Chapter 589: King Qin

Guo Jia smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord is too rewarded!" He paused, "My lord's idea makes sense. But he might not have thought of another problem." He then asked, "Does lord know why the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed?" Ai Lang said without thinking: "It's not because Zhang Jiao and some idiots are short-sighted!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Zhang Jiao and others can be considered heroes. The reason why they died so quickly is actually related to their identity and experience." Then he clasped his fists and said, "Please put yourself in your shoes. If you are a civilian, would you be willing to accept the rule of Zhang Jiao and others?" Ailang said without thinking, "Of course I don't want to! A few charlatans, unless I am a slut,..." Ailang immediately understood and suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand! These people may be able to incite others to cause trouble, but it is difficult to win the hearts of the people! The princes of all sides, the soldiers in the army will not say anything, but they are afraid that most civilians will definitely not be willing to accept the rule of people like them as long as they have a choice!" After a pause, he thought, "No wonder the Yellow Turban Rebellion was like a storm when it started, but it soon disappeared under the storm of the princes of various places!"

Guo Jia nodded and thought, "The reason why Prime Minister Cao threatened the emperor to order his ministers was actually because of this! To seize the world, strength is only one thing, and in addition, people in the world should see that you are the true emperor who is destined to be. Only in this way can you truly win the hearts of the people, minimize resistance, and maximize unity of your own strength! To do this, supporting the Han is the only way to avoid, because the Han Dynasty is like a big family for everyone. Now that this family has some problems, you have to take the opportunity to overturn the family and start the fire. Most people are dissatisfied with the royal family, but they cannot accept such things emotionally. Only when most people, especially their heroes, are their subordinates.

I felt that the lord had done everything for the Han Dynasty, and felt that the lord's contribution was far more than all the emperors before the Han Dynasty. At the same time, I felt that the Han Dynasty had exhausted its energy and that it was time to redeem the old and new, which was the real time to replace it. Replacing the lord at this time can be said to be the best result for all the people in the world. If you want to conquer the world, you must have countless heroes and figures to assist you. And these heroes will not serve the lord for their own selfish interests. Only by making them feel that following the lord is good for the people of the world is the most correct way. It is precisely because of this that even if the lord is as strong as Dong Zhuo, he will not be independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty until his death! It is precisely because of this that the lord is as strong as he is, he has also received support from many people!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Ailang probably understood. He picked up the imperial edict in front of him and laughed: "If you say so, I should happily accept the emperor's wishes!" Guo Jia smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise!"

Ailang opened the imperial edict and read it again, and smiled and said, "King of Qin! Haha, I didn't expect to be King of Qin in this life! Okay, I like this title very much!"

Guo Jia clasped his fists and said, "Lord, this matter is very beneficial to us. But this enthronement makes me think that the emperor is probably not from good intentions..." Ailang felt strange and asked in confusion: "What does it mean to be filial piety?"

Guo Jia thought, "Qin, as we all know, is the old name of Guanzhong, but now the lord does not own half of the land in Guanzhong. In the current situation, it is more appropriate for the emperor to enthrone the lord as King of Jin. Instead, he enthroned the lord. The intention was to let the lord attack Liu Bei! Now that the lord has the title of King of Qin, it is legitimate to seek the land of Guanzhong, and Liu Bei naturally would not give in, so war is inevitable!"

Ailang was surprised and asked in disbelief: "Was that kid actually playing with me like this?" Then he asked mockingly: "Does he think Liu Bei can deal with me?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Now the strength of the lord has surpassed Cao Pi, and he occupied Luoyang's thousand-year-old city. His military strength is so strong and his reputation is so strong. If you don't think about it today, it is impossible to fight against your lord!" After a pause, he thought, "The reason why the emperor is like this is not to hope that Liu Bei can defeat his lord, but to hope that his lord and Liu Bei will become enemies! Now the lord and Cao Pi can be said to be in a state of power. If the lord goes to fight against Liu Bei, Cao Pi will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to fight against your lord together with Liu Bei. In this way, a situation of Cao Pi and Liu Bei joining forces to deal with your lord. Although the lord is strong now, if you want to fight these two families at the same time, you will be defeated if you are not careful! If you encounter a great defeat, the situation in the world will be very likely to reverse!"

Ailang was shocked, then became annoyed and cursed: "The Emperor, this kid, actually came up with such a trick!"

Guo Jia suddenly smiled, "Actually, the emperor seems to be smart in doing this, but he is just a little clever. In today's situation, Liu Bei and Cao Pi can be said to be the general trend. Why should he do so much?"

Ai Lang looked at Guo Jia foolishly and asked, "What do you mean is that Liu Bei and Cao Pi already have the intention to unite now?" Guo Jia nodded and said, "It is inevitable that big things will happen! Needless to say, Cao Pi, Liu Bei will definitely not want to see his lord continue to grow bigger. Otherwise, it won't take long to be the only way to defeat him!"

Ailang couldn't help frowning and said, "You said that Cao Pi and Liu Bei's alliance are very unfavorable to us. So what should we do? Can we destroy this alliance? Should we do this?" Guo Jia frowned and shook his head, saying, "It's almost impossible to destroy the situation. We don't need to waste our energy on such impossible things. It's better to deal with this situation with all our efforts." Then he clasped his fists and said, "Lord, although our army has made outstanding achievements in this period and occupied a large area of ​​land, its own losses are also very huge, especially in terms of food, grass and supplies! When this situation is, it's better to turn off the offense to defence and shrink the defense line and respond to changes in the same way!"

Ailang nodded thinking and murmured to himself: "What you said makes sense! Although we have occupied a large area of ​​land, we have not obtained much money and grain. Instead, we have to overdraw a large amount of money and grain from warehouses in Xuzhou and other places. Moreover, the newly occupied territory is not stable. Now we should take a defensive position at this time!" Guo Jia clasped his fists happily and said, "My wise!"

Ailang looked at Cai Yong and asked with a smile: "Old Cai, what's wrong with you?"

Cai Yong quickly clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates' affairs are just some private matters, it's really hard to say!" Ailang smiled and said, "What's hard to say about this? Let's talk about it, what's the matter?" Cai Yong responded quickly and said, "Yes, that's it. That, five days later, it's the day when my subordinates are suspense. I want to invite the king to a banquet in the humble house. I wonder if the king has time?"

Ailang smiled without thinking, "This is a good thing! I will definitely go and drink two glasses of birthday wine at that time!" Cai Yong was overjoyed and thanked.

Not long after, Cai Yong and Guo Jia left the General's Mansion together. At the door, Guo Jia smiled and asked Cai Yong: "Grandmaster, as far as I know, your birthday should be November, but how dare you deceive your lord?" Cai Yong was shocked and looked panicked and didn't know what to say to be good.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I'm guessing it, and the Grand Secretary suddenly invited the lord to the banquet. I'm afraid that the drunkard's intention is not in the bar! I guess it's for Miss Cai Yan!" Cai Yong was startled and bowed and said, "Sir, you are such a clever plan! Please don't expose it!" Guo Jia smiled and said, "This is a good thing, so I will naturally not say much!" Cai Yong hurriedly thanked.

Turn your eyes to the palace.

After the emperor returned to the harem after the morning court, Empress Cao Jie immediately caught him and asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on in the morning court today?" The emperor couldn't help but feel sad, and tears rolled down his eyes. Cao Jie was shocked when he saw this. The emperor said sadly: "This thief Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo are all the same things! Standing proudly on the hall, there is no etiquette of the monarch and ministers! In his eyes, I am just a puppet!" After saying that, I couldn't help crying again, looking like a young wife who was very wronged.

Cao Jie frowned and looked calm. He asked, "Did Your Majesty enthrone him as King of Qin according to my advice?"

The emperor nodded, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said with some concern: "I don't know if Lu Bu will be trapped?"

Cao Jie snorted coldly and said, "Lu Bu is a greedy person, and he is a jackal. Even if he doesn't give him an excuse, he will still eat people! Besides, if we give him such a good excuse now, how could he not fight Liu Bei! Just wait for the war, Cao Pi and Liu Bei will surely be united. At that time, even though Lu Bu is strong, he will be defeated and escape!" The emperor nodded, but then couldn't help but sigh.

Cao Jie looked at the emperor and asked in confusion: "Why did Your Majesty sigh again?"

The emperor couldn't help but sigh again and frowned, "I'm just thinking that no one of the princes in the world is truly loyal to me, and they are all for their own selfish interests! Even if Lu Bu is defeated, we are just falling into the hands of another prince. I'm afraid that the current situation will not be changed at all!" Cao Jie couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He wanted to come up with a solution, but suddenly found that there was no army in his hand and there was no way to solve this problem!

A few days later, a 150,000 army led by Zhao Yun and others came to Luoyang one after another. At this point, the officials, civilians and people in Luoyang were completely relieved.

Ai Lang couldn't help feeling strange when he saw that there was no Concubine Dong among the people who came, so he asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, why didn't Concubine Dong come to Luoyang?"
