Chapter 59: Mutual calculations

Yuan Shu and Guo Jia formed a deadly enemy in Luoyang, and came to the bottom of it, not for public or private matters. Their hatred was incredible to outsiders.

There is no doubt that Yuan Shu and Guo Jia are indeed enemies, so Yuan Shu sent an envoy to come. As Yuan Shu's companion, Yuan Yin paid attention to it, and secondly, Yuan Yin came as a representative to turn enemies into friends with Guo Jia.

When talking about business affairs, we must naturally be in formal occasions, but before business affairs, we must first resolve personal grievances, so Yuan Yin invited Guo Jia into the carriage.

Yuan Yin and Yang Hong already had a preconceived impression of Guo Jia's situation. On the surface, they looked sympathetic, but they gloat in their hearts. Yuan Shu wanted Guo Jia to be cannon fodder so that he could easily attack Jingzhou. At that time, he would offside and command Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou. Being adjacent to Guo Jia, Yizhou would inevitably be in a tit-for-tat position. Guo Jia surrendered and Yuan Shu had half of the country. Guo Jia fought, and Yizhou might not be able to block the power of Yuan Shu's three states.

"General, our lord is sent down, and there is something that needs to be in front of Chen Qing. On that day, the misunderstanding between our lord and the lord in Luoyang was Yuan Shao, which was sowed by it. Our lord was concerned about the brotherhood and the lord, and a thought made the lord in danger. This matter has always been a pain in my lord's heart. The lord is a hero in the age of time. My lord is not allowed to come to apologize to the lord in person. He is specially ordered to apologize to the lord."

Yuan Yin paid a solemn greeting, with a hint of guilt in his respect. Yang Hong also took the opportunity to bow down, adding a bit of sincerity to Yuan Yin's apologies.

Guo Jia had already expected that if Yuan Shu sent an envoy to attack Liu Biao together, he would at least make up for his past grudges, but he did not expect that Yuan Yin, a child of the Yuan family, would have such a big gift.

After all, we can't underestimate Yuan Shu, even if the characters such as Yuan Shu, Liu Yan, Tao Qian are still the same level of a hero, if they really disdain for them, they will definitely suffer a great loss.

Now that Yuan Shu is in great power, he can still send Yuan Yin to apologize to Guo Jia. Although the purpose is to deceive Guo Jia, it is not a decision that ordinary people can make easily.

He smiled and helped the two of them up. Guo Jia said, "I was not blamed for the past. I was in Luoyang and was in a state of death. I was also blamed for my own fault. I was in a state of death. I could not blame others. When the world was in chaos, Dong Zhuo secretly occupied Longting. Yuan Tai was concerned about the people. The princes of all walks of life were all determined to support the Han Dynasty, but they all led their troops back. Only Sun Wentai, under the command of Yuan, led his generals to fight with Dong Zhuo for a long time. His heart was clear about the sun and the moon. Jia now has a few soldiers and horses, but if Yuan Taishou uses the place he can use, Chiayi will be unshirkable."

The truth is true, true, false, Guo Jia's words were sneered in the hearts of the three of them. If Guo Jia really cares about the Han Dynasty, he would not let Dong Zhuo go in Wushan. If Yuan Shu really cares about supporting the Han Dynasty, he would not have rush to recall Sun Jian to take over Yuzhou.

Anyway, everyone is tacit in the specific situation. After the scene is said, the old grudges should be resolved. The three of them can’t talk about trivial matters of family matters together, and there is no relationship between the past to reminisce, but both sides have common enemies.

Guo Jia did not accept Dong Zhuo's advice, and Yuan Shu refused to discuss peace with Dong Zhuo. In order to avoid the dull atmosphere and the scene was deserted, the three of them began to take turns to scold Dong Zhuo in passionately...

The vast team headed towards Chengdu, Yuan Yin's convoy was in front, and Xu Shu, Qin Mi, Dian Wei and others led three thousand teams to follow behind.

Dian Wei has the best personal relationship with Xu Chu on weekdays, and often drinks and talks in his spare time. Xu Chu is a person who can't hide his thoughts and tells everything to Dian Wei. Dian Wei was originally open-minded, but after hearing Xu Chu say too much, he likes to reveal what he has questions in his heart. Like Xu Chu, it is difficult for him to ask Guo Jia, but Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu often answer their questions.

"Military advisor, Dong Zhuo sent an envoy to come, and the lord ordered people to beat him up in a mess. Yuan Shu sent an envoy to come, why did the lord welcome him with such a great gift?"

When Dian Wei Cema came to Xu Shu, he couldn't stop his words, and the counselors around him also heard his questions.

Anyway, they were far away from the carriages in front of them, so they were not afraid of being heard by Yuan Shu's soldiers in front of them. Xu Shu smiled and said, "If you act as a small loyal person, you will be a thief of Dazhong."

Dian Wei expressed his displeasure and said, "Military advisor, can you explain it clearly?"

Xu Shu smiled and explained: "Dong Zhuo is a traitor, Yuan Shu is one of the princes of Xingyi Army. The lord Ruozhong Dong Zhuo, although he surrendered to the Han Dynasty on the surface, he lost the righteousness of the world. At this moment, the righteousness is on the side of the princes such as Yuan Shu. Therefore, although Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu are both enemies of the lord, they should be treated differently."

"Is that going to have to meet you for two hundred miles? Yuan Shu is worthy? Even if Yuan Shu takes over Jingzhou, is the lord still afraid that he can't beat Yuan Shu?" Dian Wei was very angry and gritted his teeth when he thought of Yuan Shu.

Xu Shu smiled and looked at Qin Mi beside him. When Qin Mi saw him looking at him, he looked playful and said helplessly: "You are rude and useless, and you will be rude to the princes. You are the one who will die. The lord is to welcome him for two hundred miles to see the princes in the world, not to please Yuan Shu. You are not able to overcome your lords internally and rely on the princes externally to destroy the country. You can win if you use the power of Yizhou to attack Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, but the lord cannot stop the princes in the world from attacking together. Therefore, you must show weakness, remove the princes' defense, and give the lord enough time to rest and strengthen yourself."

After Qin Mi said this, Dian Wei suddenly realized it, but asked again: "The lord had said that Yuan Shu had sent an envoy to make his lord send troops to attack Liu Biao. Now that the lord welcomes Yuan Shu's envoy with generous gifts, is he planning to agree to Yuan Shu?"

This time, Dian Wei's eyes passed by Xu Shu and looked at Qin Mi. Dian Wei had a little fond of this new counselor who Guo Jia valued. As for Qin Mi's friend Peng Yi, Dian Wei was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Mi smiled casually and said, "General Dian, Brother Yuan Zhi, just said that Yuan Shu and other princes are the righteousness, but if Yuan Shu attacked Liu Biao, who is Liu Biao? The Han clan relatives and eight horses were the eight masters of the world. When the lord attacked Jingzhou last year, Liu Biao did not openly recommend Jingzhou. Now, everyone in the world already knows that Liu Biao is the legitimate governor of Jingzhou. Yuan Shu attacked Liu Biao, which is contrary to Da Yi. He is the prefect of Nanyang, and is nominally under the rule of the governor of Jingzhou. Not only does he want to commit rebellion, he also pointed the finger at the relatives of the Han clan. How could the lord be with Yuan Shu?"

Dian Wei, who had been in conflict, cleared his doubts. He wanted to go out to fight, but he didn't want to have anything to do with Yuan Shu. When he heard Qin Mi's explanation, he was relieved and felt a little depressed again. It was estimated that 90% of the battle would be impossible.

It was not until evening that Guo Jia welcomed Yuan Yin and Yang Hong's team to return to Chengdu. After entering Chengdu City, the generals and advisers dismounted and walked. After Xiao Yi led his personal guards to replace him, Dian Wei led his troops back to the barracks.

Yuan Yin, who lifted the curtains from time to time, shook his head slightly. The street market was depressed and there were few passers-by, and there were no traces of prosperity at all.

This actually has a lot to do with the rebellion last year. Many wealthy families in Chengdu were purged after the rebellion. Today, Yizhou is indeed not prosperous, and everything is in the process of reconstruction.

Without letting Yuan Yin and Yang Hong stay in the inn, Guo Jia took them straight to the General's Mansion. There were many guest rooms in the villa, which were available for them to stay.

Looking at the grand and magnificent General's Mansion on the stairs, Yuan Yin and Yang Hong were both shocked. The contrast was too great. Yizhou was extremely poor and Guo Jia was dressed in shabby, but unexpectedly there was such a luxurious mansion.

"Previously, this was Liu Yan's prefecture and the governor's mansion." After Guo Jia said this, the two of them understood it.

It seems that Guo Jia can live in such a good house, but it is thanks to Liu Yan.

It was getting late, and we had to wait for tomorrow to discuss the matter, so Guo Jia held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the messengers from afar.

When the servant led the way to the guest room in the mansion, Yuan Yin and Yang Hong remained silent, feeling mixed in their hearts.

Guo Jia's hospitality was simple and simple. The two of them followed Yuan Shu in Nanyang to eat delicious food and drink spicy food. They didn't expect Guo Jia to serve them with fine wine and delicious food, but they didn't expect that the food they ate at a dinner was as good as chewing wax, but they had to eat it. Not only Guo Jia's civil and military commands, but even Guo Jia was ate with relish. He was used to this bitter life.

The decorations and utensils in the General's Mansion are also extremely simple. In the eyes of Yuan Yin and Yang Hong, it was really a waste of a luxurious and elegant house.

The two of them kept thinking about their worries and let the personal guards in Guo Jia's mansion lead them to the guest room. After they stopped in front of the door, the personal guards were about to leave. Yuan Yin held the personal guard and frowned and asked, "Why don't the lights in the mansion be lighted?"

Yang Hong hadn't noticed it yet. After hearing Yuan Yin's question, he looked around and found that there was really no light in this huge general's mansion. He could only use the light of the moonlight to see things. If an assassin came, what a good natural environment would be.

The personal guard handed Yuan Yin the lamp that led the way as if he was suddenly enlightened, saying, "This is the order of the general, everything is frugal."

Candles are considered luxury goods, so Yuan Yin and Yang Hong didn't ask about it. I heard that Guo Jia had issued a ban on alcohol in Yizhou, and merchants could not make wine, in order to save food.

It's really heartbreaking to be so poor.

They didn't know that one day, Yuan Shu would be even poorer than Guo Jia now.

Yuan Yin and Yang Hong opened the door. The decorations in the room were simple. Although the bedding on the bed looked spotless, it was spotless and clean. Both of them didn't mind these trivial matters.

Yuan Yin, who was half a meter apart from the two sleeping people, was covered with a quilt and couldn't sleep, suddenly asked: "Guo Jia's miserable scenes are miserable. Will he be willing to send troops to attack Liu Biao?"

Yang Hong also found it difficult to fall asleep and said, "He lacked food in Yizhou, so the lord can benefit from food and grass, and lure him to send troops."

Yuan Yin said unhappyly: "But if Guo Jia really conquered Jingzhou, wouldn't he raise a tiger to be a disaster?"

Yang Hong did not agree with this and sneered at Guo Jia's remarks that he could defeat Liu Biao.

"When Guo Jia was the strongest, before sending troops to Jingzhou last year, he not only lost his troops in Jingzhou, but also killed his generals, and rebelled with generals and gentry. When he was the strongest, he failed to conquer Jingzhou, and now it is even more impossible to conquer Jingzhou."...
