Xu He would not understand until he died whether he died because he was overestimating his own abilities or because he died in Gao Shun's camp's strong and bravery.
Guo Jia was unwilling to waste his words for him anymore. The Yizhou gentry was determined to shake the foundation of Guo Jia's rule from within the Taiping Army. Anyone with a little wise can see that Xu He was a chess piece that the Yizhou genius used a knife to kill people. However, Xu He, who was influenced by emotions and could not dominate his behavior, did not know who was the one who really forced him into a dead end until he died.
"Zhang Yan, Xu He's loyal soldiers are all killed. The soldiers who are willing to make contributions and atone for their sins will be incorporated into your army. After resting in Chengdu for three days, you will lead your army to Jiangyang County to stabilize the situation in the south. If the barbarians in the south want to take advantage of the situation, how do you deal with it?"
After Xu He was taken down and executed, Guo Jia sat back on the main seat. After a little calming down, he was already calm.
Zhang Yan stepped out and clasped his fists and said resolutely: "If the barbarians in the south dared to attack north, the last general would definitely let the opponent go without a return. If the army of more than 50,000 attacked, the last general would definitely turn the enemy thieves for thousands of miles."
Guo Jia doesn’t care whether these bold words are exaggerated, but what he wants is Zhang Yan’s passion!
Everyone in the hall also looked at Zhang Yan with admiration, at least this courage was enough to be admired.
The rebel leader Xu He has been dealt with, but there are some accomplices who are free from justice. So Xi Zhicai went out to ask Guo Jia how to treat the gentry and wealthy families who assisted Xu He from the side.
When Xi Zhi finished speaking, he returned, bowed his head and looked solemnly, and the hall was silent. Everyone held their breath and was waiting for Guo Jia's decision, because Guo Jia's words could determine the lives of thousands.
Rebellion is a crime that cannot tolerate death. Even if the criminal law is reduced, even if the three tribes are not implicated, the tribe of the parties involved will basically be unable to escape the disaster.
If they are treated with ease, they will damage Guo Jia's reputation. If they are punished severely, they may force the gentry and tycoons in the entire Yizhou to share the same hatred. This decision still has both pros and cons. If they are not handled carefully, there will be endless troubles.
After sitting in the main seat and pondering for a while, Guo Jia opened his mouth and said calmly: "The rebellious clans and gentry in Chengdu will kill the chief evil, and the followers will be temporarily imprisoned. The same is true for the gentry and gentry in other counties, so there is no need to kill them all."
The counselors led by Xi Zhicai frowned, but the generals were all indignant, as if they felt that such a punishment was too light.
Rebels should have died, and if their families are not caught in one place, they may cause trouble in the future.
However, when everyone saw that the opera calligraphy that Guo Jia had just asked for instructions did not leave the list, they all felt indignant.
Xi Zhicai weighed the pros and cons, and also guessed some of Guo Jia’s intentions.
At this moment, the gentry and wealthy clans in Yizhou must be nervously paying attention to the movements in Chengdu, seeing how Guo Jia will deal with the rebellious clan. Once Guo Jia intends to kill them all, they will surely be in danger and then rebel against Guo Jia. Guo Jia cannot forgive the rebels. After all, this is a rebellion, not a dispute over power and profit, but a life and death that depends on the killing of a war. Guo Jia must punish them, and only kill the evildoers and forgive the blood relatives in the clan who did not participate in the rebellion will make the Yizhou gentry and wealthy clans hesitate. If they are against or follow, they will have different opinions. As long as the gentry and wealthy clans in Yizhou cannot work together, even if they are to make trouble, there will not be too much trouble.
Everyone understood the process in detail when the defeat of Jingzhou was defeated, and the wariness that had just been put down was once again hung up. In the past, Jingzhou was a land without a border, but now, Liu Biao, a relative of the Han Dynasty, has risen to Jingzhou. Guo Jia, who is in Yizhou and has irreconcilable with the Han Dynasty, must take strict precautions.
There are strong enemies outside and hidden dangers inside. Guo Jia's strategy of winning the world must also be changed at this time. It is urgent to stabilize the internal situation and eliminate hidden dangers.
Guo Jia, who had just rushed back to Chengdu, asked everyone to go down and rest first. The road had to be taken step by step. First, let Zhang Yan lead his army to Jiangyang County to stabilize, and then explore the movements of Zhang Baiqi. No matter what Guo Jia wants to do, the army must be completely controlled by himself, and there will be no chaos here.
After the civil and military salute, they left in an orderly manner. Guo Jia looked at the blood flow on the floor in the hall and was stunned. After a long time, he got up and put on a cloak and walked out.
"Go to Cai Mansion."
Under the escort of Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi, Guo Jia came to the gate of Cai’s mansion. The gate was wide open, and Guo Jia didn’t ask anyone to send messages. He raised his legs and crossed the threshold and walked inward.
Diao Chan, who was playing with Guo Ye in the yard, suddenly saw Guo Ye running out, calling him dad, turned around and took a look, her beautiful eyes widened, and a surprise was contained in it.
Facing his son who was running around, Guo Jia was afraid that he would fall, so he leaned over and opened his hands to pick him up, put on his son's face and kissed him. Amid Guo Ye's laughter, Guo Jia walked towards the house.
Diao Chan gave Guo Jia a shy salute, and did not dare to lift his head. The white and tender face was red. When Guo Jia passed by her, he reached out and pinched her face and smiled, "Diao Chan, take care of Ye'er, you are tired."
Although Guo Jia has never taken care of the child, he feels too big when he thinks about it.
Diao Chan shook her head slightly and touched the cheek that was pinched by Guo Jia. It was so hot.
"Young master is smart and well-behaved, and I am not tired at all. But I heard that you are suffering from the cold, and I don't know if it's better..."
At the end, Diao Chan's voice was only heard by herself.
Guo Jia held his son, turned his head and stared at Diao Chan who didn't dare to look at him. He bounced his fingers on her hanging forehead. When Diao Chan covered her forehead and raised her head aggrievedly, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Has I become ugly?"
Diao Chan blinked, looked at Guo Jia seriously with a red face, and finally began to lower her head and shake it.
Guo Jia pinched her chin with laughter and cry, and her hands felt comfortable and tender, and asked helplessly: "Then why don't you dare to look at me when you speak? Did you hear that I'm killing again? I'm scared? You weren't like this before."
Diao Chan suddenly shook her head and ran towards the backyard with her face covering her face. The voice from the wind was filled with an incomprehensible crying voice.
"The general is very nice to me, and I admire the general from the bottom of my heart, but I am an ominous person..."
The monk was confused, Guo Jia was stunned, and Diao Chan, who covered her face and fled, left a beautiful figure, but made Guo Jia feel a little broken.
Cai Yan, who was leaning against the door of the big house, smiled and laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth when he saw Guo Jia's confused expression.
He walked up with his son in his arms and put Guo Ye down in the house. Guo Jia asked Cai Yan: "Has Yu Ji and Zuo Ci calculated her fortune? It seems that this is the first time I heard her say that she is an ominous person. What's wrong with her?"
As soon as Guo Jia sat down in the room, he suddenly looked up at Cai Yan and asked, "Where is your father?"
This is the second time Guo Jia came to Cai’s Mansion. The first time he came to help Cai’s family settle down, but he never came since then. After all, he was afraid that Cai Yong would stare at him with his beard and look like he met his enemies.
He personally brewed tea and poured water to Guo Jia. Cai Yan pulled Guo Ye, who was unwilling to let go, sat opposite Guo Jia, and said softly: "My father, mother, Taoist Zuo and others have gone to Mount Emei. After drinking this cup of tea, you can leave."
Guo Jia, who was drinking tea in one gulp, wanted to spit all the tea back, and the fragrance between his lips and teeth was immediately boring. The love words he thought of racked his brains were all ruined by Cai Yan's attitude of seeing off guests.
It is said that a small separation is better than a newlywed. Since the rebellion, Guo Jia has not been able to get together with Cai Yan one day. After the family reunited in Chengdu, Guo Jia did not want to see Cai Yong's old face, so she often only met Cai Yan for half a month, and Cai Yan secretly ran out of her home, making it like an affair.
This is rare for the old couple Cai Yong and the couple are not at home. Guo Jia also came back from Jingzhou. After the business was handled, they came to see their wife. However, they did not expect that Cai Yan would take her off without any slutching.
In fact, Guo Jia also knew that Cai Yan had a good intention and wanted him to visit Zhen Jiang first, but he understood the ideas and principles, but Guo Jia just felt a little unhappy.
Standing up and tidying his clothes, Guo Jia curled his lips with anger, "Wife, I will put my words here today, what is the real wife or the concubine, I don't see that difference. You insist on bringing the rules to your home, and you can do whatever you want. I marry my wife and go home to be harmonious, not to show off who I, Guo Jia, and I can't control what others think. I, Guo Jia, don't see my status, my family, it depends on the feelings, who can't stand it, who thinks I have treated her badly, and you can get out of here. I don't want to marry a wife and get back with a lot of rules and trouble."
After saying that, Guo Jia raised his legs and left, but someone grabbed his legs from behind. He turned his head and looked back. Guo Ye hugged his legs pitifully, as if he had just gotten angry and scared his son. Guo Jia bent down and picked him up, and said to Cai Yan without looking back: "I don't welcome me, I'll go, my son will stay with me for a few days first."
Cai Yan always watched Guo Jia leave with a faint smile. After Guo Jia left, he shook his head and murmured softly: "You don't take secular ethics seriously, but I'm afraid. People's hearts are hard to measure and the sea water is hard to measure. There are so many women who are interested in you. I also hope that the family is peaceful, so I have to give in everywhere."
Although Guo Jia was holding his son and walked out of Cai’s mansion, he was a little regretful when he left the Cai’s mansion. Cai Yan was very determined to hope that Guo Jia would not be favored by the other person. What’s the man who said harsh words to her? Moreover, Cai Yan’s starting point was also good, because she wanted Guo Jia to be at peace in the backyard.
"Ye'er, is dad a bad guy?" Guo Jia asked Guo Ye, who was flattering his mouth.
His little face showed a serious expression. Guo Ye's head was sharp. Guo Jia kissed him and whispered to him: "When you go back to your mother and say good things to your father, is it okay?"
Guo Ye turned his head and ignored Guo Jia.
Guo Jia, who was laughing, had no choice but to do anything about him. There was no chance to save the country on the verge of silence. Let's find an opportunity to talk to Cai Yan calmly. Everyone understands people, how can this little bit of a knot be solved?
