Chapter VIII The Princes of One Party

The two generals under Guo Jia's command, Xu Chu Dianwei, fought together to tie Lu Bu, and another general Zhang Yan forced Lu Bu to flee. Perhaps others seemed to be unfair to win, but Guo Jia did not agree. There was never a fair statement in the showdown between the two armies, otherwise Lu Bu would not be able to escape at all, because the war horse under his crotch was the best in the world.
After Lu Bu ran back, he was very angry, but he was indeed defeated and had to bow his head and say nothing.
The raised hand was never waved, and Dong Zhuo's mind was intertwined with the thoughts of fighting or not fighting, but seeing the soldiers behind Guo Jia's uniform and fighting spirit, he suppressed his anger and said a word rudely.
"Guo Jia, do you have to fight with me today?"
After Zhang Yan, Dian Wei and Xu Chu returned, Guo Jia, who was straddling the flame horse, had a more relaxed expression.
"Tai Shi, I said, you will give me 30% of the wealth in Luoyang and send me the family to me. I will take my troops away immediately."
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "Who do you want?"
"Cai Yong and his wife."
Guo Jia's answer surprised both Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
They did not expect that the person Guo Jia wanted was Cai Yong. According to their previous speculation, they thought that Guo Jia would ask for the emperor, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have been angry and ordered Lu Bu to take down Guo Jia's head.
The emperor is Dong Zhuo's amulet. If you really want to steal the emperor from Dong Zhuo, it is equivalent to taking his life.
Since it was Cai Yong's family, Dong Zhuo had no objection and ordered someone to invite Cai Yong and his wife out of the families of officials behind the army.
We had already learned that the person who led the troops to block the road was Guo Jia. When Cai Yong and his wife were pushed to the front, they all looked hated as if they had seen their enemies.
"Taishou, I don't want to follow him. It's better to kill me now."
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, Guo Jia was not even a rebel. He was a real thief. Cai Yong's great scholar was also the target of his efforts to win over. Dong Zhuo did not want to drive Cai Yong away unless he had no choice but to drive Cai Yong away, but now his life was comparable to Cai Yong, so he could only sacrifice Cai Yong.
Perhaps everyone thinks that Cai Yong and Guo Jia have a mortal grudge, and they want Cai Yong to avenge him at this moment.
After all, after Cai Yong's daughter was castrated and exiled to the northwest, news of her illness and death in the wilderness came within two months. Cai Yong and his wife did not even have the chance to collect their daughter's body.
The culprit of the tragedy was Guo Jia. Ninety percent of the world believed that Guo Jia raped Cai Yan and made Cai Yan pregnant. Cai Yong, a great scholar, lost his beloved daughter.
When he rode his horse slowly to Dong Zhuo's army, Guo Jia was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's courage to act rashly. Now that the two sides have reached a consensus and have begun to negotiate terms, a rash attack will only push the situation in a bad direction.
"Mr. Cai, I don't care whether you believe it or not. I want you to follow me because I want you to reunite your husband and his daughter."
After saying this, Guo Jia turned his horse and walked back, but turned around and said softly: "I have a son named Guo Ye. According to blood, he is your grandson."
Cai Yong was dumbfounded. Although he was still surprised and suspicious, he believed it eight points because he knew his weight. Guo Jia wanted to kill him and had the opportunity to draw his sword just now.
The wife beside her heard that Cai Yan was still alive and gave birth to another son, and was shocked and excited on her face, but she could not speak out to urge Cai Yong to leave with Guo Jia, so she had to pull Cai Yong's clothes with grievance and timidity.
With a long sigh, Cai Yong lowered his head and walked towards Guo Jia's army with his wife.
After Cai Yong and his wife entered the cavalry team, Guo Jia said to Dong Zhuo again: "Trial Master, 30% of the wealth of Luoyang. According to my visit to the Ma Lai, you transported hundreds of trucks of wealth from Luoyang. So, I only need a hundred trucks. How about it?"
Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger and his fists were already trembling. Li Ru, who was beside him, couldn't help but say, "Tai Shi, money, money, external things, if you fight, can you lose your troops and lose your generals be comparable to a hundred cars of money?"
Dong Zhuo also thought of this, but he was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to use the dangerous situation of Guhan to resist the Kanto Alliance, but he did not expect that he would fall here first.
"Guo Jia, if you break your promise, even if Dong is buried here today, he will fight you to the death."
Seeing Dong Zhuo holding back his anger, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Tao Shi, think about it, if I get a hundred cars of money, if I fight with you again, why don't I fight with you directly? Isn't it better to ambush?"
It makes sense. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru agreed with Guo Jia's words, so they ordered their subordinates to escort a hundred cars of money to Guo Jia.
While the soldiers were busy, Dong Zhuo looked up at the lush mountain and asked loudly at Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, will you stay in Guanzhong in the future?"
Li Ru was also very afraid of this. If Guo Jia hides in Guanzhong, it would be a huge hidden danger after all. He stares at Guo Jia with a solemn expression to see what he has to answer.
Guo Jia said with a relaxed smile on his face and said, "Taishi, I will give you an idea. The four major passes in Guanzhong, south, west and northwest of Guanzhong, you have strong generals in Hangu Pass. After you arrive in Chang'an, you will send people to guard the other three dangerous passes, and then you will be able to defend the walls and clear the fields. If I am in Guanzhong, I will sooner or later fail. If the Taishi thinks it is troublesome, I will recruit a large army after entering Chang'an. If it is easy to destroy the forces in Guanzhong, it will be easy to defeat it. As long as I have no city to gain a foothold, no one can take away the land of Guanzhong, right?"
Dong Zhuo, who narrowed his eyes and was surprised and confused, also knew that what Guo Jia said made sense, so he stopped asking.
As for where Guo Jia will go in the future, Dong Zhuo doesn't care. If he still entrenches in Guanzhong, then plan to wait until he arrives in Chang'an.
Sitting in the carriage, watching the soldiers escort the carriage to the front, the emperor Liu Xie had bit his lips.
"Rebellious ministers, traitors. Guo Jia, you, you have let me down!"
Dong Zhuo is a rioter, and Guo Jia is a traitor. The word "rebellious" makes Liu Xie almost suffocate.
At this moment, Liu Xie finally understood why Guo Jia didn’t help him back then. Liu Xie believed that Guo Jia had already had a rebellious heart!
Now that Guo Jia, who has already had elite soldiers and powerful generals, knows that it will never be possible for this person to serve him.
After the delivery of the hundred vehicles of wealth was completed, Dong Zhuo said to Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, what you want, Dong has already given it to you, why don't you lead the troops away?"
Looking up at the sky, as if he was hesitating about something, Guo Jia finally showed a kind smile.
"Teacher Dong, thank you, I will never see you later."
Just as Guo Jia turned his horse's head, a sudden change broke out.
The earth-shaking sound came from Mount Gou. Dong Zhuo and others looked up and were shocked and were all terrified.
I saw countless giant trees rolling down from Mount Wu. Although they were not coming towards the army, they rolled behind and blocked the way forward.
Giant trees piled up in front of him, and Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted at Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, do you dare to break the promise? Do you think that I, Dong Zhuo, really dare not meet you?"
Guo Jia, who was leaving the army, turned around and looked at a team of two thousand people on the mountain, down from the high slope, led the horse back to the team under Gao Shun's command, and then turned his eyes to Dong Zhuo. Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "Tai Shi Dong, as you can see, there are only two thousand soldiers on this mountain, and there are only three thousand soldiers behind me. In total, only five thousand soldiers. Now come up to fight with me, and the Tai Shi will definitely wipe out my entire army."
After saying that, Guo Jia smiled at the sky and turned around and left unscrupulously.
Dong Zhuo also saw that there were only a few thousand people coming down from Mount Kou, and Guo Jia's troops were as he said, at most five thousand.
Kill or not?
Li Ru next to him was already in a state of chaos!
Guo Jia! A genius is not a false reputation.
Even if you want to chase Guo Jia at this time, you have to move away the giant tree blocking the road in front of you first. This will take time. If the infantry chases you, it will be like a death. Even if you run two legs across the horse's four legs, facing the cavalry, you will be a death.
Guo Jia said openly that he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, but Li Ru dared not believe it, but he also became suspicious if he didn't believe it.
What if there were Guo Jia’s ambush in front of him? This person is good at winning by making a brilliant plan. What if he lured the enemy into the deepest at this moment?
Li Ru shook his head with a grim expression, laughed at himself and said, "It's better to be a little bitchy."
While ordering the soldiers to move away from the giant tree blocking the road in front of him, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru: "Li Ru, Guo Jiaruo really has a large army, why don't he kill me?"
The evil Taishi Dong himself knew that everyone was punished by him now, and he still knew that he had this little bit.
Li Ru smiled bitterly and asked, "Taoshi, what will happen to the emperor if you are in a desperate situation?"
With a violent look filled with eyes, Dong Zhuo cut his teeth and said, "The emperor must die in front of me!"
Li Ru asked again: "Guo Jia was an imperial offensive in the court. Even if he had troops to divide the country, the world would be difficult to tolerated. Unless the emperor pardoned him, he could only be justified. If he fought with the Grand Tutor, the emperor would die. Guo Jia would have no benefit at all."
The situation is so subtle. No matter how many soldiers Guo Jia has, Dong Zhuo does not want to lose his troops and cause trouble. He cannot bear Guo Jia's crazy behavior and wants to fight, but he can't make up his mind.
After a heavy snorting, Dong Zhuo held back his anger, but frowned and asked, "If Guo Jia entrenched in Guanzhong, it will always be a big problem."
Li Ru shook his head and sighed: "Guo Jia is a man who is in danger and can survive in a desperate situation. In addition to some luck, he is more a person who is good at planning and then moves. After being dormant for nearly two years, he must have a lot of plans. The Grand Tutor can guess where Guo Jia will go now? Hangu Pass has been heavily guarded by the Grand Tutor, and the direction of Guo Jia leaving is west. Doesn't the Grand Tutor still understand?"
Dong Zhuo widened his eyes like a bronze bell and blurted out: "Yizhou!"
Li Ru nodded with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, never expected that when the Guandong coalition forces fought fiercely with the Grand Tutor, there would be a group of people going to kill Yizhou, where he had just gained a foothold. I am afraid that Liu Yan would not have heavy troops to guard the natural dangerous passage between Hanzhong and Guanzhong, because there was no great enemy in Guanzhong. In his opinion, the Hanzhong Fortress was only consuming money and food. Alas, Yizhou, the largest in the world, is about to change the world."
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and asked, "How to prevent Guo Jia from moving the capital to Chang'an?"
Li Ru said in a stern voice: "Even if Guo Jia conquered Yizhou, he would not be able to expand outward within five years. If the Grand Tutor is not at ease, he can send people to guard the southern Xiongguan Sanguan and Longyou after moving the capital to Chang'an. Guo Jia wants to conquer Guanzhong, and if the strong soldiers are at a high level, he will take the road to Longyou. If the Grand Tutor is weak, the strange troops will go out to seize Chencang. However, the Grand Tutor will not plan for Guanzhong within five years. If the Grand Tutor still wants to compete for the world, he will compete with Guo Jia. If he only wants to dominate one side, he can stick to the dangerous and narrow borders."
After making suggestions to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was slightly lost.
Guo Jia, you chose the best place in the world but the least you shouldn't have.
In the north of Yizhou, the Grand Master will definitely not invade you.
To the east of Yizhou, Jingzhou is now in chaos.
However, Yizhou is more than enough to dominate the world, and it is hard to reach the sky.
