Xi Zhicai insisted that Gongsun Zan would conquer the state and occupy Jizhou, but he could not imagine the method and method. Once Gongsun Zan declared war on Han Fu, even if it was just a tentative attack, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu would jump like a rabbit and attack Han Fu ruthlessly. There is no doubt that he will bite Gongsun Zan hard.
What's more, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan Shao family had deep roots in the court, and his relationship with Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was close or distant. Once he decided to win over Liu Yu in the name of righteousness, it would be hard to fault him. What's wrong.
"Just from the perspective of interests, I have nothing to say. After all, Gongsun Zan now has a solid rear area. Jizhou and Bingzhou are already in danger under him. But if this is not done well, it will lead to chaos in the world. , the whole north will become one, I think neither Gongsun Zan himself nor the experts behind him can't fail to see this." Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
"No matter what you say, I won this time. I believe we will soon receive the news that Bingzhou was occupied by Gongsun Zan." Xi Zhicai's expression suddenly became relaxed and he smiled.
"Hey, it's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing fast." Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly, then feigned anger and glanced at Xi Zhicai: "I know you are thinking about my two jars of good wine, give it to you, drink!"
After saying that, Guo Jia got up and went to his bedside, took out two small jars of wine and placed them in front of Xi Zhicai.
"Haha, in the past, you, Guo Fengxiao, have never lost when I added some bonuses, but you have always scavenged for good things from me. Today is a rare chance for me to win against you. Why, I can't bear to part with you?" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"Tell me, is this world going to be in chaos?" Guo Jia poured a bowl of wine for himself and the other party, put away his playful expression, and said in a deep voice.
"Dong Zhuo is now in control of the imperial court, and the princes from all walks of life listen to the instructions but not the propaganda. He has obviously become alienated from the imperial court. In my opinion, although there is no chaos, it is not far away." Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia clinked their bowls together and drank the whole drink.
"Then Mr. Yuan went straight to Qingzhou after leaving Luoyang. Now he has recruited troops in Bohai County. He is ready to make a move. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is going to raise an army to fight against the thieves. But he doesn't know what will happen if he only has one army. We can break into Luoyang City." Guo Jia sighed.
"Uh-huh?"
Xi Zhicai's first "hmm" was intended to be in agreement with Guo Jia's words, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, so the ending sound lengthened and rose, turning it into a question word.
"Fengxiao, think about it, if you were Yuan Benchu, what would you do?" Xi Zhicai asked in a deep voice.
"If I were Yuan Benchu..." Guo Jia thought about it without any effort, and instantly understood what Xi Zhicai's doubts were.
"You mean, Yuan Benchu will invite all the heroes from all over the world to fight against thieves together?" Guo Jia said.
"Yes, as long as he raises his voice with his status as the fourth generation and the third prince, I believe that many people will respond, or use this to seek their own interests, or sincerely help the Han Dynasty. This is a good opportunity that cannot be missed." Xi Zhicai said.
"I feel that the scope of the world is a bit exaggerated. Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Yan from Yizhou will definitely not participate in such an alliance. After all, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the round trip is too long." Guo Jia said.
"Then let's not talk about Jingzhou, Yizhou and Yangzhou for the moment, and just look in the northeast. If Yuan Shao really raises his arms and shouts, how many powerful states and counties will respond?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"I feel that there will be no more than ten at most." Guo Jia said slowly.
"I think so too." Xi Zhicai nodded, then sighed and said: "The Xiliang army has strong soldiers and horses, but from the looks of it, I'm afraid it's not enough."
"Yuan Shao is not a mediocre person. If no one responds, he will naturally not start a rebellion rashly. We will just wait and see about this matter." Guo Jia said slowly.
"There is something, how about you and I make a bet again?" Xi Zhicai suddenly said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm afraid you're addicted to winning. Why, are you interested in something in my house?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Not really, it's just that I'm leaving soon. The mountains are high and the road is far away. I don't know when I'll see you again, so I'll just keep you in mind." Xi Zhicai said.
"What is Brother Zhicai doing here?" Guo Jia asked in confusion.
"Mr. Wen Ruo invited me to Jizhou to work together for a great cause. This time I say goodbye to you." Xi Zhicai said.
"It turns out that it was Xun Lingjun who summoned me, so Brother Zhicai will definitely have a great journey this time. I would like to congratulate you first." Guo Jia said softly with a happy face.
"Don't talk about that, let's talk about our bet first." Xi Zhicai drank another bowl of wine and said with a smile: "If I win, you come and vote for me. With your talent, you can only be a teacher here. , It’s too humiliating. If you win, after you serve the Ming Lord, I will vote for you, how about it?”
"What if you want me to join Yuan Shao?" Guo Jia asked.
"Why, no?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"Let's talk about it then." Guo Jia shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Okay! It's up to you, tell me what exactly are we betting on?"
"Let's make a bet on whether Ma Teng, the governor of Liangzhou, will participate in Yuan Gong's alliance." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"What do you think?" Guo Jia seemed not surprised by the content of the bet, but asked with a smile.
"In my opinion, Ma Teng is determined not to join the alliance. Firstly, Liangzhou and Yuan Gong are located to the east and west, which is too far apart; secondly, they are separated by Sizhou and Yongzhou. That is the Dong thief's base camp. It is difficult for the enemy to detect the movement of soldiers. If they mobilize with all their troops, they may be overtaken by Li Jue and Guo Si. Thirdly, I don't think Ma Teng is right. If Dong Zhuo has any objections to controlling Chaogang, maybe he is in the same den as Dong, a thief and a snake."
"Hahahaha, it seems that you, Xi Zhi, are destined to join me." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Oh? What do you mean by Feng Xiao?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"I dare to conclude that if Yuan Shao convenes an alliance, Ma Teng, the governor of Liangzhou, will definitely go!" Guo Jia said firmly.
"Why?"
"The secret must not be leaked." Guo Jia slowly drank the wine in the bowl and laughed loudly.
"Okay, let's just wait and see what happens next." Xi Zhicai also said with a smile.
Before they knew it, it was getting dark, and the two of them drank a few more bowls together. They both felt that today's drink was particularly refreshing and enjoyable. Probably because they were about to leave, the two of them lost control of their words and started chatting wildly. , gradually became drunk.
"Wait a minute, if we follow the logic you mentioned, then Han Fu will definitely join the alliance against thieves, right?" Guo Jia asked.
"Of course." Xi Zhicai nodded.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Guo Jia shook his dizzy head and said four wrong words in a row.
"What's wrong?" Xi Zhicai's eyes were a little confused and he asked vaguely.
"I know!" Guo Jia slapped his forehead and suddenly woke up.
"What do you know?!" Xi Zhicai was startled, and Jiu Jin was also frightened to wake up.
"That's it, that's it. The master behind Gongsun Zan turned out to have this plan." Guo Jia suddenly realized and said: "Brother Zhicai, think about it, if you were Gongsun Zan, would you join the Yuan Guild Alliance? ?”
"Will...right?" The two of them had just had a thorough conversation. It was almost certain that Gongsun Zan would join the alliance. Why did Guo Jia ask this question again?
"If he joins the alliance, do you think he will take this opportunity to do something to Han Fu?" Guo Jia followed up and asked.
Xi Zhicai was also a very smart man. Naturally, he immediately understood what Guo Jia meant. He sighed and said: "That master is really tall. I didn't expect that even Mr. Yuan has been included in this alliance. If it is true according to the As you said, Gongsun Zan's power to annex two states and dominate the world is almost unstoppable."
"The next ones are Qingzhou and Yanzhou. If we go east and capture Xuzhou, half of the country will be in his hands." Guo Jia continued.
"Even if he doesn't care about the world, as long as he sits in You, Bing, and Jizhou, comforts the local soldiers and civilians, and recuperates, then everyone in the world can go there. No one in the world will dare to touch his edge." Xi Zhicai continued.
After saying this, the two of them fell into silence for a while, not knowing how to speak.
"This person's plans are very big, but you and I should think a little narrowly." Xi Zhicai drank two more bowls of wine before saying with a wry smile.
"I don't know who he is who has such courage. I must meet this dear friend and have a long talk. I yearn for him, I yearn for him!" Guo Jia sighed.
The man they mentioned was the man who took advantage of the darkness and immediately unlocked the city gate, following the last wave of people entering the city and sneaking into the city.
"These buildings in Yangdi are quite ancient, not bad, not bad." This man muttered in a low voice, like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.
The architecture here is different from other cities. Some of the pre-Qin style can be clearly seen, but Qi Zhen cannot describe this style. He only vaguely remembers seeing it before when watching a movie.
These buildings exude their own historical atmosphere under the sunset, and Qi Zhen really feels a little excited when looking at them.
He had planned to enter the city at ten o'clock today, and after everyone fell asleep, he was looking for Guo Jia.
Therefore, no matter from her demeanor or steps, it was not possible to see that Qi Zhen was in any hurry.
Nonsense, I came early and I haven’t slept yet, so why don’t I just wait when I come?
Qi Zhen thought to herself that her ability to enter dreams could be used in broad daylight. She felt that she would become a nocturnal animal for the rest of her life, which was really unpleasant.
He randomly found a tavern and went in, ordered some wine and meat and ate and drank. Along the way, he asked the waiter if he knew who Guo Jia was. After getting a negative answer, Qi Zhen was no longer anxious. It seemed that Guo Jia was in Yang. Zhai is indeed an unknown little person.
