: Concealing the world
Guo Jia, who defended Guanzhong, was in a similar state of strength to Yuan Shao who returned to Hebei, who suffered a crushing defeat. Because he was the winner, during this period, Guo Jia's prestige in the world had surpassed Yuan Shao, and his reputation as the most powerful prince in the world turned from Yuan Shao to Guo Jia's side.
The emperor was weak and the Han Dynasty was in name only. Today, Guo Jia was undoubtedly the first person who could dominate the ups and downs of the world.
Many years ago, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, who were observing the celestial phenomena at night, had predicted the situation today. The dimness of the imperial court was a sign of the collapse of the Han Dynasty. The imperial teacher rose in the Central Plains, the imperial friends were eyeing the west, the doctor flashed and darkened in the south, slightly lit up, the three masters shone brightly in Hebei, while the Tai officials were waiting for the storm in the east.
Today, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji have seen the general trend and have understood the characters represented by the five stars of the princes. The imperial court is naturally Liu Xie, the imperial teacher is Cao Cao, the imperial friend is Guo Jia, the third duke is Yuan Shao, the doctor, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji think it is Liu Biao, and the Tai Li makes the two unable to understand.
A few years ago, they thought it was Liu Bei, and later, they thought it was Lu Bu, but this grand official was never dazzling, never disappeared, and the tepid trend was elusive. Combined with the hegemony of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, it seemed that it was not consistent.
The heavenly sign is a sign that may not be revealed in detail. In other words, perhaps a sign will happen ten years later and twenty years later, but may not be in front of you.
If Zuo Ciyuji could tell Guo Jia what they had speculated about when observing the celestial phenomena at night, then Guo Jia would only smile and tell them: The doctor in the south cannot be Liu Biao. Liu Biao only has ten years of life left, how can he control the world? The Grand Official would never be Lu Bu or Liu Bei. Liu Bei was just a passerby in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu was about to face the end of his journey.
The Eastern Grand Official, Guo Jiaruo came to guess, and expected that there was only one person, Sun Zhongmou.
As for Doctor Nanfang, Guo Jia may guess a result that shocked everyone: Zhuge Kongming.
In history, Zhuge Liang was a minister, not a master, but not a master, but not long after Liu Bei, the emperor who was in a blink of an eye, the Shu Han entered the reign of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, and he looked like an uncrowned emperor.
The destiny of heaven may be destined, while the heavenly sign changed according to the changes in the current situation. Guo Jia emerged from a new army. With this variable, if he knew that there were still doctors in the south and there were still officials in the east that had not awakened, he would probably use all the best to send people to kill Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan.
Cao Cao wanted to destroy Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and Sun Ce in the blink of an eye, and Guo Jia also wanted to let the current and future strong enemies return to the underworld.
In late autumn, Guo Jia personally led 10,000 guards to inspect the military camps in Badong and Hanzhong.
Standing at his height and having such a status as he is, not to mention that Liu Biao in Jingzhou sent countless detailed works to spy on intelligence in Yizhou, even Yuan Shao from Hebei cared about Guo Jia's every move every day.
The powers of the princes came and went against each other, and Guo Jia also sent me some works to the territories of the princes. Similarly, there must be many territories sent by other princes in his territory.
Guo Jia knew all this, but he could not prevent the enemy spies from appearing.
The vast crowds of people are so that Guo Jia can't make the city full of wind and rain just for a few meticulous works. The normal lives of the people will be disrupted by the tense and excessively harsh policies of the people in power. The meticulous works that spy on intelligence will not be grouped together. They will only be the most inconspicuous person in the crowd. Guo Jia can catch one today and one the day after tomorrow, but it will never be completed. The city gates in Chengdu will not be closed during non-war periods. Even if a military alarm is sounded in Yizhou, the city gates in all directions will only be closed at night.
If you do it carefully and search for a spy, it will cause panic and nervousness. If you do it in a low-key manner, the manpower and financial resources will be unimaginable. Moreover, every prince has such a situation. Guo Jia does not want to establish an independent force like the Jinyiwei. Although the original intention is good, such a department that controls the life and death of others will always deteriorate and decay and become a tool for personal gain by using power.
The news of Guo Jia's inspection of Badong and Hanzhong Navy Camp spread wildly. He neither went secretly, nor did he go there, and the formation of the navy and the construction of warships were open. The people of Yizhou knew that the other princes also heard the sound of the wind afterwards.
Jingzhou Xiangyang
Liu Biao is old, and his usual carefree and carefree attitude, which was always light and light, turned into a sad expression every day.
It is expected that by the spring of the following year, he will have 200,000 troops in Jingzhou.
This should have been a capital that makes him feel safe and able to look at all directions.
But he was not happy at all.
Smack
The bamboo slip with the Yizhou intelligence written by Liu Biao waved his hand to the ground. He was rarely so disobedient and so ungraceful.
"Guo Jia, Guo Jia, Guo Jia, why are you pressing each other aggressively?"
In the spacious, bright and exquisitely decorated hall, Liu Biao was furious. Cai Mao, who reported the military information, lowered his head, neither comforted Liu Biao nor helped him solve his problems.
The expansion of the army in Jingzhou has been arranged in private. Cai Mao has arranged the new army. He has troops installed in the new army. Although he is from the Jingxiang clan, he still understands the truth that a shallow but countless talented men and celebrities are unwilling to admit: only with soldiers can you have power, and there are talents, and you may not live long in troubled times.
No matter how many talents of the Jingxiang clan emerge, and when thousands of troops are overwhelming, your poetry, your talent, your talent, your background, and your family background cannot stop the swords and guns of an unknown man.
Liu Biao was the eight horses and a relative of the royal family. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were also famous scholars in Jingxiang. Cai Mao was not as good as them. When they were singing about the wind and the moon, Cai Mao did not even have the capital to support him. However, now, Cai Mao could even change the ownership of Jingzhou in a short time. He wanted to launch a mutiny. Liu Biao didn't even know how he died. His pillow was the daughter of the Cai family, but Cai Mao had no courage to jump up and became king and dominate. He could subvert Liu Biao's rule in Jingzhou, but he might not be able to govern Jingzhou well. At the same time, he could be on the same side as other princes. Moreover, because of his in-laws, he and Liu Biao naturally stood on the same front after the combination of interests.
Liu Biao could only vent his anger by smashing items like this.
After Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin withdrew their troops, Jingzhou and Guo Jia reconciled. Liu Biao thought he could rest assured for another ten years, because Cao Cao would enter a situation of competing with Yuan Shao next. Yuan Shu was about to face destruction after becoming emperor. Sun Ce from Jiangdong was unstoppable and had a strong spirit. This is a fact. However, Liu Biao supported 200,000 troops and was not afraid of Sun Ce. Jiangdong could not develop faster than Jingzhou, especially after Sun Ce sweeping Jiangdong, he would also enter a period of recuperation.
Guo Jia, who was most afraid of Liu Biao, just won Guanzhong. The focus of his rule in the next few years will definitely be Guanzhong.
But at this time, news came that Hanzhong and Badong formed a navy army.
Liu Biao's heart, which had just been let go for a few days, hanged again.
What does it mean to have naval troops in Hanzhong and Badong?
From Hanzhong and Badong, you can enter Nanyang County and Jianping County from the waterway, and with the army of infantry, Xiangyang may even be trapped in three north and southwest areas overnight.
The rivers flow from west to east. When the navy of Yizhou advances east, there will be a time when the navy of Jingzhou will go upstream and encounter a narrow geographical advantage in Yizhou.
"Master, what should I do now?"
The lifeless Liu Biao knelt at the low table that had been kicked over by him, silent for half an hour, as if he had entered into meditation. He closed his eyes and seemed to have passed away by a monk.
Cai Mao could understand Liu's mood.
After a few days of Ansheng's life, he had to worry. No one would have been able to accept such a blow.
When he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with disappointment like annihilation. Liu Biao never denies Cai Mao's ability. But at the critical moment, why did he only ask but not offer advice?
What should I do? What should I do?
Liu Biao laughed abnormally and stood up and waved his sleeves. Cai Mao said weakly: "Go down and prepare to build a naval army. Set up defenses at dangerous places on the river. At least before the Yizhou naval army is formed, Jingzhou must be prepared for precautions."
Liu Biao had no choice but to change the purpose of the army according to actual conditions.
Guo Jia had a navy army, so he could drive straight into the river, go down the river, attack Jingzhou, and attack Jiangdong, which was of course very useful.
There are naval troops in Jiangdong, and they can defend the south through the natural barriers of the Yangtze River, which will maximize the advantages of geographical advantage.
However, if Jingzhou has a navy, it may not have as many advantages and uses as Yizhou and Jiangdong.
Of course, if Liu Biao wants to attack Jiangdong, the navy will naturally be like a tiger with wings. But Liu Biao is the king who defends the country, guards Jiangdong, guards Yizhou, and surrounded the enemy on three sides.
At most, the navy in Jingzhou was to prevent Guo Jia from sending troops from the water route in Yizhou. Xiangyang was in the north of Jingzhou. If it was located south of the Yangtze River, the navy could play a good protective measures for Xiangyang, but Xiangyang could not take advantage of the Yangtze River barrier. Liu Biao's navy could not have any advantage over the enemies from the Central Plains in terms of function. If Cao Cao came to attack Xiangyang, he would definitely not take a boat, but ride a horse.
Guo Jia can take a boat or ride a horse.
This is the situation. Liu Biao passively assigned at least 100,000 of the 200,000 troops to form a naval army to guard against Guo Jia from Yizhou. You must know that after Guo Jia took Guanzhong, Yizhou could raise 200,000 troops in the past. This number may not change in the future. However, in the past, the 200,000 troops in Yizhou had to be guarded against Li Jue and Guo Si from Guanzhong. In the future, Guo Jia could draw more troops to fight eastward.
Kuai Yue, who got the news step by step, came to meet Liu Biao. Liu Biao was absent-mindedly in the study and waved his hand, "Yi Du, I am in a bad mood today, I will talk about it later if I have something to do."
Kuai Yue bowed and said, "Lord, Guo Jia builds a navy army in Yizhou, there may be other mystery in this matter."
snort
Liu Biao snorted coldly, put down the bamboo slips, and left with his sleeves.
Once, the two brothers Kuai Yue said that Guo Jia would focus on managing Guanzhong. In just a few months, news came from Yizhou that Guo Jia formed a naval army.
What does the navy use for? It must be going straight down the river
Liu Biao was in a bad mood at this time and didn't want to listen to what Kuai Yue said anymore. Anyway, it was true that Guo Jia formed a naval army. Regardless of whether there was a mystery or not, this was not fake.
