has been a guest at Zhen's house for half a year, Guo Jia learned a news from Zhen Yu at this time, so he made a trip to Zhen's family, and agreed to marry Zhen Jiang in three years.

In the past six months, Guo Jia was honored by the Zhen family as a guest, and later he was as close as his own family, first, Guo Jia's talent is unparalleled, and Zhen Yi is deeply valued, and secondly, Guo Jia's gift of wine-making method made the Zhen family suddenly famous all over the world, if it is said that the Zhen family was a huge rich man in Hebei in the past, famous far and wide, but now it is known to the world, even the Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty also urged people to come to the Zhen family to ask for wine, and the Zhen family rose overnight. And all this comes from Guo Jia, Zhen Yi once said to the third son in person: "It is not an exaggeration to be filial piety, and it is not an exaggeration to be in the picture." ”

On the official road of Wuji County, Guo Jia and Xu Shu crossed the horse and went away, the four sisters of the Zhen family at the head of the city watched from afar, Zhen Jiang burst into tears, and all the reluctance was written on his face, even Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, and even the young and ignorant Zhen Rong also had red circles in their eyes, and after Guo Jia's figure disappeared into the distance, Zhen Rong cried loudly, hugging the legs of the eldest sister Zhen Jiang and tears rained down, no matter who persuaded him, he couldn't stop the tears.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu returned to Yecheng again, there is only one reason, that is, Zhen Yu got the news through the family eyeliner, Zhang Jiao has returned to Yecheng, Guo Jia knew that he resigned to the Zhen family, he wanted to meet Zhang Jiao and say goodbye in person, this farewell, maybe there will be no chance to see each other again.

Guo Jia, who returned to Yecheng, soon met Zhang Jiao, in fact, Zhang Jiao was more anxious to see him, and now that the Taiping Road has become a general trend, Zhang Jiao is more eager to feel that he lacks a strategist who can strategize, and the first thing he thinks of is Guo Jia, who in his opinion also has the ideal of overthrowing the Han Dynasty.

In the stronghold of Yecheng Taiping Road, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were invited to the mansion by Zhang Jiao, Guo Jia was stunned after entering the hall with Zhang Jiao, there were more than a dozen people standing in two rows in the hall, and the left and right sides were headed by Zhang Jiao's two younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and the people who led them were all burly men, and at a glance they knew that these people were definitely powerful and fierce people.

In the suspicious eyes of everyone, Guo Jia was led to the throne by Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao held Guo Jia's hand, and asked solemnly and earnestly: "Fengxiao, when today's son is ignorant, the dynasty is [***], so that the people are not happy, my Taiping Dao has won the hearts of the people of Bazhou, and millions of people have voted for my Taiping Dao in the hope of being able to live a rich life of food and clothing, I want to inherit the way of heaven and obey the will of the people to overthrow the tyranny of the Han Dynasty, and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world, do you want to help me succeed?" ”

Guo Jia's face was expressionless, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, Zhang Jiao invited him to do something with him so bluntly, if he refused in person, I am afraid he would be killed. But if you agree, I'm afraid it will be a dead end in the future.

When Guo Jia was hesitating in his heart, Zhang Liang's subordinates came out of the crowd and said loudly: "Great sage and good teacher, the king of the Han court does not care about the life and death of the people, and is the son of heaven in vain, what is the son of heaven, he is the lord of all peoples, and regardless of the life and death of all people, how can he be worthy of the lord of all people?" I am willing to elect the great sage and good teacher as the lord of the people, stand up in this time of crisis, lead my Taiping Dao to overthrow the Han Court, and let my Taiping Dao people enjoy peace forever! ”

"Zhang Liang"

"Zhang Bao"

"Mrs. Guo"

"Zhang Mancheng"

Bocai

"Liu Shi"

"Li Damu"

……

In the lobby, except for Xu Shu, Guo Jia and Zhang Jiao, everyone else knelt on one knee, swore allegiance, and asked Zhang Jiao to lead the millions of people in Taiping Road to revolt.

Guo Jia was very embarrassed, because Zhang Jiao was staring at him with blazing eyes at this moment, he knew that Zhang Jiao was sincere to him, and he was even more full of expectations at this moment, but Guo Jia couldn't agree.

Slowly closing his eyes, Guo Jia sighed: "Great sage and good teacher, have you really made up your mind?" ”

Zhang Jiao said affirmatively: "At this time, the people's aspirations, if I miss such an eternal opportunity, I will definitely regret it for life." ”

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhang Jiao and said solemnly: "Great sage and good teacher, I have a word, don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

"Bong-hyo, please speak." Zhang Jiao was very patient at the moment, because he knew that Guo Jia was not an ordinary person, and he could easily recruit those low-level leaders of the Taiping Dao who knelt in front of him, but for the strategists with unparalleled intelligence, it was difficult for him to accept his heart.

Guo Jia looked around the lobby, looked at the core figures of Taiping Dao who were boiling with enthusiasm, and said loudly: "Within ten years, if Taiping Dao does something, it will be a failure." ”

Everyone in the lobby changed color, glaring angrily at Guo Jia, if it weren't for Zhang Jiao here, I'm afraid he would have stepped forward to tear Guo Jia to pieces, but Zhang Liang arched his hand and said sharply to Zhang Jiao: "Great sage and good teacher, this person is not willing to help me Taipingdao, in order to prevent this person from leaking secrets, he must be dealt with as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Niujiao and Bo Cai had even drawn their knives, and they slashed at Guo Jia at the first order.

But Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said to the calm Guo Jia: "I have a heart-to-heart with Feng Xiao, but my ambitions are different, since Feng Xiao is unwilling to help, I let him go." However, Fengxiao, you and I haven't seen each other for half a year, can you stay for a few days and talk about the old relationship? ”

Guo Jia nodded and agreed, but Zhang Liang secretly glanced at his subordinates.

That night, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were in Zhang Jiao's room, Zhang Jiao coughed non-stop, holding a silk cloth to gag his mouth, but saw blood stains falling on the silk cloth, Guo Jia was shocked, and stepped forward to ask, but was stopped by Zhang Jiao waving his hand.

After his heart calmed down, Zhang Jiao put away the blood-stained silk cloth, sat opposite Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and asked earnestly: "Bai said that what Fengxiao said, I didn't ask in detail, at this time, I would like to hear the details." ”

Guo Jia and Xu Shu glanced at each other, sighed in their hearts, Guo Jia did not speak, Xu Shu was puzzled by Zhang Jiao: "It is true that there are millions of people in Taiping Road led by the great sage and good teacher, but these million civilians have no armor, two have no weapons, three have no carriages and horses, marching and fighting, food and grass are not enough, soldiers and horses are not fine, millions of people may be monstrous at the beginning of the uprising with a single blood, but if the imperial army comes to kill, if the Taiping Daoist army wins after the confrontation, it will be a miserable victory, if it is defeated, it will be defeated like a mountain, and the general trend will be reversed in the blink of an eye." ”

Zhang Jiao's eyebrows were twisted together, his face was full of sadness, and he suddenly stared at Guo Jia and asked: "As Feng Xiao said, if I do something after ten years of peace, can I fix the situation?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said: "With such an earth-shattering event as changing the dynasty, how can you be sure of victory?" If Taiping Road is dormant for another ten years, hiding soldiers in the people, hoarding grain and grass, recruiting talents, recruiting heroes from all over the world, and planning for ten years, then if things are done again, the odds of winning will be at least three points more than now. ”

"Three points? Ten years can only be exchanged for three points of victory? Zhang Jiao laughed miserably, his face gloomy.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Jiao looked directly at Guo Jia and said solemnly: "Fengxiao, don't hide it, I'm afraid that the limit is coming, if I don't do anything at this time, the Taiping Dao that I have worked hard to manage for more than ten years will be ruined, and my two younger brothers are not capable of leading the Taiping Dao at all, so I am in a hurry to start an incident." However, if Feng Xiao is willing to help me, I will listen to you and wait for ten years. If I have not entered the earth for ten years, then Fengxiao is the new master of my Taiping Dao, and my ambition in this life can only be completed by Fengxiao. ”

Guo Jia and Xu Shu were both shocked, looking at Zhang Jiao who was looking forward to him, Guo Jia's eyes were moist with emotion.

He didn't have a long relationship with Zhang Jiao, and he only came up with a few strategies for Zhang Jiao to calm the people, but he didn't expect Zhang Jiao to value him so much, when he wanted to accept him as his righteous son, Guo Jia didn't think much about it, but now after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Zhang Jiao wanted to entrust Taiping Dao to him.

Why not entrust it to two younger brothers? Because in ancient times, the son inherited his father's business, so when the Jiangdong foundation was passed on to Sun Quan from Sun Ce's hand, there was a voice of opposition within the Jiangdong Group, not because Sun Quan was young, fledgling, and had low prestige, but because Sun Ce had a son under his knees.

Guo Jia, whose eyes were slightly moist, bowed his head in shame and said: "The great sage and good teacher are very hardworking, and Jia is grateful, but it is difficult to obey his fate." It's not that Jia doesn't know what to do, but I'm afraid of disappointing the good intentions of the great sages and good teachers. I am not a person of the Taiping Dao, and the 36 righteous people under the command of the great sage and good teacher are not convinced by me, if the great sage and good teacher return to heaven, how can I control the Taiping Dao? I am afraid that at that time, Taiping Road will be self-defeating and become a plate of loose sand. ”

"This ...... Doesn't God want me to be peaceful? Zhang Jiao raised his head and said miserably.

Ahem, ahem

Zhang Jiao coughed violently again, Guo Jia took a glass of water and hurriedly handed it to Zhang Jiao, and after letting him drink it, after calming down the cough, Guo Jiacai said: "Although Jia is not talented, he is willing to plan a plan for the Taiping Road incident." ”

Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up, and he urged: "Feng Xiao, please say, what is the best plan?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Taiping Dao can not be exposed to the overall situation, you can first play the banner in Jizhou, and the rest of the states can be led first, when the imperial court is in chaos, troops will be sent from Luoyang, and on the way from Luoyang to Jizhou, Taiping Road can be laid ambushes along the way in Hanoi, Shangdang, and the border of Jizhou, and hit the Hanting army hard." Since then, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, and Taiping Road in the state have each assembled, raised the banner together, and sent all four roads to Luoyang! At this time, Luoyang is empty, there is no army stationed, if Luoyang can be captured, the Han court will be destroyed, and the grain reserves in the city are enough for hundreds of thousands of people in Taiping Road to supply at least three months, if it can really be so, the Han court will be defeated, and the Han ministers will raise troops to respect themselves, and the momentum of secession has taken shape. ”

Zhang Jiao and Xu Shu were dumbfounded, and after a long time, Zhang Jiao exclaimed: "Fengxiao is a great good!" If this is the case, my Taiping Dao will definitely be able to subvert the Han Court by heaven! ”

Guo Jia is not optimistic in his heart, there are many reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but the military reasons are very direct, the weakness of the soldiers is of course the fundamental reason, but more importantly, the Yellow Turban Army is fighting separately, the goal of the march is not clear, it seems that it is only to take down a city and a place, and after slaughtering the big families in the city, they are satisfied with the food for their lives, and they often sit back and wait for death after winning the first battle, without a unified command and goal, and the momentum is just a plate of scattered sand.

Today, Guo Jia set a strategic goal for Zhang Jiao, and it will be seen whether Taiping Road can succeed in the future.

The best opportunity for Taiping Dao is in the early days of the uprising, when the Han Dynasty has not paid attention to it, the army will come to Luoyang City, as long as Luoyang is broken, the era of competition will come in advance, success or failure, all in this battle!
