Great Military Division

Chapter 361 Jia Xu: Listen to the truth, I advise you to resign and return home!

Tingwei Mansion.

Outside the prison door.

Gao Feng stood in the shade not far away, waiting quietly.

As expected, after killing Dong Zhuo, the Han court in Chang'an pardoned the world.

The news reached Tingwei Mansion that someone had already left the prison.

About a quarter of an hour.

A familiar figure came out of the prison.

Gao Feng smiled lightly, and rushed to meet him:

"Gongda."

Xun You raised his head, felt the light of the sun, and breathed out:

"Shiju, you're here."

"of course."

Gao Feng hurriedly took the clothes from Xun You's hands and carried them on his body: "Let's go, I've already settled down in Tianranju. First, I'm here to help you get rid of bad luck, and second, I'm going to give you a detailed report on recent events."

"Ah."

Xun You has been in prison for a long time, and he is no longer familiar with the situation in Chang'an: "I have to talk about it, let's go, I may not have a good meal for a long time."

Gao Feng hurriedly waved his hands: "Go, get in the car."

Xun You smiled lightly: "Okay."

Immediately, the two got into the carriage and went straight to Tianranju.

On the carriage, Gao Feng began to report: "Just as Gongda expected, after Yuan Kui killed Dong Zhuo, he recorded the affairs of the Shangshu as the Grand Tutor, and at the same time transferred Yuan Ji to the Shangshutai and served as the Shangshuling."

"Huang Wan, captain of Sili, was promoted to Sikong because of his meritorious service in killing Dong Zhuo. Fu Wan, who was a relative, was promoted to Zhijinwu. Sun Rui, a former Jinwu officer, became Wei Wei. The rest were promoted."

Xun You pinched the goatee under his jaw: "Sure enough, Yuan Wei is really an old fox. In this way, he can easily control the power of the court in his hands."

"Yes!"

Even Gao Feng himself couldn't help but be moved by his thunderous tactics: "To put it bluntly, Yuan Kui's ability is far better than Dong Zhuo's, and his control over the court is even stronger than Dong Zhuo's."

"If Dong Zhuo is a jackal, then Yuan Kai is a tiger and leopard!"

Speaking of this, Gao Feng's face was filled with a hint of gloom, and there was a ferocious breath in his voice: "Poor Your Majesty, you have just left the wolf's den, and now you have entered the tiger's den."

"It's still wise for our Majesty to resolutely give up attacking Chang'an at the beginning and choose to start over and form a court. Otherwise, even if we take Chang'an, we may not be able to get rid of the clutches of the Yuan family."

Xun You was also deeply touched by this point.

but
He didn't feel as emotional as Gao Feng did, but kept it in his heart and quickly moved on to the next topic: "Where's Wei Zhan?"

Hearing the word "Wei Zhan", the resentment in Gao Feng's heart suddenly hit the shore like a turbulent wave: "What else can I do? Of course he was assassinated by Yuan Kai, on the way he left Chang'an and rushed to Chen Cang."

Xun You frowned, and paused for a moment: "Although Wei Zhan is not as good as Li Ru, he is by no means mediocre. It is impossible for him to trust Yuan Kai, and maybe he will have someone behind him."

"You immediately organize your people to enter Hanzhong, looking for that seductive woman named 'A Li', maybe there will be some secrets about her."

"there must be."

Gao Feng agreed deeply and nodded in affirmation.

"Oh?"

Xun You frowned, as if realizing something: "Could it be that Yuan Kai's people are also looking for her?"

The anger on Gao Feng's face grew even stronger: "I heard that people from the Yuan family found half of the book on Wei Zhan's body, and the other half of the book must be on the woman's body."

"Book?"

Xun You was startled.

"Ah."

Gao Feng nodded: "According to the information provided by Li Ru, he has been investigating the Yuan family to find evidence of his crime, so he recorded all the contents in a book called "Yuan Shilu"."

"Our people have searched for this book, but there is no trace. It must have been taken away by Wei Zhan, and he divided the contents into two halves to protect himself. Unexpectedly, he was brutally murdered."

Xun You was a little confused: "Evidence of Yuan's crime?"

Gao Feng hummed, and took out a letter from his bosom: "Gongda, this is what happened, please take a closer look."

Xun You took the letter and opened it to browse: "Ah? Could the culprit be the Yuan family?"

Gao Feng said softly: "Judging from the evidence we have so far, it all points to the Yuan family. Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is very possible that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Yuan family."

"Damn!"

Xun You only felt a chill on his back, and his pores were all open: "If the Yuan family is really behind the scenes, their real purpose is definitely not to control the government, but to seek to usurp the throne."

"That's right!"

Gao Feng was also aware of this point: "From his status as the Grand Tutor, since he recorded the affairs of the Minister, it seems that all the means have been planned."

"It is clear!"

Gao Feng was sure and affirmed: "Yuan Kui had premeditated control of the court, otherwise, how could he act so vigorously? You have to know how long Li Rucai was arrested. They plan to assassinate Dong, and time is already tight. How can they have time to consider assassinating Dong? afterward."

Xun You had to admit that what Gao Feng said was very reasonable.

Assassination is a very strict plan that absolutely cannot be missed.

Therefore, Yuan Kai and others are bound to repeat the deduction to win over people with lofty ideals and benevolent people to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Since this is the case, they have no chance to think about the future affairs of the governor, but now they can achieve perfection within two or three days, without leaking water. How can it be done without planning in advance.

This is enough to prove that Yuan's ambition has been around for a long time.

Now, Dong Zhuo was killed as the chief of all evils, and he succeeded in making the Yuan family fall into power.

Xun You couldn't imagine that if there was no Hanting in Nanyang in this world, Yuan Kai, an old fox, would soon be preparing to be the prince of Jin, claiming to be a widow, and then planning to usurp the throne.

"so."

Xun You made a decisive decision and ordered: "Report this matter to Nanyang quickly, let them find a way to deal with it, try to get the half volume of the book, and see if you can find any clues."

"Ah."

Gao Feng nodded: "Don't worry, Gongda, just leave it to me."

Xun You then said, "Is there any news in the direction of Wuguan and Hanguguan?"

Gao Feng replied: "Fan Chou of Hangu Pass has already decided to submit to the imperial court, and he was granted the title of marquis, promoted to be a young mansion, and entered the court as an official. I think he will take up his post soon."

"As for Wuguan."

Speaking of this, Gao Feng shook his head: "I haven't got any definite news yet, but thinking about it, it should be the same. As usual, it's the routine of going up and down and depriving the military of power."

"For these old officials of Dong Zhuo, it is a blessing to be able to save their lives, not to mention being able to be an official and a marquis, they should be content."

"Humph!"

Xun You snorted softly, and said disdainfully, "Do you think Yuan Kai will really let them go?"

Gao Feng frowned: "What does Gongda mean, will he end up the same as Wei Zhan?"

Xun You was very sure of this: "Without military power, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others are just like ordinary people. To kill them, you only need to send an assassin. It's as easy as pie."

"But."

Gao Feng still couldn't believe it: "Yuan Wei really dared to do that?"

Xun You didn't take it seriously: "The whole court is full of Yuan Kai's people. Even if Fan Chou and others enter the court, what can they do? It's just a matter of procrastinating a little longer and looking for a chance to do it."

"If this group of people leave the army, they will die sooner or later. Yuan Wei is absolutely not allowed. There are hidden dangers like them, and more positions are vacant, which is his way to win over the aristocratic family."

Gao Feng nodded slowly: "It makes sense!"

"Oh, right."

Xun You suddenly remembered something, and tried to ask, "How are Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

Gao Feng sighed, and said softly, "Do you know who the warrior who assassinated Dong Zhuo was?"

Xun You frowned: "Could it be?"

"Ah."

Gao Feng nodded: "It is Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and Yan Xing, the son-in-law of Han Sui. Now the people in Chang'an City call them heroes, and Yuan Kai also specially rewarded them."

"Promote Ma Teng as General Fubo, restore his ancestor's title as Marquis of Xinxi, promote Han Sui as General Wumeng, bestow Marquis of Jincheng as Marquis of Jincheng, and confer the title of marquis and worship general, all of which have been used."

"Let me tell you"

After all, Gao Feng shook his head and said softly: "Ma Teng and Han Sui must have defected to Chang'an, and judging from the current situation, they seem to have no other choice."

Xun You pinched a goatee beard under his jaw, but he had a different opinion: "Yuan Kui promoted Ma Teng and Han Sui, but why did he promote Ma Chao and Yan as heroes?"

"This"

Gao Feng said softly: "Should it be to win over?"

Xun You shook his head: "Winning Ma Teng and Han Sui is tantamount to wooing Ma Chao and Yan Xing. Yuan Kai would never do this on purpose. He probably has a deeper meaning in doing so."

"Oh?"

Gao Feng couldn't help being curious: "Please also ask Gongda, don't hesitate to enlighten me."

Xun You paused for a moment, and tried to answer: "Perhaps Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't agree at the time. Yuan Kai's fundamental purpose of publicizing Ma Chao and Yan Xing so much was to tell us that Ma Teng and Han Sui are already his people."

hiss-!
Gao Feng was surprised, and gasped: "Yuan Kai knows that we are also trying to win over Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

Xun You said softly: "Why don't you know this? He must know, but the more he behaves like this, the more he exposes himself and fails to win over Ma Teng and Han Sui."

"Humph!"

With a soft snort, Xun You seemed to have seen through everything: "Shiju, you continue to send people to discuss with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and at the same time communicate with Guo Jia, the school affairs office. It is best to get something of weight."

Gao Feng didn't quite understand: "Something with weight?"

Xun You nodded: "Once Yuan Kai has mastered Chang'an, he will inevitably expand outward quickly and rush to Bingzhou. Hasn't Zhang Liao been stationed in Heluo for more than a year? It's time to get out of the sheath."

"Niu Fu in Shan County is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Even if Duan Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou all surrender, he will not be able to surrender. This may be our breakthrough."

Gao Feng's eyes brightened, and he suddenly became enlightened: "Gongda is really powerful. This is indeed a good plan to defeat the enemy. If Zhang Liao can enter Bingzhou, it will be like a blow to Yuan Kai. It will be beneficial to our actions and will not cause any harm. .”

"Yes."

Xun You said softly, "That's exactly what I mean."

Gao Feng cupped his hands: "I admire you."

Xun You interrupted with a wave of his hand, and took a long breath: "Besides, it may not be long before the Chang'an Hanting will enlist me as an official in the court. Since His Majesty ordered me to stay in Chang'an, I can hide my identity in this way. Let's get in touch."

Gao Feng was not stupid, so he naturally expected it: "Though you failed to assassinate Dong, it was a righteous act after all. It is possible for the Han court in Chang'an to conscript you into the imperial court as an official."

"it is good."

Although a bit regretful, Gao Feng still nodded: "Since that's the case, I will follow Gongda's instructions, and we will try our best to communicate through one line in the future, so that your lurking will not be affected."

******
Wuguan.

Zhang Ji Barracks.

Central Army, big tent.

Holding the imperial edict of Chang'an Hanting, Zhang Ji felt very uncomfortable.

Although the imperial court leniented them and even conferred the title of marquis and promoted him to an official position, Zhang Ji always felt chilly and uncomfortable, as if a steel knife was hanging above his head, which might fall down at any time and kill him Same.

"military adviser."

Zhang Ji turned his head to look at Jia Xu who was on the side, and said with a frown, "Do you think I can accept this edict or not? Now that the prime minister is dead, and Fan Chou, Duan Yan and others have surrendered to the imperial court, should I also accept it?" Want to be like them?"

Jia Xu frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Does the general want to hear the truth, or lies?"

Zhang Ji said without hesitation: "Of course it is the truth."

Jia Xu breathed out without hesitation: "If the truth is true, I suggest that the general resign and return to Guzang to retire. Don't be obsessed with official positions in the court. No general can survive there."

"Resign?"

Zhang Ji was obviously taken aback.

Letting go of Jiuqing's official position, but resigning?

Zhang Ji simply wondered if Jia Xu was trying to trick him on purpose.

Of course, such words cannot be said casually, so Zhang Ji just waved his hand: "I'll think about it better, now that the general situation is set, I'm afraid we can only submit to the imperial court."

Jia Xu didn't say anything more, he already knew Zhang Ji's answer.

After the political discussion was over, Jia Xu returned to his side tent and continued to read books.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu came to the military tent and said, "Military division."

Jia Xu put down the scroll: "So it's General Zhang, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang Xiu frowned, and looked at Jia Xu with great interest: "Military Master, did you expect something to happen in Chang'an? Why were you not shocked at all when you heard the news today?"

"This"

Jia Xu shrugged and responded casually: "What did General Zhang say? How could I expect such a big event to happen in Chang'an? It's just that I'm old, so this is the reason."

"lie!"

Zhang Xiu interrupted without hesitation, and stared at Jia Xu with burning eyes: "Military Master, we are from the same country. When you took refuge in us, it was because you were from the same country. Couldn't you be more sincere to us?"

Jia Xu sighed, and said helplessly, "General Zhang, I'm already very sincere, it's the path that Uncle Ling chose, and I can't do anything about it."

Back then, when Jia Xu was still under Duan Yan's tent, he was often jealous by him, knowing that the other party could not tolerate her, so she had no choice but to leave and turned to Zhang Ji's tent.

And it was precisely because Jia Xu was from Guzang that Zhang Ji kept him in his tent as a military adviser, but after all, Jia Xu didn't have any credit, and Zhang Ji didn't take him seriously.

However.
For Jia Xu to be able to persuade Zhang Ji to resign, in his own eyes, it is considered as the best of humanity. If it is an ordinary person, he would even pretend to be stupid and would never participate.

After all, the position of Sangong is not easy to do. For Jia Xu, the position of long history and offering sacrifices to wine is too simple. Where can I do it? Nah.

For Jia Xu, as long as he can make a living, he doesn't dare to be interested in high-ranking officials, high salaries, generals and marquises. The fame and fortune in the troubled times are all fleeting, and there is nothing worth nostalgic about.

However, such a state of mind is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. They can only see the glory of high officials and rich salary, but they will never understand that there are thousands of needles on that position, which can hurt people!

"Then you can tell me."

Zhang Xiu approached him and asked tentatively, "Why did you let my uncle resign and return to his hometown? How can Chang'an and Luoyang be so prosperous in that shabby place? Don't say it's him, it's me." They don't want to go back."

"This"

Jia Xu was a little embarrassed: "You really want to know?"

Zhang Xiu nodded: "Of course I want to know."

"Ok."

Jia Xu pondered for a long time, and finally said with certainty: "For the sake of these books, I will tell you."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "I would like to hear the details."

Jia Xu said softly: "Although the imperial court issued an edict, it only punishes the first and the worst, and never sits down, but what he really fears is only the soldiers and horses in our hands, and it is definitely not true benevolence, righteousness and charity."

"Yuan Kui is very clear that Nanyang is currently the main enemy of Chang'an. If Dong Zhuo is killed and Chang'an falls into chaos, wouldn't it be cheaper for Nanyang?"

"It is precisely because of this that the imperial court issued such an edict, promising high officials and generous salaries, even rewarding the Marquis. Its real purpose is to make General Zhang give up his military power and enter the prison."

"what?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned when he heard the words: "How is this possible?"

Jia Xu remained calm: "Little General Zhang, you are still young and don't understand the power of the emperor. People who come from the army have always been aboveboard, and you can't play those dark tricks."

"As for General Zhang, if he abandons his military power and enters Chang'an, although it may look beautiful on the surface, in fact, how can poor people be allowed to enter the circle of the world, and General Zhang will be isolated in a short time."

"Of course!"

Jia Xu paused for a moment, and continued: "This is just the beginning. Once the time gets longer, General Zhang will still occupy a high position. For Yuan Kai, it will be an obstacle."

"With his means, as long as he uses a little bit of tricks on you, he can bring you down for crimes such as dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty, and even put you in prison and die miserably."

A thin layer of sweat oozes from Zhang Xiu's forehead: "No way? That's the official position of Jiuqing, how can it be so casual? Besides, the uncle's ability should not be weak, how can he handle it casually."

"Ah."

Jia Xu didn't refute, just smiled: "General Zhang's ability is indeed good, but certain things cannot be done by one person alone, but as long as there is a mistake in one link, the blame will naturally fall on General Zhang."

"When Yuan Kai needs you to give way, he will naturally find a way to knock you out. General Zhang was born in the army, has no family background, and holds a high position. How can Yuan Kai be compatible!"

"so."

Jia Xu returned to the topic and said solemnly: "I will let General Zhang resign and return to his hometown. At least he will have the status of a marquis, get some food, and enjoy his old age. Naturally, there is no problem."

hiss-!
Zhang Xiu's heart was shocked, and he took a sharp breath: "In this way, Chang'an is really a trap, otherwise, let's rebel, how about taking refuge in Nanyang?"

Jia Xu smiled: "It's good to take refuge in Nanyang, but will Uncle Ling agree?"

Zhang Xiu felt melancholy: "This is really a problem. Even if my uncle agrees, I'm afraid Nanyang may not accept it."

Jia Xu said softly: "If Uncle Ling agrees, Nanyang will definitely accept it. Although Uncle Ling won't worship generals and marquises, and he doesn't have high-ranking officials and rich salary, but it will definitely be no problem to maintain the current level."

"of course."

Jia Xu added: "The army will definitely not be able to keep it. This is the consistent practice of His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang. Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Li Min and others are all like this."

"However, judging from the current situation of these people, it is indeed better than Ling Shu's defection to Chang'an Hanting. His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang does not care about his family background, but only his ability. If General Zhang goes, he may be a wolf general. "

"Hahaha."

Jia Xu looked up to the sky and laughed.

It's a pity that Zhang Xiu's face is already full of sorrow at this moment, and he can't laugh at all: "No! I have to go to my uncle once, and I can't make him give up the army. Absolutely not."

"Little Zhang."

Before the words finished, Zhang Xiu left the military tent.

Jia Xu just sighed, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, Zhang Ji will not agree. He would rather believe in Chang'an than in Nanyang."

After all, Zhang Ji had been an enemy of Nanyang before, and he was also the Nanyang emperor deposed by Dong Zhuo. Now, to Zhang Ji, taking refuge in the Nanyang emperor is no different from throwing himself into a trap.

Put down the scroll.

Jia Xu frowned, lost in thought.

Zhang Ji is naturally a dead end, but what can he do?
Now, Zhang Ji is from the same town as himself, if another person is the general, might he be able to accommodate him?

"Report—!"

Just as Jia Xu fell into deep thought, there was an announcement outside the tent.

Jia Xu looked up.

But I saw that my own soldiers hurriedly entered the account, bowed their bodies and cupped their hands: "Military division, there is someone outside who claims to be a fellow military division, and came to pay a visit."

Jia Xu frowned, and couldn't help being surprised: "Oh? My fellow countryman?"

The soldier nodded affirmatively: "Yes, exactly."

"Let him in."

"Here."

Soon.

A man in black shawl and hair tied with a soap towel came to the tent, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My next Guzang Zhang Quan, I have seen the military advisor."

"Zhang Quan?"

Jia Xu looked at the other party with interest: "Sorry, Jia doesn't know you."

Zhang Quan smiled: "Although the military adviser doesn't know me, the head of my family does know you, and he asked me to come here to invite you. I hope you can come home with me."

hiss-!
Jia Xu frowned slightly, and could hear something in the other party's words.

However, the man took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over: "Military Master, this is a letter from my Patriarch."

Jia Xu took the paper letterhead and started browsing.

really.

This person's identity is unusual, he was actually the assassin of Nanyang Hanting in Chang'an.

Jia Xu forced himself to be calm, and raised his eyes to look at the other party: "Unexpectedly, you and the other Patriarch moved quite quickly, but is he thinking about me, or the thousands of soldiers and horses in Wuguan?"

Zhang Quan bowed: "To be honest, we started looking for you as early as half a month ago. We started from Huayin Duan Yao, and even went to Chang'an. It was only a coincidence that we finally arrived here."
