Chapter 63: Rise in Troubled Times
Guo Jia and Zhen Yu have not seen each other for many years, this reunion made Zhen Yu have mixed feelings, when he came to Guo Jia's inn alone to see Guo Jia, he was so excited that he couldn't speak, and after bowing helplessly, he was hugged by Guo Jia, and after separation, Zhen Yu looked at Guo Jia carefully.
He was a head taller than the young man back then, with broad shoulders and long body, still graceful, a little frivolous in his handsomeness, and his radiant eyes were as bright as the stars as always.
"Fengxiao, you're finally here. I hope you want to see what you want to wear. Do you want to marry my eldest sister this time? I know Fengxiao's current situation, I don't have to worry, all the consequences, my Zhen family will bear it. ”
Seeing Zhen Yu's sincerity at the moment, Guo Jia was very moved in his heart, the person in front of him was mediocre, but he put his heart in his heart without reservation, and anyone with a little wisdom would not take the initiative to have a relationship with Guo Jia at this time, lest it be the wise man to avoid it.
Stretching out his hand to bring Zhen Yu into the seat, Guo Jia took the time to make tea and pour water in person, and his tepid appearance made Zhen Yu anxious, urging: "Fengxiao, you are making a statement, now Han Fu sent a match and Pan Feng came to the door to ask for marriage, just to marry my eldest sister." Hurry up and speak, is this time really to marry my eldest sister? ”
Guo Jia gently pushed a cup of tea in front of Zhen Yu, stretched out his hand to invite him to drink tea, Zhen Yu's expression was stunned, he looked down at the tea, took it and poured it down, and then continued to stare at Guo Jia eagerly.
"Don't hide it from my brother, Jia is not here to marry Jiang Er, in the current situation, my marriage to Jiang Er will only drag down the Zhen family, so I am afraid that the marriage will have to be postponed."
Guo Jia's words made Zhen Yu like a bolt from the blue, he thought that Guo Jia was an excuse to break off with the Zhen family, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Fengxiao, my eldest sister is in her teens, and she won't marry again, alas...... Could it be that Feng Xiao was worried about Han Fu's soldiers and horses stationed outside the city? Or do you think that my Zhen family has secretly fornicated with Han Fu? Where did my Zhen family neglect Fengxiao, you might as well say bluntly, if there is really something wrong, will I Zhen Yu make amends for Fengxiao here? My eldest sister is single-minded about Fengxiao, and every time she says ......"
Guo Jia stretched out his hand to hold Zhen Yan's hand, and said with a sincere expression: "I know, I know, I Guo Jia can have a close friend like my brother and a rare wife like Jiang Er, which is my Guo Jia's blessing, but please let go of the personal friendship between you and me for the time being, listen to me after I finish talking about the purpose of coming to Wuji this time, and then make plans, okay?" ”
Looking at the earnest face in front of him, Zhen Yu sighed slightly, nodded and changed to a calm expression, waiting for the following.
After a short silence, Guo Jia looked at Zhen Yu with a resolute gaze and said, "I, Guo Jia, have only one purpose for visiting the Zhen family this time, please help me." ”
When Zhen Yu was about to say that he would not refuse, Guo Jia raised his hand to block his mouth and motioned for him to listen to his words.
"Don't hide it from my brother, I Guo Jia is indeed very self-assured, at least half of the heroes in the world I don't care about it, I used to want to devote myself to the Ming Lord to make contributions, but now, I have been forced to a dead end, and there are only two ways out in front of me: seclusion or self-reliance. Seclusion is not a long-term solution, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no day when disaster will fall from the sky, so I Guo Jia can only stand on my own, take advantage of the chaos in the world, and seek a foothold for myself, and have a basis for advancing and retreating. Brother, I, Guo Jia, came this time, to put it in beautiful words, to ask the Zhen family to help me calm down the troubled times and restore peace to the world. To put it bluntly, I, Guo Jia, hope that the Zhen family will rebel with me, and when I become famous, the Zhen family will be the best in the world, and when the success is completed, the Zhen family will be wiped out. ”
These words are very pertinent, with Guo Jia's eloquence, he can naturally say that he is righteous and righteous, inciting the Zhen family to help him rebel, and he can also move him with affection, so that Zhen Yu is carried away by emotion, but Guo Jia did not do it, after all, he and Zhen Yu are like gentlemen and sincere, and it is related to the life and death of the Zhen family, Guo Jia does not want Zhen Yu to treat it rashly.
Zhen Yu was already full of horror at this time, he never thought that Guo Jia would want to rise up and try to dominate the world.
In his mind, with Guo Jia's talent, it is not a problem to set the country and the country, but it is not trivial to compete in the world, and he can overthrow the Han family by himself? No matter how deep the wisdom is as deep as the sea, no matter how invincible it is, it is impossible to destroy the four seas.
"Fengxiao, is it possible that with the help of the Zhen family, you can rise in troubled times? Don't act impulsively, although my Zhen family is rich, it is not enough to influence the general trend of the world. ”
Hearing Zhen Yu's admonition, Guo Jia knew that the other party really listened to his words, not only did he not lose his square inch, but also wanted to persuade him to rein in the precipice, which was a good sign, at least Zhen Yu weighed Guo Jia's strength after receiving the assistance of the Zhen family.
Guo Jia's left hand turned into a flat palm in front of Zhen Yu, and said seriously: "Brother, now by my side, there are me Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, and many young talents who I have carefully taught over the years. Aside from me, Guo Jia, the resourcefulness and talent of Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu are rare in the world, and the two of them can easily win a decisive victory in government affairs, and they are all better than the talents of governing government affairs. ”
When Zhen Yu was still thinking and shocked, Guo Jia put the palm of his right hand in front of Zhen Yu, and continued to say solemnly: "Marching and fighting, attacking cities and plundering land, I have Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, these six people are peerless generals, my brother should have heard a widely circulated sentence today called Lu Bu in the people, but if you want to talk about the duel between the two armies, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun can easily defeat Lu Bu, if you talk about fighting generals in front of the battle, I do not have a fierce general to defeat Lu Bu, but Xu Chu Dian Wei and the two of them work together to fight with Lu Bu, You can definitely cut off Lu Bu's head! ”
With both palms clenched into fists at the same time, Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "And now, the leaders of the remnants of Taiping Dao, Baibo, Montenegro, Pinghan, and Baihuan have all surrendered to me and served me as the master, and now I have more than 300,000 soldiers under my command." Both civil and military are prepared, I Guo Jia want to rise in troubled times, and compete with the world's heroes, only the last step is to spend a huge amount of money and food for me to raise troops and prepare for war, when the equipment is well-equipped, the soldiers and horses are neat, I can seize a foothold in the world with lightning speed, lay a foundation, and try to dominate the world! ”
After saying that, Guo Jia struck his fists and made a muffled sound.
Although the sound was not loud, it shocked Zhen Yu and was in a trance.
He couldn't have imagined that Guo Jia now had such a strong capital.
Reminiscent of the beginning of his acquaintance with Guo Jia, Guo Jia once said that the troubled times are coming, and the heroes are rising, and now although the Han family is still there, the states have not listened to the order, and Jizhou Mu Han Fu has coveted his Zhen family for a long time.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, Zhen Yu made a decision, this decision was not made lightly, he did think it through.
The Zhen family can't keep the family business by relying on a Zhongshan Taishou alone, and instead of being taken away by Haoqiang in the future, why not fight now, so what's the harm in giving it to Guo Jia?
"Fengxiao, my Zhen family, I am willing to help you."
Facing Zhen Yu's firm gaze, Guo Jia let out a sigh of relief, and then shook his head and said: "Although my uncle has settled in the earth, and the Zhen family is also in charge of you, the eldest son, but such a major matter related to the rise and fall of the family, you must return home to discuss with your brother, if you can't help me together, I, Guo Jia, dare not rashly accept the Zhen family's funding." ”
Maybe others will think that Guo Jia is a humble statement, or they may think that Guo Jia is climbing up the pole, and he is willing to accept it unless he is forced to join the Zhen family, but Guo Jia really has to be thoughtful.
There are aspiring heroes in the world, who doesn't want to get the Zhen family's huge wealth and family business for their own use?
replaced Cao Ying and Yuan Shao, as long as Zhen Yu opened his mouth to work, he would immediately smile and take the Zhen family into his pocket.
But Guo Jia couldn't, because he had concerns, Zhen Yu agreed, but did Zhen Yan, who was still the Taishou of Zhongshan State in the Han Dynasty, agree? Will Zhen Yao, who is also a servant of Zhongshan Kingdom, agree? Will they follow Zhen Yu to give away their family business to outsiders?
Once there is a disagreement, even if there is no dispute in front of him, if someone in the Zhen family betrays Guo Jia in the future, will Guo Jia raise the butcher knife or turn a blind eye?
It is precisely because Guo Jia has a close relationship with the Zhen family that he must make sure that the Zhen family is working together, otherwise there will be trouble in the future.
Zhen Yu also thinks that what Guo Jia said makes sense, the eldest brother is like a father, and now it is he Zhen Yu who is in charge of the house on the surface, but he is only taking care of the Zhen family's business, and every major event is made after the three brothers negotiate, not to mention that there is a mother who has to come forward to meddle in some things from time to time, as a son of man, of course, he must fulfill filial piety, so some innocuous things, Zhen's mother intervened, and Zhen Yu's three brothers turned a blind eye, but the major matters related to the rise and fall of the family were not interfered with by Zhen's mother.
"What Feng Xiao said is very true, I will go home to discuss with the two younger brothers, I think that with the second brother and the third brother more far-sighted than me, I will definitely not let Feng Xiao down."
Zhen Yu was about to get up and say goodbye, Guo Jia sent him to the door, but Zhen Yu suddenly turned his head and said: "Fengxiao, why don't you go back to Zhen's house with me, my eldest sister misses you all night, you should always see it." ”
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then sighed lightly: "It's me who has failed Jiang Er, or okay, I'll go back to the house with you and visit Jiang Er." ”
Zhen Yu was overjoyed, as soon as he came out of the room, he saw a male Wuhan Zi standing on the left and right, burly as a mountain, and the man on the left had a bald head and light eyebrows, with a vicious face, which made people feel afraid.
Guo Jia stretched out his hand and introduced: "Brother, these two are what I mentioned to you just now, Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, Dian Wei Dian evil. I came to Jizhou this time because they protected me all the way. ”
Zhen Yu's spirit was shocked, and he bowed his hand to the two with respect: "Thank you two strong men for protecting Fengxiao." ”
After Dian Wei and Xu Chu hugged their fists together and returned the salute, they followed Guo Jia and Zhen Yu out of the inn, and made a detour from the back door of the Zhen family's mansion, preparing to enter the Zhen Mansion in front of people's eyes.
