The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 77

Guo Jia's two generals, Xu Chudian and Wei, joined forces to draw a tie with Lu Bu, and then Zhang Yan forced Lu Bu to flee. Perhaps others thought this victory was unarmed, but Guo Jia disagreed. There has never been a confrontation between the two armies. To be fair, otherwise Lu Bu would not be able to escape at all, because his war horse Chitu is the best in the world.

After Lu Bu fled for his life and went back, he was very angry, but he was indeed defeated, so he had to hang his head and say nothing.

The raised hand never waved down, and Dong Zhuo's mind was intertwined with the thoughts of fighting and not fighting, but when he saw the soldiers behind Guo Jia in good order and with high fighting spirit, he suppressed the anger in his heart and uttered a sentence abruptly .

"Guo Jia, do you have to fight me today?"

After Zhang Yan, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu returned, Guo Jia's stern expression on the raging horse became more relaxed.

"Grand Master, as I said before, you will give me [-]% of Luoyang's wealth, and give me a whole family, and I will leave immediately with my troops."

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Who do you want?"

"Cai Yong and his wife."

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were taken aback by Guo Jia's answer.

They didn't expect that the person Guo Jia wanted was Cai Yong. According to their previous guess, they thought that Guo Jia would ask for the emperor, otherwise Dong Zhuo wouldn't be so angry that he ordered Lu Bu to take Guo Jia's head.

The Son of Heaven is Dong Zhuo's amulet, and if he really wanted to snatch the Son of Heaven from Dong Zhuo, it would be tantamount to killing him.

Since it was Cai Yong's family, Dong Zhuo had no objection, and ordered Cai Yong and his wife to be invited out from the families of officials behind the army.

It has long been known that the person leading the troops to block the way was Guo Jia, and when Cai Yong and his wife were pushed to the front of the battle, they all looked resentful for seeing their enemies.

"Grand Master, the old man doesn't want to go with him, so why not kill the old man now, Grand Master."

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, Guo Jia is not even a rebellious official, he is an out-and-out thief, a great Confucian of Cai Yong's generation, and he is the object of his efforts to win over, and Dong Zhuo does not want to drive Cai Yong away unless it is absolutely necessary, but right now his own life and Cai Yong's Compared with Yong, Cai Yong can only be sacrificed.

Maybe everyone thinks that Cai Yong and Guo Jia have a deadly feud, and Cai Yong is here for revenge.

After all, after Cai Yong's daughter was sentenced to corruption and exiled in the Northwest, news came that she died of illness in the wilderness within two months. Cai Yong and his wife didn't even have a chance to collect their daughter's body.

The culprit that caused the tragedy was Guo Jia. Ninety percent of the people in the world believed that Guo Jia raped Cai Yan and made Cai Yan pregnant. Cai Yong, a great Confucian of the generation, lost his face and lost his beloved daughter.

Riding his horse slowly to the front of Dong Zhuo's army, Guo Jia was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's daring to act rashly. Now that the two sides have reached a consensus and started to negotiate terms, launching an attack rashly will only push the situation into a bad direction.

"Lord Cai, I don't care if you believe it or not, I want you to come with me because I want your wife and daughter to be reunited."

After saying this, Guo Jia turned his horse's head and walked back, but turned his head and said softly: "I have a son named Guo Ye. According to blood, he is your grandson."

Cai Yong was dumbfounded, although he still had doubts in his heart, he believed it because he knew his own weight, Guo Jia wanted to kill him, and he had a chance to draw his sword just now.

The lady next to her heard that Cai Yan was still alive and gave birth to a son, her shock and excitement were all written on her face, but she couldn't urge Cai Yong to go with Guo Jia, so she had to tug on Cai Yong's lapel timidly.

With a long sigh, Cai Yong walked towards Guo Jia's army with his wife with his head down.

After Cai Yong and his wife entered the cavalry team, Guo Jia said to Dong Zhuo again: "Grand Master, [-]% of Luoyang's wealth, according to my report from the horse, you transported hundreds of carts of wealth from Luoyang, how about it, I only need a hundred carts. how?"

Dong Zhuo was suppressing his anger, his fists were already trembling, Li Ru who was at the side saw that he was still hesitating, so he couldn't help but said: "Grand Master, money is something foreign to you, if you fight, the loss of troops will be comparable to a hundred carts of money?"

Dong Zhuo also thought of this point, but he was not reconciled. He wanted to defend against the Kwantung Allied Forces at the risk of Weihan, but he didn't expect to be planted here first.

"Guo Jia, if you break your promise, even if Dong dies here today, he will fight to the death with you."

Seeing Dong Zhuo holding back his anger, Guo Jia said with a sassy smile: "Grand Master, think about it, if I get a hundred chariots of money, if I fight you again, why don't I fight you directly, wouldn't it be better to ambush? "

It makes sense, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru agreed with Guo Jia's rhetoric, so they ordered their subordinates to escort a hundred carts of money to Guo Jia.

When the soldiers were busy, Dong Zhuo looked up at the dense Xiaoshan, and asked Guo Jia loudly: "Guo Jia, with your tens of thousands of troops, are you going to stay in Guanzhong in the future?"

Li Ru was also very afraid of this point, if Guo Jia hid in Guanzhong, it would be a huge hidden danger after all, so he stared at Guo Jia solemnly to see what his answer would be.

Regarding this, Guo Jia said with a relaxed smile: "Grand Master, let me give you an idea. The four major passes in the east, south, west, and northwest of Guandong are guarded, and you have strong generals in Hangu Pass. After you arrive in Chang'an, you have a strong general in the other three dangerous passes." Send people to guard, and then strengthen the walls and clear the country. If I am in Guanzhong, I will not attack sooner or later. If the grand master finds it troublesome, I will recruit a large army after entering Chang'an. It is easy to wipe out the forces in Guanzhong. As long as I have no city to stand on, the land in Guanzhong will be destroyed. No one can take it away from the Grand Master, can they?"

Dong Zhuo, who squinted his eyes in surprise, also knew that what Guo Jia said made sense, so he stopped asking.

As for where Guo Jia will go in the future, Dong Zhuo doesn't care. If he still occupies Guanzhong, he will make plans after he arrives in Chang'an.

Sitting in the carriage and watching the soldiers escort the carriage to the front, the emperor Liu Xie had already bit his lip.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors. Guo Jia, you, you have betrayed me!"

Dong Zhuo is a rebellious minister, Guo Jia is a thief, and Liu Xie almost suffocated when he said that he was a rebellious minister and a thief.

At this moment, Liu Xie finally understood why Guo Jia didn't help him back then. Liu Xie thought that Guo Jia had already had a rebellious heart!
Now that Guo Jia has an elite army and strong general, Liu Xie knows that it will never be possible for this person to work for him.

After Baiche's wealth was delivered, Dong Zhuo said to Guo Jialang, "Guo Jia, Dong has already given you what you want, why don't you lead the troops and leave?"

Looking up at the sky, as if hesitating for something, Guo Jia finally showed a kind smile.

"Grand Master Dong, thank you, there will be no future."

At the moment Guo Jia turned the horse's head, a sudden change occurred.

The earth-shattering sound came from Xiaoshan Mountain, and everyone in Dong Zhuo looked up, their hearts were shattered in shock.

I saw countless giant trees rolling down from Xiaoshan Mountain. Although they were not coming towards the army, they were rolling down and blocking the way ahead.

Giant trees piled up in front of him, and Dong Zhuo screamed at Guo Jia furiously: "Guo Jia, you dare to break the contract? Don't you think that I, Dong Zhuo, really dare not fight with you?"

Guo Jia, whose troops turned around and was leaving, turned around and looked at a group of 2000 people descending from the high slope on Xiaoshan Mountain. They led their horses back to the group in front of Gao Shun's command, and then turned their eyes to Dong Zhuo. Guo Jia smiled lightly and said: " Grand Master Dong, as you can see, there are only [-] of my soldiers on Xiaoshan Mountain, and only [-] soldiers behind me. The total is only [-] soldiers and horses. If you come up to fight with me now, Grand Master will definitely annihilate my entire army. "

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia looked up to the sky and laughed, turned around and left recklessly.

Dong Zhuo also saw that the number of troops coming down from Xiaoshan was only a mere thousand, while Guo Jia's total number of soldiers and horses was as he said, at most five thousand.

Kill or not?

Li Ru beside him was already in a state of confusion!

Guo Jia!Ghost talent, not in vain.

Even if you want to chase and kill Guo Jia at this time, you have to move the giant tree in front of you, which will take time. Cavalry, no matter how much you go, you will die.

And Guo Jia said openly that he only had five thousand soldiers, Li Ru believed it or not, but he also became suspicious if he didn't believe it.

What if there are Guo Jia ambushes ahead?This person is good at conspiring to win, what if he lures the enemy to go deep at this moment?

Li Ru shook his head with a gray face, and laughed at himself, "It's better not to provoke this person."

Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to remove the giant tree blocking the way, and asked Li Ru, "Li Ru, if Guo Jia really has a large army, why didn't he kill me?"

Dong Taishi, who is full of evil, also knows that everyone is going to kill him now, and he still has this self-knowledge.

Li Ru smiled bitterly and asked, "Grand Master, if you are in a desperate situation, what will happen to the Son of Heaven?"

Violence filled his eyes, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "The Son of Heaven must die before me!"

Li Ru asked again: "Guo Jia is a criminal committed by the imperial court. Even if he supports the army to separate the regime, the world will not tolerate it. Unless the emperor pardons him, he can be justified. But if he fights with the grand master, the emperor will die. Guo Jia has no benefit at all."

The situation is so delicate, no matter how many soldiers Guo Jia has, Dong Zhuo doesn't want to lose his troops and make troubles, and he can't bear Guo Jia's rampant behavior. He wants to fight, but he still can't make up his mind.

With a heavy snort, Dong Zhuo held back his anger, but asked with a frown: "If Guo Jia occupies Guanzhong, it will always be a big problem."

Li Ru shook his head and sighed: "Guo Jia has been in dangerous situations many times and managed to survive. Apart from a little bit of luck, it is more because he is good at planning before making moves. He was born out of nowhere after nearly two years of dormancy. Little, the Grand Master can guess where Guo Jia will go now? Hangu Pass has been guarded by the Grand Master's heavy troops, and the direction of Guo Jia's departure is westward, doesn't the Grand Master understand?"

Dong Zhuo widened his eyes like copper bells, and blurted out: "Yizhou!"

Li Ru nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Yizhou Mu Liu Yan never imagined that when the Kwantung coalition forces are fighting fiercely with the Taishi, a group of people will kill Yizhou where he has just gained a foothold. I am afraid that Hanzhong and Guanzhong Liu Yan didn’t have heavy troops guarding the dangerous channel, because there is no big enemy in Guanzhong, and in his opinion, stationing troops in Hanzhong Fortress would be a waste of money and food. Alas, Yizhou, the largest in the world, is about to change.”

After pondering for a moment, Dong Zhuo asked, "Then move the capital to Chang'an, how to guard against Guo Jia?"

Li Rushen said: "Even if Guo Jia captures Yizhou, he cannot expand outward within five years. If the grand master is not at ease, he can send people to guard the southern Xiongguan Sanguan and Longyou after moving the capital to Chang'an. Guo Jia wants to plan Guanzhong. If the soldiers are strong, they will take the route of Longyou, and if the soldiers are few, they will go out of the old way to seize Chencang. However, Grand Master, within five years, Guo Jia will not seek Guanzhong. In a showdown, if you only want to dominate one side, just stick to the dangerous pass."

After speaking to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was slightly distracted.

Guo Jia, you have chosen the best place in the world to seize but the least worthy of it.

In the north of Yizhou, the Grand Master will definitely not disturb you.

To the east of Yizhou, Jingzhou is now in chaos.

But in Yizhou, it is more than enough to rule the roost, but trying to dominate the world is hard to compare to ascending to the sky.

Guo Jia, do you just want to be a prince?
