But after Guo Jia got Hou Cheng's confession, he was really surprised and happy.
For no other reason than because what Hou Cheng confessed was very different from what Wei Xu confessed. That Wei Xu acted under the banner of Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan at the beginning, so
Even after becoming Zhang Yan's insider, Wei Xu did not dare to tell Zhang Yan that he was actually Lu Bu's retainer, for fear that Zhang Yan would look down on him, think he was useless, and kill him. And this Hou Cheng
But Guo Jiade didn't have such worries, and because Guo Jiade was so frightened, he really had to say whatever he wanted without any reservation at all.
So when Guo Jiacai got the confession, he was first shocked by Lu Bu's boldness, and then he was happy that all the people in Bingzhou had different plans. At that moment, Guo Jia handed the confession to Liu Ming
.But Liu Ming didn't look at it. As soon as he looked at it, he was immediately taken aback by the word "Lü Bu".
Although Liu Ming knows very little about the historical knowledge and historical celebrities of the Three Kingdoms era, it can even be said to be pitiful, and most of them were originally learned by Liu Ming from his own side in the modern era.
Those few friends learned about it when they were fooling around. But who wouldn't know Lu Bu's name? At least among those who fooled around the Three Kingdoms, there are very few people who don't mention the saying "Red rabbit among horses, Lu Bu among men"
Especially at this time, Liu Ming has already integrated into this era and will personally face the pressure from the invincible general Lu Bu. Can Liu Ming not be frightened?
To say that Liu Ming can truly integrate into this era, it is because of the deep brotherhood he developed through his long-term interactions with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei after he came to this era, as well as the deep brotherhood he had with Yang Jun and Guo Jia.
After learning a lot of knowledge about this era, and personally experiencing the entire journey from having nothing to owning Huxiao Villa, and now the dominating governor of Youzhou, a high-ranking official like Lord Taiwei, one of the three princes.
, can be integrated in. Although Liu Ming still doesn’t know how the future history will develop. Especially after having his own influence, how that history will develop. But Liu Ming has a clear understanding
Realize that these things in front of you are real, and they are precious things that you must never lose. And the legendary Lu Bu is a peerless general who is as powerful as his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two invincible generals. That
Isn't this a joke? But didn't this guy say he was Dong Zhuo's subordinate? Why now he has started to recruit troops again and plotted against me, Youzhou? Oh! By the way. It seems that Lu Bu is still called
The 'Three Surnamed House Slave' seemed to have been with someone else before he was with Dong Zhuo. Could it be that he happened to be with Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou? What should we do?
After Guo Jia handed the report to Liu Ming, he saw that the face of the master Liu Ming was uncertain. Guo Jia secretly wondered: Is there some information hidden in this report that is detrimental to our Youzhou? I
Why didn't you see it? The generals in Bingzhou had different ambitions, and it was a good thing to defeat each one. Could it be that he was not thinking carefully and had no strategy? What else could he forget? The more Guo Jia secretly suspected, the more he felt
My lord was unfathomable and I didn't dare to interrupt my lord's train of thought. I silently waited for my lord to study everything thoroughly and then give me a clear explanation.
At this moment, Liu Ming suddenly thought: Wasn't Lu Bu bought by Dong Zhuo with a lot of money? And in this era, who else can be richer than himself? Anyway, he has never heard anyone say it. Moreover, Yang Jun and the others
Didn't he often say that he was as rich as the country? Since Lu Bu was a greedy man, then I didn't care what he did. If Lu Bu really did something detrimental to me, I would use money to knock him out.
, it will be done.
After Liu Ming let go of his worries, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Hey, that's right. Just do it."
Guo Jia had been suspicious for a long time, and when he heard what Liu Ming said, he was even more confused. However, Guo Jia also knew that his lord must have figured something out this time. At that moment, Guo Jia stood for his lord Liu Ming.
Ming was happy and congratulated carefully: "Congratulations, my lord. Congratulations, my lord. My lord is indeed a master of clever calculations. He strategized and won a victory thousands of miles away. I just ask your lord to forgive Jia's stupidity. My lord, can you explain it to Jia? We are
What's right? What should we do? Can you tell me so that Jiaye can come and review the details, and what on earth were you worried about just now? My lord, please don't laugh. Jia Shicai didn't find anything based on that confession.
This information can cause some serious disadvantages to our Youzhou. I just feel that this is a good news for our Youzhou. Jia sincerely asks the lord to point out Jia's stupidity."
Liu Ming was a little embarrassed by what Guo Jia said. In fact, he didn't see anything in the report just now. He just saw the word Lu Bu and was frightened by Lu Bu's reputation. But these thoughts he had just now,
I haven't been able to tell Guo Jia yet, not to mention that this involves my own affairs from modern times. Although Guo Jia has always regarded himself as the eldest brother and thought that he was omnipotent and omniscient, but
It is not often that he can be praised and consulted by Guo Jia, and it is even rarer for him to find anything that Guo Jia, a ghost, cannot guess. This is a rare opportunity, and the vanity secretly surging in Liu Ming's heart prevents him from doing so.
He told Guo Jia the truth. He said to Guo Jia in a hurry: "Fengxiao, let me give you some advice. It's not that difficult. Please tell me first, what do you understand from this confession?"
Guo Jia said respectfully: "My lord, Jia only saw in that report that Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, showed signs of being sidelined. And Lu Bu, who had the power of the army and horses in Bingzhou, was very ambitious. He appointed private individuals.
, I will give the order privately. It seems that I have disobedience. We may be able to use this to arouse suspicion between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, and then trigger turmoil in Bingzhou. We can also profit from the chaos."
Liu Ming secretly admired Guo Jia's keen insight. At the same time, he made up a random statement: "In that case, Feng Xiao, do you think how Ding Yuan would react if he knew about Lu Bu's ambition?"
Guo Jia replied without thinking: "There are only two reactions. One is that Ding Yuan also has a disloyal heart and agrees with Lu Bu's behavior. The other is that Ding Yuan is loyal to the court and cannot agree with Lu Bu's behavior. Don't care about Ding.
What kind of mental reaction is it? There will inevitably be disputes between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu. If Ding Yuan also has a disloyal heart, even if he agrees with Lu Bu's point of view, he will never allow Lu Bu to be disloyal to him.
Secretly growing bigger. And if Na Ding Yuan was loyal to the court, he would not tolerate traitors and traitors who acted privately. Therefore, when Ding Yuan learned about what Lu Bu had done, a dispute arose between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, then
It’s inevitable.”
Liu Ming continued to ask: "After the dispute between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, who has a better chance of winning? And what benefits will their dispute bring to us in Youzhou?"
This time, Guo Jia thought for a moment and said: "After the conflict between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, the governor Ding Yuan should have a better chance of winning. One is that although Lu Bu has the power of the army and horses in Bingzhou, his power
But it was a grant from Ding Yuan, and the soldiers newly recruited by Lu Bu had not been trained yet and would not be of much use. Under the suppression of the governor Ding Yuan in the name of the court's righteousness, there should be no soldiers who could help Lu Bu.
, and even if Lu Bu can finally settle Ding Yuan, Lu Bu's ambition will be exposed, and the court will never let Lu Bu go. Therefore, Lu Bu's fate can be imagined. And after the turmoil in Bingzhou, the court will only be exposed.
The prestige among the people has declined even more, and during this turmoil in Youzhou, apart from some opportunities to fish in troubled waters, the actual benefits may not be much. On the contrary, our Youzhou will circulate outward.
Our products will be affected by the turmoil in Bingzhou." At this point, Guo Jia suddenly had an idea and said loudly: "Oh! I understand. My lord is really wise."
In fact, Liu Ming had long been impressed by Guo Jia's ability to say so much. He was just holding on to the scene for his own vanity. Now Liu Ming understood when Guo Jia shouted, but he still couldn't
The lake was painted. But at this time, the kung fu developed by Liu Ming and Yang Jun when they were chatting together could be seen. Liu Ming remained calm, with a smile on his face, pretending to be a teachable child, and said to Guo Jia
: "That's right. That's right. Fengxiao is indeed very smart, and he has understood the secret so quickly. Please tell me. Let me see how far you have understood it."
Guo Jia did not doubt that he was there, and respectfully said to Liu Ming: "Jia is just a little smart. Nothing can compare with your great wisdom, my lord. You have anticipated the changes in the future from the beginning. This time Jia also
It can be said that I have gained some enlightenment, and it can be said that I have benefited a lot. In Jia's humble opinion, the current situation in the world, no matter what the turmoil is in various places, as long as no one can directly challenge the majesty of the imperial court, no matter how great he is
These actions will eventually be wiped out by counter-rebellion troops sent from other places. It is like a fight between tigers and wolves, but the court is sitting on its benefits. Therefore, the turmoil in Bingzhou does not have any substantial benefits for us in Youzhou.
Not big, but it is possible that the court will send the lord to quell the chaos, and then let the lord sit in charge and merge the state. However, the rich land created by the lord's governance may be sent by someone else to manage it. Then we have
Maybe we will marry someone else. And even if we resist the imperial court and personally challenge the imperial court's majesty, causing the imperial court's majesty to be completely lost. But in that case, we will become the enemies of the world and become the princes of the world.
The goal of a common crusade is also very detrimental to us. If we are a state in one state and we can compete with the whole world, there will never be any chance of success. And because we are unknown, the officials in Youzhou do not know that we will succeed.
How many people have come to follow us? We are now in danger in Youzhou." The more Guo Jia analyzed, the more frightened he became. At the same time, he also admired Liu Ming's foresight even more.
Guo Jia took a breath and looked at Liu Ming, only to see that Liu Ming was still encouraging him with a smile, without any worries or questions. Guo Jia felt relieved to some extent. Guo Jia thought to himself:
Since the lord has already predicted this moment and figured out how to deal with it, he doesn't have to worry too much and can speak freely, which is just a good time to train himself. So Guo Jia continued: "Although the situation is critical now, since we have already calculated
If the situation changes and develops, we can also come up with countermeasures. Jia has two strategies, and he is daring to show his shame. Jia believes that at this time, the lord should form alliances with various governors to serve as party members, expand his power, and make friends with courtiers internally.
, as a helping hand. However, when we made friends with the governors from various places, we were no better than the pre-Qin Dynasty, and we could not follow the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking closely. If we want to do the opposite, we should first make friends with Bingzhou and Jizhou around our Youzhou based on our interests.
, the governors of the three places in Qingzhou, and those local powerful figures. However, this matter needs to be kept secret and cannot be rushed. We must slowly get close to each other. When making friends with courtiers, it is best for us to make a powerful figure in the court
, he came out by himself, stood up for us, and committed the crime of disrespect. And this person has a bad opinion. It should be the general He Jin. The general He Jin was originally a butcher, and he relied on his
Empress Mei He has achieved the status she has today. She doesn’t have much talent herself, but she also loves great achievements, doesn’t listen to others, and is greedy for wealth and honor. As long as we give you a little inducement, she will be able to act according to our wishes, and according to Master Zongzheng Liu Yu
Regarding the dispute between the two factions, the current emperor still prefers the Prince Association, and Zhang Rang is the faction that supports the Prince Association. We have always had close contacts with Zhang Rang. As long as the lord expresses his attitude and provokes a little bit,
With Zhang Rang's talent, it is not difficult for the current emperor to shake his belief in appointing a crown prince. And that general He Jin will make some unsubordinate moves under our guidance to keep him.
His status. And as long as the general He Jin really does this, then our opportunity has arrived. We can completely eradicate He Jin under the banner of Qingjun side without arousing the resentment of the people in the world. When the time comes, the lord will ascend and shout,
Doesn't the world belong to you, my lord? Even if there are some ambitious elements who are dissatisfied with your rule, they will not join together to deal with the lord. We are fully capable of dividing and conquering them."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he calmed down and waited for his lord Liu Ming to comment on him.
In fact, although Liu Ming has always maintained a smile and calmness on his face, Liu Ming's thoughts have been guided by Guo Jia. When Guo Jia analyzed that if Bingzhou was in turmoil, the court might send himself to quell the chaos, Liu Ming thought of it.
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. When Guo Jia analyzed that various places fought against each other and the imperial court benefited, Liu Ming also thought of the conflict between cranes and clams, and the fishermen benefited. And when Guo Jia analyzed that Youzhou cannot be the first to rebel,
When wiping out the Han Dynasty, Liu Ming even thought of shooting the first bird. The first person will die first. Therefore, when Guo Jia said that Youzhou was in danger, Liu Ming didn't want to ask, but he was too frightened.
, I forgot to ask, the smile on his face was because he kept it like this for a long time, which caused his muscles to become stiff and unable to be corrected. It was not until Guo Jia told him the countermeasures. Liu Ming felt relieved.
, returned to normal. At the same time, I admire Guo Jiade's great wisdom even more. Because judging from the little history of the Three Kingdoms that I know, it seems that the turmoil in the Han Dynasty was instigated by the general He Jin, and the first one to show up
The rebellious Dong Zhuo, even though he had such a great power, was destroyed by the heroes of the world. After that, the heroes of the world became independent and argued endlessly. Thinking of this, Liu Ming felt more relieved. As long as that time comes, he will
If you divide it and eat it, who else is your opponent? It seems that you can really fool the emperor. Now, haven't all Liu Huangshu become his subordinates? So, Liu Ming laughed from the bottom of his heart this time.
"Fengxiao is right. Now we just need to wait for the right time. And all the strategies you mentioned can be carried out secretly. As for Lu Bu's matter now, we don't need to worry about him now. When the right time comes,
We can deal with him. Moreover, Lu Bu is greedy for money and lustful. It is very easy for us to gain. By the way. Fengxiao, what happened to Dong Zhuo and others whom I asked you to pay attention to earlier, as well as Liu Bei under our command?"
When Guo Jia heard that her lord Liu Ming agreed with her thoughts, she was very pleased. She felt that although she was a little more behind-the-scenes than her lord, she could still think of the future development trend. It was not bad. But , when I think about problems in the future, I must make a comprehensive deduction just like today, and be sure to calculate the evolution of every relationship, so that I will not make the same mistake as today again. But the lord suddenly remembered Dong Zhuo and others. What's the point of that Liu Bei? Guo Jia said hesitantly: "I have been ordered by my lord, and I dare not neglect it. Dong Zhuo is not doing well now. He has already mobilized 200,000 troops. Among them, 50,000 are imitations of ours." The Xiliang cavalry was formed with strong cavalry. However, although those Xiliang cavalry can be regarded as an elite force, their armor and weapons are much worse than ours. We have enough strength to defeat them. And Sun Jian is now the governor of Changsha. He also has 30,000 elite soldiers under his command. He is known as the Tigers of Jiangdong. He is very brave and good at fighting, but he is located in the south, so he has no cavalry to use. Moreover, he and Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, have a long-standing enmity. There should be nothing wrong with him. A big development. And Cao Cao has now been transferred to the capital and serves under the general He Jin. Although he may have a bright future, he is suppressed by Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth generation and the third prince, and there is no actual military power below him, so it may be just like this. A busy life. As for Liu Bei who is under our command, apart from bragging about his royal status to everyone he meets, there is nothing special about him. Even his original diligence and love for the people have deteriorated a lot after marrying his wife. He is just a person who is addicted to wine and sex, and he really fails to live up to the respect you place on him, my lord."
