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

Chapter 40, Uncle Liu is thirsty for talents, and Cao Mengde comes here because of his fame.

On the same day, Liu Bei and Guo Jia, who had won a great victory, immediately led their troops towards Duchang City. After hearing the news, Kong Rong went out of the city to welcome them and held a banquet in honor of them.

"Destroying the bandit army with one fire, the genius Guo Fengxiao is indeed well-deserved. Brother Decao has taught a good student."

At the banquet, Kong Rong praised him without hesitation.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "Master Kong is overly praised. This battle was not the result of the students alone. The strategy of this fire attack was the result of discussions between the students and General Liu."

Although Kong Rong is much younger than Sima Hui, he is of the same seniority, so it is reasonable to call him this.

"oh?"

Kong Rong looked at Liu Bei curiously after hearing this.

"I don't know the name of the general. Where does he come from?"

Liu Bei stood up, slightly cupped his hands towards Kong Rong, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I, Liu Bei, whose courtesy name is Xuande, to be honest, I am the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan."

Although the descendants of the Liu family are spread all over the world, they still cannot stop Uncle Liu from claiming his family name.

Kong Rong's face immediately became serious: "I didn't expect Xuande to be the queen of the royal family. It seems that God has really blessed this man. I will go to the memorial to ask for merit for Xuande."

Although Liu's descendants are no longer valuable, it still depends on what he has done.

Zhang Fei on the side was secretly drinking wine, feeling a little bored. The conversation he had just had with Guo Jia echoed in his mind from time to time.

【Yide, there is something you need to do at the banquet.】

【What's the matter?】

[Ask for money from the Governor Kong.]

【Why?】

[Because you seem reckless, you can use your drunken words to expose the matter.]

Zhang Fei is getting more and more unhappy. Why does he seem reckless? It's obviously because you are too embarrassed to speak and leave all the dirty work to me.

Could it be that I, Zhang Fei, was born a grievance?

hateful!

"It's nonsense, why not take some money from the treasury and let us pay for the fallen soldiers."

The rough voice broke up the conversation between Liu Bei and Kong Rong. Zhang Fei was already red-faced from drinking. Coupled with his own image, he perfectly fit the look of a drunkard.

Zhang Fei finally compromised, because he knew very well that if he didn't agree to this matter, the damn military advisor would be thinking about the other half of his family assets again.

Why do you say it again... Because the previous pension cost him half of his family wealth, and Guo Jia's small treasury was also emptied.

Money was coming in and out, and Zhang Fei felt that his status as a rich man could no longer be maintained.

Kong Rong was signaling to Liu Bei, but he froze when he heard this.

Liu Bei immediately scolded: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Feitian was not afraid of anything, but he was most afraid of his brother. He was immediately shaken by the drink, and half of his drunkenness was gone.

"Brother, I drank too much. I will apologize to Governor Kong right now."

He cursed in his heart, it turned out that the military advisor had not told his eldest brother about this matter.

Zhang Fei was about to apologize, but Kong Rong stopped him.

"Xuande doesn't need to be angry. This general also cares about the soldiers of the three armies."

puff……

Guo Jiaqi almost spit out the drink he had just put into his throat, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Does Zhang Yide care about soldiers?

Are you sure you didn't tell the wrong person?

I saw Kong Rong facing Zhang Fei with a kind smile on his face.

"I have had this intention for a long time. I wanted to wait until the banquet is over before mentioning it. Now that the general has spoken, let's give it now. Come on."

"What are your orders, my lord?"

"Go to the treasury immediately and get 30,000 yuan."

"Here!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia curled his lips secretly. He didn't think Kong Rong would have offered the money if he hadn't instigated Zhang Fei.

If you really have this idea, you should prepare it in advance instead of picking it up at the last moment.

Now in full public view, Kong Rong is always embarrassed to be an iron rooster.

——

Half a month later, Guo Jia followed Liu Bei and led his army back to Yingchuan.

In Yingchuan Academy, tea is made in a small pavilion by the lake.

"Fengxiao thinks, should we continue to assist other states and counties in the future?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It's no longer necessary. Firstly, my lord has no official position after all. Secondly, the soldiers have experienced a series of bloody battles. Now I am afraid that they are exhausted physically and mentally and are tired of war."

Their army originally numbered 3,000 people, but now there are only 800 people left. The war has tempered an elite division, but it has also deprived most of their lives.

Liu Bei nodded. As far as he knew, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted for nine months, it was actually initially under control after being violent for the first two months.

In the next half year, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life actually began to counterattack.

They have accumulated enough merits, and what is left is the operation of buying officials.

"I want to go to Xuzhou." Liu Bei suddenly said.

Guo Jia was startled when he heard this. After carefully checking the names of people in Xuzhou, he quickly got the answer.

Mi Zhu.

The reason why Liu Bei in his previous life could always raise an army again after repeated defeats was because he had Mi Zhu's support behind him.

If Zhang Fei is the tycoon of this era, Mi Zhu is a billionaire.

Good guys, the Reborn One is about to take advantage of his foresight again.

Guo Jia knew it well, but pretended to be confused on his face: "Why did my lord go to Xuzhou?"

This kind of acting has become a habit, and he even enjoys it.

Liu Bei pondered and said: "I heard that there is a very rich man in Xuzhou who likes to make friends from all over the world. I want to see if I can recruit him to his subordinates."

Guo Jia guessed correctly, he really wanted to recruit Mi Zhu.

After decades of fighting in his previous life, he naturally knew that money and food were indispensable if he wanted to achieve great things.

Liu Bei had no intention of hiding it, because if Mi Zhu agreed to surrender, Guo Jia would 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 merchants, the money and food problems will be solved."

After a pause, he changed the topic: "But my lord needs to bring five hundred soldiers with him to prevent any unexpected events."

As far as he knew, although the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou had been repelled by Tao Qian, they were not completely defeated.

"Okay, I will only take Yun Chang 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, while Guo Jia resumed his leisurely life, occasionally learning swordsmanship from Zhang Fei and keeping fit.

Everything is done to avoid repeating the mistake of dying young.

…

Two months later, an uninvited guest arrived in Yingchuan.

His name is Cao Cao, also known as Mengde.

Come here because of its reputation.

"Surprise soldiers descended from the sky outside the city of Yingchuan, and the valley was set ablaze in the forests of Duchang. I have heard of many famous people in Yingchuan for a long time. It is indeed extraordinary to see them today... Haha!"

A good poem to recite.

Guo Jia looked at the man in front of him who was neither handsome nor 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.

"My lord, Guo Jia, may I ask who you are?"

"I am Cao Cao, whose courtesy name is Mengde."

"But Cao Cao, who fights against eunuchs?"

"I didn't expect that Cao's reputation would spread to Yingchuan. It was a revelation."

"Why are you here, Your Excellency?"

"Hearing your name, I came here because of your fame."
