In Sheguo County in early summer, as far as the eye can see, the grass and trees are all green. Although the sun is high, the gentle breeze blowing from the mountains makes people feel quite comfortable.

On the rugged mountain road, a neatly groomed army marched. At the front of the team was Dian Wei, who was riding a black war horse and carrying two large iron halberds, and behind him were two hundred sword and shield soldiers. Behind the sword and shield soldiers were Han Zhan and Guo Jia, who rode side by side, followed by a hundred crossbowmen and two hundred pikemen, as well as a hundred migrant workers pushing wheelbarrows.

Guo Jia, who was a feather fan, rode on a gray war horse, and although he was parallel to Han Zhan, he never said a word. Speaking from the heart, if it weren't for Xun Yu's best persuasion, he wouldn't want to accompany Han Zhan out on this trip at all. Just a dozen bandits, the hundreds of people you brought with you trampled them all to death, and you still need to go out on your own, isn't this a knife to kill chickens?

It is for this reason that Guo Jia has never said a word to Han Zhan since he set off. Han Zhan saw that Guo Jia was so cold to him, and he was not angry, after all, the other party was one of the best strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, and it was normal to have a little temper. This time, he made a little trick and asked Xun Yu to take the initiative to invite Guo Jia out, just to get close to him, so that he could successfully recruit him in the future.

After walking for a while, Han Zhan opened his mouth and asked with concern: "Fengxiao, in the past two days in the Qinglou, has the old bustard been slow to treat you?" If so, please speak up, and when I return to the city, I will go to her to reason. ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Guo Jia was embarrassed to remain silent anymore, after all, all his expenses in the Qinglou were paid by the young state-related order in front of him, he could only arch his hand at Han Zhan, and said politely: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine in the Qinglou, there is wine and meat, and beautiful women are up to me." All this is thanks to the envoy, and I am very grateful. ”

"Brother Fengxiao," Han Zhan didn't want Guo Jia to feel that he was deliberately currying favor with him, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about the hidden cottage he was about to go to: "When I was on the way to office, I once exterminated a group of bandits, led by black. When I took people to the bandits, I saw that there were only a group of poor women and children among the bandits, and there was no gold or silver treasure that they had stolen. ”

When Xun Yu persuaded Guo Jia last night, he only said that he would accompany Han Zhan to exterminate a group of bandits, and did not reveal more inside information. At this moment, when he heard Han Zhan say it, he immediately realized that this matter was not as simple as Xun Yu said, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Envoy, could it be that the bandits you went to exterminate today are related to the treasure in black?" ”

"That's right," Han Zhan nodded and replied, "I once heard a Shunshun bandit say that in addition to the cottage I once visited, there is also a hidden cottage in black, which is ready to be used to store the gold and silver treasures he robbed, but unfortunately the exact location is only known to his henchmen." ”

"Where did the envoy know the location of the hidden cottage?"

Regarding Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan smiled faintly, and then asked rhetorically: "Feng Xiao knows that I executed a thief who colluded with the Yellow Turban yesterday. ”

Guo Jia was stunned at first, but quickly guessed the truth: "I understand, the person who accompanied the beheading yesterday is the insider." After such a fright, the little bit of information he knew, he didn't confess all the truths to the envoy. He shook the feather fan lightly and bowed his head slightly, "High, this trick made by the envoy is really high." ”

Guo Jia turned his head to look at the wheelbarrow convoy following behind, and said with emotion: "Envoy, this convoy is used to transport treasures, right?" Not to mention, on such a rugged mountain road, only this kind of unicycle can walk on the ground. After a pause, he said to himself, "The person who can build this kind of car, I wonder if he understands the Mo family's tricks?" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough," Han Zhan was still a little complacent when he heard Guo Jia praising himself, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help coughing loudly, and then said with some embarrassment: "Don't hide Fengxiao, in fact, I built this car." But I don't know anything about the Mo family's tricks. ”

"What, you built this car?" Guo Jia's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "It's just incredible." ”

Han Zhan smiled and said, "Feng Xiao has won the award, the structure of this unicycle is simple, I just think about it." ”

Guo Jia Zhengse said: "Make the king too humble." If the army uses this wheelbarrow to transport military rations when marching and fighting, it can save a lot of manpower and animal power, and the grain and grass consumed along the way can also be greatly reduced. By the way, the envoy is planning to use this wheelbarrow to transport the captured gold and silver treasures, right? ”

"That's right," Han Zhan replied truthfully, "Since Heiyi has hidden his treasures in such a secret place, it is estimated that there are a lot of them, and if there is no suitable means of transportation, it will be very difficult to transport them all back to the county seat." ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Guo Jia's face couldn't help but show a meaningful smile: "Envoy, if Jia is not mistaken, you plan to use this batch of treasures to recruit troops, right?" ”

"Feng Xiao guessed well, this envoy did think so." Seeing that Guo Jia had guessed his intentions, Han Zhan lost no time in saying: "But it is difficult to find a thousand troops, and there is a lack of effective strategists under this envoy, why don't you come out and help me?" ”

Guo Jia did not immediately reply to Han Zhan's request again, he secretly considered whether this person in front of him was worthy of his life. After a moment of silence, he asked slowly, "Envoy, Jia has something I want to ask you about." ”

"Feng Xiao, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Seeing that Guo Jia did not refuse himself, Han Zhan felt that there was a way to seek talent, and hurriedly said with a big grin: "As long as this envoy knows, he must know everything and say everything." ”

"Jia wants to know, after making the king's soldiers strong and strong, what will the king's intentions?"

"After the envoy is strong and strong, he will naturally go out of Taihang, and the soldier peak will point directly to Jizhou City." Han Zhan said confidently: "Even if you can't recapture Jizhou City, you can capture the surrounding cities to expand your strength." ”

Han Zhan's idea is not whimsical for Guo Jia, and it does have a certain degree of feasibility. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Envoy, as far as Jia knows, the main reason for welcoming the Yuan clan to Jizhou was the initiative of a group of Wenchen from Yingchuan in Jizhou City, plus Gongsun Zhan's occupation of Anping City in the north and the intimidation of the safety of Jizhou City, which made them try their best to persuade Ling Zun and force him to give up Jizhou. Now don't look at Jizhou City in the hands of the Yuan family, but there are many people in Jizhou who are not satisfied with the Yuan family, if you choose the right time to send troops, I believe there will be many people accordingly. ”

Han Zhan listened carefully to Guo Jia's analysis and did not interject, he felt that what Guo Jia said was roughly consistent with his analysis. After Guo Jia finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "I don't know when Feng Xiao thinks the best time is." ”

"Unless the Yuan clan starts a war with someone in the near future, he will not have time to clean up those Taishou and county orders who disobey him." After Guo Jia said this, he slowly shook his head: "However, Jia thinks that it is unlikely that the Yuan clan will be at war with anyone in the near future, but he does not mention his identity as the fourth and third dukes, even if he has the identity of the leader of the alliance of the princes of Dong Zhuo's eighteenth road, no one will fight with him." ”

When Han Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart, don't look at you Guo Fengxiao's resourcefulness, but it is definitely not as clear as me, a traveler, who understands history more clearly. He coughed lightly and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, the two of us might as well come and gamble, bet on whether someone will go to war with the Yuan clan within the year?" If you win, Ben Envoy will never pester you again; But if you lose, how about staying and working for this envoy? ”

Guo Jia didn't expect that he had unknowingly fallen into Han Zhan's trap. After carefully considering the situation in Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou and other places around Jizhou, he nodded resolutely and said to Han Zhan: "The gentleman is quick to say a word, since the envoy said so, Jia will make a bet with the envoy." Needless to say, if you lose, Jia Zidang will be the lord of the king; But if Jia is lucky to win, please don't make it difficult for you. ”

"It's a deal." After the two finished speaking, they immediately high-fived three times to confirm the bet that had just been proposed.

Guo Jia looked at the surrounding terrain and said to Han Zhan: "Envoy, we are swaggering towards the cottage like this, it is easy for the thieves to find out. It is better to let the Marquis of the Dian Army lead the sword and shield soldiers first, and take them by surprise while the bandits have not yet noticed. ”

"What Brother Feng Xiao said is extremely true." Han Zhan felt that Guo Jia was very reasonable, these hundreds of people were walking unhurriedly on the mountain road, if the bandits had eyeliner nearby, the team's whereabouts would be exposed. Thinking of this, he reined in the reins of his horse, called a soldier who followed him, and instructed him: "You go to the front and tell the Marquis of Dianjun, let him lead the army first, and rush to the cottage as soon as possible." I will lead the brigade to catch up as soon as possible. ”
