Chapter 68: Horse for general

Guo Jia was able to easily enter and exit the Jizhou prison, so it was naturally because of Zhen Yu's relationship. In addition, he also had a friendship with Xun Chen, so it was naturally not a problem for him to visit the prison freely.

After leaving the prison, Guo Jia rode on the snow-shaded horse and left the city and returned to Ma Chao's camp. From beginning to end, he never thought about leaving. Of course, this was not to say that Ma Chao is very charming, but to Guo Jia is optimistic about Ma Chao and wants to use this matter to test Ma Chao again.

Yesterday, when Guo Jia came to the city, he found Zhen Yu directly and told Zhen Yu about his purpose of entering the city. However, when Guo Jia took the initiative to ask Zhen Yu to plead, he told Han Fu that Ma Chao was willing to take out 500 war horses in exchange for Zhang He and Gao Lan and the others.

When Zhen Yu heard Guo Jia ask him to interfere with Han Fu's political affairs, he seemed hesitant at first. After all, he has always been open and his family does not participate in political events. However, when he heard Guo Jia want to exchange for war horses, he readily agreed, because if war horses are exchanged, Zhen Yu became an intermediary, which is a form of business, and this matter is in line with his mentality of not participating in political affairs.

This happened unexpectedly. When Zhen Yu met Han Fu and told Ma Chao about the conditions he offered, he immediately made the decision and released him immediately as soon as he saw the war horse.

Guo Jia made the decision for Ma Chao and proposed to exchange 500 war horses for the lives of Zhang and He. Of course, there is a reason, and Guo Jia's temptation is also the desire to test.

With a complicated mood, when Guo Jia returned to the camp, Ma Chao, who had received the news from the sentry in the camp, led all the soldiers of the camp to line up to greet him.

Guo Jia, who was riding on the horse, just entered the camp gate and saw this formation. While feeling moved, he hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao stepped forward and smiled with him, "Sir, I have worked hard for this trip. Please rest in the big tent. Chao has ordered someone to prepare food and drinks."

"General, you are polite!" Guo Jia saw Ma Chao's respect for him was obviously from the bottom of his heart. If he had first met, he would still feel strange, but after hearing about Ma Chao's dream of meeting a god, he already understood that Ma Chao was really treating him as a gentleman and a master.

When Pang De and Gao Shun saw Ma Chao, they saw only Guo Jia, and they were really confused. However, out of trust in Ma Chao, they did not speak and followed them into Ma Chao's tent.

As soon as the four of them sat down, the food and drinks were also delivered. Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Ma Chao was not worried and came back early. He knew that things should be smoother. He was in a good mood, so he naturally didn't rush to ask. Instead, he raised his glass and said, "Mr. Guo, this glass of wine is toast you first. No matter what the teacher has to do in the future, I, Ma Chao, will do my best to do it for the teacher."

"Please, please, two generals." Guo Jia hurriedly raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together. As soon as he said this, he obviously did not regard himself as an outsider.

In fact, Guo Jia didn't talk about the situation in the city directly, but was thinking about the wording. When he drank the wine in the glass, Guo Jia put down the wine cup and asked: "General, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, two generals, are they worth 500 war horses?"

Ma Chao looked at Guo Jia attentively, and thought about it, and replied: "It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a good general. Zhang He and Gao Lan are all talented as generals. Five hundred war horses are worth it."

Gao Shun and Pang De already knew something about this, but when they heard that Ma Chao was willing to use 500 war horses to exchange for the lives of two small officials in front of the army, they were still a little moved. After all, 500 well-trained war horses were hard to find.

"Prince and Virtue." Seeing that Ma Chao's brows were not frowned, Guo Jia answered, and quickly stood up and bowed.

"Sir, please get up quickly. If you have something to say, just let me know. Chao is really not used to these many etiquettes." Ma Chao smiled cheerfully and stood up to show his return.

Guo Jia was naturally satisfied with Ma Chao's actions, so he nodded and said, "Jia agreed to the Hanzhou Governor for Gong Ming to exchange for the two generals Zhang and He. I hope Ming Gong will not blame him."

It's worth it. If you really want to exchange five hundred horses for it, Ma Chao still feels a little bit painful, but seeing that Guo Jia has already responded, he couldn't be stingy and could only smile and said, "Mr. Guo must have a reason for doing this, and he can trust Mr.

Hearing Ma Chao's clear reply, Guo Jia naturally felt that Ma Chao's trust in him. In addition to feeling, he explained: "Ming Gong was right. Jia thought that the five hundred war horses were exchanged, not the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan, but the hearts of the scholars of the world. As today's chaos, all the knowledgeable people chose to live in the wise rulers. Now, the affairs of the two minor officials in front of the army were spread, and once the Ming Gong's love for talents will be known to everyone in the world. With this reputation, how can the scholars of the world not fall in love with each other?"

"This righteous act of joining forces with the princes to fight against Dong and protect the Han Dynasty can make Ming Gong famous. If you add this reputation of cherishing talents, why should you worry about the big things and the world be uneasy?"

After Guo Jia's words, Ma Chao nodded in agreement, and was deeply amazed at Guo Jia's foresight. He had never thought of such a profound thing, but Guo Jia thought of it. This made Ma Chao sigh that only the combination of civil and military can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

When Pang De and Gao Shun listened to Guo Jia's insight, they thought about it carefully and found that this matter was really a long-term strategy. The effect that could be achieved was indeed beyond the value of five hundred war horses.

"Mr. Guo is very insightful and Chao is taught. I hope that Mr. can always be with him. I ask for advice every day. If Mr. refuses to give up, please accept Chao's bow." When Ma Chao saw Guo Jia's ability, he would be willing to let go. He naturally beat the snake with the stick and tangled him on the spot.

"Mr. Ming Gong asked me to get up quickly. Later on, when Zhang He and Gao Lan were rescued first, Jia will reply." Guo Jia nodded slightly, obviously he knew it.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Ma Chao was already overjoyed and said, "Okay, drink, don't get drunk today, and go to the city to change generals tomorrow morning."

"Slowly, it's still early at this time, so it's not too late. You can replace the two generals first and come back to drink." Guo Jia hurriedly stopped.

"Okay, Ling Ming, Brother Gao, you can choose the war horse immediately. Let's go and change people now." Seeing Guo Jia's serious attitude, Ma Chao quickly put down his wine glass and ordered.

"No!" The second general stood up and left without saying a word.

"Ming Gong, Jizhou is full of talents, and this matter cannot be entrusted. Xun Chen did not object to this, because he gave me face. But once Ju Su or Xin Ping and others return, they will definitely see the mystery. At that time, Han Fu will definitely be persuaded to stop Han Fu, because on the surface, it seems that Han Fu benefited, but in fact it is us benefited. After this, the scholars in the world know that Hanzhou's governor is more important than talent. In this way, it can be said that he will cut off the door for the scholars in the world to resign." When Gao Shun and the others left, Guo Jia revealed the benefits and disadvantages.

Ma Chao was also shocked. He really didn't understand Guo Jia's relationship with this.

Seeing that Ma Chao understood the truth, Guo Jia said, "Ming Gong then brought the horse to meet. Jia is now back to the city immediately to facilitate the exchange."
