Chapter 82
Yuan Tan had no idea who it was when someone came looking for him in the middle of the night.
It was even more unexpected that this person was called Guo Jia.
It is impossible for him not to know who Guo Jia is.
Excited, very excited, very excited.
You must know that Yuan Tan now has strong generals like Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, and counselors like Guo Tu and Chen Lin, but what he lacks most is a military adviser who can sweep the world.
And Guo Jia is such a military adviser.
"Mr. Guo, your surname is also Guo, and Guo Jia's surname is also Guo. It seems that you are both from Yingchuan. Are you from the same clan?" Yuan Tan asked happily.
"This..." Guo Tu didn't intend to admit that he knew Guo Jia, but after thinking about it, Guo Jia has lived in his home for so long, and this paper can't contain the anger. So he changed his tune and pretended to be dumb and said, "Guo Jia is back again?"
"Back again?" Yuan Tan heard something was going on inside.
Guo Tu got up immediately and told about some things that happened during Yuan Tan's absence.
"Guo Fengxiao's evaluation of Yuan Gong is so excessive, and his subordinates quite disagree." Guo Tu finally expressed his dissatisfaction with Guo Jia's words and deeds.
Yuan Tan nodded, everyone thought he agreed with Guo Tu's words. In fact, he agrees with Guo Jia's analysis of Yuan Shao. His father is good in every way, but he is always hesitant when doing big things.
"What does he think of me?" Yuan Tan asked.
"this……."
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, you don't need to say anything."
Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Tan was excited besides being excited at this moment, and couldn't help rubbing his hands. It seems that the effect of killing Dong Zhuo by himself is becoming more prominent. If the previous decadent image is still there, will the first counselor in Zhongyuan come to see him?
A good horse doesn't turn back, it's because he is not good.
Yuan Tan thought about it, Guo Jia is now a humble scholar who is struggling to find the Ming Lord everywhere. I can't greet him too excitedly, otherwise, I will lower my strength.
Instead, we should evaluate and make things difficult for this Guo Jia, so that we can use it for ourselves.
So he suppressed his excitement, and said lightly: "Dian Wei, you go and tell that Guo Jia. I shouldn't have seen him at this late hour. But I only saw him when he came all the way. You Tell him, just give him time for a cup of tea."
"Here." Dian Wei turned around and left.
Guo Tu and Chen Lin glanced at each other, and immediately felt that this eldest son of his was more and more elegant, and this move did not lose his bearing, but also reflected generosity and status.
The eldest son can also play tricks...
Outside.
"Guo Fengxiao, you only have time for a cup of tea, so think about what to say. But don't worry, my son is approachable and will not despise you just because of your background." Dian Wei led the way. Perhaps because of his huge size, he cared very much for this young man who was twice his size.
Ever since the news that Yuan Tan was killing the national traitor came, Zhang Liao Dian Wei's prestige has also risen with the tide. Guo Jia knew that Yuan Tan knew how to employ people, so he was not worried that he would not be reused because of his bad background.
But I was a little flustered about the time for only one cup of tea. How to start, how to plan and discuss, can make full use of time?
As he entered the hall,
Guo Tu and Chen Lin had already avoided it first.
"I'm Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, I've met the eldest son." Guo Jia clasped his fists and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing.
It was the first time in Yuan Tan's life that he met the famous counselor Guo Jia. In terms of historical fame, this man was even greater than Tian Feng Jushou.
This is a handsome young man in his early twenties. The Hanfu is very worn out, with a lot of pudding, and the hair is just a simple bamboo crown.
It was the man in front of him who laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify the north. It was also because of this person's untimely death that Cao Cao was unable to cross the Yangtze River all his life.
In fact, Yuan Tan's heartbeat was more than a hundred beats, but he still took a sip from the teacup leisurely, and then said: "Guo Fengxiao, right? To make a long story short, why did you come to me?"
Guo Jia's heartbeat also started to speed up, and he sorted out his thoughts quickly, "Traveling in the downstream, visiting the elders everywhere to learn... Hearing about the grand master's feats, I was really shocked. Therefore, I want to hear the elder master's views on the current situation. Come on, and invite Eldest Prince Haihan."
These words are still very decent.
Yuan Tan couldn't always maintain a high and proud posture, so he said, "I don't know what your opinion is on the current situation?"
Guo Jia knew that there was a huge disparity in status between himself and the person in front of him, so he knew that he would ask back a long time ago, and he was prepared, so he said immediately:
"Nowadays the world is in chaos, and the princes are attacking each other. Your father, as the descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince, not only did not try to persuade him to make peace, but also secretly prepared to attack Jizhou Mu Han Fu. Attacking Zhou Mu with the eunuch is an offense above. It caused chaos in the world."
"..." Yuan Tan.
"Presumptuous!" After being stunned for a moment, he was furious, and charged at the case, "My father has always been generous to others. In the past, when Dong Zhuo was abolished, only my father drew his sword and fought hard. Leading the heroes in the front to crusade against the national traitors, and relying on virtue everywhere, are you a scholar? Make unreasonable comments?"
Yuan Tan didn't expect Guo Jia to say such a thing, so he was really angry, but he also knew that this person would definitely not come to say such nonsense for no reason.
In history, counselors are divided into four levels, seeking self, seeking others, seeking soldiers, and seeking the country.
As the number one counselor in the Central Plains, Guo Jia is the top one. He must have seen the chaos in the world and came out to assist Mingjun to unify the world. He ran around here and there, he must be investigating who has the most potential among the princes from all walks of life.
Of course the Yuan family has the most potential at present, but from what Guo Tu said, it is clear that Guo Jia is optimistic about the power of the Yuan family, but not Yuan Shao.
"I'm just discussing the facts, and please forgive me, my lord." Guo Jia felt ashamed at the moment, and felt that the words were too serious. It seemed that even though they had prepared well before coming, it was still too much time for them to discuss the matter with only a cup of tea.
Only then did Yuan Tan calm down, and sat down and said, "Guo Jia, you are just making a pedantic statement. Didn't you ask me my opinion on the current situation? I can tell you."
Lian Dao: "Back then, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it. Now the world is in chaos. It is not a single person who can change the status quo, but the general trend."
"I came back all the way from Chang'an. Yuzhou and Yanzhou were in a mess. Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Cao Cao and others annexed each other. The other princes have already taken action. Whoever messes up first will follow up. It is useless to say these things .”
"My father intends to attack Jizhou. Obviously, he has his own ideas. Now that the world is in chaos, why wait for others to come over. Why don't you take the initiative to calm down the troubled times and give peace to the people?"
When Yuan Tan said this, he got up and said: "The members of the princes are mixed, there are guard dogs, there are bones in the grave, there are hypocrisy and righteousness, and there are brutal hegemony. For the peace of the world, the suffering of the people, it is unreasonable to entrust other princes. Practical. Use your own benevolence, wisdom, etiquette and faith to spread to the world, this is the real truth."
He didn't even realize that his words were full of heroism.
"Guo Jia, what do you think?"
Guo Jia didn't say a word for a long time, it seemed that he was digesting Yuan Tan's words.
He never expected that the eldest son in front of him would have such a clear and unique view of the overall situation in this troubled world, and he could see many aspects more thoroughly than he did.
Yuan Tan is very nervous at this moment, will the young man in front of him join him, and how will he make suggestions in the future?
The time is passing by every minute and every second.
Gradually, Yuan Tan no longer felt nervous when he saw Guo Jia for the first time, but became murderous instead.
