Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Therefore, in the face of Guo Jia's behavior, there is no way to guess or judge. It is estimated that no one except Guo Jia himself knows what his real purpose is?  The only thing left for others is endless doubt about this matter.  Therefore, no matter what Cao Cao thinks, no matter whether Cao Cao is suspicious of Cai Mao, once Guo Jia does such a thing, Cao Cao will definitely be suspicious of Cai Mao.  This is why Guo Jiahui said he was sorry to Cai Mao.  And who is Cai Mao?  In addition to being a key figure in the Cai family, a local gentry in Jingzhou, he is also an expert in water warfare. He has been helping Liu Biao fight against the Sun family in Jiangdong. From the earliest Sun Jian, to Sun Ce, to today's Sun Quan, Jingzhou can fight against Jiangdong.  They were impressive and often even won, all thanks to Cai Mao's navy!  No one else can understand the local geography, weather and other conditions better than this long-established local gentry.  It can be said that Guo Jia's casual words and letters at this time can already make Sima Yi and Guo Huan at the scene faintly see that Cao Cao will suffer a huge defeat in the Yangtze River water battle in the future!  Not acclimatized?  It's not that soldiers are not good at water fighting, but that there are no generals who are good at water fighting.  If a beautiful woman's smile can captivate a city, then Guo Jia's words can "capture" a country!   Xiahou Dun was defeated at Bowangpo. Although this time it was not like Cao Ren's last time, two generals were directly killed and Fancheng was lost, but Cao Cao was absolutely furious when he got the news.  I was even more angry last time!  It can be said that it was careless the first time, but what excuse can I make this second time?  !  Didn't Cao Cao pay enough attention to this side this time?  Could it be that Cao Jun is facing enemies on several fronts and is weak?  Isn't this the main battlefield now?  Isn't it Cao Cao's next military focus?  !  The result comes again and again.  Another defeat, after Cao Cao had successfully defeated Yuan Shao, who was so strong.  Now that such a problem occurs, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of the world?  !  This will make some people who are already ready to take action become even more ready to take action; it will also make some internal officials lose confidence.  The example of Yuan Shao is still vivid in my mind, right before my eyes. Yuan Shao could be defeated before, but now Cao Cao cannot be defeated?  !  What Cao Cao cares about is not the defeat of one or two small battles. What he cares about is the change in the direction of the general trend.  What Cao Cao needs now is not a big victory, but a rush of energy.  Unstoppable morale.  As for Zhuge Liang who suddenly appeared, Cao Cao was somewhat suspicious of Guo Jia.  It¡¯s not that Cao Cao thinks that the burning of Bowang Po was entirely Guo Jia¡¯s idea behind the scenes. You must know that Guo Jia¡¯s impression on Cao Cao has always been more about adapting to the situation on the battlefield. Cao Cao does not think that Guo Jia can handle such detailed scenes.  All designed in advance.  Therefore, that Zhuge Liang may really have two skills. Didn't Xu Shu also appear suddenly?  Where have you seen Xu Shu perform brilliantly before?  So, what really matters to Cao Cao.  How did Zhuge Liang, a newly debuted figure, gain absolute command in Liu Bei's camp?  Liu Bei can safely hand over his power to such a young guy who doesn¡¯t know the details?  Aren't you afraid that Zhuge Liang will trick them?  How could Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, great generals with special personalities, listen to a brat like Zhuge Liang?  therefore.  Cao Cao guessed that Zhuge Liang was probably sent out by Guo Jia and had Guo Jia's recommendation.  Liu Bei naturally felt more confident when he got up.  Just like Man Pang and others who were unremarkable in their own right that Guo Jia had recommended, they were indeed extraordinary.  Although this is just a guess.  Suspicion, no evidence at all.  But if it were anyone else, this speculation alone would be enough for Cao Cao to take action.  It's just that Guo Jia is different, and now that Guo Jia has no real power, Cao Cao has not taken any action on this. It seems that Guo Jia will be completely fine.  Defeated?  so what?  Just hit it again!  If Cao Ren can't do it, Xiahou Dun will do it; if Xiahou Dun doesn't do it, I will do it myself!  With this idea in mind, Cao Cao finally led his troops in person and attacked forcefully.  And quite dramatically, Liu Biao actually died of illness at this time!  To use an old saying, "God helps Cao but not Liu".  Speaking of which, Liu Biao's serious illness is not a secret.  But how sick Liu Biao is and whether he will die are absolutely secrets. Even within Jingzhou, many people cannot know. Some may even think that Liu Biao deliberately used this as an excuse to not send troops.  Helping 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 had not died, even if there were strong calls for surrender within Jingzhou, Liu Biao probably would not have surrendered directly.  Just like Soochow later, so what if the internal calls for surrender were loud?  That's because for the local nobles, surrender is really no big deal, but for the Sun family, it is not a big deal for the Sun family.In other words, if you surrender, there will be nothing!  Therefore, if Liu Biao had not died, Jingzhou might still have to fight for a while, but once Liu Biao died, the power of Jingzhou completely fell into the hands of the local nobles headed by the Cai family. The nobles did not want to fight, and the call for surrender was already very loud, so they surrender now  It became completely logical.  Well, of course, we still need to negotiate the terms first and bargain hard with Cao Cao.  Needless to say, this reality was a devastating blow to Liu Bei.  Fortunately, Guo Jia had "anticipated" this and had given guidance in advance. Therefore, Liu Bei's side was able to evacuate Xinye quickly and orderly, and left a trap in Xinye to plot Cao's army.  Afterwards, Zhuge Liang set fire to Xinye, and Liu Xuande led his people across the river. ?¡­ But it is said that after Liu Biao¡¯s death, Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others appointed their second son Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou, and then mourned.  As for the playboy Liu Qi, although he has corrected himself a lot now, it is a pity that time cannot wait. Since Liu Biao had turned to Liu Cong at the beginning, it was obviously not that easy to turn back to Liu Qi later.  If Liu Qi had behaved well from the beginning, then there would be no day today, and it would be him, Liu Qi, and not Liu Cong who married the Cai family's daughter.  Speaking of Liu Cong, although he is young, he is actually quite smart.  Liu Biao was not so stupid that he could not see whether his son was good or bad.  However, Liu Cong was just like Liu Xie, the current Emperor Xian, so what if he was smart?  Being young and without real power is the biggest flaw.  Therefore, when Liu Biao just died, Cao Cao had already brought his army.  The newly appointed Liu Cong hurriedly convened ministers to discuss the matter of resisting Cao Cao. Fu Xun, the governor of Dongcao, was the first to say, "Xunzhi has a plan that can make the people of Jingxiang as safe as Mount Tai and preserve the title of the lord." Liu Cong quickly asked for advice, "The plan will be  "Escape?" But he never thought about it. Fu Xun replied directly, "Why don't you give the nine counties of Jingxiang to Cao Cao? Cao Cao will treat your lord well." Liu Cong was furious in an instant, "How presumptuous!"  How can you abandon others before you can sit still?" At this time, Liu Cong even thought that Fu Xun had been bribed by Cao Cao and wanted to imprison Fu Xun.  But soon, Liu Cong will find that he is still too young.  (To be continued)
