Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi's attitude may be more nasty in later generations, and even a little irritating, but at this time it is really very effective. Guo Jia was originally moved by Li Yi's courtesy, and now seeing Li Yi like this, he almost choked up up.

However, this kind of treatment is Guo Jia. As a time traveler, Li Yi still knows a little about Guo Jia's temperament. He is not afraid that Guo Jia will become arrogant because of this. It will be like this.

After lunch, Li Yi invited Guo Jia to take a walk in the Fuzhong Garden. First, they chatted. Li Yi asked Guo Jia about the situation at home, and Guo Jia basically told the truth, including the fact that his mother urged him to come to see Li Yi.

Li Yi laughed, but he didn't rashly tell Guo Jia to move.

As for why Guo Jia came back from Yuan Shao, Guo Jia didn't mention it. Although he didn't like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was a good person, and there was nothing wrong with Guo Jia. Yi also tacitly didn't ask any questions.

Because Guo Jia said that he had been to Li Yi's military camp before, Li Yi asked about the situation there by the way, and only then did he know that Guo Jia went there as a refugee, and he ate a meal for nothing, but he didn't Report your name to visit.

Guo Jia was a little embarrassed when he said this, and Li Yi understood it when he thought about it. At that time, Guo Jia obviously didn't have the intention to take refuge, and he was afraid that he would be detained by Li Yi's people after he reported his name.

According to Guo Jia, the situation of Li Yi's base camp is very good, and there are really over [-] refugees gathered. Although the camp is stationed on the edge of Nanyang, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are far away, and there is no provocation Meaning, everything is fine.

After chatting, the two had arrived in the middle of the garden. Li Yi waved back the serving maid and invited Guo Jia to sit opposite each other. At this time, the expressions of the two were much more serious than before, because they both understood that it was time to talk about business.

Guo Jia was the first to speak, and asked very bluntly: "The Marquis of Xiang didn't stay in Chang'an, but came to Nanyang, but did he want to take Jingzhou?"

Li Yidao: "Naturally, although Liu Jingsheng has the ability to govern the people, he has no ability to protect the people. He obviously owns a state, but he is helpless against Yuan Shu. The ián zhàn loses his army and loses his generals. As the prefect of Nanyang, for the sake of the people of Jingzhou, I should stand up."

Guo Jia couldn't help but opened his mouth and smiled silently. It was really shameless what Li Yi said. He clearly wanted to grab Liu Biao's territory, but he said it was for the people, and he didn't blush or heartbeat. It was really shameless.

However, Guo Jia not only never tires of Li Yi's shamelessness, but appreciates it very much.

A purely good gentleman or a moral role model can only govern one county and one city in troubled times, but it is absolutely impossible to establish a career.

On the contrary, only a shameless person like Li Yi has the opportunity to struggle and make progress in troubled times.

Guo Jia asked again: "Then what is the specific plan of the Marquis Xiang?"

Seeing that Guo Jia dared to ask himself such an important matter, Li Yi couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, knowing that Guo Jia's lord was determined, so Li Yi didn't hold back, and slowly told Guo Jia the many plans he had prepared in the future. He didn't even hide the fact that he wanted to attack Cai Yu.

After finishing speaking, Li Yi was looking forward to it, although he had discussed all these things with Jia Xu before, and although both of them were not bad in resourcefulness, Guo Jianeng, known as a ghost, might be able to point out some of the shortcomings.

Hearing Li Yi's plan for the future, Guo Jia admired it very much, because according to Li Yi's plan, winning Jingzhou is almost inevitable, it's nothing more than a matter of time.

It's just that for Guo Jia personally, the situation is not so good.

Li Yi treated him as a national scholar, if he had no plans for a national scholar, what face would he have to be treated politely by Li Yi?

Moreover, what Guo Jia has to do is to check for omissions and make up for vacancies. He can't completely overthrow Li Yi's existing strategy, and he doesn't want to use some flashy things to fool people, but also shows his own vision. This is very difficult.

However, Guo Jia is Guo Jia after all, and after about a cup of tea, he has a draft.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "May I ask Marquis Xiang, how did you gain Dong Zhuo's trust before, no matter offering words or offering advice, or being promoted to a noble position, everything is always going to be unfavorable?"

There was a hint of surprise on Li Yi's face. He didn't expect Guo Jia to say this. How would he answer this question? Could it be that he has good acting skills, thick skin, and dark heart?

Seeing that Li Yi didn't react immediately, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said directly: "There are various reasons for this, but in the final analysis, it is because of Xianghou's background!"

"Original?"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed a clear look, knowing what Guo Jia was referring to.

Just listen to Guo Jia continued: "Although the Marquis Xiang had great ambitions at that time, his body was like a rootless duckweed. Dong Zhuo saw that Marquis Xiang was talented, so he recruited him immediately. He also saw that Marquis Xiang had no family interests, so he accepted him as a high-ranking official with a generous salary. The heart of the Marquis of Xiang, according to common sense, if you want to live a rich life as a Marquis of Xiang, you can only attach yourself to Dong Zhuo's wings, and both will be prosperous and the other will be damaged."

"At the moment before Xianghou killed Dong Zhuo, no one in the world thought that Xianghou would kill Dong Zhuo. However, Xianghou has great courage and great means. Only by doing the opposite can he get the great credit."

Guo Jia spoke eloquently, as if he was addicted, and stopped asking Li Yi, and continued directly: "Now that Marquis Xiang wants to take Jingzhou, in Jia's view, it is exactly the same as killing Dong Zhuo."

"Giving up the right to appoint officials from various counties in Nanyang, and living alone in Xiangyang at the risk of personal injury, is to let Liu Biao put down his guard against the Marquis of Xiang like Dong Zhuo, and then secretly accumulate strength, win over aristocratic families, train elite soldiers, and wait for the time to come. , Like the loyal army entering Chang'an, Liu Biao will be killed with one blow."

Li Yi couldn't help but nodded. If Guo Jia hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have noticed that he was using a routine.

But Li Yi thought for a while and asked, "Feng Xiao said so, but why do you think this strategy is wrong?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "If the Marquis of Xiang only takes Jingzhou, to be exact, only the three counties in Jingbei, it is naturally feasible, but if the Marquis of Xiang wants to take the whole of Jingzhou, it will be even difficult."

Li Yi's brows gradually frowned, and he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Please also teach me Fengxiao!"

Guo Jia bowed slightly, as a return of the gift, and then said: "Jia Yu heard on the way that Yuan Shu wanted to form an alliance with the Marquis Xiang. I wonder if it is true?"

Li Yidao: "This is Ji Ling's plan for the two tigers to compete for food. They want Yi to fight Liu Biao, and then Yuan Shuhao can reap the benefits."

After all, Li Yi paused for a moment and said: "In my opinion, although this plan should come from Ji Ling, Yuan Shu didn't know about it, but Ji Ling dared to act like this, which also shows Yuan Shu's attitude, so Yi thinks that in the future It is not a bad idea to form an alliance with Yuan Shu."

This is an optional strategy that has appeared in Li Yi's mind for a long time. With Yuan Shu's talent, as long as Li Yi wins Jingzhou, he will not be afraid of Yuan Shu's attack. Moreover, rather than fighting with Yuan Shu, it is better to form an alliance and rely on each other.

As for whether Yuan Shu would become emperor without the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, Li Yi didn't care. Stabbing a knife in the back was not too convenient for the so-called allies.

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, "If Marquis Xiang takes Liu Biao to replace him, the alliance with Yuan Shu will definitely fail!"

"Why?"

"hehe"

Guo Jia laughed, and said meaningfully: "The Marquis of Xiang killed Dong Zhuo in vain, and achieved the position of prefect, but in just half a year, what he did has already attracted the attention of the world's heroes. If Marquis Xiang replaces Liu Biao with another year , even if you don’t count the four counties in Jingnan, except for Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Yan of Yizhou in this world, which vassal’s population can compare with Xianghou’s?”

"Liu Yan, a clan member of the Han family, the queen of King Lu Gong!"

"Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family, the Yuan family's descendants and old officials are all over the world!"

"The strength of these two people has accumulated over the years, and they acted according to the trend. Looking at the other princes, it is similar. Only Xianghou rose from the bottom of the world, and the situation is irresistible. How does this make the princes of the world feel?"

"The so-called alliance means that the two are of equal strength, and the weak and weak unite to oppose the strong. This is the alliance. If one is a cub and the other is a rabbit, how to form an alliance?"

Li Yi listened, his face gradually turned pale, and he knew what his problem was.

Guo Jia continued: "If the Marquis of Xiang takes Liu Biao as his replacement, it will not be difficult to stabilize the three counties in Jingbei, but the four counties in the south did not accept Liu Biao before, and most likely they will not accept Marquis Xiang in the future!"

"Besides, Liu Biao is gentle. As long as the southern four counties of Jingzhou are willing to take him as the main force in name, Liu Biao won't be too harsh. Everyone can muddle along, but the Marquis Xiang is not willing to do so. Once he has Jingbei, he will win over the Jingnan four. The county is also imperative."

"The prefects of the four counties are terrified. If they want to resist Xianghou's soldiers, the first choice is to use external force!"

"However, the Marquis Xiang used thunderous means to win Jingbei first, and then plot Jingnan. Yuan Shu must be terrified, and the collusion between the two is also inevitable. With the prestige of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu only needs a letter to set things right for Jingzhou in the name of the imperial court. Using the land in the next few counties as bait, we have attracted two or three troops from the Central Plains, plus Yuan Shu's headquarters, and Jingnan troops, we have an army of 20 to coerce Jingzhou."

"Even, as long as Yuan Shu is willing, it is not difficult to attract Yizhou soldiers and horses to the east. If this is the case, the Marquis of Xiang will be in danger."

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Li Yi felt his back go cold. He had always been proud of his plan to take Jingzhou, but he didn't want to hide such murderous intentions outside Jingzhou!

Li Yi squeezed the center of his brows hard to calm himself down, then looked at Guo Jia and sighed: "Fortunately, there is Feng Xiao, otherwise Li would not know that he dug his own grave!"

Guo Jiashicai's words had already proved himself a little bit, now he looked very humble, bowed his head and said: "Xianghou's words are serious, Jia's point is speculation, it may not come true, and with the wisdom of Xianghou, even if there is no Jia, you should have noticed it before the crisis, so how can you really fall into a situation where you are surrounded by enemies?"

Li Yi smiled, and after suppressing the initial tension in his heart, he also thought of this.

The strategy of attacking Jingzhou was formulated jointly by Li Yi and Jia Xu. However, due to various information limitations at the time, they only set a general direction, and there are still many details that need to be added slowly. As for the problem Guo Jia said, even if Li Yi Neglected, Jia Xu will be able to find out in the future.
