Chapter Ninety-One: A Special Visitor

Cao Ying held the banner of "avenging his father" to raise troops to attack Xuzhou, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, and the world was shocked.

The failure to capture Xuzhou was not because the city of Xuzhou was strong, but because Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, and Cao Ying had to wave his army to save it.

According to Guo Jia's idea of wanting to serve Cao Ying when he came out of Yingchuan, Xuzhou is determined to win, because laying down Xuzhou is not only an opportunity to strengthen Cao Ying, but also a way to curb the rise of another hero.

Almost the entire territory of Yanzhou fell, and Cao Ying only had three counties left, but to compete with Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu had a strategist Chen Gong, but Cao Ying not only had the Cao Xiahou clan brothers and generals, but also Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other strategists, Lu Bu will always be just a vanguard general, not a handsome man who leads the overall situation, everyone in the world thinks that Cao Ying will die this time, and even Cao Ying himself is a little pessimistic, but under the support of Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, Cao Ying regrouped and confidently wanted to recover Yanzhou.

Yanzhou, the war in Xuzhou has focused the world, Yanzhou has Lu Bu as the protagonist, and Xuzhou has also come to Xuzhou to appear on stage with a famous character.

When Cao Yingxing's troops came to attack, Tao Qian sent people to ask Gongsun Chan for help, in terms of political position, Tao Qian could not ask for help from many princes, Gongsun Chan was the strongest among them, although the confrontation between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao in Hebei had gone to a disadvantage.

Liu Bei, who obeyed orders under the command of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, came unexpectedly and rescued Xuzhou with poor soldiers and horses, perhaps from today's point of view, Liu Bei is not self-sufficient, and he is smiling and generous, but Liu Bei's courage is enough to make the world admire and be ashamed.

By chance, Liu Bei's rescue of Xuzhou was a drop in the bucket, but Cao Ying's backyard caught fire, and Liu Bei did not lose his life, and he also reaped a successful credit for saving Xuzhou.

Tao Qian fell in love with Liu Bei's Guan Zhang Xionghu general, so he used 4,000 Danyang soldiers as a condition to leave Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei used to obey orders under Tian Kai, Tian Kai was Gongsun Zhan's subordinate, Liu Bei was a subordinate under the princes in terms of status, and now Tao Qian used 4,000 Danyang soldiers to win him over, why didn't he do it? Not only did the strength of his soldiers and horses increase, but Liu Bei also rose to the status of the princes, and the two hit it off.

When the information about the war situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou reached Yizhou, most of the officials in Yizhou felt some pity for Cao Ying.

Father's hatred is not shared, Cao Ying held this banner to fight Xuzhou, no one can blame him, Zhang Min is indeed Tao Qian's subordinate, no matter how to shirk responsibility, Tao Qian himself is guilty of escaping.

Guo Jia sighed inexplicably.

Liu Bei, after all, still stepped onto the stage of the world!

Maybe Liu Bei's strength is not good in the eyes of the world, but he is definitely not an unknown little person!

Liu Bei was known for his benevolence and righteousness when he was in Youzhou, he was kind and charitable, he was a very small official, but he put the people first, but whenever the people were in trouble, he would do his best to help, which was a small favor in Guo Jia's eyes, which could change the fate of a few people, but could not improve the situation of the people from the root. Liu Bei's actions have accumulated popularity for him, and even many people have accompanied Liu Bei to death, including some miscellaneous foreigners, which shows how powerful Liu Bei's ability to gather people's hearts is.

What makes Liu Bei really famous and has the qualifications to be on the world stage are three things.

The Yellow Turban soldiers forced Luoyang, and Liu Bei participated in the rescue.

Beihai Kong Rong was besieged by the Yellow Turban, and Liu Bei went to save him.

Cao Ying's army overwhelmed the border, seeing the fall of Xuzhou, Liu Bei came to help.

In the first thing, Liu Bei is inconspicuous, because it is not Liu Bei who turns the tide, but saving Kong Rong and saving Tao Qian is Liu Bei's deeds of showing his potential.

Liu Bei has strong generals, but there are no male soldiers, save Kong Rong and save Tao Qian, he is sent to death, do others dare? Liu Bei does not care about success or failure, regardless of life and death, when other princes sit and watch the wall, uphold the righteousness and justice and resolutely go to the death to help, Yan Zhao is a generous and sad person, Liu Bei's actions can be called heroes!

There are many descendants of the Han family like a carp crossing the river, and the down-and-out royal family is not a handful, Liu Bei used to be a small person, but he climbed up step by step, and used his behavior to interpret the way of benevolence and righteousness, how could he not impress the talented people in the world who are interested in serving the Ming Lord? Liu Bei, who later confirmed the identity of the emperor's uncle, has a strong political appeal, and the rise of a hero cannot rely on force alone!

In the middle of summer, the heat is unbearable, and Guo Jia is interested in entertaining an unexpected guest in the pavilion in the backyard of the house.

The two people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion, one is the heroic Guo Jia, and the other is ordinary, nearly forty years old, with a modest temperament and an indifferent complexion.

took out the drunken immortal wine with a small reserve in the house to entertain the guests, Guo Jia personally poured the wine, and pushed the wine glass that was poured eight points full of wine to the person opposite.

"Mr. Wenhe, please."

This special guest is none other than Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who resigned from Chang'an.

Jia Xu picked up the wine glass and smelled the wine, took a sip, showed a faint smile, and said, "Isn't it that you all use drunken immortals to entertain guests?" ”

Once drunken immortal wine was hard to find, but now it is even more priceless.

Guo Jia took a sip of the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Mr. said that he laughed, although the drunken fairy is a good wine, it can only taste when it is drunk with a great talent like Mr." ”

He was never stingy with praise for talented people.

Is Jia Xu talented? There is no need to argue about this question.

Hearing Guo Jia praise him so much, Jia Xu showed a trace of shame, looked at the clear liquid in the wine glass, and said lightly: "Let you know that the reason why Li Dao and Guo Yan caused trouble in Chang'an is because of the following." ”

Regarding Jia Xu's idea to attack Chang'an and control the imperial court for Li Dao and Guo Yan, the historical evaluation is very derogatory to Jia Xu.

There was still half of the wine in the cup, but Guo Jia poured Jia Xu full eight points again, and said softly: "But I also know that if there is no gentleman, the leaders of Qianghu will defile the court, even worse than Dong Zhuo." Mr. persuaded Li Dao Guo Yan to enter Chang'an, it was really for self-preservation, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, Mr.'s situation, I can understand the heart. ”

Wang Yun does not pardon Li Dao Guo Yan, Jia Xu is also Dong Zhuo's old department, will Wang Yun pardon him? It's hard to say, so Jia Xu persuaded Li Dao and Guo Yan to attack Chang'an in order to protect himself, and replaced Guo Jia, and in the same situation, Bacheng did the same.

And Jia Xu didn't know how many times in Chang'an to stop Li Dao Guo Yan from killing, and because Li Dao Guo Yan invited the leaders of the Qianghu tribe to help when he attacked Chang'an, and promised to give them the beauties in the palace, Jia Xu saw that those leaders were going to enter the palace to rob the harem concubines and maids, so he used a trick to persuade the leaders of Qianghu to retreat.

The reason why Jia Xu left Chang'an was very simple, it was not that Li Dao and Guo Yan were not good to him, but that the situation in Chang'an made him feel a crisis.

In the past, Chang'an was Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, and the three of them restrained each other, and the three of them were full of strength, and the situation was balanced, because the two fought each other, and the third person played a key role in checking and balancing, and they were afraid of each other, but it became a delicate and peaceful situation, but after Li Dao killed Fan Chou, the three-legged situation became a two-tiger fight, that is, it was endless, the situation was out of control, and Jia Xu resigned and fled in order to protect himself.

chose to come to Yizhou because Guo Jia is now a pastor in Yizhou, no matter who in the world serves Guo Jia, there is no struggle between right and wrong, only whether Guo Jia is worth taking refuge in, and whether talented people can show their strengths.

The most important thing is Yizhou Taiping, you can rest easy in Yizhou, Jia Xu is from a humble background, he can also go to Liu Biao for refuge, but Liu Biao may not use him, in contrast, he believes in Guo Jia, who is also from a humble background, because Guo Jia's actions in Yizhou have proved that he is a capable person in his position.

"I am grateful to the king for exonerating the guilt."

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, how the civil and military officials of the Chang'an court talked about and criticized him behind his back, he didn't have to guess and knew it, but few people could put themselves in his shoes and think about it, is it wrong to seek self-protection in troubled times?

Life is unsatisfactory in ten **.

Guo Jia does not defend Jia Xu, he is not qualified to evaluate the merits and demerits, and what he says is just explaining Jia Xu.

"Sir, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, the princes have been divided, and the heroes have risen together, according to your opinion, the Han family, is there any hope?"

Change the topic and let Jia Xu not be immersed in the old things in Chang'an.

Jia Xu picked up the wine glass and drank it this time, spit out the wine happily, and most of the knots in his chest dissipated, and said: "The people who can fight for the Han family, from the death of the first emperor to the present, there are only three people, but they all died by mistake. The first person, He Jin, the second person, Dong Zhuo, the third person, Wang Yun. ”

Guo Jia once again served wine for Jia Xuman, and said with a faint smile: "The signs of the collapse of the Han family have long been revealed, and the state pastor has the power to lead the military government, as in the past, Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the heroes from all over the country openly recruited troops, and raised troops for public and private interests. The first emperor was funeral, He Jin was a general in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but he only cared about the court fighting for power and profit, but he couldn't see that if he could be dedicated to the public and order the princes to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits in the early days of the princes' separation, not only could sweep away the yellow scarves, but also take the opportunity to weaken the princes around the world. ”

Jia Xu took the wine glass and saluted Guo Jia before drinking it, and poured Guo Jia a full glass when Guo Jia wanted to pour him wine.

"What you said is true, He Jin's self-mistake is due to selfishness, and Dong Zhuo's self-mistake is due to ambition. Dong Zhuo's heart is obvious, but he does have the opportunity to be a loyal hero admired by everyone in the Han Dynasty, he defiled the palace, abolished the emperor without authorization, killed the courtiers in vain, and ignored the life and death of the people. ”

Jia Xu's words made Guo Jia can't help but nod in agreement, the fundamental reason for Dong Zhuo's defeat is that Dong Zhuo has offended all classes, he killed the powerful and offended the scholars, he ignored the lives of the people, and offended the civilians.

For example, Gaozu Liu Bang seized the world, based on Guanzhong, and the three chapters of the law with the people, won the hearts of the people. Later, the further destruction of slavery, the emancipation of slaves and maids, and the light punishment of small endowments won the support of the people, and the world was not fought by war alone.
