Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 99 The Reef Emerges (2)
"Hey...is it another grand general, Cao Hong? You go out and tell him that I am drunk and lying on the bed, so it is inconvenient for us to see each other."

"Hmm... this guest is not the General Cao Hong who came here every day."

Hearing this, the wine glass in Jia Xu's hand trembled suddenly, her whole body trembled, and the slight drunkenness in her mind suddenly dissipated completely: Could it be that he is here?He really subdued himself and came to my humble house in Jia's mansion!Thinking of this, Jia Xu immediately put down his wine glass, straightened his body, and said slowly to the outside of the room: "Very good. I invite this distinguished guest surnamed Cao to wait in the living room first. I will meet you after I change clothes." .”

The living room of Jia's mansion is very simple, with an old couch, a few straw mats, and a screen.

Cao Cao was waiting in the living room with nothing to do, so he approached the screen, only to find that the original bright black paint bracket was covered with a layer of light dust - it seems that those school affairs and eyeliner reported to him No mistakes.Jia Xu has lived in seclusion in Xudu for so many years, she really kept her door closed and had no personal relationships, otherwise the things in the living room would not have been cleaned for such a long time.

Cao Cao looked at the thin gauze picture on the screen again, which depicted a portrait of a middle-aged Eguan scribe.With clear eyebrows and deep eyes, his appearance is extraordinary, his clothes are elegant, and he is not a bit of a majestic character.He leaned closer and took a closer look at the lower left corner. It was signed by Yang Jun, the servant of the Huangmen and the national player of Danqing: "the image of the famous prime minister Chen Ping" in the eighth year of Jian'an.

"Chen Ping?" Cao Cao looked at the portrait of Satu on the screen and smiled faintly.This Jia Xu keeps a low profile on the outside, but in his heart he has lofty aspirations - as expected, he secretly promises himself under the name of a generation, Chen Ping!However, with his strategy skills, he is indeed worthy of the reputation of "Chen Ping reborn"!I really hope that this "Chen Ping of the present age" can help the real minister to decide the battle of the Southern Expedition and win a big victory!

"Your Excellency, I have lost my way, and I hope you will forgive me." Jia Xu's never-warm voice came from the side door of the living room.

Cao Cao glanced sideways, only to see Jia Xu, who was slightly blushing, holding a volume of poetry in his hand, and was walking towards him step by step.He chuckled: "Master Jia is in a good mood, are you still drinking and reciting poems at this time of year?"

Jia Xu didn't answer immediately, but bowed and led Cao Cao to sit down on the old couch first, and then called Cao Ren, Xu Chu and others who came with Cao Cao to sit on the straw mat on the right side of the old couch. Finally, he knelt down on the straw mat opposite Cao Ren and Xu Chu.

"Jia was drinking a little wine just now to appreciate the "Poetry Collection of the Southern Expedition and Encouraging Army" sent by the Literary Department of the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Jia Xu opened the volume of poems in his hand and showed it to Cao Cao. He said with a faint smile, "Just when I read the praise of Chi Jie, the prime minister came here, and Jia was even more delighted."

"Oh? Which part of this collection of poems makes you, Mr. Jia, admire it?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed brightly.

"My lord, there are two places in this collection of poems that Jia admires. One is the "Welcome to the Good News Book of the Southern Expedition" written by refugees from Jingzhou on the title page of the collection. It is full of sincerity and sincerity towards Master Wang’s journey to the south.” Jia Xu talked with a smile on his face, “The other one is "Shu Zheng Fu" written by the eldest son Cao Pi..."

"Lord Jia, the "Welcome to the Southern Expedition Letter" written by the refugees in Jingzhou is a condensed form of the people's true feelings. Every sentence is sincere and amazing. It's true." Cao Cao abruptly interrupted Jia Xu's speech. He glanced at him at the words, "As for Zihuan's "Shu Zheng Fu", it's just a magnificent work for the occasion, Mr. Jia may be a little ridiculous!"

Praising his son in front of a father, the father must inevitably have to be humble.Jia Xu has long been familiar with this, and he will never be so stupid as to believe Cao Cao's modest words: "Oh! Your Excellency is too modest! The "Shu Zheng Fu" written by the eldest son is really sonorous and inspiring. People's hearts! Jia has always had a bad memory. Although he only read it twice, he still remembers this wonderful Fu clearly. Vivid imagination and passion——"In the 13th year of Jian'an, Jing Chu was proud and fuchen, and ordered Yuan Si to take a simple journey, and wished to fight for Nanye. The boron of the Faling drum is hidden, and the flag of Jianchang is fluttering; The glory of Jiazu, the browsing of tens of thousands of riders; the richness and benefits of Yang Kaiti, the spirit and martial arts of Qianqian; the revival of Yihuangqu, the completion of Weitianwang; passing through the old capital of Nanye, Let’s talk about the festival and accept it; follow the old traces of the past, return to the wind and grow long; the survivors of the Han Dynasty in Zhenjiang, the false descendants of Jingnanji.’ Lord Prime Minister, listen to it, what a passionate rhetoric it is. "

Cao Cao waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Just as Master Jia said, no matter how impassioned and impassioned Huan Qiang's rhetoric is, what's the use of it? If you want to use troops to conquer Jianghan, you have to rely on Master Jia." Wentao Wulue in my chest!"

Although he said so in his mouth, Cao Cao was still a little bit happy because Jia Xu praised Cao Pi's "Shu Zheng Fu".Suddenly, his heart moved gently like a wave of water, and a thought popped up uncontrollably: This time the Southern Expedition, why didn't Zhi'er write a poem or two to inspire the army and send it?His writing style is much more exquisite than that of Pi'er. If he wrote "Shu Zheng Fu", I'm afraid it will be recited by thousands of people and become a sensation, right?What a powerful momentum this should have created for Truth's Southern Expedition to Jingzhou, but why didn't he write it?
Here, Jia Xu still said to himself: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, underestimated the Eldest Prince's "Shu Zheng Fu". There is a wonderful theory in the ancient military tactics of 'the first sound and then the truth'. According to Jia, Once this article of Eldest Young Master spreads across the world, it will be worth a hundred thousand mighty masters."

Although Cao Cao knew that these words were flattering and flattering words, he didn't feel disgusted when he heard them from Jia Xu's mouth—on the contrary, he was secretly happy in his heart.Jia Xu praised Cao Pi's "Shu Zheng Fu" so earnestly, which clearly stated that he fully supported his southern expedition to Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt that it was time for him to get to the point of talking with Jia Xu today. He stroked his beard on his chest, coughed lightly, and cleared his throat.

Hearing his cough, Jia Xu, who had always been familiar with Cao Cao's details and habits, immediately stopped talking with great interest and waited for him to speak with a slight smile.

Sure enough, Cao Cao's voice sounded deep and solemn: "Jia Xu, the regular servant of Sanqi, received the order..."

Hearing his words, Jia Xu was startled for a moment, hurriedly left the straw mat, and bowed down in front of Cao Cao.Xu Chu and Cao Ren also got up from the table and knelt down behind him.

Cao Cao took out a roll of yellow silk from the sleeve of his robe, unfolded it lightly, and read slowly:

I have heard that fostering talents for the country and promoting talents for the people: Jia Xu, who used to be a regular servant of Sanqi, had a high aspiration and integrity, and obeyed others with virtue. He was specially promoted to the post of Taizhong doctor.

Jia Xu bowed to the ground and heard a "buzz" in his ears. It turned out that he was ordered by His Majesty to take over Kong Rong's position as the Taizhong doctor!Moreover, I don't know whether it was written by Cao Cao deliberately, or whether the emperor deliberately satirized himself, but this edict actually included two inappropriate comments for himself, "Aspirations are lofty, and virtue is subordinate to others!" It makes people laugh and cry.

But he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him: "My minister Jia Xu accepts the decree."

After Jia Xu collected the imperial edict and sat back on the straw mat, Cao Cao bowed his hands to him with a smile and said, "Master Jia...no, no, no, now it's time to change the name to 'Dr. Jia'. He was also a "Taizhong doctor", but he has a false reputation and is not flashy, which is not enough to be worthy of this noble position; and Dr. Jia, you have intrinsic virtue and talent, but you are not flashy, you should be this "Taizhong doctor" ’ Naturally, it deserves its name.”

Jia Xu leaned forward and bowed, and smiled wryly.Kong Rong's "Taizhong doctor" is famous all over the world for his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, but when this edict is issued today, who will I, the "Taizhong doctor" be famous for in the eyes of the people in the world for his loyalty?I'm afraid that if Cao Cao makes such a move, I will truly become his Cao's staff from now on.Cao Cao's move is completely blocking his hesitation between Han and Cao!However, with the current situation in Xudu, I am afraid that there is really no better way out other than relying on him.Among the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, besides the understanding of Lord Xun Ling and the tolerance of Monk Zhongzhengren, Yang Biao, Fu Wan, Wang Lang and other high officials of the Han Dynasty, who do not regard themselves as a thorn in their side?Forget it, forget it, the Han Dynasty has no special kindness to me, and I don't want to climb on this broken ship and cower in fear.

Cao Cao didn't seem to notice his strange expression of joy and sorrow, and laughed at him again: "The truth is, apart from congratulating Dr. Jia on his promotion to an important position, there is a mere warrant from the Prime Minister's House Read it out here -- I wonder if Dr. Jia will accept the order with honor?"

When Jia Xu heard this, she hurriedly straightened her clothes, got up and left the table and knelt down again.Cao Cao waved his hand at him, and said repeatedly: "No need! No need! Dr. Jia should just sit and listen to the truth read out the warrant."

Jia Xu declined his thanks, but even though he never knelt down, he still got up and listened with half bow and half bow.Sitting on the couch, Cao Cao took out a roll of red silk from the sleeve of his robe, and declared aloud: "When you enter the virtuous court, the truth is the most urgent thing. I have heard that Jia Xu, a doctor of the Taizhong, has amazing strategies, predicts things like a god, and makes plans Like a ghost, the whole world fears and subdues—the truth specially hired him as the military adviser of the Xiangfu, to assist the truth in the great cause of the southern expedition and wipe out the rebels!"

When Jia Xu heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, until he heard Cao Ren on the opposite table cough heavily, he seemed to come back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your kindness—Jia is extremely frightened! Why would Jia, He De, dare to accept this job? Your Excellency has Xun You, a military advisor who is extremely resourceful and resourceful, how dare Jia use his insignificance to make fun of his generosity? Please, Your Excellency, take back this order!"

"Mr. Jia! You are worthy of the important task of the military adviser of the Xiangfu, so don't be too humble!" Cao Cao waved his big hand and said proudly, "Xun Gongda is the right army adviser of the truth, and you are the right army adviser of the prime minister. Truth’s left military adviser——True Prime Minister hopes that with this post of military adviser in the Xiangfu, you, Dr. Jia, the “reincarnated Chen Ping”, will use your talents to the best of your abilities, and assist Truth in creating an earth-shattering career Come!"

After hearing the words, Jia Xu finally stopped talking nonsense, stepped forward to take the prime minister's warrant, held it in his hand and carefully read it several times, then turned his eyes to Cao Cao, looked at it for a long time, and then nodded slightly and smiled .

Cao Cao glanced at him, but still sat upright on the couch and asked, "What do you want to say at this moment, Dr. Jia?"

Jia Xu slowly rolled up the handkerchief, and said leisurely, "To tell you the truth, Prime Minister, Jia was indeed distracted for a while just now, and suddenly recalled the conversation between the two current heroes more than ten years ago... ..."
