The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 13

It has been half a year as a guest at Zhen's house. Guo Jia learned a piece of news from Zhen Yu at this time, so he made a trip to Zhen's house and agreed to marry Zhen Jiang in three years. Zhen Yi politely said that he wanted to stay, and Guo Jia But he declined face to face.

In the past six months, Guo Jia has been regarded as a guest of honor by the Zhen family, and later he became more like a family member. Firstly, Guo Jia's talent is unparalleled, and he is highly regarded by Zhen Yi. Secondly, Guo Jia's gift of wine making methods made the Zhen family famous all over the world. If it is said that the Zhen family used to be a wealthy family in Hebei and was well-known far and near, but now it is known all over the world. Even the emperor Lingdi of the Great Han Dynasty urges people to come to the Zhen family to ask for good wine every day. The Zhen family has risen overnight. For the drunken fairy, fine wine is a rare wine that is hard to find in the world.And all of this originated from Guo Jia. Zhen Yi once said to his three sons face to face: "It is not too much to honor the talents of filial piety."

On the official road of Wuji County, Guo Jia and Xu Shu rode away, and the four sisters of the Zhen family at the head of the city watched them from a distance. The young and ignorant Zhen Rong also had red eyes. After Guo Jia's figure disappeared into the distance, Zhen Rong burst into tears, hugging her elder sister Zhen Jiang's legs and tears poured down like rain. No one could stop the tears.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu returned to Yecheng again for only one reason, that is, Zhen Yu got the news through the family eyeliner that Zhang Jiao had returned to Yecheng. , this farewell, maybe there will be no chance to meet again.

Guo Jia, who returned to Yecheng, soon saw Zhang Jiao. In fact, Zhang Jiao felt even more anxious when he saw him. And the first thing he thought of was Guo Jia, a young hero who, in his opinion, also had the ideal of overthrowing the Han Dynasty.

In the stronghold of Taiping Road in Yecheng, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were invited to the mansion by Zhang Jiao. Guo Jia followed Zhang Jiao into the hall and was stunned. There were more than a dozen people standing in two rows in the hall. The leaders on the left and right sides were Zhang Jiao's two younger brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, are all burly and sturdy men at the head, and at a glance, they are definitely powerful and fierce people.

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Guo Jia was led by Zhang Jue to the throne. Zhang Jiao held Guo Jia's hand and asked solemnly and earnestly: "Feng Xiao, today's emperor is ignorant, the government is corrupt, and the people are in dire straits. Taipingdao has won the hearts of the people in eight states. Millions of people voted for me in Taipingdao hoping to live a life of adequate food and clothing. I want to obey the will of the people to overthrow the tyranny of the Han Dynasty and restore a peaceful and prosperous world to all people in the world. Do you want to help me accomplish this? "

Guo Jia's face was expressionless, but there was a storm in his heart. Zhang Jiao invited him to join the incident so bluntly. If he refused in person, he might be silenced.But if you agree, I'm afraid it will be a dead end in the future.

Just as Guo Jia was hesitating in his heart, one of Zhang Liang's subordinates became more and more numerous and said loudly: "Great virtuous and good teacher, the Han court's foolish emperor does not care about the lives of the people, and is in vain as the emperor. What is the emperor? He is the lord of the people, and he does not care about the life and death of the people. How can I be worthy of being the lord of the people? I Zhang Niujiao is willing to recommend a great virtuous teacher to be the lord of the people, to stand up in this crisis, lead my Taipingdao to overthrow the Han court, and let my Taipingdao people enjoy peace forever!"

"Zhang Liang"

"Zhang Bao"

"Mrs. Guo"

"Zhang Mancheng"

"Pocai"

"Liu Shi"

"Li Damu"

……

In the hall, except for Xu Shu, Guo Jia, and Zhang Jiao, everyone else knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance, asking Zhang Jiao to lead the Taiping Dao million people to revolt.

Guo Jia was very embarrassed, because Zhang Jiao was staring at him with piercing eyes at this moment, he knew that Zhang Jiao was sincere to him, and he was full of expectations at this moment, but Guo Jia could not agree.

Slowly closing his eyes, Guo Jia sighed, "Master, have you really made up your mind?"

Zhang Jiao said affirmatively: "At this time, the people's hearts are in the direction. If I miss this golden opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, opened his eyes, looked straight at Zhang Jiao, and said solemnly, "Master, I have something to say, and I can't say it."

"Please tell me about your filial piety." Zhang Jiao is very patient at this moment, because he knows that Guo Jia is not an ordinary person, and he can easily recruit those low-level leaders of the Taiping Dao who kneel in front of him, but he wants to accept other counselors who are unparalleled in intelligence. The heart is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Guo Jia looked around the lobby, looked at the passionate core figures of Taipingdao, and said loudly: "In ten years, if there is any trouble in Taipingdao, it will be completely defeated."

Everyone in the lobby turned pale and glared at Guo Jia. If Zhang Jiao was not here, they would have stepped forward and tore Guo Jia to pieces, but Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said sharply to Zhang Jiao: "Great virtuous and good teacher, this person If you don’t want to help me in the way of peace, in order to prevent this person from leaking secrets, you must deal with it as soon as possible.”

Zhang Niujiao and Bo Cai even drew their knives, waiting for an order to attack Guo Jia.

But Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said to the calm Guo Jia: "I have a heart-to-heart relationship with Feng Xiao, but our ambitions are different. Since Feng Xiao is unwilling to help, I let him go. However, Feng Xiao, you and I have not seen each other for half a year. Stay for a few days to reminisce about old feelings?"

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, but Zhang Liang secretly winked at his subordinates.

That night, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were in Zhang Jiao's room. Zhang Jiao kept coughing and blocked his mouth with a silk cloth, but saw blood stains on the silk cloth. live.

After his heart calmed down, Zhang Jiao put away the blood-stained silk cloth, sat opposite Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and asked earnestly, "I never asked about what Feng Xiao said in the daytime, but now, I would like to hear the details."

Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. Guo Jia didn't speak, but Xu Shu explained Zhang Jiao's confusion: "It is true that there are millions of people in the Taiping Road led by a great virtuous teacher, but these millions of civilians have no armor." , two without weapons, three without chariots and horses, marching and fighting, food and grass are not enough, soldiers and horses are not good, millions of people may be overwhelming at the beginning of the uprising with their blood, but if the imperial army comes to kill, what if the Taiping Daoyi army confronts? Victory is also a tragic victory, if you lose, you will be defeated like a mountain, and the general situation will be reversed in the blink of an eye."

Zhang Jiao frowned, his face was full of sorrow, he stared at Guo Jia suddenly, and asked: "As Feng Xiao said, if I make trouble after ten years of Taiping Dao, will the universe be determined?"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said, "How can we be sure of victory in such an earth-shattering event as the change of dynasty? If the Taiping Dao stays dormant for another ten years, hides soldiers among the people, hoards food and grass, recruits talented people, recruits the world's aspiring heroes, and plans for ten years, If there is another incident at that time, the odds of winning will be at least three points higher than now."

"Three points? Ten years can only be exchanged for a three-point chance of winning?" Zhang Jiao laughed miserably, with a look of sadness on his face.

After a long silence, Zhang Jiao looked directly at Guo Jia, and said solemnly: "Fengxiao, to tell you the truth, I am afraid that the end is approaching. If I do not act at this time, the Taiping Dao, which I have painstakingly managed for more than ten years, will be destroyed in one fell swoop. My two younger brothers have absolutely no ability to lead the Taiping Dao, so I was in a hurry to rise up. However, if Feng Xiao is willing to help me, I, Zhang Jiao, will listen to your words and wait ten years. If ten years have not arrived, I will already be buried , then Fengxiao is my new master of Taiping Dao, and my ambition in this life can only be fulfilled by Fengxiao."

Both Guo Jia and Xu Shu were overwhelmed with fear. Looking at Zhang Jiao who was looking forward to him, Guo Jia's eyes were moist with emotion.

He hasn't known Zhang Jiao for a long time, and he only offered a few strategies to calm the people for Zhang Jiao. He didn't expect Zhang Jiao to value him so much. When he wanted to adopt him as his adopted son, Guo Jia didn't think too much about it. Now, after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that Zhang Jiao wanted to entrust Taipingdao to him.

Why not entrust it to the two younger brothers?Because in ancient times, the son inherited the father's business, so when the Jiangdong foundation was passed from Sun Ce to Sun Quan, there was a lot of opposition within the Jiangdong Group. It was not that Sun Quan was young, fledgling, and low in prestige, but that Sun Ce had a son under his knees.

Guo Jia, with moist eyes, bowed his head in shame and said: "The great virtuous teacher has put in so much effort, Jia is very grateful, but it is hard to obey. It's not that Jia doesn't know what is good or bad, but because he is afraid of disappointing the great virtuous teacher. I am not a member of the way of peace. People, the 36 righteous men under the command of the great virtuous teacher will not accept me. If the virtuous teacher dies, how can I control the Taiping Dao? I am afraid that at that time, the Taiping Dao will collapse without attack and become a mess."

"This... doesn't heaven want me to do things peacefully?" Zhang Jiao raised his head and said sadly.

cough cough cough

Zhang Jiao coughed violently again, Guo Jia brought a glass of water and quickly handed it to Zhang Jiao, let him drink it, and after the cough subsided, Guo Jia said: "Although Jia is not talented, he is willing to plan a strategy for the Taipingdao uprising."

Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up, and he urged: "Feng Xiao, please tell me, what's the best way?"

After pondering for a moment, Guo Jia said: "Taiping Dao's affairs should not be exposed as a whole. You can first set up a flag in Jizhou, and the rest of the states can lead them first. When the imperial court is in chaos, you must send troops from Luoyang. On the way from Luoyang to Jizhou, Taiping Dao can be in the city along the way." Hanoi, Shangdang, and the border of Jizhou set up ambushes, severely injuring the Han court army. After that, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, and the Taiping Road in Bingzhou gathered together, raised the banner, and went straight to Luoyang! Luoyang is empty and there is no army to garrison. If Luoyang can be captured, the Han court will be destroyed, and the food stored in the city will be enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the Taiping Road for at least three months. If this is the case, the Han court will be defeated. The potential has already taken shape, Taiping Dao now has soldiers, horses, money and food, and can also form a regular army. If you retreat, you can send troops to the southwest and enter Sichuan and Shu to dominate one side. If you advance, you can point your sword at the Central Plains to map the world."

Zhang Jiao and Xu Shu were dumbfounded. After a long time, Zhang Jiao slapped the table and praised: "Following filial piety is a great plan! If so, I, Taipingdao, will surely obey the order of heaven to overthrow the Han court!"

Guo Jia was not optimistic in his heart. There were many reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but the military reason was very direct. The weak front of the soldiers was certainly the root cause, but more importantly, the Yellow Turban Army fought on their own, and the marching goal was not clear. After conquering a city and a place, they are satisfied after slaughtering the big households in the city and grabbing the food for life. Often after winning the first battle, they just sit and wait to die. There is no unified command and goal, and the momentum is just a mess.

Today, Guo Jia set a strategic goal for Zhang Jiao, to see if the Taiping Road can be accomplished in the future.

Great virtuous teacher, if you want to overthrow the Han court, then I will advise you. The best opportunity for the Taiping Road is in the early days of the uprising, when the Han Dynasty has not paid attention to it, the army will come to Luoyang city. As long as Luoyang is broken, the heroes will compete The era of the future will come ahead of time, success or failure depends on this battle!
