Having acquired two top counselors from the Three Kingdoms in a row, one can imagine Yuan Shao's mood. He would wake up laughing even in his dreams.
He took Jushou and called Tian Feng back to the prefect's mansion to hold a banquet to celebrate. He wanted to hold Guo Jia's hand, but seeing the disgusted look on his face, Yuan Shao said it was better to forget it.
After a while, he returned to the mansion and met Yuan Fang coming out. When he saw that his lord had not returned for a long time and Wen Chou was not around, he was very worried and prepared to find him.
Seeing Yuan Shao come back, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. So Yuan Shao asked him to arrange a banquet to entertain the two great sages.
Yuan Fang expressed his understanding and asked for instructions whether to ask the civil and military personnel left behind to accompany them. Yuan Shao thought for a while and decided to forget it and let them go about their business. Let's introduce them together when Zhao Yun and the others come back. Yuan Fang accepted the order and went to prepare.
When they arrived at the living room, the guests and hosts were seated separately. Yuan Shao was curious about how Guo Jia knew his identity, so he asked, "How did Fengxiao find out my identity?"
Jushou and Tian Feng also looked curious and pricked their ears, waiting for Guo Jia's answer.
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said, "This is nothing. Jia observed that his lord has a noble temperament and extraordinary conversation. He must have been born into a noble family and must be an official in Bohai. He also saw his lord persuading Ju Shou. He was very anxious and confident, so he guessed that he was inseparable. Ten. Then I thought about Si Zhao. Isn't it Shao? So I know the identity of the lord."
"Bah bang bang, this analysis is very exciting." Yuan Shao took the lead in applauding, indicating that he had learned a lesson.
Jushou also admired Guo Jia's analysis, and Tian Feng also began to face up to this drunkard who was much younger than himself. He was so powerful and thoughtful.
Guo Jia accepted this calmly without showing any expression. He suddenly thought of something and confirmed, "I didn't recognize the master at that time, and the master put me under house arrest. If Jia escaped, what would the master do?".
After saying that, he waited expectantly for Yuan Shao's answer. Yuan Shao said without thinking, "Since it is not of use to me, I will destroy it."
"Hahaha"
When Guo Jia heard the answer he wanted to hear, he was very satisfied and laughed wildly.
Jushou also began to look at Guo Jia seriously. Although he knew that Guo Jia was very powerful, he never thought that he could be treated like this by his lord. It was not easy. But he is not bad at all. If there is a chance, he will try to see who is the first counselor under the lord's command.
Tian Feng finally knew Guo Jia's position in his lord's heart, and he also had the idea of competing. Of course, these are things for later.
Yuan Fang was not slow, and before Yuan Shao and his ministers could say a few words, he came to report, "My lord, the banquet is ready. Please enjoy it with your lord and gentlemen."
Oh, as soon as he heard that there was something delicious to eat, Guo Jia couldn't wait to rush out. He took Yuan Fang and asked him to lead the way. He wanted to taste it first.
Yuan Fang glanced at him in surprise and ignored him, thinking that this person couldn't be a liar. He looked like a foodie no matter what.
Seeing that Guo Jia was so unruly, Yuan Shao said angrily, "In that case, Yuan Fang, please lead Feng Xiao first, and the gentlemen and I will arrive soon."
"Yes, yes, take me first," Guo Jia also echoed.
Yuan Fang was sure that he was a foodie, so he listened to his master and took him away first. He stared at Guo Jia with the eyes of a foodie along the way, but he didn't care at all.
Yuan Shao was helpless, and he knew that Guo Jia was a prodigal, very unruly.
He led Ju Sue and Tian Feng to follow Guo Jia and the others to the banquet hall.
Yuan Fang arranged for us to take a good seat, and then ordered his servants to quickly bring out the good wine and food. When everyone was ready, he let them go down, and waited inside without being told not to come in.
Yuan Shao poured a full cup, held it up, and said happily, "Please raise your cup together and drink it to the fullest. Today Shaoneng is lucky enough to meet a talented person. It is worth celebrating."
Everyone raised their glasses together, except Guo Jia, who drank the wine and congratulated, "My lord, you are so complimentary. We are so lucky to meet your lord."
He ate and drank to himself, ignoring everyone else. Now I finally understand why Guo Jia defected to Yuan Shao in the first place and ended up with Cao Cao. He must not be able to stand his character. Fortunately, I didn't pay much attention to it, so I just let him go. Maybe the talent has a weird personality, Yuan Shao comforted himself.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the main event is here.
Yuan Shao got straight to the point and said, "Now the treacherous ministers are causing chaos, and your majesty is wandering around. I, the Yuan family, have been favored by the Han Dynasty for many generations, and I am determined to use my strength and life to revitalize and restore the Liu Han world. However, Duke Huan of Qi would not have achieved hegemony without Guan Zhong, and Gou Jian would not have achieved success without Fan Li." It is possible to save the Yue Kingdom. Now I want to work together with the princes to stabilize the country. What strategies can the princes use to correct me?"
Jushou took the lead and said, "The general was appointed by the imperial court when he was less than twenty years old, and his reputation spread throughout the country. When Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, the general became loyal and righteous, and rode out alone, which made Dong Zhuo fearful. You Cross the Yellow River to the north, and the people of Bohai will surrender. You have an army in a county, send out a message, and the princes will respond, and your reputation will be respected by the world. If you can gather the people of Jizhou and be powerful enough to control the north of the Yellow River, and send troops to the east, you can Sweep away the Yellow Turbans. Return the army to attack Heishan, and you can destroy Zhang Yan. Turn your troops to the north, and you will definitely capture Gongsun Zan. Use your power to intimidate the people in the Rongdi area, and you can immediately pacify the Xiongnu. Sweep north of the Yellow River and merge the four states. The territory, recruiting heroes and talents, with millions of troops, went to Chang'an to welcome His Majesty, restored the ancestral temple in Luoyang, issued orders to the world, and conquered those who disobeyed. With such conditions to determine the outcome, who can resist! A few years later , it is not difficult to establish a career."
"Okay, okay, okay"
Yuan Shao said three good words in a row, which showed that he agreed with Ju Shou's strategy. What he said made his blood boil, and he wished he could realize it now.
Tian Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately took Ju Shou as his confidant, because his ideas coincided with his own.
Although Yuan Fang didn't know much about it, he still knew the meaning of commanding the world with millions of people. He felt so powerful. This gentleman was so powerful. He was much more powerful than the drunkard next to him. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Ju Shou was so powerful and offered such a perfect strategy, so what would Guo Jia have to say? Yuan Shao was looking forward to Guo Jia's advice.
After waiting for a long time, Guo Jia didn't say anything. Maybe he was afraid and thought he couldn't compete with Jushou, so he gave up.
Yuan Shao was very curious. He looked up and was speechless. I saw Guo Jia fell asleep at some point, and soon he heard the sound of snoring. Forget it, let's ask again when he wakes up.
Really, Yuan Shao should be calm during his self-hypnosis and let Yuan Fang arrange a room for Guo Jia to rest. Yuan Fang obeyed the order and personally sent Guo Jia off to rest.
He continued to invite Ju Sue and Tian Feng to drink, and they naturally accepted everyone who came. Just one drink for you and one for me. We were both drunk and fell asleep unconsciously.
