No. 121 The Whereabouts of the Elephant

At this time, Yan Xiang's face was full of disbelief, and then introduced: "The news of Cao Gong's defeat and the specific reasons for it, I also heard it from a young general from Jingzhao County who fled back from Nanyang by chance. Don't say it's you here, even Lu Wenhou and Spurs don't know about it. How do you know? ”

When everyone heard this, they understood, no wonder Yan Xiang was so frightened, according to this, Cao Cao had just lost the battle, and Jin Jue, who stayed with them in the county seat of Luoyang County, not only got the news, but also very likely got a detailed battle report, how could this be possible?

At this time, Jin Jue also had a toothache, and he got carried away, he actually forgot about this stubble. Fortunately, the idle chess he had planted in advance could finally come in handy at this time.

"Hehehe, don't be surprised. I'm not able to predict the prophet, you have forgotten, I have already sent that Liu Shan to Jingzhou before. Although he himself has not yet returned, as soon as he got this battle report, he immediately sent his subordinates to send it to me before Brother Yan. Cao Cao is my great enemy, and he knows it. Therefore, he must be very concerned about the movements of Cao Cao's army. Jin Jue laughed a few times and explained.

I see, with such an explanation, the big guy is secretly relieved. Thankfully, it wasn't what they had imagined, otherwise it would have been amazing.

"Wen Ze, you tell me the details." The Fifth Patrol asked.

Cao Cao is lustful, for the people who are at the same time as him, especially the scholars who are officials in the same dynasty, it is actually not big news, and the big guys have long known that he has this preference.

It's just that if Cao Cao loses the battle because of a woman, this is big news.

"Here's the thing,......, because that young general fled quickly, therefore, he didn't know too much about the specific losses of Cao Jun, but one thing, he was sure that Cao Cao's general escort Captain Dian Wei had died in battle in order to cover his master's escape." Yan Xiang told the specific situation he had heard, and when he was talking, his eyes were still glued to Jin Jue, as if he wanted to see something on his face.

In Yan Xiang's statement, the reasons and processes of Cao Cao's defeat are not much different from history, and the only difference is time. As for the specific losses, Yan Xiang didn't know much.

The only thing that Jin Jue is worried about is whether Cao Ang is dead, there are not many records about Cao Cao's eldest son in history, what kind of person he is, what his ability is, and future generations can be said to know nothing about this.

Besides, who cares about a person who is already dead?

Why is Jin Jue worried? Because of Cao Pi, if Cao Ang was alive, Cao Pi would not have the possibility of inheriting Cao Cao's foundation at all.

Jin Jue is actually very self-aware, the reason why he chose to follow the old path of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang is because he knows that his wisdom and strategy are not as good as the combination of Cao Cao + the Five Army Divisions, so he took precautions and prepared in advance to defend Hanzhong in order to block Cao Cao's troops.

Compared with Cao Cao, Jin Jue has only two advantages.

First, the traveler's familiarity with the historical process of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In fact, with Jin Jue's continuous incurrence, this advantage has deviated, and over time, this advantage will gradually weaken, or even turn into nothingness.

Second, Jin Jue is more than 20 years younger than Cao Cao. And he is confident that he is stronger than Cao Pi.

Historically, Cao Pi was both a faint monarch and a tyrant, but fortunately, he died after only seven years of reign.

killed heroes, among them, Bao Xun was the most wronged, forced to kill the important ministers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, Cao Hong was almost killed, and Xiahou Shang was forced to die.

"So, Brother Yan, now, what do you have and what do you have plans for?" Jin Jue thought about it, and put aside the worries in his heart for the time being, the so-called Junjie in front of him was a big trouble, he asked deliberately.

"Well, if the virtuous brother doesn't dislike being a brother, the younger brother is willing to serve the virtuous brother." Unexpectedly, Yan Xiang not only changed very quickly, but he was also able to leave his face behind and say his thoughts directly.

This time, it was Jin Jue's turn to be a little embarrassed, he thought about it, looked at the other people present, gritted his teeth and made a decision, and said, "Since this is the case, the little brother is welcome." Brother Yan, come and see, this is Wudu Dao and Shanglu County. Last time, the younger brother marched into the army, forcing five of the seven tribes of the Lower Dao to choose to surrender, but two of them took the opportunity not only to withdraw from the alliance of the seven tribes, but also to move to these two places now.

The younger brother sent his subordinate Liu Gang to lead 3,000 troops to attack Jialing Road, but fortunately succeeded. However, Liu Gang was only a young general before and had no experience in governing the local area, so the younger brother would like to invite you to Jialing Road and temporarily serve as a county leader. Liu Gang is in charge of the military, and you are in charge of all political affairs in Jialing County. This time, I will send another 2,000 men to accompany Brother Yan, and your task is to take at least one of the counties before the autumn harvest next year. How is it? ”

Jin Jue's appointment was nominally to let him go to Jialing Road to serve as a county magistrate, but in fact, he was to serve as a county magistrate, but because Jin Jue had appointed Liu Gang to serve as a county magistrate, it was not easy to change the order overnight, and the people in Jialing Dao City were too scarce, and there were not many government affairs, but the military pressure was relatively large. Liu Gang is more suitable as a county magistrate.

"Good! Brother Wei is willing to accept this appointment. Yan Xiang agreed without thinking about it.

Yan Xiang understands very well that although the official position of the county official is very small, it is a formal state official, and his official position as a county official actually shoulders the responsibility of the county order and can control some government affairs on his own, on the contrary, when he was there Cao Cao before, he was only an auxiliary official at best, and he was not in charge of Cao's affairs.

Which is more important can be weighed by Yan Xiang.

"Hmmm! That's it! Hearing this, the Fifth Patrol nodded with satisfaction.

As a person who has come over, the Fifth Circuit has always hoped that he, the righteous son, can go to the local area to experience and experience first, which is an excellent arrangement. He knew very well that in fact, for Yan Xiang, these young people, too rapid promotion may not be a blessing. If they are allowed to rule a county alone, especially in this troubled world, a moment of negligence will pay the price of life!

Wei Duan also thought the same way, his experience during his tenure in Liangzhou made him understand his shortcomings, and proposed: "Virtuous nephew, you can't favor one over the other!" If there is a chance in the future, let your two brothers also go out to experience and experience. ”
