Jia Xu, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, didn't have a very good face, and said helplessly, "The general has used a good strategy to make Xu Jie a solid unfilial son." ”

Tong Yuan laughed in his heart, this Jia Xu is really bitter.

First of all, "Wen and Chaowu, for the sake of his own life, ruined the last bit of hope of the Han Dynasty."

Then he became the "Ding Wei Assassin History", went home to guard filial piety and became a big official, and took the blame for Tong Yuan's efforts to subdue him, but this idea was inspired by Jia Xu himself.

This made Jia Xu suddenly at a low point of moral control. It must be bitter, Tong Yuan wanted to laugh when he looked at Jia Xu's ancient well-like face.

He said respectfully, "Sir's last teaching is like an initiation, and I have finally found a flexible way to deal with it. ”

Jia Xu opened his mouth, but took the words back. If he criticizes, he really can't say it, after all, he can see this strategy, and he ordered it himself.

He shook his head, then changed his mood and asked, "The general can have such a powerful plan in such a short period of time, and it has been carried out to this extent, is it because Mr. Hedong Weiqi is here, or does Li Wenyou know a lot?"

Tong Yuan was a little proud in his heart, but he didn't expect that even Jia Xu guessed wrong this time. He thought for a moment and replied, "If you want to help, there are many people who have provided important help. Wei Qi is still in Hedong, and Li Ru is not so close to me. ”

After Jia Xu listened, he was silent. In fact, his heart was surging, this young man was so surprising, he had such understanding.

This time, he solved Xiliang's problem so skillfully. First, he informed him through me of the imminent surrender of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and preemptively sent a document to force them not to dare to indulge in looting too much.

Second, he had already laid out Li Dao, which made him relax and paralyze, and made him have an open attitude. Then it led to the establishment of Yongzhou.

Third, this Yongzhou Thorn History was originally an important minister of the imperial court. Under his promotion, he let himself, a person who returned to his hometown, take the role. And Li Dao thought that he had planned all this.

This young man actually used the Yongzhou Thorn History to express to me the results of his last teachings and his determination to recruit me.

"How is this done?"

Jia Xu was calm and kept asking this question.

Tong Yuan showed a hint of a smile and said, "The student is stupid, and he can't think of it at all, and he can't operate this strategy. In fact, I came up with Zhang Ji, Zhang Lu, Su Ze, Feng Mou and others, and Weiyangjun together. ”

It turned out that after that day, he had a preliminary plan, that is, Dong Bai took people back to his hometown to worship. In this way, we can find a reason to maintain law and order in Xiliang Prefecture.

Dong Bai is the nominal leader of the Xiliang Army, she came out to take revenge for two years, and she really should go home to worship. In this way, there is no need for him to send troops to Hanyang County, and he is very deliberate to protect the Four Seas Merchant Gang.

It is far from enough to have this ingenious idea, after all, Ma Teng and Han Sui are still plundering, and Huangfu Song, who was forced to divide in Longxi and Wudu, will not let Dong Baitang, who has an enmity with him, arrive.

Two years ago, the Xiliang Army was in the limelight, and he needed to avoid it for the time being. But now he won't necessarily be obedient to avoid it.

There was no way, he discussed with Dong Bai first, and then gathered Zhang Ji, Zhang Lu, Su Ze, Feng Mou and others to hold a meeting for several days to discuss.

The upright Su quickly came up with an idea. You can send a document first to force Ma Teng and Han Sui to relent. Everyone mobilized the power of the merchant gangs, tun people, scholars, and refugees from all over the world to publicize and exert pressure in various ways.

Then Zhang Ji combined, coupled with Feng Mou's familiarity with geography and customs, proposed that Yongzhou could be established. Because many refugees suffered from the chaos in Xiliang at that time, and various places were in a state of disorderly chaos. It's just the right time to take advantage of the momentum.

Historically, for the same reason, Yongzhou was established in June of the first year of Xingping. At this point, the foundation is already in place, but it has been accelerated two years ahead of schedule.

However, Dong Bai was not confident that her side could achieve the goal at one time, so he sought Li Ru's assistance and asked him to think of a way to establish Yongzhou. Of course, Li Dao just entered the bureau set up for him by everyone and Li Ru.

Tong Yuan and Li Ru were invited to meet secretly in Jawyang.

Needless to say, Li Ru and Tong Yuan had another banquet in the Liangshan Fortress in Jawyang, discussed more and more distant things, and gave Tong Yuan important tokens.

It is a dragon and phoenix open-carved jade, the whole jade does not have many characteristics in the sunny day, but under the candlelight at night, it can reflect the endless coldness and domineering.

This is Li Ru's heavy gift to Tong Yuan as the "Dong family", and he suggested that Tong Yuan wear it with him, but don't show it, it will definitely be of great help in the future.

When Tong Yuan contacted Li Ru, the rest of the people were also able to unite the middle forces as much as possible on the basis of mobilizing their own people.

Zhang Ji suddenly remembered that he knew Zhong Xuan, a famous man who served as the waiter of the Yellow Gate. Zhong Xuan is a famous family in Yingchuan, very talented and noble, and calligraphy attainments are very high, and there is a lot of style. Maybe it can be said that he can be moved to promote the establishment of Yongzhou together.

As soon as Tong Yuan heard the name Zhong Xuan, he became vigilant. Anyone who is a little familiar with this period of history will know that he was an important minister of Cao Wei, and served as Cao Cao's head in Chang'an and the northwest region for a long time.

He asked Zhang how he had met the man. Zhang Ji introduced that although Zhong Xuan was born in a famous family in Yingchuan, he also ran a lot of business like a famous family in Hedong.

And he is sociable, and he does not look down on people from poor families, Haoqiang, etc. In this way, he had trade contacts with Zhang. He can often get special products from Hanoi, Yingchuan and other places, and even very rare Xuzhou goods.

I'm a mother-in-law. It seems that the trade route intelligence system is by no means done by me alone, and this Cao Cao is also secretly laying out Chang'an through the Yingchuan clan.

What he didn't know was that Zhong Xuan played a big role in dedicating the emperor to the east a year later. It is a slight exaggeration to say that Zhong Xuan can be regarded as Cao Cao's eyes and ears in Guanzhong at this time.

Although Tong Yuan was vigilant, he also asked Zhang Ji to contact Zhong Xuan, saying that the Xiliang war was continuous, and the Xiliang army intended to set up Yongzhou. In order to smooth the trade route, I hope that Zhong Xuan can be active here.

Zhong Xuan happily agreed, and it was really smooth to set up in Yongzhou later. However, Cao Cao also knew that Xia Yang was the real promoter of the establishment of Yongzhou.

The terrifying strategists around him quickly analyzed the situation through very limited information, and later made some countermeasures. If it weren't for Lu Bu being too difficult to deal with, I'm afraid Tong Yuan's trouble would be much greater.

However, Tong Yuan's strategy is not over yet. There is still one last point, that is, to subdue Jia Xu, so that he can start the layout and prepare for the future development without waiting for three years.

This time it still depends on Li Ru. Soon, Fan Chou became friends with Jia Xu, and the message that he wanted to ask him for another drive in Liangzhou spread. Jia Xu also had a good idea and analyzed Tong Yuan's strategy.

That's all there is to it. After listening to this, Jia Xu first said that he was just an ordinary person who had gone through half his life, and he couldn't afford to spend so much effort on General Lao.

However, he admires this way of meeting in a group and trying to find a way, knowing that no matter how powerful a person is, there will be many omissions due to personal limitations. Being able to do so quickly and effectively this time is indeed a reflection of the cohesion of his entire system.

Finally, Jia Xu said that he should be a little cautious in using strategies in the future, because the more people involved, the more information and people may be exposed.

He didn't say this sentence enough, after all, he only guessed a little. But this guess is accurate.

Tong Yuan knew that the answer he gave Jia Xu this time should have exceeded his expectations. It not only solves the matter of stabilizing the Xiliang Trade Road, but also solves the problem that Jia Xu said will be effective after three years.

The two looked at each other and smiled, some things didn't need to be said so directly, but Jia Xu would already work for him.

Tong Yuan then bowed and said, "I would like to worship Mr. as a teacher." Please don't refuse, sir, I have been brewing this idea for a long time. ”

Jia Xu was a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Don't be like this, it's not that I'm lonely, but my reputation is too bad, and it will definitely affect the general's reputation." ”

Tong Yuan was mentally prepared for this answer, Jia Xu was known as a poisoner in later generations, and has always been a controversial historical figure.

He also knew that after Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, he was named a lieutenant. When Sun Quan of Eastern Wu heard about it, he laughed and thought that choosing a person with a corrupt character like Jia Xu to serve as a lieutenant was really an improper selection and immoral.

However, Tong Yuan admires the poisoner very much, and now Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi are still young, and if they don't choose Jia Xu, there is only Li Ru as an option. Judging from his personal choice, he is more inclined to Jia Xu.

Tong Yuan said, "This reputation is really important to the Dashi clan who are not engaged in production, but after all, I want to create a path for the border army and the border people and even most people in the world, so how can I restrain myself?" ”

Jia Xu was moved by Tong Yuan's sincerity, but he had rich experience and deep thoughts, so he still refused, "If the lord wants to apprentice, it is best to choose a famous person with a good reputation." ”

Tong Yuan is young and vigorous, and he still has to persevere.

Jia Xu raised his hand to stop, "My strategy will still be taught to the lord, but only as a senior." If the lord still insists, then Jia Xu is really embarrassed. ”

Tong Yuan knew that he could call himself the lord and was willing to pass on his talents, which was already very rare.

The two also made some exchanges on the current situation, especially preparations for the follow-up trade in Yongzhou and the affairs of the Four Seas Merchant Gang. Jia Xu was very appreciative of the model of the Four Seas Merchant Gang's way of contacting all parties through trade routes. Of course, the matter of the Chamber of Commerce as an intelligence station can only be understood and cannot be spoken.

In the end, Jia Xu still had to leave and set off to return to Wuwei's hometown.

But before leaving, Tong Yuan had an important matter, and he had to ask Jia Xu to do it.
