Chapter 65: Jia Xu's Confession

My name is Jia Xu, Ziwenhe, Wuwei Guzang, 43 years old this year. Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, I have reached middle age, and I have basically achieved nothing and been mediocre for more than 40 years of life, but I feel that I am not an ordinary person, and my life should not be so idle.

Maybe you'll laugh at me, so just laugh as much as you want!

At least one person thinks I'm extraordinary.

He is my master, Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Xiliang.

Speaking of him, you may not know him, but there is one person related to him that you must have heard of, this person is a generation of famous generals Huangfu Song, that is, the bull man who dealt with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

My master Yan Zhong is the military advisor and mastermind of Huangfu Song when he pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and his pre-war strategy, command during the war, and post-war pacification all have the figure of my master, and it is no exaggeration to say that Huangfu Song's military merit medal should also have half of my master Yan Zhong.

My master thinks that I have the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and I also thought so before the age of thirty, after all, I am young and frivolous, and I don't know how high the sky is. After the age of thirty, I no longer think so, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping assisted Emperor Gao Liu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

But I still think that I am not an ordinary person, and I still think that I have a certain amount of wisdom.

The relationship between my master and me can be said to be both a teacher and a friend, although he said that I had a little bit of encouragement for me, but there must be some truth in it. I believe that my master will not lie to me.

Because my master is a person with great ability, a person with earth-shattering talents, and a person who has the opportunity to achieve something earth-shattering. It's a pity that Huangfu Song is a loyal minister, if he can listen to my master's Jianyi, take the opportunity to launch a coup d'état, and with the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty in his hands, sweep the whole country, maybe he can change the dynasty and create a new situation. It's a pity that the Huangfu family has been loyal and good for generations, and this kind of thing that is usurped in the eyes of loyal ministers will never be done.

It's just a pity that such a good opportunity, and it's a pity that my master has worked hard.

So, I believe in my Master and feel that I am a wise person.

In my early years, I was investigated for filial piety, but due to physical reasons, I resigned and went west to return to my hometown. When he arrived at Wangdi, he encountered the rebellious Di people, and dozens of people with him were captured by the rebellious Di people. Between life and death, I came up with an idea to make up a lie, falsely claiming that I was the grandson of Taiwei Duan Cheng, so that they should not hurt me, and asked me to write to the so-called grandfather Duan Cheng, and ask him to pay a lot of money to redeem me. Duan Cheng has been a border general for a long time, and he is a well-known role in the northwest ground. These Qiang and Hu people were not beaten by Duan Cheng and his army, and these Qiang people and Di people were afraid of Duan Cheng like tigers!

I lifted this big Buddha out and lit it up, and sure enough, I was scared of these people, and I didn't dare to touch a single hair, and swore an oath to me, begging me not to let my "grandfather Duan Cheng" lead troops to crusade against them, and also gave some travel expenses, and sent a few people to escort me for a while. The ridiculous Hu people are also some people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard.

When I got home, I was recuperating and planting flowers and plants. Of course, in some words dedicated to us readers, it is to cultivate and read at home. It's a pity that I didn't study in the so-called Nanyang, nor did I have the so-called Mr. Zhuge and I didn't have as many contacts as Mr. Zhuge did. Of course, when I was at home, Mr. Zhuge might still be a lump of liquid, or a little kid in a diaper.

That's how I gradually became famous and became known. Of course, it's not that I'm pretending to be that, but the current big Han scholars are all doing this, and famous people are basically doing this. The best thing to do is Yuan Shao, this guy is stunned as an inconspicuous concubine, and has become the leader of the party, so that the Yuan family, who originally ignored him, has to look at him differently, in this regard, I am really far from him.

Fortunately, even my little fame was known.

In September of the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty (189 AD), Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor Liu Wei and established Liu Xie as the emperor, and he himself was promoted to Taiwei. At this time, I was recruited by Dong Zhuo, and as a lieutenant, I began to work for Dong Zhuo. In November, Dong Zhuo established himself as the prime minister, praised and worshipped the nameless, did not enter the court, and went to the palace with his sword. I was also appointed as the Commander of Pingjin as Taiwei Peng, and transferred to Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

It's also luck, just at this time Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo's son Dong Bai won the battle together, defeated the Baibo Yellow Turban Thief, and broke nearly 100,000 thieves.

It's a pity that I couldn't meet Dong Bai, a young general.

In fact, Dong Zhuo should be called Dong Gong, and I should respect him, after all, he is my boss. Of course, my boss is not the main reason why I respect him.

Strictly speaking, our Dong Gong, as a military general, can only be regarded as a martial artist in the eyes of those so-called families. But he has made great contributions in the west, Qiang Hu is chaotic, the west is unstable, it is this person in Xiliang who worked hard, fought bloodily, and defended the important land in the west for the Han Dynasty. Such a person has defended the peace of the country, and it stands to reason that he should be respected by the people of the world, but those scholars will not think so, in their eyes, they will always be born, born or born.

Later, our Dong Gong's strength gradually became stronger and stronger in the suppression of the rebellion in the Xiqiang border, coupled with the chaos of eunuchs, corruption and incompetence of the Han court, and the struggle for power among the party members, finally a trace of accident appeared, and Dong Gong seized that opportunity to successfully control the court in Luoyang.

As a Xiliang people, it is easy to be despised by the Kanto people, because Xiliang is located in the west, and Qiang and Hu live together, so few of those Kanto people can face up to our Xiliang people, most of them have a contemptuous eye, and it is rare to be able to reuse our Xiliang people like Huangfu Song.

So, I don't have a lot of options.

When the edict of Dong Gong was sent to my hometown, I thought about it again and again, but I still chose to follow the order. At this time, I am in my forties, and if I don't come out to do something, this life may just pass!

Like most scholars who study at home, the purpose of farming and reading is always to one day become an official, get ahead, and do a career.

To be honest, I don't want to be empty in the mountains and forests, I want to do something, I want to change something, but I don't have a clear direction.

One thing is certain, only when an official enters the court can he make a difference, this era is such a reality, there are not too many outlets, there are not too many choices.

I chose Dong Zhuo and Xiliangjun, there is no special reason, just because I am a Xiliang person, I think in a team that is all Xiliang people, there should be no rejection, so that many things will be easier.

Xiliangjun provided a glimmer of possibility for everyone, and Dong Zhuo also brought a glimmer of hope to many people. Even though this hope is small, there are still many who want to believe and do not hesitate to do so.

I think I might be one of them.

Actually, I'm not optimistic about Xiliang Army.

Because it has many problems. The first is the problem of logistics and grass, and it is also the most fundamental problem, which is encountered by all warlords, and it is especially strict for the Xiliang army. In this era, eating is always the most important issue, and if you can eat enough, you can say anything; If you don't have enough to eat, then any problem will be infinitely expanded. The reason why there are so many rebellions in the Xiliang border is because the people there can't eat enough and can't live, so it can only be a rebellion. If you can eat and drink enough, who will be idle and have nothing to do to rebel?

Secondly, there is the issue of military discipline in the Xiliang Army, the composition of the Xiliang Army is complex, simply put, there are everyone, Qiang, Di and other ethnic groups. As the old saying goes, "a good forest is big, there are all kinds of birds", and these people are fierce and good at fighting, heroic and aggressive, and the combat effectiveness is naturally relatively high when they fight, but the internal fighting is also quite chaotic, and it is not very easy to manage, but this is not absolute, as long as the first problem can be solved, the problem of eating can be guaranteed, as long as an appropriate method is used, these people can also obey orders and be disciplined in an orderly manner. If you don't obey, you don't want to eat, after all, disobedient people are in the minority, as long as the method is used more appropriately, it can also be solved smoothly.

There is also the problem of talents, the so-called "Kansai out of generals, Kanto out of the prime minister", Xiliang people are tough and good at fighting, Xiliang this place is a perennial battle, chaos, naturally worship force, there are more excellent generals, the same reason, such a chaotic place, the average person can not live and die by himself, every day is in dire straits, naturally there are not many scholars, it is difficult for uneducated people to be civil officials, especially the prime minister of civil officials. And now the world is the world of the scholars, these people who are clothed and fed every day naturally can't see the suffering of ordinary people, and naturally look down on the warriors with vulgar backgrounds, and it is difficult for ordinary scholars to have a good impression of the Xiliang Army, let alone join the Xiliang Army.

Pick up the roll call book, one by one, there are really not many literati in the Xiliang Army, and the barely counted ones are Li Ru and me, you say a lot less. Maybe there were others, but I didn't know.

The talent aspect is simply a hard injury!

Of course, from this point of view, it is easier for me to mix after I joined.

Of course, there are many other problems, so I won't list them all.

For my own ideals and ambitions, as well as the second half of my life, or a little crazy about Qing Shi Danqing, I joined the Xiliang Army without hesitation. But I found that Dong Zhuo didn't have a good solution to the problem of the Xiliang Army's heavy dài that I saw, and I think no one could have a good solution, maybe this is an unsolvable problem.

Just when I was confused about the future, an edict suddenly came to my tent, bringing me a new curiosity and a new hope.

But I'm not sure what the future looks like, and all in all, a little hope is better than nothing.

I heard that the man would meet me outside Chang'an City.

Pack up and go to Chang'an!

My name is Jia Xu, and I am walking on an unknown road!
