"General, there is a Yingchuan man from outside the camp, saying that he has come to meet the general!"

A moment ago, Yanbei wanted to say something more to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but when he heard such a report from the soldiers outside the tent, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly touched Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the three of them: "In this way, the three of you go down and prepare, and I will drink with you in the evening and see you off!" ”

The three of them had their own minds to clench their fists and retreat, and Yan Bei turned his head to Chen Qun and said with a happy face: "Changwen, people are here!" ”

"No, no. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Qun said with a puzzled face: "If Xu Yuan comes directly, he should be led into the camp by Brother Ziyi, not to mention that those letters have just been sent to Yingchuan at this time...... Why didn't the general ask who it was? ”

As soon as Chen Qun's voice fell, the soldier outside the tent said: "He said that his name is Guo, what filial piety is Guo." ”

"It's him!" Chen Qun's expression on his face was very complicated, he was both excited and confused, and said to Yanbei: "Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao." ”

Yan Bei's eyes lit up.

Chen Qun reiterated that this name was tantamount to playing the piano to a cow for Yanbei, and Yanbei didn't know who this person was. But he knows what kind of person Chen Qun is, Yingchuan Chen, who is from a serious and famous family, and the people he interacts with are all talented and prestigious people. Since Chen Qun has heard of this person's name, he naturally will not be an ordinary person.

"Who is Guo Fengxiao?"

Hearing Yan Bei's question, Chen Qun showed a wry smile on his face and replied to Yan Bei: "Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao, he was far-sighted when he was young, and he also had a reputation for being a prodigal wreck. Earlier, he made a lot of rangers in his hometown, and he lived in seclusion a few years ago...... Now it seems that he knows that troubled times are coming. ”

"So is he talented? Forget it, this must be a talented person, otherwise he wouldn't have known about the chaos in the world a long time ago. Yan Bei is talking about Guo Jia, but he is thinking about himself. Hey, didn't he Yan Zhongqing also know that the world was going to be chaotic when he joined Zhang Chun's sect a few years ago. "I'll see you first, and then I'll send someone to invite him in!"

After Yan Bei said that, he sent someone to welcome the Yingchuan visitors outside the camp gate into the tent and bring them to him.

When the soldier who passed the message left, Yan Bei felt a little nervous for no reason, picked up the hood and put it down again, and asked Chen Qun while arranging his hair bun: "Changwen, you see that the armor on my body is in line with etiquette, how can I look more polite and virtuous?" ”

To be honest, this is the first time that this kind of strategist from Yingchuan has come to him, even if he doesn't know where the other party is coming from, but Chen Qun is very young, and obviously he will not be a virtuous and minister-type person with sufficient experience in governance...... If you say that a bright mind and far-reaching insight can help Yanbei.

That must be the Strategist.

Chen Qun saw Yan Bei's behavior like this, and just smiled: "The general is already a person who is a corporal of Lixian, so why should he make a special act of corporal Lixian?" And don't worry, Guo Fengxiao has long had a reputation for being a prodigal skeleton in Yingchuan, and I'm afraid he won't care too much about these mere actions. ”

"It's his business whether he cares or not, but whether he does it or not is my business." Yan Bei smiled, although he couldn't abolish his etiquette because others were dissolute and his personality changed, but there was no doubt that Chen Qun's words made him very useful, and his heart was a little more relaxed, he sat down upright behind the desk, and said neatly: "Then, just wait for him to come in." ”

Guo Jia came more slowly than Yanbei imagined, and he deliberately slowed down his pace in the camp, focusing his eyes on every corner of the huge camp that he could see.

He believed that to see a Taishou's talent was to look at his officials, but to see a general it was obvious that it was not necessary to observe his camp, but to see what kind of soldiers he brought out.

Before going to Luoyang, Guo Jia went to Bohai County, Jizhou under the escort of the township rangers, and lived for four months before meeting Yuan Shao, who withdrew from the Dong Alliance, and after a deep conversation, he did not think that Yuan Shao could succeed, so he planned to continue to return to his hometown to live in seclusion, waiting for the world to appear a lord who could let him serve.

He knew that Yuan Shao would definitely withdraw his troops, because everyone knew that after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the Kwantung princes had actually lost the war...... Continuing to advance westward is nothing more than vain and courageous, and it will not help.

However, when he traveled to Xingyang, he found that although Yuan Shao and other Kwantung princes withdrew, there were really a few madmen and fools in this world who insisted on marching westward, and even broke through the revolving gate pass and entered the 200-mile red land, garrisoning in Luoyang.

They are known as the new Tung Coalition Army, and they are also called the real Tung Coalition Army. Because throughout the war, these few of them led the soldiers and horses to fight in front...... They are completely different from Yuan Shao and others in the back.

Seemingly, there is no far-sighted ambition.

This is not the person Guo Jia wants to assist, but he really wants to see this Liaodong hero who almost single-handedly carries the banner of Dong Dajie, what is it all the way to the west.

When he saw all the mighty and majestic elites of Liaodong, Guo Jia saw the young Liao general sitting behind the case in the big tent of the Chinese army - Yan Bei, Yan Zhongqing.

Looking at the appearance, the world-famous General Du Liao and Guo Jianian are between the best of the best...... At such an age, it is indeed easy to do something to ask for Dong in the west, Guo Jia arched his hand dignifiedly: "Yingchuan Guo Jia, come here to visit the general." ”

"There is no need to be polite, please take a seat." Yan Bei looked at the young Han Shi in front of him who was the same age as himself, dressed up and just an ordinary person, but he didn't have any contempt in his heart...... The more humble the person, the more effort and talent required to reach each class, Yan Bei let go and said: "But I don't know why you came to Luoyang?" ”

"When traveling through Jizhou, Yuan Benchu, the leader of the Kwantung Alliance, had led his troops back to Bohai, and when he arrived in Xingyang, he heard that the general reorganized the coalition army to attack Hangu Pass, and when he went to Luoyang, he saw the camp to make siege ordnance...... Is the general going to retire? ”

This sentence may seem to others to be incompatible, but it caused Yan Bei to smile and ask, "How did you know that I was also going to retire?" ”

Only a few generals knew that he was going to withdraw from the army, even most of the sergeants and soldiers didn't know about it, thinking that rushing to control the siege ordnance was to attack Hangu on a large scale, and some were gearing up and some were mourning, how did Guo Jia know?

This is also what Guo Jia saw in the camp before, and it is precisely because of this that he feels that this trip is worthwhile.

But I heard Guo Jia confidently say: "The general's siege ordnance construction is a bit rushed, and it may not be useful to rush the car with fragile cypress wood." The huge camp is all on the defensive, the hoarding of horse manure outside the camp is piled up but not random, and there are many reeds in Luoshui, and it is enough to make a fire to make food...... The general is going to use horse manure as cooking smoke and secretly retreat from the army, right? ”

This Guo Jia is indeed a man of wisdom.

Yan Bei thought so, so he said: "Yes, Yan Mou is indeed going to withdraw from the army, if there is chaos today, if it continues, this battle will not be of any benefit to the world and Mou." ”

"Since the general understands this truth, why is he still confronting Hangu Pass here?"

"I'm waiting for the boat, I'm waiting for someone. To tell the truth, a few days ago, I asked my staff to send a message to my old friends in Yingchuan, hoping to win over some Yingchuan scholars before leaving, but I didn't want to come here today. Yan Bei said and laughed loudly: "So-and-so, someone should have been invited to come." ”

"Liaodong is far away, so we should recruit talents. But what does the general want them to do? ”

Yanbei felt that Guo Jia was taking the school examination himself, but it didn't look like he was going to defect, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, but in the end, it was the first Yingchuan person who came to visit him, he still had a great good impression and said: "Of course, it is with the help of their power to save the common people, and now there are two phases, Kansai is powerful but there are constraints from the imperial court, and the people of Kanto are mixed and people's hearts are different, and the world will fall into a long-term war. ”

Guo Jia smiled, not satisfied with Yan Bei's answer, and asked: "There are thousands of soldiers and horses under the general's command, if even the general can't be preserved like this, then who else can survive in the land of Kanto?" ”

"Yes, I have a lot of soldiers, but if I have more soldiers, will I be able to survive? Didn't Fengxiao see that once the imperial court coup d'état, the general who commanded the world's soldiers and horses died...... If it was true, the eunuch would have dumped his head on the land where he was now encamped. ”

Yan Bei said lightly, not as if he was proud of the large number of soldiers and horses under his command, and said slowly to Guo Jia: "Swords and fish meat, changes happen overnight, the winner has no reason to win, but the loser has a way to lose." If you can't plan ahead, you will inevitably feel panicked when you encounter an accident. My army is strong, so I must choose talented people to recruit people with lofty ideals...... What Yan wants is not to save his life for a while, but to save his life. ”

"If the general wants to save the ...... of the world" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and his body no longer sat upright, but changed to a more comfortable posture at will, and whispered to Yanbei: "It has nothing to do with the chaos in the world." ”

"What you said is very reasonable, and it really has nothing to do with the chaos in the world." Yan Bei nodded and replied: "If you want to live to the end, you have to be stronger than Dong Zhuo, better than everyone." ”

Stronger force than others, stronger financial resources than others, stronger intelligence than others. Troops, talents, and territory are all indispensable.

"Only at that time can Yan really not have to worry about how to save his life."

Guo Jia nodded slowly, he already had a general understanding of Yanbei, although it was not comprehensive, but it could already arouse the idea that he wanted to stay and see.

Although this General Yan did not say things like the general trend of the world that were more pleasing to the strategists, at least he had a clear enough judgment of the situation, and he had enough decisions in the few things he planned.

Such a person may not be able to succeed, because he only wants to be blindly strong but does not have enough ambitions, and lacks the lofty ambition to be strong in the world, so he will naturally be caught off guard in the changes in the world. As Yanbei said before, if you can't take precautions, you will inevitably panic.

So Guo Jia leaned forward and asked, "If the general is already strong in the world, what will he do next?" ”

After being the best in the world?

Yan Bei waved his hand as if he was smiling, as if this idea was incomparably far away, and gently spit out eight words.

"If I don't claim to be king, who will dare to dominate?"
