Chapter 20 The Guanghan Clan

Even if there is no saying that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, how could aspiring people who have learned poetry and books not understand this simple truth? However, the rise of the aristocratic family has bound too many talents who are willing to support the world for generations.

After a conflict between personal ideals and family interests, they often succumb to family interests.

Qin Mi deeply understood the meaning of Zhen Yao's words, and being able to evaluate him by the word "National Scholar" shows his sincerity.

But Qin Mi is not a person influenced by emotions. He has to stand firm in his position by reason. At least he has to see clearly what Guo Jia will do after taking over Yizhou.

Because there were too many lessons from the past, Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang to steal the Longting and poison the world. Liu Yan went to Yizhou to make an arbitrary move. He used the emperor's ceremonial guards to show that his heart was not a minister.

Guo Jia's rebellion achieved temporary success, but did he really have the ambition to the world? Is he really going to benefit the people? I can only wait and see.

Taking the provincial and ministerial palace as his place of residence and transportation, Guo Jia was resting and recuperating within a month after entering Chengdu. Compared with before he came, there was almost no change except that the army that ruled Yizhou became the Taiping Army.

Strictly order his subordinates to restrain the soldiers and not disturb the people. Replenishing supplies in the army is the top priority. There are a lot of things needed every day. Only by stabilizing the morale of the army can the situation be stabilized, and only by allowing the soldiers to obtain the most basic living guarantee can they continue to work for Guo Jia peacefully.

Ganning went north to Hanzhong to command 35,000 troops and began to pacify the three counties of Yin and Pingwenshan in Wudu. In fact, there were no large troops stationed in these places. Guo Jia just needed all the prefects of these three counties to serve him. At least in name, he had to serve him. Those who openly resisted will directly siege him.

Zhang Baiqi, Sima Ju and Xu He also led the troops to the three pre-arranged counties of Badong, Fuling and Jiangyang.

In one month, the surrendered soldiers were reorganized in Chengdu. Xu Chu and Dianwei and both supplemented 5,000 troops. Guo Jia gave them priority to supplement the soldiers. In order to let them select strong soldiers, Zhou Tai's soldiers expanded to 15,000, and Zhang Yan merged the remaining surrendered soldiers into the army, and also had an army of 40,000.

After a month of reorganization training, Guo Jia sent his generals to the counties and counties around Shu County to recruit surrender. They had only two tasks to go to these counties. The first was to make the prefects of each county loyal, and the second was to dismantle the army of these counties, if any.

In the provincial government office meeting hall and Xiu Qizhiping were dealing with the city's government affairs, Guo Jia looked at the four of them with a headache, and it was difficult to make a decision.

"Do you really want to be king?"

Guo Xiu spread his hands and asked helplessly: "The lord is not called king, how should the people in the world call him lord? Once Dong Zhuo stabilizes in Chang'an, he will definitely send someone to recruit you as soon as possible. At that time, will the lord surrender to the Han Dynasty in name? Or will he not surrender?"

As soon as the words came to an end, Guo Ping interjected again: "If the lord surrendered, the people of the world would not change their views on the lord at all. The lord was always a rebellious traitor because the lord killed the Han family and usurped Yizhou. The lord surrendered to the court in name, and Dong Zhuo issued an edict to the lord in the future. Will the edict be accepted by the emperor? Will the evil edict be accepted? Then he was in a dilemma, so why not be independent now."

Guo Jia understood these principles, but if he was king now, he was worried that the eighteen princes would directly attack him, because Dong Zhuo was still a Han official after all, although he was a rioter.

After thinking about it, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's not time to be king. I will first lead the general of the Taiping Army, change the provincial governor's office to Yizhou Prefecture, and general the military and political affairs of the entire Yizhou area. As for the rest, I will wait and see the changes in the world before making plans."

This is to be a low-key gesture in front of the people of the world. When Zhang Jiao rebelled and shouted that the sky was dead, he only dared to call himself the General of the Heavenly King. Although Guo Jia had a state, he would have surpassed the princes of the world in terms of class. This is probably not something that the princes of the world can tolerate. However, claiming to be a general of the Taiping Army is equivalent to the Taiping Army. The meaning is no different from the lord of the Taiping Army now. However, in the eyes of the people of the world, Guo Jia is just an ordinary warlord. The princes of the world can still look down on Guo Jia, and the response will not be so fierce.

The change of the position of the governor of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the Prefecture of the

While continuing to deal with government affairs, Xu Shu hurried into the hall and said to Guo Jia with a hurried face: "Lord, it's not good. Xu Chu led his troops to Guanghan County. He encountered the resistance of the Qin family of Guanghan County. The Qin family and other large clans of Guanghan County gathered thousands of people to confront Xu Chu. Zhen Yao, who was going with Xu Chu, stopped Xu Chu and did not form a melee. Zhen Yao sent an urgent report and asked the lord to decide. What should be the current situation?"

Smack

Guo Jia slapped the table, with a bit of depression in his expression.

Without hesitation, he walked outward. Guo Jia said in a deep voice as he walked: "Tell Xu Chu, don't act rashly, and make a decision when I arrive."

...

Guanghan County

Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor and riding a gray and black war horse. His hands pressed on the weapons were slightly trembling, and he glared at the people in front of him.

Outside Ye County, the two chief officials of the Qin family led the Guanghan family to resist Xu Chu together. The leaders were Qin Mi's uncle and second uncle.

"Uncle, second uncle, I heard from my nephew that all the villagers should step down. Guo Jia just wants to surrender to him in name at this moment. As long as the Qin family does not resist him, Guo Jia will not use any rash weapons. You are like this now, so you are forcing Guo Jia to raise the butcher knife."

Qin Mi spoke sincerely in front of his uncle Qin Ye and his second uncle Qin Cheng, but Qin Ye and Qin Cheng were unmoved. They held their heads with a domineering attitude, despised Xu Chu, and the representatives of the Guanghan clan who stood beside them with the two naturally became arrogant when they saw that the Qin family came forward to not buy Guo Jia's account.

Xu Chu was furious, who was not good at getting off the army. If Zhen Yao hadn't stopped him, he would have drawn his sword and fought long ago, how could he be so angry?

The two sides confronted each other, and Qin Mi and Zhen Yao were very helpless. Qin Mi could not persuade the elders of the Qin family to give in. Zhen Yao could persuade Xu Chu to temporarily suppress his anger. Otherwise, once the war started, the image of the Taiping Army and the people created by Guo Jia was completely destroyed.

As for the Guanghan tribes led by the Qin family, the township warriors behind them who swear to death and refuse to let Xu Chu step into Ye County with farm tools, no one can tell how many ordinary people are or the private soldiers in these big families. Anyway, the people are easily incited, and the big families also have private soldiers. It is easy for the Qin family to set up a formation of ten thousand people.

When Guo Jia arrived at the scene, the two sides were already cursing each other impatiently.

Xu Chu threatened to fight one-on-one, but Qin Ye and Qin Cheng ridiculed Xu Chu for being able to speak out quickly and cursed both sides. The soldiers behind Xu Chu pulled out weapons to cheer for the general, and the soldiers behind Qin Ye and Qin Cheng also held up farm tools and looked like they were unretreated.

"Rareless! Xu Chu, is your soldiers like this? Put away the weapons for me! What kind of scheming is it!"

Guo Jia walked slowly into the field with his horse, and the soldiers took the initiative to separate the road and lowered their heads with shame.

The Guanghan tribes who became the leader of Qin Ye and Qin looked at the young man riding his horse, with a jade face, wearing brocade robes and martial arts crowns on his head, and were very heroic. With this appearance and temperament, they really have the ability to become the master.

Xu Chu was so angry that he was confused. Now that he was scolded by Guo Jia, he suddenly realized that the people behind him were not like soldiers, they were like bandits and bullies.

He got off the horse and knelt on one knee in front of Guo Jia, and looked as if he was shameless. Xu Chu said in a muffled voice: "Xu Chu greets his lord, I am embarrassing my lord, and let it be for you."

Suppressing his anger, Guo Jia shouted: "Remember to me that you are generals, they are soldiers. The weapons in your hands are not decorations that show off your power, but sharp blades that kill the generals and kill the enemy! Only when they can be pulled out, they will be taken back without drinking blood. That is a sign of incompetence."

Xu Chu gritted his teeth and nodded, "I know, lord, I have received a military order to Guanghan County. Now they are blocking the way. Is it considered an enemy? Can I draw out my weapons?"

Guo Jia looked up at the silent people in front of him. Qin Ye and Qin Chengdu were paying attention to him to see how he would give Xu Chu instructions.

With a cold snorting, Guo Jia said, "Can't even ordinary people be scared by your soldiers except for the sword in their hands?"

When Xu Chu heard this, he understood a little. He stood up and shouted at the soldiers under his command: "Let the array!"

Wow

Five thousand soldiers were neatly arranged in the square formation, pressing the handle of the knife with their hands, looking ahead with their eyes glaring, and being able to draw their swords at any time.

With this stern aura, Qin Ye and Qin Cheng took a step back at the same time and took a breath of air conditioning.

The army is the army after all, and private soldiers are always a mob.

Looking at the 5,000 soldiers wearing armor under Xu Chu's command as if they were facing a great enemy, the Guanghan clans were all worried, fearing that Guo Jiazhen would order Xu Chu to fight with them.

So what if there are thousands of people? Fighting with regular soldiers is like killing them.

Riding on the horse and coming out to Qin Ye and Qin Cheng, Guo Jia looked down at the two of them for a moment. Both of them were gentle and elegant, and they were wearing brocade-sleeved robes. They looked humble and elderly, but the arrogant look in their eyes that ignored everything made Guo Jia feel uncomfortable.

With his eyes turned, Guo Jia saw Qin Mi beside the two of them. Seeing him sighing helplessly, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth.

"Why should the villagers of Guanghan prevent our army from entering the Guanghan territory?"

Guo Jia said this sentence in a very gentle tone.

However, Qin Ye raised his head and looked elsewhere as if he was talking to himself: "I have never been used to looking up at others and talking, hum."

"you!"

When Xu Chu saw that Qin Ye was disrespectful to Guo Jia, he immediately wanted to step forward and vent his anger for his lord, but Guo Jia waved his hand and signaled Xu Chu not to act rashly.

Turning over and dismounting, Guo Jia patted his clothes in a casual manner, stood in front of Qin Ye and asked softly: "Dare you ask why the Guanghan clan does not welcome me, Guo Jia?"

Qin Ye snorted coldly, and turned his face with contempt. Qin Cheng beside him sneered and said, "Of course we welcome it, but there is no need to worry about the three roads of Guanghan 11 counties. We send taxes to Chengdu every year. We will make the decision on the rest of the matters by ourselves."
