Chapter Twenty-Three: The Individuals of the World
readx;
Back in Jiangling City, it was already bright, but the cold wind in winter was swishing, which made Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, who were soaked all over, sneeze a lot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info Qi Qi
More than 100 captured soldiers were sent to the barracks, and Guo Jia ordered Haosheng to take care of these prisoners, and let Dianman personally supervise the matter.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su followed Guo Jia into the city government.
Guo Ye and Wei Yan were about to retire, but Guo Jia beckoned them to enter the mansion with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and everyone had breakfast together.
Since they entered Jiangling City, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su could not have a chance to escape, so they took off their soaked clothes, wiped their bodies and changed into new clothes, and then went to the main hall of Fuzhong under the leadership of the guards.
The scene in the lobby made Lu Su and Zhuge Liang not know what it was like.
Guo Jia sat on the main seat, there was a steaming breakfast on the low table under the hall, Zhou Tai Jiang Qin, Guo Ye and Wei Yan, eating and drinking as if they normally entered the house, Guo Jia was no exception, seeing him coming, he pointed to the vacant seat next to him, and said: "I specially asked to prepare ginger soup for you, warm up your body first, and then see if breakfast is appetizing, if you have any requirements, feel free to mention." ”
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su did not suffer humiliation, and now they are still treated politely by Guo Jia, so they had to salute Guo Jia, and then sat down, picked up the ginger soup and drank it, and their bodies warmed a lot.
Guo Jia held a bowl of porridge, looked at Erjin and said, "Kong Ming, Zijing." You are all great talents in the world, I appreciate it very much, to say something from the heart, if you can come to participate in the imperial examination in Yizhou a few years ago, now you must be a member of my Yizhou Mansion. ”
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Erjin looked pensive and worried.
The minds of both sides do not know each other.
Lu Su and Zhuge Liang are talented, but they are not necessarily known.
How do they know that they will definitely be appreciated by Guo Jia when they go to Yizhou?
Needless to say, Lu Su has been staying in the south, and he thinks that with his meager fame, he will definitely not reach Guo Jia's ears.
More than ten years after Zhuge Liang moved to Jingzhou with his family, Zhuge Liang was a little famous, but the Jingxiang clan's opinion of him was mixed, some people thought he was too arrogant, and some people really thought he was talented, but in his eyes, he had such a view, how could he guarantee that if he went to Yizhou, Guo Jia would definitely entrust him with a heavy responsibility?
Seeing that Erjin was silent, Guo Jia continued: "There is no outside entry here, I can be open and honest with you Erjin." I want to ask you, if today, I only have peerless generals around me, and there are no genius strategists, would you be willing to serve me? ”
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su raised their heads and looked at Guo Jia in disbelief.
By now, they had already heard what Guo Jia meant, even if they captured Erjin, they would not kill them, but wanted to recruit them.
Imagine, if Guo Jia only has a fierce general and no strategists, then now there are strategists to serve Guo Jia, which is naturally a charcoal in the snow, and he will have a transcendent status in the Guo Jia Group.
Erjin is still silent, Guo Jia sees this, in fact, he already knows the answer.
In the final analysis, the second entry is pretentious, unwilling to be a green leaf for the other entry, and wants to stand out.
Therefore, Sun Quan has Zhang Zhaofu, but there is still a lack of a think tank to give advice, Lu Su saw that the time came to assist, although Lu Su's official position is not very high now, but he has a very heavy weight in the Jiangdong Group, especially one of the few who can make decisions about Sun Quan.
Not to mention Zhuge Liang, what strategists can Liu Bei have around him? Mi Zhu, Jian Yong has followed Liu Bei for more than ten years, just look at the situation that Liu Bei can only be sent under the fence to know how capable the second entry is, even if Liu Bei fled to Jiangxia when there was one more Iraqi nationality, but it is obviously difficult to help Liu Bei turn the tide, Zhuge Liang Longzhong made Liu Bei see hope, saying that the king is the emperor and the hegemony can be expected, and he sighs like a fish in water, which shows how heavy Zhuge Liang's weight is.
Liu Bei has the ability to know, but he also returned Zhuge Liang, he thought that he got Zhuge Liang, just like Cao Cao got Xun Yu, Guo Jia had a drama talent, and Sun Quan's arm Zhang Zhao.
Like Zhuge Liang, who can not only lead troops to fight, but also govern the country and secure the country, is a rare all-rounder!
Guo Jia looked at Zhuge Liang and took in the changes in his expression.
When Guo Jia, the Wolong and Phoenix Chick, had already won one of them, and even Pang Tong came to vote, Guo Jia did not have a strong desire to get Zhuge Liang, comparing the comprehensive ability of a Zhuge Liang alone with the strategists under his command, it was obvious that Zhuge Liang could overwhelm the crowd, but he was always too small to enter, and it was difficult to go against the grain!
Guo Jia felt pity, and suddenly felt a slight pain in his heart.
"Kong Ming, Zijing, it has been more than 20 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the people's minds are settled, and the people's minds are at peace. Ordinary people did not have to live under the rule of the Han family, they only needed a peaceful and stable environment. Ask yourselves, and ye keep saying that I have a disobedient heart, and that I want to poison me. But this ambition, if Marquis Wu can clear the four seas and Liu Bei can dominate the mountains and rivers, will Marquis Wu and Liu Bei help their son Liu Xie to sit on the throne? Everyone has ambitions, but I'm stronger! Ambition aside, what do you say to me, what do I do not do as well as Liu Bei or Sun Quan? ”
Guo Jia's voice was cold, not angry and arrogant.
His questioning violently impacted the hearts of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang.
"I have more than 10 counties in Yizhou, and there are more than 10 counties in Guanzhong and Liangzhou combined, and I have three points of the country in my hands. You can go to my territory for yourself to have a look, and see how the people live, how the rule of law is, how the bureaucracy is, how the law is not noble, what punishment does not evade power, and there is a way to appoint meritocracy. If you want to resist me and destroy me, haven't you thought that Wu Hou and Liu Bei can do better than me? In the end, if I die and the Guo family is destroyed by you, whether Liu Bei or Sun Quan takes over my territory, I want to hear you tell me if Liu Bei and Sun Quan can make the people of Yizhou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou live a better life than now! Will the gentry who I have banned never be able to monopolize officialdom? Will the powerful people who have settled down after being suppressed by me not bully again? ”
Faced with Guo Jia's repeated questions, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su closed their eyes and did not dare to look at him.
In fact, the answer, they don't want to admit it, but reason makes them have to admit it.
Wu Hou Sun Quan, imperial uncle Liu Bei, may not be able to do better in Guo Jia's position.
Guo Jia entered Yizhou, with 200,000 Taiping troops, with the army as the foundation, and did things that were beneficial to the people, the contradiction between the elite class and the civilian class had long been intolerable, Guo Jia chose to stand on the side of the people, ban filial piety, and suppress the strong.
Zhuge Liang actually admires Guo Jia the most is that Guo Jia has the courage to use a imperial examination to select talents.
At first glance, how can ordinary people compare to the knowledge of wealthy families? Even ordinary people don't even have access to education.
However, the base of the common people is 10,000 times that of the wealthy and powerful.
Ten thousand ordinary people can get into the talent, which is more than the number of ten children of the scholar clan who can enter the talent!
Guo Jia's words, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were most touched, looked solemn, and looked at Guo Jia with respect and indomitable loyalty.
He was a water thief in the river before he entered the second time, and he was forced by the world, if it wasn't for the official forcing the people to rebel, how could they be willing to go to the days when the knife licked the bloody head and pinned it to the waistband of the trousers?
It is understandable to follow Guo Jia and achieve prosperity and wealth, but it is even more important to go to the soup and fire if you can not only make a career and become famous, but also change this era and really do things that are beneficial to the people.
With a turn of his eyes, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin watched Zhuge Liang and Lu Su become hostile.
Since Guo Jia said that he is a great talent in the world, and he will say so many things in his heart, this second entry is definitely not a wasted person.
So, do you want to be the enemy of Guo Jia?
Do you think the troubled times are not long enough? Do you think that dying unexpectedly and harming the people is not enough?
This is the case with military generals, who are loyal to one side of the princes and decide that their lords are doing justice and correctness, and the other princes are the main culprits who hinder the unification and peace of the country.
If Jiangdong Wenwu is here, I'm afraid that Qianfu will refer to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia said so much in the hope that Zhuge Liang and Lu Su could figure it out.
You want to be a high-ranking official and want to be the minister of the new dynasty, Guo Jia can give it to the maximum, but he already has Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, Xi Zhicai, Qin Mi and so on.
If he insisted on assisting a prince to continue to compete for the country just because he was unwilling to succumb to it, Guo Jia thought that there was nothing to save from such a talent.
The ideal should not be above the premature people.
In the end, Erjin was always indifferent and did not give Guo Jia any reply.
Guo Jia showed a look of regret and waved his hand: "You two go in and go, and the captured soldiers in the camp will also be returned." Gong Yi, send a few boats to send them back to Jiangxia from the river. ”
"Lord!"
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's faces changed greatly, and their eyes showed murderous intentions.
Since these two are stubborn, then kill one of them to prevent future troubles.
But Guo Jia got up and waved his hand, remembered something, and said to Zhuge Liang and Lu Su: "Kong Ming, Zijing, this is Wei Wenchang, the guard general of Changsha, and he led the crowd to serve me." You understand the current situation, right? ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he went back to the back hall.
Wei Yan looked surprised, Guo Jia made it clear that he couldn't go back to Changsha, otherwise he would definitely face Han Xuan's siege, and even lose the opportunity to gather troops and horses from Changsha to rebel.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su didn't expect that as soon as Guo Jia captured Jiangling, Changsha County would come in and surrender.
This change is too fast, too shocking!
Although Guo Jia left, Erjin still saluted respectfully, and then walked out.
Jiang Qin stood up helplessly, Guo Jia didn't give an order, he didn't dare to act without permission.
As soon as he walked out of the mansion, Zhuge Liang looked at Yi who was standing outside the mansion with an indifferent expression.
Pang Tong.
