Chapter 429: The Lobbyist

Not long after the three of them walked in the school field, Zhang Fei occasionally looked at Yu Poison, saw that Yu Poison was silent, and said: "I believe in Guo Gongzi"

Guo Jia laughed, took away the wine jug and wanted to speak, Yu Poison was also thoughtful, and then sighed with a resigned expression, and heard Zhang Fei laugh and said, "But I don't believe Yuan Shao." ”

The smile on Guo Jia's face paused, and he stuffed the spout into his mouth again, and said inarticulately: "You guys are so boring, do you know?" ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand people, in fact, there are only about 10,000 people who take it, if it is elite, Yu Qushuai has three or four thousand, and I also have more than two thousand, what will Yuan Shao do if he takes it? Those who go to war go to war, but the people here don't want to fight, so what will happen if they are attached? If he doesn't listen to the call, Yuan Shao is nothing more than beating a group of people, killing a group of people, and then he has to rebel. ”

Zhang Fei shook his head, "As for Yu Qushuai, he also said that he can also fight for Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, but he has bad deeds, once he is controlled by others, he has offended those scholars under Wang Kuang in the past, who will guarantee that he will be safe and sound when he belongs to Yuan Shao?" ”

"Believe in Yuan Shao's protection? Yuan Shao is the leader of the largest family elected by the Shi clan today, but Yu Qushuai does things for the people, and the classes are different, can these two people consider the same? Sooner or later, there will be problems. will have to surrender, if you can struggle, then struggle, at least show your own strength, and also make Yuan Shao pay more attention. As for Zhang, he must fight. My eldest brother was so targeted in sour dates, he didn't even have a fart, and he was sorry for those grievances if he didn't fight. ”

Guo Jia had to admit that from his standpoint, he also felt that what Zhang Fei said was not wrong, and he saw it extremely thoroughly, he looked at Zhang Fei with some surprise, "I don't think you are confused, your eldest brother's recklessness is rare in the world, why don't you persuade him?" ”

The three of them passed by Zhu Ming, who was chatting with several soldiers, Zhu Ming threw a leather bag to Guo Jia, Guo Jia took it, opened it and smelled it, it was wine, thanked him, and then handed the empty wine jug to Zhu Ming without hesitation, and drank by himself while walking.

Zhang Fei smiled and squinted, "Reckless? ”

Guo Jia took another sip and hid the wine bag, "Not reckless enough? ”

"Five years ago, I was as old as you, maybe one or two years younger than you, a wealthy merchant in Zhuo County, with hundreds of customers at home, half a hundred slaves and maids, and more than 100 acres of land and shops. Now there is no one under my command, no slaves and maids, and no fields, but there are tens of thousands of brothers around me, friends everywhere I go, two or three thousand subordinates, and I still have a reputation, the name of courage is the best party, and I have been an official for a few days. You say it's reckless? ”

At the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties, there were seven branches to suppress merchants and supply the troops guarding the frontier, and sons-in-law, innkeepers, slaves, criminals and merchants would be transferred to the frontier guards.

Zhang Fei was born as a businessman, that is, the rich party, and he is still inferior in the universal concept, and now from the perspective of reputation, his label as a businessman has gradually dissipated, and more people's impression of him has become a fierce general.

Thinking like this, Guo Jia was slightly stunned.

Although I have heard that Liu Zheng has done some wrong things from time to time over the years, Liu Zheng's reputation is getting louder and louder, and the three brothers are reckless, and their status is really humble

He really wanted to say to Zhang Fei, which of those things could kill you, is not reckless enough? But he didn't ask, because he knew that a civil official like him who relied on strategy might die if he was a little wrong, but since he was out, he was prepared, let alone a military general like Zhang Fei.

Perhaps, dying well is also a kind of destination for them.

"Looks like I'm blind." Guo Jia smiled, "However, it seems that you and I can't be colleagues anymore?" ”

"To be honest, my eldest brother values you, but I don't think you can be so powerful at your age" Zhang Fei looked up at the sky and smiled, "Maybe you will become very powerful in the future." But at the moment, do you want me to change my principles and discuss with people with ill intentions like Yuan Shao for your sake? Dealing with the possible Hongmen feast? You are not worthy of me entrusting my brothers to Yuan Shao, you are simply a newcomer by Yuan Shao's side, and you are not reused. I can trust you, but I can't trust you to this extent. ”

Yu Poison nodded, "Even if Yide believes in you, I don't dare to believe you." You're too young. Unless you help me persuade Yuan Shao to retire first, I can't think about it. ”

"Hey, what you say hurts people." The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, "My uncle is here, he can speak beside Yuan Meng's master." ”

"Can your uncle represent Yuan Shao? Which side is he on? What Yuan Shao said, can he object? Zhang Fei disagreed, "Let me tell you so." My eldest brother has always been accurate in looking at people, he has some of his methods quite powerful, he recognizes you, and Zhang also hopes that you can come. But you don't come, I don't think we have anything to lose. ”

Zhang Fei looked at Yu Poison, "I know that if you and your friends are here today, I know that you are here to persuade us to wait." Yu Qushuai and I decided to let people lead you up the mountain and show you the scenery of each village, which was all calculated by a group of our brothers. If you're going to say it must have no effect, that's impossible, right? After all, you and Youruo are like that. Tell me, just how do we feel? ”

At this time, the three of them just walked out of a camp gate, outside the camp gate is a cliff, there are wooden stakes to block the guardrail, several soldiers are enjoying the scenery nearby, see Zhang Fei and Yu Poison, and say hello. Guo Jia leaned over to the guardrail, looked at the black mountains in the twilight, and took a deep breath of the mountain breeze, "Very good, anyway, beautiful and kind things, unless this person is really wolf-hearted and greedy, otherwise, he will feel very comfortable." Those who have read some of the books of the sages will feel better. This is a beautiful scenery outside the world, Guo is fascinated, and he is also moved by compassion. ”

Zhang Fei smiled, "Look." We'll let a bunch of people come up with the best possible and beneficial solutions, and then, with a little bit of information about the enemy leader, we'll be able to choose the best of them. Do you say you're important? Yes, it's important for some people, but for us, you're like a chicken. ”

"Because most of my eldest brother knows how to deal with problems this way. It may be very slow and clumsy at first, but there will always be a few people who will slowly open their minds and become masters like you in the future. Not to mention that we also opened a private school, and a large number of people studied in it. Choosing the best, not as good as you? Not necessarily, right? ”

Guo Jia chuckled.

"That's right. My eldest brother looks at people accurately, and almost every person he mentioned is quite capable, but Zhang thinks that the eldest brother called you over to simply satisfy his own vanity, yes, it is vanity. He is like a child who wants to collect what he has heard of, and when he collects it, he treats it as a treasure and a confidant. But on the contrary, many brothers such as me lost the opportunity. Yes, we will be obedient, after all, the eldest brother is the most powerful, it is our lord, we have to listen to him, and we will respect the person he values. But many brothers are working hard, trying to get closer to the position next to the eldest brother, why do they have to give it to you? If you can think of it, so can we. ”

The mountain breeze was blowing, a little cool, Guo Jia took out the wine bag and took a sip of wine, and suddenly laughed, "Commander Zhang, what are you?" That's not right for me, right? It's good to talk to your big brother. ”

"Because I've heard of you, you also sent a challenge letter to Gongda. I'm going to show you the binoculars today, not only to let you see the essence of our waiting and let you know about us, but I also want to tell you that if you come, we are welcome, and if you don't come, it doesn't matter if we wait. If you specialize in the art industry, we may not be worse than you. Also, if you can be almost pushed out of the watchtower by me, I am really angry that he is stubborn, and I want to kill him, if you lose one day, you will be the same, and unlike Youruo, I will push you down. Because you chose not to go with us, and because you made my eldest brother value it. ”

"Commander Zhang is very confident." Guo Jia smiled, and Yu Xuan also laughed, "You are more confident in what you say, it sounds like you are not afraid that I will push you down at this time." ”

"Don't dare." Guo Jia immediately took a step back and stayed away from the cliff guardrail.

"You're as thin as a chicken, it's the same if you take a few steps back." Zhang Fei patted Guo Jia's leg with a snake spear, "I've waited for the sword mountain and the sea of fire to come over, and I have my own confidence." It's okay if you look down on me, or if you look down on me. From Zhuoxian to Youzhou, to Yingchuan and Hanoi, Zhang has been able to get to where he is now, not because no one looks down on him, but because he followed my eldest brother step by step recklessly. I'm waiting for the three brothers, it's not that I'm boasting, I broke through in the wind and rain, I really can't be the general of one party? Yuan Shao, I can kill with my eyes closed! ”

"Well, got it. Pretty good. Then go down and kill. I went back to sleep. Don't take the flag of the three of us and the others, it's best to send a few people to lead me out tomorrow. See you again in the future, Guo hopes that you and I are still not enemies. Guo Jia raised the wine bag.

Zhang Fei snatched it, looked stunned, and after shaking it, he found that the entire wine bag had bottomed out, "If you continue like this, how many years can you live?" Wine hurts the body, exercise and exercise. ”

"When we meet in Pingshui, we can be so important to Commander Zhang, Guo should work hard to live." Guo Jia arched his hand and turned to leave.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Pingshui meets and says this, it's because I'm a lobbyist. Same with you. It's just that you failed because you were incapacitated, and I had something that you didn't have, which made you shake, and I succeeded. ”

Guo Jia paused, didn't look back, then shrugged his shoulders and strode forward, "Treat people with sincerity, a great lobbyist." Admire. ”

Seeing Guo Jia leaving, Yu Poison came to Zhang Fei's side and smiled, "What should I do now?" Xun Youruo seems to be destined to miss Liu Gongzi. Guo Fengxiao's guy can't be used by us now. Originally, we could still maneuver, but you ordered the brothers to settle the people and fight tomorrow, but we didn't even have much chance to maneuver. ”

"What's the fight, it's only been a day, and they're in a hurry to come up, do you say we're in a hurry or are they in a hurry? Let's just talk about it casually, just to force Youruo and Guo Jia, don't you think it's good now? ”

"Haha, it's Yu who doesn't know how to be flexible. Yide is really powerful. Yu Poison was stunned for a moment, then laughed, Zhang Fei yawned, "Where am I powerful, just work together." As for settling the people, it was to guard against Yuan Shao's sudden attack. Tomorrow, you and I will send someone down to cut down some trees, so as not to be attacked by Yuan Shao, and by the way, we will make some traps for rolling stones and trees, and the others will wait and see what happens. Maybe if we show our determination to fight, Yuan Shao will succumb? If he doesn't give in, someone will come to the rescue, right? ”

He waved his hand and said, "I'm sleepy, I'll go to sleep." Oh, by the way, you and I have sent someone to take care of Guo Tu and Youruo, don't let the two of them run away. The telescope can't be hidden, alas, with this, the eldest brother should also see clearly Youruo's temperament, but I did something bad with good intentions and leaked the telescope in advance. ”

"It's okay, you take the initiative to expose it, so as not to let him flow out of my side in the future, so that people will know that it is difficult for Yu to explain." Yu Poison smiled, "However, if you want to talk about the rescuers, I will send some people out of the trail at night to inform Luo City to prepare?" ”

"Yu Qushuai looks at it. Zhang used the method of trading with them, and I really don't know how many days it can be delayed. I'll wait for the start of defense, Guo Tu can't stay for a long time, it may make Yuan Benchu unable to hold back, attack over, can you wait for someone to come I don't know what, although we work together, but the first time I decide, it's not bad to be so nervous, right? ”

"Anyway, it's better than Yu."

"Haha, I don't know if my eldest brother knows, will he blame me for making my own decisions."

Laughter erupted, and soon after, a fire lit up around the school grounds, and the two walked through the firelight, preparing to go back to their respective houses, but on the way, they ran into Guo Tu and were stopped again.

Guo Jia had already found someone to help arrange a room, and naturally saw Guo Tu's actions, he recalled the distribution of the number of people in the school field during this back and forth process, deduced the possibility of Zhang Fei saying that there would be a war tomorrow, and sorted out the content of the conversation with Zhang Fei along the way, which was similar to the review of the chessboard game.

When he judged that Zhang Fei didn't look like a person who would play tricks, he shook his head, knowing that Guo Tu should return in vain, and then scratched the back of his neck that was gradually itching, "Born in a businessman, it shouldn't be like this, this wine is so strong, no, no, there are many heroes in the land of Yan Zhao, and his temperament must be straightforward, but his mind may not be delicate."

I thought about it for a long time with some distress, and then I began to be distracted, and what kept popping up in my mind was that Liu Zheng had gone from a humble commoner all the way to the present day, and he also cooperated with Xun Yu to benefit the common people and create a paradise like Tiger Mountain. It's also exciting to think about.

It's just that Liu Zheng and Liu Yu have fallen out, and Brother Wen Ruo hasn't gone south yet

In the dark, suddenly a faint light flickered, and then the lights were lit in the room, Guo Jiahao drank a few sips of water to quench his thirst, and then dipped in some water, and his face began to deduce on the desk with excitement. On the other side, Guo Tu reluctantly went out, went to Xun Chen's room and said something with a sad face, and went back to sleep

Early the next morning, at the foot of Lugu Mountain, a loud "bang" sounded in Yuan Shao's tent, and a loud shout came out, "Guo Turen!" Call the guards to call him down! Deliver! Deliver it now! If not! I'll go up the hill! ”

At this time, only Xu You and Wang Kuang were in the camp, and the scouts came in to report that they saw Zhang Feiyu's poisonous people cutting down trees on the mountainside to make traps, and there were sour jujube letters, saying that Feng Ji and others discussed the plan for treating Liu Chong, urging Yuan Shao to make a decision, it is best to go south, so Yuan Shao was so irritable.

Xu You and Guo Tu have always been at odds, but at this time, they didn't dare to instigate Yuan Shao to suspect that Guo Tu had already surrendered to the enemy, looking at the wine scattered all over the place, he frowned slightly and said, "The lord might as well wait for half a day?" ”

"How wait? If they don't come down, they'll have to wait! By then, the mountains will be solid! Yuzhou is also lost! Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Since you refuse to give in!" Then attack them! On the public day, you send someone over and ask them to hand over the people immediately, and I will go south, and let Cao Mengde bring troops to support you at that time! Ziyuan, you go to the party, let Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo support Gongjie to attack Lugut Mountain, no matter whether Zhang Yang surrenders to me or not, I will give them the general Shan Yu! ”

"Besides, no matter who comes, you will be limited to one month, and I will destroy the Deer Intestine Mountain! Zhang Fei can be caught if he can, and if he can't be caught, he will be missing! At that time, block the news, just don't let Yan Liang and Liu Bei know! When Yuan Shao said this, he slapped the case with his big hand, "Damn, where are there so many rules!" I'm the leader of the alliance! Do whatever you want! Yu Poison Zhang Fei is like this here! The same goes for those guys with sour dates! One by one, they don't want to send troops, and when Yuan passes, let them know that it is amazing! ”

Soon after, thousands of horsemen left the camp and quickly went south, Xu You sighed, but he could only prepare with Wang Kuang. However, in the evening of the same day, east of Chaoge, after the news of Yuan Shao's departure was transmitted, a force of 5,000 men left the border of Wei County and rushed towards Lujiao Mountain.

On the other side, there were more than 20,000 people riding horses from Qingzhou Qi State into Yanzhou Taishan County, heading towards the sour jujube, and at this time, Chen Lin, who was located in Bohai, had just received the news from Ji County, and when he learned what he should do, compared with the news that Liu Bei came a few days ago, the 100,000 people of the Montenegrin Army and the 10,000 troops of Gongsun Zhan stayed in Qingzhou to collect the people, and they also began to gather the army in a hurry and make a defensive posture. 11
