Although Jizhou has not yet been won, the candidates for Jizhou Shepherd have to be determined earlier. It is best to go with Zhao Yun's army that is about to go north and join forces with Lu Bu's Evil Tiger Camp, and take office immediately.

Yan Qing couldn't help being a little hesitant.

The representative of the aristocratic family, Xun Yu is now the Yanzhou Shepherd, so in order to maintain balance, it is best to promote the poor family to be the Jizhou Shepherd.

In this way, there are two main problems in front of him-there are too few suitable candidates for him to consider, and after Xinzhou Mu took office, due to his background, he wanted to gain the attachment of those deep-rooted local gentry in Jizhou. will get bigger.

Yan Qing couldn't make up his mind, so he simply called Guo Jia to discuss it in private.

"My lord, Xun Jia, why?"

Guo Jia lifted the curtain casually, and before the mats were warmed up after entering, Yan Qing pointed out and asked: "According to Feng Xiao, between Wen He and Zhong De, who is up to this important task?" "

"Why are those two selected?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows lazily, and said in a startling way: "My lord, why don't you recommend Jia to try?"

Yan Qing twisted his face angrily: "Are you willing?"

Guo Jia really thought about it for a moment, and said firmly, "No."

If you stay by the lord's side, you will have delicious wine to drink every now and then, wonderful miracles to see, peerless beauties to admire, and occasionally fools to tease, wouldn't it be wonderful?

Yan Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "That's it. Don't be joking, tell me what you think."

Guo Jia was active and not afraid of trouble when it came to making suggestions and strategizing, but he absolutely couldn't stand the inevitable tedious and trivial things that the state herdsmen had to face.

Moreover, even if Guo Jia was obsessed with ghosts for a while and agreed abnormally, Yan Qing would not trust him to go.

Guo Jia always works too hard. Although his body has been recuperated to a lot of health, there is always a shadow of his untimely death in Yan Qing's heart, so that if he doesn't put it under his nose, he can't feel at ease.

I'm afraid that this rare and lively ghost who is favored by him will overwork his official duties, become sick from overwork, and die from exhaustion.

After talking and laughing, Guo Jia gave his answer without hesitation: "Of course it is Cheng Zhongde."

Yan Qing couldn't help being slightly surprised.

In his imagination, Guo Jia, who had worked with Jia Xu for a period of time and got along well, should recommend Jia Xu who is more familiar. Where is Yu?

"Why is this?"

Guo Jia said calmly: "Zhong De can be reused by Wen Ruo's side, and he is very appreciated when he is appointed as his right arm and right hand. It can be seen that his talents and conduct are beyond the reach of ordinary people. In fact, he came from the Han family, but because of being recommended , so that they can be regarded as a faction, and meet the wishes of the lord and them, isn't it the best candidate?"

Yan Qing pondered for a while, and had to agree with Guo Jia's opinion, which indeed had some truth.

It's not that Jia Xu is inferior to Cheng Yu in terms of ability, but that the latter maintains a very good relationship with people on both sides. If you recommend him, it will be a good thing.

Yan Qing said decisively: "Then I will write a letter to Zhong De in a while."

Since he wanted to entrust him with an important task, he had to let the other party know who advocated the appreciation behind this extraordinary promotion, and whether the regime in Jidi was stable and obedient was of great significance to the unification of several northern states after Yan Qing.

It is undoubtedly extremely necessary to confirm Cheng Yu's loyalty and ambition before he is formally appointed.

Guo Jia smiled slyly, shook his legs leisurely and said: "Besides, the war in the south is about to start, and with my lord's usual style, I am afraid that I will lead the army to conquer again, and I probably won't stay in Yudi for long, so how can I get away from Wen?" and governance?"

"Wait a minute." Yan Qing's eyebrows twitched: "How did you know that there is going to be a war in the south?"

Guo Jia's judgment was extremely accurate, and history has predicted Sun Ce's early death, which was all powerful and powerful at that time. Even if he understates it at this time, Yan Qing cannot take it lightly.

Guo Jia shook her fan gracefully, with a calm and personable demeanor.

When he had done enough, he calmed down and said under Yan Qing's sharp stare: "Wang Rui and Cao Yin are incompatible, and after taking advantage of him to rebel, the situation is even worse, like a deadly enemy. The prestige of the soldiers is not just one soldier. They scare off Cao Yin to help Wang Rui take back the state, but they don't hurt the soldiers of Wuling County. They have retreated now, leaving Wang Rui alone, who can be driven by him There are very few of these parts, because the morale of these parts has not been achieved in the Allied Western Expedition, the morale is inevitably low, but he is tired of the expedition. Cao Yin is evil in nature and good at judgment, he is not a person of morality. If it doesn't work, why don't you make another plan as soon as possible?" Guo Jia paused for a moment, then said firmly: "From my point of view, within a year or so, Wang Rui will definitely die at the hands of this person."

Yan Qing: "..."

He couldn't help wondering whether the person who had read the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and was able to figure out the characters of some people whose names and surnames appeared came from himself in later generations, or this handsome Guo Fengxiao who shook his fan and talked eloquently .

Because the course of history has been greatly rewritten by his repeated disturbances, the capital he can rely on has naturally shrunk significantly.

However, Guo Jia was not affected at all with his own intelligence and keen insight.Even because he became an official earlier, and because Yan Qing gave him enough authority and trust, he was able to perform to the fullest, and he unconsciously gave some hints when he spoke on weekdays, which made him feel like a fish in water, and his talents also improved by leaps and bounds. In Yingchuan, I am keen to sit and discuss with like-minded people, and talk about the superficiality of current affairs.

Did this guy just memorize the script?

Yan Qing stared complicatedly at Guo Jia, who was in high spirits and seemed to be shining, but the extremely shy latter hadn't noticed this yet, and was just talking excitedly.

After explaining the grievances and grievances between Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, without warning, he jumped to the head of Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou who was ruled next to him: "Chen Wen is cautious and cautious, and he doesn't want to offend anyone. However, his subordinates are like a mess, the county guards are torn apart, and they are doing their own thing. He has a false reputation as an assassin, but has no fighting power. His soldiers and people are starving, eating river mussels as food, and the wealthy family willfully rampant and domineering. As the master of the situation , Land acquisition, recruiting soldiers, raising people, recruiting soldiers, everything is possible, wouldn’t it be hunted by Yuan Shao and Liu Chong who are struggling to find a base to settle down?”

Guo Jia's eyebrows were beaming, and he talked a lot, and finally came to a conclusion: "If you can't control it, you will be invaded by foreign enemies. Although the Yuan family is in decline, it is not something he can resist. It seems that Yangzhou is broken quickly. , or Jingzhou is going into chaos fast—my lord?"

After Yan Qing was convinced, he couldn't help but silently handed a cup of tea to Mr. Guo Jia, and said respectfully: "Thank you Fengxiao first. Please feel sorry for the crude tea, and use it to moisten your throat."

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but take back the legs that were casually placed on the desk just now, and sat down more politely, and was somewhat serious by Yan Qing's serious attitude: "It's a matter of duty. , it is my duty, how can I deserve the word 'thank you'?"

Yan Qing nodded: "You can't just let it go. If Yuan Shao can fulfill his wish and get the Huaiyang area as a base to develop and grow, it will be very difficult in the future."

I don't know what Dong Zhuo was thinking that day, maybe he didn't have time, maybe he didn't care about it after slaughtering Yuan Kui's family. In short, when Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang, his official title of captain had not been removed.

Once there is a base, it seems logical to become a warlord.

In history, Yuan Shao, as a mere prefect of Bohai Sea, accomplished the victory ahead of time by both forcing and deceiving Jizhou Mu Han Fu to abdicate. It may not be difficult to frighten Chen Wen, who is not as good as Han Fu.

Guo Jia smiled happily and said: "Since we can predict the enemy's opportunity, how can we neglect to guard against it and give them an opportunity? My lord only needs to forge some letters, pretending that they were intercepted and sent to Chen Wen. He is quite self-aware. Frightened, I will be grateful to ask the lord for help."

Yan Qing raised his eyelids, and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid Feng Xiao's real intention is not here, is it?"

Guo Jia would not be so "selfless". He suggested that he mobilize the army and mobilize the army to go south, just to help a friend, but Chen Wen, who obeyed his dialect because he was afraid of him, kept his foundation.

Guo Jiali said bluntly: "In the world, it's always easy to invite people and give them away. Besides, Yuan Shao was only retreated for a while, and he needs to continue to guard against it in the future. Naturally, some soldiers have to be stationed. Chen Yangzhou is a man who understands things and understands current affairs. How could he?" Objection?"

This is to send troops to Yangzhou in an open and honest manner to act on behalf of Chen Wen, the titular governor, and to lay the foundation for future plots. Chen Wen, who will be sold sooner or later, will help them count the money diligently.

It was quite brazen, but it moved Yan Qing's heart.

Guo Jia murmured: "As for Jingzhou, let's wait and see for now, mainly to see how Wen Ruo reacts."

Yan Qing was taken aback, and couldn't help looking at Guo Jia.

Although they have never described it in detail in words, they can understand it instantly when their eyes intersect.

Guo Jia's eyes moved slightly: "If there is no way to get the best of both worlds, what will happen to my lord?"

"My heart is a stone, and I can't change it." Yan Qing replied with a sentence from the Book of Songs, and said softly: "I will search up and down, and I will not fail Wen Ruo and Qing."

Xun Yu is now diligent and conscientious, he is prudent for him, recruiting talents, devoting himself to everything, what he wants is to put down the chaos and realize Hongda ideal.

And whether he was born and died, the soldiers who fought in all directions, or the military advisers who worked hard and made calculations, should not be treated badly.

Fortunately, the person who really knows what Yan Qing is looking for, apart from General Lu, who cannot disclose the identity of the other "mother" but can guarantee absolute loyalty and keeps a tight lip, Jia Xu, who has been open and honest with him, and He He has always had a deep friendship and became his confidant Guo Jia.

In this way, when the day when we have to see each other comes, there is still time to think about it slowly. I don't know if there is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Guo Jia smiled, bowed suddenly, and continued: "The great man is already in the afterglow of the westerly wind. In today's world, although there are many heroes rising together, he is willing to use his own strength to plan for the world, bear the hope of all people, and relieve the world. The tyranny, who is inspired by the heavens by virtue of his aptitude to command heroes and talents, and to set things right, is only the lord. The people of the two states respect him, and among the scholars, whoever has the lord's heart-to-heart confidence is willing to die."

Yan Qing was worrying about Xun Yu's side, and was caught off guard by Guo Jia's rare serious, heart-pounding, sincere and fleshy tone, and suddenly felt uncomfortable: "It's so good, say these things. do what?"

Guo Jia naturally held Yan Qing's cold hand, and said naturally: "It is for the effect of fighting."

Yan Qing: "..."

Dare to feel that this is a means of reminding with a whip and rewarding a candy for encouragement.

While he was moved, he couldn't help being amused. Just as he broke away from Guo Jia's hand, before he could speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside: "My lord, the army has arrived!"

Guo Jia quickly stood up, took the initiative to go outside the tent to pick it up, and read it together with Yan Qing's affectionate shoulder to shoulder.

The content is very simple, only four simple words——

"Rui died, replaced by Yin."

Guo Jia: "Yo."

Yan Qing: "..."

It is worthy of being a god-level crow mouth who says whoever is unlucky is unlucky, and whoever is said to die will die.
