Therefore, in the face of Guo Jia's behavior, there is no way to guess or judge. I guess no one except Guo Jia himself knows what his real purpose is. The only thing left to others is endless doubts about this matter.

So, no matter what Cao Cao thinks, no matter whether Cao Cao would be suspicious of Cai Mao, once Guo Jia does such a thing, Cao Cao will inevitably have suspicion of Cai Mao. This is why, Guo Jia would say sorry to Cai Mao.

Who is Cai Mao? In addition to being a key figure in the current Cai family of Jingzhou, he is also an expert in water war. He has always helped Liu Biao fight against the Sun family in Jiangdong. From the earliest Sun Jian to Sun Ce, to the present Sun Quan, Jingzhou can fight Jiangdong well and even win often, relying on Cai Mao's navy! No one else can better understand the local geographical weather and other situations than this long-standing local gentry.

It can be said that Guo Jia's random words and letters at this time can already make Sima Yi and Guo Huan at the scene vaguely see that Cao Cao will suffer a huge defeat in the battle of the Yangtze River in the future! Isn't adaptable to the local environment? It's not that the soldiers are not good at fighting water battles, but that there are no generals who are good at fighting water battles. If a beauty can be charming with a smile, then Guo Jia's words are enough to "pouring" the country!

......

Xiahou Dun was defeated in Bowangpo. Although this time, he did not kill two generals directly like Cao Ren last time and lost Fancheng, Cao Cao, who received the news, was absolutely furious and even more angry than the last time! The first time could be said to be careless, but what excuses could he make for the second time?! Is Cao Cao not paying attention to this side this time? Is Cao's army currently being attacked several times and weak in clones? Isn't this side now the main battlefield. Isn't Cao Cao's next military focus?!

As a result, repeated failures came after Cao Cao had successfully defeated such a strong Yuan Shao. Now that such a problem arose, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to the people of the world?! This will make some people who are already ready to move even more; it will also make some internal officials lose confidence. Yuan Shao’s example is still vivid in my mind, right in front of me. Yuan Shao could have defeated before, but now Cao Cao cannot defeat?!

What Cao Cao cares about is not the defeat of one or two small battles, but the change in the general trend. What Cao Cao needs now is not the victory, but the morale that is unstoppable.

As for Zhuge Liang who suddenly appeared, Cao Cao was somewhat suspicious of Guo Jia. It was not that Cao Cao thought that the burning of Bowangpo was completely the idea behind Guo Jia. You must know that Guo Jia had given Cao Cao for a long time, and it was more important to adapt to the situation on the battlefield. Cao Cao did not think that Guo Jia could design such details in advance. So, Zhuge Liang might really have two tricks. Didn’t Xu Shu appear suddenly? Have you ever seen Xu Shu have made some dazzling performances before?

So, what really made Cao Cao care about was how Zhuge Liang, a newly debuted person, could have obtained absolute command in Liu Bei's camp? Liu Bei was relieved to hand over the power to such a young, unknown guy? Aren't you afraid that Zhuge Liang would cheat them? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a peerless general with a special personality, would actually listen to Zhuge Liang's words? Therefore, Cao Cao guessed that Zhuge Liang was probably sent by Guo Jia, and with Guo Jia's recommendation. Liu Bei naturally had more confidence when using it. Just like Man Pang and others who were inconspicuous at the time, who recommended him by Guo Jia, he was indeed extraordinary.

Although this is just a speculation. Suspicion and there is no evidence at all. But if it were someone else, this speculation alone would be enough to make Cao Cao take action. But Guo Jia is different, and now Guo Jia has no real power, so Cao Cao has not taken any action on this. It seems that Guo Jia is completely fine.

If you lose? So what? Just fight again! Cao Ren doesn't work, Xiahou Dun goes; Xiahou Dun doesn't work, I'll go up! With this idea, Cao Cao finally led his troops in person this time and attacked him strongly. And quite dramatic, Liu Biao actually died of illness at this time! To put it in an old saying, "God helps Cao but not Liu."

Speaking of which, Liu Biao's serious illness is not a secret. But how serious Liu Biao is and whether he will die is definitely a secret. Even within Jingzhou, many people cannot understand it. Some people may even think that Liu Biao deliberately used this as an excuse to not send troops to help Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Biao's death at this time was quite unexpected to the outside world, and few people could have expected it.

If Liu Biao was not dead, even if there was a lot of call for surrender within Jingzhou, Liu Biao would probably not be able to surrender directly. Just like the later Eastern Wu, what if there was a lot of call for surrender within the country? That's because for those local gentry, surrender is indeed no big deal, but for Sun, for Sun Quan, if you surrender, there would be nothing!

Therefore, if Liu Biao was not dead, Jingzhou might have to be beaten for a while. But once Liu Biao died, the power of Jingzhou completely fell into the hands of the local gentry headed by the Cai family. The gentry did not want to fight, and the calls for surrender were already very loud, so it became natural for surrender now. Well, of course, we should negotiate the conditions first and bargain with Cao Cao.

Needless to say, this reality was a devastating blow to Liu Bei. Fortunately, Guo Jia had "predicted" this and had already given advice in advance. Therefore, Liu Bei's side could evacuate Xinye in an orderly and decisive manner and quickly, and also left a trap in Xinye to plot against Cao's army.

Then, Zhuge Liang burned Xinye, and Liu Xuande and his people crossed the river.

......

However, after Liu Biao's death, Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others made the second son Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou, and then mourned and reported the death. As for the playboy Liu Qi, who had already corrected a lot, it was a pity that time was not waiting. Since Liu Biao had turned to Liu Cong, it was obviously not so easy to turn back to Liu Qi. If Liu Qi had performed well from the beginning, then there would not be today. It would be Liu Qi, who married the Cai family's daughter, not Liu Cong.

Speaking of Liu Cong, although he was young, he was actually quite smart. Liu Biao was not so stupid that he could not tell the good or bad of his son. However, Liu Cong was just like Liu Xie, the current emperor of Zixian. So what if he was smart? The biggest flaw was that he had no real power at the age of young.

Therefore, when Liu Biao had just died and Cao Cao had already brought the army. The newly appointed Liu Cong hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss the protest against Cao. Fu Xun, the official of Dong Cao, said first.

"Xun has a plan that can make the people of Jingxiang safer as safe as Mount Tai, and also protect the lord and the duke."

Liu Cong hurriedly asked for advice,

"The plan will be released?"

But I never thought that Fu Xun replied directly,

"It is better to present the nine counties of Jingxiang to Cao Cao. Cao must treat the lord more seriously."

Liu Cong was furious in an instant.
