Chapter 186: The Poisoner Enters Liaodong
Yuan Xu sent back an order from Liaodong and asked Jia Xu to lead 100,000 armor soldiers.
Jia Xu selected an army of 100,000 and marched to Liaodong.
Jia Xu was accompanied by Xiahou Yuan, a fierce general who was once subordinate to Cao Cao.
In the Gongsun family of Liaodong, there are only 50,000 soldiers, and there are no fierce generals like Xiahou Yuan.
With Jia Xu and Xiahou Yuan here, even if the brothers have different intentions, they can deal with it in time.
It took about a month to send troops from Yecheng to Liaodong.
These days, Yuan Xu instructed Cheng Yu to take over the government affairs of Liaodong.
In addition to distributing seeds for new crops to the people of Liaodong, he also got some cotton seeds.
Although the location of Liaodong is remote, Gongsun Du has always attached importance to commerce, and there have been many businessmen in the past.
But wherever there are merchants coming and going, news from other regions can always reach here.
Hebei's grain output has increased more than tenfold, and the people's clothing has been changed to cotton fabrics, and even some cotton fabrics have been transmitted to Liaodong.
Yuan Xu distributed new seeds, and of course the people of Liaodong flocked to it, and they were afraid that it would be too late to receive it.
But in one day, all the seeds were distributed.
Every day after that, Yuan Xu, accompanied by Gongsun Kang and others, inspected the government affairs and military affairs of Liaodong.
After waiting for a full month, the army led by Jia Xu finally arrived.
The army entered Liaodong and took over many passes that were originally guarded by the Liaodong Army.
Yuan Xu met with Jia Xu and Xiahou Yuan in the front hall of Gongsun's house.
Coming to Yuan Xu, Jia Xu and Xiahou Yuan bowed down and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi." ”
"You're finally here." Yuan Xu said: "I have been waiting for a long time. ”
Not long after serving Yuan Xu, he was appointed to lead an army of 100,000, and Jia Xu and Xiahou Yuan were already inexplicably moved in their hearts.
Jia Xu replied: "It's not easy to deploy the army, and you have to prepare military supplies, so it took a few days, please don't blame the son." ”
"Liaodong is handed over to you." Yuan Xu said to Jia Xu: "From now on, Liaodong Taishou is still Gongsun Kang, but the government and military affairs here are all handled by you." You don't have to worry about how the Gongsun family leads the troops, unless you fight with Wu Huan, you don't have to interfere with them. ”
Jia Xu received the order, and Yuan Xu looked at Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong who were present: "I arrange it like this, do you two have any objections?" ”
has long been suppressed by Yuan Xu, how dare the brothers have any objections.
The two of them replied in unison: "Childe is wise, it is very appropriate to make such a decision." ”
After the court meeting ended that day, Yuan Xu took Jia Xu to the back garden.
Walking with Yuan Xu in the back garden, Jia Xu asked: "Gongzi left Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, aren't you worried that it will become a trouble?" ”
"Of course I'm worried." Yuan Xu said: "That's why I handed over all their government affairs to you." ”
"There are still 50,000 troops in Liaodong, and if they are not cut, they will become a disaster sooner or later." Jia Xu replied: "You have to think of taking away the military power from them." ”
"I summoned you here for this purpose." Yuan Xu said: "You are doing things here, as long as you don't do too much, I will treat it as if you don't see it." ”
He then asked Jia Xu: "Does Wen He know that there is something in the Liaodong area?" ”
"I wonder what Childe said?" Jia Xu asked.
"Ginseng." Yuan Xu replied: "Ginseng likes cold, because it is rare, and it is also a precious medicinal material. ”
"I've heard that ginseng grows in Liaodong." Jia Xu replied: "In the past, in the Central Plains, it was worth a lot of money to buy one. ”
"So you're going to have to get people to pick it." Yuan Xu explained: "You have to have people collect ginseng seeds, cultivate them by people, and then send them to the Central Plains." ”
"Childe is going to ......" Jia Xu seemed to understand Yuan Xu's intentions.
"Wherever there is a specialty, you must make the most of it." Yuan Xu said: "Although I have made a lot of money in the Central Plains, who in the world would be afraid of having more money? Hebei is prosperous and even the whole world is prosperous, and there is no need for money. ”
"I understand what Childe means." Jia Xu replied: "I will definitely send more ginseng to the Central Plains." ”
"Ginseng bred by humans should be separated from wild ginseng." Yuan Xu said: "Although it is the same species, it has the name of wild ginseng, which is easier to sell for a price. ”
"I've written it all down." Jia Xu received the order.
Yuan Xu talked to him a lot about Liaodong affairs, and Jia Xu retreated.
Back at the residence, Xiahou Yuan was waiting there.
Seeing Jia Xu coming back, he stepped forward and asked, "Gongzi really plans to let Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong lead the troops?" ”
"Or else?" Jia Xu asked: "Cutting off their military power and forcing them to jump over the wall in a hurry?" ”
"With a son in charge, what can a dog jump off the wall in a hurry?" Xiahou Yuan said: "It's a big deal to destroy them." ”
"Miaocai really doesn't understand the mind of the child." Jia Xu shook his head with a smile: "What Gongzi wants is not just to seize Liaodong. ”
"It's not to capture Liaodong, why do you want us to come over and bring so many soldiers and horses?" Xiahou Yuan looked confused: "There are no fierce generals in Liaodong, don't say that Gongzi is here, even if he is not there, we can take ......"
"What Childe wants is the world." Jia Xu replied: "The Gongsun family of Liaodong is not unfavorable to the son this time. If he does it here, what other heroes will dare to take refuge in the future? ”
Xiahou Yuan is not stupid, Jia Xu said this, he probably understood: "It turns out that Gongzi has such intentions. ”
"We led the army to Liaodong, but in fact, we have already set up the Gongsun brothers." Jia Xu said: "It is only a matter of time to force them to finally hand over their military power. ”
"What are Wenhe's plans?" Knowing that he had a lot of ideas, Xiahou Yuan asked.
"I don't have any plans, what should I give them, or give them to them." Jia Xu said: "However, it should be matched, and it should be prepared according to the earlier Liaodong. ”
"Give everything, they haven't been at ease?" Xiahou Yuan said: "In this way, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong don't know how many years they can last. ”
"In the past, the Liaodong Army was satisfied, because there was no comparison." Jia Xu replied: "The soldiers under the command of the two of us have meat and money to go out, and their robes are also cotton, which is much more comfortable than hemp. We should also not restrict the soldiers from contacting the local soldiers in Liaodong. If you see too much, people will always be red-eyed. When the Liaodong soldiers made a fuss, they only gave them one reason, that is, our army was assigned military supplies according to the Hebei army, and the Liaodong soldiers could only follow the old system because they were not fully loyal to the prince, so that the Liaodong army was shaken, even if there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what could Gongsun Kang do? ”
"Gongzi transferred Wenhe to Liaodong, is it because you will use these strategies?" Xiahou Yuan smacked his lips and said: "The soldiers are bloodless to break the hearts of the Liaodong army, except for Wen He, I can't think of anyone else." ”
"Childe has thought of it for a long time, so he will hand over government affairs to me." Jia Xu said to Xiahou Yuan: "Since we are both reused, don't let your son down!" ”
