Chapter 62 Attacking the Righteous with Evil
Chapter 62: Attacking the Righteousness with Evil
Kuai Yue, who rushed over to get Guo Jia back, ran into Zhou Tai's iron plate and prepared his full statement in vain. He couldn't see Guo Jia, and he couldn't even understand the other party's true intentions.
Zhou Tai was not in a hurry, smiled, picked up the military book and started reading it, and picked up a tea to drink from time to time.
With guests present, Zhou Tai didn't mind that the other party thought he was negligent and rude, and the other was deteriorating. Last year, the Jingzhou army outside the county, from the commander to the civil servants and generals, did not look at people directly. Now, it's their turn to taste the taste of raising others.
Kuai Yue, who was depressed in his heart, was not good at going out. He wanted to convince Guo Jia, but now he didn't even know where Guo Jia was. However, his anxious mentality gradually turned into loss but calmed down. His worried expression suddenly appeared suspicious.
Having not noticed it before, Kuai Yue remembered the scene of him coming from outside to observe the movements of the troops.
The camps surrounded by fences are vast and there are many tents, but there are not many soldiers in the military camp. After a rough calculation, it is at most three thousand to five thousand.
The troops led by Zhou Tai seemed to be bluffing and suspicious of soldiers.
However, before the other six groups of soldiers and horses were explored, Kuai Yue dared not make arbitrarily to make a judgment. What if one or two groups of troops had tens of thousands of troops? Combining the virtual and the real and blinding the enemy can also be unexpected.
Unable to see Guo Jia, Kuai Yue will return without success, so he plans to take the lead and make his final efforts.
Ha ha ha ha
Kuai Yue, who had a solemn look when he entered the tent, suddenly burst into laughter and looked relaxed.
Zhou Tai was surprised by his laughter and muttered in his heart: Could it be that he saw through it?
"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Tai still raised his gentle face, not messing around.
Kuai Yue stopped laughing, glanced at Zhou Tai and didn't look at him, and looked aside and said: "It seems that your lord is still in Chengdu."
This is gambling, and Kuai Yue has no choice. Guo Jiaruo is really unwilling to see him among these seven armies, which means that Guo Jia is determined to attack Jingzhou. Even if he sees Guo Jia, it is unlikely that he will be able to withdraw his troops. Since Zhou Tai's army is suspicious, Kuai Yue can only hold a weak hope to determine that the other six armies are suspicious. Guo Jia does not want to attack Jingzhou at all.
The policies that Guo Jia implemented in Yizhou, such as imperial examinations, farming, road construction, school building, recruiting talented people and other talents, cannot be fully implemented and improved overnight. Guo Jia defeated Jingzhou after attacking Yizhou last year. He was exhausted and the people were determined. What he had to do now is to recuperate and not even take the initiative to start a war within a few years. Kuai Yue felt that even he could see such a situation, as the master of the human race, Guo Jia was not clear?
When they came to Jingzhou, even if Yuan Shu and Liu Biao started the war first, could Guo Jia really reap profits? People are not satisfied with their hearts. If they don’t take Jingzhou down, the backyard will be fire again.
With this inference, Kuai Yue believed that he had accurately grasped Guo Jia's attitude towards Jingzhou.
In fact, Kuai Yue expected that Guo Jia did not intend to expand outward within a few years.
But the question is, does Kuai Yue really dare to take risks? If he had a little bit of information, Liu Biao might have lost his family.
"Huh? Since you have guessed it, please go to Chengdu to meet my lord."
After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he turned his attention to the military books again.
Although such a sloppy and unindifferent reply made Kuai Yue’s hope in his heart, at least Zhou Tai affirmed that Guo Jia was in Chengdu, but whether Guo Jia was fighting or reconciling against Jingzhou was still unpredictable.
Zhou Tai couldn't help but look at him calmly. He used to think that he was a powerful general, but he didn't expect that he was not stupid.
"I dare to ask General Zhou, who is the commander of these seven armies?" Kuai Yue didn't have time to go to Chengdu to lobby Guo Jia, but he and the commander-in-chief of the army were vain and delayed for a few days, and at least he could get some preparation time for Jingzhou.
Zhou Tai sighed lightly, flipped through the bamboo slips, continued to read, and said, "There is the commander below, Mr. Yidu, let's be honest. My seven-way army is just bluffing and scaring Liu Envoy. You don't have to take it seriously. Go back to Xiangyang to help Liu Envoy deal with Yuan Shu."
As soon as these words were spoken, Kuai Yue's heart hangs up again, and his expression is hesitant.
Did you guess wrong? Guo Jia really wants to attack Jingzhou?
Zhou Tai's confession did not make Kuai Yue take his guard down, but became alert, because he did not believe that the other party had a great fanfare to set up a seven-way army. If Zhou Tai was really the head coach, would he tell him the truth so easily?
Out of the corner of his eyes, Kuai Yue's expression changed without falling into his eyes. Zhou Tai smiled in his heart: The method of the lord is really effective. If you want to tell the truth to your friends, you cannot tell all lies to the enemy. You must have real things in the falsehood and falsehood in the truth. Where is true and where is false, let the other party guess it yourself.
Since Zhou Tai said that he was the head coach, Kuai Yue could only suppress his surprise and follow the topic.
"General Zhou, as the commander-in-chief of the army, don't you think it's wrong for your lord to order you to attack Jingzhou?"
Zhou Tai looked over and looked at Kuai Yue and asked, "Is it that Liu Envoy is a relative of the Han Dynasty and his benevolence and righteousness? Will my ruler attack Liu Envoy be despised by the world?"
Another qi and blood surged, as if there was an urge to vomit blood. Zhou Tai said what Kuai Yue wanted to say first. He forced a smile and said, "Since General Zhou is very wise, why don't he lead the army back?"
Zhou Tai looked embarrassed and said, "But when the prefect Yuan sent someone to discuss with our lord, he said that Liu Envoy was the arm of the traitor Dong Zhuo. The attack on Liu Envoy was to cut off the thief's wings for the Han Dynasty."
"Yuan Shu slandered"
The angry Kuai Yue blurted out, and his angry look scared Zhou Tai, the general.
Kuai Yue, who noticed that he was out of control, bowed to Zhou Tai and calmed down his anger.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu actually distorted the facts, it was simply nonsense.
Yuan Shu attacked Liu Biao, which was contrary to people's hearts and morality. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye could see. Guo Jia couldn't see it? It would definitely be possible, but Guo Jia ignored people's hearts and morality? Kuai Yue was not sure. After all, what Guo Jia did in Yizhou was already the same as the gentry and wealthy families in the world.
"General Zhou, you are a hero of the world, and you can see the right and wrong clearly than anyone else. If your lord helps Yuan Shu, he will be equally aided by the evildoers. Even if he goes to Jingzhou, he will not be supported by the people of Jingzhou. I beg the general to stop the war and stop the army."
Kuai Yue's heartfelt words made Zhou Tai move. He put the military books on the table, stood up and walked with his hands behind his back, with a hesitant expression.
When Kuai Yue wanted to persuade him a few more words, Zhou Tai raised his hand to signal Kuai Yue to shut up and said, "The different words are also my concern. In fact, I do not agree with sending troops to attack Jingzhou, but my Lord believes that attacking Jingzhou is a good opportunity at this moment and cannot be lost. But this is a small profit in front of me, but I have no choice but to lose all the hearts of the world."
There was no time to figure out whether Zhou Tai was showing his true feelings or pretending to be hypocritical at this moment. Kuai Yue saw that Zhou Tai was trying to retreat, so he immediately added another fire.
"If you know but don't speak, you are unfaithful, and those who are unfaithful as ministers will die. General Zhou, if you are loyal to your lord and sincere, then you will advise your lord at this time. Since my lord took over the governor of Jingzhou, he has been generous and righteous, and the people in his rule have been loyal to him. Jingzhou is in a peaceful state. Yuan Shu is just a prefect of a county in Jingzhou, but he has launched troops to attack the governor of the state. This is to invade the rebellion of the superiors, attack the rule by chaos, and attack the righteous with evil, and to destroy the destruction of oneself. If your lord helps Yuan Shu at this time, wouldn't he be accomplice for the tiger? It is not only a laughing, but also despised by the world. I beg the general to return to Chengdu to meet your lord, and to explain the pros and cons, and not to use wars."
After a passionate persuasion, Zhou Tai stared at Kuai Yue in a daze, then closed his eyes and showed a look of struggle.
Kuai Yue, who had not put down his hand, did not care whether Zhou Tai could persuade Guo Jia. As long as Zhou Tai did not lead the army to attack Jingzhou for the time being, he would give Jingzhou a time to deal with Yuan Shu first. Even if Zhou Tai did not persuade Guo Jia when he returned, Jingzhou would not be able to encounter a situation of being attacked from both sides at the same time.
But Zhou Tai thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. Kuai Yue's expression changed drastically and he asked hurriedly: "Don't the general understand? At this time, attacking Jingzhou will be harmful to your master but not beneficial."
Zhou Tai, who knelt down again, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression calmed down, and said, "It's not that I don't know the depth, the importance and interests of the lower part, but that the supply of grain and grass in Yizhou is tight. My army consumes a lot every day. If I retreat, the loss of this round and back is my fault. I am not ineffective, but guilty. At this time, the situation is already on the string and has to be fired. You should also know that my master is very careful and will not waste food and grass when he sees the army return without success."
He thought Zhou Tai was going to attack Jingzhou alone. After hearing this, Kuai Yue felt relieved and immediately expressed his opinion: "This matter is not difficult. As long as General Zhou can persuade your lord to quit the army, I will convince my lord to give him 500,000 stones of food and grass to the general, so that the general can give you an explanation to your lord."
Jingzhou has nothing to lack, and it has money and food, and is rich and prosperous. However, at this time, what is short of survival is time. All your life and life may not be preserved. What is food and grass?
With Kuai Yue's suggestion, Zhou Tai's expression slowed down and he finally made up his mind to go back and persuade Guo Jia to withdraw his troops.
Kuai Yue was naturally happy and said that Zhou Tai was a hero, and he was even about to be called brother and brother.
Yuan Shu was about to march south, and Kuai Yue had no time to explore the truth and reality of Guo Jia's other troops in Qing Dynasty. Accompanied by Zhou Tai, he walked out of the tent and planned to return to Xiangyang.
"Brother Yidu, it's not that he is a villain. If your master is unwilling to give him food, what should he do then?"
Kuai Yue could only make a proposal, and he had no right to decide, so it was understandable that Zhou Tai was concerned about this.
But Kuai Yue said confidently: "My lordship and righteousness spread far and wide, and this matter will definitely not be blocked."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Tai smiled and said casually: "Yes, Jingzhou is a place where many battles are fought. Today, Yuan Shu overestimates himself and promotes a ruthless army. In the future, there may be short-sighted people repeating the same mistakes. If Liu Jun can form an allies with our master and help each other, he will not only protect Yizhou, but also rest assured to Jingzhou. Maybe he can also work hard to support the Han Dynasty."
Kuai Yue, who had turned over and embarked on the return journey, knew that Zhou Tai's words before leaving sounded good intentions, but in fact they were warnings.
If Liu Biao did not send food and grass, even if Yuan Shu was defeated today and there would be a great enemy attack in Jingzhou in the future, Guo Jia would not only take advantage of the situation to rob him...
