Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

People were coming and going, and the windy courtyard was obviously not a good place to talk. Yan Qing was so angry that he still invited Guo Jia, who obviously had a long story to say, to the inner hall, because it was quite hot in the early summer afternoon , and ordered someone to take some ice cubes from the cellar—although the county magistrate didn't do anything, he didn't treat himself badly in terms of enjoyment—and put them into the basin.

In the end, he retreated to the left and right, leaving only himself and Lu Bu. Finally, Guo Jianeng, who was running around under the scorching sun, was placed in the shade. He half-lyed comfortably, holding iced sour plum soup in his hand, and began to narrate slowly.

"Received the order of Chongguang, Jia first went to Zijing's home to ask for an audience, explained the purpose of coming, and after several conversations, he realized that he had admired the lord's demeanor for a long time, and he was born early to lead his subordinates to defect. He only sighed that there was no way out. Right in the middle of my arms."

Guo Jia said it easily and did not intend to take credit for it, but Yan Qing would not think that persuading Lu Su, who was ambitious but still on the sidelines, was a trivial matter.

Seeing the old god Lv Bu listening, as if he was listening to someone telling some strange story, Yan Qing couldn't help but glanced at him unobtrusively, Lv Bu suddenly came back to his senses, recalling Yan Qing's words, "Thank you Guo Jia first", with a loud voice Said: "So, thank Fengxiao for your trouble."

Guo Jia shook his head, and continued: "Even if Wu Jia is the lobbyist, Lu Zijing already has this intention, how can it be called Jia's credit? After hitting it off with him, Jia asked him to select three thousand horsemen who had been trained and good at riding. The young and strong people in the village who shot together, he readily agreed."

"At that time, riding a war horse and putting on a battle armor, it should be more than enough to hide from the eyes and ears of the spies. Finally, Xu Zhongkang, chosen by Wenhe, will arrive here secretly, and he will act as the lord's substitute. opportunity."

Guo Jia said it lightly, but a huge amount of information suddenly poured in.

The more Yan Qing listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He had no time to think about when Guo Jia and Jia Xu joined forces, and when the idiot Xu Chu joined his side. He only had time to ask the most important point: "Wait a minute, we Why are you going back to Xu?"

Didn't they agree to pretend to fight bandits in the surrounding area first, and when Cao Song died and Cao Cao went to Xu to burn, kill and loot to avenge his personal revenge, he would help Tao Qian and take the opportunity to occupy Xuzhou?

Guo Jia was astonished, and took it for granted: "After Cao Cao entered Xu to attack Tao Gongzu, he took the opportunity to send troops straight into Yanzhou, seize its base, and cut off its source!"

Yan Qing never dreamed that Guo Jia's appetite was astonishingly large, and he actually made up his mind to kill Cao Cao. He was terrified when he heard it, and objected without thinking: "This is too hasty!"

Guo Jia: "..."

Yan Qing and Guo Jia had always had an extraordinary understanding, and this was the first time that they were talking to each other. They couldn't help but stare at each other for a while, and finally realized that their thinking was not on the same line.

Guo Jia slammed the table and said in disbelief: "Could it be that what Chongguang said in the conference hall that day was not to let the news go out to numb the eyes and ears of the spies, but to spend a lot of trouble just for Xuzhou?"

Yan Qing is also full of grievances, does he look like someone who is too bored with his own people to play charades?

He frowned and said: "Qing thinks that we should go to Xuzhou first, and then talk about other things."

Guo Jia got up impatiently and paced back and forth, and said in disbelief, "Then it's not for Cao Cao in the end? He is in the prime of his life, and there are many wise men and warriors under his command. If you don't take advantage of his fledgling, just grab him and treat him well." If it is done, it will become a fierce tiger lying on the couch! As for Tao Gongzu, he is already old, and he is nothing to be afraid of at all. In a year or so at most, do we still have to ask about the ownership of Xuzhou? It must be in my pocket Otherwise, it’s just a mere Xuzhou, how can it be worthwhile to make a special trip to calculate?”

Yan Qing still shook his head: "Cao Cao is indeed a serious confidant, but our foundation is not stable, and our internal worries are still unsettled. If we rashly make Cao Cao a deadly enemy and eat so many states all of a sudden, it will only cause abdominal distension. At present, even The officials in Yangzhou of Georgia are only barely enough, and suddenly there are two or even three more states, how can it be described as embarrassing?"

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and keenly saw through the true thoughts hidden behind his high-sounding excuses. Even though he had a deep friendship with Yan Qing, he spoke mercilessly and sharply: "Since Chongguang has the intention of helping the master to seek great things, he will You should know the truth that time does not wait for others. Now that there is a good opportunity, why are you so timid suddenly? Seeing that you have made a big plan to kill Dong and seize the disease, you have never taken a steady and steady path. Why are you so conservative when you are only facing Cao Cao? , deeply afraid?"

"Besides, Chongguang is not joking. As soon as this plan comes out, can Cao Cao not know that we are the masterminds who are reaping the benefits of the fisherman? But we have to make use of the problem and invade Xuzhou. It's just a plan."

Yan Qing stopped talking.

How could he not know what Guo Jia said was reasonable?But he couldn't say that if he really took advantage of Cao Cao's revenge on Xuzhou to surprise Yanzhou, the empty base behind him, wouldn't it be the same as Lu Bu's practice in history?

In the end, Lu Bu didn't get any good. Not only did he offend Cao Cao, the most terrifying enemy, to death, but he also failed to keep the results of the battle. Resurrected and recaptured the lost ground.

Although he is confident that Lu Bu will not repeat the ridiculous mistakes in history, he is still extremely worried when encountering these major events that overlap too much with the trajectory of history, always feeling that the wild fire will never end, and the spring wind will blow again.

I have to say that Cao Cao was very lucky, like God's help. Although he was in desperate situations many times, there was always a large group of loyal courtiers who were willing to shed their blood for him. It can also miraculously appear as an undercover teammate, allowing him to escape smoothly at the time of life and death.

Such examples can be described as countless: that day he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was wanted and arrested. On the way, Chen Gong, the county magistrate, was persuaded by him to give up his official position to accompany him to escape; when he pursued Dong Zhuo, he was defeated by Xu Rong. Cao Hong gave his horse to him, and he was in the rear; in Wancheng, because he was greedy for the beauty of the Zou family, he was rebelled by Zhang Xiu, and his eldest son Cao Ang fought bloody battles with his guard Dianwei just to save him; in the scuffle in Puyang City, Cao Cao was arrested by Lu Bu's cavalry But because he failed to recognize him, he listened to nonsense and let him run away; even if the Chibi queen was defeated and walked to Huarong Road, it was precisely Guan Yu, who had an old kindness and respected righteousness, who was responsible for intercepting and killing him, and was given justice. , Let him escape again.

It's almost like the protagonists in those inspirational life novels who have opened up cheats, always turning dangers into blessings and turning dangers into disasters.

However, Lu Bu in history has only Chen Gong, but now there are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xu Shu in literature, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Sun Ce and others in Wu.

"It's indeed a great opportunity." But Guo Jiayi said that even a stone has to be tempted, and Yan Qing also had the idea of ​​betting all the chips he had and going straight to the big one, and turned around and asked. Lu Bu said nothing, "What do you think, my lord?"

Asking questions, Yan Qing didn't even need to listen, knowing that Lu Bu, who has always been belligerent, would definitely agree.

Lu Bu touched his chin seriously, pondered for a moment, and only asked in a low voice: "Is there any chance of winning?"

Guo Jia said confidently: "If there were no three of us going forward, we would rely on Wen Yuanwen and Yu to launch a surprise attack, and all the front would be restrained by Gongming Bofu. The victory and defeat would only be divided between [-] and [-], otherwise there would be an [-]% chance!"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, and said boldly: "Don't say that it is [-]% higher, even if it is only [-]%, Bu is willing to fight!"

Just do it.

Thinking of messing with Cao Cao, Yan Qing was both afraid and excited, but he also knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and began to think about the problems that would arise in the actual implementation: "If it is only entrusted by Tao Gongzu to protect the country from Cao Cao's invasion That’s all for the people of Xuzhou, but at the same time sending troops to attack their rear, the intention is obvious, and if they fall into the eyes of others, they will inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of the fire, will it be too inappropriate?”

Guo Jia said disapprovingly, "What kind of problem is this? Cao Cao was the Inspector of Yanzhou represented by Yuan Benchu ​​because of his meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, while Tao Qian was promoted by the imperial court and had all the talismans and seals. He was angry with personal grievances." , Raising troops to invade the country, disregarding the sufferings of the people, the lord and Chongguang are both ministers appointed by His Majesty, and they should uphold justice for their colleagues, how can we give someone a handle to suppress this rebellion?"

"What's more, there is Zhang Xiu making troubles in Chang'an, and His Majesty has always been ungrateful and self-interested. Listening to his slander, alienating your heart from the lord is just the difference between sooner or later. Why don't you make the most of everything and act in the name of Your Majesty as soon as possible, so as to give us convenience. ?”

"The south is empty, only the mountains are disturbing, and at most it can hurt some fur. As for Shi Xie, he is more used to self-defense. Liu Biao of Jingzhou in the west is also a guest who just talks but doesn't do it. Without an aggressive mind, Tao Qian's vitality will be seriously injured, and he will be doomed to be mediocre in the few days left. When we take down Qingzhou and Yanzhou, we will have no worries for the time being and go north with peace of mind."

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are both wounded now, and there is a deadly feud between them. There is no hope of fighting the enemy together. However, the Lord has strong soldiers and horses, abundant food, and the strength of the four states. Given time, Hebei can be pacified in one fell swoop."

"At that time, when the weather is ready, we can enter the Central Plains to compete in the Central Plains, retreat to cultivate and thrive, and dominate one side. Why should we care about the plots and tricks that the officials of the court are thinking about? Just relying on Zhang Xiu to sow dissension there is also at a loss. He even With a good tongue, the little emperor is cowardly and self-protective, and he will not dare to easily offend us who are powerful, but will increase his rank to appease him."

Guo Jia finished the analysis with a smile, cast a coquettish wink at Yan Qing who was stunned, and finally said: "If Zhang Xiu is really an eyesore, you might as well welcome your majesty into Xu County, and take the emperor to command the princes. Naturally, I am the knife and embroider the fish. Don’t expect the princes to do anything. The tyranny of Dong Zhuo was widely known back then, and the alliance was fierce, but it was only anticlimactic. It was nothing. Zhang Xiu might be able to persuade Xiliang Mahan to come to rescue him. But as long as it drags on for a while, the shortage of food and grass alone is enough to make them self-defeating."

Guo Jia usually likes to put on some high-level demeanor, pays attention to conciseness and conciseness, to the point, today it is absolutely unexpected that Yan Qing does not agree with his carefully planned plan, and he can't help but feel a little anxious, so he came up with such a long speech.

However, by mistake, Lu Bu, who was so calm on the face, deeply saw that in addition to his own clever military officer offering wine, this seemingly weak literati also had the power to plan and kill people without blood.
