Chapter 5: A World of the World
Since he was in a desperate situation in Jingzhou County and had been walking around outside the gates of hell, Guo Jia became cautious in his actions and rarely took risks. Therefore, other princes often suffered losses due to carelessness. However, Guo Jia rarely died in a general. This was not only responsible for himself but also for his family, but also for his civil and military officials.
Without experiencing the despair on the edge of death, few people understand the preciousness of survival.
Cai Yan can see through Guo Jia's intention of making Guo Ye like this at a glance, just to make Guo Ye the successor.
As Guo Ye's mother, Cai Yan naturally hopes that his son can inherit everything from Guo Jia, but it's too early.
Guo Jia is less than 40 years old and is in his prime. As a monarch, he has just begun to make a successor, but he has arranged a successor in advance. This is not a good sign. At least in Cai Yan's eyes, this seems to be a sign that Guo Jia arranged his funeral.
Guo Jia has always been determined. It is very likely that Guo Jia will face an unpredictable war in the future. Because Guo Jia is not sure whether he can return safely, he must prepare for all his funerals and prevent someone from standing up and leading the army after an accident.
Cai Yan threw herself into Guo Jia's arms and burst into tears, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.
Not only men can be young and frivolous, but the former talented woman in Luoyang is also arrogant.
Twenty years have passed, and she turned around and found that she had been childish, innocent, and arrogant when she was young. She admired Ban Zhao since she was a child and had the idea of ​​changing the times, but twenty years later, she found that her greatest happiness was to watch over her husband.
After she discovered that Guo Jia intended to make Guo Ye the prince, she gradually became panicked.
Other princes only thought about their successors when they were old, but Guo Jia abnormally put this matter on the agenda at this time, obviously preparing for the funeral.
Cai Yan is not generous, she doesn't care about the beautiful country and the people. If she can grow old with Guo Jia and is destined to make Guo Jia lose the opportunity to win the world, then Cai Yan would give up her happiness twenty years ago and let Guo Jia relieve all her worries and move towards the road to rule the world. But twenty years later, she would rather Guo Jia be safe than see Guo Jia take risks again.
Looking at Cai Yan with love, Guo Jia held up her tender face and wiped away the tears of her pear blossoms. Guo Jia lowered his head and faced each other and said softly: "My wife, heroes come from troubled times. When I was young, I had the wish to govern the country and pacify the world. And I also gathered around me with people of the same ambitions, Zhicai, Yuan Zhi, Wen Ruo, but it has been twenty years since the rebellion of the army, but I feel extremely tired. A prosperous world and a prosperous era. I only
I can do something, conquer the world, and sometimes I also think that it is not good to be alone? Is it not good to be free in the world? But today, I have no way back, but I always want to be kind to myself, and linger with my beautiful wife and good family. Therefore, I want to end this troubled times as soon as possible, and then take you, Jiang Er, Qiao Diaochan and others to leave this overwhelming secular world and live a truly free and comfortable life."
Cai Yan stared at Guo Jia in a daze, and a look of yearning and joy suddenly appeared in his misty eyes.
Now, she understands.
Guo Jia's intention is not to prevent Guo Ye from taking the lead after an accident, but to truly cultivate a successor, a successor who helps Guo Jia fulfill his wish to govern the country. What Guo Jia himself wants to do is just to pacify the world.
"What? Can't bear to give up the glory and wealth? Don't forget, I said back then that you will never be in power in this life. According to the current situation, I am plotting against others all day long, and you are pampered and living a favorable life. In the future, I will definitely die before you, so, my wife, I will not give you the opportunity to influence Ye'er."
Guo Jia smiled and was amusing. After hearing this, Cai Yan broke free from Guo Jia's arms, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face, and gave Guo Jia helplessly.
"You are just joking. If you really walk in front of me, what's the point of living? Then you'll be buried with you and accompany you on your way."
Guo Jia laughed loudly, pointed at Cai Yan and said, "Look, why don't you and I go to find a burial place with good feng shui now?"
Cai Yan suddenly came over and raised his pink fist and hit Guo Jia's chest with a heavy blow.
"Husband, from now on, don't talk about unlucky words, otherwise, I will join hands with my sisters to isolate my husband."
......
After leaving Chengdu, Lu Su returned to Jiangdong without stopping, riding fast horses during the day and riding a carriage at night. The fatigue of the carriage made him physically and mentally exhausted, but at this critical moment of survival, he endured this little bit of suffering.
Chaisang is a county town built on the mountain, where Sun Quan is here.
After Lu Su came back, he met Sun Quan immediately, and Zhou Yu was also present.
As for Zhuge Liang's verbal battle against the scholars, Sun Quan also expressed his position in front of Jiangdong's civil and military officials: to resist Cao to the end!
The Sun-Liu alliance reached a consensus to unite to fight against Cao!
But at this moment, the number of winners and losses is still Sun and Liu at a disadvantage.
Sun Quan couldn't wait to learn Guo Jia's reply.
Assuming that Guo Jia did his best to restrain Cao Cao in the north, it would be of great help.
The best situation is that before Cao Cao integrated the Jingzhou army, Luoyang was captured by Guo Jia. In this way, Cao Cao might not attack Jiangdong, but instead guarded Jingxiang and rushed back to stop Guo Jia from sweeping the Central Plains.
Lu Su walked over and was about to salute, but Sun Quan immediately stood up from his seat and walked to Lu Su to hold his arms. Seeing Lu Su's tired look, he said unbearably: "Zi Jing has been running around for thousands of miles and has suffered! There is no need to salute, sit down and drink water to rest first."
In fact, Sun Quan was very anxious, but he could not ignore Lu Su's tired appearance.
After Lu Su sat down, he didn't know what he said directly: "Report to the lord, the envoy Guo is willing to help Jiangdong, but there are two more points worth discussing in this matter."
Sun Quan was happy at first, then frowned and asked, "What's the matter? You might as well speak out."
Lu Su hesitated for a moment and said, "First, Guo Envoy Jun promised that he would send troops from Hanzhong to attack Cao's thieves. This matter is not very credible. There are two reasons. First, if the 100,000 naval troops in Hanzhong and Badong cross the border, once they are defeated, the east gate of Yizhou will be wide open. Guo Envoy Jun only has tens of thousands of guards and new troops in Chengdu. If Cao Envoy Jun raises 150,000 troops and sieges to attack Chengdu, Chengdu will probably fall. Guo Envoy Jun will not expect this, but he will not risk his naval troops to throw away Yizhou. Furthermore, Guo Envoy Jun has always been famous for his military use, so he will never tell the true thoughts in his heart."
Sun Quan nodded frequently as he listened to Lu Su's analysis.
If there is no barrier between Hanzhong and Badong, Cao Cao in Jingzhou is very likely to leave Jiangdong without fighting, and will first fight Hanzhong, and then cut off the connection between Yizhou and Guanzhong with the natural danger of Daba Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, and then form a double-team for Chengdu. Guo Jiaruo really uses the 100,000 naval army, which is too risky!
His eyes turned to Zhou Yu, who was sitting quietly in his seat, and Sun Quan asked: "What do Gongjin thinks about this?"
Zhou Yu actually doesn't expect Guo Jia to send troops, or whether Guo Jia intervenes in the battle between Cao Sun is not important.
Hope can never be placed on others!
The heroic Zhou Yu said lightly: "During the Battle of Guandu, the first lord sent Gu Yong to Chengdu as an envoy. At that time, Guo Jia told Gu Yong that he wanted to attack Jingzhou, but he stationed troops in Guanzhong to sweep the Central Plains. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians in the territory and the rebellion of Zhang Baiqi, the outcome of the Battle of Guandu would be a different scene. From this, it can be seen that Guo Jia is a treacherous and cunning person and should not be trusted. Now, he said he would send troops to Jingzhou, so he might still attack the east and west."
Sun Quan frowned and thought about it, questioning the two of them.
"If Guo Jia decides to send troops from the north, why would he deceive us?"
No matter how Guo Jia deploys in Jiangdong, he will fight Cao Cao to the end.
Guo Jia would not care whether Jiangdong came to form an alliance or not, and he would definitely make a profit from it.
So Sun Quan is puzzled, since everyone is acting according to their own scripts, is it necessary to deceive his allies?
Lu Su smiled bitterly and explained: "Lord, Guo Envoy Jun promised to send troops from Yizhou to attack Cao's thief, so that he would make the lord determined to fight Cao's thief to the end."
Sun Quan suddenly realized.
Jiangdong may either fight or surrender. Obviously, Guo Jia does not want to see Jiangdong surrender. So in order to strengthen his determination to resist Cao, Guo Jia's aid is very important.
In the eyes of the world, Jiangdong is now a drowning person. If Guo Jia is willing to provide assistance, he at least gave Jiangdong a life-saving straw.
Therefore, the frontal battlefield is in the south. Guo Jia sent troops to directly participate in the frontal battlefield, which will increase the chance of victory for Jiangdong.
But based on reality, Guo Jia's troops from the south can provide less aid than he did his best to attack Luoyang in the north.
Luoyang was broken and the Central Plains was in danger. Cao Cao even had no time to care about Yecheng and Xuchang.
Sun Quan pondered Guo Jia's thoughts. If he was Guo Jia, he would have sent troops from the north no matter how the south fought. And it must have been after the battle between Cao and Sun. In this way, Cao Cao suffered losses in the south and was in a hurry to the north. Regardless of life or death in Jiangdong, the purpose of reaping profits could be easily achieved.
"Zi Jing, what else is there?"
Sun Quan came to his senses and his face became solemn. Guo Jia couldn't count on it, or he could only rely on his own in the front battlefield. This was also something he had prepared for.
After a while, Lu Su said, "Envoy Guo wants Jingzhou."
Sun Quan was stunned, while Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Jingzhou?
Jingzhou, which has already been salivating in Jiangdong!
"Zijing, have you agreed to Guo Jia?"
Zhou Yu stared at Lu Su with anger.
Lu Su smiled bitterly.
"What qualifications do you have to agree to this kind of thing? Even if you agree to it, will Guo Zhijun agree to it?"
Zhou Yu's face was slightly relaxed.
Jingzhou, no matter what, it cannot be given to Guo Jia!
