In December, the snow fell heavily in the Xiliang area, and the people began to hide at home for the winter. Thanks to Guo Yi's policy, the people of Wudu County, who had been affected by the war, could be covered with warm quilts and have plenty of food, which was their first winter in many years!

On the 30th, Guo Yi presided over a simple celebration ceremony. In the year of Ruixue Mega Harvest, the snow is the hope of a good harvest in the New Year. The people were grateful to Guo Yi, and they chattered around him and said some short words from their parents. Guo Yi also has no official stand, does not wear an umbrella, does not wear a mink fur, and celebrates with the people in the heavy snow.

"May the fireworks be peaceful and happy in the world." Looking at the peaceful and tranquil scene, Guo Yi's pride arose. After celebrating with the people, he returned to the mansion to continue to deal with government affairs.

Long Yi handed over a secret report, "My lord, it was sent by Lord Fan. ”

Guo Yi hurriedly opened the envelope, and the letter said that Fan Xin was temporarily stationed in Baishi County, although Han Sui had already supported Hanyang County, but the strength of the defenders of Longxi County was still strong, and now he had only 200 people in his hands, and after the heavy snow stopped, he would return to Wudu to ask for guilt.

Putting down the letter, Guo Yi asked, "How many soldiers and horses can we recruit at the moment?" ”

Long Yi immediately replied, "It's about three thousand, but it's just a lack of training, and it's difficult to make a weapon." ”

"What is the situation of grain and grass in the county?"

Zhang Ting replied, "About a year." If it is a bumper harvest this year, it is another story. ”

Guo Yi pondered, there is no need to worry about grain and grass. It's just that the problem of this strength is too serious, and the Qiang people have told him that in the face of absolute numbers, the role of elite soldiers is not obvious. After all, not all commanders are called "Sun 100,000".

"There's no way to recruit from other counties? The population of Wudu is indeed too small. ”

There were more than 60 million people in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and Xiliang was a sparsely populated area, which was partially consumed by Guo Yi, and there was the impact of perennial wars.

Zhang Ting offered a plan: "Why don't the generals go to Hanzhong to recruit troops?" There are hundreds of thousands of households in Hanzhong, and at least five or six thousand people can be recruited. ”

"Conscription from Hanzhong?" Guo Yi looked at the map, and it was indeed next door to Wudu. Just like that, conscription needs to be reported to the imperial court.

Zhang Ting seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry too much. The emperor ordered the general to ride westward alone, didn't he allow the general to recruit troops by himself? The general is just in his position, and he is just planning his own government. ”

"It's up to you!" After making up his mind, Guo Yi immediately ordered, "Let Long San go to Hanzhong to recruit troops." Looking for someone around twenty years old, young and strong! Come back before the end of January! ”

Long Yi asked, "How many people?" ”

"Recruit first, and if it doesn't work, brush it down." Guo Yi has high requirements for soldiers, and ordinary people may not be able to withstand this kind of training, and it is always right to have more recruiting points in the early stage.

"No."

Ryuuji ran in and handed over a paperwork, "Lord! Dong Zhuo asks you to go to the army in three days to discuss the enemy's situation. ”

"Dong Zhuo?" Guo Yi felt a little inexplicable, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should be done by Huangfu Song, and it is Dong Zhuo's turn to be a deputy general to speak?

Zhang Ting hurriedly said: "General, be careful of deception!" ”

Long Yi also had no good impression of Dong Zhuo, and said angrily: "If he dares to do something wrong, I will slash him with one sword!" ”

"Don't panic!" Guo Yi patted Zhang Ting's shoulder and said solemnly: "I'm not here, you will handle the government affairs of Wudu County on your behalf, don't make a mess!" ”

Zhang Ting was overjoyed, and immediately promised, "No!" "This is a great opportunity. In terms of strategy, Guo Yi usually handles it himself, in military affairs, Long Yi and others are in charge, and in internal affairs, Yang Bo is an absolute talker. This time Yang Bo is not there, Guo Yi is out, although it may only be a few days, it is also an opportunity to prove his ability.

"Long Yi, you go with me. The others don't have to bring it, the two of us can come and go freely. Guo Yi expected that Dong Zhuo would not have the courage to murder him, and he might be able to make a good name for himself if he went to the meeting alone.

The two rode the high-quality war horses of the Qiang people and set off against the snow. The two approached and hurried, but they arrived at Dong Zhuo's camp in half a day.

At this time, both the besieging and defending sides of the city died down, and neither wanted to fight in the snow. Huangfu Song's troops seemed to be trying to hold off Han Sui's reinforcements, and moved five miles to the valley to the northeast. Dong Zhuojun was still stationed on the river bank in the south of Shangguo City, and the two armies were far apart, so Dong Zhuo had the strength to make a name for himself.

"It's General Pingxi?" The person in charge of greeting is a Northwest man, who is obviously mixed with the Qiang people, and looks quite handsome, which is quite in line with the appearance requirements of the "uncle" in later generations.

Guo Yi is now nearly two meters tall, and he is half a head taller in front of this group of strong men of mixed race in the northwest. In the past two years, the horse career has also made the muscles of the whole body develop a lot. The original standard elegant and handsome young player now has signs of a tiger's back. From Zhao Yun's template to Lu Bu's template, Guo Yi is also helpless, this meat on his body can't be cut, right?

Long Yi on the side is also nearly 1.9 meters tall, as the number one general under Guo Yi, he has the qualifications to win a hundred battles, not to mention anything else, he does not lose to anyone in terms of bearing!

"Exactly. The shogun's name was not consulted. ”

"The last general, Zhang Ji. General Guo is really a dragon and a phoenix, and he is also an extraordinary person! This is the first official meeting between the two, Zhang Ji still has a good impression of him, and even secretly envy him, but he knows in his heart that Guo Yi can only be his opponent.

Guo Yi's only impression of Zhang Ji was his wife. This stunning beauty, who is rumored to be Mrs. Zou, has made a generation of heroes Cao Cao lose his eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and general Dian Wei. It can be regarded as the biggest example of a man's loss from visiting a kiln in the past 5,000 years in China! This incident almost changed the fate of Cao Wei's military group.

After a brief greeting, Zhang Ji took Guo Yi into the big tent. At this time, the stove was burning warmly in the big tent, and there was a wine banquet, although it was sumptuous, but no one moved the chopsticks, and they were sitting in a precarious position waiting for tonight's protagonist to appear!

The guards shouted, "General Pinxi has arrived!" ”

Dong Zhuo quickly left the table, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said politely: "General Guo has worked hard, come and warm up with a glass of wine." ”

"Lord Dong is polite." Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Guo Yi also followed him politely.

The host and guest were seated, and Guo Yi sat under Dong Zhuo, second only to Dong Zhuo, which was a normal difference between the host and the guest. Long Yi held a steel gun and a dragon tail gun on his back, standing behind Guo Yi, with a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, paying attention to everyone on the field.

Dong Zhuo looked at Long Yi's mighty and heroic appearance, and his eyes were very red! None of these people under his own hands can compare! Envy is envy, judging from the calibers of all parties, those who want to dig up the dragoon camp are basically unreasonable. These people are the dead soldiers brought out by Guo Yi from his hometown. Not to mention being born and dying together, it is a simple geographical relationship, which also makes Dong Zhuo, a Xiliang person, only stare dryly.

Everyone celebrates the arrival of the New Year together, saying some words of blessing, although these clichés are said every year, everyone is reciting it backwards, but the atmosphere of this New Year is not good!

Having said that, after a few rounds of drinking, everyone's faces were a little flushed.

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands, looked at Zhang Ji and said, "Today's distinguished guests come to the door, please ask Mrs. Zun to come out and sing a song." ”

Zhang Ji's face darkened, and he nodded helplessly.
