Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 150

Guo Jia is about to collapse.

For more than half a month, the team set off from Yecheng and was about to reach Beixincheng, but he was extremely tired.

It wasn't because of walking, Yuan Xi arranged a carriage for him, but officials kept visiting him every day, so Guo Jia didn't have a good rest at all.

Guo Jia was full of doubts at first, but later found out that Yuan Xi had forcibly assigned him the position of a military advisor!

Guo Jia lost his temper and found Yuan Xi and said that he would never give advice, which made him die.

As a result, Yuan Xili said bluntly: "Brother Feng Xiao, you don't have an official salary, how can you support your wife and children?"

"In the Yecheng mansion, your wife's food and clothing costs, don't you need money?"

"Do you have the heart to let them suffer from cold and starvation?"

Guo Jia became angrier when he heard this, and shouted, "Didn't you bring them here?"

Yuan Xi spread his hands, "But they were implicated by you."

"Who made you offend my father?"

offend the fart!

Guo Jia finally figured it out. When he left Jizhou, how could he let Yuan Shao hold such grudges for the words he said casually to vent his anger?
It was Yuan Xi's excuse!

After Guo Jia was caught in Yuan Xi's house, Xin Ping Guo Tu, who had been friends with him, also visited him, and privately revealed to him the inside story of Dongwuyang's hostage exchange.

I was actually used to counteract Cao Cao's son!
Guo Jia couldn't figure it out even more, how could he be able to compare with Cao Cao's own sons?

However, every time he asked that nasty Yuan Xi, the other party always smiled and didn't answer, which made Guo Jia's teeth itch with hatred.

He found that Yuan Xi had a thick skin, his wife was still in the hands of the other party, and he had nothing to do with the other party!
Guo Jia made up his mind not to speak up, Yuan Xi only said that Guo Jia could do whatever he liked, but the official position could not be shirked, as long as the salary was received.

Guo Jia thought to himself, is there such a good thing?

But as batches of officials approached, Guo Jia gradually discovered that what Yuan Xi wanted was not that simple.

Free school and farmland, encourage agriculture and industry?

When he heard that Yixue also recruited the children of farmers and craftsmen to learn to read, he couldn't hold back even more. What does the Yuan family want to do?
Not only Guo Jia, but also the accompanying officials were discussing in private. Amidst such doubts, the team was getting closer and closer to Beixincheng.

Through the window of the car, Guo Jia saw the team leaving the valley, and the outline of Beixin City was faintly visible in the distance.

Suddenly, there was a faint commotion in the team, and some people began to shout in a panic.

The soldiers guarding the periphery of the team began to take out their weapons from the trucks around them and ran forward hastily, and the people in the middle of the team became even more flustered when they saw this.

Guo Jiaxin also mentioned it. He had learned about the situation in Beixincheng before. Is this the Black Mountain army from the west, or the Gongsun Zan army from the north?

Or the Southern Huns in Bingzhou, or even the Wuhuan Xianbei outside the pass?
While waiting anxiously, the news finally came that the ones ahead were not the enemy, but the people of Beixincheng.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no one wanted to travel long distances and be killed by the enemy for no reason.

Guo Jia's car followed the team up the hills, and below them was the vast plain and Beixincheng.

On the top of the hill, the team stopped again, and there was a sound of exclamation.

Guo Jia poked his head out and asked the coachman, "What's the matter?"

The coachman stood on the shaft and looked around, "People, there are a lot of people!"

Seeing this, Guo Jia also stood on the shaft of the chariot, straightened up, and looked down.

What caught his eyes were people all over the mountains and plains.

Like ants in an ant nest, they densely extend from the gate of Beixin City to the bottom of the hillside. On both sides of the road for more than ten miles, there are men, women, old and children, all dressed in different clothes, ranging from the very old to the young. There are all kinds of people.

Guo Jia's first reaction was, isn't this an escape?

But these people all stretched their necks, looking forward, obviously waiting for someone.

Seeing the team on the hillside, the people began to shout: "Is the young master back?"

In front of the team, Yuan Xi rode forward, raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone, I, Yuan Xi, am back!"

The crowd below the hillside swarmed over with a bang, Guo Jia thought in his heart that they were here to seek revenge on Yuan Xi, right?
The scene he imagined didn't happen. The crowd surrounded Yuan Xi, all with smiles on their faces, they all waved and shouted: "Young master is back!"

Guo Jia originally thought that this was specially arranged by Yuan Xi to create a reputation for himself, but he vaguely felt that it didn't look like it.

Yuan Xi jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "What are you doing so far? I'm going back to the city sooner or later, aren't I?"

The people all laughed, and someone said: "General Zhao went back to the city a few days ago and said that the young master will come back soon, we still don't believe it."

"My son is going to get married, why don't you stay for a year or so?"

"As a result, the military master who entered the city first yesterday said that the young master is back, so we came over to take a look. We didn't expect it to be true!"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Why, do you not believe that I will come back, or do you not want me to come back?"

Everyone laughed again: "Of course I did!"

Someone shouted: "Is the young master married?"

"Isn't the bride beautiful?"

Yuan Xi's face froze, "Some accidents happened, this time it didn't work out, let's talk about it next time."

There was a voice of regret in the crowd, and someone shouted: "Young Master, don't worry, there are some girls from good families!"

Immediately, he was slapped on the head by the person next to him, "Which pot is not open, which pot should be lifted!""

Someone shouted: "Young Master, why are you in such a hurry to come back?"

"With so many military masters, are we going to fight again?"

Yuan Xi shouted: "Let me just say one thing, the soldiers I brought this time are going to farm outside Beixin City to protect us from the Huns and Black Mountain bandits!"

"In a few days, I will issue a decree so that everyone can understand!"

"I promise, I will never let everyone suffer, on the contrary, everyone's life will get better and better!"

The common people roared, "We trust you, sir!"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Then go back to the city together, so as not to delay the meal!"

Seeing the people in Beixin City laughing and flocking to Yuan Xi and heading towards Beixin City, Guo Jia thought to himself that Yuan Xi seems to be very popular.

Having so many people come out is not like the behavior of the gentry deliberately acting to gain fame. Generally speaking, the gentry who are trying to gain fame cannot buy so many people.

Guo Jia was a little curious. Beixincheng seemed to have a story that he didn't understand.

But there is no need to make suggestions, I will endure it and see who can't bear it first!

A few days later, Yuan Xi found Qu Yi and arranged for the deployment of soldiers from the three cities and new generals. Now that he has conferred the captaincy on Qu Yi, he can also be in charge of a city.

As soon as he sent Qu Yi away, there was a knock on the door, and Yuan Xi said, "Come in."

Then he saw Guo Jia's smelly face.

Guo Jia covered his face and said, "I heard that you killed several gentry in Beixin City before?"

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Brother Feng Xiao also heard about it?"

"These people deserve to die for hoarding food. If they are killed, they will be killed."

Guo Jia hated iron but said: "How could you do this?"

"Even if you want to suppress the gentry, you can't be so obvious!"

"As a qualified protagonist, when the foundation is not stable, you should buy their hearts first. When you have a certain foundation, you can let them fight among themselves and weaken each other's checks and balances."

"In the end, when your general situation has been established, you can take action with confidence, catch what should be caught, and kill what should be killed, so that you will not be backlashed."

"How can you do the last step when you are in the first step?"

Yuan Xi laughed suddenly after hearing this: "Brother Feng Xiao, is this considered to be a counselor for me?"

"What a fart!" Guo Jia said violently, "I have learned a little about the situation these days, and found that Beixin City is surrounded by enemies, but you don't have any allies!"

"Supporting the army, do you really think that with a few thousand soldiers, you can fight head-on with hundreds of thousands of enemies?"

Yuan Xi laughed secretly, he was really not very particular about some things, which made Guo Jia's mentality unbalanced.

He said with a smile: "At that time, the city was about to fall, and there were still people hoarding food. If I didn't do this, even I wouldn't be able to survive."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Even so, you can't do it yourself."

"This kind of thing, just let the subordinates do it, and then punish the subordinates afterwards, isn't the subordinate just used to do this kind of dirty work?"

Yuan Xi thought of the allusion that Cao Cao used for the first time when he was short of food, and said: "Since you are the master, your hands will never be clean."

"Besides, I'm not a good person."

"What my subordinates do, I do."

Guo Jia was stunned for a while, muttered something, turned around and left.

Yuan Xi didn't care too much, everyone has their own way of life, in this troubled world, if you want to be alone and don't get your hands dirty, that's not your own style.

Just do it, as a person of later generations, he doesn't have any moral and psychological burden.

Guo Jia walked in the mansion, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Regardless of whether Yuan Xi is pretending or not, but being able to say this shows that at least he will not openly take the blame from his subordinates.

Guo Jia came to Beixin City for the past few days, although he said that the things in the city had nothing to do with him, but as officials continued to visit, he still had a general understanding of the situation in Beixin City, and also understood why Yuan Xi was so popular among the people.

Eating and sleeping together with the soldiers and the people, defending the city and taking the lead is not something that just any lord can do.

What Guo Jia admired even more was that Yuan Xi, who was able to do such a thing, obviously had a lot of ambition.

If the lord has no ambitions, as a counselor under his command, wouldn't it be a secret investment of the pearl, wasting his life?
A group of young ladies came to meet Guo Jia, and hurriedly stood aside to make way for Guo Jia.

Seeing them all bowing their heads, Guo Jia giggled at himself, remembering that these were concubines Yuan Xi raised in the mansion.

I heard that there are dozens of concubines, Yuan Tan took four, Xun Chen took four, and now there are more than 20 left in the mansion.

Guo Jia also heard from Sun Li, a soldier next to Yuan Xi, that Yuan Xi said that whoever is willing to treat them kindly can take them home.

Guo Jia discovered that Yuan Xi's hobbies were quite similar to his own in this regard!

Seeing the little girls talking and laughing at Yan Yan, Guo Jia suddenly felt a little agitated in his heart.

He smiled and put on the appearance of a son of a noble family, and said to Xiao Niang: "Which of you would like to be my Ji concubine?"

Unexpectedly, the girls covered their mouths with their sleeves and laughed, and one of them said: "Mr. Feng Xiao, don't blame me, the young master has orders. Others can, but the master can't."

Guo Jia was angry, "Why can't I?"

The young lady smiled and said: "Because the young master said that the master only takes money and does nothing, so he can't do anything."

Guo Jia stared dumbfounded at the little lady leaving, thinking that Yuan Xi was murdering someone!
