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

Chapter 62, boiling frog in warm water

Jinyang, Prefecture Mufu.

Liu Bei and his subordinate Wen Wu gathered together. Three days had passed since they arrived in Bingzhou.

"Wen Ruo sent someone to summon him. He has already brought the situation in Yanmen under control."

Guo Jia made the news from Xun Yu public.

When Liu Bei heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Although he believed in Xun Yu's ability, he entered Yanmen alone after all, with only a piece of paper in his hand.

If you don't handle it carefully, it may trigger a mutiny. At that time, these arrogant and fierce generals will not reason with you.

It is not advisable to send someone to help with this matter, otherwise it will be easy to alert the enemy, and in the end it will be counterproductive.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "It is better not to do such risky things in the future."

The reason why he sent Xun Yu to Yanmen was to seize military power without bloodshed, so as to prevent Ding Yuan from falling into trouble at any cost.

But after a few days of sleepless reflection, he regretted agreeing to this matter. This plan was too risky, and Xun Yu might be involved if he was not careful.

In comparison, he would rather take things step by step, even if there is a bloody battle in the end.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Although Wen Ruo's mood seems to be as calm as water, in fact, he also has pride in his chest. He doesn't want to be compared to Jia."

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, not even the reason. The most important point is that Xun Yu did not agree to serve Liu Bei immediately, so he was eager to make up for it with his merits.

Zhang Fei said carelessly: "If eldest brother was worried, he should have asked me to pick up Sir."

But Liu Bei was too lazy to take care of this idiot. This kind of thing was meant to be unexpected. Wouldn't it be a bad thing if you went?

Guo Jia joked: "If Yide goes, a big war may be inevitable."

"How can a military advisor underestimate me, Zhang Fei? Although I have a bit of a temper, I still know my priorities."

Zhang Fei is a little dissatisfied and feels that Guo Jia looks down on others. Having a bad temper does not mean being reckless. One day I will impress you all.

He secretly made up his mind to make a big splash in the future and let them get to know Mr. Zhang again.

Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia and asked, "How does Feng Xiao think Ding Yuan will react when he finds out about this?"

"He will be angry, panicked, awed, and will act more carefully."

"Will he fight to the death?"

This is what Liu Bei is most worried about. It's not that he's afraid of not winning, but he just doesn't want to waste Bingzhou's military strength on internal fighting.

"No." Guo Jia shook his head without thinking and said, "This is a last resort. He will never take this risk until the last moment."

Once Ding Yuan raises an army, no matter what the final result is, the crime of rebellion is inevitable. At that time, even if he wins, it will be useless, not to mention that it is impossible for him to win.

The three thousand soldiers and horses they brought have taken over Jinyang's city defense, and Ding Yuan now only has 6,000 men in his hands.

No matter how strong the Bingzhou army is, it is impossible to break through Jinyang City in a short time. As long as it takes a few days, reinforcements from other states and counties will soon arrive.

As for the sneak attack... Guo Jia's special forces have already targeted the military camp outside the city, but if there is any trouble in Fan Dingyuan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are in charge of city defense, will know about it immediately.

Guan Yu asked doubtfully: "Why doesn't eldest brother just ask him to hand over his military power?"

"That is, if he doesn't agree, I, Zhang Fei, will poke a hundred transparent holes in him." Zhang Fei agreed with this statement.

With the power of state pastor, Ding Yuan was ordered to hand over military power. This was a matter of course.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "If this happens, the officers and soldiers in all counties will think that I have no tolerance for people, and people will become panicked."

In fact, he hoped that Ding Yuan would take the initiative to hand over military power, so that everyone would be happy. But the other party did not, and from that moment on, the outcome was doomed.

There are no two days in the sky, and no two masters in the country.

Bingzhou is equivalent to a small vassal state.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, just act according to your plan."

This is boiling a frog in warm water, eating away at it step by step, and ultimately forcing your opponent to make mistakes.

Liu Bei's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he knew that what he was talking about was the divorce plan he proposed last night, so he nodded.

"Very good."

Zhang Fei heard this and said with a depressed look: "Brother wants to keep us in the dark again."

Everyone laughed and said nothing.

At this time, Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu again and asked, "Have your brother and sister arrived?"

Mi Zhu was startled. He did not expect that his lord would care about such a trivial matter for his family, but he still replied: "Before I left for Luoyang, I told my second brother to calculate the time. I think it will arrive in a few days."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked puzzled. When Mrs. Sister-in-law arrived, they didn't see their eldest brother being so concerned!

"Brother really cares about Mi Zizhong." Zhang Fei said suddenly.

Is it just because Mi Zizhong is rich?

But he wrongly blamed his elder brother.

Liu Bei felt a little guilty and didn't know who to confide his bitterness to.

He couldn't tell everyone that he was thinking about Mi Zizhong's young sister, right?

He is not a romantic person, but he must marry the concubine he loved in his previous life. This is related to a man's dignity, not to mention that Mrs. Mi is his favorite woman.

She also has a deep love for herself, even sacrificing her own life in order to save Adou.

Of course, he also had another worry. If he was not careful and let Guo Fengxiao, a prodigal son, cut off his wife, that would be like riding a tiger and being unable to get off.

However, this was purely over-concern. Guo Jia had long known that Mrs. Mi belonged to Liu Bei and would never have given her a second glance.

By the way, there's also Gong Yao Ji.

——

boom!

After listening to his subordinate's report, Ding Yuan experienced a brief silence, and then he slapped the table with his palm, causing the bamboo slips all over the table to fall to the ground.

He stared at the subordinate who was half-kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression. The veins on his forehead had popped out, and he said solemnly: "Why didn't you come back earlier to report?"

The man looked panicked and said hurriedly: "The general wanted to come back and report to the general at that time, but the city gate was suddenly closed. You can only enter but not leave!"

There was another half silence.

"Get up."

Ding Yuan had already realized at this time that this was a premeditated seizure of power, which had been planned before Liu Bei arrived in Bingzhou.

His reaction was fast enough, but he was not as fast as others could prepare for a rainy day.

All the generals looked at each other with different expressions.

The Yanmen side lost the opportunity, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to them. Now, both in terms of military strength and identity, our side was completely at a disadvantage.

Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Zhang Wenyuan dared to betray his adoptive father. He should not have been allowed to serve as the school captain in the first place."

Ding Yuan sighed: "It's my fault for this. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were not of the same mind as us from the beginning."

"Now that the situation is over, I will immediately hand over military power to Commander Liu, and you all should also pledge your allegiance to him."

After saying this, he sighed again, as if he was a loser and had no interest in life.

"The last general is willing to swear allegiance to the general to the death."

"The same goes for the last general."

"And the last general..."

All the confidants expressed their loyalty one after another, but no one left the tent.

This is a wise decision.

Because whoever walks out first will definitely be hacked to death with random swords.
