The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 35

The enemy is at hand, but Guo Jia wants to ask who is the enemy?

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai would naturally be Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou, but since Guo Jia asked this question, he naturally had other ideas.

The two temporarily suppressed the overwhelming anger in their hearts, and sat opposite Guo Jia, Guo Jia took out a cup and poured tea for the two of them, drank a cup first, and said: "Let's sort out the situation first, so that we can understand the current situation. "

The two praised each other, and immediately drank the tea. After drinking the tea, the anger was relieved, and they sat upright, waiting for the next article.

Guo Jia said softly: "The two of you came to Xuzhou City one step ahead of me. With the majestic and majestic image of the two, I am afraid that the big families in Xuzhou City have already paid attention to it secretly. into the ears of Xuzhou gentry."

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai nodded, this statement is true, the eyeliner of a wealthy family is indispensable at least where the foundation is located.

Guo Jia continued: "You two should understand Mi Zhu's intention to invite me. He wants to introduce me to Tao Gongzu to work for Xuzhou Mu. However, they will mistakenly think that the two of you are headed by me, as long as I serve Tao Gongzu, the two of you must follow closely."

Gan Ning curled his lips and said with a smile: "If Feng Xiaozhen votes for Tao Gongzu, I will not only leave with nothing, but also look down on you, Guo Fengxiao."

Zhou Tai also nodded in agreement.

Acknowledging the Lord is a matter of life and ideals. It is not a decision that can be made lightly and should not be hasty.

Guo Jia said: "Although the facts are so, the nobles in Xuzhou, including Mi Zhu, all think that I, Guo Jia, are an example of the three, so Mi Zhu wants to introduce me and let me enter the prefectural shogunate. The Xuzhou gentry internally responded, secondly, Xingba Youping was outstanding in martial arts, and Tao Gongzu could stand up to Cao Bao, Sun Guan Zangba and other Danyang faction generals after being reused, so the Xuzhou gentry would have the confidence to challenge Tao Gongzu and continue to protect their interests."

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who had never thought so deeply before, looked at each other, and they both admired Guo Jia. Zhou Tai sighed: "Listening to the words of the young grandpa, it's like seeing the sun through the clouds, it's suddenly enlightened."

Guo Jia waved his hand modestly, and continued: "But things have changed at this time, and before Mi Zhu introduced me, Mr. Tao's son came unexpectedly. He persuaded Tao Gongzu to send troops to come after coveting the beauty of Qiao and Qiao."

Frowning, Gan Ning asked doubtfully, "Tao Gongzu is so stupid? Did he help his son rob women?"

Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not. The pottery merchant must have another reason to persuade Tao Gongzu to send troops. It is difficult for me to understand the details, but I am sure of one thing. Tao Gongzu sent troops with a plan."

The two warriors widened their eyes and asked in unison, "What is the picture?"

Guo Jia tapped his knuckles rhythmically on the wooden table, and said lightly: "If you want to know what others want, you must know what others want. Tao Qian's foothold in Xuzhou is not stable. Killing me, Guo Jia, will be harmful and not beneficial to him, but He should have self-knowledge. I, Guo Jia, will not vote for him. However, Xingba is different from Youping. Tao Qian admits that subduing you two will be of great help to him to smooth out the opposition forces in Xuzhou. Therefore, he did not send troops for his son. Instead of robbing women, he is robbing generals for himself."

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai laughed together, leaning forward and back together, Gan Ning said disdainfully: "Tao Gongzu is so naive? He doesn't even look in the mirror, and he is worthy of someone to help?"

"It's just that, Tao Gongzu Yelang is so arrogant, he really laughed me to death." Zhou Tai's words were also full of disdain.

After the two had laughed, Guo Jiacai continued: "You two, now that we understand Tao Gongzu's intention to send troops, then think about it, if Tao Gongzu succeeds, who would be the least happy?"

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said in unison: "Mi Zhu."

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and looked at the two of them with admiration. Sometimes, thinking needs to be guided in order to succeed naturally. Therefore, when Guo Jia teaches children, he always asks them to think slowly, one by one, when everything is clear. It suddenly became clear.

"If Tao Gongzu personally recruited the two of them, even though the two of them also worked for Tao Gongzu, it would be very different from being introduced by Mi Zhu, because the two of them were on Tao Gongzu's side, and Mi Zhu hoped to lead the two through me, Guo Jia. I stand on the side of Xuzhou gentry. Therefore, Mi Zhu will definitely not let Tao Gongzu get what he wanted, so Mi Fang came to swindle me for the recipe of drunk fairy wine, and through Mi Zhen, he leaked to me the fact that the pottery coveted the beauty of Qiao and Qiao, trying to do everything possible Enrage me, let me and Tao Gongzu be at odds."

Zhou Tai slapped the table angrily and said: "Mi Zhu is so cruel, I almost fell for it, if Feng Xiao didn't stop me, I'm afraid I would have rushed out of the mansion just now to fight."

Gan Ning turned to Guo Jia with a sullen expression and said in a low voice: "Young Grandpa, Mi Zhu has evil intentions, I might as well act first, kidnap the Mi family brothers, and break out of Xuzhou City."

This proposal was approved by Zhou Tai.

But Guo Jia didn't agree, he scolded with a smile: "I've always told you to calm down, why are you always so impulsive? To tell you the truth, in my Guo Jia's eyes, both of you are rare generals in the world. As a general, you can't just rely on bravery, you also need resourcefulness. As the saying goes, if you don't have many soldiers, you need to be smart, and the generals are not brave. If you have a heart, it is better to plan and then act."

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were shocked, they didn't expect Guo Jia to have such high expectations for them, with their ambitions and abilities, they were deeply shocked, and they made Guo Jia their confidant.

Only then did the two calm down, and when they thought about it carefully, they were drenched in cold sweat. Zhou Tai sighed and said: "The little grandpa is far-sighted, and the two of us almost made a big mistake."

Guo Jia looked at the two with a smile and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Gan Ning nodded heavily, and said: "If the Mi family brothers are kidnapped, I am afraid that Tao Gongzu will not stop there, and will order to kill them immediately. If the Mi family brothers die unexpectedly, or Tao Gongzu secretly kills them in the chaos, the crime will be pushed to us body, then all the property of the Mi family will fall into the hands of Tao Gongzu."

Nodding approvingly, Guo Jia said: "Xing Ba's words are exactly what he wants. If Mi Zhu goes to persuade Tao Qian to stop the army, Tao Qian may be more concerned about the reputation of the Mi family in Xuzhou and the strength of the Mi family's nearly [-] diners. Let's go, but if we hijack the Mi family, Tao Gongzu would like to take the opportunity to let the Mi family fall into chaos by our hands. First, it can severely damage the Xuzhou gentry, and second, it can swallow the Mi family's wealth of over [-] million. And, no It will be handed over to others."

Zhou Tai said with a worried expression: "If the Mi family really wanted to help each other, they would have gone to persuade Tao Qian long ago, but they have not moved, and they have threatened Feng Xiao to give the recipe of drunken wine. It seems that the Mi family still wants to use Tao Qian's hand to get rid Let me wait."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "That's true. Mi Zhu is sure that I see the stakes clearly. I will neither harm him nor go out and risk my life to fight with Tao Qian. That's why I took the opportunity to deceive me about the formula of the drunken fairy wine. But Mi Zhu doesn't expect to get the formula from me, it's just a disguised form of provocation, which makes me, Guo Jia, angry and confused."

Gan Ning chuckled, and said: "But he never thought that the little grandpa is an extraordinary fool, he is calm in the face of danger, and his plan is determined. However, since he has seen the stakes clearly, for the current plan, what should he do to get rid of it?" Disaster?"

Guo Jia was confident, and said with a light smile: "Tao Gongzu besieged and did not attack. First, he was worried about breaking in and entering Ruo Mi's brother, so he would have died in vain. He would have allowed his subordinates to kill his ministers. , Tao Gongzu hopes that the two of you will take the initiative to surrender. Therefore, I will give you and me time to weigh the pros and cons. I think that when Cao Bao gets impatient outside the door, please surrender."

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were startled, and hurriedly asked, "Really surrender?"

Guo Jia naturally shook his head and said: "Of course it's a false surrender. Later, you tie me up and show it to Cao Bao outside the door. You can ask Tao Gongzu to make a promise in person, and then wait for the opportunity to capture Tao Gongzu."

"Catch the thief first!" Zhou Tai and Gan Ning said in unison, and their faces were filled with joy.

Gan Ning even clapped his hands and said, "This plan is very clever. I still have a lot to say about Linjiang with Feng Xiao, but today I will turn Xuzhou upside down again."

Zhou Tai also showed a look of excitement, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, generals are like this, they are warlike by nature.

Guo Jia brought the two of them to the main hall of Mi Mansion, and after the servants invited Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu walked up to Guo Jia and sighed softly: "Feng Xiao, I am in trouble today, I feel ashamed, I wanted to help you escape Dangerous place, but the lord has an order, I have no choice but to neither follow the order nor persuade. Please be considerate."

Guo Jia, who was sneering in his heart, showed a very moved expression on the surface, held Mi Zhu's hand and said, "Zizhong, I know you are stuck between loyalty and righteousness, and I can't force Zizhong to disregard loyalty. , all because I was young and energetic and committed a heinous crime in Hedong, please Zi Zhongnian, please help me to say a few words in front of Zhou Mu when we get acquainted."

Mi Zhu was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Feng Xiao, what are you?"

Guo Jia threw his hands behind his back, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai took out the binding rope and went forward to tie him up, tying him into a dead knot.

Mi Zhu never changed his face, just sighed slightly.

Guo Jia lowered his head and said sadly: "Brother Zizhong, please tell Zhou Mu that I, Guo Jia, would like to surrender. Please let me work under the tent of Zhou Mu to atone for past sins."

Mi Zhu remained silent for a while, and finally nodded. Just as he was about to go out, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning stood in front of him.

Gan Ning said expressionlessly: "I can't trust people outside the door. Now that the young grandpa has surrendered, I am naturally willing to serve under the tent of the state shepherd, but I must listen to the state shepherd's promise in person, otherwise, I won't believe it."

"Let Tao Gongzu come out, as long as he can meet my request, I, Zhou Tai, will work hard for him." Zhou Tai said roughly.

Mi Zhu watched the two of them for a long time, but finally bypassed them and went out to see Tao Qian.
