In such situations, Guo Jia was always looking for his allies.
Guo Jia is actively searching for those within Jiangdong who harbor disloyal intentions.
A man like Guo Jia!
The reason he was able to succeed as a strategist and often come up with brilliant plans for Cao Cao was not because he was particularly intelligent, but because he understood people's hearts and human nature.
People are driven by nothing more than money, fame, power, and status.
Sun Ce was a brave man, needless to say.
Judging from Sun Ce's current demeanor, he is quite composed, unlike his earlier years when he rode alone. If Sun Ce has any weakness, it lies in the woman beside him.
This woman, who was respectfully addressed as Lady Da Qiao, was so highly regarded by Sun Ce, yet he did not confine her to his inner courtyard, but instead allowed her to come out and show her face in public.
How many men would be watching such an important occasion?
Does Sun Ce really not care? Isn't he jealous?
Guo Jia didn't believe it.
Since surrendering to Sun Ce, Yan Baihu has remained indifferent and unresponsive.
Taishi Ci, who surrendered to Sun Ce a few years earlier than Yan Baihu, had already become the magistrate of Haihun County, leading a large force to guard the area for Sun Ce and was highly valued.
Yan Baihu has always been an awkward figure, as Xu Zhao and Xu Gong, who were his contemporaries and on the same front, are both dead.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Guo Jia quietly walked up to Yan Baihu and gave him a wink.
Yan Baihu had a very close relationship with Cao Cao in his early years.
But such closeness must never be known to Sun Ce or the people of Jiangdong; it cannot be made public.
Yan Baihu pretended to need to urinate, left the banquet hall, and walked around the corridor to a secluded courtyard.
Guo Jia followed him out.
Yan Baihu looked around, but there was no one there.
"Speak, Mr. Guo, what do you have to say?"
Guo Jia gave a wonderful smile.
"Now that Brother Baihu has found the Wutong Tree, Guo Jia has nothing to say."
Yan Baihu was a rough man. Although he had dealt with Cao Cao many times, he didn't quite understand the refined language of someone like Guo Jia.
"What are you talking about, sir? Why would I need a sycamore tree?"
Guo Jia laughed again.
He sarcastically remarked that Yan Baihu was a fallen phoenix who had climbed onto Sun Ce's parasol tree, a phoenix perched on a parasol tree.
Irony.
Unfortunately, Comrade Yan Baihu couldn't understand.
Yan Baihu said, "Sir, you gave me a meaningful look. Speak your mind! How could Cao Cao not know that I have a grudge against Sun Ce? He killed my brother, and I had no choice but to surrender to him."
Xu Gong and Xu Zhao are also dead. I am in Jiangdong, but I can't find a place to stay!
If Cao Cao still needs someone by his side, please put in a good word for me, and I will definitely flee to Xuchang in the dead of night..."
Guo Jia smiled again.
This Yan Baihu is truly a tiger in appearance but a tiger in heart.
"Brother Baihu, don't be impatient. You have your advantages in Jiangdong. Your brothers from your early years are now scattered in different places. Although they are no longer following you, there must still be some bond between you! They are just lying in wait here, waiting for their chance!"
Speaking of waiting for the right opportunity.
Yan Baihu was worried.
He's waiting for an opportunity. Waiting for what opportunity? What opportunity could he possibly be waiting for?
Sun Ce is not only a great warrior!
Even a turtle son can govern a city-state well.
Nowadays, people are enthusiastically engaged in agriculture, commerce, and healthcare, and few would want to be bandits anymore.
In addition, Sun Ce was strong and healthy, and his son was already five or six years old, had started reading, and was said to be intelligent and quick-witted.
Jiangdong has successfully cultivated a successor.
In the years that Yan Baihu had been in Jiangdong, he had, to be honest, gathered quite a few haters of Sun Ce and had secretly made contact with them.
Many people were eager to find an opportunity to kill Sun Ce.
But I couldn't find the time to kill it.
The hatred in Yan Baihu's heart had just faded from his brow when it rose again in his mind, and he couldn't help it.
Guo Jia then told Yan Baihu that there was an opportunity now and that he should not be discouraged.
Yan Baihu's eyes lit up.
"What opportunity? Is it the opportunity to build a palace for His Majesty the Emperor? Pshaw! Are you kidding me? A palace? Sun Ce can't possibly move stones and bricks himself. His defenses are like an iron barrel, layer upon layer. No outsiders can get in, let alone if it's targeted at him!"
Even his inner courtyard and back house, his son, his beloved wife, and his beloved wife's family—none of them could do anything about it!
We've tried it, we've all tried it, we've explored the path.
Otherwise, do you think I, the King of White Tiger Mountain, would be stuck here like a coward?
"Isn't it something that can't be helped?"
Guo Jia simply extended one finger and waved it repeatedly in front of Yan Baihu.
It means no no no
Strike the snake at its vital spot.
Sun Ce's Achilles' heel was clearly not his own.
Seeing that Yang Baihu didn't understand no matter how he reminded him.
Guo Jia had no choice but to spell it out: "Lady Da Qiao!"
After saying this, Guo Jia flicked his sleeves and left.
Liu Yanbaihu stood in the courtyard, hands on his hips, eyes wide, neck held high, fuming.
Pshaw, do you think he's a three-year-old?
He didn't know?
Why didn't he try to get involved with Sun Ce's wife?
The key is to give him a chance!
Two years earlier, someone within the Sun family had attacked Sun Ce's inner court, killing his first wife, Lady Gu, and then drowning his second wife, who was also Lady Gu. Ironically, these events gave Da Qiao an opportunity to turn her life around.
Everyone thought Da Qiao would be just as easy to deal with, but after trying many times, they failed every time and instead, Da Qiao captured them each time.
