It has to be said that Guo Jia's handling of this kind of matter has reached a superb level.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei both knew his loyalty and wisdom, so under his persuasion, they made a decision immediately without hesitation:
"Please rest assured, sir. I will make the arrangements and the soldiers will gradually gather at the border."
"Then I will be responsible for allocating food, fodder, and other supplies, and will also deliver them in batches, so as not to arouse suspicion from external forces."
After hearing their responses, Guo Jia finally felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Generals."
By then, even if external forces become suspicious, it will probably be too late.
After persuading Xu Chu and Dian Wei to send out troops.
Guo Jia rode non-stop all night and found Bai Qi.
In the Qin army camp.
Both Bai Qi and Zhu Di were very happy about Guo Jia's arrival.
When they entertained each other, they made an exception and brought out a few jugs of good wine.
Zhu Di even half-jokingly said to Guo Jia:
"Sir, please don't tell His Majesty that we hid wine in the camp."
The Qin Dynasty had a clear rule that drinking was not allowed in the camp.
certainly...
This regulation is now in name only.
Among the generals of the Qin Dynasty, how many don’t like to drink?
Guo Jia drank three cups in a row, and then slowly said:
"It's not that I can't tell His Majesty, but there's one thing I hope the two generals can do."
As soon as the words fell.
Bai Qi and Zhu Di looked at each other.
What do these mean?
You're not even drunk yet, but you're already asking people for favors?
Doesn't this seem like Mr. Guo's style?
They had doubts in their hearts.
After a pause, Bai Qi asked, "Sir, please tell me first, what is the matter?"
Guo Jia simply said, "Soon, someone from the Imperial Guard will give the two generals a list."
"The people on the list are all nobles of Jin. I hope the two generals will not touch them for the time being."
The two of them were confused and said one after another:
"Killing the nobles of Jin was ordered by His Majesty himself. If you don't allow us to kill them, isn't that a violation of the imperial decree?"
"Yes sir, please forgive us, we cannot agree to your request."
They also thought that Guo Jia had some personal relationship with those nobles.
"Not killing those people is for the sake of our Great Qin, for Your Majesty, and for the sake of the two generals."
"Besides, I have also said that I will not kill them for the time being. If the two generals trust me, please do as I say."
"It didn't take long for both generals to understand."
Guo Jia said seriously.
He did not make all his plans public.
Still deliberately retaining a sense of mystery.
Because Bai Qi and Zhu Di are not those two fools like Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
Guo Jia would be worried that they would report what happened here to Ying Yuan.
Guo Jia, who claimed to be familiar with the emperor's character, was worried that his plan would be abandoned by the emperor after it was exposed.
Because Guo Jia understood that Ying Yuan was a person who never cared about his reputation.
Even if I kill him to the end and really establish myself as a tyrant, what can I do?
However, Guo Jia, as a counselor of the Qin Dynasty, would never allow such a thing to happen.
