"Oh?" Jia Xu interjected in surprise: "The lord patted Feng Xiao on the shoulder twice? This move has a lot of meaning! ”

Guo Jia bowed his head when he heard this, and said, "Brother Wen and Brother are in one word." At that time, Mrs. Lingqi was pulling the corner of the lord's clothes and begging each other, but the lord had already expressed his heart in public and would not change his words, so he patted his little brother on the shoulder when he left. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, and a bitter smile appeared on his face again, as if he had palpitations and seemed to feel a lot.

"It was this gentle pat that reminded me of the promise I made in front of the lord four years ago, and I immediately knew why the lord ordered me to stay in Xiapi City to be in charge of the battle of Baimenlou and to deal with post-war matters."

Jia Xu noticed that Guo Jia's expression was a little dazed when he spoke, and immediately interjected to comfort: "Feng Xiao, don't blame yourself, after all, it has been four years since the incident, and it is excusable to forget it for a while, so there is no need to blame yourself." Fortunately, Feng Xiao is wise and wise, and he is known for his quick wisdom, so it is not too late to recall it in time and then remedy it. ”

After Guo Jia's narration, he reminded Jia Xu and reminded him of some things that he felt quite strange in recent years, and finally found the answer at this moment, it turned out that all qiē was caused by this.

In fact, before the Sili War, the information of the states and counties in the Central Plains was usually sent to Jia Xu as soon as possible, and then he screened it and then reported it to Li Liyu. However, after the Sili War, the situation changed abruptly, and inexplicably, Jia Xu never received any information related to Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and Li Li did not have any explanation for this. This invisibly made Jia Xu suspicious, and secretly wondered if his hand was too long. In turn, the lord Li Li was very displeased, so he withdrew some of his authority. This is to remind him not to interfere too much with the military aircraft, otherwise it will not be a retraction of his intelligence knowledge next time. Instead, he was directly relieved of his military advisorship.

For this reason, Jia Xu paid special attention to Li Li for a while, but found nothing, and did not find any dissatisfaction with Li Li at all. As a result, Jia Xu was secretly surprised in private, not knowing what the problem was, why did he suddenly lose the right to know the military situation of the Jianghuai prefectures and counties?

Since then. Jia Xu has become more and more cautious in dealing with people, and he does not dare to be negligent in anything, for fear that there will be mistakes in his own affairs. Lost some authority again, and was even completely squeezed out of the core decision-making layer. At the same time, he also knew that he had lost that part of the authority and Guo Jia took over, if it was added to Guo Jia's own authority. Guo Jia's authority has surpassed his Jia Xu. Later, he came to the top and became the chief military advisor who was most trusted by Li Li.

Seeing Guo Jia climbing on top of him day by day, if Jia Xu didn't have any ideas, I'm afraid he wouldn't even believe it. But Jia Xu has an unmatched strength, or advantage, that is, he can always maintain a normal heart, an extremely peaceful state of mind, and can stand loneliness. Even if it's a cold reception. For many years, he rarely competed for fame and fortune. Not to mention that the power is divided and troubled, the city government is very deep, the heart is tough, and the joy and anger are invisible. Whatever Li Li explains, he will do it wholeheartedly, and there will be no mistakes and Li Li will not be disappointed.

At the same time, Jia Xu never seized power, never did anything beyond the bounds, and did not act as trespassers. For a long time, he has always adhered to his duty, doing whatever he wants, or not doing it, or trying his best to do it well. Because of this, Li Li has always relied on him and trusted him, because he can reassure Li Li in everything he does. Maybe what he did was not perfect, but there has never been a mistake in the past, and Lao Cheng has become synonymous with Jia Xu, occupying an irreplaceable important position in Li Li's mind.

Therefore, although Li Li has successively included many strategists in recent years, there are many top strategists with outstanding wisdom and talents in both civil and military affairs, such as Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and Xun You. However, Jia Xu is still firmly in the position of chief military advisor, and he is still Li Li's most relied on right-hand man, and he has a pivotal and lofty position in the Xiliang Army, and no one can replace his position.

Today, there are five major strategists under Li Li's rule, and more than ten first-class strategists, and Jia Xu has always been in second place after Li Xuan. Among the only six civil and military generals under Li Li's rule, Jia Xu occupies a position, which is the same as Jiuqing, but the position is higher than that of the third duke. (The position is better than the three dukes, but the actual power is not inferior to the three dukes; The position is the same as the three dukes or the position and the three dukes, that is, the three dukes such as Sikong, Situ and Taiwei are equal to the three high positions of the dukes. ）

At this moment, after hearing Guo Jia's explanation, Jia Xu suddenly realized that he was too cautious, so that he misunderstood the lord Li Li and blamed Guo Jia. Fortunately, he didn't take any action and kept holding back, otherwise he would have made too many moves and asked for trouble.

In addition, Jia Xu persuaded Guo Jia not to blame himself or act coyly, but to persuade him sincerely. He knew very well how heavy the promise Guo Jia made at the beginning, and as a strategist, he was most afraid of making promises lightly, and once he made a promise, he must do it, otherwise he would deceive the lord, which would be equivalent to deceiving the king, and the consequences would be extremely severe. In the light of all, Guo Jia will lose his trust to Li Li, so it will be impossible to gain Li Li's trust; In the worst case, Guo Jia's previous achievements will be completely negated, and years of hard work will be in vain, and he will become a dispensable marginal civil official from then on, and may even be killed.

And this is the true portrayal of the companion like the tiger. As a close minister, it is easy to gain power, but it is faster to lose power; Misuse of words or misunderstanding of the Lord's intentions can lead to unimaginable consequences, ranging from dismissal to death. Guo Jia, on the other hand, is a combination of both, with promises in the front and misunderstandings in the back, and his dangerous journey is obvious.

Fortunately, Guo Jia's reputation as a ghost talent is by no means in vain, he was born with a delicate mind, excellent wisdom, and is especially good at improvisation.

"Yes, thanks to the gentle pat on my shoulder, it reminds me of the bold words I made when I was a young man." Guo Jia said with palpitations.

Jia Xu bowed his head and said: "Fengxiao is bold and careful, witty, if you change to a foolish brother, I am afraid that you will never dare to promise in front of the lord." After speaking, Jia Xu couldn't help but laugh. His smile was very sincere, and his eyes were full of admiration and appreciation, which made Guo Jia deeply encouraged when he saw it, and immediately abandoned his sorrow and smiled.

"Don't hide it from Brother Wenhe, in order to make Lu Bu die to serve the lord, the younger brother has worked hard, and it takes a lot of effort."

Speaking of the process of subduing Lu Bu, Guo Jia reached out and picked up the arrow shaft on the case, and continued: "In fact, the lord patted me twice on the shoulder to allow me to exert pressure on Lu Bu, including various punishments, which can be tortured severely, so that he can taste the pain of flesh and skin and have a long memory." However, if Lu Bu really follows the lord in the future, he will be our colleagues, not to mention that there is Mrs. Lingqi who serves by the lord's side all day long; All of this made me quite scruples, and I had to think carefully about countermeasures.

In desperation, I came up with a farce of his execution at the Beicheng Execution Ground. In advance, he ordered his soldiers to build more than 100 such arrows, which at first glance looked like sharp arrows, but in fact this was just a wooden pole, with neither arrows nor feathers, and even clothes could not be worn through, so it could not kill people at all. In addition, the last sentry who broke into the execution ground to deliver the false military order was actually the captain of the guard under my account. I was afraid that ordinary soldiers would not be able to grasp the opportunity, so I asked him to pretend to be the lord's own soldiers, hide on the north gate tower in advance to watch the execution, and when the time came, he rushed into the execution ground and conveyed the lord's military order. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said with a smile: "The whole thing is like this." It sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it's just to scare Lu Bu. It's just a subtotal, it's not worth mentioning, which makes Wen and Brother laugh. ”

"A small subtotal? Hehehe, Feng Xiao is too humble! ”

Jia Xu was stunned and responded, and then laughed while brushing his beard, while pouring Guo Jia a cup of hot tea again, and said with a smile: "If Fengxiao's plan is still a small plan, then what kind of plan can it be regarded as a big plan?" In fact, it is not surprising that many strategies in the world are clearly identified, and what is really valuable lies in whether the strategy is feasible and whether it can achieve the desired effect or strategic intent. Obviously, Feng Xiao's plan was perfect, there was no trace in advance, and he was impeccable in the matter, and he successfully subdued Lu Bu, the tiger, and made him grateful to you, and his family and Mrs. Lingqi thanked you for your great kindness, and also maintained the supreme majesty of the lord.

Is such a ploy a tribulation? This is the real great wisdom, with the words 'fast, accurate, ruthless' are not enough to describe the wisdom of this plan, of which courage and courage are the most important. Every link is almost perfect, impeccable, pressing step by step, interlocking, forcing away the only trace of luck left in Lu Bu's heart, and then pushing him into the bottomless abyss, causing him to collapse psychologically, his heart is like ashes, and he is completely desperate.

If Lu Bu was subdued at this time, his people might still rebel in the future, and Feng Xiao had expected this, so he pushed him to the execution platform and allowed his wife and concubine to come to see him off. This move was to stimulate Lu Bu's desire to survive, and make him realize that there are still people and things in the world that are worthy of his nostalgia, as well as many extremely innocent relatives who are implicated by him. When he realized the preciousness of survival, Huan Fei stepped forward to toast so that he could taste the evil fruits of many injustices and kill himself, so that his heart was full of bitterness, and his heart endured endless torture and struggle, and he repented of what he had done before. And the last hundred or so arrows without arrows and clusters of arrows made him feel the taste of death once, and imprinted an indelible permanent memory in his heart, and he would never and dare not make the same mistake again in his life. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Xu took the case and exclaimed sincerely: "Such a tight plan, how can the word 'absolute'!" ”

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this, and smiled humbly: "Brother Wenhe is too famous. If it is an ordinary general, he can be subdued by knowing the benefits and disadvantages, and he can be subdued by grace and power. But who is Lu Bu? He is a capricious tiger of the world. It takes a thousand jun to fight the tiger, and the tiger needs ten thousand jun power, and to convince this tiger in the world, it is not enough to deter its will, it is not enough to dispel its thoughts, and it is not enough to make it remember it for life! ”
