The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 413
Liu Bei has long been used to Zhuge Liang's astonishing words, but hearing "Before destroying Cao, Wu must be swallowed first" still shocked him.

What do these eight characters represent?
It means that when Guo Jia appeared at the end of the Battle of Chibi, he had already made up his mind to target Jiangdong!
"How do you see this?"

Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang, but he was not blind.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan again, and asked calmly: "My lord is the same as Wu Hou. He only saw the Taiping army attacking Fancheng in the north. It was only a short distance away from success, and finally fell short. Gan Xingba flooded the Seventh Army and defeated Cao Wei bravely. He did not hesitate to disobey Guo Jia's military order to attack Fancheng, and the people of the world have seen Gan Xingba who is determined to destroy the city, but has anyone thought about Guo Jia's intentions? Does he really want Fancheng?"

"Of course I want it!"

Liu Bei blurted out, but after he finished speaking, he was stunned because he saw a trace of regret in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

It can also be said that Liu Bei, who was half his life as a soldier, longed for the territory of the city. Jingzhou, the throat of the world, and Fancheng, the most important part of the Cao Wei Central Plains defense line, changed him to Guo Jia, why not?
Zhuge Liang looked away, feeling a little lost in his heart.

This is the difference between Guo Jia and Liu Bei, and the difference between the heroes of the world.

The gains and losses of one city and one place are no longer what Guo Jia values. All the heroes focus on the local area, but Guo Jia always looks at the overall situation, and his vision is always higher than that of his opponents.

Liu Bei's self-criticism has completely exposed that he and Guo Jia are not heroes of the same level.

"My lord, do you remember that after the end of the Chibi War last year, I once asked a question, why Guo Jia let Cao Ren retreat from Jiangling and guard Fancheng?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes drooped slightly, and his expression showed a bit of admiration unexpectedly.

Liu Bei was at a loss and had nothing to say.

That day, Guo, Sun, Liu, and the three families met outside Jiangling City. At that time, Fancheng was still empty. Guo Jia had a chance to take Fancheng, and he could also trap Cao Ren's [-] troops to death, but Guo Jia didn't do that. Cao Ren retreated to Fancheng.

"If Guo Jia wanted Fancheng, he got his wish last year."

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Liu Bei was even more confused. According to what Zhuge Liang said, Guo Jia didn't want Fancheng, but let Gan Ning lead an army to attack Fancheng, and fought a beautiful battle that shocked the world. contradiction.

Zhuge Liang raised his chin, showing a bit of a smile, Guo Jia's layout, outsiders have to catch the wind and connect the bits and pieces together, in order to truly understand his intentions.

"Simply put, Guo Jia let Cao Ren back to defend Fancheng to allow Gan Ning to attack this year, and letting Gan Ning attack Fancheng is to give Jiangdong a chance to attack from behind. In this way, all doubts are solved. According to Guo Jia's past His style of work focused on management after the siege, but he did not sweep Jingnan, even in the counties of Jingzhou that he got, he did not remove and rectify the officials, but was eager to attack Cao Wei."

Liu Bei was shocked, and asked back in surprise: "Could it be that in the past year, Guo Jia planned a plan to let Wu Hou sneak up on him from behind?"

"Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? But my lord, do you know what the fate of Marquis Wu's attack on Nanjun with all his troops from Jiangdong, intending to destroy the [-] Taiping army?"

Zhuge Liang put away his smile and stared at Liu Bei with a solemn expression.

Before Liu Bei could react for a while, Zhuge Liang said word by word: "What Guo Jia wants is four words: the name is just and right! He can attack Jiangdong in an open and honest way, and rule the south of the Yangtze River. But Wuhou, but It has brought catastrophe to Jiangdong."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang raised his head and chest out, and suddenly chuckled.

Guo Jia, who can use Jingzhou, which is coveted by the world's heroes, to describe his broad-minded vision with the gains and losses of one city and one place, still seems stingy.

Liu Bei raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. What Zhuge Liang said made him feel terrified. Thinking back, he understood what Zhuge Liang said about the battle between Guo and Sun in Guo Jia's plan. mean.

If they hadn't left Jiangxia, maybe Liu Bei and Sun Quan would still cooperate.

However, Liu Bei was still skeptical. Maybe he didn't even dare to think about such a large-scale layout. Even Cao Cao, who he feared most, had never had it.

"But Ma Chao in Guanzhong rebelled, did Guo Jia ignore it?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled a few times, shook his head and said, "Master, as long as you remember one thing, there will be no problems within the Taiping Army. All discord or disputes are just illusions. The hostility between Gan Ning and Wu Yi is fake. Ma Chao Rebellion, fake. It’s just that Ma Chao’s rebellion is indeed the most dangerous move in Guo Jia’s plan, because if Ma Chao really rebelled, the consequences would be disastrous. However, I guess Guo Jia still has arrangements to guard against Ma Chao. It's a fake show."

If Zhuge Liang knew the detailed process of Guo Jia's subjugation of Ma Chao, he must have guessed that Guo Jia had a pawn beside Ma Chao as a backhand: Pound.

Liu Bei was completely shocked today. If Zhuge Liang hadn't told him, he wouldn't have understood the gap between him and Guo Jia, let alone see clearly the turbulent world situation.

"Ma Chao's rebellion is also false? Why?"

Zhuge Liang tapped the table with the end of his feather fan, first to the south and then to the north.

"Luring the enemy."

"That didn't work. Zhang Jaw guarding Luoyang has been standing still."

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously and said, "The time has not come yet."

Liu Bei, who was dripping with cold sweat, let out a long sigh.

"Since Guo Jia is ready and has already known every move of Marquis Wu, he must also have the ticket to Guo Sunzhi's victory."

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and nodded.

No matter what Guo Jia did, what problems happened to the Taiping Army, and how ridiculous the generals were, they were all illusions.

It's just that it's hard for people in the game to see these dazzling illusions clearly.

"If there is no military advisor, I'm afraid."

Liu Bei left with a sigh.

Indeed, if Zhuge Liang hadn't let Liu Bei jump out of the whirlpool center in Jingzhou at the most critical moment and stay out of it, then now that Liu Bei and Sun Quan are sitting in the same boat, the end is already predictable.

Zhuge Liang showed a wry smile.

Dazed in a daze, he felt a bone-chilling powerlessness.

Let Liu Bei's strategic shift away from the place of right and wrong, and now there is Xuzhou again, if he can be given five years, maybe Liu Bei still has a chance.

But at this time, Zhuge Liang was sure that Guo Jia would not give it to Liu Bei.

Now it's just a step by step, it's a bit of a dying struggle.

Thinking of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System that Cao Pi had just launched, Zhuge Liang's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Cao Pi, you have turned your back on your father's lifelong line of struggle. Even if Cao Wei wins the world, what can he do? If you love a minister too close, you will endanger your life, and if a minister is too expensive, you will change his master. Don't you understand this kind of truth? ? Short-sighted! Wishful thinking!"

Zhuge Liang deeply understands that the harm of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system will not be exposed in a short time, but when those noble families with prominent families gradually become stronger, the centralization of power by the emperor will inevitably be divided by his subordinates and cliques, and conflicts of political opinions and interests will be used again. One continuation means to solve: war.

Kill Cao!

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath.

Perhaps the hope of the world can only be pinned on Guo Jia!
Padang Day Camp
Outside Yong'an City, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Meng Da felt a little heavy.

For this expedition, Guo Jia gave the three of them a military order to hand over all the soldiers and horses to Guo Ye, and the three of them stayed in Yong'an.

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Mengda all understood that the three of them were equivalent to being dismissed because there were no soldiers under their command.

The weather is hot and the people are impetuous.

When the mighty army appeared in the west, Zhou Tai patted Meng Da and Jiang Qin, signaling them to cheer up, no matter what, no matter how dissatisfied they were, it was better to put them away first.

In the final analysis, the three of them obeyed Gan Ning's orders, and indeed they lost Nanjun and other places.

The majestic and majestic army came into view. Although Guo Ye was young, he was imposing. He was wearing armor with a sword hanging from his waist.

When he was half a mile away from Yong'an City, Guo Ye got off his horse and walked to the gate of the city. When he saw Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Mengda and the other three, before the other party wanted to salute, Guo Ye first saluted with fists and said: "The three generals are here. Fighting fiercely on the front line for several months, beheading generals and killing enemies for our Taiping Army, you have worked hard and made great achievements."

In terms of seniority, Guo Ye is low, but in terms of status, Guo Ye is high.

But now Guo Ye put his posture very low, which moved Zhou Tai and the others very much.

The three immediately returned the gift and entered the city together with Guo Ye, followed by Wei Yan, Xiao Ren, Jia Xu and others leading the army.

Guo Ye did not stay in the Yong'an government office, but came to the Yong'an camp, intending to rest in the barracks for a few days, and then go east after the transfer of soldiers and horses.

In the commander's account, as the commander of this expedition, Guo Ye sat on the main seat, took out Guo Jia's military order, and handed it to Zhou Tai for him to have a look without reading it out.

Zhou Tai opened it, and sure enough, at the last moment, Guo Jia still didn't change his mind, and let Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Mengda stand by in Yong'an, only responsible for dispatching food and grass, and the only task was to deliver food and grass to the frontline troops on time.

Immediately, Zhou Tai was disheartened, and listlessly cupped his hands and said a few words to Guo Ye, but turned a deaf ear to Guo Ye's heartfelt comfort, and the three generals left.

Guo Ye took off his armor, turned over the topographic map of Jingzhou and was studying it. He was about to go out to attack Sun Quan, but how to fight this battle, Guo Ye didn't have a plan yet. This time the expedition was in a hurry. There is no time to think about these at all.

"General, someone outside the tent is asking to see you."

Zhang Yi, who was Guo Ye's personal guard, entered the account to report, but Guo Ye asked softly without raising his head, "Who is it?"

"Captain Gan."

Guo Ye stopped, raised his head and said to Zhang Yi, "Let him in."

Zhang Yi led the order to retreat, and after a while, the curtain was raised, and Gan Gui walked in.

Guo Ye was startled when he saw Gan Gui who had reunited after a long absence.

This handsome and handsome young man seemed to have changed into a different person, with a haggard face and a sluggish look, and there was guilt in his eyes when he looked at Guo Ye.

Guo Ye understood immediately.

Everything comes from Gan Ning.
