The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 683 Schrödinger's Jia Xu
"Your Majesty, have you thought about it carefully?"

Outside Puwu City, Jia Xu looked at Gongsun Zan with a smile on his face, his eyes full of searching light.

"This matter...let me think twice."

Gongsun Zan hesitated for a while before answering in a low voice.

"Think twice?" Jia Xu immediately showed a strange look on his face, "Forgive me for being rude, but I really don't know what else you can think twice about. With such conditions, how many people have enjoyed it in the four hundred years since I was a big man! How can you enjoy this honor if you don't come from the same sect as your majesty?"

Gongsun Zan still shook his head, and sighed in a low voice: "Although the conditions are good, a certain ambition is not here."

"A good ambition is not here. Could it be that the prince doesn't want to be a Hanchen?"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth.

This hat was really too big, Gongsun Zan suddenly got up, glared at Jia Xu and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my Gongsun family in Liaoxi has received the state's favor for generations, so how could I have the heart to rebel!"

"Since there is no rebellious heart, why shouldn't the emperor order it?"

"This……"

Gongsun Zan was speechless.

Just as the war in the south was in full swing, Jia Xu had already arrived at Changshan.

According to Lin Chao's order, Jia Xu not only had [-] troops as backing for his trip, but also marched along Bingzhou, recruiting [-] troops under Zhang Yan's command, and then came to Changshan County to prepare for a wave of negotiations with Gongsun Zan.

With Jia Xu's personality, of course he was unwilling to go into the city alone to meet Gongsun Zan, so both parties led a thousand troops each and met ten miles away from the city.

However, today's negotiations did not go smoothly.

Although Gongsun Zan only had three counties under his command, he had an army of tens of thousands. In addition, he had already gotten used to the chaos of times these years, so how could he give up his power so easily as a local emperor in his own territory.

Even if Jia Xu offered an extremely high price—worshiping as the third prince, increasing the number of households in the city, and even letting the prince worship Gongsun Zan as his teacher, once the prince ascends the throne in the future, he, Gongsun Zan, will be the grand tutor above the three princes!
Gongsun Zan naturally did not have the idea of ​​rebelling against the big man, but he did not want to be controlled by others, but the current situation did not allow him to waver.

Jia Xu naturally saw Gongsun Zan's hesitation, so he continued to smile and said, "Your Majesty, you know that in half a year at most, the war in the south will be over. When the traitor Yuan Shu will be crowned leader, the princes of the world will definitely rush to Luoyang to pay homage. Nature comes together.

The troubled times of the past where the heroes stand side by side are long gone... This world is originally the world of the Liu family. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he should reappear the prosperous age of the Han family, and look forward to the king... Don't be obsessed with it! "

When he heard the last sentence, Gongsun Zan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be moved.

It is difficult to turn extravagance into frugality, even though I know in my heart that I should not have the power in my hands, but if I really want to hand it over to the court, let alone Gongsun Zan, it would be the same for anyone else.

However, Jia Xu is still confident that he can persuade Gongsun Zan.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has often told people in Xuzhou these years that when he and the Marquis were studying under Lu Gong's family, everyone despised him because he was born in a poor family. Only the Marquis gave him a lot of protection and support, and His Majesty is grateful. Then I will do it with my brother.

His Majesty also said that even though he was young and accomplished nothing at that time, it was the happiest day in His Majesty's life..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan's eyes moved, and he blurted out, "Xuande...Your Majesty, did he really say that?"

"Your Majesty is at the top, and the king is at the front. If I speak half a lie, I will destroy the heavens and the earth!"

Jia Xu hurriedly said solemnly.

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan was extremely moved, his eyes were full of reminiscence, as if he had returned to the old school days, and he took Liu Bei to eat, drink and play, doing all kinds of ridiculous things.

Seeing this, Jia Xu secretly smiled.

This wave is stable!

For someone with a tough personality like Gongsun Zan, it was not easy to lure him with a high official and generous salary, or to coerce him with the force of the army.

The best way to use it is to move it with emotion and understand it with reason.

The reason why Gongsun Zan was unwilling to submit to the court was also because he was worried that he would not die well.

Although Liu Bei has a very good reputation, after so many years, Gongsun Zan is not sure whether he is still the candid brother of the past.

Now, after hearing Jia Xu's words, Gongsun Zan was recalled and his mood began to waver.

Mou and Xuande are brothers after all.

Now that he has ascended the throne, he should be happy.

Besides, I have no intention of rebelling against the great man, so why not obey the imperial edict?
If he resisted stubbornly, it would not only hurt Xuande's heart, but also leave him with a bad reputation for thousands of years and be despised by the world.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan sighed, stood up and said, "Mr. Jia, let's announce the edict."

"Junhou Gaoyi, I admire you!"

Jia Xu complimented Gongsun Zan fiercely, and then took out the imperial edict and read it out.

As before, Liu Bei worshiped Gongsun Zan as Sikong, increased the number of households in the city, and changed Gongsun Zan's fiefdom from the barren Youzhou to the prosperous Nieyang in the hinterland of Nanyang.

After Gongsun Zan received the edict, Jia Xu suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty is now promoted to Sikong, so it stands to reason that he should go to Luoyang to preside over the government, but the world is still uncertain, so I wonder if the Marquis is willing to lead the army to serve His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan said joyfully instead of being surprised: "Mr. Jia, where is Your Majesty planning to order someone to conquer?"

Originally, Gongsun Zan accepted to live in Luoyang for the rest of his life, but who knew that Liu Bei dared to let him lead the army to fight. Gongsun Zan had to sigh Liu Bei's big heart.

With military merits, life in Luoyang will be much easier in the future.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Since Dong Bandit, Liangzhou has been a big Han country, but it has always been occupied by the bandit Han Sui. The princes and princes have always been brave. Why don't you lead your army to Xiliang to seek the bandits and serve the country?"

To fight Han Sui?

Okay!

Gongsun Zan hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Minister, please obey the holy order!"

In the middle of May of the first year of Tianming, Emperor Liu Bei took Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan as generals, and Jia Xu as his military adviser, sent an army of 12 westwards, recovered Bingzhou, and conquered Liangzhou, thus starting the process of unifying the world.

However, this battle, which is called the Battle of Liangzhou by later generations, is really a bit weird, and there are many paradoxes in it. Even if the official historian recorded it according to the facts, it is considered by later generations to use the Spring and Autumn style of writing, and some people even think that the history books have been tampered with. Pass.

First of all, the first point is that as we all know, although Liu Bei conquered east and west throughout his life and rejuvenated the Han Dynasty three times, he was extremely lenient as a king, and rarely punished his ministers and workers.

When it comes to fighting, they are extremely restrained. It is good to be able to defeat the enemy and win, and never kill too much.

As for Prime Minister Lin Zichu, although he was ruthless and decisive in killing, he was still benevolent and righteous to the common people and non-threatening enemies.Except for being wild when dealing with alien races, he strictly restrained the army throughout his life.

But this time when they went to Xiliang, the imperial army still looked down on them, but there were many killings.

Even when Han Sui was about to surrender, Gongsun Zan directly led his army into the city and beheaded Han Sui and his family.

Because the killing was so extreme that most people in later generations believed that it was not at the behest of Lin Chao, but the result of Gongsun Zan and Jia Xu's arbitrariness.

The second point is that the time is not right.

As we all know, it often takes several months to attack a strong city, let alone a state.

In this Battle of Liangzhou, apart from the three months required for the march, the entire war only took half a year. Gongsun Zan and Jia Xu brought the entire Liangzhou back into the Han territory.

People in later generations can't figure out why the imperial army was able to win in such a short period of time.

The third point is Jia Xu.

According to historical records, Jia Xu in the impression of later generations is often a smooth character who is harmless to humans and animals, deliberately low-key and good at dancing.

As for his merits, most people in later generations believe that although Jia Xu joined Liu Bei's camp when Dong Zhuo was in trouble, his merits are not even comparable to Jushou, let alone compared with Xun Yu, Xun You and others.

At best, it is better than trial and match at most.

Besides ability, when historians compiled histories later, they often biographyed the prime minister Lin Chao alone, and biographyed his successors Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang together.In addition, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Cui Yan, who are good at government affairs, made a biography, and Xun You, Guo Jia, Jushou, and Xin Ping made a biography.

Xun You is loyal and good at making tricks, Guo Jia is dissolute and decisive, Ju Shou is always low-key and good at organizing, Xin Ping is humble by nature but ruthless!

What's more, those who are good at fighting with the army call these four military advisers "Ji Han Four Strategies"!
But Jia Xu was the only one who had never served as a military adviser in any major battles alone, which caused people in later generations to have different opinions on his abilities.

Even historians couldn't sum it up, so they could only make a biography of him and his old rival Shenpei.

Some people say that he is mediocre, only good at seeking his own life, he is mediocre and has no achievements, and he is in a high position because of his relationship with Prime Minister Lin Chao.

There are also people who are ruthless, vicious, and omnipotent. Even compared to Lin Chao, he is not weaker at all, but he just doesn't like to show off.

The main source of the latter statement is because of the Battle of Liangzhou.

Because this is Jia Xu's first and only time as a military adviser of the [-]-level army, and it is also the most dazzling achievement in his life.

After half a year in Pingyongliang, no one would believe that it was not due to Jia Xu.

But if it is his credit, why did Jia Xu appear to be so inactive before, and even only have a Shuntian Mansion similar to the propaganda department in his hand?
All these mysteries have cast a veil on Jia Xu, preventing future generations from seeing the whole picture.

But just before Liangzhou was about to be pacified, Chen Deng, who was then Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, asked this riddle that countless people in later generations wanted to know eagerly.

At that time, Liangzhou was already dilapidated due to the raging army.

And Han Sui, the leader of the bandits, was trapped in the isolated city after being beaten to the ground many times, and was about to be defeated.

"Fu Ling, in the past you were so tolerant and refused to show your ability, why did you change your normal behavior this time, even..."

Witnessing what the army did along the way, although he understood that Jia Xu did this to win as soon as possible, Chen Deng thought it was too much.

Hearing this question, Jia Xu turned his head with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.

"Yuanlong, do you know that a certain man has already passed the year of knowing his destiny, and the days to come are numbered. Besides, this battle is likely to be the last battle to pacify the world, and there will be no more wars after that...

Therefore, it doesn't hurt to show off what he has learned a little bit, what does Yuan Long think? "

Although he has been a shrinking turtle for so many years, after Li Ruzhi's death, Jia Xu has completely looked away.

If you refuse to show it because of concerns, you will not let down what you have learned in your life.

Furthermore, with Lin Zichu as the backing, he shouldn't be in any danger.

Even if there is a risk, Jia Xu has to be self-willed once. After all, he will never have the chance to show it off. At worst, he will resign from office and return to his hometown after fighting this battle, and spend the rest of his life in peace.

Hearing this, Chen Deng's eyes were full of shock, but in the end he remained silent and just bowed his hands to Jia Xu.

……

Nanyang, Wancheng.

Everyone was busy during this time, but obviously Guo Jia was not among them.

After receiving Lin Chao's order, Guo Jia suddenly remembered that he still had a secret service agency like the School Affairs Office in his hands.

It has been idle for too long. In the seven years since Lin Chao resigned, Xuzhou has not expanded outwards. Although the school affairs office is still developing silently, it has not shown its glory for too long. Even the spy chief Guo Jia has almost Forgot it was there.

It's not that the role of the School Affairs Office is not great. In fact, after years of development, the scale and capabilities of the School Affairs Office have far surpassed that of Lin Xi's initial period.

It's just that Guo Jia is too lazy. Except for the extremely important and important matters, he left the rest of the trivial matters to Pang De.

Now that the big job is coming, Guo Jia ordered Pang De to select [-] elites from the school office, pretend to be merchants, and follow him to Nanyang.

It is said that it is a mission, but what kind of person is Guo Jia, who directly turned this trip to Nanyang into a public-funded tour, at least before arriving in Nanyang.

In the end, Pang De really didn't want to go, so he rebuked Yan Zhizhi, which made Guo Jia speed up a little.

Hurry up, and finally entered Wancheng one month before Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao led the army to besiege.

After entering Wancheng, Guo Jia had a relapse of his old illness, as if he was really like a peddler, letting his subordinates start a business, while he ate, drank and had fun.

Life went on like this, and then Pang De, who wanted to make contributions, couldn't help it anymore, and advised Guo Jia again, hoping that Guo Jia would turn to the right and stop going further and further down the crooked road of pleasure.

It's a pity that this time Guo Jia not only did not adopt Pound's suggestion, but even beat him back and reprimanded Pound.

What, are you teaching me how to do things?
After the reprimand, Guo Jia took Pang De to the most lively government-run brothel in Wancheng that night, and had in-depth exchanges with the ladies and sisters there.

That night, Mr. Guo spent money like water and lingered wantonly among the flowers, which opened Pound's eyes and made him honest.

So within ten days after the effect of the medicine, Pang De never advised Guo Jia again.

After finishing Pound, Guo Jia continued to live a life of playing music and dancing.

It's a pity that after getting up one morning, Guo Jia heard a commotion outside.

Walking out the door, I found that everyone on the street was in a hurry, with worried expressions on their faces.

All of a sudden, everyone in Wancheng, which used to be extremely prosperous, was in danger.

Just when Guo Jia was puzzled, Pang De arrived and took Guo Jia home to report: "The government order, the imperial army has come from outside Wancheng, and now Wancheng has been surrounded!"

What, our people are calling?

So fast!
When he was astonished, Guo Jia suddenly remembered what Lin Chao said before he left.

When the time is right...

Thinking of this, Guo Jia suddenly became enlightened.

Now is the best time!

"Ling Ming, go test our chess piece. After all, we haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know if she is still loyal to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Pang De was overjoyed, knowing that the opportunity to make contributions came, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"As ordered!"

　Just a few more chapters to go.

　　This book will not be written until the death of the protagonist group like other books, it will only be clicked until the end.

　　This chapter can be regarded as an account of Jia Xu's ending, and interspersed with some other people's later evaluations.
