Xiaoguangong

Chapter 251 Iron Loyal Minister Jia Xu

Yang Xiu is not a person who is very good at restraining his emotions. After hearing that Chang Diao gave up the Weishui defense line for nothing, he was overjoyed. Although he had slapped himself a few times before coming to see Cao Cao, he couldn't help the corners of his mouth slightly while speaking. Ascending, the joy in my heart bursts out from the inside out.

Cao Cao had read countless people, so Yang Xiu's little thoughts were naturally frozen in an instant.

Before Cao Cao ruled the north in name, his prestige was second to none. All his opponents had to behave with their tails between their legs, wandering back and forth between the Hanchens and the Cao family officials, forced to obey Cao Cao's terrifying prestige and did not dare to resist in the slightest.

But it's different now.

Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, and now he has lost the entire Guanzhong, this will definitely deal a severe blow to Cao Cao's reputation, and Yang Xiu can control more people in his hands.

Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao, is a great contemporary Confucianist, and his mother is Yuan Shu's daughter. It can be said that he came from an extremely noble family, and he was born with a lot of resources.

Although he has a bad relationship with Cao Pi, he is close friends with Cao Zhi.

Now that Cao Cao's prestige has been greatly damaged, Cao Pi will be difficult to convince the public. Yang Xiu can use his strong political influence to elect Cao Zhi, and then use the strong influence of the Yang family in Guanzhong to repair with Ma Chao and Han Sui, and then use Yang Biao Hanchen's identity to fight with Liu Bei, Sun Quan repaired it well, and everyone worshiped Emperor Han in name, but in fact they split the earth, just like the emperor of Zhou who ruled with his arch. As an important link to balance the relationship between the princes, the Yang family will instantly stand out and become the object of the world's vying to please.

It wouldn't be beautiful to let poor men like Yun Shan and Chang Diao ride on his head.

In Cao Cao's heart, there was a severe pain of despair. Before he defeated Yuan Shao to control Guanzhong, he thought that the world could be settled.

Han Sui and Ma Chao were not considered to be very talented opponents. Cao Cao thought that as long as he attacked, he would be able to quell the chaos in an instant.

But this time, not only did he not succeed, but he was hit hard again like Chibi.

Even though he has weathered many storms, he doesn't know what to do at the moment.

But at this moment, a gloomy laugh suddenly sounded behind Yang Xiu who was full of ambition:
"How can you speculate on the use of soldiers by Chang Junshi at will? De Zuxiu is going to talk nonsense."

Yang Xiu turned around in surprise, and what was even more surprising was that he saw Jia Xu bending over, smiling with crooked eyebrows, and walking slowly into the tent.

"What do you want to say?"

A person like Jia Xu is not worthy of Yang Xiu calling him fair. Yang Xiu just wondered why Jia Xu, who is usually wise and protective of himself, would show up without notification, and even dared to refute himself in person.

He took a step back, only to find a tall and burly figure at the tent door, standing with his back to the tent door, his right hand was slowly pressed on the hilt of his sword, it was Cao Cao's most trusted Xiahou Dun.

Jia Xu stood with his hands behind his back, with a confident smile on his face, and said slowly in a calm voice:
"Back when the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, there were constant suspicions. Han Sui and Ma Chao originally attacked each other. Now they actually lead the coalition forces, but they are only seeking their own death.

General Youyun is in Chang'an, cutting off the retreat of the thieves, and the Chang army division is going to wipe out Han Sui and Ma Chao in one fell swoop. The magic of his use of troops... Hehe, it's not Dezu who can speculate. "

Jia Xu was the main promoter of Cao Cao's battle in Guanzhong. Strictly speaking, his judgment in this battle was correct. If it wasn't for Cao Cao's physical problems, Ma Chao, who had been teased for a while, would have been blocked at all. Can't stand Cao Jun's follow-up offensive.

But if you lose, you lose. Jia Xu has been playing it safe these days, never daring to say a word, but this time he came here in person and publicly accused Yang Xiu of making mistakes. This is clearly...

Show your attitude!
Beads of sweat kept sliding down Yang Xiu's forehead, but he firmly believed in his own judgment, and said coldly:
"Doctor Jia said that Yang's military status is inaccurate?"

"No, no, no." Jia Xu smiled and said, "I never doubted the military situation of the school, after all, the military division Chang made great efforts before, and the story of Ma Chao crossing the Wei River is absolutely true!

Just because Ma Chao crossed the Wei River, the crime of the military division Chang was punished. How is this different from Yuan Shao back then? "

Jia Xu changed his low-key attitude in the past, and today he speaks with a stronger voice, frequently targeting Yang Xiu, and repeatedly raising Chang Diao's status, which makes Yang Xiu even more vigilant.

"Doctor Jia is also familiar with the art of war, please teach me, Doctor Chang, why did Military Division Chang allow Ma Chao to cross the Wei River?

Ma Chao is not good at water warfare, but as long as the Guanzhong army crosses the river, they will definitely launch a fierce attack. Even if our army is strong, wouldn't it be in vain to increase casualties?
Master Chang is clearly playing with the lives of all the soldiers in the army, so what's wrong with me asking the prime minister to punish him? "

Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi with a smile, and nodded slowly at him. Cao Pi's heart warmed and he couldn't help but get excited.

He knew that Jia Xu had always been unwilling to express his attitude, but once he expressed his attitude, it meant that the overall situation was settled, and he was now striving for huge benefits for his future.

Yang Xiu and his younger brother Zijian have always been friends, and Jia Xu is his supporter. Jia Xu is so against Yang Xiu, which shows...that he is finally going to win.

"I'm afraid Dezu didn't know that Guanzhong has been in great chaos for a long time, and the people are in dire straits..."

"Why didn't I know?" Yang Xiu retorted and said aggressively, "I also know that Dr. Jia contributed a lot to the chaos in Guanzhong."

Offender Chang'an Li Jue listened to Jia Xu.

Because of Jia Xu's words, Li Jue and Guo Si made troubles in Guanzhong, killed Wang Yun and hijacked the emperor, and made all the old officials including Yang Biao suffer all kinds of insults, which indirectly caused the big man to become what he is now.

Yang Xiu already hated Jia Xu to the core, but now that this guy dared to come up to him to mock him, he would scold him back no matter what.

This incident was originally a major stain in Jia Xu's life, and Jia Xu's expression must have changed drastically when others mentioned it a little.

But this time, he just twitched the corner of his mouth, and that old face soon became full of spring again.

"Yes, it was the old man's fault before.

So this time Guanzhong will be decided, and I can't bear to let Dezu spoil this matter. "

He bowed down to Cao Cao and Cao Pi, and said softly:
"Prime Minister, this old man also received a message.

The old man heard that Chang Junjun won a complete victory by the Yellow River, Han Sui and Ma Chao only escaped, Yang Qiu surrendered, more than half of the Guanzhong rebels were killed, except for less than ten thousand people who fled to the Qiang and Hu tribes, the rest surrendered.

For more than ten years, the chaos in Guanzhong has been brought to an end, and this old man has come to congratulate the prime minister. "

This news was earth-shattering, even more unbelievable for Cao Cao and his son than Chang Diao's defeat.

How can it be?

After losing the Weishui line of defense, Han Sui and Ma Chao have been able to give full play to their best horse battles. How could they be beaten like this instead?
Cao Cao, who had fought all his life, suddenly felt that he would never know how to fight. Even if Chang Diao set up an ambush again, even if he stood up against the water to boost morale, how could he achieve such a result?
Even if Cao Cao personally led the army, he might not be able to defeat the Guanzhong rebels head-on. How did the people behind Changdiao Palace do it?
"How did you hear about it? Could it be that you set up a school behind the prime minister's back?" Yang Xiu was surprised and angry. He believed that Jia Xu would not talk nonsense in front of Cao Cao, but this matter was too unbelievable.

If Guanzhong is regained, Cao Cao, who was in decline before, will regain the initiative, and all his previous plans will become a joke.

"Although I don't have school affairs in my hands, there are always a few in my hometown. Did Dezu forget where I am from?"

It was only then that Yang Xiu remembered that the eerie old man in front of him was inextricably linked to the people of Liangzhou. The calmness in his heart was gradually swallowed up, and his body shook a few times.

"Why, how could this be..."

.

The official news about the victory and defeat has not yet come, and Cao Cao and his son can only hold back the excitement in their hearts for the time being, telling Jia Xu not to reveal this matter for the time being, in case there is a slight deviation, he will be severely slapped in the face.

Cao Pi was very satisfied with Jia Xu's performance. He enthusiastically took Jia Xu's hand and sent him out of the prime minister's mansion. It made Jia Xu dumbfounded, but in the face of this future master, he still humbly showed a flattered look, expressing his willingness to obey Cao Pi's dispatch in the future and do his best to serve Cao Pi.

In stark contrast to Cao Pi's triumphant expression was Yang Xiu's gloomy expression.

He had already sensed something was wrong, but he still had the last trace of luck in his heart, thinking that Jia Xu's move was just a bluff, and he was quietly waiting for the final victory.

Yang Xiu also noticed that his posture was a little too much before. After hearing that Chang Diao turned defeat into victory, he was not only displeased but showed a disappointed expression. This must have been clearly seen by Cao Cao.

This level of cultivation is still not enough, Yang Xiu warned himself to work harder in the future.

Seeing Jia Xu's back going away, he slowly clenched his fists, and began to struggle to figure out a way out for himself.

If, if it is really as Jia Xu said, what should I do?

·
Jia Xu slowly boarded the carriage.

He didn't go back to the mansion directly, but with the support of his attendants, he went to buy some daily expenses at home very friendly, and then walked slowly on the street facing the cold wind, and walked into a post house unknowingly.

The postman seemed to have been prepared for a long time, when he saw Jia Xu coming, he just nodded slightly as a greeting, and let Jia Xu walk into an unremarkable woodshed.

Xu Shu sat quietly in the firewood room, when he saw Jia Xu coming, he got up to meet him and saluted Jia Xu slowly.

"Thank you Mr. Jia for your hard work!"

"Hehe, a little effort.

After a few days, the prime minister will naturally know about this matter, and the old man took the credit for reporting the news, so I have to thank Yuan Zhi for it. "

Xu Shu's pale face showed a crazy smile due to excitement, he nodded slightly, and said with a calm smile:

"I still have to thank Mr. Jia, otherwise I'm worried that Bandit Cao won't be able to survive that time."

Even though Jia Xu had been treating human life like nothing for many years, seeing Xu Shu's peaceful smile still couldn't help but feel a chill.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

"It has always been Jia's long-cherished wish to support the Han family, but he has never had the opportunity for so many years.

Now the opportunity has finally come, and I would like to ask Yuan Zhi to raise more points in the future. "
