is sad and miserable, not to mention the antagonistic relationship between the two sides, so Guo Jia left, and Pang Shanmin did not send him off.

A light car slowly left Chaisang and headed for the ferry, but at this time, Pang Shanmin was in the government and frowned.

Not to mention the release of Guo Jia, it was the question of how to settle the Jiangdong generals in Chaisang City, which made him quite a headache, rubbed his forehead, looked around the hall, but found that the Jiangdong generals who were present only came three or four out of ten, Tai Shici, Zhu Heng, Xu Sheng, etc. all said that they were sick, and this silent confrontation seemed to tell Pang Shanmin that they had made up their minds and left.

If Tai Shici, Zhu Heng and others return to the countryside, it only takes a few years to change from a Jiangdong general who knows how to cultivate and hoe......

But all generals must go through blood and battlefield experience.

After all the generals in the hall left, Pang Tong saw that Pang Shanmin was still thinking hard about how to persuade him to surrender, and persuaded him: "Brother, if Ziyi and others are unwilling to surrender, they will let go of the township and give them their own, and I will not lack ...... in Jingxiang."

Pang Shanmin sighed when he heard this, and said to Pang Tong: "Jingxiang has today's grand occasion, I will wait for a little bit of business to come, if it is in the past, will Shiyuan persuade Pang to return to the old mountain forest?" The foundation of Jingxiang's establishment lies in gathering talents, Pang will naturally not forget the root of my Jingxiang's prosperity, Shiyuan's words, please don't say it again. ”

Pang Shanmin said, and Pang Tong suddenly woke up.

Pang Shanmin thought for a moment and said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan." and went to Ziyi's residence with Pang Mou. ”

Pang Tong nodded when he heard this, and immediately understood what Pang Shanmin was planning.

At present, Jiangdong is the gate, Tai Shici is its leader, regardless of martial arts and virtues, all the generals in Jiangdong are worshipped, if you can talk about this person, it is easier to persuade others.

The two left the mansion, and soon arrived at Tai Shici's temporary residence in Chaisang, and the people of Pang Shan saw the huge mansion. Not even a well-known old servant. Quite emotional.

The two walked into Tai Shi Ci's mansion, only to see that Tai Shi Ci was alone in the hall, packing up, Pang Shanmin saw this and said to Tai Shi Ci: "Ziyi's illness." It's homesickness. ”

Tai Shi Ci heard Pang Shanmin's voice. A flash of embarrassment flashed across his face. No matter how you say that now that Sun Quan has fallen, if Tai Shi Ci lives in Jiangdong in the future, he will have to look up to the Tang King. If he doesn't want to go to the court today, Tai Shi Ci can only use a clumsy excuse to avoid meeting Pang Shanmin, and now that the collection has been debunked by Pang Shanmin, Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly and said to Pang Shanmin: "How can the Tang King go to the Ci Han House......

Pang Shanmin smiled reluctantly when he heard this, and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi has already made up his mind?" ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "My mother is old, and she suffered from illness during the year, Ci doesn't want to regret it in the future, so she wants to return to her hometown and serve her mother." ”

Pang Shanmin understood Tai Shici's behavior, and thought for a moment and said: "In this case, Pang Mou gave Ziyi a long vacation, as for the matter of Zhishi, I hope Ziyi will not say anything more, now Gongjin and Zijing are all officials in my Jingxiang, Pang Mou has Jiangdong, and Ziyi should also meet with him." ”

Thinking of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Tai Shi Ci hesitated for a moment and said: "Even if they are friends, after all, when they meet, this matter still does not bother King Tang, as for resigning and returning to seclusion, Ci has already planned before, even if King Tang is not allowed to Jiangdong this time, Ci will also mention the matter of retreat to King Wu." ”

Taishi's kindness was sincere, Pang Shanmin didn't know how to persuade him for a while, Pang Tong saw this, and couldn't help but interject: "If General Taishi returns to his hometown, how can he make a living?" ”

"In the prime of life, Ci Shang has the strength to support his mother without any problem." Tai Shi Ci said, put the backpack on his shoulder, and said to Pang Shanmin: "If the Tang King has time in the future, he can go to Ci's house as a guest......

After saying that, Tai Shici wanted to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Pang Shanmin was anxious, and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, please think twice." ”

"It's a matter of thinking twice." Tai Shi Ci summoned the war horse under the crotch of the divine horse in front of the mansion, turned over, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The Tang King decided on Jiangdong at the beginning, presumably the government affairs are complicated, and Ci is inconvenient to disturb more, so he will return." ”

Tai Shi Ci said, rode away from the mansion, went to the city gate, looked at the back of Tai Shi Ci leaving, Pang Shanmin sighed for a long time, and muttered: "I'm afraid that in the future, in addition to Pang Mou, there are also Gongjin, Zijing, Pang Mou does not believe that Ziyi can be hard-hearted." ”

It was difficult to prevent Tai Shici from leaving, and Pang Shanmin had to wait for Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and others to persuade the water army to surrender.

In addition to Tai Shici, Cheng Pu, the third old minister, was also admired by the Jiangdong generals, and Pang Shanmin had to retreat to the second, wanting to persuade Cheng Pu to surrender and then persuade others......

Another day later, the Jiangdong Navy anchored at the Chaisang Ferry, and Gan Ning, who was traveling with the boat, got off the boat with Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and others, and met Pang Shanmin.

General Cheng Lao is still like Tai Shici, refusing to surrender, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai are loyal to Sun Quan, but they are from the water Kou can not resist Gan Ning's bewitchment, but the three major water bandits of the Yangtze River gathered together under the command of Pang Shanmin.

The Jiangdong Navy followed the infantry army and attached to Jingxiang, which means that among the six counties, no one will obstruct Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others took over the city, and this time the Jiangdong was pacified and came to an end.

Pang Shanmin feasted the ministers in Chaisang for three days, Jingxiang was drunk with all the civil and military affairs, but Pang Shanmin went back and forth to the mansions of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others alone when they were free, and persuaded them to surrender.

Sincerely, Jin Shi is open, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai can't bear the sincerity of Pang Shanmin after all, and expressed their willingness to continue to be a general in the navy, and the two Jiangdong old ministers are all attached, which also reduces a lot of melancholy in Pang Shanmin's hearts because Guo Jia and Tai Shici refuse to surrender.

However, in January, Koto fell.

And Guo Jia's figure also appeared in the Hebei court again.

originally thought that Guo Jia was taken captive by Jing Xiang and would not be spared, but Cao Cao had not slept well for a long time. Upon learning the news that Guo Jia had been released by Pang Shanmin, Cao Cao was overjoyed and led the Chinese martial arts to welcome Guo Jia in front of Yecheng City.

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao again, but found that in just a few months, the prime minister's temples had been spotted. Compared to when he left, I don't know how old he was, seeing Cao Cao overjoyed, tears in his eyes, Guo Jia's eyes were red, he bowed down in front of Cao Cao, and his voice choked up: "Guo has the trust of the prime minister, and I hope that the prime minister will punish the ......crime."

Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao didn't seem to hear it, but he just muttered vigorously in his mouth: "Feng Xiao." It's back. It's good to be back......"

Cao Cao personally helped Guo Jia get up, and returned to the palace with the accompanying civil and military personnel, and Guo Jia had not seen each other for several months, so Cao Cao naturally had a full stomach of questions to ask. Now Jingxiang has pacified Jiangdong. There was a great earthquake in the world. And the three princes also turned into two, Cao Cao naturally wanted to know from Guo Jia's mouth that Jing Xiang is now. What is the situation?

When Cao Cao mentioned the matter of Jing Xiang, Guo Jia sighed.

Along the way, Guo Jia's mind kept flashing Pang Shanmin's Jingxiang scenery, today's Hebei and Jingxiang, the strength is very different, if Guo Jia was still pinning his hopes on relying on Erxun to operate, make Hebei rich, and catch up with Jingxiang, now Guo Jia is clearly aware that when it comes to the ability to run the state and county, even Erxun is not as good as that Pang Shanmin.

Seeing that Guo Jia was in deep thought, Cao Cao coughed lightly, Guo Jia came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "It is a matter of priority, Guo Mou will think about how to report to the prime minister ......."

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's solemn expression, and knew that what he was about to say was probably extremely important, nodded cautiously, and heard Guo Jia sigh: "I Hebei Guang made equipment, but I fell into the Tang King's plan!" ”

The first news was such bad news, which shocked all the ministers in the hall, Xun Yu frowned, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, the taxes paid for several months under the rule of the prime minister are all used to build equipment!" ”

Guo Jia also looked bitter when he heard this, and told everyone in the hall the original plan of Pang Shanmin, when Cao Cao, Er Xun and others heard that the equipment would become rotten wood after a few months of wind and rain, and they had no combat power, and their faces were like ashes.

Liu Ye trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Please also ask the prime minister to cure Liu for the crime of not investigating!" ”

"Don't blame Ziyang, just blame the Pang mountain people for being too cunning...... Cao Cao said with difficulty, Liu Ye sighed and said: "Liu will go back and think about it, what else can be done to remedy the equipment of the city!" ”

"Ziyang, don't worry, everything, after listening to Fengxiao, I'll make a plan later!" Cao Cao said, and said with a discouraged face: "It's a small plan, so I will pay taxes in Hebei for a few months, could it be that Cao is so easy to deceive in the eyes of the Pang mountain people?" ”

"It's not that the prime minister is easy to deceive, but Jing Xiang is a dignified conspiracy, and everyone has the heart to compare, not to mention that I am equal to the battle array, seeing that Jing Xiang's equipment is so sharp, it is reasonable to imitate it......" Guo Jia sighed secretly and said to Cao Cao: "What the mountain people are plotting is the hearts of the people, and it is not an ordinary strategy. ”

Cao Cao suddenly woke up when he heard this, nodded and said, "What else is there to do with Fengxiao, you want to tell me and so on?" ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia told Cao Cao all the Pang Shanmin and what he said about the two Sichuan, the layout of the Xiliang soldiers and horses, and now Jingxiang is prosperous and rich, and now Hebei can compete with Jingxiang The place is not much, not to mention the experience of Jiangdong, Tang Wang is now more powerful.

Guo Jia's words did not bring any gratifying news, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military panicked in their hearts, and even Cao Cao's eyes flashed a touch of despair, Guo Jia saw this but said loudly: "Guo Mou returned this time, but he didn't want to persuade the prime minister to follow Sun Quan!" ”

Guo Jia's words made everyone in the hall who was immersed in fear come back to their senses, and Cao Cao hurriedly said when he saw this: "Fengxiao has a countermeasure to fight against Jing Xiang? ”

"Guo naturally doesn't have such skills, but under the command of the prime minister, they are all outstanding people, if we work together, how can we have no chance of winning in the future?" Guo Jia said, looked at Xun Yu, Xun Yu and the two of them: "Wenhe, Gongda, in the past, when they were in Yingchuan, the two who thought they were running the state and county, no one in the world can compare, and the name of Xun's Shuanglong, the two have forgotten?" ”

Guo Jia said, and looked at the rest of the people in the hall: "The stone throwing is created by Ziyang, and the Jingxiang stone throwing is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, Jing Xiang can make a sharp weapon on the battlefield, why can't we?" ”

"Xu Zhongkang, have you already subdued that Ma Chao's martial arts? Could it be that the five tiger generals are really invincible, before the five tigers became famous, the elite soldiers and strong generals under the command of the prime minister were famous all over the world! ”

"There are many wealthy businessmen in the family under the rule of Jing Xiang, but a few years ago they were unknown, the world's wealthy businessmen, there are more Xu Du, and now you come to Yecheng with the prime minister, have you even forgotten the ability to do business?"

Guo Jia scolded, the ministers in the hall were speechless for a long time, and after a while, Xu Chu took the lead in coming back to his senses and said to Guo Jia: "Others are afraid of the five tigers, but Xu is not afraid!" If they meet on the battlefield in the future, Mr. Fengxiao can see if Xu can take the head of the horse super dog and use it as a ball to kick! ”

What Feng Xiao said was extremely true, although Xun admitted that the Tang King had some means. But I don't think that my brothers' ability to run states and counties is inferior to his! Xun Yu said, Liu Ye also said: "Recently, Liu Mou has watched the ancient books of the Mo family, and he has also gained, Jing Xiang throws stones, although it is beneficial to rush the car, Liu thinks about it for a while, and can also create something that breaks the enemy!" ”

Seeing that the ministers were excited, Cao Cao also swept away his previous decadence, looked at Guo Jia excitedly, and said to Guo Jia: "Cao thought that Fengxiao had returned this time. also let Cao learn from that Sun Quan. Surrender and save your life......"

Guo Jia shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said: "It's not that the prime minister hasn't done anything to defeat the strong with the weak, Guo thought about it for a long time on the way back. found that the prime minister and Guo have been all along. Errors are frequent. The reason for this is that our posture is not right, Jing Xiang was weak in the past, but it does not mean that it is weak today...... If the prime minister can put the mountain people in the same position as Yuan Shao in the past. Will I be more cautious when I fought against Jing Xiang before? It's not impossible that the tide of battle has changed! ”

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao and the Manchu civil and military relatives related.

It's just a pity that Guo Jia mentioned them too late......

Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words and nodded, Cao Cao had not been weak before, and now it is a big deal to treat Pang Shanmin as Yuan Shao in the past.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said to the ministers: "Fengxiao has made the pros and cons clear, everyone should perform their duties, think about how we can catch up!" ”

After that, Cao Cao ordered the ministers to disperse, leaving Guo Jia and Erxun and the three of them on the main hall, and said to Guo Jia: "You have to be encouraged by filial piety, although the morale of the court is available now, but Fengxiao can have a plan to strengthen me in Hebei?" ”

"Jiangdong has a vast land, and it may take a lot of time for Jingxiang to reorganize Jiangdong, and the prime minister can also take this opportunity to make a layout as soon as possible!" Guo Jia said, then took out the map from his sleeve, spread it out on the case, and said to the three people: "Qing, Xu should be deployed as soon as possible, this is the first thing, although Guo knows that it will be difficult to have a big war within the year, and Pang Shanmin's Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others are all people who take the initiative to provoke, if there is a war, it is very likely to affect the land south of the Yellow River under the rule of the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao nodded again and again when he heard this, and competed with Jingxiang in the future, Qing, Xu Erzhou is Cao Cao's barrier, if Qing, Xu You, the two princes fought on the Yellow River, and Hebei had no chance of winning.

"Now that Wuhuan has stabilized, he will return to Wenhe and defend this important place!" Cao Cao said, Guo Jia said again: "You can make Zhongda go together!" Although Chen Liu's defeat greatly frustrated Zhongda's spirit, Zhongda was originally a masterpiece, so he naturally would not be defeated by these setbacks! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was as good as a stream.

Now is the time to employ people, Cao Cao also knows that he can no longer select talents based on his likes and dislikes, although Sima Yi has been defeated in Chen Liu, but also shows a lot of his uniqueness, as Guo Jia said, this person can be useful.

Guo Jia said, glanced at Er Xun with a cautious face, and said to Er Xun: "Wen Ruo, Gongda, if it is not Guo Mou who strikes the two, if it is compared to the state and county, the two are not as good as the mountain people." ”

Xun Yu and Xun Yu were silent when they heard this.

After a while, Xun Yu sighed: "It's a pity that Xun doesn't have thaumaturgy in his hands, if he gets this technique, how can Xun be afraid of that Jingxiang erection?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Xun Yu: "If Wen Ruo knows the Silk Road when he was a strong man?" ”

Seeing Xun Yu nodded, Guo Jia said again: "Listening to what the mountain people said, this road has been opened up by the Xiliang military horses under his command, and Jingxiang's goods have been sold to foreign races, could it be that this road is very profitable?" ”

Er Xun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, Cao Cao saw that the expressions on the faces of the two were different, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Wen Ruo so out of shape?" ”

Xun Yu came back to his senses when he heard this, and said to Cao Cao: "If it is really as Fengxiao said, only by trading with foreign races, Jingxiang's wealth can be endless, and ordinary silk can be exchanged with foreign races at a price ...... gold than gold."

Cao Cao, Guo Jia and both gasped when they heard this, Jingxiang was originally a mulberry hemp production area, and since the loom, its silk and linen production is huge, and now it seems that this Silk Road is like a tiger for Jingxiang.

Xun Yu frowned for a long time, and sighed: "What Feng Xiao said is not bad, then Pang Shan has a way of people and money, and Xun is far inferior." ”

Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly spoke of consolation, and said to Xun Yu: "Before Jia, I didn't know that I could buy and sell with foreign races, and I could make huge profits. ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Guo Jia: "If the place of trade is so easy to find, then how can the King of Tang go to great lengths to open up the Silk Road?" The north is bitterly cold, and its wealth is far less than that under the rule of the prime minister, otherwise Wuhuan and Xianbei would not often harass the prime minister's rule......"

Guo Jia sighed when he heard this, and now he also understands why Pang Shanmin was so complacent when he talked about the development of the Silk Road.

It seems that Hebei's finances are not as good as Jingxiang, and it is a foregone conclusion.

Since it is difficult to reverse the disadvantage, Guo Jia no longer dwells on this matter, and said to Cao Cao: "Although there are many disadvantages now, and the prime minister still has the advantage of the time, the people of Hebei have been attached for several years, and the prime minister is widely endeavoured, if he fights with Jingxiang in the future, the people's will can be used......"

When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he also felt pale and powerless, but in the face of Guo Jia, who returned to Yecheng in the dust, how could Cao Cao bear to blame?

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao sighed: "Fengxiao all the way, rest early, the complicated government affairs of the court are not something that can be solved in one day......"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia was shocked and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, is it possible that even you are afraid of Jing Xiang's power now?" ”

"Hearing Fengxiao's words, how could Cao not know that Jingxiang is strong now, and I can't look at ......it in Hebei" Cao Cao said, and sighed and said: "If Jingxiang is strong in Hebei, such an opponent is what Cao wants, but Jingxiang is now strong in Hebei, how can you let Cao deceive himself and reverse such a strong enemy?" ”
