Chapter 20, Exchange of Interests

"I'm obedient, these ordnance are enough to equip thousands of people."

In the warehouse behind the cottage, Zhang Fei looked at the weapons and armor piled up on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Bei was also a little surprised, but then he was relieved, the yellow scarf can sweep the world in a short period of time, and he must be prepared.

Guo Jia was thoughtful.

"Big brother, sir, in your opinion, what should be done with this batch of ordnance?" Guan Yu raised the key question, do they take this batch of armaments for themselves, or do they have to hand it over?

He can mention Guo Jia, obviously he already regards him as his own.

In fact, Guan Yu has gradually recognized the ability of this young scholar.

The seemingly weak body has played a huge role, whether it is the previous analysis of the situation in the world, or the strategy of dividing the troops into three ways and raiding at night this time, it all reflects this person's ability.

Thinking about it from another position, if I were to be this gang of "bandits", I would not have thought that the officers and soldiers would launch a surprise attack at night in this cold season.

Liu Bei subconsciously looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

In his previous life, he was also an emperor, even if he was just in a corner of peace, he knew what he should do as a human master.

When faced with an important decision, whether you have a way or not, you must first ask for everyone's opinions.

In addition to brainstorming, it is also a chance for his subordinates to perform, and he only needs to make a final decision.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Lord, it is a serious crime to possess weapons privately!" ”

Although the Han Dynasty was a martial artist, most of them could only wear swords, but they could not craft armor or other weapons. Once the defendant is accused, it is likely to be linked to an attempt to commit rebellion.

Liu Bei instantly understood, and then said without hesitation: "All food, ordnance, all handed over." ”

In the previous life, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost, not to mention the equipment of a few thousand people.

He may not be very good at the art of war, but he also has his own merits, that is, he is decisive enough to make up his mind immediately when he sees something.

Guo Jia's meaning is obvious, none of the three brothers have official positions, and if they swallow this batch of weapons, there will be endless troubles.

"Big brother, this ......" Although Zhang Fei knew that what Guo Jia said was right, he was inevitably a little reluctant to hand over all the weapons in one go.

"Big brother, why don't we leave Sancheng? No, two percent! ”

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, and his face was more ruddy than before.

"Third brother, let's listen to the eldest brother and Mr."

Although he was also a little reluctant, he also knew the concerns of his brother and husband, which was to leave no flaws.

Although the soldiers and horses of this campaign were nominally theirs, this was only temporary, and these trophies could not be hidden.

Paper can't contain fire......

Guo Jia walked up to Zhang Fei's side, patted his broad shoulder, and said meaningfully: "It's yours, no one can snatch it, this batch of ordnance is just temporarily put into storage." ”

Zhang Fei was confused, and it was difficult to understand these words for a while.

Liu Bei smiled and said nothing, he knew that Guo Jia was referring to the next Yellow Turban Rebellion.

When the world is turbulent in the future, all states and counties will expand their armies to deal with it, and at that time, the grain, grass, and ordnance in the treasury will naturally not be put in use.

——

On the first day, as soon as the sky was bright, Guo Jia came to the county guard mansion to report to Xun Sheng on the process and results of the suppression of bandits.

"Uncle, these are all the gains from this crackdown."

Guo Jia presented Xun Sheng with a roll of bamboo slips.

The middle-aged scribe on the side suddenly stepped forward to take it and put it on Xun Sheng's table instead.

Xun Sheng was still a little puzzled, and it stands to reason that there is no need to report to him to exterminate a group of bandits.

But when he opened the bamboo slip and saw the list on it, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

He automatically ignored the capture of hundreds of bandits and the capture of thousands, and he paid attention to the number of ordnance, grain and grass, and the number of craftsmen.

It's almost a small arsenal.

Xun Sheng looked at Guo Jia with a solemn face and asked, "Fengxiao, is everything written on this true?" ”

Guo Jia nodded: "It's true." ”

Xun Sheng was silent for a moment.

The middle-aged scribe on the side was a little puzzled, he knew very well that his lord's qi cultivation kung fu, what kind of battle report could make him happy?

After a while, Xun Sheng's face returned to calm, and he spoke again: "According to Fengxiao, should this battle report be submitted to the imperial court?" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand with a serious face: "The little nephew is just a scholar, no official or position, and he doesn't dare to talk about political affairs." ”

Xun Sheng secretly scolded the little fox in his heart, why didn't you say that when you borrowed troops from me to suppress bandits?

Guo Jia continued: "But the little nephew thinks that even if my uncle wants to report, he should have reservations. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because if you let the court know that there are so many thieves in your uncle's jurisdiction, and they are privately making weapons, how will your uncle explain it at that time?"

Guo Jia looked joking, and Xun Sheng suddenly understood.

This list is reported, not only is it not a credit, but it is likely to be cured of poor governance.

"What does Bonghyo think should be done?"

"We're exterminating bandits, and as for this ordnance...... Isn't it newly created in the treasury? ”

Xun Sheng suddenly found that the young man in front of him was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, which not only added a political achievement to him, but also helped him save a sum of military expenses.

The old fox and the little fox looked at each other and smiled.

Xun Sheng said with a smile: "Feng Xiao has made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want?" ”

If the other party wishes, he can become a sponsor in his career.

However, Guo Jia said: "This time, the little nephew is just moving his mouth, and it is the soldiers of the three armies who are really charging into battle, especially Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei is the most." ”

"These two people bravely won the three armies, and if my uncle can reward him heavily, he will definitely be able to make the soldiers of the three armies grateful."

As for why he didn't mention Liu Bei, it was because Liu Guan and Zhang were the same, and Guan and Zhang held military power, which was equivalent to Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Xun Sheng has been up and down in the Huan Sea for many years, how can he not hear the sound outside of this.

What's more, on the military report submitted by Guo Jia, there was originally the number of enemies killed by two people, although it was a bit unbelievable, but it didn't matter if it was true or not.

Xun Sheng muttered: "Guan Yu is both wise and brave, and he was promoted to captain, and Zhang Fei is brave and good at fighting, and he is promoted to military Sima." ”

It's a bargain of interests, and it's also a return for courtesy.

The two of them were promoted a bit quickly, after all, they were originally just civilians.

It is not so much that he relied on military merits, but that Xun Sheng pushed the boat down the river and handed over the thousand soldiers and horses to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia bowed deeply and arched his hand: "Make you smart." ”

"Hmm."

Xun Sheng nodded slightly: "The two of them have unique skills, so they should be reused." ”

"The little nephew retired."

…… After Guo Jia left, the middle-aged scribe couldn't help but say, "Does the lord really want to hand over this army to Guo Jia?" ”

"Guo Fengxiao is good at military strategy, and this army is more useful in his hands."

After Xun Sheng finished speaking, he looked down at the bamboo slips on the table, and faintly felt a storm in his heart.
