The official office of the general of Zhengxi is located in the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City, which was originally the palace of the Western Han Dynasty, which has suffered from war and disrepair, and the prosperity of the past has long been gone, leaving only some dilapidated palaces, and the scenery of the past can be vaguely seen.

Cao Liang placed the Yueqi camp in the west of Weiyang Palace, which was only half a mile away from Xiahou Xuan's official office.

Shi Bao and Deng Ai stayed behind to deal with the placement of the Yue cavalry camp, while Cao Liang, Yang Hu, and Du Pre accompanied Xiahou Xuan to the Governor's Mansion. Cao Liang is the general of the expedition to the west, and Yanghu Du is expected to join the army for the expedition to the west, and this time he arrived in Chang'an, which can be regarded as an official appointment.

Xiahou Xuan, who has no staff team, is like a commander with a light pole, no matter what he does, he has to do it himself, coupled with the fact that everything is not going well, Xiahou Xuan is mood is depressed to the extreme, and he has the heart to discuss it with his cronies, but when he looks around, he doesn't even have a person who can come up with ideas.

Xiahou Xuan had long been looking forward to Cao Liang and them coming, and even Cao Liang's office had already been cleaned up, even if no one moved in, Xiahou Xuan also ordered his soldiers to clean it spotlessly.

Weiyang Palace was originally the main hall of the Western Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, where the emperor ascended the throne, the ministers of the court, the royal wedding, the funeral ceremony and so on were held in this hall, the whole palace is huge in scale (six times that of the Forbidden City), magnificent, but because of the war, many palaces or destroyed in the war, or in disrepair, only the ruins remained, there is no more magnificence and luxury of the year.

However, the Chengming Palace, where the Yongliang Governor's Mansion is located, is well preserved, and after simple repairs, it is not as dilapidated as that.

Xiahou Xuan personally took them to the residence to check, Cao Liang's room was cleaned up, the fire was booming, the room was warm, Cao Liang arched his hand and said: "Brother Tai Chu has a heart." ”

Xiahou Xuan smiled and said: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it, you are the confidant of this governor, how can you not entertain well." You can look around and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with, just say, I tell them to rectify it. ”

Cao Liang said indifferently: "When you go on an expedition, why talk about any conditions, you can eat enough to satisfy your stomach, and your clothes can cover your body, the more extravagant and pompous, the easier it is to wear down people's will, and it is best to be simple." ”

Yang Hu and Du Yu also nodded yes, and Xiahou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, you guys have been working all the way, take a break today, and then perform your duties tomorrow." Tonight I will hold a banquet in the house to wash the dust for you. ”

After that, Xiahou Xuan retreated, leaving only Cao Liang and the others in the room.

Yanghu sat on the bed as soon as he sat on the bed, warm and soft, and couldn't help but praise: "General Xiahou is really a caring person, he has to handle such a little thing himself, it's really good, it's very comfortable." ”

Yanghu Du pre-originally thought that his military career was the same as the battle of Huainan, sleeping in the open air, and he was miserable, but he didn't expect that the conditions for this expedition were very rich, and even the residence was a magnificent palace.

However, Cao Liang was calm, he used to be Yu Linlang, staying in the palace all day long, he was already immune to this huge complex, not to mention, if it was comfortable, no matter how good the conditions of this era were, it could not be compared with the five-star hotels in later generations.

Xiahou Xuan has just been in Chang'an for more than a month, and it is obviously impossible to take care of all this, so who provides all these favorable conditions in the Governor's Mansion?

Since Sima Yi stepped down as the governor of Yongliang, this position has been vacant, and the highest military governor in the Guanzhong region is naturally held by Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, Guo Huai has his own official residence of the assassin, so the Yongliang governor's mansion is usually empty.

Xiahou Xuan can enjoy a comfortable living condition as soon as he comes, there is no doubt that this condition is provided by Guo Huai, in official business, Guo Huai is everywhere to hinder the yang and the yin, secretly stumbling, as if he has a grudge against Xiahou Xuan.

But in terms of living conditions, Guo Huai is very caring, and what he provides to Xiahou Xuan is not the best.

This can't help but make people wonder, what kind of medicine can be sold in this Guo Huai gourd?

Cao Liang secretly sneered, sugar-coated cannonballs!

Guo Huai's move is clearly suspected of co-opting and corrupting Xiahou Xuan, the rich living conditions, the wine and the beauty, if Xiahou Xuan is immersed in it, Guo Huai is naturally the most happy.

As Sima Yi's cronies, Guo Huai naturally didn't want Cao Shuang to succeed in cutting down Shu, but if he wanted to destroy the plan to cut down Shu, Guo Huai would never dare to be blatant, he could only take some more obscure means, on the one hand, to create some difficulties for Xiahou Xuan to raise materials, on the other hand, to win over Xiahou Xuan as much as possible, to provide him with the best and most comfortable living conditions, so that he had a lax and negative idea, as long as Xiahou Xuan's side of the matter of raising grain and grass is not completed, it will definitely have a fatal impact on Cao Shuang's plan to cut down Shu.

This Guo Huai is really an old fox, his means are unfathomable, in the eyes of others, he can't see Guo Huai cheating at all, what he sees can only be Guo Huai's courtesy, and he can't guess Guo Huai's true intentions at all.

However, Cao Liang is as clear as a candle and his heart is like a mirror, because he knows that Guo Huai is Sima Yi's person, and he will definitely not give a big gift in order to befriend Xiahou Xuan, so he arranged such good conditions for Xiahou Xuan, just to corrode him, let him be content with pleasure, and not want to forge ahead.

After many people are frustrated, they often retreat to the next best, and their inertia is serious, and they give up their business for pleasure.

Although Xiahou Xuan is also a practical person, he will not be confused by some petty profits, but Cao Liang also knows that Xiahou Xuan has an arrogant temperament, and if he is hit this time, it will still have a serious impact on his psychology.

When he was in Tongguan, Cao Liang had already seen Xiahou Xuan's anxiety and helplessness, and many unpleasant things in official affairs had obviously affected his mood, and after repeated setbacks, his mentality would inevitably be a little unbalanced, and his temperament became anxious.

This is obviously what Guo Huai wants to see, first hit Xiahou Xuan's self-confidence, and the next thing will be much easier, the more setbacks, the easier it is to lose direction and give up the goal.

It seems that it is time to have a good talk with Xiahou Xuan, and he must be allowed to face up to the difficulties, rebuild his confidence, and must not bow to the forces of the pro-Sima.
