Guo Jia then recommended seven or eight family talents to Yuan Shao, those talents are indeed both famous and talented, Yuan Shao was very satisfied with it, although he didn't understand why the golden conscience confidant in front of him tried his best to recommend talents to himself, but those talents were obvious, Guo Jia couldn't deceive himself, with Yuan Shao's rich knowledge, but he couldn't see what Guo Jia could deceive him, his heart was full of hope again, and he was very grateful to Guo Jia and thanked him, and gave Guo Jia a beloved war horse. Guo Jia smiled without hesitation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's just that Yuan Shao carefully prepared millions of dollars worth of generous gifts for recruiting Tian Feng in advance, and there is no possibility of asking for it back, if he forcibly asks for it, it will be greatly detrimental to his reputation, Yuan Shao had to look at the pile of generous gifts with resentment, turned around and left the Tian family, preparing to go to the trial house to recruit the judge.

Tian Feng naturally didn't want Yuan Shao's things, so he wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give them to Jin Liang, Jin Liang didn't see the millions of money, so he rewarded it to Guo Jia, who had the most meritorious contributions in this battle for talents, Guo Jia was not polite at all and accepted them all.

Tian Feng smiled and said to Fu Zhu: "Fengxiao, this kid, gave Yuan Shao a pit, and Yuan Shao is still grateful to him. ”

"Yes, although the talents he recommended to Yuan Shao are all famous and talented, how can they have a bad character, it is best to fight for power and profit, these people are mixed with Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Judge and others, I think he Yuan Shao can still have Ning Ri!" He laughed.

"Gonghe, this time you look carefully from the side, compare Yuan Shao with our lord, who do you think is the lord of the world?" Guo Jia ignored the two of them talking and laughing at him. Changing the subject, he asked.

"Isn't that obvious? Compare Yuan Shao with our father-in-law. Like fireflies to the sun and the moon. Frustrated, he saw through Yuan Shao's lust. I was very grateful for Jin Liang's appearance, and I couldn't help but pat Jin Liang's ass between the words.

"Don't say that, although Yuan Shao himself has major flaws in temperament, he is also quite courageous and good at knowing people, plus their Yuan family is the fourth and third princes of the old officials all over the world, plus he himself has a good reputation as a polite and virtuous corporal. In this stage of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, we still need to unite with him to fight against the huge Xiliang Dong Zhuo for the time being, so in the next few years, we can no longer go toe-to-toe with Yuan Shao. Jin Liang waved his hand, signaling everyone to pay attention to the overall situation, and to know that it was still necessary to use Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo together.

"Since the lord deliberately co-opted Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo, he should not offend Yuan Shao for the sake of his humble position." Tian Feng said a little embarrassed.

"Yuan Hao, although we want to win over Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo, our alliance with him has a bottom line, and not everything can be compromised. The first bottom line is that I can't give a talent like Yuan Hao to a mediocre lord like him, and I absolutely can't bear this. Jin Liang said this sentence with emotion. He really wasn't lying, he had always been reluctant to let those real talents secretly vote.

It's a pity that he is not the real savior, and he does not have the ability to gather all the talents under his command, so he can only slowly gather them one by one.

"Yuan Hao, don't be so grateful to Dade at every turn, the lord doesn't like you like this, and besides, it is his responsibility to identify a virtuous person like us from so many mediocre talents and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, you don't have to be so grateful to him." Guo Jia gaged like this, although his words prevented Tian Feng from kneeling down to Jin Liang, it strengthened Tian Feng's deep gratitude to Jin Liang.

Jin Liang understood what Guo Jia meant, and the wise men under his command had to express gratitude with etiquette every time, and over time, that gratitude would become worthless, and it was best to let them put that gratitude in their hearts and reflect it in their specific actions in the future, so that gratitude would be valuable.

Fu Zhu watched quietly on the side, and felt more and more that the tacit understanding between Guo Jia and Jin Liang, the monarch and minister, was really good, but there was really some connection in the dark.

Early the next morning, Jin Liang, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei left the Tian family under the protection of five hundred warriors of the Flying Tiger Army.

In accordance with Jin Liang's instructions, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu began to actively contact the close families, vassal families, and vassal Hanshu of each family, so that they could support Jin Liang with a clear banner, and at the same time allocate wasteland from the Tian family, the Fu family and those families to be reclaimed by the Tuntian Corps of the Central Army, and jointly lend 2 million stone of grain to the Central Army, and actively negotiate with Mr. Yan Mu, the head of the dedication group, to discuss further cooperation, and organize and train 4,000 elites to be assigned to the Central Army, and at the same time select elite talents from each family to be sent to Xiangyang for Jin Liang to interview. Jin Liang will select dozens of them to fill official positions at all levels.

"Lord, it's not good, there is not a grain of grain in the official warehouse in Nanyang!" When Jin Liang and the others arrived at the north gate of Xiangyang, they were stopped by Chen Lin, who was already waiting at the north gate of Xiangyang, and Chen Lin said sadly.

Jin Liang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "There is not a grain in the official warehouse?!" Isn't there any granary in the whole Jinliang? ”

"Lord, I personally looked at all the granaries, and they were all empty, but ......," Chen Lin hesitated.

"But what?"

"But there are very obvious signs of new ruts near those granaries, and I think the grain must have been pulled out a few days ago, but it was pulled to those places, and we don't know anything about it now."

Chen Lin looked helpless: "The grain stored in the army is only enough for five days, and the grain that Mr. Tang Long is buying everywhere may not arrive in Xiangyang for another month." ”

"What?! There are only five days left to store food?! Jin Liang knew the terrible consequences of the lack of food in the army, which could result in mutiny at least and collapse at worst, so he was shocked when he heard such news.

"The lord knew that 500,000 stone grain and grass would be transported from Xuzhou, so he allocated 500,000 stone grain to Han Hao's 200,000 Tuntian soldiers a few days ago, and all of them have been distributed, but he didn't want to realize that the 500,000 stone grain and grass transported from Xuzhou were looted by tens of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in Pingyuan County, and there were no particles left, otherwise those 500,000 stone grains were enough to support the army for three months." Chen Lin said angrily.

"Those hateful Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, I want to do my best to sweep them away!" Hearing that the group of yellow turbans had plundered the life-saving grain and grass of the Central Army, Jin Liang's blood poured pupils, and he almost lost his mind at that time, and he wanted to immediately raise troops to wash Qingzhou in blood. A revenge for the robbery of grain.

"My lord. Never. Our army has been stockpiling grain for less than five days, and I am afraid that if we can't get out of Jingzhou, we will run out of food and disperse! Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded.

"Then what do you say?!" It was the first time Jin Liang had encountered such a thing, and the terrible consequences of the lack of food in the army were hovering in his mind, making him so distracted that he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it in his eagerness.

"First of all, it is necessary to quickly investigate the disappearance of grain in the official warehouse in Xiangyang and quickly recover the stolen official grain.

Secondly, we must quickly notify the Zhen family, the Tian family, and the Fu family. Let the three of them send grain to Xiangyang as soon as possible, and be sure to ensure that there is no shortage of military food. Then, find out the truth about the robbery of 500,000 stone of grain. As far as I know, Mr. Tang Long's domestic servants have followed Mr. Tang Long for many years, and they are all cautious people, and they transport grain day and night, how can those yellow turban thieves know the route of the grain team and can loot it, there must be a lot of strange things. The head of Guo Jia's analysis is Dao.

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Chen Lin, who was so frightened that he had no master, quickly calmed down, nodded and said, "Lord." Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, please give the order quickly. ”

"Bong Filial Piety. Your secret department has been prepared, then start investigating the disappearance of the grain in the official warehouse and the robbery of 500,000 stone of grain, especially the disappearance of the grain in the official warehouse, you must give me a definite news within two days. ”

Guo Jia hurriedly took the order and left.

"Evil, you send someone to inform the Zhen family, the Tian family and the Fu family, tell them about the situation, let them transport the grain as soon as possible, you don't have to transport too much at once, each family can transport forty or fifty thousand stones, survive the last month, I will let those thieves know the strength of our Central Army!"

Dian Wei said: "If there is no letter from the owner, I am afraid that the three families will not believe that such a thing happened in Xiangyang!" ”

Jin Liang thought about it, who would have thought that the disappearance of grain in the official warehouse and the robbery of grain transportation would happen at the same time, so he had to write three letters and hand them over to several shrewd soldiers in the Xuanfu camp to deliver the letters.

"Kong Zhang, as the Taishou of Nanyang, you have to pretend that this incident did not happen, so as not to shake the morale of the army!" Jin Liang is worried that if he lets his soldiers know the news that the military food is about to run out, then his hard work for so many days will be in vain, you must know that most of the Central Army is still integrated by Baibo and Black Mountain thieves, these people do not have a minimum loyalty to Jin Liang, as soon as they hear that the food is exhausted, it is estimated that they will not be able to wait for a day and immediately run back to the cottage.

"But it turns out that when the county officials took me to count the granary, they all saw it with their own eyes!" Chen Lin also thought of Jin Liang's worries, and his face became more and more pale.

"Evil, you take five hundred elite soldiers to follow Kong Zhang, and arrest all those county officials, if they have already spread the news, those who hear the news must also arrest all of them!" Xiangyang hurriedly ordered.

"It's late! Lord, someone has already spread the news to the entire Xiangyang, and the central army knows that there is not a single grain of grain in the official warehouse, and they even know that the 500,000 stone grain has been robbed, and they also know that the grain in the army is only enough for five days! Dong Zhao rushed to the scene and quickly informed Jin Liang of this extremely unfavorable news.

"Someone spread the news?! Who is behind this?! Jin Liang was originally very worried that the news of the food run out would reach the Central Army, but once what he was worried about happened, Jin Liang calmed down and secretly wondered who wanted to put him to death.

"Lord, now is not the time to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, there is chaos in the camp of the Central Army, many Montenegrin bandit leaders are clamoring to pull the pole back to Montenegro, if the lord arrives one day late, I am afraid that the Central Army will collapse!" Dong Zhao hurriedly urged.

"Okay, let's go to the Central Army camp now!"

The first division and the fourth division of the first army of the Central Army are stationed in Xiangyangli, the main force of the first division is the Bingzhou cavalry, and has always been loyal to Jin Liang, the main force of the fourth division of Lu Zhi's nephew Lu Chong is the fifth school of the Luoyang Northern Army, and now Luoyang is occupied by Dong Zhuo, they have no way to retreat, and they can endure the threat of lack of food for the time being, Jin Liang asked Lu Chong to lead the fourth division to guard the city to avoid people making waves inside, and at the same time the whole city is under martial law, and if there is any abnormal movement, immediately kill.

Jin Liangqin led the cavalry of the first division and galloped towards the central army camp outside the city.

Zhang Liao's division has gone to Liyang to garrison, and the Central Army has only stationed five divisions outside the city, which are Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Zhenggu, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Lan, among which Huang Zhong's second division Song Xian's second archery brigade is still guarding Yiyang, and Wei Xu's third cavalry brigade is still escorting grain and grass, leaving only Huang Zhong's first archery brigade, Li Sheng's fourth brigade and Wang Yue's fifth brigade.

Jin Liang originally thought that the Black Mountain troops under the command of Zheng Gu, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Ran had the biggest movement, so he wanted to rush to their camp to settle the army, and just left the south gate of Xiangyang. I saw Hao Zhaofei and Ma reported: "Marshal Gao ordered me to tell the lord." The three divisions of Zhenggu, Zhangjaw, and Gaolan all knew that a large amount of grain would arrive. The morale of the army has been settled, only the fourth brigade under Huang Zhong's second division is still turbulent, and Marshal Gao has led the camp to take control, and I believe that under the control of Marshal Gao and Marshal Huang, the situation will soon be stable. ”

"Why were the three divisions able to settle down, they were originally Black Mountain thieves?!" Dong Zhao didn't quite understand.

"Dong Junshi didn't know that they originally followed their respective Qu Shuai to plunder around, and they were also hungry and full. I have long been accustomed to it, since joining our Central Army, not only two meals a day, but also very rich, there are radish, green vegetables, bean sprouts, tofu, occasionally pork, fish meat, training performance and additional meals, they are quite satisfied, plus knowing that a large amount of grain is about to arrive in Xiangyang, they quickly settled down. I don't want to go back to the cottage to live the hungry and full life before. ”

After Hao Zhao said this, Jin Liang also remembered. The ordinary life of the Black Mountain thieves is better than that of the White Wave Thieves, and it is not much worse than the officers and soldiers of other forces, but compared with the treatment of the Central Army under Jin Liang, it is far worse. Jin Liang set up quartermasters at all levels, which were served by the officers and men of the Jin Liang Flying Tiger Army, and all the materials were distributed by them, and the military commanders at all levels had no right to interfere, let alone embezzle, which was enough to ensure that the food expenses of the Central Army were not deducted by the generals at all levels, and all of them were delegated in full, so that they could make some nutritious meals for the officers and soldiers at all levels in different ways.

"Li Sheng, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, what is he doing to eat, and he can't control the soldiers under him?" Jin Liang asked angrily.

"Lord, in fact, all the rumors have expanded from the Fourth Brigade to other units, and the rumors of the Fourth Brigade are from the Fourth Brigade Commander Li Sheng, Deputy Brigade Marshal Wang Du, I heard that they went to Xiangyang the day before, I don't know who they met, and after coming back last night, they began to plan a mutiny, how could his soldiers only be willing to disperse, unwilling to follow him to attack Xiangyang." Hao Zhao snorted coldly.

"Li Sheng?! The royal capital?! This Li Sheng seems to be the son of the Li family in Longxi, Wang Du seems to be the son of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the legend is that he is the nephew of Wang Yun, and now the Li family in Longxi and the Taiyuan Wang family are temporarily attached to Dong Zhuo, and it is not surprising that these two people have such a reaction. Dong Zhao analyzed: "I just don't know who they saw when they entered Xiangyang?!" ”

"This also needs Guo Fengxiao's dark department to investigate carefully, I regret that when I got the information that Li Sheng and Wang Du colluded with Pan Yin, I didn't do it in time, but now I have ended up so passively, it seems that I really have to start first in the future!" The reason why Jin Liang has not attacked these two people is that they are very hidden, the news that they came from the Longxi Lijia and the Taiyuan Wang family respectively is still Wu Yuan told Jin Liang, Jin Liang only knew, and secondly, they have more than 1,000 private soldiers loyal to themselves in their hands, Jin Liang is unwilling to kill, so he has been waiting for them to take the initiative, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was their fatal blow.

Jin Liang thought that Li Ru, Li Dao, and Li Su in Dong Zhuo's army were inextricably linked with the Li family in Longxi, and thought that the puppet Situ Wang Yun who he castrated with his own hands was the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, Jin Liang shuddered, this Li Sheng and Wang must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, not only to get rid of them, but their private soldiers and their relatives can not stay.

All the way through the camps of Gao Shun, Zhenggu, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Lan, Jin Liang stood on the red rabbit horse and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Central Army who were looking forward to it. The officers and men of the Central Army gathered around one after another, looking at Jin Liang sadly, and many people's eyes were scattered, as if they had no hope for the future.

Seeing that his morale was low, Jin Liang hurriedly shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Central Army, our Central Army does only have five days of rations left, but the Zhen family, the Tian family, and the Fu family of the Jizhou clan have all taken refuge in me, and the grain they support can reach Xiangyang within three days, and the millions of stones of grain purchased by my father-in-law, Mr. Tang Long, from all over the country have also arrived in Yiyang through the Yellow River waterway, and then transported from Yiyang to Xiangyang, and our grain will be able to eat for at least two years."

A year later, General Han Hao's hundreds of thousands of acres of tuntian will be harvested, and we will have a steady stream of grain at that time.

Everyone, please rest assured, if you have a bite to eat with my Jinliang, there will never be a shortage of everyone, everyone who has dry will eat dry together, and everyone who has thin will drink thin together! ”

After dozens of days of getting along day and night, the whole army knew that this lord had almost no words except for occasionally deceiving those soldiers who had been demoted to abandon the army due to military discipline.

Jin Liang cleverly devised tricks to deceive the enemy, but he had never deceived the soldiers who were loyal to him, and this time would definitely not be an exception, and the eyes of the soldiers who were full of confidence in Jin Liang gradually brightened. Those Montenegrin soldiers who had newly joined the Central Army watched with an attitude of being at ease when they came, anyway, they still have food now, and they will talk about it when they don't have anything to eat. Jin Liang stood in the saddle, and the red rabbit horse walked forward slowly.

Jin Liang raised the stone dragon broadsword, looked at the sky and waved, and shouted: "At this time of crisis, if someone spreads rumors for no reason, if someone threatens to leave the Central Army, they are all enemies of our Central Army, and our Han Dynasty is the enemy, and it is not matter if you kill them, please see the people around you clearly, if anyone spreads rumors and makes trouble, you must immediately take him down and hand him over to the Xuanfu Battalion for handling."
