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

Chapter 32, Dead lips and cold teeth

Pension?

Zhang Fei was startled when he heard this, and then said depressedly: "Would it be a waste to spend money on this place?"

"Besides, the fallen soldiers will have their own compensation from the imperial court, so what does that have to do with me?"

It's not that he doesn't want to part with his family fortune, he just thinks that good steel should be used on the blade, and the money should be used to recruit soldiers and horses.

Guo Jia said seriously: "What Yide said is wrong. These soldiers and horses are actually under the command of the lord. What we are doing is actually to make them return to their hearts."

Zhang Fei thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll have someone pick it up right now."

When he decided to follow Liu Bei, he had already sold off his family property, but now his small treasury may have been cut in half.

Guo Jia patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when my lord becomes famous, your wealth will increase dozens of times."

This is not to make a big deal, even if the world was divided into three parts in his previous life, Zhang Fei had reached the level of becoming a general, and he was by no means comparable to a small private tycoon.

Zhang Fei nodded, but felt a little weird in his heart.

That being said, I still feel a little sad when half of my little vault is taken away.

The two of them immediately returned to their residences to wash up and prepare for tonight's celebration banquet.

——

When Guo Jia returned to his residence, the pretty widow was sewing clothes for him, as if she had assumed the role of a good wife and loving mother.

As soon as she saw Guo Jia coming in, Su Meiniang's face suddenly lit up with joy, she put down her needle and thread and threw herself into his arms.

Guo Jia was shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

He said seriously: "Beauty, women should be reserved."

Su Meiniang rolled her eyes at him angrily, but now she pretended to be a gentleman.

However, she was already used to this man's mischievous tone from time to time, so she didn't care and reached out to caress the thin cheek.

"You've lost weight."

The two of them obviously haven't seen each other for a few days, is this what they call living like a year?

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Jia has been full of energy and spirit since there are no goblins devouring Yang Qi in the past few days."

"Hmph, then why doesn't Fengxiao surrender to the goblin to avoid being harmed by her?"

Her original intention was that since she felt that she was a temptress, she should not provoke her.

What Guo Jia understood was another meaning.

…

…

…

In front of the gate of the governor's house, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang Fei had been waiting for a long time. Zhang Fei asked outright, "Why does it take so long for the military advisor to take a bath?"

As soon as these words came out, both Liu Bei and Guan Yu had strange expressions on their faces.

Liu Bei began to miss his wife who was far away in Zhuojun, while Guan Yu thought of the girl he admired back then.

Zhang Fei soon discovered that there was something wrong with his words. Although he was not married yet, he knew what to do when there was a woman in the family.

Guo Jia reached out and patted Zhang Fei's broad shoulder, and said with a meaningful expression: "Yide, if you have nothing to do, run to the mountains more often."

The implication is: The tiger we shot last time has finished eating, and it’s time to restock.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei reminded: "Sir, this is telling you to go to the mountains to hunt tigers more often and eliminate harm for the people."

Guan Yu couldn't bear to hear these words of tiger and wolf, and his face turned red from holding back.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly after hearing this, and then warned him with a serious face: "Sir, please be restrained. After a long time, the tiger is no longer useful."

"Let's go in quickly, don't keep everyone waiting."

Guo Jia didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. A woman in her thirties is like a tiger. Although Su Meiniang is not that old, she is no less powerful than a tigress.

——

At the banquet, Xun Sheng first pointed out the contributions of everyone, and then announced another piece of news.

Qingzhou was besieged, and the governor Kong Rong sent his generals to ask for help.

After hearing this, Guo Jia fell into deep thought.

Because of his and Liu Bei's early intervention, the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans led by Bo Cai have been defeated, and the future Battle of Changshe will not happen.

Even Guan Hai, who originally led an army to besiege Qingzhou, became the local general Zhang Bao.

At this time, Xun Sheng looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you think Qingzhou should be saved?"

As soon as he finished speaking, some people immediately raised objections. They believed that Yingchuan's soldiers and horses were only a few thousand, and they could barely protect themselves, let alone rescue others.

This statement was quickly echoed by many people. It is obvious that many wealthy and powerful families such as Yingchuan harbor the idea of ​​"a dead Taoist friend will not die of a poor Taoist".

Guo Jia slowly stood up.

"I think Qingzhou must be saved."

"Why?"

Guo Jia looked around at everyone and said calmly: "The danger in Yingchuan has been resolved. Although there are still remnants of bandits, there is nothing to fear."

"Furthermore, do you think that by continuing to allow the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to grow, Yingchuan will be able to survive alone?"

This is the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

Everyone present was an old fox, so they could naturally hear the underlying meaning.

But then someone raised doubts.

"If we bring all the troops and horses to support Qingzhou, and the Yellow Turban thieves from other states and counties come to attack, how can we stop them?"

After all, you still worry about the safety of your own family, which is human nature.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "I only need half of the troops and horses."

He originally had 5,000 troops, but after the war, his number was reduced by 20 to 30%, and now there are less than 4,000 left.

What Guo Jia wants is Yingchuan's original soldiers and horses. This army has been tempered by the war and has been tempered into a qualified force.

Xun Sheng couldn't help but persuade after hearing this: "I'm afraid the number of yellow scarf bandits in Qingzhou is still greater than that in Yingchuan. Have you thought about Fengxiao?"

At first, he did not expect that Guo Jia could defeat the Yellow Turban bandits, which were said to number 100,000, with only 5,000 men. What he thought was that the opponent could delay the arrival of the imperial army.

I have to admit that this man's strategy is really good. After hearing the story of that battle, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Soldiers are more valuable than finesse. Not to mention only one hundred thousand, I won't be afraid of another two hundred thousand."

In this era, people advocate painting a big pie, such as how thousands of armies can come and go freely from it, and millions of armies are wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing...

All in all, if you brag first, it doesn't matter if you get slapped in the face later, because the loser often can't hear it anymore.

Liu Bei also stood up at the right time, cupped his hands in front of Xun Sheng and said: "Bei is a descendant of the Empress of the Han Dynasty, and is willing to fight to the death for the Han Dynasty."

"The last general is willing to fight to the death."

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also spoke out one after another.

Xun Sheng tugged at his goatee and fell into deep thought.

At this time Xun Yu suddenly spoke.

"I believe that Qingzhou must be saved. If Qingzhou is allowed to fall, the Yellow Turbans will definitely invade."

These words not only help Guo Jia, but also explain the facts.

Yingchuan and Qingzhou are not far apart. If Qingzhou is occupied by the Yellow Turbans, the next step will be Yingchuan.

"Okay, let Xuande and Fengxiao lead two thousand troops to aid Qingzhou."
