Hongnong, Huxian.

In view of the practical needs of the Luoyang court, recently the city of Luoyang began to build a large number of buildings, the construction of palaces, although it is impossible to build the north and south two palaces, the three princes' mansions, and the hundred official residences on a large scale as in the time of Chengping, but at least it is necessary to build the front dynasty and the apse, the official office of the minister.

The small palace of the Son of Heaven will be built on the foundation of the original North Palace of Luoyang, and the official office of the Minister of Justice will be built on both sides of the original Tongluo Street.

As the hero of the Son of Heaven in the west, Duan Xuan, the general of Zhengxi who is second only to Yan Xing, also has a special land in the city to build a general's mansion for him, but Duan Xuan did not live in Luoyang City, but chose to stay in his own military camp outside the city.

After the matter of adding officials to the court of Luoyang came to an end, Duan Xuan even said, "The Son of Heaven should be with the world, and the court has its own ministers. In the name of Xiang Tianzi, Yan Xing and others, he led the army back to Hongnong County.

In the final analysis, Duan Xuan was still a little angry in his heart.

Hongnong and Hedong are jointly sent to the west to welcome the Son of Heaven, Hongnong soldiers and horses are also in the defeat of Li Dao's army, quelling Zhang Xiu's rebellion in the middle of the great contribution, before their own position is above Yan Xing, now after welcoming the Son of Heaven and returning to the eastern capital, the civil and military forces of the Hedong family have all been promoted to knighthood, in contrast, the people and horses of the Hongnong family are much more cold.

This is the crux of Duan Xuan's heart.

Of course, although Duan Xuan left a little angrily, he had no intention of tearing his face with the soldiers and horses of Hedong.

This is because, unconsciously, Hongnong County has been surrounded by soldiers and horses in Hedong.

To the north of Hongnong is Hedong County, which is separated by a river, to the east is Henan Yin under Pei Qian's rule, and to the west is Huayin City, which is garrisoned by Zhang Liao, a general from Hedong.

In addition to the Taihua Mountain Range in the south, the east, west, and north are all soldiers and horses under the command of Yan Xing.

Therefore, as long as Duan Xuan's mind still retains the last trace of sobriety, he has no confidence to turn his face at all.

It's just that it is not so simple to let the veteran Duan Xuan be subservient like this, Duan Xuan returned to Hongnong County with the idea of hibernation and forbearance, waiting for the times to change.

He planned to follow the example of Hedong, with enough troops and enough food, and also issued decrees such as the Tuntian Order, the Official Salt and Iron Order, the Prohibition of Alcohol, and the Settlement Decree in Hongnong, but how to implement it specifically still requires a government talent to operate it for him.

This is also the reason why he is in a hurry to rush back to Hongnong.

Jia Xu is here!

When Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, Song Guo and others took Li Dao away and took control of Chang'an City, because Jia Xu had advised Li Dao many times before, sheltered the Son of Heaven and some ministers, he was not characterized as Li Dao's party like Li Zhen, Zuo Ling, Hu Miao, etc., and was killed by Dong Cheng.

At the same time, because Jia Xu was resourceful and well-known, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others also wanted to ask him to be their mastermind and assist them in taking charge of the government.

But Jia Xu had a brilliant vision, and he also saw the luck of Yang, Dong and others in raising troops, so he said that he couldn't get sick, but he took precautions in private, and began to secretly send his family to Hongnong Duan to seek refuge.

After Li Wei led the Youfufeng army back to Chang'an, because Jia Xu did not participate in the rebellion of Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others, he was not innocently implicated.

It's just that Li Wei insisted on chasing after the Son of Heaven, and after Jia Xu's dissuasion failed, he let it go and turned to seek a way out for himself.

As a result, Li Dao's army caught up with the Son of Heaven near the Hongnong land, but was immediately defeated by the Hongnong-Hedong coalition army, and the soldiers were scattered, with many casualties, and Li Dao himself fled back to Chang'an City in embarrassment.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that even if Li Dao, who had returned from defeat, could gather some remnants of the defeated soldiers, he would only be able to survive.

After this winter, at the beginning of spring next year, there will be strong enemies from Longyou, Hedong, Hongnong and other places, under the banner of killing Li Dao's rebellion, and strive to fight for this piece of fat in Guanzhong.

So, Jia Xu, who never stood under the dangerous wall, quietly left Li Wei, hid his whereabouts, and came to Hongnong County.

This is nothing less than great news for Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan has long envied the abundance of talents in Hedong, and the good ministers and fierce generals are listed together, especially the Wenchen strategists Yan Zhu and Xi Zhicai under Yan Xing.

Strict administration of Hedong made Hedong under the rule of Yan Xing full of food and food, all industries were prosperous, and the drama was able to strategize, so that the army temple under Yan Xing's command was the first to win and the soldiers were meritorious.

If you also have such good ministers to help, why don't you be able to make contributions!

It just so happens that Jia Xu, who came here this time, has both the talent for governance and the opportunity for planning.

Duan Xuan hoped that he could help him, give political advice to the people, and make suggestions so that Hongnong could also have enough food and drink and win many battles.

It's just that Duan Xuan is also a veteran who survived in the territory of thousands of troops and horses and the treacherous court after all, and under the appearance of Sixian and thirsty, he also has a little guard in his heart, and he does not intend to hand over military and political affairs to Jia Xu at the beginning.

Jia Xu served as the captain of Pingjin and the captain of the school, and also led soldiers and horses, and then served as the post of Shangshu, governing Taiwan Province, plus he himself is resourceful, and he also has some friendship with Yan Xing in Hedong, Duan Xuan is really afraid that he will hand over Hongnong's military and political power to him, and he will be hollowed out of power in a blink of an eye, and even sell himself to Hedong.

Therefore, Duan Xuan still needs to test Jia Xu's mind first, and then make a decision.

In a simple and orderly inner room, with a desk and two seats, Duan Xuan and Jia Xu sat opposite each other and talked for a long time.

Duan Xuan, who was born in a general door and is also fluent in literature and ink, looked at Jia Xu, who was talking and laughing calmly, and finally made up his mind, and asked Jia Xu in a deep voice:

"Wenhe, if it falls apart today, all the heroes are lost, heroes from all over the country flock up, the strong cross states and counties, and the weak divide the cities. Hongnong to a county land, less than 10,000 soldiers, will not be more than ten, but the lonely ambition is still unfinished, often think about reporting to the Son of Heaven, under An Lishu, meritorious service, Zuo Guo and the people, Jia Jun is the countryman of the world, there will be to teach me! ”

Jia Xu's eyelids moved slightly when he heard this, and he had just noticed a trace of ambition from Duan Xuan's gaze, but he smiled, flicked his sleeves and said:

"Duan Gong, if there is chaos today, but the Son of Heaven is smart, Duan Gong and Yan Hussar are both loyal ministers who protect the country, the monarchs and ministers know each other, and the Han Dynasty is rejuvenated, and it is returned to the old capital, which is the great cause of the country and the people. As for the politics of Hongnong, when he first arrived, he really didn't dare to discuss it. ”

Seeing that Jia Xu deliberately avoided it, how could Duan Xuan end it, he pressed the impatience in his heart, chose to get straight to the point, and continued to ask:

"For several years, Hedong in addition to the old cloth new, the government decree is great, its valley is abundant, its soldiers are sharp, so Yan Hussar only to a county of land, turn to the east and west, but the more the war is stronger, then the east to destroy Zhang Yang, the west to break Li Dao, according to the land of the three rivers, the Xiongnu subjugated, Qiang Hu Ying from, Xihe, Shangjun for the fence. It has a crowd of Han and Hushi horses, and it can compete with the world's heroes. Hongnong also intends to follow suit, I don't know if it can? ”

Having said this, Duan Xuan no longer concealed his ambitions, his eyes were blazing, staring directly at Jia Xu, but Jia Xu was under Duan Xuan's gaze, but he did not move like a mountain, he thought about it for a while, and then said:

"Follow the example of Hedong, this is a good strategy!"

"Now Hedong is strong, Hong Nongli is bent, Wen He first entrusted his wife, and then came to vote, this is not God's good minister and Lonely! Lone intends to use Wenhe as a supplement to help Lone Bu strengthen the government and strengthen the army, I don't know what Wenhe means? ”

Hearing that Jia Xu also agreed with his idea of emulating Hedong, Duan Xuan was immediately overjoyed, and he looked at Jia Xu with more concern, on the one hand, he sincerely hoped that Jia Xu could help him, and on the other hand, he quietly tested Jia Xu's position with his wife and children.

After listening to Duan Xuan's words, Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long time, he opened them again and asked:

"I have a question, I don't know if Duke Duan knows the age of Yan Huqi?"

"It's the year of its establishment."

"Then if Xu is not mistaken, Duan Gong is already fifty-five years old this year."

"What does Wen He mean by this, he is lonely and old, and he is no match for children?"

Duan Xuan felt that he was being slighted, and looked at Jia Xu with some anger, even his gray beard trembled.

Jia Xu shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Duan Gongcai, how dare you despise it. It's just that Confucius also has the sigh of 'the deceased is like Sifu, reluctant to give up day and night', now Duan Gong is more than half a hundred years old, and he is close to the age of the mandate of heaven. ”

Listening to Jia Xu's words, the indignation, the desire to win, and the ambition mixed in Duan Xuan's chest seemed to have been hit hard, and it collapsed in an instant, shattering to the ground.

His lips were tightly closed, his gray beard trembling slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

Regardless of Hedong's next actions for the time being, just as Hongnong imitates Hedong, the time has been opened for several years, and the territory is a few counties apart, can he really compete with Yan Xing in Hedong up and down the government and the opposition.

Even if he can really rely on the land of Hongnong County to establish a great cause and fight against Yan Xing in Hedong, but he is already over half a hundred years old, and he can only last for more than ten years at most.

That huge inheritance is enough to bury the descendants of his family several times.

This is the reason why Jia Xu, who is about to know the destiny of heaven, is unwilling to plan for Hongnong and compete with the world, he is no longer young, even if he does not consider the strength of Hongnong and Hedong, he also needs to think about it for his future generations.

Duan Xuan's heart was mixed at this time, his thoughts were already chaotic, he could only close his eyes, clench his fists, search hard in the dark, and make a difficult choice.

After a long time, Duan Xuan's fist, which was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, slowly let go, and he opened his eyes again.

He got up and left his seat, sighed, looked at the beams of the roof, and said:

"It's just that the day before yesterday, I witnessed the battle in Luoyang, and left Beijing angrily, not complicit with Yan Hussar, I'm afraid that between Hongnong and Hedong, there is already a rift, and it's too late to stop at this time?"
