At this time, even if there is no saying that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, how can people with lofty ideals who have studied poetry and books not understand this simple truth, but the rise of the scholar clan has restrained too many talented people who want to help the world for a hundred generations.

When personal ideals conflict with family interests, they often yield to family interests.

Qin Mi deeply understood the meaning of Zhen Yao's words, and was able to evaluate him with the word Guoshi, which shows his sincerity.

But Qin Mi is not a person who is swayed by emotion, reason drives him to stand firm, at least he has to see what Guo Jia will do after he becomes the owner of Yizhou.

Because there are too many lessons from the past, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang to steal the Dragon Court, poisoning the world, and Liu Yan's trespassing into Yizhou abounded.

Guo Jia's rebellion was a temporary success, but did he really have ambitions for the world? Is it really to benefit the common people? We'll have to wait and see.

Taking the Prefecture as his place of residence, Guo Jia spent a month in Chengdu recuperating and recuperating in the first month, and there were few changes compared to before he arrived, except that the army that ruled Yizhou became the Taiping Army.

Strictly order his subordinates to restrain the soldiers, not to disturb the people, the supply of Guo Jia in the army is treated as a top priority, every need is a lot, only by stabilizing the morale of the army, can the situation be stabilized, and only by letting the soldiers get the most basic living security, they can continue to work for Guo Jia in peace.

Gan Ning went north to Hanzhong and unified the army of 30,000 and began to sweep the three counties of Wudu Yinping and Wenshan, these places actually did not have a large army stationed, and Guo Jia only needed all the Taishou of these three counties to serve himself, at least nominally must be surrendered, and those who openly resisted, Gan Ning's army directly stepped on it.

Zhang Baiqi, Sima Ju, and Xu He also led the army to the previously arranged three counties of Badong, Fuling, and Jiangyang.

In a month's time, in Chengdu, the soldiers were reorganized, Xu Chu Dianwei and Wei both made up 5,000 men, Guo Jia gave priority to the two of them to supplement the soldiers in order to let them select strong soldiers, Zhou Tai's soldiers were expanded to 15,000, and Zhang Yan incorporated the remaining troops into the army, and there were also 40,000 troops.

After a month of reorganization and training, Guo Jia once again sent his generals to the surrounding counties of Shu County to recruit surrenders, and they only had two tasks to go to these counties, the first was to make the counties too loyal to them, and the second was to disarm the armies of these counties, if any.

In the state governor's mansion hall and Xiu Qi Zhiping were dealing with the government affairs in the city, Guo Jia looked at the four of them with a headache, and it was difficult to choose.

"Do you really want to be king?"

Guo Xiu stretched out his hands and asked helplessly: "The lord is not the king, so how should the people of the world call the lord?" Once Dong Zhuo stabilized in Chang'an, he would definitely send someone to recruit him as soon as possible, and at that time, the lord was nominally returning to the Han Dynasty? Or will they not be converted? ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Ping said again: "If the lord is obedient, the world's opinion of the lord will not change in the slightest, the lord is always a rebellious thief, because the lord killed the Han clan and usurped Yizhou." And the lord nominally submitted to the court, Dong Zhuo said that he issued an edict to the lord in the name of the Son of Heaven, but did he accept the edict? Can't answer the evil edict? At that time, we were in a dilemma, so we might as well stand on our own feet now. ”

Guo Jia understands these truths, but if he is the king now, he is worried that the princes of the Eighteenth Route will directly attack him, because Dong Zhuo is still a Hanchen in the end, although he is a chaotic minister.

After thinking about it, Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It's not the right time to call the king, I will first lead the general of the Taiping Army, change the state pastoral mansion to Yizhou Mansion, and take charge of the military and political affairs of the whole territory of Yizhou, as for the rest, wait and see the changes in the situation in the world before making plans." ”

This is to put a low posture in front of the people of the world, Zhang Jiao rebelled and shouted that the sky was dead, and he only dared to call himself the general of the heavenly prince, although Guo Jia has a state of land, but if he is called the king, in terms of class, it is overpowering the princes of the world, this, I am afraid that it is not something that the princes of the world can tolerate, and claiming to be a general of the Taiping Army, is equivalent to being in charge of the Taiping Army, which means no different from his current Taiping army lord, but in the eyes of the world, Guo Jia is just an ordinary warlord, and the princes of the world can still look down on Guo Jia, and the repercussions will not be so fierce.

In fact, it is to remove the position of Yizhou Mu, which is equivalent to drawing a clear line with the Han family, and Yizhou Mansion has become Guo Jia's own power organ, a slight change in form, but there is a world of difference.

While continuing to deal with government affairs, Xu Shu hurriedly entered the hall and said to Guo Jia with an anxious face: "Lord, it's not good, Xu Chu led his troops to Guanghan County, and encountered the resistance of the Qin family of the Guanghan clan, the Qin family and other clans of Guanghan County gathered 10,000 people to confront Xu Chu's 5,000 men and horses, Zhen Yao, who went with Xu Chu, stopped Xu Chu and did not form a scuffle, Zhen Yao sent an urgent report, please make a decision, what should the current situation be?" ”

syllable

Guo Jia took the case, with a solemn expression with a little suppressed anger.

Without hesitation, he walked out, Guo Jia said in a deep voice as he walked: "Tell Xu Chu not to act rashly, and make a decision after I arrive." ”

……

Guanghan County

Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor, riding a gray and black war horse on his hips, his hand pressing on the weapon trembled slightly, and he looked at the people in front of him angrily.

Outside Ye County, the two principals of the Qin family led the Guanghan Hao clan to resist Xu Chu's coming, and the leaders were Qin Mi's eldest uncle and second uncle.

"Uncle, second uncle, listen to the words of the little nephew, tell the villagers to retreat, Guo Jia just wants Yizhou to surrender to him nominally at the moment, as long as the Qin family does not resist him, Guo Jia will not use the sword in vain, you are like this now, you are forcing Guo Jia to raise the butcher knife."

Qin Mi spoke earnestly in front of the eldest uncle Qin Ye and the second uncle Qin Cheng, but Qin Ye and Qin Cheng were unmoved, holding their heads high and looking at no one in their eyes, despising Xu Chu, and the representatives of the Guanghan clan who were standing beside the two of them naturally became arrogant when they saw that the Qin family came forward not to buy Guo Jia's account.

Xu Chu, who was unfavorable to his teacher, was furious, if it wasn't for Zhen Yao to stop him, he would have drawn his knife and killed him, how could he suffer from this nest of anger?

The two sides confronted each other, Qin Mi and Zhen Yao, who were sandwiched in the middle, were very helpless, Qin Mi persuaded the Qin family to retreat, Zhen Yao was able to persuade Xu Chu to suppress his anger temporarily, otherwise once the war started, the image that Guo Jia tried his best to create that the Taiping Army and Minqiu had no crime would be ruined.

As for the Guanghan clan led by the Qin family, the villagers behind them who swore to death with farm tools and did not let Xu Chu step into Ye County, how many of them were ordinary people, or private soldiers in these clans, no one could say, anyway, the people were easy to be instigated, and the clans themselves also had private soldiers, and it was easy for the Qin family to put up a battle of 10,000 people.

When Guo Jia arrived at the scene, the two parties were already scolding each other impatiently.

Xu Chu threatened to fight alone, Qin Ye and Qin Cheng ridiculed Xu Chu for only being quick to speak, and the two sides scolded inextricably, the soldiers behind Xu Chu pulled out their weapons to cheer for the general, and the villagers behind Qin Ye and Qin Cheng also held farm tools with a posture of not evading.

"Presumptuous! Xu Chu, is this how your soldiers are? Put away all my weapons for me! What a system! ”

Guo Jiaze slowly walked into the entrance, and the soldiers took the initiative to separate a road, and hung their heads with shame.

The Guanghan clan led by Qin Ye and Qin Cheng looked at the young man who came on horseback, his face was like a crown of jade, he was wearing a brocade robe, wearing a military crown, and he was heroic.

Xu Chu was angry and confused, and now that he was reprimanded by Guo Jiayi, he suddenly reacted a little, where are those people behind him like soldiers, they are just like bandits and bullies.

Dismounted and came to Guo Jia to kneel on one knee and clench his fists, hanging his head with a faceless appearance, Xu Chu said in a sullen voice: "Xu Chu visited the lord, I have embarrassed the lord, and I am at the disposal of the lord." ”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Guo Jia shouted: "You remember for me, you are generals, they are soldiers, and the weapons in your hands are not decorations to show off your might, but a sharp blade to kill the enemy!" It can only be pulled out in front of the enemy, and once it is pulled out, it is withdrawn without drinking blood, which is a sign of incompetence. ”

Xu Chu gritted his teeth and nodded: "The last general knows, lord, I received a military order to come to Guanghan County, and now they are in the way, are they considered enemies?" Can I pull out my blade? ”

Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked at the silent people in front of him, Qin Ye and Qin Chengdu were watching him to see what instructions he would give to Xu Chu.

With a cold snort, Guo Jia said, "Could it be that your soldiers can't even scare ordinary people except by relying on the swords in their hands?" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he understood a little, and after standing up, he shouted to the soldiers under his command: "Array!" ”

Wow

The 5,000 soldiers set up the phalanx neatly, pressed the hilt of their swords with their hands, and looked ahead angrily, ready to draw their swords at any time.

With this strict momentum, Qin Ye and Qin Cheng took a step back at the same time and took a breath of cold air.

An army is an army after all, and private soldiers are always a rabble.

Looking at the 5,000 soldiers in armor under Xu Chu's command, as if facing the might of the enemy, the Guanghan clan all beat drums in their hearts, for fear that Guo Jiazhen would order Xu Chu to fight with them.

What about the multitude of thousands? Fighting with the regular army is the same as sending them to death.

Riding on a horse and coming out in front of Qin Ye and Qin Cheng, Guo Jia looked down at the two for a moment, both of them were elegant and elegant, and they were also wearing brocade sleeve robes, looking like humble elders, but the arrogance in their eyes that ignored everything made Guo Jia very uncomfortable.

With a biased look, Guo Jia saw Qin Mi beside the two, and when he saw him sighing slightly with a helpless look, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked up a disdainful smile.

"Folks of Guanghan, why do you want to prevent my army from entering the territory of Guanghan?"

Guo Jia said this sentence in a very gentle tone.

However, Qin Ye looked away with his head held high, as if talking to himself, and replied: "The old man has never been used to looking up at others and talking, hum." ”

"You!"

Xu Chu saw that Qin Ye was disrespectful to Guo Jia, and he was about to step forward to vent his anger for the lord, but Guo Jia waved his hand and signaled Xu Chu not to act rashly.

Turning over and dismounting, Guo Jia patted his clothes in a dashing manner, stood in front of Qin Ye and asked softly, "Dare to ask why the Guanghan clan doesn't welcome me Guo Jia?" ”

Qin Ye snorted coldly, his expression turned away with contempt, and Qin Cheng beside him sneered and said: "Of course we welcome it, but well, the eleven counties and three provinces of Guanghan will not bother you, we will send the taxes to Chengdu every year, and we will make our own decisions about the rest." ”

Guo Jia raised a faint smile, looked at the blue sky, and said indifferently in his heart: The Qin family does have the ability, the Qin family is under the control of the three counties of Guanghan, and if the Qin family is not removed, am I not just a puppet?
