Linjiang City fell into chaos in only a moment, Xiao Zhong first lied about the military situation and sent nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers in the city to strictly prevent thieves from attacking, and then Xiao Yong, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Ren set a fire in the county mansion, so that Xuan Yuan was too busy to take care of himself, and even recruited people everywhere to extinguish the fire.

As a result, there were only a few people left in the prison in Linjiang City to guard the door, Guo Jia and Gan Ning fought side by side with a three-foot Qingfeng in hand, and rescued the Jinfan thief with lightning speed.

Yongchuan is in the west, so most of the defenders in the city stick to the west gate of Linjiang City, on the other hand, the defenders of the east gate withered, Guo Jia and Gan Ning led the Jinfan thieves to quickly open the east gate of the city, and fled.

On the bank of the river, Gan Ning and the brothers who reunited after the catastrophe were full of emotion, but it was not suitable to stay for a long time, although Xuan Yuan was an ignorant county order, but such a major event as robbing the prison, it was not impossible for him to send someone to hunt him down, so Gan Ning said goodbye to the brothers and planned to leave with Guo Jia and travel all over the world.

"Big brother! What do you mean by that? Will you forsake our brothers? "The Jinfan thief is famous from far and near, and the friendship is also extraordinary, and now everyone is panicked when they hear that Gan Ning is leaving.

Gan Ning sighed and said: "A certain and the brothers have been fighting grievances over the years, acting chivalrous and righteous, although the punishment and elimination of evil is effective, but it has always been difficult to become a big weapon, and now it is like this, I wanted to kill the dog thief of Xuanyuan, but on the contrary, the brothers suffered from prison, and I wanted to find the hero of the world, devote myself to the account, and make a modest contribution to helping the world. ”

The Jinfan thieves immediately expressed their willingness to follow Gan Ning to join the male lord, but Gan Ning waved his hand and refused, firstly, he had no purpose himself, and secondly, this person's powerful posture was always too big a goal, which would only increase right and wrong.

Everyone was helpless, so they had to agree with Gan Ning to separate for the time being, and he said that if Gan Ning was summoned, even if it was thousands of miles or thousands of miles, he would definitely come to vote.

On the water of the Rosewood River, a flat boat flutters down the river to the east.

Guo Jia and Gan Ning stood side by side, looking at the Jinfan thief who was gradually moving away and reluctant to cling to the shore, Guo Jia felt a feeling, and said loudly:

Kill one person in ten steps, don't stay for thousands of miles, brush off your clothes and go to hide your name and name deeply.

……

Two days later, Guo Jia and his entourage had left Yizhou and entered the boundary of Jingzhou.

After Jinping went ashore, Guo Jia looked at the two Gan Ning, who couldn't let go of the scroll, and quipped: "When Gan Xingba, the Jinfan thief who laughed at my sour and rotten scholar, why did he also bury his head in hard reading now?" Could it be that you are afraid that someone in Jingzhou will recognize you, so you pretend to be a scholar to cover up people's eyes and ears and confuse the public? ”

Gan Ning scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Fengxiao, I won't tell you, since I left Linjiang, I have admired Fengxiao's intelligence from the bottom of my heart, so this book can't be read if you don't read it." ”

In the past, Gan Ning would never look at Guo Jia, a person who seemed to be an elegant scholar on the surface, and befriended Guo Jia at first, but also because Guo Jia burned down the Changshe and bought his life with a penny, but in Linjiang City, he was a Jinfan thief Qu Shuai, who had a good martial arts, was at a loss in the face of the situation that his brother was trapped in prison, but Guo Jia made a little trick to make Linjiang City chickens fly and dogs jump, and rescued the Jinfan thieves from fire and water, after that, Gan Ning deeply understood the gap between him and Guo Jia.

Guo Jia smiled at this, and took the four brothers of the Xiao family and Gan Ning to the east together.

Jingzhou was not peaceful at this time, there were rebellions in all counties, and the person who led the soldiers and horses to suppress the rebellion was Sun Jian, who had just been named the Marquis of Wucheng by the imperial court.

"This Wuchenghou is so heroic? In a month, he put down the rebellion in the district and Xingzuo, and quickly suppressed the rebellion in the counties of Jingzhou across the border, it seems that this person is very accessible. Gan Ning sighed with feeling.

Along the way, what Guo Jia and his entourage heard the most was the deeds of Sun Jian and Jingzhou Mu Wang Ei to suppress the rebellion together, but what the people praised was how good Sun Jian was, and it basically had little to do with Wang Ei.

Guo Jia said to Gan Ning: "In terms of the courage of leading the army, Xingba and Sun Jian are not equal, and apart from that, Sun Jian is no better than Xingba. ”

Gan Ning didn't believe it, shook his head and said nothing.

After a few more days, Guo Jia and his entourage came to Changsha City, and they happened to watch a good show before entering the city.

The thirteen-year-old boy Xiao put on his armor, carried a halberd, and carried a sword at his waist, riding a white horse under the city of Changsha to look down on the guilty people.

There were countless onlookers, and Guo Jia and Gan Ning also joined in the fun, and when they saw the scene under the city, Guo Jia couldn't help but be shocked.

There were more than 100 people kneeling under the city, looking at their clothes, they were definitely big families, and the servants stood aside with their knives in their hands, just waiting for an order to wave their knives down.

After the young general made a round, he sneered and said around: "Look clearly, this is the end of going against my Sun family!" Kill! ”

What a decisive killing word!

Although Guo Jia can be regarded as murderous, don't look over, even Gan Ning's expression changed slightly.

The young general raised a human head to show the public, and said coldly: "This is the head of the head of the Changsha Tian family, he dared to slander my father in public, and even sent a servant to assassinate my father Wu Chenghou!" That's what happened to him! Since then, there has been no Tian family in Changsha City! If anyone dares to slander my father and wants to do evil to my father, first ask me if Sun Ce's sword and halberd will agree! Hum! ”

When he heard this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the young Sun Ce, but Guo Jia looked at Sun Ce thoughtfully, Sun Ce also found that Guo Jia was looking at him with his head high, looking at each other, Guo Jia saw him glaring at him angrily, laughed, and turned to leave.

After entering Changsha City and taking a short rest in a restaurant, Gan Ning drank quietly with a gloomy face.

Guo Jia knew that he had something on his mind, so he didn't ask, and he also drank with him at the moment.

After three rounds of drinking, Gan Ning couldn't help it, so he asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, all the way from Lingling County, all we heard was the prestige of Wuchenghou's rebellion and bravery, why did we hear Wuchenghou's murderous and cruel name when we arrived in Changsha, the land governed by Wuchenghou?" ”

Guo Jia can really answer this question for him, so he said: "Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, the Shi clan ranks first, the Shi clan has a status, monopolizes the official career, what the people hear, is what the Shi clan says, therefore, the Shi clan controls public opinion, Wu Cheng Hou is brave enough to quell the rebellion everywhere in Jingzhou, such as Lingling County, Wuling County and other places The Shi clan is grateful to Wu Cheng Hou, because Wu Cheng Hou came to quell the rebellion and rescued them, so these places spread the prestige of Wu Cheng Hou, and Wu Cheng Hou served as the Changsha Taishou, Presumably, it is the same as the scholar clan in Changsha City, and the two are incompatible, and now you and I see it outside the city, and the eldest son of Wucheng Hou slaughtered the Tian clan, which can be seen. Because of this, the Marquis of Wucheng did not have the heart of the scholars in Changsha, so the scholars in Changsha City would spread rumors that the Marquis of Wucheng was murderous and brutal, and it was no longer important whether the truth was true. ”

Gan Ning looked confused, and asked Guo Jia again: "Fengxiao, isn't this official just to eliminate evil and promote good?" If the people killed by Wu Chenghou are the people who should be killed, then he has done nothing wrong. Now the voices of the people in Changsha City don't seem to support Wuchenghou. ”

After taking a sip of wine, Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said: "Xingba, you are too naïve to think, Wu Chenghou is the same as you, the damned should be killed." But the family in the world is in the same spirit, and Wu Chenghou slaughtered the family so blatantly, will the other scholars in Changsha City be afraid? Yes! Wu Chenghou is resolute and resolute, who is not afraid? But it is precisely because they are afraid of Wuchenghou that they will form a group against Wuchenghou, incite the people to be dissatisfied with Wuchenghou, and secretly plan to overthrow Wuchenghou. ”

Bang dang

Gan Ning slammed the wine bowl on the table and said angrily: "Is it just to let the family run rampant?" Should you kill but can't kill, can you only swallow your anger? ”

Guo Jia took a tepid sip of wine and chuckled: "Xingba, if you are the Taishou of Changsha City, what should you do?" ”

"Huh? I don't know. Gan Ning didn't feel good in his heart, he always felt that he was holding back an evil fire, he turned his eyes and asked, "Fengxiao, what about you?" If you are a Changsha Taishou, how do you do it? ”

Guo Jia had a light smile on his face and said: "To kill or not to kill, if you kill, you will uproot the family, and killing one hundred will only backfire." If you don't kill it, then cooperate with the family and govern Changsha together, anyway, the previous Taishou did this. ”

Gan Ning listened to the reason, and asked tentatively: "Then Fengxiao, do you want to kill or not?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, looked at Gan Ning with a look of anticipation, shook his head and said, "Don't kill." ”

Gan Ning's face suddenly sank, and he turned his head in displeasure, muttering, "I missaw you." ”

Guo Jia couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to explain: "Xingba, Xingba, what are you really asking me to say about you?" Can you see a person based on rhetoric alone? You just want to listen to me and kill, but I can tell you that the Taishou of this county will never be able to kill the family clan, and I ask you, if I kill all the families in Changsha County, what will happen to the families in other surrounding counties? They will go to the state pastor to jointly sue me, but the state pastor has no choice but to attack me. And if I am the pastor of Jingzhou, I can't move the Shi clan, why? Because the gentry of other states will incite the state herdsmen to attack me. However, if I occupy at least one-third of the land in the world, let alone kill the family, it will be a monopoly on one side, and it is not impossible. ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he pondered for a long time, and said ashamedly: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, far-sighted, and I am deeply admired. ”

Immediately, Gan Ning poured wine for Guo Jia again, and said unhappily: "Fengxiao punished himself with three cups, and compared a certain with Sun Jian before, it turned out to be a roundabout saying that a certain has courage and no strategy, although it is the truth, but a certain is displeased, you punish yourself with three cups of apology, and a certain will not be investigated." ”

Guo Jia laughed after hearing this, drank three glasses of wine, and then continued to drink with Gan Ning.

As for the treatment of the family, Guo Jia is not alarmist because of the persecution, in these years, Guo Jia often wondered how Cao Wei died, how Shu Han died, as for Sun Wu, in addition to Sun Hao's tyranny, it has been the general trend.

Cao Wei was usurped by the Sima family, not by chance, but the Sima family became the representative of the scholar clan and replaced him.

The reason why Shu Han died was also because the heart of the internal scholars was towards Cao Wei, why? Because of the uneven distribution of interests and contradictions among the scholars within the Shu Han Dynasty, but Cao Wei gave the scholars the greatest power and interests, in the end, the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin was not so much that the Sima family took the country, but that the scholars ruled the world.

Guo Jia does not want to see such an ending, on the one hand, it is true that the people are more miserable under the rule of such a regime, on the other hand, such a ruling class is not strong enough, first there is the Eight Kings Rebellion, and then there is the Five Hu Chaos, and the war in China is raging, and it is almost in danger of exhaustion.

In order to establish a prosperous and powerful dynasty, the scourge of the family must be eliminated from the roots, and in this period, it is simply impossible to climb to the sky.
