The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

But it was said that since Liu Bei had already told Xu Rong that Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, and Yang Ding were "their masters", they would probably not be simply persuaded by Xu Rong's letters and so-called old feelings. Why do you suggest Xu Rong to give Duan Xun another book?

In fact, the reason is very simple. To sum it up in one sentence, if the eyebrows and beards are grabbed, things will not succeed with a high probability, but if they are prioritized and treated differently, they may have miraculous effects.

Back on that day, when Liu Bei offered advice to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong also raised the same question.

Liu Bei replied: "General, Duan Zhongming is quite different from Zhang Ji and Yang Ding. There are three differences. First, the Duan family lived in Liangzhou for 2,000 stone, and his clan elder brother Duan Jong, the prefect of the previous dynasty, was born in Zhongming. , not comparable to Zhang Ji and Yang Ding; secondly, Duan Zhongming was in Huayin, he did not disturb the people, persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberry, and the people were safe, and his actions were completely different from Zhang Ji and Yang Ding; and thirdly, ... prepared Hearing that, Jia Wenhe has far-reaching conspiracies, and after reaching a contingency, he can predict things ahead of time, and he has good and peaceful odds. Dare to ask the general, I don’t know if the rumors are correct?”

"Zhongming" is Duan Xun's word. Although Zhang Ji's family is called a Liangzhou noble family, Yang Ding is Liangzhou "adult", but the background of the two of them, as Liu Bei said, is indeed not comparable to Duan Yu, especially Yang Ding, "adult" is also In fact, he is a Chinese Hu people.

As for "Jia Wenhe", it is Jia Xu; "The Qi of Liang and Ping" refers to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping who are Liang and Ping.

Xu Rong said: "Mr. Jia is indeed unfathomable and unfathomable. Xi Rong was in Zhuo Jun, and Mr. Yun Wenhe, the generals in Liangzhou, had no last resort, and he was not afraid of it."

Liu Bei said: "Jia Wenhe and Duan Xun are from the same hometown, Bei heard that in the old years, Jia Wenhe resigned due to illness and returned home to Qian (Qian), where Dao encountered a rebellion, and dozens of people who accompanied him were obsessed with it. He claimed to be 'the grandson of Duke Duan' in order to scare Zhu Di, so he was able to live and escape, ... 'The grandson of Duke Duan' is a false statement, but Jia Wenhe and Duan Xun did have a good relationship.

"General, the third thing is that the general is writing to Duan Xun this time. You might as well say to Duan Xun that if he is unsure about the general's persuasion, you can ask Jia Wenhe's opinion."

"Ask for Mr. Wen He's opinion?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Jia Wenhe has a long-term vision, I predict that Li Jue and Guo Sizhi will be defeated, then he must be able to see it, and as long as he can see this, with his ingenuity, How could he not find a way out for himself? General, at this time, Duan Xun asked him whether to stop the general, in other words, whether to stop my brother Zhendong from entering Henan Yin, please think about it, Jia. What will Wen He tell him?"

Xu Rong pondered for a moment and said, "As you said, if Mr. Jia is thinking of his own retreat, he might be willing to speak for Zhendong?"

Liu Bei said, "Exactly!"

Among the princes in the world today, Yuan Shao deserves the top spot in terms of fame, but in terms of strength, Xun Zhen is not inferior to him in the slightest, and may even be stronger than him - and there is also Xu Rong, Jia Xu, under Xun Zhen's account. If you were to find a way out for yourself, Xun Zhen would definitely be a good choice for Jia Xu.

Xu Rong said: "You taught me what Duan Zhongming meant. I probably already understand it, but even if Duan Zhongming is persuaded because of this, there are still two generals Zhang Ji and Yang Ding. How should I deal with it?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "As long as Duan Xun can be settled, Zhang Ji and Yang Ding will prepare the materials, and nine times out of ten, they will not send troops to obstruct the general to take Henan Yin for my brother Zhendong."

Xu Rong said: "Why is this?

Liu Bei said: "Duan Xun and Yang Ding are currently stationing troops in Huayin, while Duan Xun appeases the people, and Yang Ding's soldiers mutilate the area; and Yang Ding, Hu Chief Ye, Duan Xun is quite light, but Yang Ding is on Duan Xun, because I heard that the two of them are not compatible; two months ago, Li Jue and Guo Si forced the court to lower the decree and move Yang Ding to be the general of Anxi. It's even worse!

"If Duan Xun was persuaded by the general and refused to send troops, then Yang Ding considered his own safety, how could he be willing to use his best troops to fight against the general?... There are three Liangzhou soldiers who came down from Hongnong. Duan Xun and Yang Ding do not move, Zhang Ji is alone, and he will certainly not send troops."

Huayin County belongs to Hongnong County, in the most northwest corner of Hongnong County, adjacent to Jingzhao Yin to the west.

Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, and Yang Ding happened to be three soldiers and horses, so Liu Bei said that "there are three Liangzhou soldiers in Hongnong and down".

It was because one monk had water to eat, and three monks had no water to eat.

In Hongnong County, there are three Liangzhou soldiers, as long as one is told to move, the other two will not move.

Compared with Xu Rong's three people going to the book together and persuading them regardless of priority, Liu Bei's strategy is indeed much more brilliant, so it is no wonder that Xu Rong praised it and followed Liu Bei's suggestion.

Say it again.

In this case, Xu Rong sent the messenger to see Duan Xun, but why didn't he hear back?

The reason is also very simple. It was really predicted by Liu Bei. After seeing Xu Rong's letter suggesting that he might as well ask Jia Xu's opinion, Duan Xun hesitated and finally sent someone to Chang'an to see Jia Xu and ask Jia Xu's opinion.

Although it is not far from Huayin to Chang'an, there are still more than 200 miles away, and the journey is time-consuming, so Duan Yu's reply has not yet been sent to Yingchuan.

...

In Chang'an City, Jia Xu's mansion.

Jia Xu finished writing his reply to Duan Xun, dried the ink, carefully sealed it with ink pad, gave it to the confidant sent by Duan Xun, and sent him back to Huayin to return to Duan Xun.

The person who served Jia Xu and wrote the letter was a young man, in his twenties, less than 30 years old. His appearance was somewhat similar to Jia Xu.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ Jia Xu's eldest son, named Jia Mu.

When the simmering confidant left the hall, Jia Mu asked Jia Xu, and said: "Father, Henan Yin is the location of Luoyang, and it is also in the middle of our pass. If Xun Zhen can go to this place, Xuzhou's momentum will definitely increase. , and will also pose a big threat to me in Guanzhong Chang'an, but I don't know why my father suggested that General Duan should attack Xu Rong's troops in Henan Yin, and it's better not to obstruct it?"

——Duan Xun, Li Jue and Guo Si are not very close friends, so after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si took power, and his official position is still the "zhonglang general" appointed by Dong Zhuo before.

Jia Xu sighed softly and said: "Guan Zhendong's actions in the past show that he has a big mind. He is also a hero in the world. Henan Yin is now a wasteland, but he sent Xu Rong to lead his troops to take it. How can it be just to raise momentum for Xuzhou and threaten me to shut down?"

Jia Mu asked, "If it wasn't for this purpose, what does my father think Xun Zhendong meant?"

Jia Xu said, "It's just the two of them."

Jia Mu said, "Dare to ask Father, which two are they?"

Jia Xu said: "By winning Henan Yin, you can form a two-sided siege of Jizhou. Strategically, it will form an advantage over Yuan Benchu. This should be one of the goals of Xun Zhendong to take Henan Yin."

Jia Mu asked, "What about the second one, Father?"

Jia Xu hesitated and said, "The second one, I'm still a little unsure."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "There is still something that my father is not sure about!"

Jia Xu said, "I'm not a god, and Zhendong is also Yingjie. I'm not sure what he's thinking. What's so strange?"

Jia Mu said: "Then dare to ask my father, what is this point that you are not sure about?

Jia Xu said: "What you said just now is right, Henan Yin is where Luoyang is located, and Zhendong sent Xu Rong to take Henan Yin, maybe...?

Jammu asked, "Maybe what?"

Jia Xu said: "It's not just what you said that you want to threaten me in Guanzhong, I guess he may be Ying Tianzi and returning to Luoyang!"

Jia Mu was taken aback and said: "Ying Tianzi, still Luoyang? Father, if he really has this purpose, then Henan Yin should not be given to him!"

Jia Xu said: "If you don't give it to him, what can you do? Look at the two generals Li and Guo, as early as this winter, but next year at the latest, there will inevitably be infighting. Once there is an infighting between the two of them, It is bound to lose both sides, I have no soldiers and no generals, and you and I are not warriors, so my father and son are both, how should I protect myself at that time?"

"Father said?"

Jia Xu said: "My old master, Dong Zhuo, abolished the emperor, burned Luoyang, and killed famous officials. He has already provoked the wrath of heaven and people. Now what Li and Guo have done is even more so than Dong Zhuo, and he has been criticized by thousands of people. Infighting in the army, when the Liangzhou army is defeated, if you and my father and son don't have a new backer, I'm afraid it will be the only one who will die without a burial."

Jia Mu said: "Father, aren't the second generals Li and Guo quite listening to your words? Although the second generals are somewhat discordant, in Mu Yu's opinion, it is unlikely that there will be infighting, right?"

After defeating Ma Teng in the battle of Changpingguan, the three generals Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou took advantage of this victory to add officials and titles to themselves, and all of them opened their palaces like three princes. In other words, the imperial court now has not only three palaces, but actually six palaces. The government has the power to recommend officials. Li Jue and others want to use their actions. If they are unsatisfactory, they will be angry and angry. The master suffers from it, and it is difficult to balance. The people recommended by Li Jue started to use it, then Guo Si, then Fan Chou, and the real San Gong did not work.

How can such behavior win the hearts of the people in the court? This was one of the reasons why Jia Xu believed that Li Jue and Guo Si would be defeated.

After Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou's power increased greatly, they competed with each other for power and power, and the situation that they almost met with swords and soldiers has often occurred several times. The interests of the legion are to blame. Although so far, they have not been able to be kind to each other. On the surface, they can still sit together, but as time goes by, the conflict will only become more and more fierce. Li Jue, Guo The infighting between Si and Fan Chou will happen sooner or later.

How could Jia Xu not see this? This was the second reason why Jia Xu believed that Li Jue and Guo Si would be defeated.

From the early summer of April to this month, there has not been a drop of rain in Chang'an City. The Gu Yi Shi in the city is worth 500,000 yuan. The people in Chang'an City can eat each other. They tried their best to relieve disasters and protect the people, but instead they continued to loot and loot, making the people angry.

How can this kind of government last for a long time? This was the third reason why Jia Xu believed that Li Jue and Guo Si would be defeated.

Jia Xu is a wise man. He has already seen through all of this. The reason why he has not left Li Jue and Guo Si, and is still in Chang'an, is because what he said just now, he used to belong to Dong Zhuo. The advisor, now Li Jue and Guo Si rely heavily on him. In other words, he has too many traces of the Liangzhou Legion on his body. Now he really has no one to vote for and has nowhere to go. Therefore, although he has seen the danger, he still has to stay in Chang'an temporarily.

At this moment, a letter from Duan Xun asking him for advice came.

Indeed, as Liu Bei expected, he really saw a glimmer of the dawn of where he would go in the future.

If he can help Xun Zhen now, it will be a good relationship with Xun Zhen. Maybe, when he has nowhere to go in the future, he can take this opportunity to go to Xun Zhen and find a place to live in Xun Zhen again. .

Jia Xu said this to Jia Mu again.

Jia Mu admired it very much and said: "Father, in his reply, told General Duan that the officials in the court and the people of Guanzhong have very much complaints about Li and Guo Ergong. There are only three caves of cunning rabbits, what about the wise ones? Today Xu Rong will

My dear, this chapter is not over, and there is a next page ^0^ The old friend of the army, he came to take Henan Yin, why not let it go, it is also to reserve a way back for the general.

"Father is not just looking for a way out for General Duan, but also for our family!"

Jia Xu sighed: "I thought that my father was wise and wise, and if in the time of peace, he would be the governor of a state or county, so that it would not be difficult to obtain wealth and honor, but now I can only use my wisdom and wisdom in these places, in the hope that it will make you My father and son Gou all died in troubled times."

...

When Jia Xu's reply was sent to Duan Yu, Li Jue and Guo Si were so impressed with Jia Xu's strategy that they were afraid, let alone Duan Yu?

Duan Xun no longer hesitated, and wrote back to Xu Rong.

In the letter, he promised that if Xu Rong invaded Henan Yin, he would never send troops to obstruct him.

...

In Yingchuan County, I finally received a reply from Duan Xun.

Xu Rong was overjoyed when he finished reading, and it coincided with the arrival of Sun Ce's troops. Sun Ce did not personally send the troops, but he appointed Cheng Pu as the main commander.

Henan Yin Luoye was shocked when he received the urgent report. While hurriedly flying to Chang'an to ask for help, he dispatched his officials to greet Xu Rongjun and asked him, "The general invaded my county border for no reason. What is the reason? Luoyang, Han The eastern capital of the family, where the world is watching, is the general not afraid that the imperial court will send troops to attack it, and arouse the anger of Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gonggong and other heroes?"

Xu Rong replied: "Since it was burnt down by Dong Zhuo, Luoyang has not been repaired, and the ancestral temple has been deserted for a long time. I heard the order of the Son of Heaven to re-bury Queen Linghuai in Wenzhao Mausoleum. Considering the lack of people in Luoyang, I specially led the troops. Come to help Lord Luofu repair the city, re-bury Empress Linghuai in Wenzhao Mausoleum, clean up for the court, and worship the ancestral temple!"

Cheng Pu said angrily, "Is it wrong for my lord to follow his father's footsteps and also want to rebuild the ancestral temple for the Han family to show loyalty?"

"Empress Linghuai" is the biological mother of today's son. She was originally a beauty. Because she was favored by Emperor Ling, she was hated by Emperor Ling's empress He, the sister of He Jin, and was forced to take medicine to commit suicide. At the beginning of this year, today Zi Zhui posthumously named her Empress Linghuai, and ordered her to be reburied in Wen Zhao Mausoleum. This errand, Luo Ye is the co-organizer, has only been completed not long ago.

Knowing that Xu Rong and Cheng Pu were excuses, the officials sent by Luo Ye had no choice but to return to Luoyang to report Xu Rong's reply to Luo Ye.

As mentioned above, in the territory of Yin, Henan, not many troops were stationed. Leaving the northwestern boundary of Yingchuan River, it is only a hundred miles away from Luoyang. After marching for two days, it has reached the east bank of Yishui River. After crossing Yishui River, it is Luoyang City.

...

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the county seat of Hanoi County, Huai County.

Yuan Shao received an urgent military report, and immediately sent an order to Zhang Yang, ordering him to send troops south to prevent Xu Rong's troops from entering Luoyang.

Zhang Yang, however, did not move.

...

Two days later, Xu Rong and Cheng Pu's troops crossed Luoshui~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and approached Luoyang City.

At this time, the messenger Luo Ye sent to Chang'an for help had just entered Hongnong County.

When Zhang Ji heard about this, he hurriedly passed on Duan Xun and Yang Ding, and ordered them to bring troops to join him and go to Luoyang to meet Xu Rong and Cheng Pu's troops. , Yang Ding was going to send troops, but he didn't dare to send troops. Zhang Ji had no choice but to restrain his troops and wait for the orders of Li Jue and Guo Si.

...

Luoyang City, Dongcheng Gate, the city gate was wide open, and more than a hundred officials filed out to welcome Xu Rong and other horses who came to the city first.

The person in the lead was Luo Ye.

...

The good news came back, and it went to Sun Ce first.

Sun Ce received the report that his father, Sun Jian, had entered Luoyang when he was courting Dong before coming to his mind. Sun Ce turned into the secret room and opened a box. There was a glorious thing in the box, but it was not the jade seal that Sun Jian got from the well.
