Chapter 444 [Hidden sword in a smile]
(Thank you for the Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ug, Zheng Qijin, I love little stars, good baby 555)
In the next half month, Guo Jia visited Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Li Shu, Sun Jing, Wu Jing, Yu Fan and other leaders.:.../The identities of these people are not low. Needless to say, Zhang Zhao is the first important minister in Jiangdong. Qin Song is the chief clerk of Sun Ce's era, Chen Duan is the supervisor, and Yu Fan is the county magistrate, and they are all important counselors of Sun Ce. Li Shu was once the prefect of Lujiang, Sun Jing and Wu Jing were all elders of Sun Quan, and no one was light in weight. Convincing these people, Sun Quan had to surrender in the end.
Of course, the generals cannot ignore it. It is also a victory to transform hostile forces into neutral forces.
Guo Jia and Liu Wan were running around for a while, but they finally didn't waste time. Cheng Pu's attitude relaxed, Huang Gai's thoughts were shaken, and Lu Meng was also moved.
Guo Jia analyzed that there was a reason why these three people were shaken. Cheng Pu was from Youzhou Youzhou, and came from the same source as the Dragon Wolf Army. Fighting harmony is also the norm of the Three Kingdoms. Huang Gai was old enough and had a hot temper, and often had conflicts with the rising star Zhou Yu. This kind of thing will exist in any force, which is not surprising. Lu Meng, a man with a strong utilitarian mind, active thinking, and restlessness. He tempted him with profit, and it is difficult to keep him from being moved.
The reason why Guo Jia achieved such good diplomatic results was related to Sun Quan's own uncertainty and the ambiguous attitude of Zhou Yu, the main war faction. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, one who was unwilling to be overlord from one side, became a minor official in the capital; the other who was reluctant to be in charge of the commander of the army, returned to the commoner. Once power is in hand, no one will be willing to let go, let alone two young people with high spirits.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu have reached a consensus that during this period of time when Ma Han was mourning for the emperor, try to use the drag-on technique. It will be delayed until July and August. At that time, the summer flood in the Yangtze River and the hot Jiangnan weather will definitely give the Dragon Wolf Army a heavy blow. Since manpower cannot defeat Ma Han and his Dragon Wolf Army, let God take action.
Since it is a drag, you naturally have to put on a stance that is easy to discuss. The strict conditions for the Martin cannot be rejected, but you do not agree immediately. Instead, you are on the excuse that you should unify the entire army and persuade the subordinates and the people of the family. Of course, this will take time. How long will it take? As soon as possible. Try to be patient...
How could Guo Jia not see Sun? Zhou Er and others had any ideas, but he was not in a hurry. You drag yours, I will do mine, let's see if the matter was dragged out in the end or if I did it.
After half a month, Guo Jia basically visited all the top figures in the Jiangdong forces. Next, he had to visit two birds of prey whose wings were cut off.
Guo Jia and Liu Wan were together and first visited Liu Bei. The conversation atmosphere was good, at least on the surface.
After leaving Liu's house, he went to visit Xun Yu again. When he arrived at Xun's mansion, the servant told him that the master had already followed the lord to the funeral hall in the northern suburbs. So, it was a relief, and even Cao Cao had a visit.
Shaxian is in the northern suburbs, with mountains and water on the back. From the Fengshui point of view, it is a good place for a tomb. Xiahou Yuan, the pillar of Cao's army, was buried here. As for Han Hao, Cao Cao had agreed to hand it over to the Dragon Wolf Army to return to the Han family in Hanoi for burial. However, he firmly disagrees with the Dragon Wolf Army to send Xiahou Yuanlings to Qiao County. Cao Cao would rather temporarily bury Xiahou Yuan here and then move to the tomb himself in the future. He would rather be in the hands of Long Wolf.
On the hillside of a famous Chaotian Peak in the northern suburbs, there is a spiritual shed. Ten steps away is the Xiahou Yuan cemetery. This is where Cao Cao guards the spirit.
For Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan was not only his clan brother, clan general, but also his last general. Xiahou Yuan was destroyed and Han Hao died. The next time he commanded the Cao army, the only father and son were left to command the Cao army. There was originally a Liu Yan, and Cao Cao was also quite valued. During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was even Dongjun, one of the two major base areas in Yanzhou, and was left to him to guard. However, after the defeat in Xiling, this man took advantage of the chaos and led a entourage army to disappear.
Ten years of hard work were ruined, and after going around, I went back to the beginning, but my brothers who fought side by side with him had already been completely transferred... Cao Cao in front of the spirit shed sighs and tears.
Xun Yu forced his sick body and was carried by his servant to the mountain. After paying tribute, he endured the grief and advised the lord to be sad. He spoke a little anxiously and was sore and coughing. As a result, Cao Cao and Cao Pi wanted to comfort him. In the midst of the bleakness, a entourage came to report: "Engel Liu and Envoy Guo are here to visit."
The three of them looked at each other, and Cao Cao said lightly: "It's time to come, please."
Guo Jia and Liu Wan chose to visit the mountain instead of waiting in the mansion, mainly to worship Xiahou Yuan and ease the hostility. And to discuss matters in the spirit shed, the atmosphere would not be too stiff. However, when they saw Cao Cao with a relaxed smile on his face and Xun Yu with a calm expression, they couldn't help but secretly praise him. As expected, they deserved to be a hero for the time and were very elegant.
Guo Jia was even more secretly alert. No wonder the lord chased him personally and didn't let him go. He was indeed a hero.
The two of them first went to Xiahou Yuan’s tomb to pay tribute, then met Cao Cao and his son and Xun Yu, and sat down with the guests.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu are both from Yingchuan. They know each other and have not seen each other for many years and have had a great time talking. Guo Jia also presented gifts from Xun You, mainly precious medicinal materials that strengthened the foundation and cultivated the Yuan Dynasty. Cao and Xun thanked each other. They talked for a long time and saw the atmosphere was harmonious, so they introduced the topic.
Guo Jia said to Cao Cao without any concealment: "Cao Gong is willing to join Luo?"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "This is what Cao wishes."
Xun Yu said indifferently: "If the traitors don't go, how can they enter Luo?"
Guo Jia frowned: "Wen is cautious in words."
As soon as he talked about this, Xun Yu became angry: "Was it a matter of the ministers who interfered in the choice of the crown prince? Ma Jinglong, Jia Wenhe, a traitor!"
Liu Wan was embarrassed and persuaded her repeatedly.
With Xun's connections, it is not surprising that it is known about Luoyang's affairs. This storm in Luoyang has hit many veteran scholars hard, and it is no wonder that Xun Yu is so angry.
Guo Jia calmly said: "You are thousands of miles away from Luoyang, don't listen to the wind and rain. How can you see it in person when you come to Luoyang?"
Xun Yu was about to rebuke him, but Cao Cao hurriedly interrupted: "We will advance and retreat with the enemy. If he goes to Luo, we will walk with us."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "It's so good."
When he was about to part, Cao Cao gave gifts to the two envoys. The one who gave Liu Wan was a pair of jade walls, which meant that the gentleman was as clean as jade. The one who gave Guo Jia was a copper pot, which meant that it could be eaten by five tripods (that is, the meaning of being a marquis). They were all very meaningful gifts.
Guo and Liu thanked each other and went down the mountain.
Looking at the backs of the group walking away, Cao Cao's face slowly calmed down.
After returning to the spirit shed, Cao Pi had just sat down when he heard Xun Yu say, "Will you kill me?"
Cao Pi was startled and blurted out: "Who to kill?"
Cao Cao stroking his beard without saying a word, his eyes gradually became firm: "Kill!"
Cao Pi also reacted at this time and was shocked: "Kill Guo Fengxiao! Why?"
Yes, why? Didn’t you still chat and laugh? Why did you stab the knife when you turn around? And the identity of the person you want to stab is quite impressive.
Cao Cao looked at his eldest son and said lightly: "There are two people coming. If you only say one, how can you not know?"
Cao Pi nodded in a naughty manner. Indeed, he blurted out that he killed Guo Fengxiao, but he did not say that he killed Liu Wan. Obviously, he had guessed the truth unconsciously. But Cao Pi was still puzzled: "At this extraordinary time, if Guo Fengxiao suddenly died of Sha Xian, then Ma Han would probably be to surrender the wrath of Thunder... Oh! I understand."
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and Xun Yu also smiled happily, and it turns out that a child can teach.
Cao Pi really understood this time. Guo Jia went on a mission to Sha Xian and joined forces with each other. Zhang Zhaozhu, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had an ambiguous attitude, and the entire Jiangdong army was filled with an atmosphere of compromise. If the Jiangdong army surrendered, the Cao family would be ruined. The three alliances collapsed. How could the Cao Liu army be the opponent of the Dragon Wolf Army? At that time, they would have nowhere to escape. Falling into the hands of the iron-blooded butcher of Ma Han, the consequences... It would be chilling to think about it.
For the current plan, we must break this unfavorable situation. If the envoy of the Dragon Wolf Army was assassinated in Sha Xian... Haha, Sun Quan couldn't even explain it clearly, and the Mars would be furious with the wrath of thunder and raise his troops to attack. In this way, the alliance of the three families was consolidated again.
Cao Pi stood up with his sword and was eager to try: "The child is willing to share the worries of Ah Weng!"
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and asked, "How?"
Xun Yu raised his sleeves and covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying lightly: "Why do you need the eldest son to take risks? There is one person in Shaxian City that is the most suitable."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows first, then slowly lowered them, and laughed: "Wen Ruozhen is my good minister, and this person is really the best candidate."
The two looked at each other and laughed. Only Cao Pi looked at this and that, but he really couldn't understand what the mute fans they were fighting against.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Guo Jia asked Chen Dao to pack his bags and act like a sport that was about to return. Chen Dao was not sure, but hesitated to execute it without hesitation.
While cleaning up, Liu Wan went to the mansion to speak, and was surprised to see this: "What does it mean to be filial piety?"
Guo Jia was leaning against the knee of a beautiful maid and drinking freely. When he saw Liu Wan asking questions, he raised his delicate eyebrows: "Of course he is going back to Zhu County to report."
Liu Wan was very surprised: "This, is this too sudden? Oh, is it the general secretly summoned..."
Guo Jia smiled and shook his head: "No, if you don't leave, Mr. Cao will kill me."
Liu Wan was shocked: "Where do you start with this?"
Guo Jia smiled and pointed to the copper pot in the corner of the house: "What do you think of this?"
"This is a copper pot of gift from Cao Gong to Fengxiao."
Guo Jia smiled coldly: "The wok is a disaster. You can eat five cauldrons or cook five cauldrons. This is how Cao Gong wants to cook me in front of Xiahou Miaocai's tomb!"
Liu Wan was stunned when she heard this. This thing could be explained like this. But let alone it, it really makes sense. People at that time pay attention to the response of heaven and man, and prophecies and bad luck. Liu Wan also believed this very much. Hearing Guo Jia said this, he became scared.
Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cao's purpose is for me, and he will never hurt Liu Jun. You can do everything as usual."
"No, I come with Fengxiao and I need to return together." Liu Wan said to leave, "I will go and say goodbye to Mr. Sun."
On this side, Chen Dao listened to the conversation in the house and stared at the copper pot at the corner of the house for a long time before asking, "Do you want to bring this thing back to Zhu County?"
