Text Chapter 16 Guo Qizuo
"Grass Army".
As soon as these two words came out, Guo Qizuo was stunned, and the monks and soldiers who gathered around Wu Mourning, Zhu Li and others, as well as Quan Qing and Quan Xu, immediately turned pale when they heard this.
The name of the Grass Army resounded all over the world, just ask at the moment, who doesn't know what the Grass Army refers to, I'm afraid even a three-year-old child is familiar with it.
Moreover, this young man is not big, he looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he can be ranked as the captain of Guoyi, and he is the number two person in the army, which is unbelievable.
Guo Qizuo also trembled in his heart when he heard the grass army at first glance, but he was not an idle person, the person he recognized, even if it was a robber or bandit, he also believed that he could support that person and become the monarch of the dominant side.
"Haha, it turned out to be the captain, disrespectful in the next, I don't know if the captain lacks people who lay paper and grind ink, in the next is not talented, willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, I hope to be able to follow the captain, and it is enough to lay paper and grind ink for the captain." Guo Qizuo's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, but his eyes were clear, and he stared straight at Zhu Li and pleaded. (Tang Dynasty: Adult, elder brother, Ah Lang, generally refer to the father, for Shangguan, generally call the official name)
Since Wu Mourning has a good impression of Guo Qizuo, and does not hesitate to tell him frankly, Zhu Li is of course willing to let Guo Jia follow him, this is a super good thing that falls from the sky, if even Guo Jia doesn't want it, it is better to kill himself immediately, it is a stupid fool to do.
Zhu Li hurriedly stepped forward to support Guo Qizuo, and said respectfully: "Mr. is willing to intersect with Zaixia, it is an honor in the next, if there is something missing, please give me advice." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Guo Qizuo hurriedly said politely.
A drama of a good minister choosing the master was staged here, but Quan Qing and Quan Zhi over there were colorless, these two people saw that each other was from the military from the beginning, but the monks had a special status in Datang, so they didn't care about each other's identity.
However, if this army belongs to the grass army, then it is another matter, the status of the monks was officially given by the Tang Dynasty, but not by the grass army, and the official soldiers may be afraid of them, and the grass army, these people who rebel with their heads, may not necessarily eat their set.
Guo Jia, now Guo Qizuo, as soon as he saw Zhu Li agree to his surrender, he happily walked to Zhu Li and the others, and immediately acted as a dog-headed military advisor, he first signaled to Zhu Li, then turned his head to look at Quanqing, Quanzhu and others, and said: "Master Quanqing, Master Quanzhu, I have been borrowing to live in your temple for a while, and I am deeply cared for by the two. ”
Hearing this, Quan Qing and Quan Zhi glanced at each other, and their faces eased a little, after all, they had gotten along with Guo Qizuo and had some feelings for each other, and now the other party can speak, and there may be a turning point for borrowing food, so Quan Qing shouted in a low voice: "Amitabha, Guo Shi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Lao Gu and others listen to each other." ”
Guo Jia got the other party's approval, hung the wine gourd on his waist casually, and coughed clearly: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has been more than two hundred and sixty-one years. ”
"In the temple, the eunuchs are chaotic and the disputes between friends are continuous, entangled, and time-consuming, but they have not been resolved; And Emperor Ruizong, after setting up the post of Jiedu envoy in the first year of Jingyun (710), the source of chaos in the Tang Dynasty was another Jiedu envoy to rebel, and the rivers and lakes were no longer peaceful. ”
"Looking at the disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty, the three evils are not eliminated, the world is not pure, and today, the great country is already terminally ill, even if the Li family has a wise monarch to succeed to the throne, in the face of the devastated Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it is more than enough, and the strength is insufficient, do the two masters think that the Tang Dynasty can last long?"
Hearing this, Quan Qing and Quan Zhu's faces were a little ugly, the special status of the monk was given by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty did not last long, which meant that the status of the monk was not guaranteed.
Guo Qizuo didn't wait for them to respond, and continued: "Over the years, first Pang Xun rebelled, and then Wang Xianzhi rebelled. ”
"Datang's serious illness is no longer a medicine and food, and now there are only cramps and bones, and recasting flesh and blood, and Buddhism, which has been supported by the people in power in the Tang Dynasty, will go in this wave that sweeps the world, have the two masters thought about it?"
The edifice will fall, and the water will dry up, and there will be fish?
At this tirade, Guo Jia changed his melancholy attitude of wandering in the past, turned to look at Zhu Li with a fanatic believer-like appearance, his spirit soared, and he said loudly: "The time spent with the two masters is not short, the two masters should know the vision and ability of the next, the grass army without Guo Qizuo may need the grain and grass of your temple for emergency, and now with Guo Qizuo's grass army, it has become unimportant for the grain and grass assistance of your temple. ”
"Troubled times out of heroes, troubled times out of heroes, in the next since Mao Sui recommended himself to the commander of the captain, must be optimistic about his future, your temple is now aiding the grass army, called the snow charcoal; If one day, Du Wei Xiong rose in troubled times, looking at the world, at that time, not to mention a little grain and grass, even if the two masters sent the entire Zhenru Temple to Du Wei, Du Wei may not be able to see it, even if he reluctantly accepted it, at most it is the icing on the cake, the weight of the weight, the size of the cause and effect, the two masters may wish to weigh it carefully. ”
After Guo Qizuo finished speaking, he retreated to the side behind Zhu Li, kept silent, just looked at Quan Qing and Quan Zhi with a smile, as if his heartfelt words had been said, the specific decision depended on the two old monks, no matter what the result was, he didn't care.
These words fell into the ears of Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou and others, maybe it's nothing; But in the ears of Wu Mourning, Zhu Li, Quan Qing, and Quan Xu, they all have their own feelings.
After all, Quan Qing and Quan Zhi have been with Guo Qizuo for a long time, and naturally know how powerful this person is, as Guo Qizuo himself said, the grass army without Guo Qizuo may need the help of Zhenru Temple, and with Guo Qizuo's grass army, it doesn't matter whether Zhenru Temple helps or not, with Guo Qizuo's wisdom, a little grain and grass, he can solve it with his mouth.
As for Wu Mourning, he listened to Guo Qizuo's words, and he was also very triggered, this young man in white clothes is by no means simple; Persuading people is also a skill, and Guo Qizuo is obviously comfortable with this skill, and has reached the point of perfection, and the current situation is no longer his martial arts, but it has become Quanqing and Quanjiao.
These two old monks didn't want to help Zhu Li and the other grass army from the bottom of their hearts, and this clear-eyed person could see it, but after listening to Guo Qizuo's remarks just now, they hesitated.
Guo Qizuo's magic, they have seen it, it is because of their admiration that they allow Guo Qizuo to enter and leave Zhenru Temple freely, even if this person is drunk in Zhenru Temple, the monks in the temple will open one eye and close one eye, isn't it because they know that this young man is a person with great ability?
And it is such a young man with great ability, but he fell in love with a young general at first sight, and was willing to support him, then the future of this young man can make people look forward to it, if Zhenru Temple refuses to aid the grass army today, in the future, once this young lieutenant really makes a career, can Zhenru Temple still be better?
Even if Zhu Li is generous and doesn't take them in his eyes, if his subordinates hear that Zhenru Temple rejected their envoy at the beginning, how will they deal with Zhenru Temple?
You must know that sometimes when you marry Shangguan, you don't have to give gifts, it is also a way to make friends with Shangguan, and there are really many people in this world who want to do this and will do this.
Guo Qizuo is very powerful, he didn't ask the other party from beginning to end, he just introduced the facts and possible results, and it was all up to Zhenru Temple to decide whether to borrow grain and grass, so the two old monks were in a dilemma.
As for Zhu Li, he also recognizes Guo Qizuo himself.
The magical "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in his mind has already reminded him that Guo Qizuo is Guo Jia's living body, what is a living body, his understanding is that Guo Qizuo is a person who lives another life like himself.
He listened to Guo Qizuo's words, and he was even more convinced, he was not convinced that he would get ahead in the future and dominate the party, after all, it was a shadowless thing, people who have received modern education are more objective, they all believe that seeing is believing, those false can become goals, but not necessarily true.
He is convinced that if Guo Jia wants to solve the problem of food shortage, it will not be difficult at all, and there is no basis for it, just because he is Guo Jia.
Quan Qing and Quan Yu looked at each other for a long time, and muttered a few words in a low voice, then turned around, and Quan Qing said respectfully: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, today Zhenru Temple will have a good fate with this little benefactor." ”
As soon as these words came out, it also meant that Zhenru Temple was persuaded by Guo Qizuo, and they finally did not dare to risk offending Zhu Li, the plan was decided, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, of course, including the two teams of monks who rushed out, no matter how respected the status of the monks in the Tang Dynasty, they were not willing to confront the soldiers, not to mention a group of rebellious troops.
"Fangzheng, Fangyuan, you go to the warehouse, load the surplus grain of these years into twenty carts, and send them down the mountain with all the donors." Quan Qing casually beckoned two disciples, and in front of everyone, he cautiously instructed.
"Thank you Master for your help." Since Zhenru Temple chose to help, Wu Mourning naturally wanted to come forward to thank him, and it was better not to do what he could do without doing it, not to mention that this is a famous temple, if he did it here, he was afraid that the whereabouts of himself and others would be exposed.
Although it is also exposed now, since Zhenrusi chooses to help them, it will not betray them.
But the two old monks didn't accept his affection, they didn't look at Wu Mourning, but looked at Zhu Li with burning eyes, this situation made everyone stunned, Guo Qizuo was behind Zhu Li, reached out and gently pulled his sleeve, Zhu Li suddenly, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Thank you two masters, it is really like the righteousness of the temple's help today, Zhu Li will never dare or forget." ”
