Chapter 32: Xu Jia is Jia Xu
Chapter 32 Xu Jia is Jia Xu
After listening to Gao Shun's report, Lu Bu also briefly told them about his trip to Luoyang, including the trip to Meiji, and the collection of the righteous army in Taihang Mountain, and Lu Bu also talked about his bet with Xu Huang and others alone. As soon as the generals in the camp heard that there was a competition, they all geared up, eager to be able to compete now, which surprised Fang Yue and Xu Huang again, and there were so many people who loved competitions?
Lu Bu pressed his hands downward, "Don't worry, the soldiers of the border army have just come from afar, rest for a few days, five days later, I will hold a mobilization meeting of the whole army, all the Han and Huns, including their families, will come to participate, when the time comes, you will conduct a military exercise, let everyone see it, and see who has higher skills." β
"My lord, what is a military exercise?" Xu Huang asked puzzled.
Gao Shun explained for Lu Bu that "military exercises are simulated wars, and everything on both sides of the war is carried out according to actual combat, and a third party serves as the arbitration to determine the final victory or defeat." β
Xu Huang nodded, and Lu Bu added: "In this exercise, in order to make it easier for everyone to watch, only infantry will participate, and each side will have 1,000 infantry, and the cavalry will not participate."
Of course, Fang Yue and Xu Huang don't care, because the border army was originally mainly infantry, in fact, this is also Lu Buzang's heart, the infantry training of the veterans in the camp, whether it is physical fitness or equipment, is obviously stronger than the border army, which is to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Lu Bu inquired about the recent situation of the various ethnic groups in the grassland, Gao Shun reported the recent movements of the various ethnic groups, and Li Su temporarily stayed in Luoyang to arrange and operate Luoyang's intelligence network, so Gao Shun was temporarily responsible for the intelligence work of the old camp in the prefecture.
Fortunately, they have set up an intelligence network, and now Ding Yuan has done the history of merging the states, and they have rightly taken over part of the intelligence network of the original Han Dynasty government and military, so they also know in detail about the recent situation of the various ethnic groups in the grassland. Constant friction between the Xianbei tribes had begun, and skirmishes abounded.
The results of LΓΌ Bu's battle against the Northern Xiongnu Youxian Wang have already spread all over the Saiwai grassland, and no one has any changes to the Han Dynasty for the time being, and the Han army led by Cao Xing has successfully sent Humble Chi back to Zhao Xincheng, I heard that Humble Chi is very obedient, and is gathering his subordinates and preparing to move south. The Qiang people in Shuofang and Shangjun have also become much more honest in recent days, and have stopped the war with the Han and the Southern Xiongnu.
LΓΌ Bu told Gao Shun that no matter what the outcome of the exercise, the 4,000 Taihang Mountain rebels and the county soldiers from all the counties of the prefecture in the future would come to Yunzhong for training, and Ding Yuan had agreed that all the soldiers belonging to the prefecture should receive new training. Gao Shun said that the training ground and rest station have been prepared, and many veterans who are trapped in the camp can be qualified as junior instructors. After Lu Bu understood everything he wanted to know, he announced his disbandment, leaving only Gao Shun alone.
After everyone dispersed, Gao Shun walked to Lu Bu's side, "Lord, you left Gao Shun behind, but for the sake of the exercise?" β
"Well, in this exercise, you must win, and you must win beautifully, I want to use this exercise, the first is to completely subdue Fang Yue, Xu Huang and the veterans of the 5,000 border army, not only to integrate their people, but also to subdue their hearts."
"The second is to show the high-level leaders of the Southern Xiongnu exercise, to let them see the strength of the Han army, completely dispel their disobedience, to turn them into hunting dogs in the hands of our Han people, and to reward them with second-class citizenship second only to the Han people."
"Use them to conquer and crusade against other grassland tribes, reduce the sacrifice of our Han people, we Han people do not make unnecessary sacrifices, and let them do it for them if they can do it without consuming their own strength."
"In addition, you and I go to see someone, if you have the help of this person, it is better than a thousand troops!"
"Oh, we still have such a person? I was very curious, and I listened to the orders of the lord, and I should do my best to plan the exercises. β
Gao Shun followed Lu Bu to the backyard, although the new city in the clouds was under construction, it was the priority to complete the construction of the General's Mansion, which covers an extremely wide area, almost one-fifth of the city's area. Especially in the backyard, a big garden was built, but it was built in a hurry, and the pavilions and pavilions were not yet built, and there were only a few rockeries, flowers, trees, and ponds.
Lu Bu took Gao Shun to inquire about the guards and subordinates in the mansion many times before finding Mr. Xu Jia's residence, because the whole city was still under construction, so he could only temporarily arrange Mr. Xu Jia and the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing to his mansion, and they couldn't let these two go to live in the barracks.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Mr. Xu Jia's complexion is really much better, and he is chatting with Doctor Zhang, although Zhang Zhongjing is not very old, he has traveled to a lot of places, and although Mr. Xu Jia has not been to those places, he knows a lot about the human geography and customs of these places.
The two chatted hotly, not noticing the arrival of Lu Bu and Gao Shun at all, and Lu Bu did not bother, signaling Gao Shun to silence. He stood at the door and listened to the conversation between the two. It was Zhang Zhongjing who saw Lu Bu at the door first, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "I didn't know that the general had arrived, it was rude." β
Only then did Mr. Xu Jia discover Lu Bu and Gao Shun, and he hurriedly saluted: "Xu Jia has seen General Zhonglang." Lu Bu waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and he and Gao Shun also found a chair to sit down, and Lu Bu introduced Gao Shun to the two gentlemen. I heard that he was an important person who was relied on by Lu Bu as his deputy, and both of them were also in awe, and the person who could be recognized by Lu Bu must be a very capable person.
Lu Bu looked at Mr. Xu Jia with a smile, "Mr.'s complexion is much better, and it seems that his body is healing just around the corner." β
"Thank you for the general's concern, I have indeed improved a lot in Xiaxia, and this is thanks to the elixir of Doctor Zhang, who rejuvenated me and saved me, a dying person." Xu Jia replied gratefully.
"What kind of miracle doctor, Zhang Ji doesn't dare to be it, Mr. Xu Jia shouldn't have died, and he just happened to be here, just a gesture." Zhang Zhongjing said modestly.
"Brother Zhang, don't be modest, Mr. Xu Jia is fortunate to be treated by Mr. Zhang, this is a fact. But I'm here today for something else. Brother Wenhe, how long are you going to hide it from your little brother? β
When Lu Bu talked about Brother Wenhe, Mr. Xu Jia subconsciously responded, but reacted immediately. Suddenly, the old face was slightly red, as if his heart was being seen through, but he returned to normal.
Mr. Xu Jia stood up and gave a deep salute to Lu Bu, "Please also ask General Zhonglang to forgive me for the crime of deception, I really don't call Xu Jia in the next, my real name should be Jia Xu, and the words are harmonious, but I am indeed a person from Liangzhou, and I used to be an official in Luoyang, but because I disdain to flatter the eunuchs, I have no promotion rank." β
"I was depressed, and I was seriously ill, so I thought that I couldn't die in a foreign country, and the fallen leaves had to return to the roots, so I planned to struggle back to Liangzhou, who knew that I was tied up by bandits on the mountain halfway, and the general knew about the later things. But I don't know how the general learned Xu's identity? β
"Ha, I was just really trying to rescue Mr., but later when I saw that Mr. was talking extraordinary, I ordered Li Su to secretly investigate, I heard that Mr.'s accent is indeed a person from Liangzhou, and sure enough, there are Mr.'s old colleagues, who recognize Mr.'s appearance, isn't Xu Jia Jia upside down?"
Lu Bu said so, but in fact, he had read Jia Xu's historical records, and knew that in history, Jia Xu once abandoned his official position and returned to Liangzhou, and was robbed by the Di people halfway and wanted to be killed, so Jia Xu lied that he was Duan Xi's grandson, which frightened the robbers and escaped safely.
So he was sure that this Mr. Xu Jia was the famous "poisoner" Jia Xu, who was a famous strategist in the history books of the Three Kingdoms, and lived a long life, until the establishment of the Cao Wei regime and Cao Pi became the emperor.
There was a shortage of military advisers under his command, and he finally met one who could let him go, so he desperately brought it back to Bingzhou, and tried his best to visit famous doctors to treat him. Since he is known as a "poisoner", it means that he is a strategist who achieves great things and does not have a small manner, such a person has an appetite for himself, and he does not like people who think traditionally and believe in Confucianism.
