In Chang'an, Liu Zhang was sitting cross-legged in the meeting hall. Guo Jia and Jia Xu were holding a piece of yellow silk, which was clearly an edict from Cao Cao. Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, Xuchang has sent another decree!"
"Huh?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Liu Xie, the little emperor, cares about food but not about fighting. What will he say this time?"
Jia Xu said with a smile: "He ordered the Han Dynasty governors to go to Xudu to report on their duties!"
"Is anyone going? I guess, except Kong Rong, no one will go!" Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Going to Xuchang is like beating a dog with a meat bun?"
"What do you mean?" Guo Jia and Jia Xu were confused.
"Uh..." After scratching his head, Liu Zhang then remembered that in the Han Dynasty, there were still many idioms that had not yet appeared. He smiled awkwardly and said: "What would happen if you beat a dog with a meat bun? Of course.
The dog ate the meat bun! Then there is no return!"
"Uh..." Now it was Jia Xu and Guo Jia's turn to be embarrassed.
"My lord described it very vividly. It turns out that he has gone and never returned!" Jia Xu, an old fox, reacted quickly. He was just stunned for a moment before patting Liu Zhang's horse.
"Okay!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't you want to tell me that someone else is going?"
"There are indeed people going!" Guo Jia took out an intelligence report: "General Zhengxi, Marquis Ma Teng of Huaili is preparing to go to Xu!"
"Ma Shoucheng?" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Is this guy loyal or traitorous? How dare he go even though he knows he is going to die!"
"Ma Teng is neither loyal nor treacherous, he has nothing to do!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "He fought with Han Sui, and Han Sui killed his wife and children. Now he wants to garrison Chiyang, but Chiyang is our army's territory.
How could he be allowed to garrison troops? General Yide sent troops several times, and Ma Teng had no choice but to follow the imperial edict and go to Xudu!"
"Ma Teng's son Ma Chao and his general Pang De seem to be very powerful. Yide didn't suffer, right?" Liu Zhang was presiding over Chang'an affairs recently, so he didn't pay much attention to this small-scale confrontation. Anyway, whether it was Ma Teng or Han Sui,
They can be destroyed easily, so it's not worth interfering with Chang'an's plan for them.
"No, Ma Chao and Pang De suffered a big loss!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "The first time, Yide was almost injured by the joint efforts of Ma Chao and Pang De. The second time, Yide called Zilong over
, it’s Ma Chao and Pang De’s turn to suffer!”
"Promote Ma Chao and Pang De!" Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Now Ma Chao and Pang De are not yet twenty years old, and they actually ask two of my generals to serve them. If they dare to come next time, let Han be promoted!"
"Yes!" Guo Jia responded and said with a smile: "However, Zilong has gotten into a big trouble recently!"
"Huh?" Liu Zhang asked curiously: "Is there anyone in Chang'an who dares to embarrass Zilong?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "There is no way! A little girl pesters Zilong every day and is friends with Zilong's sister Zhao Yu. Recently, Zilong has been helpless by the little girl and has no choice but to hide in the military camp!"
Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Is that girl attracted to Zilong?"
"Exactly!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "That little girl's name is Yunlu..."
"Yunlu? Ma Yunlu!" Liu Zhang said in shock: "She is actually Ma Teng's daughter!"
"Huh?" Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other. Neither of them found out the details of Yun Lu, but Liu Zhang actually knew about it. Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, if this girl's surname is not Ma, her name is Yun Lu!"
"You want to get away without giving your surname when you sign up? She doesn't think that Zilong will betray me if he marries her!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Then Ma Teng will lose his wife and lose his army!"
"That's not true!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "That girl did it entirely because she admired Zilong! Well..."
Speaking of this, Guo Jia was stunned for a moment. If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would definitely not pester her out of admiration. What's more, how could a daughter from an ordinary family know about Zhao Yun's deeds? Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other, and they
People's eyes were full of surprise.
"Come here!" Two guards came in, and Liu Zhang said: "Go and call General Zhao Yun. If there is a girl named Yunlu by his side, call him too!"
After the guard went down, he saw a strange smile on Liu Zhang's lips. Guo Jia asked: "My lord, don't you want to win over General Zilong?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Ma Teng is the descendant of General Ma Yuan of Fubo of Han Dynasty, and he can barely be considered a famous family. His daughter is also considered to be the wife of Zilong! My brothers are not young anymore. I also have several wives and concubines around me, and you, Guo Fengxiao,
, our sons can run away, let alone Mr. Jia. We can’t let our brothers continue to be singles! If there are suitable ones, we should naturally let them get married early and have more children, so that they can inherit our aspirations! As the saying goes
Said: The eldest brother is the father. Since it is the fate of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, I, as the lord and eldest brother, naturally have no shirk of responsibility!"
"What my lord said is true!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, both of them had strange expressions.
"That's right!" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Why did Cao Cao think of asking the governor and governor to go to Xudu to report on their duties?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu and captured Xuzhou. Now his reputation is great, so he is thinking big!"
"Oh! It turns out that Lu Bu is dead!" Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head. He suddenly remembered Diao Chan's charming face. If Diao Chan returned to Lu Bu, wouldn't it be an advantage for Lao Cao? However, Diao Chan is by Liu Zhang's side now.
, naturally he will not suffer that tragic fate again.
"Lord, Lu Bu is not dead!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu really didn't understand why Liu Zhang didn't know what he should know but knew what he shouldn't know!
"What?" Liu Zhang was stunned and asked in shock: "Lü Bu is not dead? Didn't Cao Cao kill him?"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "According to the intelligence, Lu Bu surrendered, and all his forces were taken over by Cao Cao!"
"How dare Cao Cao take Lu Bu in? Didn't Liu Bei fan the flames?" Liu Zhang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. The examples of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo were put there. Isn't Cao Cao afraid of following in his footsteps?
"Liu Bei indeed lit the fire!" Guo Jia pulled out another intelligence report: "A general under Lu Bu's command named Gao Shun seemed to have said something, and with Chen Gong's joint guarantee, Cao Cao spared Lu Bu!"
"Gao Shun? Chen Gong?!" Liu Zhang asked in surprise: "They are not dead either?"
"Except for one named Cao Xing, who blinded Xiahou Dun in one eye and was killed by Xiahou Dun, all the generals under Lu Bu surrendered to Cao Cao!" Jia Xu handed over another piece of information, and Liu Zhang's hands were trembling.
Looking at the information, beads of sweat appeared on Liu Zhang's forehead. Sun Jian was not dead, and he could still say that it was beyond his reach and would not affect the situation. But now, even Lu Bu was not dead, and this history must have changed! All along, Liu Zhang's
Most of the layout relied on his understanding of history. But now that history has changed, Liu Zhang suddenly felt a little confused!
"Lord?" Guo Jia and Jia Xu were a little confused when they saw Liu Zhang's eyes were blank and his face suddenly turned pale. Lu Bu was just a brave man. Even if he hadn't died, Liu Zhang wouldn't be so afraid.
"Ah..." Liu Zhang came back to his senses, and the information in his hand fell to the ground!
"Lord, is there something wrong?" Guo Jia picked up the information on the ground and looked puzzled. He read the information carefully again and found that there was nothing surprising.
"No...no..." Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "This Lu Bu is not dead, and Cao Cao's power has soared. No wonder he dared to issue an order to order all the princes to go to Xuchang to meet him!"
"Don't worry, my lord!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao's power has greatly increased, there is still a big gap compared to our army! Not to mention that General Huang Zhong is not as brave as Lu Bu, but Guan, Zhang,
Which of the three generals Zhao is not a rare general in the world? He is more than enough to deal with Lu Bu! Furthermore, war is not just about bravery. Money, food, command, and strategy are all very important! With the lord's wisdom and the bravery of his generals, why be afraid?
Cao Cao?"
Jia Xu also smiled and said: "My lord has another advantage, that is, he knows and employs people! Although I don't understand why my lord sees people so accurately, I have discovered that all the people my lord deliberately makes friends with are the heroes of the world! Zhang Fei,
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are both outstanding military generals, while Zhou Yu and Lu Xun are superior to ordinary people in terms of intelligence and military strategy. Guo Fengxiao was even praised by the lord as a genius. With the help of these heroes, lord, why worry about failing to achieve his great cause?"
Guo Jia thought Liu Zhang was worried about Cao Cao, so he didn't say it to the point. But Jia Xu's words moved Liu Zhang's heart. Indeed, Liu Zhang no longer knew the direction of history, but he knew the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty. Liu Bang was just a green man,
He dominated the world with a group of brothers. Liu Bei was just a crybaby, but he cried all over Shu Han. The only thing they have in common is that they have gathered a lot of talents!
"As long as I can collect all the great talents in the world, and combine it with my knowledge that surpasses the Han Dynasty, why worry about not being able to fulfill my wish?" After hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Zhang suddenly felt heroic in his heart, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
Looking at Guo Jia and Jia Xu standing at the foot of the stairs, Liu Zhang laughed and said, "That's right! I have brothers to help me and a few gentlemen to give me advice, so why should I be afraid of Cao Cao?"
Seeing that Liu Zhang had returned to normal, Guo Jia and Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know why Liu Zhang was afraid of Cao Cao, they could see Cao Cao's potential.
Guo Jia asked: "Lord, do we need to cause some trouble for Cao Cao?"
"This is natural!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Then is Liu Bei still in Xuchang?"
"Yes!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Cao Cao ignored the pleas of the people of Xuzhou and kept his chariot as the governor of Xuzhou, but took Liu Bei back to Xudu!"
Liu Zhang sneered and said: "Write a letter to inform Cao Cao that if Liu Xie recognizes Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, I will immediately send troops to Xudu! Best, let Cao Cao send me Liu Bei's head!"
"Lord, Liu Bei has no power, and you seem to be quite afraid of him?" Liu Bei is a hero, but before he established his foundation, how many people can see that he has a bright future? How wise are Guo Jia and Jia Xu?
, and look down upon this mat weaver and shoe seller who has repeatedly failed in battles!
"Liu Bei is a hidden dragon!" Liu Zhang sighed: "Liu Bei does not have the family background of me and Cao Cao, but he can survive in this troubled world and even occupy a place. This is his ability. Now, he has not met anyone who can help him.
His people, if he can get the help of a scheming counselor like Feng Xiao or Wen He, he will definitely be our formidable enemy. Therefore, he must be eliminated before he can take off!"
