Chapter 27: A bolt from the blue

Under Guo Jia's majestic look, civil and military officials could only act according to their orders.

At this point, everyone's vision changed when they saw Guo Ye, and they all knew who would succeed the throne in the future.

Guo Jia would not use conspiracy in such matters, because the cost is very high, which can shake the foundation of the rule, and that the descendants will be bleeding.

He said that the successor was Guo Ye, so it was definitely not a hasty decision, and it would definitely not be changed at will.

When Guo Jia was less than 40 years old, he made a prince, which had two purposes. One was to guarantee the transfer of father and son in the regime, and the other was to cut off the idea of ​​other sons fighting for throne and avoid fighting with the same family.

It is conceivable that after today, no matter who under the rule is determined to cling to the dragon and the phoenix, at least he will not hug Guo Jia's other sons again because there is no future.

Unless Guo Ye can't wait to take Guo Jia's position, there will be no problems within the rule.

As a prince, he often wants to choose the best and best among the many descendants, so he will hesitate and watch one son grow up after another, and then compare it. Guo Jia did not consider these things. He did not wait for Guo Jin to become an adult, nor did Guo Yu grow up, nor would he wait for the sons who may have another son in the future. What he wants is stability. When all his sons grow up, as he is powerless, he will inevitably start a surging struggle for the throne. Such a struggle will not only make open and secret struggles of factions within the rule, but also make Guo Jia feel cold.

Is fate fair?

Never!

Guo Ye was attracted by Guo Jia. As long as Guo Jia was satisfied and felt that Guo Ye could inherit his great cause, Guo Jia would choose him without hesitation. As for the rest, he would not want to have a shocking genius son. It would be enough to make him trust and appreciate him.

After making a plan, civil and military officials retreated.

The generals were full of worries. If Guo Jia really encountered an unexpected situation, they would support Guo Ye wholeheartedly, but the least they wanted to see was that Guo Jia was in trouble.

This is Wei Yan's expression is calm, but his heart is actually surging.

Guo Jia has both famous Confucian generals and powerful Xionghu generals who are good at fighting and are able to compete with Guo Jia. He came to serve Guo Jia and received a grand reception from Guo Jia, but he did not entrusted him with important tasks. Instead, he was placed next to him. Only after dating with Guo Ye for the past few days made him deeply feel the appreciation of this approachable young man.

Now that Guo Jia has appointed Guo Ye as the prince in public, Wei Yan suddenly feels that the bright future is changing, and Guo Jia will definitely not choose him first, but with Guo Ye, the future will be bright.

After Jia Xu and Pang Tong left one after another, the two walked out side by side.

The afterglow of dusk shone on the two elegant literati. They walked forward in silence for a while. After no one on the left and right, Pang Tong looked at the road ahead and whispered: "Capture Jiangling and build Jiangdong well, but he didn't expect such an accident. I hope there will be no accident."

Jia Xu nodded slightly.

In Guo Jia's established strategic plan, after reaching Jiangling, what he has to do now is to live in peace with Jiangdong first, so Jiangdong's marriage strategy is redundant, but since Jiangdong has played this hand, Guo Jia has to deal with it.

If you refuse, the relationship between the two families will plummet, because not only will slap Sun Quan in the face in front of the world, but also will make Jiangdong mistakenly believe that Guo Jia intends to attack Jiangdong.

Therefore, Guo Jia can only accept it.

But this trip to Jianye alone is thrilling and unpredictable.

"Before the King of Wei went south, he wanted to lure his lord to the north, so he let the King of Wei get what he wanted. Now Wu Marquis is marrying his sister and marrying him. It seems that he wants the lord to despise Jiangdong. The King of Wei uses evil plans and Wu Marquis uses good plans. Yin and Yang are divided, and the same works are the same. Each family has its own abacus and the lord's plan. I don't expect that Wu Marquis and Cao Wei will guess."

Jia Xu's tone was as light as ever.

Jiangdong is now posing in a low position, and even Sun Quan is willing to use his own sister to be a concubine for Guo Jia. It is obvious that he wants Guo Jia to take off his defense against Jiangdong.

Pang Tong looked up at the setting sun in the west and said thoughtfully: "I hope the lord will return fairly and safely. I don't expect Sun Quan to take risks with the six counties of Jiangdong. Sun Quan is not a person who takes risks and makes good use of strange strategies. The lord married the sister of Wuhou. In the coming year, the lord will win the world with his sword!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and quipped, "At that time, my old bones could be returned to the field to live in seclusion and enjoy the peace and happiness."

Pang Tong turned his head to look at Jia Xu, looked at his silver-haired and white bearded but energetic appearance, pointed at him and shook his head and smiled, "Who doesn't know that Mr. Wenhe is wise and stupid, hiding in the temple. If you retire, your lord will not agree."

The two looked at each other and smiled, chatting casually, leaving, and the backs of the two under the afterglow of the sunset were transcendent and elegant.

The Marquis of Wu Sun Quan wanted to welcome Guo Jia to Jianye. Jiangdong's fleet was waiting for Guo Jia in Chibi, and was about to pass by Jiangxia. It was temporarily Liu Bei's stronghold. In order to prevent Liu Bei from interfering with him, when Guo Jia led a thousand guards to Chibi after Zhang Ren led a thousand guards to escort him, he boarded the warship in Jiangdong and went to Jiangdong.

Even if Liu Bei knew that Guo Jia was on the warship in Jiangdong, he would not dare to intercept Hengjiang. So what if he was asked to kill Guo Jia? There are nearly 150,000 Taiping troops in Jiangling. If something happened to Guo Jia, he would spend all his troops to take revenge. Sun and Liu continued to fight together, and he would be unable to make the situation come true.

Just as Guo Jia stepped into Jiangdong, Cao Ren, who retreated to Fancheng, sent someone to transport Cao Cao's body to Yecheng. The body took a long time because it was transported by a carriage. The fast horse sent by Cao Ren rushed to Yecheng to report the news, and then arrived first.

Yecheng

Under the winter sunlight, it makes people lazy and unable to lift their energy. A slender figure slowly walked forward on the official road leading to the Wei State Government Office.

Sima Yi, who was wearing wide clothes and wide sleeves, looked calm and thought about his thoughts while walking on the road.

Calculate the day, the war situation in the south should be heard back.

The King of Wei raised 200,000 troops to Jingzhou. Without bloodshed, he would not know what the outcome of the war to attack Jiangdong was.

Sima Yi showed a sneer.

It seems that the world will belong to Cao Wei.

The Han Dynasty is on the verge of destruction.

"Guo Jia, if you make a mistake, you will feel regret forever."

Sima Yi sneered.

The King of Wei first used Cao Zhi's poem to humiliate Guo Jia, and then openly asked Guo Jia to send his son to Xuchang. With these two moves, he angered Guo Jia and rushed north to fight in Sili. As a result, the King of Wei shot a fake shot and dragged Guo Jia's main force into Guanzhong, putting down his worries and swept south to Jingzhou.

This shows that Guo Jia is over-named!

Sima Yi stepped on the steps of the Wei Palace. Suddenly, he stopped. The solemn and grand door was wide open, and chaotic crying came from inside, including men and women, old and young.

At the gate of the mansion, Sima Yi has always been earlier than others and returned later than others, so when he entered and left the gate of the mansion, there were often fewer people.

But just after a short period of time when he stopped and thought, he suddenly noticed the sound of rapid footsteps coming from behind. He turned his head and frowned.

The civil and military officials in Yecheng, regardless of their official rank, rushed towards the royal palace with fear.

Sima Yi was a new face in the officialdom of Yecheng, and his social relationship was not extensive. After passing by so many people who were rushing, Sima Yi couldn't find someone who could ask him to ask. After a long time, he finally found one.

Chen Qun.

After catching Chen Qun, Sima Yi wanted to ask clearly what happened.

Sima Yi didn't want to walk into the palace ignorantly, so he wanted to make himself prepared first.

"Zhongda, what are you still standing here for?"

Sima Yi didn't speak, but Chen Qun, who was held down by him, asked him about him with a worried look.

"My lords are frowning and in a hurry. Crying sounds are heard in the palace. I dare to ask Lord Chen, what happened? Please tell me honestly so that I can have a clear idea in my heart."

Sima Yi finished speaking calmly, Chen Qun was stunned and asked again: "You really don't know?"

As a prince's son, Sima Yi had neither real power nor shallow experience. His family's foundation was in the Central Plains, and Sima Lang, who was an official, was not in Yecheng.

In addition to being appreciated and valued by Cao Pi, Sima Yi really couldn't listen to all directions and see the six directions in Yecheng.

Sima Yi looked at Chen Qun with a calm expression and did not answer.

The meaning is very clear: What do you think?

Chen Qun came to his senses and thought it clear that Sima Yi could not pretend to be stupid at this time.

So he lowered his voice and said, "King of Wei died in Jingzhou! He died of Guo Jia's hand!"

"Varied!"

Sima Yi looked shocked and blurted out and was about to shout. Fortunately, Chen Qun covered his mouth quickly with quick eyes and hands.

This is at the gate of the Wei Prince's Mansion. First of all, you cannot make noise at will, and you cannot make any statement about this. If the Cao family hears it, what will you think.

Anyway, you can be shocked when you hear this kind of thing, but you should avoid it even if you talk about it.

Sima Yi was shocked.

King Cao Cao of Wei, is he dead?!

The news came from the beginning of the month was that the King of Wei was preparing to go to Jiangdong in Jiangling!

Although Sima Yi had read the battle report and the situation information in the south by Cao Pi, he analyzed in his heart that Cao Cao's battle to attack Jiangdong might not have a high chance of victory.

Three points win, seven points lose.

But even if he was defeated, Sima Yi thought at least Cao Cao could hold on to the fruit of victory: Jingzhou.

In any case, it is one thing to not be able to swallow Jiangdong, and it is another thing to preserve Jingzhou and expand its territory.

In a war, it is never a win or a defeat. The winner's strength increases greatly and the loser directly perishes.

Sima Yi thought that Cao Cao might suffer a defeat at the hands of the Sun and Liu coalition. Even if it was a big defeat, it would be okay to withdraw the troops? Is it okay to defend Jingzhou? Is the Sun and Liu coalition fighting a war that will not kill anyone? Is the food, grass and supplies not consumed?

Cao Cao had 400,000 troops in Jingzhou!

How many Sun and Liu coalitions are there? Even if they recruit temporarily, it is impossible to exceed 150,000!

Why, how could he end up dying from a foreign land?

Sima Yi woke up in shock, and the news was like a bolt from the blue.

"What's the situation in Jingzhou? How many soldiers and horses did the King of Wei lose?"

Sima Yi thought of what Chen Qun said, "The King of Wei was killed by Guo Jia." He inferred that it was very likely that Guo Jia unexpectedly joined the war and cut off Cao Cao's retreat.

He could not have expected that Cao Cao would lead 300,000 troops to be wiped out in Chibi. This result was something Sima Yi would never believe unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Chen Qun looked at the pedestrians on both sides, approached Sima Yi's ear, and said in a deep voice: "The King of Wei was in Jiangxia, and he broke 300,000 troops. Cao Zixiao led 100,000 troops to withdraw from Jiangling and retreat to Fancheng."
