With Jia Xu as his counselor, Jiang Hua can save a lot of things. He can let Tai Yi assist him and control the power of Jiang Hua's men. The more Jia Xu sees, the more frightened he becomes. Every prince in the world is lurking, and they stand out because of their outstanding abilities. When attacking in the future, we can cooperate internally and externally.
Jiang Hua believed that with Jia Xu as a counselor to advise, these people would soon be able to enter the core of the princes' power.
Jiang Hua was relaxed and content at home, but with the support of his mistress, the two rabbits became more and more unruly. They could enter and leave all places in the house, eat and sleep whenever they wanted. No, Jiang Hua was basking in the sun in the yard. The warm autumn sun was so pleasant. Suddenly a heavy object fell on his stomach. He didn't even raise his eyelids. Who else could it be except Tu Da?
Rabbit Da and Xi Er, these are the names of these two rabbits. Li Qingyun named them based on German Shepherd. Rabbit Da’s favorite place to stay is in high places. After a while, he kicked his nose and got on his face. Jiang Hua was not happy. He picked up the fur on the back of its neck and threw it aside. This guy was very clever and could complain. After being taken care of by Jiang Hua several times, he went to the hostess to complain, pointing at Jiang Hua and squeaking, his voice It was also mixed with grievances, and the pitiful expression on his face made Li Qingyun feel pity, and she complained to Jiang Hua for a long time.
The rabbit is now staying under the tree in the yard, staring at the birds on the branches, licking his lips from time to time. Although the rabbit has the word "rabbit", it is a cat and can climb trees to catch birds, but it has a long The long hair greatly restricts movement, so I have never been successful. I can only occasionally catch two in the grass or bushes to satisfy their hunger.
At this time, Jia Xu and Tai Yi came in and handed over to Jiang Hua: "My lord, it has been three months since the princes gathered to make an alliance. Many major events have happened during this time. Cao Cao went to Yangzhou, and Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun. Yanzhou was recuperating, but under the deliberate instigation one after another, Dongjun was still in chaos. Liu Dai could not suppress it at all. The three of them took advantage of the situation and took control of most of Dongjun's troops. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, received Yuan Shao wrote a letter, saying that Sun Jian had hidden the imperial seal, and immediately ordered Cai Yue and Cai Mao to lead 10,000 troops to intercept Sun Jian. He was counterattacked and defeated. Liu Biao personally led the army to besiege him. Fortunately, Sun Jian's soldiers were superior in force and lost most of his troops. able to escape"
"Sit down and talk slowly." Jiang Hua took out the tea and fruit plate and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard.
Jia Xu was already used to strange things. The person in front of him usually didn't put on airs. He took a bite of unknown fruit and continued: "Ding Yuan led his troops back to Bingzhou to recuperate. Du Qi, Du Qi, Du Qi, Du Qi and Du Jiu have been promoted. Du Qi is a counselor. Du Qi is a counselor. The eighth guard commander, Yuan Shao, was currently stationed in Xindu. He had exchanged letters with Gongsun Zan and planned to seize Jizhou and divide it equally. Yuan Shao sent a letter to Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, telling Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou. Han Fu had no plan and surrendered Jizhou to Yuan Shao. B4B Wuyiliu encouraged the noble families in the city to lead an assassination when Yuan Shao entered the city. Yuan Shao's generals were brave and escorted him out of the city. Yuan Shao could only garrison outside Xindu City as a threat, and waited for Gongsun Zan to come and join forces to plot against Jizhou."
"What's going on over there in Xinyang? What's our Youzhou Shepherd doing?" Jiang Hua asked, stroking the provocative rabbit.
"The counselor Tiansan analyzed the pros and cons and found that Gongsun Zan had captured the northern part of Jizhou and had troops stationed close at hand. He could attack Xinyang from both sides. It would be easy to seize Youzhou but it would be a real danger. So he sent Xianyu to assist Xianyuyin and two people to lead 20,000 troops to garrison in the east of Xinyang. Three hundred miles to the side as a shock."
"Hey, the princes in the world are all people who forget their loyalty when they see profit." Jiang Hua sighed. People's hearts are not ancient, but how ancient can they be? Yao and Shun period?
"Some time ago, news came from Yijiu that Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were recommended to go north. The two of them had arrived in Zhuojun together a few days ago. They had been wandering in the city for many days but never came to visit. Not just He Yi," Jia Xu's latest report , let Jiang Hua decide
Jiang Hua thought for a moment and said: "The scholarly family has a great influence on this era. It is really difficult to get ahead without one's family background. Don't worry about them. Those who want to stay can't be driven away, and those who want to leave can't be retained. I don't believe it. An army of 30,000 people There are few brave and resourceful people among them.”
Hearing this, Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "There are indeed several wise general candidates. Taiyi asked them to serve as commanders in the army. They will be trained more and then promoted as appropriate. But there is no war in Youzhou."
"Are we still taking the initiative to stir up trouble?" Jiang Hua asked angrily, but when he saw Jia Xu's expression, Jiang Hua raised his forehead
Jia Xu took a sip of tea and slowly explained the pros and cons to Jiang Hua: "First of all, the lord is not well-known, so naturally no one will defect to him; secondly, the lord's shadow guards are all in important positions, and attacking cities and territories is like picking out treasures. The noble families that the lord cares about, After occupying the city, keep them for fear of hidden dangers in the future and kill them. All the noble families in the world will be the enemies of the lord."
Jiang Hua is a bit lazy now, which means he needs to do a little more mental construction to conquer the world: "Okay, I'll bother Wen He. Where do we start if we want to fight? Get back to me tomorrow."
After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he continued to lie down and tease Tu Da. The autumn air was crisp and the warm sun was just right. Jia Xu handed over his hands and left. But before he could sleep for a while, Jiang Hua moved and Tu Da fell to the ground. He jumped up and kicked Jiang Hua's belly. Jiang Hua collapsed on its head, and the rabbit flew away. Jiang Hua shouted at the far away rabbit: "You little bastard, you always disturb people's dreams. I really want to kill you and make soup."
Just as he finished shouting, someone was behind Jiang Hua. He turned around and saw that it was Jia Xu who was back: "My lord, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun are here to greet you."
Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows. This person really said that Cao Cao would be here without saying anything. Of course, no one said anything about him now, so Cao Cao still stayed in Yangzhou: "Bring them in."
Jiang Hua put on the fruit plate and sat down at the table to wait for them. Soon Jia Xu brought two young people in their early twenties. Jiang Hua stood up politely and handed over his hands: "Welcome you two."
The two young men had an extraordinary bearing and were dressed in Confucian attire. They showed no signs of embarrassment at all. They cupped their hands and said, "That's polite."
After inviting everyone to sit down, Jiang Hua said, "I am Jiang Hua. I wonder what you two are here for?"
"I am Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. This Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong once met Lin Yuan in Hanoi. They said that the scenery in the north is unique and there are many talents. Zilong is a native of Changshan Zhending. The two of us traveled together and took the opportunity to study." Guo Jia introduced the two of them, but did not express their intention to come. Zhao Yun and Guo Jia both worked under Yuan Shao. Because they came from a poor family, they were never reused, so they came to Zhuojun to have a look at Yijiu's persuasion.
Jiang Hua motioned for the two of them to eat fruit: "There are as many talents in China as there are stars, and there are countless people who have shined in ancient and modern times. The merits and demerits of the merits and demerits are left to future generations to comment on."
Guo Jia agreed very much with Jiang Hua's statement: "In today's world, the king is weak, the princes are attacking, wars are everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. What do you think, sir?"
Jiang Hua asked with a smile but not a smile: "What are the king, what are the ministers, and what are the people?"
Looking at each other with Zhao Yun, Guo Jia pondered for a moment: "The common people are the people, the virtuous are the ministers, and the herdsmen are the king."
Jiang Hua continued to ask: "What are people, what are virtuous people, and what are pastors?"
"Those who are engaged in production are the common people, those who are knowledgeable and reasonable are the wise men, and those who govern the world are the shepherds." Guo Jia answered while looking at Jiang Hua.
At this time, Li Qingyun came over to ask for an explanation. Seeing the guests, she stood aside and listened. Jiang Hua hugged the big rabbit and ravaged its fat face. Jiang Hua said disapprovingly: "As far as I am concerned, the people Produce production to support the emperor and his ministers, and the emperor rules the officials and governs the world. There is an old saying: Water can carry a boat and it can also capsize it. How can we sail without water? The emperor treats the people like grass and mustard, so why do the people carry the emperor?"
Looking at Guo Jia and Zhao Yun who were deep in thought, Jiang Hua asked Jia Xu to arrange for them to stay, and treat them as friends. As for whether they would stay or go, Jiang Hua didn't care. People with different Taoist views should not conspire against each other, and those who share the same Taoism should walk hand in hand.
During the autumn harvest season, the fruits are abundant, there is laughter inside and outside the manor, and the sergeants take turns guarding the posts. They also participate in this joyful moment. Jiang Hua and his wife go out with two fur balls in their arms and patrol their territory on horseback.
When he came back, he met Zhao Yun and Guo Jia who were visiting. They had lived in the manor for three days and would go out for sightseeing every day. Jiang Hua greeted politely: "You two, you are very used to living in the manor. ?”
The two men came forward and paid their respects: "Zhao Yun and Guo Jia pay their respects to the lord."
Jiang Hua dismounted and helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "It seems that you two have made up your mind. I will hold a banquet for you tonight and get to know my people."
Taiyi is now Jiang Hua's personal butler. He can just tell him everything and make sure everything is done properly. There are now more than a dozen people in the Jiang Mansion. They were arranged after passing the test. When the sky is dim, the lobby of Jiang Mansion is brightly lit.
Jiang Hua brought Li Qingyun and Tai Ziwei, and Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia were present. The food and drinks were mostly in modern style. After eating, drinking and laughing for a while, Jiang Hua asked: "I want to conquer the world, what do you think?"
Jia Xu was mature and restrained and did not show off. Zhao Yun regarded himself as a military general and did not interrupt. Guo Jiaxin needed to show off: "My lord, the world is now in chaos. The king has lost his deer and the princes are chasing him. I thought that with great righteousness, I could gather people's hearts and launch an expedition." And fight for the world"
Jiang Hua looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu cupped his hands: "Without my lord's permission, I can't talk to Fengxiao about anything without my lord's permission. Please give me your lord's permission."
Jiang Hua waved his hand and signaled Jia Xu to continue. The next time was when Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were stunned. Who would have thought that the unknown Jiang Hua would have such strength hidden behind him, with 30,000 elite soldiers with explosive strength, and secrets hidden in the princes' tents? There are also ideas that are contrary to the world's nobles. These news continue to impact these two people.
After slowing down for a while, Guo Jia handed over his hand: "My lord, Jia's assertion just now was in vain, please forgive me."
Jiang Hua ate the fruit after dinner: "Those who don't know are not guilty. It doesn't matter. You can continue talking."
"Now that there are many princes in the world going on conquest, my lord has a hidden secret that can influence the princes. Why not promote the rescue operation? It is justifiable to send troops. We can take the opportunity to drive away the hundreds of scholar families." Guo Jia suggested
"The words of filial piety are reasonable. I thought they could prompt a response. I took the opportunity to provoke the gentry and the princes into fighting. The lord sat back and took advantage of him. After the war, I took the opportunity to kill him as a deterrent. When the army came to the city again, The members of the aristocratic family will be discouraged and flee, and then they can provoke the princes to become kings and emperors. This matter will definitely not cause a big disturbance." Jia Xu is indeed a poisonous person, this strategy is poisonous and cruel enough
Jiang Hua thought for a while and came up with a compromise strategy: "After occupying the city, we took the opportunity to confiscate the land of the aristocratic families and distribute them to the people. The property was used as military supplies and the people who drove away the noble clans were taken advantage of. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan wanted to seize it. In Jizhou, Han Fu originally surrendered to Yuan Shao, but the secret guards provoked the noble families in the city to assassinate Yuan Shao. Now Han Fu and Yuan Shao are incompatible. Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, sent 20,000 troops to contain Gongsun Zan. If Han Fu turned to Liu Yu for help in writing a book, Liu Yu would You can send our troops to rescue you, and you can pay the price by approaching Youzhou City. Gongsun Zan has been in conflict with Liu Yu for a long time, so you can provoke a fight between the two, and I will reap the benefits."
"The Lord is wise" Jia Xu and others all flattered him
"Eat and drink enough tonight, and start preparing the sergeants tomorrow to prepare for the expedition." The atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively after that.
