Chapter 63: Raise troops to destroy Wu
Guo Jia was angry at Gan Ning's disobedience to the fact that he violated the orders. The entire Chengdu officialdom was tacit. In front of outsiders, Guo Jia became increasingly violent and often got angry about small things. It seemed that he had scolded outsiders more times in the past twenty years than he had in the past twenty years.
But only a few people knew that Guo Jia was as calm as ever in private.
In the ancient study, Guo Jia and Guo Ye were kneeling against each other. Guo Jia was no longer angry and powerful. After being appointed as the prince, Guo Ye assisted Guo Jia in government affairs for more than half a year. His temperament has been completely renewed and he has put on a harmless mask.
"Ye'er, what is the most important thing in conquering the world?"
Guo Jia put his hands on his legs and looked at Guo Ye calmly.
Guo Ye blurted out without any hesitation.
"Military, horse, money, food, prestige of the people, cities, territories, civil officials and military generals."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed not satisfied with his answer, so he continued to add.
"The right time and place, people and power."
Guo Jia shook his head slightly and asked, "Five years after my father was promoted to Yizhou, he could fight Jingzhou, and his chances were 60%. Five years later, his chances were 80%. Until five years ago, when my father wanted to attack Jingzhou, even if Liu Biao mobilized the people of Jingzhou to share his life and death with him, his chances of winning were still more than 90%. Why did my father not take the initiative to attack Jingzhou?"
Excluding the Battle of Chibi, Guo Jia took the initiative to provoke a war with Jingzhou only once. That time, when Liu Bian entered Yicheng, he was thunderous and rushed to power.
In advance, Guo Jia had no idea that Liu Biao had appointed the governor of Jingzhou. If he knew, he would not take the initiative to attack.
Guo Ye's eyebrows were slightly condensed, as if he understood, but he was not penetrated. His thinking was in a vague stage, as if he was watching the flowers in the fog and separated by a layer.
Guo Jia stretched his left hand and said, "What Ye'er said before: soldiers, horses, money, grain, city, land, military generals, and counselors, etc. This is a necessary condition for a monarch to be strong. Without soldiers, horses, money, food, people's hearts, and strong ministers, etc., then the power ruled by this monarch cannot be strong. This is a necessary condition for the way to be strong."
After showing his right hand again, Guo Jia continued: "When the time and place are good, people seek power and position, or seek strength and prosperity, or defeat the enemy and win, this is the way to win."
With his fists and a light blow, Guo Jia asked: "But these two need to be combined together, but they still lack the same. To the outside world, it can be said to be in line with the will of heaven. In fact, it is the name of the kingly way!"
Guo Ye suddenly realized with enlightenment and nodded, "The strong have a way, but the weak rely on the strong to bully the weak."
Guo Jia smiled with relief.
"As a ruler, he will be more helpful, but he will be less helpful, and his morality lies in his power, and he will not be afraid of his will. Ye'er, remember, as a monarch, the primary priority of rule is benevolence and wisdom, and the foundation is the army. But the army is a double-edged sword. If it is a ruler, sooner or later, the army will be dispersed and collapsed. Therefore, whenever a kingly army is conquered, it will require a dignified drum and a righteous flag. Upholding justice, it will be invincible."
After hearing this, Guo Ye felt deeply, and immediately bent down and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Kids keep in mind the teachings of his father."
Guo Jia believes that Guo Ye can understand his words.
A war is a weapon.
How to use this weapon well is a priority for every monarch to consider.
Those who form the army are all humans, and people must have seven emotions and six desires. If the soldiers themselves have doubts and oppositions, then the army will inevitably have a significant decline in combat and may even collapse without fighting.
Nearly a year has passed, but it is still vivid in my mind. Although the Wulin fire caught Cao's army off guard, the Sun-Liu alliance was easily victorious and achieved a great victory without paying much casualties. The main reason was that the Cao army was ruled by thousands of people at that time, and the surrendered Jingzhou army was panicked and had no intention of fighting, so it was defeated in one battle and eventually the entire army was wiped out.
Guo Ye closed his eyes and pondered that Chibi may be just an example, but the defeat of many princes is essentially contrary to morality, such as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, Han Sui, Yuan Shao, etc.
The strong princes does not mean that they can sweep the world without any scruples and send troops to attack other princes. There must be a reason to stand firm. This is the most basic. If there is a reason that can make the internal unity and outsiders cannot criticize, then it will be even more confident.
From the theory to the reality, Guo Ye felt a little heavy inside.
There is nothing wrong with fighting against Cao Wei. Everyone in the world was punished.
There is no reason to fight Jiangdong. The two families are allies, but the Taiping Army could never fully trust Jiangdong.
"Father, Wu Hou is determined to be with you. If our army wiped out Cao Wei, can we continue to live in peace with Jiangdong?"
Guo Jia's eyes drooped slightly and said lightly: "Ye'er, if you were the Marquis of Wu, would you sit down and watch the Taiping Army defeat Cao Wei, and then take over Cao Wei's territory and occupy nine parts of the world?"
Guo Ye shook his head affirmatively, and suddenly became shocked. Guo Ye thought that if Sun Quan would not sit idly by and watch all this happen, then Gan Ning attacked Xiangfan in the north, the most important point in the Central Plains defense line of Cao Wei. Can Sun Quan watch Gan Ning break through Fancheng?
Just as he was about to make a statement, he reminded Guo Jia to warn Gan Ning, but Xiao Yi's voice came from the entrance of the study.
"Report to the lord, Military Advisor Pang sent an urgent report to him at 800 miles."
Urgent report?!
Guo Ye's heart trembled slightly, and his anonymous premonition made him feel more and more uneasy.
But Guo Jia's face did not change and he spit out a word coldly.
"read."
Xiao Yi opened the letter at the door and read it word by word. Even Xiao Yi began to tremble his hands while he was chanting himself. Guo Ye, who was sitting opposite Guo Jia in the room, punched the floor, and his clenched fists clattered.
The Marquis of Wu, Sun Quan, submitted a surrender to Cao Pi! He devoted all the troops from Jiangxia to attack Nanjun, and then pacified Yidu Jianping County!
Gan Ning led his army to withdraw from the Xiangfan front and returned to Xincheng, and the attack on Fancheng failed!
Gan Ning will be escorted back to Chengdu in three days, and nearly 100,000 troops will be rested in Badong County.
"Father! Sun Quan betrayed his faith and even bowed to the Cao thief! The act of a villain behind the scenes is simply shameless!"
Guo Ye was furious and roared at Guo Jia with gritted teeth.
After scolding Sun Quan in one breath, Guo Ye was stunned by himself because a pair of calm eyes were staring at him in front of him.
Guo Jia was not furious, his expression remained unchanged, but instead he was calm and stared at the eldest son in front of him.
Without Guo Jia saying anything more, Guo Ye immediately suppressed his anger in his chest and calmed down.
First, calmness, eternal law.
Seeing that he seemed to have become stable from a wild beast that had exploded, Guo Jia withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes and said softly: "Ye'er, go and summon all the officials of Yizhou Prefecture and all the military generals in the city to come to the mansion to discuss matters. After the civil and military service arrived, the letter sent by Shi Yuan was made public."
Guo Ye stood up and bowed, saying, "I'll do it now."
After saying that, Guo Ye stepped out of the study.
Guo Jia, who was sitting alone in the study, suddenly exhaled a long breath and calmed down his excitement.
Three major battles in the Three Kingdoms era.
During the Battle of Guandu, Guo Jia failed to participate in the war and swept the Central Plains.
In the Battle of Red Cliff, Guo Jia could not be considered the protagonist, but could only be regarded as a good show with the yellow birds coming later, and became a profitable fisherman.
In the third major battle, this protagonist, Guo Jia, is decided!
With good emotions brewing, Guo Jia opened his eyes, and his black and white eyes burst into a crazy and exciting light.
"Sun Zhongmou, thank you."
After taking the sword placed by the table, Guo Jia gently pulled out the sword with a cold light, and the sunlight reflected from the bright silver sword body reflected in his eyes, full of fighting spirit!
The front hall of the mansion is no longer a place for Chengdu officials to discuss and work, but today it is abnormal. The civil and military officials in the city hurried to the Guo Mansion and whispered in the front hall.
The hall was noisy. In fact, everyone has been under great psychological pressure in the past few months. Ma Chao of Guanzhong rebelled and Gan Ning violated the orders on the Xiangfan front. No one knew what shocking changes would happen next moment.
But even if the house is leaking and raining all night, the Taiping Army not only entered a troublesome autumn, but also caused troubles not to go alone.
Guo Ye read the urgent report sent by Pang Tong in public with a calm face. After reading it, he looked up again. Everyone in the hall was stunned and silent.
After a brief silence, the civil and military officials present broke out in full swing, and cursed endlessly. The generals were even more direct, all of whom were furious and suggested sending troops to siege Jiangdong.
Suddenly, the hall fell into silence again.
Everyone's eyes focused on a figure walking out from behind the hall.
Guo Jia, who was still calm in front of Guo Ye, actually walked up with a sword!
The handsome face showed a slightly ferocious look, and the always elegant temperament dissipated invisible, replaced by a completely violent one.
Clam
Guo Jia walked to the main seat and inserted his sword directly on the table. The long sword swayed and buzzed.
The sword is sunny and full of anger.
Guo Jia turned around and waved his hand. The sleeves of the dark red brocade robe raised a strong wind and the sound was loud.
His chest was undulating, Guo Jia looked around and opened his mouth and said loudly: "Sun Quan's son surrendered the thief of Cao, and he betrayed the alliance to attack Nanjun, cutting off the retreat of my 100,000 Taiping Army. What do he want to do? Is it aiding the evil and accomplice to the tiger? Sun Quan is unkind and unrighteous, what should I do? Everyone obeys the orders, from now on, I just want to hear one voice to destroy Wu!"
Everyone was stunned and shocked by Guo Jia's devouring expression, but then the crowd was excited and fighting spirit was high.
Standing in Guo Jia's position, he sent Jiangxia County in Jiangdong for free, and the other party actually repaid his grudges!
Not only did he not be grateful to Zaide for continuing to maintain the alliance, he actually made more efforts, and even tried to destroy Ganning's 100,000 troops in Jingzhou!
Surrendered to Cao Wei, this betrayal is thorough enough!
Dian Wei took the lead in getting out of the line and clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to wipe out Jiangdong for the vanguard and the lord!"
Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Zhang Yan, Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi and other military generals all left the list and asked for orders to fight.
The civil servants actually have different opinions on Guo Jia's fight with Jiangdong. The biggest reason is that there is a vicious wolf in Guanzhong. If Ma Chao is not solved, Zhang Liao's 100,000 troops will always be blocked from Yizhou.
However, the civil servant Xi Zhicai made a name for the example of the civil servant, but he bowed out at this time: "The lord intends to attack the Wu Hou Sun Quan, so he should issue a manifesto first to inform the world that Sun Quan violated the alliance and turned to the bandit camp. Our Taiping Army launched an army to attack him to seek justice!"
The generals looked at Xi Zhicai sideways, and a feeling of admiration suddenly arose.
This literati is unique and can speak so confidently about fighting and seek justice. Yes, the Marquis of Wu must pay the price of never turning over for this justice!
