Zhang Hao looked at the soldier in front of him a little familiar, but he didn't remember who it was for a while, so he took the letter and asked, "Which Lord Liu is it?" ”

"Huh?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, there was such a Lord Liu in the mansion, but he still replied: "It's Liu Bei Lord Liu." ”

"Oh......" Zhang Hao remembered, this soldier was actually a herald of the Pingyuan County Ya, but he didn't usually use him much, so he just looked familiar.

"You get up and sit down first." Zhang Hao said as he opened the letter that Liu Bei brought him.

When the soldier heard Zhang Hao's words, how dare he really sit down, so he stood aside and waited, waiting for Zhang Hao to finish the letter.

Liu Bei's letter mainly said three things. The first is to say that the Keju League has restarted, the second is to congratulate Zhang Hao on his promotion to the Plains Taishou, and the third is to ask Zhang Hao to bring back a few people who can play football as much as possible, otherwise the current Pingyuan County may not have enough manpower.

There was not much content in the letter, and Zhang Hao read it quickly. Fold the letter again and put it in his arms, Zhang Hao turned his head to the soldier and said, "I have finished reading the letter, you go back and tell my eldest brother that I will rush back to Pingyuan County in ten days." ”

"Yes!" As he spoke, the soldier turned and left the restaurant.

When the soldiers left, Guo Jia, who had not spoken, asked, "But what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Hao nodded and replied: "Well, what Feng Xiao said before is right, the Keju League has restarted, and the competition will start next month." Then I was promoted from Pingyuan County Order to Pingyuan Taishou, and my eldest brother also asked me to bring a few people who could play games back, after all, now I want to participate in the county-level Keju League, and only the four of us are not enough. After saying this, Zhang Hao told Guo Jia about the new league rules introduced by Liu Bei in the letter.

After listening to Zhang Hao, Guo Jia pondered for a while, and then said: "If my guess is correct, this idea of restarting the Keju League must have been thought up by Dong Zhuo's strategists. ”

Zhang Hao didn't know why, and asked, "Oh? How so? ”

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said: "Now the princes of Guanzhong have formed an alliance, and it is precisely because of the strength of the coalition that Dong Zhuo was forced to burn the city and move the capital. However, the biggest change in this Keju League compared with the past is that the outcome of the game can determine the size of the territory of each force, which is an extremely delicious piece of fat for the princes of Guanzhong, and there is no reason not to bite two bites. In this way, the princes of Guanzhong will inevitably attack each other, and Dong Zhuo only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. This kind of thing that is beneficial to Dong Zhuo and harmless cannot be thought up by the ministers of the imperial court. ”

Zhang Hao opened his mouth and asked: "But Dong Zhuo himself will also be involved in the league, how can he guarantee that his territory will not be swallowed up by other princes?" ”

Guo Jia dipped his fingers in some wine, and said while drawing on the table: "Dong Zhuo is now sitting in Chang'an, that is, Yongzhou. To the north is Xianbei Barbarian, who does not participate in our league. To the west is Liangzhou, although Liangzhou Thorn Shi Han Sui and Taishou Ma Teng are strong, but if they have Dong Zhuobi who has Lu Bu, it is still not enough. To the south is Yizhou, and most of Liu Yan's subordinates are civil officials, and they can only protect themselves when they participate in the league. To the east is Sizhou, but Luoyang, the capital of the state, has just been burned by Dong Zhuo himself, and Sizhou is now empty, so naturally no one will fight with Dong Zhuo.

The only thing that can pose a threat to Dong Zhuo now is Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. Although Nanyang is not close to Chang'an, in fact, there is an official road between the two cities, only one pass apart, which can also be regarded as adjacent, if Yuan Shu still has the heart to ask Dong, he may be able to take this opportunity to save the Han family. It's just that the east of Nanyang is Yuzhou, and Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling is weak and incompetent, with Yuan Shu's heart, he will definitely go to grab the territory of Yuzhou, and he will not have a hard time with Dong Zhuo. ”

While Guo Jia was talking here, Zhang Hao recalled the situation during this period in "Romance", and quickly understood the current situation, and Guo Jia continued: "Looking at it this way, Dong Zhuo will be safe and sound at least in the short term, plus the melee of the princes, this day is really going to change......"

Zhang Hao listened and said: "Dong Zhuo doesn't have to worry about it, even if there is no encirclement and suppression by the princes, he is doomed to perish." ”

Guo Jia was puzzled: "Why did you say this every day? ”

Zhang Hao just wanted to explain, but then he remembered that Wang Yun's beauty plan had not yet been used, and after thinking about it, he forcibly explained: "If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy, looking at Dong Zhuo's current posture, it is not far from destruction." Besides, Dong Zhuo's act of burning the city is angry and resentful, as the so-called evil has evil retribution, but the time has not yet come. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he muttered, "I didn't expect to believe these ...... every day."

Zhang Hao wanted to skip this topic quickly, so he said: "Don't talk about Dong Zhuo, the current Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai is the former official of Gongsun Zhan, and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong is also famous, so I really can't do anything about these two people." If you continue to stay in Qingzhou, it will be difficult to do. ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "When I left from Yuan Shao, I heard that the remnants of Qingzhou gold seem to be showing signs of rebellion, and they can start from here every day, and then they will try to attack Qingzhou." ”

Qingzhou Yellow Turban?

Zhang Hao recalled the content of "Romance" and calculated, it seemed that it was really almost time for the Qingzhou soldiers to make a rebellion, and Cao Cao also took this opportunity to incorporate the Qingzhou soldiers, so that he could be regarded as embarking on the road of development. So Zhang Hao spoke again: "Well, it's really a good way to start with the remnants of the Yellow Turban...... Before, my eldest brother asked me to find some people who can juju, what good candidates are there here? ”

Guo Jia said: "I don't know who can juju, but I have a friend who is a descendant of the Mo family, and may be of some help to Ritian." ”

Really!

Hearing Guo Jia's answer, Zhang Hao knew that he had asked this question correctly, if he guessed correctly, the person Guo Jia said was Liu Ye.

In "Romance", after Cheng Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao, Guo Jia recommended Liu Ye to Cao Cao. Liu Ye doesn't have many roles in "Romance", but his achievements are really not small. At the time of the Battle of Guandu, it was with the catapult transformed by Liu Ye that Cao Cao was not beaten back to his hometown by Yuan Shao at the beginning, and then he had the record of burning the black nest to win more with less. Liu Ye's craftsmanship can be described as superb.

It's just that Zhang Hao doesn't care about Liu Ye, after all, no matter how skilled Liu Ye is, he won't be too direct help for the Keju competition. What Zhang Hao really cares about is the person recommended by Liu Ye to Cao Cao in "Romance", full of favor.

If Liu Ye is the heir of the Mo family, then Man Chong can be regarded as the heir of the Legalist family. The writing of almost all the decrees in Cao Cao's jurisdiction is indispensable to the figure of full favor. Not only that, in the Jingzhou battlefield and the Jiangdong battlefield, Man Chong also made a lot of contributions, and can be said to be one of the rare all-rounders in the Three Kingdoms.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao asked quietly: "Feng Xiao is talking about Huainan Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang?" ”

Guo Jia didn't expect Zhang Hao to even know Liu Ye, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect to know this person every day." ”

Zhang Hao snorted and said: "Liu Ye's one-handed craftsmanship has also been mentioned by the family teacher. Although according to Fengxiao, Liu Ye will not bow, but as long as it is a talent, I, Zhang Hao, will welcome it with both hands. ”

After that, Zhang Hao paused and spoke again: "If Liu Ye also knows any talents, it would be great." ”
