Guo Jia had great confidence in Liu Zheng. This was not only because Liu Zheng had occupied half of the country now, but the empire built by Liu Zheng was far better than the Han Dynasty two times before.

The new Han Dynasty will become stronger than before.

Choosing to take sides now will give the Guo family enough status in the future.

When Guo’s father heard Guo Jia’s words, he thought of Guo Jia’s current status under Liu Zheng, and he also understood that if Guo Jia did not surrender to Liu Zheng, there would be no way.

"You are right. We really have to choose to take sides. Otherwise, relying on your own strength, under Liu Zheng's hands, we will not be able to become a huge family."

"So, in order to bring good results to Your Majesty, we must try our best to win over the aristocratic families in Yingchuan County. The Xun family, Han family, and Zhong family must lobby for some of them."

What Guo Jia values ​​most is these important families. If these people can choose to surrender to Liu Zheng, then Yingchuan County will be able to be defeated without much effort.

Although Liu Bei is now in charge of the army and guarding the army with his troops, Liu Bei can only control his own people. The great families of Yingchuan don’t give Liu Bei any face at all.

In the hands of the aristocratic families, the private soldiers they possess are not much weaker than Liu Bei's men.

If the fight really starts, the aristocratic families have money, food, and population, but they are not united enough.

What Guo Jia had to do was to unite these aristocratic families and dismantle Liu Bei from within.

"They may not necessarily follow us to join Liu Zheng."

When Guo’s father heard Guo Jia’s words, he answered.

"Dad, don't worry, I have my own way to convince them."

A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

With Guo Jia's words, Guo's father naturally had no other words to say, and he quickly agreed.

Soon, Guo's father, as Guo Jia's instructions, sent invitations to these aristocratic families in Yingchuan County.

Invite them to visit Guo’s house.

But they didn't tell them what to discuss.

I just kept it a secret and said that I had something big to discuss with them.

Please come and have a gathering of all the family leaders.

Although Guo’s father did not say it clearly, these family leaders were all smart people, and most of them could guess the specific reason why Guo’s father asked them to come here.

It's just not stated.

In this way, it will be better to conceal the specific matters to be negotiated.

Everyone took it seriously and went to the appointment one after another.

It is precisely because they know some inside information that they urgently want to come to the Guo family to discuss the result of this matter with Guo’s father.

Two days later, Guo Jia held a banquet in the pavilion to invite these family leaders.

The Xun family, Zhong family, Chen family, Han family and other families all came to represent them.

The person from the Xun family, named Xun Yan, is Xun Yu's third brother, and is also the main person in charge of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and is responsible for all the affairs of the Xun family.

Although the Xun family was very loyal to the Han court, the Xun family would not ruin the fate of the entire family for the sake of the Han court.

After receiving the invitation from the Guo family, he went to the Guo family to make an appointment in person.

The person from the Zhong family was Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao was originally a county magistrate of the court, but he was recuperating at home due to illness. As a result, the court suffered consecutive accidents, which eventually led to Zhong Yao living in his hometown Yingchuan.

Now that I have passed forty this year, I still have nothing to do.

The people from the Chen family are also quite famous, named Chen Qun.

The Chen family father and son have a high status in Yingchuan County, no less than the Xun family. Chen Qun's father Chen Ji has always been a relatively high-ranking scholar.

However, the Chen family suffered the Party and Prison disaster in the early years in the court, especially the soldiers of Yingchuan County, who were more or less involved in the Party and Prison disaster.

Many of these people actually don’t have much favorable feelings for the court.

Because of this, after receiving the invitation from the Guo family, they understood the intention of the Guo family and were willing to come to the appointment.

The gathering led by Xun Yan, Zhong Yao and Chen Qun was held in Guo’s mansion.

Representatives of many families were a little anxious waiting in the courtyard.

Everyone was talking and guessing about what was going on with the Guo family asking them to come for a party this time.

Although they had some speculations in their minds, they had not received verification from the Guo family, so they couldn't say it outright for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Guo Jia came here and appeared here.

Chen Qun was quite surprised when he met Guo Jia, because Xun Yan and Zhong Yao were relatively old and were not familiar with Guo Jia, but Chen Qun was about the same age as Guo Jia.

He is still very familiar with Guo Jia, especially now they all know that Guo Jia has a good status under Liu Zheng, and he should be by Liu Zheng's side and assist Liu Zheng in conquer the world.

Why does it appear here?

"Guo Fengxiao!"

Chen Qun was shocked and was already a little surprised when he saw Guo Jia's appearance.

Xun Yan and Zhong Yao didn't know Guo Jia at first, but now after hearing Chen Qun's words, they immediately knew Guo Jia's identity.

"It turned out that Guo Fengxiao is back. I asked why the members of the Guo family suddenly summoned me to wait at this time. It turned out that they were using this idea."

"Let me guess, is Guo Fengxiao coming back today for Liu Zheng?"

Chen Qun was not stupid. At this time, Liu Bei and Liu Zheng were fighting, and it was in Yingchuan County.

Guo Jia suddenly returned. If he had not come for Liu Zheng, no one present would have believed it.

It is always easy for Guo Jia to talk to a smart person like Chen Qun with a smile on his face.

When he walked to the table, he poured the wine first.

"Dear uncles and friends."

"You are all talented people in Yingchuan County. I believe that the current situation in Yingchuan County does not need to be said more. Everyone knows better than me that in the battle of Jingzhou, Liu Bei's army was defeated and could only retreat to Yingchuan. Now that it is the limit to be able to raise 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Yingchuan."

"Do you think that Liu Bei can still block the attack of His Majesty?"

Since Guo Jia knew that these people were smart people and had not taken a turn, he got to the point.

Many times, talking to smart people is very simple and does not require much effort to describe the problem.

Just ask the question, these people will put themselves in and think.

Thus, a conclusion is drawn.

This is what Xun Yan, Zhong Yao and others are now.

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhong Yao took the initiative to answer Guo Jia's words.

"Although Liu Xuande has courage and ability, the court is still facing the west and there are political enemies in the court. Liu Xuande cannot achieve unified dispatch. He is brave enough, but he cannot fight against Liu."
