Chapter 21: Family Reunion

He politely saluted the leaders of Guanghan clans with a smile, and Guo Jia kindly asked Xu Chu to withdraw his troops and return to Chengdu.

The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the Guanghan clan did not react, except Qin Mi, who was standing beside Qin Ye and Qin Cheng, looked worried.

"Hahahaha, Guo Jia, I know the current affairs."

Qin Cheng's unscrupulous ridicule did not lower his voice. Not far away, Guo Jia's footsteps of leaving did not stop. Only Xu Chu gritted his teeth and pressed the weapon, but he still did not move.

This is also the end of harmony. The Guanghan clan has preserved Guanghan County, where its power is located. Even if Guo Jia only covers the sky with his hands in Yizhou, Guanghan's three-point land can only stop.

For the Guanghan clan, this was a victory, which meant that the warlords who entered Yizhou compromised with them, so they held a banquet in Ye County, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep, and there was a lot of joy and joy of celebration.

At the banquet, the families of various families toasted Qin Ye and Qin Cheng frequently, saying that they were heroes and heroes who dared to act and stood firm and unyielding.

Qin Mi sighed and saw his worried look, and the father beside him asked in suspicion: "Zi Ji, now Guo Jia has retired, Guanghan is still the Qin family, why are you so depressed?"

Today's wine seemed extremely bitter. Qin Mi smiled boredly and looked at her father listlessly and whispered: "Can't anyone tell anyone that Guo Jia is showing weakness? When all thirteen counties in the northern part of Yizhou bow their heads to Guo Jia, is it still the Qin family who is the mastermind? My father was also present today, so I can't see that the soldiers under Guo Jia are really going to fight. Today, the Qin family has blood flowed into a river."

There is no doubt that the confrontation outside the Ye County of Guanghan was dissatisfied with strength. Guo Jiaruo wielded his butcher knife alone, but the Qin family could not stop it, and the entire Guanghan County could not stop it. Even if there were 20,000 or 50,000 private soldiers, weapons, armor, military discipline, and combat power, they were not as good as regular troops. Even if Guo Jia's army was severely damaged, they would eventually end up defeating.

But Guo Jia didn't do this, because Qin Mi wanted it, and Guo Jia's advisers also wanted it.

That is because Guo Jia is not fully prepared. At this moment, it is easy to kill the Guanghan clan, but Guo Jia cannot stop the counterattack of the prominent gentry in the entire Yizhou area. There must be a prerequisite for destroying the Qin family, that is, Guo Jia is ready to end. After the Yizhou genius and him are completely opposed, who will help him govern Yizhou. Once Guo Jia has a countermeasure, the life and death of the Qin family will no longer matter.

Qin Mi's father just loudly said to his elder brother and second brother, waving flags and shouting yes, but it was obviously not possible to give advice. Qin Mi's words made him think deeply but had no clue. Qin Cheng, who was sitting next to him, came over and smiled slightly proudly, "Zi Ji, then what should the Qin family do when you think about the current situation?"

Qin Mi looked at the wine glass in her hand quietly, and after a moment of silence, she said coldly.

"If the Qin family never surrenders to Guo Jia, this is the best opportunity to incite the nobles and prominent families in Yizhou, and at the same time attack Guo Jia."

A month ago was the best time for Guo Jia to enter Chengdu to be unstable. Now, although his chances of winning are not as high as that time, it is also a good opportunity. If Guo Jia rested and recuperated, the initial chaos within the country would be relieved, then there would be only two ways for the Yizhou gentry to go into exile or surrender.

But Qin Mi felt that this was basically impossible. The reason was very simple. Guo Jia had not killed any of the gentry in vain. He entered Chengdu and killed Liu Yan's family and the generals who led the army. Guo Jia was just dismissed from the Dongzhou gentry who followed Liu Yan into Sichuan and Shu. As for Guo Jia, Guo Jia, who asked the generals to go to various counties to recruit surrenders, those who were willing to surrender continued to remain in office. He did not make any special moves. Now Guo Jia only wants to surrender in Yizhou in name. This is tolerated by the Yizhou gentry, and there is no need to stay with Guo Jia.

If Guo Jia was like Sun Jian in Jingzhou, killing people in panic and killing everyone in danger, then the possibility of Yizhou gentry fighting back was very high.

Qin Mi's plan made Qin Cheng shake his head, and with the drunkenness, he narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously at Qin Mi: "Zi Xie, it is a good thing to rather than surrender, but you must always be cautious about life and death. Guo Jian of Yingchuan was young but was not proud of himself. He knew that governing Yizhou would depend on the Yizhou gentry, but he would not be willing to be constrained. Therefore, one day he would try his best to suppress Yizhou gentry, and we cannot sit still and wait for death."

Hearing Qin Cheng's words, Qin Mi's dim eyes brightened a little. This second uncle was a sensible person and saw the situation clearly. But if he did not rebel against Guo Jia at the moment, he would have little chance of winning.

"What are your opinions on my second uncle?"

Qin Cheng smiled and said with a smile: "Boundlessly and scatter, and rebellion."

It was like falling into an ice cellar, Qin Mi's body was cold, and his heart was cold and he couldn't help but tremble.

The laughter and joy at the banquet continued, but Qin Mi sat alone with expressionless face, showing a sad self-mockery smile. Qin Mi sighed inwardly: If Guo Jia can't even control the generals under his command, what qualifications are there to enter Yizhou? If his subordinates were someone who could easily bear the master, then Guo Jia would have already had a different body and head when he conquered Hanzhong.

After the banquet, Qin Mi followed his father toward his home. Before entering the house, he grabbed his father. When his father turned around and stared at him in confusion, he asked him what he intended, Qin Mi knelt down in front of his father with a serious expression and said with a deep look: "Father, I beg you not to interfere in the planning of the uncle and the second uncle anymore. No matter what they want to do, success or failure, the father should not intervene. In this way, at least our Qin family may still be able to leave a lineage without breaking the bloodline."

Qin Mi's father had no idea. Seeing that his favorite son begged him so seriously, even though he couldn't figure out the reason, he knew that the matter was of great importance, so he nodded and agreed.

Qin Mi, who had weighed the pros and cons in his heart, deeply understood that if the entire Yizhou gentry counterattacked, even if Guo Jia wins, he will win miserably. At that time, other warlords will definitely covet the land of Yizhou and come to wipe out Guo Jia. The Qin family will have one day to revitalize, but if the Qin family plans alone, if the matter fails, Guo Jia's thunderous anger will be enough to prevent the Qin family from existing.

After leading the army back to Chengdu, Guo Jia's expression was still unhappy. Xu Chu, who followed him along the way, wanted to speak out several times, and finally returned to the military camp with a sloppy anger.

Two days later, the sun was shining in the morning. Guo Jia stood at the north gate of Chengdu. A couple standing not far away beside him. Cai Yong never gave Guo Jia a good look. He even scolded him as a traitor many times. Guo Jia didn't mind. People in the world called him a traitor. If he couldn't help but attack him, he would kill too many people.

It was not until noon that there were a group of cars and horses coming from the north, hundreds of young men in white guarding each other, leading by Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi.

The team stopped in front of Guo Jia, and Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi brought a hundred young guards to greet Guo Jia.

Jumped off the horse, Guo Jia helped the two of them up, patted the dust on their clothes, and said, "How can we go all the way?"

Xiao Ren replied: "My fourth brother and I are all in a quiet and long journey, and we are safe all the way. Fortunately, we will send our lord's family and Zhen family safely."

"It's fine, it's fine. Thank you all the hard work along the way, Guo Xiu took them to the arranged residence and rest."

Guo Xiu led Xiao Ren, Xiao Yi and the hundred guards behind him into the city to rest. Guo Jia slowly walked towards the front carriage. The curtain of the carriage was lifted up, and the beautiful woman with outstanding looks walked off the carriage with a baby in her arms.

Just as he was about to rush over to say a few words to his wife, he looked at his son by the way, but a gust of wind blew by his side. Guo Jia looked at Cai Yong and his wife running over faster than him.

Cai Yan was mentally prepared to meet her parents in Chengdu, but she didn't expect to meet her parents again just before getting off the carriage.

Tears were flowing, crying indescribable, as if the three of them were in the next generation were filled with emotion. The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Cai Yong also had tears in his eyes. His daughter made many mistakes and died in his heart. This reunion scene, which was like a goodbye to another generation, also made him eliminate his complaints about his daughter. Just looking at the baby boy in his daughter's arms who was staring at her eyes and not afraid of having children, Cai Yong looked embarrassed again.

The Cai Yong family was immersed in the joy of reunion, and the Zhen family was crying loudly behind. Zhen Yao kowtowed three times to his mother, making Zhen's mother hug him and laugh and cry.

Big and Xiao Qiao were sitting in the carriage and looking at Guo Jia from afar, with warm eyes and heartfelt eyes. It was always difficult to come out and express his feelings. Zhen Jiang in the carriage behind only knew that Guo Jia was right in front, but he couldn't lose his etiquette to meet his lover. Fortunately, the third brother appeared in front of him and finally had a place to vent, accompanying his mother to cry.

There are many people who ignore etiquette. Guo Jia is in a dilemma. Go forward. Cai Yong definitely doesn't want to see him disturb the three of them. Go to the Zhen family's carriage. The faster the quarrel with Zhen's mother was, so he emptied the Zhen family and didn't even give it back to others. It would be embarrassing to go there.

Seeing that Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, who were already fourteen, had less scruples, they jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Guo Jia. Behind them, there was Zhen Rong who waved to Guo Jia hard and jogged over.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao tacitly grabbed Guo Jia's arm left and right, and Zhen Rong fell directly into Guo Jia's arms, almost knocking Guo Jia over.

Before he could speak up, Guo Jia, who was amused and crying, was once again caught in the language bombardment of the Zhen sisters.

"Brother Fengxiao, my elder brother said that the Zhen family is so poor that they have no food to eat."

"Yes, the Zhen family is poor. Brother Fengxiao, you are a high-ranking official now. Do you want to buy children from poor families?"

"Buy me, I can pour tea."

“I can pour water.”

"I can rub my shoulders."

"I can pinch my legs."

Zhen Rong, who was in Guo Jia's arms, raised his head and grinned at Guo Jia, and said proudly: "I can warm the bed."

The ears were clear. Guo Jia was surprised that Zhen Rong had the terrifying skill to let the two sisters stop talking. When he looked left and right, he found that Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao both looked shy and looked underwhelmed.
