Chapter 36 The Sinners of the Country
After Mi Zhu left, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai looked at Guo Jia, who was tied up with a rope, and asked with some uncertainty: "Will Mi Zhu invite Tao Qian here?" ”
Although Guo Jia was bound, he already held his head high, his chic demeanor did not diminish at all, and he smiled lightly: "Do you think Mi Zhu can't see your and my plans?" ”
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were shocked, Gan Ning stared at Guo Jia with wide eyes and asked, "Could it be that Mi Zhu guessed that we want to kidnap Tao Qian?" ”
Nodding slightly, Guo Jia said, "If he can't guess, it's not Mi Zizhong." However, he will obediently invite Tao Qian to you and me. ”
Zhou Taihu doubted, if Mi Zhu had insight into Guo Jia's plan, would he still be fooled?
"Little princess, can you solve my doubts?"
Guo Jia twisted his neck, he was really not used to being tied, and only said after a while: "Mi Zhu only has three choices now, one, urge Tao Qian to kill me, Tao Qian loves talent, and may not be willing to listen. Second, tell Tao Qian what you and I are planning, Tao Qian will still come to persuade him to surrender after being prepared, after all, he has thousands of troops and horses on his side, and self-protection is not a problem. Third, persuade Tao Qian to come forward and create an opportunity for us to kidnap Tao Qian, and even, he hopes that we will kill Tao Qian, and then the Xuzhou Shi clan will unite to go to the court, bribe a state pastor, or recommend a state pastor, Xuzhou Shi clan will regain power, even if we don't kill Tao Qian, Mi Zhu will not suffer too much involvement, after all, it is Tao Qian who is eager to subdue the fierce general, this step, kill the game. You say, which step will Mi Zhu choose? ”
As long as Tao Qian dies, Tao Qian's achievements in leading the Danyang soldiers to quell the chaos and suppress bandits in Xuzhou will also disappear, and the imperial court will be eager to sell Xuzhou Mu at a high price, and even the scholars who have just cheered up in the court will make every effort to promote the situation of the Xuzhou scholars returning to power.
Just when Guo Jia asked Gan Ning and Zhou Tai to tie themselves up, he and Mi Zhu already tacitly understood what would happen next.
A steady sound of footsteps came, and Guo Jia and the three of them looked out of the hall, only to see a middle-aged general in armor striding towards him.
As soon as the general saw Guo Jia, he immediately bowed his hand and said loudly: "The last general was ordered to come to investigate the situation in the mansion. ”
After that, the general walked in front of Guo Jia, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were ready to attack, if this person made any changes, they would be killed on the spot.
But he didn't expect the man to come to Guo Jia and kneel on one knee, bow his head and say: "Little Taigong, the last general's name is Zhang Min, he was a junior general under the Digong general, after the defeat of the Luoyang army, the Digong general was killed in battle, and the last general led the rest of the brothers to flee for their lives. General Digong has always talked about the little prince to the last general before his death, and has repeatedly told him that if he is cornered, he can go to the little prince. ”
Guo Jia and the three of them were stunned, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai couldn't imagine that Guo Jia had anything to do with Taiping Dao, and they could be greatly influenced by the local general Zhang Bao.
And Guo Jia fell into memories, a few years ago Yecheng met and knew each other, Zhang Jiao treated him sincerely, Zhang Bao respected him sincerely, but Zhang Liang was extremely complicated with him, sometimes sincere and sometimes defensive.
alas
Awakening from his memories, Guo Jia sighed, the Yellow Turban was defeated, but it also killed the last breath of the Han Dynasty.
"What position do you hold in Xuzhou now?" Guo Jia asked lightly.
After Zhang Min got up, he replied in a deep voice: "The last general is now a lieutenant, and he obeys orders under Cao Bao. Now that the little prince is in danger, if he can use the last general, but according to the order, he will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will never shirk. ”
Seeing Zhang Min's sworn expression, Guo Jia asked in surprise: "Why is this?" You and I are not related, why should we risk our lives? ”
His expression became a little heavy, and Zhang Min said in a sullen voice: "If it wasn't for General Digong who saved me in the wilderness, I'm afraid Zhang Min would have starved to death. ”
Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile, and said astringently: "But after all, it was a failure, a failure." ”
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai couldn't understand what Guo Jia was saying, their expressions were weird, and they really couldn't connect Guo Jia with Taiping Dao.
After all, when Guo Jia became famous all over the world, it was not by relying on the good name of helping the people, nor by the circulation of literary and romantic poems, but that the Changshe burned down the 10,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army with a fire, and the famous Bocai at that time was killed.
Why did the remnants of the Yellow Turban seem to be grateful to Guo Jia in the end?
The two couldn't figure it out, so Guo Jia didn't hide it and truthfully told him about his relationship with Taiping Dao.
"What?! Is it your plan to force the imperial city with 600,000 Yellow Turbans? ”
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning were dumbfounded in shock, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, Gan Ning even pointed at Guo Jia and asked sharply: "Guo Jia, make suggestions for the Yellow Turban Thieves, intending to subvert the Han Dynasty, do you know how many people in the world have been separated from their wives and families because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" ”
"Fengxiao, why do you want to help the Yellow Turban mess up the world?" Zhou Tai looked incredulous, and showed a distressed look.
The questioning of the two made Guo Jia suddenly erupt, and with a rare gaffe, he burst out of a spark and said loudly: "Do you think I, Guo Jia, am a sinner who has caused trouble in the country?" Is it? Is it? I, Guo Jia, also want the emperor to work hard to govern the government and love the people, and I also want the courtiers to be conscientious and self-denying, and I also want the local officials to clearly distinguish between public and private affairs and put the people first, but what? But what? ”
Guo Jia strode in front of Gan Ning, raised his head slightly, his eyes were like knives, and said excitedly: "But the Son of Heaven is ignorant, pro-Yu Yuanxian, look at what he has done?" The eunuch's relatives are in power, what do the eunuchs know? What do relatives know? The imperial city clearly marked the price to sell officials and sell knights, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven in addition to money or money, is this what should be done to govern the world? The ministers of the DPRK and China claim to be the mainstay and are depressed, but what else can they do except talk and immerse themselves in the wind and snow? The local officials are all filial piety recommended by the scholars, but has Xingba ever heard of raising filial piety, his father does not live, he shows talent, and he is illiterate? Do they care if the people live or die? ”
These words made Gan Ning dare not look at Guo Jia, don't open his face, and while he was speechless, he showed a look of struggle on his face.
Guo Jia walked in front of Zhou Tai and continued: "Taiping Dao rebellion? Why not the opposite? Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are heavy and heavy, and the people can't live anymore, so are they waiting for death? Isn't it enough to starve all over the wilderness on the side of the splendid rivers and mountains that we can't see? Is the Taiping Dao rebellion going to cause chaos in the world? Okay, well, if there is no rebellion, the world is peaceful, so when all the people starve to death, will this country still be meaningful? Taiping Dao rebellion, it is all the common people who are rebelling, they are not careerists, they are not greedy for glory and wealth, they are not vainly trying to subvert the mountains and rivers and steal the Dragon Court, they just want to live, live, I Guo Jia can save a thousand people in Yingchuan, but I want to save the suffering people in the world, what is the country? What is Home? Only a home where people live and work in peace and contentment can form a prosperous country! ”
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia turned around, turned his back to the two, and said lightly after calming down: "If the two of them think that I, Guo Jia, am a sinner who has brought disaster to the country, at this moment, God will give me a good opportunity to kill me, so as not to be poisoned by my Guo Jia again in the future." ”
Poof
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning knelt down towards Guo Jia, Zhou Tai with tears in his eyes, and said bitterly: "Feng Xiao is really a peerless countryman, to benefit the world as his own responsibility, I Zhou Tai has eyes and no beads, misunderstood Feng Xiao, please accept my worship, if Feng Xiao does not give up, I Zhou Tai is willing to work with Feng Xiao to help the poor and help the world." ”
"So and so!" Gan Ning also bowed to the ground, looking excited.
Guo Jia turned around and said with a bitter face; "Youping Xingba, you guys get up, I can't afford this worship, I Guo Jia only hope to find an aspiring master, end the troubled times together, so that the people can eat and eat, clothes can avoid the cold, and live in peace, so I will be satisfied."
Zhang Min, who was watching the enthusiasm on the sidelines, said sincerely to Guo Jia: "Now that the little prince is in a big trouble, the last general is willing to lead the old department to fight Cao Bao outside the mansion and find a glimmer of life for the little princess." ”
Guo Jia looked at him gratefully, shook his head slightly, and said: "You are new to Tao Qian, he will guard against you, I am afraid that you will have Tao Qian by your side, if you rebel, I am afraid that you will be suppressed by Cao Bao before you make any moves, this method is not appropriate, and there is a danger of death." ”
Zhang Min stubbornly arched his hand again and said: "Little Taigong, the last general is not afraid of death, as long as he can help the little Taigong get out of danger, the last will be a cheap life, not enough to worry about." ”
Guo Jia couldn't make any extra moves when he was bound, so he could only say sincerely: "In this way, you can send your cronies to set fire to Xuzhou City, as long as the fire is together, I will have a chance to get out." ”
Zhang Min nodded and took the order, and then said goodbye to Guo Jia: "The last general will go out to reply to Cao Bao, little princess, take care." ”
Thinking of something, Guo Jia stopped him again, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Min, he said that if there is a Cao Gong passing through Xuzhou City, you can ask for an escort and kill Cao Gong on the way, if you know where I am at that time, you can send a cronie to inform me, and I will give you an explanation." ”
Zhang Min didn't know what he meant, but he still nodded and went out.
Guo Jia looked at his back and thought for a moment: If I had been working under Cao Mengde at that time, Zhang Min would have come to vote, and he could only change his name and surname.
At the same time, Guo Jia also sneered at Mi Zhu and Tao Qian in his heart: Anyway, you can't hold Xuzhou, not to mention that I am trapped today, if I don't leave you trouble, I'm really sorry for your warm hospitality.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai got up and came to Guo Jia, their faces were ashamed, but Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Do you two still have a bad tooth for me?" ”
The two shook their heads, and when Guo Jia smiled, all the previous waves were forgotten, the atmosphere was majestic, and it was rare in the world.
