Liu Biao said that painting a scoop according to the gourd often only has its shape but cannot get its spirit. Some things seem simple, but if you really follow them, you may not become an anti-dog. Therefore, Liu Biao hopes that Guo Jia, an experienced policy proposer, can guide their work in Jingzhou.

Needless to say, although Liu Biao's language is very euphemistic, the meaning is also very clear. Liu Biao held Guo Jia so high before, just to take the opportunity to recruit Guo Jia. Guo Jia is such a famous strategist, and now he happens to pass through Jingzhou, this is simply an opportunity given to Liu Biao by God. Liu Biao is not blind, Guo Jia is a talent who has been valued and given important responsibilities by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Cao Ying, can Liu Biao watch such a piece of fat pass by his mouth and be indifferent?

For this kind of thing, Guo Jia couldn't have foreseen it, but he didn't worry too much, and directly and politely rejected Liu Biao's invitation. In fact, it is similar to the reason why he did not completely defect to Yuan Shao at the beginning, at that time, it was on the pretext that Dong Zhuo's father-in-law was not safe, and now Guo Jia is on the grounds that his son is not in the mood to do things.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Biao was obviously mentally prepared, otherwise Guo Jia might have left Cao Ying at this time? Obviously, Guo Jia regards the matter of having a son more than anything else, so even if Guo Jia really agrees to come to Liu Biao, Guo Jia will still leave before the problem of the heir is completely solved.

So Liu Biao continued to ask, asking Guo Jia if he would like to come back and take refuge in him after going to Lujiang this time. Rest assured, Guo Jia's treatment on Liu Biao's side will definitely not be worse than that on Cao Ying's side! And about the problem of Guo Jia's family, Liu Biao can also help find a way to solve it.

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Guo Jia's eyelids suddenly jumped, and for the first time, he had a different understanding of Liu Biao.

Guo Jia originally thought that Liu Biao was just like Yuan Shao, as long as he was a celebrity, he would subconsciously solicit it in order to express his love for talent to the world. As for this talent, he has really recruited it, how to use it, and whether it can be reused, Yuan Shao is a little unclear. Therefore, this is like completing a task, Yuan Shao is actually not really recruiting talents. Yuan Shao cares more about his own face than about the talent itself.

Liu Biao, after all, Guo Jia had not seen it beforehand, and he could only judge it according to the historical situation. Maybe Liu Biao is not very different from Yuan Shao, but Guo Jia knows better that Liu Biao came to Jingzhou single-handedly, and the chassis here was taken down with the help of the local scholars, which also led to the fact that the power of the scholars in Jingzhou has reached an unprecedented level of rebellion.

Thinking about Cao Ying's situation, when he already has a heavy army, he has to take care of those local scholars when he enters Yanzhou. Liu Biao came to Jingzhou without any private soldiers at all, and now it is good that he has not become a puppet emperor like Emperor Xian.

Therefore, when he left Yuan Shao, Guo Jia directly excluded Liu Biao's Jingzhou, because Guo Jia knew that there would be no place for him here, and the rights had already been divided by the local scholars in Jingzhou!

As a result, now, Liu Biao dared to make such a promise directly to Guo Jia! "Definitely not worse than on Cao Ying's side"? Do you want to know what kind of positioning Guo Jia is on Cao Ying's side? Even if you don't mention personal relationships, Guo Jia can't be called the first, and he won't fall to the second, it can be said that Cao Ying's current strategists are completely tied. If you count the private relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Ying, Guo Jia's status is obviously above Xun Yu and others!

Doesn't Liu Biao know about such a situation? No! Liu said that he knew such a situation, and dared to say this to Guo Jia, it was impossible for him to fool Guo Jia with a blank check! In other words, if Guo Jia came to Jingzhou, how could he be on a par with the local scholars such as Kuai Yue!

And who is Guo Jia? Guo Jia is definitely recognized as one of the most trouble-loving strategists today! Liu Biao spent such a big price to recruit such a Guo Jia, is there anything that doesn't want to make progress and only knows what it looks like to keep it? !

In this period of history, there are two heavyweights who have a very big contrast between the front and back, the first is Gongsun Zhan, and the second is Liu Biao. Gongsun Chan was belligerent in the early stage and stubbornly defended in the later stage, which was definitely a 180-degree turn. Such a huge contrast, if you really want to say it, you can also find some suitable reasons, such as Gongsun Chan can't afford to lose, and the reason why people are usually belligerent is not to enjoy the joy of victory!

Only a very small number of people can endure the grievances of repeated defeats and repeated defeats. So after losing to Yuan Shao several times in a row, Gongsun Chan finally became disheartened and simply stopped fighting, just enjoying his old age like that.

If Gongsun Chan is disheartened when he loses, then Liu Biao is even more strange. In Liu Biao's life, from the "white wolf with empty gloves", he won a huge Jingzhou without a single soldier, and later defeated Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji, these are absolutely difficult bones, and as a result, Liu Biao can be said to have almost never suffered any defeat!

Such a person who has grown from scratch and is invincible will not have any expansion**? Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? If there was no **, how could Liu Biao take Jingzhou in the first place? Isn't it that his ** is only as big as Jingzhou, even if he has the ability to be the emperor, he doesn't have the ** who wants to be the emperor?

Guo Jia used to think it was strange about these questions, but now Guo Jia understands a little. It is not Liu Biao who really does not want to forge ahead and keep it, but these local scholars in Jingzhou!

The so-called Cheng Ye Shi clan, defeated the Shi clan, Liu Biao himself has nothing, the direct result of relying on the ascendancy of these family families is that in such a place as Jingzhou, the power of the Shi clan has reached its peak, and even Liu Biao, the "emperor", has to take a look at the faces of these family families to do anything.

The scholars in Jingzhou probably saw this class very clearly and understood, Liu Biao had laid down other places, which was Liu Biao's personal honor and interests, but these Jingzhou scholars could not get any actual benefits, because they knew very well that there were local scholars in other places, and the Jingzhou scholars would not be able to interfere at all. Everyone is now under Liu Biao, is it possible to grab someone else's chassis? Even if all the scholars there were wiped out during the war, would Liu Biao let these Jingzhou scholars continue to sit on the throne? Obviously, in the end, Liu Biao will be like Cao Ying, directly occupy those lands and become the largest local scholar!

Under such a premise, will these Jingzhou scholars fully support Liu Biao to fight the world? Okay, Liu Biao will go to the head office by himself. What about people? Although Liu Biao now has soldiers, the general is Cai Mao and others, and the strategists are Kuai Yue and others, all of whom are local families, Liu Biao can't do all the big and small tasks alone, right?

Liu Biao is definitely not a person without ambition, but Liu Biao knows very well that if he wants to expand externally, he must first change the status quo. Therefore, Liu Biao needs a group of foreign talents who are not native scholars of Jingzhou to serve as his descendants to balance the forces under his command.
