Great Military Division

Chapter 358 The Mastermind Xun You and Gou God Jia Xu!

Dong Zhuo wooed Cao Bao, Zang Ba, Kong Ben and others in order to promise them great profits so that they could be used for their own use. After all, they were behind enemy lines and the danger was extremely high.

The so-called risk is directly proportional to the profit. If there is not enough resources to tilt and not enough profit incentives, it will be difficult for a disadvantaged person to become an enemy of a powerful opponent.

This point, Liu Bian is naturally very clear, but he did not directly give a bargaining chip, but took the lead in asking: "Since Feng Xiao has already thought of this, he must have his own ideas, let's talk to me first, let's discuss later. "

"Here."

Sure enough, Guo Jia had already done the relevant homework, and immediately gave a bow and gave his own thoughts: "Ma Teng and Han Sui are the two strongest generals among the dozen generals in Longxi and Guanzhong."

"Now, Han Sui and Ma Teng have become brothers with different surnames. They are even more powerful, and the family dominates. Obviously, whoever can win over Ma Teng and Han Sui is equivalent to conquering the entire Longxi."

"According to what I know, Dong Zhuo also tried to recruit Ma Teng and Han Sui before, but unfortunately, because of the strength of our army, the two did not agree to Dong Zhuo for the time being, and because Li Ru entered Xuzhou, the matter was finally shelved."

"Now, Yuan Kai is integrating the internal power of the court, and his power has even penetrated into the prime minister's mansion, and gradually disintegrated everything left by Li Ru. It seems that a palace change will be launched soon, and Dong Zhuo is in danger."

Speaking of this, Liu Bian suddenly had an idea, waved his hand and temporarily interrupted: "Fengxiao."

Guo Jiayi bowed: "Your Majesty, do you have any questions?"

Liu Bian frowned, and asked tentatively, "Is it possible that we can send someone to inform Dong Zhuo to make side-effects on Yuan Kai's plan to plot rebellion?"

Guo Jia said softly: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I have already issued an order on this matter, but it seems to have no effect. Although the reason is not known for the time being, I think it is better to be prepared."

"It turned out to have been done."

Liu Bian was deeply impressed by Guo Jia's wisdom, so he stopped being entangled, waved his hands and said, "Since that's the case, you can continue to analyze."

Guo Jia nodded and nodded: "Once Yuan Kai is allowed to complete the palace change to kill Dong Zhuo, he will definitely extend his hand to Ma Teng and Han Sui, high-ranking officials with generous salaries, and worshiping generals and marquises is inevitable."

"So, Your Majesty, we must come up with something that Chang'an Hanting cannot satisfy. It is best to let Ma Teng and Han Sui understand that between Chang'an and Nanyang, Nanyang will surely win."

The implication is that we can give high-ranking officials rich salary, worship generals and seal marquises, Changan Hanting can also give it, we can give it to General Fubo, Yuan Kai can also give it, and even add some chips.

What's more, Nanyang is now the one who can't reach it. With the same bargaining chip, the other party belongs to the geographical attribute of the border county, and at this moment occupies the upper peak.

If the Nanyang Hanting can't come up with something that Chang'an doesn't have, and convince Ma Teng and Han Sui that between the two, Nanyang will win, then the chances of the other party's defecting to Chang'an will definitely be greater than Nanyang.

Guo Jia is worthy of being Guo Jia, his planning has reached a deeper level, no longer limited to simple competition for official positions, titles, and honors, but a big bet on the future of Nanyang and Chang'an.

In this regard, Liu Bian strongly agrees: "Official titles and titles are just icing on the cake. The real competition between the two sides is the competition for belonging to the world, which is fundamental."

Guo Jia cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty is wise, and this is exactly what I mean."

Liu Bian frowned, waved his hands and said: "Don't be anxious to serve filial piety, let me think about it."

Guo Jia nodded and said nothing.

But Liu Bian fell into deep thought, and began to ask the Ji Military Division Alliance: "Teacher, do we have something that can make Ma Teng and Han Sui recognize at a glance that we can submit?"

"If there is this thing, we can even save the rewards of official titles and titles. After all, there are too many empty checks, which is not very good for our future development."

Liu Bian is very resistant to empty checks, because in his opinion, conquering the world is inevitable, which means that the empty checks given must be cashed.

But if the official position given is not suitable for the other party at all, wouldn't it be embarrassing for yourself?Should it be a substitution at that time, or should we bite the bullet?

Obviously!

Liu Bian didn't want this kind of situation to happen. This was an overdraft for the future of Nanyang Hanting. If he could use something to strengthen the idea of ​​Ma Teng and Han Sui's submission, he would be able to win the greatest victory with the smallest bargaining chip.

The Military Division Alliance also dislikes empty promises, otherwise Sun Jian would have been promised huge profits. Now that the same situation is in front of the Military Division Alliance, it is natural to deal with it in the same way:

NO!

The Military Division Alliance paused for a moment, as if they were discussing internally. After a long time, they said: "Master Bian, what we present must be able to restrain Ma Teng and Han Sui."

"Since that's the case, the best thing is black powder. Give him two hand grenades to taste. It's guaranteed to shock Ma Teng and Han Sui's jaws."

"However, the black gunpowder is still in the development stage, and it can't be produced for the time being. It seems that it should be possible to send two god kite crossbows, but the deterrent effect is definitely not as good as the black gunpowder."

In fact, Liu Bian also thought of black powder. After all, this thing is a consumable, as long as it is shown to them once, it will not leave any traces, and it is extremely confidential.

but
If it is replaced by the Shenyuan crossbow, it is equivalent to giving the other party a finished product. Although the military division alliance has installed small Luban locks for protection on some key parts and parts, but there are also people who are good at Mohists in Chang'an, so there is no guarantee that it will not be leaked. confidential.

"Follow filial piety."

Liu Bian turned his head to glance at Guo Jia, and said softly, "Are you urgent about this?"

Guo Jiayi bowed: "I can send someone to contact first, of course, it is best before Yuan Kai solves Dong Zhuo. If it is really impossible, we can only wait for Yuan Kai to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui."

"Is such that."

Liu Bian said very solemnly: "Currently, Taishitong is forging aluminum alloy, and will enter into the project of developing Fuhuo Leiting later. If this thing can be developed, it will definitely shock the world, but it will take time."

"Fuhuo Thunder?"

Guo Jia frowned subconsciously.

He is sure and sure, he has never heard of such a thing, but judging from the name alone, he can clearly feel its power. After all, fire and thunder are the two most powerful substances in nature, and now they are combined Get up, it is bound to be more prosperous.

"That's right!"

Liu Bian nodded slowly, and said extremely calmly: "Didn't you send information a while ago that Chang'an is researching a new type of city wall to defend against our army's crossbows?"

"Ah."

Guo Jia nodded: "That's right, it's true."

Liu Bian followed the words, and said softly: "I have considered this, and then sent people to develop Fuhuo Leiting. At that time, we will directly attack the city gate, blow it open, and send people to charge."

"Oh, right."

Speaking of this, Liu Bian got up and rushed to the side bookshelf to find out the relevant materials of black gunpowder: "This is the relevant materials of Fu Huo Lei Ting. You can understand what I mean after you read it briefly."

Guo Jia promised, took the materials with both hands, sat down to one side, and began to read. After a quick glance, Guo Jia was shocked, leaned back unconsciously, and took a breath.

"Your Majesty, this."

Guo Jia raised his head suddenly, and looked at Liu Bian in disbelief: "Human power can really control the flames of such terrifying energy? And it will also produce the effect of thunder?"

However.
Liu Bian's expression was extremely calm.

He just nodded calmly, and said casually: "Only in theory, there is indeed such a possibility, otherwise there would be no relevant records in Taoist classics."

"I just perfected it a little bit before I came up with this kind of formula. If it can be developed and swept the world, it will be no problem. Seeing it, Ma Teng and Han Sui will naturally believe that our Nanyang will definitely win."

"As for official titles and titles."

Liu Bian thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I will not promise easily, after all, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, if it is difficult to fulfill in the future, it is to make myself unhappy."

Guo Jiahun didn't care, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face, he kept nodding: "Your Majesty, if you can really create Fuhuo Leiting, how dare Ma Teng and Han Sui negotiate terms with the court?"

"They should be clear that the court is actively negotiating with them at this time, but is saving them, not begging them. A wise man should know how to make a choice."

"No rush!"

"I'm not in a hurry at all."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia breathed out and completely relaxed: "Your Majesty, you can order Tai Shitong to study the line of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and follow Yuan Kai's toss. It is also possible to defect."

"Hahaha!"

Guo Jia looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

This surprised Liu Bian. During the more than a year with Guo Jia, it was the first time he had seen Guo Jia lose his composure. Although Guo Jia always acted like a slut, he still remained respectful and behaved in front of the emperor. decent.

"Feng Xiao is really true"

Liu Bian was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

"His Majesty!"

Guo Jia got up quickly, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "This minister is too excited, it's out of style, I hope you can forgive me."

Liu Bian just smiled indifferently, waved his hands and said: "Guo Fengxiao has always been unrestrained, but always respectful in front of me, how can I not know your respect, how can I blame you."

"Get up."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to get up, and then asked, "According to what you want, let's ignore Ma Teng and Han Sui for the time being, right?"

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "In the direction of Chang'an, our manpower is limited. Naturally, I must concentrate my strength and do some urgent things to win more people with lofty ideals for Your Majesty."

"Although most of the Chang'an Han courts are officials from aristocratic families, it is undeniable that there are still many talented people who yearn for Nanyang, so they can naturally win over you, Your Majesty."

"for example."

Guo Jia said casually: "Since Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, many scholars have been looking for opportunities to assassinate. Yingchuan Xunyou joined forces with Yilang Zhengtai, Changshi He Yong, Shizhong Zhongji, and Yueqi School Captain Wu Qiong to conspire. Thorn Dong."

"In the end, because the matter was exposed, he was sent to prison. He Yong was afraid of committing suicide, but Xun You could speak and eat freely. This man is a genius, and he should fight for His Majesty."

"Xun You, servant of the Yellow Gate?"

How could Liu Bian forget this person.

Back then, when he was in Luoyang Palace, Liu Bian had a relationship with this person, but he never thought that after a hasty farewell, he would only hear this person's name again today.

"That's right!"

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "It is this person."

Liu Bian said softly: "Feng Xiao mentioned this person in front of me, but what do you think?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly: "It is true that nothing can be hidden from His Majesty. I do have some ideas. Now Chang'an's assassination system is being quickly established, but there is a lack of people who can truly stand alone."

"Xun You is knowledgeable, calm, and resourceful. I think he can be promoted to be the chief official of the Guanzhong District School Affairs Office, and he will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Guanzhong District."

"In addition, Xun You has a better understanding of the internal officials of the Han court in Chang'an, which is conducive to their actions. In the future, he will also be able to get in touch with Ma Teng and Han Sui, so as to facilitate rebellion."

Liu Bian had to admit that although Chang'an Hanting was a broken ship, there were indeed many talented people on board this broken ship, and Xun You was naturally one of them, as well as Jia Xu, the God of Gou whom he was thinking of.

If this old thing can be content with the status quo, he will definitely not rise to the top, and if Yuan Kai really kills Dong Zhuo and persuades the old department to surrender, in all likelihood, he will continue to fight.

Doesn't that mean.
To take refuge in Yuan Kui's arms again?
Dong Zhuo didn't know about Jia Xu's talent, but that didn't mean Yuan Wei didn't know about it. After all, Jia Xu came from a noble family, and as long as he traced back to the source, he could always find out.

Liu Bian never doubted that Yuan Wei had such abilities. Under his leadership, Chang'an Hanting would definitely be ten times, even a hundred times stronger than Dong Zhuo's time.

For these deterministic talents, it is better to find a solution in advance. Anyway, now that there are enough manpower, material resources, and financial support, it is a sure-fire deal to replace any one of them.

"Ah."

Liu Bian took the lead in affirming Guo Jia's thoughts: "Xun You, the servant of Huangmen, is indeed a talent. He is the first person you want to fight for, but I will add another person to you."

"Oh?"

Guo Jia couldn't help being curious: "I don't know who His Majesty is talking about?"

Liu Bian said softly: "His name is Jia Xu, he is from Wuwei Guzang, the son of Qingqi General Jia Gong, and his ancestor is Jia Yi, the Taifu of Changsha King in the Western Han Dynasty. The Wuwei Jia family can be called an orthodox Confucian rich family."

hiss-!
Guo Jia was surprised, and couldn't help gasping: "Jia Xu?"

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's this person."

Guo Jia frowned: "How come we never knew that Dong Zhuo had such family figures under his tent?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "Because Dong Zhuo doesn't know how to employ people, and he has a prejudice against the aristocratic family. In addition, he is too low-key, and he doesn't show himself, so few people know about it."

"This"

Guo Jia was therefore even more curious: "Then how did His Majesty know?"

When His Majesty the emperor was in Luoyang, he was a dragon in the pool, and after leaving Luoyang, he soared into the sky. How could he have the chance to meet the strange people under Dong Zhuo's tent?
Guo Jia asked himself, he had a very detailed understanding of the people on both sides of the enemy and us, if he hadn't even noticed the players, how would His Majesty know about them?
Today's Liu Bian speaks nonsense without hesitation, "Because he was an official in Luoyang in the early years, I was fortunate enough to hear his name, so my memory is still fresh."

"When this man resigned and returned to his hometown, there were even rumors that he was captured by the rebellious Di people. He even said that he was Duan Jiong's grandson, and told the Di people not to bury him, and his people would redeem him generously, so he escaped death. "

Guo Jiadun was amazed: "Oh? This person is a bit smart and bold."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "You can send someone to investigate this person, and you will naturally understand what I mean. It would be best if he can return to Nanyang. If not, he can't be acquired by Yuan Kai."

"Oh, right."

Speaking of this, Liu Bian added: "This person should not be in Chang'an at present, but under Duan Yao's tent in Huayin. If not, he is under Zhang Ji's tent from the same county."

Guo Jia bowed her body and cupped her hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can leave this matter to the minister."

Liu Bian simply hummed: "Then I will leave it to you to deal with it."

Guo Jia nodded: "Here."

*****
Sili, Chang'an.

At the end of the noisy street, a jeweled carriage drove slowly.

On the window seat on the third floor of the restaurant next to the street, Yuan Ji was staring at the endless flow of people on the street with his hands behind his back.

clatter!clatter!clatter!
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the restaurant, followed by a creak, someone entered the room, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said:
"The servant."

"how?"

Yuan Ji didn't look back, his eyes were still on the people outside the window, as if he hadn't felt the smoke and fire of Chang'an for a long time, how familiar it was.

"Cao Weizhan, Dong of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has entered Chang'an and is coming here. Our people are ready. The servant can rest assured that there will be no accidents."

Yuan Ji nodded affirmatively, and waved his hand to signal the man to leave.

He just turned around, sat down, sipped his tea, and waited quietly.

indeed.

He hadn't tasted the tea outside for a long time.

After all, everyone in Taifu's mansion is under Li Ru's control.

It's just that Li Ru is dead now, Dong Zhuo is starting to mess up, and there is no one in charge of the things he is responsible for.

Only then did Yuan Ji launch a counterattack, using some means to remove those eyes as much as possible.

Now, it has come to the most critical person, as long as he can be solved, then everything will not be a problem.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of horse honking outside the window.

Yuan Ji just got up, stood at the window, looked down at the carriage, nodded at the familiar figure, "Brother Wei, can you show me your face, let's come up and talk about it."

Wei Zhan pondered for a moment, seemed a bit embarrassed, but finally got out of the car, entered the restaurant, went straight up to the third floor, and came to sit quietly opposite Yuan Ji:
"Yuan Taipu is looking for someone to come here. What is the matter, you may as well say it bluntly. I am busy with business and have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to drink tea and chat with you."

Yuan Ji smiled lightly, filled Wei Zhan's tea, put down the teapot immediately, and said softly: "Brother Wei and Langzhong Li are good friends, now that he is gone, the burden on him is all on Brother Wei."

"Humph!"

Wei Zhan snorted softly, didn't take half a sip of the other party's tea, but said coldly: "Mr. Yuan, I'm not familiar with certain jobs, but I've heard a lot about recent events."

"Although the prime minister has moved into Meiwu, if I tell him about the Yuan family's affairs, I think the scene back then will definitely make the prime minister furious. What will happen to the Yuan family at that time, I think the servant should know."

How could Yuan Ji not be clear about this point, he was too aware of Dong Zhuo's hatred for the Yuan family, in the past with Li Ru around, Dong Zhuo could be restrained, but now that Li Ru is gone, Dong Zhuo has no scruples anymore.

He is a guy who doesn't think about the consequences of doing things. As for the evidence, he doesn't think about it at all, let alone care.

Yes!

Even though Li Ru was gone, the Yuan family still acted secretly, not too presumptuously.

This did not attract Dong Zhuo's attention, but he would still be replaced in the end, and felt the Yuan family's ambition: "Brother Wei is a smart man, he should be clear about the current situation."

"Chang'an is in Dong Zhuo's hands, it is impossible to win Nanyang, and a person like you will definitely end up in the same end as Li Ru. If this is the case, what's the point of following Dong Zhuo?"

Hearing this, Wei Zhanwen naturally understood Yuan Ji's intentions: "You want to instigate me? Tell me to keep quiet?"

Yuan Ji shook his head and said softly, "It shouldn't be an instigation, but a threat."

Wei Zhan snorted coldly: "I, Wei Zhan, am alone, but I am not afraid of threats."

"Oh?"

Yuan Ji smiled lightly, and asked a soul-level rhetorical question: "Really?"

Immediately.

Yuan Ji took out a square scarf and silk handkerchief from his pocket, with lotus and lotus seeds embroidered on the lower right corner, and a Chinese character Zhan.

Wei Zhan's complexion suddenly changed: "You...you actually"

Two fierce lights shot out from Yuan Ji's eyes: "I never imagined that brother Wei is actually an infatuated man, just a prostitute, and hooked your soul away?"

The anger in Wei Zhan's heart jumped up, his eyes stared like copper bells, and he gritted his teeth: "Yuan Ji, if you dare to touch her, I will let your Yuan family be buried with her!"

"rest assured!"

Yuan Ji threw the handkerchief to Wei Zhan, and said softly: "As long as you agree to cooperate with us, I guarantee that you won't hurt her at all, and if things come to fruition, wouldn't it be better to let the two of you go far away, find a secret place, and become a rich man?" it is good?"

"Dong Zhuoruo is still the old Dong Zhuo, not to mention you, even my Yuan family doesn't bother to move, but how is he now? He is obviously ready to enjoy his old age."

"The Han court in Nanyang is booming, and sooner or later it will kill Chang'an. If you die by then, how can you be in love with this woman? Don't you have the heart to let other men see her charm?"

Wei Zhan's eyes were lured away, and his heart was already a little moved.

No one knew Dong Zhuo's determination to show off better than him. It is true that following Dong Zhuo would not last long, but if he left like this without enough money, how could he embrace a beautiful woman?
Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so he is naturally loyal to him.

But what am I, Wei Zhan?
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, he is not as good as Li Ru, but a dog!

After pondering for a long time, Wei Zhan asked tentatively: "You really let me go? Instead of killing me?"

Yuan Ji smiled: "If Dong Zhuo is dead, what's the point of killing you or not? You can rest assured."

Wei Zhan said softly: "I want you to help her redeem her body first, and then leave with the money, otherwise it is impossible for me to cooperate."

Yuan Ji nodded: "Okay, you go back and wait for the news."

　Thank you [Gao Sturgeon] for the reward of 100 coins!
