Chapter 71: Promote the Han and Bury the Han

Guo Jia has never seen Wang Yun. Wang Yun ascended the position of Situ and ranked third in recent years. If Wang Yun is really loyal to the Han Dynasty, then Guo Jia can understand Wang Yun’s hatred for him.

Liu Yan's disobedience was already clear about the emperor's ceremonial guard. This was a rebellion, but Liu Yan was always a relative of the Han Dynasty and would be emotionally inclined.

Yuan Shao usurped the power of the emperor and appointed officials, and at least he took action first and then reported it to the court respectfully. Yuan Shao was supported by the aristocratic people. After all, he was a Han minister and the emperor was held hostage by Dong Zhuo. He did extraordinary things at an extraordinary time. Yuan Shao was understandable.

But what about Guo Jia? Even though he was convicted of being an imperial criminal by the court before he rose up, there was another hidden truth in it, and the center of the court was tacitly announced. As for the previous murder, no one cared about it. Now, who is the past of those princes? However, Guo Jia later raised an army to capture Yizhou and led the general of the Taiping Army. If Guo Jia occupied a mountain and a forest, it would be reasonable, but he occupied a piece of land among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo asked for help but he did not accept it. It was equivalent to not being a Han minister. Since he was not a Han minister, he occupied the land of the Han Dynasty, he was a thief.

Guo Jia did not accept Dong Zhuo's invitation. People who are well aware of righteousness will understand Guo Jia's approach. The Kanto princes never negotiated peace with Dong Zhuo, and even the envoys were killed. If Guo Jia accepted Dong Zhuo's invitation, wouldn't it be like a gang with Dong Zhuo? Even Ma Teng, who accepted Dong Zhuo's invitation, resolutely turned against Dong Zhuo when the Kanto princes met. Guo Jia did not accept Dong Zhuo's invitation. In this matter, no one could blame Guo Jia, but instead expressed Guo Jia's position.

If Wang Yun did not send Lu Bu to attack him at this time, but recruited him, Guo Jia would definitely not hesitate and immediately accepted it and took an official position in the Han Dynasty, because accepting the revenge of the Han emperor represented by Wang Yun was the best opportunity to help Guo Jia clear his name. Guo Jia could not defeat the country with the title of rebel, but in name, it would take time to submit to the Han Dynasty. When Dong Zhuo was there, it would not work. Dong Zhuo is dead now, Guo Jia's opportunity has come, but Wang Yun will not give it to him.

The reason for this is that Guo Jia puts himself in his shoes and can think of some.

Dong Zhuo was in trouble with the government and poisoned the world. It was also the rule of the kings of Liu Bian and Liu Xie. Moreover, there were two emperors Huan Ling, as well as the mess left by the foreign relatives and eunuchs taking turns to control the government for more than 100 years.

The selection system of officials in the Han Dynasty was to select filial and honest officials. Guo Jia implemented the imperial examination system in Yizhou. Not only did he dismiss the officials of the Han Dynasty, but he also appointed some people who did not meet the system of filial and honest officials at all. This was equivalent to abolishing the system of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, which was equivalent to denying the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty abolished hundreds of schools and respected Confucianism alone. Guo Jia built hundreds of schools and opened the theories of various schools of thought.

With these two points, how could Wang Yun, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, bear it? Dong Zhuo was in chaos for a while, Guo Jia was in chaos for a long time.

Guo Jia admires Wang Yun for his courage to set up a series of plans behind Dong Zhuo, and also admires his loyalty to the Han Dynasty. He despises Wang Yun's general strategy and overall view.

As soon as Dong Zhuo was killed, Lu Bu was sent to Yizhou, and he was simply ignorant of his life.

The generals in the meeting hall stared at the counselors to see what they thought about Wang Yun sending Lu Bu to attack.

After Xi Zhicai expressed his opinion for a long time, Xu Shu took the list and said: "Lu Bu's Liangzhou army is at most 50,000, but there are more than 100,000 generals in Sizhou, including Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, etc. If these generals obey Wang Yun's orders, the lord must make a quick decision and send a large army north to meet the enemy. If this is true, Lu Bu might be just a vanguard."

Guo Jia, who sat in the main seat without saying a word, was as deep as water. He did not believe that Wang Yun could allow the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army to work together to serve the Han Dynasty.

After Xu Shu finished speaking, Zhen Yao went out and said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu and Li Jue and Guo Si have a long conflict. Even if they go south together, Yizhou will have natural dangers to resist the enemy and protect themselves without worries. But lord, at this time, you might as well submit a statement to Chang'an to show that you are willing to be recruited. If the court agrees, it can be the same as the princes. If the court does not agree, then plan for the future."

As a new important member, Fa Zheng came out and shook his head and said, "Situ Wang Yun is too lazy to be polite and then the army, I am afraid that the report of Chang'an will bring shame upon himself. Lord, now, you have to resist Lu Bu first, but there are greater hidden dangers than Lu Bu's attack."

Guo Jia doesn't like others to keep it in hiding, so Fa Zheng paused and looked at Guo Jia, but Guo Jia closed his eyes instead.

Perhaps he wanted to use this method to arouse Guo Jia's curiosity, but if Guo Jia doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything in his heart, but he just wants to listen to the people in the court and say it first and then combine his own ideas.

Fa Zheng withdrew his gaze, coughed concealedly, and then continued: "This manifesto is probably already in the hands of the princes of Guandong. What will they do? Yuan Shao, Gongsun, Zan, Tao Qian and others naturally don't need to worry about it, but will Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Yuan Shu in Nanyang give up all his past grudges and echo Chang'an to attack? Whether Yuan Shu and Liu Biao come together or they come alone, even if they don't come, the lord cannot be lucky and must be wary of it early."

Guo Jia had long thought of this, and even thought further. The remnants of the gentry who had lost power and the suppressed gentry in Yizhou might take this opportunity to cause trouble again, but Guo Jia was not afraid. The gentry lost its real power and the powerful clans as their backers, what appeal could they have? The gentry had no private soldiers and the gentry as protective umbrellas, what would they use to make trouble? If there are really those who are not afraid of death, it would cause trouble to the three clans.

If you want to incite the people, you must come up with some evidence-based arguments. If more than a year ago, Guo Jia would have been worried that the people would be bewitched. Now that life has been significantly improved and the policies are easier than before, they will rebel? What are they trying to do? Did they go to the days before Guo Jia came to Yizhou?

After Fa Zheng finished speaking, he walked back to his original position, and the others said nothing.

Guo Jia opened his eyes, looked at Qin Mi, and asked lightly: "Qin Mi, what suggestions do you have?"

Qin Mi does not understand military strategies, so he can't fight, but his knowledge is good.

"Resist the strong enemy from outside, govern the civil affairs inside, build up princes well, and wait for an opportunity to move again."

Guo Jia nodded, and Qin Mi said something he really didn't expect.

At this time, he wanted to stand aside with the princes of the world. Yuan Shu had just defeated Jingzhou and would never send troops rashly, let alone to attack Yizhou. Liu Biaofa did not send troops. Guo Jia believed that he would not be able to do so. Because of Yuan Shu's constraints, he still had to be on guard. Therefore, the troops in Badong and Fuling should be vigilant.

"How will Yuan Shao react to this manifesto?"

What attitude does Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian have not important. The key is Yuan Shao. His camp includes Cao Cao, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Dai and others.

It seemed that he wanted to show more, Fa Zheng left the list again and bowed: "Yuan Shao must neither support nor object."

Guo Jia rarely smiled at this time. Fa Zheng coincided with his thoughts, but he still asked, "Oh? What's the reason?"

Everyone focused on Fa Zheng, and he looked calm and said, "Yuan Shao was supported by the gentry in the world. If he responded to the manifesto, he would openly denounce his lord, for fear that the people in the world would force his lord to rebel and attack Chang'an in one fell swoop. If the Han Dynasty perished, the gentry in the world would not support him as he did now. At that time, he held high the banner of supporting the Han Dynasty and hoped that the gentry in the Han Dynasty would be destroyed. Someone would definitely surrender his lord. Yuan Shao's strength would be reduced, so Yuan Shao could not force his lord to a dead end. But Yuan Shao would hope to see the lord fighting with the imperial army and destroy each other. When he unified Hebei and swept the Central Plains, he could reap the benefits."

What kind of alliance leader is Yuan Shao? It is the leader of the princes who formed a alliance with the princes. Xingyi Army eliminated violence and safeguarded the Han Dynasty. But did Yuan Shao really support the Han Dynasty? If he really supported the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo would have been defeated long ago, and it was not Lu Bu's turn to take action.

Yuan Shao's ambition has long been revealed, but it has not reached the point that everyone knows. However, he has received support from the gentry. Fifty percent of it is because the Yuan family has four generations and three official families have many old officials, and 50 percent is because Yuan Shao is holding the banner of supporting the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty perishes, there will definitely be someone else's way out, which will be a blow to Yuan Shao. Therefore, Yuan Shao cannot spread salt on Guo Jia's wounds, otherwise Guo Jia will really fight the northern expedition, and the orthodox Han Dynasty will probably become history.

"Xiaozhi, your words are very consistent with my heart. Since Yuan Shao will not make things difficult for me at this time, I will not be in trouble except for being scolded by some ignorant people. Now I must resist Lu Bu. I will immediately order people to send a message to the two counties of Badong and Fuling overnight, so that Zhou Tai and Zhang Baiqi will strictly guard against Jingzhou. Zhicai, you and Yuanzhi will sit in Chengdu and send an urgent report to Gan Ning, and ask him to reorganize the army in Zitong County. When I personally passed by north, I took Jinfan Army north to Hanzhong and Zhang Liao to meet with Wenhou Lu Bu for a while. By the way, I will send a group of people to Zhang Liao to send an urgent report to Zhang Liao. I think Lu Bu will go south to the old road, and let Zhang Liao lead his army to block Lu Bu's army at the north entrance of the old road, and at least hold Lu Bu up for half a month."

After Guo Jia issued the order, Xu Chu and Dian Wei left the line to fight as usual. Guo Jia patted his forehead and said helplessly: "If you go with me, will there be any troops in Chengdu? If rebellions in Shu County and surrounding areas start to storm, who will suppress it?"

Xu Chu was about to ask Gan Ning to lead the Jinfan Army back, but before he could say it, he felt it was impossible. It was a waste of money and money. In addition, the soldiers under their command were not cavalry, so Guo Jia rode north to save time. Now that the manifesto has been in hand, Lu Bu's men must have set out from Chang'an, and the situation is urgent.

"Lord, are you afraid that General Wen Yuan can't resist Lu Bu? Why do you have to go in person?" Zhen Yan asked with a worried face.

Be the master of the human world and not in danger.

Guo Jia smiled and said lightly: "I just want to ask Lu Bu a few questions in person. Oh, Xiaozhi, go with me. You are familiar with Guanzhong. I want to ask you some questions about Guanzhong."

Fa Zheng did not expect Guo Jia to go to the battle in person, but he still called him to take him.

As the civil and military dispersed, the sky was dawning. Guo Jia knelt on the main seat and sneered and said to himself: "Wang Yun, you can't even tolerate me. It seems that Li Jue and Guo Si will probably not get your pardon. Are you reviving or burying a man?"...
