"The second thing is the girls I saw at the gate of the house just now. They were all sent by prestigious families in various counties and counties. Expressing kindness, I also want to get the same feedback from the lord, do you think you can choose a dozen people who can be seen in the house? When asking this sentence, Guo Jia's gaze was even more close to Zhang Chao's face, obviously he couldn't guess the true thoughts of the lord when it came to this question.

"Oh, that's a problem." Zhang Chao's face became dark. But after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Haha, in fact, this problem is easy to solve."

"How many people does the lord plan to take?" Hearing that it was easy to solve, Guo Jia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the lord was willing to take concubines, then things would be much easier. Although it is said that it is not possible to win over all of them, as long as it can attract a large number of people, it is enough.

"Of course it's all taken." Zhang Chao replied very happily, which surprised Guo Jia, he thought in his heart, although the lord is still young, but he has taken it all, I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it.

While Guo Jia was still surprised, Zhang Chao said again: "Didn't Fengxiao say that these girls have a background?" In order to stabilize the situation in the entire state, it is naturally best to collect it all, right? ”

"Yes, that's the case, it's just that there are more than 30 women here, this..." Guo Jia's meaning is very obvious, so many women have been accepted by the lord, I'm afraid that this shepherd's mansion is really too lively.

"What is this? I said I would take it all, but I didn't say I would take it. After seeing Guo Jia's thoughts, Zhang Chao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, I said Fengxiao, what do you think of me, do you think I really have such energy and time?" Okay, I'll say it straight, Fengxiao shouldn't have married a wife yet, and there are people like Jia Xu, Lu Su, Xu Shu, Li Ru, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and General Huang Zhong have also lost their wives for a long time, each of you can pick two or three, in this way, in addition to other generals in the army, I don't think these thirty or so numbers are not much at all, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right? ”

"Ahh My lord, this must not be done. Guo Jia also thought that Zhang Chao had such an idea, and he calculated it for himself and others.

"Why not?" Zhang Chao was indeed puzzled and said: "Feng Xiao also said just now, I can't eat any of these more than 30 women, even if this is the case, whoever accepts or not will give people a sense of favoritism." Then it's fair that no one will accept it, and others will not complain. In order to show your sincerity, if you accept it all, it is equivalent to me accepting it, so that the problem is solved, and your personal relationship problem is also solved. Follow me Zhang Chao, and you will not be treated badly in this regard. ”

Zhang Chao reasoned with the facts, which made Guo Jia a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Seeing that Guo Jia stopped talking, Zhang Chao said: "Okay, the matter is decided, this matter will be done before noon, Xu Shu, Xu Huang, and Li Ru are not there, and your wife will be decided by you." ”

Zhang Chao said in a commanding tone, which made Guo Jia have to say with a wry smile on his face: "In this way, Jia has thanked the lord on behalf of everyone." ”

"Haha, you don't have to be so polite, we're all brothers." Zhang Chao knew that Guo Jia's answer was to accept this solution to the problem. So this matter can be revealed, and then he asked, "Fengxiao, is there anything else that must be solved?" ”

"Ahh I didn't think about this for the time being, but when I got back, I was reporting something important to the Lord. Guo Jia has been confused by Zhang Chao's method this time, and he has some reluctance.

"Okay, that's it, you can arrange it later, and we'll do the first thing well." Zhang Chao's mind is still very clear. There are only two things that must be done, and once the second thing has been solved, the first thing to solve is first.

The so-called old owner of the state is Ding Qi, the younger brother of Ding Yuan.

Since Ding Yuan's death, the country has been in turmoil, and there has been no new state pastor in the state, and Ding Qi, as a brother, temporarily took over the position of brother. Although they have not really led the state for a day in the past three years, the Ding family is still the largest famous family here, and the major families are also watching it, looking forward to how the new shepherd will treat Ding Qi when he comes.

As early as after Zhang Chao passed the news to Guo Jia, the first army officially entered Jinyang City and began to fight for the arrival of the army, that is, at that moment, Ding Qi was completely placed under house arrest. He had been in the Former State Lord's Mansion for more than two months.

For more than two months, Ding Qi was very worried in his heart. He hadn't seen Zhang Chao, and he hadn't even heard of it before, so he really couldn't guess how this person would treat him.

In the courtyard of the old state lord's mansion, Ding Qi sat in a pavilion, with a straight face, and his troubles and sorrows were expressed.

By Ding Qi's side, there was a bearded man standing on the left, more than eight feet tall and burly. This person is Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, a famous general in Bingzhou.

Zhang Liao, whose name is far away, is a native of Mayi, Yanmen, and after Ben Nie Yi, he changed his surname to Zhang in order to avoid disasters.

During the period of the Han Dynasty, the original and state assassin Shi Ding originally used Zhang Liao's military strength and called him to engage. Because of Zhang Chao's unexpected appearance and historical changes, he did not enter Luoyang, the capital division, and did not become Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's subordinates, but always guarded Jinyang City for Ding Yuan, and became one of the most trusted people of his brother Ding Qi.

To the right of Ding Qi stood a young man who was more than seven feet tall. He is wearing a guard's costume, with a wooden expression, giving people a sense of not smiling, he is Gao Shun, the deputy general of the city defense army of the former Jincheng, because of his strict military law, fairness, innocence and majesty by Ding Qi, and Zhang Liao has become one of the most trusted people.

Now these two people are standing by Ding Qi's side on the left and right, both to protect and to comfort them.

Zhang Chao entered the city today, and this matter has spread all over the streets and alleys, and naturally Ding Qi also knows about it. I'm afraid that my fate will have a result in these two days, how can it not be upset?

Ding Qi didn't know Zhang Chao, so he didn't know how he would treat himself. It is possible to be treated favorably in order to win people's hearts, or it is possible to kill in order to intimidate others. In short, there are any possibilities, but they don't seem to be certain, and that's the real annoyance.

"General Ding, don't panic, if this Zhang Zhiyuan really wants to embarrass you, it's a big deal that we will fight with him." Zhang Liao saw Ding Qi's worries, but he really didn't know how to comfort him, so he used the most simple and easy-to-understand words to express his intentions.

"What General Zhang said is extremely true. If Zhang Zhiyuan treats the general well, then he will do it, if not, I will take the fifty soldiers I personally trained to fight with him. Even if you can't kill him, you have to hit him hard, let him know that we know how powerful our state army is. Gao Shunfeidan agreed with Zhang Liao's point of view, and judging by the meaning of his words, it seemed that he was ready.

To say that the native soldiers of the first army are indeed very strong. However, in Gao Shun's opinion, it was still inferior to the fifty soldiers he personally trained, and he was confident that he would fight with Zhang Chao after he appeared.

Listening to the relief of the two generals, Ding Qi shook his head hesitantly and said: "You can't do it unless you have to do it, after all, Zhang Zhiyuan is a general worshiped by the emperor himself, and he is the new governor of the state." ”

Ding Qi's personality is a little cowardly, far less than his brother Ding Yuan can fight well, although the world has been in turmoil over the years, but in Jinyang City, he has indeed been living a pampered life, and he is very tired of fighting and killing, so he has this to say.

Although Ding Qi did not agree with this, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were indeed ready to fight when things were the worst. Both of them had received preferential treatment from Ding Qi, and both thought that now was the time to repay the favor.

When the three of them were discussing in the small pavilion, outside the gate of the mansion, the high-pitched voice of a talented soldier of the first army did sound: "The general has arrived!" ”

"So fast?" As soon as he heard that Zhang Chao had come to the mansion, Ding Qi felt his legs tremble, and he almost didn't sit on the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun supported him on the left and right, and then the two generals whispered to him at the same time: "Don't be afraid, general, I'll wait here." ”

"Well, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. Let's go, and the two of you will come with me to meet the general. Ding Qi said that he was not afraid, but he did stutter when he spoke, and it was very obvious whether he was afraid or not.

Under the protection of Zhang Chao and Gao Shun, Ding Qi reluctantly got up and left. As soon as he left the square pavilion, he saw a group of people walking in the distance.

The leader is Zhang Chao, who is dressed in a striking white cloak, looking dignified from a distance, his eyes are shining, giving people a sense of infinite energy.

To the left of Zhang Chao is Guo Jia, the current Jincheng parent official. To their right were Dian Wei and Xu Chu, followed by eight majestic guards dressed in black armor and with eagle feathers on their helmets.

As soon as Zhang Chao and the others appeared, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun felt a burst of great pressure, especially the appearance of Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the eight iron guards, which actually made Gao Shun feel extremely dangerous. Although he hadn't fought yet, he was already estimating that the soldiers he trained would have a few chances of winning once they fought against these people.

Ding Qi is not good at fighting, and he has not learned much about swords and guns, so he naturally despises the pressure brought by those iron guards. What he valued more was Zhang Chao who stepped forward, and when the other party was still three feet away from him, he fell to his knees with a thud, and then said with a very surrendered look: "Ding Qi greets the general." ”

Although the general is not a permanent position in the imperial court, his power can indeed be compared to the three dukes, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to see the general pay homage.
