The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 352

Ever since he was in a desperate situation in Bian County of Jingzhou and came back from the ghost gate, Guo Jia became cautious in his actions and rarely took personal risks. Therefore, other princes often lost troops because of this or that carelessness. Guo Jia However, when a general is killed in battle, it is not only responsible to himself, but also to his family, and it is also a responsibility to his subordinates.

Few people understand the preciousness of living without experiencing the despair on the verge of death.

Cai Yan can see through Guo Jia's intention to arrange Guo Ye in such a way at a glance, because he wants Guo Ye to be his successor.

As Guo Ye's mother, Cai Yan naturally expected her son to inherit everything from Guo Jia, but it was too early.

Guo Jia is not yet in his [-]s, he is in the prime of life, and his peak as a monarch has just begun, but it is not a good sign to arrange a successor early, at least in Cai Yan's eyes, it seems that Guo Jia arranged the funeral a sign.

Guo Jia has always been very resourceful, so if he set out to make Guo Ye the successor so early, it is very likely that Guo Jia will face a life-and-death battle in the future, because Guo Jia is not sure whether he can return safely, so It is necessary to make preparations for all future events, so that after his accident, someone from his political group will continue to stand up and lead the army.

Cai Yan burst into tears in Guo Jia's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

Not only men can be young and frivolous, but the former Luoyang talented women are also defiant.

20 years have passed, she looked back and found that she was naive, naive, and arrogant when she was young. She admired Ban Zhao since she was a child, and she also had the idea of ​​changing the times, but 20 years later, she found that her greatest happiness is watching own husband.

After she found out that Guo Jia intended to make Guo Ye his son, she gradually felt panic in her heart.

Other princes only think about successors when they are old, but Guo Jia abnormally put this matter on the agenda at this time, obviously to prepare for the future.

Cai Yan can't be magnanimous. She doesn't care about the splendid country and the common people. If she can grow old with Guo Jia, and Guo Jia is destined to lose the chance to win the world, then Cai Yan will give up her own happiness 20 years ago. , Let Guo Jia let go of all worries and move towards the road of King's Landing, but 20 years later, she would rather Guo Jia be safe than see Guo Jia put herself in danger again.

Staring at Cai Yan with eyes full of love, Guo Jia cupped her tender face and wiped away her pear blossoms with rainy tears, Guo Jia lowered his head and pressed his forehead together, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, heroes come out of troubled times, when I was young , I had the wish to govern the country and the world, and around me, there are also people with the same ambitions, Zhicai, Yuan Zhi, Wen Ruo, but it has been 20 years since I started the army, but I feel extremely tired. To create a prosperous world, I can only do one thing. Conquering the world has exhausted me physically and mentally. Sometimes I also wonder if it’s not good to be alone? Is it not good to be free? But today, there is no turning back, but I always want to treat myself Better, take my beautiful wife and beautiful family to linger in the mountains and rivers, so I want to end this troubled world as soon as possible, and then take you, Jiang Er, Qiao Diaochan and the others to leave this overwhelmed secular world, go to Live a truly carefree life."

Cai Yan stared blankly at Guo Jia, and a look of longing and joy suddenly appeared in his misty eyes.

Now, she understands.

Guo Jia's intention is not to prevent Guo Ye from being the leader after he has an accident, but to truly cultivate a successor, a successor who will help Guo Jia fulfill his wish of governing the country. It's all about the world.

"What? Don't you want to be rich? Don't forget, I said back then that you will never be in power in this life. According to the current situation, I am calculating others all day long, and you are pampered. In the future, I will definitely die under your So, daughter-in-law, I won't give you a chance to influence Ye'er."

Guo Jia smiled playfully, Cai Yan broke away from Guo Jia's embrace after hearing this, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the teardrops on his face, while giving Guo Jia a helpless look.

"My husband loves to joke. If my husband really walks in front of my concubine, what's the point of my concubine's life? Then I will be buried with my husband and go on the road with my husband."

Guo Jia laughed loudly, pointed at Cai Yan and said, "Look, why don't you and I find a burial place with good geomantic omen right now?"

Cai Yan suddenly came over, raised her powder fist and hit Guo Jia's chest lightly and lightly.

"Husband, from now on, don't talk about unlucky words, otherwise, I will unite with my sisters to isolate my husband."

After Lu Su left Chengdu, he returned to Jiangdong non-stop, riding fast horses during the day and riding a carriage at night. The exhaustion of the carriages and horses made him physically and mentally exhausted, but at this critical moment of life and death, he endured the pain.

Chaisang is a county town built on the hillside, and Sun Quan is here.

After Lu Su came back, he immediately met with Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu was also present.

As for Zhuge Liang's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians, Sun Quan also expressed his position in front of Jiangdong Wenwu: against Cao Cao to the end!

The Sun Liu Alliance reached a consensus to jointly fight against Cao!
But at this moment, the number of winners and losers is still that Sun Liu is at a disadvantage.

Sun Quan couldn't wait to hear Guo Jia's answer.

It would be of great help if Guo Jia tried his best to contain Cao Cao in the north.

The best situation is that Luoyang is captured by Guo Jia before Cao Cao has integrated the Jingzhou army. In this way, Cao Cao might not attack Jiangdong, but guard Jingxiang's dangerous point, and send his troops back to prevent Guo Jia from sweeping the Central Plains.

Lu Su came in busy, and just about to salute, Sun Quan immediately stood up from his seat, went to Lu Su and held his arms. Seeing Lu Su's tired expression, he couldn't bear to say, "Zijing travels thousands of miles and suffers so much." Yes! No need to salute, just sit down and drink some water to rest."

In fact, Sun Quan was very anxious, but he couldn't ignore Lu Su's tired appearance.

After sitting down, Lu Su didn't write any ink, and said directly: "Report to the Lord, Guo Shijun is willing to help Jiangdong, but there are still two points that are worth discussing."

Sun Quan looked happy at first, then frowned, and asked forcefully, "What's the matter? Why don't you speak up."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Su said: "First, Guo Shijun promised that he would send troops from Badong, Hanzhong to attack the Cao bandits. I don't think the credibility of this matter is high. There are two reasons. If you fight across the border, once you are defeated, the east gate of Yizhou will be opened wide. Guo Shijun only has tens of thousands of guards and new troops in Chengdu. If Cao's bandits marched in with 15 troops and besieged Chengdu, I am afraid that Chengdu will fall. This point Guo Shijun will not be surprised, I think he will not take the risk of losing Yizhou and send out the navy. Moreover, Guo Shijun has always been famous for his strangeness in using troops, and he will definitely not tell me what he really thinks in his heart."

Listening to Lu Su's analysis, Sun Quan nodded frequently.

If there is no barrier between Hanzhong and Badong, Cao Cao in Jingzhou is very likely to let Jiangdong not fight, turn to attack Hanzhong first, and then cut off the connection between Yizhou and Guanzhong by virtue of the natural danger of Daba Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, and then double-team Chengdu. If Guo Jia really used the hundred thousand sailors, the risk would be too great!
Turning his eyes to Zhou Yu who was sitting silently in his seat, Sun Quan asked, "What's Gong Jin's opinion on this matter?"

In fact, Zhou Yu didn't expect Guo Jia to send out troops, or whether Guo Jia intervened in the battle between Cao and Sun was not important.

Hope can never be pinned on others!

The heroic Zhou Yu said lightly: "During the Battle of Guandu, the Former Lord sent Gu Yong as an envoy to Chengdu. At that time, Guo Jia told Gu Yong that he was going to attack Jingzhou, but he stationed troops in Guanzhong to sweep the Central Plains. If it weren't for the southern barbarians in the territory Rebellion and Zhang Baiqi's rebellion, I am afraid that the outcome of the battle of Guandu will be different. From this we can see that Guo Jia is treacherous and cunning, and should not be trusted. Now that he says he will send troops to Jingzhou, he may still attack the west."

Sun Quan frowned and thought about it, and questioned the two of them.

"If Guo Jia decided to send troops from the north, why did he deceive us?"

No matter how Guo Jia deploys Jiangdong, he will fight Cao Cao to the end.

Guo Jia would not care whether Jiangdong came to form an alliance, and he would definitely make a profit from it.

So Sun Quan wondered, since everyone is acting according to their own script, is it necessary to deceive allies?
Lu Su smiled wryly, and explained: "My lord, Mr. Guo promised to send troops from the east of Yizhou to attack Cao thief. This is to make my lord make up his mind to fight Cao thief to the end."

Sun Quan suddenly realized.

Jiangdong may fight or surrender. Obviously Guo Jia does not want to see Jiangdong surrender, so in order to strengthen Jiangdong's determination to resist Cao, Guo Jia's assistance is very important.

In the eyes of everyone in the world, Jiangdong is now a drowning man. If Guo Jia is willing to help, at least he will give Jiangdong a life-saving straw.

Therefore, the frontal battlefield is in the south, and Guo Jia's direct participation in the frontal battlefield will increase Jiangdong's chances of winning.

But from a practical point of view, Guo Jia's sending troops from the south could not provide as much assistance as he did to attack Luoyang in the north.

Luoyang is broken, and the Central Plains is in danger. Cao Cao, let alone neglecting Yecheng and Xuchang, is even in danger of dying.

Sun Quan figured out what Guo Jia was thinking. If he was Guo Jia, he would send troops directly from the north no matter how the south fought, and it must be after the Cao-Sun battle started. Life and death in Jiangdong, the goal of reaping profits can be easily achieved.

"Zijing, what else is there?"

Sun Quan came back to his senses and his face became solemn. Guo Jia could not count on it, or he could only rely on himself in the frontal battle. This was also what he had been mentally prepared for.

After a long silence, Lu Su said, "Guo Shijun wants Jingzhou."

Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, while Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Jingzhou?

Jiangdong has long coveted Jingzhou!
"Zijing, did you promise Guo Jia?"

Zhou Yu stared at Lu Su closely, with anger in his tone.

Lu Su smiled wryly.

"What qualifications do I have to agree to this kind of thing? Even if I agree, will Guo Shijun accept it?"

Zhou Yu's face softened slightly.

Jingzhou, no matter what, cannot be given to Guo Jia!
