Chapter 54: The Storm Rises, the Sword Reaches the Bohai Sea (Part II)

Guo Jia was the leader, leading everyone out of the house to watch, looking up and looking around, he was shocked.

The streets outside the official mansion were surrounded by water, and the villagers rubbed shoulders with each other, and there was no end in sight, and Guo Jia visually estimated that there were at least a few thousand people.

When thousands of villagers on the street saw a group of officials walking out of the official mansion, they immediately became a mess, and the noise was endless.

Zhang He and other military generals had drawn their swords out of their sheaths and protected them in front of many civil officials, and he couldn't guess the intentions of these villagers.

"Put away your blades." Guo Jia snorted.

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw that it was Guo Jia, although they had doubts, they still put away their blades.

Guo Jia saw that there were thousands of these people, and there were only eight officials outside the official mansion, if the villagers wanted to rebel or mess around, they must have already rushed into the official mansion.

This is also the reason why Guo Jia is relieved to let the generals put away their blades.

An old man among the villagers was obviously highly respected, and when he saw that many villagers were noisy and uneasy, he just waved his hand, and everyone stopped making noise.

The old man took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "Xiaomin dare to fight, dare to ask which one is Guo Taishou?" ”

Guo Jia quickly stepped forward to help the old man, smiled and said, "This is Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao." ”

The old man had just been helped up, and when he heard that it was Guo Taishou, he hurriedly knelt down, and his cheeks were full of excitement after I didn't know how many winds and frosts.

"Old man, please get up." Although Guo Jia was weak, he was able to forcibly lift the old man up, which made Guo Jia even more surprised.

Hundreds of villagers around Guo Jia knew that he was the Taishou who was not afraid of power and fought against Guo's Taishou and knelt down one after another, although the villagers on both sides of the street didn't know which one was Guo Taishou, but they saw that they knelt down in front of the official mansion, and everyone also knelt down.

Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked around, his heart was at a loss, he didn't know how to speak, and his heart was full of flavors.

He guessed that these folks were here to thank him for getting rid of the Guo bullies.

But seeing such a picture, he felt that the idea of going to fight with the Guo family for these villagers was not in vain, although it was not successful, and Xiao Zheng picked the Guo family.

Seeing thousands of people kneeling down at the same time, no one kept saying words of admiration and flattery, Guo Jia was a little anxious, he kept wandering in front of the official mansion, he was making a decision.

Yuan Tan saw such a scene for the first time in his life, and he had mixed feelings, and sighed lightly: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, maybe that's the truth." ”

Yuan Jian stood beside Yuan Tan, wanting to say something to Yuan Tan, but he didn't know how to say it, he wanted to say two words of congratulations, congratulations to the Yuan family for winning the hearts of the people of Bohai, thinking about it and feeling wrong, it was Guo Jia who won the hearts of the people, and it had nothing to do with the Yuan family.

I want to say congratulations to the Yuan family for obtaining such a genius, but it's not right, Guo Jia has always been a courtier of the Yuan family.

wanted to speak out and advise, Guo Jia won the hearts of the people of Bohai and was very unfavorable to the Yuan family, but he didn't want to be the person who fell into the ground, because he admired Guo Jia, and Guo Jia did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

He wanted to excuse Guo Jia again, to eliminate Yuan Tan's precaution against Guo Jia, and was afraid that Yuan Tan would misunderstand that he was already in Guo Jia's camp.

Yuan Jian sighed in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

"Is this the ability of the first mastermind under the lord?" Zhang He was a little surprised in his heart, and in a few days, he won the hearts of the people of Bohai, and this courage was really extraordinary.

It's just that Guo Xiong's eldest son, Guo Tu, is also a strategist under the lord's account, and even the lord doesn't want to offend, and if he has this big enmity, he will definitely be in trouble in the future.

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, finally made a decision, raised his arms and shouted: "Folks, listen to Guo's words, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has raised troops to invade the territory, and the vanguard troops will arrive in Bohai City in seven days. ”

Everyone was shocked.

The people were shocked and there was war, but the Bohai officials were surprised that Guo Jia meant to say these words to the people at this moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Guo Jia was distracted, he didn't dare to look at the people, he muttered for a long time, looked down at his feet, waved his sleeves and said softly: "Run for your life." ”

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, at this moment, thousands of people outside the official mansion already knew about it, and they were all shocked and discussed.

Yuan Tan was angry, and Guo Jia made such a decision without consulting him.

Guo Jia sighed, turned his head to the official beside him and said, "Post the list and let the people flee for their lives." He turned and walked towards the palace, looking a little tired.

Thousands of people in the streets were at a loss, and the timid people had already fled in all directions and began to run towards their homes.

The officials looked at each other and were silent.

Yuan Tan snorted coldly, and with a wave of his sleeves, he caught up with Guo Jia, wanting to reason with Guo Jia, and the officials followed.

In the hall of the official mansion, Yuan Tan looked angry and asked, "Mrs. Guo guards great authority, do you know the consequences of doing this?" ”

Guo Jia sat on the main seat and glanced at Yuan Tan, then closed his eyes and replied lazily: "There are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Bohai City, and it will become an empty city, and within a few years, Bohai's taxes and recruited soldiers and horses will be reduced by nine layers. ”

"You know in your heart, how An dares to destroy my Yuan family's foundation!" Yuan Tan said angrily.

Guo Jia still closed his eyes and recuperated, but he smiled, and he said: "Childe only looks at the surface of things, but he can't see the hidden dangers.

If you don't let the people of Bohai go, wait for Gongsun Zhan's soldiers to arrive, then there will be a lack of one of the three sieges, and the people in the city will be frightened. ”

Yuan Tan just wanted to refute, but he was speechless, and the anger on his face was replaced by deep thought.

Guo Jia said: "It must not be released, the enemy is coming, our army needs to close the city gate, do not give the enemy any chance, if not, the city will be in chaos, and we need to divide troops to suppress it, then our army will have no troops to resist the enemy." ”

"Most of the 5,000 soldiers in the barracks are Bohai people, and if the people's hearts are in turmoil, the army's mood will change, and it will be caused if they are not careful." Guo Jia paused for a moment, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp and extraordinary, he looked directly at Yuan Tan, and said two words heavily: "Mutiny!" ”

Yuan Tan was shocked by Guo Jia in a cold sweat, I don't know if it was because of Guo Jia's sharp eyes, or because of the two words mutiny in Guo Jia's mouth.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, knowing in his heart that he was careless, he didn't think about it comprehensively, he only thought about the reduction of taxes in Bohai County in the future, but forgot that the big war was imminent.

Guo Jia said again: "Do you know the Battle of Changping? ”

"Yes." Yuan Tan gave up his hand, without the pretentious and condescending attitude.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, and the Qin State killed the god Bai Qikeng to kill the Zhao State army of 400,000.

"Do you know the battle of Handan?" Guo Jia asked again.

"Yes." Yuan Tan has been impressed by Guo Jia's strategy, he has always admired people with real skills, so he naturally does not dare to hold up in front of Guo Jia.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, and Guo Jia asked him what the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan were all about.

He came from a famous family, and he naturally knows about major historical events, which can be described as a compulsory course.

Yuan Tan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he understood what Guo Jia wanted to express, and he was immediately impressed.

"Tan is young and has no plans, and I ask Guo Taishou to forgive me." Yuan Tan looked ashamed, couldn't afford it, waited for Guo Jia's forgiveness, and his attitude was sincere.
