Let's talk about how after Guan Ping and Wang Ping carried Guo Jia back all the way, because of the sudden incident, it was very different from how other generals were greeted when they came back.
In addition, Guo Jia himself is the kind of person who "enters the village quietly and doesn't want to shoot". With this idea in mind, after Guo Jia returned to Chang'an, he sent Wang Ping and Guan Ping away without letting anyone know.
Then we took the bus to the morning pilgrimage the next morning.
"..." Chen Xi looked at the people walking out of the Guo family's carriage and couldn't help but be startled. He pinched Jia Xu who was standing beside him, causing Jia Xu to almost jump to the side.
"What are you doing?" Jia Xu asked with a dark face.
"I saw Guo Fengxiao, look over there." Chen Xi pointed in the direction of Guo Jia, and saw Guo Jia opening his folding fan. No matter that it was already November and it was getting colder in Chang'an, he waved his fan.
, pretending to be charming and suave.
"Why did this guy come back? No one informed me." Jia Xu was stunned when he saw this scene. Why did Guo Jia come back so quickly?
"Fengxiao, aren't you in the south of Guishang? Why did you come back suddenly?" Liu Bei was also surprised when he saw Guo Jia. Guo Jia came back without notifying anyone.
"Some problems occurred, and Yunchang sent people directly to send him back from Kushan. Now there is no point for me to be in Kushan. I just came back to recuperate." Guo Jia smiled and said, originally according to the
As for the process, if someone like him wants to come back, he must first report to the central government, and then he can leave after completing the report.
It's just that Guo Jia's situation is not good. Although it seems normal now, in fact, he basically relied on Wu Pu to survive before, and now he has lost most of his combat effectiveness. Guan Yu thought that instead of wasting time in Kushan, it would be better
Guo Jia was sent directly back to Hua Tuo for treatment.
Before reaching out to Guishuang, Guan Yu did not dare to send Wang Ping and Guan Ping to gamble. After passing Bo Luo Si, it was basically the territory of the Han Dynasty. Guan Yu immediately asked Wang Ping and Guan Ping to take Guo Jia back to Chang'an.
, and Guo Jia did not refuse this proposal.
After all, Guo Jia is a member of his own family who knows his own affairs. If he can't think, then most of his combat effectiveness will be lost. If he is still on the front line, he will be in the corpse position. It is better to free up a position for Xu Shu and let that guy train.
If Guo Jia doesn't leave, even if he is crippled, Guan Yu will trust Guo Jia more than Xu Shu based on his qualifications, ability, and achievements. However, without being able to think clearly, Guo Jia feels that something will happen sooner or later. After all, the front line is different from the rear.
As long as the rear area guarantees the logistics supplies for the front line, no one will say anything if you want to mess around, and you won't be surprised if you mess around.
But if it were switched to the front line, the corpse position would cause a lot of trouble, especially for those in high positions, because Guo Jia decisively stepped away and returned to the Central Plains for retirement. He rested for a year and a half. After he was cured, he could just go back and go there.
A carrot and a pit are different, Guo Jia's position has always been there.
Listening to Guo Jia's narration, Liu Bei realized that compared to the high-spirited Guo Jia when he left, Guo Jia was now obviously much thinner and his face was a little pale.
"Let's take a rest in the morning and report to Dr. Hua first. There has been a lot of progress in medical skills there recently. Let's see the doctor first. We have a rough idea of the situation ahead." Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia's face and spoke immediately.
said.
"My lord, there is no need to worry so much. As for the situation ahead, the gap between what is on paper and what has been experienced in person is actually very big." Guo Jia smiled and rejected Liu Bei's kindness. Anyway, if you don't use your brain and relax yourself, this thing won't work.
will have any impact on you.
"It's better to be careful when you are sick." Seeing that Guo Jia was unmoved, Liu Bei didn't know what to say and pointed in the direction of Chen Xi and others, "Zichuan and others are looking at you eagerly.
Go ahead and join them instead of going to the doctor."
Guo Jia nodded, then turned and left. At this time, Cao Cao came over and looked at Guo Jia's back and sighed, wanting to curse. Guo Jia was also recommended to him by Xun Yu back then, but he didn't get it yet. From Yuan Shao
Guo Jia was intercepted by Liu Bei when he came back.
The Talent Recruitment List is really a good thing, but Cao Cao, who only had one state in the country, was not eligible to issue it. On the contrary, Liu Bei, who only had one county, but had the status of a serious clan member, could issue it. As a result, he was one step behind.
, and now I can’t catch up at all.
"How is the situation over there in Guishan?" Cao Cao asked casually.
"Fengxiao was so disturbed that he probably couldn't move eastward in a short time. According to Fengxiao, he had already met Wenru in Wenjia when he came back. There should be no problem. Wenru is very reliable in his work."
Liu Bei nodded and answered with confidence.
Let's put it this way, Liu Bei actually has more trust in Li You's ability than Guo Jia, who is doing nothing. Although Liu Bei himself knows that Guo Jia is good at pulling, apart from the fact that there may be some problems with practical tactics, the grand strategy definitely outweighs Li You.
.
It's just that Guo Jia's life style makes Liu Bei a little embarrassed, and Guo Jia doesn't look that calm. This is why Guo Jia is chosen to cooperate with Guan Yu. Although Guan Yu is arrogant, Guan Yu is actually very calm when marching and fighting.
Liu Bei's original idea was that the two would cooperate and influence each other. As a result, he basically cried when he talked about it too much. The relationship between Guan Yu and Guo Jia did become very good, but Guan Yu's character did not affect Guo Jia at all.
Jia Ye still goes his own way, and the cooperation between the two parties is actually very close. I don’t know how.
As for Li You, Liu Bei felt that he was an all-powerful monster. He could do anything, be it military strategy or internal politics. He knew everything from astronomy to geography and trivial matters. He could even get involved in street fights.
He is simply a freak, but this kind of freak is so reassuring. Liu Bei is used to Li You, just like Chen Xi introduced him to Liu Bei back then. He can't let go. It's so easy. I won't do this thing.
Son, but as long as I have this idea, Li You will immediately put it right.
Even Liu Bei himself couldn't let go of such a useful secretary, so when Liu Bei finally discovered that Li You was Li Ru, he forced the matter to pass.
He hypnotized himself and said that Li You was actually a thief. After reading it hundreds of times, Liu Bei truly believed that Li You was a thief. In fact, Liu Bei was not mentally retarded. Li You was a thief. He was a ghost. Under the circumstances at that time
, Li You's position in Dong Zhuo's power is equivalent to Chen Xi in Liu Bei's power. Is this a thief? Do you believe it?
I believe it, Liu Bei believes it. Anyway, some things just need a step. Chen Xi and Li You gave them a step and Liu Bei didn't bother to pursue the matter. The main reason was that he was really used to using it at that time. He was so used to it that he couldn't live without it.
It’s open, not to mention that humans are also emotional animals.
After passing that level, Liu Bei consciously began to find excuses for Li You, why he was a thief, why Dong Zhuo had changed, why he was forced to do nothing, that was all.
As more reasons were found, Liu Bei's recognition of Li You increased significantly. After all, Li You opened a tragic template, which was a situation where the reform failed.
Descendants generally feel like-minded towards seniors who have similar ambitions to themselves. If the other party fails, they will have the feeling that I am stepping on the bones of my seniors and moving forward.
As for Li You, he wanted tragedy and tragedy, change and change, but he failed in the end. Naturally, he had a strong impression on Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't think about Li Ru's matter anymore, and took Li You as his right-hand man.
Yes, and letting Li You go this time was partly because Li You took the initiative, and partly because Liu Bei knew that the future direction of the Kushan Empire would involve too many things.
Liu Bei has many capable ministers under his command, but only a few can really control the situation. The generals are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As for the others, they may have good military power, but when it comes to the main force fighting the war at the imperial level, they are all unable to handle it.
As for the civil servants, Chen Xi should not move lightly. Chen Xi can indeed play a considerable role in the front, but compared to the value that Chen Xi can produce in the rear, it is better to stay in the rear and let others pass in the front.
As a result, there are only four or five strategists who are really capable. Fazheng and Guo Jia have the same problem, they are super capable, but Liu Bei looked at these two and thought that Xuan's face was too young, but Lu Su was a good one, calm and confident.
Add, but Lu Su can't move.
In the end, there are only three people left, Li You, Jia Xu and Liu Ye. However, if Liu Bei chooses these three people, Liu Ye's advantage is probably the extra points of family ties. The only ones who are truly competitive are Li You and Jia Xu.
Given the choice of one, Liu Bei would naturally choose Li You.
Jia Xusheng had superior intelligence and was capable of making all kinds of plans, but Jia Xu's internal affairs and management were just that, they were just those who were on the first or second line. If Li You was replaced, he would be all-powerful, which is no joke, so Liu Bei reluctantly sent Li You
Yu was released.
Naturally, after hearing Guo Jia say that Li You had arrived at Wenjia, Liu Bei instantly felt a lot more at ease. Li You would definitely guard Guan Yu's retreat and the front path of the migrating people. Liu Bei was extremely confident in this.
The important reason why Liu Bei let Li You go.
"Ah, Fengxiao, you've come back to give me a gift." Chen Xi rubbed his hands, looking like a stingy old rich man.
"Gift money, what kind of gift money?" Guo Jia pretended to be dead.
"I'm getting married to Mi'er. It's going to snow the day after tomorrow. I'm going to have a wedding banquet after the snow." Chen Xi said with a smile, "I don't want more. Give me some local specialties from Kushan."
"Would you like Ganges River water?" Guo Jiayi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "This stuff is said to be the most precious treasure in Kushan. I'll give you some."
At the same time, other civil servants who noticed Guo Jia also gathered around. Everyone in the Ganges River Basin was really interested.
