The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 599 The Poison Comes
On the head of Guandu City, the big flag embroidered with the word "Cao" slowly fell from the flagpole, and the big flag inlaid with the gold character "Yuan" was slowly raised on the Tucheng of Guandu, although it has not yet marched into Xuchang , but Cao Zhi's complete surrender represented the end of one era and the beginning of another.

Cao Jun surrendered to Yuan Shang under the leadership of Cao Zhi. For Yuan Shang, this is of course a great joy. The merger of Yuan Cao will represent the complete rule of the northern land under the Yuan family, but the joy is only a moment. The following trivial matters will keep Yuan Shang busy and anxious for a while.

First of all, Cao's territory in Zhongzhou is not smaller than that of Hebei in terms of area. In fact, its territory is much larger than the four states of Hebei.In the current battle, although Cao Zhi has led the main force of the Cao army to surrender, the local forces are fragmented, and the prefectures, counties, and counties are not convinced by Yuan Shang's jurisdiction. That is to say, and there are at least hundreds of local prefects and county magistrates. Even if they have two intentions and do not reveal them on the surface, it is impossible for Yuan Shang to replace them one by one. Impact.

Of course, the armed forces of local counties and counties can’t have any influence on the powerful Yuan Jun in essence, nor can they shake the trend of northern unification. It’s just that Yuan Shang is a little helpless about this situation now, neither fighting nor not fighting, but If you want to regain his heart one by one, you don't know how long it will take, so now Yuan Shang is having a headache.

Fighting and fighting, playing tricks, playing tricks, Yuan Shang may be the best in the world today, but when it comes to strict political practice, although he has some skills, he is far behind the world's top figures.

In addition, the war in Zhongzhou continued, causing a lot of wear and tear, and the people were displaced. Rebuilding the people's livelihood is also a top priority. If you want to reorganize the people's livelihood, there is not one thing that can be missing, such as food, grass, money, and materials.

After Cao Zhi surrendered in Guandu City, Yuan Shang first temporarily arranged Cao's soldiers and generals, and then immediately called Tian Feng, Jushou, and others to discuss how to appease the local and county forces in Zhongzhou. Unstable factors among the surrendered Cao's main force, such as Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others.

For the first time, Tian Feng and Pang Ji had the same opinion. Both of them believed that it was best to eliminate all Cao Jun figures who were hostile to Yuan Shang, so as to reduce troubles and variables, especially Cao Ren. Pang Ji said that Cao Hong had just died. Although Cao Ren followed Cao Zhi and surrendered to Yuan Shang, from the way he looked at Yuan Shang, Pang Ji could definitely see the deep hostility.

Regarding Tian Feng and Pang Ji's statement, Ju Shou thinks it is inappropriate. Anyway, the Cao family has just surrendered. Even if they were enemies before, they are now their own people. If we clean up the generals now, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the people in the world. Who dares to surrender in the future?

In particular, Li Dian and Le Jin are now leading the remnants in Fu County to resist stubbornly. Cao Zhi has already promised to send someone to say surrender. If he kills a disobedient general like Cao Ren at this time, let alone Li Dian and Le Jin I am afraid that the garrison generals in many places will immediately rebel, and the situation will be unimaginable.

Tian Feng disagreed with Jushou's statement. This old stubborn donkey has always been tough enough. Hearing Jushou's scruples, Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Because the Cao family represented by Cao Zhi has surrendered, all the generals of the Cao family have surrendered." They should all be Yuan's subordinates. At this time, whoever dares to have two hearts or disrespect the lord is tantamount to treason, no doubt treachery, infidelity and unrighteousness, and is punished according to military regulations. If you dare to make irresponsible remarks about this, just dig it out and get rid of it.”

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Ju Shou's brows frowned into pimples. What Tian Feng said was correct and reasonable, but what he did was too cruel.

The north has just been unified, the people's livelihood in Henan is dying, and Cao Zhi is the one who voluntarily surrendered, so people's hearts are already floating. If Tian Feng said this, I don't know how many people will be killed, and blood will flow like a river again.

Thinking of this, Ju Shou turned to look at Yuan Shang in embarrassment.

Yuan Shang touched his chin, hesitating in his heart.

In all honesty, Yuan Shang is not a benevolent woman. When it is time to eradicate the enemy, he will definitely eradicate them. However, he does not want to do this to the generals of the Cao family. Although the two sides have deep prejudices, but After all, there are many available talents among them, and Cao Pi has just led some of the Cao clan's relatives to abandon the land. At this moment, the sudden massacre will easily cause mutiny and increase the number of people who imitate Cao Pi, which is really not advisable.

Just when Yuan Shang hesitated, the guards outside the tent reported that it was Jia Xu asking to see Yuan Shang.

When the poisonous warrior came, Yuan Shang couldn't help being a little surprised. Now that Cao's army has just surrendered, all the generals have been resettled. Most of them are anxious and watching Yuan Shang's actions quietly, but Jia Xu is the only one who came to see him on his own initiative.

Yuan Shang thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

When I was young, I saw Jia Xu walking slowly into the camp with a walking stick. Although he was old, he looked really good, at least he looked more energetic than Cao Zhi.

"The surrendered minister, Jia Xu, has met the Great General Sima."

When Yuan Shang saw Jia Xu, his heart trembled.

The famous poisoner, one of the best wise men in the world, has surrendered to his subordinates from today, what an exciting thing this is!
However, Yuan Shang is still not sure whether Jia Xu can really be used by him, even though he has surrendered with Cao Zhi in name...

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang said to Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Pang Ji: "The three gentlemen go out first, and I will talk to Dr. Jia alone."

The three of them did not dare to have any objections, and immediately handed over their hands and withdrew from the handsome tent.

After the three of them left, Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Doctor Jia and I are old acquaintances. Although we are not familiar with each other, we have met several times. From now on, you and I will work together! At that time, there will be more Doctor Lauja is worried."

Regarding Yuan Shang's naked recruitment, Jia Xu's face showed neither joy nor disgust, it was just so faint, cute, quiet in the ancient well, half asleep and half awake, making it impossible to see that it was a face of a living person.

"Thank you, General, for your respect, I will do my best."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said, "What is the business of Dr. Jia coming here today?"

Jia Xu said straight to the point: "I am here today to help the general relieve his worries."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shang looked at Jia Xu playfully for a while, then smiled leisurely, and said, "As far as I know, Doctor Jia hasn't conspired for Cao Zhi for many years since I defeated me in the battle of Guandong East. I've made a plan, and those who don't know, I thought you, Dr. Jia, are demented and your IQ is deteriorating, why is it that after so many years, Fang is willing to share my worries as soon as he works?"

Having said that, Yuan Shang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is it because you, Dr. Jia, have cured your dementia?"

When Jia Xu heard this, she said without blushing and heartbeat: "During this time, the old man has never planned to deal with the general for the prime minister. Injury, it is necessary to damage several powerful generals under the general's command. I don't want to do that."

"Oh!" Yuan Shangda nodded, and suddenly realized: "Doctor Jia thinks that Cao Zhi will definitely not be able to defeat me in the end, and you will follow him to serve me sooner or later, and you don't want to offend me, so in recent years, you have not designed for Cao Zhi. Yes, is it?"

"Correct."

At this point, Yuan Shang's face darkened, and he said: "As a minister, if you are not loyal to the Lord or righteous to the Lord, such a selfish old fox like you, what use is it for me to have you?"

Yuan Shang's words suddenly turned cold, but Jia Xu was happy and unafraid, just stood there, looking at him with a calm face, his eyes were deep, and he could hardly see the bottom.

"If the general is unwilling to use the old man, please allow the old man to retire and return to his hometown."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and said: "You can see it openly. If you say go, go, if you say stay, let go."

Jia Xu heard the words and said indifferently: "Because I am not greedy. I live in this world, I don't seek fame and wealth, I don't want to be successful, I just want to survive, food and clothing, that's all."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, and said: "The general just said that as a minister, I am not loyal to the Lord, not righteous to the Lord, selfish... the word selfishness, the old man admits, But the name of infidelity is a bit big, please forgive me for a few rebuttals... This old man is alive, although he has changed masters many times, he has never harmed a master. No more, this old man thinks it should be, because every master of the old man, the old man has never asked them to give me a lot of officials, multiple rewards, just ask for food and clothing, and the old man has set up for each lord. The benefit to them is far beyond what this food and clothing can compare."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said: "You mean, when you make plans for others, the strategy is directly proportional to the income?"

Jia Xu said calmly: "I have never heard of the general's words, but I can understand the general meaning, which is almost the meaning."

Yuan Shang was silent for a while, and said: "Then I will give you food and clothing, and give you safety. Can you give me advice?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then I'll give you fame and fortune, can you give me more advice?"

"If you force it, the old man doesn't need it, but he can still be disrespectful."

Yuan Shang smiled helplessly when he heard the words, secretly thinking what a cunning old fox.To be his lord for long, one must remain invincible forever.

But, what is worth resting is that, as the old fox said, although he changed masters frequently, he never harmed his master, which is really rare.

Perhaps, this is his way of survival, the way of being a human being.

After being silent for a while, Yuan Shang suddenly said: "Doctor Jia, you came here today to relieve my worries."

"This old man is here to help the general solve how to stabilize the local counties and counties in Zhongzhou and the generals of the Cao family. This old man knows that the way to kill is not what the general wants."
