The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 343
Holding up Da Qiao's soft and beautiful face by the bed, before Guo Jia opened his mouth to comfort her, Da Qiao closed his eyes tightly and said resolutely: "If my husband really wants to send a son to Xuchang, I should choose Yu'er."

There are no princes in the world who care about the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but after all, it is an imperial edict, Guo Jia can choose to ignore it, he is not afraid of the consequences, but a woman like Da Qiao has a natural irresistible tendency towards imperial edicts in her heart.

"Why bother? Who said I'm going to send my son to Xuchang?"

Guo Jia's mouth was full of bitterness.

This was originally a political incident, but now it has caused panic among the people, and there is no peace in the family. The scowls on their faces, as if the doomsday is coming, made Guo Jia feel very uncomfortable.

Da Qiao raised her hand to caress the back of Guo Jia's hand holding her face, her face was full of sadness, but she said firmly: "The day I met my husband, I knew that this world needs a husband. If sacrifices are destined, even if I have everything in my heart I don't want to give up, and I don't want to be a burden to my husband."

As he spoke, tears fell like rain.

Guo Jia took the handkerchief from her other hand, wiped her tears hastily, and said distressedly: "Is it because I didn't understand clearly? I never said that I would send my son to Xuchang. Does it mean that I didn't refuse in public?" I agree? Well, well, I will solemnly tell you now that I will not send anyone to Xuchang, and sending them to Xuchang is also sending them to death, does it make sense? Also, those who say that Yuer is not doing a proper job, they are ignorant and short-sighted Let me tell you, I am very satisfied with Yu'er. It is a very good thing that he is willing to study craftsmanship. If he achieves something, it will benefit the country and the people, and it will even benefit thousands of years."

Da Qiao was stunned by Guo Jia's words.

She can accept the first half of the sentence, whether to resist the order or obey the order, it is Guo Jia's thought, as long as Guo Jia says no, besides conquering by force, what can Cao Cao do against him?

In the second half of the sentence, Da Qiao felt that Guo Jia was confused?

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, whether they are carpenters or craftsmen, have a very low social status. It is common for ordinary people to seek a livelihood and engage in industry.

But Guo Jia's status, with such a son, outsiders' gossip has long made Guo Yu useless, and even insulted Guo's family style.

Da Qiao didn't want Guo Yu to really engage in this industry in the future. He used to be a child of Guo Yu and played with his heart. Later, he found that this was not the case. Enthusiastic.

"Husband, there is no need to comfort this concubine. I only hope that Yu'er will be safe and sound. I don't expect anything else."

Da Qiao said with a wry smile.

Guo Jia gave her a helpless look, and asked back: "Don't look down on Yu'er's hobbies. Think about it, who is responsible for the farming tools, water conservancy construction, and equipment improvement of the people under my rule now?" People in the world are just like you, looking down on Ma Deheng who is truly talented. Can poetry and songs be used as food? Can it make the harvest more? Can it make the armor and weapons of soldiers stronger and sharper? Ma Deheng give it to me The contribution is no less than tens of millions of shiqian and grain, and to make a prince, or even a country, prosperous and strong, talents like Ma Deheng are the most critical talents. Do you understand productivity? Forget it, why do I tell you these things, you just need Remember, no matter what others think of Yu'er, you and I are his parents, we should support him unconditionally, encourage him, let him not give up, and devote himself wholeheartedly to the career he loves."

If it was an ordinary family working hard to make a living, Guo Jia would definitely not support Guo Yu's hobbies, which might not achieve success in his life, because people must be down-to-earth, if they can't even guarantee their lives, what hobbies are they talking about?Realizing dreams also starts from reality.

But now Guo Jia's family has a great career, and his descendants can live comfortably, so they can develop their hobbies and devote themselves to an industry without any worries.

Da Qiao was taken aback by Guo Jia's lesson, and she didn't recover for a long time. In the end, she showed a helpless smile.

"My husband always says something like this that makes people think for a long time, and I listen to my husband. It's not early, is my husband resting here today?"

Guo Jia looked at her tear-stained face after crying, and pulled her up to walk outside.

"Look at your cat face, walk around, take a bath before going to bed."

Da Qiao pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly, obediently followed behind Guo Jia. When she left the room, she had to look around to see if anyone was passing by. She didn't want outsiders to see the tears on her face.

For several days in a row, the atmosphere in the Yizhou Mansion Chamber was very dignified. The military generals advocated fighting, and the civil servants did not object, but they also did not agree.

Guo Jia has not expressed his position, wanting to see who will come to him to make a compromise suggestion.

But these days, no one came to see Guo Jia in private. Guo Jia laughed at himself. This kind of thing is to shoot the first bird. Without a high-ranking person to take the lead, even if the lower-level officials follow the wind, they will not be able to express their intentions.

Fortunately, the upper echelon of the ruling can work together and there are no differences of opinion. This sign can make Guo Jia feel at ease internally, because in the future, his energy will be focused on external strategies.

As soon as Guo Jia sat down in the meeting hall that day, the generals below began to speak to Guo Jia.

"My lord, the current situation, the general understands, isn't it that Jingzhou Mu is about to die? We don't care if he kills him, as long as we send troops to wipe out Cao Cao first, and then take over Jingzhou in turn, it's over? The final general is not boasting, It’s not arrogance, if you fight Cao Cao with swords and guns, the vanguard will let me take the lead, if you lose, it’s not a pity for the last general to die, the lord retreats and protects himself.”

Dian Wei's tone was half impatient, half full of fighting spirit.

The military generals were most annoyed by the ink marks. The civil servants didn’t speak up, and they actually opposed sending troops. The generals thought it was because the civil servants didn’t support it, so Guo Jia was hesitating. When Dian Wei spoke, he glanced at the civil servants.

It's a pity that on Wenchen's side, led by Xi Zhicai, the people who got down the line didn't respond.

After so many days of delay, it was time for Guo Jia to make a formal statement. Just as he was about to speak, a guard entered the hall to report.

"My lord, Ma Chao, the governor of Liangzhou, has hired his son. Please, my lord, agree to the marriage between the eldest lady and her son."

The guards were just passing on the message, indicating the meaning of the outsider.

Guo Jia looked outside the door. In the courtyard, someone was busy carrying the beautifully wrapped gift boxes, which seemed to be dowry gifts.

His face darkened, and Guo Jia jumped up against the crime.

"Nonsense! Who did Ma Chao send?"

The guard who came in to report immediately knelt down and replied: "Lieutenant Yang Qiu."

Guo Jia picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out the door, scolding furiously: "Tell Yang Qiu to go back! When can private matters be brought to Yizhou Mansion to discuss in a fair manner? Also, tell him to tell Ma Chao to do it. Do his job!"

Yang Qiu, who was waiting outside the door, heard Guo Jia's roar in the hall, and ran out of Yizhou mansion in fright. He thought it was a good job to be arranged by Ma Chao to come to Chang'an this time. Lord, it's a happy event no matter how you look at it.

But he didn't know that the powerful family in Yizhou wanted to marry Guo Jia, not only was Guo Jia rejected him, but he also warned other people not to think about his daughter.

Regarding Guo Jia's reaction, it was within the expectation of Wenwu in the hall.

First of all, Guo Jia hates the disregard of public and private affairs, and how can the marriage of children be discussed in Yizhou Prefecture?What do you think of this place?

Secondly, maybe Ma Chao didn't know Guo Jia's previous warning to the wealthy people in Yizhou, but this was Guo Jia's rebellion after all, and no one could offend it.

What should be given to the Ma family, Guo Jia gave more than everyone expected.

What was the status of the Ma family in the northwest before?There are only a few counties under the rule, and you have to worry about other people's crimes.

What now?Although Ma Chao's Liangzhou Inspector's position is not great, even the prefect of the county, Guo Jia gave him the power to mobilize troops. Apart from Ma Chao, under Guo Jia's command, only Zhang Liao has the power to mobilize troops in Chang'an, and It is only when defending.

Ma Chao sent someone to propose marriage, but there was no other explanation except marriage.

Putting away his anger, Guo Jia still stood and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, I'll give you five days to go back to the camp and prepare. After five days, I will take you and other soldiers to follow me north to Guanzhong. After joining forces with the Guanzhong soldiers and horses, we will attack Luoyang first!"

Tang Wenwu was shocked.

Guo Jia didn't even bother to pay attention to the imperial decree, and directly launched a war with Cao Cao.

After the generals were surprised, they immediately embraced the order.

On the civil servant's side, Xi Zhicai stepped out of the line, bowed and cupped his hands and said softly, "My lord, please think twice."

Afterwards, Peng Yi, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Qin Mi and others all came out to second the resolution, hoping that Guo Jia would seriously consider this decision.

Just like ignoring the generals' advice a few days ago, this time, Guo Jia just waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Wen and Wu dispersed, Guo Jia sat down with his eyes closed.

At this moment, the strategy of destroying Cao will officially begin.

With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Guo Jia muttered to himself: "Cao Mengde, I don't know who is going to trick you and me this time?"

The generals were actively preparing for the battle, and they left Yizhou Mansion briskly and eagerly, but most of the civil servants were frowning. Zhen Yan and Peng Yi got together and murmured, thinking about the pros and cons of sending troops this time.

"At this time, my lord is going north, I'm afraid there will be disadvantages but no benefits."

Although Zhen Yan's strategy is not outstanding, but this point of knowledge can still be seen.

Guo Jia's soldiers and horses went from Chengdu to Guanzhong. If there is a change in Jingzhou, and the naval forces of Hanzhong and Padong alone cannot sweep Jingzhou, it will not be as good as Cao Cao's direct attack on the Central Plains. Jingzhou has to be fast, the distance will be very different if it is long or short.

Peng Yi nodded in agreement with Zhen Yan's words, Jia Xu passed by the two of them, Peng Yi then turned to ask him: "Brother Wen He, do you know the Lord's intention to go north this time?"

No matter how you look at it, this gave Cao Cao the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou first, and Guo Jia couldn't afford to fight Cao Cao at this time.

Jia Xu looked calm, shook his head and sighed: "My lord's thoughts, I can't even guess."

With a salute, Jia Xu's humble expression returned to indifference the moment he turned and walked out.

In fact, he knew Guo Jia's intentions. Xi Zhicai, Pang Tong, and Qin Mi all knew about it, but they couldn't say it out loud.

Cao Cao wanted to distract Guo Jia's attention, and Guo Jia happened to march north as he wished.

It seems that it is in Cao Cao's arms.

Jia Xu showed a strange smile after a long absence.

Whose wishful thinking is louder?
