Chapter 78 A slap

Yang Hong came to the envoy, but Guo Jia was unexpected.

Yang Hong, who came to Chang'an from Yangzhou, visited Guo Jia, walked into the hall with joy, looked at Guo Jia from afar, and cheered, "Eunuch, great joy, great joy."

Guo Jia was confused and smiled like a playful smile.

Yuan Shu's messenger came to congratulate him.

Are you congratulating him on guarding Guanzhong? It’s not like it, it’s impossible.

When Yang Hong saw Ma Teng in the hall, he didn't care about it. He only thought he was a member of Guo Jia. Anyway, there were so many people he didn't know.

"Oh? Where does the joy come from?"

Guo Jia tilted his head slightly and waited for the following article.

Yang Hong laughed from beginning to end. After sorting out his emotions a little, Yang Hong took out a document from his sleeve and looked at the surface. It seemed familiar, and it should be an imperial edict.

"Encourt, my lord, oh, no, Your Majesty specially ordered me to congratulate the envoy. The envoy was powerful and killed the rebels Yuan Shao and Cao cào and failed to form an army and showed their power all over the world. Your Majesty has issued an order to grant the envoy the envoy the general and the king of Guanxi."

Puchi

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing.

Ma Teng was already angry. If it weren't for Guo Jia's territory, he would have drawn his sword and cut Yang Hong.

General, King of Guanxi.

It sounds famous all over the world, and it is simply an unimaginable honor.

Yuan Shu really dared to send someone to win over Guo Jia.

Tsk tsk.

Guo Jia laughed loudly, and Yuan Shu used marriage to win over Lu Bu. Seeing that he was successful, he was blocked by Chen Gong halfway and failed.

Nowadays, Yuan Shu, let alone Guo Jia’s position and power, may not even be able to give him glory and wealth.

He founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor at Shouchun, established hundreds of officials, and built large-scale construction, which consumed countless money and food...

"Xu Chu."

Guo Jia smiled and called softly.

In Chang'an, several generals took turns to take charge of Guo Jia's personal safety. Today, Xu Chu happened to be waiting outside Mén.

Xu Chu entered the hall and waited for the order.

"Put this person down and chop it down. Yuan Shu killed all the people together."

Guo Jia tried his best to suppress his laughter while giving orders.

joke

At this time, even Sun Ce, who Yuan Shu regarded as his son, raised a banner to oppose Yuan Shu. Not to mention Yuan Shu's imperial title, even Liu Xie's imperial title Guo Jia was not uncommon.

After hearing Guo Jia's order, Xu Chu acted immediately.

Ma Teng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was a Han minister, he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu was the one he hated to the core. Guo Jia made clear position at this time, which made Ma Teng feel very relieved.

Yang Hong had a relationship with Guo Jia before. That time, Yuan Shu attacked Jingzhou and wanted Guo Jia to be cannon fodder. Yang Hong was one of the envoys. He thought that even if Guo Jia did not accept the olive branch sent by Yuan Shu, he could at least end up harmoniously. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia ordered the killing so lightly.

"Encourt, eunuch, ah, please spare your life..."

No matter how Yang Hong begs for mercy, he can only accept the fate of being dragged out by Xu Chu.

After the lights went out, Yang Hong's voice disappeared, Guo Jia finally suppressed his laughter, looked at Ma Teng, and said, "Your brother Lao Shoucheng will take it to Cao cào in Yang Hong's head."

Ma Teng naturally would not refuse.

The relationship between Guo Jia and Ma Teng is a friend who falls in a chance meeting with a little bit of a good time. It is neither deep nor shallow. It is neither stranger nor close to brothers. It respects each other and stops when it hits.

Ma Teng and his family went to Xudu and passed by Chang'an to say hello to Guo Jia, which was to do a good job. No matter what, his son Ma Chao might have to fight with Guo Jia in the future. It would be better to have a good relationship than the deterioration of the relationship.

After saying goodbye to Ma Teng, Guo Jia stabilized the situation in Chang'an and prepared to return to Chengdu.

However, there was a news that was very unfavorable to Guo Jia from Xudu.

Cao cào submitted a letter to the emperor, counting Guo Jia's great achievements after the uprising, destroying Liu Yan, sweeping Li Jue and Guo Si, resetting people's livelihood, managing well, etc.

Then, Cao cào asked the emperor to grant Guo Jia the title of Duke

The king, duke, marquis, and Cao cào asked the emperor to grant Guo Jia the title of duke, not marquis or monarch.

Emperor Gaozu of Han issued an order to be called king without being a king in another surname

Since then, only one person was named Duke of the Han Dynasty

Wang Mang

There is a difference between this Duke and the Third Duke. The Duke has no fief, he is an official, the Duke has a fief, and he is a prince.

There are many princes in the world who are real and nameless.

But if you really want to be the princes in your political status, no one dares

Cao cào submitted that the emperor had promoted Guo Jia to the title, which was abnormal. However, the title of Guo Jia as Duke can no longer be described as hidden murderous intentions. This is a praising and killing that everyone knows.

It is to push Guo Jia to the position of being side by side with Wang Mang.

The ministers of Xudu court were angry and made generous speeches. Even if they lived under Cao cào's knife, they would stand up and refute Cao cào now.

No one would object to Guo Jia’s title of marquis, but if Guo Jia’s title of marquis is to be granted marquis, it would definitely not work.

Xu Chu's court changed suddenly, and it seemed that Cao cào and his ministers were having a fierce dispute.

Guo Jia sneered after learning the news.

Cao cào's wrist is indeed extraordinary.

This play is another trick to divert attention.

Now the Xudu court must have scolded Guo Jia and opposed Guo Jia. On the contrary, it has stabilized Cao cào's unfavorable situation after defeating Guanzhong.

Those officials who were in corpse and were simply a bag of wine. The more they opposed it, the happier they were.

Guo Jia saw through this at a glance.

But he had no choice but to use stillness to control himself.

Cao cào took the emperor to command the princes, had political advantages and could guide the political trend. Guo Jia, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes were all passive. At this time, Guo Jia was pushed to the forefront by Cao cào. ​​As long as Guo Jia was not proud of his ability after the war and really wanted to compete for an illusory title, he would not be affected in substance.

Cao cào was performing a farce. If Guo Jia cooperated with Cao cào, he would become a clown, which was exactly what Cao cào wanted.

Guo Jiawen didn't ask why the court made trouble.

Guo Jia had foreseeed the result of the farce and left it alone.

With this transition, Cao cào can not only easily take the opportunity to eliminate the negative impact of Guo Jia's previous rumors, but also make Xu Du, civil and military officials forget the shadow of the defeat in Guanzhong.

"Dog thief, old jiān is very cunning."

Guo Jia, who was riding on the horse and returning to Chengdu, cursed angrily.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, but his eyes were full of smiles.

If Cao was not the talented and wise Cao, or the heroic Cao, then Guo Jia would be very regretful.

Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, and Pang Tong were left in Chang'an by Guo Jia. He brought Jia Xu, Xu Chu Dian and Wei Gaoshun back to Chengdu, while Gan Ning and Zhang Liao stayed in Guanzhong.

Yuan Shao failed in Guanzhong and was the first to be hit after returning to Hebei. He was stabilizing the situation in Hebei. The rumors about the establishment of Yuan Xi as the crown prince were self-defeating, and Yuan Xi's dream of yellow and Liang was about to wake up.

In Hebei, Yuan Shao seized the time to wipe out Gongsun Zan and ordered the recruitment of troops to do his best to recruit soldiers

In order to perform his merits in front of Yuan Shao, the three sons showed their capabilities in the recruitment project and recruited soldiers in a large manner, completely ignoring whether the money, grain and income could be borne. In a short time, Yuan Shao once again pulled more than 700,000 troops from the four prefectures of Hebei.

There are too many new recruits, without years of training and years of baptism, Yuan Shao sounds like many soldiers, but his combat power is difficult to be optimistic. At the same time, the huge military expenditure has caused Hebei's finances to decline, and Hebei, which has abundant food and supplies, gradually becomes tense.

Last year, Chuntian sent troops from Chengdu to advance to Guanzhong and returned to Chengdu after more than a year. Guo Jia returned to Chengdu after winning consecutive battles, exterminated Li Jue and Guo Si, defeated Yuan Shao and Cao cào. ​​This battle result is definitely a great achievement.

Chengdu welcomed Guo Jia very imposingly, and all civil and military officials were present. Qin Mi, Zhang Song, Zhen Yao and others welcomed Guo Jia back with smiles.

He brought his troops to Chengdu North Mén. Guo Jia turned over and got off the horse. Facing Qin Mi who came forward to speak, Guo Jia raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't say flattery. I'm tired of hearing it, so I'd better go into the city as soon as possible."

Qin Mi smiled bitterly. He was indeed planning to praise Guo Jia. The road was beating and gongs and drums, and the lively people dispersed one after another under Guo Jia's instruction.

Guo Jia led his way to his home and talked to Qin Mi, Peng Yi and others about the people's livelihood in Yizhou for nearly a year. Every month, he sent Yizhou documents to Chang'an for him to review, and now he is just asking casually.

Anyway, they have to block their mouths that they want to flatter.

As soon as he arrived at home, Guo Jia felt something was wrong since he entered the city.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at Qin Mi suspiciously, and asked, "Where has Zhicai been? Could it be that he is plagued by official duties?"

Guo Jia succeeded in triumph, and there was no reason for the Xi Zhicai to be welcomed.

This is not that Guo Jia feels good about himself and thinks that the entire Yizhou should come to welcome him, but that as a minister, the opera ambition is not important and will not be out of the scene.

Qin Mi, Zhen Yao, Zhen Yan, Peng Yi, Zhang Song, Fei Shi and others all looked difficult to talk about, and seemed to have no idea how to mention this matter to Guo Jia.

It’s still Xiao Ren knows Guo Jia, and he doesn’t matter in detail. No matter whether it’s troubles or not, it’s best not to hide it.
