Chapter 4 Spreading Your Wings and Flying High
Chapter 4: Flying high
The autumn is cool, and the soldiers in the military camp are full of energy in their training, and loud shouts are coming one after another in the military camp.
Guo Jia walked into the military camp, looked around, and found Guo Ye's figure on the school ground, and walked slowly.
Guo Ye, who is now a lieutenant, did not notice Guo Jia's arrival. However, the few people next to him, Dian Man, Xu Yi and Gan Gui saw Guo Jia, so he came to Guo Ye.
"Young Master Ye, tell me about it and send us to the front line!"
Xu Yi licked her face and said to Guo Ye.
Guo Ye was puzzled, and some people suddenly said this, but the surrounding eyes were focused behind him. He immediately turned his head and looked at him. When he saw Guo Jia smiling, he immediately saluted.
Guo Jia gently said to the young generals around him who saluted him: "Don't care about me, you can continue to lead the troops and practice."
Several generals left with fists, and Dian Wei Xuyi and Gan Gui winked at Guo Ye before leaving, and everyone knew the meaning.
Guo Jia looked at a young man who was standing on Guo Ye's side and not leaving. When he first walked in the distance, he thought it was one of Zhang Hu and Zhang Fang, but now he realized that he was a strange boy.
"Ye'er, who is he?"
Guo Jia was very curious. The boy looked resolute, had a strong body, and was tall, but he was not very old.
Guo Ye rarely smiled bitterly and introduced the boy.
"He is Zhang Yi. His family is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. He clamored to enter the army two years ago. Later, the child was not able to settle him, so he made him a guard."
Guo Jia remembered that Zhang Yi should be about one year older than Guo Ying. At that time, Diao Chan was pregnant, and the Zhang family happened to have a son born. Guo Jia was still wondering whether the baby named Yi was Zhang Yi, a late general of Shu Kingdom in history. Now it seems that he should not be wrong.
"Haha, Zhang Yi, not bad."
Guo Jia had just conquered Chang'an, and the Zhang family invited him to have a full moon wine and couldn't even get out of it. He missed the appearance of the child when he was a baby. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the boy developed so fast, far taller and stronger than usual children.
Taking Guo Ye in the military camp, Guo Jia can see many young faces along the way. Recently, Zhang Hu and Zhang Fang were also sent to the new army by Zhang Yan and Zhang Liao. At least the new generation in the army has had a gratifying situation.
After walking around the military camp, Guo Jia looked at Guo Ye who was almost as tall as him and whispered: "Ye'er, from tomorrow, you leave the military camp and go home to be the eldest son of the Guo family."
Guo Ye was shocked and incredible.
He became a current captain from a small soldier, and he climbed up with his own hands. The new army had no battles to fight, and most of them were going out to suppress bandits and suppress bandits. He completed it very well, so he improved step by step.
Guo Jia asked him to go home, but Guo Ye thought he had done something wrong, or Guo Jia was not satisfied with him.
"Father, baby, baby..."
Guo Ye lowered his head, looking sad and struggling.
He was unwilling to leave the military camp just like this, and he was even more unwilling to be abandoned by Guo Jia like this without understanding.
Yes, Guo Ye felt abandoned in his heart.
Go home and be a young man, do nothing for the rest of your life?
Guo Jia pressed one hand on Guo Ye's shoulder, and his tone became a little heavier.
"Raise your head. Remember, no matter when in the future, don't bow to anyone."
Guo Ye suddenly looked up.
Looking at Guo Jia in shock.
Now, he understood what it means to "go home to be the eldest son of the Guo family"!
"Father, why is this?"
Guo Ye knew very well that he was a concubine's son and had no idea about succession. The only thing he wanted was to do his part to Guo Jia's hegemony.
Guo Jia looked up at the sky, and the blue clouds were floating and volatile.
"Ye'er, next, follow you, look, listen, think carefully, and especially remember everything that will happen in the future. Because soon, a war that will determine the world will break out, and Guo, Cao, Sun, and the three families will surely fall."
Guo Ye was shocked.
Cao Cao wanted to attack Jiangdong, but Sun Quan was the one who was in trouble. Why did he get the Guo family in?
Even if Guo Jia intervenes in the battle between Cao Sun, at least he can protect himself?
"Father, we don't have to live and die with Sun Quan?"
Guo Ye’s question made Guo Jia smile and said, “Everything has risks. The higher the risk, the greater the profit.”
Although the new army did not go out to fight, the generals in the army were paying attention to the situation in the east, especially after Cao Cao went south to surrender to Jingzhou.
The latest news is that officials led by the Minister of Interior of Wu Hou, Zhang Zhao, all advocated surrendering to Cao. Liu Bei, who fled to Jiangxia, sent Zhuge Liang to persuade Wu Hou to resist Cao.
In the eyes of outsiders, there is no conclusion on whether Jiangdong is resisting or surrendering.
"Father, if Zhuge Liang could not convince the Marquis of Wu to resist Cao, Cao Cao would probably have Jiangdong again after he succeeded in the army without bloodshed."
Guo Jia walked forward with his hands behind his back, and Guo Ye followed.
"Ye'er, remember, as a monarch, you cannot do everything according to the wishes of your subordinates, but you cannot oppose your subordinates, especially when you are alive and die. Whether to surrender to Cao or resist Cao, Zhuge Liang, an outsider, cannot affect Sun Quan's decision at all. Faced with more than half of his subordinates' opinions on surrendering Cao, Sun Quan would surrender long ago and would not delay making a decision yet. Sun Quan's wisest thing was to use Zhuge Liang to suppress the voice of surrendering Cao within Jiangdong, and then he came forward to act like he had to resist Cao. Ye'er, this is the way of power."
Guo Jia was walking, Guo Ye was thinking.
Even Guo Jia could imagine the wonderful scene of Zhuge Liang fighting against the scholars. Sun Quan looked gloomy and unhappy when he saw Zhuge Liang humiliating the monarch and ministers in Jiangdong, but he was very proud inside, wishing that Zhuge Liang could speak more sharply.
A few days later, Guo Jia personally held a ceremony for Guo Ye in the Guo Mansion, and gave him his name Gongrui. Before the age of 20, Guo Ye had been through the gates of hell before and after his birth. Guo Jia hoped that from now on, he would have good luck in his life and good luck would accompany him throughout his life.
Guo Ye performed the crown ritual at the age of 20, and no one else had any ideas. This is a matter of course.
However, next, Guo Ye was removed from his military position by Guo Jia and stayed in the mansion. He followed Guo Jia by example every day, which made others think a lot.
The study in the mansion is where Guo Jia often stays. Not only does he collect the remaining ancient books, but also the miscellaneous collections he wrote through his memory for decades. It contains many contents, including examples of the rise and fall of dynasties, factors of victory or defeat in wars, from the disadvantages of the emperor's defeat, to the needs of peddlers and pawns, but they are all valuable knowledge wealth of this era.
These days, Guo Jia asked Guo Ye to read these books in his study and ask him about his experience every day.
Guo Ye stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at the bamboo slips with concentration.
When he was young, he read a lot of books, and he dare not say that he read thousands of volumes. Thousands of volumes are no problem. He has read all the readings of scholars in this era, but he just doesn't like to study them in depth.
The miscellaneous collections written by Guo Jia on the bookshelf opened Guo Ye’s eyes wide, as if it opened the door to another world.
Many ignorant things gave him a profound enlightenment in these books.
The nature of class contradictions, the distribution of land resources, the regime structure of the ruling class, the example of the rise and fall, etc. Although many of the contents seem to be fabricated, it makes people dare not take it as the novelist's words and ignore them.
Guo Jia was sitting at the low table next to him, drinking tea. If Guo Ye had anything to understand, he would come to ask him humbly.
There is a saying that is a famous saying, and it can be learned from history to show success or replacement!
Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were only the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Going forward, there were ancient dynasties, especially the feudal dynasties, which began with the Qin and Han Dynasties. Contemporary people were historical pioneers, and the experience summarized by later generations was by no means something that people in the contemporary world could see clearly.
Guo Jia only summarized the reasons for the prosperity and decline of various dynasties in the feudal era based on his memory, and there were some systems that were advanced than the present, etc., and these were already invisible wealth that was enough to make contemporary people sigh.
The door of the study was wide open, and a beautiful figure appeared beside the door. Guo Jia and Guo Ye looked at the door, and Guo Ye quickly put down the book and saluted the people.
"The child has met his mother."
Cai Yan, who was dignified and graceful, dressed in a generous manner, just stared at Guo Jia with a expressionless face.
Guo Ye didn't know if Cai Yan and Guo Jia had a conflict, so he didn't dare to ask, so he took some books and left.
After Guo Ye left, Cai Yan stepped into the door, closed the door of the study with his backhand, walked to Guo Jia, and sat down.
Guo Jia inexplicably stared at Cai Yan's still gorgeous face, not understanding how he offended her?
This serious expression made Guo Jia confused.
Business, impossible.
Private affairs are only family affairs.
As for family affairs, Guo Jia is left to Zhen Jiang, the wife of the righteous. If it is really awkward, it is nothing more than for the woman.
It was beyond everyone's expectations that Cai Yan would never come to Guo Jia and get angry for a concubine.
"If you have something to say, you make me feel a little nervous."
Guo Jia picked up the tea and drank it, and glanced at her helplessly.
Cai Yan suddenly grabbed Guo Jia's arm with both hands, raised his chest and leaned forward to Guo Jia. Guo Jia turned his head and looked at Cai Yan in confusion. The two of them had a face less than a palm. Guo Jia suddenly saw the crystal clear tears in Cai Yan's eyes, and the panic and fear deep in his eyes.
"Husband, I want to hear the truth today. Are you planning to fight Cao Cao? Are you ready to die on the battlefield?"
After Cai Yan finished speaking, two lines of tears fell.
Her voice trembled and her lack of confidence made Guo Jia's heart tremble.
Guo Jia stared at her and didn't say anything, because she was shocked by her behavior.
Well, why did you cry?
Cai Yan saw that he didn't speak and thought he was right, so he hugged Guo Jia tightly, buried his head in his chest and cried even more sadly.
"Do you want to make Ye'er the prince? Do you have to arrange your funeral? I am very afraid. If you want to take risks with yourself, in this world, I would rather give up your husband..."
Cai Yan cried in Guo Jia's chest, but she burst into tears, but Guo Jia looked speechless.
What is this called?
Smartness is wrongly mistaken.
