Xi Zhong and Guo Jia came together?

Guo Peng frowned and let the two of them in.

"I've seen Ming Gong (brother)."

"Well, why are you here?"

Guo Peng put down the pen.

"Ming Gong, the two of us are here for Li Ru's business."

Xi Zhong looked at Guo Jia and spoke first.

"Li Ru? What happened to him? Painful begging for mercy? Or did he commit suicide? ”

"No, it's not Li Ru's own business, but something else."

Xi Zhong motioned for Guo Jia to speak.

Guo Jia nodded.

"That's the case, brother, during the day, my brother said that he was going to behead Li Ru and comfort the late King Hongnong, I think this is very correct, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not right."

"Isn't that right?"

Guo Peng became interested and looked at the two with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"That's right, brother, my brother broke Xu Rong and entered the revolving gate, and his prestige was very great, and he was the first person to defeat Dong Zhuo in the Dong coalition army, this merit and fame are very great, and then it is not so easy to catch up with this merit.

This is a good thing in itself, but brother, against Dong Lianjun, it is true that there are many people, there are many people, there are many thoughts, the mind is unpredictable, it cannot be unified, the elder brother has outstanding military achievements, those people are not comparable, and it is very likely that he will hate his brother. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xi Zhong continued.

"The Sour Jujube Alliance, Kong Ling's fiasco, Yuan Shao's Yecheng Alliance, Wang Kuang's fiasco, both armies suffered a fiasco, only Ming Gong won a complete victory, everyone in the world knows the merits of Ming Gong, and despises Sour Jujube and Yecheng everyone, they will inevitably have thoughts in their hearts.

Ming Gong is good at fighting, but our grain road is still from the sour jujube, if the sour jujube princes hate the Ming Duke, secretly attack, do not give Ming Gong food, then our army is good at fighting, it is useless. ”

Xi Zhong was right.

In recent days, Guo Peng found that the amount of grain transported from sour jujube has decreased to a certain extent, and the speed of transportation has also been delayed.

Fortunately, the previous accumulation and seizure of the grain of Xu Rong's department, as well as the grain of the Revolving Gate Pass, were enough to last for a while.

As for the fact that the soldiers looted the grain of the households in the surrounding counties and counties, it did not exist in Guo Peng's thoughts.

It's one of the few bottom lines he has.

So Guo Peng nodded.

"That's right, what you said is very reasonable, under the big victory, it seems to be a good thing, but mediocre and incompetent people, always jealous of people who can do things, incompetent in doing things, and secretly making stumbling blocks are first-class good hands, I don't know this."

"So."

Guo Jia spoke again: "Brother, after I discussed with Xijun, I feel that the execution of Li Ru should not be done by my brother himself, it is better to leave it to ......."

"It's better to leave it to Yuan Highway to do it, right?"

Guo Peng took Guo Jia's words.

Xi Zhong and Guo Jia were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then smiled.

"It turns out that Ming Gong has already thought of it."

Xi Zhong smiled: "It seems that I have waited too much." ”

"Not really."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Before, I really wanted to kill Li Ru, but after thinking about it carefully, people can't do without helpers, no matter how strong the army is, fighting alone without food is a dead end, sour jujube celebrities, it really disappointed me."

Sitting on an army of 100,000 people, if they can work together, work together with Yuan Benchu in Hebei, and attack from both sides, they will not be able to break Dong Zhuo, but they will not move forward if they stay in the sour date, they are not people who can discuss major matters together, so my choice is very clear. ”

Guo Jia and Xi Zhong nodded together.

"Brother and Yuan Highway have been friends for a long time, this time Yuan Highway has not been able to send troops, if we can win over in time, we can let Yuan Highway provide assistance for us."

Guo Peng nodded, and then looked Guo Jia up and down with interest.

For more than a year, Guo Jia's body bones are much stronger than when I first saw them, his figure is more symmetrical, he has grown taller, his speech is full of energy, his face is ruddy, and he is no longer sick before.

With good bones, he is naturally more lively, likes horseback riding, likes fencing, but Guo Peng didn't expect that he has begun to grow up in the overall situation.

"Brother, why do you look at me like this?"

Guo Jia was a little uncomfortable by Guo Peng.

"I haven't paid attention to you for a while, but I didn't expect to have such a growth, and I want to come to Zhicai to contribute a lot."

Guo Peng looked at Xi Zhong again, and Xi Zhong just smiled.

"Guo Jun is young and promising, just talking to me a little bit, there is such a big progress, it is really amazing, it is better to be loyal."

"No, no, no, Xijun is very knowledgeable enough to be my teacher, not something I can compare."

The two humbled each other.

Guo Peng stepped forward with a laugh, shook the hands of the two, and said, "Why do you want to divide the ranks?" There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, each giving full play to its own strengths, there are so many things that need to be done in the world, where can one person do it?

After all, a person's strength is limited, cooperation, play to their respective strengths, cooperate with each other, is the way to success, in the future, the two of you should be more close, more cooperation, Zhicai, my little brother is stubborn, but also please help you more. ”

"Ming Gong has a reputation, this is the honor of loyalty."

Xi Zhong smiled.

Subsequently, Guo Peng ordered the army to load Li Ru into a car and send it to Luyang at the garrison of Yuan Shu, and asked Yuan Shu to dispose of Li Ru on his behalf and announce it to the world.

Leaving the tent, Xi Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "Ming Gong is worthy of being a disciple of Lu Gong, he has a precedence in hearing the Tao, and he has a specialization in the art industry, which is really good, there are too many skills in the world, how can it be done by one person?" Cooperate with each other and cooperate with each other is the right way! ”

Xi Zhong sincerely rejoiced in his choice.

Guo Jia also nodded on the side.

"With the talent of the elder brother, it is completely condescending to govern the land of a state, and the talent of the elder brother can enter the court as a high-ranking official and govern the whole world."

"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, and you can get greater play to your talents, if you can have a day...... cough cough cough ......"

Xi Zhong suddenly coughed lightly.

"What's wrong with Xijun? Not feeling well? ”

"It's an old problem, take some medicine and it's over."

Xi Zhong's face was full of indifference.

Guo Jia frowned.

"Before, my body was not good, I often had a headache and brain fever, my brother saw it, and said that I can't do this, it will cost me life, so I used a method of forging my body.

That kind of forging method can strengthen the body and improve the physique, now, I feel very different from before, the body is much stronger, I haven't been sick for a long time, why don't you try it with me, how about it? ”

Xi Zhong glanced at Guo Jia and felt that Guo Jia was indeed not as thin as ordinary literati.

Although he is quite young, his body looks surprisingly strong.

Xi Zhong thought about it and thought that this was fine, if his body and bones were not good, how could he keep up with Guo Peng's stride forward?

So Xi Zhong nodded and agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion.

Guo Jia's face showed a very happy smile, and there was a feeling that the conspiracy had succeeded.
