Guo Jia met Jia Xu's gaze, first took a big sip of wine, and then slowly expounded his theory of ten defeats and ten wins.

"One! Yuan Shao pays attention to cumbersome etiquette; Your Majesty is naturally detached and approachable, this is Dao Sheng! ”

"Second! Yuan Shao had ill intentions and held the Son of Heaven hostage; Your Majesty is a descendant of Gaozu, occupying the great unification, and the destiny of heaven returns, this is righteous victory! ”

"Third! Yuan Shao is tolerant on the outside but jealous on the inside, and he is suspicious of people; His Majesty is simple and easy on the outside, but he is shrewd and holy on the inside, and he is not suspicious of employing people, this is a victory! ”

"Fourth! Yuan Shao is more scheming and less decisive, and indecisive like a woman. Fu Zhu once proposed to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order him not to be subordinate, but Yuan Shao refused, so that he was welcomed away by Cao Cao and regretted it; His Majesty improvised and escaped from Cao Cao's men and placed Yuan Shao under house arrest, but he was able to quickly win over the forbidden army and make me willing to surrender, this is a victory! ”

"Fifth! Yuan Shaogao discussed concessions to collect reputation, and many of the scholars who talked boastfully went to return; Your Majesty treats people with sincerity and does not like vanity appearances, this is Desheng! ”

"Sixth! Yuan Shao's subordinates fought for power and profit, slandered each other, and were confused; His Majesty appointed Liu Bei and Lu Bu and made them turn hostility into jade silk, this is a Ming victory! ”

"Seventh! Yuan Shao's heirs are hostile to each other, and brothers who are not in harmony will be on the wall; Your Majesty has no heirs, don't worry, this is a victory! ”

"Eighth! Yuan Shao likes to bluff, he doesn't know the art of war, although there are very few generals under his command who can take on the banner; His Majesty's fierce generals such as Lu Fengxian, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide are all enemies, and this is a martial victory! ”

"The ninth! Yuan Shao is now forty-three years old, and he has reached the age of no confusion, dying of old age, and often suffering from illness; Your Majesty is not yet weak, and he is in the prime of life, this is a longevity! ”

Guo Jia talked eloquently, expressing the splendor.

Nine wins and nine defeats, a jar of wine has bottomed out.

Jia Xu listened attentively, and with his scheming strategy, he had not yet been able to see so comprehensively.

Lu Bu, a capricious villain, even took refuge in the Son of Heaven!

Seeing that after Guo Jia finished talking about nine wins and nine defeats, he drank by himself and stopped talking, he was anxious, grabbed Guo Jia's sleeve and asked, "Fengxiao, what about the last victory and defeat?" ”

"Hahaha! This final victory and defeat depends on Brother Wen He! ”

Guo Jia laughed out loud, pointed at Jia Xu, and then suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and slapped it heavily on the table.

"If Brother Wen He is willing to help His Majesty, then Yuan Shao will lose a great talent, and Your Majesty will have one more arm to help, this is a victory!"

"Yuan Shao has ten defeats, Your Majesty has ten victories!"

"Your Majesty has taken up all the victories of Dao, righteousness, degree, and victory, virtue, Ming, Zi, Wu, Shou, and people, and is there any reason why the great cause of reviving the Han family will not be possible?"

"The words have come to this, for the sake of Yanhan, for yourself, and for the sake of your family. Please decide with Brother Wenhe! ”

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia's dagger on the table in disbelief, he knew what Guo Jia meant.

Guo Jia has already made it clear to him that if he doesn't agree to serve the Son of Heaven, then he will have to die today!

In addition, even the family members are not escaped.

A cold sweat broke out behind Jia Xu's back.

never expected Guo Jia to be so shady that he secretly found his family.

For a moment, the air in the courtyard seemed to freeze.

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke, only the hoarse chirping of cicadas came from afar.

After a long time, Jia Xu sighed faintly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said helplessly: "Why is Fengxiao here?" ”

He just wanted to test Guo Jia today, and by the way, he explored the hole cards of the Son of Heaven.

But what he didn't expect was that Guo Jia would be so resolute, and he actually came with the purpose of making his whole family successful if he didn't succeed!

"Brother Wen He, don't talk nonsense, are you willing to be loyal to Your Majesty?" Guo Jia stared straight at Jia Xu.

As long as Jia Xu's eyes wavered in the slightest when he answered, he would not hesitate to do it.

Jia Xu restrained his expression and said, "I can't hide it, when I came to Yecheng, I made two plans. ”

"What do you mean?" Guo Jia squinted slightly and clenched the dagger in his hand.

Jia Xu smiled, "I came to Yecheng not to be effectively loyal to Yuan Shao. Don't laugh at filial piety, I've always pursued the way of self-preservation. Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, the power is strong, and he can live a stable and prosperous life under his command. ”

"After coming to Yecheng, I found that Yuan Shao was not like a human master...... The specific reason is also mentioned in the theory of ten wins and ten defeats. ”

"Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, he is not the master, and voting for him can ensure temporary stability, but it is by no means a long-term way."

Guo Jia nodded slightly and asked, "Brother Wen He's second hand plans ......?"

"Not bad." Jia Xu said calmly: "Although I, Jia Xu, am self-interested, I also read the books of sages and sages, and I also know the righteousness. ”

"It is not my wish to take refuge in Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, if I have the opportunity, I am also willing to follow the Lord of Ming to achieve a great cause."

"The second preparation for coming to Yecheng is that if Yuan Shao is not enough to follow, he will secretly observe the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven is worthy of assistance, I am willing to do my best to help the Son of Heaven rebuild the Han Dynasty."

"If Yuan Shao and the Son of Heaven are not worth following, then they will go."

Guo Jia's heart relaxed a little when he heard this, but he was still unsure of Jia Xu's true intentions, and asked: "Then in Brother Wenhe's heart, is His Majesty virtuous and worthy of assistance?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Feng Xiao is a clever person, Lu Bu is a fierce general who is unparalleled in the world, how can the monarch who can make Feng Xiao and Lu Bu loyal, how can he be a mediocre and incompetent person?" Although I haven't had too deep contact with Your Majesty, through the two of you, I can also see that Your Majesty has a gully in his chest, but he is currently trapped in the shallows. ”

"Therefore ......"

Jia Xu said, suddenly stood up, and said to Guo Jia: "Let me Jia Wenhe, come and make up for the last of the ten victories for Your Majesty!" ”

These words are loud and clear!

Guo Jia stared at Jia Xu, and the latter did not dodge or dodge, meeting his gaze, his face was calm.

After a while, Guo Jia let go of the dagger in his hand, got up and looked at Jia Xu deeply, and said apologetically: "Brother Wenhe, I was rude just now. ”

"If Wen and his brother have complaints against me, although they are beaten and scolded, I will never fight back, but I hope that Wen and my brother can do their best to assist Your Majesty."

Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, and his family was worry-free for the time being.

He smiled, helped Guo Jia up, and said, "Such a big matter, you must be extremely cautious, how can I take it to heart?" ”

Guo Jia's appearance is a weak scholar, or the kind of weak scholar who drinks all day long.

But who would have thought that such a person would be so vicious.

Jia Xu understands that if he doesn't show his mentality today, whether it is him or the family members who arranged to hide early, they will all die.

Guo Jia knew that the coercion of his family was not done by a gentleman, so he smiled bitterly: "It is a matter of Your Majesty's safety, if you fail to recruit Brother Wen and Brother today, so that the news leaks and puts Your Majesty in danger, I really can't give up." ”

Jia Xu nodded, indicating that he could understand.

If it were him, his approach would be even more vicious than Guo Jia's.

"When you have free time, please take me into the palace to meet Your Majesty. Some things are better to tell His Majesty in person. ”

Guo Jia laughed, "Your Majesty will be very happy if you know that Brother Wen He is coming to vote." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, as if they had reunited with friends they hadn't seen for a long time, as if the previous scene of fighting each other had never happened at all.

Jia Xu took another jar of wine and slammed it on the table, "Come on, come on, Fengxiao, we won't get drunk today." ”

Guo Jia picked up a glass of wine and sniffed it deeply under his nose, his face full of intoxication.

"This wine is indeed good, I drank it too fast, and now I have to taste it."

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia, who looked like a drunkard, and it was hard to imagine that this person was so scheming and cunning.

"When I find an opportunity, go to Yuan Shao and ask for a few more altars to give to Fengxiao."

In the scorching summer, in the small courtyard, the two top strategists of the day drank wine and talked freely.

When the two of them were slightly drunk, Jia Xu said: "Fengxiao, after listening to your ten victories and ten defeats, I also have Yuan Shao's ten defeats in my heart, and several of them coincide with you. ”

Guo Jia poured a sip of wine, burped, and said, "Brother Wen He, what do you think, tell me quickly." ”

Jia Xu sorted out his thoughts and said: "Although Yuan Shao is powerful, he is surrounded by strong enemies, such as Cao Apu in Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and Lu Fengxian in Xuzhou. There are factional struggles and mutual attacks, and their genera are different. It's a failure. ”

"Yuan Shu became the emperor, which greatly weakened the prestige of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao must not be able to respond as before. This is a second defeat. ”

"The Son of Heaven is rising, although it is weak, but it is dark. Although Yuan Shao is strong, he is in Ming. Take advantage of the opportunity with dark maps. This is a triple defeat. ”

"Lu Bu secretly attached himself and occupied Xuzhou and Yangzhou for His Majesty's use, but it was ridiculous that Yuan Shao didn't know it. Not only did he not fortify Lu Bu, but he also tried in vain to win him over. This is a four-defeat defeat. ”

In order to suppress Liu Bei, Yuan Shao pretended to be the edict of the Son of Heaven and canonized him as the pastor of Jingzhou. However, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, the three princes of the world! I don't see the incident, I am suspicious and indecisive, and I can't do anything. thought that with Liu Bei's ability, he would definitely be able to seize Jingzhou from Liu Biao's thieves who defended the city. This is a five-defeat defeat. ”

"The Yan and Han dynasties have been inherited for more than 300 years, and the hearts of the people in the world belong to the Han, and the righteousness is in the Son of Heaven. The Yuan family is favored by the country, and if Yuan Shao is born with a heart of disobedience, how is it different from an animal? At that time, it will lose the hearts of the people, and the world will attack it together. This is a six-defeat defeat. ”

"Yuan Shao coerced the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, and Cao Cao was in the south, and there were also puppets of the puppet emperor, and the two must fight each other. The Son of Heaven can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the fisherman will benefit. This is seven defeats. ”

"Yuan Shao can still make a decisive decision against the trend, and work together from top to bottom. Homeopathy is indecisive and does not listen to others' advice. This is an eight-defeat defeat. ”

"Yuan Shao is a general with a wide range of talents, many soldiers and little food. Listen to villains and alienate loyal people. This is nine defeats. ”

"Yuan Shao's sons are fighting, and the brothers are on the wall, and they are on the same page. This is a ten defeats. ”
