Eight hundred and sixty Our lives have been saved
After Liu Zhang's surrender, the fertile Chengdu Plain could be used as a new logistics base, which would be of great help to the Wei army to further pacify Nanzhong.
Therefore, Guo Jia felt that according to Guo Peng's temperament, he would definitely make good use of the fertile soil of this country of abundance and continue to fight.
So during this time, Guo Jia decided to screen out some people who needed to be taken to the Central Plains with Liu Zhang, so as to lay the foundation for Guo Peng's next governance and create space.
Guo Jia didn't seem to have done anything during his time in Chengdu, just at the invitation of major families, eating and having fun with them, or chatting with Liu Zhang, as if he had done nothing.
But the basic situation in Chengdu and even Shuzhong has been almost understood by him.
For example, Xu Jing, a famous man from the Central Plains who tried to climb over the wall to surrender the Wei army, and Zhang Su and Zhang Song, who insisted on resisting, all kinds of people filled the entire Chengdu, and none of them were left behind.
Especially Xu Jing, one of the hosts of the former Yuedan Commentary, who also had a great reputation in the Central Plains, and many people in the world admired him.
But he never expected that at the moment of the great enemy, he actually tried to climb over the wall and surrender without any dignity, and he couldn't even dodge a little in the city, which is too shameless, right?
Moreover, after the Wei army entered Chengdu, Xu Jing was also one of the first officials to come to see Guo Jia with a shy face, and he was very enthusiastic in front of everyone, without any shame.
The older this person lives, the more shameless he becomes?
Guo Jia felt very strange and disdainful of Xu Jing's behavior, but out of the need to appease people's hearts, he still called Xu Jing and his gang into his temporary mansion to meet them, set up a banquet to entertain them, and told them that they also had jobs in Wei State, so they didn't have to worry about running out of food.
Don't they care about that?
What's so hard about that?
Guo Jia met with them, then recorded their performance along with the list, and sent them to Luoyang to Guo Peng, asking Guo Peng to draw up how these people should serve.
Next, a group of officials from the original main battle faction also came to visit Guo Jia, and Zhang Song was the first to start.
According to Guo Jia's understanding over the years, he learned that Zhang Song was an important mouth cannon leader of the main battle faction.
Before the war, when the main surrender faction led by Xu Jing strongly demanded that Liu Zhang surrender without a fight, Zhang Song stepped forward when the soldiers of the main battle faction were defeated by the mouths of the soldiers of the main surrender faction.
He fought with his tongue, and sent the main surrender led by Xu Jing to fall off the horse one after another with his mouth cannon, and then launched an exciting mouth cannon decisive battle with Xu Jing.
The two debated in the court for an hour, and Xu Jing was about to foam at the mouth, and finally Zhang Song defeated Xu Jing with his younger and more flexible head, so Xu Jing was defeated and retreated.
It can be said that Liu Zhang can make up his mind to work with Guo Peng to this point, and Zhang Song has made great contributions.
He and his brother Zhang Su are important figures in the main battle faction, and these two people came to see Guo Jia, they don't have to think about it, they are here to ask for mercy and ask for a future official by the way.
Guo Jia is still very interested in what Zhang Song has to say.
He didn't need to meet everyone, he only needed to meet the most representative figures, and through the disposal of this person, he could convey what the Wei regime thought about all the former main battle factions in Shuzhong.
Zhang Song was a little apprehensive, but after seeing Guo Jia, he felt Guo Jia's kindness, so he relaxed a little.
Guo Jia was a little surprised, thinking that Zhang Song was short in stature, his appearance was not good, and he looked like an ordinary person, and he could actually fight the top of the Forbidden City with Xu Jing, a grandmaster-level mouth cannon, which was really interesting.
And Guo Jia didn't expect that Zhang Song would express his intentions straight to the point when he saw him, and he didn't do some small talk or anything to ease the atmosphere, which was really direct enough.
"I thought Zhang Jun would talk to me about something else first, instead of just telling me this kind of thing, Zhang Jun, you are really direct enough."
Guo Jia smiled.
Zhang Song smiled.
"It's already come to this situation, I'm here to beg for mercy, I hope Guo Fushu can say a few good words for me in front of His Majesty, at least, I want to live, I don't want to die."
Zhang Song lowered his posture very low, and his words were very thorough.
"That's interesting, Jun Zhang."
Guo Jia took a sip of the wine in Shu and said with a slight smile: "Since you don't want to die and want to live, then why do you want to support Liu Yuanjun to desperately resist my Majesty Wei Tianzi?" You should know that His Majesty has never been merciful to those who oppose him, especially with such a high level of resistance, which caused a lot of casualties to our army. ”
Zhang Song's face was a little pale, his body trembled slightly, he swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "As a minister, I should fulfill the responsibility of a minister, my brother and I are both officials promoted by Liu Yuanjun, and we must repay his kindness for Liu Yuanjun."
Doing such a thing is out of the position of the minister, and it is also what Liu Yuanjun himself wants to hear, we are just doing what we should do, doing our duty, this time, that time, Guo Fushu should be able to understand. ”
Guo Jia nodded.
"You're right, I understand that those who are ministers must do their duty, so I look down on Xu Jing for people who betray the Lord and seek glory."
Zhang Song's complexion was slightly better.
"However, Zhang Jun, you should also understand that your persistence has caused a lot of casualties to our army, and in order to calm the resentment of the army, Your Majesty is bound to take some people."
“……”
Zhang Song's face turned pale again.
After being quiet for a while, looking at Zhang Song's getting worse and worse complexion, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing.
???
Now Zhang Song is a little strange.
What is he laughing at? Laugh at me, I have a strong desire to survive, but I can't die well?
"Okay, okay, no kidding, Zhang Jun, this time you surrendered on your own initiative, not after being forcibly defeated and defeated, so Your Majesty will not go on a killing spree, but on the other hand, it is also necessary to punish you and make you pay some price."
Guo Jia handed over a bottom, Zhang Song's heart was relieved, and he gasped a few times in a row, as if he was the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
"What Guo Fushu said, really?"
Zhang Song was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, you won't kill people indiscriminately, otherwise I won't let all places start resuming production immediately, but punishment is also necessary, otherwise Your Majesty is suspected of unclear rewards and punishments, and it is difficult to convince the public, so don't even think about what rewards you want to get, what high-ranking officials and the like."
Guo Jia's tone was a little stern.
"Yes, this ...... We all know that. ”
Zhang Song said yes again and again.
It seems that it really won't kill anyone, which is great.
As for the official position or something...... It's important to be alive!
"Of course, that's all Your Majesty's business, how Your Majesty wants to punish you, I don't know, and I don't dare to say it to the end, I can't help it if you ask me."
Guo Jia took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "By the way, I heard that you had an argument with you about Xu Jing Lao'er at that time?" You tell me about the process, it's not easy for this old man to suffer. ”
It seemed that Guo Jia was very interested in that peak verbal battle, so Zhang Song immediately retold it, telling the fierce battle situation of the day, making Guo Jia quite immersive.
Coming out of Guo Jia's mansion, Zhang Song breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Back at home, Zhang Su had been waiting there for a long time, along with a group of officials from the main battle faction who had been very close in the past, and everyone was cautiously waiting for Zhang Song's news.
Zhang Song looked at them and took a deep breath.
"Punishment is indispensable, and high-ranking officials don't even think about it."
And all the hearts of the people were raised to their throats.
"But my life was saved."
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and began to smile on their faces, and their hearts were settled.
