The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 397 Self-destruction of the Great Wall
Guo Jia came and went in a hurry, and only stayed in Jiangling for one day before returning to Chengdu.

And because Wu Yi received fifty military sticks, he was definitely not allowed to ride a horse, but could only take a carriage. In order to prevent the soldiers from being attacked by Cao Ren in Fancheng on the way back to the new city, Guo Jia asked Gao Shun to accompany Wu Yi back to the new city and sent him to the new city. After returning, Gao Shun then transferred to Chengdu.

Even if his muscles and bones are hardened, it is not a trivial matter to be hit with fifty army sticks. After Wu Yi took a carriage all the way back to the new city, he could barely get off the ground and walk without any problem.

Gao Shun successfully sent him back to the new city, and he didn't stop much, and went directly to Chengdu to report. Before leaving, Gao Shun handed Wu Yi a kit.

Watching Gao Shunyang whip the horse and ride Juechen, Wu Yi's heart is heavy, but he is very grateful to Guo Jia.

It is true that he slandered Gan Ning, and he was not dismissed and received a heavier punishment, which is regarded as Guo Jia's forgiveness.

As for the Fifty Army Sticks, it means that you can recover after a period of recuperation.

After Gao Shun's figure disappeared from sight, Wu Yi stood outside the city and opened the kit, and took out a piece of cloth from it. There were four big characters clearly written on it, obviously in Guo Jia's handwriting.

I have wronged you!

Wu Yi, who had already entered middle age, had a sore nose, holding the strip of cloth with trembling hands, tears almost welling up in his eyes.

Worth it.

In this matter, Wu Yi must have his own grievances, even now he is the one who is criticized by thousands of people in the Taiping Army.

I thought that this bitter fruit could only be swallowed silently, but I didn't expect Guo Jia to know everything he suffered.

These four words dissipated the haze in Wu Yi's heart, no matter how much bitterness there was, he didn't take it to heart.

The lord can understand, what is worthless?
But soon after, Wu Yi became suspicious again.

If Guo Jia understands the pain he has suffered, why is there still such a situation today?
After much deliberation, Wu Yi could only ask Fazheng in the new city for advice.

Fazheng was busy day and night with government affairs in the new city, and he really couldn't get away to meet Wu Yi, which Wu Yi understood very well.

Injured but came quickly, Wu Yi went straight to Fazheng when he walked into the office of Xincheng Mansion, and said, "Military division, most of the recruiting of the superintendent is fake."

Seeing him coming in in such a hurry, Fazheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and hummed softly.

This reaction made Wu Yi stand on the spot in a daze.

It seems that Fazheng is not surprised, he already knew it already?
Wu Yi tentatively asked in a low voice, "Isn't the military division surprised?"

Fazheng said indifferently: "From the moment the general returned to Xincheng and told the subordinate superintendent that the recruitment was suspected of treason, I knew that the general was plotted against. It is impossible for the superintendent to rebel.

Wu Yi slammed his fist on the low table in front of Fazheng, and said angrily, "Then why didn't the military advisor prevent me from reporting to the lord that day?"

Knowing that there was a pit ahead, Fazheng not only watched Wu Yi jump into it, but even pushed him behind his back.

Wu Yi is now furious and furious. There is not only an anger of betrayal, but also unwillingness to be plotted by others.

Fazheng raised his hand to signal Wu Yi to be calm, and said calmly, "General, you still remember that a few years ago, my lord gave the general a secret order to provoke the general to provoke the governor. Now, my lord's plan here with the general has been completed." It's the closing stage."

Wu Yi was puzzled, and his anger disappeared. Instead, he looked at Fazheng with an enigmatic smile on his face in disbelief.

This secret order was issued to him by Guo Jia a long time ago, and it is absolutely impossible for Wu Yi to leak the news by himself, so there is only one possibility. The reason why Fazheng knew about it was Guo Jia who told him.

Wu Yi calmed down, now he understood, and Guo Jia also knew that he was innocent, he opposed Gan Ning out of loyalty, and Guo Jia watched the situation develop to the present, with other motives.

"Military division, please tell the truth."

Wu Yi put away his anger and asked calmly.

Fazheng asked instead: "May I ask the general, after today, how will you get along with the governor?"

Wu Yi's face was full of bitterness, and he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there will be no balance between power and fire."

Confronting Gan Ning is almost opposing the entire Taiping Army. When Wu Yi received Guo Jia's secret order back then, he knew that the road he was taking was almost driving himself to a dead end. I isolated myself in the Taiping Army.

Fazheng suppressed his smile, approached Wu Yi, and said in a deep voice, "My lord is doing this in the hope that the general will save the life of the governor in the not-too-distant future!"

Wu Yi was stunned
There was an uproar about Wu Yi's framing of Gan Ning.

First of all, the generals of all parties were dissatisfied with the Wu family, and secondly, they were also faintly dissatisfied with Guo Jia, because Guo Jia was treated unfairly.

And this matter can't be covered, it spread to the ears of Cao Wei and Jiang Dong, these two are watching the excitement and not afraid of big troubles, while clapping their hands and clapping, at the same time, they vaguely hope that the internal conflicts of the Taiping Army will intensify. Cause mutiny and other accidents.

After Guo Jia returned to Chengdu, he issued a strange order.

Under his rule, including Yizhou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou, all the guilty prisoners were escorted to Chengdu.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and every place under Guo Jia's rule began to take action, ranging from a small county to a large county government. Some were in twos and threes, and some were in groups. After more than a month, these All the prisoners were escorted to Chengdu, sent to the Chengdu military camp, and guarded by the army. There were nearly 2 people in total. This is not a high number among the millions of people under Guo Jia's rule. In troubled times, whenever a war breaks out, it will cause a chain reaction, and the increase in crime rate is inevitable.

The escorts in this order were all men, and they had no idea why they came to Chengdu.

In mid-April, Guo Jia appeared in the Chengdu military camp, and specially called Dian Wei.

Dian Wei, who looked like a black tower mountain, followed Guo Jia. Nearly [-] prisoners stood there obediently in the military barracks. Although they didn't look neat, at least they didn't look chaotic.

After Guo Jia appeared, none of them would shout words of injustice or begging for mercy, etc. Most of them remained silent when a monarch was in front of them.

Everyone in the audience was silent, and the Taiping Army around the school grounds stood ready to prevent riots.

Guo Jia stood on the high platform of the school field and looked down at the crowd, without being wordy, and straight to the point.

"Some of you are capital crimes, some will spend the rest of your life in prison, and some will see the light of day again after more than ten years. Of course, most of you will be able to start a new life in just three to five years. I came today because I want to face you Let me ask you, do you want to join the Taiping Army?"

Guo Jia's words stunned all the prisoners below, and the soldiers around the school grounds couldn't believe it either.

Guo Jia had no shortage of soldiers, as long as he issued an order to recruit soldiers, ordinary people who wanted to join the Taiping Army would flock to them.

The reason why Guo Jia does not recruit soldiers is whether the overall strength can afford it, and whether military expenditure will affect the development of people's livelihood.

But today, Guo Jia wants to recruit soldiers for the first time, and he wants these prisoners to serve as soldiers?
There are sneaky people and vicious people. Apart from loyalty, the most important thing is whether they can endure the hardships of military life and the cruelty of fighting the enemy.

Obviously, the soldiers of the Taiping Army did not think highly of these prisoners, and even despised them.

The prisoners in the audience fell into a commotion, whispering to each other, not knowing what Guo Jia meant.

"Let me say it again, is there anyone willing to join the Taiping Army? In the first year, there is nothing else but food. From the second year onwards, the treatment is the same as that of the Taiping Army, and the monthly salary is not less than one cent."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was passionate, and the prisoners in the audience naturally shouted in response.

No matter what their considerations are, whether they want to avoid prison or beheading, or want to really join the Taiping Army to change their lives, Guo Jia's conditions are very tempting.

It is difficult for ordinary people to join the Taiping Army, so these criminals naturally have nothing to ask for.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Guo Jia turned around indifferently, and told Dian Wei: "Go and count the number of people. If anyone does not want to join the army, they will be taken back to prison. The others will be organized into a new army and let Wenchang Wei come." Train them."

After Dian Wei clasped his fists to handle the matter, Guo Jia ignored the cheers of the prisoners below, stepped off from the side, and walked straight out of the barracks.

After Dian Wei finished his work, he chased out of the barracks, caught up with Guo Jia, and asked directly: "My lord, I don't understand, this is not an appropriate move."

Guo Jia walked back to the house without looking back, and said calmly: "I know that this matter is wrong, but I will make up for the mistakes I made in the future."

Some of these criminals must have hurt ordinary people. Guo Jia now pardoned them in a disguised form, and also gave them a way out in an open and aboveboard manner. This will definitely make some of the people feel dissatisfied with Guo Jia.

Dian Wei, a general, can understand the key points here. He really can't understand the current Guo Jia, why is he always doing things that destroy the Great Wall?
Confused!
But Guo Jia admitted to his face that he also knew that this matter was wrong, which made Dian Wei even more confused.

Knowing that it is wrong, why do you insist on going your own way?

When Wei Yan received the military order asking him to train this army that had changed from criminals to soldiers, Wei Yan was puzzled and helpless.

For an army to condense into a combat force, it needs years of practice. Guo Jia put him in the position of commander of the new army, which is equivalent to leaving Wei Yan idle for several years.

Wei Yan couldn't figure it out. He didn't come to serve Guo Jia for nothing. He wanted to go to the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. He didn't want to stay behind to train and manage the army. Let Guo Ye blow the wind in Guo Jia's ear, and transfer Wei Yan to the front line of Jiangling.

Guo Ye is more supportive of Wei Yan in this matter. He thinks that Wei Yan is a rare general, and he should be given a place to use it.

But Guo Jia only replied to Guo Ye, asking him to tell Wei Yan.

When Wei Yan heard this sentence from Guo Ye, he almost thought he heard it wrong.

"Within half a year, this army will go to the front line of the battlefield. If you want to come back alive, let this army become stronger."

Wei Yan was completely confused, the Taiping Army had nearly 40 powerful troops!
Why was this army thrown into the front line in such haste?
