Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 56, driving away tigers and swallowing wolves

On the icebergs and snow, the army in red clothes and black armor climbed over the mountains and ridges, like a long dragon.

From wealth to poverty, from prosperity to loneliness, the lively scene turns into desolation.

Through the car window, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery along the way. This is Guo Jia's true feeling when he rushed from Luoyang to Bingzhou.

However, there was a trace of doubt in his mind. Logically speaking, no matter how barren Bingzhou was, he would not encounter only a few people on the way.

"Is Bingzhou so desolate?" A gentle voice sounded, and Bian Yu'er was also looking out the window.

Guo Jia pondered: "Maybe it's the cold winter, maybe something just happened here, such as... a war."

It is normal for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Usually when this happens, it means something has happened.

Guo Jia smiled again and said, "Do you regret following me to this frontier place to endure hardships?"

When Bian Yuer heard this, she turned to look at him with very tender eyes. She leaned on his shoulder and whispered softly: "You are happy and I am happy, and you are worried about me."

She can always say beautiful words in different situations. Even if she knows that the other person is playing tricks, Guo Jia can't help but feel relaxed physically and mentally.

As long as it doesn't interfere with business, he is not a harsh person.

In the evening, the team arrived at the foot of Jinyang City.

Zhang Yi, the former governor of Bingzhou, learned of the news and went out of the city with his subordinates and civil servants early to meet him, regardless of wind or snow.

"Shijun Liu is finally here, but I'm looking forward to seeing you!"

Zhang Yi greeted him with a smile. On the surface, his words were polite, but they were also heartfelt.

As a civil servant who was not very good at fighting, it was really difficult for him to govern a complex frontier place like Bingzhou.

The Southern Xiongnu who bowed their heads were ready to make a move, and the "Xiutu" tribes surrendered and rebelled, plus the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who were showing signs of recovery... It makes people have a headache just thinking about it.

Therefore, he was sincerely happy about Liu Bei's arrival, because he helped him get out of the quagmire, and he would be able to return to Beijing to report on his work tomorrow.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Brother Shang De (Zhang Yi's nickname) is too polite."

Then he turned his attention to the middle-aged man next to Zhang Yi. This man had a square face and looked upright.

As expected, this person is none other than Ding Yuan.

Without his intervention, the other party would become the new governor of Bingzhou a few years later, and later become the first adoptive father killed by Lu Bu.

But he is also a tragic person, I hope he will not destroy his future.

Zhang Yi raised his hand and said: "Xuande, please."

Liu Bei nodded: "Please."

In return, he spent his own money tonight to help Liu Bei and others.

Guo Jia said to himself: "It seems that another person's destiny has been changed invisibly."

As far as he knew, according to the course of history, Zhang Yi would be attacked and killed by the Huns a few years later. Speaking of which, they intervened and saved each other's lives.

But then he shook his head and laughed. In fact, from the beginning, he and Liu Bei changed the course and ending of many people.

——

The wind and snow howled outside, and the smell of wine inside filled my nose.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Yi, who was already tipsy, suddenly said: "Xuande, you must be careful about the Huns from now on."

Liu Bei put down the wine bottle and said with a smile: "How do you say this?"

In my previous life, I had fought in many battles, and even though I had suffered many defeats, I had never been afraid of them, let alone a mere Hulu.

It's not that he thinks too highly of himself, but that since the time of Emperor Xiaowu, everyone in the Han Empire has developed this self-confidence.

Anyone who offends the might of the Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is.

The Xiongnu Empire in its heyday was beaten to pieces, not to mention the Southern Xiongnu who have now surrendered. If they can't even deal with these rabble, how can they talk about fighting for world hegemony?

Zhang Yi sighed: "Xiutu's various tribes are capricious. Every once in a while, they will attack the border and disturb the people. It is really difficult to control."

Liu Bei fell into deep thought after hearing this. On the surface, the Southern Xiongnu were already vassals of the Han Dynasty. This problem was really difficult to deal with.

This was a rough voice.

"Since they invaded our border, why don't you just fight them back?" Zhang Fei seemed to be a little drunk, and his voice was full of murderous intent.

Liu Bei turned around and looked over. He trembled instantly, half sober from the wine, and did not dare to speak anymore.

Liu Bei asked: "This matter should be controlled by Qiangqu Chanyu. Could it be that he just stood by and watched?"

Zhang Yi shook his head, and then sighed again.

"The Chanyu of Qiangqu actually loves the Han Dynasty, but he is powerless in trying to control the various tribes of the Xiongnu."

"Brother Shang De, be careful and be prepared to adapt to the circumstances."

"That's fine, maybe Xuande's reputation can suppress Xiutu's various tribes."

Zhang Yi didn't say anything more. He just mentioned it casually, and he should have thanked Liu Bei for helping him escape from the right and wrong.

Little did he know that Ding Yuan's eyes gradually turned gloomy when he heard this. It was just because he lowered his head that no one knew.

Why should anyone get the results of the great situation they worked so hard to achieve?

——

After the banquet, Guo Jia, Guan Yu and others gathered at Liu Bei's Prefecture House.

In the main hall.

Liu Bei looked around at everyone and said slowly: "What do you think about what Zhang Yi said?"

"Needless to say, since Xiu Tu's various tribes are disobedient, then let's help the Xiongnu Chanyu to destroy him!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to speak.

Liu Bei didn't scold him this time, which was a good idea.

Guo Jia pondered: "In this way, the Southern Xiongnu may panic and become united, which is not conducive to the development of the lord in Bingzhou."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is there any strategy for paying filial piety?"

He knew that since Guo Jia said this, he must have come up with a countermeasure.

Guo Jia said calmly: "The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind."

For some reason, Liu Bei always felt that there was a killing intent in Guo Jia's words.

Who is Mantis?

Who is Cicada?

Who is the last oriole?

Zhang Fei once again couldn't help but complain: "Oh, military advisor, please stop being so secretive."

Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia seriously. For some reason, he always felt that these simple eight words contained a hint of bloodshed.

"Xiutu tribes have repeatedly rebelled, but the Qiangqu Chanyu cannot control it. It is obvious that the situation within the Southern Xiongnu is that the leader is weak and the ministers are strong. Does your lord know what this means?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he already roughly understood Guo Jia's thoughts, so he replied: "The leaders of Xiutu's various tribes have developed a disobedient heart. The reason why they have not acted for a long time is just because they take the Han's position into consideration."

Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "If someone adds fuel to the fire at this time, for example...telling the leaders of Xiutu tribes that the Han intends to confer him the title of Chanyu of the Southern Huns, what will he do?"

"He will kill his master." This was what Guan Yu said.

Guo Jia glanced at him approvingly and continued: "At that time, the lord can justifiably send out troops to bring justice to the Xiongnu Chanyu. After this battle, the southern Xiongnu's vitality was seriously damaged, and they will probably be peaceful for a few years.

"

This method can also be called "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits", or in other words, it is called driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!

Everyone looked at the young man chatting and laughing in front of them in disbelief, and once again realized how scholars can kill people while talking and laughing.

No, this is not a scholar, this is a military strategist.

When a soldier plans an attack, attacking the city is the lowest priority, and attacking the heart is the uppermost priority.
