"The expansion target of the Guards in Chengdu is 30,000, and another 30,000 new troops will be recruited in Yizhou. In the future military planning, Yizhou will ensure 200,000 troops."

With 100,000 naval divisions, 10,000 silver-feathered flying cavalry, 30,000 guards, plus 30,000 Zhang Yan's 30,000 troops and 30,000 new troops, Guo Jia's idea in Yizhou was to have 200,000 troops, the navy was external, while other troops could attack and defend.

Generals such as Xu Du, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Guo Jia will use their battlefield in the north. After gradually recovering in Guanzhong, except for the special camp of the trap, the troops under other generals will gradually expand, and there must be 200,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Otherwise, going out of Guandong to enter the Central Plains would be a joke. If there are no soldiers, how can you conquer cities and plunder? If you don’t have enough soldiers, you will be asking for trouble and returning home.

There are orders of recruiting troops, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. If you are quick, you will not achieve it. After the battle of Guanzhong, Guo Jia's focus on expanding the army was to start with Yizhou.

This is a gesture, as always, a strategy that Guo Jia is using tirelessly.

Before attacking the enemy, you must first remove the enemy's defense.

His focus returned to Yizhou was to show Yuan Shao and Cao, and to show a neutral attitude.

If you two want to compete in the Central Plains, I will watch it on the wall.

After this series of actions, Guo Jia thought that in the eyes of outsiders, he would definitely think that he was planning to plan for Jingzhou.

This is exactly what Guo Jia thought.

"It's getting late. Since you already know the detailed plan, then we will draw up the charter for recruiting troops as soon as possible to show me."

After saying that, Guo Jia stretched out indecently, and his handsome face was a little lazy. At this time, he really couldn't tell that he was twenty-seven years old, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the eldest boy next door.

The civil servants at the hall smiled knowingly, bowed to Guo Jia together and then stepped out.

This is how Guo Jia made a decision in the general direction, giving his subordinates all the detailed and tedious work.

Recruiting troops sounds simple, but it is actually very complicated.

It’s not just that shouting a slogan can make the people flock to join the army.

The first thing to consider is the strength of Guo Jia's subordinates, how much military expenditure can be borne, how many troops can be supported, and what conditions should be given to the soldiers when there is no crisis in finance, people's livelihood and other aspects.

Without benefits and generous treatment, the people will not risk their lives to go to the battlefield. There are very few young people with passion in this era. Even if they understand the right and wrong, they will inevitably be greedy for life and fear of death.

Recruiting soldiers is nothing more than using money, food, official titles, and land to attract the people to join the army. Sun Ce was able to rise in Jiangdong in an instant, and what benefited from his recruitment policy. The troops he brought to Jiangdong were Danyang soldiers, which were sharp but rare. Sun Ce easily pulled up tens of thousands of troops with a slogan, which was because he or he had capable people around him who captured the people's psychology well.

To serve Sun Ce in the army, all taxes are exempted, and all taxes for his family are also exempted.

The current heavy taxes and taxes have made Sun Ce's policy strongly supported and supported by the people of Jiangdong. Under this policy, how could the soldiers under Sun Ce not work hard for him? How could they not support the rule of the Sun family?

Sun Ce's cleverness is that he has self-knowledge. Before leaving Jiangdong, Sun Jian formed a grudge with the local wealthy families in Jiangdong. With Sun Jian's actions in Jingzhou, some of the gentry in Jiangdong were very resistant to the Sun family. Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River and returned to Jiangdong, and wanted to gain a foothold and let the Sun family rule this land. The gap with the gentry and wealthy families could not be resolved overnight. Therefore, he skipped this class and directly gained the support of the people. After having a strong army, he no longer had to look at the faces of the gentry and wealthy families.

As for the gentry and tyrants who had a great influence in the local area, they simply had some si military slaves. Under Sun Ce's high-profile and popular policies, it was difficult for them to incite the people to oppose Sun Ce. From a certain point of view, Sun Ce's rise in Jiangdong and his sudden emergence with Guo Jia was the same destination.

The time, people's hearts, external environment, and the rise of Sun Ce and Guo Jia are all similar.

Sometimes Guo Jia also thought that if Sun Ce had not died by accident in history, it was hard to say how big the development and fearless Jiangdong overlord would have laid a great foundation for the Sun family, especially Sun Ce who dared to act and had talented people around him. He could listen to loyal advice and trust his subordinates, including both Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu. If Lu Su was willing to assist Sun Ce, Sun Ce would not be attacked by the Yangtze River, he might have created another era different from Sun Quan in the Sun family.

Although Sun Quan, unlike Cao Pi, turned directly to the gentry, but Sun Quan eventually turned his ruling foundation from the people and the cold to the gentry.

Back to the topic, it is not a big problem for Guo Jia to recruit soldiers in Yizhou. The key point is the speed of recovery in Guanzhong.

The people support Guo Jia, which is the advantage of the people. If Guo Jia is in a military service, there is no moral constraint.

After Guanzhong was captured by Guo Jia, a large area of ​​land in Guanzhong was awarded to the soldiers who had made meritorious. This was much higher than the income of the people's hard work. It was like an office worker who saw a financier get rich overnight and was definitely impossible to be jealous, but he often ignored the countless wealth of financiers.

Wealth and honor are sought in danger. In the world, lofty ideals are too far away for the people. What attracts them the most is always the self-interest of acre of three parts of the land.

As much as Guo Jia can give, he can recruit as many troops as he can.

Recruiting soldiers must be done within one's ability. If you don't make ends meet, you will have hidden dangers in the future. The most typical one is Yuan Shu, who was extremely extravagant and squeezed out Nanyang, and now let Shouchun decline at an unimaginable rate.

All information about finance, population, income and expenditure, etc. was analyzed for officials. Guo Jia just waited for the result, and the master was worried and the minister was working hard, which was nothing wrong.

Soon, a recruitment order was issued in Yizhou. Because Guanzhong is still recovering, it is naturally impossible to recruit troops in Guanzhong to reduce labor.

The response received by the people was very enthusiastic. In the eyes of the people, Guo Jia was invincible. Cao cào and Yuan Shao had 250,000 troops, but Guo Jia lost less than 50,000 troops and ruined the other party. This result not only increased the morale of the army, but also added confidence to the people's participation in the army to gain fame and interests.

Many Taiping Army families who participated in the Battle of Guanzhong were moving to Guanzhong because they had new land and a brighter future than before. What do others think? Even though they envy them, if they want to gain such a gain, the shortcut is naturally to serve Guo Jia in the army.

Such a result is beneficial to Guo Jia. There are many people who sign up for the army, so he has more choices when he chooses soldiers. At least he can choose the best and choose the best in the public. This is beneficial or disadvantageous to the construction of the army.

As early autumn begins, the breeze is bleak, and Guo Jia holds a big banquet in the mansion to celebrate the 100th day of his birthday.

The full moon, he was in Guanzhong and couldn't catch up. Now he has the opportunity to celebrate with NV. Guo Jia is not so hypocritical that he refuses to even hold a banquet.

The mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time, but in fact, the officials are tacit. Guo Jia celebrated the achievements in Guanzhong in a low-key manner, and when he returned to Chengdu, he wanted to celebrate the rewards under the name of NV.

The lights are decorated with joy, Zhen Jiang is elegant, Cai Yan is quiet, Diao Chan is a little at a loss, with an uncontrollable smile on her face, and she is very happy to hold NV's son.

She is a concubine, and even after Guo Jin was born, Guo Jia did not celebrate Guo Jin with such great fanfare.

Diao Chan doesn't understand the implicit intention here, but it doesn't prevent her from being moved by Guo Jia's actions.

Of course, if she had a son in her arms, she would definitely be frightened. Fortunately, she was a nv, a nv who would not feel any sense of crisis.

Guo’s mansion was in a city, and Guo Jia greeted the civil servants and military generals who came one after another. People like Fei Shi and Qin Mi were going to show their attitude towards a minister when they came to Guo Jia, which made Guo Jia angry. He pointed at them and laughed and scolded: “There is no master today, only equal laughter. If you do this again, wouldn’t it be disappointing? If my nv’er cried in a while, you should think about how to coax her. Hahaha.”

Qin Mi was used to Guo Jia's idle attitude that was often without airs. Fei Shi quietly said to Qin Mi after Guo Jia turned around and walked away: "It's really unexpected to be under the lord."

Qin Mi smiled but didn't say anything. As a minister, he was most afraid of being trembling and walking on thin ice. With Guo Jia, Qin Mi didn't know what others thought, nor did he want to know. Anyway, he was honest and had a clear conscience. He was very clear and sat upright. Even if he assisted Guo Jia to conquer the world, he would be peaceful and peaceful in his heart.

Guo Jin followed Guo Ye to welcome guests at the door of the mansion. Officials in Chengdu, regardless of their official position, Guo Jia's two sons came to greet him.

"Ye, isn't this Mr. Ye? Why did you stand at the Mén entrance? Walking around and going in to drink. Today I really want to know if that brat in my family is really drunk by you."

Xu Chu, who had a tiger-back and a bear-waist, looked too awkward in his sleeves. He followed Xu Yi behind him. When he heard his father say this, his face turned dark.

In Chang'an, these boys were walking out for a walk. Once Xu Yi was drunk and was carried back, Guo Ye was the one who carried him. When Xu Chu asked, he found that several boys were hunting with their adults on their backs, but they also started drinking. Xu Yi was drunk and unconscious. Gan Guidianman pushed the blame to Guo Ye very unfaithfully. For this reason, Xu Chu confines Xu Yi for half a month.

"Hey, okay, after the guests arrive, I will definitely go to you to ask for a drink."

Guo Ye said with a wry smile.

Xu Chu nodded with a smile. Although Guo Ye was not ten years old, he was not nervous and never had a tongue tied up when talking to adults.

"Okay, I'll go in first. If you dare not come, hehe. Hey? Isn't this Mr. Jin? You've come out too?"

Guo Jin, who was hiding behind Guo Ye halfway, also gave Xu Chu a gift with a wry smile.

He was very awe of people like Xu Chu and Dian Wei who were tall and big, and raised their necks to look at them and felt pressure from the face.

"Dad, go, don't delay the two young masters."

Xu Yi was afraid that Xu Chu would pull Guo Jin to drink again, not afraid of Guo Jia, not afraid of Zhen Jiang coming to ask for punishment, but was afraid that Cai Yong would come to his house to recite scriptures.

Xu Chu shrugged and chuckled a few times before stalking into the Guo Mansion. Guo Jia's two sons looked at each other and both showed a look of relief.

Seeing that the guests were almost the same and it was not early, Guo Ye planned to turn around and go home, but unexpectedly, a carriage stopped under the stairs of the mansion when pedestrians were getting fewer.

A middle-aged man wearing a light blue brocade robe and a gentle and elegant temperament came up on the stairs, followed by a man of a strong figure and a few brocade boxes in his hand.

"You should be Mr. Ye, are you? Are you Mr. Jin?"

The middle-aged man came to Guo Ye and Guo Jin with a soft smile.
