Chapter 534 Guo Jia defected to Xiakou
"Mr. Fengxiao, if I remember correctly, Wen Ruo and Zhicai wrote to you a few years ago, but I haven't heard from you yet. Could it be that there is something wrong with your health?"
Qin Qi said.
well!
Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.
"After Cao Min and Wen Ruo and Zhicai separated, they traveled to various places and did not receive any letters from them.
Later, I went to Yuan Shao's tent in Jizhou and stayed for a while. I saw that Yuan Shao was a man with great ambition but little talent, and he was harsh and timid.
Don't limit the power of a young man. If you have arrogant generals and inconsistent government orders, you won't be able to achieve great things. In addition, the counselors under your command are in cahoots and constrain each other.
Where is Yuan Shao?
He is indecisive, greedy for small profits and forgets his roots. He only gives priority to the big families. He is a child of a eunuch family and looks down on the children of a poor family.
Disciples like Cao Min, no matter how talented they are, will not be reused under Yuan Shao's tent. Between this,
The Cao Min had no choice but to leave. Unfortunately, the Cao Min became seriously ill. In addition, several counselors from Yingchuan came to Yuan Shao for advice.
We can’t let the poor people leave, they’ve only been staying in Jizhou for a few years.”
Guo Jiadao.
Qin Qi nodded. Guo Jia's evaluation of Yuan Shao was similar to the evaluation in history. Yuan Shao was born in a noble family, how could he look down on a child from a poor family?
Take a look at Yuan Shao's staff. Whether they are counselors or generals, they basically come from famous families, big families, and eunuch families.
Of course, Yuan Shao had so many powerful people around him, and he was very successful in the governance of Jizhou.
At least the people can barely get by in life, and there has been no large-scale exodus of people in Jizhou.
Historically, Guo Jia stayed under Yuan Shao's tent for several years without offering any advice. He always watched with cold eyes, and finally chose to leave.
"Mr. Fengxiao, how long do you think it will take for the war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to be decided?"
Qin Qi said.
Guo Jia became serious, knowing that Qin Qi was trying to teach him.
"General Qin, whether it is Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, there is not much difference in strength between them. In terms of economic strength, Yuan Shao is
Slightly stronger than Gongsun Zan. In terms of military and horse training, Gongsun Zan is better. Generally speaking, the strength is equal.
The two wanted to decide the outcome in a short period of time, but the common people thought it was unlikely. However, Yuan Shao had Xun Chen under his command.
Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You and other eight counselors were all excellent.
As long as it is used well, it is still possible for the war to end quickly. However, due to Yuan Shao himself,
The grassroots believe that this is a long-term war, and it is difficult to determine the outcome if it does not last more than three years. If it is a long-term war,
Yuan Shao has an economic advantage, and the final winner is definitely Yuan Shao, not Gongsun Zan. Although Gongsun Zan is very good at fighting,
He can be regarded as a very good general. But what? Gongsun Zan has a shortcoming: he does not treat counselors well.
He is a bit stubborn and cannot make good use of the large number of talents in Youzhou to do things for himself."
Guo Jiadao.
Bang bang bang!
Qin Qi clapped her hands.
Suddenly, Xun Wenruo, Xi Zhicai, and Liu Zichu also applauded.
It is indeed a thorough analysis, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two people are stated. It is indeed the advantages and disadvantages of the two people.
"Sir Qin, the grassroots heard that your Excellency has nearly 100,000 cavalry in the Liaodong area, and they have been fighting against the cavalry on the grassland.
Why not take advantage of the decisive battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to send troops to Liaodong and capture the Youzhou area in one fell swoop?"
Guo Jia said in confusion.
"Mr. Fengxiao, there are several reasons here: First, when he was fighting against Dong, Gongsun Zan felt that the Liaodong region posed a threat to Youbeiping.
I came to me and wanted to sign a non-aggression treaty with me. I thought about it and agreed, and asked to sign a trade agreement.
The treaty stipulates that while Gongsun Zan is alive, my Liaodong cavalry will not invade Youbeiping. Second, I will send troops to Youbeiping.
It is Yuan Shao who benefits, not me. In this case, let Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan use up more of their strength.
When Gongsun Zan is defeated, ask our Liaodong Cavalry for help, or after Gongsun Zan dies, the Liaodong Cavalry will send troops again.
Sweeping through the exhausted Yuan Shaojun, he captured the Youzhou area in one fell swoop. By then, the battlefield in the Central Plains was almost over.
You can free up your hands to deal with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. In that case, you can eliminate Yuan Shao and capture the Jizhou area without spending too much effort."
Qin Qi said.
Qin Qi stood up, walked to the wall, opened the curtain, and revealed a huge map of the world.
Guo Jia saw the map with his eyes and was extremely shocked.
On the map, the area occupied by the Central Plains is only the size of a sesame seed, which is insignificant on the map.
"Mr. Fengxiao, we need to take a longer-term view, and don't just focus on the Central Plains.
There is still a lot of land outside that we need to conquer and seize. There are many empires in the world,
Its strength is no weaker than that of the Central Plains Dynasty, and some empires are even stronger than the Central Plains Dynasty.
Like the Mauryan Empire, the Parthian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, and the Egyptian Empire. Of course,
Now Greece and Egypt have declined, but the three empires of Peacock, Parthia, and Rome are very powerful."
Qin Qi said.
"These continents are basically still in primitive societies, without the concept of a country. The indigenous people still rely on hunting to make a living. The continents are rich in resources, and they are all treasures!"
Qin Qi said.
Guo Jia stammered.
"General Qin, are the markings on this map true?"
Guo Jiadao.
"It's true, it's the planet we live on. The countries marked on the map also exist, but they are a little far away from our Central Plains.
We must vigorously develop the navy, that is, our navy in the Xiakou area. Build super large warships,
Only then can I go on an expedition. At present, I just want to calm down the world as soon as possible and unify the world, and prevent the people of the Central Plains from being ravaged by war again.
Preserve the inheritance of the Central Plains. If the chaos continues, our strength in the Central Plains will be greatly weakened. By then,
Once the grassland races invade south, what can we, the Central Plains races, do to resist the foreign races? The internal strife in the Central Plains cannot continue any longer.
It must be ended in a short time. You know, we people in the Central Plains are fighting among ourselves, but people in the grassland are resting and recuperating.
When the strength of our Central Plains races declines, it will be the best time for the grassland races to invade the Central Plains. Over the years,
I have used my own money to absorb and resettle disaster victims and refugees. Everyone in the world calls me a fool.
There is no way around this. We must let a large number of people survive and preserve the strength of the Central Plains so that we can deal with the invasion of the grassland races.
In this case, you say, do I have a choice? Just be a fool, as long as I protect the people of the Central Plains, I am willing to be a fool."
Qin Qi said.
The darkest three hundred years of history in the Central Plains must not be allowed to happen again.
After hearing these words, Xun Yu, Xi Zhong, Liu Ba and Guo Jia were all excited and their fighting spirit was overwhelming.
"Mr. Fengxiao, I sincerely invite you to join the Xiakou Army! Use your talents to contribute to the rise and rejuvenation of the Central Plains race.
Conquer a country thousands of miles away, create a prosperous age, let the Central Plains race stand on top of the world, and become an empire with a strong country and a prosperous people."
Qin Qi lost no time in throwing the football.
Gudong!
Guo Jia knelt down and saluted Qin Qi.
"My lord, this is the master that the common people want to take refuge in. He is a man of great talent and great strategy who cares for the Central Plains race."
Guo Jiadao.
Qin Qi stepped forward and helped Guo Jia up, preventing him from kneeling.
"Mr. Fengxiao, you can't do that! We in Xiakou area don't want to kneel down, even if we see the emperor, we won't kneel down.
This is the rule in Xiakou. We only kneel to the sky and the ground to our parents. Others are not worthy of our kneeling.
Remember: From now on, you can’t kneel to others easily. We Central Plains people just kneel too much, and all our blood has been lost by kneeling.”
Qin Qi said.
"As you command!"
Guo Jia cupped his fists.
Chapter completed!
