Sending a secret letter to the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is just a little blocking for Guo Jia, if Yuan Shao really dares to set up a new emperor, it is equivalent to cutting off his arm, even if the wealthy family who supports him now is still dead set on him, but if the orthodox emperor of the Chang'an court is out of trouble, the anti-Yuan Shao forces set off are probably immeasurable, as for Yuan Shu, Guo Jia is also trying his luck, if Yuan Shu can really fight with Liu Biao, he can also see if he can reap the benefits.

To Guo Jia's surprise, the two brothers also replied to him with a secret letter.

Yuan Shao asked Guo Jia to fight Dong Zhuo and rescue the Son of Heaven, and if he succeeded, he would promote Guo Jia as a former general in the future.

In the face of this reply, Guo Jia didn't guess what Yuan Shao's idea was, whether he really wanted Guo Jia to respond to him from the southern military operation, or in line with the original intention of letting Guo Jia and Dong Zhuo eat dog, in short, Guo Jia knew that Yuan Shao was not stupid, but he would definitely not be used by Yuan Shao, what he had to do now was to recuperate and work hard in Yizhou.

Although Yuan Shu's reply was not as big as Yuan Shao's tone, it also had a bit of a command of his subordinates, and Yuan Shu's also asked Guo Jia to send troops, but not to fight Dong Zhuo, but to beat Liu Biao.

The purpose of this letter is simply known to passers-by, let Guo Jia be cannon fodder to consume Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu to clean up the mess.

Compared with ignoring Yuan Shao's reply, Guo Jia replied to Yuan Shu, and the letter poured bitter water, following the defeat of Jingzhou last year, Yizhou rebelled repeatedly, and now it is not only tired of soldiers and horses, but also exhausted food.

After replying to Yuan Shu, Guo Jia didn't feel at ease, why did Guo Jia, who was in the remote corner of Yizhou, want to fight with the Kwantung princes? It is because he wants to gradually establish his position in Yizhou through this diplomatic means, and the overture to the Yuan family is more to let the people of the world recognize him, if even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can openly recognize Guo Jia's rule in Yizhou, at least half of the people in the world will no longer scold Guo Jia as a thief.

The same is true of Zhao'an, who previously rejected Dong Zhuo, although he nominally submitted to the Chang'an court, and there was an edict from the Son of Heaven to pardon Guo Jia and recognize Guo Jia, but the Kwantung princes would not admit it, they crusaded against Dong Zhuo, if Guo Jia surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he would be opposed to the Kwantung princes in disguise, this is Guo Jia's political position, anyway, Guo Jia did not publicly say that he wanted to overthrow the Han family, he only needs to change himself from a thief and a bandit to an equal status with the princes.

This spring, Guo Jia was busy and anxious, and the tuntian system was implemented before spring ploughing, and the worried people also returned to the fields and went to the fields to cultivate.

In the general's mansion, he discussed with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao about building a new village, and Guo Jia named the village Taoyuan Village, hoping that the orphans of the soldiers living in it could enjoy peace forever.

Male ploughing and female weaving is very common nowadays, and the name of Shu brocade is well-known, but the cost of Shu brocade is high, only dignitaries can afford to buy and wear, Guo Jia implements the policy of open source and throttling, advocating thrift from top to bottom, his own clothing material is only medium, the brocade robe embroidered by Shu brocade is luxurious and exquisite, but Guo Jia has no one.

Guo Jia doesn't wear it, it doesn't mean that others don't wear it, Yizhou officials are thrifty, it doesn't mean that other local officials will also be thrifty, so Guo Jia plans to let the women of Taoyuan Village embroider Shu brocade, and the finished products will be sold by Zhen Yu.

After all, this is a luxury, the output is not large, and the burden for the people of Taoyuan Village is not large, but the return is very high, enough to make them have enough food and clothing.

After kneeling for a morning, his legs were a little sore, Guo Jia stretched his waist, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip of it, and saw that the big and small Qiaos on the left and right were all looking at him with a smile and asked, "Aren't you tired?" ”

Xiao Qiao stood up and came behind Guo Jia, a pair of soft little hands pressed on Guo Jia's shoulders and kneaded gently.

Da Qiao poured another cup of tea for Guo Jia, and said warmly: "The general puts the people first, and when Taoyuan Village is completed, it is a merit, and the lonely and helpless children not only have a place to live in the Hundred Schools, but also can work hard to become talents, for themselves and the people, and for the benefit of the future, and the widow and widow can be taken care of by the general in Taoyuan Village, which can comfort the pain of losing her husband and child, and her future life will not be helpless." ”

Guo Jia didn't dare to answer this words, Da Qiao put gold on his face, he couldn't accept it calmly, in the final analysis, the war was caused by warlords, and the fallen soldiers were all for Guo Jia's hegemony, the rise and fall of the dynasty, there was almost no bloodshed, and it was Guo Jia's responsibility and obligation to appease the people and let them live and work in peace and contentment.

Patting Xiao Qiao's weak little hand on his shoulder, Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Xiao Qiao, don't pinch it, it's no different from tickling." ”

Xiao Qiao's mouth curled, his hands used a little strength, and he lowered his head and asked, "What now?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head, Xiao Qiao tried harder, and asked again, Guo Jia still shook his head.

Xiao Qiao gritted his teeth and exerted his strength, but Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly.

Although his hands were sore, Xiao Qiao pursed his lips and smiled, quite complacent.

Xiao Ren from outside the hall walked in and said, "Lord, there is a woman outside who asks to see her, claiming to be Wu Yi's sister, Wu Amaranth. ”

Empress Wu?

This Liu Bei's future wife has appeared?

Guo Jia said: "Let her in, oh, by the way, what is Wu Yi doing now?" ”

How did Xiao Ren know who Wu Yi was, and when he attacked Yizhou, Xiao Ren was escorting the Zhen family and Cai Yan.

Seeing him shaking his head, Guo Jia asked him to go down to check Wu Yi's current situation, in fact, Guo Jia didn't know what this general who was captured by him was doing, almost all the generals under Liu Yan's command were killed by Guo Jia when he entered Chengdu, and it was really hard to say whether Wu Yi was alive or dead.

After a while, the elegant girl in the white dress in Tsing Yi stepped into the hall with an indifferent face.

Guo Jia looked over, only to see that Wu Amaran was not very old, slightly young, but had a holy and beautiful face, three thousand green silk poured behind her like a waterfall, and her temperament was excellent, seeing Guo Jia calmly, there was no fear or resentment in her expression.

"You ......" Guo Jiagang's open mouth didn't finish speaking, and the whole person was stunned.

Wu Yuan untied the ribbon around her waist, took off her clothes and pleated skirt, and did it in one go, without the slightest slowness, and also took a small pair of scissors in her hand, picked up her clothes and skirt, and cut them in half with a knife, obviously, the clothes and skirts could not be worn.

The upper body was wrapped in a white belly pocket, and the lower body was only wearing obscene pants, Wu Yuan threw the scissors and the clothes and skirts that could no longer be worn to the ground, raised his face and said calmly to Guo Jia: "Please let the little woman's brother go." ”

Wu Amaranth, who is bare-shouldered and bare-armed, can't afford to have a trace of blasphemy at this moment, Guo Jia guesses that she is at most seventeen years old, even if the spring is beautiful in front of her, but Guo Jia does not have the slightest ** heart, although Wu Amaranth is beautiful, but compared with the glamorous Zhen Jiang and the gentle Cai Yan, she is almost a little charming, and after six or seven years, she may have the opportunity to compete for beauty.

Very smart person, Guo Jia has to look at Wu Yuan with admiration, it is definitely not a secret that she entered the General's Mansion, and her clothes can't be worn, Guo Jia has a thief heart for her, she is a free gift, but she will definitely be able to achieve the goal of saving her brother, Guo Jia has no thief heart for her, she put on new clothes and walked out of the General's Mansion, does anyone still believe that Guo Jia has not done anything to her?

"Don't look, don't look."

Guo Jia, who came back to his senses, was just about to speak, but Xiao Qiao's hands covered his eyes.

Guo Jia couldn't cry or laugh, treating me as a hairy boy who had never seen an animal with a female surname in his life?

What's there to see? I haven't heard of a woman who can see the ** by looking at her arm, but Wu Yuan's collarbone is very beautiful, and there are peonies embroidered on the white belly pocket......

Xiao Qiao covered Guo Jia's eyes, she had a lot of strength at this time, Guo Jia's eyes were pressed by her and hurt.

Da Qiao got up and walked down, picked up the cloak he wore when he came from the seat on the side, walked to Wu Amaran's side and put it on for her, and said softly: "If you have something to ask the general, as long as it is reasonable, the general will definitely not embarrass you, and now you are doing this, obviously blackmailing the general, but making it difficult for him." ”

Da Qiao's alluring beauty obviously made Wu Amaranth feel a little surprised, but more moved, tightened his cloak and wrapped his body, Wu Amaran lowered his head a little ashamedly.

She didn't want to do this, but her brother was in trouble, and the bargaining chips she could bargain with Guo Jia were only a daughter, and she had long heard that the wives and concubines around the general were as beautiful as fairies, and she was afraid that she would not be able to dedicate herself, so she had to use such vulgar means to blackmail Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, was covered by Xiao Qiao's eyes and couldn't see anything, but when he heard Da Qiao's words, he sighed that Da Qiao was understanding.

I, Guo Jia, can I embarrass you? If there is something to say, there is reason and evidence, will I still be a scoundrel?

After Wu Amaran's exposed spring light was blocked with a cloak, Xiao Qiao lifted her mouth and let go of her hand with a displeased expression, she stared at Wu Amaranth with implicit hostility, and walked to Guo Jia's side to look at Guo Jia, her expression became a little resentful.

Tears poured out of her eyes involuntarily with pain in her eyes, Guo Jia lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, her eyes were red and blinked, she finally felt more comfortable, looked at Xiao Qiao, and found that she was looking at Wu Amaranan Nunu, meaning to quickly send away the woman below.

Guo Jia smiled dumbly, looked at Wu Amaranth again, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Yuan frowned slightly, he had already reported his identity when he came, why did the general ask knowingly?

"Please release my brother Wu Yi."

Release?

Guo Jia was wondering, Xiao Ren walked in, hugged his fist at Guo Jia and said, "Lord, I have found out that Wu Yi has been imprisoned in the city prison since the lord entered Chengdu. ”

Coughed embarrassed twice, Guo Jia was really embarrassed, Wu Yi was captured since the fall of Sword Pavilion Road, Guo Jia had never seen him, at that time the invasion of Chengdu was the top priority, Guo Jia could not hesitate, he could not give Liu Yan a breathing space, so the work of recruiting and rebelling was put aside for the time being, after entering Chengdu, the political affairs were busy, he really forgot Wu Yi, even if the generals below knew, for a captured general, they were not at ease, as for the strategists, they were probably busy and forgot about it, After all, Guo Jia relied on less than ten people to deal with the affairs of Yizhou at that time, and in all aspects, government affairs were indeed heavy.

"Ahem, go and bring Wu Yi up."
