Chapter 37 Intrigue
A thousand cups of wine are less than a confidant.

After more than half a month, Liu Xie drank alcohol for the first time, and drank a little too much.

After confirming Duan Yan's refusal, he successfully recruited Jia Xu again. Excited, he forgot that this body was only fifteen years old, and thought it was the alcohol-tested social animal in his previous life who accidentally drank too much.

Duan Yao saw it and was very happy.

Your Majesty doesn't treat me as an outsider, otherwise how could I get drunk in my camp.

Sending Liu Xie into the prepared luxury tent, Duan Yan was still not satisfied, and dragged Yang Biao to talk for a while before humming a ditty and staggering away.

Yang Biao entered the tent, looking at Liu Xie, who was blushing and sleeping deeply, felt distressed and had a headache.

If the last contest at Yang Feng Daying was just an undercurrent, this time the conflict in front of Duan Yan and Jia Xu is a vortex that surfaced.The emperor used Duan Jiong as an excuse to stir up the strong dissatisfaction of the Xiliang people towards the Kanto people, and successfully recruited Jia Xu under his command. Is it an expedient measure or a long-planned counterattack?
Yang Biao couldn't see clearly, so he was worried.

"Father." Yang Xiu walked into the big tent and saw Yang Biao sitting here with a dignified expression. He thought he was worried about the emperor, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty is just drunk, there is nothing serious, just take a rest."

Yang Biao glanced at Yang Xiu, winked, got up and left the big tent.

Yang Xiu was puzzled, but still followed.The two came to the side, Yang Biao put his hands behind his back, looked at the Huashan Mountain in the distance, and thought for a long time.

"Dezu, tell me...is your majesty intoxicated or intoxicated?"

Yang Xiu looked at Yang Biao suspiciously.

What is intoxicated, intoxicated?
Seeing this, Yang Biao had no choice but to clarify further. "He passed away drunk in Duan Yan's camp, and what he said to Duan Yan and Jia Xu before, is it a stopgap measure, or a heartfelt statement?"

Yang Xiu was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "It should be from the bottom of my heart. Your Majesty is not good at making false statements when dealing with people. Besides, Jia Xu is very witty. It is not easy to deceive him, and it can only be counterproductive."

"So, His Majesty really intends to use the Xiliang people to suppress the Kanto people?"

Yang Xiu frowned slightly. "Father, strictly speaking, we are not from Kanto either."

Yang Biao froze for a moment, then became angry from embarrassment, raising his hand was a slap in the face. "Confused, do I mean Kanto people, Kansai people? I'm talking about Confucianism and kingly way. I, Hongnong Yang, passed on the "Shangshu" to my family. I learned Confucianism and sought kingly way. People from Xiliang?"

Yang Xiu was caught off guard and was stunned by the beating. He immediately exploded and was about to fight back. Then he realized that the furious person in front of him was his father. ...to save life and death, it is urgent to follow the right."

"If it's just a matter of haste, it's fine." Seeing Yang Xiu's grievances, Yang Biao also regretted it, consciously losing his composure and not being a minister. "I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven did not act in a hurry, but did it on purpose. Do you remember what the Son of Heaven said outside the camp gate? He blamed Confucianism for the current situation of the big man. This...how ridiculous."

As soon as he turned his head, his expression became sharp again. "Who is bewitching His Majesty?"

Yang Xiu was startled, and instinctively took a step back. "Father, why did you say that?"

"Your Majesty has been studying since childhood, and the lecturers are all great Confucianists, who regard Confucianism as the orthodox. How could there be such a deviant act?"

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, but couldn't figure it out.

The father and son were relatively silent.

Duan Yan returned to his army, sat down and drank two glasses of water, and a clerk brought the documents he had just received.

Duan Yan took it and glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment, the water he just drank in his mouth almost spewed out.

"Li Jue and Guo Si are here so soon?"

The scribe nodded. "I have received the news before, but the general is having a banquet with His Majesty, and he never dared to disturb him."

Duan Yan suddenly remembered the emperor's reaction at that time, thoughtful.The news that the emperor heard at that time may be this news, but he didn't say anything.Thinking of this, Duan Yan suddenly appreciated the emperor a little more.

To have such concentration at such a young age is really different.

"Wenhe, please come."

The clerk turned around and left. Duan Yan picked up the water glass, got up and walked to the map, humming a little song while checking the situation.

When Jia Xu came in, Duan Yan was singing to the point of complacency, and his voice was unavoidably louder.Jia Xu heard it clearly, and said with a light smile, "The general is in a good mood."

Duan Yan turned his head and took a look, laughed, before walking back to the case, he handed the news he just received to Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, you and I are credited."

Jia Xu read it again, then handed it back. "The general's credit lies not with Li Jue and Guo Si, but with Zhang Ji."

Duan Yan put away his smile and frowned slightly. "You mean, Your Majesty will use the strength of the Northern and Southern Army and Yang Feng to face Li Jue and Guo Si?"

Jia Xu didn't answer. She crossed her hands and walked to the map, looking back and forth for a moment.

"General, Your Majesty is determined to rejuvenate, why is he willing to be influenced by others? This battle is his first battle to restore the majesty of the imperial court." Jia Xu turned his head and looked at Duan Yao quietly. "The general is his mainstay."

Duan Jian disagrees. "Can't fight, just block Zhang Ji, what kind of mainstay?"

Jia Xu is not in a hurry. "The Taiwei is the imperial court. The general is a stable man, able to calm the people. He has guarded Huayin for several years. The people praise him, and the soldiers have enough food. Therefore, before the battle, your majesty first went to the general's camp and won the support of the general. Guo Bang's determination to fight. Otherwise, why don't your majesty cross the Wei and flee to the east?"

Duan Yan rolled his eyes, a reserved smile appeared on his face. "Wenhe, what you say is reasonable, what you say is reasonable. It's a pity that you are just watching from the sidelines. Although Zhang Ji is brave, if he knows that I am raiding for His Majesty, would he still dare to come?"

"The important weapon of the country should not be shown lightly. Whether the general fights or not, the credit is the first." Jia Xu raised his hand and pointed to the distance. "Huashan doesn't say anything and doesn't allow it to rise, that's what the generals say."

Duan Yan glanced at Huashan and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jia Xu also smiled, crossed her hands, and looked at Duan Yao quietly.

After a while, Duan Yan put away his smile, put down his water glass, and put his hand around Jia Xu's arm. "Wen He, Your Majesty said, it's a pity that you are not my Duan's nephew, and you are deeply in my heart. You have His Majesty's trust, and your future is limitless. Even if I, Duan, want to cling to your lintel, I'm afraid I can't reach it. Fortunately, You and I are in the village, and there is such a friendship, which comforts me a little."

Jia Xu raised her head and looked into Duan Yao's eyes. "The general is serious. If there is no general to help me, even if I have a tongue as sharp as a knife, what can I do? With all due respect, it is not entirely due to the Taiwei that His Majesty attaches great importance to Liangzhou, but also due to Dong Zhuo."

"Wenhe?" Duan Yan was puzzled.

"Taiwei, let the court know how to use the benefits of Liangzhou people. Dong Zhuo, let the court know the harm of despising Liangzhou people. Whether Liangzhou is stable or not is enough to shake the world. Therefore, if your majesty wants to rejuvenate the great man, Liangzhou must be settled first. Just as At this moment, if you want to repel Li Jue and Guo Si, you must first get the help of the generals. Benefits and harms are two sides of Liangzhou, and they cannot be separated even for a moment."

Duan Yao thoughtfully and nodded frequently.

"Dong Zhuo has been in chaos for six years. His majesty has experienced the harm of Liangzhou so far, so he can break the festival today. If the general can help your majesty repel Li Jue and Guo Si and show the benefits of Liangzhou, how can your majesty do it?" Can you forget the merits of a general? A word from a gentleman is hard to follow, not to mention the oath of the emperor, the alliance of blood?"

Duan Yan was overjoyed, held Jia Xu's arm, and shook it vigorously.

"Wenhe is worthy of being a wise man in Liangzhou. I have seen people well. With Wenhe as the confidant of the court, and I as the minion of the court, the world can be ruled. Wenhe, what should I do, you might as well just say it, I will do it for you."
