"Come in and talk."
Cheng Chong opened up a path and led Guo Jia into the inner hall.
A servant had already served him fragrant tea.
"I know that Brother Fengxiao is from Yingchuan and studied in the world-famous Yingchuan Academy.”
"Now, you should have just learned it, right?”
Cheng Chong asked calmly.
Guo Jia laughed.
"Brother Wuhui is right. This time, I'm going north to study and see the Great Han Dynasty with my own eyes.”
"However, I was unlucky to encounter the Yellow Turban Rebellion!”
"If it weren't for a hero like Brother Wuhui in the Central Mausoleum who turned the tide, I might have died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army!”
As he spoke, Guo Jia sat upright.
A pair of bright eyes shone brightly, as if they could see through the hearts of the people.
"Speaking of which, the scale of this Yellow Turban Rebellion is very large and daunting. I want to hear what Brother Wuhui thinks about this.”
Cheng Chong chuckled.
He knew that this was Guo Jia's test and also an evaluation.
Guo Jia wanted to see if Cheng Chong was worthy of his assistance!
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion seemed to be a huge event, but it was just a fleeting cloud.”
"His Majesty has lifted the ban on political parties and allowed the aristocrats to recruit private soldiers. It won't be long before this chaos will naturally disappear.”
Guo Jia listened quietly.
This conclusion was very accurate.
However, his standard was only average.
Basically, any knowledgeable scholar could see this.
"But,"
Cheng Chong changed the topic.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion could not destroy the Great Han Dynasty, but it also seriously damaged the authority of the Han Dynasty.”
"The power of the aristocratic families in various places has expanded, and they have already become local snakes with big tails that can't be dropped. This is the greatest hidden danger.”
"Now that His Majesty the Emperor still has his dragon's might, the various vassals dare not act rashly. However, His Majesty was a human and had to die. Once he died, the world would be in chaos!”
Guo Jia's eyes shone brightly, and he almost wanted to slap the table and exclaim.
This was almost identical to his thoughts!
The Han Dynasty lost its deer, and the world chased it together!
"Then Brother Wuhui, the fortune of the Han Dynasty is declining. Do you want to be Yi Yin or Huo Guang?”
Guo Jia threw out the last question.
He wanted to know what role Cheng Chong would play in this chaotic world.
Be a loyal minister or a powerful minister!
Cheng Chong laughed loudly and stood up abruptly, his eyes radiating a cold light.
"I don't want to be Yi Yin or Huo Guang. I want to be Liu Bang!”
"Fengxiao, since you have traveled the world, you should be very clear that the Great Han Dynasty is rotten. Tigers and wolves are entrenched in the court, and snakes and insects are rooted in the martial world. Such a Han Dynasty could not be supported!”
"Why don't we just burn the old dynasty to the ground and create another glorious era!”
Every word and sentence was like thunder!
It was completely treasonous!
If these words were heard by others, it would definitely cause a huge uproar and attract the condemnation of the world!
The reason why Cheng Chong dared to be so frank was because he understood Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was not Xun Yu. He was straightforward and did not fear the imperial power.
Not only did these words not arouse Guo Jia's disgust, but they also resonated with him!
"Well said!"
Guo Jia kept clapping, his eyes full of admiration.
He laughed loudly.
"Cheng Cheng, I didn't misjudge you!”
These days, he had been traveling north and across Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou to find a wise ruler to assist him.
As for Cheng Chong, in terms of breadth of mind, vision, talent seeking heart, and ambition, all of them were top choices!
For a moment, he felt a sense of belonging, as if he had finally found someone to rely on.
What was there to hesitate about?
This was his destiny!
Guo Jia did not hesitate and bowed deeply to Cheng Chong.
"If Brother Meng Wuhui doesn't abandon me, then Feng Xiao is willing to follow Brother Wuhui from now on!”
"With a military strategy and a heart full of schemes, together with Brother Wuhui, we will create the Great Harmony of the World!”
Cheng Chong laughed.
He hugged Guo Jia tightly.
"Filial piety!"
"My lord!"
The two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Fengxiao, I'm still a commoner. I can't give you any official position.”
"I'll have to trouble you first.”
Cheng Chong said softly.
Guo Jia waved his hand, unconcerned.
He was not seeking fame at all.
He was born in a noble family in Yingchuan. If he wanted to be an official, he would have been elected as a filial and honest official long ago.
"My lord, you defeated the Yellow Turban Army and saved Zhongling County. You've already won the hearts of the people!”
"The battle report will be sent to the court in a few days. His Majesty has already issued an imperial edict to reward the heroes who performed well in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. With the lord's achievements, it would not be a problem for him to be conferred the title of Ling County Magistrate. Ling County would definitely become the lord's base.”
"The current direction of development is to take Ling County as the core and manage it well. At the same time, we will extend our tentacles to all directions and gradually take control of the entire Yanmen Prefecture!”
"Then, we will control Bingzhou and look down on the world. Once there is a change in the Han Dynasty, we can plot against the Central Plains!”
Since he had decided to work for Cheng Chong, Guo Jia had no reservations.
He stood from Cheng Chong's perspective and started to plan.
Cheng Chong nodded.
Guo Jia was indeed a top-notch strategist.
His train of thought was very clear.
Even though he was in a small place, his eyes were already set on the entire fourteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty.
"I think so too."
"Mayi County has also been invaded by the Yellow Turban. I'm going to take two hundred soldiers to support them.”
"We'll set off tomorrow!"
This decisive decision made Guo Jia laugh bitterly.
However, he had no intention of dissuading her.
Today, he had already witnessed the power of Cheng Chong's mysterious array formation.
Two hundred soldiers were no weaker than two thousand soldiers under that formation!
Against the Yellow Turban Army, it was already an extraordinary force!
"It's naturally best if the lord has a decision.”
"The Yellow Turban is powerful, and the people of all sides are in a panic. Expelling the Yellow Turban is the best move to win the hearts of the people.”
"Mayi is not far from Zhongling. I fully support my lord's decision.”
"While I'm away, I'll have to entrust Fengxiao with all the affairs in the Central Mausoleum, big and small." Cheng Chong smiled.”
"My duty is my duty. Don't worry, my lord.”
