Free Web NovelChapter 156: Changes in Jingzhou!
Of course, all of this is contingent upon Long Chen’s ambition.
If Long Chen’s ambition is like that of Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, coveting regional power to become a regional warlord, then Guo Jia would surely turn and leave.
Such a character is not worthy of Guo Jia’s assistance.
However, when Long Chen heard Guo Jia’s question, he immediately showed a happy expression, blurting out the prepared script without hesitation.
It was almost identical to what he had said to Xi Zhicai earlier.
It was nothing more than dedicating himself to dominating the world, aspiring to conquer the Central Plains, and sweeping across the Eight Wildernesses!
In his words,
Long Chen also revealed the news about the former emperor Liu Bian staying in Jiujiang County.
Long Chen wasn’t afraid of Guo Jia spreading the news.
After all, today, either he would join me, or he would die under the assassination of the Brocade Guards...
Sure enough,
Upon hearing this shocking news, Guo Jia was absolutely stunned.
Even in his calm eyes, there was an unprecedented storm!
"What!!! You actually have the former emperor Liu Bian hidden away!!!!"
After the shock, Guo Jia’s eyes instantly revealed an incomparable fanaticism.
The object of his fanaticism was naturally not Liu Bian, but Long Chen’s overall perspective and his early planning.
He exclaimed repeatedly, "I never expected General to have such a plan, such strategy. Guo Jia has underestimated General!!"
"Ding! Five-star strategist Guo Jia’s affinity towards you has increased to 73."
A gleam flashed in Long Chen’s eyes.
Haha! It worked!
The affinity has already increased to 73, and Guo Jia is willing to join my side!
Seizing the opportunity, Long Chen spoke up:
"Master Guo Jia, you’ve overpraised. When it comes to strategy, I only admire Mr. Xi!"
"I have a request that I hope Mr. Xi will agree to!"
"I hope Mr. Xi will come out of seclusion to assist me, striving for dominance and hegemony! Let’s work together to create a bright future for the people of China!!!"
"Ding~ Five-star strategist Guo Jia’s affinity towards you has increased to 75."
At this moment,
Guo Jia didn’t hesitate for a moment, kneeling down.
He bowed solemnly:
"Please allow me to bow to you, Master!"
"From now on, I am willing to follow by your side, assisting you, General, in achieving an eternal great cause!"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen quickly lifted Guo Jia’s hands, looking at him excitedly.
He laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Today, today is truly a day of celebration!!!"
"To obtain such a great talent as you, Master Guo Jia, is truly my fortune! It is also the fortune of the people of the world!!!"
Xi Zhicai also genuinely smiled beside him.
Now that the master had another close friend to assist him,
I’m afraid half of the world domination has already been achieved! Hahaha!!!
After obtaining Guo Jia’s allegiance, Long Chen immediately opened his attribute panel through the system. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

...
It can only be said that Guo Jia is truly worthy!
The limit of his strategy value actually reaches 109!!!
Two points higher than Xi Zhicai!!
Saying Guo Jia is the ceiling of strategists is not an exaggeration!
Moreover, he has two skills, one SS grade and the other SSS Divine grade!!!
And looking at the mythical beast he practices in his martial arts, it’s actually the most intelligent divine beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas—White Zeal.
It is rumored that the White Zeal understands all things and has even taught the Yellow Emperor!
From this perspective, Guo Jia is truly a divine strategist!!!
With such terrifying attribute values!
But unfortunately... he also has the talent Heaven’s Envy of Heroes.
This will lead to Guo Jia’s early demise!
In history, Guo Jia fell ill on the way to the Northern Expedition with Cao Cao in 207 AD and passed away, at the young age of only thirty-eight.
Most people are at their most energetic during this age, but Guo Jia, with the talent of "Heaven’s Envy of Heroes," has already passed away...
Long Chen’s originally joyful mood suddenly became heavy.
In other words, if before 207 AD, he couldn’t find a cure for Guo Jia’s curse or a renowned doctor to help, Guo Jia would still die young.
Long Chen silently said in his heart, "Rest assured, Fengxiao. Since you have joined my side and become my man, I will not let you die young like the historical trajectory..."
Long Chen’s unusual expression naturally didn’t escape the eyes of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia.
Guo Jia asked with a puzzled fist, "Lord, what’s wrong? Why do you look so heavy?"
"Ah... oh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about how to proceed next!"
Long Chen buried this topic in his heart. It’s better not to let Guo Jia know about this sorrowful matter.
It’s like a modern cancer patient,
If you tell them they don’t have cancer, maybe they can live a few more years,
But if you tell them the seriousness of the illness, they may become increasingly pessimistic and depressed.
Exacerbating the condition!
And historically, Guo Jia died of illness on the northern journey. As long as he pays attention, he should be able to delay it a bit longer.
Long Chen thought to himself.
Then he said seriously:
"Now that the Mountain Yue in Danyang County has been pacified, the influential families, powerful clans, and nobles in the county have also obeyed me. The internal problems have been resolved!"
"It’s time to expand outward while Yuan Shao in the north is too busy to care about the south!"
At these words, Guo Jia calmly asked:
"I wonder where the Lord’s next target is?"
"Lujian County!!!"
Long Chen said decisively.
"Lujian County is located at the junction of Yangzhou and Jingzhou."
In the west of Lujian County is Jiangxia County of Jingzhou, which is also the guard area of Huang Zu in Jingzhou.
Yes, it’s the fierce man who shot Sun Jian in the Three Kingdoms!
And in the east of Lujian County is Long Chen’s Jiujiang County and Danyang County.
Just as Guo Jia was about to speak, a hurried shout came from outside the door.
"Report!"
A spy burst into the prefectural government.
Kneeling on one knee, he urgently said:
"Reporting to the Lord, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are about to join forces to attack Jingzhou!!"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen stood up from his seat in shock.
"What!!?"
