Chapter 88: Light and dark sides

On one side of the battlefield, Guo Jiahuan rode a war horse past, and blood was flying from afar, and countless warriors fell down. Of course, the heroic posture of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is naturally indispensable.

"A powerful general? A good knife must have a good master."

Guo Jia didn't care about the outcome of these two people at all, or he could not think of what the ending would be for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao except for death?

No matter how powerful a general is, even the muscles and bones of iron walls cannot stop the firing of thousands of arrows.

As he was about to enter Xuzhou City, when he passed by Gao Shun and Zhang Yan, Guo Jia said lightly next to them: "No one is left. By the way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's corpses must be checked by themselves to reassure me."

After Gao Shun and Zhang Yan focused their attention, Guo Jia led his army to Xuzhou City. In the center of the battlefield not far behind him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came in lightning with arrows and rain.

In front of Gao Shun, the camp where the car hanging formation was set up was like dozens of defense lines. Before this line of defense, nearly a thousand crossbowmen and archers faced forward.

Just after passing the gate of Xuzhou City, Guo Jia vaguely heard a miserable roar behind him, paused and continued to move forward.

"Third brother."

......

When they arrived in the city, Xuzhou City was originally closed to the public and the streets were empty, but now they were taken over by the Taiping Army. As soon as Guo Jia entered the city, Xiao Ren came to him and whispered: "Lord, Liu Bei is dead and his body is buried."

People like Liu Bei may have been brought to Guo Jia with their heads and received a reward, but Xiao Ren understood Guo Jia's thoughts, so he did it very satisfied.

Walking slowly on the street, Guo Jia surrounded him with a large group of military generals and counselors. He walked aside and said to Xiao Ren: "Liu Bei has an adopted son named Liu Feng. Kill him without leaving any trace. The other descendants are kept."

Xiao Ren understood it and immediately turned around and took the people away.

Guo Ye looked at Xiao Ren's hurried back and forth, came to Guo Jia in confusion and asked, "Father, what are you going to do?"

With his hand gently on his son's shoulder, Guo Jia and him took two steps forward and set a distance from everyone behind him. Guo Jia suddenly asked, "Ye'er, do you think Mi Zhu wanted to put all his wealth on Liu Bei back then? The Zhen family also put all the wealth on his father?"

Guo Ye was shocked and replied carefully: "Is it the investment my father said before? Gambling?"

He chuckled and patted his shoulder, Guo Jia walked forward, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was just an ordinary father and son.

"Then why don't the Mi family and Zhen family recruit soldiers and horses themselves? They won't be the protagonist?"

"Because, they don't have the ability."

Guo Jia pinched his shoulder and smiled admirably.

"To be right, the political groups in the temple are called gentry. To connect irrelevant officials from all over the world and form a clan force, it takes at least decades to operate, such as the Yuan family. The large family with land wealth in the local area is called geniuses. Such families do not necessarily need to operate as a genius as a long time. Perhaps it can accumulate amazing wealth in several years. They only need to collude with the powerful and powerful, use their extreme efforts to exploit the people, and gather the wealth of most people into the hands of a few people. And when most people don't even have room to survive, then it is a sign of chaos in the world."

"land."

The process of the world from chaos to governance is essentially a resource redistribution, and the biggest resource is land.

Guo Jia took Guo Ye forward and said lightly: "Whether aristocratic or a wealthy family, whether it is political or local private forces, power and power may not be able to stand out in the world's disputes. In extraordinary times, extraordinary people need extraordinary people, such as the Mi family, Zhen family, and thousands of wealth? Let them rebel themselves, have no courage, but are unwilling to be slaughtered, waiting for warlords to clear all their property, so they have to do a gambling to ensure that the family's interests can be guaranteed in troubled times and after troubled times.

.Behind every hero who conquers the country, there are always complex forces supporting them, either direct money and grain, invisible political groups, or lower-level people. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and many others, behind them, each person does not represent himself, but represents the interests of the group of blockbusters. Ye'er, you must understand who the person behind you is, and you must ensure that whose interests are always guaranteed, then you can rule firmly."

Guo Jia's words made Guo Ye think deeply, and walked forward silently. After passing by the soldiers who were busy by his side, Guo Ye said to Guo Jia: "My Guo family started with the people and will continue."

When the bureaucratic system at the end of the Han Dynasty completely decayed, people hated the officialdom where they were in corpse and were in vain. Before the true rise of the aristocratic clans, Guo Jia promoted the imperial examinations to win the hearts of the people of the world. This is the benefit of every ordinary person. At least they have the opportunity to leap the dragon gate. Compared with Cao Wei's nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which completely suppressed ordinary people under the pyramid, the support Guo Jia received can be imagined.

One thing is something that Guo Jia has always recognized.

During the Han Dynasty, more than 90% of the talents were mastered by those gentry and wealthy families.

One thing that cannot be denied is that power cannot stop the popularization of knowledge.

Even though the progress is slow in this era, it is finally moving towards the path forward step by step.

Over the past 20 years, what Guo Jia has done is to promote and promote again.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people. Guo Jia will not use gold, silver, money and food to collect people's hearts for the time being. To consolidate his rule, he must look far. The imperial examination and selection of scholars is an unprecedented initiative of Guo Jia, and it is also a move to make future generations of scholars loyal to the Guo family.

"Ye'er, any hero who can stand on the stage of the world is the hero of the people. Cao Cao, a hero of the whole life, Yuan Shao, and four generations, three officials of the three generations are born in the world. How can there be a second Yuan Benchu ​​if others don't need thirty or fifty years? Even the uncle Liu in Xuzhou City has outstanding abilities. In a certain aspect, he is not as good as Liu Xuande as his father. This is the truth. You have to remember. The power that supports them is not enough to stand up and command the world. Because Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, etc. are all unique! Fighting for the world means eliminating these heroes and preventing the resurgence of the ashes."

Guo Ye frowned slightly. When he heard Guo Jia's last words, he felt a little confused.

Resurrection?

If heroes such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei cannot be copied, or if ordinary people are unable to surpass them, how can the ashes be rekindled?

Guo Jia still gently pressed his shoulder with his hands and walked towards Xuzhou Prefecture.

"Ye'er, as a superior, you have to do two things well. The first thing is the light and the second thing is the dark. There will always be some tricky things in front of you, and you need not to make a statement and to deal with them properly. Perhaps, this is very dirty, but you must do it. My father has ordered Xiao Ren to kill Liu Bei, and among the descendants left by Liu Bei, the descendants are still young, but the only adopted son is already an adult, and his name is Liu Feng. This is a hidden danger. He may be a banner that is manipulated to make trouble, so he asked Xiao Ren to solve him by the way."

Guo Ye immediately realized that killing all the people is indeed a one-time and for all, but excessive massacre will leave a bad reputation, which is not good for the Guo family, which requires prestige to rule the world.

Guo Jia asked Sun Quan to die, leaving the Sun family lineage, killing Liu Bei, and leaving Liu Bei's other descendants. As long as you control these people in the next decades, you can take everything into your hands.

Sun Quan's descendants were all underage, but Liu Bei left behind an adopted son, and Guo Jia could not allow such a person to survive.

After fighting the country, it will definitely be a new round of distribution of interests. Guo Jia continued to say to Guo Ye: "Behind the amazing wealth, there are always heinous crimes. Anyone who threatens rule and violates our interests, Ye'er, you understand how to do it, how to do it, and what strategies to use. Since you can decide on the six marriages on your own, you must be able to grasp the means and the right time in this way."

Guo Ye looked embarrassed, but soon became suspicious again. Guo Jia told him so much today, and he benefited a lot, but the more he listened, the more he felt that the conversation seemed to have other intentions behind it. There was always a feeling that Guo Jia was entrusting his funeral in his heart.

"Father......"

His hesitant tone made Guo Jia interrupt. At this time, he also arrived at the Xuzhou Prefecture Office. Xiao Ren was already waiting outside the mansion. He lowered his head and gave Guo Jia a look before he lowered his head. The two of them were tacit, and everything was silent.

"Bring Zhuge Liang here."

Guo Jia took Guo Ye into the government office, and Zhuge Liang, who was guarded by several guards behind him, also walked in.

The mansion was silent and there was no one. Guo Jia walked into the simple main hall. While untiing his armor, he said, "Ye'er, Zhuge Kongming is a genius of the world. You must remember that after you were promoted to Yizhou for your father, you will follow the rule of law route. Zhuge Kongming is also a staunch supporter of this route. With him, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Guo Ye felt that things were stranger. Guo Jia had no reason to tell him so clearly about these things. In the past, he had to learn more and read more.

After a while, Zhuge Liang was sent into the hall. Guo Jia also took off his armor, turned around and looked at the handsome Zhuge Liang, walked over, looked up and down, and smiled and said, "Kong Ming, I will still serve the country if I die. You choose one."

Zhuge Liang smiled casually, looked up and down at Guo Jia, and asked back, "There are countless talents around you, so how can you live in the lower place?"

Guo Jia pointed at Guo Ye and looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "It's not me, the person you want to assist is him. Kong Ming, you have just passed thirty. How long do you think you can live? Sixty or eighty? At least twenty years left. Have you been wasting all these years? Assist him, create a prosperous era, and manage this riddled country well, and you can also be remembered forever."

Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised, looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Eunuch, could it be Mi Fang? Ma Chao? Gan Ning?"

Guo Jia smiled heartily and said, "You guessed it? That's good, do you understand?"

Guo Jia still has many things to ask for, such as the killing of Mi Fang, Gan Ning, Ma Chao's fake rebellion, and Yiling's army to die, etc. These things eventually led to a good result, but behind the individual things, they were all the negative impacts of targeting Guo Jia.

Zhuge Liang stared at Guo Jia for a long time, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The beautiful country is within your reach, but I don’t want it!
