Chapter 36: The Sinner

After Mi Zhu left, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai looked at Guo Jia tied with a rope and asked uncertainly: "Will Mi Zhu invite Tao Qian?"
Although Guo Jia was tied up, he was already holding his head up and his chest was raised, and his graceful demeanor did not diminish at all. He smiled and said in a faint smile: "Do you think Mi Zhu can't see your and my plans?"
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were shocked. Gan Ning stared at Guo Jia wide and asked, "Did Mi Zhu guess that we wanted to hijack Tao Qian?"
Nodded slightly, Guo Jia said, "If he can't guess, he will not be Mi Zizhong. However, he will obediently invite Tao Qian to you and me."
Zhou Tai was suspicious. If Mi Zhu had insight into Guo Jia's plan, would he still be fooled?
"Little Grandpa, can you solve my doubts?"
Guo Jia twisted his neck and was really not used to being tied up. After a while, he said, "Mi Zhu has only three choices now. First, urging Tao Qian to kill me. Tao Qian loves to be talented and may not be willing to listen. If he comes to persuade surrender personally, Mi Zhuyang will expose his hypocritical disobedience and he will be in trouble. This step is a dangerous chess. Second, tell Tao Qian what you and I plan. Tao Qian will still come to persuade him to surrender after being prepared. After all, he has thousands of troops on his side, and it is no problem to protect himself. If so, we will really surrender Tao Qian and Xuzhou scholars.
The clan generals made the worse. This step was a foolish move. Third, convince Tao Qian to come forward and create opportunities for me to hijack Tao Qian. He even hoped that we would kill Tao Qian, and then the Xuzhou gentry united to submit to the court to bribe a provincial governor or elect a provincial governor. The Xuzhou gentry regained power. Even if we did not kill Tao Qian, Mi Zhu would not suffer too much. After all, Tao Qian was eager to subdue the powerful generals. This step was a killing situation. Do you think Mi Zhu would choose? "
Wealth and honor are in danger, and Gan Ning Zhou Tai doesn't need to think too much about it. Mi Zhu will choose to promote the killing situation. As long as Tao Qian dies, Tao Qian's achievements in leading the Danyang soldiers to quell the rebellion and suppression of bandits in Xuzhou will disappear. The court will be impatient to sell the Xuzhou masters at a high price. Even the gentry who had just been cheered up in the court will do their best to promote the Xuzhou gentry to regain power.
Just when Guo Jia asked Gan Ning and Zhou Tai to tie him up to a strong position, he and Mi Zhu had already tacitly understood what would happen next.
A steady footsteps came, and Guo Jia and the other two looked out of the court and saw a middle-aged general in armor stalking towards him.
As soon as the general saw Guo Jia, he immediately bowed and said loudly: "The last general is ordered to come to investigate the situation in the mansion."
After saying that, the general walked to Guo Jia, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were ready to go. If this person had any abnormal movement, he would be shot dead on the spot.
However, the man came to Guo Jia and knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Little Taigong, the name of the Mo General is Zhang Kai, who was once a young general under the General of the Earth. After the defeat in Luoyang, General Duke died in battle. The Mo General led the other brothers to escape everywhere and lived in panic in Xuzhou. Recently, he was forced to surrender Tao Gongzu. General Duke kept talking about the Mo General about the Xiaogong during his lifetime, and repeatedly told him that if he was desperate in the future, he could go to Xiaogong and leave."
Guo Jia and the other two were stunned. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai did not expect that Guo Jia had any relationship with Taiping Road and could be deeply in love with General Zhang Bao of the Earth.
Guo Jia was trapped in memories. He met and met in Yecheng a few years ago. Zhang Jiao treated him sincerely and Zhang Bao respected him sincerely. Only Zhang Liang was extremely complicated to him, sometimes sincere and sometimes guarded.
well
After awakening from the memories, Guo Jia sighed, the Yellow Turban was defeated, but he also killed all the last energy of the Han Dynasty.
"Where are you holding any position in Xuzhou now?" Guo Jia asked lightly.
Zhang Kai stood up and replied in a deep voice: "The General of the Mo is now a lieutenant, and he obeys the orders under Cao Bao. Now the young master is in danger. If he needs the General of the Mo, he will never refuse by ordering him."
Seeing Zhang Kai's swearing expression, Guo Jia asked in surprise: "Why is this? You and I are not close friends, why do you have to take risks?"
His expression became a little heavy, and Zhang Kai said in a muffled voice: "If General Di Gong had not saved me in the wilderness, Zhang Kai would have starved to death long ago. General Di Gong said that the young Taigong was a noble man from Taipingdao, and we should repay him wholeheartedly."
Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile and said in a stern voice: "But in the end, it's a failure, it's a failure."
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai couldn't understand what Guo Jia was saying, and their expressions were weird, so they couldn't connect Guo Jia with Taipingdao.
After all, when Guo Jia became famous all over the world, he did not rely on some good names to help the people, nor was he circulated with literary and literary style and poetry. Instead, Changshe burned 10,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army, and even the terrifying Bo Cai, who was famous at that time, was buried.
Why did the Yellow Turban Remnants seem to be grateful to Guo Jia in the end?
The two couldn't figure it out, so Guo Jia did not hide it and told him truthfully about his relationship with Taipingdao.
"What?! Is it your strategy to force the imperial city with 600,000 soldiers?"
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning were shocked and couldn't help but step back a few steps. Gan Ning even pointed at Guo Jia and asked sternly: "Guo Jia, I have made suggestions for the Yellow Turban thieves, intending to subvert the Han Dynasty. Do you know how many people in the world have separated their wives and children and their families have been destroyed due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"
"Wenxiao, why do you want to help the Yellow Turbans mess the world?" Zhou Tai looked incredible and showed a heartbroken look.
The two of them asked Guo Jia suddenly burst out, and he was a rare loss of composure and said loudly like Mars: "Do you think I, Guo Jia, are the sinners who are in trouble? Is it? I, Guo Jia, also want the emperor to work hard to govern and love the people, also want the court officials to work diligently and self-respect for the public and private affairs, and also want local officials to clearly distinguish between public and private affairs and put the people first, but what? But what?"
Guo Jia strode to Gan Ning, raised his head slightly, his eyes like a knife, and said excitedly: "But the emperor is ignorant, his relatives are close to the wise, let's see what he has done? The eunuchs and relatives hold great power, what do eunuchs know? What do eunuchs know? What do foreign relatives know? The imperial city clearly priced and sold official positions. In the eyes of the emperor, he was also money. Is this what he should do in governing the world? The ministers in the court claim to be the mainstay and were unsuccessful, but what else can they do besides talking about immersing in the wind, flowers, snow and moon? All local officials are filial and honest recommended by the genius. But has Xingba ever heard of filial sons, fathers live together, scholars, and not know books? Have they ever cared about the lives and death of the people?"
These words made Gan Ning dare not look at Guo Jia, and he looked at him without saying a word, and even showed a look of struggle on his face.
Guo Jia moved to Zhou Tai and continued, "Taipingdao rebelled? Why not? He banned miscellaneous taxes, heavy taxes, and heavy taxes, and the people could not survive. Are they waiting to die? Isn't starvation enough to kill the world in the beautiful rivers and mountains? Is Taipingdao rebellion going to cause trouble in the world? Well, if no one rebelled, it would be peaceful in the world. Then when all the people starved to death, is this country still meaningful? Taipingdao rebelled, and it is all about ordinary people rebelling. They are not ambitious people, they are not greedy for wealth, nor are they trying to subvert the mountains and rivers and steal the Longting. They just want to survive and survive. I, Guo Jia, can save a thousand people in Yingchuan, but I want to save the suffering people in the world. What is a country? What is a family? Only a family that lives and works can form a prosperous country!"
After saying that, Guo Jia turned around and looked at the two of them with his back. After calming down, he said lightly: "If the two think that I, Guo Jia, are the sinners of the country, at this moment, God will give me a good opportunity to kill me, so as not to be poisoned by me, Guo Jia, in the future."
Puff
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning knelt down at Guo Jia. Zhou Tai said with tears in his eyes and said in deep pain: "Prespect for filial piety is an unparalleled national scholar. He takes it as his mission to benefit the world. I, Zhou Tai, have no eyes and misunderstood Fengxiao. Please accept my worship. If I do not abandon filial piety, I, Zhou Tai, are willing to help the poor and the needy, and help the world."
"So that's the case!" Gan Ning also bowed to the ground, looking excited.
Guo Jia turned around and said bitterly, "Young Ping Xingba, you can get up, I can't afford this worship. I, Guo Jia, just hope to find a wise and ambitious master to end the troubled times together, so that the people can fill their stomachs, wear clothes to avoid the cold, and live in peace, so that they will be satisfied."
Zhang Kai, who was watching the bloody blood, said sincerely to Guo Jia: "Now the young master is in trouble. I am willing to lead the old subordinates outside the mansion to fight with Cao Bao to find a glimmer of life for the young master."
Guo Jia looked at him gratefully and shook his head slightly, "If you surrender Tao Qian, he will be on guard against you. I am afraid that Tao Qian will respond by your side. If you rebel again, you may be suppressed by Cao Bao before you can take action. This method is inappropriate and you will be even more at risk of death."
Zhang Kai stubbornly bowed and said, "Little Grandpa, I will not be afraid of death. As long as I can help the little grandpa escape from danger, I will have a bad life, which is not worth mentioning."
Guo Jia was tied up and could not make any extra moves, so he could only sincerely say: "This way, you can send your confidants to set fires on all sides of Xuzhou City. As long as the fire is together, I will have a chance to get out."
Zhang Kai nodded and then bid farewell to Guo Jia: "I'll go out and reply to Cao Bao. Please take care of me."
Thinking of something, Guo Jia called him again and whispered: "Zhang Kai, if there is a Cao Gong passing through Xuzhou City in the future, you can ask for an order to escort him and kill Cao Gong on the way. If you know where I am at that time, you can send a confidant to notify me and I will give you an explanation."
Zhang Kai didn't understand his intention, but he nodded and left.
Guo Jia looked at his back and thought: If I was working under Cao Mengde at that time and Zhang Kai came to join us, he would have to change his name and surname.
At the same time, Guo Jia also sneered at Mi Zhu and Tao Qian: Anyway, you can't hold on to Xuzhou, let alone set up a trap today. If you don't leave you trouble, I'm really sorry for your warm hospitality.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai stood up and came to Guo Jia with a look of shame, but Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Are you still harsh on me?"
The two shook their heads and waited for Guo Jiasa to smile, leaving all the previous waves behind, making them majestic and rare in the world.
