Chapter 104: Since ancient times, Yingchuan has been a strategist
The trip to Yingchuan was short and urgent, and even Xiang Cheng was only a short rush, and he didn't have the pleasure of meeting an opponent in Youzhou. It is reasonable that the Yingchuan Yellow Turban is not weak, at least not weaker than the Youzhou Yellow Turban. It is only to blame Bo that this person is stubborn and can't listen to the persuasion of others, which caused such a big loss. To Xiang Cheng's surprise, none of the 8,000 deserters planned to leave after hearing about his plan. Maybe it's because their conscience finds that if they leave this time, they're afraid they'll have to bear the name of a deserter for the rest of their lives, or maybe it's because the people they want to leave see that no one is the first to come out, so they haven't left. But all in all, this phenomenon proves that Xiang Cheng's judgment is at least right, who can be blameless if he is not a sage? These people, in general, still want to mend their ways.
After repairing overnight, Bai Ren, as a rare civilian official in the Yellow Turban Army, lay on the carriage and fell asleep at this moment. However, this sleep is not very steady, and his brows will furrow at every turn, and he doesn't know what Bai Ren dreamed of in his dreams. The reason why I can't sleep well is probably because the two most powerful people in this team are not by my side at the moment.
Two of the best people on this team, it seems that I don't need to tell who everyone is. That's right, it's Xiang Cheng and Ma Zhong.
Xiang Wei wanted to do a big thing by himself, but Ma Zhong had to follow. After all, how could he not participate in such a fun thing, the last time Xiang Cheng went to Changshan County, Ma Zhong didn't follow, and this time he didn't want to go back alone this time. Because the big thing Xiang Cheng wants to do this time is almost the same as last time, this time it is also looking for someone, but it is not a general, but a strategist. And who is the most famous strategist in Yingchuan? In addition to the eight dragons of the Yingchuan Yingchuan Xun clan, I am afraid that this poor student Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao will be counted.
The Yingchuan Xun clan is a famous family, and the most famous one during the Three Kingdoms period was Xun Yu Xun You's uncle and nephew. Xun Yu was born in Yingchuan Xun, after Xunzi. His grandfather, Xun Shu, was well-known in the world and was known as the Divine Monarch. Xun Shu has eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons. Xun Yu's father Xun Qi once served as the minister of Jinan, and his uncle Xun Shuang served as Sikong. At this time, Xun Yu is twenty years old, which is the time of high spirits, and Xun Yu, as a nephew, is already twenty-seven this year, and it will be the year of establishment in a short time.
These two people can be regarded as the strategists of the first echelon of the Three Kingdoms period in Xiang Cheng's heart, but Xiang Cheng has been in the Eastern Han Dynasty for so long, and he knows very well in his heart that Xun Yu Xun You's uncle and nephew will not be with him even if he dies in front of him, the reason is his identity. Imagine if you were a rich second generation, would you go back to work for a small company with no future at all? What is impossible to happen in today's society is even more impossible to happen in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Therefore, this time Xiang Cheng's target is Guo Jia, who is now only fourteen years old. Don't look at the young age now, but it combines intelligence, open-mindedness and personality. Regardless of Guo Jia's role in the Three Kingdoms, his "fans" alone may not be comparable to ordinary people. The founding ancestor of our dynasty once said: "Guo Jia is an outstanding man of wisdom and resourcefulness in history, and his theory of ten victories involves almost all aspects of Chinese art of war thought. Talented, resourceful, strategic, and meritorious. ”
And Xiang Cheng felt that although he was not intellectually superior, he was also a person who knew the past and the present in this era. Presumably, he and Guo Jia still have at least some common language. Moreover, when he came to the Three Kingdoms and didn't see the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick Guo Jia, this is not a visit to the Three Kingdoms at all. With such thoughts, Xiang Cheng walked towards Yingyin.
Guo Jia's historical record is that Yingchuan Yangzhai is a person, but Yangzhai is the base camp of Yingchuan Yellow Turban at this time. Presumably, no "gentleman" would put himself under the mast, so Xiang Cheng can be sure that Guo Jia will never be in Yangzhai City at this moment. So where is the most likely place for Guo Jia? Naturally, Xiang Cheng is now going to the place "Yingyin".
Yingyin is the city where Xun Yu's family is located, and it is also where Xun Yu grew up. And Guo Jia is quite talented and famous, but he is good friends with Xun Yu, although the age difference between the two is not small, but in an era when they can get married at the age of twelve, at least fourteen-year-old Guo Jia is already an adult.
Xun Yu was not a scholar at this time, and even his filial piety was only recommended in the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty. At this time, he wanted to be a rich boy who was playing in Yingyin City, this rich son did not mean Xun Yu "gentle", but the kind of gentleman image that a real child of a big family should have, a gentleman image that combines "humility", "courtesy" and "talent".
And Xun Yu was followed by a teenager, looking at the relationship between the two walking, it seemed that they were not masters and servants but friends.
"Two of you, please!" Xun Yu took the young man to a wine shop in Yingyin City, and the guy at the door greeted him.
"Fengxiao, in your opinion, when will this yellow turban thief make trouble?" After entering the wine shop and ordering food and drink, Xun Yu asked. Judging from the expression on his face, Xun Yu didn't have a good impression of the Yellow Turban gang.
The young man next to Xun Yu has beautiful eyebrows and bearded lips, but he is a beautiful young man. Judging from the dialogue between the two, although our classmate Xiang Cheng is not smart, he is definitely not stupid. Because this person is the Yingchuan ghost talents Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao that Xiang Cheng wants to visit.
Guo Jia straightened his clothes and knelt on the couch, and replied without thinking about it: "This yellow turban party will be peaceful this year." ”
"Oh? How so? Xun Yu couldn't help but be happy when he heard Guo Jia's words. The world knows that Xun Yu is a staunch Baohan. And at present, this Taiping Sect's Yellow Turban Thief is Xun Yu's number one object of hatred.
Seeing that the food was slowly served on the table, Guo Jia picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass, drank it all, and said happily, and then opened his mouth to say a long list of contents. If Xiang Cheng was here, he would be surprised, because what Guo Jia said was the same as what he said before Zhang Jiao was going to Guangzong. The pros and cons of the Yellow Turban Army were analyzed from four aspects: the enemy's army, our army, subjectively, and objectively. It's just that Xiang Cheng said it from the perspective of the yellow scarf, but Guo Jia said it from his own point of view.
Xun Yu was overjoyed after hearing this, but what Guo Jia said coincided with his own thoughts. It's a pity that I can't enter the court as an official now, and I only hope that the soldiers of the Han Dynasty can achieve some good results from these aspects.
Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu's happy appearance but sighed imperceptibly, his little brother is good at everything, but he is a little "pedantic", even if the yellow scarf exterminated by the imperial court, there will be "black scarves", "white scarves" and "red scarves" in the future. The Han Dynasty has exhausted its strength, and I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to return to the sky.
Guo Jia naturally won't say these words to Xun Yu, but he has to think about the future, after all, he doesn't have the whole family to Xun Yu as a backstage, Guo Jia can only trust himself.
