"The Guards in Chengdu have expanded to 30,000, and another 30,000 new troops have been recruited in Yizhou. In the future army planning, Yizhou will ensure 200,000 soldiers and horses. ”

100,000 sailors, 10,000 Yinling flying cavalry, 30,000 guards, plus Zhang Yan's 30,000 soldiers and horses and 30,000 new troops, Guo Jia's vision in Yizhou is 200,000 troops, the sailors are external, and the other troops can attack and defend.

Xu Du, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other generals, Guo Jia will use their battlefield in the north, after the gradual recovery of Guanzhong, except for the special surname of the trapped camp, the army will not be expanded, and the soldiers and horses under the command of other generals will gradually expand, and there will be 200,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, otherwise it is a joke to go out of the Guandong and enter the Central Plains. There are not enough soldiers and horses, and when I go, I will find trouble and run into a wall.

After the Battle of Guanzhong, Guo Jia's pace of army expansion, the focus is to start with Yizhou.

This is a gesture, and as always, it is a strategy that Guo Jia is tirelessly using.

Before striking at the enemy, it is necessary to remove the enemy's defenses.

His focus returned to Yizhou to show Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, intending to show a neutral attitude.

The two of you want to compete in the Central Plains, and I will watch from the wall.

After this series of actions, Guo Jia expected that in the eyes of outsiders, he would definitely think that he was plotting against Jingzhou.

This is exactly what Guo Jia wants.

"It's getting late, now that you know the detailed plan, let's draw up a charter for me to see as soon as possible."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he stretched his waist very unsightly, Junlang's face was a little lazy, at this time, he really couldn't see that he was twenty-seven years old, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the big boy next door.

The officials of the hall smiled heartily, saluted Guo Jia together, and then withdrew.

This is how Guo Jia makes decisions in the general direction, and the detailed and tedious work is handed over to his officials.

Recruitment, as simple as it sounds, is actually complicated.

It's not that shouting a slogan can make people flock to the army and sacrifice their lives to join the army.

The first thing to consider is the strength of Guo Jiazhi's subordinate areas, how much military expenditure can be afforded, how many troops can be supported, and what kind of conditions should be offered to the soldiers under the condition that there is no crisis in the financial and people's livelihood.

There are no benefits and no preferential treatment, the common people will not risk their lives to go to the battlefield, and there are very few enthusiastic young people in this era, even if they understand the major rights and wrongs, they will inevitably be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Recruiting soldiers is nothing more than using money and food, using officials, and using land to attract people to join the army, Sun Ce can rise in Jiangdong instantly, and the benefit is his recruitment policy, the soldiers and horses he brought to Jiangdong are Danyang soldiers, although elite but rare, and Sun Ce easily pulled up tens of thousands of troops with a slogan, that is, he or he has capable people around him who have well grasped the psychology of the people.

Give Sun Ce a soldier and be exempt from taxes! Even the taxes of the family members are also reduced!

Under the background of the current heavy taxation and miscellaneous taxes, Sun Ce's policy has been strongly supported and supported by the people of Jiangdong. How could they not support the rule of the Sun family?

Sun Ce's cleverness is that he is self-aware, Sun Jian had a grudge with the local wealthy families in Jiangdong before leaving Jiangdong, coupled with Sun Jian's behavior in Jingzhou, some scholars in Jiangdong are very resistant to the Sun family, Sun Ce crossed Jiangdong and returned, killed back to Jiangdong, wanted to gain a foothold, wanted to let the Sun family rule this land, and the estrangement with the noble clan could not be resolved overnight, so he skipped this class, directly won the support of the people, and after having a strong army, there was no need to look at the face of the wealthy clan.

As for the wealthy clans who have a great influence in the local area, they are nothing more than having some private soldiers and domestic slaves, and under Sun Ce's high-profile and popular policies, it is difficult for them to incite the people to oppose Sun Ce.

The time, the hearts of the people, the external environment, and the rise of Sun Ce and Guo Jia all have similarities.

Sometimes Guo Jia is also thinking, if Sun Ce did not die by accident in history, it is really difficult to say how much foundation this pioneering and fearless Jiangdong overlord will lay for the Sun family, especially Sun Ce dares to act boldly, and there are capable people around him, he can listen to advice and trust his subordinates, both Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, if Lu Su is also willing to assist Sun Ce, and Sun Ce, who was not attacked on the Yangtze River, may create another era of the Sun family that is different from Sun Quan.

Although Sun Quan, unlike Cao Pi, directly fell to the scholars, Sun Quan finally shifted the foundation of his rule from the common people and the poor to the scholars step by step.

To get back to the point, Yizhou recruitment is not a big problem in Guo Jia's view, and the key is the speed of recovery in Guanzhong.

The people support Guo Jia, this is the advantage of the people's will, and there is no moral constraint for Guo Jia to be a soldier.

After Guanzhong was captured by Guo Jia, a large area of land in Guanzhong was rewarded by Guo Jia to meritorious soldiers, which is far higher than the income of the people's hard work, just like office workers who see a financier get rich overnight, it is definitely impossible not to be blushing, but they often ignore that financiers also have countless bankrupt properties.

In the troubled times, lofty ideals are too far away for the people, and the most attractive thing for them is always the self-interest of one acre and three points of land.

Guo Jia can recruit as many troops as he can.

Recruiting troops should be done according to their means, and not being able to make ends meet will cause hidden dangers in the future, the most typical is Yuan Shu, who is extremely poor and extravagant, squeezed Nanyang dry, and now makes Shouchun decline at an unimaginable speed.

All the information in terms of finance, population, revenue and expenditure and so on was handed over to the officials for analysis, and Guo Jia just waited for the results, and it was not wrong to worry about the ministers.

Soon, a conscription order was issued in Yizhou, and because Guanzhong was still recovering, it was naturally impossible to recruit troops in Guanzhong to reduce labor.

The response of the people is very enthusiastic, Guo Jia in the eyes of the people is simply invincible, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao 250,000 troops, as a result, Guo Jia lost less than 50,000 soldiers and buried the other party, this result not only boosted the morale of the army, but also gave the people to gain fame and interests in the army to increase confidence.

Many of the families of the Taiping soldiers who participated in the Battle of Guanzhong are moving to Guanzhong because they have new land and a better future than before. Envy is envy, if you want to have such a harvest, the shortcut is naturally to be a soldier for Guo Jia.

Such a result is beneficial to Guo Jia, because there are many people who sign up to join the army, and he will have more choices in selecting soldiers and soldiers.

Just in early autumn, the breeze was bleak, and Guo Jia held a feast in the house to celebrate his daughter Guo Ying's birthday.

Full moon, he was in Guanzhong, he couldn't catch up, and now he has the opportunity to celebrate his daughter, Guo Jia will not be so hypocritical that he refuses to even put down a banquet.

Fuzhong has not been so lively for a long time, in fact, the officials also tacitly know that Guo Jia celebrated in Guanzhong in a low-key manner, and returned to Chengdu to celebrate in the name of his daughter.

Zhang Lantern is colorful, beaming with joy, Zhen Jiang is graceful, Cai Yan is quiet, Diao Chan is a little overwhelmed, with a can't help smile on her face, and she is very happy to hold her daughter.

She is a concubine, even after Guo Jin was born, Guo Jia has never celebrated Guo Jin with such fanfare.

The implicit intention of this will not be understood by Diao Chan, but it does not prevent her from being very moved by Guo Jia's actions.

Of course, if she had a son in her arms, she would have been terrified, but fortunately it was a daughter, a daughter who would not have any sense of crisis.

Guo Mansion is like a city, Guo Jia greeted the Wenchen generals who came one after another in the hall, like Fei Shi and Qin Mi, these people came to Guo Jia and had to put on a courtier posture, which made Guo Jia annoyed, pointing at them and scolding: "There are no lords and ministers today, only equal laughter, if you do this again, wouldn't it be a disappointment?" If my daughter starts crying later, you have to think about how to coax her. Hahaha. ”

Qin Mi was accustomed to Guo Jia's idle posture that often had no shelf, and Fei Shi whispered to Qin Mi after Guo Jia turned around and walked away: "Under the master's hands, it's really unexpected. ”

Qin Mi smiled and said nothing, as a courtier, he was most afraid of trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice, in Guo Jia's place, what others think, Qin Mi didn't know, and he didn't want to know, anyway, he was frank, had a clear conscience, distinguished between public and private, and sat upright, even if he assisted Guo Jia to fight the world, his heart was quiet and peaceful.

Guo Jin followed Guo Ye to greet the guests at the gate of the mansion, and the officials in Chengdu, regardless of whether the officials were big or small, Guo Jia's two sons were all there to greet them.

"Yo, isn't this Ye Gongzi, why are you standing at the door? Let's go and drink, today I really want to know if that stinky boy in my family was really drunk by you. ”

Xu Chu, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looked too awkward in a sleeved robe, he followed Xu Yi behind him, and when he heard his father say this, his face turned dark.

In Chang'an, these boys went out for a stroll, and once Xu Yi was drunkenly carried back, and the person who carried him was Guo Ye, Xu Chu asked, and found that a few boys went out hunting with adults on their backs, not to mention, but also fought wine, Xu Yi was drunk and unconscious, and Gan Guidian was very unrighteous and pushed the responsibility to Guo Ye, for this reason, Xu Chu grounded Xu Yi for half a month.

"Hey, okay, when the guests arrive, I'll go to you and ask for a drink."

Guo Ye said with a wry smile.

Xu Chu smiled and nodded, although Guo Ye was not yet ten years old, he was not stage frightened, and he never knotted his tongue when talking to adults.

"Okay, I'll go in first, if you dare not come, hehe. Huh? Isn't this Jin Gongzi? You're out too? ”

Guo Jin, who was hiding behind Guo Ye with half of his body, also saluted Xu Chu with a wry smile.

He was in awe of people like Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were tall and big, and who would feel pressure when they looked up at them.

"Dad, let's go, don't delay the two sons."

Xu Yi was afraid that Xu Chu would pull Guo Jin to drink again, not afraid of Guo Jia, not afraid of Zhen Jiang coming to ask for guilt, but afraid that Cai Yong would come to the door to recite the scriptures.

Xu Chu shrugged his shoulders and chuckled a few times before striding into Guo's mansion, Guo Jia's two sons looked at each other and smiled, both showing a relieved expression.

Seeing that the guests were almost the same, and it was not too early, Guo Ye planned to turn around and go back to the house, but he didn't expect that at the moment when the pedestrians were thinning, a carriage stopped under the stairs of the mansion gate.

A middle-aged man in a light blue brocade robe, with a gentle face and an elegant and elegant temperament, stepped on the stairs and came, followed by a man with a majestic figure and several brocade boxes in his hands.

"You should be Ye Gongzi, right? Are you the son of Jin? ”

The middle-aged man came to Guo Ye and Guo Jin with a soft smile on his face.

Guo Ye was very strange, why did the middle-aged man in front of him look at him and his younger brother so kindly?
