Chapter 67: Poison Allegiance
Jia Xu stood there firmly, and said calmly: "The world's high-quality war horses, mostly produced in Yong, Liang, and the three states, now Liangzhou civil strife, and the state of the beginning of peace, the world war horses are scarce, and the daughter can only be exchanged for one, Cao Cao united with the imperial court and the state pastor to chase Guo Yan, but also coveted the Yongzhou war horse." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Needless to say, smart people can get a glimpse of the whole picture, Li Wang smiled: "But you also said it, and the state is at the beginning of peace, and war horses are also scarce, and we don't have enough for ourselves." ”
Jia Xu said patiently: "Don't laugh at the state pastor, the Yanmen border pass is dangerous, but Yang Zaixing is the world's fierce general, and it is difficult for the Xianbei cavalry to enter an inch, and the Xianbei horse is famous, so I want to come to the state pastor and will not let it go." ”
King Li and Jia Xu looked at each other and laughed.
Zhang Juzheng looked at the two of them and smiled wickedly, and said helplessly: "Three thousand war horses are enough to exchange for two seasons of grain and grass, but the output of war horses will definitely enhance the combat power of hostile forces." ”
Li Wang nodded sympathetically: "Jia Wenhe should have a way to solve it for us." ”
"Liu Zhang and Liu Biao in the south, sitting in Yizhou and Jingzhou, the grain and grass are piled up, but the road is far away, even if the horses arrive, those grains and grass cannot guarantee that they will arrive safely in Bingzhou, so it is not advisable."
Jia Xu's words resonated: "The war situation in Liangzhou is chaotic, and grain and grass are scarce, which is also undesirable; The war situation in Youzhou and Jizhou is unknown, and it is not possible to rashly exchange war horses for grain and grass, after all, the two places are close to each other, and if a war breaks out, it is the local people who will suffer. ”
Wanyan Zongwang continued: "Now only the imperial courts of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Wancheng are left. ”
Jia Xu glanced at Wanyan Zongwang, if it was an enemy, he would be the only one who was the biggest opponent.
"This general is right, although Yangzhou is vast, it is densely populated, and most of the grain and grass are controlled by the scholars, and the rivers in Yangzhou are dense, and the war horses can't be killed, so Sun Jian and Yuan Shu and other forces will naturally not exchange with us. Qingzhou Kong Rong and Xuzhou Tao Qian, the two of them didn't have the courage to take over these five thousand war horses, only..."
"Wait." Zhang Juzheng stood up and interrupted: "Isn't it three thousand war horses? ”
Jia Xu smiled lightly: "Three thousand horses is not enough. ”
"Ridiculous." Zhang Ju scolded angrily, pointed at Jia Xu's nose and said: "The training cycle of my war horses in the state is as long as seven or eight years, and the annual output after entering the process does not exceed three thousand, not to mention the hundreds of war horses that are sick and killed in the line of duty. ”
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Juzheng blowing his beard and glaring a little funny: "You are Uncle Zhang and Zhang Taishou, I appreciate your ability to govern, but it doesn't mean that your strategy can convince me, the reason why I suggested Yima to change food is to fund others, do you understand?" ”
Zhang Juzheng was stunned, could it be that there are other moths in this?
Wanyan Zongwang is the only person who understands, he and Zhang Juzheng are quite eye-to-eye, and explained at this time: "Three thousand war horses can make the princes of the Guannei red, but it is only red-eyed, the weight of five thousand war horses is just right, enough for their ambition to swell, it is a pity that we pay for war horses, but when the expected gain exceeds the effort, we don't feel heartache." ”
Jia Xu nodded and said: "Anyway, the loss of war horses is inevitable, it is better to add another 2,000 horses to the state pastor, blinding the eyes of the princes in the Guannei, Yuzhou Mu Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are friendly, if we exchange the war horse for grain and grass with him, how do you say Shouchun City, which is close to Runan, will react." ”
The words are clear, Zhang Juzheng's intelligence is as high as 92 points, so naturally he will not be confused anymore, at this time, he only feels the cool air surging, and he can't help but shiver.
There is a strange phenomenon in the Han Dynasty, many scholars are also warlords, such as Han Fu, Tao Qian, this Yuzhou Mu Zhang Miao is the same as them, the great Confucian, naturally the so-called honest man, Yuan Shu Yin Dove, and has fought on both sides, must be red five thousand horses, will inevitably send troops to plunder, if Zhang Miao is defeated and retreated, Cao Cao will definitely intervene in it, which will help to disturb the situation in the pass.
Li Wang smiled: "In this way, Wen He proposed that I exchange grain with Zhang Miao?" ”
"No, there are two choices for the pastor of Bingzhou, Wancheng Imperial Court and Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai."
"Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai royal family, but he is cautious and cautious, and he is not in front of others, but five thousand war horses are enough to shake his mind, and Yanzhou will be close to Jizhou, and the state pastor will only spread the news that Yuan Shao will secretly send troops to loot. As for the Wancheng Imperial Court......"
"Needless to say." King Li interrupted Jia Xu, the Wancheng court was not considered at all, Jia Xu's subjective consciousness was good, but King Li had the golden finger of the creation system, this Wancheng court now has the assistance of Wang Shouren and Zhe Keshi, two later figures, and Lu Bu, who has explosive attributes, is in charge, and he will fund him with 5,000 war horses, who knows if he will directly kill Cao Cao, and then dominate the world, and there is nothing to do with himself.
"I decided to hand over the war horse grain and grass with Liu Dai before the end of the year, and the chaos in Jizhou in the coming year must be opened." After speaking, King Li looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I admire your strategy, and I am willing to serve under my account." ”
In fact, Jia Xu saw it more openly, in his previous life, he was well versed in the way of self-preservation, and in this life, Dong Zhuo was ambushed in advance, which made Jia Xu feel guilty, so he worked under Guo Yan, otherwise according to the plot, Jia Xu once again suggested that Li Dao and Guo Yan break into Chang'an and kidnap the emperor, it would not be fun.
As for why Jia Xu appeared in Bingzhou, it was because he heard that Zhao Yunjun's rescue of Ma Teng was not aimed at him, and Cao Cao's alliance was unstoppable, and he could guess a thing or two about King Li's ambitions, so he had the idea of defecting to Bingzhou.
"See the lord", the literati did not kneel, but Jia Xu fell to the ground, full of sincerity.
King Li helped him up with satisfaction: "Wenhe Zhimou, you can be regarded as having seen it today, but my uncle and I are already in the preparation stage for the imperial examination system, so no one can be an exception, so I will arrange Jia Xu to be the governor of the prefecture and serve in the pastoral government of our state. ”
Jia Xu happily agreed, and Li Wang checked his favorability, and his fixed favorability of up to 80 points has now increased to 85 points, and Li Wang casually exchanged 5 points of free favorability.
As for Jia Kui, he was really relieved until this time, and regardless of his numb legs, he hurriedly stood up and hid behind people.
"Uncle, Wenhe, Zongwang, the three of you come with me to the study."
The three of them, plus Yuwen Chengdu, followed King Li into the study and sat down.
"Uncle, now that the recruitment of talents has achieved little success, the imperial examination system must be put into action in the coming year."
Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea: "The resistance of the lord's imperial examination system is not small, just the promotion of unlimited status is enough to arouse the disgust of the world's scholars, not to mention that the emperor of Wancheng is still here, and rashly changing the system is afraid that it will be a loss for the way of the minister." ”
King Li pinched the soft hair, and said: "I naturally know this, so I plan to use the grand meeting of civil and military double lifting to pave the way, as for the imperial examination system, we can change the name to the talent and virtue test questions, and I will give rewards to those who have won the top three, and then there will be no temptation of official positions to destroy the recommendation system, and the resistance of the scholars should be controllable." ”
Jia Xu and Wanyan Zong were puzzled, what is this imperial examination system, Zhang Juzheng hastily explained, and the two of them suddenly couldn't help but give a thumbs up to King Li in their hearts, which is equivalent to finding a way out for the poor people in the world.
It was only at this moment that Wanyan Zongwang realized that King Li had truly accepted him, a person of different races, and even let him participate in the discussion of such important matters as the imperial examination system, and his favorability in his heart rose.
"Can the state and county governments have notices in place?"
"Including Yizhou, I notified a total of eleven states, of which only Youzhou and Jiaozhou are unclear, and no one was sent to notify them, but after all, the lord's reward this time is too rich, and forces such as Sun Jian, Ma Teng and other forces have replied one after another, saying that they want to send people to participate."
King Li this time is a bloody capital, the first military general rewarded his forces with a thousand Xianbei war horses, even the second place has five hundred, although the blood capital, but in order to build momentum King Li also let go, and the first scribe, will receive King Li's recommendation, then the Wancheng court will reward the first Dashangshu official position, only under Jiuqing, literati in politics, who is not to seek fame, so it is a lot of powerful people. As for those who have not made a career, as long as they get the ranking, the reward is enough for them to rejoice.
