Volume 2: Taking advantage of the border to protect the danger] Chapter 34: Kissing

Chapter 34: Kiss

Some words are indeed tacitly understood.

Guo Jia could say these words to Zhou Yu, but he would only give Sun Quan an impeccable smile.

Face and dignity are needed among the princes, but the princes do not have to deal with their ministers.

Zhou Yu felt frightened when facing Guo Jia, who was fearless in front of him, who wanted to die at his hands.

Jiangdong belongs to the Sun family, and Zhou Yu is just a minister. Even though he has a high position and power to influence Sun Quan's decision-making, he never had the power to take risks with Jiangdong.

Besides, Guo Jia's words have been made very clear.

Killing was as expected, even as he thought.

He could die, look up at the Biluo in the underworld, watch his son trampling Jiangdong with his wretched soldiers, and then sweeping the world.

If a father can have a son who is above everything else, he will be proud and he will die without regrets!

Zhou Yu knew Guo Jia's ambition to destroy Jiangdong, but he didn't dare to kill the person in front of him with one sword.

The Taiping Army of Jiangxia, which had more than 100,000, had already made Liu Bei feel anxious. Guo Jia achieved the goal of shaking the mountains and shaking the tigers.

Clam

Guo Jia pressed the sword back into Zhou Yu's scabbard, turned around and walked back to the window.

"Gongjin, if you don't kill me today, you will regret it, and Wu Hou will regret it. But you made the right decision. If you don't kill me now, Jiangdong still has a chance to turn the situation around. If you kill with one sword, then Jiangdong will prepare a coffin for himself first."

Zhang Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The depressed and tense atmosphere just now made him sweat like a rain of cold sweat. Wouldn't Zhou Yu feel relieved?

Now, Zhou Yu was unsure, and he couldn't predict whether Guo Jia was bluffing.

But Guo Jia really wanted to use his death to create opportunities for the Taiping Army. He didn't need Zhou Yu to draw his sword, and he would commit suicide. As long as he died in Jiangdong, whether it was his own actions or the people in Jiangdong, it was the reason for the Taiping Army to attack Jiangdong.

It was raining heavily, and Sun Quan and Lu Su, who were standing under the eaves of the attic, looked gloomy and sunny.

After several paces, Sun Quan talked to himself and gritted his teeth.

"I just knew, I just knew! Guo Jia couldn't come to Jiangdong without doing anything. He had already made sure everything."

Seeing Sun Quan spinning around like an ant on a hot pan, Lu Su bowed and said in a deep voice: "My lord is careful, this matter has not yet reached the point of being irreversible. Guo Envoy plans to act. Before he came to Jiangdong, he must have deployed the current military operations, with the purpose of shocking Jiangdong and not giving Jiangdong a chance to delay time. The marriage between the two families is believed to be completed as soon as possible, and then let Guo Envoy return. At least not let Guo Envoy doubt Jiangdong's sincerity. Jiangdong cannot give someone a handle. Since they are making good friends, then treat each other sincerely."

After hearing this, Sun Quan suddenly woke up.

He originally wanted to please Guo Jia and let the Taiping Army have no excuse to attack Jiangdong.

If you delay and obstruct, wouldn’t it be a waste of time and backfire?

Moreover, marriage is to express kindness, friendship, and secretly plan ill-behavior things. By then, the friendship between the two families will not be formed, isn’t it a futile situation?

After sorting out his emotions and calming down his shock and anger, Sun Quan walked up to the attic and returned to the room.

"I hope you will forgive me for what happened just now, because I am not strict in my rule."

Sun Quan did not notice Zhou Yu's gloomy expression and looked at Guo Jia, who was facing the heavy rain outside the window with all his attention.

Turning around, Guo Jia smiled casually, not caring about it at all.

Sun Quan and Guo Jia sat down again. After hesitating, Sun Quan said, "The envoy and Emperor Liu agreed that the one-month period has not arrived yet, but why did the Taiping Army enter Jiangxia?"

Sun Quan pretended to be confused because the Taiping Army entered Jiangxia. It was obvious that the drunken man's intention was not to drink. If Liu Bei wanted to destroy Liu Bei, would he need to go out in full?

But he could only use this excuse to ask questions.

He smiled distractedly, and Guo Jia also pretended to be confused with his understanding.

"Oh, that was the one I told my eldest son to lead the army to welcome the bride before leaving. Isn't it a trivial matter for Marquis Wu to marry a girl? If he doesn't treat him grandly, wouldn't he be disrespectful to Jiangdong? I hope Marquis Wu will not be surprised."

Sun Quan smiled forcibly and scolded in his heart.

Welcoming a bride?

Nearly 150,000 fully armed troops come to welcome the bride?

Marriage is a happy event. Once these more than 100,000 troops arrive, the whole Jiangdong may have to hold a funeral!

Sun Quan drove away the random thoughts in his mind, and now he doesn't care about anything else. He will get the wedding as soon as possible, so it's best to send Guo Jia away.

In this way, when the two families get married, what reason does Guo Jia have to attack Jiangdong?

Everything is tentative, and the wedding ceremony is arranged the next day. Even if the weather is not good, it rains heavily, people in Jiangdong will say it is an auspicious day.

The wedding day was after heavy rain, with a cold wind whizzing, and the air was filled with freshness after the rain, but the sky was still shrouded in haze.

The lights and decorations were decorated, the drums and drums were beaten, and all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were present, but the beautiful zither in their ears made them have no expression.

The marriage between Guo Jia and Sun Shangxiang made Jiangdong feel humiliated, not to mention that the incident between Lu Meng and Lu Fan was also involved. Jiangdong's civil and military officials suppressed anger in their hearts, but could only compromise.

As midnight approaches, the banquet is over.

When we arrive at Dunlun, it is the bridal chamber.

The secluded courtyard was brightly lit, and Sun Shangxiang sat quietly beside the bed in the wedding room. Her men and women guards were all outside the house, each step at every step and every whistle, still looking proud, and she was right at Guo Jia's guards, and was clamoring for Guo Jia's guards.

Guo Jia, who had been dealing with the errand and drank a few glasses of wine, accompanied by Zhang Ren to the door of the wedding room. Zhang Ren was about to leave, but Guo Jia grabbed him and the two sat down on the steps.

"This time I'll let you accompany me to Jiangdong, it's hard for you."

Guo Jia held his chin, like a frustrated young man looking at the moon covered with clouds, listless.

Zhang Ren knows what Guo Jia means.

This trip to Jiangdong will lead to a lifetime of death.

Although Guo Jia is prepared, Jiangdong may not really dare to do anything to Guo Jia.

If the Marquis of Wu really had the confidence to fight to the death, then Guo Jia would have fallen to the ground, and Zhang Ren and other guards would be buried with him.

"The Lord's words are so serious. It is the honor of the last general to be with the Lord at this time, and there is no regret for death."

Zhang Ren's words were not hypocritical at all. He knew that Guo Jia's sudden appearance changed the fate of many people.

He was born in a poor family in Yizhou and has been suffering from cold since childhood. If Guo Jia had not provided this platform for him, he might have made a name for himself. It would not be impossible, but it would be difficult for him to compete with the wealthy and powerful families under unequal conditions.

A scholar dies for his confidant.

In Zhang Ren's heart, Guo Jia was his lord and his confidant. Because Guo Jia knew his ability, he promoted him and appointed him.

"Lord, don't you go in?"

Zhang Ren looked at Guo Jia and stared at the night sky, dazed and couldn't figure out how long he was going to do here.

On this wedding day, it would be bad to let the bride stay alone in the empty room, right?

Guo Jia waved his hand casually and said in a relaxed mood: "I have no interest in a woman who is not serious and arrogant."

She has long been visually immunized to beauty. When Guo Jia faced Sun Shangxiang, she had no feelings for her first, and the marriage between the two families had become settled, and her value was dispensable. Third, when Sun Shangxiang herself, Guo Jia only saw a rich lady who was ignorant of the world, and there was nothing else.

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhang Ren nodded unknowingly.

Many of Guo Jia's wives and concubines, whether they are the real wife Zhen Jiang, or the concubine Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Xiao Qiao and others, Zhang Ren is very respectful because during the years they have accompanied Guo Jia, they have shown the moral virtues that women of this era should have. Sun Shangxiang, just because she indulged her subordinates to attack the Guards, Zhang Ren was disgusted with her from the bottom of her heart, and being beautiful could not save this impression.

"I was confused in my heart, but I wonder if the lord is inconvenient to solve the problem?"

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Zhang Ren said the words pressed down on his heart.

Guo Jia was still looking at the sky, his eyes were not focused, and he said casually: "Hmm? Just ask if you have anything. You should know me, there are not so many rules."

Zhang Ren thought about it and asked, "Why did the lord force Zhou Yu? Why did he inform him of our army's marching strategy?"

This is something Zhang Ren couldn't figure out. Yesterday, he really made him sweat all over and he was cold from head to toe.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't make any move in the end.

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at Zhang Ren calmly, and asked, "Do you think Zhou Gongjin hates me now?"

Zhang Ren replied without hesitation: "Of course I hate it. The lord told him openly that he would definitely come to conquer Jiangdong in the future. How could he remain indifferent? The last general believes that he will not only be cautious about the lord, but also wait for an opportunity to attack our army."

Guo Jia patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder and nodded, "You are right. Zhou Yu hates me. I took off the hypocritical mask in front of him, just to make him understand my attitude towards Jiangdong. If he wants to stop me, he will curb the growth of the Taiping Army. Jiangdong will definitely not sit still and wait for death. However, this is exactly what I want."

Zhang Ren was stunned and couldn't figure out Guo Jia's intention.

Guo Jia is better if the military strategy is clouded and attacks him without preparation. It is obvious that Jiangdong is always guarding against him. Isn’t this increasing the difficulty for himself?

Zhang Ren did not come to the bottom of the matter, so Guo Jia asked him to take out a copy of "Huainanzi" from the bamboo slips he brought with him. He carried the lantern, and Guo Jia sat on the steps and watched it all night.

After not sleeping all night, Guo Jiaqiang was ready to say goodbye to Sun Quan. Even if he refused to leave, Sun Quan would drive him away.

However, Sun Quan was shocked to learn from his subordinates that Guo Jia was sitting quietly outside the wedding room for a night.

As soon as he got up, the sky was bright and the sun was shining brightly. Sun Quan thought that this was the beginning of Jiangdong's turn to light. At least, there was no war crisis for the time being.

But his subordinate's report made him feel restless again.

Sun Shangxiang offended Guo Jia before. Will Guo Jia be upset?

The marriage was completed, but if Guo Jia and Sun Shangxiang had a conflict, wouldn’t Sun Quan’s painstaking efforts be wasted?

Can Sun Shangxiang do such a thing?

Sun Quan is very sure that she can do it!

Just when Guo Jia was inspiration to say goodbye to Sun Quan, Sun Quan unexpectedly made another marriage proposal.

Sun Quan had no older children, he was only twenty-seven.

But he has young children.

Sun Quan knew that Guo Jia had refused to ask others for a marriage proposal from his daughter, so he did not cause any trouble.

Guo Jia's legitimate son Guo Ye had already had several children, but his youngest son Guo Yu had not yet.

Therefore, Sun Quan proposed to marry his daughter to Guo Yu, hoping to form a two-generation in-law relationship with Guo Jia.
