The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 412
"Sun Zhongmou's knife is so exciting that I can't sleep!"

Cao Pi held Guo Jia's call to action against Wu with a look of excitement on his face, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, wishing he could dance with his arms and legs.

Sun Quan's surprise attack on Nanjun forced Gan Ning to flee, Cao Wei Xiangfan's crisis disappeared, and at the same time, Guo Jia's anger was drawn away. Now, a life-and-death battle will break out between Guo Jia and Sun Quan.

The Taiping Army actually dispatched 20 troops, claiming that a million will wipe out the south of the Yangtze River!
Within a year, the Cao Cao navy with 80 soldiers marched east to Sun Wu, and then the Guo Jia water and land army with millions of gold and gold pointed eastward. Sun Quan, are you ready?

When Ma Chao rebelled in Guanzhong and Zhang Liao's [-] troops could not protect himself, Cao Wei's pressure in Sili dropped sharply, and the southern battlefield turned into a decisive battle between Guo and Sun.

"Zhongda, tell me, is Gu taking the opportunity to break into Guanzhong, or waiting for the decisive battle between Guo Jia and Sun Quan to come to an end and reap the benefits?"

Cao Pi moved to the main seat, looking excitedly at Sima Yi beside him.

But Sima Yi bowed his head indifferently, he was thinking about something on his mind.

Liu Bei's attack on Xuzhou is not unexpected, but it is a minor problem after all. It will be difficult to achieve success in three to five years. Xuzhou has just experienced Chen Deng's recruitment. It is difficult to provide Liu Bei with more soldiers in a short period of time. Liu Bei wants to gain a firm foothold. , it will take time to manage and consolidate his power in Xuzhou.

What made Sima Yi uneasy was that he couldn't figure out Guo Jia's intentions.

It's a normal reaction to turn against Sun Quan!
However, it would be too risky for Guo Jia to use all of Yizhou's troops to destroy Jiangdong.

Ma Chao in Guanzhong is immortal, isn't Guo Jia wary of Ma Chao going south?Maybe Ma Chao didn't have the strength to go south, but Guo Jia lost in the war with Sun Quan, and Ma Chao would have time to develop and grow up. At that time, what Guo Jia lost might not just be as simple as Guanzhong.

To be on the safe side, Sima Yi thought that if he was Guo Jia, he should get in touch with Zhang Liao first, attack Ma Chao on both sides, calm Guanzhong, and ensure that there would be no changes in the north before targeting Jiangdong. This would give Sun Quan a foothold in Jingzhou and develop time.

Fighting Ma Chao or Sun Quan both have disadvantages. Fighting Ma Chao is safe, but playing Sun Quan is risky. Guo Jia chose to take risks.

Perhaps this is also in line with his usual style of taking risks.

"Zhongda, Zhongda"

Cao Pi saw that Sima Yi was in a daze, so he called him several times in a row. Sima Yi came back to his senses, and after listening to Cao Pi's question again, he shook his head in thought for a moment and said, "The king of Wei should wait and see what happens. The battle between Guo and Sun has too many variables, so it is not appropriate He acted rashly. The reason why Zhang Liao did not counterattack Chang'an was because he was worried that he would leave Hangu Pass, and our army would then enter the pass. No matter whether he wins or loses in the battle with Ma Chao, we will benefit. Therefore, our army must attack the pass There is a price to be paid, which is what Ma Chao likes to see, so let's hold back for now."

The current situation is very stalemate. Whether Cao Wei is facing Guanzhong or facing Jiangnan, it is a three-party game. In the game between the three, all parties hope to see the other two disputes to reap their own profits, so it will form a delicate situation. balance.

Guanzhong was caught in the middle and the situation was unfavorable for Zhang Liao. Cao Wei did not take the initiative to fight Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao did not dare to step out of Hangu Pass when his rear was uncertain.

In the south, Guo Jia and Sun Quan are already in a life-and-death situation, so it is better for Cao Wei not to join forces.

Among them, the variables are not predictable by human beings.

If Sun Quan can't stop Guo Jia, and then surrenders or withdraws to Jiangdong, then Guo Jia's 20 soldiers and horses are very likely to attack Fancheng in the north, and other unfavorable situations may occur. Cao Wei should not take the initiative to participate, but It is the best policy to wait and see the changes.

After hearing what Sima Yi said, Cao Pi calmed down and took it seriously.

At this time, a guard entered the hall and presented a military report to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi opened it and laughed again.

Sima Yi took the information from Cao Pi and looked down, showing a contemptuous smile.

This is the army intelligence of the Taiping Army's eastward expedition, which describes the generals of the Taiping Army's expedition.

Coach, Guo Ye, the eldest son of Guo Jia!Among the generals in command, Sima Yi did not see a name he expected.

Wei Yan, who has heard of it?

Xiao Ren, who has been famous for a long time, has never had the experience of commanding an army in the field. His reputation is for following Guo Jia's loyalty, not for military exploits on the battlefield.

As for Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi and other generals, they are all young and cutting-edge generals with limited reputation and not worth mentioning.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Yan and other experienced generals, Guo Jia did not send any of them!

"Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, what should Gu say about you? You are looking for your own death, you are looking for your own death!"

Cao Pi got too many surprises today.

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said to Cao Pi: "Guo Jia is worried that generals will take credit for themselves. With the lessons learned from Gan Ning, he has already become suspicious of the famous generals in the army, so he dispatched his most trusted people in this battle. , Guo Ye, his eldest son, Xiao Ren, his loyal dog. Sun Quan should have the strength to fight."

This is definitely morale-boosting news for Jiang Dong. If Guo Jia sends out all the generals in the army, Jiang Dong may face another debate about whether to surrender or not. Facing the 20 army commanded by Guo Ye, Jiang Dong The army will not hand over a letter of surrender to a young man in his early twenties. On the one hand, it is also a factor that the Taiping Army's combat power has been greatly reduced.

In Cao Pi's eyes, he seemed to see Guo Jia who was suicidal. Regardless of the other things, as long as Guo Jia and Sun Quan could fight, that would be the most wonderful thing.

After making up his mind to watch the fire from the other side, Cao Pi had no external threats and began to aim at the inside. Liu Bei in Xuzhou was nothing to fear, and he wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate his rule. It would be best if he could completely erect the banner of the Cao family.

Wang Jue, although he can have a country in China and open a mansion, but after all he still has an emperor on his head.

After a long silence, Cao Pi ordered someone to call Chen Qun. After Chen Qun came to salute in the hall, Cao Pi took out a scroll from the low table full of bamboo slips and threw it directly at Chen Qun.

Standing up and turning his back to Chen Qun, Cao Pi said lightly, "Just do it like this."

Chen Qun opened the bamboo slips and saw that it was the nine-rank official law that he suggested to Cao Pi earlier, but Cao Pi made some changes.

A new system is about to be born.

Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System!
Chen Qun suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed to Cao Pi, turned and left.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, Chen Qun's eyes suddenly became wild.

The era of nobles is coming!

When Chen Qun declared the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System to the world in the name of the emperor, the whole country was finally shaken, but it was Cao Wei who made waves first.

After Liu Xie, the son of heaven in Xuchang, saw the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, he knew the Liu family's country, and it was over!

Cao Pi used political interests to successfully instigate the last supporters of the Han Dynasty!
Cao Wei was also promoted by the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, and the officialdom was unprecedentedly united, united as one to assist Cao Wei to rule the world.

Xuzhou
Liu Bei was full of emotions towards Xuzhou, lost and regained, gained and lost again, after repeated, the return to Xuzhou could no longer raise the excitement, but was very flat.

In the room of the government office, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang discussed secretly, and there was too much news in front of them.

Sun Quan and Guo Jia turned against each other, and the Taiping Army was about to step out of Badong to fight Sun Quan. At this time, Cao Wei launched the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, which made it difficult for Liu Bei to win people's hearts, because people with political backgrounds in their ancestors would not take risks and assist Liu Bei, go to Cao Wei's place, and you will get a share of the cake.

The old Liu Bei was helpless in the face of the current situation, or he had never had a vision in the general direction. Therefore, before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he fought and failed repeatedly in various places, and he was still unable to develop.

Liu Bei personally didn't hate Guo Jia deeply, but he also had a very strong hostility. It was Guo Jia who forced him to have this emotion.

Regarding Jiangdong Sun Quan, although Liu Bei also knew that Jiangdong and him were using each other, at least the two worked together to fight a wonderful battle of Chibi.

In terms of attitude, Liu Bei supports Jiangdong.

"Military division, in this dispute between Guo and Sun, I and Marquis Wu are allies, shouldn't I?"

Liu Bei now has to ask Zhuge Liang for advice on all military movements.

Hearing the allusion in Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei inexplicably, and asked, "My lord, have you ever thought about the relationship between Marquis Wu and King Wei?"

Liu Bei was at a loss for words.

All his life, he took it as his duty to support the Han family, and hung this flag of righteousness to overcome obstacles. Now Sun Quan bowed his head to Cao Wei. If Liu Bei still recognized Sun Quan as an ally, then can Liu Bei and Cao Wei be regarded as hostile relations?

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, Liu Bei's only remaining name of benevolence and righteousness, don't he want it?
What's more, they are far away in Xuzhou, how can they help Sun Quan?

"The first battle between Guo Shijun and Wuhou is in Jingzhou. Even if we spread our wings and fly there, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, calmly.

Liu Bei looked dejected, and sighed: "A year ago, we worked together to kill Cao Bandit, but suddenly they turned against each other. If the two can work together, why worry about Cao Bandit not being wiped out?"

Zhuge Liang stagnated in shaking his feather fan, and stared at Liu Bei indifferently. When Liu Bei noticed something abnormal and raised his head to look at Zhuge Liang, he asked strangely, "Military Master, did I say something wrong?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and nodded.

Flicking the feather fan with his fingers, Zhuge Liang looked aside and said, "My lord, do you remember the first time you met Guo Shijun last year?"

Mentioning this, Liu Bei was furious, but he still sighed helplessly: "How could I forget? I don't know where I offended Mr. Guo. He treated me, alas."

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Actually, Mr. Guo made a mistake. As I expected, it was right. In his plan, the current battle between Guo and Sun should actually include the lord. He wants to use his own power Destroy Jiangdong and the Lord."

Liu Bei was taken aback. What happened with Guo Jia earlier was so complicated that he couldn't figure it out at all.

But he heard something strange from Zhuge Liang's words.

"Could it be that Guo Shijun had expected that he would have today's battle with Marquis Wu?"

Liu Bei asked suspiciously.

Zhuge Liang moved closer to Liu Bei and whispered a word.

"Guo Shijun is the same as the lord, aiming to destroy Cao, but before destroying Cao, he must swallow Wu first!"
