Chapter 851 Feng Xiao Has Great Talent

Before the verification, outsiders are not allowed to move around freely.

However, the construction of the post house is good, and the decoration is also very elegant. There is even a pavilion on the top floor of the post house where you can see the sea.

Guo Jia did nothing. He sat under the pavilion on the roof of the post house every day, enjoying the cool breeze, reading the free Wenchang newspaper one by one, and staring into the distance from time to time.

In fact, the area around the post house is still quite lively, with wine and food stores, bookstores, stationery stores, tailor shops, etc., but Guo Jia only went to the bookstore to look at the books, and didn't look at the others. The reason is very simple. He has no money. He has spent all his money on the way north. The donkey is also an old friend, and he can't bear to sell it. Although the bookstore can read books for free, when he heard that Wenchang Pavilion has more books and anyone can read books, after experiencing the novelty of books, he has no interest.

He knew that "paper" was the papermaking technique of Marquis Cai, which was improved and developed by the general, and became what it is today. The general's people respected Marquis Cai very much. There was a portrait of Marquis Cai in Wenchang Pavilion, and it was even heard that a statue would be built to commemorate him. However, this was still under discussion in Wenchang Pavilion, but it would definitely be built.

After all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. He had already inquired clearly that anyone who came to seek refuge, whether it was refugees, scholars, knights, or celebrities, would be accepted. Even if General Wang did not know the real person, he did not plan to leave, because the general's rule was really good. Whether it was life or culture, there were even a large number of doctors, and there were two great doctors, Hua Tuo and the general. Children could also go to school and study the direction they were interested in.

Even if Guo Jia did not understand the selling point of real estate two thousand years later, he knew that this was a good place. It had developed commerce, good medical conditions, good educational resources, and abundant material resources, especially in an era like the present. If Tuhe City really opened up real estate transactions, by analogy to two thousand years later, even the housing prices in Beijing could not match it.

Guo Jia looked at the sea view in the distance and felt the prosperity.

The inn was built large and high, as if it was intentional. On the roof, in addition to Wenchang Pavilion, many places in Tuhe City can be seen.

He can see the docks on the seashore in the distance, the navy swimming in the sea, and the huge warships sailing in the harbor. He saw the bustle in the market, the busyness between the fields, the children playing between the fields, and even the boys and girls who were practicing martial arts with the police officers in several schools. He can also see the officials walking around and the soldiers guarding various places in Tuhe City.

In the prosperity and tranquility, there is a kind of order.

He really couldn't imagine how the legendary rebel who was born in the countryside, joined the Yellow Turbans, suffered a defeat, and then gathered the remaining troops, plundered the people of Youzhou, and slaughtered officials, nobles, and wealthy families, could have such ability to rule the world.

Before coming, he wanted to see if Wang Yan was a wise leader. Although he was very confident, after coming here, he felt that it was time to ask Wang Yan to see if he could get into Wang Yan's eyes.

But he didn't care. After coming here, he thought that as long as Wang Yan didn't make mistakes, even if he couldn't get the whole world, at least he had the foundation to rule half of the world by dividing the river. Even if there was an accident in the middle, it would be no problem to ensure the foundation of Liaodong.

He heard that the only place to use troops now was the grassland. If the northern barbarians were swept away, then Wang Liaodong would be the biggest barbarian, with 100,000 armored soldiers. For a long time, the Han area was unable to conquer. If they could drive Wang Yan back to Liaodong, they would be awesome.

It was also with this understanding that he decided to stay here regardless of whether Wang Yan valued him or not. He could be a civilian official, and if he was lucky, he could be promoted to the government, he could be a teacher, or even study in Wenchang Pavilion, or join the military governor's office and do military logistics work. He was confident that he could do all these.

The main reason was that after seeing the rule of General Wang, he had no intention of assisting others to fight against General Wang. This kind of vibrant scene, just looking at it, and then thinking about fighting against such a force, how desperate it would be.

The main source of despair lies in the indestructible people's hearts. He believes that whoever destroys the good life of those people will inevitably be hit by the crazy attack of these people, and the fight will not stop until death...

With a settled mind, although he has no money to enjoy, Guo Jia has also settled down, not anxious or impatient, and has a plan in mind.

Five days passed like this. On the morning of the sixth day, a staff member of the post station found him: "Sir, after breakfast, follow me into the city and go to the general's mansion to meet the general. The general is a friendly person, sir, don't panic, just be normal."

There are really no ordinary people coming and going in the Tuhe Post Station. Either rich people who are traveling for business, or scholars who come to surrender, so the servants all call him sir, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

"Thank you for telling me." Guo Jia bowed.

The servant smiled and replied: "No need to thank me, this is my duty."

After that, the servant left here to inform other scholars.

Recently, the Central Plains has been in turmoil and the situation is unclear. More and more scholars have come to Liaodong, so it is still quite busy.

After breakfast, at Chenshi, which is a little after eight o'clock, Guo Jia, along with the staff of the post station and other scholars who want to see General Wang, entered Tuhe City and went straight to the general's mansion.

No one is surprised, Chenshi is the time when officials start working every day, and the general's mansion will only handle affairs at this time.

Guo Jia was waiting with the scholars in the side hall. There were fried green tea, some pastries, and the latest Wenchang Newspaper, as well as the Military and Political Counselor's Newspaper of the General Mansion, which was not in the newspaper and could only be seen by officials. It records what happened within the territory, commending officials in a certain place, praising a certain sergeant, etc., as well as some progress in internal affairs, of course, dealing with officials involved in corruption within the territory, and the general's encouragement to military and political officials. , words of warning.

What Guo Jia saw was very novel. This was something he had never been exposed to before. He had never heard of it before. When I look at it now, I think of the beauty of this newspaper. Because there are many government orders and various detailed rules above, they have a strong regulatory effect on the misinterpretation of government orders at the middle level, and they can be uploaded and distributed. Unless everything in a place is terrible, it is impossible to hide it. General.

In addition, it also broadens the horizons of grassroots officials and gives them the opportunity to see problems at the highest level, which is also very important for grassroots officials.

He was immersed in the information reported by the counselor, silently analyzing the intentions of various matters, unaware of the changes around him. One by one, the scholars left, and in the end he was the only one left.

"Sir, sir? Please come with me." The guard gently patted Guo Jia, who was immersed in the message, and called him back to his senses.

Guo Jia looked around and saw that he was the last one left. He smiled apologetically at the guard, got up and followed him out of the side hall, walked through the spacious corridor, and arrived at the large study room of the General's Mansion. The personal guard said that this was the place where the general managed government affairs and studied, and it was also the place where the general spent the longest time every day.

After seeing Guo Jia off to the door, the guard made a gesture of invitation and stood at the door, no longer moving forward.

Of course Guo Jia is not nervous. He has figured out the future path. It is better to reuse the general. Regardless of not reusing him, he can live well in Liaodong anyway. As for realizing his value ideal of helping others strive for hegemony, that is already No more.

So he walked straight in and saw the Lord of Liaodong, the second largest rebel in the world, sitting in front of the French window to the north.

Seeing that the general was dressed casually and showed no dignity, Guo Jia was even more relieved. Because it is not a good thing for a hero who was born in the capital of Guizhou and built a huge fortune to learn the etiquette of scholars.

With this in mind, he stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Yingchuan Guo Jia, pay homage to the general."

Wang Yan didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking, but he actually knew the so-called etiquette. As for why I'm wearing single clothes now, of course it's because it's hot. It's not that he's disrespectful, he just does it on the basis of his comfort. It was impossible for him to wear three layers of clothes, boots and a crown on such a hot day. Just like the group of scholars in Wenchang Pavilion, they are already hot, so if they wear less clothes, it will be over. They have to dress up meticulously every day.

This kind of persistence is correct, but Wang Yan thinks it is unnecessary to persist on this surface. But he didn't say anything. Today's scholars are not rotten scholars. No matter how they dress, it's not his turn to preach. Who knows what he likes.

Looking at Guo Jia in front of him, the general smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite because of your filial piety. Sit down and talk."

Guo Jia thanked him again and sat down across from him.

"Why did you come to vote for Fengxiao?" Wang Yan said the same thing every time he spoke.

"The Han Dynasty existed in name only. The emperor had no authority. How could he advance to seize power? Dong Zhuo later brought chaos to the country. Now eighteen princes are attacking Dong. Everyone says that the eighteen princes are loyal to the Han Dynasty. Jia thinks otherwise. Although there are three armies, With one hundred thousand, Dong Zhuo was invincible, Guan Yu slashed Hua Xiong with his sword, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought fiercely against Lu Bu, which spread throughout the world. However, the princes had different ideas, and they would fight for power and gain, and blame each other. Zhuo could be defeated, but Zhuo could not be destroyed.

I predict that Dong Zhuo will take the emperor and move west to Chang'an. If the princes are not convinced, the battle will be ineffective. If Dong Zhuo goes west, the coalition forces will disperse. At that time, when the princes returned to their respective territories, they would inevitably attack and conquer each other in order to become emperors.

Last winter, I heard that the general knew that Liu Hong had died, and He Jin took power and marched into Linyu. I also heard that the general had leveled 500 miles of grassland in Xixi for two years. After the autumn, he marched thousands of miles to conquer Guangning, and went down to Juyong. And picture the land of Youzhou. The grassland is flat and the grain road is accessible. You can also go out from Guangning and go down to Pingcheng (Datong) to avoid the danger of Yanmen. You can draw Bingzhou and Liangzhou in the north and look at Guanzhong in the south.

In this way, Linyu, Juyong, and Yanmen all sent their armies together, and the land of Hebei was within easy reach, and the general's hegemony was completed. With the general's ability to govern the world, he will cultivate steadily for five years, accumulate grain and grass, organize and train the army, and cross the river to go south. The general will be in charge of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Although Jia was young and weak, he had studied essays at the age of four, read a lot of books, traveled to various places, and claimed to have mastered the art of slaying dragons. If the general does not give up, Jia Yuan will work hard to make plans for the general's family and help the general achieve great things. "

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

What this boy meant was very simple. He had heard about his name, General Wang, and his actions. He thought that the timing was good, the place he sent troops to occupy was good, and he was a capable person. Because I looked up to him, I came to work as his subordinate. These words showed his own strategic vision and even made a small prophecy.

Dong Zhuo's westward move to Chang'an should have been carried out by now. Luoyang has been burned, and Sun Jian has also obtained the imperial seal. At this time, he may have fled to fight with Liu Biao, but the news has not yet spread.

Even the rebels on his side haven't received the news yet. Guo Jia led the donkey all the way north, from just thawing to the current summer, it is even more impossible to know. Therefore, Guo Jia was very prophetic and correctly predicted Dong Zhuo's response strategy.

And relatively speaking, Guo Jia's information channels are limited. In this situation, he made this judgment based on the eighteenth princes' fight against Dong, the battle situation at Hulao Pass, and his understanding of Dong Zhuo's side. This is quite valid. Strategic vision.

As for the battle between Liu Guan and Zhang Lu Bu that Guo Jia was talking about, the news has already spread. At that time, Gongsun Zan introduced Liu Guan and Zhang. Presumably, he said that the three of them were people who fought under Lingzhi City in the fierce battle against the Liaodong king's bandits.

But this time, Guan Yu was able to kill Hua Xiong with a warm wine, and Lu Bu was invincible in a single fight. Only the three of Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought together to suppress Lu Bu, which also made people re-recognize General Wang's combat effectiveness. The legend before love was not that Mrs. Zhen was bragging to Wang Yan, but that Wang Yan was indeed an invincible general.

Lu Bu killed the princes and generals like he killed chickens. What would happen if Wang Yan came over? This is a problem that everyone faces for the first time.

But most of them were just thinking about it. Wu Yong did not decide the issue, and Chu Bawang was also fierce. Wasn't he also beaten by Liu Bang so shamelessly that he committed suicide in Wujiang River when he saw Jiangdong's elders...

Guo Jia did not appear now, but waited until the princes dispersed and returned to their respective homes. He went to see Yuan Shao. But as we all know, Yuan Benchu ​​was always scheming, and it was difficult for him to do so for long. Guo Jia saw this, and Yuan Shao didn't pay much attention to him, so he returned to his hometown and stayed for a few years.

It wasn't until Cao Cao's counselor Xi Zhicai died of illness that Xun Yu promoted Guo Jia to Cao Cao and served as Cao Cao's counselor. He contributed many strategies. The most famous one was his theory of ten victories and ten defeats against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Be praised by others.

Now that Guo Jia has come to serve under General Wang, he will definitely have an impact on Lao Cao, but it is not as big as imagined. Because Cao Cao has a lot of talents under his command, and he himself is quite capable. The wheel of history is rolling forward. As long as the opportunity comes, no one can be missing.

Of course, this does not apply to the Communist Party. To use a cliché, it means it has a historical mission. There is no doubt about this, because the Communist Party has repeatedly made the impossible possible, survived many times of death, grown and liberated China. For example, the most famous crossing of Chishui River, that kind of dead situation, absolutely no one can turn the tide...

Wang Yan recognized Guo Jia's strategic vision, because that was exactly how he arranged it.

But again, he is just guarding the key places to keep the frontier and slowly encroaching, not the land that determines Hebei in one battle, which the current Liaodong cannot digest. Having acquired so much territory, population, resources, and military strength that cannot keep up, it is not strengthening, but weakening.

"Fengxiao is indeed a man of great talent. What you said is exactly what I thought. But if three armies come out to fight in Hebei, it cannot be achieved in one battle. It is all because of our abundant people and the sudden increase in population. The old The people are bound to be exhausted. When I started the army, I said that I would teach the people to eat three meals a day, including meat, and that they would be educated and their illnesses would be cured. However, after five years of hard work, I could only make the people eat thick porridge twice a day. , eating dry rice in the evening, if it is not the advantage of being close to the sea, and the income from catching seafood, eating meat is just empty talk.

Therefore, my intention is to take care of the world slowly, to be steady and down-to-earth. Even if the old people can no longer be rich, they will never be poor again. This is the heart of the people under my rule and cannot be shaken. "

Guo Jia nodded in support: "The general is highly righteous and actually seeks prosperity and strength for the people, which is a blessing to the people."

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Since Fengxiao is here, he has far-sightedness and a great strategy. I will definitely use him. There are two things, military and political. What does Fengxiao want to do?"

Guo Jia was very sensible. He stood up to salute and bowed deeply: "But it depends on the general's arrangement."

"I know that filial piety is a great talent, but it lacks practicality. I want to be the chief of a pavilion in Tuhe and communicate more with the people. The officials under my rule are not to 'control the people'. The people are not cattle, horses, dogs and sheep, so why control them?" My officials are "for the people". The soldiers come from the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. The people are the first priority. I will serve as the pavilion chief for half a year, and I will work for me in the general's mansion. You said before. Guan and Zhang, Liu among them is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

He was a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. The year before last, Zhang Chungong was promoted to Anxi County Lieutenant. At that time, the governor was seeking merit in the examination and asked for money. Xuande whipped the governor and left with his seal. Fearing that he would be punished, he came to Liaodong to seek refuge with me. Like you, he first became the chief of the pavilion, and then became an employee. "

"Oh?" Guo Jia was very surprised and said, "Looking at his behavior, he is a man with great ambitions, and he also helps each other. The general knows people well, but he doesn't recruit them? If he doesn't recruit, why does the general have such a high position? He knew very well that the general was false and that if he succeeded, he would be in serious trouble. If he didn't surrender, why didn't the general kill him and instead taught his three brothers to go south? "

Guo Jia is also a ruthless person, but of course the important thing is his youth. This guy had many friends with rangers in his early years and was very knowledgeable, but he could be considered a mixed bag of society. After all, a ranger is a hooligan to a certain extent. This hooligan is not a noun referring to a person without a house or land, but an adjective two thousand years later. So it's not surprising that he would kill if he didn't surrender.

Even if I insist on praising him, Guo Jia's words also show that he is thoughtful, foresighted and cautious. Because I felt that if Liu Bei could succeed, he would have to kill him first. It would be strange if this was not careful, cautious, and foresighted.

"Following filial piety also means knowing people well. I also think that Liu Xuande has a heroic spirit, and he can conquer people who are good at fighting in Guanzhang. In the grassland war, there are two of them as generals."

Wang Yan laughed, first praised Guo Jia, and then said, "The struggle for hegemony in the world is indeed about killing, but the focus is more on it. I once recruited Liu Bei, but I am a traitor. He is a Han man, how can I do anything? ? I see that he has a kind heart and is kind to the people, so I make him the chief of the pavilion, go deep into the people, and make the people work for me, in order to make them know that I am strong.

Since he has left Liaodong, he knows my strength and weakness, and will not establish a business with the north, but will go south to plan. If he really succeeds, I know him and he knows my strength. When my army is at the gates of the city, he will not resist in vain, but will lead the people to surrender. Moreover, he is also deeply influenced by Liaodong, and he will definitely treat the people kindly. The people under his rule can live in peace, which is also what I wish. "

"General, you have a good idea." Guo Jia bowed his hands to support him. Of course, he did not expect that General Wang thought so far, and his methods were even more wild. How much confidence does he have in himself to train a person and send him to the south to fight for hegemony?

"Where is Fengxiao's family?"

"My parents died early, and Jia has never married, and I am still alone."

"Since this is the case, I will marry you a good wife, and it is a big deal to pass on the family line. What's more, the most lacking population in my rule is population. As many people as there are, I will send a large army to occupy as much land. ”

Seeing Guo Jia nod and thank him, Wang Yan said: "I see that you are weak and weak. Stretch out your hand, I will take your pulse and prescribe some tonic medicine for you."

"Thank you, General." Guo Jia quickly stretched out his hand. He was afraid that he would get sick. The genius doctor was in front of him, so he hurried to see him.

After taking his pulse, Wang Yan wrote a prescription and handed it to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, don't be afraid. It's just a minor illness. It's not a big deal. Three doses of medicine will do. Take this prescription to the clinic to get the medicine. If you don't know how to make it, you can also wait for the apprentice to make it for you.

To achieve great things, good health and longevity are the most important. You are weak and weak. After taking medicine, you must concentrate on strengthening your body. After you settle down, go to the medical school to find Hua Tuo. He is a genius doctor in Nanyang. He is now the chief doctor and medical priest under my jurisdiction. He created a method of health preservation. You can go and learn it. You must practice it every day. ”

"Thank you for your sympathy, General. "Guo Jia bowed deeply again.

This boss is so nice, and he speaks so honestly...

"Don't be polite to be filial. I was born in Guizhou, and I am a Yellow Turban rebel. Why should I care so much?" Wang Yan laughed and waved his hand, "Go now. Today we will divide the rooms and check the transmission. Tomorrow someone will find you to arrange things. Don't let me down."

Guo Jia bowed as usual, smiled embarrassedly at the general, took two steps back, and then turned around and left. His steps were much lighter...

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and then began to concentrate on handling the affairs reported to him. There are more than one million people's affairs, which are quite a lot, involving all aspects. But he only handles the general direction and defines the scope, and the rest of the people can do it.

Now he can be said to have a lot of talents under him, mainly scholars. Those who understand know that the world will be in chaos, and those who have the ability to make decisions will all run north. Of course, this refers to northerners, and there are still relatively few southerners. The main reason is that the south is still stable now , and Wang Yan can't radiate that far.

Guo Jia is talented and has a high ceiling, so he must be trained well. Regardless of civil affairs, he will be used in future wars. He will be sent to the front line to manage logistics, give advice to frontline generals, and make decisions on the spot, which can play a very strong role.

Now that the world is in chaos, Wang Yan is also thinking about who will take the initiative to join him, General Wang. After all, this is the Three Kingdoms, and they are all celebrities. They have a bunch of famous people under them to give advice and lead troops to fight. They are also light and exciting.

In particular, there is a kind of happiness of collecting...

Guo Jia left the big study and was led out of the general's mansion by the personal guards and handed over to a clerk, The clerk led him to the government office opposite.

After entering the government office, he went to the lobby to apply for a verification certificate.

As we all know, the verification certificate is an identity card and the certificate is a letter of introduction. The system of certificates was also retained under the rule of General Wang, but it was very easy to do. The common people just went to the head of the pavilion to greet him, and he would write down the reason on a printed paper and stamp it with a seal as an endorsement. The general encouraged the common people to move around more, but he did not abolish this system for the convenience of management, otherwise only one identity card would be enough.

After a period of printing by the clerk, and finally affixing the seal with force, Guo Jia got his identity card in Liaodong. Identity, he looked at it curiously.

It was a square piece of blue hard paper, which could not be bent easily and was well made. The words on it were all printed, and his subordinates could easily distinguish them. There were two sides, front and back. On the front were his name, Yingchuan native place, age, and a row of unfamiliar addresses, which should be the house he was going to live in. On the back were four big characters "unimpeded access", with the signature of General Wang and the seal of the general printed below.

As if seeing his doubts, the clerk explained: "Sir, the general supports scholars to travel around under his rule. Anyone who meets the general can travel freely in Liaodong and can go anywhere."

"What if there are spies?"

"The general said that if there are spies, but they do their job well, they can be exempted from responsibility and have a chance to correct their mistakes. If they do not do their job well, they will be sent to labor. Liaodong is bitterly cold, and they will die of hunger and cold in a winter. "

The clerk grinned, his yellow teeth were frighteningly bright.

"The general really has a broad mind."

Guo Jia was impressed by the big picture of his new boss. It didn't matter if someone died or not. The main thing was that Wang Yan didn't care about others spying on him. As long as he did his job well, it would be fine. What a great confidence.

Sure enough, he was right. With such a broad mind, he must be able to tolerate others. He is really a good boss.

After silently praising General Wang, Guo Jia followed the clerk to leave the government office and walked towards his residence. When he arrived at the place, he found that the house was not far from the general's mansion. He could feel the general's respect by looking at the location...
