The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 90

Smiling and politely bowing to the leaders of the Guanghan clan, Guo Jia kindly asked Xu Chu to withdraw his troops and return to Chengdu.

The tense atmosphere disappeared immediately, and the Guanghan clan didn't react. Only Qin Mi, who was standing beside Qin Ye and Qin Cheng, looked worried.

"Hahahaha, Guo Jia, you know the current affairs."

Qin Cheng's unscrupulous ridicule did not lower his voice, Guo Jia's footsteps leading the crowd away not far away did not stop, only Xu Chu gritted his teeth and pressed his weapon in the end, and finally did not move.

This can be regarded as a peaceful ending. The Guanghan clan kept the Guanghan County where the power base is located. Even if Guo Jia covered the sky with one hand in Yizhou, the three-acre land in Guanghan could only stop.

For the Guanghan clan, this was a victory, which meant that the warlords in Yizhou had compromised with them, so they held a banquet in Ye County, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep, and there was joy and celebration.

At the banquet, the big families toasted Qin Ye and Qin Cheng frequently, saying that they were heroes who dared to act, and stood upright and unyielding.

Qin Mi poured himself out and sighed. Seeing his worried appearance, the father beside him asked suspiciously, "Ziyu, now that Guo Jia has retired, Guanghan is still the master of the Qin family. Why do you look so depressed?"

Today's wine seems to be extremely bitter, Qin Mi smiled boredly, looked listlessly at his father and said in a low voice, "Could it be that no one can see that Guo Jia is showing weakness? Wait for thirteen of the fourteen counties in the north of Yizhou. Bow your head to Guo Jia, is Guanghan still in charge of the Qin family? My father is here today, so I can't see that Guo Jia's soldiers are really going to fight, and today the Qin family is bleeding like a river."

The confrontation outside Ye County in Guanghan, there is no doubt that there is a huge disparity in strength. If Guo Jiaruo insists on wielding the butcher knife, the Qin family can't stop it, and the whole Guanghan County can't stop it. The combat power is not comparable to the regular army, even if Guo Jia's army is hit hard, it will eventually be defeated.

But Guo Jia didn't do it because Qin Mi wanted it, and Guo Jia's counselors wanted it too.

That's because Guo Jia is not yet fully prepared. It is easy to slaughter the Guanghan clan at this moment, but Guo Jia can't stop the counterattack of the noble families in Yizhou. There must be one prerequisite for the destruction of the Qin family, that is, how well Guo Jia is ready? In the end, after the Yizhou gentry completely opposed him, who would help him govern Yizhou? Once Guo Jia had a solution to this problem, the life and death of the Qin family would no longer matter.

Qin Mi's father just wanted to give the eldest brother and second brother a boost. It's okay to wave the flag and shout, but it's obviously not good to make suggestions. Qin Mi's words made him think deeply but he didn't have a clue. After hearing Qin Mi's words, Qin Cheng, who was sitting next to him, leaned over He smiled proudly and said, "Ziyu, what should the Qin family do in the current situation?"

Qin Mi quietly looked at the wine glass in her hand, and after a moment of silence, said a word coldly.

"If the Qin family never submits to Guo Jia, this is the best opportunity to incite the noble families in Yizhou and attack Guo Jia at the same time."

A month ago was the best time for Guo Jia to enter Chengdu and his foundation was unstable. Now, although the chances of winning are not as high as then, it is still a good opportunity. There are only two paths, exile or surrender.

Qin Mi felt that it was basically impossible for the noble families in Yizhou to take the risk of genocide to fight with Guo Jia. The reason is very simple. Guo Jia has not killed any of the noble families in vain so far. He only killed Liu Yan's family when he entered Chengdu. The generals of the Hetong army, the Dongzhou gentry who followed Liu Yan into Sichuan and Shu in Chengdu, Guo Jia just dismissed them. Guo Jia only wanted Yizhou's surrender in name, and the Yizhou gentry could tolerate this, and there was no point in staying with Guo Jia forever.

If Guo Jia was like Sun Jian and killed people in Jingzhou, killing everyone in panic and killing everyone in the gentry, then the possibility of Yizhou gentry forming a group and fighting back is very high.

Qin Mi's strategy made Qin Cheng shake his head, and he narrowed his eyes with drunkenness and smiled mysteriously at Qin Mi: "Zi Yu, it's a good thing to give up rather than surrender, but you must be cautious when it comes to life and death. He is not complacent, he knows that the governance of Yizhou depends on the Yizhou gentry, but he will not be willing to be restrained by others, so one day he will try his best to suppress the Yizhou gentry, we can't just wait for death."

Hearing Qin Cheng's words, Qin Mi's dark eyes brightened up a little. This second uncle is a sensible person and has seen the situation clearly, but if he does not oppose Guo Jia now, then in the future, the chances of winning are very slim.

"Ask Second Uncle what advice you have?"

Qin Cheng Fuxu smiled and said, "We're going to make a lot of noise, we're going to drive a wedge between us."

As if falling into an ice cellar, Qin Mi's body was icy cold, and the coldness in his heart made him tremble uncontrollably.

The laughter at the banquet continued, but Qin Mi sat alone in the table expressionlessly, revealing a sad self-deprecating smile. Qin Mi secretly sighed: If Guo Jia can't even control the generals under his command, what qualifications does he have? Lord Yizhou?If his subordinates were the ones who could easily betray their master, then Guo Jia would have been decapitated when he captured Hanzhong.

After the feast was over, Qin Mi followed his father and walked towards his own house. Before entering the house, he held his father back. When his father looked back at him suspiciously and asked what he meant, Qin Mi knelt down in front of his father with a solemn expression. , said with a look of grief: "Father, I implore you to stop meddling in the plans of the uncle and the second uncle. No matter what they are going to do, success or failure, father should not intervene. In this way, at least my Qin family may be able to survive." Leaving a vein, so that the bloodline will not be cut off."

Qin Mi's father had no idea. Seeing his favorite son begging him so solemnly, even if he couldn't figure out the reason, he knew that the matter was important, so he nodded and agreed.

Qin Mi, who had weighed the pros and cons in his heart, deeply understood that if the gentry in Yizhou fought back, even if Guo Jia won, it would be a miserable victory. At that time, there must be other warlords who coveted the land of Yizhou and came to destroy Guo Jia. One day, but if the Qin family plans secretly alone, once the matter fails, Guo Jia's thunderous anger will be enough to make the Qin family cease to exist.

After leading the army back to Chengdu, Guo Jia's expression was always expressionless. Xu Chu, who followed him along the way, hesitated to speak several times, and finally returned to the barracks with a full stomach.

Two days later, the morning sun was shining brightly, and Guo Jia stood on his horse at the north gate of Chengdu. A couple standing not far from him, Cai Yong never gave Guo Jia a good look, and even scolded him for being a traitor many times. Guo Jia didn't mind, too many people in the world called him a traitor, if he couldn't resist some verbal attacks, then he would kill too many people.

It was not until noon that a group of chariots and horses came from the north, guarded by hundreds of young men in white clothes, the leaders were Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi.

The team stopped in front of Guo Jia, Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi led a hundred young guards to salute in front of Guo Jia.

Jumping off the horse, Guo Jia helped the two of them up, patted the dust off their clothes, and said, "Have you been safe?"

Xiao Ren replied: "My fourth brother and I traveled a long and secluded way, and the journey was safe. Fortunately, we did not disgrace the order and sent the lord's family and the Zhen family here safely."

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. You've worked hard all the way, Guo Xiu, take them to the arranged accommodation and have a good rest."

Guo Xiu led Xiao Ren, Xiao Yi, and a hundred guards behind him into the city to rest. Guo Jia walked slowly towards the leading carriage. It happened that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the graceful lady walked out of the carriage with a baby in her arms.

Just about to rush over to say a few words to his wife and take a look at his son, but a gust of wind blew past him, and Guo Jia stared dumbfounded at Cai Yong and his wife running over faster than him.

Cai Yan had long been mentally prepared to see her parents in Chengdu, but she never expected to meet them again right before getting off the carriage.

Tears streamed down his face, and he couldn't make a sound. It was like a family of three in a lifetime full of emotions. The mother and daughter cried with each other, and Cai Yong's tears were cloudy. His daughter made a thousand mistakes, and he died once in his heart. It also allowed him to eliminate his complaints about his daughter, but looking at the staring-eyed and unafraid baby boy in his daughter's arms, Cai Yong's expression became awkward again.

The Cai Yong family was immersed in the joy of their reunion, and the Zhen family also cried bitterly afterwards. Zhen Yao kowtowed three times to his mother, and let Zhen mother laugh and cry while holding him.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao all sat in the carriage and looked at Guo Jia from afar, with tender eyes, and the public was always reluctant to come out to express their heartfelt feelings. Zhen Jiang in the carriage behind only knew that Guo Jia was in front, but he could not lose his etiquette. Meeting Airo, fortunately, the third brother appeared in front of him, and finally had a place to vent, and shed tears with his mother.

There are a lot of people who don't care about etiquette, Guo Jia is in a dilemma, go forward, Cai Yong definitely doesn't want to see him disturb their family of three, go to the front of the Zhen's carriage, the fight with Zhen's mother was not too fast back then, take away the Zhen's family It's empty, and I haven't returned a copper coin to others. It will only be embarrassing if I go there.

Seeing that the 14-year-old Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao didn't have so many scruples, they jumped off the carriage and ran towards Guo Jia. Behind them was Zhen Rong who waved vigorously at Guo Jia and also trotted over.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao tacitly grabbed Guo Jia's arms from left to right, and Zhen Rong fell directly into Guo Jia's arms, almost knocking Guo Jia off his back.

Guo Jia, who couldn't laugh or cry, hadn't opened his mouth yet, and was once again caught in the verbal bombardment of the sisters of the Zhen family.

"Brother Feng Xiao, elder brother said that the Zhen family is too poor to eat."

"Yes, the Zhen family is poor. Brother Feng Xiao, you are a high-ranking official now. Do you want to buy a child from a poor family?"

"Buy me, I will pour tea."

"I'll pour water."

"I'll rub my shoulders."

"I can pinch my legs."

Zhen Rong, who was in Guo Jia's arms, raised his head and grinned at Guo Jia, and said triumphantly, "I can warm the bed."

The ears were cleared, Guo Jia was very surprised that Zhen Rong had the terrifying ability to silence the two sisters. Looking around, he found that Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao both had pretty faces and shy looks, with secret glances.

Guo Jia thought distressedly: Can my 14-year-old body stop squeezing my arms?
