The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 382
Guo Jia had no idea that Sun Quan would have such a new proposal.

However, since Sun Quan wanted to marry a daughter after marrying his sister, Guo Jia naturally accepted them all.

Sun Quan had two daughters at this time, the elder was only seven years old, and the youngest was only four years old.

The two well-dressed girls were brought to Guo Jia and Sun Quan.

The two sisters were ignorant and naive, they looked at Guo Jia curiously with their wide and clear eyes, and they saluted Guo Jia only after Sun Quan gave orders.

Sun Quan raised his hand and wanted to introduce his two daughters to Guo Jia, to see which one was suitable to marry Guo Jia's youngest son, Guo Yu.

But Guo Jia looked at the two girls with calm eyes, which was a little strange.

Before Sun Quan opened his mouth, Guo Jia pointed at the younger girl and said, "If Marquis Wu doesn't mind, marry this girl to my worthless son."

In terms of age, these two children are suitable for marrying Guo Yu, but Sun Quan found that Guo Jia looked at his eldest daughter with a look of hatred behind the tranquility.

Now that Guo Jia called the name, Sun Quan did not object. He could sacrifice his sister, and it was nothing to sacrifice a daughter.

Furthermore, Sun Quan knew very well that the peace between him and Guo Jia was short-lived, and now marrying his daughter to Guo Jia's son will form a good relationship between the two families. Will scruple this layer of relationship and let the blood of the Sun family continue.

Sun Quan knelt down to give his young daughter a few words of advice. In order to prevent any accidents in this marriage, Sun Quan decided to let Guo Jia take his daughter away now.

The little girl showed a terrified expression. Just before she wanted to cry, Guo Jia bent down and picked her up, and smiled at her. The gentle expression surprised Sun Quan, because he couldn't feel Guo Jia's hypocrisy.

The older Sun Quan girl didn't know why, but she also knew that Guo Jia chose her sister instead of her, and she didn't know why.

Turning around and walking out, Guo Jia even knew these two girls better than Sun Quan.

The older one, whose baby name was Sun Dahu, was the later Princess Luban in history, the woman who married Zhou Yu's son and committed a serious crime of adultery with her nephew.

The young one, whose baby name was Sun Xiaohu, was the later Princess Lu Yu, and she was a hard-working woman.

It can't be blamed that Guo Jia knows so much about the Sun family. As a traveler, who hasn't the curiosity to learn more about Jiangdong Sun's family history about the romantic figures in the history of the Three Kingdoms?
There are countless heroes in the world, and the Sun family in Jiangdong has three heroes from two generations. They can be described as a family of tigers, which is admirable and fascinating.

The biological mother of Dahu and Xiaohu is Mrs. Bu, and Mrs. Bu is the most desirable spouse among Sun Quan's many wives and concubines.

Mrs. Bu is unparalleled in beauty and never jealous. Many concubines in Sun Quan's harem were selected by Mrs. Bu and recommended to Sun Quan. Which man in the world would not want such a woman?
But it was such a woman who gave birth to a pair of daughters, but they were completely different.

Sun Dahu's behavior was bad, not only messing up the court, but even launching political strife and forming cliques for personal gain.

Sun Xiaohu's fate was rough, her husband died early, and she was reduced to a tragic end after remarriage. It can even be said that she died at the hands of her own sister Sun Dahu.

Both sisters inherited Mrs. Bu's beauty, but Sun Dahu did not inherit Mrs. Bu's moral character.

If Guo Jia insists on saving one of the two sisters to change her fate, Guo Jia will choose Sun Xiaohu, because he vaguely sees the historical figures of the Qiao family sisters in Sun Xiaohu.

People are so strange, Sun Dahu in front of him is just a child, Guo Jia is more rational, and shouldn't force things on her from another time and space, but Guo Jia can't take off his colored glasses, he feels disgusted by unfaithful women .

People are selfish, and men in feudal dynasties can be more open and selfish, allow themselves to be flirtatious, and cannot tolerate women being sentimental.

Jiang Dong prepares for Guo Jia to see him off. The boat is moored on the shore. Sun Shangxiang and her guards have already boarded and waited.

When it was time to part, Guo Jia bid farewell to Sun Quan and Jiangdong Wenwu indifferently. Under the complicated eyes of everyone, Guo Jia carried Sun Xiaohu who was trembling and boarded the building boat.

With a cold expression, Sun Shangxiang almost snatched Sun Xiaohu from Guo Jia's arms, and hugged Sun Xiaohu into her arms. The little girl buried her head in her aunt's arms, and finally her body stopped shaking. The boat was getting farther and farther away from her father on the shore, and she didn't know where her future would sail.

Guo Jia stood proudly on the bow of the boat in a big cloak, looking down at the Jiangdong monarchs and ministers on the bank, his eyes were indifferent, and he looked up at the changing sky, sighing softly in his heart.

Marquis Wu, you missed your only chance.

Summer mouth
Liu Bei has been worried these few days, busy preparing for the battle, and at the same time asking around, asking Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Yi Ji, and Zhuge Liang. The first three had no idea, but Zhuge Liang only told Liu Bei to be calm. , but there is no guarantee that no war will break out.

It was cold and cold, and because Liu Qi was sick in bed, Liu Bei successfully took over his [-] soldiers. Liu Bei, who had [-] troops, was too busy preparing for the war. He will fight with the opponent, but lead the army to escape, where can he escape?
On the tower of Xiakou, the barracks outside the city were crowded with people. Zhuge Liang looked down at the scene from a corner of the tower, expressionless.

He ordered someone to carry a lyre, and Zhuge Liang sat in a corner of the city wall, playing the lyre with both hands, and gently plucking the strings with the slender fingers of his right hand.

A melodious deer song spread.

The beautiful music made many soldiers outside the tower stop and listen attentively.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were commanding the soldiers when they suddenly heard the sound of the zither, raised their heads and looked towards the top of the city, their faces showed annoyance.

"Why stand there in a daze?! Hurry up and transport the food and grass over there!"

Zhang Fei made a gesture of flogging his hands, and the soldiers beside him rushed into action, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

It's not that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu don't understand rhythm, they understand it, and they appreciate it better than ordinary soldiers.

But now, Zhuge Liang's behavior is inappropriate in their eyes.

The Taiping Army might call at any time, who would want to listen to music?
Liu Bei sent Mi Zhu to ask Zhuge Liang again, but Liu Bei was tired of asking Zhuge Liang, so he couldn't ask Zhuge Liang for advice.

Mi Zhu stood quietly behind Zhuge Liang, as if in a lifetime. After more than 20 years, the rich man in Xuzhou City who had a lot of money in the past is now very different. His gentle and elegant face is full of vicissitudes.

After Zhuge Liang's ten fingers stopped and the melody of the piano dissipated, Mi Zhu bowed to Zhuge Liang and asked.

"Military division, how should our army face the tens of thousands of troops of the Taiping Army?"

Many years have passed, and Mi Zhu has become accustomed to bowing down to others. Zhuge Liang, who is much younger than him, makes him bend down easily.

Zhuge Liang put his hands on the strings, as if talking to himself.

"Before the enemy's attack is in front of us, our army has already lost its position. When Cao Cao raised 30 troops to march eastward, our army still had Jiangdong as an ally. Now we are relying on ourselves, and the timidity we have shown is that even if we fight with our backs, we may be defeated. There's no chance."

Of the [-] soldiers and horses, in the end, only [-] white-eared soldiers are worthy of great responsibility. Of the other [-], [-] belong to Liu Qi, and [-] are those from Jingzhou who defected to Liu Bei when they were unwilling to surrender to Cao Wei.

Running an army and training soldiers cannot be achieved overnight. A strong army needs to be practiced day and night, and it will be effective after hard work.

But time is something that Liu Bei does not have. Even if Zhuge Liang takes over the army, he will not be able to make a qualitative leap in this army in a short period of time.

It is undeniable that Jiangdong contributed a lot to the great victory in Chibi, and the real main force belonged to Jiangdong. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses only increased Jiangdong's chances of winning, but did not play a decisive role in the outcome of the war.

Mi Zhu frowned slightly, these years have been turbulent, and he has also practiced the ability to stay calm, or in other words, after several life and death, he has already put life and death aside, so he can look down on the crisis.

"What the military division meant, could it be that when the Taiping army attacked, our army would capture it with nothing?"

Zhuge Liang walked to the city wall and asked with a chuckle, "Zizhong thought the Taiping army would attack Xiakou? If Guo Jia doesn't die, the Taiping army will retreat to Jiangling."

Nearly 15 soldiers of the Taiping Army came to Jiangxia, did they really intend to attack Liu Bei?I think highly of Uncle Liu Huang!
Mi Zhu took a step forward and whispered behind Zhuge Liang's back: "General Yide and General Yunchang have suggested to the lord that they intend to intercept Guo Jia on his way back to Jiangling."

Zhuge Liang smiled even more, shook his head and sneered, "So what if you kill Guo Jia? My lord dares to kill those whom Marquis Wu dares not to kill? Marquis Wu kills Guo Jia, and the Sun-Liu alliance resists the Taiping Army together, and there is still a three-point chance of winning. If the lord intercepts and kills halfway, regardless of success or failure, the Taiping Army and Jiangdong will attack the lord together."

"That's why the lord refused. Military advisor, does Guo Jia really know how to deal with the lord?"

Mi Zhu said lightly.

Zhuge Liang looked at the sky from a distance, and the white clouds and dogs were fickle.

"Liu Yanxing of Yizhou has usurped the fact that Li Jue and Guo Si were in trouble, Han Sui slaughtered the northwest, southern barbarians invaded north, and Cao bandits swept Jingxiang. Even when Guo Jia almost died in Jingzhou 20 years ago, Jingzhou was in nameless It's a land without an owner. Zizhong, do you think Guo Jia's use of troops will be for no reason? Will it be criticized by the world? Will it be criticized by the world?"

Mi Zhu thought carefully and nodded frequently.

Every time Guo Jia attacked a city, every time he plundered a land, he would hold high the flag of righteousness.

No one will complain about those who lost Guo Jia's hands, and complain about injustice.

Follow the righteous path in righteousness, and follow the cunning strategy in military strategy. This is Guo Jia's strategy for rising and dominating one side.

Zhuge Liang looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Looking at the nearly 30 years after the great chaos in the world, the only person who has achieved the ultimate combination of odd and positive is Guo Jia. Therefore, if Guo Jia returned to Jiangling safe and sound, he would not attack Jiangxia. He said that the one-month period is up, and he won't."

If Guo Jia died in Jiangdong, there would be a reason for the Taiping Army to attack Liu Bei, because the two families of Sun and Liu are an alliance.

As for Liu Bei, although Guo Jia put on an appearance of killing Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang was sure that if Guo Jia killed Liu Bei, his name would be stained with blood, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

Zhuge Liang knew things like a god, he did guess what Guo Jia was thinking, but he didn't know that Guo Jia had lent Jiangxia County to Sun Quan.

"Now that Guo Jia is returning to Jiangling, my lord has already rejected the proposal of the two generals Guan and Zhang. Why doesn't the military advisor let my lord stop preparing for the battle?"

Even if there is no battle to fight, the series of actions to prepare for the battle will consume a lot, and Liu Bei can't afford it.

Zhuge Liang didn't answer Mi Zhu, but just looked at the sky, lost in thought.

Guo Jia, are you a holy king?Let me wait and see.
