34. By force
The battle between Sun Jian and Liu Biao could not be ended in a day or two, so after the plan was completed, Fang Xia put the matter aside. At least they have to wait until they're done and there's a settling before they can say anything else.
Fang Xia also informed the two of them about Chen Lan and Lei Shu's refuge, Xun Yu already knew about it before, so naturally she didn't need to explain more.
Guo Jia and Chen Qun nodded, indicating that they understood. In fact, when Xun Yu passed, they already knew, but they didn't know who was coming at that time. They are counselors, and the lord needs a plan, so it is natural for them to take action. But employing people is what Fang Xia, the lord, should do, and it is better to consider it himself, so neither of them said a word.
However, Guo Jia thought about it, but still didn't control his mouth, and asked: "Lord, since there are colleagues joining, this reception will ...... "Although alcohol is forbidden in the city, if you can't even drink wine at the banquet to welcome the newlyweds, it will be too boring." It seems that the prohibition really made Guo Jia a little panicked, and he began to make the idea here.
Fang Xia turned his head to look at Guo Jia.
After what happened to Xi Zhicai before, she banned Guo Jia from drinking for a few days, and now Guo Jia has changed from a tuberculosis ghost who is about to die to a half-dead drunkard. It looks better, but his spirit is still not very good, anyway, when he didn't drink alcohol, his spirit has been poor, Fang Xia doesn't care, just live.
Guo Jia looked back at Fang Xia faintly.
Fang Xia said to him: "Fengxiao, you haven't drunk in the past few days, but your complexion looks much better." ”
Xun Yu agreed very much, he said: "Fengxiao, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing is about to arrive, you are still ...... Drink less bars. ”
Zhang Zhongjing is a famous doctor, and at the same time, he is also very kind, with a heart for the world, and has treated many patients. But anyone who sees a patient like Guo Jia who does not cooperate at all, but insists on dying with his life, will definitely be angry. Everyone knows that they are struggling, and Guo Jia simply gave up treatment.
Chen Qun didn't want to care about Guo Jia anymore, but when he found that the male god Xun Yu had spoken, he reluctantly nodded and seconded it.
For Chen Qun, who has not been very pleasing to the eye of Guo Jia, this is already a great improvement. Probably the two of them are born incompatible, Fang Xia can't help it, anyway, the two of them rarely meet together on weekdays except for meetings and work, when they are together, it must be because of Xun Yu's presence, as long as Xun Yu is reconciled in the middle, no matter what, they can't fight.
Guo Jia still didn't want to give in, and said, "Could it be that Cheng Jia can't even go to the Wind Wine Banquet?"
Fang Xia smiled softly at Guo Jia, gritted his teeth word by word and said, "The two adults heard that there was a shortage of food in the city, so they declined the reception banquet. ”
Guo Jia took a look at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu nodded, he is an honest man and never lies and deceives people.
Guo Jia had no love on his face, and said: "The two adults are noble, and Jia can't reach it." ”
Just by looking at his expression, you can know that he didn't mean it at all when he said this.
In fact, Fang Xia did not object to Guo Jia drinking, drinking and drinking, but it was resolutely impossible to die. Wait for Zhang Zhongjing to come, see if Guo Jia is saved, and then talk about other things. If Mr. Zhang Zhongjing said that it was okay for Guo Jia's body to drink a little, Fang Xia would also agree to let him satisfy his hunger. Although she was not an alcoholic, Fang Xia still understood the pain of drunkards not being able to drink.
Ignoring Guo Jia, who was struck by the heart, Fang Xia mentioned one last thing. She also mentioned in the plan before, the expansion of the army. There are more than a thousand troops, and how much combat power is unknown, this number of soldiers is too few, and now the world is chaotic, and nothing is as useful as military power.
Now there are only a few sources of military power, except for the unreliable recruitment of civilian soldiers, or the collection of thieves, most of the bandits in these years are civilians who can't survive and fall into the grass, or the Yellow Turban Army that failed in the uprising, some simply take off the Yellow Turban and become civilians, and some simply become thieves who plunder the Quartet, and the people before Fang Xia were subdued in this way.
In addition, it is possible to rely on the family. In these years, the family is high, basically every family is like a small internal kingdom, in which there are countless tenant farmers, and these tenant farmers can immediately become private soldiers as long as they give an order, if not, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be extinct.
Liu Biao's power basically relied on the latter, so he was not as comfortable as he thought. Speaking of which, the grievances between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao should also start here. Earlier, Liu Biao received the appointment of the assassin of Jingzhou, but was blocked by Yuan Shu, and the troops could not move forward, so he could not go down, and rode alone to meet the representatives of the Cai family and the Jing family of the Jingzhou clan.
Only then did they succeed in taking power with the consent of these two families, and there was a good story of a horse entering Jingzhou.
But Liu Biao was able to take power, mainly because he married Cai Mao's sister as his wife, and the trust he gained by marriage.
But it was impossible for Fang Xia to do this, it was not a question of whether she wanted to, whether she wanted to, whether she wanted to, but impossible.
The reason is very simple, because of her gender, even if the world's discrimination against women is not strict, she can also be an official. As a woman, the family gave her some support for her reputation and the face of Xun Yu and Chen Qun, but there could be no more.
So Fang Xia had nothing to choose from, he could only refer to some people's fortunes and take the first path.
In fact, the most suitable person for reference is Cao Cao. After all, now that Fang Xia occupies Boss Cao's place and uses Boss Cao's advisors, he knows how bitter Boss Cao is in his heart when he thinks about it. However, Cao Cao has not yet made a fortune, and Fang Xia wants to explain her plan to several strategists, so she can't talk to him. So after thinking about it, Fang Xia chose to take Tao Qian as an example.
Tao Qian is currently the Xuzhou Assassin of Xuzhou, the leader of Xuzhou Mu, the military and political master, and the emperor of Xuzhou. Compared with Liu Biao, he has a much better life. Because Tao Qian started with military merits, after he received the appointment of Xuzhou Assassin, he pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, and then logically asked for Xuzhou Mu.
So in the future, Tao Qian can feel that his son is not angry, and then give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, at most he will be rebounded by some dissatisfied families, and Liu Biao has to ask his wife first to do anything, and then Mrs. Cai will convey it to the family, and the waist pole will not be hard at all.
Fang Xia used to have a pitiful number of generals, but now there are two new ones, which have doubled, and he can finally take a breath.
Therefore, she briefly explained her recruitment plan.
At present, more than 1,000 people are temporarily divided into two teams, one team is in charge of He Yi and Chen Lan, and the other team is Pei Yuanshao and Lei Shu are in charge. He Yi and Lei Ji first came, even if their attributes were stronger than He Yi and Pei Yuanshao, they had to do things according to the process, and it was impossible to directly give them high positions, so what did they do with the people who worked hard before?
These two pairs of people, increasing the search range, used to be only near Xuchang, and now Fang Xia has been sealed Yuzhou Mu, and the name is justifiable, so it is understandable to go a little farther. Fang Xia planned to let them clean up the thieves in the entire Yuzhou region, and those who could be incorporated would be directly cut down without mercy.
The reason why it is divided into two teams is that when one team goes to the battlefield, the other team trains in Xuchang, and by the way, protect Xuchang so as not to have any problems. If you want to train like this, plus the incorporation, you have to get together a manpower of three or five thousand first, after all, there is a limit to the rogues, and it is impossible to refresh it like a game, and it is impossible to have too much.
After all, Fang Xia came from a later generation, and his vision for military training is indeed stronger than that of these civil officials, and the three people have no opinions, and the lord is wise.
Smiling, Fang Xia said, "Don't pat yourself on the back." ”
In this way, the meeting was completely dissolved.
Guo Jia was about to leave, but Fang Xia stopped him.
Fang Xia decided to personally take Guo Jia to see the doctor with Xun Yu. Regarding Guo Jia's body, Fang Xia was still very worried after thinking about it, don't let Mr. Zhang Zhongjing collapse before he came. It just so happened that she would be fine, so she simply said, "Fengxiao, accompany me for a walk." Wen Ruo, come along. ”
If Guo Jia can be cured this year, Xun Yu will be gone.
As a strategist, the lord asked to accompany him to talk, of course, it was a business category, and Guo Jia readily agreed to accompany Fang Xia to "take a walk".
Xun Yu also followed.
As he walked, Guo Jia suddenly realized that this path was a little wrong, and he asked Fang Xia what he was going to do.
Fang Xia said, "I'll take you to the doctor." ”
At this time, Guo Jia was on the left and Xun Yu on the right, and his small body couldn't run away if he wanted to, so Fang Xia could tell the truth.
The doctor was quite surprised when he saw her come to the door, and said, "Mr. Drama, is it difficult to ......" Although the words have not been finished, the meaning has already been expressed. People still thought that Xi Zhi was going to die, and he was wasting again if he didn't follow the doctor's instructions, but he had a problem with himself? Otherwise, what would Fang Xia do with him so quickly.
Only then did Fang Xia explain the reason to the doctor and ask him to treat Guo Jia.
After all, Guo Jia has ten years longer than Xi Zhicai, so his body is stronger, but the strength is limited, and it can be regarded as dilapidated.
The old doctor seriously asked Guo Jia for details.
Although Guo Jia was stiffly framed by Fang Xia, he was talking nonsense with a lazy face, although the person came, but the soul didn't know where to fly, and he was very uncooperative. Xun Yu looked helpless, and gave up his hand to let the old doctor bear with him, so he could only answer for him, it seems that this set has been done very familiarly. I'm afraid he knows more about Guo Jia's condition than Guo Jia himself.
Guo Jia's condition is more complicated than that of Xi Zhicai, who is really in poor health, although he is a little dead, but he is still measured in general. But Guo Jia is not in good health, not to mention, he still likes to do it, when he was young, he took a lot of the so-called all-encompassing elixir of the Taoist priest, in fact, the ghost knows what is in the core, plus he loves to drink, there is really no one.
The old doctor frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "How did he open his previous prescription?"
Xun Yu reflexively recited the prescription.
The old doctor touched his beard and asked, "Have you ever taken your medicine on time?"
This time, Xun Yu stopped talking, if Guo Jia could take the medicine on time, his health would never be so bad now.
Fang Xia was helpless, so he could only step forward and say, "I'm afraid...... Never. ”
"Lord Diao, this ...... If the patient doesn't cooperate, the old man can't do anything. ”
Fang Xia was full of anger, slapped the table, and said, "Even if he opens it, if he doesn't drink the medicine, I will press him to drink it." ”
Although the force value of this body is really not high, it has been taken in by Wang Yun since he was a child, and he still knows some fancy, practicing singing, dancing and swordsmanship. If you can't go to the battlefield, it's still no problem to deal with Guo Yaoyang. It is said that if it doesn't break out in silence, it will perish in silence, Fang Xia couldn't bear Guo Jia's death, and finally couldn't bear it.
At this moment, Fang Xia's domineering spirit was about to overflow from his body.
Xun Yu looked at Fang Xia and then at Guo Jia, his expression was a little subtle.
Guo Jia made a frightened appearance and said, "Lord, Jia Ke is a patient, and he can't be frightened." ”
Fang Xia's voice lowered a lot of tones, and he said miserably: "If Feng Xiao is willing to drink medicine, I can talk like this." ”
Guo Jia: "......"
The old doctor looked relieved and said, "It is worthy of Lord Diao Chan." "As a doctor, he is really unhappy to see a patient like Guo Jia. originally thought that the drama Zhicai who had been healed before was a model in death, but I didn't expect that there was Guo Jia, a high-level VIP in the world of death.
While speaking, he prescribed another prescription and explained the precautions.
Fang Xia said: "Fengxiao, if you drink medicine well, when Mr. Zhang Zhongjing cures your illness, my previous promise will still be valid." ”
Guo Jia was willing to drink, so Fang Xia let him drink, provided that he didn't kill himself.
After that, Fang Xia and Xun Yu sent Guo Jia back to his courtyard.
The little scholar Wu Baht was in the house, and when he saw Fang Xia and Xun Yu coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I've seen two adults. ”
Fang Xia asked him not to be polite, and by the way, he explained the previous things in the hospital to Wu Ba, saying that since Guo Jia's health was not much better than Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai was recuperating, and she also asked Guo Jia to take a rest, slowly go home to recuperate, and wait for Zhang Zhongjing to come to treat soon after. Only when you are well recuperated can you work better.
The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he said, "Lord Diao Chan is wise! Don't worry, I will supervise Mr. to drink the medicine well." ”
Fang Xia nodded and said, "Then please leave it to you, if Feng Xiao doesn't cooperate, just come to me and Wen Ruo." ”
Five Baht nodded violently and took the prescription.
Fang Xia added: "If the money is enough to buy medicine, if it is not enough, it is good to go to the Taishou Mansion to withdraw it, I don't have it with me now." ”
Wu Baht looked at the prescription, as Guo Jia's scholar, he is also literate, because Guo Jia has been ill for a long time, basically the price of medicinal materials is measured. After reading it, he estimated it and said, "Go back to Lord Diao Chan, it's enough." "These days, Guo Jia has no place to buy wine, he has nowhere to use the money, and he has really saved a lot.
Fang Xia finally said, "If you have anything, you have to tell me." ”
Five baht naturally responded.
Xun Yu also added two sentences, asking Guo Jia to find him if he had any problems.
With that, the two left.
Next, Xun Yu went to deal with internal affairs, Fang Xia really had nothing to do, and simply wandered around Xuchang City. Her face is too recognizable, no matter where she goes, you can see the citizens of Xuchang secretly looking at her, if this is a game, this circle of patrols will probably prompt the people's hearts to rise.
After tossing like this, it was night, Fang Xia felt a little tired during the day, so he rested early and didn't say anything all night.
