Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 13, Introducing Xun Yu

With Xun Yu's talent and ambition, even if Guo Jia is a close friend, he cannot directly persuade him. At most, he can only ask him to take Liu Bei into consideration.

As for the so-called "creating a Guangwu", although it sounds attractive, it is not enough to impress him.

Xun Yu had his own ideas, and even if Guo Jia recommended him, he still needed his approval.

"Yes, and no." Guo Jia did not hide anything. He knew that with Xun Yu's intelligence, such things could not be hidden from him.

"You and I both know that disaster will happen sooner or later on Taiping Road, and we also know very well that as long as this fire is burned, it will definitely be a monstrous fire sweeping the world."

"So being filial is to nip problems in the bud?"

"This is called being prepared."

The two looked at each other.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "I'm a little curious about what kind of person Liu Xuande is, so that he can actually make the always lazy Guo Fengxiao willingly pave the way for him."

Although he had met Liu Bei, he only had a brief moment in the academy that day and did not have any conversation.

Guo Jia said with great interest: "My lord is benevolent and righteous. I'm afraid that if Wenruo sees him, he might be deceived into a pirate ship if he is not careful. Jia is a lesson learned from the past."

Xun Yu said calmly: "If he can deceive me, what if I am driven by him?"

If Liu Bei can gain his approval, he will pave the way for him more diligently than Guo Jia.

The wind and snow were blowing outside, blowing biting chills.

...After a while, the two began to make tea and discuss the world.

Xun Yu asked while adding tea to Guo Jia: "I'm very curious about how Feng Xiao planned for Liu Bei."

Guo Jia picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said: "Make meritorious service, buy an official position, and go abroad."

Xun Yu is an extremely smart person. Talking to him doesn't have to be complicated. He only needs a small reminder and he can get a full picture.

Jiangong refers to the merits of the Yellow Turban.

Buying an official position is the policy of the imperial court.

As for releasing it outside...

"Where should I choose to base my filial piety?"

Xun Yu pointed out the key point. In fact, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty all had a basis for selection. The rich areas south of the Yangtze River could hide troops and gather grain, while the four war areas of the Central Plains states were convenient for advancement. Each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Bingzhou." Guo Jia did not hide anything, because these things would come to light after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it would not hurt even if Xun Yu finally surrendered to Cao Cao.

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and sighed: "As expected of Guo Fengxiao."

This is not to say that this choice is very wise, but it is full of risks and seems to be taking an eccentric approach.

However, crises and opportunities coexist, so Xun Yu said the words "As expected of Guo Fengxiao" because Guo Jia was called a genius precisely because of his unconstrained and eclectic thinking.

It was commendable that Liu Bei would be willing to accept such a risky suggestion, and Xun Yu secretly felt more confident.

The humble and courageous lord seems to be doing well now.

Guo Jia joked: "If Wen Ruo were to choose, where would you base your career?"

He didn't know where Xun Yu would choose, but it would definitely not be Bingzhou because it was too risky and did not fit with Xun Yu's thinking.

"I don't know how to choose, I can only make suggestions."

This is Xun Yu’s answer.

Guo Jia was astonished and then gave a thumbs up: "He is indeed a talented person like Wang Zuo."

He had to admit that Xun Yu was indeed more comprehensive than him, and their styles were completely different.

Guo Jia advocates taking the initiative, similar to Dugu Nine Swords, likes to strike first, and is full of strong aggression and desire to attack.

Xun Yu is more like Tai Chi, he likes to strike from behind and can always make up for his lord's flaws, leaving him with a solid rear.

But there is no doubt that Xun Yu's style is more stable.

Guo Jia secretly made up his mind to lure Xun Yu into Liu Bei's hands. Only by combining spear and shield can he remain invincible.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Fengxiao chose Bingzhou, so what is hidden in his eyes?"

Guo Jia also smiled and said, "What do Wenruo think?"

Both of them knew that Bingzhou was definitely not suitable as a long-term foundation place. It was surrounded by foreign tribes to the north, Youzhou and Jizhou to the east, Chang'an to the south, and Liangzhou to the west. It was no different from the place where the Four Wars were fought.

Coupled with a weak economy, it is by no means a solid foundation.

Rather than saying that Guo Jia was interested in Bingzhou, it would be better to say that he was eyeing a place in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Bingzhou.

But Xun Yu couldn't guess where exactly it was. Even though he was smart, he couldn't figure out Guo Jia's thoughts.

What's more, the reason why Guo Jia chose Bingzhou was because he had the advantage of foresight and knew that Guanzhong would be in chaos in the future.

What he is plotting is Guanzhong.

Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Fan successively dominated Guanzhong, but they were all short-lived.

At that time, they can take the opportunity to lead the Bingzhou Cavalry southward and become the new masters of Guanzhong.

At this time, Guanzhong was still the economic and political center, with far more potential than other places.

Of course, the more important point is that Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can look at the Central Plains like the Qin State did back then.

Xun Yu did not have the eye of God. Even if he had extraordinary ingenuity, he would not be able to predict the situation in Guanzhong many years later.

Xun Yu knew the reason why Guo Jia didn't want to reveal it, and he was obviously wary of him. After all, the two of them might be their own masters in the future.

"If Fengxiao reveals this, the debt can be wiped away."

Smart people always have a thirst for knowledge, especially when it comes to problems they cannot solve.

Xun Yu considered the possibility that Guo Jiatu was plotting against Guanzhong, but he couldn't guess how he would break the situation, and the other party might also be heading towards Jizhou.

Guo Jia smiled and scolded: "Xun Yu, Xun Yu, what you are doing is really unbecoming of a gentleman."

Actually planning to bribe him with money!

Xun Yu's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I have never been a gentleman."

Gentleman, that was granted by outsiders.

As a mastermind, he can be shameless when necessary.

"If Wen wants to know, he can either guess by himself, or... serve the same master with me."

Who kind of person is he, Guo? How could he be moved by such vulgar things as money?

Unless...add money!

Xun Yu said calmly: "Add another 50,000 yuan!"

These words are full of boldness and generosity. Although he is a member of a noble family, he is the future head of the Xun family and is qualified to use the family's property.

But precisely because of his different status, he is more cautious in his choices than Guo Jia, because his investment is equivalent to that of the entire Xun family.

"No need to discuss." Guo Jia felt a little moved, but in the end he decisively refused.

This matter regarding their future direction must not be leaked.

Xun Yu sighed in his heart, Guo Caimi also changed his gender now.

"I want to meet that Liu Xuande."

He suddenly thought of Guo Jia's words "Create a Guangwu". If there is someone worthy of being created among the Liu family, even if the other party's capital is smaller, it is not unacceptable.

After four hundred years of inheritance from the Han Dynasty, it still carries a lot of weight.

Guo Jia's eyes lit up: "Okay, I will make arrangements tomorrow."
