After several months, when he returned to Gebi again and climbed the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, Sun Ce felt like he was a different life.

The water pavilion was reorganized, not only were all the windows installed with glazed glass, but even the pillars of the Jiuqu corridor were painted again, revealing a low-key joy. The young people in the Military Affairs Office were very excited, and rushed into the two-story building of the Military Affairs Office in groups to find their respective rooms. Although they were about to have a three-month rest, many people would return to their hometown to visit their relatives in one or two days, they were still as excited as they were back home.

Sun Ce stood on the top of the water pavilion. It was late summer and the autumn wind was not cold. The windows on the third floor were not installed yet. They were ventilated on all sides, making people feel refreshed. The lake water was clear and sparkling. From time to time, fish jumped out of the water and splashed a series of ripples.

"Are you reluctant to let it go?" Guo Jia walked up, shaking a feather fan in his hand, smiling very much.

"I'm a little reluctant, but I can't believe it more." Sun Ce turned around and smiled, "I still can't believe that I defeated Yuan Shao and became the strongest prince in the world."

"The strongest princes are just princes." Guo Jia laughed. "General, you are just a little overlord now. You still have a long way to go even overlords, let alone the throne. Be careful of arrogance and impetuousness and keep working hard."

Sun Ce also smiled and bowed seriously. "Please encourage me with you."

Guo Jia laughed loudly, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the lake, and after a while, he suddenly said: "General, I really want to know what strategy Xun Gongda will offer after he respects the king and repels Yuan."

"What I care more about is what strategy you have." Sun Ce said, holding the railing with his hands, and suddenly said, "Is your wife here?"

Guo Jia looked at Sun Ce in surprise. "The general is so powerful, I can't hear it at all."

"Don't avoid the heavy lifting, let's divide the weight?"

Guo Jia smiled and shook his hand. "This has nothing to do with my Guo family, it is her Zhong family. I heard that Mrs. Yuan was going to give up Pingyu's workshop, so the Zhong family came to the door. I couldn't save face, so I had to visit Mrs. Yuan, hoping to get a share of the pie."

"Is it related to Zhong Yuanchang?"

"This is not accurate. Anyway, their appetite is not small." Guo Jia turned around and leaned against the railing. His smile dissipated and his voice became low. "Zhong Yuanchang turned to Zuo Fengyi, and he felt very disappointed. Jiang Ziyi suggested that he go to Liangzhou. He was a little moved, but he was afraid that Jiang Ziyi would mess with him. He wrote a letter from home and asked around the bush.

Sun Ce's mouth was slightly raised. Jiang Gan mentioned this in his report, and Guo Jia also knew that he mentioned it again at this moment, clearly asking him to have a clear letter. After he insisted on punishing the Yingchuan family, he adopted Zhuge Liang's suggestion and arrested the Yingchuan family, Guo Jia was cautious about matters involving the Yingchuan people and easily refused to make his own decisions.

"Is Zhong Yao available?"

"This is not easy to determine." Guo Jia pondered: "From my understanding of him, I think it might be better for him to guard Guanzhong, but it is not appropriate to go to Liangzhou. Liangzhou relies on heavy cavalry to fight. An excellent cavalry must first have good martial arts skills. He does not have such conditions. If you are in Liangzhou, you will inevitably have to rely on others. Once an accident occurs, he will not be able to control the situation and may be in danger of his life. Geng Bi is the lesson of the past."

"This is also a problem. Ziyi has been traveling around for many years and is unfamiliar with war. He was kind-hearted, but he might have done bad things and put him in a dangerous place." Sun Ce pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let's do this, let's explain the pros and cons clearly, and give the decision to Zhong Yuanchang himself. If he wants to go to Liangzhou, we will try our best to provide assistance and fulfill Ziyi's promise."

Guo Jia was very satisfied with Sun Ce's decision and agreed repeatedly.

"As long as the matter of Pingyu Workshop does not violate the principles, you can give more of the Zhong family. If Zhong Yuanchang needs help in the future, he can directly operate the Zhong family to avoid being eye-catching. If necessary, a workshop will be set up in Yingchuan, and the Zhong family will be the leader. Speaking of which, Korea was famous for its powerful crossbows back then. You can keep some fun to find craftsmen with ancient crossbow making skills and discover some crossbow making techniques. The crossbow cart is powerful, but it is still a distance from perfection. You can use this as a project and spend some thoughts on attacking and attacking."

Guo Jia smiled with his palm. "This idea is good. This is not only a weapon of combat, but also the history of Yingchuan. It is of great benefit to revitalizing the martial arts style of Yingchuan." He thought for a while and said, "But this matter cannot be too ostentatious, otherwise someone will inevitably dig graves to get an ancient crossbow."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. Guo Jia was right to remind him that this matter should not be too high-profile. The trend of tomb robbery is already very strong these days, and it will be difficult to control if there is any interest inducing it. Following Nanyang and Wuhui, Yingchuan's work to collect ancient monuments is about to begin. Some ancient tombs may need to be excavated. Although there is no serious archaeology these days, excavation by professional scholars is always more than the historical information that tomb robbers can get.

The two were talking happily, Yuan Quan and Mrs. Zhong walked up side by side. Guo Jia squeezed his eyes at Mrs. Zhong. Mrs. Zhong understood and smiled. Yuan Quan smiled and said, "General, I just discussed with Mrs. Zhong. When we arrived in Wujun, we will be neighbors and it will be convenient for us to speak in the future."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "If you are willing, you can open a workshop in Wujun in a joint venture and you can be together every day. If you think the workshop is tiring, you can open a store that specializes in fat, gouache, cloth, brocade, etc. If you use it yourself, you can still make some pocket money."

"This is a good idea." Yuan Quan raised his eyebrows at Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhong was also satisfied. With Sun Ce's words, the loss of moving can be earned soon. Guo Jia grinned and said with a smile: "If this happens, I don't have to hand over my salary, right?"

Mrs. Zhong's eyes tilted and her mouth tilted gently. "What are you doing with money? How many Wu Was you want to buy?"

Guo Jia was startled and shook his hand quickly. "Madam, where did you think of it? How could I have such a thought? I am already very content with you. I am not a general, and I am not so persistent in color. I tell you, you really misunderstood me. That's my duty. I have to ask for information. These singing and dancing philanders are the easiest to reveal their true words when they are drunk. If you don't believe it, ask the general, and the general can testify for me..."

Looking at Yuan Quan who covered his lips and smiled with beautiful eyes, Sun Ce was speechless. He had known that Guo Jia was afraid of the inside, but he didn't know that Guo Jia was so afraid of the inside. In a hurry, even I dared to pull out the arrow. Isn't it just a joke with Yan Fuchao and said something about being in love with each other, but why has it become a stain on life? Guo Jia is really, and he also tells his wife such words?

"Bah, even if you dare to compare with the general, you are overestimating your ability." Mrs. Zhong also blushed, spat at Guo Jia, pulled Yuan Quan and left. Seeing them downstairs, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his hand, and laughed: "I was in a hurry and implicated the general, and I was guilty of death."

Sun Ce patted Guo Jia on the back. "Fengxiao, you have to treat your weak legs when you see Mrs. Zhong."
