"This matter is easy to handle." In response to Gongsun Xu's question, Guo Jia said indifferently: "Liaodong's Gongsun Bian, you can maintain the status quo for now, but once the time is right, you can try to fight for it. But if he dares to provoke us first, we must ruthlessly beat him back! Now that Qiu Liju had been killed by the young duke, the Wuhuan of Liaoxi would definitely have internal strife and it was a great opportunity to settle it in one go. However, it would be best if they could leave some hope for the Wuhuan of Liaoxi and drive them to Wu Huan's place in the Right North Plains, so that Wu Yan could take them in as part of his plan! As for the great enemy of Youzhou, Yuan Shao, I believe that if Marquis Jin keeps Zhang Yan as his, Yuan Shao will not be a concern. "

Zhang Yan was currently hiding in the Yanshan, with hundreds of thousands of people to support him, his days were not difficult at all. He wished to have a piece of land of his own, so for the position of the Magistrate of Ji, he would definitely go all out to fight against Yuan Shao.

"Of course Zhang Jiao is stronger."

"Since that's the case, why do you have to worry so much about Zhang Yan?" Guo Jia's lips curled up in a cold smile, "In the past, Zhang Jiao raised his voice a little. He became a million and shook the entire world, and in the end, didn't he end up as a loser! I'd like to ask the young duke, why was the Yellow Scarf destroyed so quickly? "

Gongsun Xu muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "The yellow-robed army did not have a unified command, so all the great Qu General fought their own battles, and they also liked to gather their main forces to attack the city. After destroying the city, they would kill and loot, and their reputation would get worse and worse. The Yellow Gown Army originated from the lowest class of commoners and was not accepted by the aristocratic families, so this approach was tantamount to destroying one's own foundation! In a word, the strategy of the Yellow Gown Army is extremely wrong! "

"Strategic approach?" Guo Jia muttered these four words, and then suddenly smiled and said, "The young duke's words are quite insightful. Since it is impossible for Zhang Yan to change the strategy, what is there to fear from Jizhou for the time being? May I ask what the young duke would have done if he had been Zhang Jiao back then? "

Without hesitation, Gongsun Xu said, "The villages surround the city and kill the enemies in the sport battle."

"Good!" Guo Jia clapped his hands and praised, then laughed: "I have a lot of respect for the young duke for being proficient in military strategy and tactics. Young Marquis, if you let Zhang Yan become a prefectural governor, he would definitely move all the women and children in Army of Heishan to Jizhou. From then on, not only would he lose the dangerous benefits of the Yanshan, he would also be trapped in Jizhou and would have no choice but to go all out against Yuan Shao, who was deliberately heading north. When both Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao get hurt, and then send people to Zhang Yan's place to stir up some trouble, there will definitely be internal strife. When that happens, army of Youzhou will suppress the world and hundreds of thousands of Army of Heishan will definitely do it! "

Gongsun Xu immediately thought of the chess piece, Tao Dayong, and could not help but be overjoyed: "Brother Guo is right, I am not worried!"

Guo Jia said solemnly, "Don't be too happy yet, Young Marquis. This kind of action can only ensure that the entire northern lands is in your pocket. Once the Northern Territories have settled, when the Marquis Jin faces the other dukes, there's no harm in following the Qin's plan of attack from afar! "

"How can we attack from a distance?"

"Xiliang Ma Teng, Jiangdong Sun Ce, are all brave and unwise, and their internal structure is unstable, they do not have any interest in the Youzhou, so they can temporarily form an alliance with him. In the future, we can slowly draw a map of them; Huainan Yuan Shu, Xuzhou Liu Bei, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Wan City Zhang Xiu, these four families can seize the opportunity to attack him!"

Gongsun Xu shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu has already formed an alliance with the Youzhou to fight against Yuan Shao.

"Oh?" Guo Jia was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "Yuan Shu is a vile character who has repeated times, how can I just let it be? Since we have already formed an alliance, there's no harm in giving him more money, and tempt Yuan Shu and Zhang Yan to attack Yuan Shao together."

"I'll follow Brother Guo's instructions!" Gongsun Xu stood up and bowed respectfully, then said with a sincere tone: "I would like to invite brother Guo to come out as the Youzhou, I wonder what brother Guo thinks?"

Guo Jia immediately stood up, cupped his fists and bowed: "I am of the same mind, and dare not ask for an ear!"

Even an official would choose their monarch. Guo Jia didn't have high requirements for the person he served, but it wasn't low either. Firstly, one could tolerate one's sloppy behaviour; secondly, one had to listen to one's words; and thirdly, one had to be an ambitious person with a bottom line. All of these Gongsun Xu s were equipped with, Guo Jia thought that even if he went to Cao Cao Cao's place, it would only be this much, so he did not play any tricks to decline, and graciously agreed to serve Gongsun Xu.

"Haha, that's great!" This is great! " Gongsun Xu was unable to contain his joy. Originally, he thought that he would still need to work a bit harder, and that he would need to think of something else as well, thus he hurriedly made a vow to the officials: "Since all fifteen thousand of Liu He's elite soldiers have already returned to me, I have decided to organize another army. The name of this army is' White Horse Camp '.

The Military Advisor, Wine Sacrifice was a fifth-grade official, equivalent to the future Chief of Staff of the First Army. It could be said that he held a very high position.

Guo Jia was surprised and happy at the same time, he cupped his hands and said: "Master thinks so highly of me, do you dare to disappoint me?"

"Feng Xiao doesn't need to be so courteous." Gongsun Xu supported Guo Jia, and laughed: "It is just a mere military teacher offering wine, Mister will definitely become my Xiao He in the future!"

Guo Jia sighed: "I'll do my best!"

The two held hands and laughed, they once again sat down, then asked: "Why did Feng Xiao suddenly come to Ji County?"

Guo Jia laughed: "This is a long story."

It turned out that a year ago, Guo Jia had left his hometown in Ying Chuan and traveled everywhere to find an opportunity to join the sect.

As his good friend Xi Zhicai had died, Guo Jia could not help but to have some enmity towards Cao Cao, thus he first went to Ye City (Jizhou City, where Yuan Shao was stationed) to see Yuan Shao. Very quickly, he realized that Yuan Shao was magnanimous and did not know what to do. He emphasized on false etiquette and did not pay attention to reality, the strategists under his command, Tian Feng and Ju Shou, were outstanding, but because of his straightforward personality, they were disliked by Yuan Shao, and even his repeated suggestions were rejected. After Guo Jia understood the situation, he lost confidence in Yuan Shao and they soon left Ye City. Originally, he wanted to turn his attention to Cao Cao Cao, but suddenly he heard a shocking rumor about the young duke from Marquis of Ji's Mansion.

Hearing this, Gongsun Xu laughed and sighed, "So it turns out that Feng Xiao coming to Ji County has something to do with me.

Guo Jia nodded: "It is indeed heaven's will! If I hadn't heard my lord's rumors, I probably wouldn't have come to Ji County. "Oh right, why would the Lord go out alone today?"

Gongsun Xu laughed, and explained everything to him, but did not mention anything about how he almost lost his life saving Yan Rou.

"So that's how it is. You're a good man!" Guo Jia praised, then suddenly asked: "Rumor has it that the Divine Doctor Hua Tuo will live in the Youzhou, and that the Youzhou will build a great medical hall, is this action of mine?"

"Yes, Feng Xiao is looking for Godly Doctor Hua?" When Gongsun Xu asked this question, he suddenly remembered that the historical Guo Jia had died young, and had to find a chance to properly diagnose Guo Jia.

"Not really." Guo Jia shook his head: "I am not looking for the Godly Doctor Hua, but from this matter, I can see that Master does not discriminate against lowly businesses, so Master is not a Confucian scholar, am I right?"

At the time of the Wu Emperor, Dong Zhongshu wrote to ask to be dismissed, and the Wu Emperor was pleased to play. From then on, Confucianism was the most respected in the Great Han Dynasty, and the descendants of Confucianism were all above their heads.

"About this," Gongsun Xu hesitated for a moment, and said honestly: "To be honest, Feng Xiao, I have never shielded myself from anyone."

"So Master is intelligent!" May I ask, sir, what do you think of all the people here? And how do you view the royal family, the aristocratic families, and the common people? "

Are you asking about the political platform?

Gongsun Xu was startled. After pondering for a long time, he then said, "During the Spring and Autumn War Nation's period, there was a war of attrition, blooming of flowers in various fields such as medicine, astrology, calculus, science and technology, etc. It was a pity that after the Martial Emperor's unique Confucianism, the Confucius family had forcefully suppressed other theories. Most of them had already declined, and many areas did not advance, but instead regressed. It was truly a pity that they could not compare to the ancient era! It didn't matter if it was an academic or an official situation, as long as there was an unsupervised power, it would inevitably lead to absolute corruption. Defeat. fall. It cannot be denied that Confucianism has its merits. Its core strategy of being a fool is more advantageous to the ruler, but it also causes society to stagnate. Hence, the supremacy of Confucianism is absolutely undesirable.

Guo Jia lowered his head and said, "The power of being left unsupervised must definitely lead to absolute corruption." Defeat. fall. As he repeated the words' the release of a hundred flowers is spring 'and' the release of a hundred flowers is spring ', his eyes became brighter and brighter. He had roamed through over a hundred clans and had heard of many things. He was extremely dissatisfied with the ways of the world and had often thought about how to change it, but he mostly thought about how to change it from the imperial court. Gongsun Xu's few words had given him another way of thinking.

Gongsun Xu waited until Guo Jia raised his head to look at him, and then continued, "I thought we should put together the royal family, the aristocratic families, and the commoners. Let me first give a few examples, such as the Chinese government in the early autumn of Spring and Spring, which may seem fair and reasonable, but it actually makes things more complicated. What could have been decided in a single day would usually drag on for several days. There was no other reason. The people were not intelligent enough to make all kinds of decisions, so they just kept arguing! Furthermore, during the Warring States period, the monarchs of the various countries rose strongly in power, the powerful doctors in the countries assisted them, and the aristocratic families were in their infancy. Although there were hundreds of flowers blooming, most of the knowledge was still in the hands of the royal family and the powerful doctors, and the citizens had not developed their intelligence yet.

This … "Guo Jia hesitated slightly, but then suddenly smiled:" I might as well give you an example. It's just as my master said, during the war, the people's wisdom did not develop, but the mighty king appeared just like a dutiful hen, able to bring a bunch of ignorant chicks and gradually grow.

"Feng Xiao is right!" Gongsun Xu smiled as he agreed, "That's why I thought that 'The people can use it, but not, they can't use it.' Only by fully opening up the minds of the people and weakening the power of the empire can you change it completely. Before that, the ignorant people really need a strong Emperor. "

Guo Jia's heart trembled, and he said in shock: "If my lord were to rule the world, would he use his own power?"

Gongsun Xu nodded: "If people's minds are open, why not? At that time, we can follow the example of our countrymen and negotiate government.

Guo Jia sighed: "Master is broad-minded, I am extremely impressed. But the books are precious, and the scholars today aren't willing to teach the people who have lost their heads.

"This is not difficult." Gongsun Xu said confidently: "I have a way to quickly and cheaply print books. As for talent, it was a little difficult and required a long term plan. If I want to become an official, I need someone to recommend me. If I were to promote all kinds of cheap books, open examinations, and use all kinds of tests to select poor people, such as items, calculus, medicine, and so on, wouldn't I be able to use hundreds of thousands of people in the next few decades? "

"Awesome!" Guo Jia clapped his hands and praised, "This is two birds with one stone! It could not only select many Humble Class talents for its own use, it could also subtly weaken the Wealthy Class families! Master has always had wonderful ideas, could it be that you have the help of ghosts and gods? "

Gongsun Xu laughed but did not say a word, neither admitting nor denying.

Guo Jia looked at the teacup, and without much excitement he said: "Today we are talking happily with our lord, we should be having fun, but here, there is only one pot of turbid tea, it is really depressing!"

Gongsun Xu laughed: "How difficult is that? Come with me, we will definitely let Feng Xiao have his fill! "

"Haha, master is really perceptive! "Hurry up and leave!" Guo Jia was overjoyed, he got up and pulled Gongsun Xu away.

"Wait! Tea money! I haven't paid for the tea. " Gongsun Xu took out a few bronze coins from his money bag and threw it on the table. The two of them walked out of the tea shop while laughing.
