The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 359 Kill or not kill
Zhou Yu returned to appease the generals, suppressed their restlessness, and then prepared to withdraw.

Liu Bei coveted Jiangling, thinking about words to persuade Guo Jia.

With what reason?

Eliminate traitors and thieves and help the Han Dynasty?For a good reason!

Liu Bei cleared his throat and planned to ask Guo Jia to accommodate him and lend him Jiangling as a temporary shelter. He and Guo Jia can attack Cao Wei in the north together!
But as soon as Liu Bei raised his hand, he wanted to discuss it with Guo Jia in a respectful gesture, but Guo Jia raised his hand to stop him from talking.

"Liu Bei, do you know why you still have nothing to do with a general like Zhang Zhao who is the enemy of thousands of people?"

Guo Jia not only called him by his first name, but also spoke harshly, without giving Liu Bei any face.

Liu Bei can bear the humiliation, but when it comes to the sadness in his heart, he will still show a frustrated expression.

He has been in Pingyuan, Xuzhou, and Xinye, and his soldiers and horses are often long and short. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all rare generals in the world, but in the end Liu Bei lost to Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and these two made him afraid. Needless to say, Lu Bu, Guo Jia was easily captured and released many years ago. As for Cao Cao, he had never defeated Guo Jia, and now he died in Guo Jia's hands.

In terms of military generals, Liu Bei's three generals will not lose to any of the eight majestic generals behind Guo Jia.

Even if Guo Jia came out to challenge Liu Bei, Liu Bei thought he would be undefeated.

"What the envoy said is exactly what Bei thinks about day and night. Although Bei is not talented, he takes it as his duty to help the Han family, and cannot sit back and watch the Han family fall into thieves."

Liu Bei lowered his head as if he had learned from the pain, Guo Jia interrupted him impatiently.

"Liu Bei, don't say that Kuangfu Hanshi is dedicated to the public. I am disgusted when I hear it. You don't have to think about it day and night. I will tell you why today."

Although Liu Bei was annoyed that Guo Jia humiliated him again and again, he remained calm and looked like he was humbly asking for advice.

"If you can mention something, please be prepared to listen."

Guo Jia pulled the rein and said leisurely: "As a monarch, you must first have a macro strategy. To be more specific, you should think clearly who is my current enemy and current ally, and who is my future enemy and future strategy. Do what you can, make friends from afar and attack close. Secondly, you must have the ability to develop your strength. Soldiers, horses and cities, food and equipment, civil servants and military generals are all necessary for you to develop. Finally, when you develop, you will have a chance of winning further. Expansion, step by step, and continuous growth. Look at the king of Wei. His starting point is not much higher than yours, but he was able to lay down the foundation of Cao Wei. The strategic line, before unifying the Central Plains, make friends with Yuan Shao first, wait for the Central Plains to be settled, and fight Yuan Shao to the death to conquer Hebei. Ha ha."

Liu Bei listened intently and nodded frequently, benefiting a lot.

Zhuge Liang provided him with a strategic route, but it was not as thorough as what Guo Jia said, that is, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Guo Ye has always been by Guo Jia's side. Guo Ye could understand Guo Jia's previous conversation with Zhou Yu and humiliation of Liu Bei, but why did Guo Jia seem to be teaching Liu Bei?
It seems to wake up Liu Bei. Isn't this raising a tiger?
Guo Jia's next sentence made Guo Ye suddenly realize, and at the same time cast a surprised look at that handsome and extraordinary man.

"Liu Bei, you don't have to rack your brains to think too much. The person next to you understands everything I say, even more thoroughly than I do. If you have any questions, just ask him. Isn't it, Zhuge Kongming? "

Guo Jia turned his attention to Zhuge Liang for the first time.

Zhuge Liang is wearing a sleeve gown and a lun scarf on his head. He has a tall and straight figure and a handsome face.

Looking at it at a glance, Guo Jia admired in his heart: it is worthy of Chen Shou's evaluation of a heroic weapon, and its appearance is very majestic.

Zhuge Liang saluted Guo Jia with a forced smile, and hated him deeply.

Guo Jia's remarks were again to sow dissension. This obviously meant that Liu Bei only needed to be a good puppet, and Zhuge Liang would be in charge of other things, and everything would be fine.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was also very surprised. The dialogue between Guo Jia and Liu Bei could never be aimless. If Zhuge Liang himself had no skills, Guo Jia's words would have no effect at all, and instead seemed to be a cold humor.

But Guo Jia took a high look at Zhuge Liang, which made Zhuge Liang very puzzled.

Guo Jia has Pang Tong beside him, and Pang Tong is just behind the eight generals.

It is not unusual for Guo Jia to hear Zhuge Liang's name.

But if Guo Jia really appreciates him, why didn't Guo Jia send anyone to recruit him until Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage last year?

Zhuge Liang knew that even if Guo Jia came to recruit him, he would definitely not give his allegiance.

Because he is the same as Lu Su.

He wants to be the servant of the new dynasty!
Instead of going to the tents of the princes as icing on the cake as green leaves.

As for whether he was loyal to Liu Xie, the orthodox Emperor of Han, Guo Jia had his own opinion. If he was loyal, why would he prefer to hide from the world in Longzhong?The great cause of Kuang Fu Han Dynasty is not fulfilled by personal efforts, but only comes out of the mountain after being recruited and has a chance to get a position. Is this called loyalty to the Han Dynasty?If all the loyal ministers in the world wait for the emperor to urge them to be loyal, it is hard to imagine whether the country will have a stable day.

"Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bei wants Jiangling, you come and tell him, will I give it to him, no matter what reasons he uses to convince me, I am tired of hearing the words of Kuang Fu Han."

Guo Jia smiled casually.

Zhuge Liang looked embarrassed, and Liu Bei's heart had sunk to the bottom.

"My lord, go back to Jiangxia."

Zhuge Liang said softly to Liu Bei.

Anyway, they still have a Jiangxia to live in.

Liu Bei was dejected, and when he was about to turn around, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I intend to withdraw Jingzhou. Liu Bei, I will give you a month. After one month, if your soldiers and horses are still in Jingzhou within the territory, then I will lead my troops to wipe out the forces that do not submit."

Shocked eyes turned to Guo Jia, Liu Bei opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to curse Guo Jia.

Don't respect the Han Dynasty and be treasonous, now you want to drive Liu Bei out of Jiangxia, don't you even give him a way to survive?

"Do you have any objections? Uncle Liu Huang."

Guo Jia said the words Uncle Liu Huang very slowly and softly, and everyone present could hear the sarcasm.

Liu Bei's expression was a little distorted, and in the end he turned his horse's head and left without saying a word.

Zhuge Liang took a step back, Guo Jia stopped him and asked: "Kong Ming, do you intend to come to my command? Your old friend Pang Shiyuan is in our army. You and him are crouching dragons and phoenixes. I think this world will soon be over. It will be calmed down, and it is not difficult for you to be among the three princes."

Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at Guo Jia.

The current Guo Jia suddenly seemed to be defiant and unscrupulous.

Zhuge Liang can understand such a transformation in ordinary people.

After all, if Cao Cao is killed, the Cao Wei regime is likely to be in turmoil and collapse, and in this world, who else can hinder Guo Jia's progress?

If an ordinary person was in Guo Jia's position, he would have been dressed in a dragon robe long ago!
But Guo Jia shouldn't!
Didn't Yuan Shao who ruled Hebei back then, Cao Cao who captured Jingxiang not long ago, and even Dong Zhuo who dominated the court a little further away, all fell to pieces when they were most proud? !

Liu Bei watched Zhuge Liang nervously, for fear that Zhuge Liang would abandon him.

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "I understand your kindness, but I dare not disregard the grace of my ancestors. As a Han citizen, I should live and die with the Han family. My lord Liu Huangshu is for the common people, and the second is for the rise and fall of the Han family. Follow my lord, don't seek riches and honor, only seek fulfillment of long-cherished wishes."

After all, Zhuge Liang left with the moved Liu Bei.

"Father, just let them go?"

Guo Ye didn't understand again.

Guo Jia does not go to war with Jiangdong, because the two have an alliance.

But Guo Jia and Liu Bei have no covenant. The Sun Liu alliance is a matter between Sun Quan and Liu Bei. It cannot be because Sun Quan and Guo Jia have covenants with Liu Bei. Therefore, Guo Jia and Liu Bei are also allies, right?

And Liu Bei, now such a good opportunity, don't you want to kill him?
Guo Jia smiled lightly, and said to Guo Ye: "You stay with Meng Da to lead the crossbowmen and tiger guards to take over Jiangling, and go after Liu Bei for your father."

Guo Ye didn't understand anymore.

Liu Bei just walked back from before him, and he didn't kill him just now, but now Guo Jia said he was going to hunt him down?

He rode his horse back to discuss with Meng Da the transfer of soldiers and horses, while Guo Jia turned around and waved to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei rode up and asked, "What are your orders, my lord?"

Guo Jia showed a wicked smile.

"Say something for me."

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses have already begun to change directions and prepare to withdraw to the Chibi camp for further planning.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also returned to the front of the formation with heavy faces. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and the fourth general stepped forward to inquire about the result of the negotiation with Guo Jia.

Who does Jiangling City belong to?
Judging by Liu Bei's demeanor, the result is definitely not optimistic.

The four generals were a little discouraged. Guo Jia had many generals, so it was certain that they were no match.

But they still didn't give up. They wanted to ask what happened, but they didn't ask.

A loud voice came from the opposite side, echoing for a long time.

"Uncle Liu Huang! Leave Jingzhou within a month, or meet swords and soldiers!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Daosi were stunned!

Even the generals on Jiangdong's side all turned their heads with surprise on their faces.

Jiangling, Guo Jia refused.

Now even Jiang Xia, Liu Bei's only shelter, is going to be taken away?

Isn't this too much!

Aggressive!
"Brother! What's going on?"

Zhang Fei didn't even call the lord, but directly called the eldest brother. Seeing his anxious and indignant expression, it was obviously unacceptable.

Zhuge Liang knew something was wrong, this was Guo Jia's agitation!
But Liu Bei didn't hide it from his brother, and he quickly revealed the truth outspokenly.

He said dejectedly: "Guo Shijun wants to take Jingzhou, but he doesn't want me to stay in Jingzhou."

These words sound aggrieved.

Is it actually excessive?

Liu Bei's official position has nothing to do with Jingzhou, why should he stay in Jingzhou?
But then again, Guo Jia has no right to occupy Jingzhou.

This troubled world is unreasonable, since it is unreasonable, it is just a fight.

"Brother! Why? Jiang Xia belongs to the son Liu Qi, not Guo Jia. The eldest son didn't even say to drive the elder brother away. Why does Guo Jia decide?"

Zhang Fei was furious, while Guan Yu was sullen, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao were also filled with righteous indignation.

Zhuge Liang was trying to smooth things over, but no matter what, he had better go back to Jiangxia to rest and recuperate first.

But the more Zhang Fei thought about it, the more angry he became, and he roared angrily.

"Swords meet! I'm going to chop off Guo Jia's head now!"

After all, Zhang Fei slapped his horse out and went straight to Guo Jia.

Seeing Zhang Fei single-handedly shouting and killing, Guo Jia smiled playfully, and said to Guo Ye who returned to his side: "Look, now, I can go and kill Liu Bei for my father."
