Chapter 56: The Mastermind Guo Jia
"I want to summon filial piety as the mastermind, would you like it?"
A simple sentence, but it was like a thunderbolt ringing in Guo Jia's ears. This sentence is not something that can be agreed to casually.
The mastermind, the counselor of all military affairs, is the confidant of the general. The ancients recognized the Lord, it was a very serious matter, and once a decision was made, it would not be betrayed. Because this era emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, a person who betrays the Lord does not even have basic morality and loyalty, and will be spurned by the whole world.
Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he thought about how he met Zeng Yu today. He could feel that Zeng Yu valued him, but it was not so easy to make him worship the lord.
"Zirui's ambition is to make Jia admire, but I don't know if there is enough strength to match?"
Guo Jia's answer was not what Zeng Yu expected, although the poor scholar had no future, but how could a person like Guo Jia easily surrender. If he can't provide him with a big enough stage, even if he is called as the mastermind, it will be useless.
Zeng Yu glanced at Guo Jia deeply and laughed: "Then I'll reintroduce myself." ”
"I Zeng Yu studied under the Guigu lineage, and in February this year, I led the disciples of the sect down the mountain in response to the situation and seized the opportunity to ascend to the sky. After going down the mountain for two months, he founded the unclothed army, and now there are more than 2,000 warriors who can fight, including 1,500 Daqin Ruishi, whose combat power is enough to be worth 10,000 officers and soldiers in the county. Now the official worships the order of Anping County, just waiting for the Yellow Turban Road to start an incident, and will take the opportunity to quell the chaos to achieve a big party. ”
Zeng Yu quietly watched Guo Jia's reaction, as he expected, as it introduced its current strength little by little, Guo Jia's expression became more and more surprised, and at the same time, it became more and more excited. His eyes flashed with inexplicability, and he made a decision in an instant.
"Jia, I've seen the lord!"
Guo Jia took a step forward and bowed to Zeng Yu. This worship means that he said that he was completely tied to Zeng Yu's chariot, and he will do his best to assist Zeng Yu to win the supreme throne in the future.
"Haha, with your help, I believe that it will be smoother in the future, and I will be able to sweep the universe."
Zeng Yu helped Guo Jia up, patted him on the shoulder and laughed. At first, he thought that he would continue to spend some time, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to make a decisive decision after listening to his words.
"I don't know why Feng Xiao decided to be so decisive, I thought you would think about it or two." Zeng Yu spoke out his doubts.
"There are three main reasons why Jia decided so quickly. First, in just a few months, the lord can start from scratch, have his own people and territory, and establish a basic force, which shows that he is not an ordinary person. Second, the lord is the heir of the Guigu Valley, and he must know that the Guigu Gate is hiding the power as it is today, which is a huge wealth, and once the princes of the party are achieved in the future, they will have a big leap forward in power and become the most promising member of the world. Third, the lord is very interested in Jia's appetite and sincerely invites him, and Jia has a reason to refuse?"
Guo Jia talked about it and told his thoughts. Zeng Yu listened to his words, and sure enough, Guo Jia is Guo Jia, and everything can be analyzed. He suddenly thought of the current situation in Anping County, and planned to ask Guo Jia's opinion. So he introduced the situation in Anping County and his own plans to Guo Jia, and mentioned the relationship between the Shangdang County Guard and the current Anping County Commander Cui Yu, and when he donated the official himself, he had decided to use the eunuchs to try to suppress the Shangdang County Guard.
"The lord has done a good job in this matter, and Jia has nothing to add, but for the three major families in Anping County, we can use a divisive strategy. If you don't have official documents in hand at the beginning, it will be difficult to implement the separation. But the lord has now obtained the official documents of the Anping County Order, so this matter is very feasible. ”
Zeng Yu listened to Guo Jia's words, thought for a while and said: "Feng Xiao refers to dividing the Zhao family and letting him fight back?" ”
"Yes! The Zhao family must have known that the lord was already the Anping county commander appointed by the imperial court, and if he didn't guess wrong, the three major families must have united under Cui Yu's command to try to prevent the lord from taking power. However, the three major families and the county order are not as big as the Zhao family, and the lord can send a man with a sharp tongue to secretly go to the Zhao family to persuade him, and with the arrogant and domineering character of the head of the family, Zhao Dang, the probability of persuading him to defect is at least ninety percent. ”
Guo Jia analyzed to Zeng Yu, and then quietly waited for Zeng Yu's decision, he was very much looking forward to Zeng Yu being able to adopt his suggestion, after all, this was the first time he had given Zeng Yu advice. As for the candidates to go to persuade him, he knew that Zeng Yu must have them, and if there were not even people in Guigumen, it would be a shame for Zhang Yi and Su Qin.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the message back." Of course, Zeng Yu would not refuse, he immediately agreed.
Zeng Yu spread out the rice paper on the table and wrote a letter to the people of Lingyunzhuang, he arranged for Ding Xi to persuade Zhao Kang, because Ding Xi is practicing the art of vertical and horizontal, and with him, the success rate of lobbying the Zhao family can basically be said to be nine out of ten.
Zeng Yu called Zhu Wen in, asked him to go to the market first to select three fast horses to buy, and then arranged for three personal soldiers to deliver the letter to Lingyunzhuang and hand it over to Liu Neng, the current person in charge of Lingyunzhuang.
After arranging all this, Zeng Yu said to Guo Jia: "Today, I can be helped by filial piety, which makes me feel that the road in the future is much more relaxed." I was worried that if the expansion of the unclothed army was blocked, the men and horses would not be enough to suppress the entire Anping County, but with Feng Xiao's suggestion, the Anping County Order can be said to be nine out of ten. ”
"The lord has won the award, and I also look forward to seeing the legendary Qin Ruishi who can defeat ten as soon as possible." Guo Jia returned with a smile.
Seeing that Zeng Yu adopted his suggestion as soon as possible, and turned it into an order in front of him, Guo Jia also felt very relieved, after all, it is one thing to invite him sincerely, but after worshipping as the mastermind, it is another thing to follow the advice.
Zeng Yu then personally arranged a place for Guo Jia, just in an attic with him, just in a different room, Guo Jia was going to refuse, saying that there was a difference between the top and bottom, but he couldn't bear Zeng Yu's insistence, so he had to agree, and felt that Zeng Yu valued him.
As for those pro-soldiers, they were also very envious when they saw Zeng Yu looking at this young handsome young man like this. Because even if Zhu Wen wanted to protect Zeng Yu closely, he only lived in the house next to Zeng Yu, not in the same attic, and they were very curious about what was worthy of such attention to this young man that the lord brought back today.
In the next few days, Zeng Yu and Guo Jia were almost inseparable, discussing the next situation in the room. Even Zeng Yu took out his Eight Gates Golden Lock Array and studied it with Guo Jia. At the same time, he also proposed that he planned to make some modifications on this basis and design an advanced version that only belongs to him.
Guo Jia was originally a blend of hundreds of schools, coupled with the depth of wisdom as the sea, and even had seen the remnants of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array before. At this time, I saw Zeng Yu take out the complete array diagram, and if he got the treasure, he studied it without sleeping or eating.
During this period, Zeng Yu also told Guo Jia about his comprehension of the formation chart, which allowed Guo Jia to grope for the entire eight-door golden lock array in just five days.
When Zeng Yu and Guo Jia were talking, although they were surprised by Guo Jia's progress, they thought that the other party, as one of the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, had one of the best intelligence in the entire Three Kingdoms, so it was acceptable.
But this has greatly changed another person's opinion of Guo Jia, and he is Zhu Wen. At the beginning, Zhu Wen saw that his lord treated Guo Jia like this, and there was a trace of jealousy and unhappiness, and he felt that such a scholar who met by chance seemed to have a status above him in front of the lord at this time. If he hadn't known that Zeng Yu must have his reasons for doing this, he would have found an opportunity to run on Guo Jia a long time ago. But when he found out that the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, which he had talked to him many times about, but he still didn't understand, was understood by the other party within a few days, he was completely convinced, and at the same time, he really admired the lord's vision, and a random scholar was such a talent.
Of course, Zeng Yu could also feel Zhu Wen's faint hostility towards Guo Jia, but he was not easy to explain, otherwise it would make Zhu Wen even more embarrassed. He believes in Zhu Wen and Guo Jia, Guo Jia's ability will definitely be discovered by the wise and foolish Zhu Wen, and then Zhu Wen will understand. At this time, seeing that Zhu Wen's hostility towards Guo Jia quietly dissipated because of the matter of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, Zeng Yu was also relieved.
On this day, Zhang Fuguang sent someone over, saying that he could leave for Anping County at any time, and asked Zeng Yu when he planned to return. It turned out that Zhang Fuguang had already negotiated cooperation with the seed family, and the seed family took the lead, and also reached some agreements with several other major families, planning to go to Anping County to raise goods and transport them to Luoyang.
Zeng Yu and Guo Jia said that there were only three days left for the return trip, so they told the people that three days later, in the morning, they gathered outside the north gate and returned to Anping County together.
Guo Jia was next to him at the time, and he heard that Zeng Yu was going back soon, so he told Zeng Yu that he was going to visit Xun Yu and tell him his current plans.
Because he was worried that Xun You would have an opinion about himself because of Guo Jia's affairs, Zeng Yu asked Guo Jia not to tell Xun You that he had become his mastermind for the time being.
Guo Jia knew Zeng Yu's concerns, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed, and at the same time he also said to Zeng Yu: "Lord, Gongda is also a great talent in the world, if there is a chance, it is recommended that he be included in his command." ”
"Of course I know that, but now we don't have a lot of territory. The Xun family is the largest family in Yingchuan County, and Gongda is currently the only son of the Xun family who has launched into the officialdom. Of course Zeng Yu knew Xun You's talent, but he knew that it would definitely be impossible to recruit Xun You now, so he could only let Guo Jia pay more attention to it and not let Xun You serve others, so he would have a chance.
Zeng Yu saw Guo Jia leave, thought about it, wrote two letters, called his own soldiers, and asked them to send them to the Cao family and the Yuan family respectively. The pro-soldier turned out to be a letter, and when he saw that the cover of the letter was written on Meng De's personal qi and Benchu pro-qi, the pro-soldier already knew who these two were, and after receiving the letter, he forgot about the Cao family and the Yuan family respectively.
