The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 44

Guo Jia took the main seat in the hall, the sisters of Zhen's family and Qiao and Qiao avoided it, at this time Gan Ning Zhou Tai and Xu Chu Dianwei sat on the side, telling what they saw in the city today.

"Ding Yuan was recruiting troops in Taiyuan, and the executive general was Lu Bu. Today, a certain man took a look at Lu Bu from a distance, and felt that this man was arrogant and self-confident, and his opponent's soldiers would call him around. It seemed that he was majestic like this. , even if a certain person has the idea of ​​joining the army, he will definitely not be used up by this person."

Gan Ning looked angry, and Zhou Tai who was beside him also nodded in agreement.

When Guo Jia wanted to vindicate Lu Bu, Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong walked into the hall. After bowing their hands to Guo Jia, they stretched out their hands to lead the two of them in. They were young but powerful, with resolute faces A bit of Confucian style.

"Little Grandpa, these are the two strong men that my second brother and I met in the city, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Gao Shun, Gao Gongxiao (There is no name for Gao Shun in the official history or the novel, here is a quote from Gao Shun in a novel I like Biaozi, of course, later history books fabricated Gaoshun’s Biaozi as: filial father. It will not be adopted.) My second brother and I came down for a few days to meet Wenyuan Gongxiao and fell in love with each other. The righteous brother came to see the little grandpa."

After listening to Xiao Zhong's words, Guo Jia was amazed. He didn't expect that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were about the same age as him, would become brothers with Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong?Immediately he got up and left the table, came to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, they bowed their hands together and said in unison: "I have seen the young grandpa."

Guo Jia hurriedly helped the two of them up, and sighed: "Mr. Wen Yuan is filial piety, I, Guo Jia, am an imperial convict now, so I should not be honored with such a big gift. How did you meet the Xiao family brothers? Come on, sit down and talk slowly. I'm very curious."

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun didn't expect Guo Jia to be so hospitable. They thought Guo Jia was a crazy man trying to gain fame, but after meeting, they swept away their previous prejudices and deeply felt that Guo Jia treats people with sincerity.

Immediately, the two told the process of getting acquainted with the two brothers Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong.

Since coming to Taiyuan, Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong have been traveling together in Taiyuan City, and happened to see poor children playing together in the east of the city. At that time, Ding Yuan issued an order to recruit soldiers, so the children all yearned to join the army, because at this time in Taiyuan City The story of Lu Bu's bravery and invincibility has begun to spread, and he is known as Lu Bu among the people.

Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong saw that the children yearned for the army and aspired to be great generals, as brave as Lu Bu, so they taught the children some skills in the east of the city, ranging from small martial arts for physical fitness to large-scale deployment of troops. The marching strategy of the formation, the little fur that the two of them learned from Guo Jia is naturally easy to teach children.

At this time, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun came to Taiyuan City to join the army together. By coincidence, they saw the scene of Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong teaching their children, so they went forward to exchange names with Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong, and became friends. For several days, the four of them competed. Martial arts, discussing military affairs, is a joy.

After Zhang Liao and Gao Shun learned that the Xiao family brothers learned everything from Guo Jia, they wanted to come to see him, and Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong were naturally willing to introduce them.

Thus, there was today's scene of Zhang Liao Gaoshun's visit.

After hearing the story between Xiao Zhong, Xiao Yong and Zhang Liao Gaoshun, Guo Jia was overwhelmed. He didn't know if it was a mistake or the result of unintentional, anyway, two famous generals of the Three Kingdoms appeared in front of him today.

But when Gan Ning heard that the two were going to join the army, he disdainfully said: "If the two strong men go to join Ding Yuan, then they are really secret votes. If they join the army at this time, they must belong to Lu Bu's command. Humph, what a pity."

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun frowned slightly, they didn't understand why Gan Ning looked down on Lv Bu so much, but everyone knew about Lv Bu's brave reputation in Bingzhou at this time, and they also admired Lv Bu a lot.

"I don't know what you mean by that? General Lu's reputation is far and wide, how can it be a pity to serve under his command?" Zhang Liao cupped his hands at Gan Ning, wanting to make him understand what he said.

But Gan Ning turned his gaze to Guo Jia, and said, "Young Grandpa, when you came to Taiyuan that day, you once said that Ding Yuan was not a wise master. Although Lv Bu was brave in the world, he was self-willed and difficult to be successful. At that time, some people didn't believe in the little Grandpa. , Now, I am convinced, the little grandpa knows the world's affairs without leaving home, I am deeply impressed."

Everyone turned their eyes to Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun first glanced at the sworn brothers, but seeing Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong's expressions of pride and admiration, they immediately looked forward to what Guo Jia would say.

Guo Jia didn't expect Gan Ning to favor him at this moment, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Xingba doesn't have to be like this. Although I once said that Lu Bu is difficult to achieve, we can't think that this person is useless. You must know that in recent years Lu Bu followed Ding Yuanbei. Zhan Xianbei, the rebellious bandits in Neiping, great achievements in battle, and his reputation suddenly rose. This is all due to his bravery and invincibility on the battlefield. Therefore, he has the name of Lu Bu, and you may not know that Xiliang Dong Zhuo won One day the god horse, named Chitu, Chitu travels thousands of miles a day, high mountains and low valleys, like walking on flat ground, is the number one BMW horse in the world, so it has the name of Chitu among horses, the two are combined into one, It is Lu Bu among men and Chitu among horses."

When it comes to Lu Bu, the crowd may still be a little unconvinced. After all, these people are too proud to be too high, but they are not willing to be inferior to others. To be able to win the world's best horses is like a godsend for generals on the battlefield.

"Since Lu Bu is among the people, and Chitu is among the horses, doesn't that mean that General Lu is one of the most heroic figures in the world? Why is it a secret to serve him?" Gao Shun's face was stern, and his emotions and anger did not change. up.

Guo Jia chuckled, and continued: "You must know that people in the world praise Lv Bu. They praise Lv Bu for his bravery on the battlefield. If you say that you are a vanguard general, beheading generals and killing enemies, Lv Bu deserves to be a hero. But, who of you has heard of Lv Bu's resourcefulness? How? How about your servant? What about his ambition?"

Everyone fell into silence. Lu Bu's prestige is now at its peak. Everyone is shocked by his brave reputation, but they never think about other aspects.

Guo Jia continued: "I, Guo Jia, have always believed that soldiers are more valuable than elites, and that generals are more strategic than courageous. Lü Bu is courageous but unplanned, impulsive and irritable, and it is difficult to become a great weapon. He, Lv Bu, is the leader of the world's heroes, so he regards A hero in the world is like nothing, if the world is a strong general who can single-handedly quell it, hehe, Lu Bu deserves it all."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia sighed slightly, stood up, looked around the crowd, and said earnestly: "Soldiers are weapons, and saints use them as a last resort. All of you here are talented generals. I, Guo Jia, implore everyone to be extremely cautious when choosing the way forward. , if you help the tyrant to do evil, wouldn’t it run counter to your original intention of protecting the country and the people?”

Everyone was shocked, and Gan Ning and others naturally understood Guo Jia's deep meaning and admired Guo Jia's foresight, but Zhang Liao and Gao Shun didn't understand, Zhang Liao asked: "What does the little grandpa say?" What do you mean? Bingzhou Mu Dingyuan recruited soldiers in Taiyuan, isn’t it because the north rejected Xianbei?”

Guo Jia shook his head with a heavy expression, and did not answer the question: "Mr. Wenyuan Xiao, let me ask you, Ding Yuan just defeated Xianbei and returned with a big victory. The one who lost his troops was Xianbei. Why did he recruit troops? To replenish his troops , there are enough reserve troops in Bingzhou. But why did you go to Hanoi to train and reorganize the army this time?"

Zhang Liao hadn't figured it out yet, but Gao Shun uttered a few words: "Threatening Luoyang."

Everyone turned pale with shock, but Guo Jia was the only one who didn't make any waves on the surface, but he had a higher opinion of Gao Shun in his heart.

"What does Ding Yuan want to do? Is he going to rebel?" Zhou Tai shouted in a deep voice.

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled lightly, facing Gao Shun and asked, "Do you know the reason for the filial piety?"

Gao Shun said with a stern expression: "I can't figure it out, so please ask the little grandpa to explain it."

So Guo Jia continued with a little disappointment: "Ding Yuan was promoted by the General, so he naturally supported the General He Jin, and the General's biggest enemy in Luoyang was Shi Changshi. It was reported a year ago that the emperor was ill. The battle between the general and the ten servants has also reached a critical moment of life and death, because they are all worried about one thing happening, that is, His Majesty's funeral."

哗

The whole audience was shocked, Guo Jia actually said such a rebellious and taboo topic so easily.

But after everyone thought about it, they all understood the situation. After Guo Jia's remarks, Gao Shun suddenly understood, and said: "The general wants to kill the ten servants and needs foreign aid, so he asked Ding The original stationed troops in Hanoi were dispatched at any time to prepare for emergencies."

Guo Jia nodded, agreeing with Gao Shun's statement, but Zhang Liao sighed, "Is there no way for me to serve the country?"

Gan Ning laughed, and said to Zhang Liao: "There are so many heroes in the world. You only see one Ding Yuan, but you never thought of going out of Bingzhou to see if there are any other enlightened masters in the world who can serve you?"

Zhang Liao Gaoshun's eyes lit up, and his gloomy mood suddenly became brighter, but at this time he heard Guo Jia's suggestion: "Everyone, to be honest, I, Guo Jia, already have a candidate for a hero in my heart. If you can trust my Guo Jia's vision, why don't you join me?" Go to see if the hero I have chosen for you is worthy of allegiance, if it is suitable, I will serve together, okay?"

"Oh? Fengxiao has already been chosen? Who is this person? Where is he?" Gan Ning asked urgently, and the others also looked expectant.

Guo Jia said with a mysterious smile: "This person is now in Luoyang. If you are interested, we will go to Luoyang together to see if this hero can make us return our hearts and allegiance."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Zhou Tai said worriedly: "The little grandpa is now a criminal of the imperial court. If he goes to Luoyang, it may be a disaster."

Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "It's just an imperial city, I, Guo Jia, can go as soon as I want, why should I be scrupled? It's too contemptuous of me to want Guo Jiadong to hide in Tibet with a wanted notice. Besides, I have my own way to go to Luoyang." Let the calculations of the Hedong Wei family and Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou fail, and let the court overturn the verdict."

After hearing this, everyone was amazed, and they were also curious about how the little grandpa could get the court to withdraw the arrest warrant and reverse the case for him.
