Guo Tu didn't expect it. Looking at the strong young man standing in front of him, he didn't recognize him at first glance. He was completely different from the thin boy he saw in Luoyang more than a year ago.
Look at that young man's appearance again, it's really Guo Jia.
Guo Jia once served as Yuan Shao's retainer, and his relationship with Yuan Shao's counselors was almost the same, but his relationship with Guo Tu was the only one that was tense. He was surprised when Guo Tu didn't recognize him.
For a moment, the hall was silent. Guo Tu kept looking at Guo Jia. He couldn't understand why Guo Jia had grown to this point in just over a year. After a long time, he finally squirmed.
His lips squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Master Hou, Marquis Zhao is very sincere. If Master Marquis agrees to continue the peace, Marquis Zhao will definitely express his feelings."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "The murderer of Liu Yu is still in Bohai County under the jurisdiction of Zhao Hou. If Zhao Hou is really willing to show his sincerity, then please hand over Gongsun Zan and let me deal with him."
"This... Mr. Hou, I can't make the decision on this matter. I can only go back and report it to Zhao Hou..."
"Well, I didn't ask you to reply immediately. In fact, Zhao Hou and I got along very well. Although there was a bit of unpleasantness between us when we were in Luoyang, Zhao Hou is also a true hero with a lot of strength. He should be able to abandon me.
Suspicion. Such as
Nowadays, our northern border in Youzhou is not stable, and the Xianbei people are starting to make a move. It is estimated that I will personally lead the army to attack Xianbei in the next half year. I hope to get the support of Zhao Hou and we can join forces to attack the enemy.
.”
Guo Tu's face was still very kind, and he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou. After I go back, I will definitely convey Mr. Hou's words to Zhao Hou. Zhao Hou is also looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Hou."
"Haha, it's easy to talk. Gao Lin, send Mr. Guo to the post house to rest!"
Gao Lin said "Promise" and escorted Guo Tu out of Yanhou Mansion and towards the post house.
After Guo Tu left, Gao Fei's pleasant face returned to normal, and he said expressionlessly: "Feng Xiao, what do you think of this matter?"
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "According to Yuan Shao's character, he will never take the initiative to show kindness to his lord, but this time he is uncharacteristically different, and there is a bit of humility in Guo Tu's words. It seems that he is deliberately covering up Yuan Shao's strength..."
"You mean, Yuan Shao is showing weakness to us?"
Guo Jia nodded and said slowly: "My lord, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Pang Ji, Xin Pi and others are all warlike people. It is absolutely impossible for Yuan Shao to come up with this strategy. My subordinates thought that they would come up with this strategy for Yuan Shao."
The strategy must be a wise man who can see the whole situation clearly, but last time when my subordinates were on a mission to Yecheng, they didn't notice any unusually capable people, so I'm confused..."
A person appeared in Gao Fei's mind, and he opened his mouth and said: "Don't think about it, that person must be Jushu. He wants to use this strategy to create instability within Jizhou for a period of time. However, at the moment, we are too
We urgently need this peaceful time. So, do you know what to do?"
Guo Jia cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Are all the weapons and armor produced in the steel factory ready?"
"With Mr. Xun You personally managing the steel plant, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Yesterday, another batch of armors was transported to Jicheng. It has now been collected into the treasury and is just waiting to be equipped for the soldiers." Guo Jia replied truthfully, "But
...I don’t understand that my lord wants so many chains to lock the door?"
Gao Fei smiled evilly and said: "You will know then. When there is a grand military parade in the future, I want everyone in the world to know that my Gao Fei's army is an army with iron will, and they must use the sharp weapons in their hands.
It opens up a whole new world.”
Guo Jia was deeply moved by Gao Fei's heroic words. After bidding farewell to Gao Fei, he left the Yanhou Mansion and began to prepare for the morale that Gao Fei had ordered.
Gao Fei also left the hall of Yanhou Mansion and walked directly towards the Hanlin Academy.
Opening the door, Gao Fei saw a dazzling array of mechanical beasts in the room. Cats, dogs, pigs and other animals were all placed on the floor, like an exhibition.
Gongshu Fei sat alone on the ground, looking at the fully stretched machine bird in front of her, her brows furrowed tightly.
"What are you thinking about?" Gao Fei walked straight to Gong Shufei's side, his face radiant.
Gongshu Fei didn't even look at Gao Fei, and kept staring at the machine bird very intently.
When Gao Fei saw Gongshu Fei ignoring him, he asked, "Are you angry with me? I haven't come to see you these days. I really miss you. Do you miss me?"
"..." Gongshu Fei still looked attentive and ignored Gao Fei's words.
Gao Fei sighed softly, and lay down on the ground covered with straw mats. He put his hands under his head, looked up at the ceiling, and said calmly: "The agreement between your Gongshu family and the Mo family is coming soon.
Bar?"
"Well... there are still a few months to go. I must transform the machine bird as soon as possible, otherwise, I will definitely lose to the Mo family's Red Snake." Gongshu Fei finally spoke, his voice was very soft, but enough.
Let Gao Fei hear it.
Gao Fei saw that Gong Shufei was devoted to the mechanism technique, so he prescribed the right medicine and said slowly: "Do you still remember the plane I told you about?"
Gongshu Fei turned around involuntarily, stared at Gao Fei lying on the ground, and asked: "Is it that kind of huge machine bird that can fly in the sky with hundreds of people?"
"Strictly speaking, it is not a mechanism technique, but a product of technology. I know that making a mechanism beast is a very profound knowledge, involving engineering, dynamics, physics and other aspects of knowledge, and it is exactly what you have mastered.
This knowledge is only limited to the mechanism technique. Have you ever thought about one thing..."
Gao Fei sat up, his eyes full of expectation, looked at Gong Shufei, and said slowly: "No matter how advanced your attainments in mechanical skills are, in the end you are just a carpenter who can play with wood. Anything made of wood,
If it encounters fire, it will turn into ashes, and the things you make are not in line with this society, making some things
It's very difficult to make, but after you make it, you find that there is no use for such a thing. Then have you ever thought about not playing with these wood anymore, use your wisdom and wisdom to make it composed of steel, and replace your machine with a steel machine beast?
Wooden machine beast, in this way, what you create will become precious even on the battlefield."
"You want me to give up my machine skills? I can't do it!"
"I'm not asking you to give up, but I'm asking you to learn new technologies. In these aspects, I can help you. Similarly, I also need people like you who are ingenious to help me build. Don't you want to use your hands to make
A huge iron-winged bird, soaring in the sky with one or two hundred people?"
"You are right. However, this matter will have to wait until the decisive battle between me and the Mo family. No matter whether I win or lose, I will help you make what you want most."
"Well, on the tenth day of February next year, I will go to the top of Mount Tai with you. I also want to see the Mohists and their mechanism skills."
Gongshu Fei said nothing, turned his head, and asked after a long time: "I heard that you are getting married to Cai Yan tomorrow..."
"Well, Cai Yan and I have a marriage contract. Since I have agreed, I must fulfill it."
"Then you...will you come to my place again after you get married?"
"Of course I will. I will come every day, as long as there is nothing else. I have already had all the city defense weapons you made copied and sent them to Fanyang and Tianjin."
"I want to ask you a question..." Gongshu Fei lowered his head and said calmly, "The reason why you are willing to marry me is because I have the Gongshu clan's mechanism skills, which can help you achieve some military results?"
Gao Fei didn't even think about it, he hugged Gongshu Fei in his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered in a low voice: "Feifei, you don't know how I treat you. Such silly questions will come up in the future."
Stop asking."
Gongshu Fei nodded and nestled quietly in Gao Fei's arms, greedily enjoying the beating of Gao Fei's heart, and a hint of happiness appeared on his face.
…
The next day, Gao Fei met Guo Tu again and agreed to Yuan Shao's friendly gesture. Fortunately, Guo Tu left Jicheng without disgrace.
A few days later, when Guo Tu returned to Yecheng, he was received by Yuan Shao.
"My lord, Gao Fei is strong on the outside and strong on the outside. He has deployed half of his troops in Fanyang and Tianjin. If we can capture Fan Yang, we can immediately march straight in and capture Jicheng in one go." Guo Tu, who had just returned to Yecheng, said
He briefly explained to Yuan Shao what he saw and heard in Jicheng and gave his own suggestions.
Yuan Shao stroked his beard and said calmly: "Are you asking me to send troops to Youzhou?"
Guo Tu nodded: "If we don't attack Youzhou now, it will be even more terrifying when Gao Fei develops in Youzhou in the future. I believe that if I can capture Youzhou as soon as possible, my lord can land there as soon as possible."
The throne of the overlord of heaven and earth."
Yuan Shao said: "Then why did you disagree with Shen Pei's opinion before and chose Ju Shou instead?"
"At this moment, I didn't know much about the enemy. At this moment, I have returned from Youzhou as an envoy. In Youzhou, I confirmed Gao Fei's military strength with my own eyes. If I start to attack Youzhou at this time, I will definitely be able to attack Youzhou.
Gao Fei was caught off guard."
"Hahaha, great idea. It's just that I have already decided on Jushou's plan to implement the farming. Besides, our army has just occupied Qingzhou and the people's morale is unstable. If we rush to attack Gaofei, not only will we be criticized for being unkind and unjust, but we will also
Let us fall into a situation where we are attacked from both sides."
Guo Tu was shocked and asked directly: "My lord, are you worried about Cao Cao?"
Yuan Shao said: "Yes, Cao Cao has occupied Xuzhou and owns the land of two states. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people who can own the land of two states. Cao Cao and Ma Teng are one of them. But Ma Teng is far away from us.
We can adopt the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking closely. And I am also very worried that Cao Cao and Gao Fei will join forces to attack me, so I will put this matter aside for the time being. After the autumn harvest next year, it will not be too late for our army to send troops to Youzhou again."
Guo Tu cupped his hands and said: "My lord is wise!"
