Chapter 42: Three Years of Seeing the Sea

At the gate of Chengdu's North City, Zhao Yun and Guo Ye looked at each other, and Zhao Yun didn't seem to be able to find any reason to refute him. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info// update fast //

Perhaps when he walked out of Changshan to find the Lord to vote, his thinking was very simple, to support the world and support the Han family.

This is not wrong, the Han family is the orthodoxy of the emperor, and in the eyes of the people of the world, this country belongs to the Liu family.

It's just that these more than 20 years of killing and wandering have made Zhao Yun see this devastated world clearly, and the two things needed to achieve the ideal are to assist the Han family to reunify the country, and then the world will rule and make the four seas peaceful.

If Liu Bei wants to be the emperor himself, then he is essentially no different from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Dong Zhuo, because the orthodox emperor of the Liu family is still there, and others want to be emperors, which is a big rebellion.

Now Zhao Yun is very confused and confused, whether he is assisting Liu Bei in trying to revive the Han Dynasty, or Liu Bei is realizing his ambitions under the banner of the Han Dynasty like Cao Cao.

One is for the public and the other is private, and if the confusion is not distinguished, it is contrary to Zhao Yun's ideals.

"General Zilong, since I was sensible, my father has mentioned your name in my ears from time to time, and I have been fascinated with you for twenty years, but fortunately this is just my father's wishful thinking."

Guo Ye suddenly said something inexplicable.

Zhao Yun was puzzled, it is very common for a monarch to dream of a military general, among the majestic people back then, Lu Bu, which monarch didn't want it?

"What do you mean by that?"

Guo Ye sighed, looked up at Zhao Yun with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, you will not be the second Xun Lingjun, which will make my father's heart ache." ”

Zhao Yun fell silent, and his mood became complicated and heavy.

When he was confused, there was indeed a lesson from the past, Xun Yu was Cao Cao's right-hand man, but his death was unclear, Cao Wei's civil and military affairs did not dare to declare it even if he understood it in his heart, but people outside Cao Wei had a direct view of this matter.

The luck in Guo Ye's mouth is obviously because although Guo Jia admires Zhao Yun, the two have never had a personal relationship, so even if Zhao Yun really finds out that he is wrong one day and sees Liu Bei's true face, at least Guo Jia will not experience another psychological trauma.

When a white horse passed by, the two of them walked towards the city in silence, and suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and the two turned around to look at each other, Guo Ye suddenly smiled, and became excited from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Gongying went and returned, hurriedly rode his horse in front of Guo Ye, turned over and dismounted, bowed his head and said: "If the prince does not give up, please let me do my part for the Taiping Army to help the world." ”

Guo Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Cheng Gongying's arms, with a sincere smile on his face, almost dancing.

"Sir, it's a godsend to have your help. Come with me to my Father, and when my Father hears this news, he will surely see it as a joy from heaven. ”

Guo Ye wanted to drag Cheng Gongying to see Guo Jia, but Cheng Gongying took half a step back and excused himself: "Childe, please let me follow Childe left and right, there is no need to alarm the envoy." ”

With a roll of his eyes, his expression of surprise eased a little, Guo Ye suddenly realized, and instantly understood what Cheng Gongying meant.

Back then, Guo Ye couldn't harvest Gongying, but now, he can, because he is already the son, which is much the same as Cao Pi's four friends.

"Okay, as long as Mr. is willing to stay, everything is as Mr. wishes."

Guo Ye raised a smile again and agreed.

Zhao Yun looked at Cheng Gongying with complicated eyes, the hero in his mouth before, now he doesn't know whether to turn back or give in to obscenity, just go back and return to surrender to the Guo family!

"I have seen the son, the lord has an order, and the son is ordered to return to the mansion immediately, and the time for the banquet in the mansion must not be missed."

A group of soldiers dressed as guards came to Guo Ye and said after saluting.

Guo Ye was curious, he hadn't heard that his father was going to have a banquet in the past two days, why did he suddenly have a big banquet today?

"Why is there a banquet in the house?"

Guo Ye asked, and the other party replied truthfully.

"Ma Bei drove all the way from Hanzhong, and the envoy set up a banquet for him to wash the wind and dust, and the adults in the city must be present regardless of their official positions."

Guo Ye shook his head clearly, but Zhao Yun on the side was shocked.

Under Guo Jia's rule, there was a transcendent Ma Beijia, which spread for thousands of miles many years and was known to almost everyone in the world.

This propaganda is Guo Jia's own doing, he wants to network the world's talents, especially the scientific and technological talents who were not valued in the feudal era, so he has to put up the signboard, Ma Jun is a talented person, and Guo Jia is regarded as a typical erection, which is well deserved.

It's just that Zhao Yun has a hard time understanding why a military general who is neither an internal civil official nor a military officer who fights and kills would be treated so highly by Guo Jia.

A person who should have a lowly status, but he enjoys transcendent treatment here in Guo Jia, just a trip to Chengdu alarmed the civil and military officials of the city, it is conceivable that this honor is simply broken.

Putting away the doubts in his heart, Zhao Yun saw that Guo Ye was going to the banquet, so he was going to say goodbye, but as soon as he said goodbye, the soldier of the Guards who passed the word said to Zhao Yun: "This is General Zhao, right?" The lord has an order, please also go back to the house for the banquet. ”

Zhao Yun listened to it and wanted to resign, but after thinking about it, maybe this banquet could also have a clearer understanding of Guo Jia Group, so he nodded and agreed.

Cheng Gongying had long been forgotten by Guo Jia, and he didn't care, so he led the horse back to his residence.

Walking on the way to Guo's mansion, Zhao Yun couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked Guo Ye about Ma Jun.

"Don't drive the horse? He's a great guy. ”

Guo Ye did not hide it, and happily revealed Ma Jun's contributions to Guo Jia's service.

From the improvement of agricultural iron, to the keel dumper that is conducive to cultivation in water conservancy construction, to the loom that improves production efficiency, to the improvement of the guide car and crossbow that are beneficial to the army, and so on.

Especially the guide car, after Gan Ning led the army to conquer the northwest and entered the area of the steppe Gobi Desert, there was no road that clearly indicated the direction, relying on the guide car.

Ma Jun's contribution is by no means a few words that can be explained, nor can a few words measure his value to Guo Jiaqiang.

Guo Mansion

In the main hall of the backyard, several graceful and dignified women sat together, greeting a young girl in the hall with a soft smile.

Zhen Jiang loved Ma Qing very much when he saw it.

The eldest daughter of the Ma family has clear eyebrows and beautiful facial features, although it is not amazing, but it also looks very pleasing to the eye, and it is a little less of everyone's beautiful temperament, it doesn't matter, the softness of the jasper of the small family is also commendable.

Guo Jin's marriage has actually been hanging in Zhen Jiang's heart for a long time, in another year, Guo Jin will be fifteen years old, and it is possible to get married at this age, but because Guo Ye, the eldest son of the Guo family, has not yet been married, Zhen Jiang is not good at putting this matter on the agenda, and although she regards the two sisters of the Cao family as her own, she does not want the daughter of the Cao family to be Guo Jin's wife after all.

Ma Qing's marriage contract was in front of him, which made Zhen Jiang finally relieved, and now that the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have met, Zhen Jiang is very satisfied with Ma Qing, a girl who is always knowledgeable and shy.

Since Guo Ye has been established by Guo Jia as the son, it is best for Zhen Jiang to hope that Guo Jin's wife is a simple woman, and she doesn't want Guo Jin to marry a woman like Cai Yan.

Big and small Qiao, Cai Yan Diao Chan, and Wu Amaranth Mizhen looked at Ma Qing, a bit of a check for Guo Jin, and all the women agreed with Ma Qing, only Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao were not present, and played with Guo Ying and Guo Yi in the courtyard to build a snowman.

The ladies in the backyard enjoyed themselves, while Guo Jia and Ma Jun strolled side by side in the courtyard leading to the front yard.

While walking, Guo Jia looked at the repeater in his hand and listened to Ma Jun's stammering introduction.

Probably the function is obvious at a glance, that is, it has the advantage of continuous firing than ordinary crossbows, which is more powerful and has better effects.

"Deheng, how much can this crossbow be made in a year?"

Guo Jia took the crossbow and aimed at the big tree in the courtyard, just to try the feeling, and did not install the arrows.

This issue is very critical, whether the repeater can be mass-produced is the key, if it cannot be used on a large scale in the army, it is the same as not.

Ma Jun frowned, but as long as the exquisitely made equipment is inevitably difficult to mass-produce in the early stage, because it is necessary to teach this skill and craftsmanship to peers, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted.

"In the first year, estimates, a thousand. In the future, there will be, there will be more. ”

Although Guo Jia has a large-scale craftsman workshop in Hanzhong, Ma Jun's answer is still a little less.

Handing the crossbow to Xiao Ren, who was accompanying him, Guo Jia pondered with his hand.

The production of 1,000 repeaters a year, if applied to the foot soldiers, it will inevitably be a bit more tyrannical, so he plans to install these crossbows on warships, so that the navy will have a significant increase in combat power in water warfare.

After talking, Guo Jia smiled at Ma Jun and asked, "Deheng has been staying in Hanzhong in recent years, do you have any plans to travel and play?" ”

Ma Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Guo Jia never restricted Ma Jun's freedom, in the past 20 years, Ma Jun has thousands of troops escorted every time he travels, as long as it is within Guo Jia's territory, handsome mountains and beautiful waters, he has taken his family to play, now let him go out to play, look at the map, he is deeply confused, I don't know where to go.

"Are you interested in going to the beach?"

Guo Jia asked with a smile.

Ma Jun was shocked, and said excitedly: "Dang, of course there is." No, though"

However, within Guo Jia's territory, there is no sea.

As a person born in the northwest, Ma Jun naturally has a yearning for the sea.

Guo Jia smiled, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, within three years, I will let you get your wish." Even if you go to sea by boat, you must have no scruples. ”

Ma Jun also laughed heartily, his thoughts were not complicated, and he didn't know the deep meaning behind Guo Jia's words.

The two of them walked towards the main hall of the front yard together, and the banquet that was being prepared in full swing was almost the time to start, and the civil and military officials in the city, regardless of their ranks, had already arrived.
