The Three Kingdoms

"There is nothing more selfish than seeing the world in chaos and opportunities come. What I have learned all my life, I have a place to display. If I can get away with it, I will be honored."

Guo Jia's eyes were a little deep. At the beginning, he followed Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was not the most prosperous prince, he was the prince with the strongest development momentum. Among them, he was recommended by Xi Zhicai.

Most importantly, at that time, he was not optimistic about Jiang Dong.

Ships in the south and horses in the north, Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and it is okay to stick to it, but the attack is not strong enough. But what he didn't expect was that Jiangdong had another way, opened up the sea route, won Liaodong, and received a steady stream of war horses to welcome him. The unstoppable cavalry.

This paragraph can be regarded as one of the reasons why Jiangdong won the world.

"What about your conscience?"

Sun Quan casually placed a sunspot and continued to ask.

"Public heart?"

Guo Jia heard this, and smiled wryly: "Scholars, read the books of sages, imitate the merits of their ancestors, face the misery of the troubled times, and devote themselves wholeheartedly, isn't it just to end the troubled times, make the world peaceful, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment? This is the heart of the Duke! "

Although his Guo family had some achievements in his ancestors, in Guo Jia's generation, his parents died early, his family had no ancestral property, and he was born in poverty.

Born in troubled times, he naturally wanted to end the troubled times and bring the world back to a peaceful and prosperous world.

"It counts!"

Sun Quan's eyes sharpened suddenly, he raised his head, stared into his eyes, and said: "It's just that I'm a little strange. If you have all the people in the world, how could you be so cruel in the first place? A flood destroyed countless people in Runan. Do you know that until now, the land of Runan has not regained its vitality, and your name, Guo Fengxiao, can be hated by the people of Runan day and night!"

"I... can't help myself!"

Guo Jia was stunned for a long time before uttering such a word.

On the battlefield, if you want to win, you have to pay the price.

It's just that Guo Jia paid a heavy price. That flood destroyed too many lives and became an indelible nightmare for him, Guo Jia, who endured the torture of conscience day and night.

"it is good!"

Sun Quan's expression calmed down, and he said indifferently: "You are right, you are indeed involuntary, standing in your position back then, although a bit cruel, but it is a great contribution to Cao Wei, you are in his position Take responsibility, it’s justified, I erased this sum for you, there is no right or wrong in the world’s battle, it’s just a different position!”

He put a sunspot on the most critical position, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and continued: "But look at the world today, the Central Plains is already peaceful, and the people have begun to enter a peaceful life where men farm and women weave. As long as you If you are willing to work hard, this world will enter an unprecedented prosperous age, do you still want to destroy this peace?"

"My lord, I have no such intention!"

When Guo Jia heard this, the hand holding a chess piece trembled.

Following Sun Quan's side, being irrigated by Sun Quan with chicken soup for his soul every day, he found that he seemed to have more and more forgotten the purpose of surrendering.

The most important point, Sun Quan is right, the world is peaceful, what reason does he have to destroy this peace?

He raised his head and looked at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's gaze was burning with a trace, and he did not back down, staring at him firmly.

Although it is silent, everything is in silence.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was suddenly a little cold. In this cold and silent atmosphere, even Xu Shu who was next to him didn't dare to speak out, because he knew that Guo Jia needed to transition his struggling state of mind at this time.

"Your Majesty, Zhang He, Commander of the Guanzhong Legion, seeks an audience outside the imperial study!"

The eunuch Cao Yang hurried in from the outside with small steps, and a sharp voice broke the momentary silence.

"Yuanzhi, Zhang Junyi is a new general. It's his first time coming to Jinling to face the saint. We have to give him the sincerity of Great Wu. You go and welcome him in person!"

Sun Quan let go of his fierce aura, raised a dangerous arc at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly to Xu Shu.

"promise!"

Xu Shu stood up and walked towards the imperial study.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think I should do to Zhang He at this time so that he can be used by my Great Wu." Sun Quan looked at Guo Jia and threw him a difficult problem.

"Suppress his merits, accept his heart, and help both grace and power!"

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but some imprints in his heart had been burned down, and the balance of struggling seemed to be tilting in one direction.

"Benefits and strengths?"

Sun Quan heard the words and smiled slightly: "Zhang Junyi is a good general. If he is used well, I will gain an arm. If he is not used well, he will be a double-edged sword. He will hurt himself. I know a little bit about him. Now he has never returned to Great Wu. His surrender is just like yours. It is just a stopgap measure. Do you think I can trust him? You must know that there are 10,000+ soldiers under the Tenth Army. Once there is a change, it will inevitably be a war Even if the catastrophe subsides, the vitality I have just saved will probably be hurt!"

"Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful, who can not be a minister? Lu Fengxian, who was rebellious and rebellious at the beginning, and Zhuge Liang, who was as wise as a monster, are now as different as me. Aren't you also convinced by Your Majesty?" Guo Jia said: "Zhang Yun can't escape His Majesty's palm. , using him will not only make His Majesty a mighty general, but also let His Majesty win the name of a benevolent monarch."

"Okay, I will accept your precious words, I will trust him once!"

Sun Quan smiled. Hearing Guo Jia's words, his somewhat gloomy face eased a lot.

"The last general, Zhang He, pays homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Not long after, Zhang Yun followed Xu Shu in from the outside, stood in front of Sun Quan in two steps, bowed his head and knelt down, saluting loudly.

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be polite!"

Sun Quan stood up from his seat, helped him up himself, pulled his arm enthusiastically, and let him sit beside him: "Come, sit next to me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang He was a little flattered, he couldn't understand Sun Quan's actions, so he subconsciously cast a sideways glance at Guo Jia next to him, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, stood up automatically, stood beside Xu Shu, and then gave him a reassuring smile vaguely, meaning to let him calm down and not worry too much.

"Junyi, can you play chess?"

Sun Quan asked with a smile.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu who were standing next to them felt some black crows flying over their foreheads, and they couldn't help but look at Zhang Xi with pity. Poor child, we can't help you.

"meeting!"

Zhang He was a little puzzled, nodded and said.

"Then let's play a game of chess!"

Sun Quan said enthusiastically: "You can't give in to me just because I'm the emperor, you have to use all your strength to show me your skills. The chess field is like a battlefield, and only when you win can you have the right to speak!"

"Yes!"

Zhang He nodded, sitting opposite the chessboard, with an attitude of going all out.

The chessboard has begun, and a fierce confrontation between black and white begins.

Zhang Xi's style on the battlefield is good at layout, making decisions before making moves, calm and steady, so his chess skills are also good, and soon he beat Sun Quan to pieces.
