The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 349 I Want Jingzhou
Yizhou Prefecture

The main seat in the lobby is vacant, and all the civil servants in Chengdu who are in charge of political affairs are present.

Lu Su sat at the last seat, with his sleeves wide open, looking like a loyal and honest man.

In terms of appearance, everyone will present a general visual sense.

For example, Xu Shu is upright, Qin Mi is modest and gentleman, Zhang Song is ugly and smart, Peng Yifa is upright and arrogant, etc., but Lu Su definitely thinks that this person is not the kind of cunning person who is good at deceit at a glance.

Lu Su called on everyone present one by one, then went straight to the point, cupped his hands in the direction where Xi Zhicai was kneeling, and said, "My lords, the Cao thief swallowed Jingzhou and attacked Jiangdong, and the world is in danger. If Jiangdong is lost, the Han Dynasty will never recover. , Cao thief's ambition to change the dynasty is clearly revealed. In the past, there were Yuan brothers, Liu Jingzhou and my lord in Kanto, and now only my lord is left to resist Cao thief. I come here, hoping that all adults can write a letter to Guo Shi at this moment Sir, please ask Guo Shijun to use all his strength to attack Luoyang in Chang'an."

Including Sun Quan, Lu Su and others believed that it was impossible for Guo Jia's soldiers and horses to fight Cao Jun on both sides of Yizhou and Guanzhong, which was not in line with the law of war.Yizhou does have a navy, but that is the last line of defense in Yizhou, and there are only [-]. If the [-] navy is defeated by Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will not only try to dominate Jingzhou and swallow the east of the river, but even Yizhou will be captured in one go.

Guo Jia wanted to protect himself. First of all, the defense line of the naval forces in Hanzhong and Badong could not be moved.

Secondly, Guo Jia's main forces are all in the north. Cao Cao led his troops to the south, and the defensive force in the Sili area will naturally be greatly reduced. This is the best time for Guo Jia to sweep the Central Plains.

As long as Luoyang is captured by Guo Jia, especially before Cao Cao goes to war with Jiangdong, then Cao Cao must first ensure his own way of retreat, and the road to progress will be made difficult by the loss of the rear.

Another point is that it is unrealistic for Lu Su and Sun Quan to expect Guo Jia to withdraw all the troops from Chang'an to Yizhou and then join forces with Jiangdong to attack Cao Jun in Jingzhou.

How can a tired army fight after a long journey?
Besides, will Cao Cao form a united front with Jiangdong Time and Guo Jia in the south?
Now Cao Jun is integrating troops and horses in Jingzhou. The purpose is to allow the soldiers in the north to have a buffer period of physiological adaptation, overcome the acclimatization of the soil and water, and become familiar with water warfare.

Cao Cao's only disadvantage is that soldiers and horses are not acclimatized to water and soil and are not good at water warfare.

As for the consequences of this proposal made by Lu Su himself, Jiangdong Group is not considering it for the time being.

If Guo Jia sweeps the Central Plains, to what extent will his power become stronger in the future, or will he become the second Cao Cao?Jiang Dong didn't have time to think about this, the immediate danger of overthrowing the nest was what they were thinking about.

Xi Zhicai, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, and Qin Mi all remained silent, looking down in thought.

But the other counselors were actually more or less panicked.

Cao Cao's attempt to dominate Jingzhou not only brought his power to a higher level, but also blocked Guo Jia's eastward expansion. The remaining road was in the north, and the news of the war there was not optimistic.

Zhang Liao was unable to attack outside Luoyang for a long time.

Huang Quan said helplessly to Lu Su: "Mr. Zijing, to be honest, my lord is just on his way back to Chengdu, why don't you stay in Chengdu for a few more days, and when my lord returns, tell me about Marquis Wu's proposal in person. host?"

"What? Mr. Guo is returning to Chengdu?"

Lu Su turned pale with shock.

If Guo Jia withdraws his troops, then Cao Cao will not even have any worries in the rear!

Peng Yi, who was sitting in the opposite seat at the end, looked at Lu Su with disdain, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, a few months ago, my lord wanted to go out to Hangu Pass to fight against the bandits Cao, and invited Marquis Wu to raise troops from the east to respond, how did Marquis Wu treat him? If you agree, you agree, and if you don’t agree, you shouldn’t even send a reply letter regardless of etiquette, right? Now? The Cao thief wants to sweep Jiangdong, but Wuhou came to ask my lord for help instead? Why bother if I knew today?”

As soon as Peng Yi finished speaking, the colleagues beside him smiled wryly.

This person has committed an old problem again!

It's not easy to say that the villain is successful.

Guo Jia beat Peng Yi and Fazheng, and they restrained a lot, at least they didn't show that arrogant face to their colleagues, Guo Jia didn't worry about these.

Now facing foreign officials and Jiangdong's envoys, Peng Yi inevitably reverted to his old ways, and made a lot of cynicism and domineering.

Calling for help now?

What are you doing so early?
If Sun Quan raised troops from the east and Guo Jia attacked Cao Cao from both sides, would the situation develop to this day?

If Guo Jia was present, he would have told Peng Yi an exact answer: no matter whether Sun Quan sent troops or not, the situation would develop to the same situation as it is now.

Of the people present, only Xi Zhicai, Qin Mi, Pang Tong, and Jia Xu were well aware of it. These four people all participated in the formulation and deployment of Guo Jia's plan to destroy Cao.

Lu Su showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "At that time, Jiangdong had important matters that needed to be distracted by my lord. When Guo Shijun's letter reached my lord, it had been delayed for a long time. For this, my lord will make amends in the next generation."

The corner of Peng Yang's mouth raised into a disdainful sneer.

Whether this is the case or not, everyone knows it well.

Guo Jia's letter was sent to Jiangdong, who would dare to delay it?Who dares to neglect?Not to mention it was written to Sun Quan, it was written to Cao Cao, and none of Cao Cao's subordinates dared to take it lightly.

Didn't Sun Quan just want to watch the Guo and Cao families fight each other and reap the benefits?
The dream of sitting back and enjoying the success was shattered, but the fire burned to the door of my house, hehe, it deserves it.

Xi Zhicai, who could really represent Guo Jia, coughed twice, and Peng Yi, who wanted to open his mouth to sarcastically, immediately shut up and his expression returned to normal.

"Mr. Zijing, my lord did not withdraw his troops from Guanzhong, but just handed over the war in the north to General Wen Yuan. I must know that Cao Cao went south and deployed heavy troops on the north and south sides of Luoyang to guard against my lord. If my lord If we really want to attack Luoyang by force, I am afraid that we must use all our strength. Otherwise, this battle will be difficult to fight."

What Xi Zhicai said was the truth, without any concealment.

Lu Su also knew that Cao Cao had a total of [-] soldiers in Wancheng and Shanyang, forming a tripartite force with Luoyang. The reason why the army is unable to advance an inch.

Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Zhang Liao went out to attack Luoyang with all his strength, Hangu Pass was attacked by the opponent and occupied the pass city. The area around Sili would be in a situation of strong walls and clear fields. At that time, it would be easy to lose hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of troops. , and more importantly, even Guanzhong is in danger of falling.

How could Lu Su not know about these situations?
But he still made a bitter statement and said: "My lords, imagine if Bandit Cao dominates Jiangdong. At that time, with [-]% of the world in his hands, can Mr. Guo be able to live in Kansai all the time?"

All the people present were smart people, and Lu Su's words were easy to understand, and everyone could understand them.

These, they are also well aware.

We can't let Cao Cao take down even Jiangdong, otherwise, Guo Jia's prosperity today is just the light of a firefly, and it will be difficult to compete with Cao Weizhi's bright moon.

But so what?They are all ministers, so they can't make the decision for Guo Jia, can they?

Lu Su didn't force these advisers to agree, but just hoped to win them over to persuade Guo Jia.

Just as the hall was in a stalemate, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the hall.

"Hahaha, I heard that Lu Zijing came to Jincheng alone, did he come to serve me?"

Just in autumn, Guo Jia walked in wearing a cloak, untied the cloak as he walked by the door, and threw it to the guard at the door. He stepped into the hall in a dark red brocade robe, searched his eyes and saw Strange face: Lu Su.

Lu Su stared dumbfounded at Guo Jia, who was wearing a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

This opening remark just poached the wall?

What an alternative monarch!

Lu Su quickly got up and left the table, and bowed respectfully to Guo Jia.

"I'm Lu Su, named Zijing. On behalf of my lord, I would like to send my greetings to the envoy."

Guo Jia waved his hand, stared at Lu Su and asked, "Zijing, you haven't answered my question yet. Why don't you come to Chengdu to be an official. With your talent, Yizhou Prefecture will definitely have a seat for you to show your strengths."

Lu Su smiled wryly, and said in a terrified tone: "I serve my lord wholeheartedly, and I dare not have two hearts. Thank you for your love."

Guo Jia turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai and the others, shrugged his shoulders dispiritedly, and walked slowly towards the main seat.

Lu Su wiped his sweat away, but Guo Jia asked him another sentence with his back turned, which made him almost slump on the ground.

"Zijing, Zijing, when will your lord establish the title of emperor and seek to dominate the world?"

All eyes in the hall were focused on Lu Su's face, but Lu Su's expression was shocked.

Guo Jia casually stretched out his sleeves and sat down on his knees, looking at Lu Su with a relaxed smile.

Build the title of emperor to map the world!
This is what Lu Su said to Sun Quan when he met Sun Quan for the first time after Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong.

That is comparable to Longzhong's best strategy, which is the strategic line outlined by Lu Su for Sun Quan!
Although Lu Su seems to be a loyal and honest person, he is definitely a person with extraordinary talents.

But he is definitely not someone who wants to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he wants to be a minister of the new dynasty!
Otherwise, he would not suggest that Sun Quan proclaim himself emperor.

But how did Guo Jia know these words?

Lu Su was dazed and terrified.

"You are joking, my lord is all about helping the Han family, how could he try to usurp the Han like the Cao thief?"

Lu Su lowered his head to defend himself, not daring to look at Guo Jia's half-smile.

Even if the princes of the world have ambitions to be emperors, they dare not show their ambitions outside. Cao Cao has been scolded as a usurper since before the Battle of Guandu, so it seems natural for Cao Cao to take this title for granted.

In order to skip this topic as soon as possible, Lu Su's face straightened, he folded his hands and faced Guo Jia, and was about to ask Guo Jia to attack Luoyang with all his strength in the north, but Guo Jia raised his hand to stop him from talking.

"Zijing, I have already guessed the reason for your visit. Thief Cao wants to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and I will not let him succeed. Don't worry, I will send troops from Hanzhong and Badong to help Jiangdong to overcome this difficulty."

Lu Su was very moved when he heard the words before, and felt that Guo Jia, the monarch, was courageous and unambiguous!

Straight to the point!

However, the last sentence made Lu Su suspicious.

If Guo Jia sent troops from Yizhou, would he have soldiers?Is it really risky to throw the navy into the war against Cao Cao?
Cao Cao himself brought 20 soldiers and horses to the south, and surrendered 20 Jingzhou troops. This adds up to 40 soldiers and horses. Does Guo Jia have the confidence to win with a [-] navy army?

Wouldn't it be perfunctory?

Guo Jia's expression was solemn, and when Lu Su was thinking, he said again: "However, I have one condition. After breaking Cao Cao, Jingzhou will belong to me."
