"This matter must not be, the general is the important minister of the country, the government of the country, known as the prestige, although recently suffered a small setback, but still does not reduce the name of loyalty to the monarch and auxiliary country. Therefore, the general's mansion is unremittingly inward, and the loyal generals forget themselves outside, all in order to follow the general's great virtue, report to the Son of Heaven, and go down to Anlishu. ”

"If the general abolishes the office without permission, I am afraid that the prestige that has been accumulated with great difficulty in the past will fall to the ground in one fell to the ground. When the time comes, the people will be centrifuged internally and externally, the people will betray morality, and the world will attack it, if this is the case, it will be too late to regret it when it comes! ”

Pei Ji's words were sincere, and the color of worry was overflowing, if Yan Xing insisted on going his own way, he was afraid that he would rush up and grab Yan Xing's armor, and he would not hesitate to anger Yan Xing and give a direct admonition.

Yan Xing listened to Pei Ji's words, the expression on his face did not fluctuate, his eyes turned from Pei Ji to Jia Xu, and seeing Jia Xu's silent and contemplative appearance, he asked in a loud voice:

"Wen Hegong?"

"Huh?"

Jia Xu looked at Yan Xing with some surprise, as if he had only realized Yan Xing's words now.

"What are you thinking about when you don't say anything?"

Yan Xing didn't care about Pei Ji, who was in a hurry to advise, but looked at Jia Xu with interest with blazing eyes.

Jia Xu's goatee under his chin trembled, and after a while he said slowly:

"What I was thinking about just now was Dong Gong in the first year of Chuping."

"Haha!" Yan Xing couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jia Xu's warning.

At this critical juncture, it is not a good sign to think of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo almost experienced the same thing back then, and the people's hearts were scattered and collapsed, which caused the power of the Xiliang Army to decline day by day, and finally went to ruin step by step.

But after laughing, Yan Xing also became serious again, he waved his hand, and told Pei Ji:

"Wen Heng, you already know what you mean, you will think twice, you rushed to Mianchi at the same time, you must be tired, go down and rest first!"

"General!"

Seeing that Yan Xing wanted to let him go down first, Pei Ji couldn't help but want to persuade him again, but Yan Xing ignored him anymore, and after seeing Jia Xu's suggestive gaze, he thought of the scene of asking Jia Xu for advice on the road when he came, thought about it, and finally bowed his head and saluted, retired and turned out of the big tent.

After Pei Ji left, Yan Xing looked at Jia Xu, smiled, and invited the old Jia Xu to take a seat, while he himself got up and stood up, slowly walked to the middle of the big tent, stood with his hands in his hands, and said indifferently:

"In fact, Zhicai, Gongda and others also openly and secretly disagree with Lone's deposition as today's son, Gongda didn't say much, Zhicai did dig out his heart and analyze with Lone, he suggested that Lone take a step back and give up the Son of Heaven and the court to Cao Mengde of Yanzhou."

"Since the general is reluctant to talk about the speaker who suggested the deposition of the Son of Heaven, and instead talked about the suggestions of the two of them, the drama sacrifice wine and the Xun sacrifice wine, then he must have made a preliminary decision in his heart, but he doesn't know what the general's internal concerns are?"

Jia Xu, who was seated, also looked as usual and asked straight to the point.

Yan Xing nodded, and continued:

Zhicai believes that Cao Mengde has the heart of being alone and has won the Son of Heaven, and he is too busy to take care of himself, so he will only get married to Hedong and protect Yan and Yu. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou were retreated, and the soldiers and horses of Yecheng were unprofitable and had nothing to take advantage of. ”

"Lonely is not a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat, only knows the fly camp, but worries about two things, one is how Cao Mengde, who has won the Son of Heaven, will deal with Hedong, and the other is that Hebei is overwhelming, and the interior of the river is going to rush, and he often wants to take it for himself, knowing that there will be a big war in Guanzhong, and seeing Yanzhou retreating, he may not be willing to retreat!"

Good advice, from planning to deliberation, and finally to implementation, has always been the whole process of collective wisdom, each advisor has his own strengths, but also has his own shortcomings, and everyone is looking at many things with obvious prejudices and limitations.

At this time, what Yan Xing needed to do was to mobilize the advisers around him to check and fill in the gaps, and try to complete a decision-making that maximized benefits, which was not a foolproof strategy.

Yan Xing didn't believe that there were perfect strategies in the world, and those so-called perfect strategies were just the drawbacks of the defects hidden at the bottom, and the past was deliberately ignored.

And in this process, Yan Xing is not stubborn, Xi Zhicai thinks more and farther than Zhou Liang, and after Yan Xing thinks about it, he is also willing to follow the advice.

After all, in the nearly a year of controlling the Son of Heaven in his hands, Yan Xing also saw clearly the pros and cons of "name and weapon", and controlling the Son of Heaven and the imperial court did bring him a lot of benefits, but it also brought many hidden dangers to the Hedong camp, some of which still have a long-term and far-reaching impact.

After Yan Xing thought it through, he did not resist giving up the young Son of Heaven who was about to move, but before making a final decision, he had to consider some aftermath consequences.

After making this decision, what will happen to Cao Cao? What will happen to Yuan Shao?

After Jia Xu seriously thought about Yan Xing's question, he began to say frankly:

"The drama sacrificial wine is planned for the general, and there may be a slight omission, but it is generally acceptable."

"Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Hedong have no urgency to fight for land, if they really want to unite with Yuan Shao and attack Hedong, they are afraid that they will send troops to knock on the pass early in the morning, and there is no need to send envoys again and again, coercion and temptation."

"Therefore, Xu agrees with the assertion that after Cao Cao gets the Son of Heaven, he will only form an alliance with Hedong, turn to Donggu, and consolidate the foundation of Yan and Henan Prefectures."

"In the future, I may choose another opportunity to reduce the general's name and use the name of the court to restrain the general, but that is also a matter for the future."

"If the general can't solve the current predicament in Kanto and Kansai, and Cao Cao can't hold the Son of Heaven and the court in the Central Plains, then the situation in the world will inevitably be turned upside down, and today's affairs must be talked about separately, what's the use of worrying about these?"

"As for the retreat of Yuan Shao's soldiers, the sacrificial wine is indeed a bit presumptuous. In the past, the Kansai army was strong, Zhang Yang was weak, Hanoi could be used as a buffer place, and Yuan Shao was not in a hurry to attack. But now that Guanzhong is in turmoil, Zhang Yang has been destroyed, and Yecheng is on the verge of Hanoi, so it is necessary to take it for himself in order to be able to feel at ease with the outside world. ”

"The drama sacrificial wine thinks that Hanoi is strong and clear, and the Yuan army has nothing to take advantage of, so it will retreat, and this point cannot be attached, and I think that we should find another way to retreat Yuan Shao's army!"

"Wen Hegong, is there a good plan?"

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Yan Xing secretly sighed Jiang Gui's nature, old and strong, although Jia Xu is more than half a hundred years old, but the years have not weakened his resourcefulness, his thinking is still agile, and his vision is also sharp, which also makes Yan Xing have more expectations, wanting to know if Jia Xu has any better suggestions for retreating Yuan Shao's soldiers.

Jia Xu is obviously more familiar with the affairs of Kanto than Kanto, and in terms of Kanto's suggestions, his understanding of Yuan Shao's forces is not necessarily more far-reaching than that of Xi Zhicai, and he didn't want to put his beak in it, but he had already expressed his attitude just now, but it was not good to refuse Yan Xing's request again.

He thought about it for a long time before he muttered and said:

"At present, in Yin, Henan, there are three forces that can get involved in Hedong, Yecheng, and Yanzhou, which are like a full momentum, combining vertical and horizontal, and interfering with each other. Since Cao Cao wanted to use Yuan Shao's momentum to welcome the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Shao wanted to use Cao Cao's momentum to attack Hanoi, then in retreating Yuan Shao's troops, the general might as well think about whether he could also borrow Cao Cao's momentum to welcome the Son of Heaven. ”

"Borrowing Cao Cao's momentum?"

Yan Xing touched the short mustache under his chin and muttered.

···

After some conversation with Jia Xu, Yan Xing has an obvious decisive tendency in dealing with the dilemma of Kwantung, although in the end in the retreat of Yuan Shao's troops, Jia Xu did not give a specific strategy, but he provided a good idea, maybe Hedong can also borrow Cao Mengde's momentum from Cao Cao's flattery of the Son of Heaven.

At the end of the conversation, thinking of ceding the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to Cao Cao, as well as thinking of Cao Cao's various achievements in history, Yan Xing still couldn't help but feel a little worried, but this worry in his heart couldn't be expressed at the moment, so he had to sit down again, and said to Jia Xu with a wry smile:

"Looking back on this matter, I really responded to the words of the former Han Yangxiong's 'Six Kingdoms, for the weak Ji', united Duan Gong, attacked Li Dao, Guo Yan and other strong enemies, and rebelled in the near Ping Yang Ding, Zhang Xiu, etc., and the good ministers and fierce generals took turns to fight, and finally won the Son of Heaven, but they also fought in Guanzhong, and the generals were either destroyed or injured.

"All parties fought back and forth, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in money and grain, but now it's good, let Cao Mengde take advantage of the weakness, spend tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass, and lose hundreds of soldiers, and easily welcome the Son of Heaven."

"If this Cao Mengde is ruling the world, it would be a pity to be a capable minister, it is better to be a businessman, and he will definitely become a wealthy businessman like Tao Zhu and Yidun!"

Seeing that the dignified hussar general had no majesty, he complained like an ordinary person in front of him, and uttered words of disobedience, unaware. willfully compared the Son of Heaven to a strange commodity, and said that the things related to the general trend of the world, such as sweeping away strong enemies, welcoming the Son of Heaven, and moving the imperial court to the east, were things that must be compared by the merchants in the market.

is as serious as Jia Xu, and he can't help but smile with his old face.

Just after chuckling, thinking of the three forces of Hedong, Yecheng, and Yanzhou In this competition, Cao Cao's own strength is not the strongest, and the first soldiers are not the most profitable, but he can be good at taking advantage of the close relationship with Yuan Shao, taking advantage of the situation, causing this big momentum, and the means operated by the follow-up Fengying Son of Heaven are also clever and almost impeccable.

Jia Xu had to sigh in his heart, this lord of Yanzhou is also a brilliant master!

After Yan Xing finished laughing at himself, he kept his eyes on Jia Xu, and at this time, he noticed a slight change in Jia Xu's face, Yan Xing couldn't help asking:

"Wen He Gong is in the middle of the service, an important position in the palace province, if the Son of Heaven returns to Yanzhou, I don't know Wen He Gong, where will he go?"

Yan Xing's words were very direct, his attitude had already been revealed when Jia Xu came to vote, and it was also obvious at this time, which couldn't help but make Jia Xu silent again, he lowered his head, and remembered the lingering edge of the young Tianzi who had been dormant for a long time that night.

"If the servant walks out of this palace, I may not be the Son of Heaven, but you will never be Han Chen again!"

What a good year, what a good intelligence, it's a pity!

When he raised his head again, Jia Xu's eyes revealed a wisdom and determination that had been impregnated with age.

"The bird flies back to its hometown, and the fox will die on the first hill. I am old and decrepit, and I am willing to stay in Sanhe and not go back to the east! ”
