Chapter 77: Avoiding
"Peacemaking?"
Zhou Tai calmed down a little smile, walked slowly to the handsome position and sat down, looking at Kuai Yue with a playful look.
There is no following, the scene is silent.
Kuai Yue gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhou Tai, "General Zhou, this time you sent troops to attack Jingzhou is unrighteous. My lord has always believed that harmony is the most important thing. Jingzhou and Yizhou have not violated the rivers. But you suddenly attacked and led your army to the city of Xiangyang. It would be a shame to bully the weak and betray the weak."
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
Hold the strong and bully the weak?
Guo Jia is stronger than Liu Biao, and the Taiping Army is stronger than Jingzhou Army. This is understandable.
But Zhou Tai only had 20,000 troops in Badong, defeating Huang Zu's 50,000 troops to Xiangyang. Before the support arrived, could he be considered as bullying the weak?
Zhou Tai smiled uncontrollably and said, "Mr. Yidu, Zhang Baiqi was scattered. When he rebelled, he held an imperial edict. It clearly stated that Liu Jingzhou would support him. Jingzhou and Yizhou Jingshui will not violate the rivers? Then why did Huang Zu lead a 50,000 army to the border of Yizhou? Could it be that my lord can only wait until he is beaten before he can fight back? I was ordered to send troops this time. You can think that my lord is bullying the weak and is a powerful military force, but no one in Yizhou would think so. Liu Jingzhou stationed troops in Jianping, and everyone in Yizhou thought that Liu Jingzhou was coming to invade."
Kuai Yue felt uncomfortable.
Jingzhou was also plotted by Cao cào.
If he knew that Zhang Bai's rider had an imperial edict and that Zhang Bai's rider had a rebellious intention, he would definitely suggest that Liu Biao stop Huang Zu from leading his troops to deter Yizhou.
No matter how you look at it, Jingzhou's previous military operations were all in support of Zhang Baiqi and Yizhou fought back, which was a common sense.
Cao cào sowed a seed, took root, sprouted and developed to this point, probably even Cao cào himself did not expect it.
However, this ending was indeed unexpected. He wanted to cause heavy damage to Guo Jia, but instead put Jingzhou in trouble. Judging from the results, Cao Cao was even more happy to see the current situation. Jingzhou could not participate in the decisive battle between him and Yuan Shao within several years.
In terms of righteousness, Jingzhou could not provide convincing reasons to make Zhou Tai retreat.
Kuai Yue could only retreat and retreat with force by using Zhou Tai.
"General Zhou, there are 60,000 soldiers in Xiangyang. If you are aggressive and Jingzhou has no way to retreat, you will naturally fight to the death if you are fighting to the death. What is your chance of winning with less than 20,000 soldiers?"
First rituals and then troops, is there a dagger to see the Jingzhou map?
Zhou Tai didn't think so, Kuai Yue was obviously bluffing.
Jingzhou really dares to fight, need to be so polite to him?
Zhou Tai's smile dissipated, his expression was seven points powerful, and he was angry, and he said, "Oh? Sixty thousand soldiers, he hummed, I had been in Badong for several years, and I had long wanted to do a big fight. Huang Zu's 50,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals were not worthy of the truth. If there were really strong generals and soldiers in Jingzhou, I really wanted to come for a while. After the battle, even if the entire army was wiped out, I would still have to count carefully on how many Jingzhou troops were buried with me."
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Zhou Tai was powerful and Jiang Qin also showed some murderous intentions when he watched. Kuai Yue was helpless and even more embarrassed.
Do you dare to fight in Jingzhou? I really don’t dare.
Even if one is replaced, after Jingzhou defeats Zhou Tai, there will be less than 40,000 troops left. I am afraid that even Zhang Xiu will not be able to stop him, let alone Cao Cào and Yuan Shu. If Zhou Tai really dies in Jingzhou, would Guo Jia remain indifferent?
Sigh lightly.
Kuai Yue said earnestly: "General Zhou, you and I are old friends, so I dare to ask, "You are stationed outside Xiangyang and are only consuming money and food. Even if you conquer Xiangyang City, will your lord have the strength to garrison Jingzhou?"
Kuai Yue knew it with reason and moved it with emotion.
Guo Jiagang defended Guanzhong. Even if he conquered Jingzhou now, there would be no troops to garrison. He insisted on dividing troops to defend, and assimilated into pieces. He weakened his strength and would give the enemy a chance to defeat them one by one.
This is how Gongsun Zan's defeat was.
Doesn’t Guo Jia know? I must know.
Kuai Yue was really curious, but he really didn't understand why Zhou Tai didn't withdraw his troops.
Zhou Tai sneered, "Mr. Yidu, you and I made an agreement that Jingzhou and Yizhou will join hands to advance and retreat together to ensure peace. What's the result? Liu Jingzhou was betrayed and sent troops to the border of Yizhou. My lord ordered me to attack Xiangyang, not for the territory of Jingzhou. After the fall of Xiangyang, I led my army back. In the end, who took advantage of Jingzhou? My lord didn't care. It was Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, or Cao cào. ​​My lord didn't bother to pay attention to it. In short, Liu Jingzhou had given my lord's sincerity for several years and should pay the price."
The words are conclusive and the principles are surging.
Zhou Tai's words sounded really reasonable and realistic.
Kuai Yue sneered in his heart: Not for Jingzhou? If Guo Jia was defeated in Guanzhong, he would probably not be the less than 20,000 troops under Xiangyang City today.
There was a layer of implicit sound from Kuai Yue that could be heard.
"General Zhou, does this cost have to be the life of my lord?"
Kuai Yue asked tentatively.
If you have to take Liu Biao's orders, then Liu Biao will definitely fight back and there is nothing to say.
Zhou Taishen said lightly: "If Jingzhou is really sincere in peacekeeping, then take out a million yuan of money and grain so that I can give my lord a generation."
After saying that, Zhou Tai waved his sleeves and saw him off.
Kuai Yue really understood Zhou Tai this time, no, it should be Guo Jia's plan.
It's really cruel
The soldiers of Jingzhou did not step into Yizhou at all, but instead suffered heavy losses. In the end, they had to pay millions of grain to Yizhou.
Will Liu Biao agree?
Liu Biao agreed
Compared to wealth and life, what is money and food?
The civil and military officials in Jingzhou were dead from top to bottom and felt aggrieved in their hearts.
It's cowardly
I was beaten to my house and had to hand over the money and food to ask me to go back.
This is simply a shame.
To be honest, no one can blame it. Jingzhou also has responsibilities. Why are the generals like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who were born and died for Liu Biao in the early stage afraid of war today?
Because in the early stage they had to fight for power by making meritorious service and gain power, the Cai family firmly sat on the top chair of the Jingxiang clan, why should they put their heads on their waists?
Human life is often the more humble the more fearless the more it is, and the richer the more courageous it is.
Zhou Tai returned with a full load. After returning to Badong County, he began to recruit troops to make up for the lost troops. He also sent people to send money and grain to Fuling officials, asking Fuling officials to issue notices to provide pensions to the slaughtered relatives in Hanping County through the registered population.
As soon as the Taiping Army left, Jingzhou began to actively operate.
After this desperate situation, Liu Biao learned from his mistakes and planned to build and expand the military.
The princes can only feel safe if they have an army.
When Xiangyang was in danger, Zhang Xiu did not lend a helping hand. Liu Biao was unable to rely on Zhang Xiu, who was supporting him in Nanyang, in times of crisis. This made Liu Biao wake up. Sooner or later, he would still wipe out Zhang Xiu.
Expand the army, and the goal is to bring 200,000 troops in Jingzhou
Only in this way can Liu Biao no longer be afraid of Guo Jia after he got Guanzhong.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the former turtle, are now jumping around more than anyone else, and they have taken the responsibility of expanding the army with all their strength.
Obviously, everyone knows their ideas, which is nothing more than to further control the military power through expanding the army. Moreover, if they don’t hold this errand in their hands, it is difficult to guarantee that other colleagues will not snatch it away and then compete with them.
The war in Jingzhou has come to an end.
After returning to Chang'an, Guo Jia devoted himself to government affairs. After this war in Guanzhong, he had to deal with too many things.
The Taiping Army passed away in Chang'an, and the wealthy families in Yizhou and the people of Guanzhong welcomed each other and spontaneously rewarded the three armies.
The wealthy families in Yizhou paid and paid food to set up a celebration banquet, and they never tire of praise for Guo Jia, who was watching the world, and they rushed to the world...
Refusing to be Yuan Shao and Cao cào and keeping Guanzhong not only made the rich people in Yizhou cheer, but the people also breathed a sigh of relief. The peaceful days they hoped for finally had hope.
In the two counties in Guanzhong, Hongnong and Hedong, due to the war, delayed the pace of restoration of production and delayed Guo Jia's strong pace.
It doesn't matter. Guo Jia is patient. He can survive any hero in the world. Giving Guanzhong several years will also make Guo Jia's strength reach a higher level.
In the future plan, Guo Jia expects that he will have at least 400,000 troops
The next strategy is to rest and wait for the arrival of the Battle of Guandu.
Will he sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?
Won't
He wants to take the opportunity to sweep Guandong at the most critical moment of the Battle of Guandu
The government affairs were heavy, and Guo Jia was busy with food and food. He reviewed official documents in Chang'an Mansion. When he was buried in it, Xu Shu walked over and said to Guo Jia: "Lord, Ma Teng led his relatives to Xudu, and passed by Chang'an to visit his lord."
Guo Jia put down the pen and asked Xu Shu to invite Ma Teng in before he even started thinking.
At the moment Xu Shu left, Guo Jia started to think.
Ma Teng and his family moved to Xuchang, which must have been Cao cào's work.
When Ma Teng wanted to become a close minister of the emperor, Cao cào gave Ma Teng this opportunity.
Purpose?
Guo Jia guessed it almost exactly when he thought about it.
Contain Guanzhong.
Ma Teng could not give up his troops and territories to Xudu. His troops and territories in the west of Fufeng must have taken over. In this way, when Ma Teng went to Xudu, Cao cào was equivalent to pinching Ma Teng's seven inches of troops. After all, he still had to suppress Guo Jia and pinch Guo Jia.
Ma Teng, who entered the hall, was wearing no armor and an ordinary sleeve robe. He could not see the elegance of a literati in his rough man.
"Hahaha, let your style remain the same, and you will never win."
Ma Teng bowed to Guo Jia with a hearty smile.
Guo Jia smiled lightly and opened his hand to invite him to take his seat.
After the two exchanged greetings, they realized that he had received the imperial edict and took his sons to work in Xuchang. The troops and territories in the west of Fufeng were all taken over by Ma Chao.
Everything was almost the same as Guo Jia expected.
Guo Jia doesn't care about these things. He will not remind Ma Teng Cao to have ulterior motives and some things cannot be explained clearly.
Just as the two were having aroused their conversation and talked about the past when they fought side by side, Xu Shu came to the hall again, and did not avoid Ma Teng's presence, and bowed to Guo Jia: "Lord, Yuan Shu sent Yang Hong as an envoy to pay homage to him."
Yuan Shu?
Yang Hong?
Guo Jia was so amused that he was the rat crossing the street today?
