Chapter 67: Wishful Aspirations

Holding Da Qiao's soft face by the bed, Guo Jia had not opened his mouth to comfort her, Da Qiao closed her eyes tightly and said resolutely: "If your husband really wants to send a son to Xuchang, just choose Yu'er." """

There are no princes in the world who care about the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but after all, it was an edict sent, and Guo Jia could choose to ignore it. He was not afraid of the consequences. However, a woman like Da Qiao had a natural irresistible tendency towards the imperial edict in her heart.

"Why is this trouble? Who said I want to send my son to Xuchang?"

Guo Jia's mouth is full of bitterness.

This was originally a political incident, but now it has caused panic and no peace in the family. One by one, the look of frowning as if the doomsday is coming, Guo Jia felt very uncomfortable.

Da Qiao raised his hand and stroked the back of Guo Jia's hand holding her face, with a sad face, but said firmly: "I will know that the world needs my husband on the day I meet him. If I am destined to sacrifice, even if I am reluctant to leave, I will not be a burden to my husband."

As he said that, tears fell like rain.

Guo Jia took a handkerchief from her other hand, hurriedly wiped her tears, and said with heartache: "Is it not what I said clearly? I never said I would send my son to Xuchang. Does it mean that I agreed without public rejection? Okay, okay, I will tell you solemnly that I will not send anyone to Xuchang. Sending him to death is also meaningless. Also, those who say that Yu'er is not doing their jobs are ignorant and short-sighted. Let me tell you that I am very satisfied with Yu'er. It is a very good thing to be aware of him. If he achieves something, it will benefit the country and the people, and even the future."

Da Qiao was shocked by Guo Jia's words.

In the first half of the sentence, she can accept it, whether to resist the order or obey the order, it is just Guo Jia's thought. As long as Guo Jia says no, except for conquering by force, what can Cao Cao do to him?

In the second half of the sentence, Da Qiao felt that Guo Jia was confused, right?

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, whether carpenters or craftsmen, have very low social status. It is common for ordinary people to seek livelihood and engage in industry.

However, Guo Jia's status and such a son, the gossip of outsiders has long made Guo Yu useless and even humiliated the style of the Guo family.

Da Qiao didn't want Guo Yu to really engage in this industry in the future. In the past, he just thought that Guo Yu was a child and had a heart-to-heart play. Later, he found out that this was not the case. Guo Yu couldn't be energetic about anything else, but he was the most energetic about strange things.

"Husband, don't comfort me. I just hope that Yu'er can be safe with just one sound. No other hope."

Da Qiao said with a wry smile.

Guo Jia gave her helplessly and asked, "Don't look down on Yu'er's hobbies. Think about it carefully, whose farming tools, water conservancy construction, and equipment improvements in the army are all from? People in the world are like you, looking down on Ma Deheng who truly possesses talents. Poetry and song empowerment can be used as food? Can the harvest be made more? Can the soldiers' armor and weapons be stronger and sharp? Ma Deheng's contribution to me is no less than tens of millions of stones of money and grain, and a prince or even a country is prosperous and strong. A talent like Ma Deheng is the most critical talent. Do you understand productivity? Forget it, why do I tell you this? As long as you remember, no matter how others think of Yu'er, you and I are his parents, you should support him unconditionally, encourage him, and let him not give up, and devote yourself to the cause you love wholeheartedly."

If an ordinary family works hard for a livelihood, Guo Jia will definitely not support Guo Yu, a hobby that may not have success in his life, because people must be down-to-earth. If they are not even guaranteed to live, what are the interests and hobbies to talk about? To realize their dreams, we must start from reality.

But now Guo Jia's family is big and his descendants can have food and clothing without worries. Then, they can develop their own interests and hobbies and devote themselves to an industry without worries. Even if they achieve nothing, at least there will be no crisis of starvation.

Da Qiao was stunned by Guo Jia's lesson. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Finally, she showed a helpless smile.

"I always say something that makes me think for a long time. I always listen to you. It's not too early, is your husband resting here today?"

Guo Jia looked at her tear-stained face after crying, and pulled her up and walked out.

"Look at your face, walk around, take a shower first and then go to bed."

Da Qiao pursed her lips and followed Guo Jia obediently. She had to look around after leaving the room to see if there were any servants passing by. She didn't want her tears to be seen by outsiders.

For several days, the atmosphere in the Yizhou Prefecture Council was very serious. The military generals advocated fighting, but the civil officials did not object, but did not agree.

Guo Jia has never made any statement, wanting to see who will come to make suggestions to him for compromise.

But no one came to see Guo Jia privately these days. Guo Jia laughed at himself. This kind of thing is to shoot the first bird. Without a high-ranking person taking the lead, even if the subordinate officials change their minds, they will never be able to express their feelings.

Fortunately, the upper ruling team was able to work together without any disagreement. This sign made Guo Jia feel relieved of the internal situation, because next, his energy will be focused on external strategies.

That day, as soon as Guo Jia sat down in the meeting hall, the generals below began to make suggestions to Guo Jia.

"Lord, the current situation is, the general of the General of the United States understands, isn't it the governor of Jingzhou that is about to die? If he dies, we don't care. As long as we send troops to wipe out Cao Cao first, turn around and take over Jingzhou, it's all over? The general of the General of the Republic is not boasting or arrogant. He starts a war with Cao Cao with his sword and gun. This vanguard will let me take the lead. If he is defeated, the general of the Republic of the Republic will not be willing to die, and the lord will retreat and protect himself."

Dian Wei's tone was half impatient and half full of fighting spirit.

The most annoying thing about military generals is Moji. The civil servants do not speak up, but in fact they oppose sending troops. The military generals think it is because the civil servants do not support them, so Guo Jia hesitated and Dian Wei's eyes were also sweeping the civil servants' side when he was talking.

It’s a pity that the civil officials were headed by Xi Zhicai, and no one in the row responded.

After delaying for so many days, Guo Jia should make a formal statement. Just as he was about to speak, a guard outside came into the hall to report.

"Lord, the governor of Liangzhou, Ma Chao, hired his son for his son, and asked the lord to agree to the marriage between the eldest lady and her son."

The guards were just passing messages to express the meaning of the person coming from outside.

Guo Jia's eyes turned to the door. In the courtyard, someone was busy carrying exquisitely wrapped gift boxes, which looked like a betrothal gift.

His face became gloomy and Guo Jia slapped the table.

"Nothing! Who came from Ma Chao?"

The guard who came in to report immediately knelt down and replied, "Capital Yang Qiu."

Guo Jia picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out, shouting angrily: "Call Yang Qiu to get back to me! When can I get private matters openly to Yizhou Prefecture to discuss? Also, let him tell Ma Chao to do his job well!"

Yang Qiu, who was waiting outside the door, heard Guo Jia's roar in the hall and was so scared that he ran out of Yizhou Prefecture. He thought that being arranged by Ma Chao to come to Chang'an this time was a good job. Ma Chao was a member of the party and Guo Jia was a hero. The master and minister were relatives, which was a happy event no matter how you look at it.

But he didn't know that the wealthy families in Yizhou wanted to get along with Guo Jia in the past. Not only was they rejected by Guo Jia, but they also warned others not to hit his daughter.

Guo Jia's reaction was expected by the civil and military officials in the hall.

First of all, Guo Jia hates the most inseparable from public and private affairs, and how can he discuss the marriages of his children in Yizhou Prefecture? Where does this place be?

Secondly, maybe Ma Chao didn't know Guo Jia's previous warning to the rich people of Yizhou, but this was Guo Jia's reverse scale and could not be violated by others.

What should be given to the Ma family, Guo Jia gave more than everyone expected.

What was the status of the Ma family in the northwest before? Under the rule of several counties, they had to be worried about others' invasions.

Now? Although Ma Chao's position as the governor of Liangzhou is not big, even the county prefect is not as good as that of the county prefect, Guo Jia gave him the power to mobilize troops. Except for Ma Chao, under Guo Jia, only Zhang Liao had the power to mobilize troops in Chang'an, and it was just a defense.

Ma Chao sent someone to propose marriage, but there was no other explanation except for seeking marriage.

He put away his anger, Guo Jia still stood and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, I'll wait for you to return to the camp for five days. Five days later, I will take you and your soldiers north to Guanzhong and join forces with the Guanzhong Army and horses to capture Luoyang first!"

The civil and military officials in the hall were shocked.

Guo Jia even put the imperial edict aside and didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he launched a war with Cao Cao directly.

After the generals were surprised, they immediately clasped their fists to take the order.

On the side of the civil minister, Xi Zhicai moved out of the line, bowed and said softly: "Please think twice by lord."

Behind him, Peng Yi, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Qin Mi and others all made a list of the proposal, hoping that Guo Jia would carefully consider this resolution.

Just as I ignored the advice of the generals a few days ago, this time, Guo Jia just waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, I have decided."

The civil and military officials dispersed, and Guo Jia closed his eyes and sat down.

At this moment, the strategy of destroying Cao will officially begin.

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Guo Jia murmured to himself: "Cao Mengde, I don't know which one of you and me was plotted against this time?"

The military generals were actively preparing for the war, leaving Yizhou Prefecture with a quick and urgent pace, but most of the civil officials were frowning. Zhen Yan and Peng Yan gathered together to mutter, thinking about the pros and cons of the pros and cons of the dispatch of troops this time.

"At this time, the lord rushed north, and there may be disadvantages or advantages."

Although Zhen Yan is not outstanding in strategy, he can still see this trick.

Guo Jia's troops went from Chengdu to Guanzhong. If Jingzhou changes and the navy of Hanzhong and Badong alone cannot sweep Jingzhou, then the mobilization of troops from Guanzhong will definitely not be as fast as Cao Cao's direct pounce on Jingzhou in the Central Plains. The journey will be long and short, and the result will be very different.

Peng Xiao nodded in agreement with Zhen Yan's words, Jia Xu passed by the two of them, and Peng Xiao turned his head and asked him: "Do you know the lord's intention to go north this time?"

No matter how you look, this is all giving Cao Cao the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou first. Guo Jia doesn’t have to fight Cao Cao at this time.

Jia Xu's face was calm and he shook his head and sighed: "You can't guess the lord's thoughts."

With a bow, Jia Xu's humble expression returned to indifference when he turned around and walked out.

In fact, he knew Guo Jia's intentions, Xi Zhicai, Pang Tong, and Qin Mi, all knew it, but he could not speak out.

Cao Cao wanted to distract Guo Jia from his attention, and Guo Jia happened to be marching his army north as he wished.

It seems to be exactly what Cao Cao thought.

Jia Xu showed a strange smile for a long time.

Whose plan is more powerful?
