The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 410 Raising troops to destroy Wu
Guo Jia was furious at Gan Ning's disobedience, and the whole Chengdu officialdom knew it. In front of outsiders, Guo Jia became more and more violent, often getting angry over trivial matters, as if he scolded outsiders for a few days More times than he has in the past 20 years.

But only a few people know that Guo Jia is as calm as ever in private.

In the quaint study room, Guo Jia, Guo Ye, the father and son knelt and sat opposite each other. Guo Jia had long since ceased to be arrogant, and after Guo Ye was established as the eldest son, he assisted Guo Jia in government affairs for more than half a year, and his temperament had also taken on a new look, very good Put on a harmless mask.

"Ye'er, what is the most important thing in conquering the world?"

Guo Jia put his hands on his lap and looked at Guo Ye calmly.

Guo Ye blurted out without any hesitation.

"Soldiers and horses, money and food, people's prestige, cities and territories, civil servants and generals."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not satisfied with his answer, so he continued to add.

"The right time and place, people and potential."

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, and asked: "Five years after taking Yizhou for my father, I can fight Jingzhou with a [-]% chance of winning. After another five years, the chance of winning is [-]%. Until five years ago, when my father wanted to attack Jingzhou, even if Liu Biao Mobilizing all the people in Jingzhou to live and die with him, the odds of being a father are still more than [-]%. Why didn't my father take the initiative to attack Jingzhou?"

Excluding the Battle of Chibi, there was only one time when Guo Jia took the initiative to provoke a war with Jingzhou, and that time, when Liu Biao rode into Yicheng, he swiftly quelled the civil strife in Jingzhou and quickly rose to power.

Beforehand, Guo Jia didn't know that Liu Biao was leading Jingzhou Mu, if he knew, he wouldn't take the initiative to attack.

Guo Ye's eyebrows condensed slightly, as if he understood, but he was not pierced, his thinking was in a vague stage, like looking at flowers in a fog and finally separated by a layer.

Guo Jia stretched out his left hand and said: "What Ye'er said earlier, soldiers and horses, money and food, cities and territory, generals and advisers, etc., are the necessary conditions for a monarch to be strong. There are no soldiers and horses, no money and food, no people's hearts, and no powerful officials. Wait, then the power ruled by this monarch cannot be strong, which is a necessary condition for the way to be strong."

Spreading his right hand again, Guo Jia continued: "The right time and place, people seeking power, or seeking strength and prosperity, or defeating the enemy to win, this is the way to win."

Clenching his fists with both hands and lightly hitting, Guo Jia asked, "But to combine the two, there is still one thing missing. To the outside world, it can be said to follow the will of God, but in fact, it is the name of kingly way!"

Guo Ye suddenly had an epiphany, nodded and said: "The strong have their way, and if the strong bully the weak, the weak will become weak instead of strong."

Guo Jia smiled gratifiedly.

"If you have the right way, you can get more help than if you don't know the way. If you are righteous, you have no fear. Ye'er, remember, as a monarch, the most important thing to rule is benevolence, and the foundation is the army. But the army is a double-edged sword. A teacher of Dao will sooner or later lose his morale and collapse, therefore, every time a king of Dao goes on an expedition, he needs a majestic drum and a banner of righteousness, and he will be invincible if he upholds justice."

After hearing this, Guo Ye felt quite deeply, and immediately bowed down and said in a deep voice, "My child, remember father's teachings."

Guo Jia believes that Guo Ye can understand what he said.

Soldiers are murder weapons.

How to make good use of this murder weapon is a top priority for every monarch.

The army is composed of people, and people must have emotions and desires. If the soldiers themselves have doubts and feelings of opposition, then the army's combat power will inevitably drop, and it may even collapse without fighting.

It has been nearly a year since the Battle of Chibi, but it is still vivid in my mind. Although the fire in Wulin caught Cao Jun by surprise, the Sun-Liu Alliance won easily and achieved a great victory with almost no casualties. At that time, thousands of people pointed out that the Jingzhou army who surrendered was panicked and had no fighting spirit, so they were defeated in the first battle, and finally the entire army was wiped out.

Guo Ye closed his eyes and meditated. Chibi may be just an example, but the downfall of many princes was essentially caused by a violation of morality, such as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Han Sui, Yuan Shao and so on.

A powerful prince does not mean that he can sweep the world without any scruples. To send troops to attack other princes, there must be a tenable reason. This is the most basic. , it will be more confident.

From theory to reality, Guo Ye felt a little heavy in his heart.

There is nothing wrong with fighting Cao Wei, and the Cao bandits are punishable by everyone in the world.

There is no reason to fight Jiangdong. The two are allies, but the Taiping Army still cannot fully trust Jiangdong.

"Father, Marquis Wu is devoted to you. If our army wipes out Cao Wei, can we live in peace with Jiangdong forever?"

Guo Jia's eyes drooped slightly, and he said calmly, "Ye'er, if you were Marquis Wu, would you sit back and watch the Taiping army defeat Cao Wei, then take over Cao Wei's territory and occupy nine parts of the world?"

Guo Ye shook his head affirmatively, and was startled suddenly. Guo Ye thought that if Sun Quan would not just sit back and watch all this happen, then Gan Ning would attack Xiangfan in the north. Break through Fancheng?
Just as he was about to remind Guo Jia to warn Gan Ning, Xiao Yi's voice came from the door of the study.

"My lord, Pang Junshi sent an urgent report from eight hundred miles away."

Urgent report? !
Guo Ye's heart trembled slightly, with an ominous premonition, his whole heart hung up and became more and more uneasy.

But Guo Jia didn't change his face, and uttered a word coldly.

"read."

Xiao Yi opened the letter at the door and read it word by word. Even Xiao Yi started to tremble with his hands while reading. Guo Ye, who was sitting across from Guo Jia in the room, punched the floor with his clenched fist and rattled.

Marquis Wu and Sun Quan handed Cao Pi a surrender form!From Jiangxia, all Jiangdong forces attacked Nanjun, and then wiped out Jianping County, Yidu!
Gan Ning led his army to withdraw from the front line of Xiangfan and return to Xincheng, and the attack on Fancheng fell short!
Gan Ning will be escorted back to Chengdu in three days, and the nearly [-] troops will temporarily rest in Badong County.

"Father! Sun Quan betrayed his faith and bowed his head to the Cao thief! This villain's sneak attack from behind is simply shameless!"

Guo Ye was furious, and growled at Guo Jia with gritted teeth.

After scolding Sun Quan in one breath, Guo Ye was stunned, because in front of him, a pair of calm eyes were staring at him.

Guo Jia didn't get angry, his expression didn't change at all, instead he took the time to stare at the eldest son in front of him.

Guo Ye didn't need to say anything more, Guo Ye immediately suppressed the anger in his chest and calmed down.

First, calm and calm, the eternal law.

Guo Jia saw that he seemed to have calmed down from a wild beast with blown hair, so he looked away, closed his eyes and said softly: "Ye'er, go and call all the officials of Yizhou Prefecture and all the generals in the city to come to the government to discuss matters. , make the letter sent by Shi Yuan public to the public."

Guo Ye got up and saluted, "I'll do it now, my son."

After finishing speaking, Guo Ye walked away from the study.

Guo Jia, who was sitting alone in the study, suddenly let out a long breath to calm down his excitement.

The three major battles of the Three Kingdoms era.

In the Battle of Guandu, Guo Jia failed to participate in the battle and swept the Central Plains.

In the Battle of Chibi, Guo Jia can't be regarded as the protagonist, but can only be regarded as acting in a good show of the oriole behind, and being a profitable fisherman for a time.

The third major battle, the protagonist, Guo Jia is determined!

Brewing a good mood, Guo Jia opened his eyes, black and white pupils bursting with crazy excitement.

"Sun Zhongmou, thank you."

Taking the saber on the table, Guo Jia slowly pulled out the cold sword, the sunlight reflected from the bright silver sword reflected in his eyes, full of fighting spirit!
The front hall of the mansion was no longer a place for Chengdu officials to discuss and work, but today it was uncharacteristically, the civil and military officials in the city rushed to Guo's mansion, and whispered among each other in the front hall.

The hall was noisy. In fact, everyone has been under great psychological pressure in the past few months. Ma Chao in Guanzhong rebelled, and Gan Ning violated orders on the front line in Xiangfan. No one knows what kind of shocking changes will happen in the next moment.

But even if the house leaked and it rained overnight, the Taiping Army not only entered into troubled times, but also misfortunes never come singly.

Guo Ye read out the urgent report from Pang Tong with a sullen face. After reading it, he raised his head again, and everyone in the hall was stunned and completely silent.

After a short period of silence, the civil and military forces on the scene erupted, and the curses were heard endlessly. The generals were even more direct, and they all proposed to send troops to flatten Jiangdong with a look of fury.

Suddenly, the hall fell into silence again.

Everyone's eyes focused on a figure walking out from the back of the hall.

Guo Jia, who was still as calm as water in front of Guo Ye before, came with a sword in hand!
The handsome face showed a slight smoldering expression, and the usual refined temperament dissipated and was replaced by a completely violent one.

铿

Guo Jia walked up to the main seat and directly inserted the sword on the table. The long sword swung and buzzed.

Jian Ming Shen Xiong, with endless anger.

As soon as Guo Jia turned around, he waved his hand, and the sleeves of the dark red brocade robe whipped up a strong wind, making a sharp sound.

His chest was heaving, Guo Jia looked around the crowd, and he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Sun Quan's son actually surrendered the Cao thief, and even broke the covenant to attack Nanjun, cutting off the retreat of our [-] Taiping army. What does he want to do? Is he helping the tyrant to abuse others? Sun Quan is not benevolent Injustice, what should I do? Everyone obeys orders, from now on, I just want to hear one voice, destroy Wu!"

Everyone was stunned and shocked by Guo Jia's devouring expression, but immediately, the crowd became excited and their fighting spirit was high.

Standing in Guo Jia's position, he gave Jiangdong a Jiangxia county for nothing, and the other party actually avenged his kindness!
Not only did he fail to thank Zaide for continuing to maintain the covenant, but he even made progress, and even had the goal of burying Gan Ning's [-] troops in Jingzhou!
Surrendered Cao Wei, this betrayal is thorough enough!

Dian Wei was the first to stand out and clasped his fists, filled with righteous indignation and said in a deep voice: "The last general is willing to sweep Jiangdong down for the vanguard and the lord!"

Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Zhang Yan, Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi and other generals all came out and asked for orders to fight.

The civil servants actually have different opinions on Guo Jia's plan to start a war with Jiangdong. The biggest reason is that there is still a wolf Ma Chao in Guanzhong. If Ma Chao is not dealt with, Zhang Liao's [-] troops will always be blocked from Yizhou.

However, Xi Zhicai, a civil official, came out and clapped his hands at this time: "My lord, if you want to attack Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu, you should first issue a call to action and inform the world that it was Sun Quan who violated the covenant and turned to the bandit camp. My Taiping army raised troops to attack him. justice!"

The military commander Qi Qi looked sideways at Xi Zhicai, and suddenly a feeling of admiration emerged spontaneously.

This literati is different, he can talk about the war with such confidence, to seek justice, yes, Marquis Wu must pay the price of never turning over for this justice!
