Chapter 58: Watching on the wall

Guo Jia and Zhu Rong were sitting opposite each other in the martial arts court and chatting. Guo Ying ran over and pulled his arm next to him, shaking it.

"Dad, when will I go to Chang'an to play?"

Guo Jia raised his lips and asked, "Are you going to play or to see Brother Xiaojiu?"

Guo Ying pouted, turned her head and stopped talking. After a while, Guo Jia didn't coax her, so she made a face at Guo Jia and turned around and ran away.

Guo Ying ran out like a gust of wind. Guo Jin, who was walking towards the martial arts field, was startled and quickly let the road go aside. Guo Jin had already had the awareness of retreating towards Guo Ying, his aunt.

When he walked into the martial arts field, Guo Jin held a letter in his hand, respectfully bowed to Guo Jia and Zhurong and then held the letter in both hands.

"Father, Master Xi asked the child to pass this letter to his father."

Guo Jia didn't ask much, took the letter and opened it to take a look.

Hohohoho

There was laughter everywhere. After Guo Jia saw it, he raised his letter and handed it to Guo Jin standing.

"Look at it, and after reading it, tell me what the letter is.

Guo Jin's expression of confusion flashed by, and then he felt extremely serious.

The first time he took the letter was to see the signature.

right!

Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu!

Guo Jin knew that they had never had any close contacts with Jiangdong. After all, there was a Jingzhou between the two families, so naturally there was no contact to fight.

Starting reading from scratch, Guo Jin looked at it more and more, and his face also had a smile.

The first half of the letter is to praise Guo Jia’s achievements over the years, and the second half is to sincere blessings. Because Wu Xian gave birth to a daughter a month ago, Sun Quan wrote a letter to congratulate him on this ground. The previous friendship between the two families was also mentioned between the lines. From Guo Jia and Sun Jian to Guo Jia and Sun Ce, it is not considered serious, but it is definitely not completely unrelated.

Guo Jin bowed to Guo Jia and said, "Father, Sun Quan is showing goodwill to his father. After Cao Cao occupied Hebei, Sun Quan was uneasy. He now hopes that his father can lend a helping hand when Jiangdong is in trouble."

Guo Jia stood up, and Guo Jin, who was over teenage, was only at Guo Jia's chest. Guo Jia reached out and pressed on his shoulder, and said softly: "Jin'er, this letter has hundreds of words, but you missed a sentence."

Guo Jia said earnestly: "I am strong and Sun Quan is weak. He naturally wants to flatter me, but his purpose is not to flatter me, but to make me and Cao Cao defeat the death."

Guo Jin lowered his head and opened the letter and looked carefully. Finally, he saw a sentence at the end.

That sentence is really inconspicuous compared to the full praise.

It is better to ask the emperor to move to the Western Capital to say that Chang'an is becoming more prosperous and far better than Xuchang.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were four capitals that were well-known.

First, Chang'an, the western capital of the Han Dynasty.

Second, Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty.

Third, Emperor Xian moved the capital to Xuchang.

Fourth, Cao Cao was called King Yecheng.

Among these four capitals, Xuchang was the capital of Emperor Xian, representing the Han Dynasty, and Yecheng was the vassal state of Cao Cao, the queen of Jin and Wei. This was a country in the country and did not represent the world, but a symbol of the queen's self-rule. After Cao Cao's death, the ceremony of Cao Pi's succession was also held in Yecheng.

Xuchang is a political symbol, but Cao Cao did not devote much effort. Yecheng, the center of his ruling title after Cao Wei truly developed and strengthened, really invested a lot of money in his business. Of course, this is a later story. At this time, the emperors were all Xuchang, and Xuchang was originally a county town, how could he be as well as Chang'an and Luoyang?

Although Luoyang is in the hands of Cao Cao, it is at most a strategic city, so it has been in a state of destruction and decline after nearly ten years of business recovery in Guo Jia, Chang'an has become the prosperous capital second only to Chengdu in the world.

Sun Quan intends to support Guo Jia to welcome the emperor to Chang'an. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not in a good mood. He wants to provoke a war between Guo Jia and Cao Cao. It doesn't matter whether Jiangdong can reap profits. What is important is to consume these two most powerful heroes in the world.

In Guo Jia's eyes, this matter may not require Sun Quan to be sowed. He and Cao Cao are incompatible. Whether it is political or personal grudges, the two families are in peace and stability only temporarily. Without Sun Quan's sowedness, the two families will one day meet each other.

Guo Jin lowered his head with some shame, and his hand holding the letter gradually tightened.

Guo Jia smiled relaxedly and said, "Jin'er, do you know why Sun Quan wrote to Father at this time?"

Guo Jin raised his head and couldn't figure it out.

The statement in Sun Quan’s letter was to congratulate Guo Jia on getting a daughter. In fact, what is the excuse for such a thing?

Why now?

Guo Jin shook his head ashamed again.

Guo Jia walked out with his shoulders, and walked and said, "Two years ago, I conquered Liangzhou for my father. Now, Sun Quan thought that the accumulation of strength for his father had been effective and would have the idea of ​​expanding his troops. At this moment, Prime Minister Cao wanted to attack Wuhuan, but Sun Quan dared not provoke Cao Cao, because even if he captured Xuchang, when Cao Cao led his army back, he would not only take back a city in Xuchang. Therefore, Sun Quan hoped that this once-in-a-lifetime fighter opportunity could be captured by his father."

Guo Jin, who followed Guo Jia out, raised his head in confusion and asked, "Will my father be fooled by Sun Quan?"

Guo Jia reached out and flicked his forehead, and smiled and said, "This is not considered to be Sun Quan using a trick. Prime Minister Cao is indeed an opportunity to fight Wuhuan."

After ten years of rest and ten years of rest, Guo Jia was very patient. He was not anxious and was not worried when facing the situation where Cao Cao swallowed Hebei.

Walking out of the field, Guo Jia lowered his head and said to Guo Jin: "You just write a reply letter to Sun Quan for your father. You can write it yourself. Just let Zi Ji read it after writing it."

Guo Jin took the order back to his room, picked up a handwritten letter, and wrote a reply in one go. After writing it, he hurriedly ran to pay homage to Qin Mi.

Qin Mi was very surprised by Guo Jin's visit. After reading Guo Jin's reply, he nodded and smiled.

The lyrics are gorgeous and the words are praised throughout the article.

Guo Jin's reply letter is almost the same as Sun Quan's letter, and it is all praising the other party's actions over the years. Whether it is good or bad, it is written in words that make people feel relaxed and happy.

Anyway, this is a false conspiracy. Even if Guo Jia really wants to attack Cao Cao, he will never tell Sun Quan. Guo Jin can still understand this thought, so the reply letter to Sun Quan does not need to express his attitude. Just praise the other party just by chanting the other party.

Half a year later, Cao Cao led his army north, intending to spend the winter in Hebei, and cross the Great Wall in one fell swoop to conquer Wuhuan in one fell swoop!

When Cao Cao went to fight Wuhuan, although the base camp was not empty, no one was necessarily taking the opportunity to attack.

But this is definitely a godsend opportunity!

Liu Biao dared not fight, Sun Quan could not defeat him, but Guo Jia was the only one. If he went out to Guandong, especially after Cao Cao personally crossed the Great Wall, it would give Cao Cao a heavy blow.

Not only did the Chengdu Nei Dian Wei Xu, Chu, Zhang Yan and other military generals ask Guo Jia for battle, but also Pang Tong Xi Zhicai, as well as Xu Shu and Fa Zheng in Guanzhong, they all wrote letters to Guo Jia to go to war.

Sitting in the main seat of the Yizhou Prefecture Deliberate Hall, Guo Jia had no expression on his face, with Chinese language in the hall, Xi Zhicai and Gan Ning as the leader. The two expressed their intention to ask Guo Jia for a fight on behalf of the civil and military personnel.

The military generals knelt on one knee and clasped their fists to ask for their orders, while the civil officials bowed, and even Jia Xu supported Xi Zhicai's proposal: to attack the Central Plains.

If you want to fight, then now start preparing. When Cao Cao leads his army from central Hebei to attack Liucheng next spring, it will be the best time for Guo Jia to go out of the Kanto Expedition.

Therefore, the decision to fight or not fight must now be made.

Guo Jia, who sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, asked softly in the face of the unanimous desire of civil and military personnel to ask for battle.

"Who is Cao Cao going to fight?"

The generals who knelt on one knee were all stunned and looked at the civil officials sideways.

The lord asked what this means?

Fight Wuhuan!

Guo Jia must know, but why do you want to ask? The generals don’t know the answer.

In fact, many people on the side of civil officials know why.

Jia Xu was helpless and followed the crowd. He didn't like to show off, so the civil officials asked for a fight, so he had to join in with him. If he objected, wouldn't it be too eye-catching?

When Guo Jia asked this question, Jia Xu sighed slightly in his heart.

Hope is not the kindness of a woman.

Xi Zhicai showed his struggle, but he still insisted on saying to Guo Jia: "Lord, don't lose your opportunity and don't come again, don't hesitate."

Opening his eyes, Guo Jia said softly with a calm expression: "I have never hesitated. Cao Cao was fighting Wuhuan. I will not interfere with it at this time. The war between me and Cao Cao is a dispute between the Han and the Han and the Yi people. Let's retreat. Everyone should do their own duties."

After saying that, Guo Jia stood up, ignored the regretful and sighing reaction of Chinese Chinese martial artists in the hall.

Guo Jia knew very well what he was doing. Putting aside his chances of winning the Eastern Expedition at this time, and regardless of what kind of considerations Cao Cao advocated fighting Wuhuan, at least he did not plan to suddenly shoot a cold arrow behind Cao Cao.

Many people have said that the Chinese nation likes internal struggle and is a nation that is good at fighting in the nest. Guo Jia is not interested in proposing anything, but when it comes to Cao Cao's fight against Wuhuan, he wants to express his position.

The war between the princes can do everything possible, but Cao Cao is not going to defeat the princes, but a foreign tribe, a foreign tribe who constantly harasses the Han people. At this time, Guo Jia supports Cao Cao in his heart. Therefore, before Cao Cao returns from his conquest of Wuwan, he can temporarily put aside the dispute between the two families.

This is a matter of principle. It can be imagined that because of the relationship between the Yuan family and the Wuhuan, Cao Cao's conquest of the Wuhuan was to solve the worries of the north. This was beneficial to him and also to the entire Chinese nation. The result was beneficial to the nation.

If Guo Jia went out of Guandong, Cao Cao would definitely withdraw his troops. Then Wuhuan took advantage of the situation to enter the south of the Great Wall to plunder the Han people. Guo Jia also helped Wuhuan in disguise, which not only relieved their danger of collapse, but also provided them with the opportunity to move south to invade.

Guo Jia's current inaction attitude is not intended to teach others a lesson, but only hopes to give his descendants a clear statement: national interests are always higher than anything else.

Otherwise, Guo Jia could take advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Wuhuan today. Will his descendants betray the nation in order to defeat the enemy in the future?

Just as Guo Jia insisted on destroying the Southern Xiongnu, the Han people fought and chaotic, and it was their own business. They were not allowed to intervene outsiders, nor could they ignore outsiders and take advantage of the situation.
