The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 114 Harmony

Until he died, Xu He would never understand whether he died because of his own overreach, or because of Gao Shun's faction of being strong and brave.

Guo Jia didn't want to waste his time talking about him anymore. The Yizhou gentry deliberately tried to shake the foundation of Guo Jia's rule from within the Taiping Army. Anyone with a little resourcefulness could see that Xu He was a pawn used by the Yizhou gentry to kill people with swords. Xu He, who had difficulty leading his actions, did not know who was the one who really drove him to a dead end until his death.

"Zhang Yan, all the loyal soldiers under Xu He's command will be killed, and those who are willing to make meritorious deeds and atonement will be merged into your command. After three days of recuperation in Chengdu, you lead the army to Jiangyang County to stabilize the situation in the south. If the southern barbarians want to take advantage of the fire to loot , how do you deal with it?"

After Xu He was taken down and beheaded, Guo Jia sat back on the main seat, and after recovering for a while, he was already at peace.

Zhang Yan went out and clasped his fists and said resolutely: "If the southern barbarians dare to go north to attack, the soldiers and horses below [-] will definitely let the opponent come and go. If the army of more than [-] comes, the enemy will definitely be rejected. Thousands of miles away."

Guo Jia doesn't care if these bold words are exaggerated, but Zhang Yan's pride is what he wants!
Everyone in the hall also looked at Zhang Yan with admiration, at least this courage is enough to be admirable.

Xu He, the leader of the rebel army, has been dealt with, but there are still accomplices at large, so Xi Zhi came out to ask Guo Jia how to treat the wealthy nobles who assisted Xu He.

When Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he returned to the line, bowed his head solemnly, and there was no sound in the hall. Everyone held their breath and waited for Guo Jia's decision, because Guo Jia's words could decide thousands of lives.

Rebellion is a capital crime that cannot be tolerated, and if the criminal law is reduced, even if the three clans are not implicated, the clan of the party involved will basically be unable to escape the disaster.

If they are treated lightly, it will damage Guo Jiawei's reputation, and if they are punished severely, it may force the nobles and powerful families in Yizhou to fight against each other. This decision still has advantages and disadvantages.

After sitting in the main seat and meditating for a while, Guo Jia opened his mouth and said calmly: "The clans and nobles who rebelled in Chengdu will kill the chief villain, and the followers will be imprisoned for the time being. The same is true for the nobles and nobles in other counties. There is no need to kill them all."

The counselors headed by Xi Zhicai frowned, but the generals were filled with righteous indignation, as if they felt that such a punishment was too light.

The rebels deserved to die, and if their families were not wiped out, there might be disasters in the future.

But when everyone saw that the play Zhicai who had asked Guo Jia for instruction just now did not appear on the list, they all suppressed their indignation.

Xi Zhicai had weighed the pros and cons, and guessed a little bit of Guo Jia's intentions.

At this moment, the Yizhou gentry and nobles must be nervously watching the movements in Chengdu to see how Guo Jia will deal with the rebellious clans. Once Guo Jia plans to kill them all, they will all be in danger and then huddle together to rebel against Guo Jia, and Guo Jia can't Forgive the rebels. This is rebellion after all. It is not a dispute for power and profit, but life and death depend on the killing of the First World War. Guo Jia must punish them, but only kill the chief culprit. It will make the Yizhou nobles and nobles hesitate, and they will have different opinions. As long as the Yizhou nobles and nobles cannot work together, even if there is trouble, it will not cause too much trouble.

The defeat of Jingzhou, everyone knew the process in detail, and at the same time, the wariness that had just been let go was suspended again. Jingzhou used to be a land of no man. Now, Liu Biao, the clan clan of the Han Dynasty, rose to Jingzhou. Guo Jia, who lives in Yizhou and is at odds with the Han Dynasty, Must be strictly guarded against.

There are powerful enemies outside and hidden dangers inside. Guo Jia's strategy of winning the world must also be changed at this time. Stabilizing the inside and eliminating hidden dangers is the top priority.

Guo Jia, who had just rushed back to Chengdu, asked everyone to go down to rest first. The road had to be taken step by step. Let Zhang Yan lead the army to Jiangyang County to settle down first, and then explore Zhang Baiqi's movements. No matter what Guo Jia wants to do, the army must complete It's completely in my hands, and there can't be any troubles here.

Wenwu saluted and left in an orderly manner. Guo Jia stared at the blood on the floor of the hall, dazed. After a long time, he got up, put on his cloak, and walked outside.

"Go to Cai Mansion."

Under the escort of personal guards led by Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi, Guo Jia came to the gate of Cai Mansion. The gate of the mansion was wide open, Guo Jia didn't ask anyone to pass on the message, he raised his leg, stepped over the threshold, and walked inward.

Diao Chan, who was playing with Guo Ye in the courtyard, suddenly saw Guo Ye running outside, opened his mouth and called Dad, turned around to look, his beautiful eyes widened, and there was a sense of surprise in it.

Facing the son who was swaying towards him, Guo Jiasheng was afraid that he would fall, so he leaned over and picked him up with open arms, and kissed him on the face of his son. Amid Guo Ye's laughter, Guo Jia strode towards the room. go.

Diao Chan saluted Guo Jia shyly, not daring to lift her head, her white and tender face was flushed, when Guo Jia passed by her, she reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "Diao Chan, Taking care of Ye'er, you are tired."

Although Guo Jia has never taken care of children, he feels overwhelmed when he thinks about it.

Diao Chan shook her head slightly, touching the cheek pinched by Guo Jia, it was so hot.

"The young master is smart and well-behaved, and the slaves are not tired at all. I heard that you, general, have caught a cold, and I wonder if you feel better..."

In the end, only Diao Chan could hear her voice.

Guo Jia hugged her son, turned her head to stare at Diao Chan who dared not look at him, flicked her forehead, and when Diao Chan raised her head aggrievedly, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Have I become ugly? "

Diao Chan blinked, blushed and looked at Guo Jia seriously, finally lowered her head again and shook her head.

Guo Jia pinched her chin, feeling comfortable and soft, and asked helplessly, "Then why don't you dare to look at me when you talk? Did you hear that I killed someone again? Are you afraid? You weren't like this before. "

Diao Chan shook her head suddenly, covered her face and ran towards the backyard, the voice in the wind carried an incomprehensible cry.

"The general is very kind to the servant, and the servant also respects the general from the bottom of his heart, but the servant is an ominous person..."

Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, Guo Jia was stunned, and Diao Chan, who hid his face and fled, left behind a beautiful shadow, which made Guo Jia a little bit collapsed.

Cai Yan, who was leaning against the door of the big house and smiling, saw Guo Jia's bewildered expression, and laughed so hard.

Going forward with her son in her arms, Guo Ye was put down inside the house. Guo Jia asked Cai Yan, "Did Yu Ji and Zuo Ci tell her fortune? It seems that this is not the first time I heard her say that she is an unlucky person. What happened to her?"

Guo Jia just sat down in the room, suddenly raised his head to look at Cai Yan, and asked, "Where is your father?"

This is Guo Jia's second visit to Cai's mansion, the first time he came to help Cai's resettlement, and he has not been here since, after all, he was afraid that Cai Yong would blow his beard and stare at him, looking like an enemy meeting him.

After making tea and pouring water to Guo Jia, Cai Yan pulled Guo Ye who was holding onto Guo Jia's skirt and refused to let go, sat down opposite Guo Jia, and said softly, "Father and mother went to Mount Emei with Taoist Zuo. After drinking this cup of tea, you can go."

Guo Jia, who was drinking the tea in one gulp, wanted to spit it all back, the fragrance between his lips and teeth suddenly became dull, and the love words that he racked his brains were all rotten in his stomach by Cai Yan's attitude of seeing off guests.

It is said that a small farewell is better than a new marriage. Since the war, Guo Jia and Cai Yan have not been able to get together one day. After the family reunion in Chengdu, Guo Jia does not want to see Cai Yong's old face, so he and Cai Yan are often half a month away. When they met, it was Cai Yan who secretly ran out of the house, making it look like an affair.

It was rare that Cai Yong and his wife were not at home, Guo Jia also came back from Jingzhou, and came to see his daughter-in-law after finishing his official business, but unexpectedly, Cai Yan saw off his guests when his butt was not hot, without making any noise.

In fact, Guo Jia also knew that Cai Yan had good intentions and wanted him to visit Zhen Jiang first, but he understood the idea and reason, but Guo Jia just felt a little unhappy.

Standing up and straightening his clothes, Guo Jia curled his lips with sullen expression: "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to put my words here today. I don't see the difference between a regular wife and a concubine. You insist on bringing the rules home. Do whatever you want, I marry a wife to go home to be harmonious and happy, not to show off who I, Guo Jia, married. I don't care what others think. I can't stand it, whoever thinks that I have treated her badly can get out, I don't want to marry a wife and come back with a bunch of rules and troubles."

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia raised his leg and left, but someone grabbed his leg from behind. He turned his head and looked back. Guo Ye hugged his leg pitifully. He said to Cai Yan without looking back: "I'm not welcome, I'm leaving, my son will stay with me for a few days."

Cai Yan always watched Guo Jia leave with a faint smile, and after Guo Jia left, he shook his head and murmured softly: "Feng Xiao, you don't pay attention to secular ethics, but I am afraid of you, and people's hearts are unpredictable. It's hard to measure, there are so many women who fall in love with you, and I also want to have a peaceful home, so I have to give in everywhere."

Walking out of the Cai Mansion with her son in her arms, although Guo Jia lost her temper, she felt a little regretful when she got out of the Cai Mansion. Cai Yan only hoped that Guo Jia would not discriminate against one another.What's more, Cai Yan's starting point is also good, he wants Guo Jia's backyard to be safe and sound.

"Ye'er, is dad a bad guy?" Guo Jia asked the pouted Guo Ye.

The small face showed a serious expression, Guo Ye nodded his head hard, Guo Jia kissed him, and said to him in a low voice: "Then wait for you to go back to your mother and say something nice for Dad, that's fine." ?"

Guo Ye tilted his head and ignored Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who was dumbfounded, had no choice but to save the country with curves, so let's find a chance to talk to Cai Yan calmly, everyone understands, so why can't this pimple be resolved?

After walking two steps, he found that the next door to Cai's house was the residence of the sisters of the Qiao family. Guo Jia scratched his head and knocked on the door to enter.
