Guo Jia got on the boat and flew to the house, Sun Ce was standing in front of the flying house and waiting, Lu Yi took Zhu Ran to lay out the mat and was setting up the table. A few plates of dried fruits, a pot of freshly squeezed fruit pulp, although simple, but very precious, are all rare things. Guo Jia glanced at it and said with a smile: "The general has broken the bill." ”

"I'm also following you to open meat." Sun Ce smiled and raised his head to look into the distance. "My sister is bullying your son again?"

Guo Jia scratched his head, revealing a little helplessness. "This is his life, and there is no escape."

Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh and beckoned Zhu Ran. "You send two plates of fresh fruits, take care of the three generals and don't bully people."

Zhu Ran showed a look of embarrassment, and Lu Yi said, "General, I'll go." ”

"No, let him go." Sun Ce pointed at Zhu Ran. "You're thirteen, and you're still afraid of her, how can you lead the army to fight in the future? Go, no matter how scared you are, you have to pretend to be indifferent on your face. The more scared you are, the more arrogant she becomes. ”

"Ugh." Zhu Ran reluctantly responded, picked up two plates of melons and fruits, and went downstairs to the boat, looking sad.

Sun Ce sighed helplessly. "My sister has become a victim of Ge Pi, and everywhere she goes, the chickens and dogs are restless."

Guo Jia laughed, and without waiting for Sun Ce, he sat down first, picked up the cup and took a sip of fresh pulp. "General, I don't agree with your words. The third general is just naughty, but she never messes around, she is just domineering among her friends, and she is very respectful to others. You go and inquire, thirty miles near Gepi, who said that the three generals have injured innocents? ”

Sun Ce smiled. "If my sister is so good, why is your son crying so badly?"

Guo Jia's face suddenly collapsed. "It's my incompetence as a father, and I have too little time at home. This child is more than scheming and lacks courage, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to inherit his father's business in the future. He paused for a moment and said, "But the third general also needs a cautious military strategy by his side." It wouldn't be a good thing if Yi'er took the same risk as I did. ”

Sun Ce laughed and pointed at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, when did you learn to talk around the corner? As I've said, last time it wasn't me who took the risk, but it was forced by circumstances. If there was another option, I wouldn't do that. ”

Guo Jia raised his glass, gestured to Sun Ce, looked at each other and smiled. The two talked a few words, and Guo Jia took out two pieces of paper from his arms and pushed them in front of Sun Ce. Sun Ce put down the cup and took the paper. There were dense words written on the paper, which seemed a bit eye-catching, but Sun Ce did not fake his hands as usual, but read them word by word. Guo Jia is still resting, and the information sent to him is the most important, and the information that can make him personally rush to Ge Pi is undoubtedly the most confidential information, and the fewer people who know, the better.

Each piece of paper is a summary of intelligence, one from Yizhou and one from Chang'an.

After reading it, Sun Ce thought for a while, and then read it again, and then slowly folded the paper and returned it to Guo Jia. This information will not be included in the public documents, and will not be directly written into the history books in the future, and the most likely result will be destroyed and disappear forever in the long river of history.

"It's not easy to play Zhicai, but you actually made a heavenly fire to burn the city." Sun Ce sighed. "Cao Mengde hasn't been in Yizhou for half a year, right?"

Guo Jia collected the information, grabbed a handful of dried fruits, and peeled them slowly. "It's a few days away. This move to burn the city by heavenly fire is indeed powerful, and it kills multiple birds with one stone, which not only burns Liu Yan's ambition, but also burns the evidence, and Liu Yan's surrender should be a logical thing. However, this is only the surface of the cow dung, and the remaining problems have not been solved, which will be enough for him to have a headache in the future. The Kwantung family, the exiles, and the Heavenly Master Dao who followed Liu Yan into Shu also benefited the differences within the local scholar clan in the state, and these people were mixed together, and it was not so easy to solve. ”

"Didn't Cao Cao form an alliance with Madame Lu? What can be wrong with the Heavenly Master Dao? Sun Ce remembered the part where Cao Cao and Lady Daolu, the Heavenly Master, met in the river, and couldn't help laughing. Although there is only one sentence of intelligence, there is a lot of room for imagination. This Cao Cao is really ruthless, so anxious, he actually played boat shock with Mrs. Lu. It sounds cool, but it's unwise to think about it.

"The basis of the Heavenly Master Dao is the exiles, the people who have lost their land, and there is no foundation among the scholars. For Cao Cao, the best choice was to use the Heavenly Master Dao, not to form an alliance with the Heavenly Master Dao, let alone have a personal relationship with Madame Lu. The saints teach with Shinto, but in the final analysis, they are fools, and they will not believe it. The strength of the Heavenly Master Dao is not as good as the Yellow Turban, but the Zhang family has preached for more than dozens of generations, after three generations, Zhang Lu is young, Mrs. Lu is self-divine with Taoism, and her influence in the Heavenly Master Dao is stronger than Zhang Lu, she supports Liu Yan, Liu Yan can go against the crowd, she abandons Liu Yan, and Liu Yan is about to be defeated. Would such a person easily work for Cao Cao? ”

Sun Ce savored Guo Jia's analysis. History has turned a corner, and it seems to be very different, but some things are changed instead of medicine. Xun Yu entered Chang'an, the situation in the world changed greatly, although the imperial court was weak, but there was no defeat, Cao Cao entered Yizhou, Liu Yan was defeated, and the possibility of Liu Zhang's succession was gone, but the influence of Heavenly Master Dao was still there.

Historically, the first thing Liu Zhang did after succeeding to the throne was to kill Mrs. Lu, which led to Zhang Lu's break with him, and Hanzhong became a wound in Yizhou, bleeding endlessly. Later, Liu Bei was able to occupy the magpie's nest, and it was precisely because Liu Zhang couldn't deal with Zhang Lu that he asked Liu Bei to help. Although Liu Zhang is not the male master, it is impossible not to know the consequences of turning his face with Zhang Lu, and he may have killed Madame Lu because Madame Lu has too much influence in the Heavenly Master Dao. If he doesn't kill him, not only Hanzhong, but also the entire Yizhou may be controlled by Zhang Lu, and he may not be able to wait for Liu Bei to enter Sichuan.

Cao Cao wanted to form an alliance with Mrs. Lu, and he should have seen this. However, judging from the later development, Cao Cao's visit to the Yizhou Shi clan and his friendship with the Kwantung clan who followed Liu Yan into Shu, especially his personal visit to Lai Min and marrying Wu Yi's sister, were all routes to obtain the support of the Shi clan, which had little to do with the Heavenly Master Dao, or even went against it.

It is precisely for this reason that the hidden danger Guo Jia said will inevitably lead to conflict.

But Sun Ce has a different opinion, the Heavenly Master Dao is not the Taiping Dao, the Taiping Dao can be eye-to-eye with the party, why can't the Heavenly Master Dao take the upper line and integrate with the scholars? After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Tao of the Heavenly Master not only received the support of the scholars, but also had a good relationship with the family, and thus developed into the orthodoxy of Taoism, which for a long time was the representative of China's native religion, and many of the famous men were believers in the Tao of the Heavenly Master.

"Fengxiao, will Cao Mengde want to have both fish and bear's paws?"

"It's a possibility. But if this is done, Cao Mengde and Xi Zhicai may have a disagreement. Guo Jia picked up a kernel and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. That's where we can focus. If they can be separated, Cao Mengde is not afraid, and Jingzhou can be stable for a few years. ”

"Dividing Cao Mengde and Xi Zhicai?"

"That's right. Although Xi Zhicai came from a humble background, he was from Yingchuan, and he had the blood of scholars in his veins, and he had no chance to contact the real insider, and he didn't even know the relationship between the party and the Yellow Turban. In his opinion, these are two completely different routes, and they cannot be both. Cao Mengde can change with the times, but Xi Zhicai is unlikely. ”

Guo Jia paused. "He's very conceited."
