Chapter 42: The joke is still the same
"Lord, as long as you stick to it and don't fight, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will retreat sooner or later. If you take the risk, the situation will become treacherous and unpredictable. I hope the lord will think twice."
After determining Guo Jia's strategic goals, Xu Shu advised him with concern.
Everyone knew that the five people present, including Guo Jia, were very clear that Yuan Shao was a strong man on the outside and had a false reputation.
At this time, the army was led to attack, and it was probably because of the successive victory over the years. I thought I was invincible in the world, so I thought it was too simple to sweep the world.
However, Cao Cao was different. He survived in the cracks and reversals of life and death. In addition, Cao Cao was the best in the world in his military management and military use. If only Yuan Shao was the only one, Guo Jia would have to fight. With Cao Cao, who would win or lose is hard to predict.
The situation before Guo Jia is, offense is risky, but defense can be invincible.
Guo Jia's expression was solemn and his tone was cold.
"Cao Cao can reverse the defeat of Lu Bu's sneak attack on Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao can counter the trend and fight against the weak and force Gongsun Zan into a desperate situation. If I can only defend in front of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao without fighting, then I might as well take off my armor and return to the fields or surrender the city. What else can I talk about clarifying the world and clarifying the world."
Many years ago, Guo Jia once told Zhang Yan that he would destroy all the heroes of the world.
If you want to achieve great things, if you cannot defeat the best of the heroes in the world, you will not be able to stand at the top of the country.
Among the princes, status is very important. Apart from political status, a world-recognized strong man is not enough to be convinced by benevolence, righteousness and virtue alone. Martial power is the fundamental.
The strong and the weak must be judged through direct confrontation.
Whether the princes are strong or not depends not on the territory or the number of soldiers, but on the result of the war.
"After this battle, everyone in the world must know that those who dare to offend me must pay a price. Today, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao come, tomorrow, if Liu Biao comes, the day after tomorrow, if Han Suima Teng comes, I want these princes to remember a fact that no matter how many people you bring, you will never be able to go back safely."
Guo Jia spoke firmly and had a sharp look.
The four people in the hall could see clearly that Guo Jia's murderous intent and fighting intention were scattered at this moment.
Xu Shu no longer persuaded Guo Jia to change his mind.
He could already see that the anger in Guo Jia's heart had reached a point where he could not hold back.
People mainly control civil and military affairs, and are very cunning. Most people cannot see their inner joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness from their expressions. Guo Jia is the same. Over the years, he always smiles and makes outsiders a tepid, be kind to others and be close to the people as if they are children. Even if officials make some minor mistakes, Guo Jia just smiles and warns them.
Now, Guo Jia's expression is just very serious, but Xu Shu, who is familiar with Guo Jia, knows that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have already made Guo Jia angry.
The key is not a question of offense or defense.
Even if Guo Jia sticks to the point of not fighting, he will be invincible.
However, the two armies facing Hangu Pass will inevitably have a great impact on the people's livelihood in Guanzhong. Over time, the situation that Guanzhong finally stabilizes will fall into turmoil again.
It is very clear that it can be imagined from the perspective of the people. Hangu Pass, which is not far away, is fighting. The enemy outside will sweep over Guanzhong. Can they still go to the ground to farm with peace of mind? The real portrayal of being unable to sleep or eat is the real portrayal.
Therefore, Guo Jia wants to fight and end the war as soon as possible. Not only should he establish his position as the princes of the world through this war, but he should also minimize the negative impact of this war on Guanzhong.
"Have the lord already had a wonderful plan to defeat the enemy?"
Since Guo Jia has a goal, I must be confident in this process. Fa Zheng asked for advice and wanted to listen to Guo Jia's strategy to defeat the enemy.
Under the eyes of the four people, Guo Jia nodded seriously.
"I already have a general strategy in my mind, but please consider the details together."
After sleeping all night, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Jia Xu and the five of them discussed until dawn.
"In this way, you should go back and rest for a day first, and each will do his job tomorrow. Let's take a look at what Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will do."
As soon as his nerves relaxed, Guo Jia felt tiredness attacking his body. His expression slowed down and he said to the four people with a concerned smile.
However, Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Guo Jia, and said calmly: "Lord, the military situation is urgent, and it is urgent to go to Hangu Pass to help General Zhang with his arm. Let's say goodbye."
Immediately after Jia Xu, Pang Tong also stood up and bowed to Guo Jiasurong and said, "Lord, I'll leave now to Wuguan to assist General Yan."
The two of them acted decisively without any delay.
Guo Jia stopped persuading and turned to Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi will write a book to Wen Yuan and Heber. Wen He and the official positions in the Shiyuan Army will be tentatively determined by the military advisor General."
Jia Xu and Pang Tong showed surprise in their eyes. The tasks on their shoulders seemed to be heavier, but they made them more motivated. They felt indescribable excitement and gratitude for Guo Jia's heavy trust.
Since Guo Jia asked them to serve as military advisors and generals instead of military advisors to sacrificial wine, it means that they have the power to mobilize their troops and are already an unnamed commander.
Moreover, the formal document was sent to Zhang Liao and Yan Yan, which was to inform them that they must hand over military power when necessary, and let Jia Xu and Pang Tong come to command.
This approach is only temporary, and the matter is urgently followed. It is not that Guo Jia denies that Zhang Liao is not as good as Jia Xu and Yan Yan is not as good as Pang Tong. It is because of this battle, Guo Jia's strategic thinking, Jia Xu and Pang Tong, after a night of collaboration, have fully understood Guo Jia's strategic thinking.
Under the current tense situation, Guo Jia could not go to Hangu Pass or Wu Pass in person to teach Zhang Liaoyan face-to-face.
Besides, Jia Xu and Pang Tong should understand what they are doing, not fighting for power and profit. Even if they have military power now, they still have to hand over it as soon as the war is over.
Pang Tong and Jia Xu left at the same time. With their ordinary backs, firm steps, and unique grace of literati, Guo Jia looked up and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
The phoenix chicks spread their wings, and the poisonous soldiers compete.
From getting military information yesterday to setting up plans to respond to the enemy, Guo Jia responded very quickly and decisively.
When the disaster comes, it is most taboo to stop and stop. Guo Jia has always done this to be amazing.
In fact, many years ago, Guo Jia was thinking about how he was a master and how to be a successful monarch.
Finally, he remembered Liu Bei's words. Liu Bei said that he had to do the opposite of what Cao Cao did, so that he could succeed.
Guo Jia is not learning from Liu Bei's words, but his ideas.
As long as Guo Jia wants to get Yuan Shao’s shortcomings, Cao Cao’s shortcomings, etc., he will do the opposite.
Yuan Shao is too resourceful and few are determined, and Guo Jia must be cut off.
Cao Cao was jealous of suspicion, so Guo Jia did not doubt his employ.
As for other things like Sun Ce, Liu Biao and others, if you can think of some, just reflect on yourself.
Guo Jia cannot make a conclusion whether this is good or bad, whether it is blind or wise. The road of life is like this. There is no prophet who speaks without truth, and everything is left to time to give the answer.
Without closing his eyes for a day and night, Guo Jia asked Xu Shu and Fa Zheng to go down to rest, and he also returned to the inner courtyard to go to bed and take a break.
As the enemy is in front of him, Guo Jia needs to accumulate energy, and sufficient energy is his basic purpose as the commander.
After a stable sleep, Guo Jia fell asleep from the early morning and got up until the evening was approaching.
The bedroom was silent and silent. Guo Jia sat up and lifted the bedding. There was no Diao Chan and Cai Yan and other wives and concubines around him, and he seemed a little lonely.
The other maids in the mansion brought the washbasin into the room to serve Guo Jia in a dressing dress.
“Can outsiders visit during the day?”
Guo Jia asked casually while wiping his face.
The maid replied respectfully, "There are so many distinguished guests. They dare not disturb the envoy's rest. They are all waiting in the front hall."
"Well? Who are they? Forget it, I'll go and see it myself."
There are now all kinds of people gathered in Chang'an City, with many new faces, and the maids in the mansion may not know them.
The officials transferred from Yizhou, the wealthy families of Yizhou, and some generals in the army. Not to mention the servants in the mansion, Guo Jia may not be able to call them all when they meet.
After putting on his clothes, Guo Jia's movements were still slow. After putting on his martial arts crown and making sure there was nothing wrong, he left the bedroom door.
When he arrived at the front hall, Guo Jia saw three people sitting in the hall with an anxious look. The atmosphere in silence was very depressing and unpleasant.
Guo Jialang arrived with a smile.
"Hahaha, what wind blows you? I heard from the servants that there are many distinguished guests in the mansion, why are you the only ones? I got an ancient book recently, which made me love it. I read it at night with candles yesterday and went to bed just at dawn. I have made you guilty of waiting for a long time. I forgive you."
The three people in the hall had a surprising expression, which was extremely exciting.
They looked at Guo Jia with a little shock in shock.
Can't understand why Guo Jia can still talk and laugh so well? He is as casual as before?
Zhen Yu, Zhang Xu, and Zhang Qin, the three of them visited before noon. There were many representatives of the Yizhou Business Association. As a result, because Guo Jia was sleeping and resting, they did not dare to disturb him. They also felt that it was not good for too many people to squeeze in Guo Jia's small mansion. Now it is not the time to join in the fun. The three of them were left as representatives to explore Guo Jia's attitude.
Although the servant said politely, "Why should I go and inform you?"
But they all stopped them quickly.
Guo Jia is now considered to be half of the wealthy families in Yizhou, and the other half is just to urge the King of Hell to die.
Whether Guo Jia's attitude towards them is charitable or vicious depends on how they treat Guo Jia.
Therefore, it has become an inertial thinking of Guo Jia in Yizhou's wealthy people.
Even when the bolt from the blue fell on their heads, they still had to respect Guo Jia.
"Eunuch, don't you know the situation on the east side?"
Zhang Qin asked in confusion.
After asking, he regretted that he wanted to slap himself.
Even the merchants, like them, knew that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had stationed more than 200,000 troops in Luoyang, how could Guo Jia not know?
Now Guo Jia laughs and talks as usual, and this relaxed attitude is a must.
Did Guo Jia look frightened in front of them? Even if he faced them with a little burden, he would probably cause them unimaginable psychological pressure.
