A month after Jushou and Guo Jia defected to him, Zhao Yun sent someone to deliver a message saying that they had reunited with the senior officials and would be back soon, so that his lord could rest assured.
What I am proud to mention is that Jushou and Guo Jia were introduced to everyone by Yuan Shao on the second day after they took refuge.
Yuan Shao asked Jushou and Shenpei to take charge of county affairs together and exercise the power of the prefect. Let Tian Feng and Gao Lan be responsible for the resettlement of the people, and make preparations first to accept the people.
Jushou is indeed the top strategist in the Three Kingdoms. In less than three days, he has already impressed everyone, and he has become more and more like the top strategist under him.
Guo Jia, who is also a top counselor, is a bit of a headache. Originally, Yuan Shao planned to let him join the army and become a military counselor. Unexpectedly, he has disappeared since the first time he saw him. He lives in a brothel every day and does not do his job properly.
Yuan Shao has not even seen a serious person in person for so many days, so he will not even mention arranging work for him. We can only let him go, and Yuan Shao is helpless for this.
On this day, Yuan Shaozheng and Ju were chatting happily about trivial matters about the Bohai Sea.
Yuan Fang was seen running over in a hurry, with a happy face, and reported as he ran, "My lord, I'm so happy, General Zhao and the others are back."
What, Zhao Yun and the others came back, Yuan Shao stood up suddenly, asked Ju Shou and Yuan Fang to prepare for the reception of Feng Banquet, and he ran out of the house to greet them.
Arriving at the city gate, Tian Feng was already arranging soldiers to resettle the people of Luoyang. Senior officials were assisting, asking the soldiers to go home and have a good rest, and then gather at the military camp in three days.
Yuan Shao was very relieved about them and went straight to the back of the team to greet Zhao Yun and the others without disturbing them.
Zhao Yun's horse was sharp and when he saw his lord coming in person, he quickly dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"Zhao Yun has met his lord, and he welcomes him personally. Yun is flattered."
Yuan Shao turned over and dismounted, helped Zhao Yun up and said, "Zilong has worked hard all the way, get up quickly."
Zhao Yun stood up and said, "This is what Yun should do, why bother talking about it.".
Then he thought of something and said, "We have brought back the ashes of the Bohai soldiers. What should I do if my lord please give me a signal?"
Yuan Shaomeng thought that there was still this problem, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll take care of them after I take care of you today and send them home."
"Brothers who died on behalf of Yun, thank you Lord," Zhao Yun promised.
While they were talking, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Yan Liang, and their nephew Gao Gan also arrived. Seeing Yuan Shao coming in person, they all dismounted and knelt down in the tunnel.
"Liao and others have come to see the lord, and the lord has come to welcome you from afar."
Yuan Shao helped them up one by one and said, "Thank you for your hard work, no need to be polite. Follow me into the city quickly, so that I can cleanse you of the wind and dust."
"Thank you, Lord", everyone stood up and thanked him.
Finally, he came to his nephew Gao Gan and saw him smiling heartlessly. Yuan Shaoyi said happily, "Don't be silly, just let me entertain everyone and go back."
"I know, uncle," Gao Gan responded with a smile and followed his uncle home.
So everyone went straight to the banquet place. Passing by Tian Feng and Gao Lan, Yuan Shao told them to go to the prefect's mansion to cleanse themselves of the generals when it was over.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, after hearing the news, the judge and others came to the mansion to wait, and Yuan Fang was already ready.
There was no need for humility, everyone was divided into civil and military ranks, and Yuan Shao naturally sat high on the throne.
Yuan Shao picked up the wine glass and said happily, "The generals have worked hard escorting the people back. Of course, the other civil and military personnel have also worked hard. Shao thanks everyone here." He drank the glass full.
"Serve the Lord, even to the death," all the civil and military officials agreed in unison and did it.
Yuan Shao was so excited and happy that he told everyone to be polite and casual.
Everyone was not polite, so they began to eat and drink wildly. There were servants waiting on them, and for a while they drank and drank, everything was messy, and they were all in a mess.
Yuan Shao also toasted frequently, telling Jushou and the others to relax and enjoy as they pleased.
After eating for a while, Yuan Shao suddenly thought that no one had informed Guo Jia yet, so he waved Yuan Fang over.
When Yuan Fang saw his lord's gesture, he ran over and asked, "What are your orders, lord?".
Yuan Shao said, "Today I'm going to pick up the wind and cleanse the dust for the generals. I don't know about Fengxiao. You can help him find it and join us together."
"This, this, can I not go?" Yuan Fang said a little unhappy.
Yuan Shao was very confused and asked, "Why don't you want to go? Give me a reason?".
Yuan Fang said confidently, "I feel that he is just a drunkard and a foodie, with no ability. Today's banquet is prepared for meritorious ministers, and he is not suitable."
Oh, it seems that Yuan Fang has a strong opinion on Guo Jia and doubts his ability. No, I probably never thought he was capable. To be honest, I am a little skeptical, but just because his name is Guo Jia, it can prove everything. Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, he is the only one in the Three Kingdoms.
Yuan Shaokai explained, "Haha, Fengxiao is so bohemian. You'd better go find him. You will know how powerful he is in the future."
Yuan Fang expressed that he didn't believe it and couldn't disobey his lord's order. He was a little entangled and it seemed that he could only go to Guo Jia.
I was struggling like this, and as soon as I reached the door, I heard that annoying sound.
"It smells so good. It's so lively here today. I mustn't be late."
I saw Guo Jia walking in a little drunk and yelling.
Hearing his voice, everyone stopped, stared at this uninvited guest curiously, and started talking among themselves.
Why is he here? He hasn't had a drink in the brothel yet? , this is the discussion of Shen Pei and others. They have met Guo Jia and know him well.
Who is this gentleman? Why is he so out of character and so drunk? , this was what Zhao Yun and the others were talking about, it was their first time meeting Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was completely unaware of this and did not salute Yuan Shao. He went straight to Jushou's side, sat down, and drank to himself, which made everyone look at him.
Today was a banquet, not a formal occasion. Yuan Shao did not introduce Ju Shou and Guo Jia to Zhao Yun and the others in preparation for discussing matters tomorrow.
Seeing that Guo Jia had messed up the atmosphere, Yuan Shao felt a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "We are all Shao's confidants here today, so there is no need to be formal, just feel free to do whatever you want. We are not talking about business today, just drinking." He then asked everyone to continue drinking. .
After hearing what the lord said, everyone turned the page and became active again, and the harmonious atmosphere returned.
After a while, Tian Feng and Gao Lan finished handling the matter of settling the people, and came to the banquet hall together.
They reported to their lord together and bowed. Yuan Shao indicated that he should be casual and there was no need to be formal.
The two expressed their understanding, and then were pulled over by others and started drinking together.
Everyone seemed to be in great spirits, and they kept drinking until the moon rose and everyone dispersed.
Yuan Shao also drank too much, so he arranged for Yuan Fang to send someone to send them back to rest, but he went straight to the bedroom and fell asleep, saying nothing all night.
