Chapter 58: The Great Sage Arrives
"It's a turbulent time!" Looking at the information in his hand, Guo Hao had a headache.
The Qiang people actually rebelled. This was not a small-scale rebellion like the looting of the Hu people. They were truly rebels who had clearly raised their flag.
Guo Hao had to divert his attention to the Qiang people. After all, this was politically correct.
His reward is still in the hands of the court. If he doesn't do something at this time, it will inevitably cause trouble for the reward .
Feeling overwhelmed, he hesitated for a long time, but finally took out the remaining recruitment orders.
"Instead of asking for Zhuge Kongming or Liu Bowen, we can ask for Zhang Zhao or Zhang Hong! Or some powerful military commanders!"
Guo Hao muttered something to himself, then washed his hands before opening the two random recruitment orders in his hand.
"Ding! Consume a random recruitment order. An unknown purple-quality general will arrive in Beiliang City in the near future. Players are advised to pay attention."
"Ding! Consume a random recruitment order. A purple quality strategist, Unknown, will arrive in Beiliang City in the near future. Players are advised to pay attention."
Purple quality? Guo Hao was delighted. Both recruitment orders actually gave out purple historical figures. It seemed that his luck was not that bad.
As for the word unknown, Guo Hao didn't take it to heart at all. Even the weakest purple-quality general would be a great help to the current Beiliang City.
Besides, the purple-quality generals are at least powerful men who have left their own records in history, so Guo Hao is completely confident in their level.
What made Guo Hao most happy was that he finally had a strategist. He really needed a smart person to give him advice.
Less than two days after returning to Beiliang City, Guo Hao was buried under a mountain of official business. Guo Hao worked hard for two days in a row, and not only did the number of official documents not decrease, but on the contrary, it increased.
At one point, he felt like he was back in his senior year of high school, a time dominated by an endless sea of questions.
"City Lord, City Lord, a great sage is coming!" Before Guo Hao could come to his senses, Boss Guang's shouting voice echoed in the Government Affairs Hall.
Guo Hao was stunned. The recruitment order was so effective? Less than two hours after it was used, the great sage came to him?
The effect of this random recruitment order is too good. He thought it would take several days.
"City Lord, City Lord, the person is outside now. Do you want to see him?" Looking at Guo Hao's dazed look, Old Guang asked cautiously. He thought he had interrupted Guo Hao's important business.
"Okay, okay, please come in. No, I'll go out to greet him right away!" Guo Hao was overjoyed after he realized what was going on. No matter who he was, his purple quality meant that he was destined to be an extraordinary person. He immediately stood up and prepared to welcome him with great ceremony.
After he went out, a middle-aged man in plain clothes was standing outside. When he saw Guo Hao going out, he immediately spoke.
"Jia Wenhe from Liangzhou, I meet the city lord."
Guo Hao felt like he had found a treasure. The famous poison master smelled so good.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. I have also heard of Jia Wenhe's reputation. I would like to ask for your advice, sir." Guo Hao stretched out his hand to help Jia Xu up, and said sincerely.
He really didn't expect that the random recruitment order would give him Jia Xu. This strategist nicknamed the Poisonous Scholar was perfect for him.
"Come on, come on, Wenhe is here just in time. Fei is caught in a dilemma, please give me some advice."
"Are you so confident that I will stay here, Lord Mayor?" Jia Xu was dizzy and was dragged into the Government Affairs Hall by Guo Hao.
There's nothing wrong with this guy Jia Xu, right? He has already responded to the recruitment order and came to Beiliang City, but he still asks such a weird question. Guo Hao slandered him in his heart.
But Guo Hao still pretended to be shocked. "It was Fei's mistake. I wonder if Wenhe is willing to give in to my Beiliang City."
"Sir, I want to ask a question." Jia Xu pondered for a few seconds and asked Guo Hao.
"Wenhe, please tell me." Guo Hao's face was calm. With the recruitment order as a basis, he did not feel guilty at all, so he was not afraid that Jia Xu would turn around and leave.
After all, there is still a big difference between games and reality. A king with a strong backer like Yang Lin is willing to serve under Li Changsheng. He doesn't believe that he can't accept Jia Xu.
Besides, for Jia Xu, ensuring his personal safety is the primary goal, and everything else can come slowly.
"The world is about to fall into chaos. What are the city lord's ambitions?" Jia Xu straightened his clothes that were wrinkled by Guo Hao and asked his question calmly.
"How can Wenhe speak nonsense? The Yellow Turbans have been pacified, so how can there be chaos in the world!" Guo Hao looked angry and stared at Jia Xu closely.
"City Lord" Jia Xu remained unmoved and continued to stare at Guo Hao calmly.
The two sides stared at each other for a long time.
"Bring peace to the world!" Guo Hao said in a loud voice.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and bring peace to the world for all generations." Jia Xu said the famous saying of Zhang Zai, a great man of the Northern Song Dynasty, even more calmly.
"Bring peace to the world!" Guo Hao did not waver at all.
Guo Hao was not surprised at all that Jia Xu knew famous sayings from later generations. Huangfu Song already knew about Dong Zhuo's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, let alone some famous sayings.
"What does the general have?" Jia Xu asked further.
"I have this city, I have this spear, and I am unwilling to give in." Guo Hao looked calm.
"Jia Xu Jia Wenhe. Greetings, my lord." Jia Xu silently recited Guo Hao's answer, then bowed.
"Good, good, good. Today I have got Wenhe, just like Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty met Liu Hou. Wenhe is actually my Zifang." Guo Hao laughed.
Obviously, Jia Xu had not yet reached the level of smoothness of later generations, and was actually aroused a little bit of his childishness by Guo Hao's unreserved courtesy.
"Wen He will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!"
Looking at Jia Xu who seemed to be full of energy, Guo Hao muttered inwardly that it was so tiring to talk to smart people, as he could not understand the deep meaning of Jia Xu's words at all.
"Please give us some advice, Wenhe!" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Guo Hao quickly gave Jia Xu all the information he had seen before.
Jia Xu frowned and read all the information carefully, then closed his eyes and thought about it seriously.
As a native of Liangzhou, Jia Xu naturally understood the significance of the Qiang rebellion, and even more so the reasons for the rebellion.
Since the previous dynasty, and even the dynasty before that, the Qiang people have been jumping back and forth between loyalty and rebellion.
Since the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the imperial court had been mired in a protracted war between the Western Liang and Qiang tribes, with a cycle of rebellion, suppression, rebellion, and suppression again.
Even the three heroes of Liangzhou at that time, Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan and Duan Ying, who killed the Qiang people in Liangzhou so hard that rivers of blood flowed and countless heads rolled, failed to solve the problem.
The fighting power of the Qiang people in Liangzhou was the same level as that of the Southern Xiongnu, a nomadic people. The reason why the Qiang people rebelled was because of the need to survive.
This is also the fundamental reason why Duan Xing failed to solve the problem even after killing tens of thousands of Qiang people. The Qiang people were also fighting for survival.
