After Liu Zhang surrendered, the fertile soil of Chengdu Plain could be used as a new logistics forward base, which was of great help to the Wei army to further pacify the Southern Central.

Therefore, Guo Jia felt that according to Guo Peng's nature, he would definitely make good use of the fertile soil of the Tianfu Country and continue to fight.

So during this period, Guo Jia decided to screen out some people who needed to take to the Central Plains with Liu Zhang, lay the foundation for Guo Peng's subsequent governance and create space.

During this period of time in Chengdu, Guo Jia seemed to have done nothing, but was invited by various families to have fun with them, or chat with Liu Zhang, but it seemed that he did nothing.

However, he has already understood the basic situation in Chengdu and even Shuzhong.

For example, the famous Central Plains scholar Xu Jing who tried to climb over the wall to surrender to the Wei army, and the Zhang Su and Zhang Song brothers who insisted on a resistance stance, all kinds of people filled the entire Chengdu, and he did not leave any of them behind.

Especially Xu Jing, one of the hosts of the former Yuedan Review who also has a great reputation in the Central Plains, is a famous scholar in the world, and many people admire him.

But unexpectedly, when the enemy was facing him, he tried to overtake the wall without any integrity, and could not even avoid it in the city for a little while. Isn’t this too shameless?

Moreover, after the Wei army entered Chengdu, Xu Jing was one of the first officials to come to see Guo Jia with a shy face, and he squeezed in front of everyone very enthusiastically, without any shame at all.

The older this person lives, the less shameless he is?

Guo Jia found it strange and disdained Xu Jing's character. However, for the need to appease the people, he still called Xu Jing and his group into his temporary residence to meet him, held a banquet to entertain the group of people, and told them that they also had jobs in Wei State and did not have to worry about having no food.

Don't they care about this?

What's the difficulty?

Guo Jia met them, then recorded their performances and the list, sent them to Luoyang and handed them over to Guo Peng, and asked Guo Peng to plan how these people should serve.

Next, a group of former officials from the war team also came to pay their respects to Guo Jia, and Zhang Song was the one who led the lead.

Based on Guo Jia’s understanding of these days, he learned that Zhang Song is an important verbal responsibility of the war faction.

Before the war, when the surrendered faction led by Xu Jing strongly demanded that Liu Zhang surrender without fighting, Zhang Song stepped forward when the scholars of the surrendered faction were defeated by the surrendered faction.

He verbally fought against the scholars, and knocked down the horse with his surrendered faction led by Xu Jing one by one, and then launched an exciting decisive battle with Xu Jing.

The two debated in the court for an hour, and almost foamed at Xu Jing. In the end, Zhang Song defeated Xu Jing, a veteran, with his youth and more flexible head, so Xu Jing retreated.

It can be said that Liu Zhang could make up his mind to do this with Guo Peng, and Zhang Song made an indelible contribution.

He and his brother Zhang Su were both important figures in the war faction. These two people came to pay homage to Guo Jia without thinking, but they were here to apologize for mercy and ask for a future official.

Guo Jia is still very interested in what Zhang Song said.

He doesn't have to meet everyone but only meets the most representative figure. By dealing with this person, he can convey what the Wei regime thought about all the former war factions in Shu.

Zhang Song was a little nervous. After seeing Guo Jia, he felt Guo Jia's kindness and felt a little relieved.

Guo Jia was a little surprised. He thought that Zhang Song was short and not handsome, and looked like an ordinary servant. He could actually fight the Forbidden City Top of the Forbidden City with the Grandmaster-level verbal gun Xu Jing. This was really interesting.

Moreover, Guo Jia did not expect that when Zhang Song saw that he had expressed his intentions straightforwardly, he did not do some chatting to ease the atmosphere. This was really direct.

"I thought Zhang Jun would tell me something else first, instead of just talking about such things to me directly. Zhang Jun, you are really straightforward."

Guo Jia smiled.

Zhang Song smiled embarrassedly.

"We have already reached this situation. I am here to beg for mercy. I hope Guo Pushe can say a few good words to us before His Majesty. At least, we want to live but not die."

Zhang Song lowered his posture very low and spoke very thoroughly.

"That's interesting, Zhang Jun."

Guo Jia took a sip of the fine wine from Shu and smiled and said, "Since I don't want to die, why do you still support the envoy Liu to resist my Emperor Wei? You should know that Your Majesty is never kind to those who oppose him, especially with such high-intensity resistance, which has caused considerable casualties in our army."

Zhang Song's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, he swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "As a minister, we should fulfill our responsibilities as a minister. My brother and I are both officials promoted by Envoy Liu. We must repay Liu's kindness for Envoy Liu.

I did such a thing out of the position of a minister and what Liu Envoy himself wanted to hear. We are just doing what we should do and doing our duties well. At one moment, at another, at another, Guo Pushe should be able to understand."

Guo Jia nodded.

"You are right. I understand that those who are ministers must do their duty, so I look down on Xu Jing who is so proud of his honor."

Zhang Song's expression was slightly better.

"But, Zhang Jun, you should also understand that your persistence has caused quite a lot of casualties to our army. In order to calm the resentment of the army, Your Majesty must take some action against him."

“…”

Zhang Song's face turned pale again.

After quiet for a while, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing as he watched Zhang Song's worse and worse expression.

???

Zhang Song was a little strange now.

What did he laugh at? Is it true that I am so strong that I can’t die well?

"Okay, okay, I won't be kidding, Zhang Jun, you are taking the initiative to surrender this time, not being defeated by force, so Your Majesty will not start a big killing, but on the other hand, it is necessary to punish you and make you pay some price."

Guo Jia gave a note, Zhang Song relaxed and took a few breaths, as if he had survived the disaster.

"What Guo Pushe said seriously?"

Zhang Song was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's not possible to kill people randomly, otherwise I wouldn't let all places start to resume their childbirth immediately, but punishment is also necessary. Otherwise, Your Majesty will be suspected of unknown rewards and punishments, and it will be difficult to convince the public. So you don't even think about what rewards you want, high officials and rich salaries you want."

Guo Jia's tone was a bit stern.

"Yes, this...we all know."

Zhang Song said yes.

It seems that I really won't kill anyone anymore, that's great.

As for official positions and other things... the most important thing is to be alive!

"Of course, that's all your Majesty's business. I don't know how your Majesty will punish you, and I don't dare to say it to the end. I can't help you when you ask me."

Guo Jia took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "By the way, I heard you argued with old man Xu Jing at that time? Tell me the process, it is not easy for this old man to suffer."

It seemed that Guo Jia was very interested in the peak verbal battle, so Zhang Song immediately retelled it and told the fierce battle that day, making Guo Jia feel quite immersive.

After leaving Guo Jia's mansion, Zhang Song breathed a lot of relief.

When he returned home, Zhang Su had been waiting there for a long time. There were also a group of pro-war officials who had been very close to each other in the past. Everyone was carefully waiting for news from Zhang Song.

Zhang Song looked at them and took a deep breath.

"Punishment is indispensable, and high officials and generous salaries are not enough."

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"But the life I'm waiting for is saved."
