Can I get to the other side?

In the meeting hall of the Prefect's Mansion, Gongsun Zan was stunned and stood there staring at Jia Xu.

This famous traitor of the Han Dynasty actually read out the imperial edict in front of him?

Even if the emperor issued an imperial edict, he should not be the one to announce it.

"Youzhou Mu Gongsun Zan accepts the order!"

Seeing that Gongsun Zan didn't move, Jia Xu repeated it louder and with a solemn expression.

"Wen He, is what you are holding in your hand really an imperial edict?" Gongsun Zan asked with doubt on his face.

Not to mention whether there was any problem with the identity of Jia Xu, the person who delivered the decree, but the so-called imperial decree in his hand was clearly a piece of fabric torn from his clothes.

"Falsely transmitting an imperial edict is a crime of deceiving the heavens. How dare I bear this crime!" Jia Xu scolded him categorically. He showed the belt edict in his hand and said once again: "Youzhou Mu Gongsun Zan accepts the edict!"

When Gongsun Zan saw this, he realized that it might really be an imperial edict.

Otherwise, in his territory, even if Jia Xu had a hundred courages, he would not dare to deceive him by falsely preaching the imperial edict.

Putting aside his doubts for the time being, Gongsun Zan bowed respectfully.

"My lord, Sun Zan, respectfully hears the holy words!"

Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Zan and saluted the imperial edict.

Jia Xu stood up straight and read loudly: "Zhizhao Censor: I heard that in the relationship between human relations, father and son come first; in the difference between respect and inferiority, the monarch and his ministers are the most important. Recently, Yuan thieves have taken power and oppressed the emperor and father; they have linked up with parties and corrupted Chao Gang; I am not the master of edicts, rewards, and punishments.

I worry about it all night long, fearing that the world will be in danger. As a minister of the country, you should think of the unstable state of the country, gather together loyal and righteous martyrs, destroy the traitors, and restore peace to the Han Dynasty! Sprinkle blood on your broken finger, write an edict to your Majesty, be careful again and again, don't disappoint me! The edict was issued in the spring and February of the third year of Jian'an. "

After reading the imperial edict, Jia Xu immediately stepped forward to help Gongsun Zan and handed the imperial edict on clothes and belts into his hands.

Gongsun Zan took a closer look at the belt edict in his hand, and said with shock on his face: "Wen He, this... this was actually written by His Majesty with his blood!"

Zhao Yunguang on the side raised his eyebrows in anger and his eyes turned red when he heard the content of the imperial edict.

At this moment, after hearing what Gongsun Zan said, he quickly went over and took a look.

When he saw the words written in blood on the imperial edict, he was immediately furious. He couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Yuan Thief! How dare you bully the emperor like this!"

Jia Xu glanced at Zhao Yun in surprise, never expecting that there were actually loyal men under Gongsun Zan who cared about the Han Dynasty.

He sighed and said to Gongsun Zan: "This edict on clothes and belts is indeed written with His Majesty's blood shed. I believe that Hou Yi is full of questions at this moment, and I will answer them one by one."

Gongsun Zan immediately asked: "Why is Your Majesty's imperial edict in Wen He's hands?"

Jia Xu raised his head, looking like a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and said proudly: "The emperor is in trouble and is trapped in Yecheng. I have surrendered to the Yuan thieves on the surface, but in fact I have been loyal to the emperor early. Yuan Xi killed his younger brother and imprisoned his father. It was also the emperor. The purpose of this promotion is to free His Majesty from being held hostage by the Yuan thieves."

"I came to Youzhou this time to assist Marquis Yi in sending troops south to conquer Jizhou and rescue the emperor."

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan still couldn't believe it.

A loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? This is far from the stereotype that Jia Xu has given people over the years.

"Marquis Yi, please see, here is the seal of the imperial seal." Jia Xu pointed to the seal on the belt edict and said.

Gongsun Zan immediately lowered his head and looked at it. It was indeed the same seal as the seal he had received before being granted the title of Marquis of Yi. It was indeed the seal of the imperial jade seal, and he was convinced in his heart.

Jia Xu added: "I arrived in Youzhou a few days ago to clarify the situation in Yecheng with Marquis Yi. Today, Marquis Yi invited me to come. I must have made a decision in my mind, right?"

Gongsun Zan nodded and said with a serious face: "The emperor is in trouble. As a Han official, how can I, the general, just sit idly by and watch?"

"This general has decided to send 30,000 troops to attack Jizhou. The situation will not turn around until Yecheng is broken!"

"If Wen He has a good idea, you might as well tell him."

He doesn't care whether the edict is true or false, what he needs is great justice.

Now that Jia Xu personally delivered the righteousness to his door, he sent troops to Jizhou to be considered a well-known commander, and he could confidently shout out the slogan of Qingjun side.

What's more, Yuan Shao was imprisoned and the situation in Yecheng was turbulent, which was a golden opportunity for him.

If we don't send troops at this time, when Yuan Xi completely takes over Yuan Shao's power, or Yuan Shao escapes from trouble, he will inevitably lead a large army to attack again.

Jia Xu laughed and said: "Marquis Yi is worthy of the name of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! I have three strategies that can help Marquis Yi defeat Jizhou!"

"Three strategies?" Gongsun Zan's eyes widened for a moment, and he hurriedly arranged for Jia Xu to sit down, "Quick, quick, sir, please sit down and explain in detail."

Unconsciously, he addressed Jia Xu as Mr.

In the past, a group of warriors relied on their own experience to fight the wars. They often fell into the schemes of Yuan Shao's advisers and suffered a lot of heavy losses.

Now, the poisonous scholar Jia Xu, who is known as "the ultimate strategy", is helping him, and he has three strategies in one sentence. How can he not be overjoyed.

He would never dream of fighting this kind of brain-battle!

Seeing Gongsun Zan's excited look, Jia Xu sneered in his heart.

The Yidai Zhao did give him the status to send troops to attack Jizhou, but it was more of a restriction.

In His Majesty's words, it is moral kidnapping.

It's okay if you don't accept this imperial edict. It's a great thing to declare to the outside world that you don't know the authenticity of the imperial edict.

But once he accepted it, he was kidnapped. In the eyes of the world, he was His Majesty's minister.

If you don't respect His Majesty's orders in the future, you will be a capricious villain and a traitor of the Han Dynasty who will be punished by everyone.

About an hour later, Jia Xu told Gongsun Zan in detail his three strategies to defeat Jizhou.

After Gongsun Zan heard this, he grabbed Jia Xu's hands and said with great joy: "With your help, sir, I can defeat an army of 100,000 people!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and silently pulled his hand back.

The hands that were often grasped by Liu Xie were now held by Gongsun Zan, and he only felt awkward.

"Sir, please go back and have a good rest. I will summon all the generals to discuss the matter of attacking Yuan Shao."

The shadow of a famous tree. Gongsun Zan knew Jia Xu's abilities before. Now after hearing the three strategies to defeat Jizhou, he was even more impressed.

Gongsun Zan said, and then said to Zhao Yun on the side: "Zilong, please see off sir."

"promise!"

Zhao Yun took the order and sent Jia Xu to a courtyard arranged for him by Gongsun Zan.

"I saw that you are handsome and handsome, and I heard Yi Hou call you Zilong. Are you Zhao Zilong from Changshan?"

Jia Xu asked before entering the wing.

"Do you know me?"

Zhao Yun frowned. Jia Xu had a lot of bad records. Even though he was deeply impressed by the strategy he just presented, he still had a very bad impression of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu shook his head, shook the feather fan in his hand, and looked Zhao Yun up and down again.

"His Majesty once said that there is a young general under the command of Marquis Yi, whose surname is Zhao, Mingyun, and Zilong. He can take the heads of enemy generals in the midst of tens of thousands of troops. When I saw him today, he turned out to be very human."

"Your Majesty actually knows about me?" Zhao Yun's eyes widened, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.

Looking at the slightly excited Zhao Yun, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty once learned about Zilong from Liu Bei, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and saw Zilong's bravery with his own eyes when Yuan Shao attacked Yicheng. After returning to the palace, he wrote Fourteen words of comment.”

When he learned that the emperor had a fourteen-character evaluation, even with Zhao Yun's character, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this time, and asked: "Please tell me which fourteen characters it is?"

Under Zhao Yun's expectant gaze, Jia Xu slowly said: "With courage and courage, we can calm down the troubled times, and with the spear in our hand we can stabilize the country."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun was not as excited as Jia Xu thought, but looked ashamed.

"How can Yun Weili, who has made even half an inch of achievements, be worthy of His Majesty's evaluation?"

When Jia Xu saw this, his evaluation of Zhao Yun instantly rose.

I feel in my heart that Your Majesty is worthy of being a descendant of Taizu Emperor Gao. Is this ability to recognize people really innate?

After sighing with emotion, he added: "The defeat of Jizhou in this battle is a great opportunity for Zilong to make contributions."

Zhao Yun's eyes were firm and he said resolutely: "The traitor Yuan acted against the will and brought trouble to the emperor. Yun Ding fought hard to kill the enemy and save the emperor!"

Zhao Yun felt that he was far from worthy of the emperor's fourteen-character comment.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would work hard towards this goal in his life.

To calm down the troubled times and restore the Han Dynasty for Your Majesty.

…

Yecheng, Xunfu.

The Xun family is a very special existence among Jizhou aristocratic families.

The Xun family came from Yingchuan, Cao Cao's stronghold.

But the core members of the Xun family, the so-called Eight Dragons of the Xun family, all went elsewhere.

The uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You worked for Cao Cao in Xu County and were the two most trusted confidants of Cao Cao.

However, Xun Yu's younger brother Xun Chen served for Yuan Shao in Yecheng.

Someone once advised Yuan Shao that Xun Chen was an internal agent deployed by Cao Cao, and asked him to be careful.

But Yuan Shao ignored this at all and still entrusted Xun Chen with important tasks.

This is a perfect example of not putting all your eggs in one basket!

At this moment, the front hall of Xun Mansion was packed with people.

All the famous and prestigious families in Jizhou have their heads or elders here.

Even the Zhen family in Zhongshan is no exception.

The Feng family, the Guo family, and the Xin family were all wiped out by Yuan Xi. This bloody method made these wealthy families panic, fearing that one day it would be their turn.

Especially Ju Shou, Tian Feng and the family behind Shen Pei are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

After everyone arrived, Ju Shou's younger brother Ju Zong asked impatiently: "Youruo, the second young master is too murderous, how should we deal with him!"

Today he took the lead in calling all the families to Xun Mansion to discuss matters.

If we don't come up with a countermeasure, we will always feel uneasy.

Xun Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, already had a countermeasure in his mind, but he did not say it out immediately. Instead, he glanced at the frightened people and asked:

"There are rumors circulating in the city right now. It is said that the second young master killed his younger brother and imprisoned his father. Do you think it is true or false?"

Juzong said without hesitation: "I thought Xinpi would not be innocent. The second son killed his younger brother and imprisoned his father. It is nine out of ten true. Otherwise, why did he kidnap my eldest brother and his family and move them to the general's mansion?"

Shen Pei's nephew Shen Rong echoed: "Yes, Feng Ji and my uncle have always supported the eldest son Yuan Tan. How could Feng Ji become an accomplice of the third son to kidnap the general? This is simply unreasonable!"

"In my opinion, Xinpi saw this and spread the news. His purpose was not simply to destroy the reputation of the second young master."

After listening to the analysis of the two people, the representatives of the aristocratic families at home all nodded in approval.

As long as someone provokes what Yuan Xi has done, it will be difficult to hide it.

Unless Yuan Shao comes forward and publicly clarifies for him.

But the problem was that Yuan Shao didn't show up for a long time, and when others wanted to visit him, Yuan Xi refused because of his poor health.

Xun Chen nodded and said, "What you two just said is not unreasonable. You all come to my house to seek peace of mind."

"The current situation is so confusing that no one knows the truth until the last moment."

"I have some simple opinions, and I would like to share them with you. You can decide for yourself whether to adopt them or not."

Everyone present fell silent after hearing this, and pricked up their ears to listen.

Xun Chen stood up and paced in front of the hall with his hands behind his back.

"Now, there are only three options for you."

"First, do everything possible to meet the general in person. If the general is really imprisoned, rescue him."

"Second, seek refuge with the second son."

"Third, seek the emperor's blessing."

The heads and elders of the major families heard the three suggestions given by Xun Chen, and they all pondered and pondered the pros and cons in their hearts.

After about a cup of tea, Ju Zong said, "Rescuing the general is fraught with danger. Once the second son finds out, our fate will be like the Feng family, the Guo family, and the Xin family, and there is a risk of being wiped out."

"For now, there is no risk in joining the second son, and the family can be saved. There is no need to be as frightened as today. But forgive me for being blunt, the second son is not like a ruler."

"I think seeking the emperor's blessing may be the best choice at the moment."

After Ju Zong finished speaking, Shen Rong nodded slightly, but with some worries in his eyes, he asked: "I can say something disrespectful, the emperor is said to be just a puppet... Can he protect us?"

As soon as the words fell, an elder of the Zhen family immediately refuted: "This is a big mistake! General Lu Bu is loyal to the emperor, and has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xuzhou and Yangzhou. Who dares not respect the emperor will be crushed by the general. The second son has no reputation and no troops, how dare he not respect the emperor?"

The words of the Zhen family elder were unanimously recognized by everyone.

Compared with Lu Bu, Yuan Xi seemed too insignificant.

Everyone fell into thinking and weighing, trying to find a way to rescue Yuan Shao from trouble while seeking the emperor's blessing.

Or both at the same time.

But no one thought of surrendering to Yuan Xi.

Ju Zong bowed to Xun Chen and said, "I wonder if you can meet the emperor and ask for his protection for us?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Xun Chen said, "I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning, but I don't know if the emperor will see me."

No one except him is qualified to meet the emperor.

So everyone said good things again.

Now that Yecheng is closed and Yuan Shao has not appeared in power, their hope can only be placed on the emperor.

Xun Chen observed the attitude of the crowd, his mouth slightly raised, and thought to himself: "Many aristocratic families in Jizhou have come to surrender. I wonder if His Majesty will be satisfied with this gift?"

Ever since the news of Yuan Xi killing his brother and imprisoning his father came out, Xun Chen has begun to calculate and analyze.

As long as Yuan Shao is alive, Yuan Xi will never be able to take power.

If Yuan Shao dies, relying solely on Yuan Xi's personal reputation will not be able to support such a huge foundation.

After this incident, no matter what the outcome, he was not optimistic about Yuan Shao and his son.

On the contrary, as long as the emperor could seize the opportunity, he could regain power.

And he had several ways in mind to help the emperor ascend to the sky.

Yuan Shao was already a dead body in the tomb, and he wanted to be a loyal minister who helped him in times of trouble.
