Chapter Forty-Eight: Do It Yourself
Guo Jia, who was drinking happily in Zhen's mansion, was late at night when he left, and although he was not drunk, he was also seven points drunk.
Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi drank in moderation, and returned to the General's Mansion with Guo Jia, who was already asleep.
After letting the accompanying guards go down to rest, Guo Jia walked back to the bedroom with vain steps, closed the door and walked to the bed to prepare to undress, but his drunken eyes suddenly widened, and he was a little energetic.
On the bed lies a curvaceous woman, her pink skirt is slightly loose, the skin from the snow-white neck down is hidden by the slightly open neckline, and the bulging twin peaks support the clothes to outline a wonderful outline.
After taking off his shoes and socks, he tiptoed to the bed, facing the woman who was sleeping like a begonia in spring, Guo Jia reached out and wrapped it around the woman's round buttocks and rubbed it gently.
Whew
The woman's breathing suddenly became short, and she made a shy voice, her thin red lips opened slightly, and her teeth were glowing with a trace of saliva in the candlelight.
The sleeping woman suddenly frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out, and a faint and charming smile appeared on her soft face.
Like a lotus jade arm on Guo Jia's shoulder, after Guo Jia withdrew her body when she couldn't breathe, the woman finally opened her eyes that were surging in the autumn waves.
"I thought my husband would spend the night at Zhen's house tonight."
Guo Jia pressed against Cai Yan's smooth forehead, looked at each other, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I ...... today."
Before he finished speaking, Cai Yan saw his serious appearance and guessed what he was going to say, so he took the initiative to kiss Guo Jia, Lilac retracted after a few teasings, bit her lower lip and said softly: "Don't say anything, don't say anything about the concubine, you won't dare to make your own decisions in the future." ”
Guo Jia turned over and pressed Cai Yan under him, leaned over her and sniffed deeply, the unique fragrance was like a hundred flowers, which was intoxicating.
Untied the silk pink coat on Cai Yan's body, untied the dirty clothes again, and threw it casually, Guo Jia's expression suddenly became very strange.
The skin is like cream, smooth and clean, Cai Yan is naked, her eyes are like silk, her cheeks are flying, and her arms are covered on her chest, but it presents a looming scene.
Finding that Guo Jia had no next move, Cai Yan called in a faint shy tone: "Husband, you, what are you waiting for?" ”
Guo Jia bent his waist, propped his hands on Cai Yan's sides, leaned over and stared at Cai Yan up close, and asked, "Where is your belly pocket?" ”
"Belly pocket?" Cai Yan was dumbfounded.
Guo Jia scratched his head, and then asked, "Hold your belly and bind your chest." ”
Cai Yan suddenly realized, blushed and whispered: "After bathing, I didn't wear it." ”
It's not for your convenience......
Guo Jia showed a look of pity, stared at Cai Yan and said, "Don't you know that I like to see you wearing a belly pocket the most?" Especially that phoenix opera peony, tsk......"
At this time, Cai Yan, whose upper body was naked, was ashamed and angry, even more crying and laughing, struggling to get up and dress, Guo Jia stopped her and asked inexplicably, "Where are you going?" ”
Cai Yan rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Go back and tie your chest to show your husband." ”
Pushing her down on the bed, breaking her hands covering her chest and pressing them to both sides, Guo Jia looked at the trembling peaks and waves, and said with a smile: "It's all this time, do you still want to go?" If you really want to go back and come back, it's not that you're sick, it's that I'm not a man. ”
The room is full of spring, and the soft cry echoes in the bedroom under the ambiguous candlelight.
Two days later, Guo Jia handled political affairs in the house.
The leaders of the Shi clan and the Hao clan who responded to Xu He's rebellion were all beheaded, and the direct descendants were also imprisoned, and the Yizhou Shi clan and the Hao clan, who were secretly following the movements in Chengdu, had not yet reacted, and they were probably hesitating.
Guo Jia was treated lightly, and the rebellion failed and was not razed by the three clans, what else could he ask for?
Of course, there must be people who want to continue to rebel, but as long as it is not the collusion of the Shi clan and the Hao clan in the whole territory of Yizhou to rebel, Guo Jia is not afraid, his strategy is very simple, gradually suppress the Shi clan and the Hao clan, divide and dissolve, slowly plot, and after suppressing to a certain extent, then strike a thunderous blow.
is reviewing the documents on the confiscation of the property of the rebellious wealthy family, Guo Jia looked very carefully, the property of the wealthy family is a lot of wealth, but since some people in the rebellious clan have been pardoned, they must also leave a part of the property to them, and if they leave less, they will continue to rebel, leave more, and they can't give a blow to the wrong bones, and the punishment is too light, so Guo Jia personally took care of this measure.
A rush of footsteps came, Xu Shu stepped into the meeting hall, bowed his head to Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, and said, "Lord, Zhang Bai has arrived." ”
Throwing away the brush, Guo Jia held his chin and looked at Xu Shu, and asked softly: "Yuan Zhi, what did Zhang Baiqi do in Fuling County?" ”
Xu Shu replied: "According to the report of the spies, Zhang Baiqi also conscripted troops in Fuling County, but later they were all released back to the township, some time ago Zhang Baiqi had a close personal relationship with many wealthy families, received a lot of gifts, and once made a marriage contract with the daughter of the Qin family, and then the lord withdrew the army and returned to Chengdu, Zhang Baiqi immediately withdrew from the marriage, and cut off contact with the wealthy clan. ”
Guo Jia casually picked up a bamboo slip, knocked it in his hand and asked, "How is the people's livelihood in Fuling County under his rule?" ”
Xu Shu replied: "Zhang Baiqi in addition to the conscription, no longer disturb the people, the soldiers under his command strictly abide by military discipline, the people of Fuling County have no complaints about Zhang Baicai, Zhang Baiqi returned to the 3,000 conscripted soldiers and specially sent some money and food as compensation. ”
Guo Jia showed a smile of relief, at least Zhang Baiqi is still a smart person, as long as he changes his past mistakes and reins in the precipice, Guo Jia will still treat him well.
Radically rebelled against Xu He and Zhang Baiqi, the reactions of the two were completely different, and the end of the game was naturally very different.
Putting down the bamboo slips, Guo Jia, who was dressed in white brocade robes, got up and walked out.
Under the stairs outside the council hall, Zhang Baiqi was wearing only coarse cloth white trousers, kneeling with his head down, carrying thorns, the skin on his back was open, and some of the criss-crossing wounds formed blood scabs, while others were still oozing blood beads.
Approaching the cold winter of Layue, it must be extremely cold to be bare-chested, Zhang Baiqi not only took the guilt of pleading, but also punished himself with thirty military sticks, and the shocking wound on his back was enough to prove that the thirty military sticks were not fake.
Guo Jia, who stood up and walked out with his hands in his hands, saw Zhang Baiqi's appearance, his face was expressionless, but he was a little unbearable in his heart, and slowly walked in front of Zhang Baiqi, the cold wind was bleak, Zhang Baiqi gritted his teeth and endured the great pain and cold, and did not dare to look up at Guo Jia, but he knew that Guo Jia had come to him, bowed to the ground, and knocked his head on the ground and did not raise it.
"Zhang Baiqi deserves death, please punish the lord."
With a long sigh, Guo Jia asked softly, "What crime have you committed?" ”
Panicked, his voice trembled, Zhang Baiqi wept bitterly and said: "The lord has ordered five times to have nothing to do with the people, but the last general has recruited troops to disturb the people, which is contrary to the lord's order, which is really a sin. ”
In fact, Zhang Baiqi was very wronged, he saw that Sima Ju was conscripted, and he was not far behind, so he also ordered conscription, in fact, he was like a landlord in Fuling County, and handed over the army to his cronies, Guo Jia would not condone his subordinates to bully men and women, this Zhang Baiqi knew it, so he ordered his soldiers to self-restraint, and if they committed crimes, Zhang Baiqi also punished them a little, and he himself, nested in the Taishou Mansion every day to drink a little wine, listen to music and watch dances, and lived a very nourishing life.
After the news of Sima Ju's death came, Zhang Baiqi realized the seriousness of the matter, and began to face up to the military law regulations. Is that a general able to make his own decisions? I can't make a mistake again and again if I am dizzy for a while, whether Guo Jia is a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, Zhang Baiqi is not easy to say, but Guo Jia's impression of killing decisively and planning and then acting has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xu He wanted to rebel and sent someone to invite Zhang Baiqi to join the gang, but Zhang Baiqi beheaded the person without saying a word, and sent the head directly to Chengdu.
The Qin family also sent people to persuade the rebellion, and Zhang Baiqi did not hesitate to kill all the people sent by the Qin family to Fuling County.
After these were done, the news of Xu He's defeat in Chengdu also came, even though Zhang Baiqi had drawn a clear line with the Yizhou Shi clan, and also kept to himself to express his loyalty, but he was still afraid, he didn't expect Guo Jia to take him to the knife, Sima Ju died, Xu He will probably die, Zhang Yan among the Yellow Turban generals was valued by Guo Jia from the first day of serving Guo Jia, Zhang Yan also served Guo Jia wholeheartedly, Zhang Baiqi was afraid that his head would not be guaranteed, so he took the guilt of Jing Pleading, no matter how miserable the end was, his life should be saved.
In fact, Guo Jia was also uneasy these two days, he was worried that Zhang Baiqi really gave him a reason to kill the killer.
The remaining four generals of the Yellow Turban, Sima Ju's Imperial Majesty was not strict and vicious Guan Manying was killed by him, and Xu He's rebellion was also killed by him, if Zhang Baiqi ended up in the same fate, the soldiers from the Yellow Turban in the Taiping Army may be cold.
Regardless of whether he should be killed or not, after killing, no one applauds, those princes who regard him as a thief will definitely publicize his atrocities of killing heroes without permission, and those who listen to the wind and rain are afraid that his hostility and rejection will be heavier, and people with lofty ideals will stop in Yizhou, and Guo Jia will be alone if he wants to recruit talents.
The current situation is Guo Jia's joy, announcing Sima Ju's evil deeds in Badong County, Xu He's rash rebellion is no longer necessary, Zhang Baiqi is guilty of Jing pleading, Guo Jia is secretly happy in his heart, seeing Zhang Baiqi admit his mistake in person, and severely punish himself for beating the military stick, which shows his sincerity.
Stretched out his hands and bent down to help Zhang Baiqi up, and lifted the scattered hair on his forehead on both sides, Guo Jia said movingly: "General Zhang, there is a mistake that can be improved, your mistake did not cause bad consequences, and now you have punished yourself, I am very relieved, but I am also deeply saddened, what General Sima and General Xu did made me feel painful, the great cause has not been accomplished but there is a brother who has passed away, I am like a knife." General Zhang, go and heal your injuries, recuperate in Chengdu, and then return to Fuling County. ”
Zhang Baiqi unloaded the thorns, bowed to Guo Jia with tears in his eyes, bowed his head and took a few steps back, and then turned around and left the General's Mansion.
Xu Shu, who was standing at the threshold of the lobby behind Guo Jia, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Baiqi's bloody back, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Zhang Bai rides, so he can do it himself.
