Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 256 Father and Daughter Confrontation
Before Guo Youning could sternly challenge her repeatedly, Guo Jia had restrained her laughing face and stared at him solemnly.

Guo Youning, who was on the verge of speaking, saw her sudden change of face, and Xiao Jiujiu felt in her heart, making up her mind that no matter what she said, she would absolutely reject it!
But Guo Jia didn't ask him anything, but asked him a serious question, "Father, what do you think is the situation in northern Xinjiang now? What is the fate of my Guo family?"

Guo Youning's heart sank, he glanced at Guo Jia calmly, and muttered and complained, "What's the matter? Are you still testing your father's and my political achievements? Do you think you are the supervisory censor?"

Guo Jia was unmoved.

Guo Youning narrowed his eyes, turned around and poured himself a cup of tea, and put it heavily on the table, feeling a bit like gnashing his teeth, "Okay! In front of your mother today, the old father will give you this face and let you Be the censor of the performance appraisal."

After all, Guo Youning also emphasized and reiterated, "This is not an example!"

"Although Wu'an rebelled last year in Kangdu and suffered floods in southern Xinjiang, this year the western and southwestern regions have continued to fight, causing economic damage in northern Xinjiang; the military defense is tense, and we have to increase the standing army and enter a state of combat readiness to deal with emergencies at any time, or Reinforcements to Western Xinjiang. All kinds of expenses are very high, but this year's bumper harvest in Northern Xinjiang not only made up for the loss, but also filled the inventory."

Guo Youning put on an official tone and talked eloquently, "All this is thanks to the wiseness and martial arts of the Holy Majesty, who has a lot of trust in me, Guo Youning. Fortunately, although I am not talented, with the guidance of the adults of various departments, I just lived up to the expectations of the Holy Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Guo Youning drank the tea in one gulp, squinted at Guo Jia by putting down the cup, and asked pretendingly, "So, is the supervisor satisfied?"

"no!"

Guo Jia took Guo Youning's playful look, and answered immediately, "The southern border is in chaos and floods, the eastern border dispatches troops and supplies, and the western border is narrowly victorious... All the three borders have suffered losses, but the northern border has been forced to recruit troops. , the food is not in time, and the three frontiers will all lose, but the northern frontier will not lose money but turn a profit.”

"Lord Hou, even if there is a way to block the aid from the west with the heavy snow in March, but Kangdu has not been able to collect food for a long time, what do you say?"

Guo Jia pressed the question with sharp eyes, with a look of torture, which made Guo Youning stunned.

Before she knew it, her delicate, soft jade and childlike daughter had the aura of a family leader.

"The grain planting cycle in northern Xinjiang is long, and one wheat and one rice a year is the limit. It is no better than water heating and soil fertilizer in southern Xinjiang. Summer and autumn are both good harvests."

Guo Youning was a little more serious, and discussed the matter, "Yesterday, the Northland was short of production, and there was not much grain in stock. At the end of June this year, last year's wheat was harvested, and the deficit was just filled, and half of the inventory has been escorted to various places for support. Things caused by the world and the climate, strong Counting it on my head, my lord is a little unreasonable."

"The army in the northern border is strong and the food is sufficient, and the three borders cannot be held hostage. The Lord Hou's family dominates, and the king's heart is worried."

Guo Jia refused to accept the pot handed by Guo Youning, and only emphasized one thing.

Guo Youning sneered, "There is enough food in northern Xinjiang to comfort the border people. In winter in northern Xinjiang, everything is withered and lifeless. If there is no food in the warehouse, how many people may starve to death. Besides, there are five major cities in northern Xinjiang, and the three cities fight with each other. Your Majesty Yu Sheng hand-picked defense envoys, why does my Guo family dominate?"

"Master Hou is dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision?"

Guo Jia asked in response, "Dissatisfied with the separation of power?"

Guo Youning's eyes flashed, and he looked squarely at his daughter who was pressing on him every step of the way, and said, "The Holy Majesty's decision has its own reasons."

"That's why I was dissatisfied and didn't dare to speak out. Therefore, I delayed the tenure of the defense envoy so that I could deploy my own manpower. This not only destroyed the evidence of the crime, but also facilitated the conflict between the defense envoy and the frontier general, preventing the defense envoy from taking over the military power."

Guo Jia came to a conclusion, "I don't know what the Lord Hou is up to that can't be shown to others, but what do you want to do with the military power?"

Hearing this, Guo Youning frowned suddenly, "Jiaer, don't talk nonsense!"

"Father, you are the person in power standing in front of the people. Everyone can see the great achievements in front of you, but can you sort out the things behind you? If you are not clear about the things behind you, those things can only be seen. How can someone who sees the things before others know what you Guo Youning did and what you Guo Youning didn't do?"

Guo Jia kept asking solemnly, and even called him by name, saying loudly, "What you think and what you do, in the eyes of the people of the world, and in the eyes of the emperor, it doesn't matter at all!"

"They only believe what they see with their own eyes, and they firmly believe in the truth. When the black and white words are put out, when the former cronies stand up, whether you are black or white, they only believe in themselves."

Guo Jia looked at Guo Youning with burning eyes, and the hand hidden under the table was dug into the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain.

Compared with the betrayal and cruelty that he had witnessed with his own eyes, Yu Yu was helpless for half his life, and his physical pain was less than one ten-thousandth of it!

Guo Youning was shocked by the resentment in Guo Jia's eyes, and immediately lowered his eyes again, turned his head, and stared at the spirit tablet on the empty seat at the same table for a long time, the expression on his face changed from time to time, only the eyebrows never stretched.

"Ma'am, this child has really followed you."

Guo Youning let out a long sigh, turned to look at Guo Jia, and no longer evaded her questioning, "Do you think that joining hands with Yan Qing can get the Guo family out of the predicament?"

"Yes."

Guo Jia said with certainty, "Yan Qing is now deeply trusted by the Holy One, and joining hands with him is to surrender to the Holy One and completely draw a line with the Xu family."

"Oh, naive after all."

Guo Youning shook his head, "Although the person above believes that Yan Qing has no ambitions, he doesn't necessarily believe that she has no selfishness. He is even more wary of me."

"You should join forces with Yan Qing to surrender, but in that person's opinion, that may not be the case."

Guo Youning smiled mockingly, "A good general who has the aspirations of the people in the territory and the great achievements that are sung all over the country. If you are ambitious, would you want to win over this person?"

Guo Jia was silent.

Doesn't she know that the emperor is suspicious?
But she had no choice.

Yan Qing was transferred to Northern Xinjiang, apart from the separation of powers, it was meant to be a test.

To test whether the Guo family has the intention to win over good generals and strengthen themselves.

Even thinking a little deeper, isn't this preventing Yan Qing from gaining dominance by taking advantage of the hearts of the people in Western Xinjiang?
She knew, but compared with the emperor's unsubstantiated suspicion, the precise and vicious backstabs of the people around her were more deadly.

"Do you think that person didn't know that the Xu family had a foot in northern Xinjiang?"

Seeing Guo Jia's silence, Guo Youning knew that she already understood what she meant, but also saw that she didn't agree with him.

With a soft sigh, Guo Youning spoke again, "He just turned a blind eye. The Yan family and the Li family have already lost both sides. It seems that the only daughter of the Yan family can only be attached to him, but it may not be impossible to switch to the Guo and Xu families."

"So, between the Guo and Xu families, he inserted a ruined Yan family that is temporarily under his control."

"Three families fight, and he can benefit from it."

　Good morning, long time no see.
