Chapter 277: Changing Courtyard
Chen Liu, Xiang Yu's residence.
Xiang Yu, Jing Tianming and Guo Jia were sitting around a table, but Xiang Yu was drinking wine alone, while Guo Jia was obviously worried and looked absent-minded. Only Jing Tianming was eating the delicious food carelessly. of delicacies.
“It’s delicious. This roast chicken is so delicious.” Jing Tianming muttered as he ate.
Seeing that there was still silence around him after eating for a long time, Tianming stopped his chopsticks and said to Xiang Yu with some dissatisfaction: "Zi Ji, what do you mean? You agreed to treat me to dinner, but you ended up putting on such a stinky face, who are you showing it to?" He can’t see Huang Chao.”
"Hmph..." Xiang Yu became even more angry when he heard this. After snorting coldly, he said bitterly: "I'm so angry that there are such shameless people in this world. Huang Chao, I must crush you to ashes before I can relieve my heart. hate."
Xiang Yu originally set out for this battle with the intention of trapping Huang Chao, but Huang Chao was superior to Xiang Yu and suffered a lot.
Xiang Yu experienced nine deaths before narrowly escaping again. The two sides were completely torn apart, and there was no longer the possibility of peaceful coexistence.
Xiang Yu originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of being framed to launch an attack and bring down Huang Chao in one fell swoop.
But Huang Chao was so cunning. After seeing Xiang Yu return, he beat him up and accused Xiang Yu of being arrogant. As a result, Hulao Pass, which was about to be taken, was recaptured by the Han army again.
Xiang Yu was the main general in this battle, and there were 30,000 Yellow Turban warriors when he went out to fight. Only Huangchao, Zhu Wen, Xiang Yu and Guo Jia returned. Xiang Yu could not shirk the responsibility for the annihilation of the entire army.
Among the four people who returned, Guo Jia and Zhu Wen were their respective subordinates. Neither Xiang Yu nor Huang Chao had conclusive evidence, so it was natural that the public opinion was justified and the mother-in-law opinion was justified.
Although they did not capture Hulao Pass this time, they still consumed 50,000 Han troops. This weakened the Han army and further expanded the Yellow Turbans' military advantage, so it cannot be said to be a complete failure.
In the absence of conclusive evidence, Zhang Jiao would naturally not listen to the one-sided words of either party, and the result would naturally be nothing, and both parties would be punished.
“So, if you don’t have enough food, how can you have the energy to think of a way to deal with Huang Chao?”
Timing tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiang Yu, and then said to Guo Jia: "Mr. Jia, don't be in a daze. Come up with an idea."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu also turned his attention to Guo Jia. He had suffered such a big loss this time, so he couldn't remain indifferent.
Guo Jia, who was deep in thought, was suddenly awakened by the dawn. When he saw both of them looking at him with questioning expressions, he immediately smiled and said: "Huang Chao has already received the greatest punishment, so I think it is better to remain unchanged in the face of changes. "
Xiang Yu immediately said displeased upon hearing this: "What kind of punishment is grounding?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Does the general think Huang Chao's punishment is really only grounding?"
Xiang Yu curled his lips in disdain, but Tianming's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Could it be..."
"That's right." Guo Jia sighed in his heart and became even more disappointed with Xiang Yu. Even Tianming could see such a simple truth, but Xiang Yu couldn't.
"Actually, all of us have underestimated the great sage." A trace of reverence flashed across Guo Jia's face, and he said seriously: "He is far more terrifying than all of us imagined. Now Dongfang Sheng has returned, and there are The Taiping Guards are here, how could the Great Master not know about it?”
When Tianming heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "In that case, the great virtuous master did not punish Huang Chao, but because the war was imminent and in order to stabilize the internal situation, he wronged his son Ji?" Guo Jia smiled and said: "How can this be called a grievance? I am sure that the great virtuous master has been completely disappointed with Huang Chao, and as long as General Xiang survives this setback, the great virtuous master will definitely look at you with admiration."
Zhang Jiao is actually an extremely idealistic person. He has always had his own benchmark in his mind for who should be his successor.
And this benchmark is neither too high nor too low, but there is no room for others, and people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals will never be Zhang Jiao's successor.
The reason why Zhang Jiao values Huang Chao so much is because of Huang Chao's outstanding abilities, but this does not mean that ability can replace character.
After being explained by Guo Jia, Xiang Yu suddenly became enlightened and said with a slight smile: "In that case, it is true that the blame was taken on. Huang Chao might not have thought of his frame-up, but he would help me."
"You political idiot, don't be too happy too early." Tianming curled his lips and reminded: "Huang Chao will not sit back and wait for death. He will definitely try his best to remedy the situation. And with your father-in-law's indecisive temperament, you Are you sure you won’t be affected by it?”
"You're right." Xiang Yu was immediately discouraged when he heard this, and said with a bitter smile: "These conspiracies and tricks really don't suit me. If I relied on myself, I wouldn't even be qualified to fight Huang Chao."
Xiang Yu’s political attribute is only 75 points, so if he is playing tricks, he is no match for Huang Chao.
"It's okay." Tianming patted his chest and said confidently, "I still have a brother!"
“You?” Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, “Let’s forget it.”
Tianming saw Xiang Yu's posture and immediately said angrily: "Xiang Yu, what's your expression? Do you look down on young hero Tianming?"
“How dare I, young hero Tianming!”
"You..." Tian Ming couldn't tell that this was a sarcastic remark, and he was instantly angry, and then said: "Well, I am not Huang Chao's opponent, but there is Mr. Jia, right? , Huh?”
The distracted Guo Jia was woken up again by dawn. Seeing this, Xiang Yu asked doubtfully: "Xiaofeng, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Of course Guo Jia was worried, but he couldn't tell Xiang Yu. How should he say it? Could it be said that this is a losing war? Even Xiang Yu wouldn't believe it.
It turns out that Guo Jia had a bit of luck with the Yellow Turban newspaper, thinking that with his help, the Yellow Turban might be able to succeed against the odds.
But when Guo Jia witnessed and participated in the internal fighting of the Yellow Turbans, he felt only deep disappointment, and this disappointment had evolved into despair after Dongfang Sheng came back.
Even Zhang Jiao’s most trusted adopted daughter... One can imagine how many hidden dangers there are in the Yellow Turban!
After taking over the Xuanhuang Division, Guo Jia finally figured it out. The Yellow Turban is a sieve full of loopholes that cannot be saved without human intervention. Zhang Jiao will surely fall apart if he dies.
But even so, Guo Jia is not ready to give up. He still has one last glimmer of hope, and this glimmer of hope lies with Zhang Jiao. He hopes that Zhang Jiao can persist until Luoyang is conquered.
It’s time to change the court. Guo Jia sighed in his heart.
