't expect any son to become unstoppable in the future. He is a brave player, but at least his physical fitness must pass the test."

Zhen Jiang quickly agreed.
