Can I get to the other side?

Guo Jia met Jia Xu's gaze, took a big sip of wine, and then slowly elaborated on his theory of ten defeats and ten victories.

"First! Yuan Shao pays attention to complicated etiquette; His Majesty is naturally detached and approachable. This is Dao Sheng!"

"Second! Yuan Shao has evil intentions and is holding the emperor hostage. Your Majesty is a descendant of the great ancestor and occupies the great power. It is destiny that he has returned. This is a righteous victory!"

"Third! Yuan Shao is tolerant on the outside but jealous on the inside, and he is suspicious of people when he hires them. Your Majesty is simple and straightforward on the outside, but smart and wise on the inside, and he is not suspicious of people when he hires people. This is Dusheng!"

"Fourth! Yuan Shao is more thoughtful than decisive, and he is as indecisive as a woman. Jushu once proposed to blackmail the emperor to order his subordinates, but Yuan Shao refused, so that he was welcomed away by Cao Cao and regretted it. Your Majesty adapted to the situation, escaped from Cao Cao, and served Yuan Shao. Under house arrest, you can quickly win over the imperial guards and make me willing to die. This is a way to win! "

"Fifth! Yuan Shao agreed to surrender in order to gain reputation. Most of the scholars who were boastful went to surrender. Your Majesty treats others with a sincere heart and does not like ostentatious appearances. This is a victory of virtue!"

"Sixth! Yuan Shao's subordinates fought for power and advantage, slandered each other, and were in chaos. Your Majesty appointed Liu Bei and Lu Bu to turn their conflicts into friendship. This is a clear victory!"

"Seventh! Yuan Shao's heirs are hostile to each other. If the brothers are not harmonious, they will fight against each other. Your Majesty has no heirs yet, so don't worry. This is the victory of the son!"

"Eighth! Yuan Shao likes to bluff and doesn't know the essentials of war. Although there are many generals under his command, very few can carry the banner. Your Majesty's powerful generals such as Lu Fengxian, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide are all enemies of ten thousand people. This is a victory by force!"

"Nineth! Yuan Shao is now forty-three. He has reached the age of forty. He is old and often sick. Your Majesty is not yet weak, but he is still young and strong. This is a longevity victory!"

Guo Jia talked eloquently and expressed his beautiful thoughts.

After nine wins and nine defeats, the jar of wine has reached its bottom.

Jia Xu listened with rapt attention. With his scheming and scheming, he had not yet been able to see such a comprehensive picture.

Lu Bu, a capricious villain, actually surrendered to the emperor!

Seeing Guo Jia talking about nine wins and nine losses, he was drinking and no longer talking. He was anxious. He grabbed Guo Jia's sleeve and asked, "Fengxiao, where is the final victory and one defeat?"

"Hahaha! The final victory or defeat depends on Brother Wenhe!"

Guo Jia laughed loudly, pointed at Jia Xu, and then suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and slammed it on the table.

"If Brother Wenhe is willing to help your majesty, then Yuan Shao will lose a great talent. If your majesty has more help, this will be a victory!"

"Yuan Shao has ten defeats, and His Majesty has ten victories!"

"Your Majesty has won the Daosheng, Yisheng, Dusheng, Shousheng, Desheng, Mingsheng, Zisheng, Wusheng, Shousheng and Rensheng. Is there any reason why the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty cannot be accomplished?"

"That's it for the sake of Yan Han, for yourself, and for the sake of your family. Please make a decision, brother Wen He!"

Jia Xu looked at the dagger Guo Jia slapped on the table in surprise. He knew what Guo Jia meant.

Guo Jia has explained all his trump cards to him. If he still doesn't agree to serve the emperor, then he will die today!

In addition, even the family members could not escape the disaster.

Cold sweat broke out on Jia Xu's back.

He never expected that Guo Jia would be so sinister that he would secretly find his family members.

For a moment, the air in the courtyard seemed to freeze.

The two of them looked at each other without speaking, only the hoarse chirping of cicadas came from the distance.

After a long time, Jia Xu sighed quietly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said helplessly: "Why does filial piety mean this?"

He just wanted to test Guo Jia today and explore the emperor's trump card.

But what he didn't expect was that Guo Jiahui would be so decisive and come with the goal of making his whole family successful if he didn't succeed!

"Brother Wenhe, don't talk nonsense. Are you willing to be loyal to His Majesty?" Guo Jia stared straight at Jia Xu.

As long as Jia Xu's eyes wavered at all when he answered, he would take action without hesitation.

Jia Xu calmed down and said, "To be honest, when I came to Yecheng, I had two plans."

"What do you mean?" Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I came to Yecheng not because of my loyalty to Yuan Shao. Don't make fun of me because I am a man of filial piety. I have always followed the path of being sensible and protecting myself. Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, is very powerful. If you come to his command, you can live a stable and prosperous life." "

"After arriving in Yecheng, I found that Yuan Shao was not like the master... The specific reason was mentioned by Fengxiao in his theory of ten victories and ten defeats."

"Yuan Shao is scheming and unstoppable. He is not a wise master. Surrendering to him can ensure temporary stability, but it is by no means a long-term solution."

Guo Jia nodded slightly and asked, "Brother Wenhe's second-hand plan..."

"That's right." Jia Xu said calmly: "Although I, Jia Xu, am a self-interested person, I also read the books of sages and know the great righteousness."

"It is not my wish to seek refuge with the likes of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. If given the opportunity, I am willing to follow the Ming Dynasty and accomplish great things."

"The second-hand preparation for coming to Yecheng is that if Yuan Shaoruo is not able to follow him, he will secretly observe the emperor. If the emperor is worthy of assistance, I will do my best to help the emperor rebuild the Han Dynasty."

"If neither Yuan Shao nor the Emperor is worthy of following, then leave."

Guo Jia felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he was still unsure of Jia Xu's real plan and asked: "In Brother Wenhe's heart, is Your Majesty a wise man and worthy of your assistance?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Fengxiao is a man of extraordinary agility, and Lu Bu is an unparalleled general in the world. How can a monarch who can make Fengxiao and Lu Bu loyal to him be mediocre and incompetent? Although I have not had much contact with your majesty, I can tell you Looking at the two of you, we can also see that there is a ravine in His Majesty's chest, but he is currently stuck in the shallows. "

"Therefore..."

Jia Xu said, suddenly stood up, bowed to Guo Jia and said: "Let me, Jia Wenhe, make up for the last victory of the ten victories for your majesty!"

These words are powerful!

Guo Jia stared at Jia Xu, and the latter did not dodge, facing his gaze, his face was full of calmness.

After a moment, Guo Jia let go of the dagger in his hand, stood up and bowed deeply to Jia Xu, and said apologetically: "Brother Wenhe, I was rude just now."

"If Brother Wenhe has complaints about me, you can beat and scold me, I will never fight back, but I hope Brother Wenhe can do his best to assist your majesty."

Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, and his family was temporarily free of worries.

He smiled, helped Guo Jia up and said: "Such a big thing must be extremely cautious, how can I take it to heart?"

Guo Jia's appearance is that of a weak scholar, and he is also the kind of weak scholar who drinks all day long.

But who would have thought that such a person would be so vicious.

Jia Xu knew that if he didn't make his mind clear today, both he and his family who had been hiding early would have to die.

Guo Jia knew that using family members to coerce was not a gentleman's behavior, so he smiled bitterly: "This is related to the safety of Your Majesty. If I fail to recruit Brother Wenhe today, and the news leaks and puts Your Majesty in danger, I will really die."

Jia Xu nodded, indicating that he could understand.

If it were him, he would be more vicious than Guo Jia.

"When you are free, please take me to the palace to meet Your Majesty. Some things are better to talk to Your Majesty in person."

Guo Jia laughed, "If Your Majesty knew that Brother Wenhe came to surrender, he would be very happy."

The two looked at each other and laughed, as if they were good friends who had not seen each other for a long time and reunited. The scene of fighting before seemed to have never happened at all.

Jia Xu took another jar of wine and put it on the table with a bang, "Come on, Fengxiao, we won't go home until we are drunk today."

Guo Jia took a glass of wine and put it under his nose and took a deep sniff, his face full of intoxication.

"This wine is really good. I drank too fast just now. Now I have to taste it carefully."

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia, who looked like a drunkard. It was hard to imagine that this man's scheming and tactics were so deep.

"When I find a chance, I will go to Yuan Shao to ask for a few more jars to give to Fengxiao."

In the hot summer, in a small courtyard, the two top counselors in the world drank wine and talked freely.

When the two were slightly tipsy, Jia Xu said, "Feng Xiao, after listening to your ten wins and ten losses theory, I also have ten losses in my mind for Yuan Shao, and some of them coincide with yours."

Guo Jia took a gulp of wine, burped, and said, "Brother Wenhe, what do you think? Tell me quickly."

Jia Xu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Although Yuan Shao is powerful, he is surrounded by powerful enemies outside. Cao Aman of Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and Lu Fengxian of Xuzhou are all powerful enemies. There are factional struggles inside, attacking each other. This is the first defeat. "

"Yuan Shu's claim to the throne greatly weakened the prestige of the four generations of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao would not be able to get as much support as before. This is the second defeat. "

"The emperor is rising, although weak, but in the dark. Yuan Shao is strong, but in the light. He used the dark to gain the upper hand. This is the third defeat. "

"Lü Bu secretly surrendered and occupied Xuzhou and Yangzhou for your majesty's use. It's ridiculous that Yuan Shao didn't know it. Not only did he not set up defenses against Lü Bu, he also tried to win him over. This is the fourth defeat. "

" In order to suppress Liu Bei, Yuan Shao used the emperor's edict to appoint him as the governor of Jingzhou. However, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was a talent of the Three Dukes in the world! He was suspicious and indecisive, and could not do anything. Xu thought that with Liu Bei's ability, he would be able to seize Jingzhou from Liu Biao, the thief who guarded the city. This is the fifth defeat. "

"Yanhan has been passed down for more than 300 years. The people of the world belong to Han, and the righteousness lies with the emperor. The Yuan family has been blessed by the country for generations. If Yuan Shao has a rebellious heart, what is the difference between him and a beast? At that time, he will lose the people's hearts, and the world will attack him together. This is the sixth defeat. "

"Yuan Shao used the emperor to control his disobedients, and Cao Cao in the south also had a puppet emperor. The two were bound to fight. The emperor could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and the fisherman would benefit. This is the seventh defeat."

"Yuan Shao was able to make decisive decisions when the situation was bad, and the upper and lower levels worked together. When the situation was favorable, he was indecisive and did not listen to others' advice. This is the eighth defeat."

"Yuan Shao had many generals but few talents, many soldiers but little food. He listened to villains and alienated loyal people. This is the ninth defeat."

"Yuan Shao's sons fought with each other, and his brothers were at odds with each other. They were like water and fire. This is the tenth defeat."
