Chapter 65: Too Much

Wu Xian first persuaded Cao Jie and Cao Xian to return to the room, and then Guo Jia pushed open the door of Guo Jin's study.

After stepping into the study and looking at the messy bamboo slips on the ground, Guo Jia picked up some and looked at them.

Smile knowingly.

Guo Jin wanted to criticize Cao Cao with poetry, but he seemed to be unsatisfied with how he wrote it.

There are many ways to criticize others with words, but it is rare to criticize others. The scolding is so outspoken. There is already a Chen Lin proclamation for the fight against thieves as a model in contemporary times. It is difficult for others to surpass them.

You can also praise others with some allusions with a bleak ending. It sounds like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually a satire.

Guo Jin held the pen and his eyes were dull. When he saw Guo Jia coming, two tears fell unwillingly in his eyes.

Others praised him as a child prodigy, but now he wanted to write a essay that scolded the Cao family and even wrote a essay without any hesitation. In front of Guo Jia, he was simply ashamed.

"Father, the baby is useless."

Guo Jin lowered his head and was very guilty.

Guo Jia touched his head comfortably, took a pen from his hand, wrote four words on the blank bamboo slip in front of him, and said, "Your talent is neither for showing off nor for criticizing others. Don't take this matter to heart. Let's go, it's time to have supper, don't worry your family."

In Guo Jia's opinion, if Guo Jin insists on fighting back, he will be inferior.

Cao Zhi was standing on the bronze croaker platform, what was the situation? Moreover, the theme of this fu was not specifically for Guo Jia, but he used the scenery to express his emotions and took advantage of the strange ideas to bring Guo Jia into it.

If Guo Jin's starting point is to belittle the Cao family, no matter how he writes it, it does not have the artistic conception of Cao Zhi.

Guo Jin stared at the four words with heavy pen power in Guo Jia, and was stunned.

Qiu Ling is so stupid!

Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, or poetry, Guo Jia's eyes are all art. Art cannot be used as a food, but art should be a good thing to cultivate sentiment. It is of little significance to attack others in the cloak of art, and even waste art.

Therefore, Guo Jia looked down on those guys who had some artistic achievements and were arrogant, which was contrary to the essence of art.

Yecheng

Cao Cao lived in the mansion that once belonged to the Yuan family. He was completely renovated inside and outside, and all the extravagant things were collected, simple and simple.

Xun You came to visit Cao Cao, actually just to remind Cao Cao that it is not the time to turn against Guo Jia.

Why?

Because Liu Biao in Jingzhou is seriously ill! I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive for long!

When Cao Cao faced Xun You, he said thoughtfully: "Guo Jia conquered the northwest and slaughtered nearly 100,000 people, and promoted Mi Fang to the northwest and took office as a Liangzhou Bie Jia. Is he already confused?"

The slaughter of the northwest is a sign, and promoting Mi Fang will definitely cause dissatisfaction among insiders.

These two things made Cao Cao think about it day and night and figure out Guo Jia's motives.

Logically, neither of these two things will be of any benefit within it, and will instead provoke internal disputes.

In Cao Cao's opinion, Guo Jia's two moves were all very wrong bad chess!

Destroy the Great Wall!

Xun You didn't have the heart to think about how Guo Jia was doing, but said sincerely to Cao Cao: "Lord, Liu Jingsheng is afraid that his life will not last long. Lord, let's think about how to take Jingzhou before Guo Jia."

After Xun Yu's death, since Xun Yun has gone to join Guo Jia, doesn't Xun You know Xun Yu's will on his deathbed?

No, he knows.

Everyone in the Xun family knows it!

However, how should the Xun family take the future? Xun Yu's death was not about turning against Cao Cao without knowing it.

According to the current situation, the Xun family wants to maintain and prosper, and it is impossible to become independent. If you defect to others, only Guo Jia and Cao Cao will compete with each other. However, if the Xun family seeks to rely on Guo Jia, they will no longer be as glorious as they are today. After all, when you are under Guo Jia, everything will start over.

Then there are only two ways left, to join forces with the imperial party or to remain loyal to the Cao family.

Xun Yu supported the Han Dynasty, what was the result?

Then the Xun family had only one way to continue to be loyal to Cao Cao. Besides, Cao Cao did not mean to suppress the Xun family, so he should give them the glory and was not stingy at all. If Xun Yun had not surrendered to Guo Jia, Cao Cao would even let Xun Yun replace Xun Yu's title.

Cao Cao looked at Xun You and smiled and said, "Don't Guo Jia know about the situation in Jingzhou? Once Liu Jingsheng dies, his troops in Hanzhong and Badong will immediately sweep Jingzhou. Therefore, before this, we must distract him and make him not care about the upcoming changes in Jingzhou."

To win the world, Jingzhou is the top priority. Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and even Sun Quan are all staring at Jingzhou. Of course, besides these three people, besides Guo Jia knows, there is another person who must be staring at Jingzhou!

Liu Bei!

So, since everyone is watching, Cao Cao may not be able to seize Jingzhou, so before Jingzhou changes, Cao Cao has to take another move first.

"The lord is right, but I don't know how the lord plans to distract Guo Jia?"

Cao Cao closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Issue a emperor's edict to ask Guo Jia to send a son to Xu Du as a host. If he is willing, it means that he has slaughtered Mi Fang in the northwest and promoted Mi Fang before, and is confusing me, because a monarch who can ignore the left and right reactions will not bow to me when his strength is equal. Even if he really sends a son, he must want me to be careless and despise him. If he refuses, then he will be disrespectful, which just proves that he is now arrogant and arrogant. I will fight to the point of being arrogant first."

Listening to the previous words, Xun You felt it made sense, but when he heard the decisive battle, he frowned.

Now the strength of the two families is difficult to distinguish. If there is a decisive battle, it is difficult to predict who will win.

"Lord, isn't this decisive battle a little too hasty?"

When Xun You asked, he saw Cao Cao's mysterious and weird smile, and suddenly realized.

The decisive battle is fake.

Cao Cao didn't explain, and asked Xun You to go down and act.

After a decree was sent to Chengdu, it caused an uproar.

Cao Zhi's poems have already insulted Guo Jia, but now he is arrogant and oppressing Guo Jia openly.

These are all means.

Guo Jia is a Han official. Aren’t you loyal to the Han Dynasty? Don’t you use the name of eliminating traitors and suppressing thieves for the Han Dynasty every time you expand?

Now, send a son to Xuchang, to the imperial capital, to the emperor, and to express his loyalty. What's the problem?

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Xiaolian and Maocai, elected from all over the country, had to go to the imperial capital, and the royal family further cultivated and observed it. Therefore, it was not a strange thing to send the descendants of the princes to the imperial capital. The key is that now the world is in chaos and the princes are in vain. If they send off descendants to the imperial capital, they are obviously hostages.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu jointly submitted a letter to Guo Jia, asking Guo Jia not to accept this edict.

The literati and military generals didn't care about the destructive things before. Some of them really couldn't hear what was wrong with Cao Zhi's poems and essays. Whether there was a metaphor, others didn't tell them, but after others pointed out the mystery, the military generals couldn't sit still. But Guo Jia didn't say anything, and they were not easy to get into trouble.

This time, Xu Du issued an edict, but it was clear at a glance that the military generals were filled with righteous indignation: Cao Cao was too bullying!

In the Yizhou Prefecture Conference Hall, the civil officials said nothing, and they all bowed their heads and remained indifferent, but the military generals were already holding their heads and fighting spirits.

If the lord of his family sent his son to be hostage, the military generals would feel very cowardly.

Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Zhang Yan, Deng Zhi, Zhang Ren and other military generals went out to kneel on one knee. Gao Shun, represented by Gao Shun, solemnly asked Guo Jia to order: "Lord, Cao thief has bullied the lord again and again. Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Please think twice. This edict cannot be accepted! Even if you meet Cao thief, the last general and others are willing to die on the battlefield for the lord, but they are not willing to see him be humiliated!"

In this situation, Guo Jia still remained calm.

On the side of the strategist, Zhang Song stepped out and looked at the generals who had kneeled on one knee, then bowed to Guo Jia and said, "Lord, now that Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not ill, Jingzhou is very likely to usher in a huge change. At this moment, it is not appropriate to start a war with the Cao thief. Otherwise, if Sun Quan from Jiangdong took over Jingzhou while the thief was fighting with the Cao thief, the future situation would not be optimistic."

The strategists have always thought a little further, and the current situation of the world is in a very delicate period.

Jingzhou is the most important thing in the world, and Liu Biao's serious illness means that the three forces around Jingzhou must be focused here.

Two heroes stand together to fight against each other. It is difficult to maintain balance in this situation. After accumulating strength, one side will inevitably wipe out the other side.

But if it develops into a situation of three-legged stalemate, then the three parties will curb each other, and the weaker two sides will unite to fight against the strong. When the strong become weak, the new strong side will face the new joint confrontation between the other two sides, and the situation will continue to be stalemate.

In order to avoid the occurrence of this situation, first of all, neither Cao Cao nor Guo Jia could allow Sun Quan to swallow Jingzhou.

Cao Cao was stronger, and Guo Jiasun was the same. However, Sun Quan could not be allowed to take Jingzhou. Otherwise, the strength of the Sun family in Jiangdong would advance rapidly in a short period of time and be on par with the forces of the Cao Guo family. By then, no one would have the strength to unify the world in one breath. Even if it grew stronger and became the strongest among the three families, it would face the joint attack of two opponents.

Therefore, Zhang Song’s departure also reminded Guo Jia.

Faced with the imperial edict of the court, there are many ways to do it, and rejection is the most unfavorable choice.

Even if Guo Jia doesn't want to send his son, he can agree first and use various reasons to delay time. After the situation in Jingzhou is clear, he will deal with this matter. Even if he regrets it, it will be hundreds of times better than directly refusing now.

Guo Jia stood up and waved his hand lightly, "I will make a decision on this matter for a few days."

"Master!"

Gao Shun and others changed their faces and said to Guo Jia.

The situation they least want to see is Guo Jia’s compromise, and after thinking about it for a few days, he seemed to be shaking.

Guo Jia waved his hand and said nothing before walking out.

With his back to the military general in the court, Guo Jia gradually moved farther and looked up at the sunset like a fire, and sneered: "Cao Mengde, you want a battle to reassure you to rush the south, I will give it to you."
