After the competition between Xu Chu and Yan Yan, Guo Jia asked Gao Shun about the results of the martial arts.

There is no first, there is no second, the martial arts are different from the imperial examinations, the imperial examinations need time to read the papers, and the judges need to think and exchange opinions a lot to reach a conclusion, while the martial arts are clear at a glance, and the victory and defeat are judged after the competition.

In addition to Yan Yan and Wu Yi, Gao Shun brought three more people, all of whom stood out after winning ten games in a row.

Seeing the three people, Guo Jia showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Gongyi, I'm not dazzled, it's you."

Jiang Qin stepped forward and said to Guo Jialang in the surprised eyes of everyone: "General, it is in Xia, in a few years, the general's achievements are extraordinary, which is really admired by Zaixia. ”

When traveling to Yangzhou, Guo Jia, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and the four tigers of the Xiao family seemed to reappear together on the river, Guo Jia had mixed feelings, walked to Jiang Qin, couldn't help but hold his little arm, and said: "Over the years, I have been ordering people to contact you, but there is no news, I hope you come like a long drought and hope for Ganlin." ”

Guo Jia was moved, in addition to having a relationship with Jiang Qin, more because he said that after he walked out of Yizhou, it was essential to need the navy to sweep the south, and under his command, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai could take on this important task, but Guo Jia felt that it was still few, Jinfan Qu Shuai Gan Ning needless to say, both land and water are long, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were born in the river water thieves, and they must also have a good at training the water army, therefore, Guo Jia has been waiting for Jiang Qin's arrival.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Guo Jia has been the master, but he is not domineering at all, just like the sincerity of the scene of heroes in the past, Jiang Qin smiled lightly, but there was an indissoluble emotion in his heart.

"Don't hide it from the general, I have long had the heart to serve, after the people sent by Brother Youping contacted me, I began to prepare, until the beginning of the year to place my brothers, some brothers who are willing to follow me to serve, also came to Yizhou, I was going to talk about the old relationship with Youping in Padang County, but just settled in Padang County, I heard that the general held a martial arts, Youping persuaded me to participate, so, I appeared here, I didn't have time to visit the general, and I hope to forgive me."

Guo Jia nodded frequently, there is a reason why Jiang Qin has not come for a long time, those brothers under him are all from water thieves, if Jiang Qin does not leave after the aftermath, I am afraid that those subordinates are good and evil, all in one thought.

Another point is that Guo Jia wants to praise Zhou Tai, according to Guo Jia and Jiang Qin have an old relationship, Jiang Qin comes to vote, Guo Jia must be reused, but it is difficult to convince the public, but Jiang Qin stands out from the martial arts, and it is logical for Guo Jia to reuse him.

"Hehe, Brother Gongyi came to help me, like a godsend, you and Youping are also brothers again, hand in hand, I still remember that you and I Jiang were full of pride when we drank in the middle of the night, and we were determined to swing the Quartet to settle the world, in the future, you and I will work together for this dream and ambition!"

Guo Jia is not acting on the spot, a man has a confidant and brother, which is a great joy in life, and for Guo Jia, he is not alone.

Jiang Qin was also so excited that he couldn't help himself, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said firmly: "Jiang Qin pays a visit to the lord." ”

After all, it was a formal occasion, Guo Jia helped him up and said with a smile: "Outside, you can call me my lord, but in private, you and I are brothers." Hehe, Gongyi has won ten games in a row, it seems that his kung fu has not regressed over the years. ”

Jiang Qin smiled but did not speak.

With a turn of his eyes, Guo Jia looked at the other two people behind Jiang Qin, one was Fa Zheng's friend Meng Da, and the other was a young man, at most about twenty years old, called Deng Zhi.

Walking in front of Meng Da first, looking up and down, Guo Jia looked back at Fa Zheng who was crowded in the crowd and asked, "Xiaozhi, this is your friend Mencius." ”

Fa Zheng came out and said, "Exactly." ”

Meng Da saluted Guo Jia and said in a deep voice: "Meng Da greets the general. ”

Guo Jia saw that he was calm and calm, and he didn't seem to be a reckless person, and said with a smile: "Filial piety and Zidu, one literature and one martial arts, went south to Shu, today for me, it is really a happy event, it seems that the Taiping Army has another good general." ”

Hearing Guo Jia say this, Meng Da was also slightly surprised, it seemed that Guo Jia really planned to use him, and it seemed that he still had high hopes.

Ten consecutive victories in martial arts can be personally received by Guo Jia, and then he may be entrusted with important tasks, which is unpredictable, Meng Da and Guo Jia have no relatives and no reason, and I am really worried that Guo Jia will not trust him.

But his concerns did not become a reality, Guo Jia recruited talents and gathered heroes, in order to discover talents, unless there were some generals with obvious princely imprints in his memory, he did not dare to use them, and others, he would open the door of the General's Mansion and welcome them.

If the generals of the Cao clan came to participate in the martial arts, let alone winning ten games in a row, even if they won a hundred games in a row, Guo Jia would not dare to use them, but Meng Da and Yan Yan were the generals he recruited sincerely.

When he came to Deng Zhi, he saw that he was young and tall, unlike the bear and tiger general Xu Chu Dianwei, Deng Zhi was similar to Gan Ning Zhang Yan's physique, and the newborn calf was not afraid of looking at Guo Jia like a tiger.

Pinched his arm, Deng Zhi, who didn't look like much meat, had strong muscles, Guo Jia asked, "Deng Zhi?" How old is it? ”

Deng Zhi said lightly: "At the end of the year, there will be a crown ceremony." ”

A nineteen-year-old person who has not performed the crown ceremony, not doing the crown ceremony is equivalent to not being an adult, but Guo Jia didn't care, and smiled at Xu Chu and Dian Weilang behind him: "Zhong Kang, evil come, when I met you back then, it was also his age, who was stronger between me and him at that time?" ”

Xu Chu laughed and said: "The lord was not as good as him back then, when I saw the lord for the first time, I didn't believe that the lord could dance with a knife and a gun." ”

Dian Wei pursed his lips and nodded approvingly, his first impression of Guo Jia was that he was a gentleman.

Many people who are not familiar with Guo Jia think that Guo Jia will be angry, or Xu Chu and Dian Wei will be unlucky, but Guo Jia turned around and patted Deng Zhi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Did you hear that?" Now you are better than when I was nineteen, and three years ago I could not have imagined that I would be an officer, so you have a better future than me. Have you ever heard of Zhang Yan? ”

Deng Zhi nodded dumbly, and Guo Jia held him so much that he couldn't turn his head around.

As early as the early days of Guo Jia's army going south, Zhang Yan had become famous, and Zhang Liao ambushed Zhang Lu's reinforcements in Dingjun Mountain, and then the army pressed the border to make Zhang Lu surrender the city.

"Then would you like to be a partial general under Zhang Yan?" Guo Jia continued to ask.

Deng Zhi nodded abruptly again, an excited look on his face.

Taking a step back, Guo Jia said playfully: "Since that's the case, then what should you call me?" ”

Deng Zhi, who woke up like a dream, knelt down for Guo Jia at a loss.

"Deng Zhi thanked the lord for his appreciation."

Guo Jia helped him up with his own hands and looked around at the people around him, some failed to participate in the martial arts, some won several games in a row, and most of the rest were soldiers under his command.

"It's not that I appreciate you, it's that you do have the ability! This is just a starting point, I still have a long way to go with you, but I believe that as long as we are handsome together, we are determined to make the world peaceful, there is nothing we can't do, there is nothing difficult in the world but afraid of people with hearts, my heart, in the world, in the people, ten years ago, twenty years ago, I was born in a cold family in Yingchuan, and there are countless people who have bullied me unscrupulously on my head, and what I see is that the people are displaced, living in the world, and even sometimes, I will see starvation all over the wilderness. I want to change the world, so that the people can be clothed and warm, fed and happy, but I can't do this alone, I need countless people to work with me for this goal, I believe that you, with your ability, will make this wish come true one day. ”

After Guo Jia, who held his head high and his voice was not heavy, finished speaking, the military camp and school field instantly boiled, and the surrounding soldiers looked at Guo Jia with fanatical eyes.

"General! General! ……”

Some people couldn't help but start chanting, and there were countless followers, and then the shouts in unison resounded through the sky.

In the Taiping Army, whether it is a soldier from the Yizhou Army or a soldier from the Yellow Turban Army, under Guo Jia's rule, they have strict military discipline and clear rewards and punishments, and those commanders who command the army are treated equally, and the middle and lower-level officers who have been promoted have merit and ability, regardless of their background, no matter in the past, as long as they have merit and ability, they will be duly rewarded.

They also have families and relatives, and they are no longer worried about the oppression of powerful bullies, and they no longer worry about not having enough food and clothing, all of which Guo Jia brought to them after he became the owner.

Even if he dies in battle for Guo Jia, there is a pension at home, and there is a good land given by Guo Jia, even if he is an orphan and a widow, he will enter Guo Jia's newly built Taoyuan Village, and he will no longer have any worries.

Guo Jia couldn't say these words when he entered Yizhou, because he would not be recognized, but now, after more than a year of governance, although Yizhou has not yet made great progress, the lives of the people under his rule have been significantly improved, whether it is officialdom or locality, the social atmosphere has changed in a good direction.

If the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world, relied on the support of the scholar class to be proud of the princes, Guo Jia relied on the support of the lowest people to gain a foothold in the world.

The passionate shouts became more and more enthusiastic, but Guo Jia walked out of the way, and the soldiers who got out of the way all looked at the young man with admiration.

It may be difficult for the newly promoted civil and military officials to understand why Guo Jia was able to get the support of the soldiers in a short period of time, but Yan Yan knew it, because Guo Jia made everyone see hope, what about the princes competing for hegemony? What difference does it make to the people who wins and who loses? Which of those ambitious princes will save them from fire and water like Guo Jia? The wealthy clan of the scholars used their power for personal gain, and exploited them with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and now, in order to keep this rare peace and happiness, why didn't the soldiers give Guo Jia their lives? The world is peaceful, not because the princes stop fighting, but because the people have enough food and clothing.

The Wenchen generals who followed behind Guo Jia all had solemn expressions, especially Dian Wei's expression was extremely serious, and he couldn't help but think of the Yizhou Shi clan who came to rebel against him when they rebelled one after another.

"As long as we kill Guo Jia, we will definitely nominate the general as the pastor of Yizhou."

"You just let me be the emperor, and I won't betray the lord! After the death of the lord, will you continue to oppress the people? Do you continue to let you ride upon the heads of the people and do might? I am a rough man, my lord is also a pariah in your eyes, I will kill you first, let you set off on the Huangquan Road first, I will follow the lord for the rest of my life, and together I will send you a group of beasts who are high up and kill the people, one by one to accompany you! ”
