Chapter 215: Striking Yuan (2)
Yuan Shaojun was in chaos, after the pursuit of Xu Rong's battle, Chen Zhi jumped to become a number of famous generals in the world, and his martial arts were rumored to be miraculous, which also created these Yuan soldiers to hear Chen Zhi's name almost no different from hearing Xu Ji's name, talking about the enemy in Yuan Shaojun, Chen Zhi, who was the most famous in martial arts, was one of them, and it was rumored that the person who pretended to be a robber in Jizhou last year to rob grain was Chen Zhi, and he could kill so many masters of his own side alone, so that Yuan Shaojun heard Chen Zhi's name as if he heard the ghost, there is a saying that "the plan is not to meet Guo Jia, and to kill the enemy and meet Chen Dao", comparing Chen Zhi's martial arts to Guo Jia's unparalleled wisdom, it can be seen that they are in awe of Chen Zhi.
But today, I met this evil star on the battlefield, how could the soldiers on Yuan Shao's side not panic?
And Chun Yuqiong was shocked, but immediately stabilized his mind, looking at Chen Zhi's martial arts just now, he felt that this person was just like this, he might not lose to him, and when he was about to answer, Chen Zhi had a horse's head and urged his crotch to grab the horse with a spear towards Chun Yuqiong.
Chun Yuqiong was taken aback, and hurriedly raised the knife in his hand accordingly, and the knife was raised above his head, but he saw that the silver light flashed in front of his eyes, his throat hurt, and the two jumped on the horse and passed by.
Suddenly, Chun Yuqiong, who was facing away from Chen, spurted countless blood from her throat, and fell under the horse with a scream. "Nanyang Chen arrives, and his name is well deserved", but he will never have a chance to say it.
"Good marksmanship!" This sentence came out of the mouths of Zhang He and Gao Ran at the head of the city at the same time, and these two great experts in using guns could immediately see that Chen Zhi's random shot just now had reached a realm that they had dreamed of but could not reach in a short period of time.
Chen Zhi stabbed Chun Yuqiong, the famous general of Yuan Shao's army, under the horse. The arrival caused an uproar among all the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun, and their tense nerves were completely crushed by Chen Zhi's lore. Deng Shi caused a great rout of Yuan Shao's army, and countless soldiers of Yuan Shao's army lost their command because they had no command. immediately scattered and fled, and Yuan Shao couldn't stop it.
Guo Jia stood at the head of the city and watched the rout of Yuan Shaojun. Ordered the city gate to be opened, and ordered Huang Jun to lead three thousand ghost elites to pursue Yuan Shao.
And the addition of the Phantom Elite completely shattered Yuan Shao's hopes. In particular, the physical strength of the Phantom Elite Soldier and the perverted attack method of the Great Abnormal Man completely made Yuan Shao completely powerless to fight back.
The defeat was like a mountain, and in the defeated army like a tide, Feng Ji said to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong, let's go!" Although Yuan Shao was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to accept the fact that he had failed and led everyone to retreat.
Guo Jia looked at Chen Dao, who came and went freely in the Ten Thousand Horse Army, and smiled at everyone: "I think everyone should go their own way, and Yuan Shao will hand it over to Uncle Zhi." Everyone laughed and went down to the city with Guo Jia. Zhang He stayed at the head of the city to command the defenders. And Xin Ping was busy appeasing the clans and people in Yecheng.
At this time, Guo Jia still didn't know what kind of trap was waiting for him, but said that Guo Jia had just gotten off the city tower and saw Zhen Yan already waiting for him under the city tower, and Zhen Yan immediately saluted respectfully after seeing Guo Jia and said: "Sir, Jiaci Advantage wants to invite Mr. to the house to discuss, I don't know if Mr. has time?" ”
Guo Jia's heart jumped when he heard this, and now Yuan Shao retreated slightly, and Mrs. Zhang said that she had something to discuss with herself, the article here is really not small, but it is impossible to stabilize Yecheng or even Jizhou, and Guo Jia has no room to refuse. So I had to nod my head and respond: "Wait a minute, I'll go after I arrange it." Zhen Yan naturally nodded in agreement, and Guo Jia's original plan was not to have too close contact with the Zhen family, even if Xu Ji trusted him, but once the family was involved, it was not necessarily so easy. But now it looks like he's going to have such a problem.
Now that he was ready, Guo Jia simply did not delay any longer, and hastily handed over the affairs in his hands to Chen Dao, and after he arrived, he got up with Zhen Yan and went to Zhen's mansion. It didn't take long for the two to arrive at Zhen's mansion, and Mrs. Zhang was still waiting for her at the place where Guo Jia "borrowed" some time ago. Guo Jia was already secretly vigilant in his heart, this Mrs. Zhang's scheming city was really not weaker than any opponent he had ever seen. Even to the extent of being old and spicy, I am afraid that even Xu Ji will fall in love with her, after all, she has a woman's natural weapon.
But at that moment, Guo Jia still smiled calmly and said, "Why did Mrs. Unknown come to me?" Now Yecheng is predetermined. There are a lot of things to be taken care of! Guo Jia deliberately said such a sentence, first emphasizing that he still had many affairs in his hands that could not be handled, which meant to tell Mrs. Zhang that he did not have time.
And Mrs. Zhang replied with a shallow smile on her face: "Why does Mr. Guo refuse people thousands of miles away? Even if you are worried about your lord's father-in-law, Lord Ma, I don't have to turn around so quickly, right? Although the tone of these words was flat, but its sharpness was abnormal, Guo Jia was even more shocked in an instant, of course he expected that Mrs. Zhang would see through it after all, but he didn't expect this woman to speak bluntly without concealing it at all.
In the face of Mrs. Zhang's words, of course, Guo Jia couldn't let it go, and even when he sat down with Mrs. Zhang, he said, "Why did Mrs. Zhang say this?" Guo Jianeng has such a performance in Yecheng and the credit of Zhen's family, is my lord ungrateful and a futile person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge? Mrs. Zhang scoffed at Guo Jia's words, she stretched out her jade hand and picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip lightly, and then said, "In this case, why didn't Mr. Guo return my family's private soldiers to me?" ”
As soon as Guo Jia heard this, he understood, the woman in front of him was still self-protective after all, no matter how he assured her, she still trusted the things in her hands more, but where did Guo Jia dare to return the 50,000 private soldiers at this time? Not to mention how he controls this Yecheng, that is, Yuan Shao will fight back at that time, and if he loses the support of these 50,000 private soldiers, he may not be able to defend this Yecheng, so Guo Jia's efforts will be in vain. So Guo Jia could only comfort with kind words: "Madam, I don't need to say much about the situation in Yecheng now, Guo Jia is just temporarily borrowing Zhen's private soldiers, and there is no intention of overhead, if Madame is suspicious, then Guo Jia will live in Zhen's Mansion until my lord-in-law arrives in Yecheng to discuss again, how about it?" ”
Of course, this decision was definitely not Guo Jia's intention, but now Zhen's support is too important for Guo Jia to control Yecheng, so he would rather sacrifice himself a little than ruin the situation he has worked so hard to manage. And Mrs. Zhang over there also lowered her head when she heard Guo Jia's words, and after thinking about it, she relented: "It's okay." For the sake of Mr. Guo's face in solving many troubles for my Zhen family, I believe this time. Since Mr. Guo is willing to live permanently, the slave family is naturally welcome. Come on, serve the food. As soon as the words fell, I saw a group of maids bring up the wine and food, obviously Mrs. Zhang had already prepared. At this time, Guo Jia really had a bitterness and couldn't say it, this was a dignified and upright conspiracy, so Guo Jia couldn't be fooled, of course, Guo Jia could also turn his face and deny people and only say that he didn't promise anyone and couldn't refute it, but Guo Jia always boasted that he was a "gentleman", so he naturally didn't want to do so, so he had to swallow this bitter water.
And after the wine and food were served, Mrs. Zhang toasted frequently. Although Guo Jia was too drunk to refuse, he soon became a little drunk, and the increasingly blurred picture in front of him made it difficult for him to maintain it anymore, and he fell asleep as soon as he turned his head.
In a trance, he saw a beautiful woman in white come to his side and take off his shoes for him. Guo Jia hugged the woman, pressed her down on the bed, and kissed the woman in her arms frantically. The woman also reacted enthusiastically, and the clothes of the two people gradually decreased one by one.
And the night passed. When Guo Jia woke up, he was shocked that it was Mrs. Zhang lying on her side! Guo Jia, who had a headache after a hangover, instantly sobered up.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who was only dressed in single clothes next to her, also seemed to be awakened by Guo Jia's movements, and looked at Guo Jia blankly
Guo Jia regretted in his heart, but he knew that the Tao was a foregone conclusion. I had to bow my head and say in annoyance: "Madam, I'm sorry, Guo Jia is drunk and disorderly." I'm sorry. ”
An inexplicable look flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, and Guo Jia, who was turbulent in her heart at this time, naturally did not see it. I only heard Mrs. Zhang say to Guo Jia: "Sir, don't mind. It's normal to have a drunken gaffe, and I don't think my husband should drink too much in the future. Since Mr. is hangover. Why don't you rest a little longer? ”
Guo Jia had nothing to say at this time, so she had to nod stupidly, and Mrs. Zhang stood up, picked up the clothes she had taken off and thrown beside the bed, and walked out of the door. At this time, Mrs. Zhang's beautiful eyes flashed with a look of calculation.
After the battle of Yecheng, Yuan Shao was defeated.
Jizhou Assassin Han Fu even escaped without a trace.
At this point, the entire Jizhou centered on Yecheng was completely controlled by Guo Jia. Guo Jia, who knew that he was in great trouble, did not lose his keen grasp of politics at all, the Zhen family has almost obeyed him since that night, and the Xin family has fallen into the hands of Guo Jia, so Guo Jia said what is what, as for the Xun family, although they don't understand when the Xin family and Guo Jia got so close, they have always advanced and retreated with the Xin family, so they just follow the example of the Xin family. What's more, there are already several people in his family who work for Xu Ji, and now they can be regarded as smooth sailing.
And Guo Jia has only one purpose, that is, before Xu Ji arrives in Jizhou, he will minimize the expansion of the family, after all, Xu Ji will still have to reform after he arrives in Jizhou.
The only thing he can promise now is that the Zhen family will not be annexed by Xu Ji, and the Xin family will not be affected by Xin, so he has won the support of the two major families at once. In this way, no one in the family of Jizhou dares to act recklessly.
Guo Jia let out a long breath and knew that his mission in Jizhou had been completed. Just wait for Xu Ji to arrive. And the trouble he caused will be left to Xu Ji to deal with at that time.
It's finally time to take a break.
And Yanzhou at this time.
Xu Ji finally decided to personally lead the Gao Shun army, and when he drove to Yanzhou, the Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai had been completely surrounded by the "army" pretended to be Bo Cai, although Xu Ji did not ask the result, but he knew that Liu Dai was exhausted by Bo Cai's elusive guerrilla tactics, and his strength was greatly damaged.
However, Xu Ji is now concerned about Yuan Shao's movements.
Soon, the good news came, in the battle of Yecheng, Guo Jia and Chen Zhi broke Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was defeated, and fled to Yanzhou.
Immediately, Xu Ji fought a battle without suspense with Yuan Shao, who had fled in a hurry, in Dongping Kingdom in Yanzhou.
Looking at the information sent by Yecheng, Xu Ji smiled and said to everyone in the big tent: "In the end, I was filial piety, and Yuan Shao was defeated in a few rounds." ”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, of course, they knew that this was the inevitable result, in their hearts, although Guo Jia has always been low-key and inconspicuous, he is definitely a unique strategist. Xun You's eyes on the side shot a blazing light, obviously fascinated by Guo Jia's legendary exploits.
But Liang Xi frowned and was silent alone.
Xu Ji saw it in his eyes. said strangely: "Ziyu, why are you depressed?" ”
Liang Xi raised his head. looked at Xu Ji and said, "Lord, after this battle." It is better to recruit Mr. Guo Jia to return to Chenliu first, and then the lord will re-enter Jizhou. ”
Xu Ji listened to it a little inexplicably, and he didn't understand why Liang Xi suddenly came up with this sentence.
Liang Xi looked at Xu Ji and said solemnly: "This time I was able to take Jizhou, Mr. Guo Jia has made great contributions, I don't know what kind of reward Mr. Guo Jia will take for the lord of the Dao?" ”
Xu Ji was even more inexplicable when he heard this.
Liang Xi said again: "Now Jizhou is not so much under the control of the lord, but also under the control of Mr. Guo Jia, the Zhen family and the Xin family obey their words, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other tiger generals are Mr. Guo Jia's surrender, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are only afraid that they will bow to the lord because they are also heartbroken to Mr. Guo Jia." Even General Chen Zhi. He has spent more time with Mr. Guo Jia than the lord, right? Now that the main soldiers have entered Jizhou bloodlessly, how should they treat Mr. Guo Jia? Or, what does Mr. Guo Jia think about his lord now? ”
Liang Xi's words stunned the people in the big tent, because Liang Xi's words were very explicit, obviously suspecting Guo Jiagong's master.
Indeed, in a sense, the most powerful person in Jizhou now is Guo Jia, not Xu Ji.
Since ancient times, the bird has hidden all the bows because of the high merits of the courtiers, and now Guo Jia is exactly in line with this article, in other words. Guo Jia has now committed the taboo of being a courtier.
But the problem is that Guo Jia is not a suspicious person at all, he and Xu Ji have always been frank and honest with each other, called Junchen, and they are really good friends. This is very clear to the people in the big tent, of course, including Liang Xi and Bo Cai.
Therefore, Liang Xi's words were extremely unacceptable to everyone.
Gao Shun couldn't stand it on the side. Although he and Guo Jia are not so familiar with each other, they have worked together for a long time, and even said to Liang Xi unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Mr. Guo Jia be a pampered and ambitious person? How could the lord suspect Mr. Guo Jia. Liang Xi, you still don't apologize to Mr. Guo Jia who is not here! ”
The other generals also showed displeasure, obviously dissatisfied with Liang Xi's statement.
Xu Ji looked at Liang Xi quietly. If it were someone else, I would have said this, I was afraid that Xu Ji would have already been furious, but he would not have said it to Liang Xi and Xu Ji. Because Xu Ji knew that Liang Xi was definitely not this kind of person who played right and wrong, and Liang Xi admired Guo Jia the most on weekdays, he would never maliciously slander Guo Jia, so he had to listen to Liang Xi's words, and at this moment, the crowd would be a little unhappy, which stopped everyone's dissatisfaction with Liang Xi. said to Liang Xi in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the corner, so as not to make everyone anxious." ”
Liang Xixian bowed deeply to Xu Ji, not at all surprised by Xu Ji's intentions, and said to Xu Ji: "Lord Mingjian, what his subordinates said just now is not the words of the kid's heart, but the words that the Lord Gong is likely to hear from other people's mouths before and after entering Jizhou. ”
Liang Xi looked at the people who were thinking because of his words: "Everyone, please think about it, how many people in the world know the relationship between the lord and Mr. Guo Jia like us?" I'm afraid there aren't a few, right? Now that Mr. Guo Jia has seized Jizhou for the lord, there will naturally be rumors, which is not a big deal, after all, rumors stop at the wise. But Mr. Guo Jia's contribution will naturally be criticized by people with ulterior motives, do you think so? ”
Only then did everyone understand that Liang Xi did not really suspect Guo Jia, but was hypothetizing a situation. Now it seems that this situation is almost inevitable.
Liang Xi said to Xu Ji: "There is a saying that 'three people become tigers', and it is best for the lord to be prepared to deal with the situation where rumors are flying all over the sky before entering Jizhou." Further, not only does the lord need to be prepared, but so does Mr. Guo Jia, who is not the lord, so how can he be completely clear about the trust that the lord of the Dao Dao has in him? Don't forget that the lord and Mr. Guo Jia have not seen each other for a long time, and there must be many strange places. Don't be suspicious here, Mr. Guo Jia guessed about the lord first. ”
After hearing Liang Xi's words, Xu Ji's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but look at Liang Xi in front of him. I didn't expect that in just two years, Liang Xi has changed so much.
Of course, Xu Ji was even more surprised by Liang Xi's words just now, which determined the biggest difference between Liang Xi and Guo Jia.
Indeed, Guo Jia is full of strategies and scheming, and the overall situation is quite good, although it is slightly inferior to Xu Ji himself, but it is not far behind.
But Guo Jia's overall view is more manifested in the military than in politics, as Liang Xi said, Guo Jia's current situation is really worrying, not because he does not trust him, but because Guo Jia ushered in a military victory, but did not avoid political defeat.
Guo Jia's military performance completely overshadowed his lord, but he didn't think of how to protect himself. If someone else were to be Guo Jia's father-in-law, Guo Jia would only be afraid that he would be killed, and what Liang Xi did was to protect this "ghost talent" Guo Fengxiao who would not hide his edge!
