"Lord, according to Gong Jin's report, Liaodong has been pacified." The information of Liaodong was transmitted to Jiangdong for the first time, and Guo Jia went to Yuan Shu's mansion to report to Yuan Shu.

"Oh? It's fast! At this time, Yuan Shu, who was teasing his daughter, said absentmindedly.

"Gong Jin did a good job this time, he took Liaodong within a month, and put Goguryi under his control. But..."

"But what?"

"Gongsun Du ran away, and he still has an army of 20,000, but his eldest son is now in our hands."

"Ran away?" Yuan Shu raised his head, frowned slightly, and said, "Where did he go?" It won't be Gongsun Zhan! ”

"Not really, he fled to Haoqian."

"Tsuki?"

"It's a small country on the eastern peninsula of Liaodong near Samhan. The strength is not strong, and in the past, he was attached to Liaodong on the surface, and Gongsun Du probably wanted to start anew. Guo Jia said.

"In other words, he plans to re-establish the country in this place, and then develop and grow, waiting for the opportunity to recapture Liaodong?" Yuan muttered inexplicably.

"Not bad. There are continuous mountains between this country and Liaodong, and it may be difficult to send troops to attack from Liaodong, and its interior is dangerous and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gong Jin and the others didn't know what to do next, so they came to ask the lord. Guo Jia arched his hand.

Yuan Shu looked at his innocent daughter in his arms, his eyes softened, he showed a warm smile, kissed her fiercely on her white and delicate little face, and said lightly: "Then forget it." However, the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to jump for long, so there is no need to rush for a while, and it is not bad to let them explore the way for us in the Samhan area. As long as we occupy Liaodong, we only need to take root in Liaodong, and we can do a lot of things in the next big war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan. ”

"Yes! The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan is not far away, it depends on us and Yuan Benchu, who can have the last laugh. Guo Jia smiled evilly.

"Hebei's affairs are not urgent, Gongsun Zhan has not become an emperor, and this battle cannot be fought in a month or two. By the way, how is the resettlement in Yuzhou? Didn't run into any trouble, did you? ”

"That's not true, Liu Bei not only took away nearly half of the people in Yuzhou, but also took away a lot of the children of the family, leaving behind some of them who were more obedient and obedient, and did not encounter any problems in the process of governance. Fu Zhu served as the assassin of Yuzhou, Xu Ronghuaxiong assisted by the side, which was enough to control the overall situation and would not leave any loopholes for Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde, while Gu Yong served as Henan Yin and Ziyi to help, and now he is slowly accepting the displaced people who came from Yuzhou. Liu Bei didn't take any action on this, so the two sides were fine. Guo Jia reported one by one.

"Alas, there are still not enough talents!" Thinking of the current situation, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh. When he first came to Jiangdong, with his foresight and the identity of the Yuan family's son-in-law and Yangzhou assassin, he gathered a large number of civil and military generals. But as he attacked all the way, slowly seized the world to the situation where he now occupied the land of Qizhou, the Wenchen fierce generals under his command did not have much more, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of his expansion at all, which made Yuan Shu feel the trouble of running out of manpower for the first time.

The seven states under his command, Jiaozhou and Jingzhou and Yangzhou are okay, and Yuzhou is located in the hinterland, so that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hongtianfeng, who are partial to internal affairs, can also serve as the main minister. Keyizhou, Liangzhou, Sili, and Yuzhou, these four states are all complex situations, and they must be able to control the situation and deal with various emergencies. And there are only a few strategists under Yuan Shu who have the ability to control the civil and military affairs of a state, and it is really not enough to divide them. Of course, this is based on Yuan Shu's standards, because Yuan Shu's requirements for the level of internal affairs are too high.

"Lord, just wait two more years." Guo Jia, who knew Yuan Shu very well, immediately understood Yuan Shu's thoughts when he heard this, and said with relief: "In two more years, Gong Jin, Xiaozhi, Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, Yuan Zhi and others will grow up, and there are Bo Yan, Ziming and others under them. What's more, there are still several strategists under the lord's command who have not been completely attached to the lord! ”

"That's right." Thinking that he still held so many "little guys" in his hands, Yuan Shu smiled slightly. Then he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Ziming is about the same age now." ”

Guo Jia heard this: "Yes, he should be eighteen years old now, if it is not expected, he should graduate from Jinling Academy this summer." I just don't know if he will choose to continue his studies in the academy or join the army. ”

"Which path do you think he's right to take?" Yuan Shuhu said.

When Guo Jia heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "To tell the truth, if it weren't for the lord and you reminding me to pay attention, I wouldn't see anything outstanding about this Lu Meng, although his current military strategy, strategy, and strategy exam rankings in Jinling Academy are good, but they are just good, and they are not as prominent as Bo Yan and Yuan Zhi and others in the past." And in terms of political strategy and economic meaning, it has also been studied, which is much inferior to the first three, but it is barely possible. It's just that it's not a good thing for him to juggle everything like this. After all, people's energy is limited, and their talents are also fixed, and freaks like Gong Jin, Kong Ming, and Bo Yan are rare in a century. Continuing to learn in this way will only waste his talent and eventually become a mediocre talent. ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Indeed, an all-rounder like Gong Jin, how many people can there be in this world?" But how can you be sure that this Lu Ziming will not be one of them? ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said, "Although I believe in your vision, but with his current performance, I'm afraid it's impossible!" Perhaps in a few years, he will become a weakened version of Gong Jin, but compared to Gong Jin, who is close to the peak in all aspects, his all-round ability can only be called mediocre. With so many talents under the command of the lord, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand out. ”

Yuan Shu smiled lightly and undeniably: "There are not only geniuses in this world, but also late bloomers, I believe that Lu Ziming is such a person." Although his current performance is average, I believe that if he is given time and opportunity, he may be a Zhou Gongjin again in the future? ”

"Since the lord appreciates it so much, then let's wait and see what happens to this Lu Ziming in the future." Seeing that Yuan Shu was so confident, Guo Jia no longer refutated, took out a wine gourd from his waist, poured a sip, and said with a smile.

Yuan Shu smelled the faint smell of wine in the air, and while holding his daughter to the maid and letting her send her back to the room, he frowned and said, "How many times have I told you, don't drink in front of your children." ”

Guo Jia saw Yuan Shu, who was quite angry, and smiled: "I'm sorry lord, I accidentally forgot." ”

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "I see that you didn't take my words to heart. The next time this happens, I'll ban you for two months, and you won't be able to touch a single drop. ”

When Guo Jia, who was in a casual state, heard this, he hurriedly put away the wine gourd, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, Jia will never do it again in the future." ”
