The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 381
Some words are really good to be unspoken.

Guo Jia could say these things to Zhou Yu, but he would only give Sun Quan a flawless smile.

There is a need for face and dignity between princes, but princes don't need to face ministers.

Zhou Yu felt terrified in front of Guo Jia, who had nothing to fear and wished to die at his hands.

Jiang Dong belonged to the Sun family, and Zhou Yu was just a minister. Even though he was high enough to influence Sun Quan's decision-making, he still had no right to risk Jiang Dong.

Besides, what Guo Jia said was very clear.

Killing was what he expected, even exactly what he wanted.

He can die, looking up at Biluo in Huangquan, watching his son lead the soldiers of sorrow and anger to flatten Jiangdong, and then sweep the world.

If a father can have a son who attracts the attention of everyone and is above all things, he will be proud, and he will die without regret!
Zhou Yu knew Guo Jia's ambition to destroy Jiangdong, but he didn't dare to kill the person in front of him with a single sword.

Jiangxia's 10,000+ Taiping Army has already made Liu Bei uneasy, and Guo Jia has achieved the goal of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

铿

Guo Jia pressed the sword back into the scabbard around Zhou Yu's waist, turned around and walked back to the window.

"Gongjin, if you don't kill me today, you will regret it, and Marquis Wu will regret it too. But you made a correct decision. If you don't kill me now, Jiangdong still has a chance to turn the situation around. If you kill me with one sword, then Jiangdong will die." Prepare your own coffin first."

Zhang Ren heaved a sigh of relief, the oppressive and tense atmosphere just now made him sweat like rain, and Zhou Yu, didn't he also feel relieved?

Now, Zhou Yu was in a state of anxiety, and he also wondered whether Guo Jia was bluffing or not.

But Guo Jia really wants to use his death to create opportunities for the Taiping Army. He doesn’t need Zhou Yu to draw his sword, he can kill himself. reason.

The heavy rain was heavy, and Sun Quan and Lu Su, who were standing under the eaves of the attic to shelter from the rain, looked uncertain.

After pacing back and forth several times, Sun Quan talked to himself and gritted his teeth.

"I knew it, I knew it! It is impossible for Guo Jia to come to Jiangdong without making any preparations. He has already made up his mind about everything."

Seeing Sun Quan turning around like an ant on a hot pot, Lu Su cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. This matter has not yet reached the point where it cannot be reversed. Guo Shijun will plan before moving. He will definitely deploy it before he comes to Jiangdong." The purpose of the current military operation is to frighten Jiangdong and not give Jiangdong a chance to delay. This time the two marriages, the lower officials think that it should be completed as soon as possible, and then let Guo Shijun go back, at least not to let Guo Shijun doubt Jiangdong's Sincerity, Jiangdong can't give others a handle, since it is a good relationship with each other, then treat each other with sincerity."

After Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

He originally wanted to please Guo Jia, so that the Taiping Army would have no excuse to attack Jiangdong.

If it is delayed and obstructed, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse and self-defeating?

Moreover, getting married is to express goodwill, to express friendship, and to secretly plan unruly things. If the friendship between the two families is not formed at that time, isn't it just a waste of time?
After sorting out his emotions and calming down the anger in his heart, Sun Quan walked up to the attic and returned to the room.

"I hope you will forgive me for what happened just now. It is because I am not strict in governing."

Sun Quan didn't notice Zhou Yu's gloomy expression, he was engrossed in looking at Guo Jia who was facing the heavy rain outside the window.

Turning around, Guo Jia smiled casually, not paying attention at all.

Sun Quan and Guo Jia sat down facing each other again, Sun Quan hesitated and said: "The one-month agreement between Shi Jun and Uncle Liu Huang has not yet come, but why did the Taiping army enter Jiangxia?"

Sun Quan is pretending to be confused with his understanding. The Taiping Army entered Jiangxia, obviously the ulterior motives are not drinking. If you want to destroy Liu Bei, do you need to come out with all your strength?
But he can only use this excuse to ask questions.

Smiling nonchalantly, Guo Jia pretended to be confused as well.

"Oh, that's what I asked my eldest son to lead the army to welcome the bride before I left. Marquis Wu, marrying a sister, is it a trivial matter? If you don't treat it solemnly, isn't it disrespectful to Jiangdong? I hope Marquis Wu will not be offended."

Sun Quan forced a smile on his face and scolded in his heart.

welcome?

Nearly 15 fully armed troops came to welcome the bride?

Marriage is a happy event, but when the 10,000+ troops come, maybe the whole of Jiangdong will have a funeral!
Sun Quan got rid of the random thoughts in his mind, and he didn't care about anything else at the moment. Anyway, the marriage should be done as soon as possible, and it would be best to send Guo Jia away.

In this way, if the two families get married, what reason does Guo Jia have to attack Jiangdong?

Everything is tentatively decided, the wedding ceremony is arranged for the next day, even if the weather is not good and it is raining heavily, people in Jiangdong will say it is an auspicious day.

The wedding day was after a heavy rain, the wind was blowing, and the air was filled with the freshness after the rain, but the sky was still shrouded in a haze.

Decorated with lanterns and festoons, beating gongs and drums, all Jiangdong civil and military personnel were present, but the melodious harp in their ears made them expressionless.

The marriage between Guo Jia and Sun Shangxiang already made Jiangdong feel humiliated, not to mention the incident of Lu Meng and Lu Fan. Jiangdong Wenwu suppressed his anger in his heart, but he could only make up for it.

Near midnight, the banquet broke up.

When it comes to London, it is the bridal chamber.

The secluded courtyard was brightly lit. Sun Shangxiang was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed in the wedding room. Her mixed-sex guards were all outside the house, guarding every five steps and sentrying every ten steps. Don't pretend to be arrogant.

Guo Jia, who had a few glasses of wine to deal with the errands, came to the door of the wedding room accompanied by Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren was about to leave, but Guo Jia stopped him, and the two sat down on the steps.

"It's hard for you to let you accompany me to Jiangdong this time."

Guo Jia rested his chin, like a frustrated young man looking listlessly at the cloud-covered moon.

Zhang Ren knew the meaning of Guo Jia's words.

This trip to Jiangdong, narrowly escaped death.

Although Guo Jia was prepared, it didn't mean that Jiang Dong really didn't dare to do anything to Guo Jia.

If Marquis Wu really had the confidence to fight to the death, then Guo Jia would be killed, and Zhang Ren's guards would be buried with him.

"The lord is serious. It is the honor of the general to be by the lord's side at this time, and there is no regret in dying."

Zhang Ren's words were not hypocritical at all. He knew that Guo Jia's birth had changed the fate of many people.

He was born in a poor family in Yizhou, and he grew up in a bitter cold. If Guo Jia had not provided him with this platform, I am afraid that if he wanted to get ahead, it would not be impossible, but it would be difficult, and he would have to compete with those rich and powerful under unequal conditions.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

In Zhang Ren's heart, Guo Jia is his lord and his confidant, because Guo Jia knows his ability, so he will promote him and appoint him.

"My lord, don't you want to go in?"

Zhang Ren looked at Guo Jia staring at the night sky in a daze, wondering how long he planned to stay here.

On this big wedding day, let the bride stay alone in the vacant room, isn't it good?
Guo Jia waved her hands casually, and said in a waned way, "I'm not interested in a woman who doesn't know what's important and who is arrogant."

She has long been visually immune to beautiful women. Guo Jia has no feelings for Sun Shangxiang, and because the marriage between the two families has become a settlement, her value is no longer negligible.Thirdly, for Sun Shangxiang herself, Guo Jia only saw a wealthy lady who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and nothing else.

Zhang Ren nodded unconsciously after hearing Guo Jia's words.

Guo Jia has many wives and concubines, whether it is his wife Zhen Jiang or his concubine Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Xiao Qiao and others, Zhang Ren respects them very much, because they have shown the femininity that women of this era should have during the years they have been with Guo Jia. De, and Sun Shangxiang, Zhang Ren hated her from the bottom of his heart just because she allowed her subordinates to attack the Guards, and even being beautiful could not change this impression.

"The final general has some doubts in his heart. I don't know if it is convenient for the lord to clarify the doubts?"

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Zhang Ren said what was in his heart.

Guo Jia was still looking at the sky with unfocused eyes, and said casually, "Huh? Just ask if you have any questions. You should know me well. I don't have so many rules."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ren asked, "My lord, why did you force Zhou Yu? And why did you tell him our army's marching strategy?"

This is what Zhang Ren couldn't figure out. Yesterday he broke out in a cold sweat, from head to toe.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't make a move in the end.

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at Zhang Ren calmly, and asked, "Tell me, does Zhou Gongjin hate me now?"

Zhang Ren replied without hesitation: "Of course I hate it. My lord has told him openly and aboveboard that he will definitely come to conquer Jiangdong in the future. How can he be indifferent? The general thinks that he will not only be on guard against my lord, but also wait for an opportunity to attack our army."

Guo Jia patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder, nodded and said: "You are right. Zhou Yu hates me. I took off the mask of hypocrisy in front of him, just to let him understand my attitude towards Jiang Dong. He wants to stop me. To curb the growth of the Taiping Army, Jiang Dong will definitely not sit still. However, this is exactly what I want."

Zhang Ren was stunned, unable to figure out Guo Jia's intentions.

The art of war has a saying to attack his unpreparedness, but Guo Jia is good, and it is obvious that Jiang Dong is always on guard against him. Isn't this adding difficulty to himself?

Zhang Ren didn't get to the bottom of it. Guo Jia asked him to take out a copy of "Huainanzi" from the bamboo slips that accompanied him. He carried a lantern, and Guo Jia sat on the steps and read it all night.

After a sleepless night, Guo Jiaqiang prepared to bid farewell to Sun Quan. Even if he insisted on not leaving, Sun Quan would drive him away.

However, Sun Quan was shocked when he learned that Guo Jia had sat quietly outside the wedding room overnight from his subordinates' reports.

Just got up, the sky was bright and the sun was shining brightly, Sun Quan thought this was the beginning of Jiangdong turning to the light, at least, there was no war crisis for the time being.

But the subordinate's report made him uneasy again.

Sun Shangxiang offended Guo Jia before, will Guo Jia hold a grudge?

This marriage is completed, but if Guo Jia and Sun Shangxiang break out, wouldn't Sun Quan's painstaking efforts be in vain?
Can Sun Shangxiang do this kind of thing?
Sun Quan is very sure that she can do it!
Just when Guo Jia came to bid farewell to Sun Quan in spirit, Sun Quan unexpectedly proposed another marriage proposal.

Sun Quan has no older children, he is only 27.

But he has young children.

Sun Quan knew that Guo Jia had rejected other people's marriage proposals to his daughter, so he didn't touch this bad luck.

And Guo Jia's son, Guo Ye, has already had several baby relatives, but the youngest son, Guo Yu, has not yet.

Therefore, Sun Quan proposed to marry his daughter to Guo Yu, hoping to form an in-law relationship with Guo Jia for two generations.
