Chapter 36: Jia Xu
Sun Quan listed the treasure ship plan as the first priority, and the conditions proposed by Chen Jin were reasonable, so there was basically no difficulty Sun Quan agreed, and at the same time, a special department was set up for Chen Jin to use, and he completely delegated power to Chen Jin, and he was too lazy to afford the name, Chen Jin decided by himself, Chen Jin was very stinky and named the Ministry of Anji, which means to appease Sheji, this name is tall and hanging. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't know if people really think that this name is literal, and those who know will laugh.

Cao Cao Chibi was defeated, and he also lost his beloved general Xu Chu, and he regretted not being at the beginning. Cao Cao looked at the person behind him: "I regret not listening to Wen and what he said at the beginning!" This person's appearance is really not outstanding, and he is definitely an inconspicuous character in the crowd, he is the famous poisoner Jia Xu. To say that he is a poisoner, in fact, is an exaggeration, born in troubled times, everything is just a means of self-preservation, the poisoner is not his original intention, not to mention that not everything can be under his control.
It turned out that before the Battle of Chibi, Jia Xu had persuaded Cao Cao that he should first appease the people and wait for the opportunity, but Cao Cao did not listen, and Chibi was really defeated.
Jia Xu's wisdom and eyesight are among the top in the world.
When Jia Xu was a teenager, he was with dozens of people and was captured by the Di people. In order to survive, Jia Xu lied that he was Duan Cheng's grandson, and persuaded him not to kill him, and the family would definitely redeem him with a lot of money. Duan Cheng was a lieutenant at the time, and he had been on the frontier for a long time, so Jia Xu used Duan Cheng to scare them, and sure enough, Jia Xu survived, and was escorted back by them, and the rest of the people who traveled with him were killed.
In the third year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo Niu Fu all died, Wang Yun wanted to liquidate Dong Zhuoyu's party, and Jia Xu was naturally among the liquidations. At that time, Li Dao and Guo Yan were already uneasy and planned to flee separately. Jia Xu came forward at this time and said that the magnates of Chang'an want to kill all of our people in Xiliang, if we abandon our subordinates, it is equivalent to asking for our own death, and any pavilion chief can kill us, so we might as well rein in our troops, continue to go west, and attack Chang'an again, if we can succeed, we can not only avenge Dong Zhuo, but also serve the Son of Heaven to ask for nothing, if we can't succeed, it will not be too late to escape. In this way, they gathered their ranks and rushed to Chang'an day and night. When they arrived, they had gathered 100,000 people. Then the onslaught on Chang'an, and the soldiers in the city rebelled, and Chang'an followed. This can be regarded as Jia Xu's words that changed history! Maybe it was because of the next moment that Jia Xu was called a poisoner! Li Yu, Guo Yan and others actually plundered the city, and more than 10,000 people died at one time. It is a bit too much to be called a poisoner, which is neither his intention nor his command, and if he is called a poisoner, then there is a man who is a million times more poisonous than him. This person is the inventor of gunpowder, and from ancient times to the present, because of how many people have died in gunpowder, there are countless people, but the inventor of gunpowder has not even found a name.
Li Yu and Guo Yan wanted to make Jia Xu a high-ranking official, but Jia Xu resolutely refused to accept it. After that, Li Yu and Guo Yan fought each other for power, and Jia Xu made more conciliations.
and then persuaded Liu Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao. You must know that Liu Xiu killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and the love general Dian Wei before. It was in this situation that Liu Ru really surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao really didn't do anything to them, and was reused: Cao Cao worshiped Jia Xu as the ruling Jinwu, and Zhang Xiu as the general of Yangwu.
When Jia Xu was an official in Cao, he had many opportunities to come into contact with Cao Cao, but he rarely gave Cao Cao advice. Cao Cao doesn't ask, he is basically a transparent person, and if he asks, he is ambiguous when he answers. For example, during the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu about his plan, and Jia Xu just told Cao Cao that Cao Cao was better than Yuan Shao in terms of shrewdness and brave decision-making, and the reason why he did not win was just to estimate the overall situation, and what was lacking now was just an opportunity. Hehe, what's the difference between saying this and not saying it, there is no specific plan at all, just cheering for Cao Cao next to him. But Jia Xu can't always be a transparent person, no, occasionally bubble up to let others know his existence. In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, that is, in 211, the ten coalition forces led by Han Sui and Ma Chao gathered more than 100,000 horses and guarded Tongguan to resist Cao Cao. After Ma Chao and others were frustrated, they proposed to draw the river as the boundary of the peace conditions, but Cao Cao refused, so Ma Chao came to challenge many times, Cao Cao just couldn't stick to it, so that Ma Chao's plan to win the battle quickly was shattered. In September, Ma Chao put forward a request for land demarcation and was willing to send his son as a hostage. At this time, Jia Xu suggested that Cao Cao could pretend to agree to them on the surface and paralyze the other party, but in fact actively prepare for war and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. Cao Cao then asked Jia Xu how to break the enemy, and Jia Xu said: "Divide Ma Chao Han Sui." Cao Cao used his stratagem and wrote a book to divide Ma Chao and Han Sui, causing them to strife internally. Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Cao took the initiative to launch an attack on the Guanzhong coalition army and returned with a great victory.
In his old age, Jia Xu was still planning for future generations. Jia Xu thought that although he was an important minister, he was not a loyal minister, so he was afraid that Cao Cao would be jealous, so he adopted a self-preservation strategy, kept himself behind closed doors, and did not associate with others in private. In the twenty-second year of Jian'an, that is, in 217 years, Cao Cao had not yet established a son, Cao Pi was a general of the five officials, and it was Cao Zhi who was famous, Cao Pi sent someone to seek advice from Jia Xu, Jia Xu said: "I hope that the general can promote morality, cultivate temperament, practice the responsibilities and obligations of scholars, be diligent, tireless, and do not do things that violate filial piety, and it will be fine." Later, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu for his opinion on the heir, and Jia Xu persuaded Cao Cao not to abolish the elder and the young, so Cao Cao made Cao Pi the son. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, in order to repay Jia Xu's kindness, he named Jia Xu as a lieutenant, entered the Marquis of Weishou Township, and increased the food by 300, a total of 800 households before and after. He also divided 200 food towns, and made the youngest son Jia Wan a liehou, and the eldest son Jia Mu as the captain of the horses.
Seeking himself, Jia Xu was able to protect himself in the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, enjoy his old age in peace and benefit future generations; Seek people, penetrate people's hearts, see the vicissitudes of the world, and be able to grasp the key points of people at critical moments; Although there are not many strategies for the mastermind, every time there is a plan, there will be miraculous results.
No wonder Yi Zhongtian said: "Jia Xu can judge the situation in troubled times, he has lived the longest, and he has saved his family." This is the real great wisdom, and Jia Xu may be the smartest person during the Three Kingdoms period. “
Three words and two words are inexhaustible, the mountains are clear, life is vast, the cold clothes cover the rebelliousness, and the wind is swept and the clothes are drunk.
