A day later, Guo Jia finally returned to Chengdu.

Although the battlefield outside the east gate had been cleaned, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. The dark red blood stains on the land were shocking. Guo Jia, who was walking down from the carriage with a cloak, was blown by the cold wind, and he felt dizzy. Xu Shu saw Guo Jia's shaking look and wanted to help him, but Guo Jia waved to him. After forcing himself to cheer up, Guo Jia walked towards Chengdu with his head held high.

The situation of welcoming Guo Jia was not overwhelming. Wendong and Wu stood in two rows. Guo Jia walked to Xi Zhicai, led by the strategist, and said lightly: "Zhicai, you have worked hard for days, thank you for your hard work."

The pressure was all in Chengdu to rebel against Xu He and Zhang Baiqi. No one could understand the burden on Xi Zhicai's shoulders. Even Guo Jia could not put himself in his shoes and truly understand the hardships.

Xi Zhicai smiled and lowered his head slightly and said to Guo Jia, "My lord is ill, so hurry up and go to the city, it's windy here."

The friendship between the two was completely unspeakable. Guo Jia nodded, turned around and moved to the side of the general. Gao Shun, who stood behind Gan Ning, expressed his calm expression. Guo Jia said to him with deep satisfaction and joy: "Gongxiao, the camp of the army is well deserved to be the elite of my Taiping Army. This time, the camp of the army is of great contribution to the defeat of the rebels. Those who have made great contributions will be rewarded again, and those who have been killed and injured will be rewarded even more. This time, no matter how you stop me, it will not do it."

In the past, the treatment of the trap camp was already very high. Gao Shunsheng was afraid that the soldiers would slack off their training after going from frugality to extravagant, so Guo Jia wanted to reward the trap camp several times and was stopped by Gao Shun. However, this time, Gao Shun no longer stopped Guo Jia. The trap camp was 6,000 soldiers. Now that it was lost, there were only 4,000 left. It was Gao Shun's unshirkable for those brothers who died or were seriously injured and could not join the army. It was Gao Shun's unshirkable thing, and Guo Jia took the initiative to propose that Gao Shun was very moved. As for himself, Guo Jia did not mention it. It was not that Guo Jia did not value him, but that Guo Jia knew Gao Shun. Gao Shun would rather not want anything, but he would definitely fight for some benefits for the soldiers and reward them. It would be better to directly reward the soldiers.

Turning his eyes again, facing Gan Ning, who had not seen for several months, Jinfan Qu Shuai was still heroic. Guo Jia smiled gently and said, "Xingba, these days have made you and Jinfan Army suffer. The cold winter is approaching, Jinfan Army will spend the winter in Chengdu for the time being. When the spring warms up next year, then return to Zitong to repair the Kanjia Road."

Gan Ning clasped his fists and said without hesitation: "Thank you lord."

After praising several civil and military officials one after another, Guo Jia walked into Chengdu with his head held high and his chest, with civil and military officials following him closely behind.

Although Chengdu experienced the Xuhe rebellion and the wealthy family also took advantage of the situation, Guo Jia had not been affected by war along the way, and everything was in order, just like when he left, but the streets were a little deserted and depressed.

When he arrived outside the General's Mansion, Xi Zhicai suddenly walked up and whispered beside Guo Jia: "Lord, Xu and his father and son are tied up in the meeting hall, waiting for the lord to leave."

After a pause, his gentle expression disappeared and became cold and cold. Guo Jia let out a sigh of relief, looked at the General's Mansion with sharp eyes, and stepped up the stone steps.

After crossing the threshold and entering the front yard, Guo Jia saw two broken armor kneeling towards him in the conference hall. From the back, he looked slightly short, probably Xu He's son.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi were standing by the outside door of the hall, just about to come up to salute Guo Jia, but Guo Jia turned a blind eye and kept walking. When passing by Xiao Ren, he pulled out Xiao Ren's sword.

throat

The crisp sword sounded, and Guo Jia, who was fitted with a snow-white cloak, walked into the conference hall, passed through the middle of Xu and his father and son, and raised the sharp sword in his hand, falling together without hesitation, and penetrated into the back of Xu and his son.

puff

Blood surged out from Xu and his son's chest, and the sword tip was shining with a faint light.

Falling towards the ground, Xu He's son bleeding from his body, and the sharp sword inserted on his back trembled back and forth.

Xu He, who had already surrendered and felt as if he was silent, did not expect that the shock would change so quickly. He knew that he was dead, but he hoped to meet Guo Jia to ask for a way out for his son and his generals. The only son who fell beside him was lying in a pool of blood, silently, with a young face facing Xu He, and his eyes that had not had time to close were dark and dull.

"Guo Jia, it was me Xu He who rebels. You kill my son! You are ungrateful! You want to take revenge and come to me! My son is less than twenty years old! What's the point of killing him! Guo Jia, my Taiping Dao is incompatible with you!"

Although his hands were tied behind him, Xu He was still like a wounded beast, roaring and struggling to stand up and rush towards Guo Jia.

Everything happened too quickly. Before Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi could enter the lobby, Guo Jia killed Xu and his son, and Xu He also suddenly attacked in a flash.

Guo Jia, who walked to the main position, turned around and was ready to lift up and kicked Xu He's lower abdomen who was rushing towards him.

After several steps back, he staggered. Xu He fell on his back, but he turned over and stood up again. He wanted to rush up and put Guo Jia to death. He stepped on his feet, bumped his body, and bite with his teeth. No matter what method, Xu He was going to rush to Guo Jia.

But as soon as he took a step, he was kicked hard from behind his knees. He bent his legs and knelt down again. He wanted to get up, but someone pressed his shoulders down.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi subdued Xu He on the left and right, waiting for Guo Jia's order.

Standing at the low table at the main seat, Guo Jia gently untied the belt tied to his chest, took off his snow-white cloak and threw it on the table. Guo Jia, who was wearing a dark red brocade robe, turned around, looked cold, and walked slowly to Xu He, tilted his head and gritted his teeth at him, and his eyes were bloodied, and said, "Xu He, am I ungrateful? You must be able to explain this truth clearly today, and I, Guo Jia, can you deal with it."

Civil and military officials had already entered the lobby and were arranged on both sides. Whether it was the military general led by Zhang Yan, Gan Ning, or the counselor led by Xu Shu, they all had no expression on their faces and treated Xu He indifferently.

Xu He, whose hair was shining with blood on his face, looked overwhelmed with hatred, said to Guo Jia, "Isn't your actions ungrateful? I captured Yizhou by Taiping Road, why are other generals enjoying happiness in Chengdu? I, Sima Jia, and Zhang Baiqi, are going to remote places? Can you have what you are today? Isn't it the contribution of my Taiping Road to help you? You said that the people of Taiping Road should live and work in peace, but the soldiers under my command don't even have a place to live, so how can we live in peace? How can relatives in our family enjoy their work? Guo Jia, isn't this ungrateful?"

When Guo Jia heard Xu He's accusation, he laughed in anger. Many soldiers of the Taiping Army did not even have a hut, but military camps were their shelter. Guo Jia did not forget the people who migrated with Guo Jia's attack on Yizhou. However, the matter was prioritized. He could not conquer Yizhou and violated the interests of the powerful people and divided their land for the Taiping Army's family to farm.

"Guo Jia, why are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Xu Heheng angrily and roared at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia put away his smile, bent down and looked at Xu He, his handsome face was not emotional, and said coldly: "Xu He! Listen to me clearly what I said, do you say other generals enjoy happiness in Chengdu? Go and ask Gao Shun, he lives in the military camp every day, has he been living in the house I give him? Go and ask Gan Ning again, he leads Jinfan Army to build Kuangjian Pavilion Road in Zitong County, wind and rain, and the weather is cold, can he enjoy a day of happiness? Other generals are in Chengdu, but most of them eat and sleep in the military camp with the soldiers, and you, Zhang Baiqi and Sima Ju, how have you been here in the past few months? What do you eat? What do you wear? Where do you live? When you are full of wine and food, you still have colleagues in the robes of hunger and cold! Don't compare them with you!"

Xu He's face stagnated, and his surging hatred surged back as if he was subjected to resistance, but Guo Jia hadn't finished speaking yet.

"You have made contributions, and your soldiers have made contributions. I have never dared to forget that you think that letting the people live and work in peace is a simple little thing? Who will build their residence? Who will provide their food and clothing? Who will provide them with their food and clothing? They want to cultivate land and work? Less than half a year after I entered Yizhou, you want me to let the people have food and clothing immediately, but I can't do it! But, think about what you ate when you hid in the mountains and forests before you took over me? What are you wearing? After your soldiers arrived in Yizhou, did you not get enough food for a day? Do you think the soldiers lived in the military camps hard? If they suffer, don't join the army! Go back and be cowardly and be ridden on your head for the rest of your life!"

Xu He was dumbfounded by refutation, but he was still unwilling to give up and said hatefully to Guo Jia: "Then why did you kill Sima Ju? Sima Ju made great contributions to you. No matter who you kill, you can't kill him!"

When Guo Jia mentioned this, he became even more furious and said to Xu He coldly: "Whether Sima Ju should be killed? It's not that he has made many contributions, but whether he committed a death sentence! Xu He, do you know what Sima Ju did in Badong County? You always want to seek justice for him, but is Sima Ju worth it? He recruited soldiers privately and oppressed the people, and was extravagant. When I returned to Badong County, countless people sued me. Haven't you ever thought that three years ago, five years ago, ten years ago, you were all ordinary people, and you were bullied and desperate to rise up. Now, you have the potential and have the ability to make meritorious contributions to Guo Jia, and you can ride on the heads of the people as a hero?"

As soon as he looked up and looked around the lobby, Guo Jia glanced over everyone with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let me hear it clearly! For me, Guo Jia, there is no such thing as merit or demerit! If you have merits, I will reward you! If you have done so, I will punish you!"

Xu He hung his head as if he was mentally disintegrated, muttering something.
