Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Guo Jia's words left Zhou Yu speechless for a moment. The reason why he dared to kill Guo Jia was that Liu Yu was not talented enough, and killing Guo Jia would be equivalent to cutting off one of Liu Huangshu's arms.

Even if Emperor Liu Bei used his troops to attack Jiangdong, without a wise man to give advice, the threat of the attack would be greatly reduced.

Jiangdong has dangerous rivers and solid mountains and rivers. As long as we are good at taking advantage of the situation, there will always be a chance to defeat him.

But if Liu Bei is also extremely intelligent, the situation would be hard to predict.

Even if Guo Jia was killed, it would still not be able to stop Uncle Liu from coming up with all kinds of schemes. By then, Jiangdong would certainly be unable to cope with it.

Although he knew that this plan could no longer be implemented, Zhou Yu was still unwilling to lose at the very beginning of the fight.

"It took three months to conquer Jiangdong. Fengxiao is so arrogant. Yuan Shao is eyeing Jizhou covetously in front, and Liu Biao is plotting in Jingzhou behind. Does Emperor Liu really dare to use military force against Jiangdong regardless of the consequences?"

"We have wiped out Yuan Shao's elite troops. Yuan Shao retreated to Yecheng, but he still had a breath of life in his heart.

In the next period of time, various forces in the four northern states will rise up and attack Yuan Shao's regime.

It was very difficult for Yuan Shao to pacify these within three months, so how could he have the ability to threaten Luoyang?

As for Liu Biao, he will not take any action. He is complacent and has no ambition to make progress. As long as my lord swears an oath with the mountains and rivers to let him rule Jingzhou forever and his descendants will inherit the throne, he will not only be happy to see it happen, but may even send troops to help.

After all, if we pacify Jiangdong, we will also clear an enemy for him, so why wouldn’t Liu Biao do the same?”

Although Zhou Yu still had a doubtful look on his face, he had already agreed in his heart that if Yuan Shao could not spare troops, and Emperor Liu made another promise to Liu Biao, Liu Biao would most likely stand aside and watch, and Jiangdong would face Emperor Liu's wrath alone.

If the situation really comes to that, Jiangdong will be in danger!

"Feng Xiao is really good at calculating. After all the calculations, it seems that Uncle Liu has decided to take over Jiangdong?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "With Gongjin's wisdom, how could he not see that cooperating with my lord is the best outcome for Jiangdong."

"It is indeed beneficial now, but it will cause harm in the future."

Guo Jia said slowly: "Though it is said that those who do not plan for eternity should not plan for the present, who can predict what will happen in the future? When the day comes when we meet in battle, we can only compete on the battlefield."

Guo Jia said this very frankly.

Zhou Yu laughed, his eyes full of amusement. He slowly said, "What a great opportunity to compete on the battlefield. It's so satisfying. It's a blessing to be able to compete with Feng Xiao on the battlefield. Unfortunately, I have another choice."

After saying this, he turned around, looked at a shadow and asked: "You heard what I just said. Go back and tell Liu Biao that Jiangdong only wants peace and stability now, and has no intention of provoking disputes."

A middle-aged scholar walked out from the shadows, bowed and said, "I heard it clearly. General, rest assured, I will report the truth to my lord Liu Jingzhou when I return."

Guo Jia thought he had a sure win, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to pull out a trick to cut off his support.

"Gongjin is very resourceful. Liu Biao has learned of my plan. No matter what I do, I can't convince him that Jiangdong is going to send troops to attack Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "Although Fengxiao is good at planning, for Jiangdong, the best outcome now is to stabilize the political situation and avoid disputes. I believe Fengxiao can understand this."

Guo Jia regained his calm expression and said calmly, "In such a chaotic situation, it is impossible not to get involved in disputes."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he covered his chest and suddenly started coughing violently.

The heart-wrenching cough filled the entire space, seeming to tear everything apart.

Guo Jia's face turned red and he looked very uncomfortable.

Zhou Yu also knew about Guo Jia's illness, but he did not expect that his illness was so serious.

He took a step forward and was about to ask about Guo Jia's condition.

The coughing stopped abruptly, and two words came out clearly from Guo Jia's mouth.

"Do it!"

Zhao Yun, who had been standing in the same place, moved. He rose into the air and drew out his sword in mid-air. The sword light flashed and emitted dazzling light.

Zhou Yu initially thought that Zhao Yun’s target was him, but he instantly realized that his target was not him, but Liu Biao’s envoy.

"Go back!"

As Zhou Yu finished speaking, Zhao Yun stabbed the messenger's chest with a long sword.

Blood flowed down the wound quickly and fell on the bluestone paved road, like spring rain, dripping. This sound fell into Zhou Yu's ears, but it was like a heavy drum hitting the ground, which was very tormenting.

All of them had been in the army for a long time, so they could naturally see that the messenger's face was purple and there was no hope of saving him.

After a brief moment of anger, Zhou Yu quickly calmed down.

He deliberately let the envoy eavesdrop on the situation in order to foil Guo Jia's plan.

Guo Jia pretended to cough to attract his attention.

Then Zhao Yun took advantage of his distraction and suddenly killed the man.

The two of them cooperated perfectly without any flaws.

Although he did not expect the situation to change like this.

But we have to admit that Guo Jia's decisiveness and Zhao Yun's courage are both very admirable.

If I were in a different place from him, although I would also want to kill the envoy and force him to surrender, I would not be so decisive.

"General Zhao's sword not only killed Liu Biao's envoy, but also eliminated another option for Jiangdong. It seems that there is only one way for Jiangdong, which is to cooperate with Emperor Liu."

"In troubled times, you are either on the left or the right. How can you sit still and watch success or failure?"

Zhou Yu sighed, sat on the couch, and said calmly: "Well, since it is a cooperation, we naturally have to discuss the bargaining chips for cooperation. Feng Xiao must be aware of the current situation in Jiangdong. It is impossible to send troops to Jingzhou. At most, it is just a feint.

But if Liu Biao really wants to send troops to attack Jiangdong, Jiangdong will have a hard time dealing with it. How did Emperor Liu arrange this?"

Seeing Zhou Yu regain his composure in an instant, Guo Jia couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

This person is extremely intelligent and calm in the face of difficulties. He is indeed a formidable opponent.

"Jiangdong is safe, Gongjin, don't worry. My lord, Uncle Liu, has already made arrangements for this matter. He will leave an army in Runan. Once Liu Biao dares to send troops to Jiangdong, this army will directly attack Xinye. We all know Liu Biao. He definitely doesn't dare to fight against our two families at the same time."

Zhou Yu nodded, agreeing with this matter.

"My lord's title, what does Uncle Liu say?"

Guo Jia took out an imperial edict from somewhere and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu opened it and quickly identified the key words.

General Suppressing Enemy, Governor of Kuaiji, in charge of Yangzhou affairs.

Although the General of Suppressing Enemies was a general of a miscellaneous title, the Governor of Kuaiji was a person of real power. The latter sentence, "he was in charge of the affairs of Yangzhou," showed his sincerity.
