Piao Astronomy    Chapter 47 Set an example
Ma Wan, Yang Qiu and Li Kan and the other two faced Guo Jia's actions with swords were bloodless, but Cheng Gongying's expression was as usual and eating and drinking as usual, as if nothing Guo Jia did had any effect on him.
Seeing the reactions of these four people, Guo Jia put down the sword.
Not to mention whether there are still people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, even if they are loyal ministers who are dedicated to supporting the Han Dynasty in Xuchang, they still have to wave their tails to beg for mercy on Cao Cao?
What's more, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu and Li Kan are all warlords from the northwest. In the past, they dared to make trouble by gathering tens of thousands of people in small matters. They live without the integrity of not being betrayal. In this chaotic world, what they pursue is nothing more than living better and nourishing life, rather than striving for others and ideals.
The three of them were trembling and couldn't figure out whether Guo Jia was testing them or what they wanted. The power to kill or not was in Guo Jia's hands.
Yang Qiuqiang raised his smile, his hands trembled slightly, and asked, "Where did you start with me? We are willing to surrender. In the past, we offend the envoy and collide with the envoy. That is because we have no eyes. We can punish me, but there is no need to fight and kill, right?"
After hearing this, Guo Jia stood up with a smile, picked up the wine glass and walked around the hall, stood at Cheng Gongying's table and looked at Yang Qiu, and said with a smile: "If you are willing to serve me, of course I will not refuse people thousands of miles away. I think people must be self-aware. If my words below are wrong, please bear with me."
Yang Qiu and his friends quickly raised their cups and said to Guo Jia: "I just say it's okay, I will listen carefully."
Picking up the wine pot from Cheng Gongying's table and filling his cup, Guo Jia slowly paced in the hall, his tone and his voice softly.
"If I wait, my dream of this life is to live comfortably. When will the killing come and go? I think about calculating others and beware of others. How much care should I be to not be exhausted? Haha, when you wait for me, I will arrange for you to be a lieutenant when you take the initiative to be a lieutenant? You must have this ability. Don't think that the official is small, think about it from another perspective. It's peaceful. Spend two or three hours a day in the military camp to practice military training. You should drink the rest of the time.
It is time to go home and sleep with your wives and concubines, just indulge in joy. If you encounter a war in a mess, you will have a place to use your skills. Kill the generals and kill the enemy and make contributions. Not to mention your life, your family business will be made, right? I am not arrogant. Who in the world dares to come to war with me openly? Cao Cao? If he dares to come to Hangu Pass, I will dare to enter Xuchang in one go! Everyone, let me introduce the young people sitting opposite me."
Guo Jia stopped at Dianman's table and reached out and said, "His name is Dianman. His father is my capable general Dian Wei. The two next to him are Xu Yi and Gan Gui. Their fathers are Xu Chu and the other is Gan Ning who is now in Wuwei City. Eilai, Zhongkang and Xingba followed me for twenty years. Today, the three are compared to the three of them twenty years ago. Haha, you should understand what I mean. Under my hands, as long as you don't neglect your duties, you will definitely live a good life."
After listening to it, Yang Qiu and the other two looked at each other. They were not fools, and they could hear the profound meaning of Guo Jia's words.
It is one thing for them to surrender, and it is another thing for them to betray them.
The reason why Guo Jia said this was to outline a stable future for them and to indirectly remind them that as for the consequences of betrayal, there is really no need to say it.
Zhang Baiqi and Guo Jia entered Yizhou. What would be the consequence of betrayal?
All three clans were destroyed, and they all died in front of Zhang Baiqi's eyes, one by one.
In fact, the current situation has exceeded Yang Qiu and the other two expectations.
They thought the worst outcome was to be beheaded and displayed in public. The better is to die in prison. The best situation was to be taken by Guo Jia to continue to work hard.
But now Guo Jia holds a banquet to receive them, and personally persuades them to surrender. He has even imagined a safe and beautiful life for them. As a defeated general, what else can they expect?
"The sinners are willing to go through fire and water for the envoys."
Yang Qiu and the other two quickly expressed their opinions, looking flattered.
Guo Jia smiled faintly, raised his hand casually to signal them to avoid the gift, and slowly walked to the main position.
There was one person who did not express his opinion, Cheng Gongying.
He only ate and drank in his own position, as if he was turning a blind eye to his affairs.
After chatting with them for a few words, Guo Jia asked them to go down first and live in the military camp for the time being. The detailed arrangements will be made in the future.
Looking at the four people leaving, Guo Jia waved to Guo Ye.
Dianman Xu Yi Gangui left one by one, Guo Ye walked up to Guo Jia and asked, "What's wrong with my father?"
Guo Jia sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, and said in a cold tone: "Go and explore Cheng Gongying's tone, will he be willing to surrender to me?"
Guo Ye frowned. He knew Cheng Gongying's attitude, so he asked tentatively: "Father, whether this person surrenders or not is irrelevant to the overall situation, right?"
In Guo Ye's view, Han Sui's defeat is inevitable, and even if Cheng Gongying returns to Han Sui, it is impossible to turn the tide.
But Guo Jia opened his eyes, his eyes ignorant of the previous casual and gentleness, but instead he was solemn and cold.
"Whether it doesn't matter, think about it!"
Guo Ye quickly lowered his leader and stepped back and left the door.
Staring at Guo Ye's back, Guo Jia sighed softly.
"Ye'er, your road is still long."
Because Guo Jia did not deliberately make things difficult for Yang Qiu and others, the four of them had separate tents in the military camp. Cheng Gongying was about to rest as soon as he was taken into the tent. This half month made him exhausted both physically and mentally and could not get angry at all.
But Guo Ye walked in at this time. Cheng Gongying stopped when he was about to take off his clothes, bowed to Guo Ye in a regular manner and said, "Why are you visiting Mr. Ye?"
Guo Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency makes it difficult for me to do it. You are unwilling to serve my father, but my father seems to value you very much."
Cheng Gongying turned around and gently spread the quilt, saying, "It's not that you value me, but that you hope that I can surrender. Maybe you won't ask me for my name again afterwards, and you will even throw me away in the blink of an eye."
After saying this, Guo Ye was confused.
If Guo Jia hadn't taken a fancy to Cheng Gongying's talent, why did he ask for his advice?
But Cheng Gongying had already guessed the reason for this.
"Can you guess my father's thoughts?"
Guo Ye asked in surprise.
Cheng Gongying turned around and sat on the bed, laughed at herself and said, "So what if I can guess it? But Mr. Ye, your expression seems to want to break the pot and ask the end, why is this?"
Guo Ye sat on the ground and said without hiding it: "I'm not hiding it to you, eight years ago, my father entered Guanzhong and I was led by my father. One of my teachers said that if I could see through all the layout of my father in Guanzhong, I would benefit for life. But eight years have passed, and I have studied the complex situation and process of Guanzhong back then, but now I can't touch the purpose of my father's actions, which makes me feel deeply ashamed."
Cheng Gongying looked at Guo Ye and looked up and down. He saw that Guo Ye admired Guo Jia very much. He was a normal person. His son was honored by his father. Especially with a successful father. As a son, he wanted to surpass him. Even if he could not be criticized for being a tiger father or a dog son.
"Young Master Ye, you are too impatient. At your age, there are no more people in the world who can be better than you. Life experience and experience cannot be obtained overnight. People like your father, if you give him ten years, he will be very strong. If you give him twenty years, he will be invincible. If you give him thirty years, he will be hard to meet. If you want to learn from him, at least ten years will be another ten years."
Guo Ye frowned slightly and scratched his head, "My teacher told me what you said, but I want to keep up with my father's thinking rhythm. From your tone, it seems that I guess my father's intention to recruit you. It's better to say it out and let me hear it, and see if you are bluffing or really predicting things like God."
"Aggressive? Haha. Mr. Ye, this kind of thing is said. Your father has countless capable people. If you ask someone casually, you may have guessed your father's thoughts. But I am a friend of you, so it is not difficult to let me speak. But before I say it, I want to ask Mr. Ye, don't you think it is very abnormal to send me and four prisoners personally to receive me?"
Cheng Gongying sat by the bed, looking down at Guo Ye sitting on the ground.
Guo Ye frowned even deeper, but in fact he felt something was wrong.
Yang Qiuma played with the four prisoners of Li Kancheng and Gongying, and Guo Jia had no need to come to receive him in person or surrender himself.
If you surrender, then you surrender. If you don’t surrender, no one will feel sorry for slashing with one knife.
Besides, Guo Jia also said in person that after Yang Qiu and his men were surrendered, they would become the first battalion's lieutenant. Guo Jia had more than 300,000 soldiers. Will he come to recruit a few small officials who commanded two thousand people?
If things are impermanent, there will be demons. If Guo Jia acts abnormally, he will definitely have other intentions.
However, Guo Ye couldn't guess what the purpose was, and Yang Qiu and others would not have any impact on the overall situation in the northwest.
I don't have the ability to make trouble.
"This? I can't guess what my father intended."
Guo Ye lowered his head in frustration, and he was really disappointed.
Cheng Gongying closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Young Master Ye, I am doing this for the people of the world. The northwest is already in the bag. The next step is that the envoy will naturally prepare for the advancement eastward."
Guo Ye suddenly looked up and suddenly realized.
He blurted out: "I understand. Father is the one who opened the door and prepared to welcome the surrender."
Cheng Gongying nodded heavily.
Under Guo Jia's command, there were few surrendered generals, and there were almost no except Wu Yi.
On the contrary, Cao Cao was famous for recruiting surrenders and rebels.
What Guo Jia wants to create now is to be tolerant and employ people. He wants Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan to see how he treats the enemy and how he treats surrendered generals.
If the Northwest is slaughtered, then it is conceivable that no one will be willing to surrender when Guo Jia comes, especially after surrendering, he will not only lose his wealth and honor, but even his life cannot be saved.
Therefore, when conquering the northwest, Guo Jia wanted to kill Han Sui, but he had to recruit enemy generals as much as possible and give them a better treatment, and set them up as role models for the people of the world.
