The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as soon as Jia Xu arrived in Wancheng, he gave Zhuge Liang a dismount, which not only solved the crisis at the west gate of Wancheng, but also burned Liu Bei's camp, so that Liu Bei had to choose another location to set up camp. And after Zhuge Liang learned that his opponent had become Jia Xu, his attitude was no longer as relaxed as before.

For the "great enemy of life", whether it is Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, they attach great importance to it, and those capable people around Liu Xie, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will naturally not let go of their attention. Among them, Jia Xu is one of the people that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang focus on.

If you use an idiom to describe Jia Xu, it is a scheming. This person knows the way to advance and retreat, and is proficient in the art of self-preservation. At first, he asked Liu Xie to "invite" someone to his side to give him advice, but Jia Xu still had some reservations and did not regard Liu Xie as a person who could be assisted. But with the understanding of Liu Xie, especially Liu Xie's appointment as the pastor of Liangzhou despite the public opinion, Jia Xu can be regarded as recognizing Liu Xie's lordship.

Jia Xu is like a chameleon, very good at blending into the surrounding environment. To put it bluntly, he will change his attitude towards people and things at any time with the change of his lord. It seems a little ugly to say this, but this is the case, I think when Jia Xu was serving under Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu found that Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, and it was expected that this power would not last long, so he only served as a staff member under Niu Zhuo's account to mix some money and food to survive.

If it weren't for Wang Yun's vow to liquidate the Xiliang Army in the romance, Jia Xu would not have offered advice to Li Dao Guo Yan in order to protect himself and help him defeat Lu Bu. When Zhang Xiu was doing things under him, Zhang Xiu obeyed his words, but Jia Xu found that Zhang Xiu was not the master who could ensure the safety of his life, so he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao when Cao Cao was conquest of Zhang Xiu, but he couldn't show his ability, so Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled. As for saying that Zhang Xiu rebelled because his uncle was angry with Cao Cao, the author doesn't believe it anyway.

After "getting his wish" under Cao Cao's command, Jia Xu found that Cao Cao was suspicious, and he changed hands many times, and it was very difficult to gain his trust. So he did the opposite and kept a low profile, but Cao Cao always asked and had something to say, so Cao Cao attached great importance to Jia Xu's opinion, and slowly began to trust Jia Xu.

But Liu Xie is not Cao Cao, he has not learned the art of the emperor from later generations, and he is just a poor dick in later generations, he has not lived a real aristocratic life, so naturally he will not have any aristocratic temperament. And after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to get rid of the fate that was unfavorable to him, Liu Xie's performance was naturally not like a human king in the eyes of many people.

Aristocratic temperament and imperial demeanor are not something that can be cultivated by drinking a few cups of coffee, eating a few Western meals, or reading a few famous books. If you really want to develop an aristocratic demeanor, it takes at least three generations to learn how to dress and eat. But before Liu Xie became the son of Han Tianzi, he was just a poor dick who was busy supporting his family.

Since you don't pretend to be like it, then simply don't pretend. Liu Xie didn't know how to win people's hearts, but he firmly believed in the four words of treating people with sincerity. You live up to me, I live up to you. In his attitude towards Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu, Liu Xie has always adhered to one word of sincerity.

Perhaps in the future generations, being sincere will be respected in front of others, and stupid in the future. But in ancient times, when ethics and morality were not completely lost, people still attached great importance to the word sincerity. In later generations, laughing at the poor did not laugh at prostitutes, but in ancient times, they laughed at prostitutes but did not laugh at poverty. While material life has been greatly improved, people's moral limits seem to be constantly changing. We cannot but admit that the material life of ancient people is indeed not as rich as that of modern people, but on the spiritual level, modern people are indeed not as good as ancient people.

Liu Xie was very lucky, he chose the right one and treated him with sincerity. not only allowed him to get the loyalty of a large number of advisers and fierce generals, but also made his good reputation of "cherishing talents" known to the world. Although his performance is still not as good as that of a human king, he has a large number of die-hard loyalists who are willing to die for him.

People must learn to hide clumsy, rely on their identity to act willfully, and be arrogant and domineering will generally not end up with any good results. And a person is not able to be proficient in everything, there are always good and bad at it, and appropriately give the opportunity to perform to subordinates, which is also a skill that must be learned as a leader. You are proficient in everything, wise and martial, so what do you need your subordinates to do? Wouldn't it be nice to find a bunch of echo worms to fight the world. But is that realistic?

Liu Xie never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients! Don't look at the later generations when they read books, they think that the ancients used tricks like that, but the bystanders know that we are all looking at this matter from God's point of view, and we can naturally see many things that the people involved cannot know. It's like being deceived, and the deception is just like that, not taking it seriously before being fooled, and then thinking about it after being fooled, you will regret it, and secretly scolding yourself for why you were so stupid at that time, it is a truth, and the authorities are confused.

The historical trend that Liu Xie knows has now completely lost any reference value, and what Liu Xie can rely on now is those capable people who were recruited by him in advance. For not recruiting Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie had some regrets. But it's just a pity that Zhuge Liang in Romance is described as a wise man who is almost a demon, but through chatting with Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others, Liu Xie found that Zhuge Liang is not as perfect as described in history. After having Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and other advisers who did not lose or even surpassed Zhuge Liang in terms of wisdom and strategy, Liu Xie's desire for Zhuge Liang would naturally not be so strong. Just like Guo Jia, who worked for Cao Cao, Liu Xie didn't feel anything more than regretful.

If you don't have the spirit of a king, don't learn from others to shake, it is easy to be misunderstood as a precursor to illness. Liu Xie didn't intend to be treated as a patient, and he didn't know what to do to be like an emperor. But he knows that all day long, those who talk about this and that are basically idlers. The difference is just that some people are idle after they are busy with business, and some are idle when they have nothing to do from beginning to end.

The merits and demerits are all commented on by future generations. But now, Liu Xie has to live in the moment, do his best, and do what he thinks he should do. As for the evaluation of future generations, I can't hear it anyway, so I love to talk about it.

In order to deal with Guo Jia, Pang Tong was left in Chenliu; In order to deal with Zhou Yu, Lu Xun was left in Runan; In order to deal with Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie sent Li Ru. Originally, Liu Xie wanted Li Ru to hide behind the scenes and stir up trouble, so as not to give Liu Bei a chance to find trouble for himself later, but he didn't want Liu Biao in Jingzhou to be so unlucky, but he hung up at this time, and Li Ru had to come to the forefront. After Li Ru was assassinated, Liu Xie had to change the original personnel arrangement and transfer Jia Xu to deal with Zhuge Liang.

Liu Xie has only one purpose in dealing with these ways, and that is to delay time. Now that Liu Xie himself is counted, it is only the five forces that can complete the great cause of unification, and Liu Biao was originally regarded as one party, but now that he is hanging, Jingzhou has become Liu Bei's territory, and Liu Bei naturally takes Liu Biao's place.

The five forces, if Liu Xie is allowed to face the four-party coalition independently, it will be really difficult. But if the four-party alliance does not have troops and one place, it is equivalent to giving Liu Xie a chance to break through one by one. And what Liu Xie is currently doing is to let Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others first drag the three-way princes except for Yuan Xi in Hebei, while he himself takes the elite soldiers to break Yuan Xi first, and then continue to clean up the next prince.

Any plan must be in line with the current situation, and once the situation changes, the plan must be changed accordingly. Originally, Liu Xie's purpose in sending troops this time was to deal with Cao Cao, but with the successive battles in Hebei and Jiangdong, the original plan naturally had to be changed accordingly.

Now Liu Xie is leading his elite soldiers to attack Yuan Xi's camp in Hebei, and strive to beat Hebei Yuan Xi back to his hometown in the shortest possible time. In the face of the fierce offensive of the Han army, Yuan Xi complained bitterly, and his advisers Tian Feng and Fu Zhu thought hard about how to deal with the enemy, but in the face of the real attack of the Han army, the two were really at a loss for a while.

"Gonghe, you have been in Chang'an, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the imperial court now?" Tian Feng asked the frustration of returning to Hebei.

Hearing this, Fu Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Hao, I'm afraid that you may not believe what I said." ”

"Mr. Gonghe, you might as well talk about it first." Yuan Xi on the side said after hearing it.

"Okay, since the lord wants to hear it, then the frustration will say, but these are mostly frustrated hearsay, whether this is really the case, then the frustration can't guarantee it."

"Mr. Gonghe, please speak."

Seeing Yuan Xi say this, Fu Zhu had no choice but to say: "Fu Zhu was not treated harshly by the Han army when he was in Chang'an, except for some places where he couldn't go, most of the time as long as he didn't go out alone, he could go out and walk around. And the details of the Han army that I know are also obtained from the chatter of the people of Chang'an. Today's Han army does not use a conscription system, but a conscription system, but in addition to the conscription system, there is also a county military system. ”

"Conscription? Can the Han army recruit so many young men? Tian Feng is a little unconvinced, in order to fight for the world, which prince does not use the conscription system now, but the court is different?

"Yuan Hao, don't believe it, there are really many people in Chang'an who want to be soldiers but can't. Of course, I know why you don't believe it, but I want to tell you that you are wrong, you don't know how the court treats soldiers, so you have doubts about it. Under the rule of the imperial court, not everyone was qualified to serve as a soldier, but all recruits recruited through recruitment must first enter the camp for half a year, and only after passing the examination will they be assigned to different units to continue training. The regular army of the Han army was only responsible for two things, one was training, and the other was fighting, and they did not need to take care of other things at all. ”

"Then why do so many people want to be soldiers?" Tian Feng asked puzzled.

"Because the treatment is good. In a family of five, as long as one person is a soldier, the whole family can get food and clothing, and they can also be given priority to good land. As for those who serve as soldiers, in addition to their daily combat skills training, they will also be arranged to read and write. Even if they are disabled soldiers, they will not be left alone after the war with just a little severance pay, and the imperial court will arrange for them to go to the local area to serve as village chiefs or catch fast, and some can even be recommended to serve as the head of the training of county soldiers in various places. Yuan Hao, now the recruitment system of the Han Dynasty is described in one sentence as a one-stop service, as long as you enter the regular army, then you will have a lifetime to rely on, you said that in such a situation, how can the soldiers of the Han army not sell their lives. He asked Tian Feng with a wry smile.

"Mr. Gonghe, then do you think we can also learn from Hebei?" Yuan Xi asked out loud.

"My lord, I feel that it is a little difficult for us in Hebei to follow suit."

"Why?" Yuan Xi asked puzzled.

"Lord, if you want to maintain this attitude towards soldiers, you must have the support of a lot of money, and we ...... in Hebei" Although he did not continue, Yuan Xi had already understood that Hebei was rich in land and resources, but wealth was mostly in the hands of the family.

"Then how did Liu Xie do it?" Yuan Xi asked a little unconvinced. is surrounded by his own people, and Yuan Xi does not need to maintain the image of a loyal minister of the Han family in front of outsiders.

"He valued the merchants, not only doing business himself, but also promising them that as long as the merchants obeyed the law, he would ensure that the merchants' property would not be plundered for no reason. And what are businessmen most afraid of? It's not that I'm afraid that the wealth I've worked hard will be snatched away. Now he openly stood behind the merchants, who naturally rushed to deliver the money, fearing the collapse of the court, which had treated them fairly. In addition, the imperial court now controls the Western Regions, and the Silk Road has been reopened, and wealth has naturally flowed into his pocket. ”

"Uh-huh...... Gonghe, let's talk about the military system of the Han army. Just now you talked about the conscription system, what about the county military system? Tian Feng was worried that saying too much would affect Yuan Xi's confidence, so he interrupted with a light cough.

was reminded by Tian Feng like this, and Fu Zhu suddenly came to his senses, and followed Tian Feng's words and said: "If you want to talk about the county soldier system, there is a good analogy, the recruitment system ensures the combat strength of the Han army, and the county soldier system ensures the source of soldiers of the Han army. In all the counties and counties under the rule of the imperial court, as long as they were men of appropriate age, they entered the military camp for a period of time every year to receive training. ”

"What is the treatment of the county soldiers?" Yuan Xi interjected and asked.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with the soldiers of the Han army, but in addition to the selection of soldiers through the recruitment system of the imperial court, most of the soldiers were selected from the soldiers of various counties. These soldiers worked in the fields when they were busy, but when they were not working, they were concentrated in the barracks for training. Those who perform well will be recommended to the regular army by local officers. Originally, there was nothing to do when the farm was slack, but when he entered the barracks, he could earn an extra amount of money and food, and he could also be exempted from his own conscription, so naturally no one would not want to go. ”

"Then isn't the imperial court worried that there will not be enough people when it needs to be conscripted?" Tian Feng frowned and asked.

"Yuan Hao, you forgot, the court is rich, but whenever you need to use forced labor, the court will pay to hire people, instead of working for free as in the past." He smiled bitterly.

Tian Feng sighed depressedly after hearing this, no more than I don't know, the more I compare, the more I lose confidence. This is not like a man today, how can he do things that break the rules?

Seeing Tian Feng's expression, he knew what Tian Feng was thinking, and said after a wry smile: "Yuan Hao, don't be surprised, these things have become very common under the rule of the imperial court, and they belong to everyone. ”

"Hasn't anyone objected?" Tian Feng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, those families did object at first, but when the son promised to take them to make a fortune together, they remained silent."

"Huh? How can it be? ”

"How could it not be? Yuan Hao, you are also from everyone's background, let me ask you, if you want to maintain the daily expenses of a family, is it enough to rely on those fields? ”

"Uh...... Inadequate. ”

"That's the end of it. But all families have their own caravans, but they used to be sneaky for fear of being known. But after the Son of Heaven openly supported business, the family could do business openly and honestly, and no longer had to worry about being looked down upon. ”

"How can you not be looked down upon?" Tian Feng was a little unconvinced.

"If there is no agriculture, it will be unstable, if there is no soldier, if there is no army, it will not be strong, and if there is no business, it will not be rich. As long as businessmen do business and abide by the law, they don't have to worry about being belittled, because they have Liu Xie's previous words to support them. ”

"Agriculture, Soldiers, Industry, Commerce...... Where did the taxi go? Tian Feng calculated and asked curiously.

"Taxi ...... In Liu Xie's words, it was naturally concentrated in the imperial court and made suggestions for the strength of the Han Dynasty. ”

“…… What does he mean that those who do not serve the court are not considered scholars? ”

"I don't know about that."

"Isn't he afraid of offending the world's corporals?"

Why should he be afraid? Taixue can provide it with enough officials. Yuan Hao, if he asks for something, then why does he care about those who oppose him? He shook his head with another wry smile.

“…… Why did the big man come out with such a demon? Tian Feng held back the weather for a long time and held back such a sentence.

……

"Oops~ What are you doing?" Sima Yi coldly asked Liu Xie to plot, and couldn't help but ask angrily. It's no wonder that Sima Yi is angry, anyone who suddenly asks someone to twist his neck to one hundred and eighty degrees will be angry.

"I've heard that you look like a wolf, I'll try it." Liu Xie explained with a smile.

Sima Yi couldn't laugh when he heard it, the image of the wolf Gu is not a good word, but anyone who has this image has the possibility of devouring the master.

"Lord, I ......"

"I don't have to explain, I've never believed in this."

"Huh? The lord did not believe it. ”

"That's right, using appearance to distinguish a person from good or bad is not reliable. Zhongda, do you know King Shang and King Wen of Zhou? ”

"My subordinates know."

"It is said that the king of Shang is a talented person and looks dignified, but can you imagine that he would do a bastard thing of dissecting the child and smashing the bone and marrow? However, King Wen of Zhou's appearance is just the opposite of King Shang, who looks like a fierce but benevolent monarch. Therefore, I don't believe that judging people by their appearance is unreliable. ”

“…… Why did the lord talk about this in a good way? Sima Yi asked puzzled.

"Isn't this a rumor that someone in Chang'an recently said that the wolf Gu Zhi is not good, I'm afraid that you will think crankily after you know it, so I will give you peace of mind in advance."

“…… Except for Zhuge Kongming, no one would make this rumor. Sima Yi thought about it after hearing this, and said with gritted teeth.
