Chapter 228, Xu Shu returns
Cai Yong has not fallen asleep yet, he is buried in front of the table at the moment, writing the history of the Han Dynasty, for the previous incident of the robbery of the Son of Heaven, Cai Yong did not hide the truth he knew, and wrote it down truthfully.
Zhao Yun drove to the car, first Guo Yan sent troops to intercept in every possible way, and then Tian Feng and Yan Liang sent troops to intercept it, especially Tian Feng, who tried to snatch the Son of Heaven to Jizhou, but there was a conspiracy set by Cao Cao behind it, and finally the Son of Heaven fell into the hands of Cao Cao.
Cai Yong has an upright temperament, as long as he knows it, no matter who it is beneficial or harmful, he doesn't care.
Cai Yong wrote truthfully in the book: "The Son of Heaven was taken away, Zhao Yun also has an unshirkable responsibility, the garrison of the Bishan military camp is insufficient, Jia Xu not only did not send additional heavy troops, but transferred all the troops away, and asked Fang Yue to greet the Son of Heaven with hundreds of soldiers with great fanfare, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of......"
The history of the Han Dynasty is destined to cause a bloody storm in the near future, how can Cao Cao tolerate the truth flowing out; Will Jia Xu let Cai Yong point the finger at Zhao Yun?
Since ancient times, historians have written history without allowing the full truth to be seen in the world, because many unfavorable remarks against the ruler will never be allowed to be seen by the people.
…………
"Military division, in the Guanzhong area, the locust plague is serious at the moment, the people have no harvest, and the spy guards sent out to send back the news, Guo Yan is also anxious and has no choice, and often connives, his subordinates loot and commit murder in Chang'an, and the phenomenon of arresting people and eating meat has also occurred frequently, and the people are full of complaints, and riots and riots occur from time to time."
"Really?"
Jia Xu nodded, although he was inquiring, there was no surprised expression on his face.
Wang Yue replied, "According to the humble position, I think it is an excellent opportunity to send troops to attack Guo Yan now, Guo Yan is now too busy to take care of himself, the people's morale is lost, and the army's morale is unstable, as long as an elite division is dispatched, it will be able to sweep away Guanzhong in one go." ”
Jia Xu was not in a hurry or impatient, his fingers were tapping on the table very rhythmically, and after a while, he looked up at Wang Yue, "Let me ask you, who is the most favored by Guo Yan now?" ”
"Song Guo!"
"Well, you can start with him, give him a lot of money, and try to pull this person to our side, sometimes, the internal force is more effective than the external force!"
"The military advisor is smart, I'll arrange it!"
Wang Yue bowed down and took the order, and withdrew.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh sounded outside the tent, "Mr. Wenhe, I'm back, why don't you come out to greet me?" Don't you feel rude? ”
Jia Xu was slightly stunned for a moment, carefully recognizing the other party's voice, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, "It turned out to be Yuan Zhi, you are really a rare guest." ”
Xu Shu strode calmly into Jia Xu's study, and was not polite, and directly found a small stool and sat down.
Since being rescued by Zhao Yun from Yingchuan, Xu Shu has not stayed by Zhao Yun's side much, and has been studying in Jingzhou for three or four years in a flash.
"Have you seen the lord?" Jia Xu asked.
Xu Shu shook his head, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm almost out of face to see him, is there anything I can do to help, I don't want to be treated as an idle meal." ”
Jia Xu smiled, "Yuan Zhi, you are too humble, although you are not by the lord's side, but you have not contributed less, Wang Yue was recommended by you, and Chen Wang and Liu Pet were also invited by you, just by virtue of these two things, no one can match Yuan Zhi's credit." ”
"No one can match it? Hehe...... Compared to you, I don't think I'm as good as you. ”
Although Xu Shu returned from school, he still retains the habits of the rivers and lakes on his body, acting unrestrained, free and natural, humorous, and dares to give Jia Xu a nickname, calling him an old fox.
After a while, Jia Xu asked, "Are you really in a hurry to find something to do?" ”
"That's still fake, if you have a place for me to speak, when you turn around, I'll have something to say in front of the lord, right?"
"Okay, there is just one thing that needs to be sent to Chang'an right now, since you are here, this matter will be handed over to you, Yuan Zhi will definitely succeed."
Jia Xu's task to Xu Shu was to plot against Song Guo.
Xu Shu didn't think about it, so he agreed, and snapped his fingers with a smile, "Wrap it up on me!" ”
When he went home to see his mother, Xu Shu simply packed up and left Luoyang overnight.
I hurried all the way and came to Chang'an in less than three days.
July fire, heat wave rolling, everywhere bare grass and trees, the steaming heat as if on fire, only a while, sweat will be made slimy and wet from behind, the throat is hoarse and uncomfortable, not to mention people, the mount is also drooping head and weak, slow like a snail, trying to find a ditch for drinking water on the side of the road, it is difficult.
Along the way, I saw everywhere the poor people who had fled with their families and mouths, all of them with yellow and thin faces, full of vegetables, and the thin ones were almost inhuman, leaving only lifeless skins.
Xu Shu's heart was like a heavy lead, depressed and depressed, such a tragic situation could not be seen at least in Jingzhou, compared with Xiangyang, it was simply one above the nine heavens and the other under the eighteenth layer of hell.
After entering the city, the streets were deserted, although the weather was very hot and sweaty, but Xu Shu felt a chill in his heart inexplicably.
The huge Chang'an City, lifeless, few pedestrians, most of the houses on the side of the road are closed, even in broad daylight, it makes people feel like they are haunted, eerie and terrifying, making people feel cold all over the body.
Xu Shu sighed, Chang'an was originally much stronger than Luoyang, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang into ruins, although Chang'an was dilapidated, at least decent, but now, under Zhao Yun's governance, Luoyang has been transformed and regained its vitality and vitality, and Chang'an, under the destruction of Guo Yan and others, has become chaotic.
Xu Shu finally found an inn to live in, but as soon as he stayed in the hotel, the shopkeeper came to collect the money.
Xu Shu wondered in his heart, "Why is this, can't you believe me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to run away?" ”
The shopkeeper said with a sad face, "This son, you don't know, now the little poor are about to close, no matter how many days you live, you have to pay in advance, and I can't afford to pay for a day." ”
The life of the shopkeeper is not easy, and there are few guests staying in the store this year, and they are almost unable to sustain it, Xu Shu nodded sympathetically, "Okay, then it won't be difficult for you." ”
Xu Shu paid the money, the shopkeeper thanked him for his kindness, turned around and went to the rice store, the price of grain in Chang'an has risen wildly, once the grain rice has risen to 500,000 yuan, once the bean wheat is 200,000 yuan.
And the rally shows no signs of stopping, like a runaway stock market, skyrocketing.
After Xu Shu settled down, he learned some about the local situation with others, especially Guo Yan's garrison, I heard that they are now stationed in Beiwu, and Song Guo has a mansion in the city.
Xu Shu made up his mind and decided to visit Song Guo that night.
