Chapter 1198: A War of Tongues

But is it really like the previous movement?

Of course not.

After Guo Jia and the others were invited into the big tent, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi put Guo Jia and them close to the curtain of the big tent. And from the beginning, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others did not greet Guo Jia and them, but only communicated with Zhao Yun.

In Chinese etiquette, the closer you are to the lord's position, the higher your status and rank, and the closer to the gate, it is the opposite.

All in all, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi first gave Guo Jia and them a dismount.

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren are generals who have a violent temper, so they are naturally unhappy.

But Guo Jia sat down very calmly, completely unaffected.

This calmness impressed Liu Jun and everyone else, and secretly praised him as Cao Cao's chief strategist.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi glanced at each other, and the two reached an agreement through their eyes. Guo Jia's talent has been circulating in the strategist group, and both Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi know that Liu Yu has a high opinion of Guo Jia. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are both young and arrogant, so they personally debated with Guo Jia.

"Zilong brought Cao Jun to surrender, it's really hard." Sima Yi was the first to speak.

"Come on, prepare the wine and food, the official and others will wash the dust for Zilong!" Zhuge Liang echoed and said.

These words ignored Guo Jia and others.

Zhao Yun was a relatively honest person, stood up and said, "The two adults have good intentions, and the last general has a heart." At the behest of His Majesty, the last general will go to Huainan with Mr. Guo. The military situation is tense, and there is no room for error. ”

"Zilong, you have been running all the way, and you have brought the remnants of the Cao army here, and you are indeed tired. It's very dangerous to be in the middle of the night and be with that kind of dangerous person. It's better to be like this, Rong Benguan played Your Majesty, Zilong, you can rest for one night, and you won't eat if you go to Huainan early tomorrow morning. "Sima Yi, the bad species, not only counted Guo Jia, but also Cao Jun.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "In the land of Huainan projectile, there are only some remnants of soldiers left who are dying and struggling, and it is difficult to become a climate. Just send one random person and you're good to go. Why do you want Zilong to go in person! Kill chickens with a knife! ”

Well, Zhuge Liang is also talking about Cao Jun's incompetence in a roundabout way.

Except for Zhang Fei, the generals of Liu Jun present were all holding back a smile, and they recognized Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's approach very much. Cao Jun is a defeated army, and Liu Jun, as the victor, is naturally qualified to satirize them.

Zhang Fei is the son-in-law of the Xiahou family, and now that there are many people in the Xiahou family, Zhang Fei can't show any sneer. Otherwise, if it reaches the ears of Zhang Fei's daughter-in-law, this backyard will definitely catch fire.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were furious, they now felt that it was wrong for them to obey Cao Cao's military orders and surrender, so they would be reduced to being looked down upon and neglected here.

Guo Jia sat calmly in his place and said slowly: "The two adults are not the same. ”

The subtle changes of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan and others, Guo Jia keenly discovered that he had to speak, otherwise the situation would not be good.

"Who is this gentleman?" Sima Yi pretended to be stupid and said.

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Under Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao!" ”

"Oh? It turned out to be the sacrificial wine under Cao Mengde. Disrespectful, disrespectful! This official Sima Zhongda! Sima Yi took Guo Jia's official position to show that his status was much higher than Guo Jia.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised, his official position is to sacrifice wine well, but it has a lot of weight in Cao Cao's army, Sima Yi's sarcasm, he can hear it.

"It turned out to be Lord Sima. By the way, Lord Sima, I saw a person who was saddled before and after my lord was in my lord's place, and he was also respectful to him, just like his children and grandchildren, he was also surnamed Sima, called Sima Boda, I don't know if it has anything to do with Lord Sima? "Guo Jia has an unforgiving mouth, and he is equal to an invincible existence in the Cao army.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan both knew that the person Guo Jia was talking about was Sima Lang, and Guo Jia used this to satirize Sima Yi, which was indeed a bit of a loss.

Sima Yi was secretly annoyed, his brother was wronged by Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that his brother had not been respected by Cao Cao and his subordinates from Guo Jia's mouth today.

Sima Yi defended his eldest brother and said: "My brother treats people sincerely, but he is so humiliated, it is really hateful!" ”

"Hateful? If it weren't for my lord's benevolence and righteousness, I would have cut down Sima Lang, a sinister villain, a long time ago. Our lord was sincere to Sima Boda, but in exchange for Sima Boda's betrayal of my lord. Your brother keeps calling my lord the lord, but in secret he betrays the lord and is the son of man in vain. If it weren't for Sima Thief's rebellion, what would the overall situation be, it wouldn't be necessarily! Guo Jia knew that it was Sima Lang to get Guan Yu into Shouchun, so he was not polite at all.

Sima Yi is extremely patient, his brother did betray Cao Cao, and now he is telling the truth, and Sima Lang is just doing things unfavorably. Sima Lang's reputation is estimated to be over. But Sima Yi felt that it didn't matter, there were so many children of the Sima family, and any one of them would be valued by His Majesty, and the Sima family would prosper forever.

From the side, Sima Lang has become the key to determining the outcome of the victory, and this kind of credit is enough for Sima Lang to be used for life. Fame or something, there's not much need for it anymore. What Emperor Shenwu values today is merit and future performance.

Sima Yi sat directly with his sleeves brushed up, in terms of words, he had been pinched by Guo Jia, and if he continued, he only had to bring humiliation on himself. Sima Yi is a smart man who knows when to back down. Anyway, if he retreats, there is nothing to lose for him. What's more, Sima Yi also has Zhuge Liang such a powerful ally.

Sima Yi glanced at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang stood up with a smile.

Zhuge Liang was observing Guo Jia from the side just now, and when Sima Yi was speechless by Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang felt that it was time for him to come out and defend the face of the entire Liu Jun.

"Guo sacrificial wine. Just now, I was talking to Zilong, I don't know why Guo Xijiu interjected? Those who interject when others talk are rude! Zhuge Liang is also a person with a very good mouth, and he immediately took over the conversation for Sima Yi.

"Your Excellency is Zhuge Kongming." Guo Jia arched his hand and said with a smile: "Why do you want to ask knowingly? In the next family, I was poor and didn't read much, but I learned a little about etiquette. Your Excellency and others know that we are under the order of our lord and the holy decree of Your Majesty, and lead the whole army to surrender to the king. And Your Excellency has come here from us, and he has no regard for the face of my Lord and the holy decree of His Majesty today. To put it seriously, you are not complying with the decree. Moreover, with Your Excellency reading poetry and books and being proficient in strategy, don't you know what Your Majesty wants most at this moment? If you miss Your Majesty's major affairs, I don't know if you can afford it? ”

"Guo Saijiu's words are very wrong! We are loyal to Your Majesty, so how can we say that we do not obey the decree? Your Majesty's decree has not reached us. It was news from Zilong. Guo Saijiu kept saying that we would not obey the decree, what is the reason? Could it be that Guo Saijiu has His Majesty's holy decree in his hands? Zhuge Liang was very good at arguing, and immediately began to refute.

Guo Jia was speechless for a while, this is really true, Liu Yu didn't give Zhao Yun any holy decree, just an oracle.

Zhuge Liang saw the opportunity and immediately took a fierce attack, and said with an unkind face: "If Guo Xijiu has His Majesty's will in his hands, please take it out, I will wait for the bath and change clothes, and listen to the holy decree." If not, Guo sacrificial wine, in the law of the Han Dynasty, those who falsely preach the holy decree will be beheaded all over the house! ”

Guo Jia squinted his eyes and stared at Zhuge Liang, feeling that Zhuge Liang seemed to be a routine with Liu Yu, seizing a little mistake from others and constantly reversing black and white. I just mentioned that if they didn't obey the decree, they would have to take out the holy decree themselves, so it was really hateful.

"Zhuge Kongming, his eloquence is indeed good, and he has the style of His Majesty today!" Guo Jia said what was in his heart.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel refreshed.

But he didn't feel happy for long, Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Lord Zhuge today, is it false that Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous and does his best for his subjects and people?" ”

"Indeed!" Zhuge Liang said without thinking.

Guo Jia smiled, waited for your words, and continued: "Then why do you want to corrupt the name of Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness here, and cause Your Majesty to be in a land of injustice and injustice!" ”

Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed, Guo Jia's words seemed wrong.

Guo Jia said without stopping: "This campaign! The people of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places have many livers and brains. The war is endless, and it is the people who suffer in the end. In order to end the campaign as soon as possible, His Majesty did not hesitate to risk his life and came to Shouchun in person. My lord feels your majesty's benevolence and righteousness, and is willing to obey your majesty's love for the people. Keer and others led the court and enjoyed the power bestowed by His Majesty, but he did not think of sharing his Majesty's worries, and once again put on the prestige of a victor, completely ignoring all the people under my lord's command. Have you ever thought about it, because of today's events, the two armies of you and me have risen again, and the war in Yuzhou continues. Now that His Majesty's plans have been completely destroyed, can you afford it? The two of you are constantly embarrassed by us, so you are not afraid of the world's comments? ”

Zhuge Liang didn't expect Guo Jia to directly explain everything, so he lost the interest of continuing to debate.

And Zhang Fei and the others changed their faces, if Cao Jun really rose up because of this, then this war would really be endless, not to mention Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou may not be stable.

Sima Yi had already comprehended Guo Jia's eloquence, and felt that if he continued to fight against him, it would be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, and it would even be endless.

At the same time, the threat in Guo Jia's words was obvious, if he wasted time here, Guo Jia said that he would not have to sue Liu Yu. At that time, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi will be a little difficult. Liu Yu needs to absorb all of Cao Cao's talents, if this matter spreads and is exaggerated by people with intentions, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi will become jealous villains, which is very unfavorable to their reputation.

"Guo Saijiu, in your opinion, your lord actually doesn't want to surrender to the imperial court?" Sima Yi said suddenly.

Guo Jia smiled heartily: "My lord has a heart, and Your Majesty has intentions, but you don't know what your intentions are." ”

Having said that, Liu Jun was a little embarrassed here. The atmosphere slowly turned against the generals of Liu Jun.

Zhuge Liang was still smart, smiled sassy, and said: "The world often says that Guo Jianai is a ghost!" Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation. In the next and Zhongda early heard the name of Mr. Fengxiao, what he did just now was nothing more than a joke! Mr. Bonghyo, don't take it to heart. ”

"Don't go to your heart? That's impossible! When I have the opportunity in the future, I must teach you two stinky boys a good lesson! "Guo Jia must have remembered this grudge.

Don't look at Guo Jia looking bohemian, in fact, his heart is not very big, like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are sarcastic and aimed at him, Guo Jia will not let go! But Guo Jia now has to take care of Cao Cao and all Cao Jun, so he can't show it.

Guo Jia said lightly: "The heroes cherish the heroes." In the coming day, I will do the east under the next, and sit down with the two of you to discuss, I don't know what the two of you think? ”

"Exactly what you want!" Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi said in unison.

They all know what Guo Jia means, this matter is not over, and they will have a chance to fight again in the future. After all, time is precious, and Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi feel that it is just right. If he really misses Liu Yu's big deal, God knows what Liu Yu will think.

The debate that had been prepared was over. It can be said that it was a draw. If you dig deeper, Guo Jia will win. After all, Guo Jia alone scolded Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi also comprehended the ability of the first person under Cao Cao, judging from the courage of Guo Jia to fight against the two of them, Guo Jia's talent and learning are bottomless.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun waited for Cao Jun to surrender to the generals, and their hearts were much more comfortable. They can finally pull back a game.

After such an episode, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were not interested in talking to Guo Jiagao, and they arranged Cao Jun's affairs first.

Zhuge Liang suggested that the army should be stationed here for the time being, and first sort out the number of Cao's army and other information, and play Liu Yu. As for Xiahou Yuan and other generals of the Cao army, they marched to Shouchun and met Liu Yu. Of course, it was not them who went by themselves, but General Liu Jun led them over. The military general who led them, Zhang Fei volunteered. Zhang Fei hoped that he could take this opportunity to get closer to the people of the Xiahou family and make up for the relationship between relatives.

This arrangement was unanimously agreed upon.

Then, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi jointly wrote a recital for Liu Yu, but ignored the details between himself and others and Guo Jia and others. This kind of unnecessary controversy, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi will not go down.

It's just that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi didn't know at all, no matter how much they covered it up, they were all reported by Liu Yu's "dark department" and finally sent to Liu Yu. And faster than their recitals!
