On the official road to Zhongshan Kingdom.

Guo Jia rode the Xiliang war horse and followed the carriage slowly, looking like he was normal, but in fact, his heart was extremely shocked, like a stormy wave.

With his eyesight and insight, he could almost see that in the caravan, except for the seventy servants, the other more than thirty people rode the war horses on the horses of Xiliang.

An ordinary caravan is just more than thirty Xiliang war horses, what does this mean, as long as you are not a fool, you can think that this group of people is extremely not simple.

Is Guo Jia a fool, obviously not.

If he is a fool, there are still a few people in the Han world who can be called smart.

Therefore, Guo Jia couldn't help but be suspicious, and cautiously looked at Zheng Feng and his party, his movements were extremely hidden, he didn't turn his head to look around, and only looked at it without a trace from the corner of his eye.

Yesterday, he hurried repeatedly, and by chance met Zheng Feng, Li Zhong and Yun Luo. At that time, he didn't think much about it, nor did he deliberately observe each other, thinking that they were all passers-by, so why should he look at people with colored eyes wherever he went. Coincidentally, Zheng Feng and others are extremely enthusiastic, righteous and squandering, and informal, such people are very compatible with Guo Jia's own character. So he suddenly had a good impression of Zheng Feng, and he did not hide his name, nor did he vaguely or hide it during the conversation. In addition, his career was frustrated, he didn't know anyone, and he mistakenly joined Yuan Shao's command, but instead of being able to show his talent and ambition, he suffered a lot of white eyes and humiliation. When he was depressed in his heart, he met a cheerful and straightforward person like Zheng Feng, which was really a blessing in life.

So under Zheng Feng's intentional guidance, Guo Jia acted casually, answered all questions, and talked eloquently. As a result, he was negligent and "deceived".

After some conversation. Guo Jia almost explained his life history and current situation clearly, but he failed to find out the background and identity of Zheng Feng and others, only knew the names of Zheng Feng and the others, and that's it. This is undoubtedly an extremely absurd thing for Guo Jia, who has always been shrewd, and it can even be said to be incredible. It wasn't until he woke up early in the morning that he suddenly realized, but he regretted it too late, he had already boarded the "thief ship" and couldn't get out.

Early this morning. Just when Guo Jia was sleeping soundly, Li Zhong, who had been drinking with him last night, pushed the door in, woke him up from the bed, and asked him to write a letter to his mother who was far away in Yingchuan. Guo Jia, who slept in a daze, was immediately woken up. He was about to refuse, but he saw several big men at the door with two entourages who had been with him all year round. Both of these retinues are his own family. Know his roots. At the beginning, he took these two people to Yuan Shao's command together.

Seeing such a scene, if Guo Jia still can't understand it, then he is really a fool. Obviously, even without his handwritten letters, Li Zhong could have sent someone with his two retinues to find his mother in Yingchuan and forcibly take her away. That's it. Instead of making his mother frightened, he personally handed a letter to these people so that they could pick her up smoothly.

After writing the letter, Guo Jia knew that he was finished. Inexplicably got on the thief ship, and still don't know who this group of "robbers" is and where they want to take themselves.

Such absurd things made Guo Jia, who was conceited and intelligent, and had a talent for helping the world, difficult to accept for a while, and his mind was buzzing and muddy. It wasn't until Miss Yunluo knocked on the door and invited him to have breakfast that he gradually came back to his senses and tried to call the beautiful woman who was Yunluo, but unexpectedly the people looked at him with great displeasure, and without saying a word, he brushed his sleeves away. Seeing this, Guo Jia was bored, so he had to eat a few mouthfuls of food hastily, and then followed the Hu Cong at the door to the backyard caravan.

As soon as he walked into the backyard, Guo Jia suddenly had an illusion, feeling as if he had walked into a heavily guarded baggage camp. The big men who had already set up the carriage looked at him with extremely sharp eyes; Just this glance made him feel like he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and suddenly his whole body trembled, keenly aware of the cold murderous aura on these big men, they must have been on the battlefield for a long time. Kill countless fierce warriors. Especially the two tall men who were too tall, their eyes seemed to be plain, but they invisibly put huge pressure on him, making him feel suffocated and breathless.

It wasn't until Zhen's mother and daughter walked into the backyard that Guo Jia felt a lot more relaxed. The fierce men did not continue to stare at him, but approached the six members of the Zhen family with a smile and made a great show of courtesy.

However, Guo Jia is Guo Jia after all. After the sudden upheaval, he quickly adjusted his mentality, thought calmly, listened more and talked less, and waited for the development of the situation in response to all changes. Because he was sure of one thing in his heart, that is, Zheng Feng tried every means to trick himself into staying, definitely not to harm him, but for another purpose.

Therefore, when he saw Zheng Feng coming late, he greeted Zheng Feng as usual, still talking and laughing like last night, and did not change at all.

However, Guo Jia didn't notice that the more he was like this, the more Li Li quickly noticed his abnormal and drastic change in mentality.

"Da Da Da!"

On the official road, when Guo Jia was carefully observing the caravan, Li Li was also observing him intentionally or unintentionally. Immediately, Li Li rode to Guo Jia's side, walked side by side with him, and fell behind the caravan: "Does Feng Xiao feel very abnormal that there are so many Xiliang war horses in the caravan?" In fact, the matter is very simple, these people are my accompanying escorts on my travels, yesterday on the mountain road encountered the Zhen family caravan was robbed by the Montenegrin thieves, so I rescued them, and then my guards escorted the caravan to Zhongshan along the way. ”

"Oh, I see." Guo Jia nodded happily and said: "It seems that Brother Wenchang's family is very wealthy, and there are so many fierce guards along the way to protect them when they go out, and the war horses under them are all Xiliang's high-quality war horses, and the weapons they hold are also very sophisticated. It can be seen that Brother Wenchang's mansion is not rich but expensive, and it should be a famous nobleman! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li shook his head with a smile and said, "Feng Xiao's words are only half right. I am a native of Beidi County, Liangzhou, born in a common family, my father died early when I was a child, and my mother followed my father when I was ten years old. I have been dependent on my brother since I was a child, but fortunately, my uncle treated me and my brother as if they were his own, and raised them as adults. At the age of fifteen, I joined the army and have been fighting ever since. At the age of sixteen, he was promoted to Sima of other departments, and since then he has led a battalion of men and horses to fight in the east and west. The battle is endless. Therefore, some people say that I am belligerent and militaristic; Some people say that I am murderous, bloodthirsty and violent; Others say that I am disloyal, unfilial, treacherous and cunning. In short, no matter what others think of me, I am still me, and I have never changed.

I have been fighting for several years, but I have never traveled to the north and south of the country, and this time I took advantage of my leisure. Get out and about. Take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of our Han nation, and by the way, go deep into the people to see the customs and customs of various places, which can not only increase knowledge, but also observe the changes in the situation in various states and counties. But now I can't help myself, and my life is no longer mine. It's directly related to the future of my subordinates, so I don't want to bring the guards with me. Go alone. Why didn't the soldiers under his command and his wife and concubine refuse to agree. So, the kind of scene that Feng Xiao sees now is very ostentatious, but fortunately, there is also the Zhen family caravan as a cover, which can somewhat block the sight of some people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Explained this way. I don't know if Feng Xiaoke is still satisfied, can I let go of my heart? ”

"Huh?" Listening to Li Li's indifferent expression and explain the reason, Guo Jia was shocked, and couldn't help but look at Li Li again. His expression gradually returned to normal. After pondering for a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Wenchang deceived the little brother so hard!" When I woke up this morning, I thought I was in prison and my life was short. Immediately afterwards, he was coerced to write a letter to his family, and his mother could not escape the tiger's mouth. At that time, the younger brother was almost desperate in his heart, complaining that Brother Wenchang was such a bright and upright person who did such a dirty thing, and it was not enough to deceive me, and he even held my mother hostage. Now that I have listened to Brother Wenchang's words, I have woken up from a big dream, and I can finally live without fear and fear!

Brother Wenchang is really Brother Wenchang, acting strangely, making people unguardable, and inadvertently earning me into the urn, but I don't know it. It is said that Xiliang Wenchang Gong acted treacherously, unexpectedly, and resourcefully, and counted as exhaustive; Before that, I had been dismissive, and it was not until I experienced it myself that I suddenly repented and realized that what I said was true. After receiving the teaching, Brother Wenchang acted both soft and hard, which really made Guo worship! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed disappreciatively: "Okay, Fengxiao doesn't need to be both boastful and sarcastic, you just want to show that I am not acting above board enough, holding you hostage and intimidating you, and forcing you to comply." To tell you the truth, I love filial piety very much, and I prefer your frank and straightforward character, so it is inappropriate to rush it. But I do appreciate the talent of filial piety, which you must also understand, so although the means are not bright, it shows that a sincere invitation to filial piety. If you do not give up your filial piety, I will appoint you as the wine sacrifice for General Wei's Mansion and serve as the right army division. I don't know what to do with filial piety? ”

"This 、、、、、、" Guo Jia was stunned, his expression changed drastically, and a hint of surprise appeared on his cheeks, but he tried his best to hide it.

After a while, he forcibly calmed down and asked respectfully: "I heard earlier that Xiliang has a saying that 'Shuangli don't drive a think tank', I wonder if Brother Wenchang can solve his doubts in Xia?" ”

Li Li keenly observed Guo Jia's expression and said with a smile: "What Feng Xian said is a saying that spread to the states and counties of the Central Plains last year, that is, my three major strategists in Xiliang. Shuangli don't drive, that is, Zuo don't drive Li Xuan, the character Yuanzhong, is the first outstanding person to follow me, and is now responsible for all the ordnance, money, food and government affairs in Xiliang; Don't drive Li Ru on the right, the character is excellent, he was Dong Xiangguo's think tank earlier, and is now in charge of military affairs and palace affairs. A think tank is our military division Jia Xu, the word and the word, when I was still Wuwei Taishou, he was loyal to me, and since then he has been conscientious and strategic, and the pacification of the Chang'an Rebellion is from his plan. At present, he is appointed as the driver of Yongzhou, acting as the pastor of Yongzhou, and is in charge of the military and politics of Yongzhou. ”

Guo Jia's eyes moved, and he continued: "In this way, Mr. Li Zhong, who was following Zhen's car in front, should be Li Xuan and Li Yuanzhong of the current Chang'an Shangshuling." It's just that since then, isn't Chang'an City very empty, isn't the general worried about the changes in Chang'an? ”

Li Li bowed his head slightly and said, "What Feng Xiao said is good. Now Chang'an City is in the hands of my uncle Li Dao, who has full authority to sit in the court and handle political affairs. Wen You and Yuan Zhong focused on the government affairs of Chang'an Sanfu and Sili counties, and the soldiers, horses and wars were controlled by the general's mansion. Therefore, compared to the two states of Yongliang, most of the affairs in Chang'an City are in the hands of my uncle. Because of this, my uncle will be more attentive, in the past two years, the political situation in Chang'an has been stable, Xiliang has developed rapidly, and all affairs have been advancing in an orderly manner. ”

"I see. It seems that the people of the world have a wrong view of General Li Dao, who is commendable and meritorious in leading troops to fight wars and handling political affairs. Guo Jia said happily. Then he asked solemnly: "I don't know what the general has about the hidden danger of Xiliang mentioned last night, can there be a way to deal with it?" ”

Li Li smiled knowingly: "Feng Xiao's words last night were really deafening, his vision was extremely accurate, based on the long-term, and his analysis was not bad at all. But I have my own plans for this matter, and Feng Xiao doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Sigh!

After hearing Li Li's words, Guo Jia immediately stopped his horse, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and bowed: "Guo Jia in Xiayingchuan, the word is filial piety, meet the lord!" From now on, my subordinates will obey the drive of the lord and will not regret it until death! ”

"Why bother so much courtesy, please get up quickly!"

Seeing Guo Jia so solemnly dismount and bow down, Li Li hurriedly stopped at his horse, flew off the horse, and said with Guo Jia's arm in his arms.

"Since ancient times, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and the ceremony cannot be abolished, please accept Guo Jia's bowing ceremony!" After speaking, Guo Jia broke free from Li Li's arm and insisted on completing the three knocks.

After Guo Jiali finished, Li Li leaned over to help him up and said, "Feng Xiao is really a righteous man!" I, Li Li, can be helped by filial piety, why worry about the failure of big things, and the troubled times are uneven! ”

While speaking, Li Li personally helped Guo Jia to get on the horse, and then jumped on the back of the horse and walked forward with Guo Jia.

"I heard Yun Luo say that Huan Fei, Xu Chu and others made Feng Xiao quite frightened this morning, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"Huh?" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "The lord knows so soon." It is ashamed to say that his subordinates are conceited and well-informed, but they have never seen such a majestic and tall tiger general as the previous generals, and they are murderous and terrifying. I don't know who these people are, please teach the Lord? ”

Li Li smiled and said with a smile: "What about words and teaching, Feng Xiaochu came to my command, and he is not familiar with them, which is a reasonable thing." The four people in front are Huan Fei, Li Zhi, Xu Chu and Chen Dao, all of whom are my Xiliang generals, although they are not famous at the moment, but sooner or later they will shine. Hehehe! ”
