C31 A Pot of Turbid Tea on the World(last Part)

"This matter is easy to handle." In response to Gongsun's question, Guo Jia continued to speak indifferently, "Liaodong's Gongsun Clan's current status is good enough. When the time comes, we will fight to the death for now, but if he dares to provoke us, we must beat him back!" Now that Qiu Liju was killed by the Marquis, the Wuhuan of Liaoxi would definitely have internal strife and it was a great opportunity to settle it in one go. But it would be best if they could give the Wuhuan of Liaoxi a chance, if they could drive their remaining forces to Wu Huan's place in the Right North Plains, then Wu Yan would have to take them in as part of the plan! As for the great enemy of Youzhou, Yuan Shao Wu, he believes that if Marquis Ji reveals Zhang Yan as the's assassin, then Yuan Shao is of no concern. "

Zhang Yan was currently living in the Yanshan and had hundreds of thousands of people to support him, so his days were not difficult at all. He wanted to have his own territory, so for the sake of Jizhou Mu, he would fight against Yuan Shao with all his might.

Repellent Tiger Swallowing Wolf! These four words suddenly flashed in Gongsun Xu's mind, and then he immediately became worried. He frowned and said, "Zhang Yan controls hundreds of thousands of Army of Heishan, if he takes over Jizhou, it will inevitably become a huge threat in the future!"

Guo Jia said indifferently, "Does the young duke think that Zhang Yan is strong or Zhang Jiao is strong?"

"Of course Zhang Jiao is stronger."

"Since that's the case, why worry so much about Zhang Yan?" A cold smile flashed at the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, "In the past, when Zhang Jiao rose in rank, the world shook from millions of people, but in the end, he was still defeated! I'd like to ask the young duke, why was the Yellow Scarf destroyed so quickly? "

Gongsun Xu pondered for a while and said, "The Yellow Scarves don't have a unified command, so the Great Wu will fight on its own. They also like to gather their main forces to attack the city, so they will often suffer heavy casualties. 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 repeated these words and suddenly laughed, "The young duke's words are quite accurate. Since Zhang Yan is unable to change the strategy, why should he fear the Jizhou? May I ask what the young duke would have done if he had been Zhang Jiao back then? "

Without hesitation, Gongsun Xu said: "The countryside surrounds the city, annihilating the enemy in the sport battle."

"Good!" Zhou Tie clapped his hands in admiration and laughed, "I admire the young duke for being proficient in military tactics. Young Marquis, if you let Zhang Yan become the Jizhou's prefectural governor, he would definitely move all the women and children in Army of Heishan to the Jizhou. From then on, not only would he lose the dangerous location in Yanshan, he would also be trapped in the Jizhou and have no choice but to fight against Yuan Shao who was deliberately heading north. Marquis Jin might as well stabilize the rear until both Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao are heavily injured, and then send people to provoke Zhang Yan, which will definitely lead to internal strife. When that happens, Youzhou will be under pressure, and there will be hundreds of thousands of Army of Heishan to teach! "

Gongsun Xu suddenly thought of Tao Dayong's pawn and couldn't help but exclaim in joy, "Brother Guo is right, I don't have any worries!"

Guo Jia said solemnly, "Don't be too happy too early, young duke. Doing things like this can only ensure that the entire northern lands will be in your pocket." Once the northern lands have been pacified and Marquis Jin faces the other dukes, it would be better for him to follow the Qin from afar and attack from afar! "

"How can we attack from a distance?"

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

Gongsun Xu shook his head: "Yuan Shu and Youzhou have allied to fight against Yuan Shao, so it is temporarily untouchable."

"Oh?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment before sighing, "Yuan Shu is a vile character that has been repeatedly tricked. Since we have already formed an alliance, why not give us more money to lure Yuan Shu and Zhang Yan into pincer Yuan Shao."

"I'll follow Brother Guo's instructions!" Gongsun Xu stood up and saluted respectfully. With a sincere tone, he said, "I would like to invite Brother Guo to come out from the Youzhou. I wonder what Brother Guo thinks?"

Guo Jia quickly stood up, cupped his fist and bowed, "I am very willing, I don't dare to listen!"

Jun Youchen was an official who had also chosen his master. Guo Jia didn't have high expectations of his subjects, but neither was it low. Firstly, being broad-minded would tolerate his sloppy actions; secondly, he had to obey his words; and thirdly, he had to be a man with a bottom line. Gongsun Xu had it all. Guo Jia thought it would be a waste even if he went to Cao Cao's place, so he didn't play any tricks to refuse and agreed to work for Gongsun Xu.

"Haha, that's great!" This is great! " Gongsun Xu was unable to contain his joy. Initially, he thought that it would still be some work to do, so he quickly made an official wish: "Since all fifteen thousand of Liu He's elite soldiers have already returned to me, I have decided to make another army, named 'White Horse Camp'. I ask Feng Xiao to serve as the Military Advisor for the wine offering.

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, "My lord, you think so highly of me. Do you dare to refuse me?"

"There's no need for Feng Xiao to be so courteous." Gongsun Xu helped Guo Jia up as he said with a smile, "It's just a toast to the Military Advisor. In the future, Mister will definitely be my Xiao He!"

Guo Jia exclaimed, "I will do my best!"

The two of them laughed hand in hand. After they sat down again, Gongsun Xu asked: "Why did Feng Xiao suddenly come to Ji County?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "This is a long story."

It turned out that a year ago, Guo Jia left his hometown in Yingchuan to travel around in search of an opportunity for an official.

Guo Jia, who had a grudge against Cao Cao because her friend's wishful thinking had died down, first went to Ye City (the Jizhou Hospital, where Yuan Shao was stationed) to meet Yuan Shao. Soon, he discovered that Yuan Shao was a generous man who didn't know how to judge others, and that he valued false etiquette instead of actual practice. His subordinate, Tian Feng, was an outstanding strategist, but because of his straightforward character, he was loathed by Yuan Shao. Guo Jia lost her confidence in Yuan Shao after understanding the situation and soon left Ye City. She originally wanted to turn her attention to Cao Cao Cao, but suddenly, she heard a shocking rumor about the young duke of Marquis of Ji's Mansion. Firstly, he was curious about Gongsun Shang and secondly, he wanted to meet the Marquis of Ji in person.

Hearing this, Gongsun Xu laughed and sighed: "So Feng Xiao's arrival at Ji County is related to me, this is heaven's will ah!"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Indeed, it's 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 smiled and explained the situation with Yan Rou briefly. However, he did not mention that he had almost lost his life to save Yan Rou.

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

"Exactly, Feng Xiao is looking for Godly Doctor Hua?" When Gongsun Xu asked this question, he suddenly remembered that Guo Jia had died young in history. He needed to find an opportunity to let Hua Tuo give Guo Jia a proper diagnosis.

"Not really." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I am not looking for Godly Doctor Hua. I can see from this matter that my lord does not discriminate against lowly businesses. I presume that my lord is not a Confucian scholar?"

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 second and said honestly, "I won't hide it from Feng Xiao. I have never been a master to 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 stunned, he thought for a long time and then said, "During the Spring and Autumn War, there were hundreds of people competing for it, but in the fields of 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 bowed his head and said, 'Unsupervised power will inevitably 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 was very dissatisfied with the way of the world today and often thought about how to change it. But he thought about the most about how to change it from the imperial court. Gongsun Xu's words provided him with another way of thinking.

Gongsun Xu waited until Guo Jia raised his head to look at him before he continued, "I think we should talk about the royal family, the aristocratic families and the commoners together. 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! For example, during the Warring States period, when the monarchs of the various countries rose strongly in power, when the powerful doctors of the country assisted them, when the aristocratic families were in their infancy. Although there were hundreds of flowers blooming in unison, most of the knowledge was still in the hands of the royal family and the noble doctors.

This … "Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, but then suddenly smiled," I might as well give you an example. As my lord said, during the Warring States Period, the people's wisdom was not opened, but the appearance of the powerful king was like a dutiful hen, gradually growing with a bunch of ignorant chicks.

"Wu Tie's words are extremely true!" Gongsun Xu agreed with a smile, "Therefore, I think 'the people can use, cannot use, knows.' Only by fully opening up the people's wisdom and weakening the imperial power can we change it completely. Before that, the ignorant people really need a strong Emperor. "

Guo Jia's heart shook as he said in surprise: "If our master were to rule the world, would he cut down his own power?"

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

Guo Jia sighed. "The lord is magnanimous, and he is full of admiration. 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 confidently said, "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 in admiration, "This is a double-edged arrow! 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 smiled without a word, neither admitting nor denying.

Guo Jia looked at the tea cup and replied dispiritedly, "Today we are having a pleasant conversation. We should be having a big day, but here is only a pot of turbid tea. It really displeases us!"

Gongsun Xu laughed. "How hard is that?" "Come with me and 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 copper coins from his money bag and threw it on the table. The two of them walked out of the tea shop while talking and laughing.
