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

Chapter 55, Xun Yu joins

"Bingzhou Mu?"

Guo Jia and Mi Zhu looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Nowadays, the position of the governor-general of each state is the governor, which seems to be similar to that of the state pastor, but in fact there is an essential difference between the two.

The power of the state pastor is greater, similar to that of the princes and kings during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

As far as he knew, the emperor would then ennoble Han clan clan members as state shepherds, such as Liu Yan in Yizhou, Liu Yu in Youzhou... However, so many Liu clan princes could not support the Han clan, and instead had only humble origins.

Liu Bei achieved three points of the world.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "It seems that His Majesty thinks highly of the Lord."

Liu Bei nodded: "Because of this, I must be diligent and self-denial to guard one side for the Han Dynasty."

In addition, if Your Majesty cannot protect the Han Dynasty, then I will help the Han Dynasty.

The following words were said to myself in my heart.

Liu Bei asked: "When does Fengxiao think we should set off?"

Guo Jia replied without hesitation: "Soldiers need to be quick, but late will cause changes."

Liu Bei made a decisive decision.

"Okay, then I'll set off tomorrow."

At this moment, the guard came to report.

"General, there is a man outside the door who calls himself [Xun Yu] and wants to see you."

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to look at Liu Bei, who also happened to look over.

The two said in unison.

"Done!"

Liu Bei said again: "Please come quickly... No, I will go and greet you personally." After saying this, he quickly walked towards the gate without waiting for others to speak.

Seeing his happy expression, Mi Zhu couldn't help but asked curiously: "But the Xun family of Yingchuan, known as the Eight Dragons of the Xun family?"

Guo Jia nodded and smiled: "Of course!"

Now it was just when he had just proposed to merge the state, Xun Yu came to visit at this time, and his attitude was self-evident.

At this time, Zhang Fei on the side snorted, with the word dissatisfaction written on his face.

Seeing this, Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Yide must not be rude. When you meet Xun Wenruo, you will know that it is worthwhile for my lord to do this."

"No matter how smart he is, he can still compare to you, the military advisor?"

"Better than me ten times."

Guo Jia said that catchphrase.

Guan Yu chuckled and said: "There will never be anyone in this world who is ten times better than a military advisor."

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, then continued to stare at Zhang Fei.

The latter said dullly: "I know."

——

After a while, Liu Bei came over holding Xun Yu's hand. His proud smile was a little brighter. It can be said that people are in high spirits during happy events.

Guo Jiadu stepped forward to greet him, laughing and scolding: "Well, you Xun Wenruo, you secretly came to the capital by yourself, and you didn't even know to say anything."

Xun Yu's expression remained unchanged and he said seriously: "I wanted to talk to Feng Xiao last night, but I heard that General Cao had already taken the lead."

After saying this, Guo Jia and others were a little embarrassed.

Xun Wenruo seems to be a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade, but in fact he also has a sultry side.

After a few people sat down, Liu Bei asked with a smile: "We are leaving for Bingzhou tomorrow. Can Wen Ruo have any strategies to teach me?"

This was not a test, but he knew that his two brothers were arrogant and arrogant, which gave Xun Yu an opportunity to show off his talents.

Obviously, the two people had already completed the recognition ceremony when they met outside the door.

Xun Yu nodded slightly and then said slowly: "As far as I know, Ding Yuan, the governor of Taiyuan, is quite prestigious in Bingzhou. If the lord wants to control Bingzhou, he will definitely not be able to bypass this person."

Guo Jiashen believed that although according to the original process, the governor of Bingzhou during this period should be Zhang Yi, this person actually did not make any waves in Bingzhou.

The dignified governor of Yizhou was attacked and killed by the barbarians, and then Ding Yuan came to power.

Guo Jia has doubts about this. Is Bingzhou Langqi so unbearable?

Just listen to Xun Yu continue: "So I think that my lord can try to win over the generals of Bingzhou and divide Dingyuan."

Liu Bei hesitated: "Will they respect my orders?"

Xun Yu smiled and said: "I will definitely do it! Because my lord is an orthodox state shepherd conferred by the Han Dynasty, and he is also a member of the royal family. Any knowledgeable person will definitely not be an enemy of my lord."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but interjected: "Is it that simple?"

He felt that if things went so smoothly now, Xun Yu would not be so serious.

"Of course not." Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Ding Yuan will not sit still and wait for death. Furthermore, who he wants to win over needs to be carefully considered to avoid being restrained by him in turn."

Guan Yu pondered: "Sir, if you are so sure, then Ding Yuan will definitely oppose my elder brother?"

Xun Yu did not answer this question, but looked at Guo Jia with a smile.

Guo Jia looked at Liu Bei and said jokingly: "If someone takes the position of Bingzhou Shepherd that belongs to the lord at this time, the lord will surely feel uncomfortable, right?"

Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged: "Of course, but I don't hate this person."

"But not everyone is as benevolent and open-minded as my lord." Mi Zhu spoke.

Maybe he felt that everyone had spoken enthusiastically, and if he did nothing, he would appear to have a low sense of presence, and at the same time, he would flatter him a little.

Xun Yu asked in confusion: "Who is this?"

"My name is Mi Zhu, named Zizhong. I am a merchant from Xuzhou. I am serving under the command of Ambassador Liu."

Although he appeared to be neither humble nor arrogant on the outside, Mi Zhu was still a little uneasy in his heart. After all, apart from having more money, he was not as good as Guo Jia and Xun Yu, two sons of the aristocratic family in all other aspects.

This was an era of imperial power and aristocratic families. Although his family was extremely wealthy, his status was completely different from that of his aristocratic family.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and then asked: "But the Mi family of Xuzhou?"

Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "I dare not take the name of the clan."

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Zizhong, don't belittle yourself. My lord will have your full support in the future."

After speaking, he looked at Guo Jia, his eyes conveying a meaning: You have thought very carefully.

The people of Bingzhou are fierce and fierce, and the cavalry of Bingzhou are even better at fighting.

But without the support of money and food, it would be difficult to support too many troops, and Mi Zhu's existence just made up for this.

Mi Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these two colleagues were not like other children from aristocratic families who looked down on businessmen.

Because of his status, he had been trying to enter the officialdom. The person he had previously considered was Tao Qian, but unexpectedly Liu Bei suddenly appeared.

Now it seems that he made the right decision.

A Bingzhou shepherd with the title of royal relative has far more potential than the already old Tao Qian.

Guo Jia spread his hands and said, "Mi Zizhong's matter has nothing to do with me. It's my lord's foresight."

Xun Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said sincerely: "My lord is wise."

If it was a peaceful and prosperous time, the support of merchants would not be so important. But now that chaos is gradually emerging in the world, the importance of merchants is self-evident.

The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

In terms of money alone, the aristocratic family is not even as good as the Mi family and the Zhen family, who are extremely wealthy businessmen.

The advantage of aristocratic families lies in their land, the intricate network of official relationships, and the books used for enlightenment.
