Chapter Seventy-Eight: Knowing People

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

The sky was about to darken, Guo Shifeng lit the oil lamp, and said: "The world is so interesting, on the same rainy day, the roadside vendors are worried that their business will be ruined, but the umbrella sellers are happy." ”

Xu Ji understood what he meant, "It is also a great chaos in the world, the people are suffering, the officials are panicking, but the strategists have a few more ways to do so." ”

"Yes, it used to be difficult for me to knock on a door, but now, it's up to me whether I can open the door or not. Haha, the world is peaceful, the monarch chooses the minister, the world is in chaos, the minister chooses the monarch. ”

"Not everyone has Brother Guo's freedom."

Guo Shifeng didn't take this sentence as a mockery, "Brother Ma's problem is the same as Brother Ma." ”

"Oh?"

"Neither of you thinks you are pure strategists in your bones, judging the situation, and you want to be the lord of troubled times when you have the opportunity. It's not that it's bad, but to tell you the truth, the talents of the two can only be strategists, and the sooner you figure this out, the better it will be for you. ”

"Brother Guo specially observed the two of us?" Xu Ji became interested.

"Of course, if you don't observe such a big thing, how dare you join the gang? Do you want to hear it? ”

"I'm about to ask for advice."

"Then you're welcome, Brother Ma and Brother Ma are the same kind of people, Brother Ma often puts 'Emperor Qianliang' on his lips, Brother Ma never says it, but he always remembers that he was born to Princess Wu in his heart."

In Guo Shifeng's words, Xu Ji remained silent, and suddenly found that the feeling of being told the central thing was not comfortable, but there was a kind of disgust.

"The two of you are noble, and it is inevitable that you feel that the strategists are a little lowly."

"I don't have that in mind." Xu Ji argued.

"There are some things that don't need to be considered, does the rich man have to remind himself of how much money he has in his house every day after he gets up? Those who are born rich don't think about money at all. It's the same with your brother, you have a fortune that no one else can dream of. ”

Xu Ji was dumbfounded, for him, his biological mother, Princess Wu Guo, was more like a burden, but he had to admit that sometimes this burden also brought him a sense of pride.

Seeing that Xu Ji was silent, Guo Shifeng knew that he was right, and continued to smile: "It's a pity, whether it is Brother Ma's 'Former Liang Emperor' or Brother Ma's 'Princess of Wu Kingdom', they are all wealth buried in the ground, and they can't be used or recognized by others." ”

"Brother Guo is really ...... today Something to say. ”

"Haha, Brother Haihan." Guo Shifeng was unapologetic, "Everyone learns the name and the truth, if even we can't bear the 'name and responsibility', how can we use it for others?" ”

"Brother Guo has learned a lesson, please continue."

Guo Shifeng listened attentively, "It's noisy outside, Shen Wu probably brought someone to the door." ”

"It's just nightfall."

"Shen Wuyi has always been self-conscious, if you come to defect, he will inevitably stand up for you, show the world with affection, and a little later will make you feel that you are not enough friends."

"We just married as brothers with different surnames last night, he is third, and I am four."

Guo Shifeng couldn't help nodding, "Look, this is where Brother Ma and Brother Ma are not as good as Shen Wu." ”

The noise outside became more and more obvious, but no one came in to report, indicating that Chief Miao had the upper hand, Guo Shifeng listened for a while and said: "Shen Wu is the real rich man, wealth is held in his hands and worn on his body, everyone can see it, and he himself understands it, so he squanders willfully, from Bingzhou to Dongdu, there are friends everywhere." ”

Guo Shifeng sighed lightly, "I don't blame my brother for coming to him, it's me, if I meet Shen Wu first, I will willingly use it for him." ”

"I just came to defect, but I didn't think it would be used by him."

"Some things are reluctant, in troubled times, who doesn't want to be an emperor? If you don't want to, you can't, the Shen family raised the flag, the world responded, and the younger brother shouted, how many people cared? Even if Brother Ma usually makes a lot of friends, when he really wants to make trouble, who will obey him? ”

"Brother Guo is not right, the puppet is the emperor and sits on the world, this kind of thing has never happened."

"Yes, it says in the history books. But I'm afraid that it's not high enough, I can't respond to all calls, I can't say low enough, and I can't share weal and woe with the soldiers. As a brother-in-law, can you eat and drink with the chaotic people and chat about family life? ”

Xu Ji thought of Ning Bao'er, there were some things he really couldn't do, "Brother Guo thinks I can only be a strategist?" ”

"Haha, people like the word 'only' can be said by people like Brother Ma and Brother Ma, and if it were me, I would be elated and proud to be a strategist."

The noise outside gradually weakened, Miao Sa ran excitedly, pushed the door and entered, "Qin Cha ......"

"If you can afford it, please call me 'sir.'" The more respectful the other party, the more humble Guo Shifeng became.

"Then I will be rude, Mr. Guo, as you expected, Shen Tan led dozens of people to storm the mansion, and they have been repulsed."

"Caught somebody?"

"Killed three people and captured seven people alive, but unfortunately, Shen Tan was not caught, he did come, but he ran fast."

"Don't be careless, he'll come again."

"Yes, I have arranged for my soldiers to guard against it. The Shen family robbed the Qin criminals, and they can announce their family's crimes tomorrow, right? ”

Guo Shifeng got up and came to Miao Sa, and said with a smile: "The imperial court sent me to Jinyang, not to ask for guilt, but to transfer the troops of the state to the south to quell the chaos, how can I be convicted indiscriminately?" ”

"But the Shen family is going to be reversed."

"Don't worry, Shen Tan is defeated and retreats tonight, Lord Shepherd will definitely see me tomorrow, and I will have my own say at that time. But I'm just talking, if I want to succeed, I must have a strong backer in charge of the manager, and the manager in charge of Jinyang City is the fundamental plan. ”

Miao Sa was coaxed by these words, and he didn't use his official position to oppress people, but made a lot of trouble, when Guo Shifeng was the boss, "Mr. Guo won the award, without Mr. Guo's mouth, I would have broken my legs, and what I did was useless." ”

The two said a few more polite words, Miao Sa retired, assigned command, and became more confident.

Guo Shifeng returned to his seat, "Look, I've already won the first half of the game." ”

"There is no first half of the game, the first half of the game, until the end, it is difficult to decide whether you win or lose."

"This is what I admire most about my brother, he is firm in the face of things, and he doesn't change easily, unlike me who has ups and downs in the world, and he is not like Brother Ma, he is too smart, and he will run away as soon as the danger appears. But you have a shortcoming, you are not as good as Brother Ma, or even as good as me. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Make friends with followers. The world is dead, the people of the world are alive, and the struggle for the world is to compete for the hearts of the people, whether they are born nobles, or heroes, those who can win the throne, all of them are people who are chivalrous, they usually have friends, and they are naturally elected as the leader in chaos. Shen Tan has this ability, and Brother Ma also has some, that is, I, when it comes to making friends, I have more than my brother. ”

"Brother Guo hit the nail on the head."

"That's why I say that the sooner my brother confirms his identity as a counselor, the greater the benefit."

"Brother Guo never tired of persuading me to be a strategist, but he never said who he wanted to be a strategist."

"Brother is smart, I am willing to bow down." Guo Shifeng arched his hand and leaned forward to say: "Back to the Eastern Capital, you and I will work together to promote the king of the north as the emperor, make immortal achievements, and enjoy lifelong blessings." ”

"Listening to Brother Guo's previous statement, the Empress Dowager has the intention of changing the King of Jibei."

"The woman is short-sighted, the Empress Dowager is no exception, she has this intention, but she hesitates, the new emperor is a grandson after all, a little deception, the Empress Dowager will be unbearable."

"The Liang family treats Brother Guo well."

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "It's not that I'm ungrateful, Liang Xima is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others, Mrs. Liang thinks too highly of himself, and the troubled times have come, but he is bent on ruling the world with the way of sages, and he can't last long." Since I want to cling to Tiancheng, I naturally hope that this dynasty can last longer. The king of Jibei is good at wine and benevolence, and has no ambition, if he is a group of heroes, he is not the best choice, if he succeeds to the throne, supplemented by wise and knowledgeable people, he is very suitable. ”

"Brother Guo is so frank, I will also tell the truth, before leaving the Eastern Capital, the lord of Fangde County had already divorced me, and I still have the retirement book with me."

Guo Shifeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That's a joke, no one will take it seriously." What's more, the younger brother doesn't need the county lord to speak to the king of Jibei. ”

"Without the identity of a son-in-law, why does the king of Jibei listen to me?"

"The identity of the son-in-law is not important, the assassination together is a life-and-death friendship."

Guo Shifeng obviously knew the details of the assassination of the emperor by Xu Ji and the others, and he wanted to use the "friendship" between Xu Ji and Zhang Shiyu to persuade him hard.

"What about Shao Junqian?"

"Alas, that is also a strategist, but unfortunately one wrong step, then among the people, if you don't choose the eldest princess, you will be defeated before you can gain a firm foothold - he was whipped by the little emperor himself, and the details do not need to be said. It is estimated that by the time we return to the Eastern Capital, the eldest princess will also die in Huangquan. ”

Shao Junqian's target at the beginning was not the eldest princess, but the general, Xu Ji didn't mention this matter and was silent.

Guo Shifeng thought that he had been moved, and pursued after the victory, "There is nothing wrong with being a strategist, the Lord is incompetent, it is a good thing for us, the King of Jibei and Yu Shizi will rely on the foundation brother to govern the world, although there is no name of the prime minister, but there is a real exercise of power, why not?" ”

"If I am in power, I will clear the charge of assassination, kill everyone who knows, and turn it into a secret that only Yu Shizi and I share."

Guo Shifeng was stunned again, smiled and shook his head, "You, you are still too young, there are some things that you can't think through and shake off." Don't worry, on the way back to Beijing, let's talk slowly. ”

"I won't go back to Beijing, at least not in the near future."

"You think you can win?"

"What does Brother Guo think of Tan Wuyi?"

Guo Shifeng frowned, "The one who was locked under the pillar?" I'm not familiar with it, I heard it's a madman. Brother Brother, think he can save you? ”

"Tan Wuzi has some strange ideas, often unexpected, if Shen Wugongzi can listen to his plan tonight, I will be fine."

"What trick can he come up with?"

"I don't know this, as a strategist, I only look at people, not recruit people. I can see that Tan Wuwu will have a way, and I also see that Shen Wu is likely to reuse this person at a critical moment, but other than that, I can only wait for the destiny of heaven. ”

"Brother Brother, after all, has made himself a strategist." The smile on Guo Shifeng's face stiffened slightly, and he suddenly got up, "You can't trust everything, Miao Sa is a little confused, I have to tell me a few more times." ”

Suddenly there was a noise outside, this time very close, not like a clash on the street outside, but more like people in the house shouting.

Guo Shifeng's face changed suddenly, lifted the hem of his clothes, and ran outside.
