Chapter 229 Guo Jiazhi's Policy
Guo Jia's words were amazing, and even Cao Cao was surprised at this time. He never paid attention to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and now Guo Jia clearly regards Liu Biao as a rare opponent.
"Is Feng Xiao too cautious? There is nothing to be surprised if there are one or two talents in a small Jingzhou. Liu Biao looks too highly of Liu Biao." Cao Cao said doubtfully.
"Lord, I'm talking about Liu Qi. Wen Ruo first said that Liu Qi was the great enemy of the lord, and it didn't take long for the news of defeat. I think Liu Qi must be related to this defeat. Otherwise, how could Liu Biao's ability think of taking back Wancheng at this time, and how could he make Wen Ruo defeated? The two generals under Liu Biao's command, Wen Ping and Wang Wei, have important things that can't be dragged on at this time, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others can't compare with Wen Ruo. Except for them, Xiangyang, only the son of Liu Biao can control this part of the power. If I expect is good, this incident in Wancheng from front to the end. Liu Qi's hand.
Irrespecting everyone's surprise, Guo Jia said again, "This Liu Qi took back Wancheng at this time. His ambition must be not small. He hides behind the scenes to find an opportunity to start, and the Lord and Yuan Shao can't be distracted. How can this person let go of this opportunity?"
Hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others looked a little solemn. Xu Du is not far from Wancheng. If at the critical time of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Liu Qi suddenly attacked Xu Du from Wancheng. Who else can resist Liu Qi's attack?
"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable. If Liu Qi is not on guard, he will definitely suffer a big loss. I will order Zixiao to go to Fancheng to change the article and come back." Only then did Cao Cao pay attention to Jingzhou.
"Lord, no matter what Liu Qi is, he can't help it. At this time, the lord of Jingzhou is still Liu Biao. Liu Qi's great ability at this time will certainly arouse Liu Biao's suspicion. If the lord can provoke it, it can be that Jingzhou will fall into turmoil and will not do anything in a short time. Guo Jia reminded.
When it comes to the exchange of Xun Wen from Fancheng, it will take at least two or three days. Who knows what will happen in these two or three days? Since ancient times, there have been countless achievements, and even father and son are no exception. Will Liu Qi's behavior in such a high-profile manner in Jingzhou make Liu Biao feel good?
"The lord can send an envoy to Xiangyang to question Liu Biao, and at the same time send an envoy to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou. If possible, he will hit Jingzhou in one fell swoop, so that he will not be able to take action within a few years. If it doesn't work, Sun Ce and Liu Biao, who are in the east of Jingzhou, have a father's murder. How can they not care? And Wuxi and other places in the south of Jingzhou often cove Jingzhou. The lord sends messengers to contact him to disturb Jingzhou in Jingnan and other places.
"At the same time, the lord can garrison heavy troops in Fancheng, so that Jingzhou does not dare to relax and cannot be transferred from the soldiers and horses of Wancheng. The family in Jingzhou is also an object that can be used. The lord ordered people to contact secretly, which can also make Jingzhou internal instability. In this way, even if Liu Qi has the ability to solve the internal and external problems in Jingzhou, it is impossible to solve them. Even if they are solved, Jingzhou's strength will definitely be greatly reduced in a short period of time. And if Jingzhou can't resist it, then Sun Zhengran of Jiangdong will not let go of this opportunity, which can just solve the Lord's worries.
Guo Jiakan talked about a few words and decided on a way to deal with Jingzhou, which made Cheng Yu and Xun You secretly admire him.
"Ha ha, a word of filial piety can match 100,000 heroes. The internal and external troubles of Jingzhou are suddenly exposed. Let me see how Liu Biao resists. It happens that Zixiao is going to rush to Jingzhou, and then he can take the opportunity to capture Xiangyang." Cao Cao laughed.
"Lord, this matter is not urgent. It's not too late for them to send troops when they are defeated in both sides in Jingzhou. Yuan Shao in the north is very strong, and he can't make a difference at this time." Guo Jia persuaded. Once this plan is implemented, the situation in Jingzhou will be complicated, and rash intervention will only outweigh the gains.
"Yes, the lord should deal with Liu Bei first at this time. Although Liu Bei's strength is weak, this man is a latent dragon. Once he grows, it will be bad." Cheng Yu beside him was a little worried when he heard that Cao Cao was going to touch Jingzhou at this time.
"Well, you can rest assured that I have ordered someone to deal with Liu Bei in this matter. I just need to take advantage of his unpreparedness to kill Liu Bei in one fell swoop." Cao Cao hated Liu Bei to the bone. Liu Bei actually planted vegetables to deceive him in Xudu.
After discussion, Guo Jia and others left, and Cao Ren came in with the imperial doctor.
"Lord." Cao Ren saluted.
"Well, it's all right. Let the doctor go back." Cao Cao waved his hand to let the imperial doctor leave.
"Meng De, what's wrong with you?" Cao Ren asked worriedly that they still called each other's names directly when no one was around.
"Hehe, I'm fine. You go home to clean up and lead 3,000 soldiers to Fancheng. This time, Chen Qun will also go with you. At that time, you should listen to his opinions more. Cao Cao said, "You don't need to do anything when you go to Fancheng. You just need to guard Fancheng. As for the situation in Jingzhou, you don't have to interfere."
"Meng De, don't worry, as long as I'm still in Fancheng, I won't lose." Cao Ren said solemnly.
"Ha ha, Zixiao joked. It's nothing for Fancheng. Even if he is frustrated and withdraws from Fancheng for a while, there is no key to preserve his strength. Wait until I fight with Yuan Shao and then clean up Liu Biao." Cao Cao waved his hand and smiled.
....................................................................................
At this time, Liu Bei in Xuzhou, like Cao Cao, was really angry. He didn't expect that sending Jian Yong to Jingzhou would cause such a result.
Jian Yong, who was rushing back to Xuzhou overnight opposite Liu Bei, just now, Jian Yong had told what happened in Jingzhou. Even Liu Bei, who was good at forbearance, felt extremely angry when he heard it. He thought that they were all Han clan relatives and sent Jian Yong to attract him. Maybe he could pull Liu Biao to his own war. On the car, I didn't expect Liu Qi to be so abominable.
He has understood that no matter whether his Hanshi identity is true or not, Liu Qi is going to hit him. His Hanshi identity is indeed true, but even if he comes to Xudu and asks Tianzi to confirm it again, his prestige will be hit by it. Liu Qi obviously has no good intentions.
This made Liu Bei puzzled. He said that he had never met Liu Qi before. Why did Liu Qi hate him so much? Now he is in a dilemma. Whether it is Dao Xu or not, it is impossible for him to represent the Han Dynasty as before. What's more, he can't get close to Xu Du in his current situation.
"Lord, what should I do about this? Liu Qi is clearly aimed at the master, if the master doesn't have to pay attention to it." Jian Yong frowned and said that he also had his own points in this matter. If he could adapt to the situation, he might not make Liu Qi and others so arrogant and wantonly frame Liu Bei.
"Liu Qi has such a vicious heart at such a young age. If I get to Jingzhou, I will cut off his head first." Zhang Fei, who was beside him, finally couldn't help bursting out. He knew that Liu Bei's identity was real.
"Well, it's my fault why I want to communicate with Liu Biao. I thought he would definitely help in the face of the Han clan, but I didn't expect it to be counterproductive." Liu Bei sighed.
"Big brother doesn't really want to go to Xudu again. The thief will definitely not let go of the master." Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei.
"Xu Yi will not go again. The thief can cheat once, but he can't cheat twice. Once it falls into his hands, he will never let me go." Liu Bei shook his head. He remembered the last time Cao Cao tested him. If he hadn't pretended to be stupid and deceived Cao Cao, he might have been a corpse at this time.
"Lord, how should this matter be solved?" Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei and asked.
"Lord, you can't go, but you can go to Jizhou. Yuan Shao's ambition often takes himself as the lord of the world. If the lord sends someone to him, he will definitely accept it. At this time, he is also willing to relieve his worries." Sun Qian looked up and said that Yuan Shao is the most powerful among the princes today, so he often regards himself as the lord of the world. If Liu Bei sends his identity certificate to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely be happy to make the decision for Liu Bei.
"Yes, send it to Jizhou." Liu Bei's eyes lit up. Since he has formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will not let him be bullied by others anyway. More importantly, Yuan Shao will definitely agree to this in order to realize his influence.
"But at this time, one person needs to go to Yuan Shao's place to state the stake?" With that, Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and Sun Qian. At this time, only these two people around him could do this for him.
"Lord, I would like to go." Jian Yong got up and bowed. He felt that he had not done a good job in Jingzhou, and this time he would deal with it for Liu Bei.
"Lord, if you don't want to do this, just leave it to Xianhe." Sun Qian also got up.
Seeing that Liu Bei was like this, Liu Bei was also a little helpless. He wanted Sun Qian to go. Since Ju Shu supported Liu Qi in front of Jian Yong, how could he change? If he saw Jian Yong go forward, he would definitely stop him. Just as he was about to agree, Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu beside him. Mi Ren was able to solve a lot of things for him.
"Let's leave this matter to Zizhong. As soon as Xianhe returned from Jingzhou, he took a rest. A lot of things have happened in Xuzhou these days, and these things still need to be solved by Xianhe." Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu. To say that the people here helped him the most was Mi Zhu. He not only subsidized his family's assets, but also was good at management. If he hadn't been in his own army, these people would have drunk the northwest wind.
"No." Mi Zhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the matter of the envoy would fall on him, but he was not too surprised. Jian Yong's tired face when he came back from Jingzhou, even he felt a little unbearable.
"This trip to Jizhou, I also hope that Zizhong can borrow some soldiers and horses from Yuan Shao. These soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are not enough to resist Cao Cao." Liu Bei said helplessly.
