Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Ning Ji General Duan Xuan Duan Zhongming, in Dong Zhuoyu's party is considered to be a more disciplined one, he stationed troops in Huayin, west of Hongnong, attaches importance to farming and weaving, does not disturb the people, and on the way back to the emperor to the east, he offers food and clothing, and is quite cautious. It is estimated that it is precisely for this reason that after Jia Xu left Li and Guo, he went to seek refuge with him.

But Duan Xuan was a little cautious, he saw that Jia Xu was originally a colleague with him, his status was about the same, and his ability was still greater than himself, so he always suspected that Jia Xu wanted to occupy the magpie's nest. Therefore, Zhang Xiu sent people over to greet him, and Jia Xu went south. Someone asked Jia Xu, saying that Lao Duan is good to you, how can you just leave? Jia Xu said look at it, he is good to me now, if I stay for a long time, he will definitely be poisoned, it is better to leave now, he is also happy in his heart, and hopes that I will help him pull allies outside, so he will continue to take care of my wife and children left behind.

According to the history books, "Zhang Xiu is in Nanyang, Xu Yin is embroidered, and Xiu sends people to greet Xu", it can be seen that Zhang Xiu did not take the initiative to find Jia Xu for help, it was completely Jia Wenhe deliberately found a way out for himself. This old man's foresight can be seen from this.

It's a pity that Xun came early, Zhang Xiu had just entered Wancheng here, Cao Cao got the news, so he sent him over, and Jia Xu hadn't left Duan Xuan yet-as for whether Zhang Xiu had already "Yin knotted" Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu didn't mention it, and Xun couldn't guess. What can I do? Turn around and go back? It was Xun Xin who said that the main purpose of my visit was to see Jia Xu, not really to earn this little bit of merit!

Staying in Wancheng that night, he asked Lu Su to discuss. Lu Su said I have heard of Jia Wenhe, that is a super bastard, if he hadn't instigated Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to rebel and attack Chang'an, the world would not be so chaotic. Yes Xun said, this can't be blamed on Jia Xu, he was just trying to save his life at the time - for example, if you are wronged, you can still live if you fight, and you will die if you are captured, will you rebel?

If he asks a loyal minister or a hypocrite, the other party will definitely say that the king wants the minister to die and the minister has to die, but Lu Su is neither a loyal minister (at least not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty), nor hypocritical, so he immediately lowered his head and muttered, which is equivalent to acquiescence.

Yes Xun said again, I have contacted a lot of ministers and doctors who fled from Kansai with the Son of Heaven, and everyone feels that there are two people, one is Jia Xu and the other is Duan Xuan, indicating that they are still trying their best to make up for the damage caused to the country by attacking Chang'an. It can be seen that he still has a sense of shame and does not belong to the type that is completely hopeless.

Lu Su raised his head and asked, "Hongfu praises Jia Wenhe very much, does this person really have a genius?" Shi Xun replied: "Jia Xu's wisdom is comparable to Xun Gongda in Cao Gong's curtain." Then he told Lu Su, I asked for an envoy this time because there were rumors that Jia Xu was in Wancheng, so I wanted to come and see him, but now that I know that he is in Huayin, what should we do? Do you go back first, or do you just take a detour to Huayin?

Lu Su asked, what is the purpose of you meeting Jia Xu? Do you want to recruit him to Cao Gong's command? Did Xun Xin say this...... I really haven't thought about it. It is said that Jia Xu will vote for Cao sooner or later, and at most he will bring this time forward, but the problem is also here: Jia Wen, Yu Tianzi, and Baiguan all have favors, if he wanted to defect to Xu Du for a while, he would have gone a long time ago, why did he have to rely on Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiu successively? There is only one possibility, that is, he has not seen the future of the Xuchang small court clearly, and he is not willing to press the treasure in a hurry.

So if you go here, do you have a chance to say that he will vote for Cao now? To be honest, maybe it's not big. So what's the point of going on your own? Just simply admiring his name and wanting to meet him?

In fact, Xun is deep in his heart, and he hopes that the tragedy of "Zhanwan City" will not appear again. Cao Ang is okay, Cao De and Tai Shi Ci are inseparable from him, so Cao Anmin is Cao De's only son, Dian Wei has been fighting with Tai Shi Ci recently, how can he watch these two die inexplicably in that battle?

But it was not easy to say this to Lu Su, so he had to pretend to stroke his beard: "Jia Wen and Duozhi are close to demons, if they can't be snare in time, sooner or later they will be Cao Gong...... For the trouble of the court. ”

Lu Su had confidence in Shi Xunting, and said: "With Hongfu's tongue, it is expected that he can move Jia Xu and go to Xudu." However, this time he sent Wancheng, not Huayin, and did not return, but what? "After all, you didn't get Cao Cao's consent, and you didn't go back after a business trip, and you walked around with the outside as you like, which is not good. Shi Xun asked, "Is there a way to do both?" "Lu Su said, you might as well write a letter, carefully explain your thoughts to Cao Cao, and then send someone back to Xuchang to ask for instructions. After we finished Zhang Xiu's mission, we must go back directly, but just find an excuse - for example, Zhang Xiu graciously retained - to stay for a few more days, waiting for news, I don't think it's a big problem.

Yes Xun said yes, and immediately wrote a letter to Cao Cao at the desk. But of course, he couldn't tell the truth, he just told Cao Cao: I got Jia Xu's news in Wancheng, if this person returns to Chang'an, it will be difficult to determine in Guanxi, if he votes for Xuchang, then the world will be easy to peace, I hope to send me to Huayin again to find out his tone.

Then Xun stayed in Wancheng for the time being. He didn't say to leave, and Zhang Xiu was not good, so he set up a banquet every day to entertain him. Yes Xun took the opportunity to lobby Zhang Xiu, saying what future do you have with Liu Biao? Now that Cao Gonggui is the commonplace, he controls the government and governs, and if the general is really as the edict says, he is willing to be the barrier to the southwest of Xudu, the north is to resist the Guanxi group, and the south is to monitor Liu Biao's movements, then not only Nanyang County can be safe, but the future wealth is also limitless.

Zhang Xiu's ears are very soft, and the history books say that he obeys Jia Xu's words, although there are reasons for respecting and trusting Jia Xu, but at the same time, he also has no idea and wants to find someone to help him get the idea - maybe Jia Xu is also because of his special xing, so he "Yin knot Zhang Xiu", and he must come to Wancheng to enter the curtain of Zhang Xiu. Therefore, it was Xun Chanchan's repeated persuasion, and the more Zhang Xiu listened, the more justified he felt, and on the third day, he wrote a recital, thanking the court and vowing to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and at the same time wrote a letter, euphemistically expressing his will to Cao Cao, and asking Cao Cao to submit it to the imperial court.

Shixun sent a small soldier to send the letter and the song to Xuchang, and he himself still stayed in Wancheng and did not leave. Zhang Xiu asked him the reason in a roundabout way, and Shi Xun said, since you are here as a barrier in the southwest of Xuchang, of course I have to stay and take a look at it for the time being, and I will also help you come up with some ideas, so as not to be taken advantage of by Jian people. Zhang Xiu did not doubt him, and continued to entertain him every day.

Seven days later, Xu Du's reply arrived, agreeing that Shixun would go to Huayin again to meet Duan Xuan and Jia Xu. However, this time, Cao Cao did not invite the Son of Heaven to add the two officials as he did with Zhang Xiu, but only in the name of Sikong Mansion, he sent Lang Shixun to envoy Hua Yin, on the one hand, to encourage Duan Xuan, and on the other hand, to urge Duan Xuan and Lu Bu and others to work together to discuss Li Dao and Guo Yan. At the same time, according to Shi Xun's request, Cao Cao also attached several stacks of handwritten letters from the ministers......

It was Xun who was overjoyed, immediately bid farewell to Zhang Xiu, and continued to march to the northwest with Lu Su, Wu Zhen, Sun Wen, Wei Yan and others. They crossed the barberry cow, the golden gate, crossed the water, and went around the dry fang mountain in the east, and finally arrived at the county seat of Huayin after more than half a month, which was much more difficult than the road between Xuchang and Wancheng. Shi Xun sometimes can't help but think, why are you doing this? As long as I don't completely change the general trend of the world, at least this Central Plains will belong to the Cao family sooner or later, and I can always eat Ansheng rice with Cao Cao, why work so hard? Besides, this isn't my job in the first place, it's an extra errand that I got out of my life.

Zeng Shen once said: "I am three times a day and I am self-conscious: I seek to be loyal to others? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? Theoretically, this is a necessary moral code for a contemporary upright man, but the problem is that Xun does not belong to this era in his bones, let alone a scholar, and does not necessarily have much integrity...... Could it be that I have been reading the Bible recently, and I have finally made my brain stupid to read it like the book?

However, many things in life are like this, it is one thing to feel that it should not be done, whether it is worth doing or not, and it is another thing to not do it in the end, it is not purely intellectually driven, and it does not seem to be purely influenced by feelings. Maybe there is really a big hand in the dark that is promoting the development of history, and it is also controlling every small screw in the historical machine...... Even Xun still doesn't believe in God, and I don't know how many times he has cursed God secretly along the way.

So he was also playing the drum in his heart, this god is used to playing himself, will he go north to China Yin at the same time, Jia Xu went south to Wancheng...... It's too frustrating and too funny to do that.

finally arrived in Huayin, Duan Xuan had already gotten the news, but at this moment, Shixun's identity was not an angel, so he didn't have to go out of the city to greet him, but just sent his name to join the city, and waited at the gate of the mansion. On the way into the city, Shi Xun quietly asked the practitioner: "It is rumored that the Guanglu doctor Jia Cheng is in Huayin, but is it true?" He nodded respectfully and replied: "My general and Jia ...... The public must not leave for a while, and may also come to greet the councilor. "Okay, this time I didn't pass by.

Sure enough, Duan Xuan really came out with Jia Xu. It was Xun who paid attention to the famous Jia Wenhe, ah, yes, as the so-called "meeting is not as good as being famous", and the so-called "judging people by their appearance, losing their sons", this Jia Xu is really not very good-looking.

And I saw that this man was not tall, with broad shoulders, short hands and short feet, like a square, and his face was square, and his jaw was wide. However, as rumors say, Jia Xu, who is nearly fifty years old, has a slightly dark complexion, but he is smooth, not wrinkled, and his beard is not thick, and he looks like he is not yet forty years old.

Duan Xuan and Jia Xu will welcome Xun into the mansion and sit down as guests. Shi Xun handed over the letter written by his boss Kong Cao Cao to Duan Xuan, and called for two stacks of bamboo slips and wooden slips from the servants, and piled them up in front of Duan and Jia - "In the past, Li Dao and Guo Yan were wreaking, holding the big driver hostage, and bullying hundreds of officials, but fortunately, Jia Gong mediated and covered the court to make the court safe. Later, General Duan was well-fed and well-dressed, and he was very cautious, and Yang Ding attacked each other, and the general still did not abolish his duties. The great driver was able to return to the relocation, and the hundred officials got all the heads, all of which were the merits of the two monarchs. Therefore, on the occasion of the departure of the honor, the ministers and doctors all have books to enshrine each other in order to thank the merits of the two monarchs. ”

Those letters were specially asked by him to ask Cao Cao to find hundreds of officials, starting from Taichang Wang Jiang, Taifu Han Rong, Zhijin Wufuwan, etc., down to Tunqi Captain Jiang Xuan, Shangshu Wang Long, etc., there were dozens of letters-only Yang Biao and Zhao Wen, who served as the third duke, had a self-respecting identity and did not participate.

Jia Xu glanced at the letter in front of Duan Xuan, and then looked at the letter in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly say: "It seems that this is the speaker with bad intentions......" (to be continued)
