After Jia Xu got out of the car, Liu Zhang did not exchange too many greetings with him. Instead, he briefly exchanged greetings with the officials who came with him one by one.
After everything was arranged, Liu Zhang pulled Jia Xu into a carriage, and then the team slowly set off towards Chang'an.
In the carriage, Liu Zhang was very moved when he saw Jia Xu's slightly older face.
Jia Xu will soon be fifty-five years old. Perhaps this old age belongs to this age.
But when you think of Jia Xu's energetic appearance before the expedition, this old age is not normal!
It must be that Jia Xu has been too tired in the past two years!
During this expedition to the north, Liu Zhang mobilized too many forces from Yizhou.
Whether it is military power or manpower.
But more important is military power!
Almost all the elites were taken away, and 40,000 county soldiers were forcibly transferred later.
At that time, Yizhou was in a state of extreme emptiness.
If Jia Xu hadn't been in charge, Liu Zhang wouldn't have dared to do this!
Jia Xu had to supply Liu Zhang's needs and maintain internal stability in Yizhou.
His eyes must monitor the movements in Yizhou at all times and nip all rebellion in the cradle!
In history, Jia Xu lived to be seventy-six years old, but that was when Jia Xu was wise enough to protect himself and didn't worry about anything.
But this Jia Xu in front of him, Liu Zhang has never had anything that he has not worried about since he surrendered!
Thinking of Zhuge Liang being exhausted to death in history, Liu Zhang became worried, fearing that Jia Xu would die early!
"Wen He, you have worked really hard these past two years!"
Liu Zhang's words immediately made Jia Xu feel refreshed, as if he was several years younger.
"I feel honored to be able to contribute to my lord's great cause!"
Veteran. . .
Liu Zhang was deeply touched and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Jia Xu can be called a veteran not only in terms of age, but also in terms of the time he has followed Liu Zhang.
Perhaps it was just an impulse that made Jia Xu work hard for Liu Zhang for eighteen years!
"Wen He, in the past Luoyang made strategic plans and planned the great cause of rejuvenation! After eighteen years, it finally came to fruition!"
"We have taken a big step together by joining forces!"
Jia Xu nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of excitement.
I think Liu Zhang was just a rear general without any foundation, and he had just over ten thousand soldiers and horses!
Being in Luoyang, there are dangers everywhere and life is in danger all the time!
However, their monarchs and ministers walked all the way, cutting through thorns and thorns, crushing all obstacles!
Entered Hanzhong, destroyed Zhang Lu, and captured all Bashu counties one after another!
Ping Nanzhong, conquered the southern barbarians, and finally became a prince with more than 100,000 troops!
Ma Teng was defeated, Han Sui was destroyed, Qiang and Hu were killed, Xianbei was massacred, and the entire land in Guanzhong was conquered. The foundation of the great cause was completed!
From General Hou to General Wei, step by step, I have reached today's Duke of Qin!
The young boy who was not as good as a weakling in the past has finally grown into the best hero in the world!
"My lord has gone through many hardships and deserves today's achievements!"
"Yes, I have gone through many hardships! This journey has been bumpy and difficult, but I am lucky to have your help!"
Perhaps only Liu Zhang felt how difficult this journey was.
It may not be as difficult as Tang Monk's ninety-nine and eighty-one, but hardships and setbacks will always be with Liu Zhang.
Fortunately, I finally said yes, and all the hardships are over!
The hardships Liu Zhang endured finally paid off!
Jia Xu looked into Liu Zhang's eyes and shook his head slightly.
"No, the biggest contributor to why my lord is here today is not me, nor Gongda, nor Han Sheng, nor Han Sheng."
"Everything must be attributed to the lord himself! If it weren't for the lord's firm belief, there would be no way he would be where he is today!"
Looking at Jia Xu's unusually firm eyes, Liu Zhang knew that he definitely meant it from the heart.
But Liu Zhang smiled and then shook his head.
"Wenhe, even though you have said this, it cannot be attributed to me personally!"
"From the separatist rule of Hanzhong to domination of the northwest, it is inseparable from everyone's efforts!"
Jia Xu's eyes were filled with relief, and there was no longer any worry in his heart.
"My lord, it is really a blessing for Qin to think so!"
Liu Zhang is still so humble and his mind is still so calm.
Frequent victories did not make him lose himself, nor did his huge power make him lose his mind.
Based on this alone, Jia Xu knew that the end of Qin was definitely not here.
Qin State. . .
Liu Zhang couldn't help but chuckle, this title was really strange.
"Wen He, come to Chang'an this time, do you understand what I mean?"
Jia Xu's expression changed, and he looked at Liu Zhang with a half-smile.
"My lord, why don't you give me a sinecure to take care of myself..."
Old fox!
Liu Zhang cursed secretly and pointed at Jia Xu with malicious intent.
"You have a wonderful idea! How can you get off my pirate ship so easily?"
"In the three states of Yi, Yong, and Liang combined, no one can live without me, and I can't live without you!"
Jia Xu clearly knew that Liu Zhang was unintentionally complimenting him, but he still couldn't help being moved.
With such a lord, even if he is exhausted to death, he will not complain!
"Haha, I was just talking..."
"Whatever my lord orders me to do, I will naturally obey it!"
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
"Wenhe, Yizhou's burden is too light. From now on, you will have to shoulder the entire Qin State!"
When Jia Xu heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he straightened his back.
That feeling seemed to tell Liu Zhang that I could bear more!
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely share my worries for you!"
"By the way Wenhe, do you have anyone for the position of Yizhou Biejia?"
Since Yizhou Mu was concurrently held by Liu Zhang, it was impossible for him to leave Chang'an and go to Yizhou.
Therefore, the post of Yizhou Biejia actually holds the rights of Yizhou Mu.
But because of Liu Zhang's trust in Jia Xu, he could hand over military and political power to Jia Xu.
In the future, after Biejia is replaced, Liu Zhang will only hand over government affairs. As for the military power, it will naturally be separated.
In this situation in China, Liu Zhang would never allow it to appear under his rule.
"My lord, you are deliberately testing me!"
Faced with Jia Xu's questions, Liu Zhang pretended not to know.
"Wen He, why do you say this?"
"My lord has called all the outstanding talents in Yizhou to Chang'an. Isn't it obvious who should be given the post of Yizhou's special master?"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Sure enough, everything could not be hidden from Jia Xu.
The older he gets, the more demonic he becomes, so it must be particularly suitable for Jia Xu!
Liu Zhang recruited almost all the outstanding talents from the Yizhou clan to Chang'an.
At present, none of the remaining members of the aristocratic family in Yizhou has extraordinary talents.
The great talent Liu Zhang left behind was Dong He, a native of Zhijiang, Nanjun, Jingzhou.
"Wen He, Dong He has been working under you for these years. You should know him very well, right?"
When it comes to Dong He, Jia Xu obviously has a hint of fondness.
“My lord’s knowledge of people is truly admirable!”
"Dong Youzai has both ability and political integrity, he is honest, and he is much calmer than others in dealing with foreigners!"
"Although Dong Youzai is not from Yizhou, his talents and virtues are extremely admirable!"
"If Dong He takes over as the governor of Yizhou, he will definitely be able to handle Yizhou's affairs well."
With Jia Xu's approval, Liu Zhang strengthened his belief.
As the father of Dong Yun, one of the four prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty in history, his talents are already outstanding.
Especially since he had been an official for more than 20 years and never had a single stone of food stolen from his family until his death, Liu Zhang admired him even more.
I believe that with Dong He as Yizhou's guest, he will surely create a trend of cleanliness in the officialdom!
