Chapter 145

Just when Guo Jiafu was thinking, Jia Xu didn't have so many distractions. After reading the information, he immediately said to Liu Ming: "Lord. I originally planned to wait until we destroy Dong Zhuo before we welcome the emperor to return to court. At that time, with the lord's achievements in saving the emperor, the lord's status as the minister of the regent, and the lord's powerful strength, he could unify the whole country. The lord's benevolent government to save the country and the people. But now, the emperor has been rescued by Wang Yun.

As a result, our achievements in saving the emperor will be gone. If the emperor is still in charge, I am afraid that others will rule over the emperor to order the princes. At that time, your great righteousness will be gone. So we should temporarily release Dong Zhuo’s old subordinates and keep these rebels to restrain the court. And we will also send a quick horse to pick up the emperor to our Youzhou. If the emperor falls into our hands, then we will be where the righteousness is. Please give the lord the order quickly.”

Jia Xu's response was fast enough and his strategy was relatively stable. But for Liu Bin, this suggestion was already a cliché. He had discussed it dozens of times a long time ago. If he really wanted to do that, he would have tried hard to keep Dong Zhuo in Luoyang as early as when he attacked Luoyang, then he would have all. Liu Bin didn't want to be like Cao Cao in history! It is easy to use to control the emperor to command the princes, but there are many disadvantages! Liu Bin has now occupied the title of great righteousness, and whether or not he has a little emperor in his hands is actually not a big impact!

However, the problem now is not the emperor, but Cao Cao. If Cao Cao supported the emperor, then Cao Cao's reputation for justice would have been established. If Cao Cao was also sincere in his work for the court, then he would attack Cao Cao for the sake of unification in the future. Wouldn't that be wrong and dissatisfied? Moreover, even if he didn't want to go back in the future, he could not attack Cao Cao. If he attacked Cao Cao first, he would be charged with a crime of rebellion. It would inevitably lead to the second alliance of princes, but the target of this alliance of princes was not Dong Zhuo, but himself. Without attacking Cao Cao, Cao Cao developed with the reputation of the emperor, which was much more difficult than Dong Zhuo to deal with. This matter was difficult! Therefore, Liu Bin was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was not surprised when he heard Jia Xu's suggestion like this! He just felt that if Xun Yu and Xun You were here, they would probably have said this. But when he was planning to discuss with his lord, he was disgusted with the strategy of governing the emperor to make the princes. After all, there is no airtight wall in this world. Even if the emperor is controlled, it will inevitably leak the news. Moreover, the masters and ministers in the court will have resentment. In this way, while acknowledging the orthodox nature of the Han Dynasty, he also placed himself in the position of a powerful minister.

Even if he is doing his country and the people, he will not be able to escape the reputation of the traitors. However, if he follows the leadership of the little emperor for his reputation for generations, wouldn’t he be busy with his own work? And what can that little emperor do if he has been hostage by Dong Zhuo for many years? Isn’t it a blind leader? If he has a few lives in trouble, wouldn’t the good situation in Youzhou be completely destroyed? Besides, who is the lord? His character is so strong, how can he allow a great god to exist on his head? Therefore, Youzhou cannot take the world to command the princes!

Suddenly, Guo Jia had an idea and came up with an idea. In this situation, the emperor must not ask for it. There is no need to ask for it. However, it would be better to let the emperor fall into Cao Cao's hands. That would make the emperor and all the civil and military ministers in the court fall into Cao Cao's hands. Cao Cao's reputation and power of affairs would be even greater, which would be too unfavorable to the lord's future unification cause. It would be better to take the opportunity to welcome the emperor and secretly send someone to kill the emperor. By then, the lord has the bloodline of the Han clan relatives. It would be natural to profess to be emperor. And the lord's ideals and ideas of his own people who have become emperors and cannot be realized justly?

At this time, Guo Jia also saw the gaze of the lord Liu Bin looking at him. Guo Jia quickly suggested to Liu Bin: "My lord Wenhe is right. Although we did not rescue the lord from Dong Zhuo in time because of the rebellion of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, this also prevented us from becoming the target of public criticism. Now, it is very easy for us to welcome the lord. Moreover, if the lord is now at the hands of other traitors, the lord will not say that the lord is frightened.

It is easy to cause discomfort in the court orders and confuse the holy orders. The impact on us is not small. Therefore, we should arrange a powerful team as soon as possible. We should welcome the emperor. As for the remnants of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is dead, and they cannot become a climate. We can temporarily slow it down. Moreover, our government is short of hands now. Even if we conquer Xiliang, we will not be able to manage it. Instead of destroying the reputation of the lord, it is better to let Dong Zhuo go first and stop talking about it."

Guo Jia thought to himself: I should recite the insult of killing the emperor by myself. Don’t let the lord know. If this is on the surface, the lord will not be able to speak. The fewer people know this kind of dirty work, the better. Anyway, even if he doesn’t say it, the intelligence personnel under his command will report it to the lord. As long as the lord doesn’t stop it, it will be considered as the lord’s agreement. After hearing Guo Jia’s suggestions, Liu Bin also found it strange. This casual style of eloquence is not like what Guo Jia said. Moreover, Jia Xu was later, and he didn’t know that our original decision was understandable. But Guo Jia should not forget the original decision not to welcome the lord!

However, Liu Bin still affirmed one thing. That is, Guo Jia and Jia Xu both agreed to let Dong Zhuo go for the time being, and keep Dong Zhuo's talent and not restrain the future court's intention. For Liu Bin, this plan is extremely correct. Especially at this time, as Guo Jia said, the grassroots officials in Youzhou were already short of arrangements in Bingzhou and Liaodong. After taking over Jizhou, they could only use some local officials in Jizhou first. The hidden dangers here are too great. Especially with Guan Hai's return, Qingzhou will also be included in its jurisdiction soon. If this foundation is not solid, it is a big problem. Yuan Shao's lessons must be taken!

Therefore, Liu Bin also agreed to the plan to temporarily let Dong Zhuo go to Youzhou. Although he got rid of the hidden dangers that Cao Cao might bring after he got the emperor, it also brought trouble to Youzhou. This interest is difficult to judge. Liu Bin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It is not impossible to let Dong Zhuo go to the remaining troops. Anyway, Dong Zhuo is dead now, and the current territory of the Western Liang Army and their economic strength will not be able to develop to this scale. After we cultivate and rejuvenate, we can destroy them at any time. However, you all agree to welcome the emperor to our Youzhou. But I don’t know what kind of welcome method you are thinking about? Who are you going to send?"

This time, before Jia Xu could speak, Guo Jia took the lead. Guo Jia said to Liu Bin: "Lord. Now General Huang, General Zhao, General Guan, and General Zhang. They all have important positions and must be stationed on one side. Do not leave easily! If we ask them to come back and welcome the lord, it may change over time. It is better to let General Xuan Gao go. General Xuan Gao is the old minister who has been following the lord for the longest time. He has been leading the cavalry for many years and is extremely experienced. General Xuan Gao welcomes the lord for the lord. He will definitely complete the task successfully." Guo Jia's proposal. Jia Xu naturally has nothing to object to. Originally, he had to send his absolute confidant to do such a thing. Only in this way can he be relieved. Since Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are not in Youzhou now, it is natural to send Zang Ba, the old man who has followed the lord for the longest time.

However, what Guo Jia said fell into Liu Binde's ears, which made Liu Binde's heart move. Zang Ba is indeed the old man who has been with him for the longest time. But there are more suitable candidates than Zang Ba. Although Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong said they wanted to guard the place, Bingzhou and Jizhou were both closer to Chang'an and Luoyang than Youzhou! Moreover, the strategic task of Youzhou is to recuperate and restore local productivity. The army is mainly to train new recruits. Whether the military commander is present or not actually has little impact! Moreover, Zhao Yun and others are military commanders from all over the place and have to guard one side, but Zang Ba is also the military commander of the Youzhou Legion! He also has to guard the place! Although the troops led by Zang Ba are under the headquarters of Youzhou and are directly under his jurisdiction, he basically does not care about trivial matters, and many things need to be handled by Zang Ba himself! He is also very busy!

Besides, Zang Ba’s origin is not very good! He had been a bandit before! Now, when welcoming the emperor, it is probably a bit inappropriate to send generals like Zang Ba to greet him. At least it is an unrespectful sin. Moreover, with Zang Ba’s nature, it is impossible for him to respect the emperor more than Huang Zhong and others. If something happens in the middle, it is a great thing? Guo Jia cannot not know these things. But why did he suggest Zang Ba go? And he also pointed out that Zang Ba leads cavalry all year round. When Zang Ba leads the cavalry alone, he was a horse thief on the grassland! Although this is a confidential matter within Youzhou, it is Zang Ba recommended by Guo Jia. Guo Jia cannot forget it. Could it be that Guo Jia has any other intentions?

Thinking of this, Liu Bin felt a little enlightened. Liu Bin asked Guo Jia deliberately: "Fengxiao, are you sure that Xuan Gao is safe to do this?" Guo Jia guessed from Liu Bin's tone and felt that Liu Bin also understood his intentions. So he said decisively: "Don't worry, lord. General Xuan Gao is safe to do this."
