The moment Guo Jia finally stopped the sound, Gongsun Zan and Xun You suddenly felt their hearts in their throats, for fear that Li Li would be furious and punish Guo Jia, and even harm Chi Yu, and vent their anger on him. {

At this moment, the big tent was extremely quiet, and the needle could be heard.

It was not until Li Li suddenly spoke that he broke the silence: "It is better to provoke the generals than to ask for him. Unexpectedly, Fengxiao actually used the provocation method to me. However, Fengxiao said nothing without reason. This daughter of Lu Bu had nothing to do with me, and Lu Bu could do anything to betrothed to anyone. But Lu Bu actually accepted the betrothal gift, but pretended that nothing happened. Could it be that he thought that I, Li Li, could not bully me? Since he accepted the betrothal gift, his daughter was my Li Li's concubine. How could I allow others to covet it?"

After speaking, Li Li stood up and said in a deep voice: "If you send another gift to Lu Bu, I will marry Lu Lingqi in three days. If Lu Bu refuses, it will be despised me and I will kill you! Go quickly and do not delay!" Leaving this murderous words, Li Li shook his sleeves and walked out of the tent, and drove the King of Jinzhan and went straight to the east camp.

"Fengxiao, look at the good things you did!"

Li Li left the commander's tent, and Xun You couldn't help but condemn Guo Jia, and said with lingering fear: "Look at what you have made your lord aura? Fortunately, your lord is generous and doesn't care about you. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to take the blame if you don't die, and you will have to peel off your skin even if you don't die!" Although Xun You just joined Li Li's command recently, he and Guo Jia are old acquaintances and have a close friendship. Therefore, although he is currently in the position of joining the army, he dares to bluntly criticize the military advisor Guo Jia.

Before Xun You finished speaking, Gongsun Zan continued: "The military advisor was indeed a bit rash just now. If the lord was angry and took his anger on the military advisor, I am afraid that we would be powerless. We can't speak at all. Fortunately, the lord is wise and tolerant, and knows that the military advisor is just a fact, not deliberately arranged the lord. However, the military advisor should know that some things are clearly known but cannot be clearly pointed out in person, just like what I just said. Although the military advisor avoids the important and speaks very tactfully, it is difficult to escape the suspicion of slandering the lord in person, which is to say that the lord is cowardly and afraid of things. As a result, the women are taken away by others. This is the lord's graceful and generous, and he did not blame you on the spot. If it were other princes, even if I, Gongsun Zan, I am afraid, I will inevitably take my anger on you and will never give up on you lightly."

Gongsun Zan said this more severely, but it was also true to be honest and blunt. It was not too much. Obviously, what Guo Jia said just now was indeed a bit suspicious of being the best. It was a taboo statement. No prince could tolerate the ministers under his tent slandering him in front of him.

While Xun You and Gongsun Zan were talking one after another, Guo Jia let out a long sigh, and a flush appeared on his cheeks, which were originally calm and unpredictable, and dense beads of sweat as big as red beans overflowed on his forehead. Indeed, his calm expression was pretending, but in fact, he forced his inner anxiety to suppress his inner anxiety and deliberately showed a calm and relaxed look, prompting the words he just said to have the due effect.

Sure enough, Li Li was successfully angered by him, or was convinced by him and decided on the marriage in person. At this point, Guo Jia's aggressive method achieved the expected effect, and promoted the marriage between Li Li and Lu Lingqi in one fell swoop.

As long as Li Li has made up his mind, this marriage is a foregone conclusion and cannot be escaped no matter what. This is the king's golden promise, and it cannot be changed after a word is made. Regardless of whether Lu Bu agrees or not, Lu Lingqi can only be Li Li's concubine in this life. Even if she dies, she will be the ghost of the Li family.

After finally calming down, Guo Jia gently rubbed his stiff cheeks, turned his head to look outside the tent, and sighed softly: "I was forced to do this, so I had no choice but to make this bad decision! In the past, I once boasted to my lord, threatening that one day Lu Bu would willingly surrender to his lord, and then serve him. For this reason, I tried my best to convince my lord to accept this marriage. At that time, the lord had agreed. But you and both of you saw it just now. The lord was not enthusiastic about it and did not take the marriage seriously at all."

After a pause, Guo Jia's tone suddenly changed and said, "However, the safest and most direct way to subdue Lu Bu is to try to marry his daughter to his lord. Only in this way can he completely dispel his concerns, and willingly follow his lord, fight for his lord, and pacify the world. This kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone would definitely be unsuccessful if other princes wanted it and would accept it happily, but it would be a difficult task to fall on our lord, and it would be almost impossible to complete.

The two of you may also know that in the past two or three years, to be precise, since the lord met Mrs. Meng Xin, he has begun to restrain his mind. Except for the lord's wife, he is almost not close to women. Not to mention the distance, just talk about the more than a year of dying in Youzhou, even Guo Jia and the generals in the army couldn't help but steal fish in private, but the lord never let Meiji serve him. I believe General Gongsun knows this better than me, because General Gongsun has presented dozens of Meiji to the lord's wife, but he didn't want any of them."

Gongsun Zan nodded in response and said, "That's true. When I gave my lord more than 30 beautiful girls, I was all backed by my lord. At that time, I mistakenly thought that my lord thought the beautiful girls were not good, so I reluctantly gave my favorite concubine to my lord. Unexpectedly, I was sent back by my lord. Therefore, when the lord led his army to fight in Youzhou, he was indeed not close to women. All the maids who served were in a perfect body, and after the war, they were rewarded to meritorious generals as wives and concubines."

What Gongsun Zan said surprised Xun You. Because he had heard that Li Li was lustful and lustful. Ye Yu several daughters were happy. Even when he led his troops to fight, he brought many beautiful girls to the army and his reputation of lust spread all over the world. However, what Guo Jia did and what Gongsun Zan said at this moment undoubtedly completely subverted the rumors that Li Li was lustful and had no idea. It took him a while before he woke up, he realized that the rumors could not be believed, and he secretly glad that he had finally met the wise master. His uncle Xun Chen finally did something reliable and did not deceive himself.

Perhaps because he noticed that Xun You looked strange and was suspicious, Guo Jia said confidently: "It is reasonable for the lord to become famous at a young age. However, the lord's reputation is far-reaching, and some family affairs are also rumored to be rumored. Marrying a few confidants is said to be romantic and lustful. Even if there are more than a dozen lords and wives in the mansion now, it sounds like there are quite a few people, but there are not many officials who have served in the mansion now. Among them, there are quite a few beautiful maids who have been in bed. Almost all maids in the backyard are concubines. If these concubines who have an affair with their master are concubines, there are at least ten, hundreds, or even more.

Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about the three of us now. There are not many wives and concubines in name, but only three wives and four concubines. However, if all the maids who have served in bed have been included, there are at least a dozen people, and the number is much larger than the number of wives and concubines in the name of the lord. But the lord is different from me. He never lets maids serve in bed, but all the women who have served in bed have been married. Now, more than a dozen maids and wives from the General's Mansion of Chang'an come from this."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun You and Gongsun Zan looked at each other and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing to Guo Jia's speculation.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "It is precisely because the lord has become more and more steady and hard-pressed in recent years that this thing that was originally easy to do has become extremely difficult. The lord does not let go or speak, even if we have made every plan, it will be useless. The thing that could have been easily decided has become difficult now. I have followed my lord for many years and know that although my lord is very clear about the righteousness, he is very independent in some matters and will not let go easily, such as taking a concubine.

So as the lord said just now, it is better to provoke the generals than to persuade the lord to change his mind. Instead of persuading the lord to change his mind, it is better to change the method and directly anger the lord, which will make the goal easier to achieve. As I expected, although the lord revealed my intention in one sentence, he was still angry. Looking at the world, there are very few princes who dare not take the lord seriously, and the lord's reputation and reputation cannot be violated. Therefore, the lord knew that I had used the trick of provoking, but he still agreed to the marriage. As long as the lord speaks openly, this originally difficult thing will be simple and everything will be solved."

After hearing this, Xun You and Gongsun Zan thought about something and nodded in agreement. Xun You walked to Guo Jia lightly and said with concern: "The heart of Fengxiao is really admired by my brother. But has Fengxiao ever thought about how to explain it? Such words that violate taboos like today are actually a taboo for our ministers and cannot be easily touched, otherwise it will inevitably lead to death.

I thought that my brother had done so that his lord was very unhappy, but he just endured it for the time being and would not be punished sooner or later. I should know that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Those who are the ruler can tolerate the disadvantages of their subordinates, but cannot tolerate the subordinates committing their crimes. Therefore, if you want to be aware of the crime as soon as possible, you should ask for guilt as soon as possible, otherwise you will be able to say this to your brother and take care of yourself."

After saying that, Xun You did not stay any longer and quickly left the tent and began to handle the matters given by Li Li.

Guo Jia bowed and watched Xun You leave. At this time, Gongsun Zan walked to him and said softly: "If you say good words to me, the military advisor must be aware of it. Although the military advisor's actions are all for the sake of the lord and have been with him for many years, since ancient times, the military advisor has been different. The military advisor is the minister of the lord at any time. Even if the lord is broad-minded and does not care about the details, maintaining the majesty of the lord is the foundation of the minister. The last general also suggested that the military advisor take the initiative to apologize, and it should be sooner rather than later to avoid the brink of the lord." Compared with Xun You's extremely implicit advice, Gongsun Zan's words were undoubtedly more straightforward and clearly expressed the profound meaning hidden in Xun You's words.

Guo Jia nodded slightly, then bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, General Gongsun, so I went to take the thorns and apologize. If you were to ask for help, the general arranged for the army to withdraw from Lu Bu's camp and go to the east to set up camp."

"The responsibility is indecisive, and the military advisor is not polite." Gongsun Zan bowed and returned. Then the two walked out of the tent and commanded the army to move to the east camp. Gongsun Zan followed the army, while Guo Jia turned over and led his personal soldiers to go straight to the east camp.
