Chapter 235
"Yuan Tan agreed!?" Cheng Yu who returned to Xuchang met Guo Jia who came back at the same time. When he learned that Guo Jia had persuaded Yuan Tan, Cheng Yu's face was full of astonishment.

"Yeah." Guo Jia dragged him to the winery without any explanation. Hearing the words, he nodded as a matter of course, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Looking at Zhongde's expression, I think this trip to Jiangdong is not going well."

"I promised to form an alliance, but I never promised to send troops." Cheng Yu sat down, still looking at Guo Jia with some disbelief: "How did you talk about that Yuan Tan?"

In Cheng Yu's view, Yuan Tan's sending troops was a bit too absurd. He had no reason to send troops. No matter how you looked at it, it was far more in line with Yuan Shao to sit back and watch the tigers fight at this time than to participate in the end.

"Although he is Yuan Shao's son, Yuan Tan may not necessarily listen to Yuan Shao." Guo Jia poured Cheng Yu a glass of wine and said with a smile, "He needs to prove to Yuan Shao that his eldest son is capable of being Yuan Shao's heir!"

Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard the words. From the very beginning, Guo Jia did not persuade Yuan Tan from the overall advantages and disadvantages, but from Yuan Tan's personal advantages and disadvantages.

"Sure enough, I'm not suitable to be a lobbyist." After trying to understand the key point, Cheng Yu smiled wryly and shook his head and sighed.

"Don't underestimate yourself." Guo Jia asked someone to fill up his wine gourd, and then served another jar of good wine. He looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile, "Tell me about Jiangdong's experience, is Zhou Lang really that handsome? ?”

"It's very handsome. In terms of appearance, among the young heroes I've seen, perhaps only that Chu Ziyan can compare with him." Cheng Yu nodded, but then sighed: "Unfortunately, before you get old Decline, the ambition in the chest is gone!"

"Oh?" Guo Jia became interested, looking at him while drinking.

Cheng Yu recounted what he had seen and heard during his trip to Jiangdong. The young master Sun Quan was vacillating and had no opinion.

Guo Jia listened with gusto, interjecting a few sentences from time to time.

"Who do you think will not be frustrated in his life? When he encounters setbacks, he will give up on himself like this. He has no celebrity demeanor, but it is a pity that he has a talent." Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia and said.

After Guo Jia closed his eyes and thought for a long time, he looked at Cheng Yu: "Zhong De, if I were that Zhou Yu, I wouldn't talk to you!"

"Why?" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia in confusion.

"Sun Quan is as good as a master when it comes to power and strategy!" Guo Jia gave a serious comment. Sun Quan is by no means inferior to Cao Cao in terms of power and strategy. Of course, it is only in terms of power and strategy.

"This...impossible!" Cheng Yu shook his head in disbelief, thinking of Sun Quan's immature, hesitant look, and could not accept this possibility.

"Impossible?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "In the year of the weak crown, Jiangdong was stabilized within a few months. If it is as you said, Zhou Yu doesn't care about world affairs, Cheng Pu is more than strong, but not strategic. Who stabilized Jiangdong? Zhong Zhong Didn't De think that those Jiangdong gentry would give in easily at this time?"

"Don't laugh like that, it's quite intrusive!" Cheng Yu was a little uncomfortable when Guo Jia laughed, and shook his head. Thinking about it carefully, if it was really what he saw, it would be impossible for Sun Quan to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong , In other words, I was played like a monkey by these brats! ?
"Don't get angry!" Seeing Cheng Yu's gloomy face, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Those who seek power must be suspicious. At this time, Fang is in power. If Zhou Yu forces him to express his position at this time, he may not say much now, but in the future We must see each other for a long time! You have never seen that it is all because you underestimate others, are you a young man with a weak crown and can't do great things."

"This son's city is quite deep!" Hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Cheng Yu also had to sigh, not only was he not suitable to be a lobbyist, he was also inferior to Guo Jia in terms of judging people's hearts.

"But don't worry, I expect Jiangdong will fight!" Guo Jia took the wine gourd from the waiter.

"Why?" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia in confusion.

"If Zhou Yu was in power, he wouldn't take it lightly. However, the new lord ascended the throne, and now that the regime is in power, what we need to do now is to have military power in hand. Judging by Zhou Yu's attitude, I think he won't be monopolizing power, so..." Guo Jia Looking at Cheng Yu with an expression that you understand.

"So not only does he want to gain military power, but he also wants to use this to prove to Jiangdong that he is a strategic commander. Therefore, once our army fights Lu Bu at a critical moment, he will definitely take action. It is best to take the land of Jianghuai in one fell swoop?" Cheng Yu looked at it. Guo Jia, after he said that, many problems became clear at once.

"So, Zhongde's mission to Jiangdong this time is not considered a failure. Unless Lu Bu crushes our army, Sun Quan will definitely find an opportunity to make a move. Being able to form an alliance with him is a reason for him to make a move. We don't even need to Do anything else." Guo Jia stood up as he spoke, and walked out with a jug of wine by the way.

"Feng Xiao...you..." Cheng Yu stared in astonishment at Guo Jia who was walking out carrying the wine jar.

"I've been explaining brother Zhongde's confusion for a long time, and my mouth is dry. Zhongde invited me to drink some wine to moisten my tongue. If you don't want to do this, don't you refuse?" Guo Jia looked at Cheng Yu and asked with a smile.

Naturally, Cheng Yu didn't care about a little money, and looked at Guo Jia's back and said, "I wanted to hold a special banquet to thank you, and if you don't want to be filial, then you can..."

Before the words finished, Guo Jia had already sat back in his seat, looking at Cheng Yu with a smile: "When is the banquet?"

"Tonight!" Seeing him like this, Cheng Yu immediately laughed, and his heart was relieved a lot.

……

Lujiang, the camp of the new army.

"Emissary!" Wu Shuang rushed over with a carrier pigeon, and shouted at Chu Nan from a distance.

It was the lunch break, and on the school grounds, the soldiers gathered together in groups of three or four, eating, competing, and playing some puzzle games invented by Chu Nan. During the spare time during training, Chu Nan encouraged The soldiers were entertained.

Wu Shuang's voice was so loud that the entire barracks could hear her roar. Many people looked curiously at Chu Nan who was playing cards with Wei Yan and Huang Zhong on the stage.

"Call me the chief instructor!" Chu Nan sneered and played all the remaining cards in his hand, and sneered at the two generals who didn't know how to live or die. How could I lose to you with the rules of the game I set?

Wei Yan threw away the wooden sign in his hand, and glanced at Zhou Cang who was beside him.

How about playing with Zhou Cang next time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Huang Zhong, and just as he saw Huang Zhong also looking at him, the two had a tacit understanding, nodded slightly in tacit understanding, and then looked away.

"Urgent document!" Wu Shuang handed the white silk on the pigeon's leg to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan unfolded the white silk, looked at ten lines at a glance, frowned slightly, and then waved his hand: "Picture!"

"My lord, what happened?" Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan and asked, "But is it going to war?"

Now there is still some time before the March date, but the March date is also the result of their speculation at the beginning. It will be later or earlier, and everyone will not be surprised. Is it possible for the war to be settled?

Hearing this, Huang Zhong also looked at the white silk in Chu Nan's hand, and Wu Shuang stared at Lao Yuan.

"Why are the recruits so excited?" Chu Nan glanced at Wu Shuang and said, "Wars kill people, especially newcomers like you, who are most likely to die on the first battlefield!"

"If he dies in battle for the first time, it means that Wu Shuang is nothing more than that. He deserves to be like this, and no one can blame him!" Wu Shuang grinned with pride!

Generally, those who say such things usually die!
Chu Nan glanced at him, shook his head speechlessly, and ignored him, morale is a good thing!
"My lord, what happened?" Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan and said, "The new army is not elite, but there are enough to fight against ordinary enemy troops!"

"It's not yet time, but there is a troop dispatch on the Qingzhou side." While looking at the words on the white silk, Chu Nan compared the location of Qingzhou on the map, and marked several troop dispatches with arrows.

"Is this Yuan Tan planning to intervene in the battle between our army and Yuan Shao?" Huang Zhong looked at the arrows and frowned slightly: "Could it be that Cao Cao joined forces with Yuan Shao to attack?"

"Cao Cao wouldn't dig his own grave like this, and Yuan Shao wouldn't go south at this time. Gongsun has not been eliminated, and Yuan Shao doesn't care about the Central Plains right now." Chu Nan shook his head. He had already talked with Chen Gong and Liu about the reactions of the surrounding princes. Ye has discussed it many times, Yuan Shao is unlikely to be involved in the Central Plains dispute at this time.

Of course, if Yuan Shao had already wiped out Gongsun Zan, he might have taken advantage of this opportunity to plan something, but Yuan Tan's move definitely didn't look like it was made after careful consideration.

There is only one truth, Yuan Tan's own idea?

Chu Nan looked at the two of them, and asked after expressing his thoughts, "What do you two think?"

"If it's really Yuan Tan, the general thinks he won't send troops easily." Wei Yan looked at the map, shook his head at Chu Nan, and said, "No matter how stupid he is, he should understand the principle of profit from a fisherman."

If it is not handled well, it is very likely that Lu Bu will be used as the main force to fight. If he is beaten first, Yuan Tan will have to cry and faint.

Chu Nan also felt that Yuan Tan mobilized his troops this time for profit, and wanted to be a fisherman for profit in the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

But this fisherman is not easy to do.

Chu Nan groped his chin and fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Huang Zhong and the others stopped discussing and waited patiently. After a long time, Chu Nan came back to his senses. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said doubtfully, "Wait What are you looking at me for?"

"My lord, have you thought of a clever plan to take the opportunity to teach Yuan Tan a lesson?" Wei Yan asked hastily.

"No, and it's not suitable to do it at this time. It's tantamount to bringing Yuan Tan directly into this war, and we're facing the enemy." Chu Nan shook his head. Where in the world do we get so many tricks?When the power reaches a certain level, even conspiracies should not be used indiscriminately, as it is easy to deceive your own people.

"Then what have you been thinking about for a long time, my lord?" Wei Yan asked.

"I'm thinking, even Yuan Tan's side has talked, how will Jiangdong choose?" Chu Nan didn't hide it, he was very curious about how Jiangdong would choose.

"You are defeated." Wei Yan was not interested in this. After all, Jiangdong in his heyday was almost destroyed by them. Now Jiangdong seems to be worthless even if he makes a move. For fear that Chu Nan will transfer him to deal with Jiangdong, Wei Yan will directly belittle him.

"Forget it, Cao Cao's preparations are so detailed, and it's not too far away to launch an army. Hurry up and train. If you sweat more on weekdays, you will bleed less in wartime. Step up your training!"

"Here!"
