"Wudu can be the center for a long time in the future. We can develop it with all our strength. Firstly, we can control Liangzhou here. Secondly, we can compete with Hanzhong. Thirdly, guarding this place means the stability of the Bashu area. Therefore, when the lord is sent to Xichuan as an envoy, we must prepare our troops hard. When the lord's identity is announced, we will quickly send troops to Luoyang and defend Hulao Pass. Together with Ma Teng and Lu Bu, we will occupy Liangzhou with a thunderous force. In this way, Mr. Wen He The proposed plan is to sit on the three prefectures of Yong, Liang and Yi, and unite other Han clan clans to advance and retreat together. Since Cao Cao has too much to worry about when facing Yuan Shao from Hebei and Yuan Shu from Runan, he gives us time to recuperate." After Xu Shu finished speaking, he turned to Duan He Sian, who was sitting in the first place, cupped his hands and sat back down.
He Sian nodded, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Does Mr. Wenhe have anything else to add?"
Jia Xu first glanced at Xu Shu, who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "Young people are scary. Yuan Zhi has grown a lot during this period. In this way, Xu can safely go to Yizhou with the lord."
He Sian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jia Xu with deep meaning, looked away, and said to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, when Mr. Wenhe and I go on an envoy to Xichuan, Wudu will be handed over to you, Jia Mu , Jia Ji cooperates, and General Xu Rong is responsible for rectifying the army and horses, Yang Ren and Yang Ang are responsible for the defense, this is the arrangement for the time being, Mr. Wen He stays, and the rest can disperse."
Everyone happily accepted the order and filed out.
He Sian looked at Jia Xu and said nonchalantly: "Is Mr. Wenhe disappointed with Sian?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said solemnly: "Of course not, and Xu has long expected that the lord intends to save Lu Bu, so it doesn't matter. Everything has two sides. The clan is important, but the support of elite soldiers and generals , and the support of the poor people, it is also worthy of the Lord."
"What Mr. Wen He said is absolutely true. If you can't protect your family and friends in troubled times, how can you protect the world? Moreover...after thousands of years of experience, the existence of clans... .does more harm than good.”
Seeing Jia Xu's panicked expression, He Si'an sighed and continued: "Mr. Wen He, Cao Mengde and others are considered to be among the best wise men, but... they also have limitations, such as..."
He Si'an paused, picked up the tea cup in his hand, dipped it with his fingers, drew a circle on the table, and continued: "You, even me, Da Han, and even Da Qin and Da Zhou who are going forward are all in this circle. , time goes by, countless heroes live and die, countless dynasties were born due to the support of the clan, and perished due to the greed of the clan, but... the world is not only this one circle, the world is very big, each circle We are all moving forward in this cycle of changes. However, one day, once a certain circle breaks this shackles, it will..." As he spoke, He Sian erased the circle, and then poured the tea in the teacup in his hand. He poured it on the table and looked at Jia Xu opposite him. Jia Xu stared blankly at the tea on the table, flowing to the edge and dripping towards the ground. After a long silence, Jia Xu also sighed and knelt down. He kowtowed and said, "Just like what the god said, the lord is the one who was born to know, the one chosen by heaven, and I feel that I should overcome the thorns and thorns for the lord."
After bidding farewell to his colleagues, Zhao Yun walked alone on the way back home. Recalling everyone's high morale, he couldn't help but sigh. After all, he was somewhat famous in Xiliang during this year, and he had fought many battles, big and small. In dozens of battles, there will be no unbeatable enemy. At this time, there was the sound of running from behind. Zhao Yun turned around to follow the sound and saw a panting soldier running in front of him. Zhao Yun recognized that this man was He Sian's personal guard Zhou Cang. When he got closer, Zhou Cang Cang whispered a few words into Zhao Yun's ear, and upon hearing this, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.
In the evening, He Sian, Jia Xu, and Zhao Yun sat across from each other in the back hall of He Mansion. He Sian glanced at Jia Xu, who took a deep breath and said to Zhao Yun solemnly: "Zilong, my lord has high hopes for you. , so the task entrusted to you this time is the most important. It can be said that the wealth and lives of the lord and our group are all in your hands."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun's heart tightened, and he clasped his fists towards the opposite side and said, "But listen to the Lord!"
At the same time, a birthday banquet was also going on at the ancestral home of the Yang family in Hanzhong. The leader of the Yang family, perhaps due to his age, was a little dizzy after a few glasses of wine. A middle-aged man sitting next to him After they found out, they immediately said: "Song'er, Bai'er, please help the patriarch to go back to the back house to rest." After hearing this, the two young people opposite hurriedly got up and came to the side of the old patriarch. These two people were the eldest members of the Yang family in Hanzhong. The eldest grandson Yang Song, and his younger brother Yang Bai. Seeing these two people, the head of the Yang family also smiled and said: "After a year of not seeing each other, Song'er and Bai'er have become more and more beautiful. Alas, it's my grandfather who's body is getting worse every year!"
"Grandpa, what did you say? With your body, you will have no problem living for another forty or fifty years!" Song'er said with a playful smile in the mouth of the patriarch. Immediately, everyone agreed, and the hall burst into laughter.
When the three of them passed by the middle-aged man, the two young men made eye contact with him and then separated.
Soon, the two helped the patriarch to the bed. Seeing this, the maids picked up the towels that had been prepared and were about to step forward. The young man on the side took the copper basin and towels from the maids' hands and waved his hands. , said with a smile: "We haven't seen my grandfather for a year. You go down first, and we will accompany him!"
"Yes!" The maids bowed their heads and exited the room as ordered. One of the two young men wet a towel, and the other wiped the old man's wrinkled face. Seeing the two of them working so hard, the patriarch sighed and said with slightly moist eyes: "Song'er, Bai'er, my grandfather has liked you two since childhood. Don't blame your grandfather. He did this for the future of our Yang family! "
"How could your grandson blame your grandfather?" Yang Song said with a smile while wiping the old man's old palms with a towel. Then he put away his smile and said angrily: "Then Yang Ren was originally just a branch of our Yang family. Grandfather just Resources are tilted towards his family, and this guy is so arrogant. Even when his grandfather celebrates his birthday, he just sends his younger brother Yang Ang to show up. My grandson is just afraid that his grandfather has raised a white-eyed wolf!"
Hearing this, the clan leader hurriedly stopped the other party from continuing. Then he looked at the door and saw that there was no one around. He sighed and was about to scold the other party, but saw the towel in the other party's hand and his slightly red and swollen eyes. He quickly softened, perhaps out of guilt, or because he drank too much wine. The old patriarch sighed and said: "Among the many children and grandchildren, you two are the most beloved to me, otherwise I would not have destroyed the Central Plains." The trade of this land is all handed over to you, but... Originally, the less people know about some things, the better, but you are not outsiders." Immediately, the old patriarch looked at the door, and Yang Bai, who was opposite, understood and walked a few steps away. Go to the door, screen out the maids and servants, then close the door and return to the bed...
Half an hour later, in Yang Song's bedroom, Yang Bai couldn't wait to say: "Brother, what should we do? Not to mention the benefits that Lord Sikong promised us, do we really have to follow what my grandfather said and spend all our resources?" Are they all invested in those two scoundrels??”
Yang Song on the opposite side stopped Yang Bai's words and looked towards the door. After a few breaths, a middle-aged man appeared at the door. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The child has seen his father." The other person made a silence. gesture, closing the door. The voices in the room gradually became lower. Looking from outside, through the dim candlelight, several shadows were whispering to each other, very furtive.
