Ma Xiuying noticed that Guo Zixing's hair had become half gray and half black at some point, the sideburns were still slightly bald, the big copper bell-like eyes were deeply sunken in, the bags under the eyes were long, and the skin bubbles and swollen face looked like he hadn't slept peacefully for several nights. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hey, it's just that I raised a few white-eyed wolves. Guo Zixing sighed, showing fatigue, and saw that the house was full of family members and confidants, so he brought together the disagreements with Sun Deya, Wu Tong, Lu Tianshou, and Han Zhong.

It turned out that after Guo Zixing led the Red Turban Army to occupy Haozhou, he rewarded his subordinates with the looted property paid from the residences of corrupt officials and Yuan people according to merit. Of course, not all of them will be distributed, and he will have to keep supplies to support the army.

This is a happy thing, but man's greed never ends. On the first day, the soldiers were very excited to get the belongings, and felt that they would have a head start with Guo Zixing; but on the second day, some people began to secretly speculate that Guo Zixing was the generalissimo, and whether he would withhold the belongings and share more benefits for himself; on the third day, Sun Deya slandered Wu Tong, Lu Tianshou, and Han Zhong, "At the beginning, it was said that our brothers would share difficulties and blessings, but why did he Guo Zixing become a marshal alone, but we were nothing? He robbed so much treasure that he gave us such a little." He said that he wanted to raise an army, and that army is now in his name, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

These words completely expressed everyone's hearts, and Wu Tong, Lu Tianshou, and Han Zhong changed their faces on the spot.

It's like intrigue in the workplace, colleagues and even good friends at the same level around you, suddenly one day become your superior, you have to listen to him in the future, he can command you in everything, who will be comfortable in your heart?

The so-called way for the heavens, Kuang Fu Han is just a bright slogan made by this rebel army composed of splashes, idlers, and bandits, in fact, who is not for money. The same is true of these people, who can share in adversity but not in prosperity. When everyone worked together to capture Haozhou, interests appeared and contradictions also arose. At the beginning, they and Guo Zixing didn't think there was anything when they called each other, but now that Guo Zixing is the generalissimo in command of an army, they are just a few small leaders, and there are only 180 people under them, and they are immediately unhappy. Everyone thinks that without themselves, Guo Zixing can't become a big thing, and with the instigation of their own henchmen, everyone wants to maximize their benefits, but they broke up unhappily. Simply everyone proclaimed themselves marshals, and in honor they still obeyed the dispatch of Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, the leader of the Red Turban Army uprising, and went their separate ways in private, so five marshals of the Red Turban Army suddenly appeared in Haozhou City.

After hearing this, Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue said indignantly: "If it wasn't for my father to take them in, maybe they would have died in the hands of the Tartar dog officials, and a few guys who were born as thieves still wanted to be on an equal footing with their father, and wait for our two brothers to kill these thieves and make my father angry!"

"By all means," Guo Zixing hurriedly stopped his two sons, "I didn't prevent them from having different intentions, now they have recruited many people, and there are thousands of soldiers under them, and rashly suppressing them at this time will only make the people who don't understand the reason misunderstand me." I heard that if you don't want to send a large army to attack Haozhou, you must be safe inside the outside, and you can't mess with yourself at present. ”

"Daddy is so smart that he thinks so long-term. Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya praised in unison.

Guo Zixing's old face turned red, and he pointed to the soldiers who came in to pass the word and said, "It was Tang He who told me, and I think what he said is very reasonable." ”

Tang He's a familiar name, but I can't remember where I've heard it. Ma Xiuying took the opportunity to look at Tang He, and found that he was the young man who helped pick up silver earrings when he left Dingyuan before, and couldn't help but smile gratefully at him.

Tang He saw Ma Xiuying nodding slightly, he said hello, and reminded Guo Zixing: "Generalissimo, Marshal Sun, they are still waiting outside to see you." ”

"Forget it, I'll go out and see you, you go back to your room and rest first. Guo Zixing walked out happily, and Tang He followed closely.

As soon as the two walked away, Guo Tianxu complained loudly, "Daddy is really, he actually listened to the ghost truth of that soup." I think that Tang He is a coward, and if a few thieves are killed, they will be killed, what is there to be afraid of?"

Ma Xiuying said with contempt: "It's okay to kill a few people, can you kill thousands of people? My father-in-law has just gained a foothold in Haozhou, what if this matter is not handled well, causing the army to mutiniate and fall into the target of public criticism?"

Guo Tianxu couldn't talk about her, so he was speechless.

Da Zhang's mind was on Guo Zixing, and he didn't bother to care about them. Although Guo Zixing told them to go back to the room to rest first, whoever was in the mood to leave stayed in the hall and waited for news.

After a while, Guo Zixing returned to the backyard with anger on his face.

The crowd hurriedly asked him why he was unhappy.

Guo Zixing scolded angrily: "These people are becoming less and less interested in me, pretending to hear that you have come back to congratulate you." Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, ask me to stay in the house to accompany you more, and they will help share the affairs of Haozhou City, in fact, they want to take the opportunity to seize the power of the army. These men are rough and coarse, and they plunder day by day, and if I hand over the team to them, sooner or later they will be destroyed in their hands. ”

Ma Xiuying advised: "Don't be angry, as the saying goes, different ways don't conspire with each other." Since these people are not of the same mind as the father-in-law, it is better for the father-in-law to recruit other troops and find some loyal people. This was the plan she had in mind on the way back to Haozhou. At the beginning of the regime, Guo Zixing must have lacked soldiers and horses, and he suggested that he recruit troops everywhere, as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be able to recruit Zhu Yuanzhang under his command.

Guo Zixing frowned, "The people in Haozhou City have been divided up by several of our teams, where are there still people?"

"If there is no city in the city, it will be recruited outside the city, and if there is no Haozhou, it will be recruited from other counties. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had not yet attacked Haozhou, the father-in-law hurriedly sent some henchmen out of the city to recruit manpower. After Ma Xiuying finished talking about her suggestion, she slapped Guo Zixing again, "My father-in-law is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, as long as it is publicized, there will be people who are willing to defect." In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, knew people and was good at his duties, and his ministers were talented, and their monarchs and ministers joined hands with one heart and one mind, and finally defeated Xiang Yu, who had many soldiers and a wide range of generals. As long as the father-in-law is open-minded and generous and treats the generals well, why should he worry about not being attached to the people? Those marshals are just grasshoppers after the autumn, and they will only be allowed to jump for a few days temporarily. ”

Xiuying is right. Guo Zixing's mouth was suddenly opened, and he was even more overjoyed to hear that Ma Xiuying actually compared him to Liu Bang, and instructed Tang He: "Under the order, the Red Turban Army recruits talents, and those who are willing to vote are all ten household heads, and those who can reward centurions." ”

Tang He glanced at Ma Xiuying with admiration and took the order.

Ma Xiuying secretly rejoiced: Zhu Yuanzhang, you should appear now.

Although the problem of recruiting soldiers has not been completely solved, Guo Zixing's mood is not as heavy as before, and after ordering the servants to serve the meal, he praised Ma Xiuying: "Yes, yes, you just came back to solve a matter for me." It's a pity that you, as a daughter, if you are a man, you will definitely be my left arm and right arm. “

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Although Xiuying is a woman, she often reads books on war strategies and strategies, thinking that she can relieve her worries and sorrows for her father-in-law." I don't dare to say that everything is clear, but I just want to be able to do my best. ”

"Yo, do you still have such ambitions? Haha, the old man has accepted your filial piety. Guo Zixing was very happy, and the copper bell eyes narrowed into thin slits.

Ma Xiuying is also very happy, if she returns to Haozhou, she will be closed in the back house like other female dependents, there will be no way to find Zhu Yuanzhang, only a little infiltration into Guo Zixing's military and political affairs, can she jump from the back house to the outside, and even contact the army...... This process is a bit difficult to say, but it is not difficult to do, as long as her strategy is helpful to Guo Zixing, she will inevitably be relied on by Guo Zixing. Obviously, the stepping stone of recruiting talents has successfully attracted Guo Zixing's attention.

Seeing that Ma Xiuying had just come back, Da Zhang immediately gritted his teeth, sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it into Guo Zixing's bowl, and said angrily: "Master, isn't Xu'er your left arm and right arm, this kid never dared to be lazy when he went to Suzhou, he was familiar with various art of war, and he was bent on coming back to lead the troops to fight for you." ”

Guo Zixing was relieved, and his smile came from the bottom of his heart, "Xu'er is commendable, and I will let you go to the army to take a position after I pass the school test tomorrow." ”

The triumphant Guo Tianxu suddenly turned into a pig's liver face, the little strategy he knew about the art of war was when he went to school with Ma Xiuying in the ox cart, and then came to Suzhou all day long, skipping class more than going to school, where to learn real knowledge. As soon as he heard that Guo Zixing was going to take the school examination, he panicked.

Da Zhang complained: "As soon as our family was reunited, you were going to send your son to the army, why are you so ruthless as a father?"

"Madam, it's not that I'm ruthless, the war is urgent, or the Japanese army is going to attack Haozhou, if Xu'er doesn't train early, how will he deal with the war in the future?"

"Brother-in-law, what do you think I can do? As long as you give an order, my 180 catties of meat will be released. "Zhang Tianyou is not as shallow as Zhang's eyelids, he has been far away from Guo Zixing's political center after going to Suzhou for a few years, and if he has no example, he will only be forgotten. When he returned to Haozhou this time, he made up his mind to make contributions under Guo Zixing, how could he have military merits without war?

"You have worked so hard to take care of your sister and nephew over the years, and I will never forget your credit. I have left you a good house, and when you settle your younger siblings and nephews, you will come to the army to report. Guo Zixing gave Zhang Tianyou a reassuring pill to eat. He is now short of manpower, even if it is a pig, he does not plan to let go, let alone a man like Zhang Tianyou who can fight and resist.

Zhang Tianyou smiled, and immediately pulled Zhou Huniu to thank Guo Zixing. After his son got a piece of jade pendant given by Guo Zixing, he said goodbye and left the house with a very eye-catching look.

Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya crossed their mouths, coquettishness was their only means, "Daddy, you have given gifts to your cousin, and you haven't given us yet?"

Guo Zixing looked at the two sisters with a smile, "Don't worry, the gifts I prepared for you are all in your respective rooms, and I am really happy to see that you have all grown into beautiful big girls." ”

The Guo sisters were so happy that they ran back to the house to open the gifts without eating.

I don't know why, Ma Xiuying always feels that Guo Zixing looks at them like he is looking at a pig that sells at a price.
