In Chapter 40, Uncle Liu Huang was eager to be virtuous, and Cao Mengde came to admire him
On the erection day, after the victory, Liu Bei and Guo Jia immediately led the army to Duchang City, and Kong Rong went out of the city to greet him after learning the news, and set up a banquet to entertain him.
"A fire burned down the thief army, the ghost talent Guo Fengxiao really lived up to his reputation, and Brother Decao taught a good student."
At the banquet, Kong Rong did not hesitate to praise.
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Master Confucius has an overreputation, this battle is not the work of the students alone, and the strategy of this fire attack is that the students and General Liu discussed." ”
Although Kong Rong is much younger than Sima Hui, he is of the same generation, so it is reasonable to call him so.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Kong Rong looked at Liu Bei curiously.
"I don't know the name of the general, where did he come from?"
Liu Bei stood up, bowed his hand slightly to Kong Rong, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Under Liu Bei, the word Xuande, it is not a secret, Bei is after King Jing of Zhongshan." ”
Although the descendants of the Liu family are all over the world, they still can't stop Uncle Liu from reporting to his family.
Kong Rong's face immediately turned grim: "I didn't expect Xuande to be the queen of the royal family, it seems that God blesses the great man, and I should play for Xuande to ask for credit." ”
Although the descendants of the Liu family are no longer valuable, it also depends on what he has done.
Zhang Fei on the side was secretly drinking alcohol, a little bored in his heart, and the conversation with Guo Jia just now always echoed in his mind from time to time.
[Yide, there is something you need to do at the banquet. 】
[What's the matter?] 】
[Seek wealth from the history of hole stabs. 】
[Why?] 】
[Because you seem reckless, you can use drunken words to expose the matter.] 】
Zhang Fei is getting more and more unhappy, what does it mean that he looks reckless, it is obvious that you are all embarrassed to speak, and leave all the dirty work to me to do.
Could it be that I, Zhang Fei, was born with a big injustice?
Damn it!
"It's nonsense, it's better to take some money from the treasury and let us pay for the fallen soldiers."
The rough voice broke the conversation between Liu Bei and Kong Rong, Zhang Fei was already red-faced, and coupled with his own image, he perfectly matched the appearance of a drunk.
Zhang Fei finally compromised, because he knew very well that if he didn't agree to this matter, the hateful military advisor would have to worry about his other half of the family again.
Why do you say it again...... Because the previous pension cost him half of his family wealth, Guo Jia's small treasury was also emptied.
There is no silver in and out, and Zhang Fei feels that his identity as a local tyrant is about to be unmaintainable.
Kong Rong was signaling to Liu Bei, and suddenly froze when he heard this.
Liu Bei immediately scolded: "You black guy, what nonsense! ”
Zhang Feitian was not afraid, but he was most afraid of his brother, and he immediately shook his whole body when he was drunk, and half of his wine was gone.
"Big, big brother, I drank too much, so I'll make amends to Kong Tingshi."
He secretly cursed in his heart, it turned out that the military advisor did not tell the eldest brother about this matter.
Zhang Fei was about to make amends, but was stopped by Kong Rong.
"Xuande doesn't need to be angry, this general is also concerned about the soldiers of the three armies."
Burst......
Guo Jia's wine almost didn't squirt out when it just entered his throat, and he looked incredulous.
Zhang Yide cares about soldiers?
Are you sure you said the wrong person?
I saw Kong Rong facing Zhang Fei with a kind smile on his face.
"I had this intention for a long time, and I wanted to wait until after the banquet to mention it, but since the general has spoken, let's give it now, come on."
"What does the lord command?"
"Go to the treasury immediately and get 30,000 yuan."
"Whoa!"
Guo Jia pursed his lips secretly after hearing this, he didn't think that if he hadn't instigated Zhang Fei's play, Kong Rong would have taken the initiative to give money.
If you really have this idea, you should prepare it in advance, not wait until the end of the day.
Now in full view, Kong Rong is always embarrassed to be an iron rooster.
——
Half a month later, Guo Jia returned to Yingchuan with Liu Bei's army.
In Yingchuan Academy, a small pavilion by the lake makes tea.
"Feng Xiao thinks, do we want to continue to help other states and counties next?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "There is no need anymore, firstly, the lord has no official position after all, and secondly, the soldiers have experienced a series of bloody battles, and now I am afraid that they are physically and mentally exhausted, and they are war-weary." ”
Their army originally numbered 3,000 men, but now there were only 800 left, and the war sharpened an elite division, but also deprived most of their lives.
Liu Bei nodded, as far as he knew, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted for nine months, it had actually been initially controlled after the first two months.
For most of the next half year, in fact, the officers and troops from all walks of life began to counterattack.
The merits they have accumulated are enough, and the operation of buying officials is left behind.
"I want to go to Xuzhou." Liu Bei said suddenly.
Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and after carefully checking the names of people in Xuzhou, he soon had an answer.
Mi Zhu.
In his previous life, the reason why Liu Bei was always able to raise an army again after repeated defeats was because he had Mi Zhu's support behind him.
If Zhang Fei is a local tyrant in this era, Mi Zhu is a billionaire.
Good fellow, the Reborn is about to start using his prescient strengths again.
Guo Jia knew it, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face: "What is the lord going to Xuzhou for?" ”
This kind of acting has become a habit, and he even enjoys it a little.
Liu Bei groaned: "I heard that there is a huge wealth in Xuzhou, and he makes friends from all over the world on weekdays, and I want to try to recruit him to his command." ”
Guo Jia guessed right, he really wanted to recruit Mi Zhu.
In his previous life, he fought for decades, and he naturally knew that if he wanted to achieve great things, money and food were indispensable.
Liu Bei also didn't have the idea of hiding it, because if Mi Zhu agreed to work, Guo Jia would also know about it sooner or later.
Guo Jia deliberately pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's okay, our foundation is still shallow, if we can get the support of the merchants, the money and food problem will be solved." ”
After a pause, he changed his words: "But the lord needs to bring five hundred soldiers with him to accompany him, just in case." ”
As far as he knew, although the Yellow Turban on the Xuzhou side had been repelled by Tao Qian, it was not completely defeated.
"Okay, I only take Yunchang with me on this trip, and Yide will stay in Yingchuan to protect Fengxiao."
"Thank you, Lord."
So the next day, Liu Bei embarked on a journey to light up the golden finger, and Guo Jia resumed his leisurely life, occasionally learning swordsmanship from Zhang Fei to strengthen his body.
All in order not to repeat the mistake of dying young.
……
Two months later, an uninvited guest arrived in Yingchuan.
His name is Cao Cao, and his name is Mengde.
Admiring.
"Strange soldiers outside Yingchuan City descended from the sky, Duchang Forest burned the valley, I heard many soldiers in Yingchuan early, and today I saw it really extraordinary...... Hey-ha! ”
A good poem to chant.
Guo Jia looked at the man in front of him, who was not handsome or tall, and his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to reveal a hint of wisdom.
Although they have never met, Guo Jia has vaguely guessed the identity of the other party.
"In Xia Guo Jia, dare to ask Your Excellency?"
"In Xia Cao Cao, the word Mengde."
"But Cao Cao, who fought the eunuchs?"
"I didn't expect the fame of Cao to spread to Yingchuan, and it should be a big white."
"Why did you come?"
"When I hear the name of you, I come here."
