Jia Xu declined Yan Xing's solicitation!

This made Yan Xing, who was very interested, a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere in the room became tense.

In all fairness, Jia Xu, who used to be a marquis and a reward of 2,000 stones, is now an ordinary scholar who no longer has an official lord.

And Changshi, as the highest-ranking adjutant in the Hussar General's Mansion, under the command of Yan Xing, can only be served by a strict grant who has made great contributions to Hedong.

For Jia Xu, Yan Xing's history of marching chiefs is not insignificant, and his status in the Hussar General's Mansion is only strictly awarded by the Governor of Liufu. If it is a march to fight, Jia Xu, who is a staff officer of the army, is even higher than Xi Zhicai and Xun You, who serve as military advisors, in some terms of authority.

But although Jia Xu knew this, he still politely refused.

In his words, how could he, who was long and faint, be able to assume such a high position as the marching chief of the hussar general when he first arrived?

Moreover, the Luoyang Imperial Court issued an edict to recruit virtuous people from all over the world to enter Beijing, but the Hussar General's Mansion expelled all the best talents from the palace, which may attract more people to criticize Yan Xing's behavior of holding the Son of Heaven hostage and exercising grace and authority.

Although Jia Xu is useless, he still has some prestige, and he thinks that he can help the hussar general in this point, and is willing to enter the palace to serve the edict by the side of the Son of Heaven, which can not only help the hussar general correct the mistakes of the Son of Heaven, but also reduce those remarks that are not conducive to Yan Xing's rule.

After Yan Xing listened to Jia Xu's words, he was silent, and thought seriously about Jia Xu's words with a calm face.

Jia Xu did not enter the Hussar General's Mansion and turned to the palace to serve the edict, which has advantages and disadvantages for the overall situation, but which is more important cannot be concluded lightly for a while.

And Jia Xu is also a person who is old-fashioned. In addition to serving as Taiwei Peng at the beginning, most of the time he held the official position of the imperial court, not a close assistant under Dong Zhuo or Li Dao, and even when necessary, he would say that he was sick and returned the seal awarded by the imperial court.

Although the ministers are strong, they can change one stubble after another, although the son of Han Tianzi is humiliated, he is still the son of Han Tianzi, Jia Xu understands this, so he has experienced many court coups, but he can still protect himself and advance and retreat freely.

has lived to Jia Xu's age, coupled with his intelligence and experience, he will not be easily blinded by fame and fortune and wealthy women, and he will not rashly choose to take sides until the situation is clear and all the dust settles.

Yan Xing could also feel this from Xun You. Although he is still in the old capital to protect the Son of Heaven, he is a very popular minister, and he is in charge of the government, but with the lessons of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, the attitude of the people of the world towards himself is still mixed.

This is not opportunistic, it is just a rational choice of a wise man in troubled times. Just like the Hedong Pei family, who has now become a family with him, when he only controlled half of the Hedong territory, he was also close to himself, but he did not clearly work for himself.

In the end, Yan Xing agreed to Jia Xu's request, and he would play a recommendation and ask the Son of Heaven to recruit Jia Xu into the palace as a chamberlain, but he also arranged for Jia Xu to participate in the military title of the Hussar General's Mansion. When necessary, you still need to ask Jia Xu, the old fox, to give him advice.

After solving Hongnong's whereabouts with Jia Xu, Yan Xing devoted himself to the busy military and political affairs in a blink of an eye.

Among them, the most important thing is naturally the military affairs of the westward expedition to Li Dao and the recovery of Guanzhong.

After the wheat is harvested in May and the summer grain is put into storage in June, Yan Xing will go to the imperial court and ask the edict to grant the general Duan Xuan of the Son of Heaven to lead the army to the west to conquer Guanzhong, and crusade against the traitor Li Dao, who is struggling to survive in Chang'an City.

Although the march after the autumn can reduce a lot of burden on the soldiers and civilians of Sanhe, in order to prevent Ma Teng and Han Sui, who are high in autumn and fat, from intervening in Guanzhong, Yan Xing must send troops early to control the land of Sanfu first.

In order to avoid the outbreak of diseases in the army, the rear needs to make a lot of preparations in advance, and to formulate a strategy for the western expeditionary army, and the military division also needs to do enough homework in advance, these things are not sloppy, Yan Xingdu is already preparing to leave Beijing for Hedong, and personally command the preparation of the rear affairs of the western expeditionary army.

Luoyang City, post house.

As the envoy of Yanzhou to the Hajj to see the Son of Heaven, Wang Bi was kneeling in front of the desk in the inner room at this time.

Loyal to Cao Cao and diligent in official affairs, in addition to taking advantage of the convenience of entering the Hajj to contact the indignant ministers of the court, he also took the opportunity to probe the envoys from other Kanto prefectures and counties who also went to Luoyang City, and found out the attitude of the pastors of other Kanto prefectures and counties towards the current Ruoyang court.

As for the rest of the time, Wang Bi did not dare to stop slacking off for a moment, and he had to write down the inside information he had discovered from Luoyang City in a letter, and report it to Cao Cao, who had returned to Yanzhou, in a timely and detailed manner.

This involves the information conveyed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as the attitude of the pastors of other prefectures and counties in the Kanto region towards the Yuyang court.

Judging from the attitude of the Kwantung Prefecture towards the Luoyang Imperial Court, as far as Wang Bi knew, the Luoyang Imperial Court under the control of Yan Xing, who was born in the Liangzhou Army, was actually not very well received by the shepherds of other states and counties in the Kwantung Prefecture.

Although Yuan Shao of Yecheng sent an envoy, he did not come to meet the Son of Heaven, but came to contact Yan Xing in the land of three rivers, after all, the two sides had a brief exchange of troops before, although because of the different directions of the two sides, there will be no fierce military conflict for the time being, but the strong neighbor is on the side, and it is still necessary to properly release goodwill and eliminate the misunderstanding that exists.

Yuan Shu of Huainan is said to have shown his disobedience in his words and deeds as early as after hearing about the eastern hunt of the Chang'an court, so although Huainan has recently regained momentum, he did not send an envoy over, showing a disdainful attitude towards the Luoyang court.

Liu Bei of Xuzhou claimed to be a descendant of the Han family, and it stands to reason that he should send an envoy to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven, but this year, Xuzhou swords and soldiers continued, first Xiapi was attacked by Lu Bu who was exiled in Xuzhou, and then was broken by Yuan Shujun in Guangling, Liu Bei drifted away, and he still does not know whether it is life and death, and Lu Bu, who succeeded in charge of Xuzhou, has a big enmity with the Xiliang Army and Yan Xing, so naturally he will not send an envoy to Beijing to meet him.

As for the shepherds of the counties in Yangzhou, they were in a scuffle at this time, and it seemed that no one still had the heart to pay attention to the changes in the Central Plains, so no one sent an envoy to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven.

In the final analysis, in the entire Kanto, only two forces recognized the Luoyang court under the control of Yan Xing, and sent envoys to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven in a proper manner.

One is Cao Cao from Yanzhou, and the other is Liu Biao from Jingzhou.

Compared with Yanzhou's slight expression, Jingzhou's Liu Biao seems to be wealthy. I don't know what Zhao Qi, the servant of the envoy to Jingzhou, discussed with Liu Biao, Liu Biao sent an envoy to Beijing this time, not only to transport grain and grass, to transport timber, but also to send a large number of civilian servants and craftsmen to help the Son of Heaven build the Luoyang Palace, but also accompanied by an army of 2,000 people.

It's a pity that this army of 2,000 people and horses can't change the situation that Yan Xing's family is dominant in Luoyang City and covers the sky with one hand, and the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou can only camp outside the city after they come, and they will always be monitored by the soldiers and horses of Hedong, it is obvious that these two thousand men and horses can't make any waves in Luoyang City.

However, from a small perspective and a glimpse of the whole leopard, Wang Bi also saw the delicate situation in the Luoyang court from a series of actions of Liu Biao, who was a relative of the Han family.

In Luoyang City, although Yan Xing's power is to cover the sky with one hand, the ministers of the Son of Heaven in the court are not willing to be a puppet in peace, thinking of the previous earth-shaking coups in the Chang'an court, the king must know that the opportunity for his own side has come.

The more unwilling the Son of Heaven and his ministers were, the more they wanted to rely on external forces to intervene in order to get rid of and overthrow the control of Yan Xing's side, which can also be detected from the contacts with the ministers of the DPRK and China in the past two days.

The hearts of the ministers were ready to move, and they secretly wrestled with Yan Xing, who was in charge of the court, which was of great help to Cao Cao's next actions.

Thinking of this, Wang Bi became even more emotional, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and sped up his hand, wanting to write all this into the letter and report it to Cao Cao one by one.

At that moment, the door to the inner room creaked open.

ps: As the long history of Cao Cao's overlordship, the infamous Wang Bi in history played a pivotal role in Cao Cao's camp and was also one of Cao Cao's most trusted henchmen.

Quoting Cao Cao's "Biwang Bi Ling": "The leader Shi Wang Bi is the official when I overcome thorns." Loyal and diligent, the heart is like iron stone, and the good officials of the country are also. The fall has not been cleared for a long time, and the sacrifice is multiplied, and it is more desirable? Therefore, the teaching has been refuted, and it is appropriate to sign it, so it will lead the history of the affairs as before. ”
