As the saying went, one should plan for the government in one's position. After Guo Jia acknowledged Liu Yuan as his lord, he would do his best to display what he had learned. Although he had no choice in the beginning, didn't he get some benefits later on? He had to serve someone sooner or later. Since he had already joined Liu Yuan's army, he wouldn't sit idly by. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Yuan wasn't a lord worth serving, when the time came, Guo Jia would still be able to find a way to leave, right? Moreover, Liu Yuan was not someone who could not be helped.
Although Liu Yuan had been appointed as the prefect of Yuyang, Guo Jia did not think that the power of the prefect was within reach. Now that the court was in decline, the generals and ministers in Luoyang had gradually lost control over the local areas. Youzhou and Yuyang were remote and cold places. Firstly, the court did not care much about them. Secondly, the emperor was far away. The military and political power were controlled by local tyrants. Liu Yuan, an outsider, wanted to take over? Alright! Come and get it if you have the ability!
Therefore, the first thing he had to do in the north was to take a tough stance and use that thunderous momentum to suppress the local snake like a fierce dragon crossing the river and make it yield. Then, he would play the trick of boiling a frog in warm water. He would suppress them militarily, weaken them slowly in politics, and at the same time win over the hearts of the people. Finally, he would get rid of those pests and completely control Yuyang!
Guo Jia thought a lot in his heart and finally decided on a general strategy. When he reached Yuyang, he would perfect it according to the local situation.
As for Liu Yuan, he didn't think too much about it at the moment. He was only happy that he had obtained two valiant generals.
The two of them had different thoughts and were speechless along the way. Not long after, they returned to Jieliang County.
After returning to the garden that the county government had allocated for them, they instructed the manservant to take good care of Big Yellow. When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Dian Wei training a group of subordinates. Liu Yuan nodded, feeling very gratified. He thought that Dian Wei was a talent who knew how to train his soldiers, but he didn't know that Dian Wei was bored and only looked for those guys to relax.
Dian Wei came over to greet him and handed the training to Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan knew that he didn't have much of a foundation. These two hundred soldiers were the only force he could use, so he trained them especially hard. Liu Yuan was especially optimistic about the potential of the thirty who had consumed the blood essence of Weapon Grandmasters.
Just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, the red sun had just appeared. The world was covered in a gray fog. The withered grass by the roadside was covered with a layer of thick frost. A team was walking on the official road from afar. From afar, they could see a young man in luxurious clothes sitting on the back of a huge and handsome yellow cow. A huge spear was hanging diagonally from the back of the cow. This person held his head high and puffed out his chest. As he looked around, his heroic aura was about to burst out. His aura was so imposing that no one dared to look at him directly.
Behind him were five strong yellow horses, each with a person sitting on it. Some were mighty, some were valiant, some were elegant, and some were dashing. The man on the far left had a white face and no beard. He was holding a giant axe with a long handle. The handle was thick and the face was large. The second one had a yellow face and a yellow robe. He held a halberd that was fifteen feet long and his entire body was suffused with a faint black light. The man in the middle was wearing a purple robe with golden edges. His face was calm and he had a dignified bearing. Then, there was a man in a white robe. He had delicate features and a tall figure. The man on the far right had a black face and curly beard. He had a hateful expression and two short black iron halberds hung at his waist. He was tall and muscular.
Behind these six people was a group of soldiers who were in a strict, orderly, and solemn formation. Although the soldiers 'clothes and weapons were not uniform, they had an aura that could not be underestimated. It gave people the feeling that they could not be resisted at a glance-elite!
This was Liu Yuan and his group who had left Xie Liangbei.
It was already winter, and the air was cold and dry. It was lonely everywhere, and the fields were completely desolate.
Liu Yuan opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of white gas. He tightened his sleeves and turned around."How far is it from Guangping?"
"Why is my lord in such a hurry?" Chen Qun asked with a smile.”
"That's right. Young Master, you've asked a hundred times along the way.”"Even if we stay here for a month, it won't be too late to go to Youzhou." Dian Wei said in a muffled voice.”
Liu Yuan rubbed his nose and turned his face away in boredom."I can't tell you that we're in a hurry to kidnap Tian Feng, right?”
"My lord, don't be anxious. This place is already over Guangping and is less than two hundred miles away from Guangping. If you walk a little faster, you'll arrive in a day.”"A few days ago, a traveling merchant happened to pass by this place and was very familiar with it."”
Only Guo Jia chuckled and galloped along with Liu Yuan. He turned around and saw that the others were not following him. Then, he whispered,""My lord, who are you going to kidnap when we reach Guangping?”
"Who kidnapped who?" Liu Yuan had a guilty conscience and quickly denied it. He turned around and looked at his subordinates behind him. He realized that they were chatting and did not notice. He heaved a sigh of relief and whispered,"How did you know?"
"Hehe, my lord didn't take the shortcut but instead took a detour to the east of the river. After leaving Hedong, he still couldn't forget Guangping and Julu, then... Hehe, my lord, don't forget that you have a criminal record!”Guo Jia said confidently.
" Hehe," Liu Yuan rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly."Feng Xiao still holds a grudge? That time, it was my fault. Didn't I look for talents like I was thirsty…Do you know that the emperor granted Ju Gong and Tian Yuan Hao?”
"Why don't you know?" "I've heard that Tian Feng of Hebei Province is a great talent, but I've never met him." But how did the lord know their origins?”
"Hee hee, you don't need to ask about this. When the time comes, just help me kidnap the two of them.”
"Since that's the case, why don't you send someone to leave first? When we arrive at Guangping, wouldn't it be convenient to bring people and leave?”
"Yes…" Liu Yuan thought of something and smiled. Since that's the case, who do you think we should send?”
"Huang Gongyi and Xu Gongming."
Liu Yuan nodded and turned around." Gongyi, Gongming, come forward."”
Hearing this, the two of them quickly took a few steps forward and cupped their fists at the same time."My lord!"
"I have something important to hand over to the two of you. Are you willing?”
"Lord, please instruct us. We will go through fire and water without hesitation!”
"Good!" Liu Yuan praised,"The two of you will take my seal and head to Guangping and Julu to find Tian Feng and Ju Shou." After you find it, wait there. I'll be there later!”
"Here!"
